Whooping cough and mumps have made their appearance, but as yet are confined to a few families. Mrs. Alfred Dunn has been confined to her bed for several weeks from a severe attack of kidney disease, but is now improving and it is hoped she will spon be well again. A small army of huntsmen from Columbia paid us a visit some days ago, and made a very successful raid upon the leathered tribe. We would be pleased to have them again, and as often as they can make it convenient to come. Mr. J. W.' Brown lost a very fine cow a few days ago by being run over by :> freight train. We learn that an application will ennn ho mnrlo in tlif? of (loilTitV Commissioners for a charter to open or extend the new public road leading from Flat branch to the Columbia and Longtown road to Blythewood and fromllicnce to Mrs. Xancy Craigs on the AVinnsboro road, this would make a direct road from Blythewood to Wiunsboro, and prove a great convenience to the public. There was an entertainment given at the residence of Mr. Jacob Moniz on Friday evening last, and was enjoyed by all present. A gloom was cast over our whole community on Wednesday last by the death oi Mrs. Jno. McGrady. The unfortunate lady had been out attending to her domestic affairs, and on her return sat down too-near the lire, where her clothing caught and before any assistance could reach her she was so badly burned that she only lived a few hours. n.

Editors: Realizing Cowpe: ?s 1 Pleasures of a Winter Evening'"? wind and storm without?cheering fire and comfort within?I desire to remind you and your readers of this southeastern corner of your county, known as Longtown. Mayhap the present generation know not its first cognomen "was Logtown, from cabin residences put up on the ridge to withdraw from river plantations for health. By degrees these summer homes beeaina permanent, the-seats of luxury and I refinement. The change of name to Longtown was made proper because ot its extension from the. Kershaw line for six miles (some claim ten) on the ridge, making a beautiful drive and affording an extensive view, including a glimpse of your own town. Although late, our Christmas festivities must be noticed, no one having seen fit to report them. Three hot suppers, Baptist. Presbyterian and Methodist, each a success, particularly in a pccunfary way. Christmas trees, charades, tableaux, fire-works, pound parties, dinings, family gatherings, ! all reminded us ol former days of ease and prosperity. Of course the ringing of these merry Ch.vtmas bells, Madame Rumor says, will naturally bring about the chimes of wedding bells in the near future. This severe northeaster, asserting old Winter's sway, will afford time to the old and young to remember home duties, maKe ticw resojves ana arouse additional energies for thc*new year. We wish you success in your undertaking of making The News and Herald a necessity, as'wcll as"a sourceof pleasure and information to the people of the county. ' * +am - ITEMS imox FEASTER V1LLE. There have been a few cases of penumonia, and many severe colds contracted during the recent sudden changes in the temperature. One day last week as Mr. W. J. Keller was returning from Woodward, he was taken very ill suddenly. His physician at first thought his recovery doubtful. The Rev. S. "NY". B. Perry, formerly of this county, but until quite recently a resident of Florida, spent a day or two last week with friends and relatives in this community. He has purchased the McLurkin "place, to which he will soon carry his family. One of our young men, Mr. S. D. Crosby, made his exit a few weeks ago for Leesville, where he will attend school this year. Parties have been quite numerous for some weeks, and a wedding occasionally. On Monday evening as the family oi jyir.jlm'. urosoy were seateu arounu the supper tatle, a colored boy ran to the door, exclaiming-, "Mill a-fire, Mass Dave." Yon can imagine the excitement that prevailed for a few minutes better than I can express it, for I cannot find words adequate. Mr. Crosby, minus ahat, rushed from the room, took the most direct route, scathing the fence with the agility of a goat, soon reached the mill and ascertained that the engine shed had been on fire, but owing to the timely arrival of two colored men, the fire had# been extinguished and that no damage had been incurred. Ilad everything been dry and later at night a heavy loss would inevitably have been the result. We wish The News axd Herald. from proprietors to the devil, a prosperous year. More anon. \ x.

We hope some of our moneyed men will look into this matter and conclude to erect dwellings enough to accommodate all who wish to move to town. Remunerative rents can be easily securcd. Our prominent men are divided as to what v/e shall have; some want a factory and others a bank. I guess we will have to compromise and take both.

More pupils arc in attendance now than ever before. An entertainment will be given on the evening of the 3d of February by the Blackstock Dramatic Club, the proceeds of which will go to improving the school building Mr. Geo. L.

