Our young townsman, Leland M. Speers, has conceived and executed the drawing fb a monument to be erected here to the mem nry of Newberry's gallant sons who par tMipated in the immortal revolution of 1861. We have seen the drawing. it is of faultless design -we speak of it a fait accompli. The plinth and spire, " - 22 feet high, of the purest Italian marble, - and upon a neat granite base. On the Mable base, a scroll bears the names of - .fiments that were represented by compa, akn from Newberry. On the face of the p#iMth (each of the four sides alike) the emn of the dead, and on the shaft imme .y aly under the colors, complete rolls of -#pales at the time of their consolidation. 6 'the'eentre of the obelisk, between the colrs' and a wreath, encircling three stars, - nmames of the field officers. The monn ment handsomely capped and containing a -it with "Newberry", in raised letters. The whole surrounded with a neat iron rail ftg. Estimte weight of the structure 44,000 .ponmds.

Address W.'C. & F. P. Curicu, No. 39 Vark Row, New York. Should Mercer University be removed to Atlanta, as is conjectured, the Editor of the Intelligence, will have an opportunity to expatiate on the ability of Rev. J. J. Brantly, a brother of the above Rev'd. gentleman, iwho is at present at Penfield. Rev. J. J. Brantly, for a number of years pastor of the Baptist Church here, is a ripe scholar and an eloquent divine. We regret to learn the death of Mrs. Ci. Ci. hirer1 of Charleston. teeting- ale-Day. The farmning public and citizens gene rally will bear it in mind that Gen. Wagener, the agent of Immigration, will present the claims of this subject before them on text Monday, and it is respect fully recommended that every man in the District, whether feeling particularly interested or not, will make it a point if }possible to attend. Upon its success hangs the future destiny we believe of this State. The following extract from the address of Gen. W. to the citizens of Florence, we think quite appropriate as an introduction to the meeting of Monday: It is now about twenty years ago, that I first addressed the public of South Caro lina in favor of encouraging European im migration. It was then to prevent the out flux of that immeuse capital, which was annually spent by the large planters in the purchase of meats, provisions, horses, swine and manufactured goods from other p irts of the country, and with which our State was entirely competent to supply herself, through an additional industrious and diver sified population. But it was then held dangerous to our then peculiar institution, and for three successive sessions of the General Assembly I applied in vain for a charter for the society that had established the German settlemsnt and town of Walhalla. Subsequent events have demonstrated, that I was right and the opponents of the measure were wrong ; for of the.Europeans that had found a home in our mo-ntains, not one has been found obnoxious to the State and I her institutions and measures; their indus trious and prosperous habits have been ac knowledged, and the bones of their sons lie bleaching on almost ev.ery field, where Carolina valor has exhibited itself. Now, however, every objection must have ceased and our actual necessities of the moment admonish us, that what was left undone in seasons of prosperity and power, must not be delayed any longer in our day of adversi ty and weakness. An ove:-whelming pro portion of our population has changed its status. There is a threatening cloud in the horizon of South Carolina, from which even all the other Southern States, excepting one besides herself, are exempt.. It is the j rc ponderanec f the col1ed population. It is true, the wUe people are the representa tiv; of all property as heretofore, and the colored people-to their honor be it said are law-abiding and well-disposed to their native home and their former masters. But will they be let alone? Do we not know that fanatical and selfish persons are even now inciting them to opinions and acts at variance with the rights and dignity of the community? Are tiy not taught that they will have the power, and should-exercise it, to represent One S:a:e and mtke her laws to suit themselves? How shall we protect our selves against such contingencies ? I am n:st opposed to theblack man. On the contra ry, I want to encourage and improve him. I want to give him schools and every facility for his advancement, progress and national happiness. I.want himi to feel that, although of African descent, he is a native of Cairo tina, that he should love, revere and defend her as his mother and the home of hs chil dren, and that lhe should not allow the stranger to come between him and his white brother to stir up hatred and contention. I want him to have the full enjoyment of every -right, incident to his freedom and the amplest protection of the law. But I want to retain a sufficient influence and power in the old race of .Carolina, to conserve the rights of property, of public and private security, and as a safeguard aganist agra rianism and fanatical despoilers. Besides, under the altered condition of things the operative power of the present laboring class of South Carolina is insufficient to develop her- resources, even to the extent of her former productions. I believe