' on them, they should educate themselves
:ind their children. It is the duty and the
interest of the white men to help the col-ored
men in their educational and moral
training. If we were actuated by interest
alone, we should rather contribute to than
attempt to retard their advancement. They
are politically the equals of the whites,
and education will go far to make them
morally and mentally HO. Let there be no
war of races among us—let us look to
each other's welfare. It is true that many
of the whites are deprived of the political
rights which the colored men will enjoy,
bat that should not, and will not, create
envious and unkind feelings. He conclu-ded
by advisin;; them to regard the white
men, who have been born and reared
among them, as friends. Let no harsh feel-ings
exist between us ; look to each oth-er's
welfare and happiness; and last,
though not least, look to your educational
and moral improvement.

l'ickett, (freedmen.) He should like to
give a full report id'the remarks of the
. different speakers, but, ns that is imprac-
: ticable, we shall content ourselves with an
abstract. The proceedings were opened
with prayer by Kev. Simon Miller, (freed-man.)
Gen. Hampton spoke of the vast Impor-tance
of the present movement—not only
to the colored, but to the white man. He
advised the freedmen to give their friends
al the South a fair trial, and it they were
found wanting, it was then time enough to
But the subject itself was
one so vast in importance ami the notice
of such a meeting so brief, that he did not
purpose doing more than to indicate his
heart's concurrence iu some of the views
already presented, intending thereby to
add his testimony of their correctness.—
He said that they had heard that the in-terest
of the white man and the colored
man of t; e South were one and the same.
Tbey are part of the same society, inhabi-ting
the same land, under the same sun,
breathing the same atmosphere; and if
the lessons of history and reason taught
anything, they taught that, under such cir-cumstances,
the two races must prosper
or perish together. Differences of soil,
cliaiate and government, are the principal
causes ot difference, and consequent con-flict
of interest. In a vast country, with
a wide range of climate and almost infin-ite
variety of soil, there must naturally,
perhaps necessarily, arise such conflict.—
Legislation which may be productive of
good results to one portion of such acouu-trv,
iii:iv he utterly disastrous to another.
But with the same soil and climate, and
surrounded by circumstances the same in
all essential particulars, the white man and
the colored man of the South have the
same interest, the same destiny. It was
impossible, at this time, to mark out and
recommend any particular line of policy.
Everything was in doubt and confusion.—
Trade, the mechanic arts, every depart-ment
of industry, were palsied by the un-certain,
unsettled condition of affairs.
The country can know no prospeiity
without peace, and that end can be attain-ed
only by discarding all elements of strife,
and promoting harmony and concert ol
action. The advice which common sense
gives to the colored population of the
S.wth in the present emergency is, to try
those of the community whom you have
known—those who have hitherto proved
themselves worthy of confidence—those
who have the same interest. Unite with
those. If these deceive you, it will then
be time enough to experiment on the sym-pathies
of strangers. He said lie knew he
expressed the feeling of the inteligeut
white men of the South, when he said that
they cherished no semblance of hostillity
toward the colored man, on account ol his
altered circumstances. The enemies of
the South, will endeavor to foment dissen-sions
and jealousies, for the purpose of
stiil farther tearing, weakening and plun-dering
our already desolated land ; but if
the Southern people, white and colored,
stand united, there is ground to hope that
our children, it' not ourselves, may enjoy a
long period of trar.quility and peace, of
prosperity ami happiness.
Beverly Nash, (colored) replied to the
generally expressed statements of the
white s]leakers, that they were disfran-chised,
by stating that the colored people
would present such a strong and uuani-m.'
tis petition to Congress, that attention
would be paid to it—in fact the colored
men would not rest until the whites had
be* n enfranchised. He had respect for a
man who upheld his principles at the
point of the bayonet; whereas skulkers
and -cal i Union men at the South, he
could designate as nothing better than
tra tors. lie adv> cited universal suffrage
—believing that the driver of a one horse
earl was as much entitled to that right as
the owner oi a block of buildings. He
quoted freely from history to show the
importance of the right of suffrage, and
advised the colored people, in the selec-tion
of their candidates, to look to merit
alone. As to not knowing who or what
they would be called on to vote for, the
11th, 1867, the undersigned hereby as-sumes
command of the Second Military
District constituted by the Act of Con-gress.
Public No.'08,2nd March 1867, eD-titled
"An act for the more efficient gov-ernment
ofthe rebel States."
II. In the execution of the duty of the
Commanding General to maintain the se-curity
of the inhabitants in their persons
and property, to suppress insurrection, dis-order
and violence, and to be punished or
caused t» bo punished all disturbers of the
public peace and criminals, the local civil
tribunals will be permttted to take juris-diction
of and try offenders, excepting on-ly
such cases as may by the order of the
Commanding General be referred to a
commissioner or other military tribunal
for trial.
III. The civil government now existing
in North Carolina and South Carolina is
provisional only, fM in all respects sub-ject
to the paramount authority of the
United States, at sfay time to abolish, mod-ify,
control or supercede the same. Local
laws and municipal regulations not incon-sistent
with the constitution and laws of
the United States, or the proclamations of
the President, or with such regulations as
are or may be prescribed in the orders of
the Commanding General, are hereby de-clared
to be in force; and, in conformity
therewith, civil officers are hereby author-ized
to continue the exercise of their prop-er
functions, and will be respected and
obeyed by the inhabitants.
IV. Whenever any civil officer, Magis-trate,
or Court neglects or refuses to per-form
an official act properly required of said
tribunal or officer, whereby due and right-ful
security to person or property shall be
denied, the case will be reported by the
Post Commander *x> these headquarters.
V. Post Commanders will cause to be
arrested persons charged with the commis-sion
of crimes and offences when the civil
authorities fail to arrest and bring such of-fenders
to trial, and will hold the accused
in custody for trial by Military Commis-sion,
Provost Court or other tribunal or-ganized
pursuant to orders from these
headquarters. Arrests by military au-thority
will be reported promptly. The
charges preferred will be accompanied
by the evidence on which they are
founded.
VI. The Commanding General desiring
to preserve tranquility and order by means
and agencies most congenial to the people,
solicits the zealous and cordial co-operation
of civil officers in the discharge of their
duties, and the aid of all goo-' citizens in
preventing conduct tending to disturb the
peace ; and to the end that occasion may

