The Overmastering Question of the Day. The New York Hernia] discourses upon what it calls " the overmastering question of the day" in the following striking man ner : . " Shall we have Cresarism or republi canism?"' In our histoiy General Grant has attained the position which Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln attained. He is .. master of the political situation. Supreme in a party which is supreme in the nation, commanding our politics and legislation, he ?3 irresistible. Our constitution, unlike that of France and Spaiu, makes the Pres idential office as impre<r- ible as the Czar, impeachment is practiu, ./no punishment, ?nd no President can be reached except by a revolution. It is, moreover, a pain lui ard extraordinary tact that, while ive rv politician in America is thinking over the problem whether General Grant will * or will not be a candidate for re election, no leading republican has dared to say that such a candidacy would be pra tical-, 3y an avowal of the "failure of republican institutions. We see the unfortunate con ditions of our society-corruption in Con gress, on the Bench : in social life, luxury, voluptuousness, craving for riches, the absence of simplicity and. truth in our lives. After Tammany Hall, and Erie transactions, and Credit Mobilier, Cresa rism ?3 a danger that eau only be overcome by such a revolution as was needed to de-, strov the Tammany King. Men like Mr. Conkling, whose eloquence thundered like the roar of Niagara against poor Mr. Gree ? loy and his fancie*, are silent uow. They may say that they clo not speak because they will not be rude or unjust to the President. Thev will not speak because they dare not. When any Senator sup presses the truth within him because Cr? .sar may frown, then he is a partisan of Caesar. When any Senator has another monitor for his political conscience than the people's will ne is ready for any sur render. Nor does it answer our arguments that thevcharacter of General Grant forbids any apprehension that he will be a candidate for re election, or that, if elected, the lib erties of the nation will k>e safe in his hands. To this wo always answer that when liberty depends upon the forbear ance of any man it has no true life ; for while we have Grant to day, who may be trusted, whom shall we have to-morrow ? Rome had other Casars than Julius-nay, *hc had Brutus before Cresar. The evil is in our constitution, in thc subservience of our public men. Csesarism does not nec essarily mean that C cesar shall be a vici ous man. On the contrary, th<* men who have mounted to supremo authority haye generally been men of rare transcendent gifts. What men were Caesar, Cromwell, Napoleon-.' How rich in faculty and ex perience ! how brave and renowned ! how faithful to their country and its glory ! Cresarism always make a nation glorious, but never free ; and it is because we would rather have our country free than famous, because wc see thc highest 'glory in the truest freedom, that we press this discus sion. Nor does the character of General Grant entirely release him from anxiety. He is a soldier ; lie knows the felicity of authority. His ideas of the Presidency have always been that it is in many senses a personal office. True and faithful as he has been, there are many things he has done that show a tendency to Cresarism, to the belief that, in some way, the Pres ident has a supremacy of will that knows no responsibility but to his own consci ence. From-his first selection of a Cabi net down to his extraordinary assignment of his son to a command for which the ar my records showed neither exouse nor pre? c?dent, every now and then we Bee *the Cosar spirit-the belief that there is a su . prenne responsibilitv which in the.royal legends is called " by the grace of God." General Grant is no greater, no more pa triotic, no more suited to his country, than Caesar or Cromwell or Napoleon. Each of these men fought for his country and would have died for ii. In like manner did General Grant. But what these men achieved for Rome and England and France did not prevent their assuming power when it was bestowed. Therefore we contend that all sentimen tal issues in our politics should be post poned until we have decided the funda mental questions. Wc have seen France pass through a trial which we should dread to sec imposed upon America. We have seen her institutions submit to a strain which we are sure our own could not re sist. The lesson taught by France we -hould be swift to learn. . In the presence of this spirit of Csisarism which pervades ?HIV politics and has expression in Wash ington can we feel that there is no danger to the Republic ? If it is true that Gen eral Grant s friends mean to place him in nomination foi a third tenn and hi: is weak enough to accept, then tb*e issuo will be upon us-au issac involving the national freedom. We elected General < "rant a sec ond time because his fame, his services and thc unparalleled calumnies heaped upon him required no less a vindication. Tin's wc did as wc had done to Washing ton and Lincoln. At the same time we should gladly cud thc precedent here and support tho one-term amendment. Be yond that wc cannot go ; for if it is nec essary to elect any mau a perpetual Presi dent of the Republic wo have no Repub lic. Unadulterated Republicanism is in consistent with the idea of perpetual, constantly renewed power. Better, as we have said, abandon the expensive and ir ritating forms of election and legislation and government;uid return to our an cient allegiance to Great Britain. The Queen's government would no ?onbt re gard us as something more than a colony, and worthy of repr?sentation in Parlia ment, and welcome us back with stars and titles Wc should have then, what wc aro afraid we have not now, the right to pass judgment upon our rulers when they no longer possess public confidence. .Swindled Caroliua. ?

