and irtvrvatti^l^i^^acty ilutt we have had trio
oppositions, and troubles, incident to our vocatit
wool<f be to eluiui exemption from llio influent
JSjjL of ward eircumatnncee?to arrogate a positi
^MK above that nllotcd to humanity. The liurall
*v doctrine is, that uo one is aatiwtied with that J
winch chance or nature assign* him. While tli
w in |t restriotqd w n*e, may be regarded as philosopl
eally true, we have no special causes of ditsniisfsi
tion to chronicle during the pnst year. We ha
been cheered forward by an increasing list of frieti
and generous supporters, by smiles of eneoorng
ment aud words of oomfort. To day we fee! tli
the existence of our paper is more vigorous than
any former period. Under considerable nccessio
to our list, and tin increasing advertising patrnnng
we enter upon the Fourteenth Volume with r
nowed energies.
In the coming year we contemplate itnprovomei:
satisfactory to ourselves1 and more advantageous
our readers and those who do business in our o
umiis. Sumo of those oro near?others more r
mote. But they will be* realised iu good time,
(or as we cn:t forecast the future.
Under this promise, will not our,present frien
try to enlist more in our behnlf ? A few addition
names at each post office might readily be obtain
?the whole swelling to n respectable aggregate
and the additional means the* brought to our n
will enable us to requite the interest taken in t!
welfare of this paper.
Wc aro grateful for the very liberal cncourng
ment that has marked the present management
. the Spartan, and hopeful for the future. But i
shall not relax effort. We aim to loutish a go<
paper?and one growing constantly bettor. Con
up to our help, thcu, nr.d bless us with n long 1
3W prompt-paying customers, and see if we do n
Mure than realize the promises .now made.

ACCIDENT. ?
On Thursday evening last, on the plantation
T. O P. Vernon, Bsq., while walliug a deep we
the rope broke when about twenty feet from t
water, precipitating a box of atone upou Kiuwn;
Sony, jr., the waller, inflicting severe injuries. )
was promptly brought out of the well, a physiui
wnt for, and removed to his home. Under care
attentiou from Dr. Ruasel he is recovering.
|Q ROBBERY.
On "Wednesday night, 1Mb instant, some scou
drel or scoundrels broke into the store of Mess
Lee ?fc Briggs, and tlie Pos*. Office adjoining, n
ting both of money to the amount of about $75. 1
goods are known to have been stolen from tho pro
iscs. We understand that Ixickwood's boy Tim:
and two other negi ues have been committed to j
as parties to tlio burglary.
EXTRAIT D'EYO'DE COLOGNE.
Tliis exquisite toilette indispensable, iu all ita pui
ty, may be found at the Chemical Store of Messi
Fiwher ?fc Ueioitab. A sample bottle ol geuuii
Fariiut is novr before us, an 1 we nro therefore c
allied to give an cnlighteued judgment upon !
quality. These gentlemen are well supplied wi
every toilette requisite, and we commend porcha
ers to them for selection.
FRUIT OUT*OF SEASON.
We arc again indebted to Mr. J. M. King,
Rich Hill, forn magnificent Winter Bell Pear, m
also for several specimens of his Carolina iScedlin
Gully, and Yellow Limber-Twig Appier.
7. Under the impulse given to fruit culture by o
Agricultural Society a demaud has sprung up f
trees which lie cannot at present supply. lie hop*
however, in a year or so, to be fully able to iiil t
orders directed to him.
Iu the meantime, we invite those in want of frt
trees to the adccitisement of Mr. Hamilton,
North Carolina, who will l>e here ou sale day ur
with an ample stock.
. T1IIS TREASURY SURPLUS.
Much anxiety is felt among merchants and state
men nl tlio large *u> plus iu the Treasury of tl
United Slates. To this fear, more than to an
other reason, is to be attribute I the desire in certai
quarters to reduce the tariff. The banks and mo
chnuu look with ulurm at the accumulation of sp<
oic in the treasury vaults, abstracting front trade i
very iife, and threatening a money crisis. At tl
end of the present fiscal year, without sonic- uctiu
of Congress providing a cafety-valve, the iudepei
dent treasuries will have $43,000,000 in the
vaults. To guard against a commercial revulsiu
something must be done by CuUgrcs*.
Since the above was written, dates from Wusl
ington to the 19th lune reached us. On that da
the Senate passed the above bill; also, bills couiiru
fllg titles tc 5?!tsip lands and io iIKttSS* pnj 1

