NEWBERRY, S. C.
Wednesday Morning, September 12,1866.
"Hope" and "Home" will be inserted in a
short time, at present our space is limited,
The Governor's Message
Appears in our paper to,-day. It will repay
careful perusal.
RACPS & BABBEcUE.--There will be racing
next Tuesday at Mr. Jack Hair's race course, at
11 o'clock . Also a fine barbecue by Dr. Epting.
Broad River Bridge Completed.
We are gratified to learn that the trains
on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad will
commence running to-day and henceforth
regularly over Broad River Bridge at Alston.
Two handsome little papers, the Cheraw Ad
vertiser and Florence Gazette, have reached our
sanctum to-day for the first. time. The former
,by James and H. C. rowell, and the latter by
J. P. Chase and W. A. Brunson. Success to
them both and the sections they represent.
We acknowledge the reception of the
American Farmer for September, published
at Baltimore Md. This is one of the best
magazines for the farmer and planter that
we know. The present number is full of
interest and worth the price of a year's snb
scription.
We are pleased to state that Capt. Pay%
singer and Mr. Edward Peterson have re
turned from Charleston, whither they were
taken some time since by military authority.
These gentlemen, we learn, received very kind
favors at the hands of Messrs. Willis & Chisclm,
Mr. Purcell, of the Mills House, and Col. T. P.
Slider. We hope that friends going to Charles
ton will remember these kindnesses.
An Apology.
In consequence of the forced smallness of
our paper (the new materal not having ar,
rived) and the great demand upon our
- columns for advertising matter and State
papers, we cannot publish the legislative
procedings. But as the greatest interest will
be felt in the final labors of the legislature,
we shall publish the list of acts as soon as
they appear.
Personal.
We had the pleasure of a visit ye.eterday from
our talented young friend Capt. H. L. McGowan,
of the Laurensville Herald,who-has just returned
from a short visit North, whither he had gone to
recruit his health. He looked really handsome,
and one would hardly suppose, to look at him,
that he suffers from the effects of a painful bullet
wound through one of his lungs, received at the
battle of Savage Station.
Greenville & Columbia Rail Road.
The Greenville Enterprise, in reference to
this road, says, that the bridge over Broad
river having been completed, and the train
running through, important changes by its
energetic Pr-esident Hammett, will be soon
made, in the reduction of freight rates, and
a chiange made in the running schedule, by
which much time will be saved by the pas,
.senger. This is cheering intelligence. After
the long inconveniences,high rates of freight,
and high prices of goods and provisions, all
those interested in th& road will hail a
-change for the better with relief. In antici
pation of this decline in freights, prices
have fallen in Greenville, corn to $2 per
bushel, and bacon in small lots at 21 cents
per ponud.
Revival Item.
We make the following interesting extracts
from a private note:
"To-day, (11th Sept.) I received 9 wh ites
into the church, and 23 colored by Baptism.
I came yesterday, from Frog Level, where a
most powerful revival is in progress, in
which I have participated for several days.
It is a Union meeting. The Methodist,
Lutheran and Associate Reformed churches
are there represented by the following mnin,~
isters: Rev's. J. B. Traywick, M. M. Boyd,
J. M. Boyd, Zimmerman, T. S. Boinest,
J. A . Sligh, J. N. IIawkins and J. C. Boyd.
To be there you connot tell that christians
of varions names are engaged in the meeting.
Scores have already professed conversion and'
each of the chamches have received a number
of accessions. God be thanked for christiau
union. I am glad to state to you as a friend
of Christ's that in the meetings in which I
have par:icipated about two hundred and
fifty have professed conversion. A note
from Frog Level states that forty-five have
joined the Church, together with sixty
conversions."
Messrs. Lenlgnick & Sell.
Importers and wholesale dealers in Millinery,
Straw and Fancy Goods, Charleston, S. C. We
take pleasure in calling the attention of our
readlers, far and rear, to the yard of the above
named firm. From what we hear about their
beautiful emporium or "garden of fashion," we
are all but inclined to follow the example of the
good queen of Sheba, (who went to see King
Solomon's temple, on the strength of the reports
she heard concerning its splendor,) and go to
Charleston specially to view Messrs. L. & S.'s
labyrinth of elegant goods, where bonnets, hats,
ribbons, flowers, feathers, veils, niches, laces,
crapes and silks, are to be seen in endless vari
ety, and of the latest and most beautiful designs
and finish. These gentlemen import from the
best markets of the Old World, and for richness
of fabric, and delicacy and loveliness of tint,
their goods are unsurpassed.
Messrs. C. A. Lengnick and Ed. Emerick Sell,
who have been residents of the " city by the
sea," since early youth, are the gentlemen
who compose the tirm ; with both of whom
we are personally acquainted, having sojourned
in our town at brief intervals during the war,
and take pleasure in recommweneing them for all
these virtues which constitute the houorable
ciUmi and mioma m2rchant.

