On Saturday afternoon last, his Honor, Judge Hudson, pronounced the follow ing sentences. And these very sentences will reveal the work of the lirst week. The amount of business dispatched, prove? that there is a quick head and ""hand on the bench ; and the number of convictions does in i'm i te credit to the zeal of Solicitor Bonham. These are the sen tences: Thomas Dorn, convicted of the kill ing of Bill King, another negro, hard labor in tho State Penituntiary for live years. Lawrence Caiu, convicted ot* arson burning the gin-borta of Mr. Albert King-hard labor in the State Peniten tiary for M^S*" " Spencer'TSimkins, convicted of inali eIou>^rrtischief-shooting a mule-hard Dr in Penitentiary for two years.

Three colorod men, Ned Still, Kemper Parks and Jack Carter, convicted of steal ing cotton, were not sentenced, pending a move for ?. new trial. On Monday morning, the 12th, the Court met at 10 o'clock, and after con siderable delay in organizing tho jury of the second week, procaeded to the trial the three negroes who .ttempted to >ur?p our jail in January last. These ^e Spencer Simkins-sentenced as above, Tn another case-Ben Jonen and Elbert Williams.

This route will go into praetical^operation on the 1st Jul)'. Churches at McCormick. Taroagh the kindness of the owner of the McCormick mine, lots for the build ing of church edifices, have been donated to the Methodist and Baptist denomina tions.

This looks as if the young doctor would soon be at home. Return of Senator Butler. Senator M. C. Butler returned home on Saturday last, and will remain for come little while. He looks well ; and tells us that inasmuch as his daughters will be at school in Washington until midsummer, and return to school in September, it is somewhat probable that his family will not return to Edgefield th?3 year. Capt. George Lake. The disbanding of the U. S. Senate brings alio to his home Capt. George B. Lake, whom everybody is glad to wel come. Capt. Lah..- wrote us some good letters while in the national capital, and we shall miss his valuable help in this line A Lexington Man. A Lexington man now a citizen of Edgefield-and an acquisition to our eil i - zeaship upon which we may all congratu late ourselves. We allude to Mr. J. Cal, Drafts, whom the March term has drawn to our tow?., and whose acquaintance we have been exceedingly pleased to make. Two years ago Mr. lirait s left Lexington, and bought a home in Rinehart Town ship, in the immediate vicinity of Ether edge's Store-or Kmard's, Our beloved friend, Mr. Joseph Mci who lately left Edgefield and settled in a very favored section of Aiken County, has been back to see us during the present Court. And God grant the day may nev er fall when he will not come back to see us. Indeed, by means of the South Caro lina Railroad and the C. C. & A.

Superintendent, Trustees of Church property, Church Sec retary, and members. J. B.TRAYWICK, P C. Denny's X Roads, March 8th, 1S83. New Cloud's Creek Church. On Ta??day last, we had a very pleas ant visit from our honored friend, the Itev. Mahlon D. Padgett, who, in these days, very seldom comes to our town. Mr. Padgett informs ua- and we regard the fact as an extremely happy one-that the Cloud's Creek church organization known in old time? as Weat Creek-have erected a new building to the worship of Almighty God. This new building-large and coramodioua-is to be dedicated on the 4th Sunday in the present month; and the Rev G. F. Williams, of Ridge Spring, will preach the dedication sermon. Other clergymen, incfuding Mr. Padget^ who is pastor of the cnurcb^Airrrrtepre3 ent. Besides the dedication ceremonies and sermon of the forenoon, there will also be services in the afternoon, lt is a matter of great and high rejoicing to see new and worthier templer lo tho Living God thus rising here and there in our County. Batesbnrg's New Preacher. Kev. J. K. Pace, lately of Mayesville, Ky., has accepted the invitation of the Batesburg Baptist Church to become its pastor, and will shortly return to South Carolina, where he has so many friends. Mr. Pace will devote one week in each month to missionary work in Lexiugton County, m the employment of the State Board. We are rejoiced that Batesburg has secured so valuable a man, who will be cordially welcomed to his new home. A New Presbyterian Church. It gives us the profoundest pleasure to chronicle the fact that a new Presbyterian church will, in all probability, spring up in our Southern borders very soon. The leadera in this good move are Mrs. Simp son and Mrs. B. R. Tillman. Mrs. Simp son is a widowed sister of the Hon. G. D. Tillman, and lives at the old Tillman homestead on Fox's Hill^ And very near this old homestead the new church will be located. We understand t?at Capt. Ben Tillman, Capt. John C. SweareDgin, John A. Wise, Esq., and the Hon. G. D Tillman have already subscribed liberally to this most praiseworthy undertaking. For eight or ten months past, the Kev. ? L. Morris, of Trenton, has been preach ing one Sunday afternoon in each month in the old Tillman-homestead locality sometimes in the Hussar Pavilion. And to his zeal, ably seconded by Mrs. Simp son and Mrs. Tillman, is 'lae the promis ing effort now being made. Looking After Ills Fences. Senator M. C. Butler, after illustrating South Carolina right nobly at Washing ton, has returned to Edgefield for a few weeks to look after his fences-not politi cal, but agricultural ones. The sight of his old Edgefield home and neighbors has a tonic effect upon him. The grandeur of the Federal Capital is not to be compared in his mind with the pjainest prospect in South Carolina.-Augusta ''nronime. Carp. The carp fever has reached the Mine Creek section, Mr. Thomas Whittle being the pioneer. He already has his pond stocked with two-pounders from Capt. .Kates' pond, at Batesburg. Olherd are literally "moving the mud" in the fish pond matter, and ere long the man who cannot boast of his carp pond will be the man who has no mud hole lo scoop out. And we say, go on with your fisherier, and lot this be the motto of every farmer m South Carolina: More com and less colton; more carp and less carping.-Mon itor. Faithful Road Overseers. The road from the Batesburg line to Cloud's Creek has recently been worked and is new iu better condition than at any time within the memory of the oldest in habitant. Mr. A. C. Whittle ?3 Overseer from Batesburg to Holston's Cross Koads, and Mr. Press Maroney from tLe latter point, to the Creek and the admirable manner in which they have performed a most difficult tass-for this is one of the worst section? of roads in the county shows that Commissioner Wise very wisely placed the right men in the right places,-Monitor, ! For the Advertiser. TOUCHES FROM TRENTON. March has proven to bo a wolf in sheep's clothiug. j The prospects for a fruit crop are grow j iug gloomy. Small grain is donning .a thick coat of green and we may hope for good results. The ploughman is busily turning the sod in preparation for cotton 'and corn, and many farmers will have finished plant ing the latter in the course of a few days. Colds of almost, malignant type have prevailed with us lately; and amongst the attendant inconsequences, it maybe noted that our new but famous ho.<telrie, The'Oeean Branch, so admirably situat ed for sunshine and sea breezes, has been turned into a hospital, and^^of its guests are upon the sick list, while ^js jolly and corpulent landlords, Messrs.

