Since our last issue copious showers of rain have fallen over the district, and the prospect so far for an abundant yield of corn is favorable. Travelers report that the signs of a large yield of grain, fruits and vegetables, ar? prevalent wherever cultivation has not been interrupted. Melons made their appearance in this market on' Monday, being "a huckleberry above our we did not indulge.

The Difference. The'city of Columbia, we are pleased to know is reviving, and in a business way is fast assuming a just importance, from the energy and tact of its enterprising citizens. Business houses are opening in every quarter, and judging from the number of advertisers, who have the good tact to tell people that they are well supplied with such goods as-every one needs, trade must be lively. Anything can be had there now, from a 'hook to a hand On the'other hand when we look around on this little town, a sigh is fetched, long and deep; where ate our merchants? have they a any new goods? if.so, do they -wish it known? opine-tot, else they would advertise their wares and merchandize, and not trust to the chapter of accidents, for an occasional customer, who may just happen to smell a rat or stumble over something when least expected. Public leeting Next Monday.

A meeting of the citizens of Newberry will be held here on Monday next, 3d July, for the purpose of takipg measures preparatory to the resforation of civil government. We think the nied of such meeting quite obvious. We are without communication not only with the outer world but even with our sister districts; no railroad communication, no civil government. Why should we not prefer the restoration of civil rather than this uncertain and dangerous state of things. From the Columbia Phoeni.x, of the 24th wn extract the following paragraph "We learn that 'ir.

Boyce has returned from his mission at Washington; that he saw and was well received by. the President, who declared 'hiimself in a friendly and indulgent as regards the State, and expressed the desireto receive the early avowal of the people in favor of the restoration of the civil authority in the country. He only wants the general shewing of 'the people to this effect to make the appointment of rovisional Governor, when the ci-vil authority 'would take the place of the military. We have not seen or heard from Mr. Boy ce in-person, but these statements come from trustworthy sources.

In respect to the popular movement in South Carolina, we need but add that, so far as we have any direct sources of infbrmation, we arc to the belief that the people are moving i every precinct to the -same end.

And whereas, in the judgment of this meeting, the course of action which pmomises most effectually, to bring about this result is a proud and free acceptance on the part of the people, of the state of tbings which the disastrous termination of the war has brought upon us, and the recognition, without reserve, of the authority of the Constitution and laws of the UnitedStates, and the expression of our readiness -heneefoth to act the part of good citizens'.

To the People of Newberry District. FELLOW CrIzzas-After a bloody war of four long, weary years, in' which we have suffered great losses of property and still greater mental anxiety and distress, we find ourselves vanquished aijd exhausted.

Our State Government has been superseded by military rate, all the bonds of society have been relaxed, business of every kind is suspended, and.under the depressing infuences of the uncertainty in. which our fate is involved, men seem to shrink from taking counsel together for averting even greater evil consequnces from the past, and protecting, if possible, what still remains t'o us fo.r the future. Tere are two courses open to us in the present emergency. We may remain wholly passive, and await the development of events; or we can meet together and conisider what measures we can adopt, to protect most effectually to the ex-1 tent of our power, persons and property, and our personal and political In my judgmeizt to sit still, and attempt nothing, will only increase the evils of our present condition. Our silence and inaction will be regarde( by the authorities as signs of sullenness and obstinacyL and especially as we were first tolead in the late disastrous revolution, and they will think-it necessary to 'continue military rule in the State, or a government will organied by means of immigrant settlers from other -States, and that portion- of the population which has less at stake than many amongst ourelves.

To prevent such results, it seems to me the wisest course to give expression, ini public meetings, to our that the war is fmally ended, that the attempted revolution has failed, that we have no as we have no power, to renew it; that we accept the destiny which, by the decree of the Sovereign Disposer of all events, has becomne.cours; and that we are preared to submit to the authority df the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Soe soon as it is thus made apparent to the Govern-, met that we are prepared to recognize authority, and to aet the part of -good citizers, all pretets for the continuance of these mesures which have been adopted as war measures, will removed, and those righCs yhich have been suspended during the existence of hostilitie will revive in full vigor and force-. At all eveats, it seems far better to me thus to attempt to shape, our future to sit still ant do nothing. There is much left to us that' is worth living for and laboring for, and if we securing the recognition of those iights which were- once ours, and which no assertibn of power can cause tdi cease to be ours, we shdil at least have the satisfaction of kr-owing that we $made the effort. thesereasons, I have seen with satisfaction, the card of Mr.

