THE METHODIST CONFERENC.-Our citizens
have discharged an agreeable duty in extending
a cordial welcome to the members of this body
who have taken up a temporary abode with us
in attendance upon their annual meeting. About
one hunred and IQ( on-life already"
exhibits the cheering and agreeable aspect which
-the presence of so many intelligent and Chris
tian gentlemen never fails to impart. Their so
journ will, we know, be profitable to us, and
the least measure of our duty demands thpt it
be rendered pleasant and profitable to them.
The Conference convened in the Court
Houdb, yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, and
was organized by Bishop Andrews, who made to
the clergy a very appropriate address, beautiful
especially in its exhibition of the highest virtue
of the Christian character. To our un-ortho
dox eye, the Bishop appears to be entirely equal
to his exalted position. With an attractiye and
yet commanding presence, he wears about ham
the manner and em ploys the-~ speech of, and
looks like, an earnest, profound and Websteritan
"thinker. We sadly mistake, if ho shall fail to
win the admiration of all who bay see and bear
him.'
No business has yet been transacted whaich.,t
would be proper for us now to make public.
We shall attend the sessions constantly, and
endeavor, next week, to make a complete report
of the proceedings. The Conference will meet
daily at nine and adjourn at one o'clock.
By resolution, the annual sermon to the min
istry by Rev. Dr. Cross has been postponed to
Sabbath evening, at candle-light. The pulpits
of the several chur ches in town will be occupied
on Sabbath, morning, afternoon and evening

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-The Mobile Register ol
the 16th instant says: Yesterday morning a
sad accident occurred to Mr. Henry Hunter, the

which fatal results are feared. From the report
of his medical attendant, given us by a friend,
we learn while cleaning a pistol and blowing
into the barrel-a revolver-by some miechane
the charge went off, sending the ball into his
head, and frightfully injuring him to sutch exten'
that the worst, fears were entertained for his
life. For a gentleman so much esteemed, the
deepest sympathy is felt, and the result watched
with great anxiety.
LANSDs IN KAesas-The St. Louis Intelli.
gener? says:
" It is almost incredible the amount of gold
that has been poured into Kansas, from all p arts
of the country, in view of the sale of the Dela
ware lands. We are sure that not less than
8100,000 have been sent to Leavenworth by
the St. Louis brokers alone."

ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR.
EDGO'IELD, S. C.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26,1856.
TO MY PATRONS.
The subsenber, having disposed of his entire inter.
est in the Advertiser, approaches the task of bidding
his esteemed patrons adieu, with pain and difficulty
For twenty years he has labored in their service, hov
faithfully they must decide, and during the whole a
that time he has received at their hands a generoit
and liberal support for which he has not the terms t<
express his heartfelt gratitude. His intercourse wit
them has indeed been one incessant flow of gooi
feeling and kind offices, and it is (to him) the most
trying act of his life to sever that intercourse. But
as years increase, he.is admonished that it will be
better, for one and all that his paper, be turned ovei
into younger and more energetic hands: And he
feels a lively satisfaction in knowing that it now fall
to the care of those who will not only keep it up tc
its present position, but advance it with ihe foremost
in the noble race of independent journalism.
Of Col. SINKINS and my son, D. R. DuaIoE, it is
unnecessary for me to speak in this community or Dis
trict. The one as Editor, the other as Publisher,
are, in my humble opinion, equal to all the require
ments of the craft. They really have been almost
the sole conductors of this sheet for several years;
and the assurance may safely be given, that they will
now buckle to their duties with increased closeness
and enthusiasm.
Mr. KERsE, the other partner, is a young gentle
man of the highest character for integrity, sobriety
and perseverance: A native of Pickens District, lie
has been in Edgelield for nearly eight years; and by
his whole deportment, has won the esteem of all with
whom he has been associated
The subscriber therefore commends his successors
to the public with the most assured confidence and
congratulates his old readers upon the arrangement
made for their benefit.
One word to the press of this and the surrounding
States. An aged publisher here says that, in parting
company with them, lie feels that he is leaving one
of the highest of earthly brotherhoods. Without a
thought except of kindness, lie offers them the ha nd
of a cordial adieu.
And now to his old patrons-permit him to say for
the last time his beloved old patrons,-the senior Pub
lisher of the Edgefield Advertiser has but to say
"Farewell and God bless you all.",
W. F. DURIS.E.
TO THE PUBLIC.
The subscribers hereby respectfully announce to the
public that they have formed a copartnership for the
future conduct of the Edgefleld Adverliser. They
make but one profession in advance, and it is: that
they will strive to improve continually.
The editorial management of the paper and the gen
eral supervision of the office will remain,as'of late, in
the hands, respectively, of the first and secoad-named
of the undersigned. And it will be the ambition of
old and new subscribers.
With the hope that hundreds will promptly come to
our ai'd, not onty with the sums of their old arrears,
but with long lists of newv friends, we dutifully write
down ourselves the public's most obedient servants:
ARTHUR SIMKINS.
D. R. DUJRISOE.
ELIJAH KEESE.
APOLOGETIC.
Articles from E. and S. C., and also from two es
pecial favorites, " Daisy" and " Myrtle," are unavoi
dably crowded out. We are abliged to work by mil
ler's rule, and cannot htelp occasionally delaying
things that suit our tastes and sentiments. Bear
with us.
WV. F. DURISOE.
We cordially reciprocate the ' old man's' good wish
es, and pray that he may enjoy a quiet, peaceful and
prosperous life for the balance of his days ; and ii
others will but do unto him as he does unto them,
there cannot be a doubt that such will be his lot.
In the course of a close business connection of
neirly six years' standing, it can he truthfully said
that ' we two' never had betwixt us the first symptoms
of a cross word or an angry thought ; and if this be
not something to boast of, it is at least pleasant foz
ourselves to remember.
Good luck attend you, oid friend. May you be Or.
dinary of Edgefield District forever; and if every
body saw things as we do, you would be.
(Sub rosa.) Just as soon as we pile up one more
thousand on our subscription list, we do aim to give
you and all your old editors one of the best dinner
ever given in South Carolina. --
And so, farewell.
MILITARY ELECTION.
At an election held on Friday last for Colonel o
the Saluda Regiment of Edgefield, Maj. SAMUEl
W'Arson was duly elected. The race was a prett)
one, he having received 480 votes and his opponen
405.
SUPERLATIVELY FINE.
The largest, smoothest, best potatoes we have eve
seen, were kindly sent to us a few days since by Mrs
-D~twsoN AxtssoNi of Beach Island. Thre bigges
weighed eee pounds, and two others (one a magnifi
cent long-fellowo) exceeded eight pounds. We piney
woods people-SAu. MAisif, I wtaNcE Jo:INsoN ani
all the rest of us-may hang up now. Mrs. A. ha
fairly borne of the palm, not only from us but froir
everybody. Two of these said potatoes have beel
sent, by ADaMS & Co's Express, to the city ol Ne w
York. And we here say-" and we say it boldly:
It i our belief that even that Great Emporium of thi
Western World never an such potatoes before.
SUPPER TO JUDGE BUTLER.
Some fity gentlemen of Edgefield District an
Village united, on Wednesday evening last, in givin
our honorable Senator a social supper previous to i
departure for Washington city. The tables wer
spread in Odd Fellows and Masonic Hall and sumj
tuously provided with good cheer. At eight o'cloc
P. MW. the company were seated and the feast wea
enjoyed to~ the full.
When it had been pretty well despatchied, Hon. I
W. Ptcas, president of the evening, called up o4
tinguished Senator In a few touching remarks. Tt
Judge arose in response, and entertained the assembl
with a series of reflections which elicited loud anr
long applause from time to time. Venerable and eret
in mien, with whitened locks but a still sturdy boson
he stood amongst us an old admiral, with no lIttle
the fire of his early lieutenanrtcy still lurkingfi h
heart. H~e was listened to throughout with the marl
ed attention and respect of devoted friendship.
After the Judge'sspeech,a rattlingfire of sentiments
songs and chamnpagne stoppers was kept up for ti
balance of the evening, which being ended (no matti
at what hour) the company dispersed harmoniousl
and-well, yes, quietly enough for such an occasiot
It was indeed an evening to be remembered, not enl
for the excellence of its oysters, its turkeys, Its hami
Its wines &c. &c., but for the genial satisfaction whic
seemed on all sides to crown the entire affair.
The Judge has since left for the Great Capital, cai
rying with hims the warmnesS wishes of an attache
cnsttusency br his health and coimfort during tl

