CEaLEao, October 1st, IS5. As an-agreeable relief to the monotony of tLe life we are now leading In the City, our star-gazers h:vc been treated on every evenug .ot this week, with a magnileent view of the eo.met. which attains its grent eat brillianry botweet the 1.w.urs .,r even and eight o',look. A remarkably prolonged series of bright, clear, cold nights enabl.es n to er.joey this rare exhilii tion to groat advantage. Last Moiday's Repoort announced 81 deaths from Yellow Fever for the veek ending on the 25th ult., making the total mortality since the commencement 464. Up to 30th September 1854, It had reached 4i7. As usual, after the epidemic has exhausted its ravn ges among our transient and foreign population, it is now entering the abodes of our bet citizens, and me loecting as its victim,. the most shining narks. Among the lamented denol of the week just psedl, you will observe in our papers tie names of Rev. Reuben Post, the venerable Pastor of the Circular (Congregational) Church,-Rev. Henry 1f. Denisnon, the gifted Rector of St. Peter's,-James L. Hatch, one of the Associate 'Editors of the Conorier, and others occupying posi. tions of public usefulness, which identified them with the local interests of our city. The two congrega tions which have been thus sorely bereaved, have the deep and boartfelt sympaitlhy of our entire communi ty. St. Peter's espucially had wearcely recovered from the severe affliction with which it was visited in 1856. in'the death of the amiable Pastor (Rev. Mr. Shank liun,) who in his brief career, had won the affection and esteem of all within the circle of his influence, and this scattered flock had just begun to realize that the providence of God had raised up for them an able and zealous successor, who like him was ready to brave all perils for the welfare or his people. These devoted ambassadors of the cross, have fallen like true soldiers with their armour on, and their names will be en shrined among the g, o l .n I the great-tho brave and the faithful, in the catalogue of martyrs. in the cause of Truth. Dr. Post had been for twenty-one years Pastor of the Circular Church, and was greatly be loved not only by his own congregation, but among the many benevolent and useful organizations to which he devoted his zealous labors. Mr. Denison wasa native of Pennsylvania. 11 tirstuministrations at the South were at Greenville and 1tondleton, in this State for a short time, and he afterwur.ls rentoved to Louisville, Kontucky, from which place, he cams to this City during the last year, at the invitation of the congregation of St. Peter'#. He delivered last winter a series of Lectures to -business men, which were elaborately reported in the newspapers and published by general request in book form. Mr. Hatch was a native of Portland, Maine; and was educated at Bowdoin College.: He came to Charleston in tie win -ter of 1855, and was first associated in the editori .l . corps of the "Standard" and afterwards of the Coarier," in the exacting duties of which he labored with much zeal and fidelity. His loss to the " Cou rier" is the more deeply felt, inasmuch as the im portant post which he occupied has been vacated by death for the third time since the decease of Col. King. Mr. H. was almost 25 years of age. Our city has also sustained a great loss in the death of Mr. James Adger, one of our oldest merchants, at the advanced age of 83 years. The flags of the ship ping in the Harbor were displayed at half mast on the reception of the intelligence here, and the various social and benevolent institutions of which he was an active member, are publishing appropriate testimoni als of the esteem and reverence in which his memory and services are held by them. Our public-sciool resumes its exercises on Monday next. The new building for the Normal School in St. Philip's street is progressing rapidly, and will soon be ready for occupation. The Commissioners have adop ted Mr. Carroll's Catechism of United States History -as a.ext Book in all the schools under~their control. The October Elections are near at hand. On the second Monday and Tuesday, we ballot for one Sena tor and eighteen Representatives in the State Legisla ture. Messrs. Henry D. Lesesue and M. C. Mordecai, (the present incumbent) are announced candidates for the Senatorship. New tickets are out every day with 'fresh aspirants for the one-eighteenth share of repre sentation in the Lower House. These tickets profess 'to include all interests, but the mechanics and com muercial men complain that they are not allowed a . suffiiently prominent place in the picture, and accuse the lawyers of appropriating all the honor! to them selves. Out of the multitude of nominations, it will not be diffeult to find eighteen as clever fellows as we .