The pressure of hard times was very evident from the exceedingly low priecs of property. The principal sales were made on very easy terms, cash enough to pay expenses of sale and costs, the balance in one, two and three years. The sales were as follows : * One tract of land o57 acres, M. Uaum purchaser, 81750.00; one tract of sand hill land 200 acres, W. M. Shannon, rPrn?fn<> fop Creditors nurchascr, 8100; tract 201 acres, J. 13. Kershaw J Trustee for Creditors, purchaser, 8795; ouc tract 200 acre?, W. 3\I. Shannon Trustee, $1100.00; one tract 200 acres, bought by the same party, $500; one tract 02} acres, woodland, same purchaser, SO 00. About 2,400 acres of sand hill landi soiric of it very good, brought $1275.00 It is very evident that thero is no market for real estate, at this t:mc, as the same lands, a year ago, would have brought twice as much. The Sheriff sold sorno mules and horses, under mortgage, at very low prices, from $50 to $100 cash. The Fireman^ Hail. -1 Tills pHy unu lessiivi; luituuiuiuvin which was to have Lceu had last week, hut was postponed on accouut of the weather, and which was to have certainly taken place ou last Tuesday night, but was not by reason of the rain, seems destined to be kept in abeyance for some considerable period, from the same causoi?but, as we commenced to say, on Tuesday night, we seized our umbieila and overcoat, and sallied forth to the ball, although Jupiter lMuvius seemed to be chrouicahy weeping or in a maudlin state of imbecile hysterics, so Continuous tbe pouring of the rain. It is needless to say that it was dark, for the first thing wc knew, our "umberil" became entangled with somebody's ditto, and after a severe and hand to haud conflict, we emerged with the handle and a piece of the rib of our's, with which wc pursued our way. After wading through what seemed to be inland seas, wc saw a light at tlie IIall, and heard dulcet strains of music from the Fame localitj*, but upon arriving at that point we learned that there would be uo ball, hut let not our brave firemen be discomfittcd, for as they some times get ahead of lire by means of water, they should not object to the water getting ahead of them oecasiouall). Turn about is fair play, the world over. Wore High-Hamletl Tyranny. Although stripped of nearly all that once was ours: though inured to op. prcssion and accustomed to every species 'of tyrannical legislation, wc arc thankful to say that we arc still free to express our opinion, as well as shocked to find that the calendar .of iniquity is not yet exhausted. We refer to the ousting of Messrs. Ilough and Evans from their scats as Representatives of Chesterfield, Reformers; and seating LittlcGeld and Siuglcton, Republicans. The majority report was favorable to Messrs. Ilough and Evans, aud stated that "there was no intimidatiou used, and if there was, it could not have been to such an extent as to alter the votes polled." The miuority report, submitted by Jervey, Whippcr, Lcc and Levy,! states that intimidation was used, and go on to say that a supplementary report which was filed by the managers of election at one of the precincts, was uukLOwn to the law, and therefore that the Reformers should be ousted. Was ever such reasoning or such logic used ? Can not any one sco that this supple, mentary report with its accompanying affidavits, was an after thought, and got up for the express purpose for which it Ins been used ? Can any be so blind as not to perceive that those who made this minority report knew when they made it, that it would be sustained in defiance of all and precedents 1 Three members of the House, Ilepublicans, entered a protest on the journal, saying that they voted "no," en the resolution to seat Littlcfield and Singleton, as the Hoard of -fcltcto canvassers had decided in favor of Messrs. Hough and Evans, and the committee on privileges and elections was equally divided in its reports. They also say fr that they would have voted iu favor of or a new electioD, inasmuch as they be- ht licvcd the election was proven to be dc illegally carried out. b} It is surmised that tho "Spartanburg fe delegation will meet the same fate. All th this has Lecu done on strict party priu- ci; ciplcs. We will recollect all this when fc the wheel of fortune rolls round and co drops some of the filth and corruption ci which clings to it now. We will of affiliate with a party that upholds such su actijns, won't we ? g< in ' Philomath." Our correspondent ''Philomath" desires to hear our views on the subject of a reading room, to be established in Canulcu, by the youug men of our community. # While we cheerfully comply with the request, we feel great diffi- Va dcnce iu expressing an opinion, not m that it will carry great weight with it, eS but because our experience in such m matters has been limited. 1>~i *~ ....Ami T?? flio firct. nlnrtf>. ^ -L> 111 IU UtUCUtU. xu %n w u?. ? vc we cannot inuster more than twenty young men, who would embark in the enterprise?we would necessarily . be compelled to rent at least two rooms, which would cost at least, per annum, $100; a man to keep it in order, and so on, SGO.OO ; lights, fuel and writing ur materials, $100; furniture, (chairs, m tables, <kc.) $50; ten first class journals e3 and periodicals, $100; sundry other expenses, $25; making a total, per au- ^ num of $435. 1 ' * si< On an annual outlay on the part of each member of about twenty-two dollars. The next consideration, is, sc whether or not, with the sum of $22, gs each member of the club could pur- St chase more Irain food, and digest it P' w J better in the quiet of his own holue circle, than in the club-room? The third question, is, what would it; the paternal or maternal ancestor, or p;1 the connubial partner, say to the pro- , posed arrangement ? ? The fourth and most weighty oonsid- st cration, is, whether the young men arc -.1.. ?/. ftnni.A nt-Attn onm ^ |IO(.'injliU II \ uuIU lu rpaiu iuvukuiv auui dow iu this time of ruin aud poverty? ^ We would say that a man of family |0 could ill afford to do it, sinoe twenty hi two dollars would keep Lini in shoes P( t ll for a year, or buy a suit of clothes, or ' pay some of the numerous items of ex- c] peudituro which are absolutely neces. ti sary. * m But wc would like to hear the matter ^ -hi discussed in detail, aud offer our col- ^ umns to any one interested. We are ? always ready to hear argument, and do ta not oppose conviction." Probably, "Philomath" may again drive his quill g1 iu favor of his proposition, and provoke an interesting discussion.

