A. Lowry was elected Mod- 1 fm^^raior, and presided with ease, transact- r ing the business with dispatch. c THE DELEGATES. % There was a pretty full delegation of the ministers and lay delegates of that ? Synod present, whose appearance was- "j prepossessing. The gentlemen partici- ji pating in the deliberations of that body x acted iu that spirit of Christian deco- 0 , rum for which the members of the A. r It. Church are so much characterized, f The meeting was a harmonious and f, pleasant one. t THE BUSINESS AND ATTENDANCE. t Besides the regular business of Synod, ^ ^sermons were delivered every day to very r large audiences, who had assembled to { * listen to the proceedings of Synod, and g hear goqrf sermons. j THE UNITED PRESBYTERIANS. s On Friday Rev. Dr. Dales, of Phila- ]( delphia, and Rev. Dr. McClure, of n Wheeling, West Virginia, as delegates i, ? TT. !i. 1 - .1 i. ; ru ironi ine umieu rresoyiermu v^nuiuu 10 of the North, made speeches presenting j, their kind feelings and apparent de- c ?ire for Christian-fellowship with their p Southern brethren. These addresses ^ were well received, and made good im- 0 pressions. The United Presbyterians of the North and the Associate Reformed Presbyterians of the South, hold the same religious tenets, except as to the old slavery question, which difference of opinion many years ago caused a di- h vision of the Church North and South, b It would seem that the union with 0 the United Presbyterians of the North s is not as much to be desired as a union v with the Presbyterians of this country, b with whom our social and political feel- b ings are in accord. j] THE REVISION OF THE PSALMS. u The matter of revising the Psalms n also received the attention of Synod. a It seems that on this subject the Church itself is not exactly a unit, mauy preferring to use the version which was adopt- P ed a few years ago, and others desiring ^ to adopt still a later version of the ^ ; songs of praise, ltev. J. E. Pressly, an!11 eminent divine, represents that portion: P which favors a new version, and wa-s'H iraon oota ntit nn Q fvtnimittop tn ! U DC?C?Oi y VUIO "fjV |/MW Vii w W4iuu??i,t.vv vv prepare a version which should be more acceptable to the whole Church. The p committee have done considerable work, 0 and made a verbal report which was re- y ceived as information, and the commit- jj tee continued, with the exception of Dr. u Grier, who. inconsequence of a press of i\ other duties, was relieved from further M duty in the work. The subject has ex- v ercised the minds of the best people of t] ; that Church for many years, ana it is j| quite probable that it will not soon be r satisfactorily settled to all the parties. IJBKRAL FRIKNDS. The report of the progress of the eudowmont of Erskinc College showed ti that this fund had been increased to b fifty-nine thousand dollars?quite a sum b ' for these hard times. Of this amount Dr. Hearst contributed some teu or w twelve thousand dollars, and Mrs. lo Wallace, of Kentucky, also gave to the!a fund about fifteen thousand dollars.!P These two donations were given with t< these stipulations: the Financial Board u of the College were to pay to the Ken- " tucky benefactress six percent, interest ? on the sum during her life, and they ? were to pay to Mrs. Hearst three and a si half per cent, ou the Doctor's bequest p during her life. From this statement it P will be seen that from some of this h niODey the College can realize but little d at present.; THE FINANCIAL. SITUATION. C The Treasurer of Synod reported 1 $1,400 in the Bank of Chester, subject to n the order of Synod, after paying $600.00, balance due to Professors of the Theological Seminary. j2 The financial matters of the Synod, it appears to us, are in a good condition ^ when they have, above all demands, s) some $800 seeking investment. THE ENDOWMENT. Q] The endowment fund is not quite as j. large, however, as the friends hoped to p . t have it by this time. Their eftort has ? > funiJ tun tliniiconH UCCU tu 1UUtuov liiuv iUUM W?i V1IVU^MUV4 ^ j ,ifJ dollars annually. Dr. Hemphill has r, i ' "been untiring in his efforts to eudow the j6 College, and has perhaps done more to ^ secure the endowment than all the mem- ? t. bers of Synod combined. p THE A. K. MINISTERS. [j The Associate Reformed ministers are j. . uuted for their high personal character e and Christian piety, lu all their number there is not one who does not pay his debts. Wherever you see an A. It. preacher, you can rely upou him. p THEIH RKCEPTION. si During Synod every household enter- e