EDGEFIELD, S. C.
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 12, 1853.
WsE call attention to:he new advertisements
of SyownF% & StEAR and of Wit.i.tIA 11. CRAxx,
all of Augusta. They have every kind of goods,
from the commonest to the richest texture, and their
prices are in accordance witi the times.
50 ELECTION.
IN consequence of some irregularity, the nature of
which we are not precisely cognisant of, the Mana
gets repuorted no result from the election recently
held to fill the vacancy in our Legislative delegation.
Whether new writs of election will be issued, or
whether the whole matter will be left to the decision
of the Ilotise of Representatives at its next sestion,
deponent sayeth not.
We have received no list of the Polls and cannot
therefore give the exact result.
FOUR MILE BRANCI ACADEMY.
ntis excellent Institution, which has been in suc
cessful operation for several years, was re-opened for
the year 1853 on the 3rd inst. For further particulars,
see advertisement in another column.
From our knowledge of; the gentlemen connected
with this school and from sundry items of informa
tion we have received as t3 its very skillful manage
ment, we run no risk in pronouncing it fully entitled
to the liberal support of our enlightened section.
CONGRESS.
WE have been instructed, by third persons, to
state that Col. PIcF.ss will have no hesitation in
serving the Congressional )istrict to the best of his
ability, if the people think proper to elect him their
Representative at the Election to be held in February
next. This consent is given in consequence of re
peated and strong solicitations which have come up
fon different sections. Ile still, however, adheres
to his purpose of refraining front a political canvass,
and leaves the matter entirely to his friends.
GRAND CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.
TnEy are coming. Who? Nothing less than
SRoassos & ELDREOs famous Circus Company,
with the addition of a most imposing array of wild
Animals &c. Jump up boys, and kick your heels !
Roll over inan agony of delight, ye little darkies!
rin with satisfaction, old folks! (For we well
now it is as joyful intelligence to you as to the
young people.) All of you, prepare your change in
time-for the hiand-bills are tup in Doiiv'S piaza,
nd the Show will be here this day week, 3Mr. 3Merri
man, IPandy Jack and all. IHurrah for us! If we
can't got pudditng we'll gladly take pie. If we can't
get an Opera. we'll take a (ircns and a MIonkey
show. A f:er all, a Circus, with its attendant circum
stances of tinsel, stockitnot; spotted horses, brass-band
'iiiiic and saw-dust, is a notable cvent in village
life. AndI it delights our editorial pe to mark it
down. Turn to the~ Advertisement and dlevour it.
ONLY' 0lI SAY', a~ EN0'Gll!"
I-r is rather amusing to read the opinions of our
Ninisters and Charges in Foreign Courts, itt reference
to the adequacy of their salaries to meet the necessi
ties of their rrespertive missions. They have all
writen letters home upon this point. in accordance
(if we are not at fault) wvithi a resolution passed lby
the Unaited States Senate requesting information in
tle prenmises. Of course it was to be expected that
the general response, upo.n atny such hint, wotild lie
'Give, giv-:.'" This is bitt hmaniii ntature all the
world over. Accordingly, we find that the whole of
them, with a sinigle and a sinagular exceptiont, says
that his pa is not enough.
Th'e. Charge at Buenos Ayres "suipposes that seven
thousand dollars per annum is the very least amount
for which a diplomatic agentt of any, gre could li~ve
in that city."
Theli Chiarge at Caracas replies that by the closest
economy he has got along with a very small fantily,
without having to exceed his salary inore thtan a few
hudredl dollars each year.
I'The Charge to Lima~ states that " inasmuch as the
salry allowed him by the Governmtient is only
$150, a year, antd the expentses of his oilicial resi
lence are at least $7,351, it follons that he is serving
the coitury at a cost (to hinmself) of about $3000 per
oanum. Vecry clear reasoninig that! Mr. RAsoitru
CLAy is evidenttly in earitest about the miatter.