Aaron Richardson, the proprietor and 'manager of the Opera House, was placed on trial in the Court of Sessions, on an indictment charging him with a misdemeanor in violating the provisions of what is known as* the civil rights bill. Anna Lawyer, Margaret Pay ne, John F. Payne and Michael Meehan were examined on the part of the people, their evidence mainly going to show that Payne's servant, Lawyer, had been sent by him, accompanied by his children, who are al most white, to ithe box office of the Opera Honse and procured seats down stairs, re presentineth?t they were for the parents of the children, and that on Payne, pre senting the tickets at the door they*were refused admission, and told that there was a place for them in the gallery. The de fence claimed that the tickets were pro cured by false repr?sentations. The case was give-r to the jury about six o'clock in the evening, and they came in and report ed they were unable to agree, and were discharged. They stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction. The two .jurors wko held out for . conviction, is is said, have always boen noted as Abolitionists. ggr The *tnal of the* Modocs has been concluded, and there is said to be no doubt but that the commission will find them guilty.

Moses, Jr. From the Colleton Gazette, a strictly Republican journal, and edited with abil ity by Geo. F. McIntyre, Esq.. formerly a Republican Senator from that County, we copy the following article And we pub lish this article, not that we endorse it, but that public attention may be'brcfught to the accusations of hellish lust con tained therein against the preseut Chief Executive of the State of South Carolina, and that an investigation may be brought about, and the to-nth or. falsity of the dis gracefully outrageous reports clearly es tablished. The charges are clear and dis tinct, andar? boldly made by a man prom inent in Bepublican ranks, and who, we dare say, is responsible for his assertions. And now, in behalf of an outraged peo , pie, we demand an investigation-a close, searching and sweeping investigation. If "the charges cannot be sustained, let Geo. F. McIntyre suffer the fullest penalty of the law for his grossly libellous publica tion. If, on the contrary, the charges can be substantiated, and Moses is proven the guilty monster that McIntyre pro claims him, then in Heaven's name, let the vile, dirty dog be disrobed of his Exec utive mantle, kicked from the high office he so loathsomely degrades, and become as he must a by-word and reproach among all people, having the slightest spark of regard for decency and respectability. The Republican party-those who elect ed Moses to the Gubernatorial chair should not suffer these accusations to pass heedlessly by. Justice to Gov. Moses, and justice to the entire people of the State-white and colored, Republican and Democratic-should and must impel the Republican party to seek an investigation in the premises. Here is the article as we find it in the editorial columns of.4h'? Colleton Gazeite: History and numerous books of travel in the east furnishes with many incidents regarding the.;inhuman traffic indulged in by the Turks, (we refer to the slave mar kets where young innocent girls are sold,) J who, prompted by last, let nothing stand j in the way of their beastly gratifications, and the mind naturally revolts in horror from the contemplation of the fate of the poor young creatures when once they are made inmates of a harem. What will the J popular feeling be when it is made gener ally known that the Governor of this I State has persons employed for no other purpose than to act as procurers, inveigle into his meshes and den young girls of .J every description, regardless of their inno cence, and whoj when once in his posses sion, never go forth from him except as poor tainted beings, to become in time, if not immediately, miserable outcasts. Prominent among his creatures who I pamper to his villainous practices in this ' respect is one JI. C., a rather good look ling person from the City of Churches, who came to Columbia at the instance of Judas Moses, to be by him employed in I God knows what originally, but who cer tainly was never known to engage in any other business while in the Governor's em ploy, than the fiendish calling we have already alluded to. This young man plied 1 his calling along with a number of other males and females likewise hired by Moses, ' and in some instances