Hoge, after many ups and downs, is at last seated, this feat was ac complished with the usual fillibustering. There is consolation in this, that the Supreme Bench will know him no more, for when we remember the illustrious ones who honored that position we must exclaim that "this Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." He is seated in the House of Representa tives without the honor of having been elected. District Agricultural Society. It is highly gratifying to us to be able to state, that considerable interest is be ing manifested on the subject of an Ag ricultural Society. During the past week, and since the last issue of our pa. per, in which this matter was spoken of, a number of gentlemen, farmers and others, have had the su}ject under con s~ltation, and have expressed them selves greatly concerned in reference to the formation of a Society of this kind, and one which will redound to the fu ture interests of this district-not only in, an .-gricultural, but in every other point of view. We are pleased that so many of our citizens are enlisted in this good work, and that the idea enter tained by our correspondent "farmer," -as the reason why no more las before been made-that "everybody's busi ness is nobody's business," will not holb good in this instance. This is certainly everybody's business, and though every one has not yet said or done anything, yet the number who have, is really gratifying. Substantial, practical, intel ligent and influential men are earnestly enlisted in the cause, and we look for ward to our first meeting with decided pleasure, and to the time when Newber ry shall again have her Agricultural meetings, Fairs, &c., and be represented as in olden times in the State Society. One of the most favorable signs of the times in the improvement of the condi tion of our people are the calls for meet ings of this character which are seen in the local papers of the State, and that many of the districts have already formed societies. The State Convention is to meet in Columbia on the 28th inst., where will be delegates from nearly all the districts in the State, and after so long an inter val, the meeting will be of a highly in. teresting charac:ter.. It is deemed important that a meet ing be held here as early as practi'able, and in furtherance of this desirable ob ject, we suggest that it be held in the Court House on Sa:urday, the 24th inst., just before the meeting of the State Con vention, and that at said meeting, dJle gates be appointed to attend - the Coh vetiton in Columbia. AN APPEAL IN A G.OD CAUs.-WC print below an appeal that~ has been sent us by the ladies of the Confederate Memorial Association of Lynchburg. They ask of the Southern people assist ance in the good and noble work ol placing monuments over the graves of our fathers, brothers and sons, and we are confident that they will not ask in vain. We commend it, -therefore, to the attention of our numerous readers, and we be-s: eak for it, in obedience to the request of the ladies of the Association, a place in the columns of our Southern ex changes. The folk.wirng is the ap'peal: TO TnEWOMEN OF TnEsOU. The ladies of the Cona~federate Memo rial Association of Lyne' hburg Virginia, would res'pectfully call .the attention ol their sibt.ers of the So'uthern States tc to the fact, that several thouzsand soldierr from the various States are huried in th< cemetery of that city, and earnestly solicit their assistance in the work they have undertaken of erecting a suitablh monument to their memory. The Lynch urg Association has already enclosed the Cemetery, turfed the graves, anc are now collecting a sumi to defrai the expense of the monument. The im poverished condition of the people o Virginia, prevents their caring for tht graves of the Confederate dead who re pose in her soil, in the manner thea desire, and theyconfidently appeal t< the women of the South to contribute t( their holy work. Any donations may be sent to either ofh's undersigned c the Association. Mrs H . F. BO('OCK, President Miss eARRJE N. W A R WICK, Secetary. stemorial As.OCiation of Lynchburg, Virginia COLrUMBA, S.

For the Newberry Herald. - Tread softly, lightly, here, 'Tis sacred dust. Axox. A short time since the writer visited Rosemont Cemetery near the town of New berry, and while musing there midst the sad memorials, and unmarked graves of the dead, the thought occurred to him, here is the spot where should rest in peace the ashes of the heroic sons of Newberry, who perished in the late war, and above them a marble column worthy of their deeds should be raised by the people of the District. This thought accompanied -him home-lodged in his mind, and now seeks the utterance which he gives it through the columns of your paper. All that is left to us of that gigantic struggle is the sentiment by which it was nurtured and which en nobled it. Let it be cherished as a sacred relic-embalmed as a holy thing. In what more effectual way can this be done, than by honoring the memory of those who sac rificed their lives in obedience to that sen timent, in defence of their country's cause? The ancient Greeks made gods of 4heir heroes, and in this feeling, this veneration for those who lived and died in an "illustri ous course of virtue," in a great degree, may be attributed the high qualities and the grett deeds which have immortalized-their name. To the heroes of Greece monuments were built, and to this day their mere fragments are admired as the greatest creations of genius. Ic. these external forms of beauty and grandeur, a people show their appreci ation of noble actions-they bespeak the spirit that stirs within-the ideal that seeks expression in the material. In many portions of the late Confederacy, associations, composed chiefly of ladies, have been formed, having for their object the care and embellishment of the graves of the soldiers who fell in the line of their duty during the war. Richmond, Charles ton and other cities have such associations. Why should not New berry have hers? The writer proposes that the ladies of Newberry District take this matter in hand and immedi ately form an association of this kind. Their first ohjectshould be, to induce the parents and friends of these fallen heroes, to have their remains removed to Rosemont Cem etery, to be deposited there, in a square to be appropriated to that purpose. Then, to