Mr. Pickens' Specel is conelutlel this
week. We owe him an apologry for tie
unintentional mutilation which it hassi
cred, in passing through our hands.
The reader will hear in mind that there is
always a Derilain a Printing Offiie, and t hat
the temptations to sin cud error, are not
few, nor easily resisted.
We will attend to our frictds at Green
wood, in our next.

A friend tells us that it is now selling in
Augusta at 7 cents.
Bl estc.-We had thie pleasiirc on Friday
evening of altending another Eihibitioan of
Mr. Bacon's Musical Class. The reader
,will remember that we attended tin a lnitrier
occasion, and gave a passinag notice. It
was our pleasnre then to indulge inl n mild
criticikan, ill fle hope flhat tlt! iew fa;iuts
which our Orgcan of Music enailed ts to
deteet, would be-corrected. Our vanity is
not so great, as to lead us to believe that
our poor sutggestions were omnipotent ; but
the fact is so, that these fatlts no longeren
ist, and that aLII.e young Iadies whom we
had file happiness of hearitar, gai e proofs
of decided improvement. Vi e are glouni to
know that Alr.' uncoan has a large Ch:sQ,
and trust tha1 he n1ill contiitue his very
plesaniiit and innocent enertinmeis dur
intg this dull anld heavy seasoInt.

havo elapased, since ne have la1d a uaood
rain, and more lhan four siiev our la
-rhocer. The heat has beein tteculitarly op1
pressive ; the Thermometer onl severni days
being as high as 95, anl for ahiost neeks
together, giving a daily inuxiamm o t
less than Vu0.
We are glad to ktaow, that the drotiat
has not bect general in the op-coitry, ur
even-in this District. The Crops of jorn
are ite, and tle Cotton is as promising as
usual. Flour is fast coawing d1on at itt price.
Already it hae been purchased fron Wg
gots at $7 U, ad we belicee that no will
have ila -pleasure of eating it at.$G 00.
The suspiciotn is becuming qtite getneral,
that Mr. Biddle is not in a very good cota
