tub weather.
For a period of two or three weeks we have
b en blessed with bright bill my spring weather.
On tho lost night of February, however, a change
occurred, and the approach of March was heralded
by cold boisterous blasts from the frozen north, admonishing
early gardeners that winter had not
loosed his icy grasp upon young and blooming
spring. On Sunday and Monday mornings ice
whs plentiful, with n heavy frost on Tuesday. Wc
fear this sudden change from summer to winter has
injured the fruit trees, many of whose blooms hod
expanded their petal* under the genial influence el
the latter weeks of February. Perhaps, however,
^ less damage has been sustained than our fears lead
us to suppose.
The following range of the thermometer will afford
a better idea ol the weather than our words:

k stroxg-miToed woman.
The usual monotony o( our quiet village was invaded
hist Wednesday by Miss Emerson-on Eaucrn
or Northern importation?the only specimen of the
genus strong minded women we have seen for
years. She drove her own horse, harnessed, unharnessed,
fed and watered him, and done other
acts equally unnecessary and masculine, as "mine
host" of the Walker House very well knows?even
to the putting away of 'inside matter' sufficient to
satiate three specimens of the genus homo for nn
o: dinary meal.
She trudged through tho mud caused by a shower
on Wednesday posting her hills, and did other
things to make In r preseno felt and known?including
n brief visit to our sanctum. At night she lee
tared?if her jurnble could be called a lecture?at
the old Ilnptisl Church, and stopped just when the
audience (among whom was not a single female?
not even a curious wcnch) thought she was beginning
her subject.
A second night's attempt to show off utterly fail?-d,
nud before our people were astir noxt morning,
lie was over the hills and far awn)*. Thus ended
iho first appearance of a strong-minded woman in
Spartanburg.
TUB FBMnVcOLLEflB.
We are pleased to learn from the worthy Treei"deiit
of the iiistitntion that the Spartanburg Female
College has commenced the Spring Term with
ninety undergraduates?and before a fortnight the
number will be swelled to one hundred. This is
certainly very cheering to the friend* of the e >ii? gc,
anJ offers a strong incentive to redoubled ez^rdon
on the part of the faculty.
~ Wo are pleased to know that Rev. Mr. Crenm*
*ha*Y, the new professor, is at hi* post, and has already
made himself a decided favorite with the
young ladies.
During the vacatiou n large Dining liall, with
Additional recitation rooms, have been erected, giving
greater facilities and comfort to attendauoe upon
college duties, and greatly aiding the faculty in their
several departments.
Altogether, the institution starts under auspice*
highly fl ittering to a long and brilliant career of
uscluluess and honor.
INSPECTION OF RIFLES.
This new and handsome uniformed company,
Capt. G. W. II. Legg, was inspected last Friday
by Brigade Inspector J. II. Evins, on whom the
task had been devolved by Adjutant and Inspector
General Duuovant. The company formed At their
rendezvous?the Bontar House?and marched to
tiic mall near Major Kirby's, where the inspection
t ok place. The ranks were well filled, and an inspection
of the roll showed sixty-five members as
belonging to the corps. We l.-nrn that the Inspecting
ofliccr was hghly pleased with tlio beautiful
uniform, and will report favorably to his superior.
The cap is the army pattern, of gray cloth and
white fountain plume. The coat aud pan'.s, gray
cadet cloth, with green velvet trimming and palmotto
buttons. The whole is neat, showy and substantial,
and Spartanburg may well be proud of this
body of citizen soldiery. The company will probably
be fully equipped in time for the first battaliun
;nu-?ter of the spring.
HILSTARY" ELKCTION.
On the 27th ultimo an election was held within
the limits of the North Battalion of the 9th Regiment

pi ment to Mr. W. B. Carlisle, one of the editors
<>f the Charleston Courier, nnd formerly ol Hie Coluinbin
Telegraph, is paid by Mr. Baldwin, of Richmond,
who recently visited Charleston to lecture
before the Young Men's Christian Association:
"Mr. Carlisle is a yonng gentleman of blight

of the finest specimens of n high-souled and wholesouled
Carolina gentleman I have ever seen. lie
graduated with great distinction at tho South Carolina
College in Columbia, and has applied his fine
powers nnd acquirements with unflagging energy
to his honorable vocation. It requires no prophet
to predict for such a inan a brilliant and useful future.
It is no matter of surprise that the journalists
of South Carolina occupy so high a place in the
respect nnd confidence of that community, when
we find its ranks filled hy men so eminently calculated
fo guide and enlighten public opinion."

