A Tt; to Newbery.
The other day we took a trip to the
'Town of Newberry, and from thence, an
excursion into the tunous region once
Tamillaly known by the euphonious
name of Mollyhorn. Yc::s ag', there
was a young lady, a native of this part
of the country, of great beauty and in
telligence, who was distinguished by the
appropriate title of -the Rose of Molly
horn. We had the pleasure of a passing
visit tab the hospitable mansion of the
lady in question, now a blooming matron,
the wife of one of the most prominent
and honored sons of Newherry.
The crops in this District are generally
"cut short" by the Summer's drought.
There will be cotton enough made, how
ever, to bring, at the present high prices,
a good deal of cash into the coantry.
Very few will make a supply of corn.
The negro population of the District is
still much more nutnerons than the
whites, but it is stated that the number
has been reduced in the last year or
twb,byemigraticn and increased mortali
ty. about two thousand.
Newberry has an able and gentlemanly
Bar now, as herettfrc. From the
lawyers of the place, in times past, the
State has been furnished with Judges
and Chancellors of great eminence.
Judge O'Neall and Chancellor Johnstone
will be always famous for their peculiar
excellencies as juriats. G hancellorJanes
J. Caldwell lived but a short time after
his promotion to the bench. He had
great reputation as a lawyer, but did
not hold his office long enough to ac
quire distinction as a Julg . Newberry
has also been usually fortunate in the
character and qalitications of District
officers. A son of Ch,ncellor Johnstone
is the Gommissioner in Equity. iIe v as
preceded by Gen. Williano, at present
the worthy Senator of the District. The
Ordinary's office was long occupied by
Judge Wilson, who was considered a
model officer.' IIe was succeeded by E.
P. Lake, if we mistake not, now the
Clerk of the Com t, to which lattt r office
be was elected last spring, without op
position. Such is his deserved character
and good standing with the people. But
weare not going to give i history of
District officers; we are not familiar with
ail; we have only mentioned names that
bappcned to he prominent in our memory,
and acqu'intance. We were pleased to
learn, at Newberry, that the health of
Col. S, Fair is rapidly improvin_. ie
may be able to attend to his duties as
Solicitor before the Circuit Courts are
over. ie has been ill of a tever for a
month or more.
We found the railrcad making good
time, and punctual to its schedule at all
poiLts, and seemingly well managed in
every particular. We learn that Mr.
Brown, chiefof the work-shops.at Helena,
bad iesigned; and that Jas. Meredith h.as
been appointed in his place. Leaving
Newberry on Monday we feund, in the
cars,. Gov. Orr, on his return from
Columbia, where he had beer, on a visit
upon public business. The Governor
unites with his acknowledged abilities,
great faithfulness, industry and working
powers. The offce of Govcrnor with
him is no sinecure. We were pleased t o
learn that hris chi!dren, whose serious
illness lately hurried lim from Coiumbia,
are now recovering. We reachedGreen
yille too late to vote in the exciting elec
tion for Tax Collector and Ordinary, but
found our friends full of interest and
curiosity to hear from the Boxes.
.Before leaving Newberry, we called on
the editor of the Herald, and enjoyed a
brief and pleasant visit. We learned
that the mnaterials for the enlargement
* and mechanical improvement ofhis paper,
have been purchased for some time, and
will soon arrive. The Herald deserves,
and we hope will meet with liberal
patronage.-Greenville Enterprise.
TERRIBLE WARNING. -The following
are the particulars (taken from the Pitts
burg Catholic) of an item published anid
vouched for by the keading Pennsylvania
papers:
On Thursday, the 13th instant, a
prisoner in the Pennsylvania Penitentiary,
by the name of Holnes, was struck with
- apoplexy while giving utterance to the
most horrid blasphemies, and died next
day. The case was so rem-trkale that it
was reported in all the dailies -the same
week. A few days ago all the circum
Gances connected with the horrible alfair
were described to us, and w e gice them
almost w ord for word, as we received
them from several respectable parties,
Protestant as well as Catholic, and pos
bessing the best mneans of information.
Thompson (for lIlmtes was only an
assumed name) had] been several years,
-perhaps four or five, in the penitenti-ary,
having been convicted of horse stealiog.
Ile was possessed of a vigor.-us constitu
tion, and though an edluented aind intelli
gent mran, was a professed infidel, and
accustomned on all occasions, to use
language of a most profaneand blasphe
mous character. He was emnployed at
shoe-making, and on the fatal Thursday,
while engaged, entered into eonversation
on reli&ius subjects with the only other
prisoner in his cell, a Protestant, working,
at the same trade. Thompson asked] his
companlion) if his mother was a Christian ;
bein~g answered in the affirmnative, he
observed tha,t Christianity could be
proved from the Bible.
Thompson answered "The Bible is
hike an old fiddle, you can play any tune
you please uponr it." When reminded
h at at least the D)ivine character of the
Founder of Christianity was clearly set
