J?WRRRE 3. QA dednesday. February 1 1 8.W . Th Legsit'e. The General Assemiv having agreed to adou'-o on the first of March, but a short time in k,t for the accomplishment of whatever real work is before that body, vet the days are frittcred away with r. reckiw inditference only knon tO and -practced by it. lt is a ed thing as long as it ass, and pays we.l therefore a stow ttngth is dragged along, which may result in a postponement of adjournment or an extra meettng. A re view of the day's proceedings, or a vtisi; to either branch of the assembly, is con vincing argument that but little real good is done, or intended, by a large ma jority of those present. Some of the fire-eatcrs still hold up the situation and cry for blood, while the more moderate and sensible mczbers oppose strenously the measures proposed, which if persist ed in, r..ust eventuate in making matters infinitely worse. Mr. Leslie tells some plain truths and is outspoken in his de naunci:tions against the imhe-iles ; he says "the proper course is to drive out the hordes of robbers who impair the credit of the State, and let the govern ment, which has steered a ide of the mark of honesty, do right, and there will be order and prosperity." lie cuts right and left, and hits Crews, "the wicked Joe Crews," and the governor for allowing such a man to run over the up country with the militia. If there are any Ku Klux he wants "them to come down to Columbia where the head devils are and kill them." The "wicked est man" Joe was arrested and brought before the investigating committee to testify as to his share in the $7,5i0 tran saction. lle refuses to testify, however, and like all the other frauds, the only thing left is to whistle "that's the way the money goes." One day is like an other and brings the same price. A joint resolution widcla has received its first reading, authorizes the quarter master general to purchase necessary -camp and garrison equipage to conpete the organization of the mi:itia. The iuilitii, and new devisements, in any and .every possible and impossible way, to -create new taxes and get more money into the treasury, are the principal ideas which float through the brains of the As sembly. -. 1he Columbia Firemen-New Steamer. On Friday last it was our pleasure to witness the trial of a new steamer, -one of the Silsby rotaries-manufactured at Seneea Fa.lls, and brought to Columbia for the Independents, Capt. McKenzie. The trial test proved the steatner al! and miore than wa-s expected, and after the 'favorable report from the judges appoint -ed-for that occasion, the bargain w:as ;nealed, which transferted its possession -to the Independents, who richlyd --eerve the beautiful machine which is now hirproperty. With this machinea tre can be flooded Out in little or n"' time, so great the volumne of water it ca -discharge, and its force in throwing a distance, 6ills the hearts of the boys run with the machine with joy. The in dependents, and citizens generally of *.he city of Columbia, may well be proud of such an acquisiti:>n to their alreadiiy well apnointed fire department, and it wil not be long, we imuagine, ere the brave Palmettoes wiil be turning aside their old pet hand engine, which has done such good service, and substitutimg a steamer in its stead. And they n ill be right-progress anid imnprovemuent are the watchwords of the present. We do not attempt to give the result of the trild the dlaily papers having already done so, our object being mnerely to compnlimnent the firemen of our sister city-, ansd en deavor if possible to excite a desire on the part of Newberry to try her hand at somnething of the sott. Can .she noet do it ? 0:. the night of the same day, at t hel w.di'&nown tall of Capt. John McKen zie, the Palmnettocs, and a number of in Tited guests, were entertained in a hand some manner by the Iadeper.dents, with good things to eat and good things to drink, and when the "brakes wcre manned" by order of Capt. Mc., it was a good thing to see. After the rough edges were rounded oif, speechies, songs and sentiments fo,llowed in lively succes sion, until a e-mn.aiderable portion of the nige. .a? .,pent. It was a very happy meeting, anxd we take pleasure mn record igthe farit. The Independents offer fir sale then hand engi::e at a mioderate price, anid we would like if our citizens a' ouldi con.sider the matter and make an effort to pur chase. woDS HotrSEUOLD MAG&zIINE is the chcapest and be,t p--rmidial p,ublished. 1i containis a great variety of reading matter, and all its articles are of thme highmest, moru! tone It numbers among its e,nnributo,rs, some of the best writers in the l'nited States.

