Carolina's Honored Dead. We again advert to the roll of our martyred dead and the history of thc dif ferent regiments, battalions and compa nies, furnished hy this State during the late war, which is now in course of prepa ration by the Survivors' Association of South Carolina. An agent has been ap pointed to canvass the State for subscribers to this most valuable work, a copy of which should find its way to the house hold of even* oneavhose heart throb? in unison with the principle.- for which those brave men fought and so heroically died. It-is true " the Avar between the States" is past, and the doctrines which we sub mitted to tho stern arbitrament of arms lias bren decided against us. It is true that it was our du fy when the last line of bayonets was lowered at Appoma'tox. *'hon the starr}' cross on the ensign of rh.; anny of the West was shrouded in '. hq gloom of the surrender at Jonesboro. io forget the mad passions engendered bv the red demond of strife. " But though the field be lost, it does not follow that we should be altogether unmindful of the past-a past fruitful in all the elements of mora!, political and martial Greatness-a past, the fame of which is as imperishable :IK the deeds it commemorates ; a past which calls up thc march, the bivouac and the fight. The march through the gorges of the Blue Ridge, and up the lovely Valley of the Shenandoah-with Johnston through Tennessee and Georgia, whore the footprints of our men could be traced in characters of blood, from their torn and lacerated feet. The bivouac, where 'neath the cold arch of winter's night, and the quivering light of the stars, they rested from tho fatigues of thc day, uncomforted save by thoughts of the loving and loved ones in their sunny >>outhera"home. The fight in which our gallant boys presented fearless breasts to the storm of leaden hail, and won for themselves a name' almost without a parallel in the history of nations. It is the intentnn of the Survivors' Associa tion to plano on record the name of every soldici irom this State who perished in battle or who died during the war. There are few of our people who do not mourn some relation who fell in the front of bat tle. . There are none of our people who do not treasure the memory of our slain heroes. Even those who were opposed to the principles for which the South foughf bear willing testimony to the valor and self-sacrificing heroism of the men in gray. We earnestly hope that the agent will meet with success commensurate with the nobleness of the object.-Charleston Cou rier. The Crops in South Carolina. We print to-day a number of letters from our attentive correspondents in the interior which letters, together with other trustworthy information in our possession, enable U3 to make the following general estimate of the probable cotton and corn crops of ISouth Carolina for the current year: 1. With the most favorable seasons, tho cotton crop of this year will be at least thirty per cent, less than that of last year -the estimates range from, twenty-five per cent, to fifty per cent., according to locali ty 's. With unfavorable seasons, the crop ?will not exceed one-half of tho crop of last year. Upon this point, our estimate agree 3. The crop of the present, vear will cost at least twenty-five per cent. less than tho crop of last year. The estimate range from ten per cent, to thirty-three per cent. 4. The crop of brcadstuffs, although there was a large increase in area, will not be larger than is required for the wants of thc State, ard, in some localities, there will be a deficiency. This is the substance of all the letters and private advices received by us during the past two weeks, but it iuust not be . forgotten that heavy rains?or high winds would seriously diminish the yield of cot ton, and reduce the crop of the staple be low our lowest figures'.-Charleston Rewa Items of State News, f?tf The national Bank of Newberry is now in full operation, and its bills are being put in circulation.

So when she became ill. no one would assist her or call in a physician, nnd she died, probably for want ot attention.