Its contributors bi are mostly Southern planters of large ei practical experience, such as Aiken, ot Pendleton, Graves, Jones, Wilkes and aj Bergmans and other equally familiar m names, and contributors from abroad ti arc very distinguished men in their c: special line, as Drccr, of Philadelphia, a< Dodge, of Washington, and Commis- C sioncr llivet-Carnac, of British India, re The present number is no exception to w the rule.

The article is copied from the Livt >ol Circular of Alex. S. Macrae, ai rect reference to the groat Southe iple : "The cotton-seed oil of the Sout n States has a great future before cond only in importance to the < intic petroleum trade of the Northe atcs.

LrcadstufFs [j ' were a little steamy, but tho confidence pjii was almost entirely on the side of the 10 sellers, and the amount of business real,jp ly accomplished was not very large.? nt On Cotton, however, the course of the jeg market was most surprising, even to the jlc most persistent "bears," the position int showing no strength, and closing with jje sales almost impossible, except at a 3t decline, aud the trade generally simply jie astonished at the continued magnitude jjt of the receipts at the ports, the nggre l0 pate to-day reaching about o(i,uuu bales. In_ On Coffee and sugar holders were a js little more * confident in view of small aj_ stocks at present available, and the )e. probability that Europe will soon call aj for increased supplies. A little time 3g may change the affairs in some instanjj ocs, but speculators for a riso have ceru, tuiuly not met with the success antiei' pated immediately upon peace in EuI rope becoming pretty well assured. er ;y. | Hail IIoad from Columbia to in i Sumter.?The Columbia Union save: st,: We are informed, by good authority, ?that the rail road now in process of con???mill iml hii l? m i struction between thia-city and'Sumter, will be pushed forward with all possible dispatch, And that it is the intention oP those controling it, to have trains on the rood before mid summer. This is good news, if only true, as we trust it is. Col. jUridgcrs is a thorough rail road inau, and when he once fixes upon a thing ho generally accomplishes it. This road will bring Sumter within two hour's ride of tho State^ Capital, and will open up for settlers much good land, now comparatively worthless, on account of its inaccessibility. Property in that section ought to increase in vaiue very materially, just as soon as the first evidence is manifested .that trains will be put upon the road. It is a long, round-about way to Sumter by the present route, and vrc are not surprised at the small amount of travel from that quarter. A Valuable Sandwich?At St, John's N. B., a few nights ago, there was a very happy gathering of the members and congregation of'Leinsterstreet Baptist Church. The Teleyrnph says that a very fine supper, embracing all the requirements of the appetite included between cold turkey and hot coffee, was prepared. Grace was said by the pastor, llev. W. S. McKenzie, at half-past seven, after which a blue rosetted committee of eight young gentlemen passed the refreshments around among the seated ussembly. A little girl, Miss Ida Gerow, carried a sandwich to llev. Mr. McKezie, which looked suspiciously thick, and was constructed with more than the nunnl nnmhnr of larpra A namir nn the first layer bore the inscription, "A sandwich for our pestor, from his loved and loving people." Beneath the first slice nestled four co gold pieces, which were duly pocketed; another slice, and there a 350 piece, and another slice revealed another SoO bill. Tho recipient was too full for utterance?ho could get the cash to his pocket, but lie could not cat the sandwich. The Demoralization at West Point.?A Washington telegram,, dated the 22d instant, says : The House Military Committee today considered the testimony taken liy the Sub-Committee, at West Point. It is very voluminous, covering over six hundred pages of manuscript and exhibits a sorry state of demoralization among the cadets and officers. The ringleaders in the l.?te mob who drove away two cadets, in the night were young Grant and young Townsend, son of the Adjutant-General. .The Committee will print the tastiraony, which shows that the officers were a* fraid to enforce discipline for fear of offending the parents of these young i men. There will probably be recommended several dismissals of both cadets and officers, as absolutely r>e' cessary to preserve the morale of the institution. i in wg?? ? i ii i tm MARRIED?On the 9th of Jan., by J.