T. P. Slider, in the Herld, for a public meeting of the citizens of the 'itrict, on the first Monday in July, prox. To his suggestion I give my cordial concurrene, and 4 only Weapon. EA.

FRoa LZTEL, June 1865. I.beg to ake known to. the public the men, with their who have been fisiting our house as rogues, plundering and pillaging, cursing and abusing myself and my aged mother. in-lag to say nothing. of the abuse and insult, lavished upon my husband.

I am satisfied that they are nothing more nor 'less than rogues; dastards and cowards of the deepest dye, and believe that the honest and patriotic, will coincide with me, when I have 6 hed. One man in the party, named Dupre, went so far as to make the assertion, confirming it with strong oaths, that no man was a gentleman who would not steal. The second, Spqnce.L. Beard; delighted in boasting of his character and bravery he has been a deserter the greater part of his time of service, and it is said he acted as courier for the deserters below this, informing them, of the movements of the supporting force about Newberry. This is his bravery.

I ask Mr. Abraham Moore, and his neighbors, if they do not recollect finding Mr. Moore's hides, that had been in this same Beard's house I ask the citizens generally, if they do not remember Col. Fair finding his saddle at the same 1)o not the citizens of Frog Level remember the tale of Mr. David Kibler's buggy harnesa found them in Beard's house, nicely boxed up.

This is his cheracter. Various other things could be produced, suc as stealing of chickens, but I deem it needless.John Wilson, of the same pdrty, was forced ipto New. Market Height's fight, in June -1864; a -Srgeait of his company dragged him into line of bttle by the collar, but he soon ran back to the rear. Now I claim, that brave and honest men would not be connected with such villians, and so wild 'eaeon lead every one to believe, who is not prejndiced. Besides the three named, there were three others who visited the house, viz: Ienry Beard, Lambert Moore, and one man named Bob.

The Captain of t'ie party remained out from the house in the bushes-Captain Dr. R. Calvin iWer. I am unable to say hdw many he cam-. manded at the rallying ground, but would suppose, a heavy support.

The parties who informed them of my husbandhaving a lot of Gorvinment mores, know it-to be false. As proof of the same: they would say do not tell that.I said anything. I would here state that Adam Kibler and Adam Sheeley, that they would not tell it, but I accidentally know them to be the first 'men to start such a report. If you were any 'part gentlemen, when it became necessary to call men together for any purpose, yoan would have gentlemen, and not 1 such scoundlelsb as I have portrayed. Such men must be four associates, as they are your sons and 'kindred.

I could mention others who have been teUing falsehoods, but-as -they have relations who I greatly. esteem, I refrin from doing so. I am offeiid protection by a greater.force than you can muster, and if I wa's to report your past conduict, woe be to you. JULIA AULL.

H. Blease, formerly of this place, died in' Edgefield '-istrict, June 12th, aged 31 yedrs, 4 months, and 10 days.This slight tribute'to her memory is offered by a friend. For some time previous to her death she suffered with the painful'- disease of cancer of the stomach. She bore her suffering with a meek resignation to the providence of thaG God who disposes all things his wisdom. Hecr only regrets were Ieavinai an affectionate husband and three young children, whom she loved so much, and who so much needed her care and affection.

She folded her' arms in the- cold einbrace of death, with consoling hope of meeting them-all again in a brighter and better world, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, where God will wipe all tears from their eyes; where death would separate them no more. As a wife, she was'devoted to her husband, as a mother none could be more lovidg to her child dren, as a friend she was unwavering, as a neighbor she was kind and obliging. She helped the needy, soothed the suffering- and sympathized with thie sorrowing. We shall not look upon her like again Green grow the grass ab.ove- thee, Friend of my better days knew thee but to love thee, -None namned thee but to Cokesbury Di.t. S.
