We wish it much success. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage recently delivered m\ address in Philadelphia on the "Absurdities of Evolution", in which he said that evolution is out-andout infidelity. The Central Railroad system of the State promises ta damage the "City by the Sea". Our esteemed contemporary, the Neves and Courier, in an editorial, promises also that the city will stand quietly by and ask the Richmond & Danville system to fight its battles. A pamphlet has been recently received by Secretary of Slate describing the persecution of Christians in China. It is hoped by showing these persecutions that Christian governments will make some provisions for (he protec tion of missionaries of that country as well as native Christians. The Most Reverend Michael Augustine Carrigan, of the Roman Catholic Church of New York, is to be the successor of the late Cardinal McCloskey. He is a legatee and one of the executors under the will of the late Cardinal, which has recently been filed for probate. Warrants for the arrest of six other parties charged with complicity in the receut lynching in Edgefield have been placed in'the hands of the sheriff. The j two who escaped from jail last week have not been recaptured, but it is believed that they will surrender thera' ?c.lves in a few davs. The terra of the United States Su- j prerae Conrt was formally opened in I "Washington on Monday at noon, but | soon after was adjourned to call upon j the President. They have been dis-! posing rapidly the busit ess of the Court for the last year, but is still about three years behind in their work. .fRESIDENT l/JL?V?.i*AJ>ilS Will lv New York to cast his vote for the Democratic nominee. It has been rumored that the President was not interesting himself in State politics, . bat the report is denied, and facts "' show that he is anxious for the success of the Democrats in every State. The Greenwood Light, a new paper published at Greenwood, S. C., conies ~. to us for the first time this week. It is a bright, newsy sheet, and dese>/ves the support of that community. As the head would indicate it intends to throw "light" to the surrounding country, and if the first issue is a fair sample it will accomplish all it desires. Asioxg the distinguished divines who T\nir1 tmtknfn frw tho <*harflr?fpr r?f n&rfli dtiWUkV l?v VMV ? - w nai McCloskey on Sunday were Dr. Morgan Dix, of the Protestant Episco" pal Church; Dr. Crosby, of the Presbyterian Church; Dr. Storrs, of the . Congregational Church; Dr. Robert Collver, of the Unitarian Church; " Henry Ward Beecher, of Plymouth Church, and three rabbis. A western journal suggests that a1 National Grant University be established in which as many students will be allowed from each State and Territory as they have representatives in Congress, and that $10,000 be apropriated for each proposed stndent. With such a programme it believes the money will be forthcoming from the States and Territories for the purpose. An exchange says: "Ex-Representative Stevens, of New York$ who is dow in Washington, is confident of the re-election of Governor Hill. He says that Hill will poll the full Democratic vote and will be elected by a majority of from 40,000 to 50,000. Judge Maynard, second comptroller of the treasury, concurs in his estimate, and says thai very few Independent Republicans will endorse Cleveland by voting for Davenport as the Mugwump newspapers wish. He also says that the working men will return to the Democratic ranks. The Democrats of Ohio are charging gross frauds to the Republicans in the recent election in that State. Three Democratic clubs of Cincinnati have passed resolutions in reference to ^ ? Vv ? ? tta Kaa?\ aa?rtm?f f irauus aucgcu uatg Utcii Wiuuimw by the Republicans of the city and have subscribed $7,500 to aid in prosecuting the offenders. Sherman and his crew will now have an opportunity to speak of "frauds committed in their own State, and it is hoped that it will occupy so much of their attention that the South will get a little rest. William S Werxer, who, it is alleged, secured most of the funds of Grant & "Ward, has been called upon for a showing. Receiver Johnston, of the Marine Bank, has been investigating his dealings with the bank and claims that "Werner illegally obtaiued money from Ward, which was due the TJT Aim AM niaAny?Atv^ KJmeolf f A .UiUiil* TT ClUCi OUUCliU^iV/U liiUiCWii wv the Court and is prepared to give bail in any amount that may be required. Some light may be thrown upon the transactions of Grant & "Ward from this investigation. The Washington correspondent of the JViws and Courier has written up the family misfortunes of Nellie Grant for the benefit and amusement of the readers of that excellent paper. The writer tells a good deal about the mean, bad and low habits of her hus band, Mr. Sartoris, ana aoouc now tne good people of Washington marvelled at her choice. The present difficulty between them will likely result in a separation?maybe a regular divorce. The only delay in the matter is caused by their disagreement as to the disposiiion of their children. The affair has' nia? created considerable sensation in Washington society. Mr-. .Sariori- is considered an