Be Was Born Ser On ourouside will be found a short history of the boy Jesse Pomeroy, the child-murderer, the horrible details of whose crimes fill the imagination with wonder- and almost doubt that nature could produce such a character as is nolbi,ught to view. The New York News calls him "the champion monster O'4fde period," and says, that of all the.aonsters born to monstrosity that Naturm has produced in human form JessePomeroy. the child torturer and killer, seems to be the most mous trous. Although this phenomenal boy's deforihi'y is identified with his moral and not his physical essence, he must be esidered no less a lusus nature than the Siamese twins, the children, "with two heads, and oth er creatures brought into the world with abnormal bodily attributes. Sometimes, a child is. born with won derfully exceptional capacity for mathe matical calculation, or f)r music, or with astonishing powers of memory, or with some other gift that is marve lous, because far beyond the accus tomed limit of Nature's creation of such qualities. Fortunately, those ec eentricities rarely assume the hideous form of a primitive and uncontrollable oging to inflict torture and death upon one's fellow-creatures. It is Jse Pomeroy's terrible fate to have been born with that propensity born with the instincts of a hyena. or with a characteristic still more horrible, for the hyena kills by the impulse of hunger, or of brutal anger, but that boy cuts and mangles and murders in cold blood for the mere gratification of the strange and devil ish cruelty within him. Such cases are as we have said, fortunately rare, but Master Pomeroy is not the first to have demonstrated their possibility. The instance is authenticated of a family in England that made it their occupation. to waylay. travelers and put them to a cruel death in the dis mal recesses of a forest cave. There have been men known, too, born with thie instincts of the vampite, with literally a.thirst for humao blood. It happens no doubt oftener than any of us are aware, that people, perhaps moving among us, have unnatural and dangerous longings and appetites, morbid impulses toward certain ex travagant actions, but are at the same time possessed of sufficient power of will to resist the Satanic inclinations. Master Pomeroy, however, seems to be possessed of a fiend that completely overmasters whatever there is of hu inanity in his nature. He does not even exhibit a consciousuess of crime, but is apparently desitute of the facul ty for repentance and remorse. He tells the story of his crimes as a scien tist would recite the details of a sue eessful experiment. In his confession of the murder of little Katy Curran he is as explicit and precise as an as tronomer might be in setting down his observation about Coggia's comet. After telling how he enticed her to the cellar, he adds : "I followed her,put my left arm around her neck, my hand over her mouth,and with my knife in my right hand cut her throat-" Hoeiety -.shudders at the contemplation of such a monster, but wat ten, wnatis so ciety to do with him?f Hang him ? -No~doubt a skillful lawyer would be able to prevent that by proving to an intelligent jury that the boy is not a responsible agent. Probably a com oromise will have to be made by send ing him to a lunatic asylum ; bnt, when there is nothing very suggestive of insanity in young Pomneroy's - pearance and. conversation; and it is quite possible that, after a few years of confinement in a mad-house, his good behavior and continued sem blance of sanity might secure his dis oharge. These human devils have penerally the devil's own cunning to disguise the fiend in them. Jesse Pomeroy's horrible infirmity is a part of himself. He was born so ; and he can no more be eured of it than the Siamese twins could be cur-ed of the peculiarity of their twin birth. Tax. CONSERVATIVE~ CANViSS. Major T. W. Woodward, of Fairfieid, declines to be a candidate for the Con servative nomination for Governor. He says that "the coming can "didate of the honest people of South '-Carolina should vessess several at "tributes in which i am deficient. He "should be a man who has heretofore '-been exceedingly prudent, not only '-in his actions, but in his utterances. "so that -neither word nor deed could --be distorted into an unfriendly inter "'pretation towards the rights of the "negro freemen, thereby affording a "pretext for opposition at the polls. "-He should be an individual of en "larged, yet conserv-ative ideas of "statesmauship, and of national repu "tation, so that the Administration at '-Washington would not be sustained "by the Northern press in going back "upon its recent manifestations in our "behalf. He should, in fine, be possea: "sed of all those noble qualities of head "and heart, which endear one to his "friends and wake him an object of' re -'spectful admiration even to enemies." All these qjualities, says Miaj. Wood ward. are found combined in the person of General J. B. Kershaw, whose eleetion would forever free the State from the villianies and outrages that have been perpetrated in thepast six years, and whose defeat would afford a forcible illustration of the theory "that with a law sanc "tioning universal suffrage in commu "nities where negro votes preponderate, "honor and intellect must forever go "unrequited." He advises to be earn et in laying their grievances before the people of the North; but he does not believe that any material reforma can be hoped 'for through the votes oi the colored people. [Newes & Courier. THE SEPTEMBER number of "PeterSon'i Magzine," is received, and is more beauti ful than ever. The steel engravings, the colored fashion plates, the illustrative wood engravings for fashions and for patterns i embroidery, crochet, &c., are worth moere than twice the price of the number.

