V. pebry. j [continued prom last week.] william l. yancey". i William L. Yancey was, for several years, a citizen of Greenville, I lived here, married here, and ownJ ed the farm where William Hates now lives- He was the son of Benjamin Yancey, who stood for many years at the hend o* tho bar ' In the upper part of Sonth CAPolina. lie was a native of Maryland, and the protege of Robert Good loo Harper. He first entered the navy, and then rend law, and settled at Abbeville Court House. He married the daughter '<-1 Ool. Byrd. of' Georgia, who had removed there from Virginia. Benjamin j mice)' was cicctoa n uietnuor or tho Legislature from Ablieville, ' and took a very high position in that Ixxly. Although very young,' lie catno within a few votes of being elected a judge of the Stnte.? His talents, eloquence and high t character induced Judge linger, who was then a member of the II0116Q and practicing law in Charleston, to offer him a partner ship which he accepted una moved to Charleston. Judge 1 Inner wua very much attached to him,and had a very high opinion of hU talents and ability. Many years after the death of Benjamin Yancey, Judge linger was holding court at Abbe-, ville, and asked me to take a walk with him. We came to a little brick office, then occupied by.Gov ernor Noble and Judge Wardluw. Judge linger sjuppcu and looked at it with gVeat interest and said to mo, "That was the office of my lamented friehd and partner," Ben jamin Yancey, before Ins removal to Charleston." He then spoke in most affectionate terms of hitn.and gave me an account ot his mooting _iiiin in the Legislature, and how much l.c was impressed with him. , Not many years after his removal to Charleston, Mr. Yancey died on his way to Abbeville court, to attend to a great iand ease, which was then ready for trial.? 1 have heard Chancellor Thompson an-4 many others, who were cotemporarios ot Yancy, speak in mo?t extravagant terms of his elforts at the liar and in tbo Legislature. Somo years after tfio death of | Mr. 13eiija,mun Yan<ey bis widow married thcltevcf^nd Mr.Uceinftn, a distinguished Presbyterian minister from the North, who was then living in Washington, Georgia.? lie returned to the North arid car, ried with him his wile and his stepchildren. William L. Yancey was there educated, till he was seven icon or eighteen years old, when , lie returned to South Carolina to ' make his permanent home, though Georgia lias the honor ot being his ; birth place. This genth man is justly eotitled to tbo distinction, 110 fnatter in ' what light that distinction may be 1 viewed by the world, ol having i brbken tip, for a brief period, the American Union, and involved the 1 country in a great sect tonal war, > which cost tho sacrifice of one million of hwnati lives, the desolation ) ot tbo Southern States, their loss of civil liberty, and the establishment of a military despotism! There 1 may have been others who labored I I . ivufevi mm iuurc cueciuuity u> pre? pard the public mind for this ter( rible result, but to -William Lowndes Yancey is due tho awtul responsibility of bavin* applied A the match which produced this t bloody explosion ! lie concocted * lie Alabama Resolutions whieh broke tip the Charleston Donwcratic Convention, and severed into tactions the p eal Democratic Partv rA' ?!,?.

He traa full of gen u? I- and talent, aud endowed with high gift* of oratory, lu disposition ho was kind and affectionate, war.n and generous, and devoted to his friends. Ilo was a very liandsotne yonng man, with a bright, cheerful face, ever inspiring confidence and good feeling. iTe was rather under ordinary height and well pro, portioned, with great activity and strength. His manners were not only pleasing and polished, bat really faecinating, and no one could be in company with him wtthont feeling ltindly towards him ; but with all his talents, attractions and brilliancy, he was not a man of wisdom, or jndg* meat, or stability of character, lie bad strong feelings and impulses which generally controlled bis notion and judgment. He was a man ot high spirit and dauntless courage. 11 is impulses and bis passion Involved him in a great many difficulties of a rery serious character. I remember, on one 1 occasion, whilst he was reading law with ine, having to rush be twecri him and Thomas F. Gantt to prevent tl eir firing on each other. They had commenced a political discussion, which did not continue long before they drew their pistols, and but for the interference of myeelt ni.d others, would have exchanged shots in the street 1 In a quarrel with Dr. Earle, the uncle of his wile, he drew his pistol and 6hot hitn. The doctor died in a few hours. Van cey was tried and convicted of manslaughter. In tbi- afiair, howovcr, he did what tew men ot spirit might not have done, under the circumstances. The day previous, he hud had a difficulty wfth Dr. Earlo'6 son, who was quite a lad. Yaucev sought the doctor, and explain ed to him the difficulty with his son, who seeined to bo perfectly satisfied. The next day ho was in quiring for Yancey with a bludgeon in bis hands. Yancey wont up to hiiu in perfect good humor and anticipated no difficulty. He gave Yancey the lie and dicw his stick. Immediately, Yaucey drew iiis pistol, and presenting it, told tho doctor to " take it back or tuke a 6liot." Dr. Earle rubbed towards him and Yancey's pistol tired 1? But 1 aticey assured me, coitidentially, tliul it wa6 not his purpose to fire the pistol, and that be did firo it involuntarily under the excitement. lie afterwards made utiidavit to this fact, and 1 have never lor a moment doubted the truth of tho assertion. lie was defended by Judge Wardlaw, Mr. Burt and myself. IIis sentence was fine and imprisonment, which Governor Noble pardoned in a lew weeks. Whilst in Greenville, Mr. Yancey was editing a Union newspaper und reading law. lie was then a very strong Union man, and dealt out to the nullifiers and secessionists some terrible blows, for their disunion proclivities. Lit tie did 1 then think that he was destined to blow up the Union himself, in tho courso of a few j cars I llow hard it is to anticipate tho future in politics. He wrote with great vigor, and held a bold, dashing neu. Alter his mairiago to Miss Kails, he moved so Alabama, and was there some time occupied in editing a newspaper. li# was soon elected to the legislature, tailed in planting, und commenced the profession of law. In a tew years, he was elected a member ot Congress, and (ought a duel with Ueueial Uliugman, pretty boom after taking hiseeut in tbe House if Kepresentati%es. lie made a speech, too, about the same time, which attracted great public attention. Iti two or three years, ho resigned his Beat in Congress, joined tbe cbnrcb aud resumed bis profession. 