Edgetteld, S. C., Aug. 24, 1871. Editorial' Correspondence* GREENVILLE, Aug. 18th, J871. We aro still, in Greenville. And why ? Because no more charming summer resort can ho found this side pfthe Green brier White Sulphur. And yet Green ville, dunns tho whole of our sojourn, hn?s been a Tophet-ns hot a one as old John Bunvan ever dreamed of. For five weeks there has been no rain-noth ine you could call rain. The dust is a fnrloner in depth, and so red and hot as to be, like Bardolph's nose in tho play, "suggestive of hell fire." Tho crops throushout the county are said to be suffering fearfully. Indeed from all tho neichborinc counties comes the same melancholy tale. While you at home have had such fine seasons! To-day, however, Friday the 18th, the clouds are thick and the atmosphere is. damp. We shall soon have rain. And when it begins to vain here towards fall, it never stops. But no matter; floods will be preferable to flames. In a fortnight too, we predict, it will be unlawfully cool, and people will be obliged to lay aside their white clothes, and wrap up in semi winter style. As to tho laying aside of the white clothes, however, that will be a mercy * the spectators if not to the wearers. What with the hard water and the red dust, so common here, white dresses and white pants and vests soon become entirely unavailable. Daily (it ought to be semi-daily) as wo put on a clean (?) shirt, we weep with shame and humiliation. Last Sunday, on our way from church, one of our sisters grabbed theother frantically, and said ecstatically, pointing to a lady at a little distance, "Look at that lovely cream-colored pique ! Did you ever see anything 60 stylish ?" And with a natural love for Babylonish garments, we lingered in the dust to see the cream-colored pique nearer. But when the lady passed, it turned out to be as melancholy and darkling a jaconet as ever had experi ence of a wash tub. . Vive la bagatelle ! Excuse us for writing in a somewhat loose and vagabondish manner. It is in fact an irksome thing in this world to be respectable all thc time. And just think too, when tho Presidential contest begins next year, of the ponderous things we shall have to bring forth-in sore la bor and travail. We shudder at the thought ! The TJ. S. Court is still in session. A caso has just been concluded which at tracted much public interest and atten tion. Tho trial of one Wiley C. Bishop, a Caesar's Head scalawag, and former member of the Legislature, for forging an old woman's name upon the back of her pension draft-and all such. Wiley, they tell us, is decidedly a mauvais sujet. Besides being a pestilent Radical, ho has, twice previous to this, been tried for hog stealing. In each case, however, he was acquitted. And now, of this forgery, the jury also cleared*him. So who knows but that Wiley is a persecuted man? The public generally, however, seem to believe him guilty, and are indignant at his acquittal. Genl. Easley and T. S. Arthur Esq., spoke ably in his behalf. To-day the trial of a Ku Klux case is to be entered upon. It promises to be in teresting. And speaking of Radical mern hers of the Legislature, reminds us of Wilson Cook, the leader of the negroes in this quarter. We behold Wilson in , thc Court almost every day, andN with feelings of considerable awe and admi ration. He is as tine-looking, well-dress ed and well-mannered a man as one would wish to meet. White and black speak well of him. He is jrich and lives in purplo. On Sunday evening last, the Revi Mr. ; THOMAS, of the Baptist Church, made . Iiis adieu to his congregation. Almost the entire community-ali creeds and all classer-composed his audience, and the occasion was ono of sad interest. Dr. JAMES FURMAN is to bc the successor of iMr. THOMAS, and will enter at once upon Iiis pastoral duties. The Baptist Church is a very large and handsome building, with" a spire that would do" credit to New York. The interior which is beautifully frescoed, looks, however, more like a grand city Concert hall or lecture room, than a church. It is much marred, too, 'by side galleries with /neutles so pitiless ly plain and cheap as to be entirely out of rapport with the walls and rostrum. The leading voi e in the Baptist choir and a beautiful voice il is-is that of our lovely young friend (formerly our coun trywomen) Miss EMMIE ADDISON. And apropos of Churches, the Metlro dists are building a new edifice. It is situated in a line grove in the heart of tho town, and promises to be large, mod ern and handsome. <>n Tuesday next th? corner-stone of this Church is to be laid by the Masonic fraternity, of which? the Rev. Mr. STEPHENS, Presiding Elder of this District, is a member. Dr. WHITE FORD S.MiTn is ta deliver an address upon this occasion. The most beautiful Church in South Carolina, as regards thc purity and integ rity of its architecture, is the Episcopal Church here. It is perhaps more strict ly Gothic than any similar edifice we have seen out of Germany. With a little more paint and varnish, and a little more ornamentation, it would be a Church of very rare beauty. Its pastor is the Rov. ELLISON CAPERS, son of the late eminent Bishop CAPERS of the Methodist Church, tfnd a distinguished Brigadier in our late war. But every one knows him, for he has long been a man of high