Gentlemen, throw off your summer sluggishness, and at once-in the col umns, of .the old ADVERTISER-an nounce yourselves and your business anew. Hide not your light under a bushel, nor hug the delusion that pe o ple already know you are in business and will trade with you aryhow. In these days you must keep your names and claims persistently before the people. If you do not, the people will clean forget your existence. For two years past the country has been passing through a period of lethargy and business depression. This condi tion-and our memory runs a good many years back-is periodical, and is always succeeded by times of re markable activity in all lines of hu man effort. Even now the reaction seems to be rapidly coming. There are already many indications of a business revival, and of the dawn of another period of prosperity. There fore we would any to our business pat rons: Send in- your advertisements. Do not allow yourselves to be last in the great race. The ADVERTISER, with its long established popularity and its large subscription list, ia a most excellent medium for your ef forts. - j - --- Terrible D?vastation iu Old Charleston. 'Inasmuch as the fearful cyclone whiclrhas-flo recently and so terribly devastated the city of Charleston, took place on the morning before our last issue, and our readers generally have, before this time, become famil- j iaxjii^tbe matter, we will not now 'enter Into" details. The storm, by ' land and sea, was the most violent and destructive thai has scourged our coast for forty years. So much to, in fact, that proud old Charleston, as she now stands, js half way a masa of ruins and debris. Houses, churches, public edifices, steepleg, shipping, wharves, fencing.'trees* parks, walls, streets, battery, islands, have all fall en and been scattered before the ruth less wind."' The accounts of the de vastation are thrilling and appalling. In our life we have read of nothing so terrible. as this cyclone occurring in our-latitude. Tbs loss in and im mediately around the city ie estimat ed at more, than a million and a half of dollars. And- this, too, after ten days to reeover from excitement and look around calmly. A million and a half of dcilpjTBl And still the his toric city stands brave and undis mayed". So much so that help offered, ofiiorally, "fcy the sister city of Colum bia, wa? conrteouely and kindly de? clined. Truly, in this memorable and trying crisis,' Charleston's misfortune serves to bring out, in splendid relief, her. nobility ' of spirit-her nerve her, grit-her financial, social and moral power of rebound. We sym pathize with -her deeply. We honor her-most highly. Subscribe to the ADVERTISER. Newberry vs. Prosperity. The article concerning the Narrow Gange Road, which we copy from our esteemed cotemporary, the Newberry Observer, is a good one in the main. We must confess, however, that, with the exception of Mr. Tillman, we have never heard a single individual "pro pose to run the road in the direction of Johnston." A very good and feasi ble route, taking in Prosperity, and sHll reaching Newberry advantage ously, would be from Edgefield C. II. to Richardsonville; thence, eastward, by Red Bank Church ; thence, north ease ward, by Corinth Church; striking Big Saluda opposite the mouth of Bu^h River ; thence to Prosperity ; thence to Newberry. The Newberry Observer Favors (he Westernmost Route. From thc Newberry Observer. It seems to be decided that the narrow-gauge from Augusta to New berry will be built. The question now agitating the public mind is, By what route? Several facts should be borne in mind in this discussion. "he most prominent fact is, the road should be built by the route that will pay best ; and this is equally true whether it be built by private sub scriptions or by township subscription. Another fact is, the road will pay best, other things being equal, that reaches its termini by the shortest route. Another face ip, the road will pay best, other things being equal, that runs through a country distant from roads already in operation. The shortest route from Edgefield to Newberry is by way of Boukuight s Ferry, or a little above. To run a road from Edgefield to Johnston, as some propose, or in the direction of Johnston, and then ex tend it to Prosperity by croaeing the Saluda about Wyse's, would increase the distance seven or eight miles at least; and it would also run through a considerable scope of country that, comparatively speaking, is already provided with railroad facilities by means of the C., C. & A. R. R. To come by the direct route from Edgefield to Newberry would be to tap the Meeting Street, Richardson ville and other sections