The War in Knrope. b
We give a general summary of tha week'* t]
new* from Europe, aa to the war between ^
Franco and Prussia. Aa yet no great bat- Q
tie has oeeurred, and avan some bopea are C|
entertained that the storm may blow over jj
without much l>lood?he<l. but the general ..
opinion is that thers will b? a terrific slrug- t)
gle. .,j <: <, U;:. . . p
July 19. Telegrams report that Earl y
Granville, ttie British Secretary of Slate, gj
had a three hours' conlereoce with N a polk- ron
; result not known. King William made e,
a speech to a great crowd in Berlin, and
eaid he was not responsible for the war.?
Frusela has been epoiled by great victories>
possibly a reverse might new oome, but he* S
hoped for snecess, relying on a good army 8
and people. The result was in God's hands ^
July 20. The French Senate waited In a 2
body on the*Emperor, assuring him cnconr- h
ngenient and support?President Rouui *
speaking for the body. The Emperor n
warmly thanked the Seoate. e
July 21. Turkey seems to be uneasy? u
has ealled out iter reserve forces and stop- o<
ped the telegrapii in all directions. Tur? pi
key baa declared for absolute neutrality.? oi
Austria la for neutrality. The Prussians P<
have fhnk old hulks in the mouth of th? 01
river Weeer, to prevent the entrance of pi
French ships. v;
July 22. A correspondent of the London ni
Timet was arretted at a spy at Met*, but ju
vu released end expelled from the French y<
lines. TW French Emperor ie reported ill sj
at St. Cloud, and would not join the artny
for tome days. __ "
July 23. There is a report that Russia
had declared war against Frunee?not con* ^
firmed. Two hundred French soldiers re- P
connoitcripg were captured by the Pius P
eians. Prussia is prepsiing vigorously for
the war, and has put hor whole army in *
motion. Martial law has been proclaimed P
in the Rhenish provinces. The French Em- ''
peror came to Paris on the 28d, and receiv* ^
ed the legislative assembly at the Ttifilerhs. f
An ffdnllMnan inaf ritlnrnott i n f
London from ft trip on the Rhine, describes '
in the 7fmea the difference in the temper '
and manners of the French and Prussian ar *
miet He says the German army is quiet( 1
grave.- anxipua and resolute. On the other '
hand,?the French are yelliog, drinking* (
swaggering, and literally " spoiling for a
fight." The various men ara apt to get the
beat of a fight in the winding up. J
The Emperor of Franco issued a proclama- (
tion to Frenchmen, on the 23d, in which ha
trios to throw the blame of the war on Prua- ?
sia. t
July 24. It was officially announced, thai t
Russia would be neutral, so long as her interests
do 'not suffer. On the 26th, a body of
Prusaians crossed the frontier and had some s
sharp aktnnisBing with the French. The lat- r
tor retired from the field, loaving ten killed
and wounded. This action, it ie said, proved f
that the Prussian needle gun la superior to the e
French chassepot, Bescrters from the Freneh
army ere vory numerous, end were continually
coming within the Prussian lines. The
London Timet states, that a projected treaty
has been enbmittod by France to Prussia. It ?
asks the consent and aid of Prussia for Freneh
acquisition of Luxemburg and Belgium? D
France admitting and recognising tho late s
acquisitions of Prussia. Suoh a treaty would
hardly be accepted by Prussia, or tolerated ,

Sow Turnip*. 0
We suppose every farmer will cultivate a I
turnip patch, but we fear that few will ap- ]
precist? the importance of enlarging this o
crop, and making an effort to have enongh i
to aid in feeding stock, and aorne to sell.? t
In the probable high price of com and ev? 4
ery thing else that is to feed with, a large
turnip crop would be of great value to every
one that cultivates It. In the " dry
year " of 1846, when the upland corn in al) a
the middle and npper part of this Slate was ?
almost an entire failure, the alarm produced
was so great that turnips were resorted
to, and proved a great success. Ilogs were
partly fattened oo them, and cattle were
fed with them a good part of the winter ; .
in fact, without turnips that year thousands
of stock would have perished all over the
country.
Most persons in this part of ths world are
not aware of the immense value of the turnip
when eatensively and properly cultivated.
In England, the single county of
Norfolk produces a turnip crop estimated
to be worth seventy-five millions of dollars |

