Tho trains from Augusta stop at Columbia, and those from Charlotte don't comliof at all. We aro iifo'uned that a iegro girl was drowned last Friday while crossing -- Creek, in the neigh borhood of Ridgeway. S8he was walking the log over the creek, when 4he lost her footing and foll into the stre:am1 below. There has really beei very littlo coLton sold in Fairfield this ftd. Any nmber of peopl promised to pay their dues to TnE NELws AND HmIV,D, as soon ats they should sell their cotton. And as tlhy haven't paid us, we must presume they've not sold their cotton. Of course, nobody ever promises to pay for a ;uOwspaper subscription without promptly fulfilling the promise ! A SAn Acc im-Nr.-A very sad accident occurred at the mill of Mr. Thoimas Anderson, in this county, on Thursday last. A child of Mr. Chesley Matthews, aged about four years, had beei playi.ng ill tie mill when, inl some way, the little thing fell through into the water 11-low, aid was carried by the stiream-11 a distance of ab,ut two hun dired yards. H.Aere the lifeleFf body w.is found. Whether the child wlis k;illed by the fall or drowned, is not knowni. The probabilities favor the latter Faipposition.

"---This is the title of aL novel reccontly issue~d by ,tihe well known publishers, Claxton, Itomsen & Haffelfingor', of Phila delphia. It is called by its author "An American Story of Southern Life," and it is not inappropriately named. Tile scOD is l,aid chiefly in South LJauolina, anfd all the characters, save one or two subordi nate ones, are native Carolinians. .In this respect the book is a great imorovement on the works ttat usually find their wa' into South ern readers' hands. Most of us have beou regale1, in our novel reading, with descriptio's j, places ad perhojis essentially forign either of the North or of trans Atlantic countrici. Thero aro two objections to this. Such books tend to belittle, ill the minds of some readers, their own homes and associates, and to inculcate a depraved taste for thp foreign. In "Thirty-four Yearr" is drawn a faithful picture of Southern life and of some phases of Southern charac ter. Th scenes portrayed-chiolly the picture (if Cliistm on a Southern plantation-aro all vivid and homelike, giving the reader an imniodi.-te sense of their reality. The chineter of a true Carolina woman is excellently portrayed in Agnes Moore, the boroine of the story. Tho interest in the talo is not awakoned in the first pages, but grows as the different charac ters come on the scene. The love story is well conceived, and the reader is made to wonder all along how it will cnd-one of the chief aims of every good novelist. The incidents interwoven with it are all drawn from life, and are mostly based on historical facts-the early bAttles of the War of Secetision, the stto of i.s after Lee's sur r,iie, a dio th kiux troulcs in t'." 't.tC. 'TI-L faulft of the book are two--a somewhat redunmdant and too florid stylo of narrative; and putting into the mouths of very youthful characters words beyond their understanding and cP1veying ideas beyond their con I0cPtion. This latter, however, is a fault alnost universal in story books, and the reader's interest in "Thirty-four Years" is not much diminished by it. Altogether, "Thirty-four Years" is a nice little story, and its readers, w hen finish ing its last page, Will advise Henry AMaremont-for such is the nom de plume of the authoress-to give us something more. Of "Henry Marebmont" te .Edgefield Advertiser says: "The author comes by intellect and literary abilit.y most lawfully, being a desceondant, only one stop remov ed, of the old Nott fanily, of our State, which has given the South on0 of her most eminent judges, andl two or three of her most illustrious scientific men." The book has been favorably comme)nted on by the press-among them Pornevy's .Repubilicani, Phila delphia, which has this terse criti cism: "This is a well-written work, with the disadvantage of being a story of the late war." The "dis advantage" alluded to lies, possibly, in tile fact that the author gives the Souther-n side of tile story which F1ornfleyc's Rep~ublican :mntly not like to read. "Thirty--four Years" is for sale at the bookstore of Messrs. M.cManori & .Brice. Not ice to Tr'iespasser,.