admirable woman. : The special accountant of the Navv ! Department, who for some time has j been investigating the accounts of that j department, has discovered so many j irregularities that it is rumored that a number of courts-martial "will be ordered for some high officers of the navy as soon as the investigation is . completed. In a number of instances it will be shown that officers of the navy have acted in collusion with favored contractors and have lived in , a style that their legitimate means , would not warrant. A change of par- j ties is desirable if for no other reason ; than to ferret out the rascality of the : preceding party in power, and Demo- j cratic officials are going ahead in their j exposure?, although thev strike high , officials iu some instances. ! The Savannah Morning News of a . recent date has the following to say on j duelling: Public opinion overwhelmingly con-' demns duelling, and the number of those who advocate or defend this relic i of barbarism is constantly decreasing, i The time when men tried their causes , by the ordeal of battle, or by walking over red-hot ploughshares, has longI since passed away, and duelling willj soon be among the customs of the past , in all intelligent countries, ine idea ; of turning a question of veracity, or ' any kind of dispute or snarl, into a | question of courage, cannot long sur- 1 vive in this age of grogress and com- ! mon sense. About~the only question a J duel can settle is the fact that the par-' ticipants in it have less regard for the enlightened Christian sentiment of the day than for the promptings of a misguided and foolish pride. As civilization advances men realize . that it is a relic of barbarism, and that! ' ! it is no test of courage to resort to this ' i mode of settling petty difficulties. The county convention of the New , York County Democracy met on the ; 12th iust. After the routine business j was transacted, commissioners from Irving Hall and the Tammany Democ- j racv were received in the convention, < i and after stating their errands retired, j The County Democracy declined to j take any interest with either of the! UWJCl ui guui?uuuiiO) ttiiu a ic?uiuuvu that it was improper aud inexpedient to have any conference with any other convention was adopted. The committee on resolutions informed the convention that the differences between the two factions should be decided by the voters of New York city. They struck the key-note when they said that "constant deals and disgraceful trades between rival conventions and their favored candidates should cease." ; There is nn donhf ns fo deals in the : citv of New York, and it came near i - ' I | losing the Presidency at the late election. It is high lime that their differ- J ences were settled, and it should be j done within their own lines. To set-! ; tie them in any other wav would re-1 salt in the defeat of the Democrats at! the approaching election. The following extract from the Phil- j adelphia Times shows the inert-use of: manufacturing in the South for the | past nine months: The increase of manufacturing enter* ; prises in the Sonth is remarkable. The new enterprises organized during the first nine months of the present year, taken together with the enlargement of old plants, will empl.oy an aggregate capital of $52,386,300, In this list Kentnky leads off with a capital of $14,005,000; West Virginia comes second, with $9,644,000; Maryland third, with $6,107,800, and Alabama fourth, with $5,864,000. The growth of the South has been marvelous for the past five years. The increase in railroad mileage since 1S79 is 11,000 miles. The assessed value of | the property of the South, not includ- i ing the Iarse capital invested in inanu- i factoring enterprises, which is chiefly ! exempt "from taxation, has increased I ?900,000,000. The production of corn j has increased fifty per cent, in that time, and that of oats seventy. In j cotton mills the gain has been a hun-1 drcd per cent., and in cotton seed oil i mills tv\o hundred and fifty per cent, j A like increase has been made in the j production of coal and pig iron. These specimen facts, illustrative of j the idustrial activity of the South dur- j ing the last five years, which activity is greater at the present time than ever, j aliows that the war is over in that sec-: liUiij Wiiait'VU ^uiui^iu ^v/iuiviauc j tnav claim to the contrary. The South has quit fighting and gone to work, ! and. at the rate it has been making j progress during the last five years it j promises to become as prosperous as ' its great natural resources will allow, ! which will be very properous indeed.