Cotton in this county is making an awfully poor out of it this year. Mr, Charles Muller has just re coived a now lot of jewelry of various styles. He invites a call from purchasers.' A gentleman at Ridgeway is eating Irish potatoes now from eyes plant., ed last August for a fall crop. The ground-was: so hard last fall they had to wait for spring. But he has first class potatoes now. Never was a day, whether a na tional or a State holiday, more gen erally observed - all over the State than was Thursday-the time ar po'nted by Governor Hampton as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The places of business all over the State were closed as thoroughly as if it had been Sunday. divine service was hold in nearly all the churches, and a general spirit of thankfulness and gratitude seemed to pervade the whole people. As will be seen by reference to our report of Legislativa proceed ings, Prince Martin was admitted to his seat in the House , on Friday last. .We learn that the vote where-, by ho was admitted was almost unanimous. The ground taken by the majority was that he had not yet been 'convicted, of. bigamy, and to eitlude him on ex parte test'.. mony would be to prejudge his case. While we think it wouid 'have been better to defer action, ydt we yield willingly to the jdidgmen't of the committee and the House--in whom we haive every confidonce.. The report of the committee, we would remark, was upanimous. The Augusta Chronicle and Con stitutionalist of Friday says : "Mr. Rogers, of the Georgia Central Railroad ; Mr. Raoul, of the South western ; Gen. Alexander, of th~e 'Western Railroad of Alabama ; Col. Bridgers and Mr. A. Pope, of the Atlantic Coast Line ; Captain De 'vine, of the Wilmington and Weldon and Major Anderson, of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail road, met at the office of the super intendent of the Georgia Railroad yesterday for the purpose of making arrangements for a fastcr schedule between New York and New Or. leans. It is proposed to reduce the time four hours,the trains arriving in New York and New Orleans at seven o'clock in the morning. The train from the north wvill reach Augusta at four a. m. under this schedule." MATTERS IN BIDGEWAY. :How Thanksgiving Day was observed Marriage bells and school festivals - - Filshermnan's luok, &e.,* &e. IrDGEWAY, May 26.--As you gave space in the columns of your paper for my last communication I will send you a few "dottings" from our town to-day. Thanksgiving Day was strictly ob served by the citizens all stores and public places were closed and all regular business was suspended. A large congregation assembled at the Methodist church, where the Rev. Mr. Munnerlyn held appropriate services, and delivered an impres sive sermom fronm the 14th chapter of John. In the afternooni the Hampton Rifle Guard exercised in the squad drill. At night, the Methodist church was lighted up for hymeneal purposes. Mr. Keller Morrison, of North Carolinas, was united in the holy bands of matri., mony by* -1ev. Mr. Munnerlyn, to Miss Mattie, (daughter of Mr. E W. Ollever of this place. After receiv% ing ihe anngr~tatih. of frinds1 the bride and groom with the im, mediate relatives and friends of the parties repaired to the residence of the bride's father for the marriage festivities. Long may they live, and may the fullest measure of happiness and prosperity be meted out in the future to the happy couple. All day Thursday the beaming countenances of our people wore indices of the fullest realization of the redemption of our State, and a determination, by observing the day, to gratefully acknowledge the pre-eminent services rendered by Gov. Wade Hampton in accomplish. ing it. Friday morning was ushered in by "Boreas rushing on his wintry wings" from the nor'-east, breathing dark and threatening clouds, and the presence of the wind god from his "nor'east rocky .eaves" made fires necessary for us sublunary crea tures. A number of the young .men of the place had agreed to indulge in piscatory enjoyment, and not daunted by the wind or weather, they walked to a pond four miles off and drained it. After much ex ercise and pleasure, the declining sun admonished them to "homeward wend their weary way." Hotch potch had been made of the fish caught, and upon their arrival at Ridgeway it was agreed to make a "fair divide" of the victims of their day's sport. Each of the disciples of Isaac Walton got from fifty to one hundred fish, but as the fish varied in size, it was determined to make the apportionment by weight, and the pro rata share of each accurately told was exactly seven ounces. A party, however, returning to the pond to-day, caught over a bushel of the finny tribe. Last night an intellectu al and pleasant entertainment was given by the pupils of Mrs. Simmons. The school-room was filled with ladies and gentlemen, and for two hours the audience were delightfully enter tained. Where all did so well, it is. hard to diseriminate,but I cannot omit mentioning the compositions. The treatment of the subject matter was good, the style beautiful, and the reading excellent. The tab leaux were as good as the best I have ever seen, and the dialogue, "The Fountainof Oblivion"-(if I may so speak ; it was more a recitas tive tdbleau virant than a dialogue,) was quite attractive. We were sur prised to hear that the participants had only one week's training and cane to the conclusion, that Mrs. Simmons has as much taste and talent in the arrangement and tact in the management of affairs on suchucasiQns as succesq in teach ing the young idea how to shoot. We all anticipate a delightful time on next Tuesday night, the time appointed by the ladies of Ridge way and its environs to have a Hot Supper to aid the Hampton Rifle Guard, of Ridgeway. A good thmg you may be sure it will be. ,SENEX. Attention I Eifle (Jonupany. ATTEND a business meeting of the ACompany in Town Hall to-morrow, (Wednesday) night at 8:30 o'clock.
