PP ** / The Press and Banner, ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, Nov. 29, 1832. j Our Fanners. Every man in Abbeville county soon.s to have worked to his capacity this year. Last year the crops were neat ly a failure. | This fact together with that other fact, j that they had nothing else to do, induced ' hundreds of our citizens to sow the! Janjost quantities of oats and wheat. In the spring ol' the year, an extra effort i was made to plant corn. Thousand of aeiOS Ol UOUOlll laim WITH n't-i.iiiiu-u, iiiki, planted in the "stall' of life." Without' stopping for a moment a large area of! land was planted in cotton. The high price of bacon, and the scarcity of tnoncv ' with which to buy it, forcibly impressed j our people with the necessity of planting' largely of sorghum, or m dasses cane, i These facts, together with favoring sea- j sons, resulted in our having an unusual-: ly large area of land in theditVerent crops,! ami the unprecedented yield from all tliei land which was sown or cultivated, has necessitated the greatest effort on the part of our people to save the products of the j field. The harvest of small grain was! immense and required attention wh?n j othor crops needed work. After this, un- ! til the crops wore laid by, every man had more work than ho could do. The mak-' ing of the molasses kept the hands out of the cotton fields for many days, and with j this set-back, they have not been able to: keep up with the work. The unusually j good weather of the Fall matured and' opened the staplo faster than the people of! the county could pick it out. Notwith-j standing this great demand for work in, the cotton-field, the approach of Winter,] and the fear of protracted wet spell of; weather, compelled our people to quit the cotton fields to gather their corn, which, is perhaps the largest crop that ha? ever I been made in Abbeville county?if n >t j the largest in its History, it is certaini.v j about double any similar crop since the j war. There are hundreds of planters who will have corn enough for them-1 selves and a little to spare to their loss provident neighbors. At present somej persons are selling corn at prices ranging from sixty to seventy-five cents a bushel, but as a rule the majority who are able to do so, are holding their* grain until the beginning of the new year, when ttiey hope to command a better price. Come One! Come All! Every one knows of the sad accident! that befell the Confederate Monument irt Columbia, so soon after its erection by j the patriotic women of the State ; and we were glad to learn that an entertainment will bo given by the young people of our \ town, to help to place the "boy in gray" j again on his lone post under the shadow of the State House. Tho entertainment will couieotf on Frday Sth December, in tho Court House, and the programme will be a varied and entertaining one. It will begin with the Fan-Drill, by eight young ladies in tho picturesque costume j of Queen Anne's time. For a full de-i Bcription of this graceful exercise see the paper in Addison's Spectator entitled the Fan-Drill." This will be followed by the play "lei On Parle Fraucais." (Here j they speak French,) which will be sue- i ceeded in turn by Planche's charming I vaudeville "The Loan of a Lover." The conclusion of the whole to be the "Charge of the Broom Brigade." Choruses to be i sung at interval* by a g!eo club. We learn that a delegation from Lowndes-j ville has promised to be present at the | performance, and trust that our town j folks will give a hearty support to sol laudable an undertaking.* Tickets, 50 cts., eniiuruu nan price. vu.> i umu r.u. { Scut His Photograph. One day last Summrr Messrs. Soul A Mdlwaine carriage and wagon makers I of our town received a lettor from a rue-1 chanic at Andorson, applying for a situa-1 tion in tlieir shop. As the mechanic was an entire strangor to them, lie forwarded ; Jus photograph, in order, he said, that j they might be able to form some idea of j his looks and the kind of a man ho was. j Tho picture showed the likeness of a good j looking man, but he held an immense | pistol iu his hand, as if iu tho act of; drawing it for action. Truth. At that) time Messrs. Seal it Mcllwaine had noi use for the artillery or tho commander of j the battery, and did not reply to his let- j ter, but it is quite probable that these' gentlemen will give the Anderson artil- j leryman a job during the month of January. As a matter of kindness to those j \vho are in debt to Messrs. Seal & Mcll- I waine we throw out this hint, so that] they may make their preparations and j settle up, before the arrival of the Auder- ! sun mechanic and his pistol. The Rest Mechanic in America. Major John Alexander, as our readers | know, is ?ne of the best Scotchman