} Every genuine friend of the Union < will rejoice at these unmistakable evi-1 dences that the South is at last on the ! high road to the development of its great possibilities. The Times seems to take a lively interest in the DrosDeritv jof the South. and loses no opportunity to speak well i of its progress and the people. This i is saving considerable more than \vn ! e I could say of a number of other North- j crn papers. TIse South Carolina University. The discussion which has been rroing j 1 ou in the newspapers of the State 011 j the subject of free tuition in the South ! I Carolina uouege nas evicientiy ucne-; fited the institution, as we note a1 phenomenal increase in the patronage,' which we believe is due in great part j to the advertising which the papers on j both sides have given to the College, j The roll shows an increase of thirty j per ceut. over last year's number. I There are now one hundred and eighty-1 four students in attendance and the j indications are that this number will j be increased to two hundred and j ! twentv-five before the session closes. ; The people are beginning to realize j | that this College is not rnn in the in- J ; terest of any particular das?, and that j j the sons of the people of South Caro- j 1 lina have an institution in which they i i can obtain good educations. The up- j I country has been very liberal in her ' patronage. We notice the names of > six Fairfield boys on the roll and would be glad to see the number doubled. ; Richland, of course, is expected to, i head the list, which she does with ' thirty-two students. Spartanburg, one | of the anti-University strongholds, makes a good second with her sixteen 1 students. Kturk-Kaisiii'' i 11 South t'arolina. The Pendleton Farmers' Society has ; just closed the exhibition of fine stock, of which mention has already been made "111 these columns. From all accounts the exhibition must have been a errand success. A large number of blooded horses were exhibited; also a tine collection ot the most noted strains of blooded cattle. Many specimens of Jerseys, Guernseys, Ayrshiresand IIolstein cattle were put up at public auction and sold, the owners pledging themselves to take the highest bids and not to bid in their own cattle, thus giving the farmers an opportunity to buy tine cattle at low prices. Many availed themselves ot the opportunity and a new impetus has been given to stock-raising in that section. It would be a blessing to Fairfield if some enterprising body of men would organize and set on foot such a movement in this county. There are thousands of acres of laud in this county bordering on the rivers which traverse and bound it well set in Bermuda and other forage grasses and which are ; now uncultivated, and if utilized would make Fairfield one of the richest counties in the State. All that is n3cdcd is tor someone to take the lead,; when lie will find a host of lollowexfi in this enterprise. The bottom lantH on AV'ateree River, which bounds the j eastern ana uie uuituius ui uie jDiuau, which bounds the western portion of the county, could be made to pasture thousands of cattle, yielding a handsome income to owners. Why Xot { The Xews and Courier, as well as a number of other papers of the State, have seen fit to criticise the actiou of Lieutenant-Governor Sheppard in consenting to represent the parties arrested and charged with the recent lynchiug in Edgefield. The News and Courier, cnooL-itiir nf mnftpi1 covc It fs within the range of human events that he should be called on to consider and determine an application for pardon or mitigation for sentence on behalf of his present clients or them. The very forcible question presents itself?shall a man be compelled to give up his practice in the criminal courts of this State simply because it is in the range of possibilities that he may be called upon to determine an application for pardon of the parties so charged, and clients? "We can hardly think this an objection to Mr. Sheppard for defending any client he may choose. It is in the range of human events that any man who lives within the borders of the Palmetto State may be called upon to determine the application for pardon of any violator of the law, but how any reasonable man can conclude from these facts that this would be impropriety in the practice of his profession we are unable to see. It is possible that any man in the State may be called to the gubernatorial chair, but we eannot conciude that he should be disbarred from criminal nractice for this reason. As far as wc arc concerned we see no objection to him representing these criminals, for will not the same objection be raised in the trial of any criminal? The Triumph of Hate. The republicans have made a clean sweep in the Buckeye State, and Ohio returns to her first love. It was, though it should not have been a surprise. It did seem as if the election of Hoadlcv was morally certain, and that the Democrats had an even chance of winning Sherman's scat, in the National Senate. And then, too, the "Grand Old Party" fought a live campaign upon an issue all of us thought dead and buried beyond the power of resurrection. We had a right?it was our duty to believe that the ''bloody shirt" cry was ro longer potent iii the North, East, South or West. But not so. Sherman, Foraker and Company flaunted the bloody shirt in the face of the Democracy and nation, and announced to the world that the Republicans of Ohio would ask the suffrages of the people on that account. That they would live upon sectional animosity and grow fat upon ft-atricidal hate. They asked of the people a verdict for tbem--and quite handsomely (?) did they respond. Hoadley is relegated to the shades of private and professional life, and the amiable (?) disciple of peace and good will (Foraker) is elevated to the Chief Magistracy of a great and prosperous State. The Legislature is Republican, and Luc oioouy sniri auuereuis win cave a majority on joint ballot, and John Sherman has secured another lease of Senatorial honor, dignity and emolu^ ment. If Ohio can stand him and h? motley crew, South Carolina can. Ir Ohio prefers a rekindling of State and sectional antagonism she is at liberty to enjoy the fruits of her folly. It is, however, a source of profound 1 .1 _ A L il.