PB1DB OF^DUnnAW, THE PLANTERS' WAREHOUSE has Bent the Watchman Omeo iour origioal packages of Pride of Durham Smoking Tobacco, manufactured by Z. J. LYON & Co., Durham, N. C. Our kind aod liberal friends seemed disposed to malee the whole office smoke. THE GROWING CHOP Of this seotion ia geuerally . promising The late raies have brought up.a second staod of cotton, which will give tho planters some trouble. They arc DOW, too, engaged in mortal combat with Gen- green. The General musters a strong forco and will make a stubborn fight ; but the war is to tho death, and his myriad host? will be slaughtered OD many a field. Geo. lazy is also present in some strength, io support of Geu green. . > "COOL" XHEAT.1IENT. Our friend, Dr. J. S. HUQHSON, sent us, from his Family Grocery, the other day, a box of ioe. Wo dont object to acts of cold kindness, whoo they come in this shape. We have learned that it is tho inten tiou of the Doctor to keep ice for bale, regularly, during the sum? mer, at u moderato prioe. We doubt not he will be liberally patronized. "BITING.'* A case of veritable, matter of-fact, "biting," occurred iu our town, 00 Thursday last, between two colored men of the masculine gender. WILLIAM DOBSON actually bit off the nose of PAUL REARDON. The "noseless" individual was taken into the drug store of A. ANDERSON & Co., where his olfactory ptotuberaoce was restored to its natural form and locality, lt is hoped that it will "stick," and that thero will be no more such to reo ord soon. "Let doga delight to bark and bite." Gen. M. Ol "IJUTLER, ot Edge field, has received and accepted the appointment of General Slate Agent, for South Carolina, of the Carolina Life Insurance Company, o| Memphis, Tenn., of which Hon. JEFH&SON DAVIS is the President. This* C?uipany will be represented by a moal'aglnt ac Sumter, and our friends wijl have an opportunity of securing policies. It is bused upon solid capital, and the name of JEFFER* SON DAVIS gives it a wider range of popularity aod greater strength thai? that of any other Southern Company. COLimBSA F BM ALB COLLEGE.

RienAiiD II. ANDKRSON, 1st Vice Pied., L. M. A. lien AH?) D. LEB, Seo. MAIMON. MR. EDITOR :-Wo have just conclu led a pleasant visit, of a few days, in he town of Marion, S. C., ol quoudum icinory, situated on thc Wilmington nd Manchester Railroad. Tho pnpulu ion is about ono thousand, and thc olitical condition better than in some titer parts ol thc State. Ry un effort io white voto predominates, though ke other portions of tho State, hut little iterest is taken at thc polls by thc hiles. There arc two papers published in io town, the Star and Crescent. Thc inner flourishes, tho latter is tempo trily suspended ou account ol thc lute tsastrous fire, which consumed so largo rid im poi tant a portion of thc towt), ho office, press and typo of the Cres ml wore consumed to the amount of ?out three thousand dollars. Rut thc iterprising publisher, Siducy E. Mc [ il Inn, is already in a new office, with steam power press, and will soon ratify his long list of subscribers by nu trly issue. Success to tho Crescent I id may she reappear, niter thc fiery -deal through which she hus passed, ?astcncd aud improved in all the swee: inabilities at.d virtues of lile, shedding br soft gent?o rays of light, ns she oves on' her mission of glory mid >OfulD0S8. Tho population of Marion has in? cased considerably since thc war, arid ic heavy losses from thc Into fires will urcely stop tito progress, as already portion of the void spaces have boen pplicd with new buildings, and thc omise is, that tho wfiolo empty area ?ll soon bo filled with new and im oved buildings. There aro in tho town two colored and roc white churches. Tho lutter are rcsbyterian, Baptist and . Methodist. Ito pulpit of thc first is filled'by Hov. H. Dunlop, the second by Rev. Mr, iee,'and last by Rev John A. Porter, nose efforts to i tn pro Vc his people will it be without fruit. Thc Methodist lurch in Marion, with nil her losses iring the war, is, in material means, e of tho strongest in tho State, and th her wealth, n corresponding liber ?ty, her energies iu full pluy, and thc tole field under culturo, hus it in hoi wer to reap an abundant harvest. Tho Sabbuth School is a most pntonl Btruroont-is large and interesting d how cac it bo otherwise under itu rcction of such men as Maj. J. R N mhet, Superintendant, und .Maj. S. E c M il lan, who lends the singing. As another grand auxiliary, thc lurch of Marion needs a total nbsli noe temperance organization, wilji st ult and juvenile department, AO as tt odueo a healthier publie sentiment or e usc ot'alcoholic stimulants-this wi ?ard SS a d?ciderai ii m. The school taught here by W. Il ?throw, Esq. aud Rev. Thomas M itch I, after years of usefulness in flail mmunity tn the culture of tho young uptains an unrivaled popularity, am w 'numbers more thao a hp nd rei pila. You can form some opinion of th umeroial status of Marion, when yoi i informed that the Dumber of bale cotton passing through the hands o e merohants ia about three thousand d through the depot much larger.