Up to the 29th of July Augusta shipped 130,833 melons. A party of twenty-one Chinamen recently left North Adams, Mass., where they bad been working in a shoe factory, to return tc China. They are said to have accumulate considerable money during their stay. Here is a recipe for getting up a fashion able summer bonnet: L!t the lady run hei head into a sheaf of oats, and afterward sticl in a few field flowers here and there to ligh up her coiffure, and the thing is done. Capt. John G. Williams, near Sprin Grove, in Laurens County, produced thi season, from a small patch of three-quarter of an acre, eighty bushels of oats. The oat! were sown last fall with turnips. The Florence Pioneer nominates the Hon W. D. Porter for Governor. The nomination outside the straight-out Republican fold s< far are Gen. J. B. Kershaw. Hon. W. D. Por ter and Col. Thomas Dodame ad. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says: "Among cities anxious to be trade centres Charleston, S. C., is acquiring considerabl( notoriety by the efforts now making by it Chamber of Commerce to secure for her the grain trade of the Southwest, and direc steamship communication to Europe." At a meeting of the German Cremation So ciety held recently, in New York, plans wer< exhibited for the construction of a rectangu lar hall, sixty by forty feet, with arrange meBts therein by which bodies may be con sumed by fire.

A convention will be held at Henderson ville in the interests of railroads conuected with Greenville, Tennessee and Frencl Broad-the Spartanburg and Asheville, th4 Laurens and Asheville, and the Central-oi the 30th and 31st instant. This will be ai important meeting of railroad officials, an' should be well attended. At Moffetsville, Anderson county, S. C., a young German, named Garizun, shot an killed a young lady, named Miss Katie Tuck er. It appears that Garizun was emplcye( by the father of the young lady, with whor he fell desperately in love. He became jeal ous of the attentions of his supposed rival and deliberately kiled the young lady whil the three were sitting in Mr. Tucker's par lor. The murderer fle-1, but was arreste and is now in jail at Anderson Court House J. W. Smith, the colored cadet at We! Point, who was dismissed for deficiency i philosophy, details the history of his exarr ination in a communication to the New N. tional Era, showing that the report mad against him was not for deficiency but in a< cordance with a suggestion from high at thority not to allow him to graduate, an, thereby save the War department the one ous task of finding a suitable assignment i the army where he would be welcomed b the white officers as an officer and a genth man. NEW YoRx, August 4.-The Herald's Lou Branch letter professes to have informatio from an authoritative source, that Presider Grant desires and expects the nominatio for the third term, but not as a candidal of the Repnblicaa party, but as a candidai of the anti-Republican and anti-Administri tion forces, and upon the liberal Repubc and Democratic Platform of 1872-5.

THlE RURaL CAROLINIAN FOR Al (asr.--T here are t wo particularly strii ing features about the present nunm ber of this leading Southern agrieu tural periodical. The first is a vet and only engraving of the celebrate Eucalyptus tree that has ever bee published in this country. ,The se< ond is an able article from the pen< that distinguished agricultural write C.

It is, nevertheless, fift: six feet high, and the engravia shows it towering above the roof of 'two story house, while a man wh stands in its shade near the trun looks very diminutive. MIr.