perhaps, than Greenville, producing a crap

There ia no crop, perhaps, in which the ]

two hundred pounds to tha acre on tolera

nip* in a favorable year, wliieb would be '
worth Mora than three tinea a crop of '
wheat from the same amount of manure.? 1
Now la the tine to ba preparing land for
turnipa, by frequent nad thorough plough,
ing and pulverising ilia ground. August is ^
a good month to sew; about tha tenth is a (
favorite time with some experienced farm- ,
ors in this seetion ; bat a little sooner or (
later will do well?better sow in the last i
day. of the month, or early in Sep- 1
t em her, than to fail entirely. Rutabagas
ought to be towed in July. As te varieties
every farmer can suit himself. Seed saved
from fine, large turnips, ought to he need.? !

Death by Lightning. 1
Wc are pained to learn that Jont? Rums t
mtkr, Jr., third eon of Mr. J. R. Rmtss,
r , was struck dead by lightning, on
Wednesday evening last, 20th Inst, about
o'olock, during a severe thunder storm, at I
ia home, 12 miles below Greenville. He <
res killed outright, bruising him very *
)uch, and setting fire to his clothing. An (
lder brother was slightly affected, who 1
raa standing some fifteen yard* from de- 1
reaed. Hie flesh wee much torg and is 1
laces crisped up, and bis brother, on rnn
ng ap to him, said that a stream of fire
>ured out of his moutli. The body of the j
ifortunste young man was immediately j,
laced in wnter in order to endeavor to re
ive liim, but all to no purpose. A horse J
)t far distant war also very slightly in. I
red. The deceaeod was only about 14 t<
pars of age, and was a promising lad. We *
rmpalhlze with his family. *
udge Carpenter and General Butler
As we informed onr readeia last week, ;
udge Oaupkmtkb having changed his np- ^
ointment for Greenville, will address the
eople on Friday, 29th Inst, at thTs place.
Gen. M. C. Butlkr, who is also a fine
pester, will be present likewise. We are (
leased to see that Congress has removed ,
iia disabilities by a two-thirda vote. This
oet not look, by any means, as if the reinblicans
and the President in Waeliiogton
elt any oppoeilion to the Union and Rcorm
party in this State. They knew, beore
voting on the bill, the position of Gen,
3uti.kb as a candidate of that party, and
he Republican Congress have voted to
pialify him to hold tbo office of Lieutenant3overnor,
if elected.
Telegraph to AbbevilleWe
learn from the Abbeville Prett and
'ianner that the contract for furnishing poets
or a Telegraph line to that place, has been
;iven out, and the people there expect soon
o be in telegraphic communication with
he outside world.
We wish it were In onr power to make a
irailar report fcr Greenville; but if our
leighbors have a live constructed to their
ilace, it cannot lie long before it is extend?
d here, therefore we keep in good heart.
Judge W. II. Campbell,
The Abbeville Prett and Jtantttr, which

"After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Boyce, the
inniversary Address before the Amelian Lit*
rary Society was delivered by Col. Win. H.
Campbell, of Greenville. The address was an
labornto discourse upon ' the Philosophy of
listory,' finding its true solution in tho Biblo.
>t was a scholarly production, equally worthy
-f the bead and heart of the orator?abound*
ng in striking thought, and graceful, well*
urncd periods?delivered with clear artitula*
ion and pleasant intonations."