AMUSEMENT.
It will be seen that our clever and spirited Thespia
r Company prtpose to entertain their fellow-citizens o
Friday night next with one of the most beautiful <
plays--" The Honey Moon." A rioh treat may b
anticipated.
Our amateurs deserve and should receive a larg
encouragement. Their performances are both refine
and entertaining, in no way militating (as some mope
would intimate) against either the morais or the wel
being of our community.
Decent amusements tend to displace the fondnes
for grosser ones. And yet there are those whp wi
lend their presence to a-defiling set otdiw:b-red. cli
cus-riders, and raise their hands:lb. holy horror it.
chastened dramatic representation gotten up by ladie
and gentlemen.
We have long observed that the best people of eve
ry community are always the furthest from that kin
of morbid puritanical whining, which " strains a gna
and swallows a camel."
And so long as the Edgefield Lyceum directs its ei
hibitions with the taste and propriety which have thu
far charneterized them. we feel assured they will 1v
patronized as they merit by the sensible and good.
THE SOUTHERN QUATERTY.
The November number of this valuable publ;ca
tion is replete with striking articles upon subjects <
high interest. The paper. typography &c., are als
of the best. And the whole face of thp issue is quit
enough to place the Southern Quaterly in a prominer
rosition among the Reviews, either of our own coun
try or of England. And yet, unless the patrioti
pride of our people isarnused *to do something speedi
ly for its maintenance, it must soon cease to exisi
The publishers declare, that unless subscribers for
ward their subscription arrears at once, the Reviem
falls to the ground.
We earnestly and respectfully ask, are there suc
subscribers within the scope of our circulation ? If so
we beg them to consider that honesty, leaving patri
otlam out of the question, calls upon them to forwar
their aid t6 this sinking cause immediately. It is lael
of thought about the matter, that usually makes me
dilatory in the3e things. But here is an extreme case
Call up your better sense of propriety now, and do
the thing that is right without another thodght of pro

FRUITLAND NURSERY.
Ma. REDMoND's catalogue is before us, telling how
he is now prepared to accommodate the two States
with peach, apple, pear, plum, nectarine,: and cherry
trees; with Catawba, Isabella, Devereur, Blaci
Hamburg, Scuppernong, Champagne, and Syriar
grape roots; with hedge plants, evergreens, climbers
roses of every kind, and many other plants. Ma. R's
Nursery is 21 miles from Augusta, and is admitted t<
be one of the best ani surest -of its kind. And now
is the very time to call on him.