The lately published pragranie of the commencement exercises of Valle Crucis Ladies' Seminary, located near the city of Columbia, revealed several pleasant features in the varied and thorough course of instruction through which the young ladies under its care are carried. Besides the general ac cepted branches of female education, which includes all the ornamental aud light accomplishments of the day music-vocal and instruweutal-pailt ing, embroidery, wax work, etc., the pupils are instructed in the culinary I art and other no less important house hold duties. We believe this is the only institution in the State which makes this latter a part of the system of female educatiun, and it is entitled to the highest credit. Such an example is worthy of imitation in the highest - degree, and it might be well if other institutions which are now only devo ted to the development of female in I tellect and polite training would adopt a similar course. The argument may ' be advanced that such training may be given at home. True it may and should be, but how often is it neglect e.. After a term of years spent in college the young lady returns home and at once prepares for society. Pardonable pride on the maternal side opposes the idea of the daughter en tering the domains of the kitchen, she was educated to be a lady, and fill a higher position. The next step per n haps is matrimony, and soon the young lady is called upon to fill the most im portant position in life, without any experience, or half an idea of what is expected of her. Domestic failure gfollows in many instances. In others, hhowever, it is pleasant to say, thie sit euation is mastered by natural intuition and good practical sense, and then all is well. We have looked over the pro grammecof Valle Crucis commencement -with much satisfaction, and find that each one of the pupils of that iastita tion are honorably mentioned as. hay ing attained distinction in some par ticular of household economy, from the drawThg of tea and coffee through the long, substantial role of bread making anad the preparation of meats ~-and poultry, all the way down to pas try and cakes. A girl with a finished education, which embraces a knowl edge of the above, is worth a dozen of others who are ignorant or them, so far as the practical every day affairs of life are concerned. Now we are not oppossd to a young lady's receiv ing a thorough education according to tthe present system, by no means, all that we desire is that it be carried a little further, and some portion of the time spent at scho.l be devoted to practical affairs, that when the ~graduate returns home, if called upon -to exercise her talents in bread making or any thing else, she may not be at a loss, or be at the mercy of ignorant or contrary servants. What "Waiteree" Saw at a One Glenn's. Oeof the late weekly Hlops at Glenn's is described by "Wateree" as creating a sensation in that for so long quiet place. It is highly gratifying to know that this once famous resort .is fast regaining its old prestige, and i no where else will this knowledge give greater pleas.ure than in Newberry, a section which has always sent a large , representation there. In describing .the personal appearance of the ladies - Iwho were in full force from all the ad jaent country round, "Waterec" says: ."What attracted the attention of your correspondent, who, by-the-way. Sis a rheumatic old sore-head, was to learn, without inquiring, where the ggirls got all the hair they wore. They wore it in switches of all lengths, from twenty inches to four feet; they built it iu stories-some with plain attics, ,while some with mansard roofs, lear - ing a painful impression that they ir might tumble down at any moment IClike gold in a panic; some (old maids) wore one curl, others two ; many had it scram bled over the forehead, while ea few had it artistically disarranged in the style which made such a sensation last winter at the Cabinet and foreign 31 inisters' reception at Washiing~ton, Sand which is known to artists in hair nt jas the "chicken scratch" style." SFromi Abbeiille. A private letter received from Ab. ebeville enables us to miake the following e xtract in relation to the cam paigil in hythat place. t The people of Abbeville are "truly blest" in a certain way, they have a ebrass band, (col'd), a company of . militia, and sometlting over 100) can t- didates for the next Legislature. IThe first thing that strikes your eye on entering the town is a large white flag hoisted about fifty feet in or the air, and on it is printed in large y, black letters, For Governor : F. J. as Moses, Jr. I suppose it was done by d.the militia, as it is in front of their . hadqurter. ieCrops are generally good, but begin ning to need rain. Perplexing. The New York News, taking a ,ur vey of political affairs down South, is of the opinion that the time has al most arrived for the carpet-bagger to pack up his heavy trunks and leave. '-The Radical Con zressmen from the South who are candidates for re election are in a sad pickle. ITf they acknowledg,e that they are in favor of the Civil Rights bill. they can get no white votes. if they refuse to support social equality, the negroes turu their backs upon thei. If they are mute, both races rail at thei for their cow ardice. In strong negro districts they could safely embrace the sooty man and brother, but the negroes are get tin- eun1tlin] nouU(rh in such distriets to in candidates of their own. Thus it is probable that the next House of Reprispntative,: will have but a slight strinklin- of earpet-baggers. the timc has almost arrived for the carpet bagger to pack up his heavy trunks and leave." Abbeville Items. The Abbeville Medium makes the following interesting mentions Dennis Padgett, colored, was in town Monday with a mule ninety years old. le has worked one hundred acres of land with said mule this year. John Gilnioe last week invited Charles Botts. Robert Cochran and three hands to help him thresh his wheat. After eight hours hard work, they imeasured out eight and a half buslhels-his whole crop. First of the sease,. Solomou Cowan, colored, of Due West, in makiug a return of his proper ty, estimates his dog as worth five dol lars, and his household furniture and personal property at three dollars. .Man wants but little," &c. Arthur -Jefferson, the colored coun ty couiissioner, always likes to occu py a prominent position in a political meeting. H1e says smart things you know. and interrupted Purvis last Friday. but he "got away with him." He spoke of the different kinds of men ; the white would't go down with some ; the black were objectiona ble to others, and the yellow were nothing. Jefferson is yellow. A paragraph of four lines in the Columbia Phenix: Congressman Wallace denies having told the colored people if they could not get their rights at the ballot-bo. to resort to the cartridge-box.

