Stepping into the store of one of our leading dry goods merchants a few days back, oar eye fell upon numberless bolts ol bea uti ful ginghams --infinitely varied in their plaid pat terns and bright colors, and as smooth as muslin. ^ But upon taking hold of them-our mere eyes would have deceived us forever-we found them tobe too thick and solid for ginghams. They were what merchants and manufacturers call " Domes lies." Great and honest was our purprise. And still greater was our surprise mired with intens? pleasure and pride -when we discovered that they were the fruit of the new Sibley Mills in Augusta. This is enterprise-and honor ard worth and prosperity !-at our very doors. Indeed we may say AT HOHE ; for truly Augusta its home to all Edgefield ; and Augusta honor and enterprise are dear to Edgefield's heart. We know but little about man ufacturing matters and still lees about " Domestics," but this outcome of the Sibley Mills has set us to thinking. It is a revelation to us. And we begin to see.the time clearly when the cotton of the South will be manu factured at home. As regards the name " Bannock Mills," we find out that all great manufacturing establish ments adopt some such distinctive title-quite apart from the names of the men composing the company. So, fn future, when you hear of" Bannock Mills"-and it will very surely be come a household word-you may know that it means the great Sibley weaving concern in Augusta. And in conclusion let us say that we are not M puffing" the Sibley Mills. We have no card from them and do not know that we are even acquainted with any of the company. We were struck with unfeigned admiration by their 'beautiful goods ; and it gives us the greatest possible pleasure and pride to pay a alight tribute to Augusta enterprise. Expiration of the 47th Congress. On Saturday next, March 4th, the present Congress will expire. The . adjournment, we presume, will take place on Saturday night. There will bo an extra session of the Senate, but f none of Congress in a body. Capt. Dick Anderson Nominated for Major of the 3rd Regiment. At a military convention of the companies composing the Third Reg iment S. C. T., held at Greenville on the 20th Feb., Capt. J. W.

Three Experimental Farms. - The State Board of Agriculture propose to establish three experi mental farms in the State, one in the ?-jip-COUD try, ope in the low country, and-one ia the middle country, for - the pnrpose-of making experiments in farming. Col. Butler, Commis sioner of Agriculture, is now pros 'pecting for locations. Not to be a Retired Navy Officer. The Hon.

[_m__ No Eitra Session. There is a?nally no foundation for the rumors sent^om here at different times for the past ew weeks in regard jto an extra session ?f Congress. Every one knows that therevill bea special session of the Senate. Even if the tarin? bill fails to become a law the President willmot call an e.tra session of the House, for he like mary others * believes that no special harm will be done to wait until the time of the "regular session comes, in December cftxt.T->?? has been suggested to the ? President several times that he should i call an extra session of Congress should the tarin bill fail, but he has never indicated that he regarded the sug gestion of any value. Indeed, it is known that he has stated that there no special necessity for it.- 11 gion letter to Baltimore Sun. J ] For the Advertiser. ? Country Where Hen Carry Their Hearts in Their Left Breists. EmsTO, S. C., Feb. IC, 188 Messrs. Editors : Altar a Wandering Jew life of eight weeks, I sleep to-night for the first time under ray own shingles. And nov.-, in compliance with your ur gent request and my promise, and after being such an important factor in the events which have juut culminated, i ? will of necessity bc forced to use fro quently the personal pronoun Ego. This is from no egotism of mine, however and it may be pronounced of me, judg iug from my hurriedly written letter to night, that Ego sum, stultus. I care noth ing for this, though, as I do not presume for myself the gifts which go to make up a correspondent, and I write simply because yon requested and I promised and write M Paligmaty."