A IWifAY $. C. Wedn*day geptembep 4, 183. Black ariday. The financial affairs of the United States have marked in the Calendar a notorious date : Black Friday. The 19th of September. 1873, approaches very closely to that well marked and well remembered period. Wall Street has Pain been turned topsy turvy, and the banking interests and stocks of every description have been generally unsettled. Many of the most promi nent hoises in New York, Philadel phia, and other Northern cities, have either suspended or utterly failed. The telegrams are too meagre for us to form a conjeetare as to -the cau'se of these failures, but we know enough to feel satisfied that unless the Govern ment of the Tnited States becomes a purchaser to the tune of about ten millions of dollari worth of stocks, the money market of the country must reach a depression that will amount almost to a panic. . We of course are so far off,that very few will be affected directly by an unfavorable financial condition in the North, stil? indirectly we must, to some extent at least, suf fer. If the price of nioney advances in New York City, we will have to pay a proportionally higher price for it here in Newberry. Speculation with its common attendant corruption has, in nine out of ten cases, been the en tering wedge to the tremendous finan ial crashes which have visited this intry. The multiplicity of Rail Roads and telegraphs in these days, greatly enhances the facilities forspee ulation. Collossal fortunes are made in a few days, and the happiness, the bread of thousands becomes dependent upon their security-then not unfre quently they as suddenly collapse, and untold misery follows. It seems to be the rule that, as society- advances in the scale of civilization, the money power must be centred in and con trolled by the few, while the vast ma jority are left in poverty and misery. If this is the ease, the question, how to obtain the greatest happiness for the majority becomes the most difficult problem in the science of sociology. In the present case we look for a rebound before many days. The Approaching State Fair. It is confidently expected that the annual gathering on this occasion the 10th, 11th, 12th. 13th and 14th of November-will be in keeping with the arrangements made and the in ducements offered. We learn that the officers of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society are making a grand effort to have the Fair the most complete which the planters and the peopfe of the State have ever seen. To this end. too, the citizens of Colum bia are Lending their aid, and propose throwing open their houses to visitors. The Hotel accommodations have been considerably enlarge,d besides, so that there will be nuo difficulty in this respect. The Railroads, woo, are ex-. peeted to show a large liberality. The Premium list is much enlarged over previous years, besides the Aux iliary Joint Stock Co., will give away 1 about $5,000 in speed and horse pre-1 miuws, to be competed for in a sepa rate enelosure. A gala week is looked for, when the planter and farmier can see the products atnd note all the imi provemenits in cultivation, implements, &c.. and the stock fancier feast his eyes on the best blood of the State. We predict a general re-union of the bestpeople of the whole State during that week. Let none forget the Fair. Mfore Disasters and Losses of Life. A terrible accident occurred on the C. C. & A. Railroad, Wednesday morning last, about 5 miles above Columbia, by a collision between the down passenger and an irregulair train, running accidentally out of time. The result was the kiliing of MIr. T. E. Orchard, paymaster, and Jas. Archer, colored, and the severely wounding of Rowland *Williamson, engiecr, Wallace, (colored,) news boy. Slightly injured-Rl. Jamison, engineer: WV. C. Graham, express mIessenger; Jim, a train hand. The locomotives of both trains were demolished. Mr. Orchard was a most estimiable young man and the son of Prof. W. H. Orchard. of Columbia. I is last words wvere~. "What will my dear mother do without mec." On Thursday. the 18th, there was a collision on the Wilmington, C. & A. Railroad, by which two locomoti ves were smashed, and three cars in jutred. On the night following, by reason ofa wash, on the South Carolina road. a locomotive and five cars were demol ishied, and four hands killed. The night express train going east, on the Detroit and 3Milwankie Rail road, wL.it h left Grand Rapids, Mich.1 at half.past G P.