- ussally send to represent us at Columbia, for to be candid with you, we are not always as particular in this little matter as we might be. lint the Legislature does not aspire to be a Literary Club, and if our Dele gates are not all gradutos of College, there are many active, effeient, hard-working members among theum, who could not well be spared from the Councils ol the State, and who, while they do very little talking. are industriously alive to the interests of their con stituents. Such men, without being orators and schol ars, make useful legislators and should be sustained. , A gratifying feature of the present- contest is pre seated in the stand which is about to be taken in some quarters against the degrading practices and corrup tions incident to public elections,-opposition to thi infamous system being one of the watchwords adopted on the. fmtpe of. several of the published tickets. In the world of Fashion and Romance, there is emphatically nothing doing. Scandal-mongers are at a loss for employment, and folks keep within doors at night so cautiously that thero are no social tea drinkings and sewing-circles, for the mnanufatcture of ,materials for gossip. Indeed, in such an already poisoned atm'osphere as this, the fastest running tongue could do very little harm. The only hit of romance which I have for you at present, is on a small scale, and one of those oft repeated illustrations of the common place theory about " the course of true love,' a. *The parties are not known to me person ally, and.Ihave no rigst to make you my confidant, as to names and localities, if they were. The unfor tuaate swain was a youthful student of some seven teen summers-the afflicted fair one, a gontle schonll miss of fourteen winters. They met, probably at -dancing school-played Polka tegether-walked a few times on the Battery at moonlight-became en amored-pledged their hearts and fortunes-and refeuved the decision of the important question to Papa and Mama-who promptly gave their votes in the negative. Elopement, the only alternative was proposed-projected and nipped in the bud, by the alas ! too vigilant guardians of the young folks. The yo'ng gentleman being thwarted in his arraugemente for securing a travelling companion, edncluded to take a-journey to parts unknown by himself, leaving Papa - to pay his small debts about town. Mademoiselle in her despair-, tried to aecomplish a descent from a two story window, but was again interrupted, by the in terposition of parental authority, taken captive and sent oli to bed early in the evening. Thus ends the chapter of accidents. so far as Madame Rumor has revealed the particulars, and it Is well it was no worse, as these things sometimes terminate in Coroner's In quests, where the parties are so far gone in love-sick - ness as to hang or drown themselves, swallow landa num or cut some gymnastic feat, by which to secure oblivion for the past. An abrupt transition it certainly is, but I must - hasten en to business matters! Cotton has been in brisk demand, 7000 bales sold at prices ranging from 95 @ 121.

The amosnt 'if lstsines's on hand is smaller than usual. The attenilanre on Mon. lay last was quite respectable. All the talk was about the electious. We note the presence of Solicitor Owiss, looking unusually fresh, and in excellent trim for the ditties of the circuit. rt evidently comes natural to hia to be a Solicitor. Judge Mao is also looking remark ably well aud has commenced the session with vigor and earuestness. The members or our own bar are at their posts, and in good spirits despito the comparative lighinew.s of their green bags. The Term will doubtless be anjasy and a pleasant one. There is no capital case. OUR ADVERTIRING LOLUMN.S. Public attention is invited to the long list of attrac tive advertisements which appear upon our adverti sing columns at this time. It is impossible to particu larize amidst such a crowd of kind custaters. Our paper is read by fifteen hundred of the peoplo of ikigefield, besides outsiders. To all of these we re spectfully say, turn and examine these various adver. tisements for yourselves. It is to your interest to do so, and we hold that we subserve an end of real utili. ty in presenting the (opportunity to all our readers to see the advantages in trade which lie within their reach. See then and dxataine, first, our own village advertisements; next, those of Hamburg; and last but not least, the brilliant array which the energetic merchants of Augusta exhibit in almost every depart mont of trade. We ot all theso things forth promi. nently and conspicuously before our renders, and trust that they will reap benefits therefrom. There cannot be a duubt of this, if they will fairly test the business-men who here solicit a share of their patron. age. DEATH OF AN EDITOR. It is with deep regret that we observe in the Charles ton paperF, the melancholy announcement of the death of Mr. J. L. IArca, recently eonnected with the Charleston Cow ice, and previously with the Standalrd, The deceased was a valu.