* Islaturc, nud, ou the aaeertion of Mr. ex-Spccker
Middlclrn, hiU the permis-ion to bo unusual and
the influence unparliamentary. >Ve are well aware.
I that preevdsuts may be fbuud in tliu action of eeveI
rat Legislsturesas to ilio old Charleston, T^ouiavlllu,
and Cincinnati rood?our own included. But to
I our mind* there seems to be a broad dutlnctiou bc,
_ tween au enterprise in oontcniplution and one acM
tually in progress, where State tiid had bccu already
oj liberally grnuted, and the object w;ta to remove
>ct wise re trietioii* aud safeguards for the protection o<
(l public trust funds. We have conversed with sovo^
rul numbers of the Legislature on the subject, and (
not one of them has adduced a stronger precedent
lluui tlio one ubuvo alluded to.
But we do not rest our vindication even on the
point ulready made. \V? inaiuUnu that American
l<it parliamentary practice?in Congress, for instance?
never allows influence of this character to approach
j. cither House nearer tlinn the committees. And
0 tbeic is wisdom in this limitation of personal impor^
tun ty. Writnn and printed statements may be
resorted to?members msy be posted outside tho j
^ bodies?committees may inquire and report;?and
the sum of evidence for or ngaiust u measure is K ft '

at .... I
ert upon Icirislatiuli.
^ Legislative bodies are organized to pass luws for
' _' the good of the people?not to favor special int'-r- '
cats at tiie expense of tlio geueral weal. The pri^

