Newberry Collt-ge, Walhalla. Dr. Smeltzer. President of the Col lege, writes to the Lutheran Visitor, that at a regular meeting of the Fac ulty of Newberry College, held on Tuesday, 7th instant, Rev. Professor G. W. Holland stated that he has been authorized, by Dr.- G. S. F. Wright, of Columbia, to submit the following proposition, after having ob tained the approval of the Faculty, to the students in connection with New berry College, viz: That he would give a premium of twenty-five dollars, in currency, for the best original Essay, the subject of which shall be "The Bachman En dowment," provided the following con - ditions are strictly complied with: 1. There shall be at least five com petitors. 2. Each Essay shall be presented to the Faculty on or before the 15th day of March, proximo. S. Each Essay, neatly written, shall bear no mark foreign to the subject, except a number; and accompanying it shall be a sealed envelope, contain ing on a slip of paper the same num ber, together with the name of the author, which envelope shall not be opened until after the award has been made. 4. The donator reserves to himself the liberty of selecting the committee, consisting of five, to award the premi um ; said committee to discharge its duties, as promptly as practieable, af ter, the 15th of March, and to an nounce its decision through the col umns of the Lutheran Visitor. 5. The Awarding Committee shall have the disposal ofthe Essays. In regard to the above it was unan imously Resolved, 1st. That the proposition and conditions of Dr. G. S. F. Wright meet our approval. Resolved, 2d. That officially we tender to him a vote of thanks for the interest manifested in the College. Resolved, 3. That we cordially commend a general acceptance of his. proposition to the students. It was further suggested that a copy of the above proceedings be pub -lished in the Lutheran Visitor for the information of the Awarding Com mittee. This subject"was presented to the students, and a -number, more than required, will endeavor to secure the prize. This will interest the students, as well as the Church and friends of the Collee, in the endowment. - The faeulty is making every effort to secure a competent -agent to raise the $50,000 endot'ient fund, as re commended by Synod. We*~need an other Professor and an assistant in the Preparatory Department, hence it is absolutely necessar.y that the College be endowed, and a failure in this at tempt will be disastrous. The Church nd. the friends of the College are able to complete the Bachman Endow m tent, and are willing when the sub ject is rightly presented. Let the right -man be sent into the field and -faithfully prosecute his work ; the Church will respond, and the college will be permanently established. Besides the above award. a gold medal, valued at ten doilars, is offered by Dr. F. W. Conrad, of Philadelphia, --for the best oratorical effort at the next commencement. Three other medals, of equal value, are offered by different members of the Board ; .one to the best mathematical scholar of the Freshman -elass; one to the So phomore who stands the best examin -ation in Greek, and one to the student who will compose the best Essay. Thus you see that the College is fast gining friends. Some few prophe sied her downfall when the scholar. ship would cease. This has been our most prosperous session. We now nuinber over ninety. Let her friends ne'w labor and speak for her, and . ere long they will be proud of Newberry College.-Keowee Courier. THE FmRE FIEND.--The town coun eil have purchased a thirty-five gal ion American Fir,e Extinguisher, with a cspacity of fourteen hundred gallons -- of water, for the protection of this place from fire. The purchase was made through Colonel Tryon, of P. P. Toale of Charleston, at a cost of three hundred dollars. This is one of the best extinguishers made and hos done most effective work at the largest fires. The citizens speak of buying another =extinguisher by a loan to the council in individual subscriptions to be re funded in one year or- receivable for town tax. On last Thursday Colonel Tryon made a practical exhibition of the merits of this extinguisher in the public square. A large pile of barrels filled with shavings and thoroughly saturated with kerosene was set on fire and allowed to burn well when the extinguisher was set to work and in * just two minutes and a quarter the fire was completely put out.. E Abbeville .Medium. THE SOUTHERN PLANTER AND) FARMEE. We are in receipt of the January number of this old and standard Agricultural Journal, and its contents show no decline in its vigor. Its career dates back thi ,y-five years, and it has -nimbered among its constant contribu tors, in days gone by, suich names as RuffBn, Taylor, Sampson, Carter and Gilmer. In re adjustment of our agi'enitaural economy, in duced by the results of the war, we need the counsel~of every man who has secured suc cess since. In the pages of this journal we find such counsel, indeed, every question of vital interest to us is handled with perfect candor, and in a spirit that must lift up the -- hearts of many who remain cast down in our Southern country. The present number lives in full the splendid address of B. John son Barbour, Esq., before the last meeting of the State Agricultural Society of Virginia, and is should be read by every man in the South. We find in it, also, a masterly article (one of a se-'es by Civis), on the "Public School in; its Relations to the negro." In fact it contains all a far-ner would like to see, and we trust our friends will avail them selves of the aid it offers them in so many ways. The price is but $2 per annum, for which is furnished, duning the year, over seven hudred pages of first-class reading matr u~ihed at Richmond. Virginia, Singing Low. r Upon the occurrence of the horri )le judicial election which has raised uch a storm in and out of the State, &r. Reuben Towlinson promptly ,ame forward with a manly letter of lenunciation. Senator Robertson con ;idered it the severest blow South ?arolina Republicanism had ever re .eived. Mr. Rainey, memb6r of Con 3ress, denounced the election as scan lalous to the party and disgraceful to ,he colored penple. Judge Mackey = bas been outspoken in condemnation >f it. Judge Willard has expressed y [iiuaself as regarding it a blow struck, in the interest of corruption, at the most sacred rights and institutions of the State. Mr. Smith, the Senator US tei from Barnwell, although he voted st for Moses and Whipper, has signified his purpose to explain his vote satis factorily. Other leading men of the Republican party may have expressed themselves, but we have failed to see