-d member of the fraternity much prized by those who know him best, and pos. sesscd of the regard of his cotemporaries generally, le has fallen "in the midst of life," before yet hi abilities had been tested to the full. Green be the turf above him, and blest be his spirit! JUDGE O'NEALL. See the handsome nomination of this venerable Judge for the post of United States Senator. The compliment is both tiely"*and just. There can be ov doubt that Judge O'NSALL would add new lustre to his already distinguished name, by a term of ser. vice in the United States Senate; nor is it loss cer. tain that he would sustain the fame and honor of his State. Few men have as much of the old Roman in their composition as JOHN BLTON O'NALL. RELIGIOUS. A series of very interesting meetings has been hell during the past two weeks in the Baptist Church al this place, under the administration ef Mr. L. R. GWALTrsav,assisted by thattrue man and zealous chris. tian Dr. R. G. Mats. We can but think that the seed of much good has been sown, which will yet spring uj and bring forth fruit in due season. Mr. GwALvxLI is a preacher of high value and should be prized ae. .cordingly. RELIEF FUND. We have received from citizens of Edgefield forty three (43) dollars which shall be forwarded at once te the Howard Association of Charleston. The lists are still open for subscriptions, antd may be found at this olllica, or in the hands of Mr. Sras WVumrn at the Planter's Hotel. CARICATURE EXTRAORDINARY. We have just seen a broad caricature of gome ol the public men of South Carolina, emanatiisg (ine think) from the proud city of Columbia. Undies whose auspices it has been gotten up, the public is not informed. We at first supposed that it might have had its origin in certain political differences now somewhat conspicuous in the State; but upon second thought we cannot retain that opinion. Surely no man aspiring to political position amongst us, would countenance a trick borrowed from the expe rience of vulgar New York. It is the frst time, pro bably, that cuch an instrumentality has been employ ed in South Carolina polities, and we trust it will be the last. "DE GUSTIBUS NIL DISPUTANDUM."' Although acknowledging the force of this addage, one cannot help being occasionally mortified at the lack of good taste exhibited by certain writers who assume to pass sentence upon the principles of their fellow-citizens from their own imaginary stand-point of superior patriotism. As a specimen of this style ot assumption, we quote the following passage from a nomination of Col. MAXcY Gaxco which has recently appieared in the Newberry Conjerecu~tt Says the writer: With a sentiel like Colonel Gregg, whom the bribses of the enemy cannot purchase, nor the threats intimidato, our State will he safe in the approaching crisis, and we trust, to, preserre her purity evenm amidst the treachery of her sons. FINE TURNIPS. Mr. Joux L. Annisox presents the finest turnips by far we have seen this season. They were grown upon land forty years old, and without manure for the present year. His patch was sowed about the 20th of July last. THE FEVER ABATING. Through the kindness of Father BIILtWINGHAMWweJ are permitted to make the following extract fromnn letter received by him from a gentleman iu Charles ton, datd the 30th Sept. We are rejaiced to learn that the epidemic is abating. "lIam happy to be able to inform you that the sickness (alluding to the Yellow Fever) lhas greatly abated during this past week, there being but very few new cases, and most of them have been of. native children. We hope soon for the disappearance of the Fever entirely." AN EXCELLENT WORK. We have received, and carefully examined, a new book by B.1it. CAanoLL of Charleston, entitled "A Catechisma of Undted Sttes HIitor~y." It aiffrds u pleasure to give~an opinion entirely favorable to itsa merits. Brief, accurate, and impartial In Its state ment of facts, it supplies a deficioney in the sehool room which has long been felt, but not before so com pletely remedied. It is not alone to be prized as a valuable accession to the school curriculum. It is likewise a work of general utility. Even to one who may he accomplished in tho. knowledge of American history, it is valuable as a means of vividly recalling that knowledge. Not only to the teacher, but also to the lawyer, to the statesman, to thes editor, to the planter, to the mechanic, in fact to every man who feels prompted to inform himself upon the sub'ject of his country's growth end progress, it Is calculated to become a moat useful help. We hesitate not to commend Mr. CAnnott's work to the public, and particularly to the educational de partment of that public. 