Trouble In Circenvlllc.
The Columbia Carolinian of the 17th inst.,
says: "We learn from passengers on the dowu
train last evening, that a serious disturbance
of the publio peace occurred at Greenville on
Bunday. It appears that a negro had brutally
assaulted a white man, who in self-defence
stabbed his antagonist. A large crowd of
freedmcn thereupon assembled near the Court
House (where the difficulty occurred.) and
passion getting wild among them, they threatened
to burn down the town, and finnlly attempted
to do so, but the fire wus extinguished.
The oitizens turned out freely in self-defence,
but we have not heard with what results.
Ladles' Memorial Association.
We take pleasure in calling the attention of
the public to the appeal made by the ladies of
the "Memorial Association for the Confederate
Dead of Okewood Cemetery," which is near
Richmond City, Ya. Tho object for which
contributions arc solicited we feel will be suf?.
.... .. - -
uvioub iu eocuro nil mat is needed for the ac
complishinent of this patriotic work of the deToted
women of this Association. Head the
appeal "To the Public," in another oolunm,
also the card of WiiTTtrooim Smith, D. P.,
who is the appointed agent of tho' Association
in this vicinity.We
are pleaftcd to sec thai these Associations
are being formed all over the country, having
for their object the commemoration of the
Confederate dead and the renewal of grave
mounds, grave boards and the general preservation
and beautifying of the bullowed ground
where rest the remains of our dead, but wo
regret that no move of this kind has becu
yde in our town.
Mrs- Baker's School exhibition
On Thursday evening last, the dull monotony
of our town was agreeably broken by the
interesting exhibition givcu by the pupils ot
Mrs. C. Y. Baker's school. The capacious
room of the Court House'was filled to overflowing
with tbo beauty and grace of our town.
The exhibition was very interesting and mousing,
and was highly appreciated by the large
and intelligent audience.* The admirably
arranged, selected and performed pieces culled
forth frequent and enthusiastic plaudits from
the audience. The performances on the pari
of the juveniles were exceedingly interesting
and highly creditable to all concerned?the
most of them being under twelve years of age.
The little fellows spoke out manfully, and wiili
euoh onjphaais and gesticulation as to satisfy
all that the preparations, however short, betokened
attention to oratorical culture, and gave
striking evidence of her proficiency ns a teacher,
who had the training of these youthful performers.
The young ladies who participated
did well. Their enunciation wan distinct and
audible, and deportment most graceful. We
cannot hope to convey an idea of the great
success of the young ladies in the performance
of their several parts. Doubtless many a "star
actress'1 was less successful in the "novitiate"
than some of these. We never knew an occa
eion of the kind in our town to prove a more
perfect success?more admirably conducted,
and more interesting to its auditors?than this.
All who wero present expressed themselves as
delighted with the performances of the evening.
to which our failure to do justico iu this imperfect
notice is almost unpardonable, ns all
who were present can bcur witness. We think
it would be Tcry improving to pupils, and exceedingly
agreeable to our citizens to have
such exhibitions more frequently. Such occasions
have a healthful influence, nnd arc benefi
cial to the community at largo.
Mrs. Dakf.u has a large and flourishing
school, and is a popular and accomplished
/etcher. We wish for hor still greater success

