william l. yancey".
i William L. Yancey was, for several
years, a citizen of Greenville,
I lived here, married here, and ownJ
ed the farm where William Hates
now lives- He was the son of
Benjamin Yancey, who stood for
many years at the hend o* tho bar
' In the upper part of Sonth CAPolina.
lie was a native of Maryland,
and the protege of Robert Good loo
Harper. He first entered the navy,
and then rend law, and settled
at Abbeville Court House. He
married the daughter '<-1 Ool. Byrd.
of' Georgia, who had removed
there from Virginia. Benjamin
j mice)' was cicctoa n uietnuor or
tho Legislature from Ablieville,
' and took a very high position in
that Ixxly. Although very young,'
lie catno within a few votes of being
elected a judge of the Stnte.?
His talents, eloquence and high
t character induced Judge linger,
who was then a member of the
II0116Q and practicing law in
Charleston, to offer him a partner
ship which he accepted una moved
to Charleston. Judge 1 Inner wua
very much attached to him,and had
a very high opinion of hU talents
and ability. Many years after the
death of Benjamin Yancey, Judge
linger was holding court at Abbe-,
ville, and asked me to take a walk
with him. We came to a little
brick office, then occupied by.Gov
ernor Noble and Judge Wardluw.
Judge linger sjuppcu and looked
at it with gVeat interest and said to
mo, "That was the office of my
lamented friehd and partner," Ben
jamin Yancey, before Ins removal
to Charleston." He then spoke in
most affectionate terms of hitn.and
gave me an account ot his mooting
_iiiin in the Legislature, and how
much l.c was impressed with him.
, Not many years after his removal
to Charleston, Mr. Yancey died
on his way to Abbeville court, to
attend to a great iand ease,
which was then ready for trial.?
1 have heard Chancellor Thompson
an-4 many others, who were
cotemporarios ot Yancy, speak in
mo?t extravagant terms of his elforts
at the liar and in tbo Legislature.
Somo years after tfio death of
| Mr. 13eiija,mun Yan<ey bis widow
married thcltevcf^nd Mr.Uceinftn,
a distinguished Presbyterian minister
from the North, who was then
living in Washington, Georgia.?
lie returned to the North arid car,
ried with him his wile and his stepchildren.
William L. Yancey was
there educated, till he was seven
icon or eighteen years old, when
, lie returned to South Carolina to
' make his permanent home, though
Georgia lias the honor ot being his
; birth place.
This genth man is justly eotitled
to tbo distinction, 110 fnatter in
' what light that distinction may be
1 viewed by the world, ol having
i brbken tip, for a brief period, the
American Union, and involved the
1 country in a great sect tonal war,
> which cost tho sacrifice of one million
of hwnati lives, the desolation
) ot tbo Southern States, their loss of
civil liberty, and the establishment
of a military despotism! There
1 may have been others who labored