'Its author here presents himself in a light of real usefulness, which merits both the applause of his fellow citizens and a liberal remuneration at their hands. Let every man procure a copy of the "Catechism of United States History;" and let it become a text-book in all our schouls. We are gratified to learn, by the Charleston XJier cuary, that the Commissioners of the Free Schools for those Parishes have passed the following resolution: 1(esolced, That the Catechism of United States History, psrepared by B. B. Carr-oll, Esq., be adopted as a text book in all the schools under the control of the Commisuioners of Public Schools for the Parishes of St. Philip's and St. Michael's. We hope to hear of similar resolutions in every part of~our State. Euaropeana Letter. See the admirable letter of "J. T. B." on our first page; alao the eomplimeatary nomilnation of Judge O'NwAr for Ube racani Sastership. TE SLAVE-TRtADE AGITATION. It is-matter of regret, to observe the marked desire mnuifesteud of late by certain papers and politicians in South Carolina, to bring before the country the subject of the ret ival of the African Slave Trado. Without entering into the lung discussion for and against the p~robabilities of henefit to Southern inter ests by a renewal of this trade, there are several pro codent considerations well calculated to "give us pause" in the matter of its present ngitation. 1. It has been well said, that it Is an impracticable issue while the Union of theto States shall continue to exist. The vote of Congress upon the well-known resolution of Col. O1a, has given a ynielue to its dis eussion in the Federal Legislature, from which none may reasonably expect that it can soon be rescusita ted. The decree of the Areopagus has boon pro nounced, and with such remarkable unanimity as to leave small hope of its ever being reversed. The South, the North, the East, and the West, thereby agreed to banish the agitation from the Halls of Con grems,-if not forever, yet with such singular readi ness and decision for the time-being as gave to their action the validity of a most powerful moral proc. dent for the guidance of future Congresses. But In dependent of this unmistakeable demonstration by the representatives of all the States, it needs no sum ming up of the proof to show th.t, not only at the North, but also throughout the South, there is a senti ment of opposition to the revival of the African Slave Trade, which might attach to its attempted agitation in Congress the most disastrousconsequencos. 2. Among these consequences, a dissolution of the Union would not have a place; although it is not Im probable that some of the Slave Trade agitators may hope in their secret hearts that it would. But no! the Union would stand unshaken, if not stronger from any attempt at a revival of the Slave Trade; while the South might become distracted and weakened, and thus lose much of her moral and her political strength in the Cenfederacy. We say the South "amight become" so; for there is only a bare possibil ty that the question would be so far ceuntenanced -amongst us as to grow into a serious matter. Should it however assume the shape and proportions of a living issue, we repeat that its most probable results would be a strengthening of the North and a disa trous weakening of the South, while the Union, whether for good or for evil, would be further from a dissolution than ever. Is not this view equally cal culated to impress all true southerners, whether they be Slave Trade or anti Slave Trade men, conserva tives of a Constitutional Union or dis-unionists per e1 3. But there is another view of thmatter which to our mind exhibits this agitation in the light of extreme rashness, if not of high-handed presumption in the sight of Heaven. The Southern States,-the Rhore States,-are at iresent in a condition of unuxampled prosperity. Their whole past history shows them to have been ever prosperous, ever happy, in spite of the unjust oppression of the government, in spite of the accumulated obloquy of mankind. Even when our McDurrie was painting to Congress the Cifects of the tariff of 1828, when in that high debate his exci ted mind represented the "decay and gloom and des olation" that were about to come over our Southern homes, when he fearfully foresaw that soon there would not be "one rose of the wilderness left on its stalk to tell where the garden had been,"-even then, the South was prospering above all the rest of the earth. She has continued to do so uninterruptedly to this day, and Is now watched and wondered at as the wealthiest and the happiest of lioples. This is so strikingly true that no man will or can gainsay it. Taking it in connexion with the peculiarity of our in stitutions, and with the admitted fact that for a long time the moral sentiment of the world was at enmity with us, it forms at once the most brilliant and the most remarkablechapterof human prosperity. Whence comes it, but that we have always been the specially favored of almighty Providence. Observe the pro gress of our sunny South in the hands of that benign Providence. Possessing