well-being of tho parly and his family to whom the

the action of the body would depend upou tho rc

**t PARTY TC TilK MORGAN RIFLES.
n. Mr. Walker's gentlemanly assistant, Mr. J. '
Oulnn Harris, wns lucky in conceiving the idea of '
tendering a Social Parly to our new uniformed
company, tho Morgan Rifles, Capt. O. W. II.
u< on tho evening c f the 20th instant. It wns
"? not only a delicate compliment to tho corps, but
'IU affurdod a fine opportunity Tor gratifying the public '
BM with a sight of their handsome appearance, and also '
gave the community a specimen of his capacity in '
an hotel keeping. And in all he was successful.
^u' The new and capacious Hall?which is named
after Washington?was ooufortably crowded with
ladiiB anJ gentlemen, wliu on joyed themselves in
n social converse until half-post leu, when supper waa
announced. Descending to the Dining-Room, two
sumptuous tables wore spread out in tip) perfection
of culinary art; and when wo say that tin- ontertsin^
incut, iu this department, was a noble one, wo fall
sligrt of the eoiimicudation bestowed on all bauds '
aii DIM,n Mrs. Walker's cktf d'auert. Many pronounced
it superior to uuy ever befuro gotten up in Spartanburg.
The whole affair passed oil pleasantly and harrf.
nioniously, and no iucidvnt occurred to mar in the
rs. slightest degree the enjoyments of the night. It
i]e may not be umiss to say, that tho new company
u- turned out forty uniforms, and made a handsome
it* display. When the ranks aro filled, und ull fully
ih equipped, no District can boast n finer-looking oorpe
6. of eitixcu soldier* than Spnrtnnburg. *
EDITORIAL CONVENTION.
The Kowberry Sun of tho 18th inst. suggests a '
of Convention ol tho proprietors of Newspapers in
>d South Carolina, to bo beld, s.iv at Columbia or
g( Charleston, for tho benefit of the press, and to introduce
the cash system for subscription and advertiur
sing. . '
or While we feel no particular eulhusiasm on this j
a< subject, wo nrc not averse to the proposed oonven- |
dl tion. Something beneficial might result from such (
meeting, even if its acligji,do not prove n panacea ,
lit for all the ills ol newspaper publishers. Wu have
of somo experience iu this matter from the effort made i
xl a few years ago. Much was anticipated from that '
iiiovenu ut?but, apart from several good addresses <
and good dinners, it was a total failure iu all prac- '
ticid advnnUige. To eat and driuk is the worst pus- i
sibie preparation for the despatch of business.
If it shall prove acceptable to the press to hold ,
^ the proposed convention, we hope that, prior to its t
meeting, each publisher (or editor) will give his 1
thoughts to the kind of business which should bo *
transacted, and be ready to refer all propositions to r
a committee for suggestion uud digestion. Should >
notlfng bo ready in this way, hute to get home
will defent agreement u|h?ii anything that will pay
* interest u;>oti tho expense of going to Columbia or '
'r Charleston.
lurt.u until up a nsuKKAL Jiiiuii. ,
t- An effort is being made in Congress to impeach c
iy tho United States District .I udge of Texas?Wat- t
. roiis. Tlie Judiciary Coiiuiiitteo reported oil the ,
8ih iiutsnt the foil-iwing resolution; {
"Httolrcd, Tlmt John C. Watrous, United t
j States District Judge for tho district of Texas, be
impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors.M
After debate the subject was postponed until the
21st?last Saturday. '
Mr. Kvans, of Texas, thought that it was due not
only to Judge Wtilrous, but to the Stale of Texas, s
that the resolution should he agreed to, that the f
^ judge should bo placed upon bis trial, and bealford- .
's ed an opportunity to acquit himself before the Senis
nte of the United States, if innocent of the charges 1
that had beeu preferred against liiin. Soon after
.lodge Wutroua was made a district judge of Texas,
'*? he fi II under suspicion, and it became tho settled [
? opinion of a large majority of tho people of Texas (,
8. that lie wus engaged in fraudulent land speculations. ,
e That op'iiion was endorsed by tlie legislature of
' Texas in 18-18, and lie believed there were but few '
' i members of tho bar?but very few of the citizens of I
Texas?who did not regard .fudge Watrousus irn- (
.. plicated in sonic manner in that class of litigation,
and inipr<>|H-rly so. Under these circumstances, it
n was but fair?it was but due to the purity of courts, '
l* and to the administration of justice?that ih s judge c
I: should he put u|?on trial. lie knew nothing of ']
(1 Ju-lge Watrous himself, was never ill his court; hut
lie believed titers was no question that ho was a
m hi of eminent legal ability. As a representative n
j. of Texas, howcver.it wns his duty to say that, while
that judge continued to hold ofiioc, it would bo
equivalent to having no court at nil, unless he should v
n | free himself from the suspicions that now attached (
p, | to him. f
J axtcniimknts to til* british tsxatv.?tilc
ie Washington correspondent of the Now York Cou- I
I. ricr and Inquirer says: r
0 ''Tlio amendiiieiits reported by tho Senate Cum- ^
milieu on Foreign Relations to tho British Treaty
arc na follow: Abrogation of tho clause recognising
grants of Mosquito Lands; Unrestricted cession to

may recall some elf-forgetting maiden relative, who,
from the rising hope of the houso to tho little pt.itIcr
upon the kuee, haa been ever welcomed as o
rich argosy freighted with good* for others.
The "syllogism." 1 presume the premises are,
first, that Old Maids arc useless; second, that tliey
are detestable. Ergo, the conclusion: Old Maid*
arc a nuisance. But 1 admit neither premises nor
aouclusion, by auy of the new or old modes or gradations
of arguing. Neither by the catechetical
method of Socrates, nor by Aristotle's improved invention
of those little weapons called "syllogism*."
The lifo of an old maid is often a history of practical
heroism. Others may yield to softcuing emotions,
may indulge tho rapture of requited afTcction.
But where for thcin arc tho sweet moments of domestic
affection: the glad hours of joy and hope:
the days begun and coded in happiness? Thvir
|ifo may accm aimless, but the mystery of the isolation
of those who seem so well fitted to grace a
fairer station is a problem we cannot solve here, but
we shall know hereafter that it was ordered in wisdom;
while for the present we must believe
"There's a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough hew them how we will."