with all its horrible leaullat ~
Mr. Yaneey read law in my
'office two or three year a, and we
were for a much longer period ou
teroia of groat intimacy, J knew
tt Inui well amf loved him raont af?*
fedthinardly. no had many rare
and noble qualttfoe of both head
- and l*art. He traa full of gen u?
I- and talent, aud endowed with high
gift* of oratory, lu disposition ho
was kind and affectionate, war.n
and generous, and devoted to his
friends. Ilo was a very liandsotne
yonng man, with a bright, cheerful
face, ever inspiring confidence and
good feeling. iTe was rather under
ordinary height and well pro,
portioned, with great activity and
strength. His manners were not
only pleasing and polished, bat
really faecinating, and no one
could be in company with him
wtthont feeling ltindly towards
him ; but with all his talents, attractions
and brilliancy, he was
not a man of wisdom, or jndg*
meat, or stability of character,
lie bad strong feelings and impulses
which generally controlled
bis notion and judgment. He was
a man ot high spirit and dauntless
courage. 11 is impulses and bis
passion Involved him in a great
many difficulties of a rery serious
character. I remember, on one
1 occasion, whilst he was reading
law with ine, having to rush be
twecri him and Thomas F. Gantt
to prevent tl eir firing on each
other. They had commenced a
political discussion, which did not
continue long before they drew
their pistols, and but for the interference
of myeelt ni.d others,
would have exchanged shots in the
street 1 In a quarrel with Dr.
Earle, the uncle of his wile, he
drew his pistol and 6hot hitn. The
doctor died in a few hours. Van
cey was tried and convicted of
manslaughter.
In tbi- afiair, howovcr, he did
what tew men ot spirit might not
have done, under the circumstances.
The day previous, he hud
had a difficulty wfth Dr. Earlo'6
son, who was quite a lad. Yaucev
sought the doctor, and explain
ed to him the difficulty with his
son, who seeined to bo perfectly
satisfied. The next day ho was in
quiring for Yancey with a bludgeon
in bis hands. Yancey wont
up to hiiu in perfect good humor
and anticipated no difficulty. He
gave Yancey the lie and dicw his
stick. Immediately, Yaucey drew
iiis pistol, and presenting it, told
tho doctor to " take it back or tuke
a 6liot." Dr. Earle rubbed towards
him and Yancey's pistol tired 1?
But 1 aticey assured me, coitidentially,
tliul it wa6 not his purpose
to fire the pistol, and that be did
firo it involuntarily under the excitement.
lie afterwards made
utiidavit to this fact, and 1 have
never lor a moment doubted the
truth of tho assertion. lie was
defended by Judge Wardlaw, Mr.
Burt and myself. IIis sentence
was fine and imprisonment, which
Governor Noble pardoned in a lew
weeks.
Whilst in Greenville, Mr. Yancey
was editing a Union newspaper
und reading law. lie was
then a very strong Union man,
and dealt out to the nullifiers and
secessionists some terrible blows,
for their disunion proclivities. Lit
tie did 1 then think that he was
destined to blow up the Union
himself, in tho courso of a few
j cars I llow hard it is to anticipate
tho future in politics. He
wrote with great vigor, and held
a bold, dashing neu. Alter his
mairiago to Miss Kails, he moved
so Alabama, and was there some
time occupied in editing a newspaper.
li# was soon elected to the
legislature, tailed in planting, und
commenced the profession of law.
In a tew years, he was elected a
member ot Congress, and (ought a
duel with Ueueial Uliugman, pretty
boom after taking hiseeut in tbe
House if Kepresentati%es. lie
made a speech, too, about the same
time, which attracted great public
attention. Iti two or three years,
ho resigned his Beat in Congress,
joined tbe cbnrcb aud resumed bis
profession.
1 bo spirit of abolitionism was
growing at the North, and disunionism
ripening at the South.?
Yancey was one of those fiery spirits
who could not witness au ex
citement without enlisting on one
ido or tho other: and, having
once girded on liia sword, be
plunged in for tl?e war. lie canvassed
Alabama, and went North
to make st>eccbcs. He was thoroughly
imbued with a revolutionary
feeling, and^boastcd that the
Cotton Stutcs would bo precipitated
into war with the Nurth. lie
was sent as a commissioner to Europe
in tho early history ot tho
Confederacy, and returned with
out accomplishing anything. Ho
was then elected Coulcdorute Senator
from Alabama, and died before
tho closo of the war. lu tho
Uonlederuco donate no was a vory
proxniueu? member ; took an activo
, and able part in all tlio discussions
of that body, but Lis judgment and
opinion* were out appreciated vory
biably.
1'ho course pursued by Mr. Yau
coy in tho Democratic Convention
alienated uie from bim in some
measure, end wl.cn ho visited
' Qreenvillo during tlio war, I svad
glad not to havo met him. The
meeting would havo heon unplens