taiued visitors with their warmest, w heart-felt congratulations, and we know a that many brethren will leave Due n "West with renewed evidence of thecor- ! diality and hospitality of the people of ti the town. " tJ MR. B. C. DUPRE, ti the publisher of the Aw>cialc Reform- is cd Presbyterian, is 011 rising ground at n Due West. He thinks of investing I some money in a house and lot in that p town. He believes in life insurance, and tl thinks money spent this way a good in- c vestment. We think so too?in a horn. THE JUMUK KMJSKTAlftfcU. The Junior had the pleasure of ac- c ceptiug Lbe hospitality of onr life-long ti friends, Mr. A. C. Hawthorn and Prof, w Hood. -Mr. Hawthorn and his good g Jady have now passed their three-score 11 and ten years. Success attend these g warm-hearted friends, and may they L live long and prosper. Prof. Hood is c the father of a large family of children, b which he wouldn't exchange for the g g wealth of A. T. Stuart. - n ,??, u | The services of Capt. Wm. Choice ^ have been secured as assistant editor of the Spartanburg Herald. The Herald is already an excellent paper, and the editor says that in securing the services of Capt Choice, who is a ready and . graceful writer, he feels assured that increased interest will be added to the jj columns of that paper. We welcome . Mr. Choice into the ranks of the hardest worked and poorest paid men in j the world. We hope that he starts full handed, witli plenty of last year's clothes on hand. We are wearing our old clothes. The merchants of Abbeville County c are obliged to have the latest cotton re- p ports. They are furnished in the Co- r lumbia Register, a Democratic paper {. that strikes square out from the snoul- i der, for the right. Mr. Pelham, who 1: for years was the editor of that staunch old paper the Southern Guardian, is at ?/ the helm. c a Capt. H. L. Farley editor of the of v the Spartanburg Spartan, desiring to 0 know the true state of affairs in Lau- g - reus, paid a visit to his old home on ^Saturday last, and gave to his readers a %verv interesting account of his trip. G u ; Most of our farmers can get saiul on j the creeks gratis, but those who cannot fet sufficient quantities near home, can uy it in guano at fifty dollars a ton. a See article in another column. s< It is said that one "dead cat" is suffi- g cient to scent two tons of a compound which when scented aud called guano u will sell for $50 or $60 a ton. gl The Greenville News say*: "Radical- 1 |sm is dead in Laurens." We doubt 8 this. Radicals are like flies. Kill one, and two comes to the funeral aud never a so home. e; || Those who owe for guano can make ti gg it to their interest by settling with Capt. || p. Cowan at once. p 9 Let doubting friends read the Gran- a 89 ger's experience with guano. Hk Apples have been selling from wag- <S ask pns 011 the streets at $1.75 per bushel. 1 Let us be Respectful, Brethren." We think we can notice among of >ur exchaages on the part of editors iad correspondents a disposition to copy ifter the style of parson Brownlow. fills, in our opinion, is to be regretted, ['he press should refine and tone up the ninds and hearts of the people. The >ress wields a powerful influence, and ts teachings either elevate or lower the >ublic standard of respectability and efineip^ent. jWe need a dignified press, oart^bna ajaSSBbnteel in its bearings, fe all matters calmly, llipassipna^fyi and fairly. The preumpt]|oB*is, that every man is honest B^iujppmons, and that he is sincere n $&6/cause which he advocate*, and as re^can never all be of one mind or of >ne'opinion, we trust to see more toleation exercii^d towards those who difer from us, a%d a greater respect shown or their feelings. It is the boast of his country that every man can enterain his religious or political opinions ie they what they may. Too often lersonal matters are brought forward in hese religious and political controveries, when the characteristics of Parson irownlow unmistakably exhibit tliemelves. Let us have more argument and ?ss abuse, more good feeling and less aisrepresentation, more cordiality and ?ss hatred. The man who uses strong r bitter expressions never advances his aterests, but frequently injures his own ause before the public who are the disassionate judges of the matter In quesion. Brethren, let us be polite to each ther. About Pomps. Our townsman, Mr. J. D. Chalmers, | as had some experience in the pump usiness. A year ago he bought the best ne to be found anywhere, and paid ixty dollars for it. He kept it in the rell a little while, but