Letter in reference to these dances, which, under the guise of fashionable amusements, are so fraught with danger to stund..-morals and to that delicacy which springs spon taneously from Christianity, and .is in timately conhiected with a true Christian faith and sentiment. -The Pastoral Letter was signed -by' all our bishops, and it is therefore the officia declaration of the Chureh in the United States. Our 3is.h ops issue the following warning on the subject: : . "In this connection we consider it to be our duty to warn' our people against those amusements which may easily becomne to them an occasion of sirn, and especially against those fashionable dances, which, as at present carried on, are revolhing to every feeling of delicacy and propriety, and are fraught with the greatest danger to morals.

A singular casualtY occurred in the town Df Sumter, on the 7th inst., resuhing in the Jeatlh of the Rev.

He was found dead next morning. *. Drftig inte Bernz~aZlmn The New York Commercial (Republi :n) is uneasy at the revolutionary com lezi.on of affairs, and says: "We are drifting into repudiation 1 We are so drifting, not because our debt s too onerous, or that our .people are iishonest, but because Congress is either sensible- to the danger or indiff'erent to tsidnsequen~ces.

The reconstruction committee have re orted that in pursuance of the iro isions of Act of Congress, the people of labamna have framed .a Constitution of ~tate govetnmtebt, republican in form, nd acceptable to-their high mightinesses, a disregard of the fact that in the elec ion, .the peoplesdid not ratify that con titution..

At a large and respectable meeting meld in the town of Spartanburg, on the 8th, many of the oldest citizens en oled their names under an organiza ion, to be known as the Constitutional Jub of Spartanberg. Thbe preamble of heir' Constitution says : We, a portion of the citizens of Spar *nbrg, believing the Southern people re true to constitutional liberty, and Lre ready to adopt any policy looking to he honor and good of the whole coun ry ;. and recognizing their duty to sus ain Jaw and order and maintain the ights ol all classes of the*people, do e~eby protest against the vindictive and artisani acts of Congress, as not only rong in principle, oppressive in action, and ruinous -to both races, but a crime gainst civilization and humanity, which t is the duty of all good men to 'dis :ountenance and condemn. Art. ii of the Constitution provides :hat "every good citizen is cordially in ited to metabership in the Club by igning the Constitution. .And the col >red) people are earnsstly solicited to co >perte. with us in our efforts for mutual ,rotection;, by the formation of similar Jibs, br in such way as they may deem Ldvisable." Tbe following are the officers : -Dr. L. C. Kennedy, President. Vice Presidents-Joseph Foster, Dr. I. J. Boyd, John B. Cleveland,- Col. John H. Evans, Janies Nesbit. Treasu rer-Dr. W. 'T. Russell. Secretary Wi. K. Blake. Executive Committee [. Cannon, S. Bobo, W. DuPre, Dr. L lwitty, Win Irwin. CHICAGO is a big eity. Its latest-large thing was a chicken #ght, which -lasted ll night, ith which one hundred fowls participated. Harriett Beecher Stowe arrived in Chrleton last wek. -0nvation coming-to a -Head. The greatringed-streaked body is com ing to a beai, the fungus about to burst, and the imnortals, (whom the gods love not, or .hey would have departed this life longago,) will return to mortaf-. ity and greers once more; for a time at least.

