T?E ADVERTISER. Terms, 83,00 per Annum. Accidental Deaths. On Friday afternoon last, Richard Har rison, colored, living on the premises of Mr. Geo. Lanier, at Mt.. Vernon, in the upper section of this County, whilst cut ting rail timber, made a glancing blow .with his axe, the blade of the axe strik ing his foot near the ankle joint, and coming near severing his foot from his leg; from which blow he bled to death before medical attention could reach him. On Saturday night last a party of col ored people were ont hunting in tho vi cinity of the Old Wells, and in cutting down a tree in which it was thought a coon had sought refuge, the tree fell on one of the party-a colored man, whose name we have not been able lo ascertain -who was'killed instantly. A Fatal Affray in Granlteville. We are informed that a little white boy named Willie Howard, about 10 years old, killed a little colored boy of about the same age, in Graniteville, on Mon day last, by outting the throat of the said colored boy with his pocket knife, from which wound he died in the course of an hour. Probable Homicide. On Sunday night, ihe 3rd inst, Wil son Curry stabbed Gilbert Glover-both colored, and one or both living on the premises of Dr. J. A. Devore-the wounds being so serious as to cause the appre hension that they will jesuit in death. Glover was stabbed in the breast and in the back. Curry delivered himself up to Sheriff Wall on Monday, and is now in jail. *s jt?r Mr. J. H. Cheatham is offering his Spring and Summer Goods at Prime New York Cost for Cash.

On account of the very rainy forenoon, and the promise of iurther rain, the young gentlemen, managers of the Pic Nic, have concluded to change thc allair to an evening party-Hop and Supper in the Masonic Hall. Thin evening (Wednesday-) of course, at "J o'clock. On the eve of going to press, they beg us to make this announcement-request ing that baskets be sent to tho Hall-and that ladies rendezvous there for an even ing entertainment. Local Items. The distinguishing features of Sale-day were the Railroad Meeting and a mag nificent rain. And these came simulta neously. Many country gentlemen, in attendance upon thc Meeting, craned their necks out of the Court House win dows, in a manner both perilous and amusing, to see if they were "getting any." Did you ever note farmers watch ing for rain-heavenly.manna? Big rains again on Tuesday, and still again on Wednesday. Even as we write, it is pouring. And this is the day too of the grand pic-nic gotten up by our brave t*ys, to honor the ladies of ali tho sur rounding sections. Everything is in readiness, and everything in most liberal style. Well, should the rain mar the joy and success of the day, be it known to the public-and particularly to the la dies-that the aforesaid boys have done their part well, generously, gallantly. "Man proposes, but God disposes." Mr. A. Baron Holmes, of the Holmes Book House, Charleston-on a summer vacation among his Edgeficld friends honored our sanctum withins cheerful presence a day or two since. Always de lighted to welcome him-and to cujoy the books and magazines hesogenerous ly brings us.

Ceutle men, what say you? A company has been formed, we un- j derstand, with Capt. F. L. Smith as the . active or business partner, to run a Steam Cotton Gin and Grist Mill at tho Smith Carriage Shop in this town. Thc Engine and MaCUm?ry lias been ordered, and will be in operation in time to Gin the present crop of cotton. This will prove a profitable investment, and will also b< a great convenience to our people. What will our ladies think when wc inform them that one of our gayest/and most desirable bachelors-one who lias sighed and capered through many years of hope deferred-udd us thc other day he "had entirely thrown up tho sponge as regards women." Is there no balm in Gilead for hi m ? Wc pause for a reply. The talk is now considerably of tur nips and turnip-sowing. Says a grassy old farmer, the other day, in our hearing, to a young farmer, in his first season, who was bragging of Iiis cotton pros peet:-"Yes, and your good luck this year is the very thing that will turn you a goosey and ruin you yet." The young ster .scoffed at thc idea, aiiu the grassy old fellow sighed with ?ad experience. Good deal of road working latch'-but far from enough. Col.

