At St. John's Church, in Charles ton. on Sunday, the 26th uIt., special services were held in commemoration of the distinguished and lamented Lutherau diviue, Rev. John Bachman, D. D. Addresses were made by Revs. T. W. Dosh, W. S. Bowman, J. Fry, D. D.. L. Muller and J. H. Honour, all of whom eulogized the life and character of this great and good man in the highest and strongest terms of praise. Th-re are few men whose lives have been so useful and whose character has been so-nearly perfect as Dr. Bacbman. His nane will be revered as long as the memory of great men lasts. What We Think. The Charleston Chronicle says: "That the Democrats have no pcssi ble chance of electing their ticket is an acknowledged fact. Their duty, in stead of standing aloof and. throwing mud at RepubiLans, is to ~take hold with the Republican Party and throw their whole weight and influence to elect to office men who are.known to be, or presumed to be, honest. What thinks the Newberry IIERALD." The Newberry HERALD thinks that the course spoken of above is the die tate of true policy and common sense. and would. revolutionize things in favor of good government in this State if practiced. Let the Chronicle, which "has never stated that there is no need for reform," see that' honest wen are nominated in opposition to the corrupt Rinig in the comning catu paign, amd. the 1)emocrats will do thyeir. part in favor of honesty. Neverthe less is it not as much the "duity" of Repiiblicans to eschew dishonesty, which they acknowledge to exist, as it is for Democrats "to take hold with the Republican party" to .eleet honest of ficials. whieh everybody knows are needed?. Organiae. It is time for the honertanid con servative people 'of the:State to be n to organize for .the fall elections. Longz before this Tax Unions or some other kind oif unions should have been formed that a good fight may be miade against radical corratptionl which no one is so blind that hre e:unot see or has the hardihood to deny. Let the people think about and determine upon some line of aetion, and wvhen we say action, we mean motion, not passiveismn or neutrality. Let us have nothing to do with the- do-nothing p>licy. Its baneful linfluene~ hasL al ready erippled our energies anid lulled as into a lethargy which is fatal ti political freedonm. -The contest need not be a party contest, but a fight be tween those who prefer good govern ment to bad governmnent.' Let parrty distinctions go to the dogs. if their release will bring back the honor and itegrity of the State and order and prosprity to. the people. The case is not hopeless. There is power arid influence in the-property holders and itelligent white men of the State. which will winr success, if pride and prejudice and a foolish adherence to effe.te not ions are thrown aside and eveiry man goes to work as if the bat tle depended upon him alone. Politi cal principles are nlot a pa~rt of aun' morality or eksra2tesr, A ruan may be a democrat or a repuablican, or neither, and yet be a gentlemen, and an honest man. anrd a Christian. They are but lines of govermenutal policy, and way be. mrust be, iad are changed when the good of the commioiwealth drnnd it. Therefore, we say,le the coat of old notions a 1,hrown off and everybody go in for good gowern. ment, regardless of party lines. And to this end organize for a suare opposition, net to the negro as a niegro, but to the uinc~jtiipled ad-) venturers who have unade him instrui mental in working injury to the State. We believe theC colored people rmay be cociiated, or a portion of thern at least, if we have the n'orve and moral courage to do it. E.rery colored man gained to the side of honesty makes us two votes nearer to victory. The~ Finance Question. TIhe reat and 901 absorbing qjues tion of~ the dany is the finar.ee questioih wheher e. pansion or contraction, an Iincresed issue of legal tenders or a return to specie payment, shall be the palicy ot the govern inent. After an I was secured by a hrge lepublic vote, theiefore, great was the const nation among the friendi of the I when it was returned without the e-:ive approval. ft is intimated tl the motives of the President in vetai the bill were not altogether immacula that the influence of the boudhold( of the great Northern cities was m( potent to him than the demands the West and South. But we see good reason for imputing bad iotiv to the President, for it is a questi upon which men may easily diff Indeed it seems to us that t veto wvs an act of great mo courage. done as it was in face of t fact that a majority of his own frien voted for the bill. We confess tl we know little of so deep a subject national finance, but we are dispos to think that expansion, or inflatic could not in the end benefit either t South or the West, the two sectio which contend for it, and therefc bzlieve that the veto of the inflati, bill is a wise measure. The Sou and West, particularly the South, I ing in debt. might be temporarily e cited to artificial activity by an i creased volume of currency, but a i action would some day come with i direful results and leave them wof off than before. The laboring class< the bone and sinew of the natio would, we think, be injured by inE tion. While the price for labor won indeed be higher and thus seem to beneficial to them, yet the inerea.