been cheered forward by an iucreuxiug list of friends |
and generous supporters, by smilea of encourage- ,

energies.
In tbc coming year we contemplate improvements V
satisfactory to ourselves' and more advantageous to v

Under this promise, will not our present friends ''
try to enlist more in our belts*! ? . A few additional ^
names at cncli post office might readily be obtained
?the whole swelling to n respectable aggregate ; ''
and the additional means thus brought to our aid
will enable us to requite the interest taken in tho ,
welfare of this paper.
We aro grateful for tho very liberal encouragement

Attention is called to the'card of the President, 11
ap|?ointing a special meeting of at! persons interested
in tho above road, at Uuion C. II., on the 5th of
March next. Tho urgency of the cull must command
attention. (
ACCIDENT. . I
On Thursday evening last, on the plantation of |
T. O P. Vernon, Esq., while walling a deep well, n
the rope broke when about twenty feet from the
water, precipitating a box of stone upon Kinsman v
Scay, jr., the waller, inflicting severe injuries. He ^
wu promptly orougiu out 01 inc well, a puysioian ^
sent for, mid removed to hie home. Under careful
attention from Dr. Russel he is recovering. n
ROBBERY. [j
On Wednesday night, lwth inataut, some scoundrel
or scoundrels broke into the store of Messrs, n
Lee ?fc Kriggs, and the Pus'. Office adjoining, rob- *
bing both of money to the amount of about $75. No "
goods are known to have been etolvn from the prom. "
iscs. We understand that lx>ck wood's boy Ilamp #
and two other negtoes have been committed to jail U
as parties to the burglary.
EXTRAIT D'EAU'SK CoToCJiB.
This exquisite toilette indispensable, in all its puri- "
ty, may bo found at tho Chemical Store of Messrs. '
Fisher & Heioitsh. A sample bottle of genuine "
Farina is now before us, nn I we nro therefore en- t<
abled to give an enlightened judgment npoo its d
quality. These gentlemen are well supplied with f
every toilette requisite, and we commend purchau- ?
crs to Aetn for selection.
FRUIT UuVoTsEASO.N.
We are again indebted to Mr. J. M. King, of C
Rich Hill, for a mngnificcnt Winter Bell Pear, and S
also for several specimens of his Carolina Seedling C
Gully, and Yellow Limber-Twig Appier. d
Under tho impulse given to fruit culture by our si
Agricultural Society a demand has sprung up for
trees which he cannot at present supply, lie hopes si
however, in a yenr or so, to be fully able to till ull ti
orders directed to hiin. n
In the ineautiinc, we invite those in wont of fruit fc
trots to the advertisement of Mr. Hamilton, of *.
North Carolina, who will bu hero on sale day next a

TUB TREASURY SURPLUS. "
Much anxiety in felt among merchants nud stilesmen
ut tliu large su'plu* in tho Treasury of the
United State*. To this fear, more than to any ^
other reason, ie to be attribute ! the desire in certain
' m
quarters to reduce the tariff The banks and nierchants
look with alarm at the accumulation of ?pe- (r
cie in the treasury vaults, abstracting froui trade its fl
very lile, and threatening u money crisis. At the ()<
end of the present fiscal year, without tonic action ^
of Congress providing a safety-vallrr, the iudepen- jn
dent treasuries will have $43,000,000 in their q
vaults. To guard against a cmnmcrciul revulsion
something must be done by Congrco*.
Since tho above was written, dates from Washington
to the 19th have reached us. On thut day l'i
?!.v 8V-ssUipassed the above bill; n!s?, bills coultrn - r<
ing titles to swamp lands and to increase the pay of *'i
army officers. The llauao passed, by 20 majority,
the bill repealing the obnoxious laws of Kansas and ?
ordering a new election for the Initiative Assembly.

FARTY TO THIS MORGAN RIFLES. v
Mr. Walker's gentlemnnly assistant, Mr. J. ol
luinu Harris, was lucky in conceiving the idea of c<
mdering a Social I'ariy to onr new uniformed 1
omjvtny, tho Morgan Rifles, Capt. O. W. II.
.egg, on the evening if the 2l)lh instant. It was
ot only a delicate compliment to tho corps, but ^
flbrded a fine opportunity for gratifying tbe public
rith a sight of their Inndsomo appearance, and also
;ave the commuuity a specimen of his capacity in n'
lOtcl keeping. And in all he was successful.
Tho new and capacious Hall?which is named j"
fter Wushingloa?was oouforlably crowded with ^
tJiis and gentlemen, who enjoyed themselves in
ocial converse until half-past ten, when supper was n
tinonneed. Descending to tho Dining-Room, two ^
umptuoua tables were spread out in the perfection
f culinary art; and when wo say that the entertain- 31
tent, iu this department, was a noble one, wo fall

