Fine Ralos and Crop Prospects Bright * cuing. In many portions of our County fine rains are gladdening the hearts of the people, and the crops, well worked and free from grass, are growing vigorously, and looking delightfully premising. In ' some sections the cotton is still small, and stands sorry, yet with good season? and a late fall, near an average crop may be expected ; whilst in other portions o? Edgefield*,-* large belt across the entire County,-the cotton crop is indeed unu sually fine, and the husbandmen are. highly elated with their prospect of real izing a large yield and handsome profits in the harvest time. The corn crop gen erally has been considerably "'effected by the long drouth, but seasonable 'and re invigorating showers are now falling thereon, and this crop too will turn out much better than many contemplated a , few weeks ago. Hail Irregularities. During the past week our community has been annoyed no little by the irregu larity of our mails from Pine House Depot, and all owing, as we are told, to the negligence, or indifference, or what ever it may be termed, of the mail Agent on the C. C. <fc A. Railroad, in his persis tency in giving out the mail for Edge field in the evening instead of in the morning, as our mail schedule- requires him to do, thereby delaying our letters and papers from Augusta and the South from one to two days. On to-day (Tues day) we received our mail in due time, and trust that we will continue to do so in future, as we will if the Mail Agent on the C. C. & A. Railroad gives thin matter the prompt attention exacted ot him by the postal department. A Popular Summer Resort. The Glenn Springs, in Spartanburg County, S. C. These Springs have long been celebrated for the superior medi cinal qualities of the water, and their interesting and pleasant surroundings. Mr. W. D. Fowler, an experienced and most successful landlord, is in charge of the Hotel, and will make a visit pleasant and attractive to all who may sojourn under his. hospitable roof. See ad vcr tisement. Burning of a Railway Trestle. A trestle on the Charlotte, Columbia <fc Augusta Railroad, two miles the other side of Graniteville, between Vaucluse Factory and Heard's Mill, was burned on Thursday. Thursday 'and yesterday (says the Chronicle & Sentinel of Satur day,) trains were unable to pass, but pas sengers and freight were transferred at the break, and there was no interruption of travel. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. It is thought that the damage will be repaired in a short time. New Advertisements. Mr. W. H. Branson has opened " Cash Tables" at his popular House, and is selling bargains to every one passing. And his entire Stock has been marked down to very low figures. He is keen to sell-and therefore bargains on every grade of goods are to be found there. And Mr. J. H. Ch eat hp .n publishes wondrously low figures in our advertising columns to-day-and means just what he says. Mr. C. has determined to close out his stock of summer goods before 1st September, and has' made up his mind to place these goods on the market at prices that must guarantee their speedy sale. He has " Bargain Counters" too, and thereon offers extra inducements to beguile you out of your surplus " green backs." Messrs. TA W. Carwile jfc Co. are pre pared to supply all Edgefield with Ben gal Bagging and Wallis' Ties-and will sell at the bottom figures. They say " satisfaction guarantied,"-and that the Carwile boys will give you in every par ticular. We've tried 'om frequently tried 'cm in the Store time and again and always realized full value foreur money-and tried tho " big boss" at Schneider's,-and the new hat he gave us the next morning was two sizes larger and much better in every particular than tbe old Miing some fellow " stole" from* us that night. See advertisement, and go for the Carwile Brothers. And friend Mike O'Dowd-a "bully boy" is Mike-has gone and done it, and sends up a big advertisement concerning his manrtnoth Stock of Bacon, Corn, Flour, Sugars, Syrups, Whiskies, Wine?, Tobacco, Segara, <fec., <fcci This house has just received a larger Stock than ever heretofore on band, which they assure us they arc selling marvellously low down. Read advertisement-sean it -and send down your. orders, closely- *-<Uing k-tbv rule at Honesty and tair-u. . _ M. O'Dowd & Co's., and your order.. *r be filled os prompt and satisfactorily as if yon were personally present. Friend O'DoWd is a liberal-hearted enterprising gentleman-rmd justly merits the high esteem in which he is held by Edgefield and Edgefield people. Disastrous Fire. We regret to learn that on thc 14th in stant, the large Dwelling on the planta tion of Capt. J. S. Coles, near Dyson's