MIr. YE:I.v en-ros KIse, who serves his country at
higota, seems to be of opinli'in that his pay will do
tolraly well, proevidled his official entertainments
are suff'ered to pass oIlywithout wimies and oither extras.
As nuch as to say, sturely the Senate of the Amtericani
Union will allow stome htudreds moore. rather than
that their Represenstative in flogota should suffer this
shame before the wvorld.
Our Charge at Lisbon saiys distkaetly that $5800
wil jest suflice him with great care anid by living
very uinostetntatiously. But, if his governnmnt expects
him to entertain his own countrymn. or fure igntes at
diner or evening; parties, it will take-.oh! a great
deal more to answer his purposes. lie dent say how
au, truisting (we imagine) that the Seniate's he
neficence may do more for' hims thian lie would in any
wise ask. V'ery sensible in you, Mr. lIanoocK !
3r. EowAan Joy 310ats, who is at Naples, al
most swears that lie does not receive half enough.
Amog other contsiderations, lie cites the fact of an
English liinister Plenipotentiary who ruceives $28,
000 a year, as if this were a oase im poilt whein
xaking of a mere Charge.
The letter of Mr. Larut:a S~vsaA-scca, who is
Charge at the Sandwich Islatnds, is a regulatrplio
principii. HeI assumes that the Department kntows
well enough that his co~mpensationi does not deserAe
te name, andI only writes lest his case should be
overlooked at Washington for watnt of a friend to
bring hinm to notice. Thtat's a sort of a blu fT game
the gentlemarn fro~n the Sand wich Islands is playing.
But we now come to ihie larger fa'h,
.Mr. A uso'r L.:w ar~er, Minister to the Court of
St. hmes, puts down twenty thousand dollars as the
heas~t amount which will mneot the exigencies and re
qurrennts of that position. This is $11,000 ruoro
l . a Stiniste'r receives from our Governtenit. Mr.
L tittls it proper to.audd th.st lie has ceeeder4 the
$0d0eery yeas
O) r MJinister to Spain bcgins by asserting that
n Madrid is, by odds, the dearest Capitol in all Eu.
rope" Our readers aan im girne the rest. Of course,
if AssoT L.\w a.ENcE gets $2%000O, lie- ought to get
at least thirty thousand. Buet really, according to
M~r. Baaione's account, Nladritl must be a terri
bly expeisive ptae. Only mu think of woud selling
at one cent a pound! We mentioni this as one of;
the strong points of Mr. S's comiuciiation. Perhaps
it ,vill go a great, way towards raising his salary.-.
w bhoulld'nt be surprised.
Our .Katers to the other Courts of Chirimtondom.1
srite in prenty mutch the same strain. lA dp, several
athter little Chasrges. In the whole list, we (imd bu
yue wan who says in plaIn Anglo-Saxon thiat he re
eives qute as rnneh pay as he needs. This is Mre
ScuLnoEuza, our~ Charge M Stockholm. And this
.- imen, aLD.A wQ vensture to say, is a jew~el of a
Republican. Not that we would cast any imputa
tion upon our other foreign servants-but to find inl
Mr. 8's brief and modest letter a variation from the
general cry for mnore-more-more, is something so
refreshihg that we are minded to conclude this ar
ticle by giving his language -erbatim ct literalim.
Here it is:
"I would say that I consider the resources provided
for the charge d'affaires at this place to le sufficient;
and I would add, that an my belief, and inl consider
at ion of the peculiar structure of the society, a dimu
itition of those resources miglg impair the power tu
be useful."
OUR VILLAGE ACADEMIES,
BOTH Male and Female, were opened on Monday
last-the Male Academy under the charge of 31r.
LarrNER, the Female, under the supervision and
guidance of their fonner Rectors. We have onl5
one remark to make, in regard to the merits of these
schools, at this time. It is, that each one of then it
equal to any similar Institution in South Carolina.