Four boats have reached shore up to this time. One boat con taining Capt. Sweetman and wife and five passengers, has not yet been heard from, and it is feared they are among the lost. Thirtytwo pas sengers are known to have been saved, and-fourteen bodies have been recov ered. No Southerners are known to have been on board. CONSTANINOPLE, September 16. There was a violent storm on the Black Sea last week, which proved. very destructive to the shipping. Seventy vessels were wrecked near the mouth of the Bosphorus, and near lv all on board perished. At one point on the coast two hundred and sixty-five corpses have been washed ashore. The Turkish Treasure Pavilion and Sewing Maehines at Vienna. Among the many attractive features at the late Expoltion was the Treas ure Pavilion. The following discrip tion of it appeared in the Scientific American, Sept. 20, and as it will no doubt prove interesting to our read ers we copy: "Among the one hundred and forty special buildings, in addition to the main exhibition edifice, pertaining td the Vienna World's Fair is the Treasure Pavilion of the Sultan of Turkey, gr the King of the Ottomans. The pavilion is in the form of an oriental kiosk. The domed within eling is painted in arabesques, and and pendant frou, it are five Jarge golden walls. Here may be read the history of the Sublime Porte from the days of the conqueror of Bysan ium, Mahmoud I., to the present Padishah, Abd-ul-Aziz. The golden throne of Nadr-Shah is here, which was renowned in the East before the peacock throne- of the Great Mogul at Delhi was dreamed of. It i marvelous in its workmanship, large aough~ for a coach, and weighs four ind half hundred weight. It is en meld in celadon, green and crimson, d its patterns of arabesquerie are.in ubies, enmeralds and pearls. Above hang the turban and~armor of Sul ma Murad, heavy with gold and ;leaing with jewels. Near it are :he horse caparisons of Selim IH., vith the heavy Mamecluke stirrups Ud 'Arab' bit of solid gold, encrusted rith diamonds. Scabbards, where onthing but diamonds can be seen; ,intures of diamonds; bowls of China )oreelain, their patterns marked out i gold and reset with rubies ; clocks ancased in diamonds and glistening -ith crescent moons anid stars; hookabs rith with golden bowls, and chibon aos whose amber mouth pieces are eirled with- rings of diamonds, ;leam and glisten everywhere.. "The value of the Turkish treasures otained in the pavilion is estimated Lt 27,500,000." In the same connection we copy rom the .N. Y.

The following comprehends those moaJikeIlyoU nteretL Ahe numerous readers oEgour_popfiar J6urnal. On the4th day ofext October, the Trus tees wil! pen a preparatory school. the object aVhic,ill be t-prepare ,young men for ietive business, or for admission to some of Colleges of the University. No charge will be made for tuition, and the requisites to admission will be simply ability to speil, read,y write, and a knowledge of the four element-ary ruies of arithmetic. In this school will be taught all the common English brauches, with L:vin, Geek. Alge bra, Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Chemis try, History, Book-keeping. The conrse em braces four years, but a student m:y enter an advanced class, if prepared by previous study, and then complLie the course iu one, two, thiee or four years, according to circum stances. The students will be unde r the im mediate control of a Principal, but they will be taught by the various professors of the University. This will secure their instrue tion from the most experienced and able teachers, with the use of all necessary ap paratus for illustrating the various subjects of study. This extra labor, the professors cheerfully take upon themselves. On the same day, the Trustees will open a College of Literature and Arts, with a faculty of eight professors, in which will be given the ordinary four years' co-irse of study, necessary to secure the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students not fully prepared to enter this course, may supply their deficiencies in the preparatory school. The course of study in the College of Science and Philosophy will be the same as that in the College of Litera ture and Arts,except the Ancient Languages, aad may be completed in two years, and those completing this course will receive the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. This will be an admirable course for busi ness men. This College will be in charge of six professors. The Faculty of Law will consist of four able profess6rs; embracing a professor of Law proper, and three other professors in the cognate branches necessary to fit the studnt for the practice of his profession. The Medical College will be in charge of six professors and teachers, four in teaching the medical studies, and two giving the necessary scientific and literary instruction. These four different Colleges, each complete in itself, will constitute the Uiversity. Some of the professois will be engaged in more than one College. Each student will be expected to have at least three daily reci tations. No literary institution in the land can give the student better advangtes, and in no other College car, such advantages be enjoyed at so small an expense. Thte various proiessors in the Literary, Law and Medical schools have volunteered to relinquish their tuition fees, so that the student need only provide for his board, clothing, text-books, and pay for his diploma. The diploma fee will not be as in many schools from thirty to fifty dollars, but for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, or M. D., the charge will be $15. By 'tnessing," students have made their expenses of board, lights, fuel and washing, not to excued 510 per month. To board in families the expense will be from $16 to $20 per month. So ample are the buildings and full the faculties in the varios Colleges, that three hundred students cau be accommodatad. 'be sons of South Carolina need not go abroad for instruction, as it is offered to them fre of expense at home, in the pro fessional as well a>- in the literary and scien ific schoo!. It is hoped that the University vill be full next year. CAI:0LINA. lFoa Tas Ilsan.D. SUNNY SIDE, September, 1873. MR. Eniton.