Nothing has truucpirf-d of interest In Allendale since o«ir last report, unless It is the exodus of * large part of our Israelite population, who It seems, are determined to find a refuge from the oppressive heat of n summer* sun in Allendale beneath the tree* of Beau fort. Our indefatigable townsman Mr. Ksphan, who b*s lived among us for many years and bss taken no little part In building up the town, la now regularly domiciled among the orange trees. Messrs Bennett, Woolfe and Harris, all merchants, will follow in hie wake. The realdaoce of Mr. Kapban, we are Informed, has been purchased by Mr. Henry Moody who has become quite a dealer and has made some profitable Investments in real estate within tbs last year. Speaking of shade trees reminds me that our vil lage is almost entirely destitute of shade, and in this respect far behind your own town, Mr Editor, which ie certainly a delightful retreat from the suns melting rays during the summer months. This deficiency it takes time to remedy and I think it high time to maks a move In that direction. Time % uaaided wlli surtly not accomplish it We regret exceedingly to wtrneee the departure of tbf* portion of our pop ulation (whose object was buelne»n aud not to fiiud i-hade we are well aware) for they have added in the past greatly to the business proepcil- ty of the place. Our u*w council have been duly In stalled fete office but as yet hate had no buslues* of Importance before them. If they succeed In preserving order and obedience to their ordinao- aooea it will he more than their prede cessor* were able to do and ft la said that the trial justice will be invoked to execute the law against law break- Ootton la still coming in, which 4e- tog sold to rasldeat oottoo buyers keep* a UtUe money always la droa- oar RtackvlUe. The even curxwot of a*l» la was suddenly broken on by the alarm of ory waa of tfca roaf of tka kitchen on the pramlaaa Jack Dennis.

Will somebody be kind eaoafh to teach os bow to Insinuate f Toe a** we are not too cH to learn. We notice that a pteasaqily K-catM dwelling on Dexter st. Is being nicely iu*d up and rejuvenated for the rs- cepUok of some new tenants We un- derstaod it is for obr worthy young .townsman, J. H Bulat, whom we un derstand before this reaahes the eye erf the public, la to taka unto himself a lovely oompaalon "until death do them part*’ Loag and happy life to them, and a cherry welcome to the the fair bride amongst us The town council of our town are making use of this proper season to complete the setting out of shade trees oa each side of *H the principal streets. Should they be fortunate in getting all that they have sow out to live, in affew yeara the streets will pre sent a handsome appearance all tbs the year round. The tree* used are evergreen oaks ■Idway. * No matter ii Midway WM the head and centre of the radical ring of thia county durino: the reign of Cbamberhiia A Co., aiuce that time all things have changed, »nd we rej' ice as much as any one tliai we arc to have a^ain from old Barnwell to pruaide over our circuit cut judge of (he eecond judicial circuit of South Carolina a real genuine Bourbon democrat. In order to be in time we congratulate you, Judge AWrich. yonr election, we think, being aare. We feel nsanrid that you will wear the ermine with credit to our county, without the slightest pi legibility of being trammeled by the Federal bayonets. Nothing of interest having occurred io our little town since last writing, I scarcely deem it neceasary to mention the fact that we arestill slowly growing ia improvement, thosgh there has been considerable improvement here sines the days of David Theo. Hines, the noto rious South Carolina highwayman, in one of hit letter*, written tome fifty years ago, he described Midway as a place with three houses, six women, three men, nineteen children and a church for all denominations—yet to be built. Since that time we have increased somewhat in population (especially in the childen line). There is in rapid progreas of erection a Baptist church, a flourishing Sunday school and quite a thriving bibls class. So mnch lor the moral improve ment of Midway. As to its financial improvement I am unable just now to say much., I believe there has been do oherHF* levy here though in some length of time, and the inhabitant- of Midway would scarcely lie reminded of the great strong arm of the laws' constant en circling of them, but for the occasional “oh yes, oh yes, all parties interested in this trial justice court,’’ etc. As to our county commissioners, they truly merit the “well done” of the peo ple, and if it was left to the people of this section they would term perpetual. The topic now is, can some measures be adopted by which tlie merchant can be secured in advances upon th# crop ? Can the mortgage of a thing “not in esse” be good, is the almost daily ques tion. The merchants are doing very little, the farmers busy preparing for planting, such preparations as ploughing, fence building, etc., the doctors are trav eling around pretty generally, but the lawyers • woe unto ye (poor) lawyers. As to the trial justice system ; would it not be better for the legislature to re peal the act relative to the trial justice system in Barnwell and not have the of fice a salaried one, let them make their feea as originally? I am quite sure it would be less expensive to the county. I have bsso informed that no trial justice turns over to the treasurer amounts to equal th< ir salaries. Lets begin reform St home, if mon«y saving is reform. The i Ur payers sre interehted in the-e ! and our representatives should 1 thoir interests. What thinks j Tux People ? 