deeds and good works. He is genial, fervent, elo quent, and warmly beloved by his con gregation. So much so indeed, that he has just declined a call to St Lukes, Charleston, to fill the place of tho la mented GADSDEN-a compliment to any man. The conductor of tho music in this fine Church is that Edgefield veteran, our honored uncle, who, isas well known among you, has ever been the corner stone, and walls, and columns, and stain ed glass-and all other component parts -of the Episcopal Church, wherever he has lived. His choir, as regards one or two leading voices is somewhat a tran- 1 sicnt one Consequently while tho sing ing in this Church is often very beauti ful indeed, it is also some times rather shaky. But we dwell too long perhaps upon the Churches. Let us hurry on and dwell for a season in thc tents of wick edness and amid tho pleasures of sin. We said in our last that Greenville did , not dance this summer. But she has , begun, hotly and heavily. That elegant and hospitable lady, Mrs. Col. IRVINE, ? so well known in our community, open ed the ball at her charming suburban home, on Monday evening last. And the , talk at present is altogether of dancing. , We hear that the City Club, in about a j fortnight, is to reach the climax in this respect, by a grand costume ball. But let us tell you a little of one soiree dan- ? san te in particular. And why? Because | it was given expressly to a lovely und j amiable Edgefiold maiden whom no one j knows but to love or names but to praise j -Miss MAMIE JONES. Miss J's most l intimate friend in Greenville is a brilliant i young married lady-with all the air and 8 manner of a dame du grand monde-who T boards at the Mansion House. And hera the latter gathered together the bravery, B beauty and fashion of Greenville to meet \ our young countrywoman. Did we speak j of it as a soiree dansante f It was more, [t was a very brilliant and sparkling ball ; and the fair beneficiare of the even- ? ug (if we may so express it) waa not th0 * least admired ol'tho many beautiful girls who graced and glorified the scene. At this ball, a small colony Qf. Edgefield aborigines rather clustered'; around a genial gentleman whom many1 Edgefield . people know, love, and will be glad to hear of-Dr. SJ?M M?RSHA?? formerly^ of Abbeville. " Dr. MAiusnA"tjii has livef$j \ here seven or eight years, is^ii'partner ia^ ', a prominent Drug Store, a popular vigQ-. titioner, ano!, a?'of yore, a South Caroli nian of the old knightly and cavalier type. Another person hereto whom Edge field people are naturally drawn is the venerable Mrs. JANE BUTLER, who, like Dr. BUIST, may bo seen on the streets almost any fine day, followed by three little grandsons, the sons of Genl. M. C., who are spending the summor with her. This lady, of the old and high regime, is as ha?e, vivacious', witty, and full of in terest in the life around her, as if she were but twenty years old. Her chil dren and grandchildren cluster lovingly around her, and her old age is, as it should be, prosperous and honored. How is that Edgefield and Laurens narrow gauge ? Shall ? we travel home upon it two weeks hence? Nightly and morningly we p'ray in its behalf. Our next letter will be from-we know not where. Caesar's Head perhaps. But we shall blow where we list,- and no man shall tell whence we come or whither wo go. Again Adieu. J. T. B. A Noble Benefaction. The Trustees of tho Louisville Medical Collepe, (Louisville, Ky.,) have created one of the most liberal and noble bene factions ever conferred by a public Insti tution upon any people. The Trustees of this College have instituted one Ben eficiary Scholarship for each Congression al District in the Southern and surround ing States. By this means very many poOr but deserving 'young men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medical ed ucation. Any one wishing to take ad vantage of this Benefection which is worth to each student at least 8200, has only to write te T>-. E. 8. Gaillard, Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky., wu en he will receive a college catalogue witu full in formation in regard to all that is necessa ry for him to do to secure one of these Scholarships. With properand welcome delicacy the names of those -who have secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will be known only to thc Dean of the Facul ty. It is unnecessary to commend those who have established these noble Bene ficiary Scholarships. Their act will bring them the highestcommendation wherev er it is known. In accordance with the old Hippocratic oath, forbidding physicians to charge the families of each other for services ren dered, the Faculty of this College will make no charge for teaching sons of phj-sieians, and, as no physician charges a clergyman's family, the sons of clergy men will receive the same privilege. Tho next College session begins October 2d, 187J. As the lecture fees charged for each s tudent who has not obtained a Beneficiary Scholarship, amount to ?120, annually, thc public can appreciate the munificence of this benefaction. The Forman University and The Uni versal Life Insurance Company. From a letter to the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, by its editor, Mr. BONNER, who has lately been on a trip to Green ville, wc clip the