the man out-strip 1 j ped the master; one of which we shall J mention. j This H.Q. met ata Pic-nic a young girl of about fourteen or fifteen years of age, who, it seems, took quite a fancy to him, and he with the devil's work rife in his heart, proceeded at once to ingratiate I himself incer favor, entirely forgetful of ' This master's claim upon him concerning all j possible victims. However, other wolves j sent out to seek victims for the fiend who j disgraces the Gubernatorial Chair, espied I the pair and made a report of it at once J to "his Excellency," at the same time dis canting freely upon the beauty of both j form and feature of the Intended victim. I They received instructions to procure her j at all risks-for his Excellency's self, who, j now seemed jealous of the doings of this j H. C., a creature he intended should visit J Pic-nics and the like in his interest, and J not irom any personal motive ; and they j at once set about carrying out their in I structions. livery effort of the smaller fiends, however, proved fruitless to accom I p;ish the hellish purpose in hand, and after J many like attempts they reported to ' his Excellency" their inabilty to serve him. Now docs the arch fiend go forth huu I self, and we blush to record it, found a j not unwilling tcol in the girl's own moth j er. God knows by what bribes or influ I ence va thus bringing a mother to be will 1 ing to sacrifice her own child ; but certain j it is that he succeeded in purchasing the girl from her inhuman parent. The result of a mother's influence over her child is told in a few words. A close carriage is sent by his Excellency to the j mother's house, and as a further induce ment to get the girl, to retnru in it to his Excellency's house, the veritable H. C., for whom she seemed to have formed an attachment, was sent with it to accompa ny her in the rid-* which was to convey her to her ruin. She consented. Swiftly was she carried to this den of infamy in habited by Judas Moses and ais-for the time-victims, and on many a succeeding afternoon the same close carriage might have been seen going and returning on this :;elf-same mission, always intrusted to the care and discretion of the aforesaid H. C. Now for the denouement. On one occasion H. C. happened lo be absent and thc mission ' of conducting the now ruined girl to and from, his Excellency's establishment on Assembly street, was in trusted to another, who, upon arriving at the girl's residence, was by her informed that she could7iotpossibly accompany him back until she could consult with ?. C. This creature of our Governor immediate ly returned to him and eported the words of the girl. Disappointment jud rage filled the heart of Judas. He sent af once for H. C. and dismissed him in no kindly manner from his service, but wheth er from fear of H. C's knowledge of his doings or some other motive, he did not ieave him altogether to his own resources to gain a livelihood, but had him appoint ed Sergeant of tho Guard at the Peniten tiary, where he now is, and should be, bul under different circumstances. Possibly J udas himself may have a correct idea that he himself will eventuate there, and it may be that H. C., was by him placed there to act, if called upon, in the capaci ty of " a friend at court.'' Deep is the de gradation that the people of this State have been made to endure, yet could any one in the ante bellum days have ever imag ined the proud Stateiof South Carolina sinking so'low as to haye-fin- her Chief Executive such a character "as is Judas Moses ? A Desperate Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-At Marys ville a bold attempt was made by three men to rob the bank of Decker Jewett. Frank Whipple, one of the robbers, en tered the bank and presented a pistol at Mr. Jewett's head. Mr. Jewett fell down and made his way to the desk, where Mr. Bingham, the chief clerk, was writing. Whipple leaped over the counter followed by Bingham, who instantly shot Whip le in the neck. A desperate and general ght then ensued. Several shots were fired, when'the combatants clubbed their pistols and finally Whipple turned to run out of the bank when Bingham and Jewett simultaneously fired upon him with dou ble barrel shot guns, and he fell mortally wounded on the side walk. Whipple says he had two confederates. ?3* The crop reports from Arkansas, I north Mississippi and west Tennessee, are encourging. Reports from north Al abama are conflicting.

