Honor to the Brave.
The spontaneous gathering of citizens, to
welcome the return of our VETERAN. Son-
maas, was alike creditable and cheating.—
To see aTwhole people, moved as by; a com;
lnon impulse, to do honor to the men who.
have‘fought our battles and ensured our lib"-
erties, is proof conclusive, that the hearts of
the people beat in unison. with those of our
boldlery,‘ and it gives the lie to the acknowl-
edged adage-that republics are ungrateful;—
Judge Butler spoke the sentiments-bf the
three thousand present, and of-inany. not
present, when be thanked 'the' soldie'rsiul
words. of burning eloquence and ascribed ‘
our salvation to their deeds of heroism and '
of sufiering. And when Gen. Ferry alluded
intoucbiug terms tothe fifty sons of Nor-
Walk-,‘who have given their lives for our "eels
vation, he struck a cord of sympathy widen
vibrated through the hearts of" that vast as"1
sembly, and will have a deep and mung-rm
pression. _ . _

iiii expense of more than a thousand dollars, ‘
they have given them a welcome home—‘-

;But is'tbis to be the end of it ? Arewe new:

ty done i What is to become of the sick

fort. What honors are to . be paid-30,1130

children of these men look up toucfor help,
will we turn them over to the selectmen, to

children of the men who have. died-for our
salvation, be left uncured for, whilst we rev-
.el in the wealth and comfort which they
have purchased for us with their blood 1 Or
shall we raise a monument to their memory
more durable than marble, mine? precious
than a shrine of silver, by , establishing, for
these orphans a Hon, 'where their wants ,
shall be supplied, and theycan be trained for .
the service of their country.
Such a Home is already commenced, in .
this Senatorial District, and only needs the :
fosteringcare of our citizens to be an orna-
merit to and a blessing to the community.—
But it mustbe sustained by the freewill of-
ferings of the people or it will prove a failure.

they would be held as soon as practicable.
He admonishes the Texans to dispel the dc.-

them it is effectually dead, and that if they
fail to treat the negro as less than a freeman
their representatives will in vain seek admis-,

re-appoint the county ofilcers who acted un-

EDUCATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA— Rev._
'E. J. Adams, in a letter published in the A-

public works but three could write their
names, while of 140 blacks laboring at the
same time and place 62 could sign their
names.” We commend this fact to 'those
who assign the ignorance of the emancipat-
ed blacks as a reason for denying them the
right of suffrage, while they make no such.
objection in regard to ignorant white men.
If ignorance is a sufilcient reason for exclud-