* _.?? - "1 regret tnai we must 111 uns era 01 goou feeling and prosperity witness such cowardly, petty and contemptible evidences of narrow illiberally and small minded hate. But Ohio must be responsible for her own actions. South Carolina, despite every discouragement, will continue to move along her highways of progress and prosperity? her citizens will continue to discharge their duties to the State and nation, and if auspicious omens lie not, better and happier days, days of good will and years of national peace, await the Republic.

History of ihe Command, from the .Organization to the Battle f Seven Pines. The following extract from Genera] OilLllUii nuiirudd ai tuc iaiu icumuu of the Sixth Regiment is published at the request of survivors: My Comrades: You have selected for your reunion this year a spot hallowed to us by the life-blood of dead comrades, and on which the blood of mauy of us still living was freely poured. Tfte committee in extending: your invitation to be present with you here, did not, in accordance with the rules of your Association, designate the subject, but left it to my discretion I need not say that the place of meeting settled that question, and I shall avail myseir or tnis occasion 10 meet an obligation long felt and perform "a long deferred duty to the officers and men of the Regiment that I had the honor to command on this bloody field. I shall endeavor to tell the story of yonr achievements in the battle: of Seven Pines, as it would have. been, told in my official report of that aotion, had it been in ' my powerJo.have2refl- . tiered tliat report. jlsuc qeiore cincr^ing upon that story, it is a melanfeholy pleasure to be able to say thatbneof the truest soldiers and most .distinguished fighters developed by the war felt the same obligation, and only a short time before his death expressed unqualified admiration for your fighting 011 this field, which he was pleased to term "unsurpassed", and his intention, even at that late date, to put on o rtn aP lnef'oa trliof i US ail avu vi juobiuv it uuv . uv knew of it. He, too, failed to make any official report of this battle. It is needless to say that I allude to our Brigadier General, under whose immediafe direction we fought that day. If anything could add to our regret for i the loss of our brave old commander, this loss of his direct testimony would, lie had seen and done so mucih hard and effective fighting that there was 110 higher authority on that subject than the modest, genial gentleman, but bold and intrepid soldier, who in an army unsurpassed in chivalric courage and in the dash and skill of its officers won for himself the soubriquet of "Fighting Dick Anderson". ; . In order to make connection with the interesting paper read at your last reunion, which ended with tne complete reorganization of the Kegiaieht at Yorktown, it may. not be amiss to recount briefly our withdrawal from that place and our slow but weary march up the Peninsula. It was our misfortune to be moved from the portion of t.he line occupied bv us to relieve Col. Kemper on the night before the withdrawal. This move deprived the entire command of that night's rest. We were on the lookout for an attack upon our position all t he next day. About sunset orders we're received to move tne command, except the pickets, back to our camp onihe road at dark and to instruct the officers of the picket line to withdraw at nine o'clock and follow the Regiment.' Our pickets joined us before we left camp. It was therefore some time atter nine o'clock when we started on the march for "Williamsburg. "We wercoiuifrj^d all -night and at sun?MM|?HH|9B^elves weary and exHfch ("name forgotten) mmsamm distant from our short rest, we proceeded on our weary way to Williamsburg, reaching before sunset a camp beyond that place, at which our commissary was prepared to issue rations. Rations were issued; some of the men were cooking, others overcome by fatigue dropped in sleep almost when they were halted, when we received urgent orders to return at once through Williamsburg to meet the enemv. The Regiment was put in position near Fort Magruder and picketed to the left of the fort that night. Early the next morning the battle began in front of the fort. ?' -at seven or eight o'clock a. in. the Regiment, with the exception of three companies under Lieutenant Colonel Steadman, which were sent to occnpv a redoubt on the left, was j._ xi__ 1T? inoveu 10 iue rear ui jpvu magiuuci, where it remained inactive, bnt under the heavy artillery fire which was directed against the fort until aboutone o'clock, when a cannon ball came skipping down a road to our ieft and rear and bounding over our line buried itself in the side of the fort. This was Hancock's announcement