edesday, Jtinie 1, I80. The Convention. On the 13th the promise is given that law, order and reform will be largely represented, and that the Convention will be a success. Delegates have been already appointed from nearly every dis trict in the State, and the colored ele ment is reprecented in each and every one. We mistake then if the interest manifested by these sensible colored men in this movement for reform, in lending to it their aid, in the face of the violent opposition and threats of the league, which would bind them body and soul to their purposes of corruption and villainy, will not produce a most wholesome effect. It is time that the colored people were throwing off the yoke, which must, in the end, and that at no distant day, choke them, and the fetters of a league which would array them in hostility to their white friends, and blind them to their best interests. It is time that their eyes were opened to the fact that the league is the great power of the raaical party, by which they hope to keep them in control and make them subservient to all their vile purposes, and the means by which they are enabled to retain their power and fill their pockets. How many of the honest, well-intentioned colored people are any better off in a money point of view to day, than they were before they joined -themselves to this atrocious party ? How many ? Where are they? They cannot be found. And why, because it is only the rascals, and sharpers, and plotters who, being a kin in villainy to these radical leaders are permitted to share in the spoils. Think of it colored people before it be too late, and do not make idols of those who care only for you so far as you are able to help themn. We repeat that the promise is cheering to see so many who are no longer afraid to have a contrary opinion to the league, and who fear not the terrible threats held over them, nor value the oaths by :hich it is hoped to bind them. We advise those who will meet in Columbia on the 15th, to reason matters over with their white friends, and come home again determined to work for a better endition of things, a condition which can only be broegbt abou.t by putting out of olice -these tax-gat'herers, for they can 'be ca'lled no fitter name. it is the taxes wrung out 'of the poor people, the w-hite and the colored alike, which sup ports them, and enables them to build .gnt houses, buy farms, ad keep fast salantlscey. Agreeable to arrangement the dental frn.ternity of the adjacent counties met in 'Newbe-rry last Tuesday, and held a t:ee days' session in Dr. ,J. RI. Thomp son's offce. The object of the meeting was the organization of a local dental society, which was most happily ac complished. Dr. Newton Sims, was called to the chair, and Dr. J. Rt. Thompson, appoint ed Secretary. Dr. R. S. Whaley moved for an organ ization of the body, which was effected by the election of the following officers : Dr. Newton Sims, President ; Dr. R. S. Whaley, Vice-President; Dr. J. . Thompson, Secretary, and Dr. W. A. Fallow, Treasurer. Dr. R. S. Whaley moved that a com mittee be appointed to draft a constitu tion and by-laws; whereupon Drs. RI. S. Whaley, WV. C. Wardiaw, and J. . Thompson, were appointed a committee. The Committee submit~ted a copy of Constitution and"y-laws, which were adopted as a whocle,-the body to be known as the Saluda Dental Society. The follow-ing Commtittees were ap pointed: Execntive Committee.--Drs. J. Q. Mc David, R. S. Whaley, and W. C. Ward law. On Membership.- Drs. J. R.. Thompson, E. C. Jones, and W. A. Fallow. Operative Dentistry.- Drs. J.R.. Thomp son, W. C. Wardlaw, and E. C. Jones. Mechanical Den tistry.-Drs. R.. S. Whaley, J. Q. McDlavi't and W. A. Fal low. On Essays.-Drs. W. C.. Wardlaw, and J. R. Tbompson. Dr. W. C. Wardlaw moved that in ad dition to the other duties of the Executive Committee they be required to furnish matter for consid,.ration at subsequent meetings. The following extract from the Con stitution of the State Dental Society recently formed, clearly expresses the object of the Society : Its object shall be to contribute to the elevation of the Dent-al Profession, in South Carolina, by encouraging a free and liberal interchange of opinions on methods of practice, and the literary dis cussion of subjects relating to dentistry ; to advance the standard of dental educa tion; to promote the usefulness, honor and interest of its members, and to enlighten and direct public opinion in regard to the 