forth in the Bible, Thompson asserted
with great vehemence, that "Jesus Christ
- was a bastard, and His Mother a-,"
a name wvhch-nere but the vilest ruffian,
would apply to even tWie mnos°rad68
woman. Thomnps~ had hardly given
utterance to trese -z,rjble words, when
his cell mate objserved that lie was falling
from the bench on which he sat, and,
catching him in his arms, gave the
alarm.
A physician wa'ssummoned immredia.e
ly, but the case was one beyond the
reach of medical skill. Some said the
poor man was attacked' by appoplexy,
others might suspect that he- had been
struck by the hand oif God. Ther~e, with
distended pupils, paisied tor gue and
rigid limbs, lay the wretched blasp)hemler.
After twenty-four hours spent in this
condition,. he passed to his final account.
BRAVE ExAMPLE FOR Boxs.-The Mo
bile Adsertiser tells of two lit;le boys,
children in size, who reached that city
recently, having walked from St. Clair
counts, among the mountains. They
left their widowed mother ill and desti
tute. and came in search of the work and
subistnce they cou!d not find at home,
THlE CONSTITU13AL AMENDMENT.
Senztor Sharkey, of Mississippi, has
taken the bull by the horns. Anticipa
ting the legislative session of his State,
he has written a letter to Governorlum
phreys concerning the constitutional
amendment, urging its rejection if pre
sented for ratification. lie gives the fol
lowing solid reasons for spurning it:
In the first place, it is not believed
that the amendment was recommended
by two-thirds of Congress, as a body so
composed is not the Congress of the
United States, a considerable number of
of States being excluced ;frou represen
tation. Any body of usurpers may as
well claim to be the Corgress of the Uni
ted States, and New York and Pennsyl
vania, for instance, may so manage first
to exclude one small State and another,
until they control the legislative power
of the nation, with equally as much pro
priety as the majority now excludes
States trom repre.entation. We cannot
be to'd that because we adopted the anti
slavery atpendment we recognized the
present Corngres" as constit:tional, for
we had not then elected or sent members
to the Congress which recommended it,
as we have done in the case of the pend
ing one.
No resolution can be communicated to
the States except through the Presiden{;.
and as the proposed amendment was not
submitted, it i, a nullity.
Another objection to the amendment
is, that while it prohibits the States from
abridging the pr ivileges or immrnirities of
citizens, it does not specify what those
p;i ileges cre, that being left to :ur;
gress, which is empowered to enforce
the article by aDpropriate legislation.
Congress may confer p,rivilegesy on one
class to the exclusi.n of another; or it
may assumne absolute control over the
people and their domestic concerns, and
thus %irtually abolish the State.
The second section, in regard to negro
suffrate, would probably exclude at least
one State fror representation, as the
number of male negroes over t-senty-one
is equal to th' number of white males.
The third, or disfranchi.ing clause, is
sweeping in its effect, for there are few
who have not in some way or another
taken an oath to support the Constitu
tion. Such a provision would be so con
trary to the theory of our Governinent,
and so oppressive toward a very large
class of the population of the Southern
States, that it cannot be supposed that
those who proposed it could have enter
tained a hope that it would be accepted.
They ought to have known, too, that
such a provi:sion was calenlated to en
danger the exi:tence of the Government,
as revolutions may always be expected,
soo,ner or later, from acts which disfi an
ehised the en franchised acts.
The flith section is the Trrojan Horse,
abournding in mischief. It p)rovides that
"C~ongress shall have power to enforce,
by appropriate legislation, the provisions
of this article," whrich may be construed
to a6thorize Congress to do whatever it
may desire to do. Should the amend
me~nt become a part of the Constitution
we shall hav-e a far ditferent Government
from that inherited from our fathers.
GE:CURAL JAIL DELITERY.-The pre
siding Judge, Solicitor, SherfanrdGranad
Jury will bc spared miuch trouble next
week, owing to the fact that during the
night of the 15th inst., the jail in this
town was emrpticd of all its occupants.
Seven prisoners, two whites. and five
negroes, escaped, leaving only two in
confinement. One of the latter is severely
wounded, and the other refused to ac
company the fugitives. Among those
who escaped are the two negroes, Belton
Cie, alias Williams and London Jones,
alias Adams, who so brutally murdered
Mr. A. D. W-'... of this, District on the
22nd day of last JuJy. Two whites,
Janeway, charged with horse stealing,
and Street, accused of larceny, also
effected their escape, together withi three
negroes under arrest for cow-stealing.
Thne Jail w-as restored to the civil au
thorities on the 13th inst. The miat
ter'demands a strict mnvestigatio n,-which,
we hope, will be rigpdly instituted.
P. S.-Since writing the above lines,
London has been captured near Broad
River', and has been placed in his old
quarters, from whence it is to be' hoped
he will not again escape. Nothing has
been heard of the rest of the f;ugitives.

