the result of accident.
The Hotel is covered by insurance to the amounl

Minute Men in Greenwood.
At a meeting of the Greenwood .Minute Men,
on Saturday lust, u subscription list was opened,
and six hundred d<.IUrn subscribed ill a few rnin
uteu, towards the purchase of arms, if necessary,
for the company and for other pur|>osc6. Should
the State fail to provide arm* and equipments,,
for htr Minute Men, this Company is resolved
to arm themselves in I lie defence of their homes
and institutions. The Silver Grays, (honorary
members of the corps,) were among the foremost C
Bud most liberal in this patriotic duty. 1
The Greenwood corps i? now fully organized, i
and numbers more than sixty effective men. A
HEW HEAD?CHANGE OF NAME.
"With the pieeelit issue of our paper, we
have donned a new head, and assumed the
nsftie of "The Abbeville Press," instead of
"The Independent I'rcuH." The new name is,
we'think, equally euphonious, and in other resDects
nref*rftlil? i? *
, ... ?..c uiu inline. It flC61gnates
our "local habitation," and associates us H
I
10 name at in f*ptT with the District with
which we are identified in interest, and 1
to whose liberal support we arc so much indebted.
Tho time honored name of '*Abbe- f
ville " is one which no sonct^faer* would willingly
withhold frc'm hi* escutcheon. , '
Th?? condition of our paper was never more f
prosperous, and we trust that in assuming the 1
iiaiuc oi "Abbeville." we will have a.constant f
reminder of past favors received, and of the
present duties which we owe to our nectiin.

with a gentleman who brings cheering news j I
from the Executive* of the above State*. Gov. a
Partus, of Mttsissippi, on thereceipt of the new* '1
of LiKpout's election, will immediately con- i
vene the Legislature. The Disunion vote will r
k* overwhelming. The Governor of Georgia t
will call for a large appropriation to arm the
State. Gov. Moodk, of Alabama, will innne- ?
<Jint?ly issue writs of election for a new Legis- r
jlatufw. In -Louisiuna it is thought that the i
Disunion movement will prevail, and Florida 1
is sui4 to consider heraelf in advance of South i
Carolina. We have do fe?rs of Southern co- i
operation. The cotton States at least must be <

THE NEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The Ceremony of the Consecration of the

i of the Church commenced on Friday previous.
' and on this, and the succeeding days very ahle i
and excellent di.-courses were delivered by the
Bishop rind the. all ending Clergymen.
On Sunday the Chureh was crowded to its J
utmost capacity, and the exercises were of the i
most interesting eharact.ei*. Tli?- morning sor- j i

offices of tho Divine Recdeenier in the Kcon- j ,
otny of Salvation, ? ? the Author and Finisher ; 1
of the Christian'* Faith, Hope and Eternul j I
Happiness. The Sermon would have done j (
credit to nny mind in the State, nnd contained |
many passages of great beauty and eloquence.
Mr. Harnw-ll bus a fine person, und eloquent
eye. a t?ood voice, and n graceful and inipres- v
hive delivery, ^tnd finds no difficulty in com- t,
manding lite undivided attention of uu au
dienee.
At. niglit after an admirable Sermon from the
Ivcv. Win. B. Howe, the Kite of Confirmntion (
wiis administered l?v the Bishop, and a very interesting
and impressive discourse was delivered
l>y him, in behalf of the Scriptural nnd c
Apostolic authority for the Ordinance. 1
The Church is u beautiful Gothic Stru-furc. a
