Within the past week we have had repeat ed and heavy rains-the only really generous rains we have had since the first of May. They come almost too lat?-except for turnips and potatoes. At present the weather is cold and windy. On Sunday next the Episcopal Church will be closed. And probably the Moth odist also. We hear the painful rumor that the Rev. Mr. Round has lost another child-in Anderson, where Mrs. Round is visiting her family. We earnestly hope this may prove to be untrue. There will be divine service in the Baptist Church. We are requested and authorized by B J. Bouknight.Esq., Secretary, to announce that the Pomona Grange of.- Edgefield County will meet in our town on the sec ond Wednesday in October, at 10 A. Bi. .This will be an interesting occasion, call ~ing into our midst many of the very best meu and women of our County. The delegates to the State Grange will be elec ted at this meeting. ??oie State Grange holds its annual convention in November. In our issue of this week will be found three interesting documents, all bearing upon onear.djthe same subject ; viz., a Let ter from Edgefield to the Columbia Union Herald, the Report of the Committee who have recently visited and examined the jail, and the Card of Albert Jackson, our colored jailor. The letter to the Union-Herald is lively, and saves us the trouble of telling the tale. In his card, Albert says that at the time Snipes fled, he was deviling the County Commission ers vainly-and McDevitt also we guess to get a few dollars with which to buy something for the prisoners to cat. The old tale-a sad and a truthful one too- - that the hate lamented Hardy Wall al ways told. And in further extenuation of Albert's apparent want of care, we "Would state ths ' at the precise hour the two negroes escaped, he (Albert) was being married. In the first tumultuous joys of a fast-coming honeymoon, who would be so groveling as to give a thought to negro jailbirds ? It is too much to expect ; of a mortal man ! Snipes had already -"flown up the creek, and what mattered the rest ? Remember the man of the par able who had " married a wife" a ad there fore could not attend the feast-and be lenient towards Albert. There now remains 1 ut two prisoners in the jail-a young white man whose name we forget, and Henry Kilcrease, the famous negro who so horribly murdered his wife two years ago-and who was sentenced to be hanged, and has not been hanged-and who does not get a new trial-and who broke his leg in escaping last winter-and who now lies there in definitely, a half starved cripple. If there was ever a spot upon God's earth where negroes and Radicals have had a fair chance, and proved themselves wanting, that spot is assuredly Edgefield County. When negroes in Edgefield County complain of not having a fair chance, then absurdity and want of rea son reach their climax. " Thirty-nine lashes on the bare back" is proposed in New Jersey for any mau who accepts an office the duties of which he knows himself incapable to perform. Go up head, Jersey. And bless God, ye pubiic officials of Edgefield, that vour lines have not fallen to you in that level-headed State. Twenty Bollara reward for Snipes " alive." That is good. Take notice that the dead body of Snipes has no money value. However, we should not speak idly or unfeelingly of poor old man Snipes. Ile got into trouble by means of two wild and unruly sons, and had already served out seven of his nine months sen tence. For God's sake let him alone. Let him continue to fy up the creek. Capt. Clinton Ward and his neighbors have charitably cared for the old man's family a long time. .Let Snipes fly to his own and rest with them. According to the suggestion of our valued agricultural friend, published some three weeks back, wo oi?w&d moro than half our space for original agricultural communications from our own people. But none have been sent us. We now call upon that same friend to take the in itiative. He is capable in every way. And others will surely follow. 4 _____ Our letter from London is elaborate, polished and interesting-speaking, among other things, of some of the fine estates in England that may one day belongvlo the Edgefield Jenningses. -yj The latest departures from our town Northwards, are Mr. W. H. Brunson, who left U3 ten days ago to buy fall and win ter dry goods in New York, and Dr. W. A. Sanders, who designs swinging around a huge circle-New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Charleston-buying every sort of merchandize that human hands ever made or human skill invented. From Ridge Spring tb Graniteville the talk is-of- the. coming-Concert of the Brahma Pootra Minstrels. This is to take place at Pine House Depot. on Fri day night jiext^-on which occasion the BrahmVPco"?ras will be assisted by the popelar and experienced Johnston Bra*? Band. Among the good things on the program mV, 'tateideB- the-splendid'" Grande Entree," are "-Old Dad's