has now gone ack to first principles, and uses the ucket and rope that he took out to put he pump in. As the pump is lying nder the house, doing Mr. Chalmers o good, we presume he would sell it nd the pipe for fifteen dollars. Cheap Pumps.?As soon as the new ump now in the well of our friend, Ir. Jos. S. Britt, spoils the water, he fill give some neighbor a good bargain n a second-hand pump. The weli, we resume, is closed tight, and it will reuire only a little while for the work to e accomplished. It will pay to wait. Mr. Jxo. Kxox, of our town, is u radical man, and is determined to find ut if there are any good pumps. Two ears ago he put an extra good one in is well, but in a few months came to tie conclusion that lie couldn't stand lie pump any longer. He no doubt fouldtrivea man a good bargain for a ery little cost, as the pump now lies in he back yard. He now has a new one D his well, and will perhaps have a vaiety of pumps for sale in a little while. The Chronicle and Sentinel says l)e unfortunate merchant, should not e discouraged. He must bear his troules as best ho may, knowing as he does rom experience that his own calamity fill soon be forgotten rn the calamity f others. If fortune should favor bin) gain his friends soon return. Let him ossess his soul in patience and strive > regain what he has lost, and tbose rho were the first to frown upon his )isfortune will be the first to smile upn his prosperity, there are, of course, )any men who remain the same in jnshine and in shadow, and the symathy of one such will more than comensate for all the falsehoods imagined y evil minds and circulated by slanerous tongues." Our people will find the Augusta 'hronicle and Sentinel a first class paper, t is published in a good market, for )ariy of our citizens. Dk. J. A. Gibert, a prominent citizens of the Bordeaux section, wes in >wn on Monday, Bending his son Alert back to the Caroiina Military InJtute at Charlotte. Albert is a proruis lg young man, and will reflect honor u old Abbeville. The Doctor reads the 'resn and Banner and shows his apreciatiou by subscribing for two copies. Le pays in advance. He informs us jat the cotton of his section is opening ipidly, and that the great trouble now i from the cotton thieves, who seem to e getting ready for the fall campaign. Le announces his determiuation to rosecute all offenders, and only regrets aat that the law is not more effective. Le favors the whipping post, and we ndorse his opinion. i Cotton Thieves and the Whipino Post.?We need a law which tiall more effectually check the crying vil of the day?cottou stealing?a law 'hich shall prohibit the sale of cotton fter dark, and which shall inflict summary punishment upon all offenders, or thes<fclast there is nothing so affecjal as whipping. Imprisonment in ae County jail, or even in the Penitenary is a mockery. For larceny there s no punishment so good as whippingone so much dreaded by criminals. <et us revive the good old whipping ost. Let all good citizens in the mean Ime spare no effort to arrest and proseute the thieves. Millinery, Dry Goods and Groeries.?Our merchants have all retimed, and our stores are now filled rith the choicest specimens of new oods. The prices too are low and our rieuds may promise themselves barains in all the departments of trade. !all early and get supplied with the boicest and best. The most fashionale millinery, the most stylish dress oods, and the most select groceries are ow upou exhibition, and are offered pou accommodatin terms. Call and et supplied. Our Sheriff lias been re-arranging nd putting additional furniture iu his flice, and it now makes a more preentable appearance. The pigeon-holes jr the sale keepij^g of executions is uite an improvement. The oftice is ept quite satistactoriiy to lawyers ana awpers and clients. The Sheriff isasisted by Messrs. C. W. Guflin and L. j. Guflin, who are ever attentive. "We notice some of our exchanges till complaining about notgetting cred-j t for little paragraphs that a neighbor nay copy. We thought the day had iassed tor such complaints. Our brethen are welcome to anything in our paier. VVe always feel complimented f a neighbor uses our matter, whether le gives us credit or not. Mrs. Clemson, the only surviving hild of the Hon. Jno. C. Calhoun, dieoL t Fort Hill, on Wednesday of the past reek. A lady of many excellent traits f character, she inherited much of the enius of the illustrious statesman. Mb. T. A. Rogers, of Cartersville, Ja., passed through our town on Friday ist on a visit to Calhoun's Mills. Hej rill