I The Press and Banner. ' AIJIBKVILLE, S. C, i BY HUGH WILSON. ' 1 > ^Wednesday, Oct. 17,1677. j To the People of Abbeville County J T!y roason of the absence ^ of Ci?l. D. W, 1 Aiken, rrosiut'in ui mv Aimruuv j,?. ?... .v? Agricultural and Mechanioal Society thcdu ti?s mill responsibllicics, of that position, whloli he could have discharged so much 1 more worthily now devolve upon mc, as the 1 Yioe-l'rcsident of the Society. 1 Xo one however, knows better or can ap- , prociatc more highly, than I do, the eapahili- : ties of the. people of this county. They can. by united effort, accomplish any thing short 1 of impossibilities, and I know that the matter in hand, is not an impossibility. Whereftire I appeal, with con tide nee, to all classes of the community, to unite in making 1 the approaching Fair which is to be held on ' tbe-'5lst instant and the 1st and 2nd, proximo, a signal and splendid success. Distinguished guests have been invited and are expected to be with us on the occasion. The exhibition has been postponed, until the week before the State Fair,that there might be no conflict with our neighbors In the counties of Greenville and Anderson, who will find the Abbeville Fair a convenient resting place on their way to the state Fair, and who are cordially invited to unite and contest with us. Tho Grangers of the County, whose numbers aro only equalled by their zeal and enthusiasm In the cause and matter of agriculture are expected to do much, in this their favorite department. The Mechanics and artisans of this and adjoining counties, whose skill has been "hidden under a bushel" have now an opportuni- ' ty of letting "their lights shine." "To the Ladies no appeal is needed all experience proves them foremost in every good work and cause, and 1 only beg them to see to It, that In this honorablo and generous rivalry, there be no laggards amongst their best friends, brothers and sweethearts. A novel j ami Interesting feat uro of the exhibition will be found In the competitive drill by the vol. ?M1< rvf till" i-nnntvl uiuecr muiuii.? v., which has boon entered into by them with such commendablespirit. The premium list, which Is liberal, will bo paid out in money, which Is easily convertible into some thing more valuable than the "Pinchbeck" premiums, which are sometimes awarded to successful competitors. Musio by the Abbeville Silver Cornet Rand will he beautifully aiulabundantly discoursed, what Is lacking then to distinguish, in the measure of success, tho approaching Fair from all that have prcceeded it? The times are propitious. Your county has been redeemed, and by your unaided but united etlbrts, was il.accomplished. Come then and let us meet together and let us rejoice together. .T. S. COT1IKAX. Vice-President and Acting President Abbe- ' vltle District Agricultural and Mechanical Sociery. The Birth-Dny Orntor of the Wash- . iat;toil Artillcry?-Gcu. McGowao. From the Charleston News and Courier. ' The distinguished Carolinian who has eon- ; jeonted to deliver theunnual address before| "the Washington Artillery, on .the occasion of j the celebration of the annCVer.-ary of that -command, Washington's birth-day, Fcbrua- I ry 2i 1K7S, needs no introduction to the people j of Charleston; and yet it. is good for irs to re-1 call,as the meeting at the Hibernian Hall last j night, recalled, the valor, truth and endu-! I ranee of those who borealoft the battlc-tlag of j the South during the days of the ill-starred!, Confederacy. Only the presence of the sue- * cesser of Maxcy Gregg was needed to make > the grand gathering last night complete. A bero of two wars. Gen. MeGowan served, with honor and distinction, on the ensan guiued fields of Mexico. In the piping times of peace lie was a Major General of Militia, i l"])on tlic secession of South Carolina he drew "the sword which flashed like a niftinr amid i the siaoke and dust of war, until It layshlv- \ ered along side of the broken shield of the Confederacy. (Sen. MeOowan went out with "the Fourteenth South Carolina Kegiment, and was its Colonel when the regiment was or- j dered to Virginia. Attached to the Rrigadc of Maxcy Gregg, he participated in the tights j aroutid Itic-Hmond, at Second Manassas, Ox Tlitl, JIarner's Ferry, Holder's Ford and Fredericksburg. On the death of his lament , ?e(l cornmanrter ana iricuu, wu. vregi;, uu waspromoVxl to the cointuan<l of the llriirade, which Jtc