Tiie Daxcixg School.?We are j pleased to announce th.it Miss Thompson, encouraged by her previous sucu s. will continue her dancing-school lor another terra. In the session just ended Miss Thompson has given entire i satisfaction, and we have no doubt her j 7 j j pupils and patrons will continue to be ; pleased. i m J ! Fixe Potatoes.?Mr. J. W.

Mr. Powell suggests that in j j grabbing potatoes, the right way to do i j is to take from only one side of the j plants, all along the row. and then j come back on the other side. In this j j way the plants are not killed, and a J much larger yield is secured. ! Sad Bereavement. ? Miss Emma ; Perry, a daughter of Mr. Thomas J. | Perry, died at her father's residence j on Thursday last after ten days' illness j i of typhoid lever. Iler remains were : i interred in the family burying ground j j at Bethel chuvch.

Teacheks? Association.?The teachers had a very pleasant meeting on Saturday, about fifteen or twenty being present. President Corlev presided. The Rev. Mr. Vann and Messrs. m -1 "1 ~7 l.. A iurnipseea iiuu were eicuiuu members, and Mr. J. W. Kennedy was j elected a visiting member. A number J of mathematical "posers" were pre-! sented bv different members and dis- ! i cussed: also the subject of diagram grammar. By request Mr. E. M. ! Davis gave some information regarding the State Normal Institute to be held in Columbia, and Mr. Vann spoke forcibly of the advisability of all the I Faii-field teachers, being in attendance. The next meeting was fixed for the third Saturday in June, and Mr. R. M. Davis was requested to make a farewell address. The meeting adjourned for refreshments, and a delicious picnic was partaken of by all present. If outsiders knew what admirable house- j keepers the lady teachers ax*e they j would be very apt to attend. Busixkss Education.?We call spe-! cial attention to the advertisement of J the Busiwess College of Messrs. Brv- j ant, Stratton & Sadler, of Baltimore, i Md. This institution was founded about eighteen years ago, and in all this period it has maintained a very high reputation. Its object is to prepare young men for the active pursuits of commercial life. With this view the subjects taught are, commer cial arithmetic, science or accounts, penmanship, banking, book-keeping, and commercial law. Each department is under the charge of a competent professor, and every student subject to the constant supervision, at the same time receiving the necessary assistance, of the instructor. Large numbers of young men from the South, as also from other sections of the Union, have received a business training at this institution, and thus laid the foundation for success in life. The College is well worthy of a liberal patronage, and, we trust, will continue to receive it. The Extra Session.?The following is the text of Governor Hagood's proclamation calling an extra session of the Legislature: Whereas, in consequence of recent legislation of the Federal Congress the j State of South Carolina will be entitled in the United States House of Representatives to two additional members to be elected before the next regular session of the General Assembly. Now, in the judgment of the j i Executive, in view of the above recited i | fact, an "extraordinary occasion" has j 1 arisen which requires the General j | Assembly to be convened in extra ses- j Isionr thernforn. T. Johnson TTacood. | Governor of the State of South Caro! lina, by virtue of the power vested in I me by Section 16, Article 3, of the i Constitution of the State, do issue this { my Proclamation directing the honorj able the Senators and members of the ! House composing the General Assemi bly to attend in their respective legis: lative chambers 011 Tuesday. June 27th j next, at 12 m.. there to take into con- j ; sideration the matter hereinbefore re- j ! lerred to. ! ? ! | A "Wanton Oltkagk.?The Colum-; ; bia Yeoman of Tuesday last gives the i j following account of a recent desecra- i i tion of the Hebrew ccuietery in that; 'city: "Yesterday afternoon Mr. M. j j II. Berry, one of our undertakers,: I went into the Hebrew cemeterv to pre! pare for the interment of a child, and discovered that a number of slabs, j i monuments and tablets had been over im inn* uivM.il anu uiuvi M JJ*V; iiijiiitu* j The fact wa? at once reported to Mr. Theodore M. Pollock, President of the( Hebrew Benevolent Society of this ! city, who, in company with others. repaired to the ground, only to witness a sickening siirht? a deed worthv onJv i * * * i of a ghoul. 2sot less than twenty ' stones were found either broken or overturned." Among the graves dose| crated are those of Gertrude Wolfe and Isaac Saling Wolfe, children of | Mr. and Mrs. Saling Wolfe of this . . : , place. On Wednesday allenioon John Lane, a white lad about nineteen years of a^e, was arrested, and he confessed that he threw down the tombstones. Xo motive can be imagined for the act. and it seems to have been done in mere wantonness. Lane will be committed for trial. A Rei.xc.?Col. Jas. II. Rion lias in his possession the original of the following" highly interesting document: Ix Camp near Tiiixity. X. C., j ?rth April, 18Go. Received from Col. Jas. II. Rion.