EDITORS :-It is known to some ,f the readers of your valuable journal that he Trustees of the Furman University have esolved to make it a FaEE LisTITUTION OF EARNING. Atyour rCquest I enclose the ulowing Plan of Endowment, which has >en adopted, and which I hope will be a tatter of in .rest to all: I:ESOLVED, 1. That we will sttcmpt to aise a subscription of $200,000, in bonds, in rder to make tuition free in Furman Utd cr,ity for ten years to all competent stu en ts. 2. That such bonds b'e payable in five an, t:,l instalments, beginning 1st January, 576. with interest p;iyable annnally fiotn st Janu-try. 1871, on the following condi ions : 1.t. That by or b.-fore said 1st laau ry, 1876, the sum of t200,000, in good bonds, r other available mueans, has been secured or a pcrm:ntit fund 21. hat for ten years rom the ofieial anuountcement tl:~ $200,000 ;as been srured as above, the University hial rive free instruc-ion in all coliege class s to all competent students. 3.1. Thatshould my obligor die before said 1+t January, 876 his bond shall be null and void as to he principal, but binding as to any interest lue and unpaid at the time of his death. 3 That during the prosecution of this ffurt, any one giving or subscribing $500, hall be entitled to free tuition at once on his plan, provided the Interest is promptly aitid. 4. That should the endowment be raised u $250.,00, then a Preparatory Department hall he opened, with free tuition, as provided or in the Cillegiate Department. The importance of this object to the cause of Christ, and its incalculable benefit to the tate at large, has awakened an enthusiastic nterest which augurs its future accomplish nent. Nearly one-half of the required sum tas been raised within four months. The :berality of the plan enables the poorest to ,ontribute to this praise-worthy enterprise. tonds of the smallest sums are received, and he obligor has ten years to pay the bond; ive years only the interest is required, and me-fifth of the principal, the remaining five rears. Free tuition is at once secured to any vho subscribes a five hundred dollar bond, trovided the interest is paid-and free tuition o all competent students when the whole um is contributed. Should an individual vbo gave a bond, die before 1876, his bond ill be null and vo.d, provided the interest as been paid. It is almost useless to allude to 'he great tdvantages of education is this enlightened ige. The vast influence of education in ex >anding the mind, refining the taste, ennob ing the character, promoting the prosperity f the State and the Church. must be obvious o every reflecting mind. Every patriot who lesires to rescue his country from the ap >alling cloud of ignorance and vice which hreatens to enshroud his State, will feel a leep solicitude in the success of this under aking. Except the Christian Church, an institu ion of learning that has taken root, Is the nost permanent thing on earth. The Uni -ersities of Bologna, Oxford and Paris, have ariveil all the wars, revolu!ions and dy astic changes which have occurred in Eu ope. Like the unchanghig ocean amid the tpheavals and sub,idences of the earth's crust, hese institutious remain essentially the same n cotstitution, and are still working out heir benevolent purposes. In what manner can our' men of weal.h nore permanetntly bless their country, and ink their names Indissolubly with future ~eneratons, than by endowing such insti utions of learning? Can wealth be more onorably or remune-ratively employed by he patriot ? Should not the coutse of Jef erson, Crozer, Vassar, Cornell, Peabody, in *unding Colleges which will exert a bless'. d itfluence in moulding character for cn, uries, incite us to imitate their noble exam les? Who would not rejoice to unseal a >erenniai fountaitn of learning, which would -ontantly pour forth its healthful, bean ifying streams of knowledge over our .mitten lan.d? Several citizens of this county and town tave contrihu:ed liberally to the endowment >f this University. We would be glad to re -eive honds (of any sum), subscriptions and :ash from any person de.siring to aid this ause. J. K. M ENiW.NHA LL, General Agen: for the State. 