An examination revealed the sad fact
that the degraded and poverty-stricken
being before him was the once celebrated
Minnie Boker ; that, abused, beaten, and
starved by her husband, she was finally
compelled to leave him, and, alas for hu-man
nature! to drown her grief and sor-row
in liquor. The sympathies of the
gentleman were aroused, and he made
temporary provision for her, and after-wards
induced a religious society to take
her iu charge and give her a home. Here
she remained, apparently contented and
grateful, for obvious reasons assuming an-other
name—Sarah Milton. About a
month ago she told the matron that a fe-male
friend had a shawl belonging to her,
aud she was going to recover it, and un-der
this plea went out from the home.—

some purchase for her.
Since then she has not been 6eenby any
interested in her, bit definite rumors have
reached them that she had purchased
liquor at several low " drinkeries."
" This and nothing more " is one of the
saddest events in domestic life, but soirow-ful
thoughts suggest themselves which
are not creditable* to human nature. We
cannot see that tho stern father was justi-fied,
on any correct principles, in thus
abandoning a daughter to a fate which ho
might have forseen.
We most sincerely trust, for the 6ake of
human natuie, that the consciences of the
brothers, who inherited the immense
wealth of Mr. Boker—thus increased by
the worse than death of a sister—are dai-ly
and nightly agitated, and that they will
continue so till they seek out aud provide
for and save (for who will doubt that she
can bo saved ? ) an only sister.

and could only give a few words of coun-sel.

TUB NEGRO'S OPINION.—The more in-telligent
of the blacks are no little con-cerned
about the state of the country.—
The other day two men of color were
talking upon this subject to one of our ci-tizens.
They said they deplored the con-dition
of affairs as they now stand. They
could see nothing but ruin and constant
confusion and turbulence for their race un-der
tho Military bill. The enfranchising
act they regard as the greatest misfor-tunes
befalling them. Thej feared future
developments, for they knew that design-ing
men will operate upon the more ignor-ant
and credulous of their race, and under
the combined influence of bad white men
and bad black men, they can see no escape
from utter ruin. The bestowment of the
elective franchise is, in their opinion, just
ten years too soon. One of the negroes
was a mechanic. He remarked that he
saw now more necessity for being polite
and respectful to the whites than ever be-fore.
" My own race ;" said he, " cannot
furnish me with labor, by which I can sup-port
my family, therefore I must look to
the whites for employment. They will
not hire mo unless I behave myself, and
merit their esteem " There is philosophy,
there is good sense in this statement.

day:
We have time only before going to
press, to give a brief sketch of the pro-ceedings
on yesterday iu the Commons
Hall, in this City, of the reconstruction
meeting. The reconstruction meeting,
called by the loyal members of the Leg-islature

Chair, and on motion of W. W. Holdeu,
appointing as Secretaries Dr. H. J. Men-uinger,

Goode, of Craven, (colored,) Vice Presi-dents.

and J. E. O'llara, of Wayne, (coloreo)
Secretaries.
Mr. Jones was conducted to the Chair
by Dr. William Sloan, of Gaston, (white,)
and Jas. II. Harris, of Wake, (colored.)
He then returned his thanks for the hon-or,
and spoke at some length in an elo-quent
strain on the condition of the coun-try,
and the importance of the delibera-tions
ot the body over which he had been
called to preside.
Considerable discussion ensued on va-rious
motions, in which a number ofmem-bers

ROCK ISLAND MITLS.—The Rock Is.and
Woolen Mills, at Charlotte, ought to be
sustained by the people of the State, far
and near. We learn from The limes that
these mills are now turning out as beauti-ful
and fashionable fabrics as can be had
in anv market in the country, and, accord-ing
to quality, as cheap. This is an at-tempt
at Southern Independence in the
right direction, and if wo wish ever to be
a growing, thirving community, all must
encourage it, not by words of commenda-tion
but by acts. Every merchant of this
citv should" buy his whole stock there, for
by so doing he enables the mills to employ
a large force, who have to be supplied
with all the articles that are kept here for
sale. In that way money is kept in the
country and in circulation among us, thus
giving'an increased aud continued impetus
to all branches of trade. Every motive
thau can sway the minds of a people is
now appealed to to encourage and sustain
th.-se enterprises at home. AVe hone the
President of the company will make the
public more generally acquainted wi h the
mills and the quality of their manufac-tures.—

A good joke is told on one of our clev-saloon-
keepers, which is too lull of genu-ine
humor, "under pressing circumstan-ces,"
to be lost.
A short time ago a representative of the
Green Isle stepped into the saloon of the
person above alluded to, and with a coun-tenance
full of inquiry, said :
" An' have you got any good rye whis-key
?
" Yes, very good ; the best in town,"
said the saloon man.
"An' have j ou got any half-pint bottles,
my good man ?"
" Yes," was the reply.
"An' will you please fill one with your
best rye whiskey for me ?"
"Of course," said the obliping dealer ;
and after reaching for the required flask,
and spending a full half hour cleaning it,
repaired to the cellar, drew half a pint of
his Bourbon, anil presented it to the gen-th-
man in waiting