I have shown this conclusively on a former occa sion; mo,reov-er, it is an acknowledged feet, which I will not now, therefore, further enlarge upon. The State wants a greater laboring force and an increase of her pro ducers. Immigration alone een supply this want. The question then occurs, how shall we get immigr-ation, and what must the peo ple do to further the meastures which the State has recently enacted? I am ready and willing, and my otelat duties require of me, wo apply ali energy and exertion to the accomplishment of -that object. In doing this, however, the co-operation of all good citizens is necessary, and besides, I must not look to the particular interest of this one or that one, but to the necessities and prosperity of the people as a whole, and thus the question should be viewed by the people themselves. Let us examine then t-ogether, calmly and reasonably as if we were entirely disinterested as individuals, this important matter; and not as we might desire it to be, but as it really and practi cally is, divested of every private considera tion, and then we may also agree upon a plan by which both the general good and your own particular interest may be served. Xr. Helper and~ His New Work. The reader familiar with the "Impend ing. Crisis," the great campaigning book of the Republican party, will be surprised to learn that he is out with a new one, entitled, "No joque; a question for a con tinent," ini which he abuses, denounces and consigns to extermination, not only the negroes, but even the black Congress at Washington. We give one extract only as copied from the New York Day Book:i THlE CLIAN AND A BROTHER" DEscItBED. The night-born ogre stands before us ; we observe his. low, receding forehead ; his broad, depressed nose; his stammer ing, stuttering speech ; and his general actions, evidencing monkey-like little ness and imbecility of mind. By close attention and examination, we may also discover in the sable individual before us, if, indeed, he be net an exception to the. generality of his race, numerous other. prominent defects and deficiencies. Ad-1 mit that he be not warp jawed, muffled tongued, nor tongue-tied, is he not skue sighted, blcar-eyed, or blobber-lipped ? If he be not wry-necked, wen-marked, nor shouldsri-shotted, is he not stiff-joint ed, humped backed, or hollow-bellied ? If he be not slab-sided, knock-kneed, nor bow-legged, is he not (to say the least) spindle-shanked, cock-heeled, or fat-footed ? If he be not maimed, halt, or blind, is he not feverish with inflamn ations, festerings, or fungosi ties ? If he be not affRicted with itch, blains nor blis ters, does he not squirm unde:- the pains of boils, bui-ns, or bruises ? If he be not the child of contusions, sprains, nor dislocations, is he not the man of scalds, sores, or scabs ? If he be not an endr-er of the aches of pneumonia, pleurisy, nor rheumatism, does he not feel the fatal ex acerbations of rankling wounds, tumors, or ulcers ? If he be no complainer over the cramps of coughs, colics, nor consti pation, doth he not decline and droop, under the discomforts of dizziness, drop sy, or diarr-hoa ? If he be no sufferer from hemorrhoids, erysipelas, nor exfo liation, is he not a victim'- of goitre, in tumescence, or paralysis ? If he experi ence no i*onvenicnce from gum-rash, choleramorbus, nor moon-mad ness, doth he not wince under the pangs of the hip. -o+th ape-worm, or the mnullirnhs? If he be free from idiocy, insanity,, -or syneope, is le not subject to fits, spasms, or convulsions?. Aye, in almost every possible respect, he is a person of ill-pro portion, blemish and disfigurement ; and no truer is it that the Turk (in Europe) is the sick man of the East, than that the negro (in America) is the sick man of the West. Neither the one nor the other will ever recover. The malady of each is absolutely incurable. Both are doomed to take upon themselves-and that very soon-the cold and inanimate condition of complete fossilization. - - - + - STILL SUFFERIG.-FOr fear that our delinquent friends may forget us entirely, we would respectfully suggest that we are still "alive and kicking," but how long we will be able to "kick," we know not, unless help comes quickly. A blow even now from our pedal extremities would scarcely have disturbed the equili brium of that famous fowl of which Jo', is said to have enjoyed the proprietorship. But to the "pint :" We wish to say to all who belong to the category ycleped "delinquents," that if they have any more "filthy lucre" than they want-if they have anything that will do to eat, drink or wear, and can put it to no better use- we will take it, and be thankful. But if they owe the merchant, doctor, lawyer, or anybody else, go of course, and pay them first, and if anything is left, then it v, ould be as well to pay the printer "that little trifle."-Printers are generally too prudent to ask and too reasonable to expect more than the butcher's share--the horns and tail; and if offered any other "choice" the em barrassment would be overwhelming. If money is scarce-but if it is we have not heard of it (?)