< price for labor would be nominal ai not real, since the means of livil would be higher, and that, too, in greater ratio, since labor rises in pri the last of all. But a question of finance is not be settled according to the notioi and wants of any particular sectio Though the East cries for specie at the South and West demand mo greenbacks, yet neither is entitled satisfaction at the expense of the othe The question is a national one and tl good of the whole people must be coi sidered and not that of any particul" class. The relation of the nation I foreign ecuntries is also an importat point to be considered in determinio such.a m1om1ettous question. As a neople of a nation and as nation, wt. want thena a. sound. fixe and solid currency, based not upo: credit but upon actual property < upon gold, which represents propert; redeemable in.gold, dollar for dolla at any time, and this we understatn to be what is meant by the expressint "returaing to specie payment." Sin< gold is the standard of value all ovt ;he world, a paper currency to be pe feet should be based upon it and r deemiable in it at par. The-money question will probabi be the dividing line of future politice parties that will take the place of tli parties of to-daiy, which have well nig~ spent their course.

Address Delivered Before New berry Division., No. 8, Sons of Temperance, April 28th, 1874. by Mr. L. C. Moore. . at W. P., BROTHERS AND SISTERS: I always esteem it a great privilege, te, when allowed the opportunity of do ing anything that has for its object re the advancement of the temperance of cause, and especially the good of this 0 ORDER; but while I esteemin these es privileges, I also deplore my inefficien cy as a speaker or an essayist, for while ,r. there are many others here, who could be make a better speech, or read an abler -a essay than I could ever do, it has e been thought proper to appoint we ds this evening. After being appointed. I at shall endeavor to the best of my abil as ity to interest you all, but would ask ed of you to look over my many short In> comings and mistakes. be Mv heart is thrilled with joy by us seeing so many members present ; it is re a good omen; it speaks good things for >u the future prosperity of the Order, th and if we can but keep up the same >e- interest for a year to come, that is X shown at present, there is no telling n- the good this Division will accomplish. - Let each one of us then strive to make our meetings interesting. Let us Qe work for the Order, and use our in 6 fluence in gaining members. When we join a Temperance Society a- we do not simply obligate ourselves to Id abstain from the use of intoxicating be liquors. No, ther, is a higher aimi in a view ; there is something nobler uin id dprstood in the obligation. We are to 'g go into the streets :wd byways, to lift a up those that are fallen, to alleviate 3e the sufferings of the poor, and, above all, to reforim the inebriate, and so to throw our influence around the young s that they may be induced to join us, - that they may abstain from the use of d this curse, and thereby be saved from re years of sorrow and degradation. o We have unfurled our banner to the r. breeze, on it we have: inscribed, ie "Love, Purity and Fidelity," to that I banner we will adhere, those princi ir pies we will defend, until intemperance ;o shall be blotted out forever, It And when we say Love. we mean pure, genuine love. not that which a causes us to love those that love us, d for then what reward have we. We nm mean that love wvhich will cause us to >r weep with thQse that weep-as well as Srejoice with those that rejoice, love for dour fellow-mant in adversity as well as ~in prosperity, in sickness and in health. ~e for ~r "What was love made for, if 'tis not the same, SThrough joy and through sorrow, through glory and shame." Bu,another quality we must have ebefore we can ever expect toJ attain to h ucs,adthat, is purity. Purity in our own lives; we must 'upractice what we preach," or our preaching will be in vain.