remain several weeks. We Told You So?By reference to I n article in another column it wil be een how farmers nave oeen cneuieu m uftuo. Butter and eggs command a premim in this market. They have been carcer even than greenbacks. Have be cows quit giving milk, or the hens toped laying? Cotton is coming rapidly to market, nd our merchants are giving the liighst rates that the prices elsewhere jusify. Cool days and cool nights during the ast week have made fires comfortable, nd almost a necessity. Mb. Young, of the firm of Oliver 5 Young was in town on Thursday, ie sleeps with.the printer's blessings. m mjk $ * The local editor of the Charlotte Ob server is in a bad fix. He rises to ex plain "The scribe acknowledges his obliga tion to a fair pinback for a pinback pin It is about as long as a railroad spike and of about the fatness of a match The recipient pinned back at once, aiu now sees the good of it. He stepped 01 a grape hull yesterday afternoon, an< though he slid a block over a rougl pavement, it would not allow him t< fall. It has its little inconveniences however. For instance he has to b| carried up and down the steps and doe all his writing standing up to the niau tel-piece." No matter for him. He had no busi ness trying to wear female apparel. The Charlotte Observer is not mucl in favor of tixing the pay of member of the Legislature xit three hundred dol lars per annum. We agree with tha paper, and have our doubts as to th< propriety of the move. A great mistaki is often made in supposing that smal pay to the members is one of the mos important savings. Comparatively tlx pay of members is a very small matter One swindling bill passed might cos the State ten times as much as their paj for a whole session. Honesty and com peteney are what we want. Good Movk.?The young gentlemer of this place are contemplating organizing a cornet band of ten instruments besides the drums and cymbals. Instruments of German silver costini about 5400 will be wurchased and it i; jexpected that the "citizens will aid ii ! raising the money. Charades will Im given in the Court House during Fail week for tneir benefit. The charade: will be of the most interesting charac ter and add much to the general enjoy mentof that occasion. Mr. H. T. Tusten's parlor is orna mented with some of the most beautifu oil paintings in town. They are th< handy-work of his accomplished daugh ter, Miss Eliza, who has recently re turued from college at Baltimore. Mr Mills, the painter, gave her lessons ii the fine art, when he was here thii Summer. We regard her work as spec imens of pictures in the highest style o the art. Miss Tusten certainly excel: in this department, and her picture: bear testimony to her high talent. Have We no Safe Banks.?Some time ago the Mecklenburg Bank, wliicl had the confidence of everybody, broke and paid the creditors only about tei percent. The Citizens' Savings Banl of Abbeville went the same way. Solo mon's Bank, of Columbia, with tin people's money, yielded to the pressure and the old and reliable banking housi of John J. Cohen <Ss Co., of Augusta fails with liabilities estimated at betweei $180,000 and $200,000, while the assets an estimated only at from ?25,000 to Sou,uuu We learn that some of our best farm ers, who are leasing: their lauds make ii a covenant in the lease that the partiei renting shall sow at least five acres o the best land in red oats for each hors< or mule employed in its cultivation, This is a move in the right direction. "We are glad to learn that the Abbe ville Rifles have made arrangement? for the purchase of fifty Springfielt Rifles. It is more desirable for the com pany to own their guns, especially whet they get such a bargain in the purchase We congratulate the company on theii good luck in this matter. Mr. W. C. Martin, of Hodges, a stir ing and successful farmer, reads the Press and Banner, and pays his subscip' tion punctually. He says that he does not want a better paper. We appreciate the compliment. He knows what if good. The Charlotte Observer has had "Diamonds" left on his editorial table. A man or wnom we made a locm iiuuce a week or two, has promised to present ut with "eliibs." Now is the time for husbands toprove their devotion to their better halves, bj giving them money to go to Quarles <& Perrin's to buy some of the many nic( things which they offer for sale. Conscientious.?A fmnd who ha? been reading his neighbor's Prcsa anc Bannsr, subscribed yesterday when he learned that the paper had not been paid for. This friend is an honest man, indeed. Capt. G.