1 bo spirit of abolitionism was growing at the North, and disunionism ripening at the South.? Yancey was one of those fiery spirits who could not witness au ex citement without enlisting on one ido or tho other: and, having once girded on liia sword, be plunged in for tl?e war. lie canvassed Alabama, and went North to make st>eccbcs. He was thoroughly imbued with a revolutionary feeling, and^boastcd that the Cotton Stutcs would bo precipitated into war with the Nurth. lie was sent as a commissioner to Europe in tho early history ot tho Confederacy, and returned with out accomplishing anything. Ho was then elected Coulcdorute Senator from Alabama, and died before tho closo of the war. lu tho Uonlederuco donate no was a vory proxniueu? member ; took an activo , and able part in all tlio discussions of that body, but Lis judgment and opinion* were out appreciated vory biably. 1'ho course pursued by Mr. Yau coy in tho Democratic Convention alienated uie from bim in some measure, end wl.cn ho visited ' Qreenvillo during tlio war, I svad glad not to havo met him. The meeting would havo heon unplens ant to me, find, perhaps, also to him. lie died a young man. [CONTINUED NEXT WEEK ] , Beautiful Ireland. We know of couiec, that Ireland ie called the 44 Emerald Isle," and the color of the emerald is green, but never had it entered into our imagination that there were anywhere in 'his world to be seen such verdure as it charmed our eyes to look upon in the rural districts of Ireland. The slopes, the knolls, the dells, fields of young grain, over which lite breezes cie-.*p hko (.lawful epiiita of the beautiful ; the pastures dotted over with sheep of the purest wool ; the hillsides, rising up into mist shrouded mountains, are all covered with thick carpets of smooth, velvet green. But Ire land should also be called Flowery Isle. There is not a spot in Ireland. I lielieve, where blessed nature can find no excuse fur put~ ting a flower but sho has put one ?not only in-the gardens and in the meadows, but upon the very walls and the crags of the sea, from tho great blooming rhododendrons, down to the smallest floweret that moderately peeps forth from its grassy cover.? The Irish furze, so richly yellow, covers all places that might other wise bo barren, the silk-worm do lights everywhere, from thousands of trees, to drop, its " web of gold tho blooming hawthorn with the sweet-scented pink and eoftccially tl.o white variety, adorns the landscape and the gardens ; wall flowers of every hue and variety, cluml>er to hide the harshness of the mitral supports : the beetled cliffs of tho North sea are fringed and softened with lovely flowers; and it you keel unv where almost on tho yielding, velvety carpet you will find little, well nigh invisible flowerets, red, white, blue and yellow, wrought into tho very woof and texture. Ireland ought to be called the Beautiful Isle. Tho spirit of the beautiful hovers over and touches to living loveliness every point. [Pall Mall Gazelle. Anvils. In a deserted simp in Pitteficld, Massachusetts, there rests on its blo'ck an anvil that lias tiono duty for more than three hundred years. It is as sound to dnv as it was when in 1G33, when Eltwecd Pomeroy, after welding tor the Stuarts tho pottnderous horseshoes of the same style and pattern that his ancestors had mudo during generations for tho Tudors and Plantagenets. grew weary of taxes without wages, and anvil in hand sailed for tho new world. A dcf. workman, lie throve in rho settle mcnis, and left his anvil as an heirloom to his descendants.? They shew you in the Tower of London the anvil on which the sword was forged Richard Cwur de Lion used ill his contest with Saladin, and at tho collection ot Pompeian excavations in Naples there is an anvil, certainly older than the Christian centuries, which, of precisely the same sltapo we UF4, had certainly done service for stalwart workmen of tnany generations before the city was buried. But better still, in the Egyptain room of the British Museum, there is a veritable anvil of the Pharaohs. It is older than Rome, older than Greece, oldor than Jerusalem ; as old as tho days of Abraham, and I probably in oxistenco when the I patriarch, 14 was come into Egypt j ana tho Egyplains beheld Sunii | that she wa* vary fair."

The cash customer insure to l?e better and more promptly sow ed, and to get a better article?t a more reasonable price than the 1 8iuw paymaster. The reason is easily seen ; the merchant or iuc~ clinnie can use 1 lie money thus paid several limes, making a profit each time; bnt when paid once a year, tlm-re can only be 0110 profit in a y< ar. Ready money is also convenient when there is a chance to buy any stock," or other properly needed on tho farm, at a low rate. Much is lost in buying at the wl-ohg tiiuo, paying b'gh prices to obtain credit, and by other difficulties that want ot funds brings a fanner into. Plenty of available funds are also needed to enable the farmer to.sell to the best advantage. No 6mall si.arc of the profits that should l>c realized by many farmers is lost because they are obliged to sell at the wrong time. Every tanner should haye money to use so that he may nut be forced to sell ut very low rates, whon it is evident that by waiting a better price may be obtained Music at HomoMuf?ic serves to make homo pleasant, by engaging many of its inmates in a delightful recreation.