Mills, on the Saluda River, was destroy ed by fire. The dwelling was occupied by Mr. Jefferson Reams, who had rented the place and was working the planta tion. Mi. Reams lost a 1 a portion of his furniture and' household article?. Capt. (toles' loss is" estimated at about iifiOP and that of Mr. Reams between Wmm^ ^red dollars. The fire was Mm4~m^ *m'? chimney falling on tho roof and sating the shingles on fire. . JOT Though-the State Lunatic Asylum ' has failed to realize the aid that Gov. ^^fr^.ljwd, yet Dr, Ensor, theoffl <?ent&us*i??U?i?pfilf'(say? the Phoenix) has made other sure arxang?fl???? Pf some time to come. Dr. E. deserves the thanks of all for his devotion to thc wei cf JU?; A Sabre Club. ' Edgefiold is to have a Bahrs Club. Elsewhere will be found a call from Maj. Wm. T. Gary for a meeting on Saturday next, of those who have signified a der .-e to become members of this organiza ti ,u. The Club will be organized in accordance I with the law of the State. The object of this association is social pleasure, and it has no reference, either directly or indirectly, to politics or po litical parties. The organization will do much to revive the spirits of our people, and we are heartily in favor of it. Edgefield. has always been distinguish ed for men who are perfect in all the ac complishments of a gentleman, and we predict that this organization will num ber amongst i' j members good looking men,-expert swordsmen-graceful riders -in short, Knights as true as ever noised a lance, or drew a sabre. Let the good work go on. The School Tax. School Commissioner McDevitt gives notice in another column to the Boards of Sob.col Trustees 'of the respective School Districts of this County,-calls foi* rheetings of these School Districts,-abd thinks that each District .should " raise a liberal local School Tax for the sup port of its Schools." Now, with an unexpended State ap propriation of over $15,000, to say noth ing of the poll tax, and the Free Schools of thc County closed, we cannot see the necessity of levying a Special Tax for School purposes, which tax cannot be collected until the next general tas is paid in November, and at which time the State appropriation of $15,000 will be received. Let the State appropriation first be exhausted, and if that fund is ] not sufficient, then call the School Dis trict Boards together to advise as to the Special Tax* ' . .. .. . . But is this Special Tax, which Mr. Mc Devitt wishes the School Districts to levy, in accord with the Constitution of j toe State ? That Instrument says : ' "The General Assembly shall levy ai ? each regular Session alter the adoption of this Constitution, an annual tax on all taxable property throughput the State for the support of pubbo.schools, which rax shall be collected at "the same time I and by the sortie Agents as the General I State levy, and shalt' be paid into the Treasury of the State." ? " The school tax shall -be distributed amonp the several School pistricts of the j 'State In proportion to the respect i v e num ber of-pupils attending Public Schools.'' If the Constitution is sovereign, and no one wiU gainsay it, then the threatening iangiiage of the Legislature contained in Section 2? of the Act referred to by Mr. McDevitt, is unconstitutional. The Constitution requires that the Leg islature, and not the inhabitants qt each School District, shall levy "an annual tax," and further requires that "annual tax" shall be distributed among the sev eral School,' Districts, according Jo the j number of pupils, and imposes no con dition on the inhabitants to act in any prescribed way before the appropriation is distributed. Therefore we would respectfully urge the tax-payers, in their School District meetings, not to levy a special tax for j school purposes. There is no. necessity as yet for any special tax, and if there was, it would certainly bo unconstitu tional for these District meetings to levy a solitary farthing for Free Schools. MOKE ARRESTS-ONE MAN SHOT. Deputy Marshal Maloney, pf Newberry, with a posse or file of soldiers? (says the j Phoenix of the 25th,) made a raid upon | the residence of Mr. Thomas. W. Blease, in Edgefield County, hear,Saluda Old Town, Sunday night, to arrest some par ties charged with violation of the En forcement Act. They were mur in all-^ Taliafcrro Perry, D. M. WaroV'^ohn'J. Barr and another. Perry was captured without injury ; John J. Barr was. seri ously wounded, while attempting to get away, and the other two escaped. Southern Land and Immigratirn Com pany.

Speaking of Mr. Greeley's popu larity among^the Irish, the Irish People *aya : " From the expressions of opinion that appear in the columns of the news papers which reach us from every part t?g.