TO THK I'F.OPLK OF TIIK SOl'TII :
The Ladies' Memorial Association for Cot
federate Dead of Oakwood," near lliclimou>
Virginia, was organized permanently on tl
19th of April. lStitl, for the purpose of reset
iug from obliviou the names and graves of tl
guilniit Confederate Dead who sleep at Oal
wood Cemetery.
This Cemetery, situated one mile east of tl
Citv. contains {Sixteen Thousand Cfinfmlumi
Soldier's Craves, a larger number than an
other in the South, including represent alii
dead kront every Southern Slate. The gtavi
are in a neglected condition, the names of tl
occupants mat ked only by rude pieces of boat
carelessly and slightly put in the earth. Th
grounds nr? dc.oluio and tin-'ttcloscd.
Tlic Common Council of the City of lUci
niond has undertaken the wctk of cnclositt
the CemeCety, and has tuade the requisite at
propriutiou for that purpose.
The work of love, gratitude nnJ duty, whit
litis Association proposes for itself is simp]
lit: - :
1. To turf each grave and mark it with
neat wooden head-board, upon which is to 1
inscribed the name of the occupant, Ins Stati
regiment ami company, and other iuforinaiio
in regard to him.
ii. To lay out anil decorate the grounds, an
to redeem llietn from their present condition <
utter chocrlcjanes* and desolation. And
<T At some future day, when the finances <
the Association shall petuiil it, to replace tli
wooden head-boards with enduring marble,an
to erect a handsome monument for each Stat
of the South, commemorating itSnead.
To etfeot these purposes it is necessary!
appeal to the people of the South for pecuniar
assistance. The As ociatiou is poor, the pci
pic of Richmond are poor, and the work to !
done is lor the honor and credit of the entii
South. It would be itti indelible shame an
an ever present disgrace If, having the powc
to honor our dead, to perpetuate their name
ami memories, and to preserve and prote<
their graves, our people should sutler tluin t
tin ,.<.rr1i>/.| ml .....I C,....... t I .... .....it <1 .. f.... 11 ...

are totally destroyed by decay, and die las
rendered impossible. liow many lunula
throughout the Mouth have reprcsoninlivt
sleeping at Oak wood t'cnictcryY How inno
mothers, and sisters, and fat hers, and brother'
ami friends, would be soothed and gratified t
know that the brave dead were honored, an
their graves oared for and tended'! ho woul
not be shocked and pained to witness the pn
sent lamentable condition of these graves, an
tosco how rapidly the hand of time is oblitci
ating all traces of the memorials of the guliiu
dead who died for us ?
Could tlie people of the Mouth look upon tli
I lonely, desolate, and neglected graves, no a)
I peal would be necessary. The silent relink
of theso forgotten heroes, would reach tli
hearts and consciences of every Christian ma
and woman of the South.
The Association is not for a day or a year
it is not the passing fancy of an hour, or tli
ephemeral creature of n momentary impulse
it is permanently organiz e], with already tw
hundred and fifty active members, li wi
know no rest until its purposes are successful]
and fully achieved. It will not fail, it caniu
fail, it shall not fail, until the manhood of Hi
South has lost its chivalry, and until its we
men have ceased to mourn for their childrc
because " they arc not."
In this work ot piety and love the Assoc in
tiou solemnly pledges its honor to the peopl
of the South to apply, faithfully and economi
cnlly, the funds which may l>c contributed.
Editors friendly to the purpose of this As
social ion will confer a favor by copying int

Look Out.;?Dr. D. M. Clark calltd to mo
us last Friday, and stated thai he was on the
search of a froedman who gave his name as
Warren Gilliam, formerly belonging to General
James Gilliam. Said boy broke into the Doctor's
house during his absence and stole a revolver.
In tracing him up he learned that the
fellow stopped at Mrs. Miles Cromers, and ordered
dinner, telling the lady that be was in
the habit of getting whatever he wanted?and
that hiB business was to burn and steal whenever
it suited him. The Doctor traced him to
Newberry, and succeeding in recovering the
pis'ol which he had sold to a merchant nets,
saying that he purchased it in Columbia.
All along the direction he took in eomiog
this way. Dr. Clark learned that the fellow
made (when practicable) great boasts of what
he could do, and enquired very particularly
about the burning of Newberry. He also told
some one that he had just finished a job of work
for Mr. Daily Sober, in this Distriet, and that
ho was on his way to Union and Spartanburg.
We did not get a description of this irrepressible
Ethiopian, but would advise parties to b?
on the qui vive for his appearance.