GEOrIIGE JOINSTONE, Secretary. FOR THE IIXALI). Mi. Ewrou: I had the pleasure of attending, on Saturday last, one of the Ilost pleasant pie-nics of the season. It was given by the Bush River Grange, and came off at the Bush River Bap)tist Church, the oldest church in the Coun tv and one of the oldest in the State. Arriving at the grounds about half past ten o'clock, I found that the crowd had already comnmenced to assembleo, and cre long quite a number wa:s p)res ent. After a meeting of the grang6 wve were entertained by addresses from the gentlemen who had been chosen as the orators of the day. First came D)r. Barksdale, of Laurens, the worthy State Lecturer for the Patrons of IIusbandry practicaLble address, well suited to the occasion, showing clearly the objects and aims of his order and the necessity of co-operation and perseverance to carry them out. Dr. Barksdale was followed by Maj. J. K. G. Nance, of your town. Matj. Nance delivered an earnest and i pressive address. fully sustaining the enviable reputation which he has al ready made for himself, as a public speaker. The speeches over, the audience was invited to dinner, which was spread in the grove near the church. The dinner was such as would have satisfied the veriest epicure, and ample justice was done it by all. There was an abun dance of everything that the heart could desire. Your favorite dish, fried chick en, was not wanting, but the variety was so great that it did not excite its usual degree of attention. After dinnei the beauty and chivalry of the neigh. borhood betook themselves to a school house near by, and music being or hand dancing was the order of the hour. The grace and activity of the dancers were remarkable. The one showed that the training of a master hand was not wanting; the other bespoke the presence of health and buoyancy o spirits. Those who did not dance amused themselves by looking on and with the pleasures of conversation. All went "merry as a marriage bell," until the sinking sun wvarned us that the hom for parting had arrived, and soon th( pie-nic was remembered among th things that were, but like many of thos< it is inscribed on the tablet of memory, only to be erased by the defacing han -of time. -We all know that the graLnges throughout thme country have accom plishedl much good and bid fair to ae comp>lish more, but if they hand dont nothing more than to get upl such pie. nies aLs this I should say, long may the) live and prosper, and be numbe)re( among the institutions of the land. FOR THE llERALD. ORKNEY SPnmuNGs, SHENANDOAI Co., VA., - ~ August .5. 1874. This delightful Summer 1esort is sit uatedl on the Eastern slope of a spur o the Alleghanies, locally named the North Mountain. Its great elevatior -renders it entirely free from the fog andio dampness that so frequently pre -vail at watering places. The air is dr' -andl invigorating, and the temperatur< Iso low that heavy coats are comfortabl< at all times. There are several Mine rml Springs here, the most noted, how ever, is the Bear Wallow-the ingre dients of which are almost exclusivelb the Sulphates, those of Iron and Mag nesium being the most prominent Cthere is besides a considerable quantit' rof Free Sulphuric *Acid. T[his wate: ehas a wide reputation throughout th< Valley of Virginia, on account of tha cures it has affected in scrofulous dis eases, chronic diarrhea, uterine dis eases, and those forms of malady which manifest an impoverished condition o the blood. There are here at presen jabout :00 visitors, mainly from th< Valley. Baltimore is fairly represent Ied, nd there are a few families her< from Texas. It is essentially Southerr in its socil ch:icteristies. Every one knows every one. and all vie to make = the hours pas0s by as pleasaitly as pns ible.