raise a fund sufficient to erect to their memory - fitting morument, one that will do honor as well to the living as the dead. The work of improvement has already been begun at the Cemetery ; the associ ation having charge of it have erected around it a substantial enclosure, and the hands of woman have already begun to beautify the grounds. A monument, such as the.writer suggests, will render the spot at tractive to all our people, and dear to the hearts of thiose whose loved ones will repose under its shadow ; and generations to come, when they read the names inscribed on its face, will feel moving within them the senti ment, "Dukce et decorum eat pro patria mor." The writer of this article has no selfis'h feeling to gratifv, in making these :sugg~es tions. Tnose of his blood who fell in the war sleep elsewhere-beyond the limits of Newberry. He is actuated solely by the feeling which he trusts belongs to our- peo ple in common-a desire to honor the he roic dead, and to present their virtues as an example to posterity. This is all. Now let some noble mna'ron or daughter of N'ewberry lead off in this laudatule work. Let the ~proposed association of ladies em 'srace the whole District,.and your corres pondent ventures to prediet that the move mient will meet with general favor, and that the men, old .and young, of the District, wilt respond by making liberal contribu tions of money to carry it out. 0--. The Abbeville Enlistments *A correspondent in Abbeville to the Charleston News thus explains the pres ent condition of that district, and what has been done in regard to the negro militia: All went pretty well here from -the time -of the election ientil Governor Scott's testimony was given in the con tested election between Reed and Hloge. The Abbeville papers published this testimony and denounced it in such a way that it threw Scott into a transport of passion, as we are informed. Hie at once attempted to have the writ of ha beas corpus suspended; In that he failed, but he had a joint resolution passed authorizing hitm to raise an armed force for the purpose of preserving the peace! This resolution we have never seen. It has not been published as we are aware. Before, hcwever, we had any idea of the resolution, or knew what authority htad been given, in ran the negroes, flocking to a man here who had been "a consta ble" and is now "a magistrate" by the appointment of Governor Scott. Upon inquiry this man Guffin (as it is said) re ported tbat be bad authority from Gov ernor Scott to raise a company of one hundrfed men to keep A bbeville quiet. ft is .maid that be bad enlisted about fifty negroes, (we have never heard of his asking a white man to enlist) when several ga ntlemien of the village expos tulated with bin), and he said, he con fessed himself that he thought it would have a bad e.ffect, and he promised to ask Governor Scott to suspend the or rder. I among others urged him to do this. Since that time we have not beard aniy thing about it. I have un derstood that Gutlli has declined for the present the services of great num bers of negroes which have been offered him. Volunteers at $15 per month are n umerous. rTe thing~ sem to be sus pended for the present, but I presume ithe wile put into operation before an threlection, to dragoon the uncon querable olposition of the people of this coun try. "Tall oaks from little acorns grow, Large streams from little founsains flow." seven years ago, the Plantation Bitters were but little known. To,day there is not a nook or corner of cur land where they are not found and used. The sale has reached the erformous number of Five Millions of IBottles annually, and it is constantly ins -creasing. It only shows what can be done with a really good medicine, and a syste-s -matic course of making It known. Perhaps no medicine in the world was ever so de% servedly popular as the Plantation Bitters. Go where you will, among the rich or poor, and you will always find theseBitters in use.

Well, Mower has it so near d perfection (that is the bacon,and wve class all 9 -ham as well as shoulder-under the short Shead of bacon, for it all grows out of the 7Y villainous hog, the receptacle oif devils and the curse of laws,) that if you don't eat too Imuch, it never will make your blood acrid, s5 but assist in supply ing 'on 'a ith just enough iof the carbonates to give you strength and 3cause you to sleep well. Loolt in at Mower's te CHEP MUsic -Some time sin.c an ad, Svertisemenit appeared in a New York paper. s which sta;ted that a mu,ical box which * would pJlay sixteen airs would be sent to Sany one remitting the price of the instrument >e -S. Hlere wia, a chance! Sixteen .beauti. s ful airs-in a horn-we should have said in ie a boy, for a mere song. The man that hath no mu-ic in his soul, would hardly nao igrice such an advertisement and there are not toa few menf to earacter; we have seen men who obaject topiano'., think it a waste of montey to buy such articles, atad a greater waste to consume time in playing otn them, have seen sorme too, who don't like "sorry" nudes, music at nightfall, or a "walk round'' on some elevated house top by a party of Thomas cats; such men of cours.e would pass such an advertisement by, with su.. preme indifference, even though it promIsed Ii- that a box phiaying sixtee., ai s could be had for only $2. I here are others, hoawever, who are full of music-t hey lake it in aany shape, from a spasmodic, asthmatic sinagle horn. ta a rull band. Such men are fond of music-boxes, thete is always one to be n, found in their houses, and they never let slip an opportunity to add to their stock. This advertisement was seen by us, but als. a though we do Jove, music delicious, and can 'play on the jewsharpsicon, and have not only seen but heard that instrument of all others atwhIch even lays the harp of a thous'and strings - in the shade-the tronduenmiphi lopena trasiamento, yet we did not send for one of Mr. Grandliars sixteen air $2 boxes. Several others did, however, and we are sor,. ry to say that they have taken a dislike to -e. music ever since. Several twvo dollar bills ''were sent, and in due time, their money's worth didn't come. Each man and woman received a double tiered or sixteen holed mouth organ, worth at wholesale about 10 cents apiece. "Music hath charms," yea verily. MA KKIED, April 1st, 18G9. by the Rev. R A.