NEGRO TRIALS.
U"mp, the property of Win. Lockwot^, wu
tried before Magistrate G. W. II. Legg and lire
freeholders on Saturday lost, for burglary, in breaking
into the ?loro-of Messrs. Lec & Briggs, on the
18th ult.,and taking moucy llierelrom. After hearing
evideneo and apecchee from counsel, the jury
rendered a verdict of guilty as accessory before the
fact, and sentenced him to one hundred and fifty
lashes in weekly inflictions of fifty, nnd imprisonment
until the 16th inst. After the fulfilment of
? this pirt of the sentence,his owner,or whoever may
, then have control of the negro, is privileged to reI
move him from the State. Should this not be done,
he is then to be re imprisoned, nnd subjected to
1,000 lushes, nt certain stated periods and in specified
instalments.
We understand Mint an appeal has been taken to
^ a Judge nt Chambers, on exceptions. The case
was to be heard nt Union, before Judge Whitner,
we believe, on Wednesday night.
' John, the property of Mrs. M. A. Kennedy, who
was inculpated in the burglary, was also placed upon
trial before the same magistrate and another jury.
' After hearing evidenae and dt fence by counsel,
the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
Andrew, the property of K. W. Parker, was
also tried for being concerned, but the evidence
wan such as to require a verdict of acquittal.
The misconduct of many negroes in our midst
calls loudly for remedy. Gambling and drinking
are becoming fearfully common. These things can
be practised with much facility in the absence of
efficient patrolling. If this necessary duty cannot
be more faithfully performed, we think it behoves
Council to make provision for paid marshals, who
should be abroad at nil hours, in conjunction with
such patrol assistants as circumstances may compel
( to render service.
While on this subject, we may say generally,
' that our negro population manifest rapid improvement
in unbecoming conduct. We instance the
flourishing of canes and open smoking in the
streets. Indeed, we have seen the deadly rifle in
the hnmlii of blinks In lltn IYnsl?-'u-? anrl an nnaH.
ness exhibited in its use that would not hishonnrthe
famous Kentucky marksman. There is much that
is wrong in this, nnd the Attention of those who hold
the remedy should be turned to the matter.
Chester has suffered from the absence of disciplinary
regulations, and from necessity has recently
enacted nn ordinance of restraint. The following
provision i? worthy the attention of our Council,
and, if they lutvc the power, we hope to see it made
ct force:
"That any slave or free peraon of o lor who shall
be found drunk or shall otherwise misbehave, by
acting ins noisy or boistrous manner,or by singing
an indecent song or holloning within the limits of
the said town, shall for rnch and every offence receive
not exceeding one hundred lashes, and any
slave or free person of color who shall smoke a cigar
in any street or in nnv open and public place
in the town, or shall walk with n oane, club or
stick, (except the Inmc, infirm or blind,; shall for
each and every offence leocivcnot exceeding twenty
lashes."
THE AIR-LINR RAILROAD.
At the kite session of the South Carolina legislature
a charter was granted for the right of way
through this State of "The Georgia Air-Line Railroad
Company." J. P. Keed, Ksq., in a letter on
the subject, furnishes the following facts as to its
route ntid privileges:
"A charter has been granted by this State, con
ferring ample powers upon the company, to construct
their road from the Georgia State line to
the town of Anderson, nnd (ruin thence, in any direction
nnd to any point, they may deem expedient
through the territory of this State, so as to form a
direct central line of communication between the
great Northern and Southern cities of the Union.
I have said that the powers by tlie charter in this
State are Ample, and I may indeed add, that they
are very nearly plenary. Unlike most other Railroad
charters heretofore ganted by our Legislature,
it is not encumbered with mere matins of detail,
which are properly left to the company,nnd embraces
in n concise nod simple form such provisions
j only as it is really necessary to provide by statute.
i op nmouni 01 mop* necessary Jo secure I lie charter,
the time within which it shnll bo subscribed, and
tlio period when the work shall la* commenced nod
completed, nre nli matters left to the decision ol the
company, and in fact the only limitation ns to time,
imposed upon the coui|>nny, is that their charter
insure to them for the |H-rio<i of only one hundred
and ninety years, which is quite ns near perpetual,
I suppose, as any friend of the enterprise could desire.
The right of the company to locate the route
of their road through the State of South Carolina
is quite ns ample. The only point definitely fists!
in the cha'ter is the town of Anderson, frutn
whence they nro permitted to cunstiurt u road to
any point, in their discretion, in the direction of
Charlotte, North Cnrobnn, or otherwise, if they
should so elect, a connecting l>uk between the
Greenville and Charlotte Railroads from the town
of Newberry to the town of Chester. Thus you
will see tlivy have the entire upper part of the
Stale of S mill Carolina over which to select the
route of their Road. Rut 1 apprehend that a natural
anxiety for the early completion of thegrrit
Northern and Southern thoroughfare in cnmleinplatiou,
and a due regard to economy of construction,
will suggest the propriety of adopti. g the Infer alternative,
by connecting the Greenville and Charlotte
Roads from Newberry to Chester. If this
shou * be the conclusion of the company, they will
have to construct not exceeding one hundred and
seventy milea of road, to perfect a connection be
tween Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina; estimating
the distance trom Atlanta to Anderson at
one hundred and twenty-five miles, and from Newberry
to Chester at forty-five miles, which I feel as
burcd nre extreme figures. The distance from Anderson
to Newberry by tlie road now in operation
is seventy-five miles, and from Chester to ClinrlottO
fifty miles; so that yon will perceive the emiro dmta
ce from Atlanta to Charlotte by this route does
not exceed two hundred and ninety five miles. The
distance between tho.se points by the several Railroads
now in operation is about four hundred and
sixteen miles, which makes a difference of one hundred
and twenty-one miles in favor of the proposed
ronto for the Air lane Road. I do not know
the precise length of other competing routes, hut I
feel assured ili.it the Air I/no Komi, constructed
I upon tlie route suggested, will be n.>t lo?* thin one
hundred miles shorter, between Washington and
New Orleans, than nny other either constructed or
in coiitctnpliition. It 1 nin correct in this opinion,
tho immediate construction of the 'Air-I/ne Road'
is nn object that must induce the Co-operation of
the capitalist both North and South."
From Kansas. ? \ difficulty occurred in Kansas
recently, resulting in the death of a Mr. Slierrod.
Tho following despatch explains the transaction:
Sr. Loins, Feb. 23.?The Jefferson City correspondent
of the St. l?nis Democrat barns that p is

