Jones. C. H. Allen, John H. Wilson and Isaac Branch are with us I 110 more. The temperance question occupied a space J * in this paper, and its general make-up j was not essentially different, from then newspaper of to-day. The talk of hard times 1 was much the same as it is to-ilay. People! then were poor and taxes were high, too. From the schedule of the Greenvillo and Columbia Railroad as advertised, it is to be;' seen that Mr. Syfati rau his train from Abbe-' ville to Hodges in forty-five minutes. Thei fare from Abbeville to Columbia was ?1.23. |, Dr. Bonner in this issue urged the Associate 1 Reformed Presbyterians of South Carolina to J establish a Female College somewhere in the , iState, and suggested Newberry as a suitable place. The suggestion was not acted on a. that time, but, as our readers know, he him j self established the Due West Female College.' Several references are made to the unsatis" i' factory manner iu which the mails arc car- , ried and papers lost. '! From the following editorial paragraph, it : will be seen that the ways of politicians in 18-54 were not dissimilar from tlie acts of those who have been in power since the war: "Shameful. ? Grant Thorburn, better Iritmrn oc ''T.uiirlo Trwlrl oil rtlfl mu n ti*Uli ? ! 1 young wile has been turned out of a post in i the New York Custom House worth only jlO'< per week simply because he is a Whig." j; Reference is made to Dr. Thornw.-ll and the ' South Carolina College. V j, A correspondent reports a sermon by Rev. { Alexander Campbell, the originator of the; "Christian church," or what irreverent peo-! ple.term "Campbellite" church. From the re-; i * port of the sermon, we quote as fallows: "Relative to the founding of the church,Mr. j Campbell had a good deal to say. He said that : everything must of necessity be sustained, " The walls of that house, lor instance, were i supported by the foundation. The planets of! the solar system were dependent on the sun i. as a centre of attraction. So was the church . dependent, being founded on a "rock." Rut j rm'jiniTiif.inns of :i rnci'fi rwpnt fl:ilo 1 were not thusfounded. in his judgment. They j were nil dependent, and had every one a sup- I port; but that support was a "contrivance of j man. I "Proceeding to specify, he was understood |* to say, tnat the Roman Church was just what j its name purports?it was the I'sipucy. Hut j fur the genius of papacy the order could not i1 exist. In tlus one idea lay the whole secret of j continued identity?destroy the papacy, and < you destroy the church. "Episcopacy was also represented as depend- j enton the peculiar genius of its own organi-1 ( zatiou and government embracing the whole , machinery of higher and lower orders amongst the clergy. "Presbyterianisia in turn was represented j 1 as a dependency on human contrivance.! Having been originated in the organization of j < a Presbyterial form of government, it depended for existence on the genius and workings of ihut system. He contended that Presbyterian . compact was not the result, of unity in doc- . trines, but of the genius of church politics. "And Congregationalism was said also to de- , pend on the workings of its own peculiar or- ! gunization. "All these influences were represented as j sectarian and rtiiuous in their tendencies but :.v. said he,'I am for the broad schcmc of Cath>l:cisi!i. Not Roman Catholicism: for so soon | is you apply the name Roman, the meaning s ivsirit-iiMi. i aiit mr 111 ??j |/i inv ij'.. o v. j liiiversal and unrestricted Catholicism.'" The "plan of endowment" of Erskine College by the issue of "Scholarship J.oiuls" is I ublished in full. The Trustees adopted the I 'plan" in I.ihd<ay Hall on the 8th of April, | with the stipulation that, if ?.">(),01(0 should lot he raised on or before the 1st of August-,! then the subscription which might he revived should be null and void.