John C. Cahill, of phosphate fame, is spending a while with us, he having sold out his entiro interest in thc miniug business to his partner, Major Wise. He will soon embark in a similar enterprise again, however: and although his health demauds ro?t, his untiring energies will not permit him to remain idle. Major Abram Jones, while riding in a wagon from town to his residence a few days ago, was thrown backwards upon tho ground by a sudden lurch of the vehicle, and seriously injured; and though his condition is favorable for a speedy recovery from the effects of thc accident, he is still confined to his lied. Quarterly Meeting commenced at the Methodist Church on last Saturday ; and on Sunday nervices were held in tho Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches besides. Miss BessieJAdams has been elected by the Trustees of the Hatcher Pond school as their teacher-an excellent se lection. I predict for Miss Adams abun dant success in her newly chosen profes sion. By far the most notable event that has lately occurred in our society circles was the marriage on the evening of the 2lst IUti mo, at the Episcopal Church, by the Xcvds. E. T. Walker and S. L. Morris, if Mr. A. H. S Day and Miss Wenona ?ia}'. Tho illness of your correspond it immediately afterwards prevented j?im from furnishing you with the de tails of this unusually interesting and mpressive ceremony; and while it is too ato to do so at present, yet 1 hope my lincero and heartfelt congratulations and >est wishes for the prosperity of the hap ly couple, are in due season. The many graces and virtues of the beautiful bride are well known ; while as for Aleck, per mit me in this plain, blunt manner to sa}', that no nobler, truer, manlier or more honest heart over beat under a waistcoat, than his. Standing first in his classes os a school boy, first ct the count er and desk as clerk and accountant, end first when upon his own resources, amongst successful business men, he will stand always first in tho relation of husband, kiusman and neighbor. GRANDMA. Trenton, Mar. 13, 188?,. Yarn Factory Burned Last Saturday night the yarn fac tory of Searles & Dallas, situated on Little River, in Abbeville county, S. C , together with forty bales of cotton in the seed, and about $500 worth of yarn* was totally consumed by fire. The fire originated from a 8 ove in the mill which was 6ed for heating purposes.

Mr. Thoman was born in Ohio, is a prom inent lawyer and Jeffersonian Demo crat and ia only 32 years of age. The United States Supreirie Court have decided in the Alabama case that one State canuot sue another, and that the United States Courts can not direct State officers to levy or col lect taxea for the payment of any debt. This decision settles the South Carolina debt question. This decision is conservative in its tendency, and is founded on the law and precedents of the past. The board of trustees of Vanderbilt University will probably add to the faculty ol that institution, the South ern poet Paul H. Hayne. Ben Hill, Jr., son of the late Sen ator Hill, is confined'to his bed with paralysis of the vocal cords and can not speak. He uses a writing pad, as his father did last summer. Dr. Calhoun, attending him, is quoted as saying that he will not recover. Mr. W. B. Cash, son of Colonel E. B. C. Cash, candidate for Congress in the last election, arrived in town last Saturday and is still here, stopping at Nicholson's Hotel. It is rumored that he is in search of evidence against Barties here for election irregularitiep. t is not improbable that Coionel Cash will contest the S6at of Hon. J. J.