following paragraph, adding that thc "Agent" spoken of, is our able and active fellow citizen Capt. GEO. LAKE: " A scheme is on foot to re-endow the University located here, and it is be lieved will be carnied through this year. We might say a double scheme has been undertaken for this purpose-one by or dinary subscriptions, payable in five an nual instalments, and one by the life in surance plan. By this latter plan, the agent told us the othor day, it was pro Eosed to. raise an endowment of three undred thousand dollars, and he added, that he hoped to complete the work in the next sixty days. This will become the popular plan for endowing colleges in the next ten years. If there is any desire to know more of this subject, we will ex> jplain at some future time." I Further Mian this, our, Editor writes us from Greenville that Capt. LAKE is suc ceeding admirably in this novel scheme, and that he is soon to transfer the field of his labors from Greenville to Charleston. Wc trust tho Charlestonians will receive him well, and heartily further this ap parently admirable endowment plan. . m MJfci m -? On tho matter of advertising, we said two years ago that the city of Augusta did more advertising in the Edgefield Advertiser than the city of Charleston did in all the country papers of the State put together. Such is still the case. Chester Reporter. And Augusta has a real live business provoking and wide-awake commercial coinmunity,-men who know that judicious advertising pays, and therefore invest liberally in printer's ink. And see the result: In Charleston, (whero the mer chants save money by not advertising,) dull stagnation and a fearful lack of ani mation and enterprise is observable on all sides. Whilst in Augusta (where the merchants make money by advertising far and wide,) all is life and activity ; the city Ls rapidly extending its limits ; new and splendid buildings . ? constantly going up ; new merchants are coming in ; the older merchants are increasing the capacity of their stores and adding to their stocks; railroads are being built, and canals opened,-and the brightest prospects of a golden harvest arc loom ing up in the near future. Wo would rejoice to know that Charles ton was regaining and extending her wonted commercial prosperity. But be fore this desirable consummation can be attained, her merchants must change their tactics. In short, they must seek customers and trade through thc columns of the newspaper press of tho interior. Let them inform the people of Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida concern ing thc inducements they can and will offer to all in want ofmerchandi.se; t'n vite customers from abroad to examine their wholesale and retail stocks, before seeking other and perhaps inferior mar kets. Do this, ye merchants of Charles ton, and ere long your gloomy repinings will be changed to songs of joy and re joicing. - " Home and Health." Every family needs a high-toned, fresh and practical "health journal. Homebooks of Medicine and Hygiene are expensive, and of very limited circulation, -and many of them are not adaplcl to the masses, and will not reach them. Be sides, most of them cont in matter which should not go under the eye of the young er members of the family. A journal which avoids technical and mere profes sional phrazes, and the treatment of all improper subjects, which is not written in the interest of any medical party dr clique, and whose publishers are not committed to any hobby, is needed eve rywhere. Such a journal is " Health and Home." The terms aro purposely placed low HO IS to insure the widest possible circula ron. The subscription price, only $1,50, s less then the cost of a single visit of a practicing physician. Surely the constant . iresence of such a magazine in the fami- , y will pay.

A Tour to the Mountains. Dear Advertiser-During g''fJhort visit recently to Greenville, I c??ciuded to take a trip to the mountain^*'which ap pear fife th?/wall or division line between North an?; South Carolina. We dtj&ded however to keep within our^wir$State, and wenti? Caesar's .Head,'.^her? there, is a comfortable hote?j situated upon the summit ~bf a spe?&Of tho ^ino'^idge, and over wliich hotel presides a gallant ex-ubnfederate soldier and a worthy Southern gentleman, Mr. JosErn CAR SON. He met us at the piazza, as usual, and welcomed us m?'st kindly and cour teously, and made, us feel perfectly at home. We soon w$r? asked to, join him in a Mint Julep, wh'icn we, out'of regard for our old friend, incontinently did, and. found the Julep superb, and enjoyed it very' much. Shortly .after, supper was announced, and that choico beefsteak, excellent bread, sweet rriounta?n butter, and delightful coffee we will not speedily forget. In fact, tho fare and nice clean condition of the house and rooms of the Caesar's Head Hotel is not surpassed at 1 any of the Hotels at watering places which it has been 'our good fortune to visit . . i . ' rf?iC *;'..?; ? ' The next morning we. .went to taken view of Ceasar's Head, situate about one quarter of a mile from the Hotel, and dur polite friend, Mr. Carson, accompa nied us, and pointed out the points of in terest. Wliy it is called Ceasar's Head instead of Pompey's, Alexander's, or any other man,-even yours, Mr. Editor, -I cannot