Every one remembers the mysterious murder of the man Goodrich in Brook lyn some three or four months back. A Mrs. Lucette Meyer; who had been liv ing with Goodrich, was first arrested, and after repeated examinations, discharged. A Spaniard, named Roscoe, was then ar rested, and also finaMy discharged. And then, after much newspaper talk, the' matter subsided. And now, three or four months later, -the murderer, or rather murderess, is fairly discovered. She is a Miss Kate Stoddard, alias Miss Lixzie King, alias Miss Minnie Waltham-a woman young .and good looking. She too bad been liv ing with Good ri oh, and was, she Bays, ardently devoted to him. He however had tired of her. adel determined to dis card her. With prayers and tears, with writhings andgroanings, she besought him not to do this, but he remained in exorable. And goaded to madness by love and jealousy, she shot him through the head. His rings, seal, pocket-book and money were found in her trunks. She confesses the crime, but Says she was-and still is-insane. People, how ever, believe her to be altogether in her right mind. A Good Chance for a Practical Prin ter. Col. Carey W.

Dear Advertiser,-J have now been in Naples four or. five .days, enjoying the dolicious climate to tho utmost, and vis iting all the points and Qm??ts that tottf^ ist? ?ronerally. .consider 'of nuist .-bjipor /tance. Of ali" their ?iti?sy after- Rome, ["ih'? Italians are most proud of Naples!. A national motto says "see Naples and die." This lovely city lies on tho world-famed bay of the same name, has 000,000 in habitant's, and is, all in all, tho most charming spot upon earth. It is also the home and paradise of beggars-Lazzaro ni. These aro bad enough 'throughout Italy, but here they are totally pestifer ?ous and unendurable. I hayo visited only a few 0/ the three hundred churches for which Naples is famous. They are inor dinately rich in style and ornamentation, and ".'.I look alike to me. The National Mus?um here is one of the hnest in the world-filled with bron zes, marbles, jewels, and Pompeiian an tiquities too numerous and too beautiful to attempt to describe. In this Museum I inspected a collection of ancient Mum mies in a glass case, two of which are'in such a perfect state of preservation that the very hair upon their heads is lifelike. In company with a pleasant party, I have visited the Isle of Capri, the Blue I Grotto, and, last but not least, the-ruined city of Pompeii under Mt. "Vesuvius. We drove to Pompeii by private carriage, ?ind remained there over a half day ex amining this great historical scene. Al most the entire city has been cleared of the lava, mud and debris of the great eruption, and the ruins now stand clear and clean, above ground ; so much so that ono walks about this city of the dead in the same manner as about a city of the living. The house, of Diomed, the Street of the Tombs, tho City Gate (with the sentry .box where the soldier was found dead on dutyJ the City. Walls, the Forbin, t?ie Amphitheatre, tho Ba'fh's, the Theatre, the Temples, aro all objects of noblest and intensest interest. But of still greater interest to me was "Vesuvius,, which is at present so inactive as to allow travelers to ascend te its very crater The crater itself, however, js always burning, and always sending clouds of sulphurous smoke high into tho air. I had the good fortune to reach the high est point, and to walk as it were upon the lips of the crater, looking down into the fearful abyss and snuffing the fiery brimstone vapors, and gazing upon the red-hot openings hero and there all around. Vesuvius is 4000 feet above the sen, and so steep "that its extreme summit can only be reached upon foot. Of the many travelers who attempt thc ascent, not mof? than one-third ever reach the crater. They " faint by the way," and'must be content with roam ing about what rs called " The'Hcrmit age." By dint of strong physical endu rance, howeyer, and the pulling, tugging and grappling of an experienced guide, your correspondent "made the trip" and "saw the elephant." I. was well paid Zo.; my exertions and difficulties. The distance "across the crater is about n half mile, and I walked almost entirely around it viewing the depth from all sides. At certain points it was almost impossible to stand the withering heat and the strong odor of sulphur.. Vesu vius is certainly one of the greatest won ders of tho world. In visiting Capri we spent a wholo day roing and returning-by boat on the Bay Capri is a small mountainous island in tho Bay of Naples, and In ancient times was tho summer