LTAMrr.3LECA~sUrr.-Miss Ihannah
Moore, -a v-oiug lady residing in this
town, camz to her death, on the mnorning
of the 15th inst., under the following sad
circumstances. About 3 o'clock, A. M.,
she rose and stepped into the front
piazza of her residence, and while re
entering her bed-room, was shot twice
by ha brother-in-law, Mr. G. W. Teates,
under the impression that she was a
burglar. Medical aid was at once sum
moned, but the sufferer only survived an
hour after receiving the wounds.-Before
dying, she folly exonerated Mr. Teates
from any criminal inrtent. The deceased
lady was a native of Irelaind, about eigh
teen years of age, anrd had been residing
mn this country ahout ten months. The
family have been mi'ost sadi!v afriicted by
his 'melancholy occurrence, arid have
the symnpa:br of the- entire community.
The Jury of Ingnest returned a verdict
in accordance with the above facts.

MURDER.-WeC learn that on Thursday
night last, in the neighborhood of Salu
rity, in Pickens District, a young man
named JosEPHu WILL[.Ms, of this Dis
trict, was killed by a freedman. It seems
that the young man in comnparry with
others, visited the house of the freed
man, Cato Calhoun, for the purpose of
recovering~ a pistol belonging to the de
ceased, and which was in the p)ossession
of Ca to. Explaining the object of their
mission, the party demanded entrance,
when the door was openedl and the freted
man fired upon the party, the ball taking
efect in the breast of 1WILLuAs,who died
n a few hours thereafter. The murder
er made his escape, in the confusion
which ensued, and has not been app)re
hendied up to this writmng.-Anderson

OUR IIrE-By a proper taking of the
requirsite census, Mr. T. Garner has as
certained that there are now in actual
employment in this city seven thousand
tu o hundred andl twenty mechan.ics an~d
laborer's, including black and white. The
estimate was made about the 10th of