at the outset an institution of doubtful civilization, her people have been led on year by year to the gradual improvement of that in stitution. Almost barbaric though it was in its in cipiency, it has been subjected to the influencs of human legislation from time to time, it has been ameliorated by the beam. of gospel truth from gene ration to'genoi'atlon, until lihstands'forthinieois parative perfection, challenging the severest tests of a true philanthropy. Unde*r Heaven's protection and direction, It ha undergone its probation through a long series of years; there have been brought to bear upon its proper development, as well the doubts of its possessors as the anathmemas of its enemies. The trial has waxed so warm at different periods, that its pos sessors have wavered' before the outside pressure of the opposition. But sustained by the Giver of all Good, their aotumal prosperity has enabled them to recover their ground and renew their strength. The effect of this long and bitter strife has been the grad. ual but steady improvement of our system of domes tic slavery until it is just now emerging in full tri umph and taking its place before mankind us a perfected institution. Under its advantages as now perfected, we enjoy a civil organization which is at tracting the adlmiration and envy of the world. Ase before said, we are, as a people, wealthy, proeperous and contented. In this bright noontide of our pro gress it'ise, that the wisdom of man would counsel us to go. back toa the deeds of a past day and attempt a dark experiment fur yet greater prosperity than the full measure which has already been accorded to us. Not satIsfied with havIng been guided by Heaven through the dangers of a century, and with having been placed upon an eminence of good fortune unpar alelled among the nations of men, we must .seek to redouble all this by plunging again into a turbid tide of desperate adventure as doubtful in policy as it is in humanity. The conclusion which forces itself upon us is, that sucheounsels are a mere tempting of Heaven to the endangering of all the good that has heretofore been vosafed to us. Let us rather return thanks for privileges secured, and await In patience the de velpments of Providence as to our future. He has guided us thus far in safety. Let no mortal now seek to grasp the reins of our destiny and drive us on towards a false splendor of his own vain imagining. Let him who would dare to do so, recall the fabulous fate of PIJAETON and beware. "OLD EDGEFIELD." 1Dy some unaccountable accident, somse inexplica ble sin of omission, we have hitherto failed to notice the proceedings "of the far-fanied "Vindictives," of Newberry Town, having a referential (which is very, very different from reverential) bearing upon our selves and "old Edgefield." These proceedings s/hould be herewith publjshod; but there is rather too much of them in proportion to their intrinsical val usability ; And we must therefore consider ourselves absolved from "going the whole baog," upon the con dition of fairly stating the full compass and volume of his 'squeal." The "Vindictives" then, be It known,--the "Via dictives" of Newberry Town have met and deliberated desperately upon the subject of us and " Old Edge. field." We cannot say, with one Julius Ctnsar, that they have cenaied, sidied and vilsd; but it Is entire ly- in eonsonance with veracious history, to state that they have made p mighty effort to do so. And guaoret ljnow, all men, that it was simply because we, in our irreverence for what is great and good, attributed to a man of Newberry,-Newberry the great, Newberry the good,-the merit or demerit, the virtue or vice, the ahrewdness or stupidity, as the case may be deci dud by each individual tribunal of mentality, of in.. continently firing an oratorical blunderbuss, on the occasion of the Holly barbecue, at what he was' pleased, in the elegance of his orthoepy, to designate as the Iteuben Gap Railroad. Our offence bath this extent, no more ; and thereupon the "Vindietives," the political Inquisitors of Newberry Townr-hold an awful meeting of their Ye/ame gerichtf, and undertake not only to give ourself ,"particular jesse," but go further and throw the weight of their sovrcign ridi cule upon "Old Edigefield." Knowing that we tread upon dangerous ground, feeling that our neck-editorial is in danger when med. ling with so terrible a conlave,-andl being convinced that by opposing their juridieal bulls we but consign ourself to annihilaition,-we dare not, wgitur, venture to abnegate any of their exquisitely-worded charges against ourself. But when it comes to slurring " Old Edgoelold," our dander is up and we will say sur say, cme bolts, and baus, and thumb-screws, andI all the ...t or tae " rindetlro" aouneles ofttrei,. Mow came "ol Edgefl4ao old $igefielu" is the sneering question pro unded by these torrific "yindictives" of Neyber iown.