say, but Wo saw tho Head. It is on a summit, and an edge of the precipice, and which precipice towers some 3,500 feet above the level of the sea', Standing on this mountain peak, is open ed to your view a portion of three Coun ties in South Carolina and a glimpse of Georgia. The view and scenery is pic turesquely grand and grandly magnifi cent^-equal to any of the beautiful, scenic views of Switzerland. And I would ad vise many of tho men in Edgefield, and some of the women too, to take a tour to Caesar's Head,-not only on account of tho pleasure of the trip and the beauty of tho scenery, but also to get, liko your humble correspondent, so near the Hea vens, and remain as long as possible, as they will probably never again have so good an opportunity of getting so near " the home of the blessed." After gazing to our satisfaction at old Julius' Head and the surrounding scene ry, we descended down & path and enter ed what is called his mouth, a large cavi ty in this immense rock, and resembling at a distance a mouth, taking aside view. Sight-seeingover,' we retraced our steps and repaired again to the hospitable quar ters of our Hotel, and resumed our "practico at tho bar"-and those pure " corn whiskey juleps," "corn whiskey toddies" and "corn whiskey straights" we found superbly excellent, and soon began to feel quite comfortable and ex tremely jovial and happy. Next morning we left the Hotel bright and early for Greenville, where wo ar rived safely, and rested two days, and then proceeded on.ourway to old Edge field, via Laurens C. H. and Ninety-Six. Laurens is now in a worse condit. m for railroad facilities than Edgefield. We are near enough to Augusta to haul our ; produce, even without a Railroad, but we have that within six miles of us. But Laurens has no railroall communication nearer than Ninety-Six, which is 25 miles distant. The old road from Laurens to Newberry is not in running order, and never will be, although the ent rprising Ringwho have charge of the Greenville it Columbia Railroad make frequent promises of building a " narrow gauge'" to Laurens, which they have no idea of doing. From all I could gather from conver sation with the citizens above and at Laurens C. H., and. between, there and Ninety-Six, I found that the repairing or rebuilding of the old Road was not at all desirable, but that they all'wanted a road built along the very linc which I see mentioned in your paper of thc 10th, and for which road tho notice of application for a charter is given. It is a feasible project and very popular route, and there it? nothing in the wa}' to prevent its being carried forward to completion. To Lau rens and Edgelidld, this road is of tho lir.st importance, Imf. i ts completion would add materially to tho interest of Augusta, as thousands of bales of cotton would thereby bc thrown into its market which otherwise would not got there. And I consulting her own interest, hs Augusta always docs, she will no doubt, in con cert with the people of Laurens and Edgefield, subscribe largely to this Rail road enterprise. This is tho accepted timo to strike for a Railroad. Let every man, woman and child In Edgefield, givooncpull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, ?md old Edge held will j'et bo hauled from the mud. Promising to write you again on this Railroad scheme, ? will now close, hop ing in thc meantime, Mr. Editor, that you will keep the 1 rdl rqlling until our grand undertaking is crowned with suc cess. .

DIED, on the 12th of July, in Fernai dina, Fla., CHARLIE HAYWAR SWEARENGIN, aged 27. A wife and twd children, under th 4will of Him who holds the ''keys of li and death," have thus been bereaved < a beloved husband and luther. He di his duty in thar* state of life, in whic it had pleased God to call him, with dil gonce and Mthfulness. Though it is a high thing-a solem thing to dio,-a special coming out of tl sphere of ordinary Law into tho Depar ment of Divine Perogativc, yet, whe the summons came, he was not unpri Jared for tho wonderful event. He ha evoted no little time, no few days, i the higher interest of his soul. He wt resigned to the will of his Lord and Si viour. He died in tho faith of Chri? crucified, having the testimony of a goo conscience ; in the confidence of a cei tain faith ; in tho comfort of a'reasonabl religious and holy hope. ' J. DIED, on the 6th May, at the resident of her sister, Miss SUSAN A. Di |:LAUGHTER, aged, 41 years. She was for twenty years a member < the Baptist Church at Sweetwater. She leaves a large family and circle < friends, to mourn her loss, and to admii tho principles- of truth which adorne her life. In her protracted illness, her deep an enlightened knowledge of Christ, h( Lord, cast a ray of cheerfulness over ht sufferings. So when death came, h found her wilting for her Lord, H himself trod the dark avenue of dcatl: He himsolf passed through into ih realms of the unseen. There arc hi footsteps, all along tho path, even whet the shadows gather thickest round it, ^LS there were the footsteps of the priesi I jail along the deepest bed of Jordai Said her faith: "His footsteps,-tun ?Himself, is. there." Is it -not. writtci " Though I walk through tiie valley < the shadow of death, I will fear no cvi for thou art with me." ' J. AUGUSTA, Aiurust 22."