-[t has been some time since e have had the pleasure of pen:xing you a ine. Time and circumstances were such hat we could not possibly write. Most of the time we were "ont the witng,'' sight see ing and seeing sights. As we bid adieu to the quiet and beautiful little village of Salem ne calm and cool maorniing in August, whilst the rain was gently pattering on the omni us, we felt as though we we:e going from among kind friends to seek pleasure among strangers: but such was not the ease, for at the depot we were joined by quite a number f friends and met others on the train, oue an old class-mate from Georgia. We were joIned by othiers at various stations on the oute, and ere we reached Atkin's Tank, some undred miles West of our stating point, we found onrselves in a coach full of the >lliest set of "preachers" you ever met, and a no less istinguished body than that of the South estern Virginis Synod, which was to con ene at Cedar Grove Church, Smy the Co., It has been our good fortune to pass -over this route several times, hut every time some new feature presenits it<elf to attract our notice. The line lies through a most pie tureque country andi presents a variety of enery. Awhile you are daishing through most lovely valley. covered with springing grass and rich haryests of grain, then into deep, rough and rugged moutlaiu defile, perhaps to be plunged in to Egyptian dark ness in some dark tunnel, when you emerge to have a majestic river-burst upon your en raptured vision. New River is a grand old stream, atffords water power enough to turn Virginia upside down, if they could only get water-wheel large enough to b>ear the pressure. Large rafts of lumber are con stantly passing down, and occasionally a fiat boat. Owing to rapids, &c., steamboats can ot ply in it. We have been told that the scenery in some parts surpasses that of the Pali<ades on the Hudson. ClIffs rising for undreds of feet perpendicularly, and most >eatiful tees reaching to the water's edge; imbing vines atid blooming flowers; cry ng birds and swimiming fish, all lend to the m~hantent of the view. But we arc ont tlc ailrotd and not on the river, so let us returtn. Gen. Mahone is having most elegant depots at up all along the line of the A. M. & 0. 1. R. Sonic arc completed and other.s are in progress. Had we time we would describe ne of these buildings to you, and give you some idea of their great convenience and the elegant matnner in which they are fur nished. There is a great deal of travel on this line,drawn by the fine watering places and ountain hotels. Every- Hotel from Bristol to Lynchburgh was crowded this sumr, and many large buildings used for colleges, &c., were converted into boarding houses to comodate the incasing demand for lodgings. King Cholera routed the inhabi tants from our Southern regions, and they sought refuge in the mountains of Virginia. Here the .enllow of the South can be replaced y the bleaching of pure mountain breezes. Here the freezing chills and burning fe'vers can be driven away, and here the weak and emaciated invalid may recover the bloom amt hilarity of youth. None can know and appreciate the healthfulness of this climate, otly those who have enjoyed its bracing and sparkling water; who have rambled over its lofty mountains and wandered through its green vales. But hark!' the bell taps and we must go. I-ow sad to he cut short in the midst of our 'curls." More next week.

Send our address to Ludden & Bates, Publi,hers, Folt I1HE lif'!:ALi.. MAI. EDITU.-I have been p1anting in this County for twenty-one years, ;nd there never was in that tine such a f-ailure in crops. The oat crop was a fair one, but so small in area. it amounted to but little-the wheat crop wu next to nothing, and the corn is a complete failure. There will not be enough iade to feed man and beast as the should befed un til the 1st otJanuary next, The cotton crop will fall sliort of last years crop at least one fourth-many will not make this. -if half as much. The calamity is upon us and the question is what are we to do? Shall we sell off at present prices what little cotton we will make and pay i- all out for bread and meat, and go on eacd year in the samne way? Tihere is in my opinion but one way oat of the present dificulty. Sell off what cotton you ure compelled to let go, and hold the rest, as the price will be forced up by the scarcity. The crop is a failure, not only here but tbroughout tile cotton belt. It is impos sible to make a cotton crop with the fall of rain we have had during the past year, and particulaily during the cotton making season. I was told by a friend not long since, who kept an accurate account of it, that it was forty-eight inches from*1st September, '72 to 1st of September, '73, We have been unable to stand it here where oar lands .require a great deal of rain in Lummer. South and and West of us the rains have been death to the crop, producing rust, rot, catterpillars, and boll worms. These pests are most disas trous this year, as there is very little early fruit, and the crop will be very skort. Now to the main question, how to get out of the difictilty. First, gather all the forage you can-the crop of hay is fine. If you keep your racks tilled with it you will not nced so much corn during the winter. Look to your barley lots at once. Put in ohe half acre for each work animal, commencing now and sowing one lot every two weeks unt til December. There is ijo feed equal to bar ley in the Spring for work animals. There is nothing they are so fond of. By sowing a succession of lots you can use it from March to -June, then thresh out and use it as corn. Next put in four acres of oats, one half black, the other red or white, for each animal. This will come in when the barley gives out, and if well done and harvested properly will make next year's crop with very little corn for the work teams. Next put in one half acre of wheat, if you can, one acre will be better, to each laborer on the farm. If well