Encour aging this malicious splitln the'private commuuings of'their order, it has doubtless: gone on increasing in virulenc until each heat mng its membership has a green-eyed scorpion (pi ps) continually coiled around its pulsations, r oW quirm and make the " angry passons rise" recital, every occur rence, every expression, i ih calls to miind by con- 0 trast the inferiority of slves and their little one- 4 horse town. Thus much s t .has been necessawy to t say, towards showing w; thY arv that sneer-at " Old Edgefield," and why it are that they do so. Now, to r the brief duty of settinvforth the grounds upon t which Edgefield, by the eimon coneent .f all the , world and the rest of sman ind-(xcept tht.ee bloated t "Vindictives" of Newbersj) 4-enjoys the respectable 4 position among commudits .expressed in the envied style and title of 4 OldjEdjinold." Edgefleld then,--ye Viniiives, hear! is "old" in t the high character of her population. Before yet f the Dutch had begun'to 4evilope the name of New berry, Edgufield was a coibunity known and esteem ed for the spirit of hier sosnd the loveliness of her J daughters. The eleganthbospitalities of life were I cultivated and perfected appag her children, when I yet a Newberrian would ~sae run away affrighted i from a parlor assemblage T'ladies and gentlemen, deeming that he had stutibled upon beings of super. natural endowments. Forty years ago, the spirit of the Cavaliers had infused I's generous tone among her people, and chivalry, gallantry, and a high devotion to honor, were to be foutjijprevailing throughout her borders. Along with these, came social excellencies which are yet remembored-y many old South Caro linians, and which gaveour' District a prominence that Newberry will striV41if vain to discover in her dim and undistinguisher annals. Edgefield is also ".old~'fiher influence as a large 'nd a weighty District o0' th Carolina. Examine her statistics, and you iw Aind that she has paid more taxes into the Stati ry, exhibited a larger amount of property, and aSted a stronger number of voters than all of her. ater Districts, with the ex 't' cop tion of only two or thme,.-and none have excelled her, exceupt the Charlesto District, in numbers, ter ritory, and wealth, combied. She is not only so of 'late years, but was so in ihe olden days of the State, 1 -and her power and infienjce have ever beef ack- ] nowledged accordingly from the sea-board to the mountains. Again, Edgefiold is "olil" in the-services she has rendered to the common'wealth of which she is an I honored mnember. If. we;go- back to the days of the I Revolution, she had her Bumasne, her 3axxoxDs, I her WATSONS, and otheis, whose strong arms and 1 bold hearts were a terror to the British and tories. It was Edgefield that first saw, iiilater years, the com ing greatness of a CILUGno, and cherished him by her'support and applause> It was Edgefield that took to her bosom and fostered-into maturity the eloquence and lofty patriotism of a cDUFiEv, cotemporaneous with whom were many other names that have adorned the history of Sou~th Carolina. As she begun, so has Edgefield continued to contribute of her strength and virtue to the councils of the State and of the Union. In the field she has also.,teadily sustained her an eient reputation. In theilate war, as in the Revolu tion, her part was borne withalacrity -and spirit. In 'the Seminole war, her two'companies were among the best in that service.e In the Mexican war, the Ninety Six huys, under theiri, '. ut officers, ever held a proud place in- the p1b And -was 'net the Hfere who fell at the head of his Palmetto Regiment on the field of Chiurubuseo, a inn of Edgefield?-. But we forbear to pile higher the illustration of how " Old Edgefield. came to be Old Edgefield." We would not kill the "Vlidistives" outright. We would not " blest them with excess of light." Enough has been written, to show them how "young" they are, how unfitted to sneer at a respectability of which their appreciati'in is necessarily so limilted. Enough has been written, to teach them, that it is not for Newberry to~ turn up her nose at brave OLD " THE COLLETON & DEAUFORT SUN." We have received the first numbers of this pap'er, and gladly place it upon our exchange list. It is pub lished at Waiterboro in this State and edited by Mr. A. M. Sr-o-rs, at' two dollars per annum. ---- -. - -- RUSSELL'S MAGAZINE. The October numbler of RessT.L:. appears to be decidecdly clever. The newspaper critics say so, and from a glance through its pages we imagine they are right. We could neiertheless wish to sea ltesar... take a "higher and a bolder flight" with the next new-year. We furthermore wish tliat the Editors' Table may be restored to its former type and style. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. ,{ W The Rev. R. W.

