The publication of a large number of communications, business notices, editori al articles, &c, must unavoidably be post poned until next week. I.OCAI, ITJE31S. Within the past week we have had repeat ed and heavy rains-the only really generous rains we have had since -?he first of May. They come almost too late-except for turnips and potatoes. Ar>present the weather is cold and windy. On Sunday next the Episcopal Church will be closed. And probably the Meth 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. M. .This will be an interesting occasion, call ing into our midst many of the rery best men and women of our County. The delegates to the State Grange will be elec ted at this meeting. 2*iie State Grange holds its annual convention in November. In our issue of this week will be found three interesting documents, all bearing upon one andjthe 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 eat. The old tale-a sad and a truthful one too- - that the late lamented Hardy Wall al ways told. And in farther extenuation of Albert's apparent want of care, wo would state that 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 wn np the creek, and what mattered the rest? Remember the man of the par able who had " married a wife" and there fore could not attend the feast-and be lenient towards Albert. There now remains but 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 man who accepts an office the duties of which he knows himself incapable to perform. Go up head, Jersey. And bless God, ye public officiate of Edgefield, that your lines have not fallen to you in that level-headed State. Twenty Dollare reward for Snipes " alice." 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. He 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 fly up the crt^k. Capt. Clinton Ward and bis 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, ye offered 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. Our letter from London is elaborate, polished and interesting-speaking, among other thing?, of soma of the fine estates in England that may one day belong "to the Edgefield Jenningses. The latest departures from our town "Northwards, are Mr. W. H. Brunson, who left us ten days ago to boy fall and win ter dry goods in New York, and Dr. W. A. Sanders, who designs swinging around a hnge circle-New York, Phladelphia. 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 th? Brahma Pootra M.usuels. This is to tike place at Pine House Depot, on Fri day night next-on which occasion the Brabma"T'oo'?ras will be assisted by the popalar and experienced Johnson Bra1?? Band. Among the good thing.? on the programare-, -bWides- the- splendid '* Grande Entree," are "-Old Dad's Cabin," " Music ftth Charms," "Brudder Bones' Stumu Speech," and "De Trouble Begins At Nine." Whoever goes to this Concert is absolutel}* bound 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. Tb? Brah ma Pobtras, assisted again by the Johnston Band, will sing and dance in our town on Thursday night of next week. Let ns give them a rousing audi ence. If " Einnad" will let ni keep "Aunt Sallie's Opinion Of The Times" a few weeks-..ntil we get over the great rush of advertising business incident to the fall-wc will give it place with pleasure. Our young friend, Mr. Zach Smith, of j 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 now comes that experienced and I veteran farmer, Carson Warren, Esq., and claims a champion belt for improved I cotton. Specimen stalks of this cotton hang in our office. " Seeing is believing." The plants before us are sowewhat stum py, but as for fruit-it is almost impossi ble to give an idea of its profusion. "We attempted to count the full grown bolls upoD a single stalk, but hauled off wearied and confusc-d-seeing that arithmetic would utterly fail to compute the num ber. This cotton is to be called the " Warren' Prolific." - The Park fence is being painted. Our city fathers have done better than usual lately. Beautiful-nay more than beautiful, exquisite-fall and winier Calicoes are even now arriving at Mr. J. H. Cheat ham's. JOHNSTON ITEMS. On Saturday irs.t, Lott Grange, the most earnest and zealous Grange perhaps in our County, held ? large call c .?ting -with pic-nic features, &c. Col. Thoa. G. Bacon, an enthusiastic Granger, made, it is said, a long and ablejspeech on this occa sion. The new Baptist Church, for which $1.500 to $2.000 is already subscribed, is to be built at the Columbia end of the town. Cotton is pouring in, and all the mer chants buv it greedily-with the ease and grace ot old Antoine Poullain of Augusta. Among the prominent public buildings at Johnston is the new Guard House. This is situated South of the railroad, near the Depot; and millions upon mill ions of negroes, Beduced and demoralized by tangle-loot, are thrust into it every Saturday afternoon. Our friend, Mr. George Toney, is build ing a new dwelling house, a beautiful new style cottage, on the street leading up to the Academy. Dr. Mims's new residence is completed. Mr. M. A. Maull has built a new house apposite Dr. T. J. Teague's. The young men-to their very great :redit be it said-have organized a weekly Prayer Meeting. They assemble on each Wednesday night in the Academy. Readf hw. II. i/iu'ei, Esq., Batcsburg, S. C.

From thc Columbia Union-Herald. .etter From Edgcf.cld-More Pris oners Ei-capcd. EDOEFIKI.D C. H., Sept. 17. "o the Editors of thc Union-Her aid : GENTS-AS ? have a few leisure mo lents, 1 thought I would write you a few nes, io let you know how old Edgefield ? gc. .ng along. The most interesting berne in town this morning i? the escape f more prisoners from the Edgefield jail, n Wednesday night last. One prisoner, y the name of ?Snipes, white, who was .?rving out a sentence of thc court, was ent out of the jail to the public well, rhich is about fifty yards from the jail, ar a bucket o? water for the other prisc icrs, but, to the discomfiture of the jailor, ic has not returned with that bucket if water. I have not learned whether he prisoners have been watered since ho eft or not ; tho general impression is that Snipes has flown up the creek. Gn last light two other prisoners, confined on the ?Larg? of murder, left that lonely domi lile, called jail, vfhey did not gp out of he door'liku gentlemen, as Snipes did, ?ut, with a piece of hoop irou, they re zoned an old hole in the wall, which has )een kept for the use of prisoners who de lire to escape from this lonely place, and vhich has been used for that purpose for he last year or two. This makes the ifth squad that has escaped from thc jail it this place within about twelve months, naking in all twelve or fifteen prisoners. The names of the last two that left were ?espectively Lang Goodman and Eas Scott, both colored. Thc 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. il. Chamberlain. So much for the jail at this place. The crops generally in this COUTItT lYftYc been greatly Injured by the drought. The county auditor of Edge field county has got his books completed [both auditor's and treasurer's duplicates), and is now ready for the inevitable tax I- vy. Gov. M. L. Bonham, the refe-ee appointed by t' e court to examine and have proved a'l claims against the coun ty, has been hard at his duties for about ten days. One would judge from the amount of business done at the reference lh.il there is a right smart chance of that kind of naper Nmg around loose.
