Mr. Wiley Williams, the young man who was so sadly injured at Charlott( on Thursday last, was in twenty-foui battles during the late war and escaped unhurt to be so terribly wounded, a last, in a civil celebration. The Louisiana sugar planters ar( now more prosperous than at any tim( since the war.

A remarkable instance is quoted by the Caleutta Indian Statesman, il hustrative of the early marriages among the Hindoos. In a case of theft tried by the magistrate of Hooghly, th~ witnesses examined were the great grand-mother of the child, the grand mother and the mother, and their re spective ages were taken down, asi usual in M#ofussil courts, as follows : .The great-grandmother, forty years; the grandmother, twenty-eight, anc the mother only sixteen. To illustrate the eceentricity o: James Lick, the California millionaire, it is said that he hired two men to work for him and set them to work planting cabbages, directing them to put th( plants tops down, roots up. One of the men obeyed the order strictly. The other thought it a mistake and put the plant in the soil just as any sensible verson would do. By and by the enmployer came along. Seeing the work of the latter, he inquired, "Who did that ?" "I did," said the man confidently. "You cannot work~ for me any longer, sir," was the re ply, with a summary dismissal. The decoration of the graves of the Federal and Confederate dead, at Elm. wood Cemetery, Memphis, Tenn., on the 24th inst., was an event which points well the moral of fraternization in ihe matter of a mutually glorious history. The largest procession ever seen in Memphis, with the exception of that in honor of the memory ol General R. .E. Lee, was formed. The ex-Federal soldiers, almost to a man, turned out with the ex-Confederates, and in the ranks were seen the tatter ed battle-flags of both armies. At nc time since the war has there been such an enthusiastic intermingling o~ the blue and the grey.

Considerable importance is beint attached to the signs of an early re covery in business. The loan marke shows a more decided desire to emplol capital, and lenders are not near s( c;;utious as heretofore. Notwithstand ing the late heavy pressure and grea losses, the N. Y. Bulletin says th< test has been endured by the merchant with an immunity from failures whiel demonstrates the strength of the con mercial community. "This increased disposition to leni we regard as the most conclusive pro mise of an early recovery in businesi that has yet appeared. When bor rowing becomes easier, the transactior of business is facilitated, things in th< way of production and trade, becom< possible that were impossible before, the favorable conditions to productiow arising from lower wages and lowei prices of land, buildings, machiner3 and raw materials lead to new enter prises; and when the greater readi ness to lend has thus stimulated busi ness, the improvement in trade react, favorably on the loan marxet, at th same time strengthening the confidenc of lenders and enal ling them to obtair better rates upon their investments We think these foreshadowings fron the present condition of the loan mar ket will be confirmed by the judgmeni of those most familiar with its preseni condition and workinys." In this connection the News an Courier says: "Here are two straws which have some significance as showing th< financial condition of the country The one comes from thrifty, economuica Connecticut, and the other from quite the-reverse Chicago. The bank corn missioners of the Nutmeg State repor an increase in the savings bank de posits of Connecti.ut from $70,769,00( to 73,783,000 in the past year, a gar of nearly four per cent. The Maj quarterly statement of the nationa Ibanks of Chicago shows that sinc< January 1, 1874, there has been gain of $8,000,000 in the loans, o: more than $4,000,000 in legal tender and cash, and of 13,000,000-more than sixty per cent.-in deposits These two reports tromn widely differ ing localities pretty clearly prove th< recaperation of the country from th< panic of 1873, and indicate a sure i: slow approach to an era of businest prosperity." A Better Era. Writing on what it has pleased tc term "The New South," the leading Republican newspaper of the North west, the Chicago Tribune, holds that there is another new departure in Southern affairs. "There has been." it says, "a marked change in public sentiment within the last few months -a change in Northern sentiment as to tile real condition of the Southern p3ople, and a change in Southern sentiment as to the real disposition of the people of the North toward the South. Much of the trouble at the South has arisen from a mutual misunderstanding between North and South. Northern sentiment has been heretofore mainly constructed up<n the outrages committed in communi ties thlat were infested with vicious and desperate classes left by the war, composed largely of men without family ties, without occupation, with oit means, and unrestrained by moral