Ilteir lives are not only often good aud useful, but

' THE L?i"cJ^??S?
Ob Friday last, tbs rtmain* of Boa. Preston 8.
Brook* reached AuomU, la chars* of Mien. ,
Frazier, Addiaon, Mima and llollingsworth, of
Edgetield; Mtwn. Sober, PraU and Mo Lector*, of 1
Newberry; Meaara. Kirk wood and Lowndsa, of
Charleston and Mr. Oibba* and a College Coat- i
miite* of Columbia. Tho ooffio waa taken in hand :
at lh* depot br the Mayor and Aldermen of Augusta,
and quietly conveyed in the city hear** to
the City Bail, whore it wa?.placed in atate in the I
centre of the largo and fcawdaome Council Chamber.
Hundred* were ther* In tnournlnl ailence to
look upon the scene. Scarcely a word was audible
for minutes at a time, as the immense crowd came
and went in orderly succession. The f eling was
evidently deep and unaffected, and will long be adverted
to by many citizens cf South Carolina then
present as * manifestation at once grateful to us
and honorable to Georgians.
At n quart- r past 4 o'clock p. m, it was announced
that the procession woe formed without,
and ready to accompany the corpse to t' c town of
Hamburg, on the South Carolina side. The coffin
vas again taken in hand by the Augusta members
of Council, and carried to the street, wheru It wiu
placed in a large and elegant hearse, drawn by four
black horses, which had been procured for th* occasion,
through the Mayor of Charleston. The
procession ci nsisted of u troop of cavalry, four uni
formed companies of infantry, a long train of carriages,
and a number of citizens on foot?the whole
preceded by a band of music with muflled drums.
lu? Uligih of thu Column couid Uul have been less
than n half mile. Aa it passed through Broad
street, utmost every piazza, balcony and window
wero erowded with Indies, cngcr to wittiest the sad
tribute to tlx? gallant deceased. Many of the
promftleu! business houacs were dosed; and the
whole occasion no* eeery way one to be long remembered.
We eann<>; avoid repenting that the
munucr in which our Augusta iticflds have acted
in this mzttcr has drawn many a heart towards
them, and has gone far to make us feel more
warmly alive to the fact that Georgia and Carolina
are indeed sisters, bound together by ties of feeling
as well os of interest.
At a little before dark the procession halted in
front of the American Hotel, Hamburg, when the
cofliu wns taken from tho hearse by the officers of
, the volunteer companies, and deposited In the hotel
parlor, which hud been nppropriatcly hung with
black. Tho escort Irani Augusta then returned to
that city, nnd the remains ol our lamented representative
wero in tho keeping of hia constituents
and friends. A guard of honor kept watch during |
uir nrpiu
Early in the morning tho entrnucea and room*
of tlio hotel began to fill with anxious citizens, who
camo to drop a tear upon the cold polished lid that
concealed the face and form they hod to lately admired
in life. A younger brother of tho deceased,
observing tho kindness of this demonstration, reI
quested three particular friends to osamine the face
of tho corpse, and, if proper, to exhibit it through
tho glass plate underneath tho outer case. It was
found to present still a most natural appearance,
1 and every one, old aud youug, mala aud female,
had the opportunity of looking hurriedly upon the
pallid hut still regular features of Preston S. Brooks.
( Wo must not omit to mention hero tho readme**
and Z"al evinced by tho people of Hamburg on this
occasion. The town authorities had every necessary
arrangement made, and the citizens generally
] entered iuto the manifestations of rcspcel with
much cordiality.*
At 9 o'clock ii. m., (Saturday,) tho coffin was
* conveyed by the Hamburg Committee to the hearse,
i It was escorted out of the corporato limits by a
large number of citizens on fool, under the command
of Col. Stuart Harrison, one of the marshals
of the preceding day. Upon the hill above the
e town this escort opcued ranks, facing inwards, aud
u I the hearse, flanked by tho ficlJ officers of the 7th
, ' Regiment, nnd followed by a number of carriages
conveying the various committees, passed through
' on its way to Edgefield village, where the iuterineut
was to take place,
it At half-|>ast 3 o'clock p. m., the cortege, now
very largely increased by the fulling iuto tine of
: many carriages on the route,approached Edgefield.
0 The approach was announced by a signal gun fired
' | hi the outskirts of the village. A few tnilcs out,
f 1 the head of the procession was met by the Edgefield
Muactra, ((.apt. OnninJ who tlion conducted the
advance. Within sight of the town, a long array
o( cititu nt w.is marshalled on tithcr si i! oof the road,
u who w?-re at once placed iu line immediately in