'uties, responsibilities and requirements of tbe Dental Profes sion. The next meeting of the Society will be hll at Williamston, Abbeville Distriet ,S. G.,.on the last Thursday in August next, at i p. im. Death.of Win. Gilmore Simms. The Charleston papers bring us the mnelazrcholy intelligence that this eminera South Carolinian died in that city on Saturday las. Pleasant Goode, the serving man and friend of Gen. Ma-icy Gregg, and a good democrat, die in Columbia on Monday la'st. Hie was esteemed by his white friends for his unswerv.ing fidelity and sound principles. When a married man becomes corned, it is per recty pri-~er for his wife to pull. A New Discovery in Corn. In the Kansii Fiiicir, for May, is the following short article- which we copy for the benefit of. our farmer friends. We believe there is something in it, and as no harm can possibly come of a trial, we urge that-a test be made: "An intelligent and reliable neighbor of ours, who has for many yettrs been making experiments in corr:, has discov ered an importance anw- value in replant ed corn, which is quite novel, and wor thy of publication. We have always thought rep;.r ted corn was of very little consequence, but this gentleman says it is of so much consequence he replants whether it is needed or not-or rather, he plants two or three weeks after the crop is planted, a hill about every fif teenth row each way. He says: 'If the weather becomes dry during the filling time, the silk tassel becomes dry and dead. In this condition, if it should be come seasonable, the silk revives and re news its growth, but the tassel does not recover: Then, for want of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the office for which it was designed. The pellen from the replanted corn is then ready to sup ply the silk, and the filling is completed.' He says nearly all the abortive ears so common in'all corn crops, is caused by want of pollen, and.he has known ears to double their size in this second fill ing." What does it Mean? "Governor Scott has granted the use of the State House for'the June Concen tion." Governor Scott and President Bush while in Greenwood lately, discovered a cripple who desired to attend school, but could not do so on account of lame ness. They immediately ordered a pro peller for the unfortunate young man, and before this it has reached him. We find the above items in the Phu nix, and while we are ready to give the devil his due at all times, we ':re ata loss to account f'r Dr. Scott's reasons for so doing. Is he dreaming dreams, or is he plotting against the whites, in granting this privilege extraordinary of allowing the Convention to m eet in the State IIouse. Perhaps it's another gunl order piot. May be not though, but a sign of amendment, or of contrition for his past unfatherly conduct. Oh Dr. The Talbotton Standard says since the rain five more stands of cotton have come up. The whole face of the earth is covered with it. The drill is full, the middle is full, and it is still coming up. In appearance, the cotton fields in Talbot County resemble a good stand of voung wheat or oats. It seems as if the whole country, not content with the old system, would like to grow the staple broadcast. We hear of the same thing in this re gion of country, and have no objection, but rather that it may continue to spring, and the stands be multiplied, until the whole face of the earth indeed be covered with it just for one season on!y, that the price may come down: We honestly be lieve that not until cotton comeCs down will the eyes of the Southern farmers be opened, and their hearts. c-onsciences and patriotism 'oe touched, for it has to be done through the pocket. It will hurt no little, but the end subserved wiill be for good. We invite attention to card of the. Mobile Weekly Register. The Reigister stands in tme front rank of jonrnalism.

W e had no idea that Kansas could produceo suceh a good thing.

It is only 81 per year beside. Published by Geo. TI. Anthony, Leaven worth. Bwlmou's Maolirant MAGAzINE-The guly n-amnber of Ballon's Monthly Magazine is the commencement of the Thirty-second Volume. Its popularity is deservedWy very great.

Demorest has also ontdone all others in his liberal oA'er of valuable Premiums. A new and extraordiz);ry list is given in the July number, whieh -is veryi attractive, among which is a fine and .valuable parlor chromo, printed in eightee colors and worth 8.00, to be givent as a prem:ieua to each sub scriber.