between Gov. (Jenry and Mr. Sherrod, growing
out of the refusal of the former to appoint the latter
Sheriff, as desired by the legislature, tvhich haJ n
fatal termination. Sherrod avowed his purpose of
killing Gov Geary, lie met th? Governor in the
street and spit in his face, which the Governor did
n?t resent, but his friends got up nn indignation

"C0BRUPT10H IN CONGREMT
We stated briefly last week that the Congressional
Investigating Committee had reported to the ]
House in favor of (lie* expulsion of four Northern for
members who had sold thwir votes on questions de- nm
pending before Congress. The (ollowiug resolu- P.

dictates of his judgment and conscience on a bill "
making a grant of lands to aid in the construction |

The following resolutions are appended to there- Um

The committee also report a bill to protect tlie cai

The New York correspondent of the Charleston ?iK

"One of the members of Cong' ess from this State, <
whom the Committee reported ought to b?* expelled, <fr
publicly boasted in Albany, some time since, that

during the first session of the present Con- ,j,c

Tl?o Washington correspondent of the Chnrlts- tra

Committee to the thanks of the country, nnd we j
are glad to find our iinmedinte Representative oc- js t
copying so high and honorable n position in drag- '
ging these disgraoeful trniv.actions to the light:
"The public owe a debt of gratitude to Gil. Orr ^
of your State, Judge Warner of Georgia, Messrs.
Davis of Maryland and Ritchie of Pennsylvania, for j(.(
having done so much to bring to its view the men
wlio have really corrupted the roiirc<-s from
whence our laws originate. As for William If. ^
Kelsey, of New York, the Chairman of the Committee,
upon whoso instance the invtsligation
wm. instituted, he has enveloped himself in a ^
cloud of surmise, which lias been brought about
by bit own conduct, nnd which, whether just ?t jV
unjust, has caused a whispering about hitn to be ^
indulged in not at all creditable to him. He was
tlio man who nro*e iu his place, terribly excited, '
about what he Conceived to be an imputation upon ! "* _
the charneter of the House nnd iill'.-i-wl ? lotion . *
upon which ihc Committee was raised, lie np- | j'('|
|wnred to cordially co-operate with committee; but I
when the lime came to test his nerve upon rojM.rt- i j
' intc resolutions to expel the corrupted, he showed j ^V'
the cow leather, nnd withheld his assent to repot ts to ] j
which no sane and honest man could reasonably j ^
demur. Therefore, whenever any credit is attached \
to this Committee for the good work it has done, |
let William II. Kclsey he expected, ntid let Messrs.
Orr, Warner, Davis and Ritchie, receive all the
t o mi
praise for the same."
I *"1
It seems that the telegraph was in error in stating t|n
llinl the four Black Republican number* were ex of
pelled. The following report of IIousi-procee lines !l"
! on the 27th reveals the plan l?y which they were
I enabled to escape expulsion: ,.ri
Mr. fiilbert. in his spi-ech of defence, denied the tin
| truth of the charges ng >inst hint, and denounced soi
| the attempt of the House to fix a stigma oil his cit
character as unprecedented, He charged the House ' en
wiih gross injustice towards him, and concluded by w.i
stating that he had resigned his seat, which lie did, \ T!
and immediately left. The House was taken by coi
surprise. Resolutions in his ense were tabled by j cu
135 against 08. A letter was submitted from Mr. ; N<
Mattcson setting forth that as iio trial was allowed , tin
to Mr. fiilbert, lie (Mr. M.) had no right to ex|>cct tni
a large measure of justice, and had reigned Ins j no