Our advice to all of our fellow-citizens, who desire
to give their children superior advantages and at the
same time to foster edteational enterprise at home, is
to send their boys and girls to one or the other ol
these Institutions immediately. If they prefer othe
schools in this or the adjoining Districts, we have not
a word of objection to urge. If they have no such
preference, however, we earnestly appeal to them tc
lend us their help, and we will soon show them that
they have done a wise thing. This we say, because,
while we aro very willing to believe that other tcigh
boring schools are all they profess to be, we know that
ours are excellent ones, ably supplied with instruc
tors and well provided in every respect. The oppor
tunity being now fairly and fully ofTered to the peo
ple of Edgefield of carrying into permanent existence
District Schools of the highest grade, it remains ta
be seen whether they will embrace it. We believe
they will. 31any are already doing so--others are
making preparations to follow their example, and we
have faith enough in the intelligence, sagacity and
pride of our people, to believe that many more o.
them will come and do likewise.
EDITORIAL CHAiNGES.
Mn. F.%aa. one of the associnte editors of the
Abbeville Banner," has relinquisled his imterest in
thatsheet to 31r. CuaTnEs BI. A.i.EN, who wam
formerly its sole proprietor. Under the skillful direc
tion of this last named gentleman, the Banner will
float to the breeze on its new voyage. May it be a
prosperous one !
The " Ilamhurg Reprnirant" has recently passed
from the hands of 31r. J. M. Rrosnso., having beer
purchased lay !1r. IAtRD. Whether its publieatiot
will be continued or not we are anable to say. Mr.
I. speaks of " hanging out his editorial shingle"
elsewhere. May he have natch better luck than the
gentleman hito "lhng out his banner on the outet
wall!"
31r. C. C. Pucgr'r has also sold his part of the
. Southern Rights Advocate" to his ca-editor, 31r. T.
J. RANDAL. The Adrocte has been heretofore one
of the most complete papers in the State, and wev
doubt not it will still progress as usual.
TRIP TO AUGUSTA.
Pun HArs many will say, " well, a trip to A ugusta
is nothing to make a newspaper paragraph out of
we have all accomplished that great feat over anda]
over again ; and, now the Plank Road is reaching
our neighborhood, we are pretty much in town, a
one nmy say. and know about as much of the daoiang
there as you can tell in." This may all be exactly
true, good reader; yet we have broached our suhject
anti intend to fullon it up, for a brief space at any
rate. And this we do, not from any special attach
meent to our caption, but because our experience lasa
tatght us tat te Editor, who begins an article and
looks back, will make as slow progress itn keeping
pace with the Press as did Lot's wife in getuitag out o1
Sodoam. So here goes.
We heard, befure leaving home, that the road we
usually took to reach the Pinc IHouse, was almost
inpassable in one or two places. This indauced us to
try another, viz: the old one which leads lay Iotrzr'
Cross Roads. Anad a miserable blunder we zmade of
it, truly'. For saome two miles, it proved to he jus
"a leetle" worse than thec Devil's Rauce Pathts ia
Abeville ever were to our knowledge. WVe dona

After running the risk of upsetting ouar fanuily at

> a, very intelliarent Alabamaian. It was to tile of
iet, tht il( ever he camo back to this country, just
would be the one of his choice. So much for the en
couragemnent of our Piney Woods farmers.
We reached Augusta at sun-set and took lodgings
at the old United States Hotel, which has always
been with us a favorite house. It is now kept re
imarkably well. The table is decidedly good, without
any extra pretetnions. The chambers are fitted up
anew in a neat, cleanly and comfortable style. The
attention of servants is prompt and satisfactory.
And, taking all things into consideration, we make
no hesitation in recommending it to our readers as the
most agreeable and convenient stopping-place in
Augusta. We must not omit to boast of the delight
ful fresh Shad, which, among many other good things,
were served up several times during our stay. The
cofTee maniufactured hero also deserves to be noticed
for its excellence, as this is an article which we sel
dom find good in large hotels.