"BARNUM" ON THE FAIR.
A writer, over the signature of" BARNuM," desires
a place in our columns for certain comic comments
upun the late State Fair. While giving his article
room, we distinctly differ with him in his tone of
irony and ridicule. Did we not know the writer, we
should unhesitatingly set down his remarks to the
score of some supposed slight or personal pique. His
serio-ludicro criticism is evidently intended as a slur
upon the whple Fair; and in this we think him wrong,
If, besides.this, he strikes in mask, at a gentleman
chiefly instrumentul in arranging the plan and dispo
sition of the premiums, we still more emphatically
disclaim all sympathy with his comments. That gen
tleman we take to be the secretary of the Association.
He labored as few men would havs done for the
success of the State Fair. His enthusiasm and energy
were remarIled by all cognisant of the business arrange.
ments of the exhibition. Reduced toa bed ofaicknees
by his untiring exertions, he yet arose, in spite of
prostration and weakness, to assist in conducting the
Fair. And now to be mocked at in reurard to the re
sult of his labors, must indeed lead him to think itsa
thankless thing to toil in the public behalf.
" BARaNUM's" use of initials &c., renders itmsuflicieDt
ly plain that he means some sort of imputation upon
the good scons if not the integrity of gentlemen con
nected with the Fair. With this, however, we have
nothing to do. hut upon the point whic a '
5 ., we
would suggest one or t wo thoughts. Does not " BAa
NUM" know that it requires variety to make an inter
esting exhibition of the kind in questioni Doesl he
not know -that, to secure this, prizes must he oflfer
in all departments ? Does he not further comprehenc
that some small things should be encouraged equall
with big things? that, for instance, an improvec
potato. or turnip may be as beneficial (especially ti
the poor) as an improved stock of race-horses or evei
as that wonderful species of cattle which claims ti
htave originated in illustrious Devonshire ? Can hi
gallantry permit him to refuse the ladies, with thei
neat handiwork of every kind, an equal chance a
premiums with their roughter help-matest Does h
see no good to arise from encouraging a progressiv
fruit-culture upon our beautiful hills, and about ou
beloved homesteads ?--But we care not tn cnntinu
our suggestions. Let " BARNaSI" say what Its ma
against t'ie Fair, it was, certainly as far as the at
rangements went, a success. rTat one person took
handsome number of premiums, is no argument agains
having offered those premiums. They were for a Ion
time advertised before the public ; and all who desireL
could have htad a fair showing. Perhaps many did htavi
if not, it was their own fault. That thte things to h
shown were in somec departments comparatively sina
and somewhat commton, only opened thte door wide
for all, richt and poor, male and female, to take
chtance at the silver.-Blut wec dism isa the subjet

We think the Executive Committee of the Stat
Association have done thteir duty faithfully and wel
And the Fair, too, would have becen all that thse tol
sanguine could have expected, had the people of or

to get $20 for oustantinople eat, but they would t
not stand that nP we coul fix it; so. we went
to work the bestiald without her; first we told ,
- our cousin Marya Ball Bottom Ruebottom, to f
fix up d'ome littlions that no body else would I
think of, so thkould be no competition. It
made no differedhether it was agricultural or
not ; what's a te&obody sticks to a text now
a-days-look at er. So she fixes some ketch

ples which our gi great and very great grand
mothers used to dwell as any body ; but we got
a V a piece for alle little notions and you know
they cost nothingwe could lose nothing by the
operation ; we alutakes care of No. one. Well,
we told uncle Sura to get up his Hong Kongs,
Bremens and his .y'speekled Bantams, so valu

- they are invalualb a plantation about the time
peas are coming ulhe dear little creatures-they
ought to have just same as Capt. Frank Hamp
ton's fine Durhamw or Dr. Herndon's beautiful
Devon. Next of ortance'to the Fan Tails, was
our Osage Orange 4 that we produced by bud
ding, grafting and ising with various other varie
ties for the purposefencing; for we think in the
course of a hundreears we shall need something
I of the kind ; but imatter, we got $20 for them.
Our Tom brought at full of Walnuts, but they
would not give him ed cent, told him they growed
wild; but we got $a piece for our apple switches,
and ten for a rose; at will be fine for the planters
to stick in Sambo's - when hoeing cotton. I had
like to have forgot otittle grand-daughter's boquet,
for which we got a " that was decidedly agrieulhu

Now, friend Sitns, we had a delightful timcs

loaded about 300 dars worth of plate and drove
off to our little villr Persia. I sat in front with
one foot on each shl every now and then giving a
pull at my beard; hink it grew an inch in about
two hours. Uncle Simnatria and cousin Mary Maria
Ball Bottom - Ruebiom, sat behind me; the old
fellow poking the Tile with his walking stick.
May-be we did'nt eate a sensation, for certainl
there never was suci'on arrival of plate in our vil