'o the Editors of the Newherry IIerald: 'ravelling throngli this district a close and ractical observer is forced to the conclusion hat many of the people have no proper ippreciation of the scienee of painting; many >f their buildings though tastefully construct td and with a view to utility, never have >en painted, and many of them have not eenO painted for so long a period as that the nemory of man runineth not to the contrary. l'inting is one of the oldest of the sciences; 'races of its existence as one of the fine arts aving heen found among the ruins of the >ldest dynasties. It has a two fold object. 'pon its use our houses and the majority of ll articles produced by the industry of man Un-l depend for preservation from decay and 'os.,moe extent for beaiuty. It ranks next to rood, r-rment and shelter, among the neces :sares of life: while the labors connected with its numher!ess applications give daily em ployent to thousands of people. Yet, not -ithstanding all this and much more that might be said upon the subject, there is no anc of the sciences so little understood by the people at large: matny believe that arny per son can nmix arnd npply paint equally as good :s any painter. Now, nhile it may with truth be conceded that the mere application of the material after it has been p operly prepared is only moehan icat, and requires but little effort of the men ta forces, it must be nnderstood that in :he chie of material and the process of :omponding the same so that they shalt be rot simpie mnechanical mixtures of oIl and mineral substances, but true chemical com-. ounds, endowed with that closeness and in imacy of union which will prevent them rom sepaLrating when thinly spread out up n a surf.ice. It is hut reasonable then to ay that to e.ahle a person to do this proper y a thorough knowledge of the materials ob ainale, including their checmical properties ,:d elec:ive otfinttes antd the nature of the ubstace to tbe acte-l upon, is necessary to e prosecution of the work. This proposi ion seems self-evident when we say th-at to niint iron requires a very different prepara :io'n to what w. uld be good for wood, but it s not so evident when the closer observation md practical experience is necessary to ena ie the nmechanic to properly cornpound te naterial for different kinds of wood under lifferent circumustancees of exposnme to weath ,r, and in different stages of decay. .\nd rere comes in the objection that exist< to -eady mixed paints. so-called: they are most ,f thet taantufactured in the North and ren lered suitabtle for that climairte and the differ, -nt .stages of dlecay inebilent there:o. But to .he ensumecr this is not :he only or most ' i al objction, they are in fact the most costly --fair comparison will show; 100 lbs. lead ,will take 5,gals. oil to mix, and will make iout 10 galk. paint. Cost---00 lbs lead, 93 00, 5 gals. &it. $r 25: tota i 1925 for 10 rals. l'rice of (,remical Paints, S3.00 to I thereore dare to say- that the experlenrce f al 'cientific and practicail paintera will en lore the~ staternen: that the carbonate of lead yrwh it lead, arnd the oxide of znc, known as .: ,whtearne tIhe twro nrinerpnal h-rscw now generally used fur the manufacture of paints, 1 and that nothing has yet been found to fix them in solution ready for use that has such an affinity for them as good Linseed Oil, which, when mixed in proper proportions, produces a conponnd capable of being thin ly spread over any surface and still retaining its compound form. When paints are applied immediately after a building is completed much Is saved, the wood has then much of its vitality in it which for some time protects it from the ATMOS PuERE, and the different causes of decay; if painted this vital part of the wood is retained and will b, retained so long as the same is kept well covered with good paint, as is fully established by numerous iustances in Europe and on this continent. JAMES PACKER. The Commercial and Financial Chronicle of New York. OFFICI OF A. C. KACFMAN. No 25 IIROAU-STREET, CUARLEBTO$, S C., Feb. 9, 1871. I cordially commend to those gentlemen of business, Bankers, Brokers, Merchants, &c., here and elsewhere, whose notice The