Errata.
In the "list of tho magistrates of the district"
published in our first number, Samuel Lancaster's
name should have occupied the place of
Win. Thorn's. There may bo other errors iu
this list, the copy used being an old one. As
Boon as we arc able to procure a correct copy we
will publish it.
Something New.
Mr. W. D. Milsteb lias presented us with
a specimen of tho tin milk pitchers, which he
gets up very handsomely. The pkin is a good
one, nnd worth something more weighty than
a 4,putf." Persons who will call at Mr. Mil
iter's will see specimens, nnd will certainly
be more favorably impressed with its convenience
than would bo possible from anything we
conld cay of it. Whon you call around, prepare
yourselves with the change. You will
buy.
Conflagration.
Wo are sorry to Lear that thodwel'ing house
of Capt. A. Copklvn?, iu the upper part oi
this district, was destroyed by fire on Thursday
night last. The origin of the fire is supposed
to hare been from a spark dropped from
a torch in the hands of a servant. The Haines
spread so rapidly that none of the household
furniture was saved.
We have received, through the kindness of
the Charleston Xews, the "Commercial Circular
and Prices Current," published in that office.
It is very neatly gotten up, and replete with
commercial information.
We are indebted to Mr. Jambs McMakis for
Northern papers ot a late uate?tnc . ?? oria
and Newt. In tlio latter we see a report of n
speech made by Lloyd Garrison, of the lloston
Liberator, on the " present condition of the
country." Garrison is notoriously known a:
the editor of the most uuscrupclous abolition
sheet in all the North. lie took for his text,
"The North victorious," in contradistinction
from Wendell Thillips?"the South victorious.'
The speech is not given in full, but all whe
have seen and know the character of the man
and his contemptible paper will have a vcrj
crrrect conception of the tone an l character ol
his remarks. For instance, he would sny " Jf>0,
000 of reputed beasts have been created men,'
and "that Colossus of traitors, Jcfl'crson Davis
will be hanged, and that tho gallows ought tc
bo abolished if he is not*" This is the styh
of tho craxicst of all the negro worshippers o:
the North. Ilis principle remarks were of tin
most Radical vituperation of President John
son, denouncing him most bitterly and indecently,
urging the North to fight until she i;
victorious in behalf of the " negro equality
with the white man." lie also declared it at
his belief that it was the President's intenlior
to compel Congress, by force of arms to adniii
the Southern Representatives, or disperse th<
body. We wonder if any body else thinks so
What a specimen of the mau(?)kiud.

Rev. Joseph II CotlrcllWe
aro pleased to see in the Southern Chrii
tian Advocate an article from his pen on vnriou:
matters of interest. To this excellent papci
he is an occasional contributor, and by indcpendenoe
of thought and boldness of expression,
never fails to delight and instruct. Iii:

reading of his writings stirs up sweet memories
of the past, and biings up before the ?y<
those scenes and incidents of our earliest youth
Mb. CoTTKEUi is now one of the ablest tint
most popular ministers of the Alabama Confer
ence, and has been appointed to several of th<
most important stations in that State. \V<
hope that his future may eclipse the succcsi
and brilliancy of his past life. lJelow we ex
tract that part of his letter to the Advocate re
ferring to Rev. W. A. McSwain, one of tin
late gifted and most useful ministers of tin
State, who all of our people knew and loved:
Rev. W. A. McSwain of the South Carolinr
Conference, was iny pastor and friend in tlx
city of Charleston. Many long hours have ]
enjoyed his most genial society at the parson

In my boyhood, I witnessed the burial of thai
prince of Methodist preachers, Miilcom Me
i'lie.-aon. I hoard lilackwcll, of the Memphh
Conference, talk of the stirrings of soul he fell
as ho sat by his death bed. "Work, work,
work !" was the sermon that sounded in hit
ears. " As our brethren fall, let us rcdoublo out
diligence. Itest will come after awhile. From
the tripod?the saddle?the study?the lecture
room, we'll all go, and that, very soon."
Tiie Decline in I'bices.?The Northern papers
continue to report a decline in the price!
of nearly all kinds of goods. This decline is
simultaneous with the fall of the premium on
gold. On the 6th instant, gold was at 32}.
Cotton is also meeting with a declino. The
bonded warehouses in New York and other
Northern cities are represented to bo packed