Pratt, the zealous and able ' pajBtor of the Baptist Church at this j place, for the following notes of the late i meeting of this Association, which met 1 o$ Friday last, the 24th inst,, at Fellow1 siflp church, near Ninety-Six. 5 delegations were present from the ? ftfcjrrteen churches composing the Asso ifdiatiofi; and after the organization, Mr. _ parties H. Wideman was elected Moder. jfrtor; Letters were read from all the churches, showing that God had greatly " titpssed their efforts for good during the year. ^The four churches which have been j constructed in the last three years?at flpMnwnnd. Ninetv-Six. Hodjres' De .- pot, and Abbevilla?all reported steady I progress and flattering encouragements. Active measures we taken to complete g the buildingat Abbeville. In that there i is good reason to hope that during the t Fall aud Winter it will be completed. Though a small body, the contribu' tions of the Association to the various' [ benevolent objects, are une^ualed by . any other body of the same size in the State. The Association adjourned on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday there was i preaching to large and attentive congre gations. i The next session of the body Mill be held with the Baptist church In Abbe? ville village, iu September, 1876. 3 I The Philadelphia Press complains p that children are sent to school when too 3 young, and deprecates the blunder of allowing them to bring the school home \ with them. It says: "When the doors of the school house close in the afternoon upon the school children, they - should literally close out from them all I that pertains to school until the opening 3 next morning. A teacher should be a - teacher, not simply a mere hearer of re citations. Lessons should be learned and taught at school?never at home. i The teacher has no right to impose upon s parents the most annoying part of her work. She has no right to take from f the child a single moment of the few s hours it has out of school." 3 The Ohio Campaign.?The influence of a victory in Ohio in determining the future of the Democratic party and in strengthening the financial plank in the platform, makes the result one of general interest. According to a reporter of the Tribune, Governor Allen believes that the Ohio financial platform will become the financial platform of the convention, and will carry the country. He regards Ills election as assured by a majority which would be any where oetween 25,000 and 50,000. The action of the Pennsylvania Democracy had helped his canvass; the action of the New York Democracy was only what was expected, and would not affect the result. Messrs. Quarles & Perrin have opened at their well-known stand a superb Fall and Winter Stock, which they are selling at "bottom prices." Their stock is large and select, comprising the best qualities of ladies' and gentlemen's goods, to which they invite the attention, of their friends. They offer induce-' ments, both in quality and price, and can make it to the interests of their, fsieuds to call. Distressing Occurrence.?We re-l gret to learn that W. S. Pinson, of Lau-^ rens County, was drowned in Saluda, Kiver, on Wednesday last, near Puck:' ett's Ferry, while returning from abusiness trip to Ninety-Six. The horse With j saddle on crossod safely to the Laureiis side, and when discovered, fears were at once entertained as to the safety of Dr.. Pinson. Search was made, and hte body found on Friday, about a half mile 1 below the ferry. He was a skillful phy' sician, and much respected. . i New Store?New Goons.?Mr. W. ' Rosenburg has'moved into his newstote r in Granite Range, lately occupied by ; Messrs. Wardlaw & Edwards, and i which has been handsomely fitted up for his reception. Here he is opening