Chron icle as a financial and commercial monitor may have escaped, to look carefully into the merits of this paper, even now accepted by many as the standard Journal of America in matters pertaining to finance and commerce --its extended and extending circulation be ing the strongest testimony in its favor. I would here take occasion to remark, in pass ing, that its editors, (personally known to myself,) are gentlem.n of intelligence, re finenient and culture. This accounts some what for the paper being conducted on the exactest principles of honor and integrity, and with tn ability, vigor and independence seldom equalled and never excelled. So generally known is this paper that no Banker's or Merchant's Library throughout the leugth and breadth of this vast country is considered complete without it. It can be fouud on almost every desk,always a faithful companion, friend and guide. I do not pre tend to argue the merits of this paper, but simply ask the skeptic to read and be con vinced. I have been r(qucsted by the publlsh'ers to act for them in this section, and have con sented, in consideration of the nnuny courtesies they have extended to me. I will receive subscription money to same ($10 per annum) and show or ship specimen copies of the pa, per to those who may desire to subscribe. A. C. KArcGl11AN. TUE IRON-C.AD.-This miserable onth, which allowed no man who had, directly or iniirectly, given aid to the rebellion to hold office under the Fderal Govert mert, is repealed at iust. It kept out tens of thou-:ads of good men, but was no bar to the equivocating knave. The only restrictions now imposed upon hon est Southern men are contained in the Fourteenth constitutional amendment, and these, we trust, (ta% s the Chaileston News) will soon be a'/oli-hed.

These gentleman will sell any goods besides, which our citizt'ns pl.tce in their bands on small coumminiott. A Movr: IN Til RIOT DIRECTION.-We notice that 3lessr<. S P. Itoezrr & Co., and W. A. Cline ar' manufacuring here, that very useful Agricul.ural Implement a "Cot ton seed l'lanter, and Guano D)istributor." This i" at it should he, as by making them here, our friends are saved the heavy freights charged on such articles when brought from a distance. MR. .. 1. B;ATEMAN.-We are under re newed obligations to the above named gen tleman, in that he is every now and then sending us a "bate" for our Inner man, of choice Norfolk bivalves. The last sent were beauties, and plump and large as they were delicious. and reached us fortunately the same day that they were sent. Any orders sent to 3ir. Bateman, Columbia, will receive prompt attention. GrocBRIES.-A choice lot of groceries have been just received at the store of Messrs. Barre & Son, which, added to their previous stock of dty goods, shoes, hats, &c., enables that house to t.uppiy a greater demand than before. These gentlemen have set out to give satifaction in all the lines, and it will be surprising if they do not succeed. They have elegant sugars, the finest syrups, best flour, choicest b.tcon. Try them and be convinced. RETURNED.-We ate pleased to note the f.ict that Mrs. !tobert Pratt, Mr. 1R. B. llolt man, and 31r. G D. Smith have returned with their families to Newberry, and that several Newherians, now in the West, are anxious to return with their families, but eatn:>t becau,e there are no vacant dwellings. This we regret, and hope that our public spirited citiztns owning lots may find it con ven:ent to put up Yuitable and well-appointed houses. We would like to see all of our friends 'home again.' LBT TttE 1IERCHEEN l'RAT.-An other wise good old deacon of a church somewhere, lost his level in getting sulky at the introduc tion of instrum<ntal music in church ser vice. lie did not absent himself, but wrapped up in his sulkiness he lost the enjoyment of the worship. On one occasion he was called upon to close a meeting with prayer. lie re fusd. "Let the nercheen pray," said he, "if it can do the singing it can do the pray ing." And pray he would not. This old crust is not a solitary instance of the tffect of prejudice over reason. In every commu nity there are those who would have the ''mercheen'' do the praying.