-send us anything that will keep soul and body together, and a horse's hide out of the tan vat. We had rather have the money, but will not be at all "choosy"-will take anything we can get, (we are not "light-fingered," however,) from a bantom chicken to a quarter of beef. If our fri' can do no better we cntrcat them by all means to send us csc dried apples and a little hot water, and we will try and do till blackberry time, now fortunately near at hand-then we "won't care a darn." Laurensville Herald. VoNDERFUL TRIcK OF A CHINESE MAGI cIAN-A marvellous trick, performed by a Chinese magician, i3 thus described by Ibu Batatu, an Arab who travelled in the fourteenth century : "le took a wooden ball with several holes in it, through which long thongs were passed, and lay ing hold of one of these, slung it into the air. It went so high we lost sight of it altogether. There now remained only a little of the end of the thong in the conjurer's hand, and he desired one of the boys who assisted him to lay hold of it and mount, lie did so, climbing by the thong, and we lost sight of him also. The conjurer then called to him three times, but getting no answer, snatched up a knife, as if in a great rage, laid hold of the thong, and dlisappeared also. By and by he threw down one of the boy's hands, then a foot, then the trunk, and then the other hand and foot, and last of all, the head. Then he came down himself, all pflng and panting, and with his clothes all bloody ; but presently he took the boy's limbs and laid them together in their places and gave a kick, when presto! there was the boy, who got up and stood before them." A SCIENTIFIC MIRAcLE.-Prof. Dore mus, of New York, -recently delivered a lecture, in which, as we learn from the Druggists' Circular, he introduced seve ral illustrations of the constitution of gun cotton. The lecturer once placed a linen handkerchief in an explosive con dition, and then had it thrown into the wash. His servant girl washed, dried and sprinkled it ready for ironing, with oun her being aware of its character. The moment she placed the hot iron on the handkerchief, it vanished into thin air, much, of course, to the astonishment of Bridget. Had such a thing occurred before the principles of science were so generally understood as they now are, it would have been attributed to supernatu ral agency. THE OI.DEST PRINTER GoNE.-The Sel ma (Ala.) Messenger chronicles the death, in Dallas County, on Saturday last, of Robert McKnight, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. Mr. McKnight was, per haps, the oldest printer in the United States, having commenced learning the "art preservative of all arts" in George town, S. C., in 1794 and until within a few years was able to work at the case. He was an honest, industrious and good man, and notwithstanding the poverty in which he died, was much respected by all who knew him. IHe was the father of Mr. R. A. McKnight, of the Unionville Times, and of Major George McKnight, formerk.y known as Asa Hartz. AN TMrORTANT DEcIsION IN BANKRUPT cr.-The law report column of the New York Tribune, of the 13th inst., contains the following: An important order was made yester day by Judge Blatchford, involving the construction of the twenty-first section of the bankrupt Act. The learned judge has set the example of putting a liberal construction upon that section, by grant ing a stay of proceedings on an order of the State Court for examination of a judgment debtor, when the creditor has not proved_his claim. Barnum states of Mrs. General Tom Thumb that she is preparing for a little event that usually makes quite a com motion in a family. Tbe "dimpling lit 0e cherub"{(as the poetaster would say) that Mrs. Stratton presented to her liege lord, in the winter of 18633, died in Nor wich, Eng., last September, and now they are to have another little spirit to make their home bright and cheerful. The party of small people, i. e., the Gen eral, his wife, sister-in-law, and Com modore Nutt, are expected in New York about the end of next month. GENERAL SICKLEs AsKs TO BE RELIEVED AND DEMANDS A COURT OF INQUIRY.-Gen eral Sickles, on yester-day, requested the authorities at Washington to r-elieve him from command in this Military District. Hec also respectfully demanded a Court of Inquiry upon his official action, that he might vindicate himself from the ac cusations of the A ttornmey-General, pub lished, lie presumed, with the approval of the President.--C harleston Mercury. DEATH FROM SMA .:: BITE. -John Rives, a young citizen from Putnam County, wihile gathering strawberries in his father's patch, was sprung as and struck on the neck by a rattle snake. The bite proved fatal in a few hours.- Augusta Chroniele. A girl, 14 years of age, carries the mail between Stone IIouse and Manassas t..tin, na. a distnce of 3a miles. LOCAL rTMar. --t CRincu MEEriNG.-We have been re- e quested to state that a series of meetings t will be held in the Associate Reformed Church, to commence on Thursday even- b ing, the 27th inst. These meetings will g be conducted by the Rev's. H. T. Sloan, r and J. C. Boyd. The public are respect- t fully invited to attend. a PERsoNAL.