-(don't consult Webster.) Many may not know that I, in the short space of one week, made up my mind, came down here, bought, sold, and was packing to leave Edgefield ; the latter event being accomplished from beginning to end in a drenching rain enough to break the spirit of any one horse fellow. Not once, however, did it even bend mine. And here I am, trans planted among strangers, who received me with ''open arms." Of course ] mean the men! All have been exceed' ingly kind to me and mine, which I ap prec?ate more than money. But as our mutual friend, "Capt. Joe," once said while suffering: "The half has never been written about colic." I reckon not; neither has it been about a change such as I have just made. With the many trials, Ac., that I have experienced, there have been pleasures also. These good people have been so exceedingly kind that T forgot much of the trouble, and I have found some new things-one of which is that some of these good people carry their hearts in their left breasts and not in their breeches " pockets. Of some people here, and this country, I want to and will, D. V., write in future, But before I quit this subject, lest some wrong construction? bo made, let me say without misrepresentation, that my most sanguine expectations are more than re alized. Wbat is in store for me I do not know, but I hope and pray for an hon orable and christian life, and money enough lor necessities. Churches and schools are convenient, but I have attended religious services but once. Then I heard the Rev. Mr. Lacroix, of Edgefield, and was delighted with the man, and simply carried away with the preacher, in all that goes to fi^ him in the discharge of such a calling. He does not allow any side-shows while his services and duties are going on. The congregation was large; and to say noth ing of the ladies, the men, two-thirds ol' them, wore as handsome as W. R. M., and tho otr .... one-third compared very favorably with Co.-Com. W. E. D., my friend. And they can teach a congrega tion or two in Edgelield what good sing ing is to a church. But all of these men must be poor indee d, or stingj'-too close to buy a pocket knife or pencil, for I lind not a mark of the knife on ?ny pew in the church ; nor have I been able to see where they have written their names, or drawn their faces, on any piece of church property. They ar? uot fashionable men either, for you cannot see them squirting their tobacco juico all over tho church, for ladies to wipe?op with dresses. This is so forcibly impresseed upon me, and with so much pleasure, that I aro obiigej} to writo it down for the information of some of my fast friends in Edgefield. I am busy trying to get things to rights, and having littie, and a short horse being easily curried, hope to get through soon. And the motives voluntarily assigned for my leaving good old Edgefield, the sarcastic wishes sent after rae, and all other nonsensical rumors made about me, so far from " face to face," to-the contrary notwithstanding, I am perfect} ly willing to dismiss them and proclaim) >^"Jaid*l|]iriwiiti V- :t-i, ni~iicJa?L^_iU|li| pressed mil mile, J earnestly ask that anjjj part or all o? my letter be refused spaa as you deem proper. Yours truly, j. s. MCKIE. For the Advertiser. Leesville and Its Educational Adran taget. Messrs. Editors : It wus my privilege to pass one hour in Leesville, Lexing ton County, last week, and I know of no town in the State so delightfully situ?t ed. It is on the C. C. & A. R. R., nearly midway between Augusta and Colum bia, on a table land as lovel as a prairie, high, dry and healthy, with a genial and mild climate. The buildings are stately, the sheets are broad and straight, with forest trees at equal spaces, symmetrical and beautiful, casting their shadows np on the level plain, A most attractive and delightful place to live, in my judg ment ! The residente! ti zens are Protest ant iu religious faith, and churches of respective denomi nat ions adorn and beau tify Leesville. A large two-story building, with cu pola-bell tower-pointing to heaven, at tracts attention. This grand building has recently been erected and dedicated to the cause of education, and is known as the Leesville English and Classical College Institute. The scenery and sur round inga aro beautiful, fronting the new portions of the town. The rooms for re