~- It is needless for me to dwel - here, fo -each oyae of you eknow full welI:the trdt.h of this old a Istying. If we ha.ve this genuine love in our Shearts we shall have puirity in our ii lives, and these two priueiPes will be .tollowed by Fidelhty. fidelity that wilt -*enable us to keep the solemnn obliga. -. tionis we have taken upon ourselves. '~I -aim glad to see that .co-many of It the boys are uniting thiesnselves with ,this liivision. Boys, this is a good cause, a unble enterprise, and I be a* seech you never to give it up, and it ewill make men of you, just such men Ias the c.ountry stanmds in need of. I t is not then less .true, becau~se it has been oftentimes said, that the period of youth is by far the best fitted for ithe imuprovement of the -mind. At your. enviable ago, everything has thme lively interest of novelty and freshness; attention is perpetually sharpened by e curiosity ; and the memory is tenacious Sof the deep imipressions. it .thus re ceives, to a degras unmknown in after ,life: while the distracting cares of the world. or its beguiling pleasures, cross not the threshald of their calnm Sretreats, its distant noise and bustle tare faintly heard, making the, shelter you enjoy mnore grateful; and the strug-* . gles of anxious mortals, embarked upon -that troublous. sea, are viewed from an eminence, the security of which is readhrd mere sweet by the pFoSpect Sof the scene below. Yet a little while, and you, too, will be plunged inato those waters of bitter ness and will cast an eye of regret, as now I do, upon the peaceful regions you have quitted forever. Such is your lot as members of so eiety ; but it will be your own fault if Syou look on this plympe Wh repetance or with shmme; and be well assured that whatever time, ary, every hour you squamnder here in unprofitable idling, will then rise - up against you, and be paid for by years of bitter but nrariling regrets. Study then. I be seechi you. sQ t., dre yo4r minids with learning that you may always possess within yourselves sources of rational It and refined enjoyment, which will en able you to set at naught the grosser i pleasures of sense, whereof other men ' are slaves ; and so ebue yourselves a with true wisdom, and forming your- f els ote iruuhaisw i II3 t eiiae ~pt~ !a maewlke unheuvrtuthough thebt ich Lwheich awaitimu,and bsprur ex am-og 1 1-- ?)J____ may walk unhurt through the tals a which await you, and by your exam y Vices are about us, not to lure us away or make us morose. but to re mind us of our frailty and keep down our pride. Let us put ourselves in a right relation with the world, neither holding it in proud scorn. like the solitary man, nor being carried along by hurried and shifting feelings, and vague and careless notions of things like the world's man. Let us not take novelty for improvement, or set up vogue for a rule of conduct ; neither let us despair. as if all great virtues had departed with the years gone by, though we see new vices and frailties taking growth in the new light which is spreading over the earth. Intem perance has grown to be a great evil in this land, its victims are numbered by the thousands. It has entered in to. and become, as it were. a part of our governuient. It has taken up its abode in, and spread its demoralizing effects over every comuunity. It has even entered the pulpit and dragged down to endless ruin those that were called to preach gla.d tidings of great joy to :Ill men. Seei:, then that tiese things are, shzll we exclainm with one of old. "Drink to-day, for to-morrow we are Uot ?" Shall we calmly float down the current, sniling if we can, silent whein we must, lulling cares to sleep by the music of gentle enjoy ment, and passing dream-like through a land of dreams ? No! dream-like as as is our life, there is in it one reality, our duty. Let us cling to that, and distress may overwheln but cannot disturb us, may destroy but cannot hurt us ; the bitterness of earthly thinzs and the shortness of earthly life will cease to be evils and begin to be blessings. 'Lives of great men all remind us, We may make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sand of time." Let us be bold in spirit. Indulge no doubts, they are tiaitors. There is always a right and a wrong, and if you ever doubt, be sure you take not the wrong. To the standard of Love. Parity and Fidelity, we wil! ever adhere, and up hold it through evil report, and through good report. We will struggle on in daylight and in darkness, ay, in the thickest darkness, with all the storms which it may bring with it, 'till Tem perance triumphant shall be proclaim ed throughout this whole land. "Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for every fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait." But, Worthy Patriarch, I have not touched upon what I deem to be the best and strongest influence in this Di vision, and that is the ladies, of whom we have a large number. And, I think, I can safely say that Newberry Division (did -more for her welfare when she admitted ladies into her fold than by any other one act she has ever dlone. I do not wish to depre c,iate the labors of' the male members. They have labored long and faithfully, andl deserve miuchi credit for it. But the admission of latdies into this Division has given it a caste-a dignity-which never could have been obtained with out them; and there is not a single member here present who can deny it. We all know that in the ordinary af fairs of life a woman has a greaster in fluence over those near her than a man. While our feelings are, for the most pamrt, as.retired as