'TOE (CotUuaA IloTEL.-The visitor to the city of Coumbnia, ei her on business in. tnt, or in quest of ple:nue, will find this hotel the very plazce. Admirably located in te very centre of trade', it affords utnusual failitie, to the nano of limited time. It is in the centre of fa-hion also, and from its broad porch atd spacious windows the view is ever pleasing. The house is furnished in elegant style, and conduc:ed after the most approved mode, and its table kept supplied with the best which can be obtained, and served beside-a very imp;ortatnt desideratum -in a way which cannot fail to please. Mr. Gorman, its proprietor, seems to be titled for the position of host, and his polite book keeper and assistants, use all means to make visitors comfortable. SnArs. Thte weather, with the exception of brief gleams of sunshine during two days of last wek, has been as had as possible. Itain. mud, cold, warm, thunder, lightning, anti rain again, make up the days c.f late. The condition is miserable. Those wh4o are not barking from the effects of bad colds, are sneezing themselves fast into them, and cru,cl,cough, pneumonia, influenza an Cniriis, consequent upon such a spell of weather, is the order now. .Jubiter Pluvius must certainly have opened all of his sky-lights and turned his screws loose. Appropos. This is a good titne to burn out chimnics; and speaking of chim nies reminds us of the fact that a chimney' sweep could drive a lucrative trade in our town in partnership with an umbrella mender. A little two year old sprout says the rain is a nasty, old dose neegur, and he's going to knock its head off. If he does we fear the remedy wi be worse than the disease. With itq head knocked off we might have a deluige. In view of the bad weather and wet state of sofi we advise gardeners to defer outside operations for the present. Paterfamilias No. f> called upon a well known physician the other night somewhere Ibetween the sung. Doctor toll him that he had just left te dom icil of number 1, and had been notified by 2, 3 and 4 to hold him self in readiness. This speaks volumes for the up-country of S. C. Vide an article in a back nitumber of the New Eclectic. The posts are being put up. and it can't be long before we have a telegraph. From Co lumbia to Littleton, about fifteen twiles, are already set. Newrberry will then be in town, and shouild no longer be classed with the outside barbar ians. The next thing she should have is a fire engine. No town of size and commercial Ipoition as Newberry is, should be without an extinguisher. a veteran tireman says he hears that the citizens of Newvberry fight fire with mud. The possession of an enginte will put down such slanders. By S"t. .J:les "the work goes bravely on.' The roek pavemenrt is going rapidly up the street:; latest reports state that the sappers and mtiners have reached. Whta pity that thte depot wasn't lo cated "'this side, inrstead of "tothzer cide." Fifty miles of 1i tron we are told, is ready for laying on the G. & C. IR.It., and that ef-. forts are in the bud to put the road in good condition. The removal of the Post-office forces pedes it a raining." So stamps yet allowed by the Department. The Atlantic Phosphate, advertised by Messrs. Mayes & Martin, is offered to the farmers of Newberry as a good thing, and they are advised to give it a trial. Attention is requested to advertisement of Mr. A. Harris, who will dispose of his stock of winter goods at cost. Also to choice lot of pink eye potatoes. Insults are like counterfeit money-we can't hinder them being offered, but we are not bound to take them. Messrs. Motte & Tarrant have Lucerne, Clover, Miller and other seeds for sale. Lent commer.ces this year on the 22d of Febrnary and ends on the 9th of April. Don't fail to read the new advertisements of Mr. RIbt. McCaughrin in this issue. Lawrence Marshall has a few more of the same sort left. MARRIED, On Thursday morning, 9th instant, at Ithe residence of the bride's farber, Mr. Jomx C. LANE and Miss LIZZIE BCZZARDT, young est daughter of Mlichael Buzzardt, E-q , all of Newberry. We know that the beautiful wedding cake from the fair bride was intended for us, as it was crowned and enriched by a profusion of happy dcvices, In the mid,t of which nes tled our soubriquet, all tastily done in icing and rose leares, &c. We have neither adjec tives, verbs, adverba tor any other part of speech just now at our finger tips that will express our admiration and wishes, conse quently we take refuge in the following pres ty lines from Capern: No scene is balf so sweet, In palace, ball or cot, As when the wedded meet, If love illunies the spot.