Wo have received from (he above gentleman

baa made in behalf of the appropriation
or the construction of a United Statea Cjurt
louae building at thia place, and although he
aa dot been ahlo to get through what be de- j
Ired, yet wo have not the leaat doubt but that y

We regard the approaching election for r

Lion of a former Council. Wo would, therefore,
nrge erery oitlsen to attend the public *

For the Greenville Euterprlst
Jfestrt. Editor$?I am gratified to leal
that it is proposed to bold a meeting of l)
citizens of thla City on Saturday next, SOI
| inst, at 6 o'clock P. M., for the purpose i
DoiiM?iviu| ? ucict iu u? Tuieu tor ai n
ensuing election for Mayor and Aldermei
It is certainly of more consequence to a
the citizens of the City now, than at at
previous, election of town officers, or pe
heps than any one that may occur for
long time to come ; that great care and pn
dence should be exercised in the eclectic
of prr.per persons for tho^e offices. The
. should be gentlemen of matured judgmen
business experience, and of high oharaote
Many important matters are expected I
arise, which they wilt be required to a<
upon during their terra, which may an
eeita;nly will affect the interest of each oil
izen. and the general prosperity of the City
and it is of the utmost importance that a'
the wisdom and judgment that can b
brought to bear, should bo exercised in dli
posing of them. Among others, it may b
mentioned, that the present Council hum
by resolution, obligated the City to sal
scribe a considerable sum to the capita
stock of the Air Line Railroad. The unan
moos vote of the citizens of the City, rat
fying a similar subacription made by th
County, indicates their hearty approval <
the City subscription. The money for III]
subscription will have to be raised as it I
called for, from the sale of the City bond
The next Council will be charged with th
preparation and placing of these bonds i

they will command the highest posaibl
( rice. and must be dona with greal caulio
and prudence. A mistake in lite beginnin
might be fatal to success; th*n there ar
manj' matters connected with the locatloi
and constrnotion Of the road through th
City, about which they will be consulted
and from their position ae the represents
Lives of the people will necessarily exercls
n oommaoding influence.
It is hoped that the bulling of the Air-Lin
Railroad through the Qlty, giving ns dircc
communication east and west, and other rail
road connections and extensions?which it !
expected will he mado from the City?togett
cr with the natural inclination recently man
festcd by persons at a distance te movo an
settle here on-account ?f tbc climate and oti
cr attractions, that the gaowth of iho Cil
will bo much more rapid in future than at an
previous time.' Then, on ' this account, tt
greatest care and judgment should be exe1
cised in all the public improvements, loci
tion of new streets, Ac.; so that tlicy mi
l>e commenced right, looking to their futn
bearing and influence upon tbo City at it uu
grow and extend its limit* ; so that trade mi
bo accommodated and encouraged and tl
City beautified ; and in tho exorcise of th
duty, a due regard should atao be had to the
influences upon the property of all the cititcn
each location being protected aa Tar as poas
bin. Tho policy of the City governmer
should also be to preserve the best order I
I the least inconvenience to tho people; nr
perhaps the most desirable of all, is, that tl
city should bo governed with tho vrcate
I economy that can possibly be exercised wil
, prudence, nnd that the taxes be reduced to tl
' lowest possible rite. This is the snore nece
sary in consequence of the amount that w
I havo to be raised to pay the interest on tl
, subscription to the Air-Lion Railroad. ]
order to accomplish these results, tho olecth
of the class of persons indicated, is indispens
blc. They must bo intelligent; they mu
have experience, and they must be gcntlciu)
of high character,
i A ticket should bo agreed npon nt an ear
[ day, composed of gcntlemon possessing tbej
qualifications, and which, as near as possibl
meets the views of the voters. Already
i havo noticed two tickets proposed, and befoi
the election there may, and probably wou
be, many moro, if the above course ris n
adopted. The writer has no objection to ar
gentleman whoso name appears upon tl
tickets he has seen; but as there will likely I
many more before tho election, in order
securo the result indicated, and tho election
i a Council composed of Much gentlemen onl
as the circumstances roqulro, I think tl
meeting proposed is the best, and perha]:
only plan of attaining that result, by oonce:
trating upon ono ticket.
Let all tho eititens attend the meeting
i!iicn on# I* ueopiy interested?and let a tick
bo nominated, whieb, M near as can be, rim
the views or all, and lot it alone be voted.

the art of making vegetable extracts was unknown.
The herbal medicines were mere tensions.
It was reserved for a latter age to suite the