Apologetic.
We promised our friends and patrons
some time ago, to have enlar'ed our paper
long before this ; and it would have been
done, but for the following mishap. By
some unfortunate terror our material (paid
for six or seven. weeks a:,o) instead of bei ng
forwarded to our Agents in Charleston, as
directed, was shtippe-d *om Ph iladel phiia
per steamship Tonawanda, to care of rail
road agent, Savannah, whet e it had quietly
!ain for, we c.,nnot tell how long.
'ut it has come to hand, as o-n readers
will perceive by the eppearadee of our
paper, to-day. It was not the tautlt of parties
in Savannah that we did not receive it
earlier. It was detained by the rigid quar
antine regulatiuna between Charleston and
Saannah. As soon as our agents, Messrs.
Ilunt & Dro., of the former place, discovered
where it was, they had it shipped to us by
the most expeditious route. To them and
to Mr. J. M. Mytel, Forn d'g & Con.,
Merchant, and Gen. S:eanboat Agent,
Savannah, we are indebted for many
courteous attentions.
- --
We would respectfully direct attention to
the condition of the Court House steps
the railing on both sides being down. One
night last week, Mr. N. B. Knox, a citizen
of this place, falling from these steps, in
jured hiniself by receiving a painful cut in
the head.
PREs%N:TMxT.-The following is the pre
sentment of the Grand Jury for the Fall
T.-rm, 1866 :
We have examrined the public buildings,
and find the Jail well kept, but many of the
lights are broken in the wi:dowa, and a
large amount of the plastering has fallen
off. Alii of which is respectfndly ubmitted.
DANIE L GOGGANS, Foreman.
We regret to notice that, in conse
quence of injuries sustainedl by the acci
dent which occurred on the SpaMenburg
and Union R. R., on the 3rd inst., Gen.
A. C. Gairlington has been confined to
his bed since that time ; but we arc
peased to say that be will soon_.be out
again.
LOVELACE & WHIEELER.-W~e take es'
pedial pleasure in noticing this enterprising
firm. Suffering but lately by fire an almost
total loss, they are again afb.at upon the sea
of business life, with a store room as futll of
well selected goods as before. They work
with a will, and know no such thing as fail,
and steadily gaIn in public favor for re
ibility and accommodation. Their pur%
chases are always made with excecamig came
as to prices, which enables them to dispote
;f their goods artimoderate rastes and realize
the sucee,s which alwa~ys attends short
profits and q'tick salee. Another secret of
their success is that they advert;se largely,
and in this wceks issue will be found several
of their ear !s.
Dant Do It.
We regret to learn from the Anderson
papers, that a large number of the citizens
of that district have gone West.
There are obvious reasons why our peopko
as a general thing, should not migrate
should not leave tho ho:nes of their fathers
-endeared to them by the memories of
the past and life*long associations. We
will endeavor, in a future paper to express
ur views on this subject:
Bishop Davis.
Tne Righit Rev. Biishop Davis, of ine rrotest
ant Episcopal Diocese cf South Carolina, paid
this rarishi a visit last I'hur?day. Ile was acc-om
paied by an affectionate and accomplis~hed
dauhter
It was not hisregular pastoral vist. He passed
through here on his way to the uipper Paris'hes.
We regret to have found him so feeble in health.
The bilness, too. of our beloved Bishop lenids
an add:tional charm to his serene pale face, at
once so intelil-ctual and expressive, which teils
of an inward peace. and resignation; whil-- his
convers:ton evinces a mind fortifid not alone
by thelogical tesearch and an almost exhaust
ive crudin~on, but the richest .gems of spiritual
thoug ht, cultu:e an d d iscipline, that breathes of
love, gent ieuess and humnil ity.
Long may this noble ambassador of Christ be
spared to illume the Church and adorn society.

the murder of.ir. Lermmel Lane. Messrs. S

fence. Maj. Sube- and Simpson, for the S
proecuitioni. liise~d Dawkins was B
found guilty and s.:;tenced to be hanged it
on the first Friday in December. liooker Tj
Duckett, Posov, Davis, Gunter, and Lane, L
found guilty but appealed for a new trial. S
Armistead Cook, (cleared of the charge of al
a confederate in the murder, was reman
ded under an indictment for robbery. C
Th'ere being no evidence against Harvey C
Pratt, to his great joy and the satisfac- 1,
tin of the lawyers who aided in his S
difence, as well as the entire commu- 3
nitv, lie was discharged. C
As we were much pressed during the 13
week for time andi labor, we are unable C
to present.the history of facts discovered 3
in the melancholy Lane murder case. L
The pi'ose'cution and defence were con- ai
ducted with signal ability. rThe gentle- a
men engaged1 in this case displayed depth u
of thzought and culture, and an earnest, 'F
inipassioned eldiience. lnaeca, so far B3
as we werec permitted to listen to the ef
f~rts of the different A ttorneys engage<d c:
during the ses.ioni, we were~ persuiaded
that, for abili ty and zeal, the Bar
of Newberry would (10 honor to any c
cmmunity.~ While every effort was a
made "to bring the guilty to feel the
strong arm of the law," nothing was -
left tundone to defend the poor,
miserable pirisoners at the bar. And
Judge Aldrich's charges to a Jury while
they hol the "scales of justice" evenly hy
poised, are alvars merciful. The young T
memhers at the bar,for their legal attain- 51
mente, deserve a mieed of praise, and cer- v,
tainly they have it at our humble hands. c,
We learn that ant extra court is order- fa
ed for Newberry on the 3d Monday in p
November. n

to the opinion of one of the leading papers p
of Canada on thi" sub'ject: t

these are genuine humbugs. But there are g
a few respectable tirms who do bu-iness in ft
this manner, and they do it as a means of it
increasing thoir wholesale buIsiness, and not
to make money. Fronm such firms, it is true,

there is no doubt that some of the 'tirticles
are worth eight or ten times the money paid
for them, while we have not seen or heard ofC
a single article which was not fully worth D
