EASTER-SUNDAY.
Last Sunday was Easter-day?the
Christian Passover, or festival of the
resurrection. It has been observed as a
sacred festival by Christians from the
arliest times, and has been well termed
the queen of festivals. The Church sit
ting, as it were, in sack cloth and ashes
during the long period of the Lenten
season, now puts on its festival robes to
commemorate the most illustrious event
in its history?the resurrection of its
rissn Lord. Well do the buds and flow
ers which crown its altars and decorate
its courts?first fruits of the genial
Bpring?typify the conquering power of
that Life, which unbarred the Gates of
Death and rose triumphant from the
Grave,
There was long a question which di
vided the Eastern and Western church
as as to the proper time of celebrating
Easter. It was finally settled by adopt
ing the rule which makes Easter-day
the first Sunday after the full moon
Which happens upon or next after the
21st March; and if the full moon hap
pen on a Sunday, Easter-day is the Sun
day after. Thus Easter may comc as
early as the 22d March, or as late as the
25th April. During the present year it
is some ten days earlier than it was last
year.

tion. Spring had lent its choicest flow
ers, and skillful fingers had woven
them into mauy forms of beauty to
typify the soul-inspiring associations of
the day. Wreaths and garlands, aud
festoons, and crosses, and crowns, and
devices and inscriptions, all symbolized
the joys and triumphs of a new and
conquering life. Entering the vestibule
of the Church, the spectator was first

by Magnolia blossoms. On the left of
4he reading desk was the inscription,
"Christ is risen from the dead," and
bove a Maltese cross; and on the right
of the pulpit the inscription, "Death is

well harmonized with the lovely interior
of the Gothic building, and were per
haps more beautiful than the stained
glass window, and the graceful tracery

the triumph of medieval art.
The religious excercises were very
interesting and impressive, and the at
tendance was unsually large. The open
ing anthem "Coronation," end the mu
sic generally, were rendered with fine
eifect by the choir; and the discourses of
the Rector, Rev. E. R. Miles, morning
and afternon, upon the evidences, exter
nal and internal, of the resurrection,
were especially able and eloquent.
At the Methodist Church, the
Pastor, Rev. William T. Capers,
preached in the morning from the
text in tho 34th ver9e of tho 24th
chapter of Luke: ''The Lord is risen
indeed." At night his text was part
of the 10th verse of tho 1st chapter
of Timothy: "Our Saviour Jesus
Christ who has abolished death, and
hath brought life and immortality to
light through the Gospel."

John C* Chiles. At this late day,
perhaps, it would be a work of su
pererogation to supplement the
argument of the well-posted agent
by attempting to show the impor
tance of life insurance. The assur
ance, as We may well assume, that
that point is settled, and that the
judgment of our people is suppor
ted by the most sub6tanial reasons.
The only question to be deter
mined is, in what Company shall I
insure? The Universal answers
that question by showing that it
offers premiums twenty or thirty
per cent lower than those charged
by tbe mutual companies, and that

The Value of Manufactures.
The value of manufactures in stim
ulating tho dcvelopement of wcait
and the increase of'population are
ul early and forcibly presented in the
following extract from an articlo in
ine .tucnmona uispaicn: i
"The value of manufactures in in
creasing wealth and power of a com
munity cannot be over-estimated.
There can be no great city without
manufactures. There is no great city
which does not ma1 nfacturo a vast
amount of fabrics. It is in reference
to Us manufacturingfacililies that we
look upon Richmond as destined to
become one of the largest inland cities
in the Union, and possibly the very
largest,
' Five hundred thousand dollars in
vested in manufacturing would give
to llichmond more population and. a
more rapid increase of wealth than
would five millions of dollars em
ployed in merchandise. The business
of merchandise employs only a small
number of mon in proportion to capi
tal, while manufacturing requires a
great" number. In the matter of
buying and selling we only retain the
gains in the transaction, and in case
of dealing in imported goods we send
all except the gains that is paid for
those goods out of the country. In
manufacturing we keep everything.
The raw material, save in some small
er branches of art, is prod need or
mined in our own country. The" con
verting of it into fabrics is the final
enhancement of tho value of raw
material, and when it is sold and sent
away its whole value is retained at
liomo. The miner gets pay for his
labor, and the manufacturer gets his,
while the wealth of the-State la in
creased more rapidly than by any
other means.
"Then we must count the business
of the feeding, and clothing, and
lodging of a htrgo population, which
add so much to the prosperity of trade
and 60 much to the valuo of real es
tate and tho rents of landlords We
repeat, a capital of five hundred thous
and dollars in manufacturing will give
employment to more people than five
millions of dollars employed in mer
chandising. The reader may have
some better appreciation of numbers
in this matter when we aay that the
Tredegar Works have given employ
ment at ono time to fourteen hundred
men, arid could, when full, of work,
employ muny more. But take four
teen hundred, and estimate the num
ber of families, and of "helps" required

