S. C.. egimett. Cotonel H. is at home-on
arl ,and is l6oking well, CossiderFing the ordeal
througwbich he has lately passed
-ees'ary Sspension.
Weregrei the necessity whith forces- upon us
a. *mporary suspnxion, of the Hegld. It will.
be but for a few days. we. hope. In the mean
tivae, should any. important news be brougbt in
an extra willie issued. . No mail going out Iront
here for an indefinite time, Rr 1he -exctement
prevailing, consequint upon -the surrender, to
gether with the transit of troops through this
town, aInd the lack of anything like news of a
reliable character, are the reasons assigned for
our suspension. We trust that in a short time
quiet will be -restored, and qur people, know
what is expected of them, and what is-to be
done, and that business will-be restored.
Baid on the Greenville Train,
The particulars we learn are as follows: the
up passenger train of. Monday, was.stopped
withip a half mile of WVlliamsto, 1y a* party of
raiders, suppoed to be Kirk's. Immediately as
the command was given, th. train was stopped,
andsas the engine was. rersed, the train was
toed upon, but fortnntely no qpe -was injured.
Asveertained, there were,but fiftWn men seen.
Watd1es were called for and soon changed hands.
The trair- was then fired, and together with- the
engine towlv consm'ed'. We regret to learn
that our'Postfnster, Mr. S. Kinard, Gen. Super
intendent, J. B.TAssalle, gngiieer Jones, con
ductor Walsh, baage master Brazil and Messrs..
Burns, Seigler and Jack Wilson, were captured

by them. Laurens we are told was not injured,
the depot was set On fie by some drunken fel
lows but the fire was extiauished by the raiders.
It is sid that Green-vile &istained no injury by

P.eTIseNC.- This is eminently the period when
alclasses should mutually assist and eneourage
each other:. A geniero us spirit of forbearance is
worthy of~ cultivation, and a little patience, at
the sa;ne thne, cannot but redound to.the welfare
of a.h The distracted.state of -the currency is a
ser-atus evil :mnd must entail some suffering. Still,
this is not immdedicable, and we are to know that'
moveu,enIts are on -foot. to aileviate.anythuirg like
di tress or privation' amo'ng:. the masses. ?
wealthier citizens are contr uting and will con.
tute to contribute lib-rilI The- Government
store hiousecs are being emnptied of their -contentsF
to succor our returuing braves... The City- Coun
cil will, in a few days, issue change notes1 whichj
will rapidly. gjow-int neral circulation. In a
word, a wholesome system- of rlilef is being
inaugurated which cannot fiil to- bear abundant
fruit. . All tha*tis necessary to maintain peace is
a cheerful ,deterniiation on the part of those who
have provisidils to assist those who need; upor
the pairt-of the needy to reciprocate the good
feeling maifested'for their benefit and support.
We looi forward to a healthy reaction before
m.any da;ys have elapsed, and in the ifiterim, beg
oar fellow citize"is to have faith, hope and
O.arity, especi;illy the'greatest of ttrese, which
is 0HARITIL.-Auyusta Constitionalist.
EVE AND MAH 06uMpAaD.-The most ex
traordinary women that ever appeared in this
world were, unqestionably Eve, "themother*
of all I;ving," and Mary, "the mother of.Jesus
Chfist." They. occupied respectively the high
est stations, and'the most; critidal points of
time that ever fel6to 'the lot of nortalA ; -and
they exhibit an instructive contrast, Eve
lired at the begin-nin, and Kary at the "ful
ness of time." Eve saw the glories of the
new made world, after Creative Wisdom had
pronounced ib "all very good," ond before sin
had tarni..hed its beantv and disarran-d its
La-mqnies. Mary beheld it. rising from the
ruains of the fall; at the m*ment.of its renov -
titn and at the dawn of its happiest day.
Nve was placed in the most glorious and con
ipicuous $uation, :and fell -into a state of
ineairiess and degredation. Mary tras of low
station, hut was raised, ly a signal appoint
et of I-ovidence, to the highest eminence
B'Ve was accessory to the ru-in of
nstruiientalIn the birth of-lutz jiho cafme as
.h Rest+rcr and Savior of mankind. Evebe
ield the fatal curse first take ellect, in over

pirit o4- tie aniinal ciention, disordering the
aunan f'- ire, and ultimately destroying it

oe which fil up the tragedy of humatt life.
!fary witnessed the beginning of.tbat long se
ries of blessings which divine love has for ages
:ispensed to man."through the redemption'
Lhat-is in (hristJesus," and which will:even
Lually replenish the. cup of existence with
unn,ingled sweetness and perfect joy. Eve
witnessed, v4th a trembiing consciousness of
guilt,.th- awful descent of those mighty "cher
utims, andYa flaming sword kibich turned eve
ry way, to keep;-the way of the tice of life,"
and which were pa,ed'at the "East'nd of -
the Garden of Eden." Mary, with feelings of
ecstatic rapture, beheld -te angel Gtbriel
standing before her, with.tbe smiles of heaven.

messenger.