citation are large and conveniently ar ranged ; the music department is sepa rate. This Institution of learning is un der the Professorship of the Rev. L. E, Busby, Principal, and Mr. J. G. Ether edge, an Edgelield man, Associate. The Music Department is taught by Mrs. S Smitbdeal, a diligent and accomplished lady. A board of Trustees, consisting of eight good citizens, Capt. A. P. West, another Edgefield man, Chairman, con trol the administration of the College. The number of pupils is about IOC, in eluding scholars from Orangeburg, New berry, Aiken, Edgelield and Lexington Counties, and some from the State of Florida. The Professors are men of high character and learning, and the prospects seem to assure success. The benefit?, th J State will derive are incalculable, know of no locality of moro attractions than Leesville; of no School better than this in the State. Send your children, and let them receive the benefits. _ _C. L. Auspicious for the carolina, Com berlandGap and Chicago. A petition was sent to the Town Council of Aifcen on Saturday the 17th Feb., by the Hon. James Aldrich, attorney for the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad Company, asking for permission to use certain streets in that place for the purpose of connecting the new railroad with the track of the South Carolina Rail way. Resolutionrf were adopted by the Council heartily endorsing the construction of the road and granting it the right of way asked for free ot cost. A resolution was adopted by the Council to the effect that the high character, business reputation and in tegrity of the officers of the company assure the early completion of the work. The route of the road lies through one of the most favored re gions in America, and recognizing the benefits that will result from the con struction or the road, the Town Coun cil of Aiken will cordially extend ?very facility within its power to idvance the interests of the enter prise. For the Advertiser. One Tear in Heaven The second month of another year is here, and will soon be lost In the chaos of ages. How many changes have come about in tho last twelve months ! How many heart? have boen bleat, how many been made desolate by the loss of dear ones! Among the many hearthstones saddened by death, is that of a loved and valued friend, in the loss of a dear and treasured daughter and sister, Mrs. MA RY ADAMS, relict of the gifted young lawyer and gallant soldier, Capt. CICERO ADAMS, and daughter of Maj. JOHN H. HUGHES, who died on the 16th February, 188?, in the 42d year of her age. Belong ing to a family proverbial for its un bounded hospitality, its kindness to the sick and suffering, to the poor and needy, our dear friend was a prominent mem ber. No weary or care-worn pilgrim ever crossed their threshold without tan gible aid and words of cheer and com fort. Devoted to the Church of her fa thers and her love-the Methodist Epis copal-she had been a worthy and cher ished member since her earliest youth. To her widowed mother she was com forter, counselor and support ; to her brothers, the idolized sister; to her sis ters, ar adviser and solace; to her moth erless nieces and nephews, a second mother in very deed. And now she has gone to her reward. One year in Heaven ! One vear in the city of our God, the Heavenly Jerusa lem, where the crystal fountains dow and the eternal hills are clothed in living green ! In the celestial Eden rich with fruitage of immortal growth, where the dowers never fade! One year in tho presence of her Saviour, of angelic hosts of the redeemed, of the Triune Majesty, where there is no more night, or suffer ing, or death ; where no more tears are shed, or burdened hearts are weary. The loving care of her tender mother, devot ed brothers, gentle and affectionate sis ters and loving nieces could not stay the hand of the fell destroyer, but God sent a tender and ministering angel from on high, who bore her to her homo above. One year in heaven ! She has boen re warded ten thousand fold, yea, ten thou sand times ton tbousaud, for r" l<or un told suffering hero. Peace to her loved and r ..mem ory ! It will be ever fresh aim green in tho hearts of those who loved her. S. A. L. For the Advertiser. Tribute of Respect to the Memory of Maj. A. J. HAMMOND.