'vililstau On Sunday, the 27th Inst, Mr. Cuth- bsrt delivered at Wiiliatoo a discourse oo tka doctrine of a future etate in op position to the views promulgated from the WeetmUlater pulpit by Oaaon Farrar, which views have been reiter ated on this side of the Atlantic by the notorious pastor of Plymouth Church. Mr. Outhbert premised hla diaoour* by stating that a sens* of duty alone Impelled him to select a subject so pateful In Ms oontemplatiou an the fu ture destiny of tka flaally Impenitent; that In *Ww of utterances so unmis takably Mbveraiv* of divine revela tion, a* that anaouacad by Oaaon Mt eterieal adheres**, h* would ha recreant to hla to r stalked abroad clothed lath* things • ° look to a single expression ot asaex Uon, clear! r and expressly enuodated, Is eufflotect to determine the reality of any Jact or the truth of any doctrine. The words of th* text are plain and unmistaka ble. It la notbiog but bold aswertioo to affirm, as Canon Farrar does, that they are obscured by gloss sod per- v* rted by misioterprutHlion. There' they stand, and not one jo* or oco tit tle of their terror dare we qualify or reject. But there are certain doctrines, both in revelation and In morals, which will always be unpalatable to eoetc people, and there will be some so-called minis ters of God’s grace who will endeavor to pander to popular tastes sod avoid shocking tb* eeoelbUltlee of the re fined Worldling. He who day by day seeks only the gratification of hla sea* sual appetites, will ever be averse to any doctrine which tends to produce uneasiness. A little more sleep, a lit tle more slumber, a little more folding of tbs bands la the sum and substance of hi* aspirations. We can readily perceive that If all that la unpalatable sad uncomfortable lo God's rfivested word were to be eliminated from Its peges, the holy writings and the doc trines they contain would be narrowed down to a very small compass. The picture displayed here of th* awful destiny of the finally Impenitent la such that ministers of the gospel dwell upon It with reluctance, and the Christian shuns It aa an Intrusion up on that lov* of God and man which d»lly and hourly fills bis heart, but notwithstanding this reluctance, we are not justified iu avoiding to declare God’s revealed word. The text la a confession—a confes sion wrung from Dives, not from de crees, not from compulsory measures, hut emanating from a lost soul torn with anguish and preserving amidst Its own unutterable suffering a sentiment of affectionate consideration for sinful kindred, lest they also should share the dreadful destiny. There are two points undoubtedly established by this passage of scrip ture ; 1st. That there will be a place whfere and a time when the finally impenitent will be punished. 2nd. The nature of the punishment. There is nothing In this doctrine contrary to the laws of nature. A con tinued course of life perversive and destructive of natural laws, almost in variably leads to irretrievable ruin. The sease of retributive justice la Im planted in every human heart, whether Christian or heathen. In the case of Jonah, the heathen crew were Im pressed by their imminent danger wi'h a sense of tbe arresting band of some avenging power, which caused them to cast lot* for the expiatory victim. The savage Inhabitants of Meltta saw io the adder which fas trued oo Paul's hand an evidence of divine wfath for some ooexpiated murder. If this sense of justice Is indelibly engrossed on even hestbeo hearts and consciences, must we demur at Its promulgation by divine authority. The appeal to th# consciousness of every human being, except him whose whole moral natura has become petrified by a career of petsislent slufulness, whether there Is not witliiu his heart a deep and abid ing sense of retriliutivo justice for every sinful net. The faculty which men have of concealing their inward feelings and heart throbbing# cannot deceive us, for the inward agony as an experience common to all frail, sinful creatures. But who that has expe rienced the pangs of conscience, the agony, the many self-accusations, the sighs, the groans, the tears that flow from a sinful act, can say with confi dence : "There la no hell for the final ly Impenitent?’’ You and I may have a great deal of pity and entertain un feigned sorrow for tbs suffering sinner, but all our nlty and ail our sorrow cannot save mm from the lashings and soourglngs of an awakened conscience. Ou the second point, the nature of the punishment, we are left io np doubt. *T am tormented in this lamed* N<>r is this a solitary passage. The scriptures abound In confirmatory ti lts. “Depart from me, ye wicked, into everlasting fire prepared for the D**vil and hla angels. There oaa be oo doubt from the text that In addition to tbe'Jfe^ve pao- nlty here denounced af^^^^Htoers, there will be the reflect^^M?^^ of memory and the awful gt Aof a fully awakened anfl loappeaelbl^onecfenc* to aggravate the sufferings of the doomed sinner, and that the very pres ence of those we once loved and whom we may have corrupted by our evil ex ample, will be another bitter ingre dient In the torturisg potioo we shall have to drink. > The preacher concluded hla able dis course by aa earnest appeal to his bearers to ding to Christ as the only means of aalvatloo from a deatlay which it harrowed kls very soul to coo tern plats.
