UNrrED' TATEs sExN.-ThOKeowee .Uou
rier in speaking of the vacancy in the Senate
Co. Orr, our immediate Representative in
Congress, is our-irst choice. He has the abili
ty, and is a practical, sagacious man, thoroughly
imbued with the State rights doctrines of the
Palmettoes, and full of wisdom and patriotic
State pride. The State would- honor herself in
honorng him."
We have not heard whether Col. Orr's friends
intend urging his claims for the Senate or not.
If he is-brought before the Legislature he will
make a very strong run. There isno man in the
State who commands more influence beyond the
limits of our State than he.. .. e believe Col.
Orr can be of more service to his State and the
country at large izLthe next 'Congress f which
he will be Speaker, than in the Senate. We
hope, therefore, that his friends will waive his
claim for the present and give their support to
one of the other prominent men not already in
the Federal sefvice of the State.-Winnsboro'
-Register.
Snious RENCoUTER.-A rather serious diffi
culty occurred at this place on Wednesday last,
between Wm. C. Caston and W. McK. Mittag.
A bitter hostility had been engendered between
the parties, arising from certain circumstances
that had oceurred a few hours, or perhaps a day,
previous to their .coming in contact with each
other. They met near the Court House steps,
whether designedly or accidentally we cannot
say, Mr. C. armed with a revolving pistol and
the other with a large knife. When within a few
of each other, the former called upon the
fier to defend himself, and, drawing his we&
pon, fired. The first shot missed its aim, but a
second took effect in Mittig's' cheek, entering
just below the temple and lodging within. He
stag ered of a few steps and fell, bleeding .pro
fusey from the wound. It was not fatal, how
ever, as was at first apprehended, and he is now
considered free from danger.-Lancaster Ledger
PRAswowr.--The Cheraw Gazette says,
"John Wilkes, -Es-, who was fortunate eno h
last season to make corn to spare, has constay
refused to take'more than $1 per bushel for his
corn, while it was selling at. $1.25 to $1.50.all
around him. Nor would he sell to men of
means, but held his corn for his poor and needy
neig
Wehave some few John Wilkes's in Chester,
but it must be admitted that they are few and far
between. Such men deserve to be noted and
remembered.-Chareston Standard.
WRY EREFUsED.-Major McCulloch's declina
tion of the Utah governorship would seem to
have.been founded on the most subsiantial rea
sons,'ustifying him in persistently refusing to
take e place, though twice strenuously urge by
the President to undertake it. After statingto
Mr. Buchanan various reasons for his refusal
to accept the office-to none of which the Presi
dent, it is said, would listen-the Major fired his
reserve-informing the bachelor Executive that
he could'ut go because he. was intending to get
married soon-a duty the discharge of which he
had neglected for forty years or more, until his
day of grace had nearly expired. He at-once ae
knowl ged his invincibility, and bowed his ae
quiescence.
BriGHAm's REIGN DRuwIXG TO A CiosE.-Gen.
Scott has been called to Washington by the Pres
ident to perfect arrangements for the despatch
of troops to Utah. It is the design of the admin
istration, it is said, to send out the new Territo
rial officers with the militry force, thus ensuring
their safety from attack while on the journey.
The final orders for the guidance of the conmman
der of the troops are in preparation. No attempt
will be made to interfere with the religious or
social institutions of the Mormons, but the
United States laws will be rigidly enforced.
Already the troops detached for Utah are in mo
tion. Three companies on this service passed
over the New York- and Erie Railroad on Mon
day.
ENTERPRISE IN KAN.5AS.-We notice by the
Leavenworth Herald, that S. Manchester & Co.
have contracted to .erect a large hotel in that,
town to cost $10,000, to be finished in Novem
beg next. The same firm have contracted to
bui1a for $70,000 a bridge over the Kansas river
at Tecumseh, by which the distatnce to Santa Fe
is lessened by about seventy-five miles, a very
important item to travelers. The bridge will be
six hundred feet in length.
STUDENT vs. PRawDNT~.-We have received
and read the "Report of a Committee in
behalf of. the Junior Class, and Students of the
South Carolina College," and are convinced that
the students in this, as in many other cases in
the history of the College, have suffered because
-they were so peculiarly unfortunate as to be
young me. The report would do credit to
older heads, both in regard to its "Saxon sim
plicity" and precision, and to the singleness with
which it marches to the accomplishment of its
purpose. We are compelled, in spite of the
position of those who will be against us in this
matter, to say that we believe the students are
right, and that they have been unfairly dealt
with. This report embodies the whole difficulty
between the President and themselves, and in
it, while they lay serious imputations against
him, they exonerate all the Professors from act
inn in the least improperly.
9fhe students may have misrepresented the
nature of the difficulty but the Board of Trus
tees should have regarded them as sincere in
their action, whatever it may have been, and
determined their action accordingly. The prin
ciple which governs a majority of the Board is
one, from the display of which the College has
ever suffered, and one from which we humbly
conceive it can never derive any-good. They
regard students as boys who are sent to college
to learn and not to rebel, and who, whether a
Professor be a blackguard or not, must attend
his recitations, and receive his instructions. We
contend that they are men who can easily per
ceive when one who should go right goes wrong,
and that it is their bounden duty to act upon
the perception of that wrong, even though the
result be their own expulsion, and the disorgani
zation of the College.-Newberry Mirror.