a , splendid lot of new goods which he will I sell at the lowest market figures. His , stock embraces the best varieties of clothing, dress and staple goods and groceries, and ohers inducements to ' purchasers. Give him a call. Emporium of Fashion. ? This is opening day at the Emporium of Fashion, and our lady friends will enjoy the 5 pleasure of inspecting the finest styles ' and latest novelties of the world of fashion. All the mast beautiful varieties of I; hats and bonnets, and the most gorgeous. fabrics of the loom, will be on exhibi-' t tion to tempt the fancy and unlock the . purses of the fair visitors, and we are sure that they will need no second invitation to attend. The grand opening is ; an event not to b e over-looked. Edgefield is in a lamentable condition. In that County they have a man by the uame of Lawrence Cain, Baid to ' worth $1,693, who has signed bonds for 1 County officials to the amount of $34,1 000. The Edgefield Advertiser is ventilating the matter. That paper is I right. 1 Capt. W. A.

Philips, one of the officers the Itichborough Gmnge, in Newport, Buck county, was commissioned by his Grange, a few weeks ago, to purchase twenty tons of Peruvian guano for the use of its members. Mr. .fniiips came to Philadelphia and'Tfrdered the guano through a commissioirhouse, who bought it direct fromr ,'Hobaon, Hornado & Co., the^fcgents ol the Peruvian Govrnment' in New York. The. guano r&tfclied Mr1 Philipps in the. original packages, nol having been opened or " handled by the commission house: |Jn Newport it was bought by the grangers, Mr, Philips keeping only'a for hiBOwn use. When he ope^pjthj bags and began to spread It llWeFni? land he noticed that it was lumpy, and appearantly contained sand and gravel So he measured out a half pound and washed it carefully. The guano dissolves iu water, but In the bottom of the pan was a heavy sediment, which when separated and dried, proved to be'eourst brown.saiid and fine gravel. This sediment was sent to the agency of the New Jersey State Grange, at 103 Arch street and on a druggist's scales It weighed one and a half ounces, or 15 percent of the guano, for which the Grang( ? ^ a +An Tho oaHimnnt. la A1 pniU i* IVU? course useless as a manure, being just such sand as any faimer can fine on his laud; and in the same ratio purchasers of a ton of guano at $55 paj $6 25.for brown sand and gravel. Th< captain of a schooner running from thic pert to the Peruvian islands for guanc wrote to a friend a short time ago thai when be reached the islands he was afraid to load his vessel, the adultera tion^being so great that he feared h< could not get enough for the guano t( pay for transpotation. A stone breakei had been put up near the guano beds tyasaid, and it was evident for what pur pose the sand was used. He sailed it another island fifty miles away, anc there he found the adulteration even worse; so he came without any load. ' 'A few years ago," says an old farmer to ? Times reporter yesterday, "we could noi sow more than two hundred pounds oi guano to the acre, for it would mak< the grain so heavy and thick that il would break and tangle. But now i man. can sow half a ton to the acre, and he don't get a much better crop than if h< didn't sow any at all. It's all owing tc the adulteration. I bought a hundred and fifteen dollars' worth of guano lasl year, and it didn't do me a hundred anc fifteen cents' worth of good. This yeai it sppmatn be worse than ever, and ] think it's getting worse every year.? they charged eigntv dollars a ton, in gold, for it. This Spring they made s great fuss about reducing the price, and now we buy it for fifty-five dollars a ton, in ourrency. But it has been reduced in quality ten times as much af In price.

