Adjutant General.
HIwill be seen that our immediates fellow-citizen,
6ol. R. G. M. DuNovAs-r, has been elected Adjutant
and Inspector General. le will prove himself-wo,'
admirable successor of noble old CANTEY.
Legislative.
Wa-present our readers as much intelligence from
our Legislature as we have been able to rake together.
But after all, we have only reached the proceedingi'
of Thursday last. This is owing to some miserable
mis-management by which all direct communication
with Columbia has been debarred us. We blame no
body, because we don't know whose is the fault.
They have Arrived.
WuIr havc arrived I All the good things for Christ
toas.
Where are they! At G. I.. PzNr's, corner of Plank
Road Alley and Rue de Buncombe.
What might they be I Candies, Cakes, Oranges,
Cocoa-Nuts, Fire-Crackers, Banatinas, Canister-fish,
Apples, Grapes, FreEh Sauces, Condiments, Cranber
ries, and many other rarities.
How does lie sell them? Go and ask. One thing
we promise you-you'll not be cheated.
We stepped into Mr. P's Store yesterday, and saw
so many barrels, kegs, boxes and baskets in progrets
of. opening, that we were led to exclaim, ". This sure
3% must be the grand Depository of Santa Claus hint
Bnowden & Shear
ARz always full. Their supplies are regularly re
ceived and abundantly varied. No where can goods
be found superior to theirs. We invite attention to
their advertisement.
Wish a Vine Neot!
Oa a neat Gaiter! or a snug Shoe! or a light Slip