Exchanges state the belief that the great
meteoric shower of 1833, will be repeated
this year, that Prof. Newton of Yale college
declares that a prodigious flight of meteors
will take place on the morning of the 13th or
14th of November next, Look out for it.
A lot of land, six and a half acres, in the
village of Belton, says the Anderson Appeal
was sold on sale-day last, and only realized
fifteen dollars. A convincing proof of what
may be expected,if some relief is not afforded
by the Legislature.
We regret to notice a-reduction in the size

A PLEIAsANuT LIFE TO LEAD.-The gen
tleman w~ho gives the following account of
himself lived till recently on the dividing
ine between Mexico and Texas:
I have had a plantation in the harbor of
Mazatan (on an island); received 24 pound
shells through my house and 12 pound shot
longside; have been annoyed in every con
eivable manner possible. My peons ran off;
my cotton crop and sugar cane destroyed;
some 6,000 tomato plants eaten by the worms
(I was shipping tomatoes to California at 50c.
per pound-$1,000 loss of plants); and fi
ally three different attempts to assassmnate
me in one week. The cursed French have
had me prisoner in Mazatlan five days at a
time, and the other side robbed me of all my
arms-two revolvers, one rifle and double,
barreled shot gun. I have, through all this,
had the coast fever or callentura for six
months; most of the time delirious; and al
together have passed through more during
the year than in all my life combined.
WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER RAIL
RAD. -Visiting the shops of this fine Com
pany recently we were shown a magnificent
new engine, called "H. T. Peake," after the
gentlemanly and indefatigable Superintenl
dent of the South Carolina Rail Road. We
were much pleased with the compliment paid
adeserving officer, and the good will, this
respect shown to another Company, exhibits.
A fellowship of interest and .feeling must
beget harmony of action that willbe mu,tually
beneficial. The-superior advantage of the
Sea-board route must always make it popular
with travelers. Energy and enterprise will
yet make our lines of rail roads,.remunerative
property. With the river bridged, and the
connection through Petersburg effected, we
expect yet to see passengers carried from
Aquia Creek and Portsmouth to Mobile and
New Orleans at great speed and with much
omot-iligo Journal.

Let us improve the season, and the circum

geyof turnips, rye, and other winter crops.
As,gpeparewell and sow liberally of your

etheablty of the country to feed its inhabitan ts

unturned to effect this oibject.-KeoWee Courier.
The New York Citizen says that Mr.
>rme, the editorinchief of the Journal of
Commerce, is devoting himself to prepara
tions for writing the "History of Jerusalem."
It is a curious fa3ct t.hat no such work yet
exists, and that a city which has played so
great a part in the life 'f civilization still
..wits a competent chroti,.ler of its varied,
pitumatl and !mposing fortunes.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Mr. J. G. Lindsay, a
well known merchant of Yorkville, S. C.,
w!: arrived in this city by the South Caro
lina Railroad, on Thursday, and put up at
the Mills House, fell from the 'hird story of

Andrew Johnson said the other day at a
way station in New York, where be was ent
thusiastically greeted by a large crowd, that
he was, for saving the Constitution and the
country, and if anybody's party come in
conflict with it, the party might go to the
devil or anywhere else. He did not stop to
consider what party was to be taken care of
before the country. He had always been on
the Constitution and the Union, he still stood
there, and he was going to fight it out on
that line. If anybody can improve that
speech, we should like to see it.
SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTER.-A lady who
is a famous housekeeper, says the Eufaula
News, recommends an economical plan for
making cake without butter, which may be
useful to our lady readers. Take a piece *of
fat salt pork, melt it down, and strain it
through a piece of coarse thin muslin. Set
it aside until cold. it is then white and firm,
and may be used like butter in any kind of
cake. In pound cake, she assures us, it is
delieious. She says after one trial she never
used butter.
There is an organization of freedmen in
this place, says the Cheraw Advertiser,

buggy, which has been left here subject to
the demand of the owner.

