The Sabreurs mot on Saturday last and
determined ou a Tournament and Ball.
Tuesday next, the 23d, is to be the day.
The BaB will take place in the Masonic
Hall. The gentlemen of tho Club will
order the lights and'music, .and arrange
matters generally, while the supper will
bo provided by the ladies-mothers,
0 aunts, wives, sisters, sweethearts and
friends, of tho Sabreurs. And we war
rant the butter will see to it that the feast
is worthy of the occasion, and of the
season. Gentlemen, not members of the
Club, and not to be .outdone by the la
dies in generosity to the boys; will pur
chase tickets at $2.00. Let all combine
to make it a bright and nappy Christmas
gathering, a hearty village festival. And
we beg the young ladies not to be de
terred by a little-bad weather; which is
always more or less probable at this sea
son. We are informed that the ball, no
matter what the weather may be, cannot
be postponed.
Our old friends, the John Rainsfords-^ j
Men?% cCaii minis section, and sincere
ly beloved in return-have left 'their
beautiful and hospitable home 8 miles be
low us, and gone to live in Augusta. Mr.
R. is horribly and unaffectedly averse
to just such newspaper personals as we
are now "writing,' bul nevertheless we
are bent and determined upon expressing
the universal and sincere regret felt in
our community, and throughout our j
section; si the departure of himself and
his family.

Letter from the Mountains.
For the Advertiser.
WALHALLA, S, C., Dec. 12th, 1873..
Mn. EDITOR:-This is probably the last
letter that I shall write for the columns
of tile o\d. Advertiser in the year 1873.
When it makes its appearance in print,
it is likely that the Old Year will be rap
idly drawing to a close, and the New
Year be near at hand. And as the skill
ful mariner, who traverses the trackless
waters pf the ocean -with his ship, occa
sionally takes his "reckoning," that he
may ascertain where he is, how far he
has gone, and whither his craft is head
ing; so it is meet and important, that we, j
as individuals, communities, States, or
countries, being voyagers too on the
great sea of life and ocean of time, should
now and then-once a year at least-"cast
about us," review the past, consider the
present, and endeavor to forecast some
what the future.
? In the midst of the amusements, and
festivities which usually usher in Christ
mas-the natal day of the blessed Re
deemer of mankind, and the " Happy I
New Year"-the beginning of another
annual measure of time, let our mirth
and joy be tempered by prudence and J
moderation. While we hsve great cause j
as individuals, as a people, and a nation,
to be thankful to the Supreme Ruler of
the universe for that goodness and mer-1
cy, and that loving kindness, with which I
wo have been followed daring the year
that is now near its end, and should j
evince our gratitude and gladness in eve
ry proper manner, let us mingle there
with sober and solemn reflection, and
shape our actions and future coarse in
life in accordance with the dictates of I
sound reason and the teachings of true
wisdom. j
The year 1873 has not been marked in j
our own land with any great and start- j
ling events With the exception of short
conflicts with the poor Indians in the
fer West, no war or bloodshed has visited
our borders. While contending hosts
have met in the shock of battle on the
classic field of portions of Europe, and
the people of France and Spain have suf
fered all the untold horrors and calami
ties of war, we have enjoyed all the
blessings of peace. It is true that por
tions of the great valley, of the Missis
sippi have been visited by those terrible
scourges, the cholera and yellow fever ;
but their rivages wore confined to limit
ed sections of the country, and the suf
fering resulting therefrom, though groat j
and truly distressing, were only tempo
rary. For the most part throughout our
extended country, there has been the
usual measure of health among its in
habitants; abundant harvests have gen
erally crowned the labors of the hus
bandman, and apart from the financial
convulsion and the temporary evils aris
ing from it in the great commercial cen
tres of the country, the people ol tho
United States should feel that they are in
the enjoyment of an unprecedented de-1
grce of prosperity and happiness.
I look upon the financial crash, which
was doubtless caused by reckless speeu- I
lation aud senseless extravagance, as a
blessing in disguise. The greatest mis
fortune it produced, and tho one which
is most to be regretted, is the fact that
the evils and hardships which have at
tended it have fallen most heavily upon
those who had but little or nothing to do
with bringing it about.
If no ono suffered from a monetary I
crisis of this kind except the money
kings, wild speculators, and dishonest
stock-jobbers of the great cities, who live
and fatten off the hard earnings of the
honest working men of tho country, it
would be no great misfortune to have
such a panic every year or two. But un
fortunately for the country, from the
present arrangement of things, such can
never be the case. So interwoven are
the interests of the far rae r.s and producers
and the honest trading public with the
banks, and so great is their dependence
on them, that when these reckless specu
lators pull down the pillars of tho com
mercial temple, and there is a crash
which shakes the commerce of the coun
try from New York to San Francisco,
they generally manage to escape from
the ruins without seri?os injury to them
selves, while the calamity falls with
crushing force upon others.
This panic, or rather such a state of
things as it has developed, is to my mind |
but another' argument in favor of the
doctrine which I have long advocated,
namely, that the Southern people should
raise less cotton and more provisions
and home supplies, and manufacture
more of the necessary articles of life
which they require, that they may be
less helplessly dependent upon the bank
ers and brokers of Wall Street and other
cities. Something had to bo done to
check the profuse and absurd extrava
gance and the wild speculation and fast
living that were fast ruining the country,
aud in this point of view, I look upon
this convulsion as a public blessing.
These ovils have not yet become as
prevalent in the South as they are in thc
North, and if our section will now adopt
that policy which our magnificent re
sources, and the teachings of sound po
litical econemy, as well as the dictates of
common sense, so plainly point out,
when the next financial panic sweeps
over the country, we will be compara
tively exempt from its hardships and
calamities.
The present political conditiou of South
Carolina, though bad In the extreme, is
by no means a hopeless one. ? The very
enormity of the evils from which wo are
suffi ring is gradually working their cure.
There is a limit to even official irrup
tion and public plunder, ana there is
every indication that tho part}' in power
in this State have at length reached that
limit. There aro now elements within
the Republican party in South Carolina,
which together with tho conservative
agencies aud influences that are brought
ti> bear upon it from without, must either
bring about reform and amendment, or
tho piyAy will have to go to pieces and
give way to better men and measures.
Whilo therefore there ls much to sadden
the heart of the patriot lu the past and
present condition of the commonwealth,
the future is not ontiroly devoid of hopo,
and taking lessons of wisdom from ex
perience, and scorning to despond or
despair, let us heed the salutary admoni
tion of tho facetious " Bill Arp," and en
deavor to do the very best we can under
the circumstances.
The usual quiet of our town was rude
ly disturbed on last Saturday evening by
a row in tho streets, in which a negro
man named Lee Hunter was shot and
killed. The young man charged with
the killing was forcibly taken to jail by
the negroes, and is now in custody.
Principal cause of the disturbance mean
whisky. One snow on the mountains a
few we?ks ago-none in town as .yet. No
other nows of importance at this time.
Many oiti?Y t?pie? %f-?t?r?h " suggest
ready, extendeu beyond' nTy W?a? Umits {
and "wishing tho ?any readers of the
Advertiser, as weil as the Editor and
Proprietor and all concerned, a "Merty
Christinas" and " Happy. New Year," I
must bid you adieu for the* present.