resort of the Roman aristocracy. At its highest point it is 1S00 feet above thc sea'; it has about 5000 inhabitants. Augustus built a great summer Palace on tho island, and subse quently Tiberius erected twelve Villas in honor of 12 Gods of heathen mytholo gy-traces of which buildings still re main The Blue Grotto is also on the shore of the Bay. You enter it in a small boat, and thc entrance being only S feet h height, you are obliged to lie down in the boat as tho latter glides in. Ill thc interior the roof is 40 feet hight above the water, while- tho dimensions of the Grotto otherwise are 165 by l'K) feet The effect of the refraction of the dazzling blue light upon every object is tho most beautiful thing I have over seou. To night I return to Rome, whence11 shall probably write you next. - M. A. M. A Letter From Missouri. MIAMI, Mo, July 8th, 1873. Dear Advertiser :-Now, whileour far mers aro busily engaged harvesting thc best crop of wheat ever raised in Mis souri, it may bo well to talk with you a little about Salino County and the crops This County measures four hundred thousand (400,000) acres, all rich and nearly all arabic land. The soil is from two to fifteen feet deep. During tho last twetye months there have been fattened in this county ar.fl sold, thirty thousand (30,000) cattle, three hundred thousand (300,000) hogs, and a considerable num ber of horses and mules. Tho Missouri River borders on our county for one hun dred miles, making nearly three-fourth* of its boundary, and affording several landings in the county at which towns have sprung up.* We have also one Rail road til rough the county.- Our towns are Marshall, Brownsville, Miami, Arrow Rock, Malu Bend. We have sovcral small villages besides. Tho towns named number on an average about a thousand each. The population of the county is twenty-five thousand (25,000). A common estimate for our present wheat crop is twenty to thirty five bush els; which, for estimating thc crop, wc will put at an average of twenty-five bushels per acre. The area of our coun ty in wheat this year is estimated at forty thousand (40,000) acres, which will give us for tho present 3'ield ono million (1, .?0,000) bushels. This, our farmers think, is now worth one million dollars. Now that I have run up this estimate for you, I am not willing to leave it without a hint at deductions,-such as tlie rent on land worth forty to fifty dollars per aero, cost of machinery, (about ?000 being ne cessary to stock an ordinary farm), cost of thrashing (0 cts. per bushol), cost ol hands harvesting (board and two dollars per day, some oven throe dollars). Some women are getting two dollars per day for binding wheat. Our prospect for acorn crop is remark ably good. Farmers of this county will engage now to deliver from the pni in the field, when dry next fall, at twenty cents per bushel. Oat? are heavy, estimated to yield 40 to 00 bushels per acre. Clover and the grasses all very good. Our farmers make clover hay under a high pressure system, as they do most of their work. They run tho rake only a few hours behind the mower, and pile the wilted clover in the barn. It molds a little, but makes tu>v of which horses and other stock au very fond. Men have not time for saving /odder in this country. In closing, let me say, that the contin ued good health of my family and my self, in our adopted home, is indeed re markable, as is also our success under God's blessing in our now field. Tho Edgefield and Edisto Baptist As sociations, meeting both in our old neigh borhood next autumn, do, by this re markable coincidence, invite us to visit our friends in the homo State then ; and cur abiding attachment for the friends of j ?xor youth ?sys comes, but^e aro not will ing at this distance from the time to say we will come.. You shall know before the timo whether we will or not Very truly, yours, 'JR. W. HORNE. Por.the Advertiser, ^-r- .To Facts and Figures. " T?