aneborites, hers are in play before us. We hear themi in her varying voice; we* seem them~ in the beauwtifuil and harmonious un dulations of her movements, in the quick shifting hues of her face, in her eye, glad aind bright, then fond and suftfused: her frame is alive and active with what is at her heart, and all the outward form speaks. She seems of a finer mould than we, and east in a form of be:mty, which like all beauty acts with a moral intlu ence uipon our hearts; and as she moves about us, we. feel a movement within which rises and spreads gently over uis, harmonizing us with her own. And aan any man listen to this, can his eye, dlay after day, rest upon this-and; he not be touched by it, and niade better? The digrilty of woman has its pecu liar charactert it awes more than that >fman. His is more physical, bearing itself up with. an energy of courage, which we may brave, or a.strength which we may struggle against; he is is own avenger,:and we may stand the brupt. A woman's ha~s noting of this force in it; tt is of a higher~ quality, and oo delIeate for mortal touoh. Knowing then that we have this in Thence amongst us, does it not behoove is to labor in sneh a way that we may e enabled to keel) it; then is it not our inty to strive to please them, to wvork n concert with and aid them to the est of our ability in this glorious cause? And if we will hut persevere, success vgl b~e pm:a, vietqm:y will he gigeid. The ladies know the power of their uluence; they must be aware of the -esponsibility which this power carries vith it,sand I would beg theni not .to orsake.us, lbut always to remain and ive us the beneilt of their infiuence. Sthqit ye 3Wiy 19 efgeouraged in ou1 abor's, for if th'ey withdm'aw tweiy influm-e nee we will be left in a helpless condi ion.t But there may be some one present rho will say, this success will do very I vell to talk and r'ead about, but it is nother thing to act. Remember, riend, Rome was not built in a day. he great pyramids of Egypt.were hun reso]er nbulig ems d erseihet blip. Wnel m<st I nything without work. Iot us then ersevere, never give up, always be I of the inebriate; to bring sunlight and joy to the abode of darkiless and deso lation, and dispel the elouds of infainy that overshadow the moral world, are the great o1jects we wish to acomplish, andi which call forth the loftiest energies of every true Son of Temperance. Liveried heralds trumpet not the ap proach of our footsteps; io jeweled crowi or mLarshalled host of chivalry and magnificent display:await our com ing; but the hearts of those we have saved, and will yet redeem, will sing a song of praise as they catch a glimpse of oar brilliant vet bloodless banner, and the blessings of happy wives and children will follow and bid us God speed. Our efforts are such as must fill with delight every humai breast ihat throbs with the desire to benefit the moral condition of our fellow-man, while the Angelic hosts look on with approving smiles, and God himself sus tains the noble cause. In the flight of past generations,era af ter era has dawned upon the world,each presenting some great excellence never dreamed of by those of other days. The capacities of the human mind have been enlarged. the moral empire ele vated, social happiness increased, :Lnd all the arts and sciences have attained an almost incredible eminence. .Bt much more remains to be done. We must not be content with the present. but exert ourselves to advance still further in the scale of moral and social improvement: and we- eall upon our young men, those of mature age. and the gi-ty-haired sires, to aid in the work. Oh! why stand ye idle. when the fields are bending beneath the pressure of the ungathered harvest, and so few laborers at their posts. Look around you and behold the ac cumulating mass of corruption and misery that rises like the deadly Upas tree. throwing a foul miasma upon all the air around. Will yon not strike a blow to level it with the (lust? Shall we give our beloved land, the home of Liberty, to the ruthless destroyer, while suffering thonsands of other lands cry for relief? We must save our country from intemperance and ruin. Yes, "'Tis to thy rules, oh! Temperance! that we owe, All pleabnres that from strength and heal:h can flow." Finally, brethren, let ts press on, and battle firmly till the millenitim of moral reform shall dawn upon and illuminate the waiting world. But. all this cannot be accomplished in a day or a year. It will take years of persevering labor. Then let us work. Never grow weary. Always keep the "star of hope" in view, for without it we can do nothing. "Eternal hope! when yonder sphere sublime Peal'd their firt notes to sound the march of time, Thy joyous youth began, but not to lfade, When all thy sister planets had decay'd; When wrapt in flames the clouds of ether glowv, And heaven's last thuuder shakes the world below, Thou, undismnay 'di,shalt o'er tile ruins smile, And light thy torch at naraire's f'uneral pile."

