J The Proprietor* of the Nkws and Cot'ttiKR I < offer S1W, in gold, for tlie host Serial stury, I ( written by a resident of south Carolina, 11Inntratlve of Southern life, before, during nr|, slace the war. The conditions are as fol- j lows: iK 1. Tlie storj* to consist of not less than . twenty chanters; the chapters averaging ten j ' pages of foolscap or the equivalent. 2. The manuscript to be sent to the proprle- , j ?d tors of the New* and Courier not utter man i H April 1 next. H 3.

The stories to be read by a committee of; bH three resldeuts of Charleston, selected by the 11 ffl proprietors of the iVdiii and Oiurier, wholr will make their decision on or before April, M loth. 1, go fi. The story which shall be declared to be I r the best to be the absolute property of the J a H proprietors of the New* and Courier, and pub- p U lished as a serial In the Weekly Sncs. lte jected manuscripts to be returned forthwith to the author*. I ' jgfi In making this proposition the object is to '' 9| encourage, as far as practicable, the develop- ^ inent of literature ill South Carolina, and to)' B give the reading public, through the Weekly I' H AVtr*, tales of Southern life which shall pre- 'J serve the recollection of traits of character j " B| and social peculiarities anu habits rast passB Inj? away, and keep before the rising genera- li tion the memory of a struggle more glorious : t? than thatof the Revolution and of sufferings I o H greater than those which were borne bv the lb Q men of Seventy-six. Should the experiment I c< now made prove successful, the proprleu rs of si U the Xewtand Courier will hope to extend I he I M literary fleidand enlist as contributors to the [ j, Weekly Newt the most brilliant writers In the p whole South. u H An Excellent Soap.

Cobb. j ?l This age<l citizen wiio had long held the |<l! confidence of a large circle of friends in Abbe-1 ville County, died at ills residence in this lis town on the 5th instant, and was buried at 1" Sharon. Mr. Cobb was once, many years ago. Sheriff of the County, and was afterwards for re a long time a substantial merchant of the in town. The deceased was distinguished for his honesty and sincerity oI purpose no less I f than for his generosity and kindness of heart.i ' V In the discharge of ills duties as Sheriff he c ' performed the disagreeable requirements of! Jthe law with hs much delicacy and with as, pi 'little hardship to the unfortunate as it was; pc possible, and often advanced money of hi? own means to relieve the dislresse.1 debtor. : pi As a merchant he was considered strictly I g., honest, but his Inability to say no, when ap-! pealed to for credit, proved disastrous to him I... in a financial point of view For several ; . years he has been out of business and almost lo totally unfitted to earn a sustenance for him- ; self and family, in consequence of his ad-; to vnncod age. Tho people of Abbeville regard-. of cd Mr. Cobb with the kindest feelings, and during his last days contributed for his com-1 |n fort the many little attentions which gen-i jj; e*ous hea rts alone could offer. And thus one of the links that bind us to the Abbeville of: r long ago, has been broken. ? ? , ( Good Work. We havcjust received from the Pookbhid-jl'" ery of Mr. K. K.Stokes, Columbia, s.

' Erlitors Pi-ens nn<l Manner ; ' Before 1 proceed I must acknowledge that I ' highly appreciate the recent method by which we were examined; not because I at ! tained my wishes, but because I believe candidly that it has rewarded diligence. Some : of our teachers arc too contldent of their acquirements, and others become rusty in their . professional branches, ekhcr by indolence or by dividing their precious time into a variety of pursuits. Wheras every person who proposes to make imparting knowledge to the young hisor her vocation should bearin mind 1 that there is scope enough in the occupation to engage his or her richest talent, brightest fancy, keenest wits,and profoundest thoughtI admonish our teachers to make liberal , use of the teachers institute, the educational journal, and the newspaper which will attract Interest and elevate their charge. I am aware that our professional books do not havesutiicietit enchantment to attract our I undivided attention at svll tithes. Then we lean utilize our leisure hour by perusing j ' i that which is fresh, tasty, attractive and lu-| 1 crative,?the newspaper, Ac.
