These outrages were Bommitted in Edgefield County, but not by Edgefield people. Indeed it can vet y easily be proved that not a single citizen of Edgefield had anything whatever lo do with this great crime. The inhabitants of the section where those outrages were committed, are among our purest and beet, our most enlightened and most re ligious, our most quiet and best educa ted. Terrible wrong has been clearly done, but the citizens of Edgefield are profoundly free of all complicity. Starling Turner, Esq.

The court train of satin was loug and square ; rose buds were worked upon it with threads of gold. The plain white satin petticoat was trimmed with bias folds of satin di vided by a fringe of gold and pearls. Broad bands of gold embroidery separa ted the petticoat from tho court train.

I My bark is launched on life's bright tide, And light and buoyant, loves to ride The billows of a happy fate Which seems with joy to undulate. Sweet Pleasure, with a laughing air Gaily assays the craft to steer, While Hope, with scarce more sober brow, Sits as Pilot on tho prow. Happiness bur port must be, For somewhero on this smiliug sea, Is situate that Haven fair, Though chart, nor compass tells me where. In My Forties? My years have'donbled since I wrote, And yet my bark is still afloat, More steadily she rides the wave, Her crew and pilot are more grave. Pleasure, oh 1 the fickle jade Has left her post, and somewherestrayed, And Hope, less forward pilot now, No longer sits upon the prow. And Happiness, that haven fair Which we have sought for many a year, Our Pilot thinks, may after all Not be on life's rough sea at all. For the Advertiser. Happy anti Auspicious Nnptials. On tho night of the 30th Dec, 1879, the residence of the Hon. M. A. Rountree, of Barnwell Co., S. C., was lit up with brilliancy in anticipation of the marriage of Miss Lucr BOWERS to Dr. P. n. EVE.

RONALD. For tho Advertiser LET US BOUND POR WA ItD INTO LIMITLESS) PROSPERITY. MESSRS. EDITORS : in the commence ment of a New Year let. us recast our horoscope, and see, if we can, what is the present and future prospect of South Car olina. In the recent past, South Carolina has been as mach a sealed book to outsi ders as the Empire of China of the Islands of japan. Our statesmen seem to have been content with getting position with out making a:'.y great cff?rt to let the world know, < pecially capitalistsand hon est industrious immigrants, the boundless hidden treasures that lio beneath our Car olina siol. But in our anomalous condi tion under the rule of the 0 >ths and Vandals that robbed our gloater and bet ter t han Italian domain, aogreat advance could he niado to develop th? rich re3onrcc3 that providence ha? given us with a lav ish hiMid. The mountains that skirt our Northern border contain vast quantities of iron ore; the upper tier ol' counties, stretching from th? Savannah on the west to the groat Pei D :n un th i en'., are rich in gold bearing quartz, which will amply pay capital, labor and energy to bring it to the surface; while in tho counties stretching along our coast, we have land, marsh and river, that are now producing the best phosphate rock known to the commercial world. Most of the counties of the Slate will produce rye. barley( wheat, oats, and some of the cultivated grasses as well as anv of the Western or Northern States, in addition to tho great Btaples of corn, cotton, rice, and, I may add, sugar. In short, we have a salubrious climate, an Italian sky, anda rich ?oil that will yield the products of the tropics as well as those of a colder clime. Lumber is abundant, and water power is ready in every county of the State, waiting the advent of capital and labor to make it subservientjto the wealth-making energies of man. With these factors for gieatness, wealth and intelligence, what is to keep South Carolina from bounding forward into limitless prosperity ? It seems to mo, we should bury Methu solah-he is dead !-and crowd into thc next decade all the centuries of that illus trious personage in one great effort to co erce greatness, from the hand of Nature that bids us be great.

From a recent paper we learn that this order is now only six years old, but from an humble beginning has made remarka ble progress.

A GIFT TO WOFFORD COLL?GE-Pro fessor David Duncan has given his classi cal library to Wofford College, and this is no ordinary gift. For many years he has been accumulating this library until it numbers nearly 1200 volumes Many of the books are rare, and there is one of the number thaL cost over a hundred dollars. The learned classical scholar, Dr. Toy, said this was the finest classical library he had ever seen in the possession of a private individual, and he had 6een many in Eu rope and America. It is difficult to esti mate the value of this gift in money, but it is perhaps between five and eight thou sand dollars.

It ?M now over twelve years since a now cur? for chronic diseasos was discovered, known as " COSIPOUND Ox YO KN " The results which have followed its use up to this time have been so remarkable that it is beginningto attract tho widest attontion. Many intelligent physicians in various parts of tho country have, after a careful investigation of its .scien tific and pathological claims, used it in coses where all other known remedies had failed, and with a success alike sur prising to themselves and their patients. In Consumption, Catarrh, Asthma, Bron chitis, Headache, Dyspepsia, and the wido rango of Neuralgic disorders from 1 which so many suffer life-long tortures, it has rarely failod to givo roliof, and in many cases to make pormanent cures.