I __ Increase of Population?New Stores : ' &fc., Business Men?Twelve Child[\ ' less Couples?Schools?Cheap Goods, &c. 1t> V ... . '.Editor \Prrjt8 and Banner : i You most generously throw open the nf vr/itii* valnahlu nanor fn thf 'WUI.OU1 ,UU. I?i'~- ? Kiitizsns and readers of Abbeville, and iinvitethem to furnish any news they see fit from the different points of the County. Thanking you most kindly We drop you some items from Green'wood, worth a passing notice, we hope. fn 1866 the population of Greenwood 'Was only about400, now the city numbers ijearly 1,000 and is monthly increasing.. Thirteen stores are dally.issuing their goods, edibles, physics and 'drink's. Two elegant store-rooms are just being finished, not as yet occupied? an excellent chance for new-comers. lThe town is blessed with one full lawyer, a host of first-class advisers in the Taw human, and in hard places would consent to the expounding of divine Jaw The Yankee administration has /orgottei} itself when it failed to consult the sages of Greenwood. A solution to .the whole national trouble is locked up 'in the brains of Greenwood?hence tut nation's failure. ; The town boasts of two Notary Publics, one Trial Justice, and plenty ol men full of good ideas to swap for butter, eggs and the like. The immediate country around the town furnishes rather a class of farmers we cannot understand, but hope the creator does. We'most respectfully pen a touching item and ask a"sympathizing country tc put on crape and not laugh oehind the ears. Twelve married couples, headed by Mr. Stev., upon his seal fat cream, are journeying through life childless. This added to fifteen widows and five extraordinary widowers makes the town most especially desirable these hard times'. With hat off and eyes fifteen paces in front we suggest the propriety of this humble class of men "stepping down and out," and greeting monuments to departed manhood. Nexi week wc hope to hand in their namet should we become acquainted with the several gentlemen, and they take nc offense at these playful remarks. This thrust at society, however, has not its fatal ettect upon tne scnoois in this place, as our schools are daily in full blast. We understand ample arrangements are being made to open private boarding bouses for the accommodation of the schools. Nothing tends to elevate a town quicker than iti educational facilities. To close oui items for this week we mention but one other "dot," viznew goods. The merchants are busy opening their goods, and iudging from a piece of goods bought at , we assert without fear the prices are as low down as you could buy in any retail house in Isew York city. MORE NEXT WEEK. The California panic appears to be ended. With the resumption of the Bank of California, which will occur in a few days, the mining and other iudustries will progress as favorably as hitherto, and there will be a speedy restoration of business to its normal channel. This is a rapid recovery from serious calamity, but is indicative of the young life that permeates that wonderful country. Its lesson will not be lost, it is to be hoped. Commercial and financial boldness is a good thing to a new country whiwfl vast-, rmtiirftl rpsoi:rnes have scarcely beguu to be opened up; bul even under such circumstances care and conservatism are ueedful to prevent'a commercial community from displaying the attitude of a ship flying before o storm, with all the canvas set to the wind, a crazed pilot at the helm, and not enough ballast to steady the ship. ~ ^ ? > ? Says the New York Tribune : If any proof were needed that the North is thoroughly sick of the "bloody outrage" business, it could be found in treatment given to Gov. Ames' incoherent demands for troops. Aside from the organs at Washington, only one or two Republican journals have shown an^ sympathy for Ames. The general sentimeut toward him appears to be fairly expressed by this paragraph from the Utica Herald: "There is a growing impatience over the efforts of such men as Ames to involve the General Government in local troubles that concern il last of all. There is a gathering conviction that under such a policy the Southern question will never be eliminated from our politics, but grow more complicated with the--yean. Gov. Ames' dispatches heighten this impatience and dcepeathl8coPYiy,,.^-. , iUHH . LOVE, DISGRACE AND SUICIDE. ? ? ? The Man Loved a Woman Below Him ? in Social Position, and What ^ Became of Hiram L.