have, through those works alone, a
population of at least six thousand
people. The capital of the Tredegar
Works invested in merchandise would
hardly emploj* more than a hundred
men, if that wany.
Reported Death of Henry Berry Lowrey.
Henderson, the correspondent
of the New York Herald, recently
with the .Lowrcys, says:
Between February 13 and 16, in
company with his fidvs Admits?Boss
Strong ?Henry Berry Lowrey was
ranging in the country in the neigh
borhood of Moss Neck, i'i search of
some persons whom, he had been in
formed, were htintfng him, while
Stove and Tom Lowrey and Andrew
Strong were stationed ata rendezvous
on Lumber River, near tho (,new
bridge."" Aboufcone and thvce-qnarter|
miles from Moss Ncclc station, within j
short gun-shot of tho road leading
from Inman's Bridge to McNeil's mill,
they discovered in the bushes a rcwly
maile "blind," (a place of concealment
or ambush made by intertwining the!
thickly-grown bushes.) It was not,
then occupied, and Henry Beny, be
lieving it had been recently made by
one of his pursuers, who would short
Ijt return to it, ensconseed himself in
it, while Boss made a blind lor himself
a short distance off, covering the road
But a few minutes after they had
placed themselves in their respective
positions, the report of a gun was
heard from Henry's hiding place, and
wnun dup.i wnu ? uiitu iu iiuui u tvwtu
from his chief or an answering shot
from an enem}*, cautiously approached
the spot, Henry Berry Lowrey lay on
his back, with one barrel of his shot
gun discharged, and his nose, forehead
and whole front of his head blown off.
The broken ramrod and missing wi
per showed lie had been trying to
draw a load from his gun. Hoss drew
the body .into a thicket, and notified
his companions, who straightway
buried him where, in all human prob
ability, tho eye of man will see him
Devcr.
Thus perished this remarkable man,
and his death marks the desolation of
this most formidable body of despera
does. The large sum of mono}' he
was said to be in possession of is also
lost to the countiy, for no member of
the band, not even Boss nnr his wife,
knew ihe whereuboufis of his f.retisiirn
chest. The remaining outlaws have
maJe diligent search, but as yet have
had i lie?r labor for their pains. Hen
ry Bc-'-v was said to have bad a good
deal of money, besides his share of tne
proceeds of the Lumberton Bank,
1' om which some $30,000 were taken.
I; appears to have been hia habit of
appropriating to bis own use the lion's
share of all moneys taken, giving his
subjects the other booty.

tour through the United States: ;
"If 1 had anything unpleasant to
say, I should remain silent and not i

kind, that I can only regret I could i
not remain longer; and if I did not i
liave my path in life laid out for <

from May to January between New <

I may go back there if I can."
Bgk- Our neighbor, of the A. R. Pres
byterian, says that the Chester lieporler
is the only paper that noticed the open
ing of the Bummer Session of that pros
perous Institution, the Due West Fe
male College.
The notice in the Presbyterian was
clipped for our paper, but was not, by
some means, set up the week we intend
ed to publish it, and it was afterwards
overlooked. It has always been a pleas
ure for us to publish any notice of the
Due West Colleges. In our paper of
March C, may be found a long notice of
the Due West Female College, which
was copied from the Presbyterian, and
in an issue of a later date was published
a notice of Erskine College. We hear
tily wish Mr. Bonner, and the fine Fe
male Institution over which he presides
the largest measure of success. We be
lieve it to be one of the best institutions
in the State, and the large number of
students in attendance every year give
the best evidence of the high apprecia