An inchlent worthy of note* is that be fore the immortals decided as to who, should be exalted to fiHl the gubernatorial chair, the candidates, R. K. Scott and T. J Robertson. F"Iead -themselves on a banquet. Robertson had the inside track, as his feast came off last, and might have made a good thing of it, but for the reason that his "vittles" were not good, or that the immortals pirtook too freely of Scott's dainties, for we learn, that after the entertainment of the latter, a large body with~ banners and "mu sie by the band" proceeded to the - Char leston hotel, and vomited over the floors and passages, besides,using profane and obsqene language, aud, that worthy Major Roorback was forced to call for the police to expel them. As might have been expected, Gen.. Scott received the nomination. One othier thing has been accomplished, the passage of the bill of Rights, which document- will, be found on ear first page. Another reveals the -interesting fact that this body have music in their souls, and that Mir.' Whittemore who has prayed so o'ft4n, can also sing, and that having.teriinated thxe nominating cxer eise, he le-( by request, with' "Rally_ round theg-boy1dterThg aTiU lied, Leslie kgpinig tine with a ruler. Interesting from Washmnton. The action ot the Senate, on the 18th, in remainiing over two hours in consul tation, and then coming -into open court with procession and order, after -secret debate and vote, is deprecated by. the managers, and the President's counsel~ argued that~ the real trial was taking place in secret, and that officers,.-man ager-s and counsel were mere show work. The President's counsel, yesterday, seemed perfectly disarmed, after the re turn of the Senate, and submitted to the result of its secret compromises without mach remonstrance. Grant received a despatch from Gen. Thomas, saying in effect, that the ene mies of the present Government in Ten nessee.'were organized for resistance to the laws,.and to get control of the State. Grant replies, ordering Thomas to qse all the forces at his command to preserve peace and protect the. State authorities in the exectition of the laws, and to re port, if more troops were needed. Persons conversant with . the Senato rial feeling, say t-he real danger to thre President has 'uarrowed down to the fact of appointing Thomas ad interinu Secre tary of war. Butler's chaiges stand no chance, and the illegality of Stinton's re moval is doubted by many Senators. Mr-. Stanberry has resigned the office of Attorney-General, that as counsel for President Johnson, he may devote bis time exclusively to the duties of so pa ramount an obligation. Mr. Browning, Secretary of the Interior, has been aly pointed as acting in his stead. Demanratic Organizations. A large mass meeting of citizens as sembled at Walterboro, on. the 3d March for'the purpose uf forming a Democratic Organization. T'he proceedings were in teresting, and expressive of the senti ments of~ all true men in the State, and honorable, to a district always' true and straightforward. The Mercury calls it a "good thing," and is "pleased to see at last a beginning, and also that it has been entered into by citizens of every past phase of opinion upon public mat ters." Walterboro is not the only dis trict in which meetings have been held, and formed, wi- are pleased to know. A thorough organization of the Democratic party in this State is of thi most vital importance. Can we of Newberry rnot have a meeting and advise on this mat ter ?.. Stonl, Webb & Co. We invite attention to the card of Messrs. Stoll, Webb & Co., of the cele brated Charleston House-the -great wholesale anid retail dry goods' empo run of the South, The Messrs. Stoll, Webb & Co. have achieved unbounded success as leaders.. in,. the dry . gooids' trade, and are tghly assisted by a corps of most reliable anid obliging clerks. This house, as usual offers large inducements to the trade in general. Mrs. Julia Dean-Hayne-Cooper, the T,00G 122V8. Wilson & Wicker, we .are pleased ta see, are up to their elb6rs in new g6ods, all varieLies and character, suitable for the season and t4 the many-, wants of the multitude of people who dwell in this region. Call otut. m and see for your selves if their sO is not coniprehen sive. WEATHER.-Our weather remarks are brief, and to this-point, tbatSt. Patrick's day in the morning-Tuesday 17th-the birth-day of the old Saint, true to tra dition, turned the warm side of the stone outward, and that we are now enjoying an "illigant" spell of weather. St. PAt rick was a "jontihnan" and sprang from "dacent" people. IN LIEU THEREoF.-Payments may be made to this office for 'those little amounts', severally In beef, bacon, butter, beans and potatoes ; corn, peas, wheat and oats; meal, and grist; eggs and chickens; wood, rails, et cetera, et cetera; well, in fact, almost anything edible or inedible - even good "bricks", but not bats; greens, and "many other things too numerous to mention." Couirr.-The Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas, His Honor- Judge Moses, presiding, convened on .Monday lust. His Honer's charge' to :the Grand Jury, was able and impressive, and just such an one as might have-been expected from se eminent a jurist. His Honor, too, presides with an affability quite en chanting'to our, distinguished Bar, whom we noticed in full attendance. The Ses sion's docket will be heavy, and-embrace the Ligh crimes of murder and arson, be sides.sundry cases of petit larceny, and mischievous mischief.- An instan.ce of remarkable dispatch is noted in the fact of our esteemed Solicitor, Col. Fair, having presented twelve Bills to the Jury by 12 .f., of Monday. We- noticed two inbleached citizens of South C arolina among the Grand Jury, of -which Mr. B. D. Boyd is the foreman. BABY-Snow.-Some difference of opin ion existing between a number of citi zens of. this place, good fathers and proud, as to the superior excellencies of their offspring, in'the several points of good looks; weight, 'and freedom from crying, without - good and sufficient cause, &c., the subject of a baby-show has been mooted. , The proposition we believe stands as follows, tpeseambitious "parients" to meet at Squ,ire -, near. Jala pa, at a day yet to be named, and then and there to exhibit their inteest-. ing pledges before a- disinteristed Sm -mittee, the Squire beinig chairman, aiid a prize awardedl to the .man who can show the greatest prodigy: A dinner of huge proportions .and elegant 'iariety to be furnished to the whole happy party, which it is expected wrill he'p to mollify the feein'rgs of ~disdypinfrent .wiicb ~a large nmuter will 'experience. No baby to be admitted to' the ring, coming from any. sction outside 'the -district. Parties wishing to enter their "young una," will send in their names, with a* description of the most remarkaplJe points of. chgrac,' ter, etc., as exhibited by their. lit.tle "pinks of perfection," to t he Heraff"inf fice between this and the 15th of April. SPECIAL. . , WRtGHrT.-Whben you are in the right be sure and go ahead. And so does Wright, of the firm of Blease & Wright ; he is always Wright, and consequently is a go ahead fellow;, and a elever chap too ; and why ? not -on)y b ecausebhe made us a right brandsenae presint tother; day, but becausehe is iright and- true -as a trivet ini business, and keeps an~ elegant. assortment of every article in the .tin furnishing line which can be called for, 'esides cooking stoves of all p3titerns, and prices, of warranted excellence. -His faor is highly appreciated,and for which he will accept many thanks. We would not be doing right did we not in conclu sion reccommrend this establishment to the public. All who need, or -will need, agood, sb stantial, neat fitting pair of' boots or shoes,. &., mest remember that it is at the house of Abrams, Griffia & Hargro've, where such goods are kept. At least ft is the general "understanding" among the people, that whatever M,cM. does in the sh.oe,line, Is well done. Mae is the adjutant, so to speak, or this excellent shoe house. He~ Is' looking daily for his elegant- spring stock, so you be on the qui vive, dear;- reader, for thsp pretty new shoes that are coming, latest styles, some of which designs were conceived by Mr. Metts, himself. It might be permissible for us to state here, that some of his patterns are extensively used North by shoe dealers. THE CPhnr, (not tile Captain with his whiskers," but the one -'who changed his base"), will advance a handsome.stock of spring goods upon the Newberry market, this week, and solicits an'inspection of the same. The goods are varied, choice and cheap, were purchased for cash, and will be sold at reasonable rates. N. B.-The Captain will supplr the county so-called, with embryo krout in the shape of Buncombe cabbage seed, till it can't rest. Friend Marshall has opened his neat .little brter and retail store, and intends doing as LARGE a business as his f'rieinds will permit him to do. Though "single-handed" (in tusiness) he will work with the energy-of a double team. We hope that L. M. will receive a share of that patronage which none but a Newberry public know so well how to bestow upon the deserving. Index to New Advertisements.