&arilt, dear Brutus, is not in our "feStar, '." ;. Bat In ourselves, that we are underlings." The Public are indebted to "Facts and Figures'' for tho earnest a.id laborious oiforts which hrivo'boen made by him, through the Press, for thc construction of a Tram or Wood Railroad from Edgc Jield C. H. to Pine House, j The urgent necessity fdr Railroad coin 'm'unicatinn of some.sort to connect Edg? field villago.with tb?.trunks.of thcjjreat. Rail thoroughfares to the cities and towns of this and other States, ls too apparent to need elaboration at this time. For twenty five or thirty years perhaps, there have been hold In this place Railroad meetings, conventions, and all the ma chinery of inexperienced and inexpert men, to effectuate the great object of in ternal improvements in the way of Rail ways, without success ; and to-day, the venerable old Village is like, in its mis fortunes, to an "old Tower, from whioh rats are e~in sajd to mn away." What has been the cause of our failure hereto fore; is doubtless owing to the usual want of concert of action among ?mr people from the want of-definite and accurate information of the value;Ojf Railroads, in developing the resources' of a country, and thereby increasing tho value of prop erty, abd extending the blessings of"oiv? lization to places illumined only by dim reflections from other lights. Perhaps another cause has.been tho outlet for the surplus capitaltjf thc people, in former days, In tho purcli?so of lands and ne groes, which were tho only investments that they were thoroughly versed rn, and in which they felt secure of good profits. An agrinultnral- people are rarely Pro grcssionifsts or Reformer*. It is neces sary to demonstrate to them the actual and certain results of improvements, be -fore they aro willing to embark their capital m the venturo. There is also an other Treason In tho inflated conceit of people, who being wedded, to some pe culiar notion of their own, cannot per ceive and recognize the advantages of the plans of others. It is necessary that extremists on both sides modify their views, or probably, the next generation will find in old Edgofield Village the outlines only of its former existence. . There is one fact upon which wo all agit ", and that is, that we must bc on the linc of communication with Hie outer world, or we will inevitably go to decay and ruin. Edgefield Villago is non off the track, whilst tho rush of business and travel is passing by. and aw?" from ft.. Business men in the village.* instead of making an effort to restore the vitality of tho place, are locating elsewhere, and are leaving us only tho vices and crimes of a stagnant, and purulent civilization. Law, Order, Morality, Religion and De cency are fast fading from our socialism, and barbarism riots in rampant madness In our midst. Something must be done, and that quickly, if we are to be saved from ruin. A project is suggested by "Facts and Figures" to commence the work of rejuvenating and improving the old village, by the construction of such a Road as the people are able to build, and which will answer their purposes as well as that which'is termed a first class iron Railway. Try the cheapest Road tust-that which you arc alic lo build. Ascertain from its business whether it will pay-afterwards whether the busi ness done will authorize a bettor road ; and theil, an I not until then, endeavor tobiiilila better one.' We must creep before wo walk, and those who advocate a first '"Iiiss iron Railway at present, lits regatd tli ! prim iry law? of locomotion. There is ono thing certain,: Wc can build a tramway frpiu tho village ;y tho Pine Moline, and-equip it at a compara tively small cost;*btit wo cannot build a first class iron Railway at present wi:li ent a heavy outlay of funds, which <v.n nm be collected in thc present uonditi-m ol' things, and stringent sta;*! nf :?n? money market. Tin; question is Ived into ono of two alternatives, ? it!: r l i build a tramway, from Edgelicl.l C. Li. to thc Pine House, at a comparatively small expense, and experiment on tho chances nf such a Ball way paying .n?en cxp?iftes, nr begin by a lirnt class Rail way, that never wilt bo built, and .'here by los? forever all chances of coniH-eimn with thc grout arteries which wiil place j us in connection with the grund'contres j of trade, travel and civilization. COMMON SENSE; Our Aiken Correspondent. AIKKN, July Uth, ls;.;. MR. EDITOR-NOW, since summer has fully asserted itself, and thc dull, sou KUI be.g^un, wherein newspaper men have burder work thun at any other lime gath ering and manufacturing items-immy times when desperate getting locals'? from the family recipe book-perhaps a word or two from thc City of Health, (so-called by sanguine property hoblers) will help to "fill space" in the columns of your esteemed paper. Thc timo has passed, Mr, Editor, when the average Edgcfieldian could ?lng that pathetic and satirical stralr. ? "Barnwell County, Aiken Town," with evident gusto. Thc "Town'" having attained a degree of prosperity rather above that of its neighbor-though the latter is surrounded by tho best of cotton lands, and, like a self-made man, is not averse in prosperity, to listen to a recital of the tale, "How