Notice this!
LEwIs & HAaaRsoN, merchants at Liberty Hill,
will continue to offer their goods at cost until the
5th inst., one day after Christmas. Ott that day
they will commence a grand auction of all their re
- maining stock. The auction will be continued from
day to day until the goods are gone. We are assured
that they have a long list oflirst rate, fresh articles.
Here's a chance fur bargains. Go and buy yourselves
rich.
We give this notice the prominence tif nn editorial
inserion, because the occasion is close at hand and
ne don't wish those who advertise with us to be
overlooked.
The City of Augusta.
Oscz every two or three months, we go to the
little city of Augusta. We have always done so,
until It is really something of a habit which we can
not well give up. It is only a ride of twenty-five
miles, and now, that we have a Plank Road all the
way, the trip is nothing more than a slight 2,40
jaunt. So last Friday afternoon, having some excuse
of business, we drove down to towa in about three
hours-hardly that.
'The city was quite cheerful and apparently well
so-do in point of business. A genttleman of our ac
qutaintance observed that Augusta had "sold her
commercial birth-right for a mess of pottage when mshe
agreed to the extension of the South Carolina road
itnto her limits." But nothing of thte kinud is as yet
observable. We hope the opintion is incorrect, and
that in reality Augusta's prosperity has but just
begun.
Trhe two nights we wvere there, delighted audiences
~- wre h~ek epchanted by the very beautifnlcexhtbitions
aflorded at Niblo's last summer, We considered it
a real treat, and so record our opinion. Casar de
serves credit, decided credit fur what hie is now
endeavoring to do in theatricals for Savannaht and
Augusta, and the people of those cities mistake the
thing very much when they fail to encourage him.
We should not omit to say that the Ballets ne wit
nessed were alternated by roystering Farces, in
which Miss DzcxE~xs always asserted her claim to be
admired.
We stopped this time at the new Hotel tup town,
ownted by Messrs. TaowalDGcE & JACKsONJ, and
kept by Stssrsox. It affords us pleasusre to say that
it is a fine hotel, delight fuily situated and admirably
kept. SutrSON is a Kenutuckianu and of course sup
pulies with Barotnial profusion. Then lhe has with
hinm, as general supervisor of the establishment,
NicxtasoN of Charleston, a younger brother of him
of the Mills House; and our private opinion is that
he quite equals the " old NtcK." At any rate every
thing goes like clock-work utnder him, and even the
muost petulant will find but little to scold at. It is
thought by some that the situation of this house is
too remote from the centre of business. We thought
so tno until we tried it. But it's a mistake. 'Thec
truth is, it's just near enough for conmfort, and not a
step too far off for fun-and what more can wre wish
fur in town accotnodatiuns. While we seek nut to
undervalue other flotels in Augusta, we must b~e
permitted to say emphatically that the Planter's is a
first rate house.
We called on .Mlaj'r Wua-r, at lies office (that of
thme Georgia Home Gazette) soon after we got down,
and found him, with pen and scissors in hand, hard
at it. But in itat warm and hospitable manner
which he ever exhibits towards strangers visititng htis
city, lie threw down the implements of the craft and
joined our perambulattons. Our visits to Augusta, of
lute years, hare received much of their bright color
in; from the Major's kintd attentions. And, besides
thainking him heartily, we wish for htis excellett
Jourrml unbounded prosperity.
MIuch sport is anticipated in connexion nith the
Rutee week soon to come off on the Lafayette course
near Augusta. Nina, Red Eye and Highlander,
three of the very best nags in the Union, will be
there. A large crowd is expected arid a brilliant
time. To those of our friends in Cirolina, whto wish
to vIsit Augusta on a pleasant occo.sion, we would
say, " go down race-week."
We could rattle on to tell how we called on our
advertising friends in town, attd how they showed us
their rich stocks of goods, and how we were tempted
to spenid a few dimes with them, and how (like your
real gentleman-merchants as they are) they once in a
while would say " oh, jus~t take that trifle along,
you'll oblige me," and htow they sell at the must
moderat, profits, and various other items them-to
appertaining. But we'll say tno more now.
Be Tha nkful.
Aso-rtia year is drawing to itsgeclose. The me.nie
old season of Chtristmuas is at the door. Hoary Win
ter, with his grey vestments and icicle brillianta,
rules the day. His winds, whtichs have stripped bare
all the trees of the forest except the Pine and the
H1olly, now lend their bracing influences to the race
of Adam. Mince pies and jellies, and a hundred
other refections of the kind are being prepared by al1
the good dames of the land, that their loving spouses
and rosy-che ked bairns may have an extra treat for,
the holidays. 1Tme has flown another round in hisI
swifted footed race. Many have passed away since
the greetings of last Christmas morn. But many of
us are here yet, and for this let us be thankful. As
expressing our sentiments on this occasion better thtan
we feel able to do at this time, an extract is hereto
appended, taken from the Georgia Home Gazeule of
last week. Truitthfsl and beautiful in its sentiments,
it is also wel) expressed. Anud thus it readeth :
" Christmas is the time to thtrow off care and enjoy i
a little breathing-space in the great race of life ; to
,feel humasa and hopeful; to open the heart and look
over the book of memory ; to revive old feelings and F
think of old friends; ro-get otne into the sunlight ;to
become happier and better and more thankful men.
Thankful !-that is the word. Thankful that we seet
the end of another year in health and life and happ:- I
ness ; thankful that the pass has been so enjoyable, n
that the present is so bright and joyous, and that the d
feture is lighted tip with some rays of promise.
Thankful that we lbga escaped disease, and abun- A
danitly thankful that our eyes are not yet dimmed, anid ci
' the night corne,' upoa which never rises 1he Sun of
to.-row" n
lrom Washington.
NlO''tNG has transpired at the Federal City, since
tie meeting of Congress, particularly worthy of mett
tion. We have not therefore commenced our sreleo
tions of matter from that quarter. Next week we
shall begin to furnish our readers Washington intelli
gence with as much regularity as the nature of the
case shall seem to demand. By this time, we pre
sume our young delegation are all stowed away on
Capitol hill or elsewhere, in sung, cosy rooms, in quiet
houses, and with attentive lanladies to rninister to
their wants, with fine beds and soft carpets, all warm
edi up by good'fhe places, to say nothing of the round
table-well providbd with (not canvass back ducks and
fried oysters) but an abundance of 31. C. Stationery,
by means of which they are to give to the press the
lucubrations called into existence by a Winter of Con
gressional excitement. We really envy them the
brilliant opportunity of distinction now before them.
But it is not an envy of that kind which prevents our
w ishing them great success.
Bxv. Tucxas, the proprietor of the Washington
Sentinel, has received the Senate printing, which is
all very well. This is nhat the Southern Press
lacked. The Smntinel may now last and (Io much
good, provided it does not give way tso much to that
egotistical propensity which leads some editors to say,
" These are the principles ee have ever labored to set
forth," when they are as yet mere newspaper novi
t'ates.
Missing.
WHAT has become of the South Carolinian, an ex
cellent paper publiliedi in Columbia, S. C., by R. W.
Gtaees antd edited by Mir. Jontson ? We are fairly
entitled both by-regular subscription and terms of ex
change, to receive its visits. But for the last week it
has been suddenly and unaccountably missing. We
a-c not alone. No subscriber here has received one
out of its last five issues. This is provoking, especi
ally at this time, when we look to the Carolinian for
full Legislative intelligence. How is it! Has the
Stale printing overdone our brother's resources ! We
hope not.
The Weekly Newberrian.
Tuts is the style and title of a new paper, the first
number of which now lies before us. It is published
at Newberry C. II., by Messrs. REM & WILsoN, at
$2,00 per annun in advance, or $2,50 at the end of
six months.
The first number of this new-comer is a good one.
Its conductors, int a plain but suflicient salutatory,
give promise of most laudable exertions. We gladly
place the" Ncwberrian" upon (our list of exchanges,
and cordially extend the right hand of welcome and
fellowship to its editors.
The Grumblers Satisfied.
Soxr. critics kicked tip a literary dust, or tried to
do so, because the English Thackery had spoken, in
the outset of one of his late works, somewhat lightly
Of W-AsIrNTON, calling him Mr. WAsHtNGTON, who
bravely led the American rebels in '76. The author,
hearing this, writes a very handsome explanation,
which the most angry grumbler of them all must re
ceive as amply sufficient. After jestingly showiig
tip the mistaken construction placed upon hiis lan
giage, lie concludes with the following earnest tribute
to the rreat American iHero and Patriot:
" As irony is dangerous and may hurt the feelings el
friends whom I would not wish to offend, let me say
in perfect faith and gravity, tha' I think the cause foi
which Washington fought entirely just and right, and
the champion the very noblest, purest, bravest, and
best of God's men."
The Violet.
TuE North Eastern storm had been sweeping ovet
the face of nature, with its chilliest influences, foi
thirty hours. When it had passed by, we walked
into the garden besidc our cottage. The sun wat
shining brightly again, but every flower hail yielded
to the tempest's blight anad their scattered leaves 1a3
wilted on the damp earth. So we thougt, until
gentle fragrance arose as from beneath our feet. We
looked down and there, still blooming freshly ant
breathing its sweetness around, lay the modest vitolet
none thte worse for the winter's blast. There isa
lovely virtue in life which answerethi to this litthi
flower, and that virtue is IHumility. We leave thte