th ?t; ever crossed the water. They are also; familiar with that other fact, that lie makes it a standing rule to take pro-! iniums at the State Fair. At the last i Fair he took the first premium for the) best South Carolina fodder cutter; thej first premium for the heat circular saw mill; and he would have taken all the first premiums if he had exhibited other articles. If anybody in this section i wants machinery of any kind, thevj should writo to him for it, and we will j venture the assertion thnt full satisfaction will be given, as to quality of work and as to charges for the same. A better man, or a better mechanic than John Alexander does not deal in iron. Wo have known him for twenty years, and can vouch for him in every way. A Deformed Child a Means of Profit. Isaiah Fair's wife, colored, of Enter- i prise, recently pave birth to a vhild with ! four arms and four legs, each perfectly formed. The news spread, ard curious people began to po to see it, and the mini-: ber of persons poinp to see it has constantly increased. These visitations soon became a tax on the mother and her peo- j pie. Nearly the whole of her time wasi taken up with the business of showing it, j and she finally determined to charge a fee for the exhibition. White people who! see the curiositv now Day ten cents each, I ?*nd colored people five cents. Sunday I the 19th instant one hundred persons' went to see it, and the mother realized! $(5.50 that day. besides the "promises to pay" from quite a number of the darkies. | The child seems to bo perfectly healthy, I and promises to live forever. Prosperous. Wo learn that the institutions of learn- ] ing at Due West are in a most prosperous condition. There are, in the Collegiate classes of each of the Colleges, more students than were in attendance last year. This speaks well for the Colleges, and well for our people. No estate is so valuable to a boy or girl, as Mood education. Educated peonle are always in demand, and the people never fail to honor them. The Centrel Hotel. Mr. A. M.

Our streets are crowded with wagon; loaded with cotton, but the sales by ou merchants are not excessively large.

Good Speeches?Good People. E'liiora Press and Banner : On last Saturday, the 25th instant, an : educational meeting was held at Bethlehem Academy in order to stimulate the { zeal of our people in behalf of the great i cause of education. W. C. Benet, Esq.,' delivered a splendid speech replete with ! interesting facts and appropriate historical allusions. I would give you an anal-1 ysis of his argument, wero it not that a j brief abstract of a speech is too imperfect | a representation of an address delivered j as a symmetrical whole. Mr. Benet is j deserving of high praise for the zeal audi enthusiasm he manifests in a subject so intimately connected with the welfare of our peopfe as that of education. Having, spent three years in the great University I of Edinborough,and having obtained the; Master's degree, he can make himself of great value to our people in introducing! 1 ? 1 \f ? Dn?/>? i new IUUUS mill [Mini?*. mi. IK-Iicb ?> a-?j followed by Rev. John Kelly who said; that though iuvitecl to make a speech ho J had 110 speech to make, but at last started 1 off, and, though short. I regarded it onc^ of his happiest efforts. It was short, j pithy and pointed and interspersed with! sallies of wit. Mr. Kelly is a gentleman | of fine natural judgment, of extended travels and experience, and of good social qualities, so wherever I10 goes, ho commands tiie contidonco and respect of the public. Every one regretted tint the other two invited speakers. Col. Aiken and Dr. Grier, found it impossible to be present. They were both prevented from at-j tending by good and sufficient reasons. The audience was an appreciative one j and gave each of the speakers ttcveryj best attention. Every one went home well pleased with the day's proceedings and only regretting that a thousand people had not been present. We think the! people of this vicinity deserve praise fori sustaining a good classical school during the last two years with commendable liberality. A good school is an ornament to any vicinity and I hope that this community may be blessed in this particular for years to come. W. L. M. The Constitutional Amendments. [KroWvc Courier.] From our exchanges we conclude tlirtt the amendments in relation to the quit I Ideation of voters and In relation to the time of holding the general elections have carried by a large majority. This Is right, for all voters will admit the two elections should l>e separate and I that no person convicted of an infamous crime should t>eallowed to vote. We are glad (to seethat the negroes, almost as a unit,voted [ in favor of these amendments. Go%-ernnienl ! is a mere aggregation