fearlessly led through the vie ^torlous st.rugglcat Chancellorsville, where lie was severely wounded. At Spottsylvania he i received The warm commendation of Gen. K. i K. Lee,*rho knew him intimately in Mexico, * :and wh? appreciated his sterling qualities as :a wildfcr and citizen. Of largo sUfturc and commandingpresence, he was a conspicuous mark Sr>r the deadly missiles of the enemy, i iand *hilc charging with the brigade, when i <teufh was reaping a rich harvest, lie wan shot tthrwugh the breast. He did not relinquish ' command or retire from the Held until comixrtted to do so by loss of blood, mid even then le stopped to cheer and encourage his brave oomjianlons. As soon as his wound had sufficiently healed to permit him to return to t he j tnrmy, he again took the tleld and was wcl'comed back with demonstrations of Joy and i (affection. During the closing hat tics of the ] war Gen. McGowan was placed In command of two brigades, and his courage shone far in the front of the deadly fight. At Sutherland {Station, the last struggle the brigade had l with the enemy, he made a noble stand, and for several hours hold in check, with his two } brigades, column after column of Federal ; itroops, only retiring when completely flunked by a Division of the Second Corjis. Ilis command retreated in good order and were kept well together, and on the ill-fated morn- \ Ingof theitth of April they presented a hold ;?nd unbroken front when the sad tidings I were borne on the breeze that the peerless Lee had surrendered his spotless sword and ;the heroic remnant of hlsarmy. ^ CJcn. McGowan was fulrl.v worshipped i\v j ;his men. They had the most unbounded con-11 tidenee in him. In battle ho seemed tolio in- J 'sensible to fear. Danger appeared to be his favorite element. And yet he was us gentle and generous to his soldiers as he was daring when his clarion voice rang clear and loud in the midst of the fray. Bold, stern and inflexible, rldine on his gray charger through the flame of battle, he would dismount, when :the rtcht was ended, and kneel, with quivering lips and tear-dimmed eyes, by the lifeless tore.i of the comrades who had fallen ut his i . Hid*: The bravest are the tendercst, 1 The loving the most daring ! 1. County Court. 'The Judicial Committee has recommended ; : establishing of County Courts, and if the . people don't take steps to prevent it the J legislature next month will follow up t i*<*i r -suggestion by passing a law establishing the i C^urtJj, a''U bv so doing, fasten a debt upon t, this County, under which the tax-payers will c roan. Nor by so doing will they rid the country of Trial Justices. The oniy ci.nn^o r la that ulllce, will be the name nom i nal j; Justice to Magistrate, the expense v. ili r remain about the same. The Groinl.I dries L, lu almost every County in Geor/ia havel recommended the abolition of their County c Courf, and toestaWish In their rtead, Courts 1 . aiinllai toour Trial Justice Courts, with their jurisdiction extending over all criminal cases, I ? except those the punishment of which re-1" quire confinement in the Penitentiary. TheJj expense of that Court, and the inconvenience i i It caused to Individuals, are the chief rea-L sons why tho Georgians wish to make t lie I chance. They have tried the County Court L system foralotiK time, under Democrat rule, t and It has proven a burden too heavy for ( them to carry, and if it has proven burden- , some to the small Counties of Georgia, u hat I. will it prove to be to us, with our Counties, which are three times as large. The fault ? now Is not with our Trial Justice Courts, but I 4 with the laws for the punishmenl of petty j, criminals. Let the Legislature establish the f whipping post or chain gang and you will r tfoon see that these Courts will become selfsustaining. Let them also raise their Juris- c diction, and repeal the law not requiring i c cost to be paid in appeal cases, and you will, r And that many petty cases will be kept out of'the Courts of Session, and Common Pleas I f and thereby larger amounts saved to the;, County annually. On the contrary if the j County Courts are established any one with a 0 thinking mind can see, that in afew years; / this lmpovished County will be financially . mined. Now is tho time to put a stop to this I r evil and not after the law has been passed , establishing the Courts. REFORM. 4;Tbc World's Wonder Show Coining."
