IHmti Mr. Edward Bailky, who h?i been , residing in Kansas City, Missouri, for tome time past, has returned toGreeuville, and baa taken charge of the publication of the JSntorpt in, during the illneaa of the proprietor. Ue reports himself as being highly pleased with the great West and everything being . I ? . 1 _ a _ a _ # - t ui a orgo state or progress ana pro* perity, Kansas City has a population of 33,000; a few years ago it bad oDly 4,000, Xrimrens and August* Kallroid. The people of Laurens are to have a meeting on next saletday to consider the ways and mean* of building a narrow-gauge railroad to Augusts. It seems to us, with all deference to our intelligent friends in Laurens, tbal there never wm a more mistaken project conceived in this State among the many abortions in publie improvements that have occurred. Augusta was s very good and superior market for produce and furnishing supplies, in the days of wagoning, when it had the advantage of river and railroad, and no other railroads were competing with the South Carolina road ; but now-Columbia has roads leading directly to New York as well as Charleston, and also connecting with Wilmington, and it is a fact that goods of all kinds oan now be bought in Columbia on as good terms as in Augusta, end this will be the ease also in Greenville ao soon as this Air-Line Railroad is completed to this place; which will have a direct tendency to bring freights to more reasonable terms a all the railroads connecting with the tipper part of the Slate. Greenville will have the advantage - O ...6??v. ly connected with New York and is far i nearer to it than Augusta. Of one thing cur Laurens friends mar be assured, should tbes.bnililA.t9ad now mistakenly calculate, a line of tranaportation for cotton, and as to the provision market?bacon, beeves, corn, 1 flour, etc.?unquestionably Greenville ' will be far superior to Augusta, and Columbia just as good. Greenville will, on the completion of the Air*Line Road, be about one hundred miles nearer by railroad to the great grain-growing West than Augusta, and tbe distance 1 between Greenville an^ Laurens is nearly fiftv miles li>v )i?n M..U W?n VVU urili I CUD # -?r and Augusta; besides the line of country traversed by the Air Line from Greenville to the Georgia line is a grain* growing provision country. Why not let us unite therefore and build a narrow gauge road fiorn Laurens I to Greenville! this would be your route to New York and every part of the i West, and hither you could como at all < seasons and not fear Lillious and yellow ? fever. The very season of leisure, the ? latter part of summer, when you wish to f take a brief trip to higher and cooler v regions, your road to Greenville will ac- 1 commodate you. It is certainly desirable to increase the connection of the < different parts of the State, as it adds to t mutual wealth and strength. Make < your road to Greenville, and you will triko as good a market as any away f from tide water, and connect yourselves i directly with the Air-Line Road, a great highway fiom New YorktoCali- c fornia, and that will put you on a direct i route either to Europe or Asia. I n.. - 1U060 statements may seem a little p extravagant, but they are not. The i Air-Line is to be doubtless one of the e greatest and cheapest thoroughfares of I this continent, and Greenviile being t whliout disparagement the most pleas- t r.ntly and favorably situated of any ? town on the whole line, either in North c Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia, c must become a considerable city. It J would not surprise us (hat thopopula. v tion would soon rival Augusta afier the a completion of the road, and in the end fi exceed it. Uring your narrow gauge t' road to Greenville and we will extend t it on over to Aaheville, which will add to your and our benefit. R More hereafter. The Air-Line Bailroad?Early Completion to Greenville. ii We have satisfactory information that j, the Air I ine Railroad is to be complet- |( cd from Charlotte to Greenvills early j next spring, perhaps in February next. 4 We shall, therefore, in all probability, e have direct connexion between Greon- u ville and New York, much sooner than p the most sanguine have calculated.? e The finishing of the road between c Greenville nod Oainsville On., will toon follow. Already there are come 24 0 miles graded this side of Gaiosville, t| resdy for track laying. ^ Dr B ^a'nJy . ' We learn that l)r. Manly lias ac- c cepted the Presidency of Georgetown a College, Kentucky, and will leave Greenville in a few weeks. The citi- 0 zens of Greenville will univer?ally re- q gret the loss from their midst of this f, eminent scholar, profound theologian, v and amiable and accomplished gentle- c iirin. i, il * IM, n ; ! ?, " i -^gtr_ Booth Ouollw Sltoatlontl Institute. Tne Educational Institute of tbi* StMe eft io {ireeeville last Wednesd*r*veBiD? Tbefttendapce from different pfNTts of the Stale, tbciigh not as large m could be Seaired, yet embraced maay of the prominent teacher* ; the meeting was a decided auceees. Capt. Paraicji. one of lha v ire nr?i? I ideals, (President U.S. Thompson be ing absent) called the meeting to order. G?d. W. K. Easlly bad been appointed to deliver an address, but wns unavoidably absent. The re organisation of the Institute for the ensuing rear was proceeded with. Prof. James. UCarlisle, of Wofford College, was elected President; there were also four vice-president* elected, M. M. Farrow, was elected Recording Secretary, and Rev. B. F. Miller, of Maiielta, Corres ponding Secretary. Professor C. U. Jcdson, of Furman Univerity, one of the vice-presidents look the chair, as Professor C. was not in attendance.? Thursday morning in the lecture room of the Baptist Church, where all the remaining business was transacted. On Thursday Professor Jl'dson presented a singularly able and learned paper, being a review of geometrical text books, in which ho demonstrated certain errors exirting in nearly every one of them. The learned gentlemen present were omphalic in their commendation of the masterly ability of Professor Judson'a essay. Some intoresting'diecussion followed tbe rending of the paper, in which Iter. Dr. John A. Broadu8, ad honorary member, nnd Mr. Will Christie 13enet, of Cokesbury, and olho/v part. Mi. M. C. Calvtns, a tuning member from the! Georgia Educational Institute, read an interesting essay on the condiiion and prospects of education in various aspects. ? In the afternoon of Thursday Mr. Benjamin R. Stkwaiit, of Winnsboro, introduced the subject of School Organization, in a somewhat lengthy address, making suggestions which elicited a discussion that consumed the afternoon Professor B. B. Babbitt, of the South Carolina University, Rev. Dr. Bonner, of Due West, Dr. J. C. Furman, Cap'. J. B. Patrick, Mr. Pifeu and Mr. Bbket taking part. After this l)r. Broadus addressed the Institute briefly and ably on the sut ject of a( the true position of the modern langauges in our educational system, and methods of teaching the same." Messrs. Bbkrt and Stuarr followed in discussion cf the same sub ject. It was resolved to have essays sub milled at the next meeting on text books, geography, English grammra. rhetoric, history, arithmetic and algebra. The President being authorized to sppoint a committeo of two persons on :ach subject, each to prepare a separate ?ssay A committee'was also appointed to prepare a programme of business or next meeting, and a committee to 'isit the next meeting of the Georgia Educational Institute. Resolutions of thanks to the citizens >f Greenville for hospitalities extended, tnd to the railroad companies for ac> :om mod at ions were passed. Charleston was agreed upon as the dace for the next meeting to take place n May next. Rev. Dr. B. Manly having been re juested to addrcrs the Institute, ' nembers met in the Court House on | "riday evening, with a select and apceciative assembly of ladies and gentle, men. Dr. Maklt's address was learnd and profound, and also full of pracicable w isdom on the subject of educaion. In the introductory portion of he address, he showed that in the loutli before the war, there were more ollegiate institutions and students nc ording to population than in the forthein States. II is di*cti*sion of the alue and importance of education in 11 its grades, was exceedingly able and ' xed the closest attention. The Insti ' ute passed a resolution at its close, hanking Dr. Manly for his address, nd requiting a copy for publication. ' Yellow Fever In Charleston. Thia dreadful disease ia now prevail* ig in Charleston, although the type 1 i not regarded by acme as a very vio- 1 >nt one. The Courier of last 8atur- ' ay aaya: "There ia nothing that in*- ' icatea that the disease exists in an ' pidemic form. Its existence ia Attrib- 1 ted to local causes, and is confined ' rincipally to one locality. In all oth> r localities there has been a reroarkble xernption from disease." 1 The first case occurred on the 27th < f July, and since that lime as many as > hirty five cases have been reported? i rVo heartily sympathize with the city < n her affliction, and hope soon to re j ord the disappearance of the disease < llogether. 1 Later?Despatches from Charleston < f the 28lli insl.#*ay that diligent in* i [Oiry fail* to discover any new case* of < iter in the last twenty-four hours, the rliole number of persons now baldly xcecding a dozen. 1 he disease seems 3 ) ield readily to medical treatment. 1 ? 