Soon after reaching the city, our enquiry as to the
publie amusements of the evening (which is about the
first one with country people generally) was answered
by the information that the celebrated 3iagician,
3ACA LLttTEtt, was to hold forth at 71 o'clock in
Concert Hall, this being " positively his last appear
ance in Auguista-but one." We accordingly got
our supper and posted off to see and heair MAcALLIS
TER. His exhibition was at once entertaining and
obtounding. Among other things (now, listen, boys
and girls!) this artful 1 Wizard of the North," as he
calls himself, turned Canary birds into eggs and eggs
back again Into Canary birds in a twinkling. lie
burned a lot of pocket-handkerchiefs borrowed from
the audience, and restored them Instantly to their
original condition by the stroke of his wand. lie
caused an orange bush, in bloom, to bring forth ripe
oranges before a stuttering man could say "Jack
Robinson." But, greater still than all, ie took a
commtuoni black bottle (or what was apparently such)
and gave to various persons any kind of liquors,
wines, cordials &c., they desired. The bottle as
suredly conld not hold more than a qtrart, and yet
lie seemed to pour from it several gallons of the
aforesaid drinks, besides any quantity of water. Of
course there is some hidden mechanism upon which
this trick delieds. But it is, thus far, safe from the
public ken, and every one is obliged to acknowledge
it a very singular, if not a wouderful performance.
The Hall was crowded and the audience generally
seemed to be enraptured. It is certainly a kind of
Exhibition which does remarkably well for once; but
how any one can fancy a fifth and sixth repetition of
it, we are at a loss to undermtand. The people of
Angusta seem carried away by 3MAcA Lt.sET ; but,
a year ago, they could scarcely afford one full house
to a very respectable Operatic corps. Whether this
sipeaks well for the elevation of their taste we leave
others to determinc.
Augusta seems to be in a flourishing condition.
Tho prophecies which were made last winter, of its
approaching decline, have proved fallacious. Broad
Street presents, even on the last day of the week, a
very animated and business-like appearance. The mer
chants of this city are polite and accommodating, and
frequently give to purchasers excellent bargains.
We have had some experience with them in the Dry
Goods line, and take pleasure in recommeniling the
establisliments of SNOWDEN & SIMAa, GRAY BnO
TIRs.31LLt.F & Co., SETZE, CRANK, NvwDY &C.,
to Af1 who uiny visit Augusta for shopping purposes.
We observe that the Bridge of the South Carolina
Railroad Company is progressing fitely, as also the
ereeuioin of their Depot on the Georgia side. The
f')rmer is just above the old Augusta bridge and
promises to be an exceedingly strong and enduring
trticture. The latter is being built of brick, in
handsome style, on the site of those old Dutch shan
ties which were (luckily for the city) consumed by
fire somse time last year. An admirable substitute
indeed .
Duri-ng the present week, the Roces come off'on
tl~e l.afayette c:ouree, aud we were informned by sev
eral umemlers of the Jockey Cluib that they are to lbe
muore attractive anid exciting than they have beent
for a nuomber of years. Thme stables are superbly
supplied with the most high-blooded stock from va
rious quarters, and, for alimost every day last week,
we learned that thme course was visited by crowds to
witness the preparatory exercises of these gallant
steeds. Gentlemuen from Virgiinia, Alabiama and
elsewhere were al-ready in attendance, and many
others were expected. All anticipate the liveliens
kind of tiimes.
NVhilhe down-, we had she satisfhection of forming
the acquaintance of 3Mr. WurTE, one of the Eiditors
oif the Georgia Ihome Gu:eu~e and a very gentlemanily
fellow at that. We were pleased to learn that his
paper is gaining ground, as it deserves. Should any
of our readers feel inclined to stubscribe for an in
teresting Liuerary Jotirnial, we commeiii to them the
- ome Ga:ciie" as worthy of their patronage.
In Hlamubarg we spent the most of Satomrday, bet
were so much enigaigeid with business as to be unabAe
to look arimmal much. There wvere but few cotton
wagons ini on that day, as is usual upon Saturday.