and Death." We regard thme piece a gem and pre

" What is Life, Father?1"
" A Battle, my chtild,
Where the strongest lance may fail.
Where the wariest eyes mn'sy be beguiled,
And thme stoutest heart may quail.
WVhere the foes are gathtered otn every hand,
A nd rest not day nor night,
And the feeble little ontes must stand

"What is Death, Father!"
" The rest, my chtildl,
W~hen the strife and thte toil are o'er,
Aiid the angel of G< who, calm attd mild,
Says we need figh to more ;
Who'driveth away the demon band,
flids the din of the battle cease;

"Let me die, Father! I tremble. I fear
To yield in that terrible strife !"

settled policy of the State. Mir. Leitner and
air. Trucker, of Spnrtanburg, opposed the report,
and advocated the petition, n presenting a ratre
exceptional case, which justified and demanded:'
relaxation. The petitioner was described as a
workman of excellent character aiid habits,
while his wife and children, alt hough slaves, now
owned by himself-having been purchased for
that purpose--were so slightly touched with the
nferior blood as to pass reaudily with strangers
for whites. The ,policy and necessity of rigid

Mdiss. This body of ministers numbers about eighty.
The membership represented by them is reported at
13,593 whites and 10,015 blacks. Besides the tra
velling ministers who compose the Conference, there
are 1J7 local preachers. There has been an increase,
a. the result of the past year's labors, of 1,l00 mem
bers. Six of the travelling preachers died during
the year. Bishop Capers presides. Ifis health was
so infirm that lie would return honic fron that point,

DJou RILEY has been sent to the state prison

his father not being able to write. This is a case in
