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. - We hear of a number of strangers, ladies and gentlemen, coming to visit friends in cur town, during Christmas. Things begin to look as if we should be quite gay and social. At Clisby & Lynch's, Christmas is per fectly ablaze-Christmas for the eye! Christmas for tho heart: Christmas for the palate 1 For old men "and maidens, for young men and children ! Go and fill your stockings, your ' baskets, your pockets, your band* !

Last week ire stated that Dr. Parker, had gone to Chicago to visit 3 s irk brother, j And now we regret to chronicle the fact that this brother has ?ince died. He was a physician of great;enrinence and large wealth. The sale of the three large plantations comprising the real estere of the late Gov. Pickens, were sold at public outcry on Monday last. Mrs. Pickens bought the whole. The Edgewood or Homestead Tract, 3600 acres, was bid off at $5000 ; the Grove Tract, 1300 acres/8?$3000, and the Savannah River Tract, 2100 acres, at j $13,100. - A tale goes that there is to-be a Concert at Johnston's soon, for the benefit of tho ter'" ^""TV Wu hnnn thju i- so. ? it is, let us all go. That Band deserves a bouncing benefit. The Christmas things at Mr. Penn'* in quantity, beauty, variety, and novelty -really take the rag off the bush. And so cheap are they that yon look up to see if WU1 is not ?kinta Claus himself! . The ladies of the Episcopal congrega tion are making preparations to decorate their Church beautifully. Have you noticed Mr. Clisby's new stable near the Tompkins Hotel? It fills up an ugly gap admirably. The best wine maker now in the world -Scuppernong.'-is Miss Lavinia Ken ney, of Harmony. Or shall we say Johnston's -v We regard her as an in spired woman ! Merry Christmas! Christmas Gift! to all of you. We are in earnest-par ticularly as regards the merry part. jjar Mr. Willie Durisoe is now receiv ing a delightful array of good things for Christmas. Call in and try them. _i-i-Li_ Lee Grange. Dr. D. C. Tompkins organized a new Grange, at Capt. T. H. Clark's, near Piae House, on Saturday last, to be known as Lee Grange. Tile following are the offi cers elect: TJB? Clark, Master, S.

It is the wooing voice of Peter Keenan, of | Augusta. Ho sings of Boots and Shoes for all mankind. And if you wish to hearths whole of his siren song, just read his new tard Su our business col umns to-day. A* to the quality, style and variety of Keenan'* Boots and Shoes, we say nothing.. Every body in Edge field that has two leg* knows all about that matter! lint *. to the immense and fabulous rcdnctions in price lately made by Keenan, we could not say too much. However, road Keenan-carefully Triumphs of Horticultural Skill. Our ever thoughtful and generous friend, Mrs. Ben. Hatcher, brings UM a Christmas present In two huge hairs, dozen* and dozens of magi)"* ?mt Pota toes'?nd Tnrnips'.

Hooper made his escape Into Sonthv0wwl.lu**i'6j?t was captured at GranitoylUe byMnyljin Griffin, colored^ of thia, town, and delivered to policemen from Auguste. That Wretched Old Hau, Christopher Gray! See what the old maa ; says elsewhere in this week's Advertiser, concerning his hope of happiness. 'And although the desired crowd is his-and moneyed thousands daily outer his store, and de part thence moneyless-still we haye r oa? ou to believe that he is yet unhappy. Nothing will satisfy him but that at least * half dozen of his fellow creatures shall be trampled to death in his grand melee of Cheap Goods. Go there, Ed gell eld people, and be trampled-that " Old Man, Christopher Gray" may be made happy ! 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. D.