Two weeks back, we announced that Mr. Ashmore, the experienced surveyor of the Greenwood & Augusta Road, was about to begin a survey of a route be tween our town and the Pine House. This survey, Mr. Ashmore and his corps have now completed. And at present they-Mr. Ashmore and Dr. R. T. Mims-are preparing to make a Report. The route is very nearly an air line, .and the engineers pronounce it highly ad vantageous and available for a Railroad. And now the question is : What kind of Road shall we build? Is it necessary to build a first-class narrow gauge to an swer our purposes? And can wo raise the money (not less than ?60,000) to build this kind of Road. Or would it not be wiser under the circumstances, as well as more practicable, to build a wooden Road at a cost of ?25,000, which will do our work equally as well asj.a first-class iron Road? Several of our correspondents have written latel}*, intelligently and forcibly in favor of the wooden Road ; and this week we have an encouraging article oh the same subject from no less high and trustworthy a source than President Magrath bf the S. C. R. R. We are very much in favor of the wooden Road, chiefly because we are not able to build an iron Hoad- within our selves, and have no right to expect out side help-and no great probability of receiving such. And why no outside help? Simply because the Road will be too short. Capitalists will certainly not invest in so short a-line, even were we able to rhise a sufficient amount to build a first-class Road for half the distance, and then give a mortgage on the entire Road to com pleto it. 'The probable income of the Road would not justify capitalists in making the venture. From the undoubted and well-proved success of wooden Railroads elsewhere, we feel warranted in sa3ring that such a Road, properly graded, and built of good sbund timber, would:answer our pur poses most 'satisfactorily-would trans port as much freight as we shall proba bly require for years to come ; and at the same rates as an iron Road-possibly cheaper. And as to the oft repeated objection that the wooden rails (4x5 scantling) would last only one year-even granting this for argument's sake-could they not . bo replaced annually atacost not exceed ing ?2,000-less by ?4,000 than would be required per annum to simply pay 10 >er cent, on a ?60.000 iron Road? Ari J further. Would it not be rath er poor policy to tie up ?60,000 (as compar atively dead capital) in an iron Road, when, with a $25,000 wooden Road, we can obtain exactly the same results ; that is, transport all the freight and the travel that our town and its section may de mand ? ! Where the necessity for a four or six , horse, iron bub and axle wagon, when ? one or two horse, wooden hub and axle vehicle will do our work just as well at one-fourth tho cost? As to the style : and grandeur of tile thing, that is all nonsense. Thc shabbiest sort of gentility , is tina which is above its business and ' above its means. j When the Report shall be read and considered, then steps will be immedi ately taken to raise tho necessary funds. And we beg our people to reinem ber and to realize that the existence ol . Edgeheld is now fii the deadly breach ol uncertainty. With this Railroad she ; swims! Without it she sinks.' '?} And let every citizen of this town and surrounding vicinity-rich or poor, white or colored-feel that with himself individually rests the building of this Road, and enter his name upon the sub- i scription list, when presented, for every , dollar possible for him to pay or work . out, without regard to the amount sub- ? scribed by, or the action bf, his neighbor j in the premises. If we all thus act, our individual efforts will be crowned with success, and the Road will be promptly bult. Mr. Whitfield's School. I With much pleasure, and much hope, we call the attention ol' the public to the card of Mr. Whitfield in another column -with pleasure at the contemplation of Mr. Whitfield's admirable industry and perseverance, and with hope that our ? community is at last about to enjoy the l inestimable benefits of a good and per- j Uianent Mule School.

This is thc revival among the colored people of which we spoke last week-at their Church (Baptist) on Shaw's Creek near the old Hatcher Mill. From the Rev. Aleck Bettis, pastor of ?aid church, we have'received a polite and intelligent note, giving us some items of the Meet ing. lt dosed on Sunday last, upon which day the extraordinary number ol' two hundred and thirtj- three persons were baptized. This good pastor, who, ns bond or free, has always borne a very excellent character, utters some earnest words of exhortation to all his colored co-laborers in the vineyard to bo more vigilant, more untiring, for the spiritual regeneration of their race. He very cor dially acknowledges the co-operation of his reverend brothers, Jones, Buckelt, and Mathis. Death of Two Prominent Up-Country Gentlemen. We regret to announce tho death of Col. J. P. Hoyt, of Anderson, the father of our friend Mr James A. Hoyt, of tho Anderson fntellirjciiccr.

The amount of freight transported in and out of Boston on the Boston and Albany Road during the past month reached 73,000 tons, and the collections in Boston on freight account were S-1S3, 000. The freight money upon the cattle transported from the West and received at Brighton station amounts to about two million dollars in a single year, the Boston and Albany Railroad accounting to the other roads between Boston and Chicago for their pro rata share of the amount received. Aunt Lotty, the 109 year old colored woman, walked to town on Monday last, and Billy Hillsman carried ber to Jeffers' gallery and had her picture taken. Wc'interviewed the good old woman, and learned that she was 30 years old when Washington died. Her old mas ter's will manumitted his slaves at .the age of thirty-five. She would have been entitled to her freedom in the year 1800, out the heirs of the estate shipped all the slaves South, and she thus escaped the misfortune till 1SC5.