me WasniDgton Treaty.
The correspondence between the
Government of the United States
and Great Britain, relative to indi
rect damages alleged to have been
sustained during the late war, has
thus far readied no practical solu
tion. The position of Great Brit
ain is that she has fully discharged
her duties as a neutral, and that
there can attach to her Government
or people, according to internation
al law, not the slightest respond
bility. The United States have af
firmed otherwise, And upon this
issue was directly made. There
suit was, the late treaty and the
reference of this question to arbi
trators mutually chosen, to meet at
Geneva.
Wheu, however, the Amebian
uu.se was presented 11 was ituuu iu
contain claims for consequential
damages, in addition to the ques
tions supposed to bo involved and
submitted, and which amount to
millions of dollars. In other words,

Britain was to be responsible for
the fitting out or construction of
Confederate cruisers, and for the
actual losses thus sustained, but

I thought you would not object to be
g kept posted in some District matters
id write you
On last Monday afternoon, the 18th,
le of pur citizens met with a serious mis
rtune, in having his dwelling and its
ntents entirely consumed by fire. Mr.
filliam C. Robinson, a very worthy
lung man, was the unfortunate person.
,e lives near Dr. J. W. Hearst. The
re was purely acoidental-^it was first
iscovered about 2.o'clock P. M. Mr.
i. was in the- field at work, his wife was
i t.ho kitphon nitenriirur to nnme ilnmpR
c matters. The dwelling is supposed
? have caught from the kitchen chim
ey as there was a large fire oil in there,
[r. R. lost everything, even, his papers
[id about $20.00 in money. Mr. R.
nd his neighbors, came to the house
iid saved his provisions, cosn, bacon, &c.
he neighbors went to work next day
nd commenced putting up a log cabin
>r Mr. R. and he and his family are in
now. They have also made donations
) him of various household goods for
hlch he is. very thankful. Mr. It.
'as badly wounded during our late war,
ime home after the surrender, and by
ard work had accumulated around him
irerythlng to make home comfortable,
re has the sympathies of the whole
immunity.. )
You havo the inside track on the
tedium, and, have gained for youreeH
le continued confidence of your friends
nd made new ones. You unearthed
lem, brought them, to the surface and
xposed themiu their true light.

Tha Public Schools?An Enquiry.
Iditor Abbeville Press and Banner:
Your two last issues have contained
ery favorable notices of speeches made
y the State Superintendent of Public
chools, one Mr. Jillson. I have no idea
ho his audiences were, or what he told
lem ; but I have often wondered if he
>ld them, what I am informed, the
ouuty School Commissioner, Thos. M.
Williamson, says he (Jillson) told him,
> wit: "If a Southern man presents
is claim lo you for teaching a public
;hooi, it matters not whether he is
lack or white, disapprove his claim. But
U, ilUiUlC.U
pprove it."
A teacher of a public school iu Abbe
ille County says his claim was disap
roved by Williamson, and this was the
sason assigned for the disapproval.
Are these official instructions? and if
ot, why does Williamson refuse, as he
as done, to approve the accounts prc
mted by teachers .for teaching public
jhools, when such teachers' have been
roperly examined and commissioned or
censed, or whatever the term of quali
catioii Is? QUI VIVE.
"PRO BONO PUBLICO."
- ,r : T
At the present day no sane and Intel
gent man will deny the great benefit
Bcruing to our people from a just sys
:m of Life Insurance.
It is no longer a question whether a
mn should or not insure?for if he is
le provident husband and father he
lould be, he will not neglect this para
lount duty. The hue and cry of "Pa
onize home institutions," "Keep your
loney at home," fails to find its wonted
nchantment, and our people are awa
ening to a just appreciation of their inn
srest to theinsekves and their families,
nd are no longer lulled by the strange
lfatuation that no good can come out of
ankeedom?what we Southern people
ant in Life Insurance are two things?
rst of all perfcct security, which no
outheru Company has given except the
iedinont & Arlington, it having passed
le rigid, inspection of the Insurance
epartment of New York?after security,
re should ask ourselves this important
uestion, where cau I get the most insu
ince'/or the very least outlay of money ?
he Universal Life of New York claims,
id cun maintain that claim, that she is
ot deficient in either of these essentials,
s to security she is upon the same basis
' all New York companies; which
laces her above suspicion, and as to her
Ltes, she defies campetition. All de