put in we will soon have very little else to do as there is but little to gather, i: will well nigh feed the people on each place, with good gardens and turnip patches, &c. Do these things and you will save your teams runnitg through the mud andchy this winter and next spring to Newberry, wearing themselves out hauling corn. Be sides you will be able to hold some of your cotton and get a good price for it, and best of all the money will be yours when you get it, to be applied as you wish in material im provements or othei .vise. I am not simply writing these things, I shall practice them as far as I can. I remain yours, very respectfully, ELLISON S. KE[TT. FOR THE HERALD. PROsPERITY, Sept. 19, 1S73. DEAu HEPALD :-I expect you are begin ning to wonder what has become of your correspondent. WeAI, he will offer no apolo gy, but say his duties have kept him .o busy for the last few weeks that be has had little time to write. Prosperity is going on very quietly.. The new stores are one by one being opeued, and filled with goods. The places teraporarily occupied look deserted. By the middle of October, if not before, all the new houses will be occupied. Neuv cotton is coming in every day; and the platform at the depot, so long almost deserted, is being rapidly filled up. We saw yesterday a new dray. On in quiry we found out that it belonged to Mr. J. IM. Kibler. It supplies a want long felt in our town. One more shop1 is needed here. We refer to a good shoe shop. A good shoe maker could find cnou:th to do here to keep him employed. We hope some one will take the hint and come on. We have some "so called," hut we want one who understands his business, and can make sHOS. A branch of some book store we think could do well here. It's need is felt by many of our citizens. With these two wvants supplied we would be completely fixed. A suggestion to the citizens of our town: can we not get up a reading room, and have it supp!ied with good reading matter for the improvement of our people ? We ought to try to make nien tal -and moral progress while we are pro gressing in other matters. We hope some steps may be taken to set on foot such an enterprise. In the country around about town the cot ton is opening rapidly. The constant rain of the ha.st two days will do it much injury. The health of Our community is not as good as it has bectn. There is a good deal of fever, some cases right severe. Mr. Win. Werts lst a child last Friday. rliis is the only death we have heard of. We are just fronm the Stone 111ll country where we have had a very ineresting meeting. We do not ktnow where we have*seen so much interest manifested in a meeting. Congregations were large from irst to last. We go down toward Lexington, and if we see anything of interest in that portion of our County we will let you know of it. Since writing the above, Mr. J. M. Wheeler received a sevete wound in the left hand by having it canght In his gin. The cuts are severe, but the limb can be saved. Whten we arrived at Colony Lutheran Church ont Sunday evening, we found that it bad been openued atnd the closet broken in to. Nothing was disturbed, however. We think they were in search of wvine. Se time ago, some one broke in and took what was left from communion; and as we had just passed a communion season, I suppose they thought there would be more left. laut the elders have learned to keep it more se cuely. It is sin enough to inidulge in wine too freely, at any time, but to steal the com munion wine from a chnrch-catn it be for given? -PIlI. "Tuaow PHYsIC TO THE DOGs.'-"IE Gaprc" recently gave an illustration of the new chromo issued by the Murray 11ill Publishing Company, 129 East Twenty-eigh th Street, from Bispham's painting-"'Throw Physic to the Dogs." The subject is a little girl physicing various specimens of the ca nine race. The scene is a laughable one, and the different attitudes of the dogs arc exceedingly pleasing. It was designed to illustrate Dr. Foote's aversion to drugs, and accompamnies each copy of his well-known work, "Plain Ilome Talk and Medical Common Sense." The Doctor's p r a c I c ee is- thoroughly "New Schoo," and in this way he stands promi-] nently out from the profession a successful practitioner. The book is a volume of 91-2 pages and 200 illustrations, filled with facts undI reason relating to mankind, and their soeial and physical status. The Graphic says of it: "It is an encyclopedia of useful knowledge." A noted clergyman of this city testifies to its merits, remarking: "It is a library in itself. The Franklin Repository, of Chamnbersburg, Pa., speaks of the picture as "a beautiful chromo, very pleasant, and so enjoyable as to be almost good company."-NEw YORK ExPRESs.

Iron inthe Blood AN TONIC MAKES THE WEAK STRONGS The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect edf Solution of the Protoxide of Iron. is so combined as to have the character of an aliment, as easily digested and assimilated with the blood as the simplest food. It increases the quantity of Nature's Own Vitalizing Agent, Iron in the blood, and cures "a thousand ills," simply byi Toning up,Invigorating and Jritalizing the System. The en rziched and italized blood per meates every part of the body, repairing damzages and weste, searching out morbid secre tions, and leaving nothing for disease to feed upon. This is the secret of the won derfu.d success of this remed y in curing Dyspepsia, Liver Comn plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar rhoea, Boils,NervousAffections, Chills and Fevers, Humors, Loss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blood, or ac companied by debility or a lowo state of the system. Being free from .Alhl, in any form, its energizing effects are not fol-. lowed by corresponding reac-. tion, but are permnanent, infu sing strength, vigor, and newo life into all parts of the system, and building up an Iron Con st it ution. Thousands have been changed by the use of this remed y, from weak, sickly, cuffering crea tures, to strong, healthy, and happy men and women; and invalids cannot reasonably hoee it ate to give it a trial.