Jg EFFECTS OF "OLD MAGLUORY."' Two incidents, showing the power of whiskey upon sat wonderful piece of creation called " man," re uire of our pen a few annotatory scratches. The ret of these will exhibit the influence of "Old Ma tory" (which is the fancy stoubriquet of BDvathestul) i debasing a human being to the brute level; the scond will Illustrate its occasional temporary ereet f making the poor drunkard dream of wealth and ride, even while rolling in the disgrace of a qrunken pree. The incidents are both drawn from life. 1. An individual, whom we will cnll ".a i,,alator," ot very drunk In our village, considerably -less than thousand years ago. Worried and 'wamblecropped,' e brought up for the night on the front steps of the arolina Jotel, having for his only companion, a filly Guat, which appuFains to snid Ilotel in the haracter of a pet. Ambalator and Billy were at first riends, or at least spent the first few hours of their octurnal propinquity in peace. But unluckily for Ltabolaor, during his second drunken snooze he olled off the steps to the ground in a manner which hocked Billy'u sentiments of propriety, and fired his adignation as the sequel will show. Ab ,aalror, in ttempting to rise, happened to remain in the position f " all-fours," longer than the goat thought proper. oncelving dotbtless that this was an infringement of he reserved rights of bruto-dom, Billy gathered his et beneath him and made a plunge at Ambualator's ear exposure, which brought that individuallint-wise o the dirt again. Rising with difficulty he had bare. y regained his all-fours, when (upon his expressing he amiable desire that the goat "would quit a-both ring hims,") Billy forthwith repeated his arguanen mot a posteriore with as good effect as before. And his time Anbulator concluded to lay as he fell, con eting himself with retorting upon Billy Goat in the llowing indignant manner: "Look here, Mr. Goat," -said be, ".totfre (hie!) too blamed (hie !) smart. Led another thing (hie!) Mr. Goat,-I would thank ou (hie! hie!) to stop your d- n (hie!) foolish ess." And so Ambiulator remained on the field of iattle, and Billy U(ot retired to his original position a the hotel piazza. The reader will decide which of he two was the better man, or rather which of them ras the worser brute. NOW FOR INCIDENT NO. 2. &ene.-The grand entry in the Court House, where Donay Toanan had been spending a week of inebria ion. Time, 5 o'clock in the afternoon when iDnny and gotten completely soaked, and was in the condi ion between feeling good and going to sleep. He carries on the following ideal conversation with rentbroeck, the celebrated racer: Donny : I can beat you, sir, any day you name, by he holy Guy! Trnroeck. You think so? Bonny. I do, (with great emphasis.) Tenbrocck. My horsee dont run sir, except you'll nuke a good bet. Donnay. That I'll do, sir. (A aloght pause.) Mr. entooic, I'll doo't,-I'll Let you a million o' money. Teno. You will? Dony. (Slapping the bench with enthusiasm.) I vill. I'll doo't. I'll bet you a million o' money and '11 put it up to-morrow, every cint. Ten. Good. Dony. (cery cagerly) Good. And the poor old fellow seemed as proud and com >lacent as if it was all reality. He repeated pretty nueh the same passage with his imaginary Taxano ;cx two or three times, and then fell asleep, to awake rith the "horrors." Sich are some of the effects of " Old Maglory." For the Advertiser. THE WEATHERL. We arc glad to learn that the weather is highly fa rorable to the crops, but should an accident happen n the shape of violent storms, blight, or seome noxi mus insect, our hopes would be blasted. There Is no esect or blighating accident likely to reach so firmly ttablished an institution as the Lottery of S' Iwan L Co., of Augusta, Georgia. If you mail them $10, $5. or $21, and obtain a ticket, it may ehance to pay rou an enormous profit in thne shape of a prizq. That ;hey are a favorite "'crop" to cultiviate is obvious, Irom the great popularity of their establishment. :88 3|' Late accounts from'Califoria report ait ti asual number of murders, assassinations,.suicides and lathe from casualitics..
