WAseTrole, A pril 7.-The Senate has passed the bill known as the "personal disatility bill," which authorizes par ties elected to office in the Southern States to qualify under the modified test oath; but there is little hope of it going through the House this session.

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 wks spoken of, a number of gentlemen, farmers and others, have had the sufject under con sultation, 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 ins 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 riot hola 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 meni 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 ou, 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 Golumbia on the 28th inst., where will be delegates from nearly all tbe districts in the State, and after so long an inter val, the meeting will be of a highly ini 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 jecet, we suggest that it be held in the Court House on Sa:urday, the 24thbinrst., just before the nieetinag of the State CIon vention, and that at said meeting, dele gates be appointed to attend -the Cort ventiona in Columbia ANt APPEAL. IN A GloD CAUS.-We 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 of 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 wec be-s: eak for it, in obedience to the request of the ladies of the Association, a place ini the columns of our Southern ex changes. The followin~g is the apapeal: TO TnEi WOMEN OF TDE soCTHI. The ladies oft tho)e federate Memo rial Association of Lyn<a.hburg Virginia, would respectfully call .the attention of their sisters of the Southern States to to the fact, that several thouasan,d soldiers from the various States are huried in the cemetery of that city, and earnestly solicit their assistance in the work they have undertak en of erecting a suitable monument to their memory. The Lynch burg Association has already enclosed the Cemetery, turfed the graves, and are now collecting a sum to defrav the expense of the monument. The im poverishbed condition of the people of Virginia, prevents their caring for the graves of the Confederate dead who re pose in her soil, in the manner they desire, and theyconfidently appeal to the women of the South to contribute to their holy worik. Any donations may be sent to either ofthe undereigned of the Association. Mrs HI . F. BOr'OCK President Mis CARRIE N. W Alt WICK, Secetary. Memorial .aUeciation of Lvzaehburg, Virginia CoLtTNDa, S. C., A pril 11th, 1869. Mr. Editor :-Master Ferdinand Carri, the young solo-violinist will give one of sis admirable entertainments in your town on the evening,of the 20tha instant. [t has been the goo-l fortune of Colurn Jia to produce several-distinguished mu iicians, and of them, Master Car.i is :ertainly the niost gifted. iIe is a mere :hild, only thirteen years of age, and ~xceedingly smill in stature, but the wonderful power he has over that most lifficult of all instruments-the violin - and the exquisite expression with which de renders his pieces, has induced all sho have beard him, to acknowledge aim a genius. In all the most difficult novements upon the v'iolin-pizzicato, staccato and harmonics, he excels, and uls bowing, the best test of a tine violin ist, is graceful, vasy and finis.hed. Mas ter Carri has received here the h:ghest mncomiums of our cilizens, and has been appropriately styled the boy artist. I trust he will receive of the inhab itants of New berry a cordial reception, and I feel assured that it w ill be a source of conigrawtidion to all who attend hi1 -on.... "rmIOLINST. For the Newberry Herald. - Tread softly, lightly, here, 'Tis sacred dust. ANox. 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 their heroes, and in this feeling, this veneration for those who lived and died in an "illustri ons course of virtue," in a great degree, may be attributed the high qualities and the gre.it deeds which have imnmortalized-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. I, 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 iirst object should 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 -1 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 atiou 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 conme, when they read the names inscribed on its face, will feel moving within them the senti meat, "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." The writer of this artiele has no selfish feeling to gratify, in makihig these sugges tions. Those of his blood who fell in the war sleep else where-beyond the limits of Newberry. He is actuated solely by the feeling which he trusts belongs to our peo pie 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 sore.e noble ma'ron or daughter of Ne berry lead off' in this laudable work. Let the proposed association of ladies em "race the whole District,.and your corres pondent ventures to predict that the move imeuit will meet with general favor, and that the men, old and young, of the District, will respond by making liberal conatribu tions of money to carry iL out. 0 The Abbeville Enistments. *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 until Governor Scott's testimony was given in the con tested election between Reed and Hloge. T1he Abbeville papers published this testimony and denounced it in such a way that it threw Scott into a tr ansport of passion, as we are informed, Hie at once attempted to have the writ of ha beas corpus suspended. In that he failed, b,ut he had a joint resolution passed authorizing him 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 had 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 that be had authority from Gov ernor Scott to raise a company of one hundred men to keep A bbeville quiet. It is said that be had enlisted about fifty negroes, (we have:r never heard of his asking a white man to enlist) when several ga ntlemen of the village expos tulated with him, and he said, he con fessed himself thatLhe thought it would have a bad effect, and he promised to ask Governor Scott to suspend the or der. I amonig others urged him to do this. Since that time we have not heard any thing ab)out it. I have un derstood that Guflin has declined for the present the services of great nium he-rs of negroes which have been offered him. Volunteers mat $15 per month are numerous. ThIe thing seems to be sus pended for the present, but I presume it will be put into operation before an other election, to dragoon the uncon querable opposition of the people of this counutry. "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 Bottles annually, and it is constantly in, creasing. It only shows what can be done with a realty good medicine, and a system matic course of making it known. Perhaps Do medicine in the world was ever so de servedly popular as the Plantation BItters.

