This week we pub'.i.sh the rev dting details of the bad treatment of Peniten tiary convicts as contained in the reports of Superintendent Lipscomb aud Sur geon Trezevant. These outrages were committed in Edgefle!'" County, but not by Edgefield people. Indeed it can vet y easily be proved that not a single citizen of Edgefield had anything whatever to do with this great crime. The inhabitants of the section where those outrages wero committed, are among our purest and beet, our most enlightened and mast re ligious, our most quiet and best educa ted. Terrible wrong has been clearly done, but the citizeus of Edgefield are profoundly free of all complicity. Starling Turner, Esq.

Happiness our port must be, For somewhero on this smiling sea, Is situate that Haven fair, Though chart, nor compass tells me where. lu Ny 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 ! 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 and Auspicious Nuptials. 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 Lucv BOWERS to Dr. P. n. EVE.

The young couple were the recipients of many presents from their numerous I host of relatives and friends, as tokens of their esteem Dr. Eve will take his bride to Booch Island, whore they are to live. RONALD. For tho Advertiser LIST US HOUND FORWARD INTO LIMITLESS PROSPERITY. MESSRS. EDITORS : In the commence ment of a New Fear let us recital, our horoecope, and see, if wc can, what is the present and future prospect of South Car olina. In the recent past, South Carolina has been os mach a sealed book to outsi ders as the Empire of China or'the Islands of 3apan. Our statesmen seem to have been content with getting position with out innking arty great elf >rt to let the world know, especially capitalists and hon e ' industrious immigrants, the boundless hidden treasures that lie beneath our Car olina stol. Bat in our an >maloui condi tion under the rule of the G >tks and Vandals that robbed onr greater and bet ter than Italian domain, no great advance could he mad.; to develop th? rich resource that providence has given tu willi a lav ish Iwnd. The mountains thst ?kirt our Northern border contain vast quantities of iron ore; the upper tier of counties, stretching fneu thu Savanna!? on tho west to the great Pt? DJ* on th< eut., ar<j rich in gold bearing quartz, which wdl amply pay capital, labor and enerby to bring it. to the surface; while in the counties stretching along our coast, we have land, marsh and river, that aro now producing the best phosphate rock known to the commercial world. Most of the counties of the Slate will produce rye, barleyi wheat, oats, and some of the cultivated grasses as well as anv of the Western or Northern State?, in addition to the great staples of corn, cotton, rice, and, I may add, sugar. In short, wc have a salubiious climate, an Italian sky, anda rich soil 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 factor.* for gteatness, wealth and intelligence, what is to keep South Carolina from bounding forward into limitless prosperity ? It seems to mc, we should bury Methu selah-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 ol' 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. It has now in tho country 1,901 lodges with 60,000 active members. Within the six years of its existence the order has distributed and paid in benefits from its widows' and orphans' fund $2,061, 930.61, and ita average annual distribution and payments amount to $100,000.- Th Knights of Honor is a ?rand, rr^anized systematic charity, with its members chi'f ly from the middle classes of society. It is also of great advantage by elevating ils members socially and morally, and is most beneficial in its relief of suffering^ prevention of poverty, and is tnerefon ,enefit lo the whole community even out side of its own organization. Its stability and soundness have been thoroughly test' ed, the pledges of its members can be're lied on, as has been amply \ roved. The Knights of Honor's system is much more economical and reliable than the establish ed systems of life insurance.

The learned classical scholar, Dr. Toy, said this was the finest classical library he had ever seen in the posses3ion of a private individual, and he had seen many in Eu rope and America.

Many intelligent physicians in various parts of tho country have, after a careful investigation of its scien tific and pathological claims, used il in cases 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 which so many stifler life-long tortures, it has rarely failed to givo roliof, and in many cases to make permanent cures. It is not a drug, but a now combination of the two elements which make up our common air, giving oxygen in excess. It is taken by inhalation, and cures by natural and orderly processes-first, by eliminating tho excess of carbon which has accumulated in tho system ; and serondly, by a revitalization of all tho great nervous contros.
