Ewan has caDtured one of South Carolina's most refined and lovely daughters; lie lias become allied to one of the oldest and Eroudest families of the Palmetto State, [e has cause to be justly proud of the alliance. May the fair girl who has thus chosen him as a life companion, lie er rue the hour she cast her lot with * the noble Parker C.

May the world seem ever bright to you, kind friends, and a long life of unalloyed happiness, await you as your journey along the devious paths of tliis changeful world, is the sincere wish of the Clarendon Age. Reaubijcan County Convention.? According to previous announcement, the Couuty Convention met here on Thursday of the lost week, and were three days in making their nominations. XL Goggins was elected Chairman, and L. D. Bowie, and A. H. Harper appointed Secretaries. Owing to contesting delegation from Abbeville, Cedar Springs and Indian Hill, tlic organization of the Convention was a long time delayed, awaiting the report of the committee on credentials. The rules of the House of Representatives were adopted; but afterwards modified so as to make a plurality oie sufficient for a nomination.

Scats have been erected, a ladies' reception room fitted up, and various other additions and improvements have been made. The display of stock, especially, promises to be very fine, and we are sure that the occasion will be one of general enjoyment. TlieJate rains have ?^ settled the dust, and the elear, bracing HP atmosphere invites out-door amusements. Let our people all turn out and r enjoy the gala occ&sion. * 1 Tkxxysox.?a correspondent of one of the Western journals has been lately interviewing Tennyson, the English poet, and finds him a fair specimen of that irritableaud capricious class; with a nervous, awkward manner, a querulous. disagreeable voice, aud himself the embodiment of egotism and self-sufficiency. He writes slowly, and builds up his poems word by word, writing and re-writing some portions as often as fifty times. He is a man of wealth, and to said to Lave made ?00,000 by his pen. He has a delightful home on the Isle iff Wight, and visits London rarely. School in Greenville. ? Miss M. C. McCaw, a native of our County and a sister of the late lamented Wm, H. McCaw, has opened a school in Greenville, at the residence of Col. Mosely. She is a gifted lady, with the talents and acquirements which will qualify her for the duties of teaching. She is also devoting herse'f to the rearing and education of the children of her dekwvtkov an/) fmo will flfsuo )tpp ft WCMIVU UIWUV1| UUU VUIW ?* 4i* ? v new claim to the regard and support of our people. We commend her to the patronage of the Greenville public, with the a?ur&nce that she -will prove a faithful and accomplished instructor. IS- Wm. H. Wickham has been nominated by the Tamany Democratic Convention of New York, for Mayor. He is popular with the ward politicians, and is expected to draw out the plebian vote of the local Democracy. The snc???nf TIM?n tlw Tii>innf?r.itir? rjindidatft /or Governor against Dix, the Republican candidate, depends upon the vote of the city of New York. With 35,000 majority there, and 5,000 In Brooklyn, of Tilden is assured, aa Dix yJU not be able to reach 40,000 majority outside of 2?ew York. c ? " -? ? f Accident on the Greenville and Coltmbia Railroad.?The down pasi?enger train on the Greenville and Coinmhin. Railroad ran off the track one wile above Silver Street, on Friday. The engine, Thomas R. Gary, was turned over, and two stock cars thrown So thediteh, filled with cattle belonging to Mr. Duckworth, but no damage to the stock. The train did not reach Columbia until Saturday morning. B&. Mr. John C. Hodges, a successful planter of Donaldsvllle, was in our office on yesterday, and gave bis experience in C&vor of guano. He has used It on both cotton and corn, and wlthilbe best results, and thinks that the failure of others to obtain the same success is owiug to a want of experience in the application. His succcss has convinced his laborers, who were a long time sceptical, that guano is a good thing and jMtys the cost. Wo regret io learn that Mr. R? E. Hill f quite tick at Williamstou. BgJu Dre. Marshall and i: T? M&brJ, ' j hearing of the siekness in Fart.Pickens, have taken eucouragement and have formed a partnership, with an eye especially turned to that afflicted portion of toWn. Dr. Majshall for years has abaudoncd the practice of medicine, on accountofthe health of the town; but the few cas& 6f chill and fever in Fort Pickens, had induced him to put his name again before the people as a practitioner. "When the Doctor practiced in years past, he was held in high esteem, as a successful physician. Dr. Mabry has few superiors any where, as. a skillful practitioner, and is two well kuowu to need a word of comAendation. ? The Congressional Election.? The recent Democratic victories in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and West Vir-' ginia, seem to foreshadow a controlling majority for the Democrats in the next Congress. The elections which have just been held will likely act on the November elections, and bring about the same majorities. The admissions of Republican journals favor this conclusion. A Democratic majority in Congress means a change in the politics of the country?a change in Federal legislation, and a probable change in the Fed eral government. - i Abbeville School.?In accordance with au announcement which we made & few weeks since, Mr. D. (J. Webb, of Charleston, has arrived, and taken lodging at the Alston House, and will open his school here on Monday next. Mr. Webb is a graduate of Charleston College, and is a gentleman ol fine talents and scholarly attainments. He will doubtless prove an acceptable (eacher, and a valuable acquisition to our town. I We wish him a flourishing school, and much success. The State Board of Equaliza- , tion.?'This board consists of the Governor, Comptroller-General, State Treasurer, and five gentlemen to be elected, one from each Congressional District, to serve for four years. Mr. W. D. Alare haf been nominated from this District, and his name, with the others, will be placed upon the regular Republican , State ticket Mr. Mars is one of our best citizens, and will prove a very ac- 1 ceptable member. Charades.?We take pleasure in calling the attention of our people to the 1 charades to be given by the young ladies (and young gentlemen of our town, on Thursday night, in the court house, and i which promises to be a leading attrac- j tion of Fair week. The programme of exercises presents a varied and pleasant , entertainment, and we have no doubt { will be very attractive. We invoke a < large attendance, and will promise a < rich treat. 1 t _ I HgU The editor of the Greenville . j . .1 ? . +|,? , *\CU'H lias oecu uruuiliuig uicumo, tut result of supping on pig's bead and \ chow-chow; but strange to say, his , dreams were roseate liued, and he rev- ( eled for awhile in the ocean of matrimo- I nial bliss.

