The Slass Meeting. -
The great Mass Meeting held in this place
on Saturday last, did not accomplish the ob-
jrct for wh.iv.-h it assembled, it we under
hand concert of actioo, peace and harmony.
The meeting was called br the Commii8
eioners of the Coonty for the purpose of ta
king s.ction en a proposition contained in
the toijawinji resolution, wljicb passed at a
meeting held m this place on the 16ih nil :
That the Commissioners of this county be
requested to offer a bounty of twenty -five,
dollars to be paid out of the County Treas
ury to each and every person enlisting in
the http Company, ta be raised in this coon
ty, under the late requisition, and that a
committee of three be appointed to wait
vpon the Commissioners for this purpose."
Thus it will be seen that the meeting was
called for the purpose of taking into con
fiderst'.ioo the raiding or paying of a bounty
to Ins nev lompmy under the first call. - But
it s" happened that two companies were
raised on that cull; whether they have both
been accepted on the first call, we are un
informed, tut 'think not. This being the
f-tae of affairs, bosh companies looked for !
. '
and claimed a boorrty, more particularly on I
... '
accent of its hav.ng been promised them, j
in u:n goon laun, ana tney Having enlisted
with that understanding. When the Com
iniiorjers gae their attention to more
'thin ore company, they placed themselves
i i such a condition that- they were in ail
justice obliged tj recognize every volunteer,
who has left t!il county, as equally entitled
to a bounty. As we said- before th real
object of the meeting was to agree upon
fotne bounty for the new cnmpiny which was
about being formed when the above reso
lution was adopted. Had this meeting been
confined to the re 'I object, tbe result would
bavf! teen different, and all passed off with
mnrf harmony and concert of action. The
proposition made by the Commissioners,
whea we take into consideration the pay
ing of all the volunieers Irom this county an !
equal sum oo of the bounty, was, in its
:rnoant, (55;CC0) entirely too small, accord- !
ing to our judgment. -There are, to e'ay,
about 670 volunteers in the army from this
county; and another company forming,
wr 'rch wifl soon be ready io leave. We
havi' uo dfsobtbut what the Commissioners
wen; v. ell meaning in their proposition,
I oth as to the amount and tbe manner by
which they stood ready to appropriate it. -As

pioo sM to appropriate money in this way

tmo!ed hereon Satnrday, said . the county
Commissioners were justifiable, and would
be upheld in making such an appropriation,

ihey proposed to make it, they would - be

tice that other cooniies have appropriated
rnH ej to volunteers as a bounty, but if
ney nave tione wrong, acted without au
ihoiity, that ii not the tightest reason we
-hould i'o the same. Berks coanty has

Who ore Exempt ?
.The question of who are and . who are
rot sut j-ct to a draft is bejng so freely dis
cosed by those persons who are not famil

think that because they are members of the
Fir Department, or have served seven
years as fireman, they would escape con

claim every abled bodied male person be

The Committee having retired Prof Wm.

The Committee returned and reported the

meeting to which call he respucded in a
Tery patriotic speech, approving the objects
of the mJjiog, endorsins its action, a-d de
claring himself in favor of a vigorous pros
ecution of the War. , At the conclusion of
his speech a Jarge delegation from -Light

Thirty Four young ladies, representing the
34 States of the Union, each lady bearing a
flag. This created quite a sensation. On
entering tbe Court House and order being
again restored, the Committee waiting upon
the Commissioners reported that those dig
nified officials had received them TPry cava
lierly, that they paid no attention to the res
olutions adopted ly this meeting, lut in
stead sent up their proposition which was as
fjllows :
It is suggested by the Commissioners of

ceeding Five Thousand Dullara from he
county fund be given to the Volunteers from
this county, that they can appropriate frcin
the said fund, legally, only in one of two
ways: First, that they be indemnified by
Responsible party or parties, in a bond, that
in case the Legislature d not legalize the
appropriation, the money shall be refunded
to the county. Second: That the money
this meeting shall resolve upon giving, be
placed in tbe hands, and under the control,
of the B-iard of Kelief.'to be equitably ap
portioned by them among the lam Hies and
nearest of kin of the Volunteers who were
citizens of the county at the time of volun
teering and who have joined companies or
parts of companies going from the county.
And resolved further, that the above action
and sum of money proposed to be appropri
ated from the public funds of the County ol
Columbia is done with the view of encour
eging enlistments by volunteering to serve
in the army of our Government and when
cur county's quota is full in all requisitions
that we shall be exempt from a Draft.