I'll send thee specimens of art from everyEu ropean mart-I'll sketch for thee each Alpine scene, to let thee see where I have been. A stone from Simplon's dreadful height, shall gratify thy curious sight. I'll climb the tiery Atna's side to bring treasures for my bride, and, oh, my life, each ship shall bear, a double letter to my fdir." "Ah, George," the weeping angel said, and on my shoulder fell her head. "For constancy, my. tears ,are hostage-but when you- write plen pay the postage." The epistle of Corrf O'Lanus to the ladies will be read with much interest, we believe, and therefore publish it. He says that eighteen sixty-eight ii an im portant -year, because. It is leap year. Of which fact I wish to remind the ladies. There is a division of opinion as to the right of a woman 't, vote, but there can be no question os to her right to a husband-if she can gVt one. Now is the time. But 1 would ad vise young- ladies ndt to be rath. Al though it is leap year, you had better look before you leap. Because if you get a husband and he" don't suit, you, you can't change him for a better oie, atieast without going to Chicago. There are several considerations to be observcdin the silection of a, husband. Looks are a matterof taste:-size, complexfon and color of whiskers may be left to individ ual. taste. They are of less consequence than disposition and pecuniary resources. Particularly the- resources. I wouldn't advise any young woman to marry a man who would expect her pa to support them. It is not a fair thing on the old gentleman, who has been looking forward to the marriage of his danghter as a hap py release from milliner's bills. Never disappoint your parents. Young ladies need not inquire too gartieularly whether the man of their choice belongs toa lodge which ineets fou tights a week. They *ill find that out after they are Maried. tsb4nds, like other domestic aniqal, whon caught young can sometimes be thIined to do-a good-manyiseful'tii They hav.emeu, been known to get n4 in the morningrand, light the fire ,when the"girl had gone away. Tho're are soe professions not advisable sto marry intba Such as editors, for'thef never get ri4th, Or reporters who are never home a! nghts. Or politicians who ar-e not satis fled. with one wife, buts always .getting wedded to. their country, and like most ban ists atinee both their wives. But a tlie great object is-to get a husband, and as the sapply is -limited, it may not do .to be too par t.icular.. In a Chicago morning daily quite recently, a young lady advertised: . "PERsomAI.-Wanted, a hft,d tu hold mine own as down life's vale tgIi4e; wanted an arm to lean upon, forever by my side. Address Miss Emtna If. Hand ln,' Chicago P- 0. In the next issue appeared this answer: PETSoNAL.-I have a band for Emaa H., 'tis hanging by my side, but willingly with her will hitch and down life's vale rill glide.

"T.hat is probably the oldest piece of furniture in' America," said a- collectotof antique curiosities to a friendl, pointing to a venerable looking table as he sisoke. "How 'old is it ?" asked the friend.; "Nearly four hundred -years." "Pshaw, that is nothing. I 'have an Arabio table over two thousaird years old. ' "Indeed !". "Yes, the multiplication table t" A darkey preacher was teTling how Adam- was the first man' created, and set up against the fence to dry.

A Mormon exchange announces the death of a bishop thus: He was.thirty seen yetrs old; and leaves an interest ing family of eleven wives and forty seven small children to mourn his death." The editor of a Kansas paper .says the best thing his cotempoiiry' has got ofi during the week-is-a dirty shirt. The cotemporary replies that he can't say as much as that forhis brother editor.