AN:CCAL SESSION OF TUE GENERAL Lu THERAN SYNoD.-The annual session of the General Synod of the Lutheran Church in the Southern St2tes com menced oti the 9tb at Winchester, Va. The Synod -is an influential and able b hody, and is expected to transact, on this occasion, quite an amount of business of special interest to the Lu theran denomination, as well as much also that will attract the attention of the entire Protestant faith within its greatly I extended jurisdiction. The following is the clerical and lay attendance from South Carolina, as far as we have been able to ascertain it. Revs. J. S. Boinest and J. Hawkins, of Newberry; Revs. John II. Honour, W. S. Bowman and W. W. Hicks, of Charleston ; Rev. J. P. Smeltzer, of Walhalla ; Rev. A. R. Rude, of Columbia; Revs. J. A. Sligh, P. Der rick, J. N. Derrick and W. A. Houck, of the interior ; Captain G. S. Hacker and J. F. Schirmer, of Charleston ; and Majer P. E. Wise, Captain J. P. Aull, W. Ilaltiwanger, G. Evers, Dr. D. L. Boozer and F. W. Bedenbaugh, also of different parts of the interior. CAPPET-BAGERS GoING THnoCGn TEX AS.-The message of the Governor of Texas makes an exhibit of the finances of that State, which illustrates in a marked and signifidant manner, the beauties of Radical rule. From the 3d of September, 1867. to the 16th of April, 1870, a period of over two years and seven months, the expenses of the State Government are given as $1,024,891,31. For the coming fiscal year, the estimated outlay is $1,500,000, which is fo say that one year of the reconstruction rule is to be fifty per cent. more costly than over two and a half years of unrecon structed. The editor of the Marietta Register is getting into hot water on the woman ufTrage question, and proceeds t) define his position in this highly diplomatic manner 1. If a woman is disposed to argue with us in favor of womnan's suffrage, we are in favor of it also. . 2. If the lady happens to be against it, we are against it likewise. 3. If it is a mixed assembly of iadies, I one or more on each side, they may have it out among themselves, we holding the bonnets. Tim POLIs U COLONY ix TIm:CmsL1.-'lhC Richmond Whig harns that the Polish colony recently established, under the auspices of the Virgina Land Agency, in the upper part of Amherst and in Bedford Co., is prospering well. The colonists have already planted out 50,000 grape vines, and speak confidently of the pros. pects of a large return. They are expect. ing an accession of one thousand emi grants to join them in a. few weeks. The lon. Caleb Cushing, the president of this Polish Enigrati,m and Goloniza tion Society, refers to it as a great enter prise, from which the most important and valuable results are to be expected. A Fr.non Co:%imG.-The Mobile Regis ter paints this glowing picture: "We arc at the beginning of a flood tide of a vast white immigration from Europe. The grain business is over-done in the West and in California. T h e r e are no further temptations to money making in these regions, and to-day the South offers the most tempting field for newy settlers of laborers, artisans an'd capitalists in 'he known w.orld. The whole civilized world is waking up to n consciousness of this fact, and those oi us who live five years longer will be amazed at the results of causes nosv in active operation.'" "Poon~ WHITTEMonR."-An i!iforral canvass of the IIouse shows that Whitte more will hardly get the .seat to which his constituents have returned him. Members very generally say that they cannot consistently vote to admit him when they have voted at the same ses sion that he is unworthy to be a repre sentative of the people in Congress General Logan will, take the position, it is said, tbat Whittemore's re-electioni is an insult to the llouse. Matthew G. Emery, the "Reform"' can didate for Mayor, and a Republican, is elected Mayor of Washington over the present incumbent, Sayles J. Bowen, who was nominatedl and supported by the corrupt Radical Ring. Emery received the support of the honest and substantial citizens of all parties and both colors, and his majority is ever three thousand. The vote reached within a thousand of registration. Three colored men were elected to Council on the Emery ticket. . CONsTANTINOPLE, June 11.-It is imn posible to say how many lives were lost during the recent conflagration ; some Iput the number at 300, others 1,300. Trhe Sultan has becn active in extending relief to the sutr'rers. More than 1,000 houses of Turks haye been thrown open to Christians, who were burned out, Large sums of money have been subscrib ed for them by the people, irrespeedtee of sect. A friend writes to us from Kingsville, that the train which left this city for Camden, yesterday, at 1 p. in., was fired into, near the old junction of the South ICarolina and Charlotte Railroads. The ball (supposed to be from a pistol) passed between Miss Wright, of Sumter, and Mrs. Diseker, of Columbia. The broken glass was scattered over Capt Frederick, Dr. Dliseker, and Messrs Paul Joyner and Graham.-Phoenix. - THE I.MAcrL.TE CADET !-Thc New York Sun asks: Will the disreputable Whittemore be allowed to take the seat in Congress to which he has just been elected ? It is thought that the Rep'ublican majority in the House will receive him. What a moral city Washington is getting to be ! Such fellows as Brancroft Davis in the State Department and Whittemore in Congress! A Pittsborg colored man asked a girl whom he bad been following, and an en Itic-e stranger to him, to see her 'homne. She accepted, and on arriving at her home, set her dog on him. He left his hat, coat-tail, and a piece of round steak inside the yard. lie now sits down with difBeuity, and has a pillow under the spot. SAN FRAicisco, June 8.-Returns irom Oregon show that the Democrats etected the entire State ticket, and hvfieto eight majority on joint ballot, seurn the senator. The Republicans claim a Imember of Congress. The Keowee Courier says that a de structive hail storm visited the northern portion of Pickens on the 3d. The crops ~on somne plantations were destroyed. 1lail as large as hen's, eggs fell, and to the depth of eigh teen ini'hu LOCAL.