, Beautiful Ireland.
We know of couiec, that Ireland
ie called the 44 Emerald Isle,"
and the color of the emerald is
green, but never had it entered
into our imagination that there
were anywhere in 'his world to
be seen such verdure as it charmed
our eyes to look upon in the
rural districts of Ireland. The
slopes, the knolls, the dells, fields
of young grain, over which lite
breezes cie-.*p hko (.lawful epiiita of
the beautiful ; the pastures dotted
over with sheep of the purest
wool ; the hillsides, rising up into
mist shrouded mountains, are all
covered with thick carpets of
smooth, velvet green. But Ire
land should also be called Flowery
Isle. There is not a spot in
Ireland. I lielieve, where blessed
nature can find no excuse fur put~
ting a flower but sho has put one
?not only in-the gardens and in
the meadows, but upon the very
walls and the crags of the sea,
from tho great blooming rhododendrons,
down to the smallest
floweret that moderately peeps
forth from its grassy cover.?
The Irish furze, so richly yellow,
covers all places that might other
wise bo barren, the silk-worm do
lights everywhere, from thousands
of trees, to drop, its " web of
gold tho blooming hawthorn
with the sweet-scented pink and
eoftccially tl.o white variety,
adorns the landscape and the gardens
; wall flowers of every hue
and variety, cluml>er to hide the
harshness of the mitral supports :
the beetled cliffs of tho North sea
are fringed and softened with
lovely flowers; and it you keel
unv where almost on tho yielding,
velvety carpet you will find little,
well nigh invisible flowerets, red,
white, blue and yellow, wrought
into tho very woof and texture.
Ireland ought to be called the
Beautiful Isle. Tho spirit of the
beautiful hovers over and touches
to living loveliness every point.

Anvils.
In a deserted simp in Pitteficld,
Massachusetts, there rests on its
blo'ck an anvil that lias tiono duty
for more than three hundred
years. It is as sound to dnv as it
was when in 1G33, when Eltwecd
Pomeroy, after welding tor the
Stuarts tho pottnderous horseshoes
of the same style and pattern that
his ancestors had mudo during
generations for tho Tudors and
Plantagenets. grew weary of taxes
without wages, and anvil in hand
sailed for tho new world. A dcf.
workman, lie throve in rho settle
mcnis, and left his anvil as an
heirloom to his descendants.?
They shew you in the Tower of
London the anvil on which the
sword was forged Richard Cwur
de Lion used ill his contest with
Saladin, and at tho collection ot
Pompeian excavations in Naples
there is an anvil, certainly older
than the Christian centuries,
which, of precisely the same
sltapo we UF4, had certainly done
service for stalwart workmen of
tnany generations before the city
was buried. But better still, in
the Egyptain room of the British
Museum, there is a veritable
anvil of the Pharaohs. It is
older than Rome, older than
Greece, oldor than Jerusalem ; as
old as tho days of Abraham, and
I probably in oxistenco when the
I patriarch, 14 was come into Egypt
j ana tho Egyplains beheld Sunii
| that she wa* vary fair." It is
just liko a modern anvil, made apparently
iu rho 6ftmo way, weighing
about seventy-live pounds,
and sound a* it was when lirst
truck by tho hammer thirty centuries
ago.

always save more than the interest.
The cash customer insure to

more reasonable price than the

easily seen ; the merchant or iuc~
clinnie can use 1 lie money thus

also convenient when there is a
chance to buy any stock," or other
properly needed on tho farm, at a
low rate. Much is lost in buying
at the wl-ohg tiiuo, paying b'gh
prices to obtain credit, and by
other difficulties that want ot
funds brings a fanner into. Plenty
of available funds are also
needed to enable the farmer to.sell
to the best advantage. No 6mall
si.arc of the profits that should
l>c realized by many farmers is
lost because they are obliged to
sell at the wrong time. Every
tanner should haye money to use
so that he may nut be forced to
sell ut very low rates, whon it is
evident that by waiting a better