or social influences in the indul gence of their passions and prejudices. Southern sentiment has been forced into a false, narrow and resentful ten dency bj the influence of Northern men who have gone into~ the South to live upon politics as a business. The fire-eaters at the South and the carpet-baggers from the North have been accepted as the types of senti ment on either side, and the result has been a constant clashing of interests, and an uneompromising dissension which has prevented the reorganiza tion of society, corrupted the politics, and ruined the business of the coun Itry." Congressman Robert Smalls vin* dicates his honor by denying the charge that he had any knowledge of the raised claim, that is, that a claim of $250 was raised to $2,500. Tie Union-Rerald says that he can not get out of it, that "this 'raised elaim has been taken up and cancelled, and one for the $250 really passed has been issued. But during the investi. gation of the case it has become almost certain that the $2,000 certificate, wichl was the foundation of thle claim passed by the Senate, was in itself a bold fraud. We are assured that iu hd once before figured as the basil for a claun which was passed and wh.ch has ien 1.a ;. T he certi ficate Court at Laurens. We learn from the Herald that the Court of Common Pleas in its civil business has been indefatigably en gaged, working frequently from 9 un til dark. Some heavy verdicts for ante war debts, fo- lands and negroes, have been rendered without "scale" or I stint ; indeed it is feared the matter has been, in some cases, rather over done-the pound of flesh being nearly approached. The Herald says: "His Honor, Judge Moses, in a certain cause tried last week in the Sessions, gave peremp. tory instruction or command to the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal -told the jury that if they failed to find such verdict they would be sent back; hence, the jury found in ac cordance with said instruction. "We know nothing about the merits of the case in question, have no inter es& in the matter, and simply allude to the said charge as anomalous, as it appears to us. It may, however, have been altogether regular and in accord ance with strict rules of law under "the new regime," though we had previously been under the impression that a judge, in the trial of any cause by a jury, invariably charged the same upon the law, and that the question of fact was left to the jury to determine, and find a verdict accordingly." Majors L. J. Jones and J. M. Bax ter, J. F. J. Caldwell, Y. J. Pope and G. S. Mower, Esqs., were in attend ance from Newberry. It is proposed to have a re-union of the survivors of Orr's Regiment of Rifles at Walhalla or Sandy Springs during the summer. The flag of this regiment is now in the hall of the Young Men's Library Association, in Atlanta, Ga. It is a large silk flag, with a silk fringe, ~ and bears the fol lowing inscription: "Fir&t Regiment Rifles. Aninis opibusque parati. Cold Harbor, June 27, 1862. Ma nassas, August 29, 1862." In the same hall is the flag of the Martin Guards, "presented by the ladies of Newberry." It is a white silk flag, with State motto on one side and an open Bible on the other, with the fol Ilowing inscription : "In the Lord our God, we will set op our- banners. Stand fast, therefore, in this liberty wherewith Christ has made us free." Both flags are in fair condition. Lieut. C. Herbst, the librarian, has them in his keeping, and will gladly deliver them to any persons in South Carolina who are entitled to receive them. A society for the prevention of cruelty to children has been formed in New York City, with a membership already of about four hundred, in eluding many well known citizens. The officers of the society have com piled all the statistics relating to mendi cancy, truancy, abduction, apprentice ship, the sale of liquor to minors, the custody of children deprived of one or both of their parents, the care of those in public institutions, and various other matters which may involve cases of eruelty or neglect. The society has yet no agents or special officers of its own for the detection or investigation of such cases, although it is expected that these will ultimately be appointed. It will have, however, the aid of the police, of its individual members, and, it is hoped, of the public at large, and the various other societies and institut'ons which pay attention to the care of children. The society has now on its books several cases of cruelty to children which it will soon press in the courts. The Chicago Inter- Ocean of May 21 is on -file at the Union-Berald office, Columbia. As the whale is to the sardine so is this mammoth paper of 144 pages to its little cousins like the HERALD and others. One hun dred and thirty-five pages of the paper are taken up with the delinquent tax list of Dook county, Illinois. Any one wishing to see a curiosity can call and examine the paper. As an indi cation of the magnitude