-Mr. J. P. Poole, the pro prietor of the Newberry Hotel, we are pleased to notice, after a prolonged ab sence, is again in our midst, looking hale, hearty and rejuvenated. We believe it is his design to make Newberry his home permanently, and of course to bestow a C greater attention to the management of his popular House, and to the interests and comfort of the public generally, than he has been able heretofore to do. THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Since our last, rain has fallen in superabundance, C in fact during the whole week, and during Saturday and Sunday to such an extent I as to injure to some extent the crops. r But few farmers have been able to gatber t their wheat in consequence of the con tinued rain, but we have heard of no harm as yet arising from such long ex posure. Should the weather now clear up we trust no considerable damage may I be sustained.I AN AT.AIM.-The alarm which prevail ed in town on Sunday and Monday morn- s ing, that owing to the heavy rains the Broad river bridge had been carried t away, was happily allayed on the arrival of the passenger train from Columbia in due time, which reported no damage c whatever, and. the river not alarmingly e high. Persons in the country who may F not yet have heard the report contradic ted, will learn with satisfaction that we s have been spared this public calamity. t S ARREST.-An arrest was made here by e the military on Friday last of two persons, one registering from Canada and the other from New York, the latter formerly of this State, and who we are glad to say was almost immediately after liberated, their being no charge against him, more than the unfortunate fact of having been found in company with the foimer, who is still in custody. What the charge, is not known, the arrest was made on a dispatch from headquarters below. DEAD HEADS.-"Two-thirds of the d members of my church," says a pastor, r "are honorary members." They don't t come to prayer-meeting ; they don't at tend the Sunday school; they don't add r to the lire of the church ; they are pas- t sengers on the Gospel ship. They bear t no burdens, add no strength ; their names r are on our books-they are honorary members." Honorary members ! Think of t church ~ members. Passengers on the Gospel , ship, bearing no burdens, doing nothing. To how many will this apply ? A sermon in a nut-shell. TnE Poen EDrre.-We hear oT him on every hand ; one hailing from the Badger State, makes the following appeal for sympathy. Is it not touching ? - "We cannot help thinking how much easier an editor's life might be made if his generous patr'ons could only hear his "better half" scraping the bottom of the flour barrel ! A man that can write edi- I torials with such music sounding in his a ears, can easily walk the telegraph wires ~ and turn summersaults in the branches of a thorn b''sh."t T HE FE3MALE CoLLEGE.-The commenCe- ~ ment exercises of this Institution will ~ commence on this (Wednesday) evening, at the Court House, to which the public b are invited, by a complimentary card of the accomplished and beloved principal, t Rev. J. Taylor Zealy. The programme as laid down for the occasion promises a a rich treat of intellectual entertainment. There will be four graduations. It is gratifying to note, the success of the first session which now closes under a such flattering auspices and promise for a the future ; to the energy andl ability of r Mr. Zealy, and his able corps of assistants, & ,we are due for the building up of an r institution of learning, of which this dis tict may justly be proud. The next l. session will commence on Wednesday the 21st day of August next, and we are pleased to learn that large accessions will be hid. ORIGIN OF TH E PRINTElt'S DEVIL.-For the information of those who are igno rant of the origin of this important charac. ter, we give the following explanation, i which we find in the Advertiser's Gazette: Q When Aldus Manutius set up in busi- 8 ness as a printer at Venice, he came in possession of a little negro boy. This boy was known over the city as "the little black devil," who assisted the mys terious bibliofactor, and some of the ig- fi norant persons believed him to be none other than the embodiment of Satan, who helped Aldus in the prosecution of his a profession. One day,.Manutius, desiring f to dispel this strange hallucination by b publicity, displayed the young "imp" tob the poorer classes. Upon this occasiont he made this short but very characteris tic speech-"Be it known to Venice, that a I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy o Church and Doge, have this day made a public exposur e of the PRINTER's DEVIL - All those who think he is not flesh and ~ blood may conme and pinch him." .a a "GREEN CoRN."-Mrs. R. S. will ac- .o cept thanks for delicious green corn. Mrs. S. t has' certainly removed the " dilapidated linen" from off the Newberry horticultural bush, to date. Where is Solomon K? ScHODAIR ! *Who? Why Schodair! He p can bake the sweetest and the prettiest cake t in all Christendom. He can ornament them I in representation of any and everything h found in ye lover's lexicon. Call on him V all who want the delicionsest, loveliest, and out,and-outenest cakes! LAGE R.-WeC acknowledge from Mr. Scho.. dair, a goblet of lager beer of an exquisite, nutty flavor, and rich brown color. Schos erdnir krnows what's gnnt. THE CoxcER'.