C., who do a very large local and nterior business in the above line, advertise n to-day's Herald, and give the prices of t1 ome of their goods. Their McClellan sad% ti les, and harness, &c., are said to give satis" action, both as to quality and prices. See d ard for particulars. A Drrr.r..--We learn that an ex.legislator tnd officer. of the melich had a squad at irill on the College grounds Sunday after 'oon. This thing of drilling -the militia ti :ust be of paramount importance, when fi the gniet, of night and the sanctity of the a ,abhath are invaded by their movements. Was it a military necessity, this Sunday h ]rill, and is the crisis so near? TRY IT.-Six drnchms of carbolic acid, dis- a tolved in one gallon of water, is a sure pro ection of vines against insects. The little g ;triped bug dislikes this preparation, and v ieeks his dinner elsewhere. Ii The "Union Fertilizer," a large ingredient )f which is carbolic acid, will not only drive tway insects but improve vegetation wonder- t 'ully. The credit system has come to a pretty ta >inch indeed. The following dialogue is 'n >roof enough, and but that we don't wish to C ~xpose the shifts to keep up trade which a :his country merchant is reduced, we'd spell n ut his name. For instance in proof-"IIow's n ;rsde,; Square?" "Well, only a little on ti tredit. Ant Betsy boughbt an egg'o wonet or ea, to-lay, and got trusted for it till her speckled pnllet lays." D)on't this take the d ag off the bush? ? A MO!NsTER MUG.-Our yong townsman, s WIr. 0. Schumpert, lately returned from his e .,uropean travels, has brought back with him v glass beer mug, which for size is quite a n ~uriosity. It will hold over half a gallon. t: Ic informs us that this kind of mug is only tl sed in Berlin for white beer, and this b)eing u , very superior beverage, is much drank by b he Berlinians. Hence we suppose the reason tJ 'or the uncoufrnon size of this drinking cup, tl six of which are emptied by a practiced white e aeer drinker at an evening's sitting. Mine t, gott vat a country. TaRAL Justic/S CoURT.-Monday morn ng, Ransom vs. Gourdine, or Gourdine vs. sansom, or State vs. both-not known. Principal evidence, parties proper-one a -ad, other dem. Fell out about a 'oman, :ussed, and parted, subsequently meeting, a 'ad offered treat, dem refused, rad then beg red dem to step into street, which was also -efused, with amendment to walk down a among the tombstones and have a quiet r; trave-yard fight. Unanimously accepted. ~ [ufore the execution of this quiet arrange- b 'nent it was mutually agreed to drink, andb while in act demn touched rad's glass with sentiment-"here's hoping whoever gets ticked will get a d- good one"-drank aalked to grave-yard, fit ad feut briefly. Not known who struck first, but one or the >ther while scratching his head, received a kick in the ab. IIitched, fell. dem on top, rad had pistol drawn, dem said drap dat pis tel or I'le mash your mouf withl flint rock. Pistol drapped. Parties arose, nobody much burt. Constable made arrest. This was r ~etimony principally, and which was so muddy that justice charged the jury in an xceedingly delicate manner, and jury being r is considerable loss how to decide between ~he two, brough t in a general verdict of not ~uilty, which was highly satisfactory. TArT TRAm,.-We are told that the trial which took place in the Court House, on last Monday week, before one of Dr. Scott's new :olored trial justices, (the ease an alleged as- I utut of a white citizen against a colored unendmen)-was highly amusing. En the Grst place the justice swore the jury in as witnesses on oath. "now de ebidence you 1 shall gib, &c. Then an ir-ortant witness who knew all about the ad'air, and saw it with his own proper eyes, on being cross examined, knew nothing of it, and did not see It, but said he had been told to say what he did because his friend said if he did not, he'd get mad with him. As to the time, he said it was Thursday, and when asked what day after Monday, answered the second day. This remarkabie witness haid sense enough to see that he had made a "divershun for de Court," and told it, the Court, -"any how I knows how many days dere's in a week." To the question, how many, after a short and troubled mental calculation, but with a light which diffused itself all over the ebony of his countenance, and culminated in a broad grin at the mouth, he answered, "Fivn! dere now, I does knnw dat!" The justice, at the conclunion of the examination, seeing and feeling that the end aimed at, namely, the crimination of the