from-poverty I came." So tho song new would but show a pleas ing contrast. Tho good fortune of Aiken lies in thc virtue of its climate, which has made it one of tho most thriving towns in the State, with anotuneuviable future. The season for visitors from the North has; been over a month or more; but thc boarding-house keepers having rested during the intorim, are now exerting themselves, and with apparent Kucees3, . to induce a tide of visitors for tito R?m mer. It is aireadv a favorite resort of tho people pf Augusta, and il is as easy of approach from thal city, through the raediiimnfo.tr "AccommodationTrain," as are its suburbs. Savannah ami Char leston are also beginning anew io visit Aiken during tho hot months. It is a pleasure to hope tho day not Var distant when the ante-bellum summer visitors, -those who built tho many neal honsos about tho town-will have so far recov ered their fortunes as again to make this their regular^ su in ni er homo. No town In the State ls so admirably situated for both winter and summpr re sort as this isl ltd pure and dry air is beneficial alike to the consumptive and debilitated, and its drives, scenery, .tc, is attractive to thoso who -wish to escapo a while from pent-up city lifo. An organization has existed hero du ring the winter for tho Promotion of Amusements for the benefit of visitors for that season, but recently an associa tion for the advancement of tho interests of tho tow;; has boen organized jp its I stead. Its members are composed of \ euergotic men, and there is no doubt but that tho place will bo materially lu refit ted by tho workings of the Society. Its object is to forward and instituto any en terprise which will build up .and people tho town,-making it still more attrac tive and the voritivo " Saratoga of the South." As the Society is in its infancy it is nt present looking to tho beautifying of the streets and minor improvements. Very soon, howover, more important objecta ?HU engtet? ito attention. Aa this society will aoon be in good working order, would it not bo expedient, Mr. Editor, to sendVdbwn your energetic Railroad man, iorhim to bring before tho^oci.ei?'tliG importanco'-of a Railr?&J betWeen 'h'?re and ? Edgefield.? ' Let'biin say^bat ?.while be* believes in^ " linnie Im^bvejbpnt,'' ftpeighbor ^?nltl help another ia an euterprise.of ijj'uhml tj?nc lit.^ho?^h many?plims ?fa^?'adva?co men't of Aiken have been discussed, it appears that no tboughk?f another Rail road has entered the minus of its citizens. Especially a road bringing it in direct communication with the far West.-a road which would benefit the town more than any other. Heretofore the citizens have boen content with one Railroad, and their attention devoted to improve ments within the' c?rp?ratellniits oT the'' town. Yesterday I. heard that.tho S. C. Rail road Company^as now interesting itself in a road fromvHere to the Pine House, and that soon a proposition would be made by that Company to the people of Edgefield and Aiken to this effect: that if the people would subscribe ?200,000 to a road between Aiken and Ninety-Six tho Company would build the road from' Aiken to the Pine House. My informant was recently in tho City of Charleston, and got his information direot from the highest officials of 'the S C. Railroad Company.' It is true, that Company has for several y??ars talked of building the portion of road spoken'of, but, that now it is said it means "business;" It is to be hbped that the information is true. In my opinion there is more hope now for ? Railroad to Edgefield than ever. In the way of business our town is quite dull. The " Glorious Fourth" did not occasion the circulation of many greenbacks, thodgh crowds of the colored population filled the town with full in tent and purpose of enjoyin,. theyself." They seemed to be perfectly happy para ding with drum and fife, sweltering in the sun and firing a small cannon-in honor of the day. The crops in this section are smaller than_they were this time last year, but having got rid of the grass are in fine order and growing vigorously. It is thought about one-sixth more cotton is planted this year than last^ but there is no increase in the area planted in corn. We are getting good( rains and the planters are satisfied with the pros pects so far. The Peach crop has not amounted to much for several years, owing to the seasons and negleot of planting new trees, consequently more attention has been paid lately to the cultivation of cotton ; and it is now demonstrated that tho poor lands of Aiken, with the aid of fertilizers, will