1 Sow tit* Injustice Wotka. wThe Imiw Pension Act pasted by Congress, requires (bat (be pensioner take an oa?b (bet be never sympathized with the rebellion, otherwise be is not entitled to any of the Government's munificence ; and in cue of bit death, (be widow uiuat fite an o*th that her bitsband never sympathized with or took part iu the war, before tbe can receive | any wing. 1 he greet injustice or this provUioo is forcibly- illustrated bj a case in this city. An aged widow lady, row a resident among us, whose husband was a soldier in the war of 1812, and who served most gallantly, as can be proven by living testimony, is debntred from the benefits of the Act because tho gentleman in question took the aide in the late unpleasantness that was most natural and right, at least what he conscienlioutdy thought was so. This lady's deceased .husband held the rank of Major in the artillery service. At times he was called to command his battery, and in one engagement every man was shot down until the Major was left alone at his gun, but soon bo also fell, losing a leg. These facts can be substantiated by n member of tho company coramauded by the Major, residing at the present limo, contiguously to this place in An> derson County, snd who is slso deter'rcd from applying for a pension on the same grounds, (he is an honorable 6cion of the " Green Isle," and cannot take the onth required.) If Congress really wished to reward those who flew to the aid of the country when her battles were to be fought, and who imperiled their lives in her defence, why insert this outrageous requirement I It is a blot upon our Na lional Assembly, and should not be al lowed to remain. The widow of this gallant soldier is thus deprived of a small pittance which would benefit her in her old ago, that her husband was worthy of a thousand times, and whose duty it is the Government not to environ bv clauses that will preclude it from reaching her. Sunday. Dr. Broadus, in tho absence of the pastor, preached iu the Baptist Church last Sunday morning, taking his text from the eleventh chapter of John, which relates the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. Dr. B. has re. cenlly returned from his European tour and visit to Palestine, and gave his hearers in tho introductory a biiff yet graphic description of the way from Jerusalem over or by the Mount of Olives to Bethany, once the abode of Mary and MartliA, now called Lnzareo by the Arabs. lie also de? sciibed tho site of Bethany itself, the undoubted locality of tho miraclo.? Those who heard the sermon, and thort wae a good congregation, regretted that all their friends and acquaintances could not have been present for the pleasure and profit it was so well calculated to nfl'ord. Beautiful in its simplicity of style, it was grand in the sublime lessons of moral and religious truth, which the speaker deduced from the various incidents of the sickness, and death, and the raising to life of Laza rus.

Charles Macaper, a oolorfd man, got hiniself into an uproarious excite* moot at KiOharp Wtnnb'^ blacksmith shop acar Mr. Pocn'e gr ?*ryt on Sat urday last. He bad bean drinking some, and was supposed to be nnder its influence, lie manifested a fighting propensity, and attempted to brickbat and knife some other colored men nbotfi the shop, who tried to put a stop to hi* violence. He seemed from the evidence before Trial Justice IIopkinb on Tuesday, to have acted in self defence* and as peace makers, nevertheless, he indicted Ave persons for riot and assault. On examination on Tuesday Fcfore Trial Justice Hopkins, the justice very properly discharged accused, but Macarca, having been indieted in two oases for assault and battery, was held liable to answer. Ue would not bavo been indicted if he had not unjustifiably prosecuted others whom he had assailed. More Bain. Since our lad issue, we have been visited by rain, until we are quite ready to say, Hold, enough. On Wednesday evening the fall was very heavy and long continued, agaiu on Friday, and on Saturday night it poured down more than half tbe night, and has continued more or less every day from that time to the pretent willing. We understand that nearly every section of the County hns been refreshed with copious falls, so much Deeded. Although late, it is still in time for lur. nips, peas, potatoes, and late corn.? We trust a large area of land will be sown in turnips. Who ever raised more of this latter crop than they needed. Our Reading Room. The following paracrabh from the Columbia Union bliows thnl Greenville is not belli ml even ibe Capital ol the Stale in providing good reading matter for her citizens : ? We were shown Sntnrday, by a gentleman who has recently visited tli6 Greenville Heading Rooms, a catalogue of the magazines and other literature hiost popular periodicals in this country, and across the waters. It was justly stated that prob ably Greenville has one of the best reading rooms this side of Baltimore. 1 It is a subject that should atlr*ct atlen- 1 lion here, for there is no good reason i why there should not be better facilities here."