sent. The first resolution was adopted by 145 bit
against 17 ; the second ndopted, nnd the third ta- ey
bh-d. | sin
Mr. Davis called up Mr. Welch's esse. | tal
Win a the House exculpated Mr. Welch from ,n
the cliargi s alleged against liirn by the Corruption i
Committee. 0r
Til* New Mexican Treat*.?Mr. Forsyth
| has concluded a highly important treaty with Mexi- an
co. Of course its provisions are as yet only guessed ,
I at. The Black Republican journals arc filled with I
i alarm lest it contain features of acquis tion. The c<'
| Washington Fro, commenting on tlic following rx- ; ^ci
tract from the New York Herald in reference to
j it, concludes it preposterous to suppose tli.it our go- J
I fcrnm-ni would loan Me*.c > sixteen millions on I lr>
]rss tangible security tli.an another ' ?Iioo'' u! the ; hei
rich domain or our neighbor. We think it very 'hi
probable, fiotn the secrecy and anxiety to get the ha
treaty to Washington before the adjournment of' ar<
Congress, and ilie ratifications returned to Mexico i I'1
before its provisions transpire tbero and ovci throw , ?oi
the government "f Comonfort TliO following is al
what the Herald says of the objeets of the treaty: ! *?l
I "A treaty was signed last night between the ?
United States and Mexico, by which the United tra
, States are to loan Mexico J.10,000,1100, receiving g0
, us security fi fteen per cent, of the customs; and j
some arrangement for more uniestricled commercial
intercourse is to he made, as a further eon- ,
si deration. Of this sum, $.1,000,000 poee to pay ' "
1 American claims; and, at the same time, a postal J,n'
treaty poes into operation. With this money the slu
(iovermnent can strengthen itself, nnd will be rn>- of<
boldenod at once to carry out tlie great reforms of ^
| tlie day, take ciiurcb property, &c." ?
Tlio Washington correspondent of llio Baltimore "

tlie treaty embiacts a cession to (lie United

A SABBATH AT CEDAR SPRING. Ti
[| WW my pleasure to visit this pUoe, celebrated The
the establishment of a school for the deaf, dumb beer

Walker,on last Sunday. The imprca-ions made his i
my mind while witnessing the ordinary proces- felt i
employed for imparling instruction to this un- T
tuualo class were never so profound nnd grave in a
on this occasion. Heretofore I have been in- rien<
evted, deeply interested, in the practical w rk- "I
^ of Mr. Walker's plan to educate the mind of U,M^
deaf and dumb?in noticing the facility with
licli they learned their studies, nnd the thorough- afu.r

licit is acquirable in this delightful sabbatical j?|,j|

ougli agencies so different from those who liavo ,et,?
. . , ? . th? 1

spectacle upon which angels w >uld delight to his I

i deaf to the sweet melodies of nature, whose eyes one
! closed to the beauties of the visible handiwoik wj)0
the great God, imbibing notions of their great of n
cator, of his goodness to the most unfortunate of nnd
i eroatnrcs, in a thousand different ways, is a sight
II calculated to interest and soften the mind and u
irt of the most obdurate Gallio. Not only did of M
?y recite well?answer promptly the qttos Jons of f?*?
rir catechisms,?but they exhibited an interest in
subject of contemplation of such intensity, as to |y n!
iionstrate that there was a harmony nnd corrcs- in 1
idence between bible truth nnd the moral facul- 'nR
i which are eternal. A.t the elosu of the lessons
the several classes Mr. Walker, in the sign-Ian- vo]u
age, gave a moral lecture, iu which he impressed coui
i truths to which their attention had In-eii direct- "j
Example, illustration, nnd every mode of pre- .(I