of societies and societies an aggregation of individuals, and who ! would accord to a felon or. criminal an equal i voice in the makingof laws with honest men? , The felon is hy his own siet virtually ostraclsj ed atitl his voice should not bo heard in the i government, the organization of which is designed to supply acts of which he has been (convicted. A pure iiovernmont bespeaks a ! pure people, and to permit felons to vote is a ! virtual destruction of the objects of government. A pure man means a pure ballot and a pure ballot means a pure government. We are glad to see tilts amendment carried by the honest voters of the country, black and whim, i and as the Federal elections require separate , machinery, we are glad to see the right to sep. urate them from the State elections has been ' accorded. j The amendment in relation to the area of ! counties elicited a divided vote. The Xpwx ! and Omricr of the isth instant, gives the vote jof twenty-tour counties, showing a majority j In favor of the amendment of i><8. The list I does not include Greenville. Pickens and York whicli gave large majorities against the I proposed amendment, as also six other coun' ties whose vote was unknown. We believe ; this amendment bus been, as it should be. de1 foated by a popular vote, and whether this be i the case or not. we' feel sure the vote is so close i that it can't be carried in the legislature. It ought not to be carried not only as bad policy, tint as detrimental to the true Interests of the j State. | It will here be remembered that when Gov. Ha good referred to such an amendment as practicable and desirable, wo boldly opposed | it and stood almost alone for months after it ! was proposed. The good sense of t he people have borne out our views, notwithstanding j the press generally was not outspoken on the question. It will also be remembered that we for te*. years advocated the rc-enaetment of the uMiry law as wise, that we opposed its repeal and that while the JWitvr and (Xturirr ami press generally opposed our views, we maintained ( them, and the re-enactment of the law has proved bcneflcial to every class and every Ini dustry. ? j We have ever opposed the homestead law ! and its legitimate offspring, the lien law, and i when they disappear, as they should, we will I a train have a prosperous State and an honest | citizenship Who will join us In advocating I the repeal or the modification of the home1 j stead law to a mere subsistence for one year' jit would beuellt everybody and It could b< ! carried. , j " CHEATING AX INDEPENDENT. Tiie Way the Fraud was Pcrpctrated f In canvassing the votes for members of Con 1 gress. In Mississippi, when 'late county win ) reached the tally sheet showed that Van II i Manning recei ved a total of 1.1WJ votes, and J , K. Chambliss 1.-172. Manning's counsel ob * jected to the counting of rhambllss vote fo * Chalmers. The fact that the votes were c: 8 1 for "Chambliss" was denied, and the ballot; I were called for by Chalmers' counsel, to prov the falsity ot the assertion, but they were no produced in evidence After hearing argu * ment, the Secretary of state decided that hi r duties were purely ministerial; that hecouli , onlv count the votes as tbey appeared in th 1 - . t... 4~l. l.lu /li.lv tc? mm, | returns; mm iicicimmu ........... ... - 11 lie vote In Tate county, as given in the tall IJ i sheet.and that he could not count 1.472 vote Fi therein lor Chalmers, as claimed by him, i>u .(would count the same for J. It. Chawbiiss I and. having canvassed the whole vote, he d< | clared Manning elected from the returns rt i: jcclved. According to the vote, as countei 1 ! Manning received s,7lo, Chalmers K.027,Carle _ 129, Chambllss 1.472, Lowery 1. Under the lai of the .State it is the duty of the Secretary ( 1 state to count the votes and declare then P suit, ami upon his declaration the Governo f issues the commission. The commission tui been issued by the Governor to Van H. Mat ning. It now appears that his old friends hav y been too strong for him. According to tli ^ dispatches received here, it seems that it ; , not as-erted that the 1,472 ballots in questio * did not.bear his name property spelled. It B to be assumed that they did, but those wl: r kept the tally spelled his name Ch wnbliss o the sheet where they kept their accoun'. Tl , ballots were all right, but the tally keepe: 11 spelled his name ineoriectly. after these ba ir lots had all been cast and counted. This pr d text lsevcn worse than theoneChalmers use us against I.yneb. It is the general impressic here that Chalmers will find it very difflcu 115 to induce the rJem?>cratic majority in tl r? next House to let him in. He lias an oppc tunity to meditate upon the vicissitudes politics. v . The State University.

