What Net1 A BILAS FROM BEECUER. We cull the followirg theological cu riosities from a sermon on "The Beau ties of Moral Qualities" preached by Mr. Beecher on Sunday, May 16, 1869, and published in the last number of the Ply mouth Pulpit: I have no overweening attachment to the church as a physical oiganlization. I am rather under than cver the line on that subject. I believe that the church partici rcbat th globe is-eriee ofGod. - I do not be liere one church is any better than an othetar WRel -ueewcerned.

NEWBERRY, S. C. Weliiesday iorning, June 30, 1869. - o:ler Jcurami. We feel the deepest commiseration for those unf,rtunate editors who feel that their journalistic repntations and the pecu niarr sticess of their papers depend en tirely on the manufacture and publication of three two-column articles in every issue. It appears to be a matter of small conse quence what tbay write ..about-quantity, not quality, being the highest aim of many. Some confine themselves exclusixely to politics, as if their readers were In the midst of an interminable, heated political campaign ; some, again., ordense a ch., ter of Thier, or lacaul.ty, for the edifica tion of those :,-:io hive never read history ; others discuss, in the most earnest and self sacrifieing manner, the very peculiar habits of the Chinese and the Japanese; while others, still, tax their ingenuity to the ut most to rake up from the embers of the Paast Al the dead issues that can form thr basis of articles as uttcrly devoi: of inter ert to the great mass of their readers as a school-boy's composition on the horse.. The editor of a nt wspaper could not possibly make a greater mistake than conclude that he must fill up his editorial columns with original matter every day, even though it be at the expense of other and more interesting departments of his journal. Many of the best newspapers in the country recognize this as a self-evident truth. - Oftentimes we have seen such models of utilitarian journalism as the Pfiiladelphia Ledger and the Baltimore Sun each A ich less than a half column of edito rial matter-occasionally, with none at all. The fa:t is, the conductor of an enter prising, progressive modern daily newspa per understand: that he must subordinate the editorial to every other department of his paper. I1 his advertising columns are crowded; if his general news, telegraphic or local departments have an unusual press of interesting matter, he must give all these the preference. We may be in error ; but we harurd our judgment on the asser tion that except in cases of rare editorial ability, nine out-of every ten readers of a newsp-per tead the: editorial articles lost. Of course, there are e.xceptions to this, as to all other general rules; as when questions of great -national importance are being discussed, or subjecct of unusuar lo cal inmpo, tance are agitating the public mind. But, even under these circumstan ces, the editor is guilty of a fatal error *ho i-nagines that prolixity is a convinc ing argunmett. . Nearl'y all the best news journals of the country are rejecting the old and objec tionuable style of long-winded editorials. They have discovered that no maui of taste or judgmnent is willing to wade through two colutans of type to find out what an editor thinks r,f the A&tlantic Cable er the par chase of Alaska; of Great as a President, or Mrs. Van Lew as. a- postuaistress. .Brevity is u-hat the . reading public Ale iad in a daily news journal, and it is what they will have in spite of the tireless pens of tho.e editors who write for their own amusement.

But on this point Phil is not alone. For verily there is not a white man in South Carolina, known to be a Republican, who is not now enjoying office and the spoils, or has an anxious eye in that direction. In fact a Southern White Republican, who believes in- :Ne. gro Equality and a Mongrel Government, without entertaining a hope of dividing the "pickings" provided for those who profess to sanction and sustain this doc trine,we consider an utter impossit ility.

The mode of treatment is as follows : When the preceding fever i< at its height, and just before the eruption ap pears, the chest is rubbed with croton ol and tartaric ointment. This cause's the whole of the eruption to appear on that part of the bomdy, to the relief of the rest.

Many thanks, M., for your kind remem% banee. The Re~v. Elhsona Capers officiated last Sabbat,h morning and afternoon at St. Luke's Episcopal Church and in the eve ai::g preached in the.Methodist Church. Mr. Capers is a graceful, fluent impas sined reader, Imd a clear, terse logical rea.Oner. We regret the cont'inued illness of the Rev. Richard Furman, .which precludes his attendance upon the religious wants of his people. Mr. Furman's pulpit was ably filled last SabbatLh by his venerable father, the Rev. Samuel Furman. Friendi M. W., who diwells in a plear, ant cot, not far fr-om the margin of Saldu da's lovelf streamn, sent us a "hasty" note through mail, inclosing a cotton iloomn, from the Wert's plant, but those everlasting rats in Riser's Office which ate our pumpkin seed, demnolished the bloon, and Ipartially destroyed the letter. Mr. W. has been improving his cotton fr a number of years and now has cot ton that will, with the same cultivation, equal, if not beat the Dixiona's improved. He has the Wert's and the Dixion's im-. proved growing this year, and the for mer is now far ahead, but, the result can only be determined when gathering time comes. St. John's or Midsummer's Day was cel ebrated at Frot Level, Thursday last, with great eclat-every one present entered into the merits of the occasion with vim. SalIu da and Amni:y Lodge were the guests of Frog Level Lodge, and right cavalierly were they entertained. IL was estimated that the immense concourse of people present, n bered fifteen hundred. A marked feature of the occasion was the quantity of babies preet-evea the ladies- -many of them had babies. We were interested In the babies-enjoyed the show, and think that there must have been nearly a thqasand present. What a crow they could have made!i The immense tables overfowed with every conceivable substantial and luscious viand, and Justice had Its course. A slight shower settled the dust, cooled the air and put dew'.drops on the flowers upon some of' the ladies' bonnets. rhe sum of happiness, made up of little things such as a '-kiss, a kind word, and a pleasant look," seemed complete throughout the beauti ft hours of that lovely morning, and as 3 p. in., the spell was broken, and the gallant party dis-. persed and retired, some singly and alone, oth'. era in glittering cavalcades, and on railroads, a foot, mule back, in carriages, waggons. gigs sulkies, &c. The only conveyances, not on the gound were the velocipede and the wheelbarrow, some of .the vehicles, we re doubtless Improvised for the occasion. It was the largest and most pleasant gathering of the kind that we. have seen fr years. An in.teresting address was delivered before the lodges by Rev. Mr. Hawkins: ~Capt.