let the third bring surveyors' lines and re,
mark and ressettle the laud.
The Mayor o' Memphis recently called
the Board of Aldermen a "set of d--d
thieves." He afterwards took it back, ex
csing himself by stating that he was "la
boring under excitement." This excitement
is produced at various places in Memphis,
for twenty-five cents, and is said to be pleas,
ant to those who "take sugar in theirn."
The Parris Kentuckian says :Never, per
haps, in the memory of the oldest inhabi
tant, has there been such a prospect for corn
in this and adjoining counties. Douglas P.
Lewis thinks he will raise 25 barrels per acre
on a portion of his land.
The Harrisburg, Pa.. papers tell of a man

Goon STATE RIGHT DOCTRINE.-Mr. Se
ward, in a short address delivered in New
York City last week, made the following re
mark:
In the city and State of New York the peo
ple should be faithful, first to their wives.
then to their children, then to their city and
State, and then to the countr.
The story that Mrs. John C, Breckinridge
has lately given birth to twins is only
half true.

labor in ilinois-it is so much cheaper.

FOR THE HERALD.
MzEMus. EDrroRs-In the present condition of
our State, I believe it the duty of every citizen
not only to think but to express his thoughts,
thiat by considering the various plans sggested,
we may be able to hit upon some meth to gve
vitality to our struggling, gasping country. Let
me suggest as one means the following : let the
Legislature, if competent to do so, vacate every
office in the State. If not let a convention be
ordered on tne question of the iudebtedness of
the people of the State. Let said convention be
instiucted to vacate all offices and reduce the
salaries of all officers to one-third of the present
amount. Then to carry out the plan,let working
men be elected- to fill the various offices, and let
the aristocracy who have for so long a time mis
governed the State, be turned adrift to find their
proper level without extraneous aid. As the last
convention emancipated the negroes, let the pro
posed convention compensate the owners at the
market price, say $59o each, rhich was about
the market price at the time of the surrender.
To effect this let the State charter a bank for 21
years, and suffer no other bank or bank agency
in the State during that period. Let this bank
issue legal tender notes sufficient topay for the
negroes, and buy the present erop of cotton,
which can be suld for specie to be placed in the
vaults of the bank. If the State is able, let her
borrow one-third the amount necessary, if not
deposit bonds to that amount with the bank for
security Let the people be taxed for the sup
port of the government, and to pay the interest
of the loan or bonds sold or deposited, which
cannot be paid from the profits of the bank.
This plan will I think free the people from debt,
enhance the price of land at least 5:0 per cent.
above present prices. and render the State inde
pendent in five years. This too will give us jus
tice. As the State freed the negroes, she should
pay for them. But if the State refuse compensa
tion, sweep away all evidences of debt prior to
the surrender. If the convention had a right to
take one species of property she has an equal
right over every other.

ART AsSoCIATioN.-The past week has been 2
fruitful one for this .widely-spread e rit.
Our exchanges from every quarter are ftld with
notices of its success. Its advertisements; which
are on a scaie surpassing in general extent any
thing which has been attempted by even Ameri
can enterprise before, oceupy pages of the New
York press. A correspondent writing of its sue
cess in New York, says : "The office reminds'
me of a railroad ticket office a few minutes be
fore the departure of the train."
The feeling of personal interest in Mr. Crosby
seems to pervade the whole country. Every little
town or vi.llage has its one or more clubs, and
we understaisd that the rapid sale of certificates
throughout the country is in a measure to be *t.
tributed to the cordial support of the National
Banks,the Presidents and Cashiers "of which a're
its most numerous and effoient agents.
Another large club has been organized here
upon the plan of that of the e. and tele"
graph men. It is to be comp exclusively of
railroad and steamboat men. They have secured
1,0'0 certificates. - -
The pork packers have also a club of 59) nearly
filled. The Young Men's Association are form'.
lug a large club. The Chamber of Commerce
club is fall. Several Board of Trade clubs, hold
ing a large number of certificates, have been
I filled, and others are in progress. Activity in
this line seems to increas' with each week.
These movements are rapidly taki up the
certificates all over the country, and sing
the happy consummation of a scheme which has
in it more interest, novelty and spirit, than any
thing which has engaged public attention witbin
our recollection.
As many of our readers may not be awa-e of
the unusual inducements offered by thfs Associa
tion, we give the following synopsis:
The Association will issue to its members 210,
0 0 tickets, at $5 each, entitling the holder to
one or more of the first class engravings after