that are now far removed from railroad facilities, and are among the best sections of the county. A road tapping this sec tion would have practically no com petition. .' If the map issued by the State ag ricultural department is correct, it is the same distance from El gp field to Newberry as to Prosperity. .This be ing so, we do not see any good reason for makiDg Prosperity the objective point from Edgefield, as some contend for. Should that be done, and New berry thou ld come iuto the matter, she would have simply to build a branch road from Newberry to Pros perity, a distance of eight miles, whereas if the road come to Newber ry by the direct route irom Edgefield she will have to build ten miles. Newberry is the objective point. Considering thecountry through which it is to pass, the distance to be trav erscd, and the importance of the place, there is no doubt to our mind that it should come straight from Edgefield lo Newberry. Up to a few days ago we had not ox ti mi ned the io ap ol th? aaa a try carefully, a-.d had only a general idea of its topography. We think most persons not biased by self interest, who will examine the map and study the different routes, will arrive at the same conclusion. Against Free Tuition. Action of thc Representatives ot De nominational Colleges. Greenville. Daily News. A conference of the representatives of the denominational colleges of this State who were selected by the trus tees of those institutions was held at the residence ol Col. James A. Hoyt, editor of the Baptist Courier, on Thursday night. The following gen tlemen were present : For Erskine college, Prof. Hood and Representative R. R. I ?mphill, editor of the Abbeville Medium. Wollard college, Dr. W. W. Dun can and Representative W. K. Blake. Newberry college, Senator J. A. Siigh and Prof. C. W. Welsh (deputy for Dr. G. W. Holland.) Furman university,Col. J. A. Hoyt, editor of the Baptist Couria', and Maj. E B. Murray, of the Anderson Intelligencer. The conference was in session about three hours and discussed the State college thoroughly. The sentiment of the members was finally given shape in the following which was drawn up and unanimously adopted : "The members of thia conference, representing the several denomina tional colleges of South Carolina, hereby declare that we have no op position to the existence and main tenance of the South Carolina university, and would favor any ap propriate action of the board of trus tees to make it a university of the highest grade. "Resolved, That we are unaltera bly opposed to the existing feature of free tuition which prevails in the South Carolina college, because we believe that it is wrong in principle and injurious in policy to use the tax ing power of the State to afford col legiate education without charge to those who are able to pay therefor, by which the college is brought into unfair competition with the other col leges of the State on a basis other than their relative merits of excel lence. " Resol red, That we favor the change of the act regulating the tui tion charge in the State university so that the minimum charge for tuition therein shall be at least fifty dollars per annum." THE GREAT CYCLONE.-The News and Courier states that all former es timates of the damage by Tuesday's cyclono must be increased by the re ports still coming in, but takes the cheerful view that the result will be a very decided boom. Laborers of all kinds are now eagerly sought and employed at any prices they ask. Tinners and slaters are getting $4 and $5 a day and more than they can do. The fisning fleet is almost en (irely destroyed, and stories of new wrecks are constantly coming in. The loss of life so far known is eleven, four of the killed being colored wo men drowned at Rantowle's ferry. The others are sailors, two of whom were white. Repairs to buildings, shipping and wharf property are in active progress. Much damage was done trees and monuments in the cemeteries, Mag nolia Buffering especially. The Gallant 7th. A REUNION AT NINETY-SIX. Enthusiasm Over the Battle-Flag. Address by Gen. Bonham.