-The en tertainment got -n up by the ladies came off on Thnrsday bi vening, at the Court House, and al- e bough the weather was very unpro itious was well attended. That the tc ouse was not crowded was owing alto. 1 ether to the unfavorableness of the w ight. The music was decidedly a rich i reat, and highly creditable to the mateurs of Newberry, each one of whom fe erformed their parts to the satisfaction r nd delight of the audience. We would ii ke to particularize some of the per- k rrmances but will not, for all did well, t nd we give them our meed of praise for heir success. Never among profession Is have we ever seen a programme h arried through with so much pleasure tl o an audience ; no stopping, no jar, no it onfusion, but continued straight through r o the end, (with the exception of course f the intermissions devoted to refresh aents,) and so well was the attention hained, and the ear charmed, that the iteness of the hour was a matter of sur rise for we little dreamed when the last ote died away and the spell was broken, hat the night was approaching the "wee ma' hours." The lady voices were par- s iularly fine, passing good; and so was, -but the whole could hardly have been ,etter, and Newberry should be justly roud ofher distinguished musical talent- n Ve hardly know which of the two to raise the most, the artistic performances r nd arrangement, or the manner and ri tyle in which the ladies managed the epartment of "refreshing." There every- S hing-was in profusion, and of the most % empting character, and spread out in tl b side ;>onms, doors thrown wide open, E nder a full glare of light, attracted the b ye, softened the heart, and tempted the o alate, di ing the time devoted to the music sweet," and when the invitation o gracefully heralded was heard, "that c he ladies in waiting would be pleased to upply the wants of any or all who wish d to indulge in the delicacies prepared" very general response was given ; and gain was this repeated with only a slight ariation 'by the herald, who on the econd invitation returned thanks for he former hearty response and stating t< hat the supplies were unexhausted. his met with the like approval, and-the c elicacies once more went round in lively ime. At the conclusion of the programme re retired in the happiest humor, but not efore hearing that the remaining cakes, ~c-some of them of very handsome esign-would be offered for sale. -We t mnderstand that sales were effected, and hat notwithstanding the weather and I ts draw backs, a very handsome sum was, ealized, which it will be recollected is f, o be appropriated to the repairing of ti he Baptist Church. And thus ends our b otice of a very pleasant evening. - d SPICE.-This department will be short d his week, as ii ill shortly al pear, anda rill contain only as follows: s Youngster, spare that girl? p Kiss not those lips so meek! Unruffled let the fair locks curl . f Upon the maiden's cheek. Believe her omite a .sint; -d Her looks are all divine; Her rosy hue is paint Her form is crinoline. It is to be hoped that the advice here iven will be' taken. We seriously ob-. tI setsto any young man acting contrary- s nby an innocent mistake began to b ead from the prayer-book as follows: Man that is born of woman is full of rouble, and hath but a short time to ye." The astonished bridegroom sud- |I enly exclaimed: "Sir, you mistake, y e came to be married." "Well," re- g lied Davis, "if you insist, I will marry u ou, but believe me, my friend, you had o etter be buried." p Candidates for matrimony can act as bey please. There is a deal in it. i A young man advertised for a wife, d nd received eighteen hundred aiiswers ? -m husbands, saying he could have " beirs. t This shows the virtue of advertising, ndA what else it shows we do not feel. ist now like saying. A little fellow one day non-plussed his >other by making the following inquiry: a 'Mother, if a man is a Mister, ain't a wo- t an a mystery ?" cl The boy did not get any butter on is bread that day.o "'I think," said a wife who could not ei gree with her husband : "I think, Mr. ibbs, we had, better divide the house. v. Eou shall live on one side, and I[on the 11 ther" "Very well, my dear,". replied e; "you take the outside and I'll have h he inside." A one-sided division. A man near Chamnbersburg, Pa., sold o is wife the other day to a peddler for 17, and executed a bill of sale for the h oods. An execution of himself would have1 een better. 1 Wno SAYs BEANS ?-[t used to be be >re the passage of the military bill, and ;now under some circumstances, and to d certain extent, extremely hazardous >r a man to say "beans" to another. e othing easier to get up a fight on than T eans ; we are particularly sensitive on l dat point, and we advise the public to void making use of the expression in V ur presence. Not so however with the ai ian or woman who sends us beans, that o4 a grey horse of another color, and we - ssure Mr. Satterwhite that we are not A agry with him for the nice mess left je u our table.

In life they were birds of one feather, 0 An aegn ote-tgte. Y CABBAGE AND PoriTzQs.-The 'Junior's' .Ater half, finding time to spare from the na iltire of her numerous "patch of olive ants" has turned her attention to the eul" ml ration of hard-head cabbage and big pota. es, of which we acknowledge the receipt an haAdsome specimens. The Jr., an the Ife of his.bosodm are considerable of crop ts, and have a garden of wonderful fertil- _ y,and amateur garden as it is, it will bear attering comparison with the best.