MY DEAR I:ZBALD-What is your opinion o calico parties and balls? I think that they "an a miserable subterfuge!" On dits-That the visitors to our city are re galed upon lamb and green peas with min sauce, and desert of strawberries and cream that the young gentlemen of the fire departmen are working with Titan energy to make theii coming anniversary the rival of its predecesson -also that Augusta, Columbia, Savannah, and possibly some of the inland towns of our owt Carolina will be represented. (Cannot the gallan sons of Newberry with a handsome steamer.takf their place in the picture, for It will be a pretty and enlivening one); that the specialties o1 Charleston are> velocipedes, asphaltuni pave ments, Grecian Bends, ,considerable bend, with but little of the Grecian) fish, daddy Cain and Senator Corbin-I mean no disrespect to dade dy Cain. Charleston has enjoyed a splendid spring trade. Father tells me that merchants have been here from far and near, and that the spring sales were never better since the war. Yet, he observes that it is only a commission business, after all. The major portion of the proceeds of the sales effected going North, with but very little more than the commissions remaining here. I heard him say to Captain -, of the ship - , who recently spent the evening with us, among other things, that absenteeism and the want of manufactures here,were a positive Injury to Charleston. ' A magaziie is soon to appear In this city bearing the ponderous name of the Nineteenth Century. It will be conducted by gentlemen of exemplary culture. Rev. W. W. Hicks, and F. G. DeFontaine. E-q. As names of journals should be indicative of character, principles or power, I shall expect much from the Nine teenth Century! I do not care- to allow my eyes to wander upon the forbidden ground of politics,eepecially such gross perversions of the great princip'e of right, as is now manifest yet I do not think that a woman should be unacquainted with the elements of governmrnt. espec ally the rami6 cations of that under which she lives, but from the political doings of the day, as I occasionally have a glimpse at them, the fact is revealed that we are surely drifting into empire. One can see signs of it here. Ilium fuit. "Let us have peace." Be kind enough to send me an occasional package of your exchange papers. I think that I should like to peep into the sanctorum of your brethren-confreeres as you call each other of the quill driving persuasion. It must af ford a very pleasant hour to retire to some cosy window In the attic. and there, not "cab.. bined, cribbed, confned," but tancy free, en. joy converse with those who are largely respon. sible for the interests of Society. and at whose hands the "Commonwealth should suffer no detriment."' I tell you, sir, that the press is a power in the lbnd-the palladium of rigths, a bulwark of safety, and a covert from the spoiler, when it maintains a firm integrity of purpose and unwavering faith in the right. But when it panders to a vicicus taste, and trumps up vice, in guady colors at the expense of virtue, It be. comes a terrible engine of moral destruction. From a venal press may the South be delivered! I have thought that, unless I had something of special moment to communicate to your paper, I would b-- your "occasional" correspondent, as you no doubt have a great many male readers, I wou'd not like to compromise myself by ap pearing often before them in what they might suppose a letter of "souod" If not of "fury", and "signifying nothing " I know so well the estimate some gentlemen have of women.

A GOOD BILL -Show bills. unless plenti, fully covered with striped horses and a score of attractive r;presentations which people vainly imagine can be performed, or any other kind of hills, such as bills of lading, bills of fare, bills which require settlement, or what not, are all as nothing compared to the bill which Mr. llorton .slarshall proposes to fill. His is a bill and no mistake. Have you seen it?

SWELLING UP.-A little girl in church with her mother becoming anxious for the minister to close, felt relieved as he came to a pause on concluding his "thirdly," but when he gavi signs of still going on, she nudged her mother and said, "oh mother, look, he's SWELLING up to begin again." Now, ministers are not the only ones who swell up to take a fresh start; but the swell% ing to which we now allude, seems not to have the same effect upon people as the mii, ister's did upon the little girl. In a busi" ness,way it's all right. If anyone has the curio-ity to look into the store of Messrs. Lovelace & Wheeler, they will then see this swelling we are speaking of. It has had the effect of adding about fifty feet more or less, to their business dimensions, wl.i -h addition, al space is to be filled up with the indispen, sables of life. Swell on gentlemen, and may your shadows never grow less. GGCcEttT.-As # ill he seens by adver tisemnt, a concert will be given here on Tuesday night, the 20th of April.

Look in at Mower's ba Qon and bonneznI CHEAP MUSIC -Some time sin.ce an ads vertisemnent appeared in a New York paper, which stated that a ma,1ecal box which would pg,~y sixteen airs would be sent to any one remitting the price of the instrument -$d. liere was a chance! Sixteen -beauti. ful airs-in a horni-wo should have said in a box, for a mere song. The man that hath no mu-ic in his soul, would hardly no tice such an advertisement and there are not a few men of that character; we have seen men who object to pianoN, think it a waste of money to buy such articles, and a greater waste to consume titte in playing ott them, have seen some too, who don't like "sorry" nades, music at nightfal', or a "walk round" on some elevatedl house top by a party of Thomas cats; such men of course would pass such an advertisement by, with su-. preme intdifference, even though it promised that a box phaying sixteet iii s could be had for only $2. I here are others, howe'ver, who are fu!l of mu,ic-they like it in ainy shape, from a spasmodtc, asthmatic sitngle horn. t> a tull ban-i Such men are fond of music-boxes, thiete is always otne to be found in their houses, and they never let slip an opportunlity to add to their stock. This advertisement was seen by us, but als. though we do love, music delicious, and can play on the jewsharpsicon, and have not only seen but beard that instrument of all others which even lays the harp of a thonsand strings -in the shade-the tronduenmliphi lopena trasiamento, yet we did not send for one of Mr. Grandliars sixteen air $2 boxes. Several others did, however, and we are sors. ry to say that they have taken a dislike to music ever since. Several two 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 month organ, worth at wholesale about 10 cents apiece, "Music hath charms," yea verily.