is sufficient proof of tho wisdom of that kille

te Syracuse Courier gives tlio following interest"
account of thw largest sugar plantation ill
n:
1 his estate is very properly called the 'Flor de
as/ (Flower of Cuba.) There are other estates ]
irgu and larger, but none that have such perfect
lunery, and which have laid out so much mon
for tl it and on buildings. There are nbout
10 ncreg of land, nearly throe-quarters of which
under cultivation with sugar cane, the balance
g devoted to grazing and plantain fields. Tlio
lu?t of this estate, of course, varies with diflcrycars;
thus, last year, owing to the rains, they
J not cut all their cane and it fell short, but it's
cut average crop is 10,000 boxes nnd 1,000
shcads of sugar, and its gross income at present
is will be from $320,000 to $350,(H)0. of this
-inoussuin about one-half is absorbed by interin
iu debt and by its annual expenses. There
G5l) hands?350 negroes nod 250 Chinese.
r?*?t arc overseers, enrtmen, coopers, engineers,
There are 80 ox-carts for drawing tho csnc
iu mill, and GOO oxen, four being used fo every
, and they arc relieved twiecn day. There are
y buildings in this village, for it is almost like
llcsidcs 'lie sugar-house, there are the dwellhouses
for the owner and ibr the overseers, the
ng-houses, the Inwpitnl, the Iwraeoun* for the
?, and even a nursery fur the children of the \
l-s.
lie sugar house here is the principal attraction, j
it n no ? riorinous alTier. It is nil one floor and
:red by a single ro?f, and its interior is some
t sinr.lar to that of some o our largo mgnr re ies
in New Yoik. There are two large roiling
i for ? rushing the cone, each with three rollers
eel long, and places! on the top o! two, the Cane
ing itself an l paving under one and over the
r two rollers, it emu a out squeezed almost dry,
asli.it as a sheet of paper?the juice runs dow n
troughs. These rollers are * t very close, with
ii eighth of an inch <>l each other, and the press
is enormous- To drive these roller* there is nn
no of fifty horse |lower. The juice then is car
hy |>uin|>s to a set of fourteen kettles, whereby
hi it is condensed, mid then il runs through a
! of carhuii or huriil bone 111 another set of eis*;
it is then carried to a vacuum pan, where it is
minted, then over n set <>f Copper pipes for conuitiun,
again through the charcoal tor deoolorllien
into another vacuum pan, where it is boili>
aerystaliring point. It is then carried off to
her part of the building, and by copper ladles is
tied into the sugar moulds, loading about siity
ids each, where in another day it is ready for
ing. Tliis process is only followed where it is
tided to in.ike bos sugar, which is always clayivhile
that picked in hogshead* is called rnusco>,
and is packed into the casks in a green state,
re it is then allowed to purge itself for fifteen or
ity day*, and is then ready lor shipment. On
estate they make mostly clayed or box sugar,
the process of claying is this. The moulds
.-lining the green sugar are placed mi a long
in a loom holding from 800 to 1,000 moulds;
po'nt of the mould is below the level ol the floor,
h is made with square holes for their support:
- the sugar has set in the moulds the plug at tlio
nm is taken out, and on the base or upper flat
ice ol the sugar is placed a quantity of black
y clay, which has the property of distributing
water very equally through it. This clay is wet
the water tillers slowly through the body of the
ir, earrjing w ith it all color,and leaving the base
le cone perfectly white. This process a repeatever..I
turn s,and the sugar is kept in this house
ihout twenty days. It is then turned out of the
ilds into large open, flat, wooden trays, and the
relit layers of strata of sugar is divided hy a
re, with a large cleaver, into white, brovrna nd
>w, that nearest the |*>int is still colored with
isses and not very dry. These- several classes
all kept hy themselves, and the sugar is dried
L-r by the sun or by ovens, and then packed into
s holding about -l(H> pounds each. Those are
i naded and strapp-d hy pieces of green eow
in narrow strips, the boxes weighed, branded,
ready for transport to market."