We hueaird, however, from several sources, tibat the
traile of flamburg has been very fine thuroughout the
preselit seasson in all departments. Many of her citi
zens are now taking deep interest itn thiir pet project,
the Savannahr River RadlroadF, a charter for wvhicir
was obtained duirinig the last Sesusioin of our Legisla
ture. They have great confihence that they will save
their charter andl tuhtimately build the Road, We
wish theta nmne-h snccess in this spirited undertaking.
There isu a degree of enterprise andI wealth enlisted
ini its behalf which augors well for their prospects.
At another time we propose to speak moore folly of
this project.
I laving continued' these desultory observations
beyondl reasonuable limits, we must close. " Take It
away, yott imp, and give us another sheet of paper."

For the gentle one who flel asleep
To 'waken li the sky.
She lies In the cold churcb-y;rd
Her grave will so6n heWreen
Yet pressed by angel foot-prints,
Though the angels are unseen.
Kind Saviour! help the afflicted
In their sorrowing and tears ! .
And bend the how of Prodise,
Where a shalow now appears !
Turn their sad gaze, while mourning,
Where the stars are liung on high
Show them their chernbsm:laing
From the portals of the sky.
DIrD, in Lexington Distriet, on the morning e
the 21st of December ist, at lis father's residenie
near Leesville, AnNER WLLiAss, aged 22 years
mouths and 2 days. -
If the memory of the just-be blessed, it is no
proper that such a rman a. Mr iWLimmaa1ts should b)
consign-d to the tomb, vwithout some tribute to hi
worth. Though'not distiineffhed by caispienou
station or extraordnnry talents,-he Wias possessed o
those solid virtues which-digijfyand adorn the man
and niake the citizen an element of real strength ti
coitiiitics and States.
By this sad event, two paients, one child, and tw<
sisters, are deprived of the :iope and comfort v
their ezartihly existence; and.n numerous circle o
relatives and friends art left to.sourn the death e
one who hnd endeared hindto them by his a(
feetionate disposition,and the meekness and genthe
nIesS of his manners i for all 'who knew hini, lovei
him.
Although it is heart-rending to be elled upon t,
endure the utter annihilation -of the hopes and cx
peetitions, which cluster around. tle.life of such i
one as the departedt to be coielled to witniss ris'
he-lth blastel by disease, and; the beautiful forn;
full of life and netivity stitrened by. death, and lef
to moulder in tihe cold and silept grave: yet we di
not mourn as those widout-bope; having ever:
reason to believe that our los.bas been his eterna
gain. Ilis sickness, which was of a irgering char
aeter, and was of ninety days duration, he boi
with christiin patienet and4 resignation. Not
murmur esaped Iris lips, at when the last momen
eine, enlilsny, and without. a ..struggle, his spiri
went to Iim who gave it.
For six or eight years previous: to his death, hi
had been a meniber of the l~aptist church. Ili
piety was ardent, consistent:rad profound i the pa
rent of sin ?ere conviction of a rull personsion of th
truth. The writer of these Juie saw him soon a
ter his conversion, and remember with intere~st,1hi
fervor of his love, and the hionesty of his -Jeal. I1
literally gloried in the croses of.Jesus Christ. Befor
hbemechiristi:mn, lie was. an exemnplary nii
tuprighit youth. After that -ev.ent, lie b'eenme
holv amid devout cone. The deserves to beo called. ii
tthe'apostolie sense, a saint of .the Lord.
I1e ild been married, but at the time of h's ileatl
was a widower, his wife. having died about twe
years before, lHe leaves one child, (whichl wat
near aind dear to him) to tm n~u -his ls: lbnt h
committed it to, God, who isat.( father -of the father
less ,and will not siuller his litIt, ones to faiihi.
"BRhssed aire the dead wh' h idie in the" 1 ord~
yea snith the spirit, that thieysi? frurmalwhdr.labors
and their works do follow thery'
" Oth ! mrourn for those .who wep
Whlomt stern afflictinn'ehd..
With anguish over the hi4gIy sleep"
Of lover or of friend.
But they to whoim the sway
Of pain andi grief is o'er
Whose tears our Guod has wiped away,
Oh ! mourn for them -no mnure."
