Prof. Ta tum, who comes among us with exceller: testimonials, is a teacher of the element of thorcugh-bass, or in plainer Englisl the very ground-work of musical selene and composition. What be teaches is ab solutely necessary to musical intelligent and e?ciency. Without it, all playing singing and composition is in a great dc gree a Poll Parrot business. Prof. Tatum Bystem ;s an admirable one, and of bis em nent success in imparting this sort c knowledge, ther" is no doubt. We bc speak for Prof. Tatum a goodly class i Edgefield.

The rite of ordinatio was performed by the Right Rev. W I W. Howe, Bishop of the Diocese, assiste by the Rev. John Johnson, rector of S Philips. Mr. Barnwell is mach belove and highly prized by hit, people of Ridg Spring and Trenton, and bids fair, even i earryVyoutb, to attain a very high plac in our Episcopal ministry. He is a so ot the late Rev. Robert W. Barnwell whose services at Charlottesville, Va during the civil war, all Carolinians wh were in tho army of Northern Virgini will remember-and a grandson of th Rev Wm H. Barnwell, once rector of S Peter's Church, in Charleston. Dwelling House Barned. On Sunday night last a dwelling hone belonging to Mr. J. W. Bartley, one mi] North ol Johnston, was destroyed by fin The house was built by Mr. Bartley an formerly occupied by him, but more rc centlv occupied by School Commission*. G. W Lott. The house had been uno< cupied for two or three days-a vacanc incident to one tenant moving out an another moving in-and there can scarce ly be any other theory for the origin c the fire than that of incendiarism.

Still Says: '* tome." CABOT, ARKANSAS, Dec. 12, '84. MESSES. EDITORS : I noticed in last week's ADVERTISER, in your editorial concerning Arkaneas, that " it were infinitely wiser io the yoong men to stay where they were-and work hard"-and I ask you the questio^ fjr whom must they work? Must they stay in Carolina and work for those who have homes, and never be able to get a home of their own ? No, I think not; it is infinitely wiser for them to come West, where they can get land at a mere song (and land that ?B far superior to that of Caroli na) and where it can be bought with out ready cash-with plenty of time to pay for it. Why, Messrs. Editors, South Carolina is getting like old Ire land ; lew own land, nod thofe lew own it all; and I think it wise in any young man to leave, who hae no borne in Carolina, when be can have the many advantages the West gives to those seeking homes. I can Bay to the young men of Carolina, who have but a sjaall sum, if they come here they can be the happy owners of a little home in a little while. I speak from my own experience. I have lived in South Carolina, " and worked hard" and the best portion of my life has been wasted trying to get a start. Now I am in the WeBt, and my chief tegret is that I d:d not come sooner. " see the many advantages here I d-d ^TPt-^^o '.wtj?j^?ManiL^?iAJnii?l?r .of cour a - I am glad tfH ffP?R tie poor b oft^^r^WrgefaeTcL W h ile I love old Edgefield, as much as any State loving citiz-n ought, yet ? know it is to the interest of all of her poor sons to come West, that they may be self sustaining, and lay up a little for a rainy day. If they stay in Carolina, at.d could get a paying position, when they have saved money enough to buy a little home, they could be called no longer young. There is the trouble. Life is short, and in order to get a start, so they can enjoy it, they will have to come WeBt. " For time is the warp of life, And the young should weave it well." EDWARD C. LOMAN.

Better Than Foreign Port. Speer's Port Grape Wine is better than Imported Fort, and bas taken its place. It is pure, and really excellent and health-giving.-Troy Times. . Members of the Board of Health, of New York, and other prominent physi cians, use this wine for their patients and in their own families, much on account of the iron contained in it from the soil on which Speer's vineyards are situated. -Tribune.

The Georgia Pacific Railway commenc ed December 14th to mn solid passenger trains and ' Mann boudoir and buffet sleeping cars from Atlanta to New Or leans, without change, making the quick est time ever made between these two cities. Just think, to leave Atlanta 1:27 p. m. you are in Now Orleans at7:0? -t morning. The new sleeping car referred to on tnis route is something new in this coun try. They have been in use in Europe, and are very popular. These cars are divided in compartments and will ac commodate two to four passengers in each compartment. It has been tested and found|that?a majority of the travel ing public prefer thc.1-? cars to any others tried. The ventilation in these cars is so perfectly arranged as to at all times se cure absolutely pure atmosphero, free from smoae or dust. The buffet will af ford a reasonable supply of delicacies, wi ih fresli hot tea, coffee and chocolate. Electric bells connected with each berth. Adjoining the ladies' dressing room is fie ladies' boudoir; this is reserved for ladies traveling alone-without escort. The adjoining boudoirs are for families and parties who may desire to go to gether. All of these cars are lighted with gas, thus securing greater degree of safety, etc. The regulations under which the cars will be operated are calculated to secure to passengeis the highest degree of luxurious ease, combined with such personal freedom or seclusion as may be consistent with the proprieties of a thor oughly first-class hotel. This line oilers inducements to the traveling public. They will reserve your berth and give you number of same ten days in advance. No'other lino from Atlanta can do this.