of the job of issuing such a sheet, we will remark that on the morning of publication twenty wagons were required to de liver the paper to city subscribers. Thirty compositors were employed thirty-six days in putting the delin quent tax list in type, working ten and one-half hours each day. The manu script copy of the same weighed 275 pounds, and occupied 13,370 pages. Hon. N.W.Woodfin,one of the oldest, most benevolent citizens of Buncombe county, N. C., died at his home in Asheville on the 23rd of May. Mr. Woodfin for many years was the lead ing lawyer at the Asheville bar. ~He was a long time a member of the State Legislature, and at one time lacked but a single vote of being chosen a senator of the United States. He leaves a wife ad three daughters, one of them the wife of our towns man, Benson M. Jones, Esq. Mr. Jones left her here with his wife on Saturday the 22nd, and consequently did not reach Asheville until after the dath of Mr. Woodfin: A series of terrible earthquakes have occurred in the province of Boroussa. Asia Minor, and six hundIed houses deFtroyed. So far one hundred and sixty-one lives are known to be lust, and one hundred and eightf seven injured. FOR THE HERALD. MR. EDITOR :-Feeling a deep in terest in that beautiful and heavenly science of vocal music, which is so much neglected in our social circles and the churches of our country, I here ask if something cannot be done to bring about a change for the better in this noble cause ? I would suggest that the leaders and teachers of the choirs of Newberry County arouse themselves to their duty in this en noblityg art, and form a musical asso ciation of the County, to meet annually at any place they may deem proper. Let every church of the County be represented and much good may be ac complished. A singing society should be kept up in every community. For what is more pleasing, beneficial and conducive to the improvement of mind and heart thau music ? Singing is a delightful recreation which both the old and young may enjoy. Let us hear from sote one in.erosted in this divine art. A. FOR THE HERALD. MOUNT PLEASANT, May 24th, 1875. EDITOR NEWBERRY HERALD:-Again the pic-nic season is upon as, and this place be ing a favorite resort, almost every day brings its crowd by the steamers, sometimes extra trips are made to bring the anxious partici pants earlier to the sylvan shades of the grand old oaks, or the mazes of the dance in the spacious hall, or on the velvet carpet of the verdant sward, and during the moonlight nights as at present, the warning bells of the last steamers break upon the slumbers of the residents but one hour or so short of the midnight hour, to take the pleased though wearied pleasure seekers to their homes again. - Our sea-washed village will have a fall share of visitors this summer-scarcely a house is to be had now. Several of the resi dences have been 'greatly improved, the lots enclosed by pretty fences and tasteful gates, and it -now altogether begins again to jook like ante bellum times, except as to the num ber and style of vehicles on the streets. IN THE CITY. We have had conventions of several churches, which have brought visitors as clerical and l-ay delegates from all parts of the country. First the Baptist Convention of the South, with a host of learned men and polished orators, and self-denying mis sionaries of the Gospel, ready and willing to do the work of their Master and aid in the extension of His Kingdom on earth. Just after their adjournment the Protestant Epis copal Convention of the Diocese of this State, commenced its annual session, on the 13th instant. But the preceding day-Wednesday, 12th instant-was observed in commemnora tion of the planting of the Episcopal Church from the Mother Church of England, in the Province of Carolina, two centuries ago. The services were held at St. Philip's Church, and were solemn and impressive, the music rendered by the sweet tones of the fine organ, brought forth by its accomplished player, Mr. Ruddock, assisted by the Post Band and at least forty trained singers, ladies and gen tleen, was grand, and was enjoyed by the appreciative and delighted audience within the densely packed walls of the beautiful church. A procession was formed at the Sunday School House composdd of the vestries of the city churches and the delegates of all the churches, headed by the Bishop and Clergy in their robes, preceded by the choir boys of the Church of the Holy Communion, thirty or forty in number, surpliced, the ranks of the lay delegates then opened, and when the choir and clergy passed through, the proces sion countermarched, and when the advance rached the vestibule of the church the strain was taken up by the organ and choir of the church and continued through the hymn un til the clergy were seated in the chancel and the rest distributed in the pews reserved for them. After the services the Bishop deliv ered (any production from his must be) a scholarly address, replete