of his arrival at that unoccupied redoubt on our extreme left, about which so much has been said?and so little seemed to be known, by us at least. I was ordered at once to take position in the edge of the pine grove skirting that side of the fort. On reaching the designated position I saw the enemy advancing upon a small redoubt in rear of that occupied by Steadman. Seeing the peril of the situation to Steadman and his little band, who would be lost if the redoubt in rear fell into the hands of the enemy. T marte a dash for it. Steadman. too, seeing- the danger, sent a little detachment across to the fort and to cover their passage across the field nnder heavy fire at short range, threw out a , - - ? ?? ? HBMBHBBHHHHHHMHBBHHIHHBIHBHHI line of skirmishers from his redoubt; i put iney were snojccieci to so uesrructive a fire that he very properly with-. drew theni. This I saw as we were changing over the open field. Our-, movement attracted the attention of the enemy, and to some extent relieved the gallant little detachment (led by Capt. Brand) from that artillery. Tort?A r\i?AT?Ar>fArl thn AnAfn*' fi?Am gciiiv;* ? piwvv;iiic.u twu uvui seizing it and checked his advance. He withdrew his line to the crest of a hill from which he had advanced, and remained there inactive with the exception of a little sharpshooting, at which we played a poor hand with our smooth-^ore muskets, until about five p. m., when Early's Brigade passed over us in a wild, rushing charge. As Gen. Early passed mc I informed him that I had held those fellows in check all the afternoon, and asked him f/\t* ?j nla/^p in fhp chororp Ha fiecpnfp^ 1 told him that some of my men were in the redoubt. He replied: i4Take them and move against the enemy. Just then he was shot. A little necessary attention to him and his horse, which became unmanageable, caused a delay of a few moments, when we moved ont and advanced against the enemy. We got within two hundred yards of him when I was recalled by 'Gen. D. H. Hill, who ordered me to move by the left flank into the woods. Thinking that an attack was to be renewed rrom that quarter, when it ought to have been- made in the first instance, I continuQd with the troops orders sent ihcAOaKralnl^b^that nothiiig more I started for the^HHP^P^Waring that it was occnpieJ^n*etnrned to the position on the edge of the pine woods to which I had been ordered when we left Fort Magrnder. Steadman alst? moved ont of his redoubt, but returned to it when'the assault was over. I1 learned afterwards that my leaving the fort was commented upon in a spirit of censure, but it was contended that it would not do to censure an officer for going towards the enemy. I, however, was prepared to acknowledge the error,., as 1 saw the confusion such irregularities would create,and it was the first and last time that. I asked for a place in the picture. While we did no heavy fighting in this battle, we were under fire the whole day, and I do not hesitare to say that our checking Hancock's flank movement saved our frionHs fi-nm rlicnctpv nnssihl V from defeat. For four hours the fate of the day may be said to have depended on us, and it is, perhaps, fortunate that Hancock did not know what a slim line fenced hitn off. If this view be correct, there is at least a set off agaiust my error.in leaving the redoubt without orders^ in the fact that I occupied it without orders and thereby rendered efficient service. The next morning we resumed the march through mud and slush, slowly ana wearily, ana contmuea irom uay to day, sometimes as rear guard, until \ve reached a church about seven miles ~beTow Richmond, when we rested for some days. I can re.call ,no hardship and fatigue that we endured throughout the war, greater than that of ihe withdrawal from Yorktown. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. A Virginia Farmer Killed by a Young Man who had Killed a Fellow-Student at College. . Wm. M. Brown, a prominent citizen of Staunton,. Va., was shot and killed in the rotunda oi'the fair grounds on Thursday, by Stuart Kernel*. The triurder has caused intense aitnotign Subdued excitement. The killing is .regarded as. dastardly. There lias 3*aen ah old <rrudge between the two jinen. Kernel- had declared That he .intended to kill Brown on sight. They met in the crowded rotunda at the fair grounds, Brown's wife having hold of one arm and their little child the other hand. . Scarcely a word passed when Kerner placed his pistol almost against Brown's body and fired, the ball entering two inches below the heart. Kernir was at once arrested and hurried to jail. Brown was taken into the open air where he died in twenty live minutes. The news flew like wildfire through the large crowd, and in twenty minutes tiic feeing tonnd vent in threats of lynching. The mayor ordered a military guard around the jail. Brown was aii energetic and prosperous young farmer and was generally liked. Kerner is a member of a prominent, and wealthy family. When at college some years ago he killed a fellow-student iii a quarrel. After a long trial he was acquitted. His friends claim that his mind is unbalanced, and insanity will be the plea of his defence. ___ ?Better stop your cough while you ca.li.