-Inter esting Letters, and a Good Time Generally. From thc Abbeville Messenger. No Regiment of the State Volun teer troops during the late "unpleas antness," has a better record than the old 7th, composed of citizens of Ab beville, Edgefield and Horry counties. Ninety-Six, being a central point, a reunion of this regiment was held there on Friday, the 21st August, and was well attended by Abbeville and Edgefield survivors, considering the short notice that was given of it. A reporter of the Messenger was pres ent, but is largely indebted to the courtesy of Adjutant John H. Huiet, of Bateaburg, S. C., who was Secre tary of the meeting, for many of the facts reported. The meeting was called to order by Col. E. J. Goggans, of Edgefield, the last commander of the Regiment, and Adjutant John H. Huiet, of Bates burg, acted aa Secretary. Prelimi nary to the transaction of any busi ness, Adjutant Huiet presented to the survivors the last battle flag of the Regiment, which had been entrusted to his keeping after the Regiment had disbanded in Virginia. The flag shows hard service, having been pierced many times by balls. There was enough of it, however, to stir up the enthusiasm of those present, and as it was again unfurled to the breeze, it was received with a regular Con federate yell. To show that the sur vivors had not forgotten their train ing, Capt. J. H. Brooks was appoint ed to rally the men around the flag, which they did with great agility. The meeting was opened with pray er by Rev. G. W. Bussey, a member J of the Regiment. A call of the rolls showed that the following survivors were present : Name. Co. Rank. T. S. Henderson, K.

General Bonham said briefly, he had no speech prepared for this inter esting occasion; his time had allowed him to come simply to meet his com rades, survivors of the gallant 7th S. C. Vol., and encourage as far as he could the organization of their pro posed survivors' association ; it is a laudable object and he trusted it would succeed ; he alluded to the gallantry exhibited by the 7th, with the rest of the Brigade, in preparing to receive the enemy at Fairlax C. II., on the 17th of July, 1861, aa their bayonets glistened in the sunlight in their ad vance from Flint Hill upon our posi tion, and of their disappointment when they were to retire according to General Beauregard's plan, instead ol receiving battle; tho cause had been lost in this case, but the principles for which they had contended wouid last forever; why lost, it does not now become us to enquire; but it was from no fault of the soldiers of the 7th and of their comrades of the South, who exhibited a fighting quality nev er surpassed; that the State should give pensions to the families of those who fell in battle or died in the line ol their duty, and for those survivors who were disabled by wounds or sick ness received in the line of their duty; he hoped they would perfect their organization and that we may meet again with the surviving comrades with Generals Kershaw and Kennedy present, whose engagements had pre vented their being present lo day. Short, 8piiited speeches were made by Col. Goggans, Capt. J. II. Brooks and Capt. W. E. Cothran, all of which were enthusiastically received. The survivors had invited Judge Kershaw and General Kennedy to be preeent with them, but both were de tained at home. They both sent let ters to their comrades, and aa they are too good to be lost, we produce them in full. Judge Kershaw's Letter. CAMDEN, August ISth, 1SS5. Co'. E. J. GogganB and others, sur vivors of the 7th Regiment of S. C. V. Comrades: Circumstances prevent me from enjoying the pleasure and honor of meeting with you on the occasion of your reunion at Ninety Six, as I had hoped it would be my privilege to do. I cannot refrain, however, giving utterance to a few thoughts which occur to my mind in connection with the occasion, as not wholly inappropriate. The annals of the Seventh have never been writtpn, though indelibly impressed upon the tablets of the past, by deeds of unsurpassed heroism and devotion to the sacred cause in which you periled life, and all that renders life dear, save honor and truth and God given right. Yours was one of those regiments first organized under State authority, to sustain the assertion of sovereignty -the first response of her youthful and chivalrous sons to the call of their I mother, standing among the natiors of the earth, a free, sovereign and in dependent commonwealth. You witnessed the fail ot Fort Sumter, and supported, the ?unB which impelled the surrender of the heroic Anderson, there receiving the baptism of fire. You were among the foremost of the regiments to rally to the call for aid from the old State of Virginia, mother of States and of Statesmen. You ehared the dangers and the glories of every great battle fought upon the soil of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsly vania. You planted your bloody Hag far in the front on the plains of Chickamauga, and dyed its turbid waters with the blood of your best and bravest. You shared the disasters, and endured the sufferings of Longstreet's winter campaign amid the mountains of Tennessee, and crowned your splendid career as sol diers at Averysborough and Bentons ville, amid