with sentimn ents of charity and Christian feeling towards all denominations and tendering the hand of cordiality and sympathy to all the followers of the meek and lowly Jesas. After an intrval,to permit those who did not purpose to partake, the Communion was administered -to the very large number of those who yet remained, after which, with the benediction, the vast concourse was dismissed. On the next evening at the same church, and in continuation of the Anniversary ex ercises, an historical .address on the church was delivered by Mr. J. I. P. Smith, evincing refined scholarship and industrious historical research. The first two days of the session of the Convention were taken up with the discus sion of the question on the admission to the Convention of the delegates from St. Mark's Church, under the Rectorship of Rev. J. B. Seabrook. This is a congregation of most respectable colored persons, who were always esteemed by the high-toned citizens of Charles ton, many of whom represent the most in telligent and wealthy of that class. After a long discussion, a resolution offered by Mr. E. MCrady, Sr., was passed, referring the whole matter to a Commission of Seven, to report to the nexct Convention. The Con vention adljourned on Saturday evening. I noticed in the church our genial and popular friend, Capt. N. B. M., and hoped to see your late partner Mr. R. H1. G., but I believe he did not attend. On Tuesday afternoon (18th) the Anniver sary of the Sunday School was held at Church IIoly Communion. Several addresses were delivered, the music by the organ and the boys of the choir was finely rendered, and the very large and full audience much pleased and gratified. KAPPA.

FELLOW-CITIZENS: I rise to offer to you and this assemblage the cordial re sponse of the people of South Carolina to the seutiment which has just been an nounced, and to all the fearless memo ries, the high inspirations and the ex alting hopes which this occasion com mnieorates and suggests. I know full well that I speak to-day for South Carolina chiefly because it is my for tune to be her official representative. Older, abler, better voices than mine wili, I cannot doubt, speak for her voices of those who have sprung from this soil, who know as household words the traditions of the Carolinas, who will represent more adequately than I can hope to do, the genus loci which has inspired, which still inspires, and which I know will continue to in spire, and direct the eager, zealous, fer vid and constant patriotism of the men of Mecklenburg and Carolina. But what heart, if it be an American heart, whether it spring to life beneath these sunny skies, or where nature presents herself in more rugged and repellant forms; what heart, touched with one spark of the divine flame of love of country, does not bound and swell to greet and welcome this day and this occasion ? If Marathon and Plataca, after 2, 000 years, still speak the lesson of de voted and valorous patriotism; if Run nymede, after six centuries, is still a name for English patriots to conjure by; if Marston Moor, though the heather and the daisy have cov ered the last traces of the shock and carnage of her battle for more than 200 years, is still marked by re verent pilgrims as the spot where the long night of kingly prerogative was ended by the gray dawn of the new and glorious day of the people's rights; with what measure of gratitude to God, of honor to our ancestors, of pa t r i o t i c gratulation and gladness, should we, Americans, Carolinians, greet this spot, where, as we firmly and advisedly believe, only 100 years ago, the first formal utterance, of the great idea of American independence was heard. To a man who believes in human progress, to one who sees and rever ences the divine hand in human af fairs-I care not in what section or country his sympathies may have been nurtured-the deed done in Charlotte town, in Mecklenburg County, May20, 1775, will stand at once as a monu ment and an inspiration, a trophy and a prophecy, of the sure and pre-ordained coming of the day when the feeble light which~flamed forth here a hundred years ago, shall fill the whole world. The Declaration of Mecklenburg ! It was but a spoken word-an' artica ated breath of this universal air yet it was a deed, a battle, a victory No cannon thundered it ; ro tclegraph flashed it; yet it was "heard round the world." 