The figures above will give some idea of the decimated condition of the Confederate commands at the close of the war. Five regiments aggregating :>G1 men?an average of about seventytwo each?will give some idea of the smallness of numbers on the side ot the Confederates when they were overpowered by the Federals. liOSE-KEEL CONTEST.? JU1C incmucrs of the Steam Fire Engine Company engaged in a friendly contest on Friday afternoon. Those participating were divided into two squads under the command of Directors J. 11. liardin and T. II. Ketchin respectively, eacli numbering thirteen men. The conditions agreed upon were as follows: 1. Fach squad to run two hundred yards, with three hundred feet of hose, unroll one hundred feet and attach the same to the engine?time to be called when pipe is attached and connection made with the engine. 2. Not more than thirteen men, including Director, to run on each squad ?provided that the same number of men shall run with each reel, and that all shall start with the reel. 3. Hose couplings on carriage must be made with not less than three turns. 4. The order of running shall be de cided by lot, and neither squad shall have a second run. The starting point was in front of the residence of Mrs. Jas. B. McCants. Messrs. W. G. Jordan, J. D. McCarlev and Jno. S. Reynolds were the judges. A toss was made for the choice, and Director Ketchin winning, he chose the last run. Director Hardin's squad were soon ready, and at the signal from President Huey came tearing down the street like race horses. They did excellent running, but showed their skill particularly in uncoupling the hose and attaching the pipe. This they did in a style that would have done credit to veterans. When the pipe was dropped, to show that the task was complete, the judges announced the time to be 47? second? This seemed hard to beat, but Mr. Ivetchin and his detail manned the dragin good spirits. The President waved, and No. 2 came down to the engine in less time than it takes to tell it. They uncoupled and attached to the engine in excellent style, but, unluckily, lost valuable time at the other end?in uncoupling to put on th<i pipe. They scored the work in 51$ seconds. Had they not lost time at the pipe, they might have won the race, as they made the ran to the engine in about six seconds less than their competitors. When the result was declared the winners and their friends were of course in high glee. The losers were naturally a little downcast, bnt resolved to carry the day next time. IXSPECTIXG THE GORDOXS. AVery Creditable Display-General Manigault Expresses His Gratification, and Pays the G. L. X. a Handsome Compliment. Friday morning was the time fixed by the Adjutant General for the inspection of the Gordon Light Infantry. 'A f inn nVOnr-L- tlio frirnnnnv vv.n form IA,U V V"V'N"* W1JV/ vv...r?..; " ed on the west side of the court-honse, there being thirty-cue men, rank and file. After the call of the roll, Captain Jordan took charge of the com pan v, and several movements were executed in handsome style. Wheeled into line, facing the Adjutant General, the company came to "present arms", and the customary salutes were interchanged. The command was tiien marcnea aown Congress street a short distance and marched back in column of platoons, passing in review before General Manigault. In this the Gordons presented an appearance that would have done credit to regulars. The step of the men was regular and exact, their carriage steady and erect, and the alignment was preserved with remarkable precision. Returning to the space in Congress "t* fi'Anf fl?n am* i* lioll flirt ?li vvi in IIVIIL LIJV iv/n it tuiiij ui^ company wheeled into line and hailed for inspection. The ranks were opened, and the inspection was made by General Maniyault. The company were then manoeuvred for some time by the captain, and did very handsomely. At the close of the drill, General Maniirault made a short address to the men, expressing his gratification at the showing they had made, lie said that . the proficiency snown by the