To the Officers we se all praise ; the Preside:
was above reproach, his lady set a good example

were very efficient and discharged their very dif

George Hall over the horses had a very arduo

OBITUARY,
DIED, of Billions Cqngeaive fever at the rc
dence of Mr. W. B. David on the 22d. Octob
last, in the 24th year of his uge, Mr. JAMES PEr'
gaus CoRah.
The decensed in early lifewns remarkable for 1
- steady and upright deportntent. H~e joinedt
r Baptist Church of Christ; buwbankslided in life.
e In December 1855 lhe lost his wife and twvo I
t fant children and was sorely nlieted in body. I
S had regained his health, antithe hopes of this 1
were brightening, whea thelast 8 days of painl
suffering brought hinm to the p-ave.
ti Every care and attention hr the kind family a~
k attending physician was give to restore him
*health, but death htad come, aid at the last he ta
isensible of his approach, andshaowed plainly to
e present, that he had not forgitteni his " first love
He desired that prayer dhog~d 14 offered for I
restoration to the love and fa'our of God, "as
" days that were gone ;" Whle he repeatedly e
gaged in a most penitential ant moat fervent-pray
1to That God who loves to lharima answer prayer
s5 Thus early passed away thi young man, leavi:
a many friends to mourn their osa, among them 1
r, little Son, two Sisters. and a &ar Father, who ll
lost a wife and seven children h the last reiv yea
May God by his word and pirit comfort and i
,greet the bereaved. , D. D.
I DIED, on the 15th of Octobr last, at the re
n deuce of Reuben Cooper, in Ibssel -Co. Ala., h
j DAVID R. MEAIN of this Dtiat, aged 60 yet
1 ..z no a anodas.J .M
Died, in this District on the th inst after apro
tcted illness, Mrs. TREcy DEEN, wire of Capt.
ryan Deen. I
This painful visitation of Divine providence has
st a mantle of gloom over the whole connection, fo!
ad friends, and especially over the family of which tri(
e was so loved a member ; and while we console 41
ith the bereaved husband and affectionate children tel
'the deceased, we can but say, " Father thy will de
adone" but, da
"1hy do we mourn departed friends,
Or shrink at death's alarms, ph
Ti. but the voice that Jesus sends in
To call them to his arms " sol
Early in life Mrs. DEE4 united herself with the erl
laptist Church ; and for a half century has adorned ar
lie profession she made by a well ordered life and
lodly conversation. ev
Possessing universal kindness of heart, accompa
ied with a mild and amiable disposition, she made
Dr her-self a large circle of friends, and died as she
1d lived, loved and esteemed by all. ei
A firm -reliance on the Saviour gave her an un
vavering hope of a blessed immortality beyond the _
trave. Her funeral discourse was delivered by the
Rev. Jno. Trapp, to an unusually large congrega
ion, from 1 Corinthians, 15th chapter, 25 & 26
rerses.
She was ripe for the harvest, being in the seven
eth year of her age.
DIED, in October, at their residence in Jackson
ville, Fla., Rev. Wit. B. VILLIn, and CATARINE
his wife, within a few days of each other, the for- C
mer aged eighty four, and the-latter seventy seveb
years. They lived happily in the married state, e
sixty two years. and were remarkable for their long r
life of unwavering piety, having joined the church t
in the year eighteen hundred and two. " Blessed
are they that do his commandment, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city."

Look at This!
I never saw the man or woman yet who did not
like to hear a piece of good news, especially when
.that news nearly affected their interests. Listen
now to what I say: A rumor is afloat in the city of
Augusta that the incoming Prsident of the United
States means to promote a few South Carolinians
and Georgians to places of high honor and advan
tage. Now, I mean to do more for the whole peo
ple of these two States than any President of then
all. I mean to shoe them better and cheaper thai
it they woere ever shod befjore.