CA., May 2, 1874. -DEAR Eorrous.-I will once more take my pen to write yon a brief letter from this glorious portion of the Coun tv, known to your many reaiders as Chinquepin. As for the soil it compares favorably with any portion of the County. I will not dwell on the continued rains of April, for your worthy correspon dents. K., and C. P. R., have acetr'ately described them, but they omitted to tell you of the hard winds whic.h blew equal to any during the maonth of March. After the many gully renchers, -(as :we old folks call them,) and the hard winds, we had on Wednesday night, the 30th of A pril, a white frost, and it eap)ped the climax, for it killed a great many of the garden vegetables, and will cause many to plant some cotton over. Not withstanding all the rain, frost, &c., the farmers are quite busy at work, and are trying to catch up with the season of the year. To illustraite it, we saw F. H. plowing an ox, with Capt. H. H. F.'s method o'f opecning two rows at. once, we also saw B. A. plowing an ox, and sonme few others. The wheat and oats still look well, although they looked pretty red around the ground from so much rain, but they now look as if they were but slighltly injured. Weecan scarce, ly tell who hats the best wheat, for Capt, G. S. has some qdite nice, and JT. P, S, has sonic In head, not one or two stalks >r in- patches ais yotur friend's clover was, but one-hallf or three-foiurths of the entire field is.in hh>om. It is feared the late frost will injiure it. The gar :ens looked fmue prior to the frost, andl k> convince you of the fact, you have but to take ai peop at Mrs. .'P. K.'s as our p)ass. I think it excels any I have seen in variety. size,quantityand culture. The same good lady has quite a number f your favorite fowl (the chicken). She has certainly not less than one hun red, but the good ladies of Chinquepin reneraUly seem to have quite a number f themp. Whep spe;Maing of the ga: lens, we omitted to tell vou how a giw ikn plowv c:m he made from an old xtton hoe that has9. been thrown away; t is (dori by cutting two inches off of ah side, and theni cutting a small iece oft' of each corner. It is then fats ~ened to a handle like an ordinary hoe, md it will do work almost equal to nany of the bought garden plows, and t will not break, for it is niot made of ~ast iron. As my little ope;i eean liug in their chairs, and Susy says, it is ot an old man's place who hals been loging all day to be writing to Edi-. ors, so to keep peace I close. Yours, MED.

Eichleber ger, of this place, on the 15th of last month. resultin- in the drowning of the former. Mr. Eichleberger was ilconnected at the time the accident oe curred with, and running upon, the Mobile & Ohio lLailroad, when cross ing the Tombia-by river. in conse quence of -the heavy. floods ia that sectiou, the railroad bridge across said stream gave way, precipitating the train into the river, which resulted to Mr. F. as -tated above. Ife was found drowned in one of the cars of the ill fated train. We deeply sympathize with the. afflicted family. The de ceased leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. [Laurensville Herald. There was a chtri:able sewing party in New York the other evening, and during the affair the father of one of the young ladies p1-esent appeared on the scene unexpectedly. lie was so much gratified at the cleverness exhibited by his daughter with her needia that he then and there resolved that he would never pay another dressmaker's bill.

This re mark is true of at least two-thirds of civilized society, an.d of these two-thirds pro,bably one half is ilaboring, under bod ily inatirmiuies of a character likely to shorten the lives of the sufferers.