Gordons 1 was superior to anything he had seen on any oi'his recent inspections. exj cept in Charleston?and there the men : had had exceptional advantages, having been long and consUui.ly practised in anticipation of their competitive drill. He expressed himself as pleased with ; the showing made by the citizen sol, diery generally, and hoped that when ; he should make hi< next report to the Legislature, that body would see the i ' necessity of making still more liberal provision in aid of the volunteer niili| tarv organizations. He said that he felt sure the Gordon? would continue to improve, and that if they should even make uo better showing' than they had just presented to him, they i would still deserve the highest praise. | When the General concluded. Cap ' tain .Jordan pronereu ro mm a oeaurii . ; fill bouquet, saying that it was a gift 11:> the Gordon Light Infantry from a i lady friend, and that he knew no more 1 suitable disposal of it than to present k to the Adjutant-General. The latter received the bouquet, saying* that he appreciated the compliment, but really his day was rather past for that sort of i tiling, and he would therefore request j t ie Captain to present the bouquet to i t'!ie handsomest man in his company. j Captain Jordan glanced along the line, ; as if to make the selection, when Gen 1 oral Manigault remarked that he feared ; the matter might excite jealousies in j the command, and he would therefore j keep the bouquet himself. Three rousing cheers were given for the 1 Adjutant General, and the company ! marched to their rendezvous, where j they were dismissed. It is a source of pride to all our citizens to note tlie fine condition of the I Gordon Light Infantry?of which | Friday's display was but one of many I evidences. \V*c congratulate Captain i Jordan and his men upon the success j of their efforts, and we trust their I company may long1 continue to be an J honor to Winnsboro and to Fairfield. | A LETTER FKOIT GUM St It IS G. ; Closing: School Exercises?A Good Man j Gone?No Greenbacks, but Plenty of Iier| ries. f o \ Tf- id crv tAl/lnm OV/.> O* *UCI ? ? ? IO "'V -7? IV4VHI i that we know a good thing that wc i must tel! it. On tlie evening ot' the eighth we were in attendance ot Mis? j j bailie A bell's school-room. The occaj sion was a very delightful one, being j : the closing of the school for the spring i term. When we arrived the entertain' ment had commenced, and much to i our regret we missed a part of it. but : : we saw enough to be delighted. A j stage. erected across one end of the : ! school-room, was very tastefully dcco- , I rated with flowers and evergreens. \ i Tableau-, charades, etc., were success-1 1 fully acted, varied with music from two amateur violinists, with piano j accompaniment. The large party of i the patrons of the school and the : neighborhood generally seemed to be perfectly delighted. The entertainment was certainly a grand success, and the energy and perseverance of: iiie moving spirits in this a flair. Another of our old and respected j citizens has gone. Mr. W. P. Broom t died the ninth of this month and was i buried at Bethel church on the tenth | by the Patrons of Husbandry, lie ! was a well known member of that j - orcicr. The crop outlook is very promising, ; especially small grain?better perhaps j than in years before. Cotton and corn , look well, notwithstanding the late j cool nights. Simpson's Turnout can boast of two j schools in its immediate vicinity, one white, under the successful management of Miss J. I. Smith: the other j colored, under the care of Mr. John Craig, Sr. You see we are teaching ail ideas how to shoot. We saw the registration commissioner on his way to the lower town- j ships one day last week, and the next! day ail the colored voters went to reg- ! isHer.