McJlASTER, BRICE & KETCH IN. LETTER FROM FLOE ID A. Messrs. Editors: One of the memorials of St. Augustine is the old fort San Marco that was, Fort Marion that is. It was building for one hundred years, and was erected 011 the site of the first earthen fort, San Juan De Pino*. It was so costly that when at last it was finished and the accouuts showed to the King, he immediately left the room and was absent so long that despite ihc strict etiquette of the Spanish Court, his Chamberlain went to seek him, and found him iu his watch-tower gazing earnestly westward towards Florida. "I do not see if'" "Spp what, vonr most sracions Majesty ?" "Why the Fort San Marco, if it cost so much why can I not see it?" If is built of coquina, a mass of sand and broken shells naturally cemented together, and found in great quantities on Anastasia Island. It was thought by the Spaniards to be the best building material known, and was still so much prized that when in 1812 Spain ceded Florida to the United States, there was a clause in the treaty prohibiting the sale of the Island, and saying that the coquina quarries must always be free to tiie people of Saint Augustine. Its coquina walls resisted the attacks of all enemies, stood firm before the I English cannon balls of Oglethorpe, I but until steps were taken by the I " -Aft J U* J _ uovernment were seemeu iu ue uuiigc-r that the entire fort would be carried away by the insatiable relic hunting tourist. Even as il is he has left his mark, and on the venerable coquina' we see that G. W. J ones, of Elizabeth N. J., has been in the fort, or the Jno. M. Smith, of Dallas, Texas, has seen fit to let us kuow that he has not been behind his Northern brother, and has also honored the fort with his presence and?autograph. But try to forget these ambitious heroes, try to forget the city behind yon fall of moneyed tourists aud 1 moneyless boarding-house keepers, forget even the very polite Sergeant who will show you through, forget the stars aiki stripes flying above yon, forget all the anachronisms and wander through alone! Passittg the outer water battery we come to a moat, aud crossing what t was once a drawbridge we reach the barbican, whereon are the Arms of Spain. Still another drawbridge and we reach the portcullis, when again we see the Arms of Spain, and upon the same escutcheon were read in nearobliterated characters, that, "Don Ferdinand VI. being King of Spain, and the Field Marshal Don Alonzo Fernando Hereda being Governor and Captain General of this place, San Augustine of Florida and its province, this Fcrt was finished in 1756. The works were directed by Captain Engineer Dorn Pedro de Brozas^ y Garay." Passing through the entrance we come to an open Court, surrounded by casemates, in some of which during time of siege all the people of San Augustine would live. in one were crosses fastened to the wall, before which captivc- heretics were chained, to be taught by constantly gazing on the cross the loving kindness of the Romish religion. If perchance these heretics ronounced their faith, they were carried across ' the court into a chapel, where over the Altar the Holy Virgin presided, and where, from the many niches in the wall, saint* ?>:.iicd down as the newly savH/ir.utic crossed himself and bowed o.iure the graven image o? j the Virgin. Such was their fate! But what became of those whose belief was stronger than tjie fear of death itself? Passing through the chamber eff crosses | we come into an ante room, built merely to deaden sound. Beyond is a dungeon so dark that you feel the dense blackness, so stifling that you grow faint, and so cold and mouldy as only a place can be where no sunshine has come for three hundred years. Here were practiced all the hellish ~ *1 -r c o tortures 01 tne inquisition oi cpam, here pleading victims were walled up, their cries for mercy becoming fainter and fainter until all was silent, and the pitiless Inquisitors knew that all ?was over. Here were used grates, gags, racks, and thumbscrews, and when these had done their work, the tortured, distorted bodies of the victims were lowered into a well of quick-sank and disappeared for ever. But enough. Whose blood has not run cold at the | horrors of the Inqyisition of Spain? j And: we cannot doubt that in this i New-EWorld, thought to be a place of ! refuge for the pursecuted, were all' ! these horrors oft-times enacted. These dungeons were walled up and i only accidently discovered, what dis; mai tales may not the other seemingly i solid bastions contain? | Leaving these cruelties, which are ; Spanish, let us cross the court again ; and come to the cell where Osceola | and Coachoochee were imprisoned; ! captured while under the flag of truce. ;iyris true uio seminoie war was a : reign of terror, that men, women and | children were mercilessly murdered, : that the spirits of Dade and his men ' called for revenge. i But as we stand between the chamt: bers which tell of Spanish cruelty and I "\ American treachery, both done "through evil that good might come," we wonder how the one can be more justifiable than the other. When we bear how Coachoochee starving himself until thin enongh to get through the bars of his nar/ow grated window, escaped only to tell his people the story of the pale faces' treachery and renew the war vith increased vigor, we cannot bat ^vjaapa thize with him. Osceola was removed to Fort Hoaltrie, languished in prison and lies buried on Sullivan's Island. Ooachoocbee was recaptured by the same old ruse, violated truce, and with all his people sent into exile. As they were leaving their beloved Florida, Coachoochee turned and gazing at the receding shore, wailed: "I am looking at the last pine tree on my land." The Seminoles were blots on the fair face of Florida, they were murderous and treacherous, and yet who cannot regret that they found the pale laces no better than they themselves. The last occupants of the fort were the Apaches, and they have left behind them quaint rude drawing done in charcoal on the walls, drawings of fights between cavalry and Indians, the quaint rude drawings of savages and yet pathetic, for in them all the Indians seem to be driven back, back, back. But let us leave the fort and all these gruesome ghosts of the past, ghosts of the avengers and their victims, ghosts of Indians, Frenchmen, Spaniards, English and-Americans are gone, and with them all the good they may perchance have done.