Cabin," " Music th Charms," " Brudder Bones' Stump Speech," and "De Trouble Begins At Nine." Whoever goes to this Concert is absolutely brand to get five dollars worth for fifty cents! And remember too that the undertaking is for a charitable pur pose. Admission, 50 cents all round. The Brahma Pobtras, assisted again by the Johnston Band, will sing and dance in our town on Thursday night of next week. Let us give them a rousing audi ence. If " Einnad" will let us keep "Aunt Sallie's Opinion Of Tho Times" a few weeks-until we get over the great rush of advertising business incident to tue fall-we will give it place with pleasure. Our young friend, Mr. Zach Smith, of | the Harmony section, departs for Louis ville, Ky., on Saturday -next, to attend medical lectures. He promises to write us now and then from that fair city. And no (V comes that experienced and veteran farmer, Carson Warren, Esq., and claims a champion belt for improved cotton. Specimen stalks of this cotton hang in our office. " Seeing is believing." The plants before us ave sowewhat stum py, but as for fruit-it is almost impossi ble to give an idea of its profusion. We ltteinpted to count the full grown bolls apon a single stalk, but hauled off wearied md confused-seeing that arithmetic ?vould utterly fail to compute the nurr. fer. This cotton is to be called the ' Warren" Prolific." -. The Park fence is being painted. Our ity fathers have done better than usual ately. Beautiful-nay more than beautiful, :xquisite-fall and winier Calicoes are iven now arriving at Mr. J. H. Chcat tam's. JOHNSTON* ITEMS. On Saturday last, Lott Grange, the nost earnest arid zealous Grange perhaps n our County, held a large call meeting -with pic-nic features, <tc. Col. Thoa. G. Jacon, an enthusiastic Granger, made, it 3 said, a long and ablejspeech on this occa ion. The new Baptist Church, for which 1.500 to ?2.000 is already subscribed, is 3 be built at the Columbia end of the awn. Cotton is pouring in, and all the raer bants buy it greedily-with the ease and race ot old Antoin? FouUain of Augusta. Among the prominent public buildings t Johnston is the new Guard House, 'his is situated South of the railroad, ear the Depot ; and millions upon niill >ns of negroes, Beduced and demoralized y tangle-toot, are thrust into it every aturday afternoon. Our friend, Mr. George Toney, is build ?g a new dwelling house, a beautiful new bie cottage, on the street leading up to ie Academy. Dr. Mims s new residence is completed. Mr. M. A. Maali has built a new house pposite Dr. T. J. Teague's. The young men-to their very great .edit be it said-hav organized a weekly raver Meeting. They assemble on each Wednesday night in the Academy.

From thc Columbia Union-Herald. Letter From Edgeficld-Morc Pris oners Escaped. EDGEFIELD C. H., Sept. 17. To the Editors of thc Union-Herald : GENTS-As I have a few leisure mo ments, i thought I would write you a few lines, to let vou know how old Edgefield is.getting along. The most interesting theme in town this morning is the escape Di'more prisoners from tue Edgefield jail, on Wednesday night last. One prisoner, by the name of Snipes, white, who was Serving out a sentence of thc court, was sent out of the jail to the public well, which is about fifty yards from the jail, for a bucket of water for the other priso ners, but, to the discomfiture of the jailor, he has not returned with that bucket of water. I have not learned whether the prisoners have been watered since ho left or not ; tho general impression is that Snipps has flown up the creek. On last night two other prisoners, confined on thc charge of murder, left ?.hat lonely domi cile, called jail. JtThey did not gp out of ?be door like gentlemen, os Snipes did, but, with a piece of hoop iron, they re opened an old hole in the wall, which has been kept for the usc of prisoners who de sire to escape from this lonely place, and which Las been used for that purpose for the last year or two. This makes the fifth squadlhat has escaped from thc jail at this place within about twelve months, making in all twelve or fifteen prisoners. The names of the last two that left were respectively Lang Goodman and Eas Scott, both'colored. The last named gen tleman was but a short time ago arrested in Augusta, Ga., and brought to this state upon a requisition of his excellency Gov. D. H. Chamberlain. So much for the jail at lins place. The crops generally in this rotmfr hnvc been greatly Injured by tho drought. The county auditor of Edge field county has got his books corapieted (both auditor's and treasurer's duplicates), and is now ready for the inevitable tax levy. Gov. M. L. Bonham, the refereo appointed by tho court to examine and have proved all claims against the coun ty, has been hard nt his duties for about ten days. One would judge from the amount ol' business done at the reference I hat there is a right smart chance of that kind of imper Nmg around loose.