the dying throes of th6 Confederacy. Let me say, as one who has the right to speak, that your no ble record has never been stained by a single failure to perform the duty of the hour, at any and all hazards. Surely deeds like yours should find its chronicler. As I write, memories multiply and crowd the mind. Incidents and ad ventures more than would fill volomeB press for utterance. There would be no want for material for the historian who witnessed your achievements and your sufferings. But this is not the time or the occasion, nor mine the pen for such work as that. It must be left to some less busy brain-to i some more accomplished pen to per- ' form this grateful task. Let me men- ; tion a few facts, to which your hia- ? terian may refer. Your regiment numbered when it entered service in Virginia, I pre sume, about one thousand men, Of these the statistics show that you lost in battle six hundred and f-izty men at the following places: Malvern Hill, 2officers and38men. Savage Station, 2 officers and 80 men. Maryland Heights, G officers and 107 men. Sharpsburg, 1G officers and 124 men. Fredericksburg, G officers and 55"' men. Chancellorsville, 13 men. < Gettysburg, 18 officers and 92 men. Chickamauga, ll officers and 72 men. Knoxville, ll men. Bean Station, 4 men. In skirmishing, 1 officer and 2 men. Total GOO. \ In the battle of Chickamauga, the j entire strength of the regiment pres" t ent for duty, was 32 officers and 245 men. Of these, you lost, as I have said, eleven officers and seventy twe^ ? men. This record includes all the engage ments up to thc WilderneBB campaign. In that campaign, from the Gth May to the 25th June, 1SG4, including the bsttle of the Wilderness, Spottysl vania, South Anna and Cold Harbor," ? with the intervening skirmishes, and ' the defence of Petersburg to that date, your losses were 1G officers and 150 men. From the 28th of July in the Valleys to the 20th of August, 18G4, when we encamped at Bruce town, you lost 12 men. In the skir mish in front of Strasburg, October 13th, you lost ll men. On the 3rd and 13th of September, 1864, your, losses were G men. At the memora ble engagement of October 19th, that day of glorious victory and disastrous defeat, your losses were 3 officers JUMB 47 men. I regret to have to add thatT I have no iurther reports of your losses in battle. The total of your losses which I have given above is 904 officers and men, out of a regi- ? ment o? a thousand, with other bat tles ol' which the casualties are not known. Many of you, my comrades, bear upon your bodies marks of this noble struggle ; Borne of you, maimed and broken, are doubtless in penury and want, and men are found who forget your sufferings and sacrifices in behalf of your native State, yet your ' names are written on the rolls of im- > perishable fame, and the generations to come will bless your memories and emulate your noble deeds. Lives like yours are not lived in vain, for some where in the future, Eternal Justice must provide meet compensation for all you have done aud suffered for-' your native land. Wishing you many happy re unions in the coming years, with the best of jj the blessings which the future may' have in store for our people, I aro with great affection and respect, your frieud and comrade. Jos. B. KERSHAW. Afier the reading of this letter, which was received with applause, Capt. John Lyon ofF/n-ed the follow ing resolution, which was unanimous ly adopted : Resolved, That we, the survivors of ' the Seventh Regiment, State Volun- j teer Troops, have a re-union once a ? year. That a committee composed of ono from each company be appointed, whose duty it shall be, to appoint the time and place of meeting, make ar rangements to have refreshments fur nished, and if possible procure some one of the survivors to deliver an ad dress ou the occasion. The tollowing was the committee appointed under the resolution: L. N. Bland, Co. A; S. J. Davis, B ; Capt. John Lyon. O; Lieut. J. L. Cunning ham, I) ; Capt. James Mitchell, E; - C. K. Henderson, F; Capt. J. H. Brook?, (j ; Capt. Henry Addison, H; . Lieut. William M. Parkman, I; Wyatt L. Holman, K ; John C. Rhenock, L; Cafit. A Bonknight, M. The following sub committe on ar rangements and invitation was nlso appointed: Capts. J. H. Brooks, John Lyon, Wade E. Cothran, J. C. Wil liams and Col. T. A. Hudgens. The time agreed on for the perma nent organization was December 10th, 18S5, at Ninety Six, at which time it is hoped there will be a large gather ing of the survivors. There being no further business the meeting adjourn ed, and the survivors sought some thing for the inner man, mine host Turn<r serving dinner to many of them.