[ / ."( li/orx prrxi mid ll nuiir: A friend has I'liUi'tl my addition In nil Ilorial in the .Uiln'i'illc Mrdium of November lii. containing some statements in referemv to Ih:1 South Carolin-i College (or C?lver?ily> which ought to be corrected. We had the honor. as well as pleasure, of entertaining (Jeneral Hemphill at. our house during the recent Fair, and were very sorry to discover t hai our esteemed friend was aiHiclcd wit It i>)ili/,'iriliiii'i. or sort* eyes. Possibly, nt this fact may lie found an explanation of the very erroneous and distorted views which the Ueneral has lalfen ol the South Carolina University ; tor, as the poet observes, "The difference is as great, between The optics seeing as the objects seen." In the llrst pia<-c, it is state*) on the authoritv of a "distiny uished educator," who is a "Professor in oneot, the Denominational Coll?^es," that the standard of sclioiarship in the University is very low. In reply to this "soil impeachment," I" do not hesitate to allirtn th;it,in point of scholarship,our matrietdates will compare favorably with those of any liti rary institution in the State or country. There may be, and doubtless are.some students in the University who are "not prepared to enter the Ureshnian ('lass in any of our Denominational Colleges." But. is this not equally true of Uurman. WofTord, Adccr, Newberry.and Krskine, in all ol which there is a Preparatory Department, expressly for the accommodation of those students who are "no. prepared to enter the Freshman Class," and who constitute, in some instances, "a large proportion" of the whole number in attendance? in the South Carolina University While'there is no Preparatory Department., in the ordinary acceptation of the t? rm, yet provision has been made by the Faculty for the instruction of those who are detieient In one or two studies, or not fully prepared to enter the first or lowest class. If tills ought to he considered a reproach, it is not peculiar to the University, but common to it with the Denominational Colleges themselves. Here, fl?A nrt.itisi.kiit hue fll ! 1 V Jill ?:v?-11 ? m u me mitted into ono of our College classes he Is still on trial, the tlnnl examination being the experiment urn cruel*. ]n the University or Virginia,as I am informed on the Inchest authority, the terms of admission are exceedingly flexible and accommodating: but the student must p;>s the ordeal of a most rigid examination at tiie end of the session, before he can enter a higher class. .Such being Hie case.it is altogether possible, (highly probable. indeed) that, there are Juniors and Seniors in that renowned University who are "not prepared to enter the Freshman Class in any of our Denominational Colleges." The second count in tills Indictment is of a still more serious character. It isafllrined (or insinuated) that, the Faculty have acted in bad faith in stating that board could be bad at eight or ten dollars per month. In their last prospectus, published soon after the opening <>f the University, It Is stated, most distinctly, that board can lie had at ten or twelve dollars a month. What are the facts? There are. at present, three messes in the College. In two of which the charge Is Just ten dollars a month, while in the other it is not more than twelve. At one house, outside of the campus, it Is only twelve, fuel and lights Included? as cheap, we venture to assert, as in any Denominational I'olletre in the State. In the South Carolina University, the rooms are large and elesant, with two dormitories attached, each of the hitter being occupied by only one student. I!ut the student must "purchase bis own furniture," sighs the editor of the Medium, who is, manifestly, a very tender-hearted man. Well, is there any great hardship in being required to furnish bis own room? He isstibJected to this expense only once while connected with the College: and when that connection is severed, his furniture may be sold almost at cost. What a terrible burden, to be sure! The student pays a matriculation fee ol only ten dollar*, after which lie Is entitled to all the privileges of the institution, tuition being absolutely free. How absurd to complain of the hardship of being compelled to furnish his own room ! Hut the third and last count In this Indictment charges that there is general disaffection among the students,and that large numbers are leaving from time to tinip. Tills statement does not appear in the Medium, but | WO ICttl'Il U)'* IHCb IMIMa liir able authority of ii private character. I ask again. Is such a statement warranted b.v the facts ol' the case? On the contrary, out of one hundred and fifty-two students, only four haw left; and of this very small number, one left from want of preparation, one on account of ill health, and another to encase in a profitaide business in Columbia. Hefurc leaving, he ad<ires>ed a very kind letter to the Chairman of the I-'aculty, speaking In the very highest terms of the Professors, whom lie characterizes as "perlect gentlemen/ We regret to add that the fourth and last, from whom the editor of the Mrdium obtained some of his "facts.'" did uot leave the University of his own accord. If General Hemphill desires lurther information, he will please address I'rof. R. Means Davis, Secretary of the Faculty. We repeat it, only four students out of one hundred and fifty-two have left College?a nio>t remarkable showing, our opponents themselves being Judges. I take this occasion to say that the very best feeli 111; prevails between Faculty and students. The latter are remarkable for their courteous and gentlemanly hear In*. During an experience of twenty-five yca-rf In teaching, the writer has never known a body of young men more distinguished lor both of these qualities?courte?y and manliness. It is for the people of South Carolina to say whether thcUniversity shall be rehabilitated. Gentlemen of talcut and influence, such as the editor of the Medium, may oppose it, but if the people of South Carolina are in favor of such an institution, It will stand, "Like Tencritre or Atlas, finremoved." Many good men are opposed lo the Fence Law, but public sentiment is overwhelmingly in its favor; and in this ease, as well as in the lormer, we think It is the duty of the mi1 ?!.*?