prosecuted party, was exceedingly doubtful, according to the evidence, charged the jury-a white one-"now you must bring dat man in guilty, if you is white!" The jury however, did not see the point that his worship wanted, and declared not guilty. it was intended to give a full descr-iption of this highly ludicrous affair, but the indi 'idual who took notes has disaippearcd, and ye ar;: unable to do more than as bv HE MELISH - Dr. Scott absent-angeic creatures-white chester-ashamed of their party-speeches--song-select party-nigs not in-true republican eloquence-night meeting-slim attendance-Judge Carpen ter abused-assault-kisses, &c. The melish paraded on Friday last, and a ila day was made of it. That Dr. Scott iled to keep his appointment and meet his -ethren in arms was unfortunate, but it did )t long dampen the ardor of the enraptured nall crowd who waited for the coming train om Columbia which was to bring him, and aly a momentary disappointment was mani sted at his absence. when it becathe known at he had sent in his place a score or more amendments from head quarters, from hitcy,black to sooty, :nong whom were a lf dozen of the hardest looking specimens the white carpethag fraternity we have ter before seen. We were surprised at the ant of taste in the Doctor. Why did be low such a thievish looking set to come are? But to go back. They "looked like 1gels jast dropped down from the clouds" the darkies, and as they stepped out in eir striped tights, and exhibited their spin e shanks, all except one for he was a plump flow and showed his keeping, the crowd irly yelled, and the women singled them it, exclaimieg, "ab dat's my man wid de bite hat,""dere'smine wid de long mustuch 3 color of a pig's tail." or from a venerable .d woman, "bress de lord dere be him, dat's ty master, de fat one, he look like one of d master's white chester's, dats him." nd it was-Judge Hog-ec himself. That d lady could have gobbled him up, carpet 1g, tight4, lies anr1 al', and a good thing it ould have proved for his frtily, for we do ar that he will yet i)rlr their grey hairs in >rrow to the grave. The doctor must not grieve that his repre ntatives were so kindly received, nor for a oment think that he was forgotten, oh no, r though lost to sight to memory he's still mar, he lives in the hearts of his beloved >nntrymen, the men who fought the fight > nobly on this memorable Friday near ravel town. IIe must make all allowances, r these people are very susceptible and can >t be expected to make discrimination be reen the sublime and the ridiculous, par cularly as only the ugly side was shown, ad then too they do love hog. We beg in ulgence then for this mark of enthusiasm )r the man, the master not being present .nd whent the band stepped out and blew, rd beat, and jangled, the entire party were a the top rail of glory. They then marched in procession, that is ie darkies, not the white heroes of this fight, >r they took the back way apparently shamed of the work they were engaged in. .nd they marched in line and out, about one undred armed and equipped with those inchester's, and some fifty more with pla irds made of candle b'nrds, and a few more ithout adventitious adornment ; but we on't follow the march. Arrived at the round, speakers being present, the usualad ice to fight against the white rebels and old fast.to Dr.. Scott's coat tails, intermin led with cuts and thrusts at the Charleston lews and the Newberry Herald, as being ro-of the most dangerous papers the great epublican party had to contend against, ecupied serious and prayerful attention for ro or three hours, at the conclusion of haich the old woman's favorite, white hester, grunted "root pig or die" We -ere not present,but ha7e been told that each tan acquitted himself nobly, and that un tistakable signs could be seen in each coun mnance of a determination to go in for Joe, Ilaving exhausted the stoch of cut and ried lies, these heroes again left their dear 'id very hungry colored friends to march ione once more, while they, a select litter, >ught a more congenial place tc cat the fried aicken and cocoa-nut pies so amply pro% ided, and drink of champagne eider fur ished from the State brewery. Why did tey not walk with their dear brethren ? were tey ashamed of Dr. Scott's melish ? and 'by were the colored leaders not allowed to ave a piece of the cocoa-nut pie ? We ask te eolored officers and speakers, why were tey excluded from the chicken and the co sa-nut? Ifgey won't answer,wc will. For te reason that these spoil hunting,deceiving ummers might