-v Thut means that the faithful | intend to give ns a struggle at the next j election. We heard sometime ago that | I the Greenbackers had a meeting ap ; pointed for Gum Spring. The day j came around, but no meeting. We ; I would like to say that the Gum-I } spriugites know themselves to b& green, but don't back anything but a good old home-made Democrat, and don't you forget it! We were at Ilomnh Baptist Church AH vActni'floi' <IIW1 fie tlio l?nvr rP \\.r {Meilichnmp was concluding a very 1 able and interesting discourse, a horse, ; attached :o a buggy belonging to Mrs. 1 Kic.iardson, slipped his bridle and j dashed through the churchyard and 1 against a tree, which wrecked the : buggy, and caused a considerable exI citesnent. Fortunately no one was in j the buggy at the time, although it had : been occupied a short time before by a ! young trail and a little babe. The j accident might have terminated seriI i __ ^ i ousiy. ! My the way, ivc want to express our j satisfaction at the utter failure of the i election cases in Charleston; and we j don't know any better way than to i say, hurrah for Yotunans, Haskell and j all the rest who lired a shot in the fight! Our fruit prospect is good, and with j ! a good blackberry crop and not too j many candidates we are feeling hopeful at Gum Spuing. NOTES FROM TEXAS. Impressions of the People and the Place Made upon a Former Citizen of Fairfield. Del Kio, Tkxas, May 14.?'Thinking a lew lines from llie Far West would interest some of your readers, I will j try l:o tell something about this part of j Texas. Del ltio is a strange looking ! town; most of its houses are Mexican ! huts, built of sun-dried bricks and j ' i mud and straw. It is about one hun| dred and seventy-five miles west ! of San AitfonU) and one and a half ! miles from the Rio Grande river. The ! country around is mountainous and 1 A/I ti-ifk rtriAftip Cnonlfli rtfl/fflpatte | )> lux vaviuoj ^ 0^5^10 | and grass; no timber in this part of I Texas. No farming carried on, only a I little land near town that can be irri gated. It would be useless to try to | 0 ; farm, as it hardly ever rains here. Sheep raising is carried ou cxtcnI sively. Some men own as many as | thirty thousand, and from live io ten thousand is a common tiling: and it is I said to pay well. This, as other part? | of Texas, is crazy about railroads. : They have a large force at work now j building- a road from San Antonio to ! El Paso; and to give yon some idea of i the cost, the crosstiesare brought from five hundred to a thousand miles? j some from Florida?and cost one dolI lar and thirty-five cents apiece. They ! also pay laborers $2.50 to S-.7-5 per day, and will double their wages 011 ; Sunday to get them to work. Sunday is a big day in all those frontier towns, more business and all kinds of amusements going on than any other day. How can a country expect to 11nor with ? /liii-nrfrii-rl fm* fli'c li.?ly clay? But such is education. I dun't suppose these Mexicans thiiiK it a iy wronir. and I am sorry to say the Americans settled here are not much hotter, with a few exceptions. While stoppi-ig- here we concluded to pay a visit to Mexico, which weenjo\ ed very much. The llio Grande is a fast running. muddy river, with very hiirh and ' steep banks. The country on the Mexican side is ve / pretty; mountain ran ire after mountain ran ire showing men mim a> lai a> incite can Mie. Trains arc now running to this place, and about twenty-live miles northwest to Devil's river. The country in that section is very ru?r<red. and it is with iiroat cliliic.iltv that !he road can he built. Plenty of sucli as Mex L"i y.

In ' ' crowing the Leona and Fico river?, j j which are spanned by very line iron j bridge?, we did not see one drop of i i water. We were told that it was j | flowing under ground at this time of ; the year, but from the water maiks ! high up on the banks I could see that it flows above ground sometimes. A : g'. ntleinan remarked to me, while j crossing the Leona, that it had been I knowiH.o rise thirty feet in Ave min; utes when a waterspout burst near it ! some years ago, drowning all the sheep i and cattle in the valley. These wnter' spouts must be awful, from the deep : washouts we see here on the mountain 1 sides. With my best wishes for oid i Fairfield. I will close. S. W. Jackson*.