WRITTEN PCIISVaNT TO ORUER OF MORGAN LODOI
NO. 19, 1. O. O. F., AMD RESOLVED TO BK PUBLISHED
in 41 The Carolina Ffartan
The departure of our loved ones, tho funeral
cortege and the solemn obituary, have become
mutters of such frequent occurrence in
our country that wo pay uo more than a passing
thought to their appearance. The imprcs- 1
siou is but superficial and mouicutary. Yet
there are those whose loss is too deeply felt?
whose absence too sadly experienced to be
passed over so negligently, nud our little circle
has indeed suffered such a loss in the decease
of our late brethren, Wm. II. Trimmiku,
Michael E. Miller and Edcar A. KalK.
Urol her Tiiimmik.u was admitted u member
of our Lodge on the 9th day of February, lBoo.
Hero his active and energetic mind at once
foutHl material to interest ami work upou. Of
him we cab safely Bay, "Ilia efforts added
uiore to tlie increase of our Lodge than of any
other member." At our mcctiugs his friendly
couusel and fraternal love displayed itself more
than anywhero else, lie filled the respective
chairs, and while N. G. (a chair which he filled
a long time) he was seldom absent. His genial
smile threw o'er that position an unusually
happy effect. His death was unexpected, and
to all a scvcro and chilling stroke. On the
14th July, 1805, his spirit took its upward
llight.
' Brother Mii.lkii was initiated into our onhr
on the 11th of August, 186'.), ntul died on the
'20th day of August, 1805. lie filled the scval
positions and grades of our order, at the
time of his death being a Past Grande. Deli
I cnte in his nhvsieal ennui it ut inn the min.1
[ active, often conceiving more than the body
coulil effect, yet his good works arc seen and
felt l>y many. As a social companion, he excelled
; iu integrity, lie was a pattern. Like
the early spring blossom, he bloomed too soon,
and the frosty hand of death removed him from
1 us while yet young.
Brother Falk was initiated in our Lodge on
. the '2d day of August, 1801, and dwelt with us
, until the ? December, Ibtlo, when he removed
to the Lodge on high. Like brother Mili.rb,
his physical formation was of delicate structure,
but with a mind rich in mental culture.
>
( A native of Germany, he inherited the peculiar
^ love for music, which is characteristic of all
her sons Leading for years tho European
| Opera, he gradually became what might be
, called a "mass of music." He occupied tho
position of musical professor in the Female
College in this village. The unbounded success
of his pupils in the various concerts con
j. ncctcd with that institution, bore full evidence
of lii.s proficiency as a teacher, ami (lie refining
' influences of that beautiful study were discovered
in his ordinary life. We knew him as a
1 friend?tried him as a brot/nr, and found hira
(rue.
' Our task, mournful as it is, yet is one, the
execution of which pictures sweet reminiscences
of the past, and in it we find much to gratify
andplen.se. Wc eulogize brethren, upon
the escutcheon of whose fair fame shines the
untarnished gold of integrity. Were
written, they have left a lasting obituary behind
them. The Political, Industrial and In(
tcllcclual lone of our District bears deep impress
of a Trimmier's miml and FRIENDSHIP.
The social and fraternal circle bear fond evidence
of a Mti.t.r.ti's genial LOVE, nud the
musical world, not only of this but other sections,
8tl to day in spell-bound admiration
pleased auditors if tones, tltc spontaneous
, effusion of a Falk'h inlcllect, delineated as
p they arc with artistic TllUTH.
"Weep not for those
Who sink within the arms of death,
Ero yet the chiiling wintry breath
j Of soitow o'er them blows ;
But weep for litem who here remain,
The mournful heritors of pain ;
Condemned to sec each bright joy fade,
And mark grief's melancholy shade ?

' agents in South Carolina to tako from the pos1
session of the citizens, horses, mules, saddles,

The New Orleans Picayune says there seems
to be a general overhauling of General Butler's
transactions whilst in command of this department.
We have already noticed the decision
rendered by one of the New York courts,
condemning him to pay to Samuel Smith & Co.
the sum of 580,000, with interest, damages
and costs. Yesterday another of his acts was
reviewed by Judge Leainount, of the Fifth
insirict * ouit ii appears shortly before Gen.
lJutlcr occupied tlie city, Mr. L. Pilie, the former
city surveyor, was voted, by virtue of ?
. city ordiuance, the sum of ? l'KK) in consideration
of certain services rendered tbo corpora!
tion. Butler on learning the facts, and in exj
crcisc of the general powers of reviewing and
i acting upon subjects which had been determined
by the ?/< facto city governmcr.t before his
anivul here, or Icrcd .Mr. Pilio to refund the
sutn he had received, in default of which lie
condemned liiui to the Tortugas with ball and
chain. Under ibis duress Mr. l'ilie paid the
money. He now sues the city for the sum,
allcdging that i^was received by Butler for th
city.
After hearing the argument on the law and
facts of the case, Judge Leautnont rendered his
decision immediately, deciding that the money
was illegally extorted from Mr Pilic, and rendering
judgment against Butler. It is proper,
says the 1'icaynne, to add that both the lawyer

vicei of pilfering an t stealing. All kuow the
huhil ot the negro, and the opportunities he
has had and tempt at ions, lie knows little of

which is made fot the white man. Is it just *