privately, as they picked the alcken bones and turned over the savory iouthfuls of that same cocoa nut pie, say mong themselves, "didn't we fool them rice more, the stripid creatures, they'll go >r Scott again, and that is all we want; once tore for Scott and they can all go to -- oy place they like." That's the reason -y, colored folks, but we are not endeavor tg now to persuade you into the right way, ni angel from heaven clothed in soft white timnent, and with a tongue of fire would be it-ned from in preference to one of these andy-legged, striped-breeched, carpetsbag ummers. Go your way for the present. In the afternoon the motley crow d took ossession of the outside defences of the oartflouse, and werec talked to for about u hour or more, by sundry of the colored >wn orators. We endeavored to catch ie sub~stance of these harangues, but found ;impossible, so very stupid and ridiculous rere they, the most intelligent utterance be ig "that the republican arm (Winchester. erhaps) of the United States, was the true ~publican government of South Carolina, nd F.thiopian republicans were down on very body, and heaven could not take true spublican principles away, for France, Spain, ngland and Anglo Saxons were joining the rue republican United States," &c., all of rhich, after sundry repetitions, and only a few y,chle yells from the crowd, was followed by tie only sensible sentence that had been tut ered, "i could tell you a great deal more, if only knew what to talk about." At night there was another meeting, very limly attended, which, we are told, struck a hill to the hearts of the lieutenants; this ick of enthusiasm was altogether unexpee ed, and the worst fears are entertained that hie sensible colored people are beginning to mnell a rat, and are growing tired of keeping alth with such a party. The small atten lence too, during the day, from the country, ras a most noticeable and favorable prognos ication of better things. We have seen wice as many colored people in town on ale-days. when they were not invited, and aiing to attend on this occasion, after "-spe :ials" were sent all over thte coutry to in -ite and insist on en attendance, strikes us as remarkable. The colored people of New >erry county arc getting on the right truck! At this night meeting, Judge Carpenter yas violently assaulted, we are told, and teld up as a renegade of dcepest dye, and en itled to everlasting perdition; of course iudge Carpdnter will appreciate this accord og to its value, as will the Charleston News ts lashing, and as does the Ncwbcrry Hecr tid. With the exception of an assault on agoed ~olored democrat by a true republican, and or which this democrat, in accordance with hbe present state of the law, is bound over o~ stand trial, there is nothing else o record, except that the Dr. 's lieutenants tad but a sorryv tale to unfold on their return o headquarters, and hett for the memory oj heI c hicn and cocoa-nut pie, and thesmailes )f the true republican women by day. -and heir kisses perhapV by night, they must ce1 that their l.ahor is in vain. A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the best of men. And if men can relish it why not women, therefore we aim as often as convenient and advisable to season our local with a litlo fun, especially for the la dies. We sincerely trust our efforts are ap preciated. A sure way to stop a woman's mouth-kiss it. Adam was the only man who never tantal ized his wife about the way mother cooked. "It is a curious fact," says some entomolo gist, "that it is the female mosquito that torments us." An old bachelor says it is not at all curious. If courtship is bliss, what is marriage-blis ter. Why is a flirt's heart like an omnibus-be cause it always has room for one more. Three things a lady cannot do. 1, She cannot pass a milliner's shop; 2. She cannot see a piece of lace without asking the price; 3. She cannot see a baby without kissing it. A woman's will-won't! A Cincinnati man says that what between -the jealousy of his wife and the bad temper of his mother-in-law, he lives "'twixt the devil and the deep sea." "BITI '."-A case of veritable, matter of fact, "biting," occurred in our town, on Thursday last, between two colored men of the masculine gender. William Dobson actually bit off the nose of Paul Reardon. The "noseless" i'Idividual was taken into the drug store of A. An derson & Co., where his olfactory pro tuberance was restored to its natural form and locality. It is hoped that it will "stick," and that there will be no more such to record soon.