It was fortunate- : ly discovered before being placed in the car, or the loss would have been serious. ?, < 1?"" Mrs. Polly Hawthorn, widow of ! the late Thos. Hawthorn, of the neigh- < borhood of Donaldsville, died on Satur- 1 day night of cancer of the face, at tne age of seventy years. She was an esteemed lady, and long a member of the Presbyterian church. Her funeral took place in the presence of a large concourse on Sunday; the Rev. W\ F. Pearson conducting the services. Old John Robinson's Circus exhibited on Monday at Hodges. There were some' three thousand persons present, and the performances are said to have been of a first rate character. Abbeville was well represented on the occasion, and our delegation returned well pleased with the exhibition. The Congressional Canvkss.?Mr. McUowau fired tue nrsi gun 01 uie cam- . paign here on Hattirday. He spoke yesterday at Anderson, and will fill the other appointments during the present < and the next week, closing the canvass < at Columbia on the 31st instant. , Mr. Jacob Miller, our enterprising townsman, has bought the Aboeville Hotel, and is now receiving a large patronage from the travelling public. He is a courteous and obliging host and deserves all the custom he is receiving. Give Mr. Miller a call and he will do hie i best to make your stay pleasaut 16^.

Heed publishes a card in which he gives his reasons for supporting Chamberlain instead of Green. He says in explanation : "That personally, if I knew myself, my political sentiments had undergone no change, but that seeing no hope of success in the bolters' movement, or of benefit to the State if successful, with such a Legislature as would unquestionably follow a heated contest for Governor,. I regarded ~ ' I'mrvrtufnu/IA fV?of fllfi It OI LUC utuiust I IU|/UI utuvu Vfti vuv Conservatives should avoid such a contest, and direct all their energy to securing an able, competent and trustworthy Legislature. If by expressing a preference as between two Republican nominees for Governor, I am made a Republican, I cannot perceive why every other man who votes for. either of tne nominees, are not likewise to be ranked as Republicans, to the utter annihilation of the Democracy in South Carolina. Either this or the success of the bolters' ticket inust be a Denocratic victory, and all Republicans who sustain it, are thereby made Democrats. I do not coucur in either of the propositions, but acting for myself, whatever may be the opinion of others, I promise that, in uo event, shall any one receive at my hands ungenerous criticism." The authoress of the well-written Article which we published from the Progrcmvc Ape last week on the subject of croquet, thus gracefully replies to our proposition to join in mac interesting game. She touches a tender chord when she speaks of the "game of life." That's the game we really wish to play. Other games are often played as preludes or overtures to the "great game." Here ishcranswer: "'The lady who writes for the Progressive Age over the signature of Wicket, Mallet and Balls,' acknowledges, with her most graceful courtesy, the graud salaam of 'the Junior and bachelor partner of the Press and Banner." She accepts with pleasure his invitation to join him in a game of croquet'against Mallet and his partner,' for whose gallautry and prowess she unhesitating answers, notwithstanding his determination to remain ^behind the bush' on a certain recent occasion. The said lady fully sympathizes with 'the Junior' in his oonfi> dence in the result, and ventures to hope for him an equal success in that more perilous game?the 'game of life'? where hearts, alas, are so often 'hit'j through 'bridges' of 'sighs' to be reinorsely 'played upon' by 'boobies' and rovers.'" Ever of Thee," Ac. ? Our friend Womble, of Ninety-Six, who has not regarded the Scripture injunction to 'lay not up for yourselves treasures on ?arth," has exhibited his confidence in the Junior by entrusting to his care the the keeping of his valuable pocket-book which, since it has come into his possession, has not "sunk in its glory nor decayed in its worth." It is said in an ?ld tiook, which may be found in the libraries of some of our citizens, that "the love of money.is the root of all evil." Well, now, we trust that Wornble's pile will not take too strong a root in the affections of the Junior. At Calhoun's Mills two sets of delegates to the County Convention claimed bo be elected.

Editor Press and Banner: I was surprised to find, in a late issue, allusion made to a short, casual conversation had with 3"OU, In the street. I did say that it appears to ffle the report of the committee of Plymouth Church is special pleading, and that Moulton's statement is very damaging to Mr, Beecher; but I was far from desiriug to obtrude crude opinion on the public. It is important to know the characters of the parties, of their surroundings, and of the influences brought to bear. We are too far away for all that. The better coarse will be to defer the forming definite opinions, till after the Courts shall have decided. JAS. EDWARD CALHOUN/ . , We regret to learn that Mr. M. B.