Hemphill, Joseph Ij. IjCc, A. ?.I. It seems that the up-country then, as now, ,bought it had good reason to complain of the ow-country. A correspondent, among other things, says: "From the formation of the government of ^outh Carolina, an aristocracy has been nourished in the low-country. A compromise between the up and low-country formed it; the duo section possessing wealt h, the other population. The low-country was the first settled, ind at lirst for a long time; the up-country had no share in the government until their complaints convinced the patriotic of both sections that something must be done. This led to a compromise in which the people of the low-country obtained the offices of the <tate for their favorites, and a majority in the Legislature. There is a similarity between the i-overnment of South Carolina ana that of anient Home, not so much iu the cause that led bo Its formation, as in the manner of its operation; the people, driven on by the oppressions of the Patricians, seceded; a compromise gave them an influence in the government. The people of the low-country have the same importance in the government that the Patricians had. It Is true they have not ijereditary lilies, but they can look down with ?imti.ni tit mum thi> nnnnle of t he un-eount.rv : they can feel with the saino pride that a line i>f distinction is clearly marked between them m?5 the people, though not. by stringent laws forbid them to marry, as it was with the old Koman patricians. They, above any class in this Union, fear the spread of general uitcllis?'iice; they dread that, under its inlluenee, the people, learning their rights and knowing where their oppressions are, their power and Importance will vanish away. "A college was next attached as a part of the system of aristocracy, endowed with plenty of money to make education. It became the pet child ol government, where young men were trained to hold the offices of the state?bound together to support each other in elections?? place for the wealthy to be educated, while many as worthy sons are driven to.seek in another State that which is denied them in their own; or, unable to defray the expenses of so costly an education, they must ?o to what they patronizingly call a "good tiigh school." Itev. \V. It. Hemphill, associate editor, in living an account of his recent trip to Abbeville village, said: "We enjoyed, as formerly, the hospitality md friendly intercourse of our friends. Major Jones and It. A. Fair, Esq. Maj. Jones is an active, energetic member of the Methodist church, with a little sprinkle ol'Secederism ibout him, as we accidentally learned. His father formerly attended the ministrations of [lev*. Mr. McMillan, at Due West,?was possessed of the works df the Erskines, whose l>n Pno.l f,. Iilo ( Itlilv tin Sabbath, ami trained his children to t he? riirid mode of observing the Lord's Day. Mr. Fair sa member of the Piesbyterian church, demoted to her interest, and extension. He was raised a Scceder. Thus it is that Secederism loses its members and its men of Influence. Christians are tlie light of the world nnd the <alt of the earth, anil it it no small satisfaction to know that the A. 11. church is able to \ fiord both "light' and "salt" to other jh arches. "We found our friend nnd christian brother, David Lesly, Esq., in a low state of health, lie is one of the "excellent of the earth," and ihould his present affliction terminate fatally, Ins loss will be seriously lelt in the village ami District. "We had the pleasure of dining with Rev. Mr. Montgomery, of the Presbyterian church, 1 ..< 1 ,?UI. ... UlU UJ MlillviJIU, \> llll III ICdSM- IIUU' IA4Ilors, the fourth wo did not see. Editors and ?x-ediiors are as "plenty as blackberries" til ;he Court House. Step round town, and lift a atcli here and there, and you will be apt. to <c;?re one up. We number nine or ten of this useful class now at the village. "The vil.'age of Abbeville is advancing In the tvay of improvements. The Methodist ehureb is undergoing a thorough remodeling, and ivhen finished, will be quite improved in appearance. A Presbyterian church is one the way, small in size, but large enough in price. 1'lie Presbyterians should have had a church in the village years ago. A neat female academy is up, but, not completed, and a male u'Hdeiny is to be erectcd. These are all laudable enterprises, and the people of the village lind themselves very much burdened, these Itard tinifs, by having the expenses on all ihese buildings to meet at or near the same time. Notwithstanding these pressing ditli-1 .ml ties, the good people of Abbeville village liave generously subscribed near Si,000 to enlow ErskineCollege,and the subscription will yet be increased probably to ?1,200. "Some of the villagers complain seriously that they are called on from all parts of the District to aid in building churches and academies, and when they are now pressed foraid. [ittie aid comes from the country. Now, in jur humble judgment, the country people mould reciprocate tne Kinu oinces 01 tneir Yiends in the village, and we hope the friends >f Erskine College in I he District will extend i helping hand promptly?without waiting for an agent?in advancing the cause of education and religion at. the county seat. Two 'onsiderations should prompt to this course, first, we are bound to do to them as we would that they sltould do, and as they have done, to as: and second, it should be the desire of ev?ry man in the District to sec education and religion flourishing at the Court House. Evsry citizen in the District will he benefited or injured by the influence that emanates from the Sent of Justice. If churches and academies are erected there, and exert a healthful Influence on the villagers?put a stop to prevailing evils?will not that blessed influence he felt in the remotest corner of the District ? Suppose there was such a thing as a grop-shop or a gambling room, at the village. Such establishments, it will be admitted, are "evil. only evil, una mat continually,' out wno would I'cel the evil ? The villagers only? No; tliu pernicious influence would circulate through the District, corrupting the young men, and urging the old topers with accelerated speed to their awful doom?filling the land with gamblers, loafers,and murders,and polluting the atmosphere with the stench of rum and the foul breath of the blasphemer. But on the other hand, suppose several good churches were erected at Abbeville Court House, and the gospel faithfully proclaimed there Horn Sabbath to Sabbath, religion revived and its blessed influence controlling the citizens, would they alone be benefited? No; the leaven of love would spread through the District, and exert Its influence insensibly in every quarter. "The people in the country would be gainers by havinir a healthy religious influence exerted at the Court House. The people in the country should take pride in having the county seat equal to any other District village in the State, in the matter of churches, academies, and other public improvements."