Said Diek was of the nyasculine gender. lHe was true to his trust at all times. Whenever he heard the bells ring for church he always came up to his master and looked him in the face as much as to say, are you agoing to church ? and on the day of his death, when the bells were ringing for church in the forenoon, said Dick was down, and all by-standers thought that he was gone, he raised his head and howled mournfully, and not being able to go, he laid his head down and give up the ghost.

Ina justice to myself, and to explain to the community my position, I take the pre sent opportunity : In regard to the show or the company of players, they applied to the County Comn missioners, for the privilege of performing in the Court House, and the Commissioners granted it, but did not desire it as stated. But as the Clerk of the Court refused- to deliver up the key of the Court House, I wrote to him to say that I as one of the Commissioners demanded the key, as I knew the Commissioners had perfect con trol of public buildings, and was therefore responsible, accordingr to a recent act of the Legislature. He still refused, and gave as his authot ity the order of Judge Vernon, to this eiTect, that if the C. C. wanted the Court Hlouse for County purposes therein mentioned be would give up the key-this is all admitted. But I do deny that I made use of the expression "that the show should take place in the Court Hlouse if it cost $1000." I also deny that I failed in open Sig the door on account of not having a key to fit, for 1 had a splendid fit and could of opened it which I did, but after an ex amination, I found the door not locked. I also deny that I made the'- threat that I would wade through blood-but on the other hand this expression came from Mr. Pavsinger, the Sheriff-who had been noti fled by the.Clerk of the Court, that if the Court House was opened, to arrest the par ties so doing. And without any notifica 'tion, Mr. P'aysinger told several men to arm themelves. I then went to Columbia, het for what purpose I do not think is any per sous; bju-sim:e. Mt.EL DJOGAN.

Men often leave out of their calculations such little matters as doors, blinds, sashes, mould Ings, &e ,and in the end find no comfort in the house which they have built. Remem ber, therefore, before building, to write to P. P. Toale, 'Charleston, S. C., the largest manufacturer of doors, &c., in the South"rn States, for an estimate of tbe cost of finish it g.

'The Imman stomach is to the human system what that elastic piece of metal is to a chi onometer. It innfuen.ces the action of the other organs. and con trols, to ai certain extent. the whole living ma chine. The cornpari"on may be carried1 further: for as the weakness or other imperfietions of the main spring is indica,ted on tihe face or the time piece, so also is the weakness or other disorder of the mtomnach betrayed by the face of the invalid. The complexion is sallow or faded, the eyes are deficient in lustre and intelligence. and there is a worn, anxious expression in the whole courte nance which rell as plainly as written words could do. that the great nourishing organ whose cffice it is to minister to the wants ofthe body, and to sustain and renew all its parts, is not performing its duty. It requires renovating and regulating, and to accomplish this end Hotte' Stomach Bitters may be truly said to be the one thing needful. The broken main spring of awatch may be replaced by a new one, but the stomach can only be reared and strengthened, and this Is one of the obects oflthe famous vegetable restora tive trhich fr eighteen years has been waging a successful contest with dyspepsia in all clhmates. As a specific for indigestion it stands alone. When the resources of the pharmacopoeia have been exhausted, without, at best, doing more than mitigating the complaint, a course of this wholesome and palatable, yet powerful,stomachic defats a perfect and perman~ens cure. In all cases of dyspepsia the liver is more or less disor dered, and upon this important gland, as well as upon the stomach and bowels the Bitters act with singular distinctness, regulatig and rein vigorating every secretive and assimilating organ on which bodi ly and mental health depend.