THOS WAIT, Moii'r. J. J. BUNCH, Cl'k. Feb. 18th, 1883. The Ohio Flood. The damage by the Ohio floods to property is reckoned hyui^jrtBfc olated dwellings an<fl|0 Ks, as well as tow/j^>^re1ieved "rom tneff: ?PJTKas 10,000 people in urgent (fed. Lawrenceburg, aplace of about ? ,000 inhabitants, is practically swept way. When the water recedes and incov^B the area the town occupies, : t is considered questionable "wheth- i r a single house will remain tenant- i mle." The basis on which this con ecture rests must be considered am- . ile if it be trne, as reported irom the ocality, that "people move about in kiffe, searching for their homes, and .nxiously feeling below the surface if the water with rods and poles to ^certain if their houses lave with tood the floods and remain in posi ton. " Some eight hundred heads of amilies in Lawrenceburg are depriv d of their only source of income, .ud for the time being are absolutely lependent upon charity forthe neces dries of life. Distress and want ap >ear on every side. The damage wrought in Louisville involves dis rees to several thousands. Jefferson rille, a place of 10,400 people, oppo ite Louisville, is very nearly obhter tted by the flood. Four-fifths of this own are under water and at least '?,000 of its inhabitants are without loines and personal effects beyond he clothes they wear. Half the bu siness men of the place are ruined inancially. 'There were situated here extensive car-works, glass works and shipyards, employing 2,500 hands, nost of whom are now made depen lent upon charity for sustenance. Mew Albany, a city ef 10,400 people, ikewise opposite Louisville, is also n a bad condition. Over 300 resi dences are overturned, factories are stopped, and business is brought to a standstill. The overflowing water jxtends beyond the city rearward tome four miles, taking in several su jurbs. Lower New Albany, Port [Inion and Falling Run are reported is "absolutely wiped off the map." Th" loss in the larger town is placed it $1,000,000, and some 11,000 home e-s people are reported huddled into dose, uncomfortable and necessarily mb eal thy quarters, many of them icantily clad, the large majority pen niless, and all out of employment, with no prospect for work for some veeks to come. A great many have ost nearly all of their household el ects and nearly all are dependent ipon public charity." Aurora loses ?00 houses. Clarksvil e is under wa ;er and half the town ii washed iway. Hendentown and North Rend ire submerged to the roofs of the louses, with what results to the peo Die in the loss of property may be magined. To be added to the losses rom the flood are the depredations if "pirates," who plunder partialiy looded and abandoned houses and ;ven steal the ropes by means of which t is sought to prevent dwellings from bating away. As is ueual when nultitude8 of people are thrown to gether in uncomfortable and un tealthy quarters, with insufficient md unwholesome food, disease con ributes its share to the terrors of the ituation. While the water was up t alone destroyed. Now that it has allen and exposed the moist earth, lotted here and there with puddles irarmed in the sun, malarial and ther fevers ensue. 2*.

They Set Fire To Hie Missouri Peni tentiary and Endeavor to Escape. ST. LOUIS, Februaiy 23.-A tele gram to the Post JDisjiatch, from Jef ferson City, says the convicts in the penitentiary had just returned to their shops from dinner to-day when a preconcerted mutiny broke out in the harness shop of Jacob utrausa & Co. Four convicts seized Vau Horn, foreman of the collar nhop and told him to remain quiet. Four other con victs seized Snider, foreman of the harness shop and stripped him of his clothes. John B. Johnson, the ring leader, a highway robber serving a sentence of twelve years, ran into the department where horse collars are stuffed and set a lot of loose straw on fire. In a moment the building, with its three shops, harness, collars and whip, was on fire. Great confusion ensued. The guarda ran in with the hose and were met by the convicts, who cut the hose. The ringleader, Johnson, then made an eflbit to escape over the walls, but despite the fact that he had a knife and club, he was captured and put in a dungeou. His seven companions were also confined in dark cells. The fire was got uuder control, but not until the following shops were completely destroyed : Strauss & Co.'s harness shop, collar shop and whip factory-loss, $100, 000 ; Grenock's boot and shoe shop, $30,000; the State weaving and the State machine shop, $40,000. and the Excelsior Loom Factory, $20,000. The total loe3 with damage to minor State buildings w.ll reach $."00,000. The Fate of Marsh T. Polk, CHATTANOOGA, February 21.-A gentleman who visited Colonel Marsh T. Polk yesterday in the Nashville jail says that he can scarcely speak above a whisper, that he has* not eaten anything since last Tuesday, and that if confined in jail he would not live more than x month. It is thought that he can not live more than six months even if taken out of jail and afforded all thc neces.wy comforts, so completely had his sys tem been depleted. It was also stated thatthe stench arising from the river into his cell was insufferable, and that this alone wa3 enough to keep one tick. Congressman Caldwell of this city says he will die in twenty days. It is understood thst Colonel Polk's bondsmen have agreed to settle Colonel Polk's liabilities by the pay ment of $200,000 in " new issue." A New Comet.