have a salutary effect if it be cheerfully a id

rescue of those interests that are dealer

Mr Editok: On Tuesday of the 5th inst.,

his time in the vicinity of MifSin villa, Co

and closing the Well from his feet upwards,
to within four feet of the surface of the
ground, and at the same time leavins an
open space of ten or twelve feet from his
feet to the bottom of the Well.
The accident occurred about two o'c'ock,

It is freed in the mind df every working
man in ifiia country, how; in, I860, they
were told by Republican orators, that they
were the peculiar and only friends of the
workingman. They remember how "they
were foretold of a period of unheard of pros
PentV. Of Deaca anil n!nlr. which in
j . - . r "
! result a8 a necessary consequence of the
t e,ec,n of Abraham Lincoln to the Presi-
dency. Nor is it forgotten that when the
direful times that are upon us at present,
were told by Democrats, how they were
held up by ridicule and scorn, as attempting
by false statement to operate on the fears
of the ppople. With what virtuous indig
nation did they deny the charge brought
against.them, that theironly object was the
negro, and' that in schemes of fanciful phi
lanthrophy for his benefit, they would sac
rifice not only the in'erests of the working
men f ihe country, but the country itself.
Did ihe Republicans in i860 tell one
single truth ? Did ihey show any political
foresight whatever ? The history of the
times affords the rpply. They have not
only fhnmefnlly betrayed the people in the
rast, but apparently not ealisfied with hav
ing brought upon the country a roost deso
lating war in the Snnth, it would appear as
if ihey desired to breed destruction in the
Nor h.
Under the policy inaugurated by them
the country i being flooded with negroes,
who in mp.ny places woncing at the rate of
twenty-five cents per day, are driving the
free white laboring men out of employment.
More than this by continual laudations of
negroes, the niggers themselves in many
places are crowing arrogant, impertinent,
and insulting to while men, and white wo
men. This has induced riots in Cincinnati,
Toledo and lately a very serious riot in
Brooklyn.
Not only has the Republican parly in
augurated a policy that has produced thee
results, but they are" now erdeavoring by
orsanizi--g the negroes into secret societies,
to put them in such a position as to contin
ue their arrogant and insulting behavior to
ward white women and white men, and by
armed lorce, to place themselves in ruin
on? competition with the free white laborer
of the North. The Washington "Star" of

As to the Republican p.irty whether they j
! nomina'e a candidate of iheir own semi
j pers says, "upon an offer being made to
the President, by two Abolition United
; States Senators, of I wo tie'ro regiments on
Monday, he flallyand unequivocally refused
to receive them. The Pres 'dent did nol ap-

It is ihe bonnden duty of every man lo
'discourage lawlessness of every kind.
When we see mobs in our streets, we bein
to apprehend the danger which may pio
ceed from disrespect to law. When we
theorize abont the country am! the govern
ment, we do not appreciate the persona!
relations which every man and every fam
ily sustains to the Constitution and the
staiues which are under it, the law of the
land. Nor when mobs act in great excite
ments in favor of the views which rash
men may entertain, do they often forsee
the time which may come as the very con
sequence of lhat lawlessness, when mobs
may make havoc of their own interests.
There are not a few who in ..reasonina
about the Constitution and the laws adopi
the theory that a great wrong, like the
Southern rebellion, justifies an abandon
ment of Constitution and law for its sap
pression. The theory is plausible, and it
leads some men to the extent of calling any
man a traitor who pleads the Constitution
as a reason against any efforts or measures
lo put down gigantic evil. But the same 1
Irom the employment ol negroes, as from
the ondrct of negroes and their political
friends. Thus (ar we see no evidence that
ihey have been in any instance instigated
by special political intrigue or management,
but they have apparently growu out of the
fact that a portion of the colored population
hol.l their hoads much higher than hereto
fore, and claim not only equality but some
times a degree of superiori y which lead
to unpleasant feeling and colli.-ons In
fact, the colored men elbow their way with
considerab l ronahness toward the equality
which is claimed for them by noisy politi
cians. The mehoJa ol avoiding these collisions
in the future are two. In the first place,
the laws mnst be carefully and thoroughly
administered. The black man, as the de
pendent race, entitled to protection, mui
be protected against every tyranny of indi
viduals, and especially against the mob
spirit which grows out of radicalism In
the second place, the friends of the black
man should avoid all encouragement to
ward the idea of equality. and should epec
ially inculcate the doctrine of the old West
minister Cah-chism, once the favoriie doc
trine ol
New England, which councelled
the pre-ervation ol the "places and relarons
belonging to all men as superiors inferior
and equals." It is no kindness to the col
ored race :o teach ihem the doctrnes of