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.
The Newberry Sun of (lie 1 -Stli inst. suggests a
invention of tlio proprietors of Newspapenfetih
oulh Carolina, to bo held, say at Columbia-or
Jiurleston, for the benefit of the press, aqd to intfbuce
the ca*h system for subscription jxod fcirjfting.^S
While wo feel no particular enthusiasm on this f0
abject, wo nre not nvcrsc to thu proposed oouven- 11<
on. Something beneficial m^gkt result from such di
iceting, even if its action uot prove a panacea m,
>r all the ills ol newspaper.jSblisherr. Wu hare
xno experience in (his ntatter Trent the effort made it
few years ago. Much was anticipated from that ^
lovcnuut ?but, npart from several good addresses ^
ltd good dinners, it was a total failure iu all prac- f
cal advantage. To cat nud drink is the worst pus- Si
bio preparation for the despatch of business. ,j.
If it shall prove acceptable to the press to hold ^
iu proposed convention, wo hope that, prior to its A
iceting, each publisher (or editor) will give his M
laughls to the kind of business which should bo ^'
ansacted, and be ready to refer all propositions to ?j.
committee (or suggestion and digestion. Should Si
xh'iig be ready in litis way, haste to get liotne
ill defeat ngreetneut u|k?ii anything that will |>ay
tercst upon the expense of going to Columbia or
hurlcston. a*
IMPEACHMENT of ITbDKRAL JDDLE. ^
Au effort is being made in Congress to impeach j,
10 United States I hslrict .Judge of Texas?Wat- t|,
his. The Judiciary Committee reported ou the w
lit instant the following resolution: C(J
"Itenolccil, That John C. Watrous, United t..
Lutes District .lodge for the district of Texas, be
ipcnched of high crimes and misdemeanors.'' TJ
After debate the subject was postponed until the
1st?last Saturday. Tl
Mr. Kvans, of Texas, thought that it was due not
llylo Judge Watrous, but to the State ot Texas, ?u
nil the resolution should be agreed to, that the f?
ulge should be placed upon bis trial, and be affordI
an np|Ntrtuiiily to ncijuit himself before the Seno
o( tlic United States, if innocent of the charges
i;it had been preferred against him. Simiii alter
uilgc vVutrous was made a district judge of Texas,
s fiII under suspicion, and it became the settled |w
>inion of a large majority of tlio (wsiple of Texas (?
i.it lie was engaged in fraudulent land speculations.
hat op nioit was endorsed hy tlio legislature of
ex:u in 1818, and he believed there were but few m
icinbcrsof the bar?but very few of the citizens of Ki
exns?who did not regard Judge Watrous oa icn- h,i
icatcd in sonic manner in lliat class of litigation,
id improperly no. Under llose circumstances, it
as but fair?it wna but due to the purity o( court*, '
id to the wlniiiiistriiiion of justice?that ill judge eh
iouid be put ii|K>n trial. lie knew nothing of 'fj
u Igu WntrouH himself, was never in hi* court; but
a believed there was no question that ho waa n
tan of cmiucrt legal ability. A* a representative nr
Texas, however, it wn? hi* iluty to any that, while
ml judge continued to hold oHice, it would be
)tii*nlcni to having no court at nil. uuleaa ho should Wi
ec himself Iroiu tho suspicion* that now uttachcd Qt
i him. ^

GREAT CURE OF RHEUMATISM IN
Cincinnati, Ohio?Convincing Evidence.
For more than three years I have been suffering '
with rheumatism, nut enlargement and puia ot th*
boms nnd joints. I have strictly followed the *d?
vice of physicisus, and at other times used sorb
family medicines as hud b en i (.commanded for the
cure of rheumatism; still I did not improve in the . *.;!
least, and was frequently compel! d te keep niyr
fed, und thereby was preicuwd from attending to 'WQi
my business. Some weeks ago 1 was induced by
a frieud to try Carter's Spanish Mixture. The ? l
-Iter I liiui taken the fourth doa*-, 1 have only mid
uuc single bottle, and am entirely free from all
pain. I feel bolter than 1 have felt foe year*, and I
attr bale my completely-restored health sol. iy to
the use ol Carter's Spanish Mixture. I consider
it a moat excellent medicine fur rheumatism and all
diseases of the blood, and cheerfully recommend it .a
to the afflicted. H. BURRITT,