Probably the greatest leap. on record was
made at the Helena Shot-tower, Wis., some time
ago. A horse, 12 years old, jumped from the
banik over a perpendicular precipice of one hun
dred and eight feet into the river below, and
came out safe and sound, atner swimming nearly
halft a oile to a suitable landing place. The
weater at the point where the leap was made was
from twenty to twenty-five feet deep.

To the home where she has flown.
DimD, at-the residence -f. his sister, Mrs. DELI
wt Pan.urs, on the 16th Tune, of Dropsy, Mr.
WILLIAM HAMILTON, in the 75th year of his
age.
Mns. MARY. PERRY died at her birth place,
the Ridge, on the 19th March 1857, in the 88th
year of her age, being born August 12, 1769.
There are some circumstances of her life'which
may well give her distinction. She was the daugh
ter of Michael Watson, a partizan Captoln of the
Revolution, and distinguished by two qualities:
intrepid coui-age and self reliance. And this lady
also can say what few can, she saw George Wash
ington on his way from Augusta to the seat of
Government. He was attended at- the time by
Generals Butler and Hampton-one tfie Sheriff of
Ninety-Six and the other of Camden. Upon as
certaining that she was the daughter of Michael
Watson, who was killed in the affair at Dean's
Swamp, he took her upon.lsuap. and, ordered his
confidential servant John, to hand hiM his purse,
from.which he gaye: her a guinea, saying she had
been quite a little soldier. When she heard that
her father had been wounded in the skirmish at
Dean's Swamp, she and her, mother, both riding
on one horse, hastened to the scene. of the catas
trophe. When they arrived at the place they
found Oapt. W.ktson in a small house, with a few
of his soldiers, tleut.'Butler being left in com
mand. They were not only. in great danger, but
without f6od.' Expediehey and 'necessity had
driven them to this position. But they did not
resort to it utitil they -had perforhed all the ob
ligations of soldierly. honor. Vardell who was
killed in the fight made an appeal to his com
rades not to allow him to fall in the hands of his
enemies, and a time was taken, what may be re
garded as a military pause, to bury him under a
clay root. The party being reduced by desertion
to a small number took refuge in a very small
house, concealing as far they could their perilous
condition. Upon entering the house a woman
happened to be there, who had just parted with a
child only three weeks old. Necessity and self
preservation required the commanding officer to
detain her for fear she would give such informa
tion as would disclose the weak situation of the
party. Under these circumstances a messenger
was despatched to Orangeburg, and with prompt
ness and gallantry, Capt. Kumpt, subsequently
Gen. Kumpt, responded to the call. And moving
with marked expedition, (the horses in a gallop,)
he reached this house of distress. The little party
had been suffering two days without food, and
Watson was supposed to be dying. They placed
him upon a litter, and carried him to Orangeburg
where he died and was buried. The subject of
this notice, his daughter Mary, entertained for his
meqpory a pious veneration. She imparted in her
conversation a warm enthusiasm inspired by the
qualities of a gallant father and true patriot. Da
ring the progress of the War she, on several oc
casions, gave evidence of that high spirit and in
dependence for which she was always conspicuous.
In the early part of the War her father was taken
prisoner by the British, near Ninety-Six, and was
carried in chains to the main Army. On their
way they stopped at his house, on the Ridge, and
his wife, Mrs. Watson, seeing him in irons with his
wrists chafed by the hiand-cuffs, gave vent to'her
feelings in a flood of tears, and besought the
commanding Officer to take off the irons.. Upon
his refusing, the subject of this notice stepped out,
saying " dont cry, mother-we shall -yet have our
day." And got some ointment and dressed her
father's wrists. Tihe British Officer was struck
with hcr spirit, and said to his companions in
~rns, " She is a gallant little rebel."
In-conclusion, she had some of the hereditary
qalities of hler father, self reliance and inde
pendence of opinion.
By industry, frugality and just economy she
acquired 'a handsome estate, and .set an honorable
example.

BITE OF A RATTLESNAKE CURED IN FIVE MINUTES,
Mzssas. PERaY DAvIs & SoN-U ENTS:-A mer
chant of Linnoens, in this State, informs me that re
ently one of his sons was severely bitten on the leg
by a rattlesnake, from the effects which he sufferred
most dreadfully. The family chancing to have some
of Perry Davis' Pain Killer in the house immediately
commenced bathing the bitten place, without knowing
whether it would or not afford the least relief, but sur
prising as it may seem, the poison was soon observed
to exude from the wound, and in five or ten minutes
the young man fell fast asleep, entirely free from pain,
or any effect from the bite, except the fleslx wound,
which healed very, soon. By giving publicity to this
fact in your pamp~hlet designed for southern and wes
tera distribution, and such countries as poisonous
reptiles more or loss abound in, it might serve the cause
of humanity, and be the means of supplying an arti
le, the want of which has long been experienced.,