'That death-shot shook the feudal tower, And shattered slavery's chain as well; On the sky's dome, as on a bell, It's echo struck the world's great hour." The men of Mecklenburg! They were the plain farmers, physicians, lawyers and ministers of this seclude~d canton, unambitious of fame, seeking nothing but their accustomed rights, the moral as well as lineal children of John Knox, resolute before men as they were reverent before God. Col. Thomas Polk, a heart as pure and brave as Richard Coeur de Lion, Doe tor Ephrainr Brevard, the gentle scholar and physician, the flame of whose devotion of liberty never flick ered till it was quenched by the damps of a British prison-ship fiv years later-these, and such as th'ey were, the men who alone, self-inspired, in advance of all others, at the time when Thomas Jefferson was writing to John Randolph, "I would rather be in dependence on Great Britian, properly limited, than on any nation on earth, or than on no nation," sounded the first signal-note of absolute revolt and idependence. We tear no leaf to. day from the brow of any Revolution. ary patriot, who elsewhere by pen 0o sword, upheld the same great cause. We seek only with the jealousy of fil ial reverence and love to guard the fame, to honor the memory, to proclaim the early abounding and impetuous patriotism of the men of Mecklenburg. A few simple virtues constitute the sum and perfection of human great ness. Simplicity of character, single ness of aim, consistency of purpose, "readiness to do or dare whatsoever is commanded by the inward voice of native manhood"-such qualities in due combination have made the true heroes of all ages. Of such stuff the heroes of Mecklenburg were made. I do not for a moment conjecture that they foresaw the vast consequences of their acts here 100 years ago. The gift of prophecy was long since with drawn from mortal man. These men caught no glimpse, I venture to say, of the America of thirty-seven States, of 40,000,000 of people, .stretching from ocean to ocean, covering every sea with her commerce, and reaching every land with her influences. They loved their homes and their families; they valued their home-born rights and privileges, the dear gifts of honor ed sires ; they reverenced the grand structure of English law: "A land of settled government, - A land ofjust and old renown; Where freedom slowly broadens down, From precedent to precedent." These were their heritage, their wealth, their life. For these they were ready to live or die. And so they became heroes. Napoleon has been thought to have uttered a great word when, standing within the shadows of the pyramids, be exclaimed : "Soldiers, from yonder beights forty centuries contemplate you~r actions." Vain and empty words ! The pyramids themselves were but the visible monuments of a slavery blacker than Egyptian dark aess, and the voice which spoke from them was but a voice that mocked the anhalowed ambition of him who in roked it. The grand army long since was swept away, the fiery ambition of ~he great conquerer was quenched in gnoble bondage, and the last repre enaieothdyat which he de botrnty, the grace and the glory of en lightened freedom. The declaration here made was a single isolated act-the act of the re presentatives of - the people of one County. But the spirit of indepen dence was in the air. A year and for ty-five days later the declaration of Mecklenburg was the declaration of the United States of America. From that hout, the men of Mecklenburg made common cause with all Ameri cans in the struggle which followed. Mecklenburg was thenceforth merged in the struggling, rising nation. With in a radius of forty miles from this centre, a score of fields were wet with blood which was the price of American independence. It is a proud record. Let its voice be heard to-day above the estrangements of later times; above the differences which, in other days, may still divide us. The decla ration of Mecklenburg was the quick response of this people to the firs. shedding of blood at Lexington. I stood the other day on the field of Lexington, amidst the wealth, the cul ture, the abounding population of Massachusetts, and I listened with proud and willing heart to the cordial, heartfelt words of cheer and sym pathy for the Carolinians and the South, which formed one of the most significant features of the great occa sion. I thought I saw the fraternal feeling which will surely flow over the whole American people, making the men of Lexington and the men of Mecklenburg enemies no more, and rivals only, as of old, in the promp,i tude and constancy of their devotion to American freedom and nationality. Let a like voice be heard to-day. The ear of Lexington is bent low to catch the welcome sound. Let it go forth -the voice of Mecklenburg-proclaim ing the new Union more.glorious even than the old, because tested by harder trials, planted on deeper foundations and springing from a broader faith in the immortal principles of American freedom. South Carolina bids me speak to day her gratitude and reverence for the [men of Mecklenburg of 1775 her fraternal feelings towar,l all who are assembled here, and her intense sympathy with the memories which lie behind us, and the hopes which stretch before us.

She leaves behind her a warm-hearted husband and three helpless little ones, and a large circle of relations and friends to mourn her loss, but methinks if she could whisper from her bright home in Glory, she would say, "Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and my children." .Wrew A .Jtiscellaneous.