produce cotton, and that farming can be made profitable here. Last year oho of dor most successful planters made fwerity-seve>i bales ol' cotton cm twentyacres of land, not over a mile from Aiken Town. * T. For the Advertiser. What Should be Done with a Church Member, who Traffics lu Ardent Spirits f A paper read before the Union Meei..ig of tlie 4th Division, Edgefield Associa tion, on 27th day of June, 1873, by J. S. MCKIE, and published by request of the meeting. In this case I am of the opinion the Church should be as kindly affectioned Jowai-d sucli a brother as the case will permit, and endeavor by brotherly love to dissuade him from his course. His duty, howevor, is plain. He should im mediately forsake the traffic which is offensive to his brethren, as his bounden duty. Romans, 14 Chapter, 13, lil, ll vs. " Lot us not therefore judge one another any more ; but judge this rather that no man puta stumbling-block or an occa sion to fall in his brother's way. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is oll'ended, or is made weak." . Tho scriptures required UH to walk cir cumspectly. It ought to be noticed that public opinion is changed, and changing very fast, on this subject; and thc traffic in ardent spirits cannot bo entered into now as safely as it could sortie years ago. I think it is now satisfactorily ascertained that there is no lasting benefit whatever in* ardent spirits. Ic must be morally wrong to oller for sale, that which the vender knows can do the buyer no good. It must bo worse to offer for sale that which ho knows, while it can do him no good, may do him much harm. We ! would regret very much were we to al low ourselves under any pretext, to en gage in a traffic which would make it our interest to encourage our fellow men to ruin themselves for time and eternity. And such must bo the fatal step of those who enter into the traffic of that much abused commodity, ardent spirits. It is wise and safe in man to study the will of God, and endeavor to walk be fore him to all well pleasing. To bo in different to his honor, must be offensive to his majesty and provoking to his wrath. We are commanded whether wc eat or drink, or whatever wo do, to do all to tho glory of God. This ought to regulate the affairs of lifo aud the pleas ures of taste. Wo may offend in eating and drinking. -This, howevor depends upon our motive, and the oxtent of our j indulgence. So, Ibeliovo, with the traffic of liquor. Our Creator raado us depen dent on wholesome food for growth and health, and has graciously given us sxp petites and cravings for it. The gratifi cation of these natural desires, so far as consists with tho cuds . be secured, must be in accordance with Ids pleasure, [ who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Beyond this must be injurious and offen sive intemperance. It lias been .asked "cannot liquor he lawfully used by a Church member?" I remember to have seen the following answer by an eminent divine: "In just so far as they can be proven to be needful, cither for the good of tho user or for tho happiness of the community, otherwise their usewillbej injurious, and by thedictatesof common sense ought to bo declined." But says one, " docs not tho Bible allow' their use?" Just so far and no farther titan they, are beneficial. Tho -same author says, "Tho Bible does not pormit their nse for food ; for there is no sus tenance in them. It can't allow their 1 j use for tM fulfillment of any but the in nocor* .a natural desires, but there are I no sue. Desires for thom to satisfy. Thero is nothing in thom that can gratify any natural propensity. 1 think the Bible allows their use, then, only so far as. they are medical, That is, in cases of dis ease where tho patient is sinking, or a , complication of complaints where some thing is needed to sustain or invigorate the brain. The author above roforred to further says; " If tho desire for alcoholic liquors must be classed with tho lusts of the flesh-and I canuot see that it belongs to any other company-then tho Bible must be at war with tho traffic of it; becauso its tendency isas much, if not more than any other, to lill the world with corrup tion. And if God is at variance with tho causes of sin, and strikes at tho root of iniquity, he must be opposed to tho .traffic of spirits as a most fruitful source of moral evil, much unrighteousness and ungodliness on earth. It must, therefore, be morally wrong forachurch membor to traffic in ardent spirits." Extra Fine! J BBLS. Extra Fine TABLE SYRUPA for sale by Account; J Professional Notice.