Adams and I'eiin. And thus the entire |>ioc< wiou
entered the village square. We had not, until
>e then, formed n correct idea of the numbers in at
n I eudsncc. The large area waa literally filled with
men, women and children. Ttie body was at once
taken into one of the smaller apartments of the
Court House, that the family of the deceased might
?- in piivnle lake their melancholy leave of it. It was

A MU41P1CETT DONATION.
George I'cabody, Esq., has mode a donation to
trustees of three hundred thousand dollars to endow
an Institute in the city of Baltimore. Amongst the
objects which Mr. Pot^wdy has in view in making
this mnniliocnt donation, he enumerates the forinatkn
of an extensive library for the free use of all
persons who may wish to ouasult it; for the regular
periodical delivery of lectures by the most accomplished
scholars and men of science, such prices of
admission being charged as will pay a portion of the
expense*; an academy of musio to be embraced in
the plan, cud for this purpose ucapacious and suitably-furnished
saloon to be provided; also a gallery
of art in the department of pointing and statuary;
and, finally, Mr. Fen body desires tint ample and
convenient accommodation be made iu the building
of the institute for the use of the Maryland Historical
Society, of which he has long been a member.
Mr. Peahody makes the following liberal and patriotic
suggestions to the trastci s of the proposed in
stitutc:
"I must not omit to impress upon you a suggestion
for the government of the institute, which I
deem to be of the highest moment, and which Ideairu
shall be ever preeeat to the view of tho board
of trustee's. My earnest w i?h to promote, at all
times, a spirit of harmony and good will in society,
my aversion to intolerance. bigotry, and party i<ancor,
and my enduring rexpect and love for the happy
institutions ol our prosperous republic, impel me
to express the wish UiXt the institute I have proposed
to you shall always be etriotly guarded against
the possibility of being' made a theatre Kir the dissemination
or discuasisn of sectarian theology or
party politics; that it dmll never minister, in any
manner whatever, to political dissension, to infidelity,
to visiounry theories of a preteuded philosophy
which tuny be aimed a; the subvention of the approved
morals of society; 'Jjat it shall never food its aid
or iulluencc to the prop gntion of opinions tending
to create or cncourago sectional ieulutuiea in our
happy country, or which may lead to the alienation
of the people ol one SSiatr or section of tho Union
from tlusc of another. But that it aiutll be so conducted,
throughout its wfrole career, as to teach po
imcai niui religious enarsy, toicraiioj, ana u mnccnce,
and prove tiacif to be, in all contingencies
and conditions, the true friend of our inestimable
Union, ol the salutary institutions of free government,
and of liberty reflated by law. 1 enjo n
these precepts upon the board of trustee* and their
successor* forever, for tfieir invariable observance
and enforcement, in the administration of the duties
1 have confided to them.*'