anything from them. The State ti officers, the Professors in the Univer- s< sity, the Judges other than Mackey w, and Willard, Cochran, Senator from 0 Anderson; Earle, Assistapt District Attorney; the Winsmiths, of Spartan- g burg, father and son; District Attor- ta ney Corbin, the members of Congress m other than those mentioned, ex-Gov- et ernor R. K. Scott, &c., ad i-finitum, el the public officials and others re garded miore or less moderate, have said never a word. Perhaps we ought to except Treasurer Cardozo from this list, and consider him as having sufficiently declared himself h in the columns of the Union-Herald, of which he is one of the owners. But the silence of the rest, and of tf many more whom we might name, is something remarkable. It cannot be explained by the. supposition that t they feel no concern in the matter. tl An event which has agitated the n whole country, and which is full of meaning and freighted with results to their party in this State, cannot be without interest to them. It can- n not be said that they feel it their v duty to abstain from political- dis cussions or from taking any political attitude. Everything political, on the coatrary, down to ward meetings and S, cioss road gatherings, has always had ti the sweetest,most attractive and most commanding fascinations for Repub lican politicians. What, then, is the matter? Are they as'raid of the re- 0 sponsibil'ity either of standing with or j against Governor Chamberlain? Where n be the big orators, the committee men, the valiant writers, the doughty wire pullers, who were wont to stir up the a country as with a ten-foot pole, and 3 make the rafters of the cabins shake ~ with their oratorical thunders ? We understand those who took active part C in this thing-Whipper, Elliott, John son (Sumter), Bampfield, Whittemore, 3 Leslie, Pinckney, Nash,Curtis, Simons, , and Weston, Davis and other Charles ton Indepeudents, &e., &c.-are all on the record and love it. Smalia, y~ member of Congress. and John Pat terson, Senator (whom we ought -to e have excepted above), have endorsed everything, and gone thle whole figure. r Swails, Scott, Pinckney, Nesbitt,"Red- Si Hot" Jones, Hannibal White, have C essayed to darken still more their raven r complexions. They jump further, leap higher and stick their thumbs further in the ground than the other slow 1< fellows. They flourish aloft the stand- 5j ard of "color." But the moderat;es, b the leaders, the thinkers, those who hold the snug offices, and those who, if out, hope to get them .again, and ~ will fight hard to keep in or get in b comfort.able berths, where stand they ? Don't all speak at once ! [Columbia Register. 0 The Bank or she state. b GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN AFTER THE COUNTY OFFICIALS.

We note with pleasure the placing of a lamp before the post office by .our respected city fathers. This adds to the convenience of the public, and is in pleasing harmony with recent .im provements within. But we submit respectfully to our worthy Town Coun cil-in the belief its desirableness will be appreciated by them-the contin uance of a lamp on one of the inter secting corners of Friend and Cald well streets as a serviceable conve nience to a portion of the public at tending night service in some of our churches, as well as to merchants and other citizens of this section of town, having to wind their way home after nightfall from their respective places of business. 'Tis true the lamp where now stationed lights Caldwell street, bt as positioned before on the corner, it lit both Friend and CJaldwell streets, thereby giving light where much needed to pedestrians reaching divine service at the Baptist and Lutheran Churches by Friend street, after turn ing street corner in rear of Mr. Wicker's. Besides we will be par doned for suggesting--which is done with respect-that the commercial in terests of the business houses situate on the respective corners of Friend and Caldwell streets-though possibly not as extensive asisome other mer cebants-are still entitled to the re spectful consideration of the Council, and we believe will receive it. We submit with confidence, the request. in view of its convenience to our church going people and above mentioned in terests, that our Town Council con tinue a lamp where previously posi tioned. ora either of the other inter FoR THE HERALD.. December 29th, 1875. MR. EDITOR:-Your humble ser ant had occasion to spend Christmas a Prusperity, on the G. & C. R R., and ow having a leisure moment, willI ive you a few dots for the HERALD. uarly in the morriing, pedestrians, Lorsemen, and countrymen in various ehicles, began to pour into town. oon the merchants were busy show tg atid selling various and numerous rticles of merchandise, wares, etc. ach house, it seems, had supplied it elf with an extra salesman or two for be occasion. Everything passed off s joyous as a marriage bell until late t evening, when an altercation occur -ed between one Pink Phillips (col'd) Lnd Dr. J. D. Cureton (white), in Nhich the latter received two severe rounds from a knife in the hands of Phillips. Phillips seemed to be the iggressor, and soon after was arrested )v the marshal and posse and conveyed o Newberry jail. Prosperity is a live place, and a place )f interest. It has surely arisen Phoenix-like. While I admire the Lndomitable will and perseverance of ,hese people, I hope the Town Council ill not think me meddlesome if I make a suggestion or two. First, I bserve the street in town, leading towards Prosperity church, is very badly drained; also the cross street leading by the shops of Simpson, Holly & Paris. These places need draining badly, both for the health of - the place and for vehicles and pedestrians. "A woid to the wise is sufficient." I was somewhat mortified and great ly surprised at the disposition among the merchants to "cut" each other. For instance, I saw N. 0. syrup, $1, selling at 75 cents per gallon; Liver pool salt at $1.60 per sack, Granite ville - shirtings at 8 cents; candy and raisins at 20 cents. These are only a few instances of the retail prices of the Prosperity merchants, which are ruinously low, and have been so reduced by"cutting." My friends, allow me to say to you (as one having a knowledge of mercantile .business) that if you continue to do business in this man nr your commercial ruin is only a question of time: Every "cut" you make -at your neighbor is a direct thrust at your own intersst at home and your credit abroad. I would sug gest, gentlemen, that if possible you remedy this evil among you at once. Do not handle any article of merchan dise without a living profit. But, Mr. Editor, my dots are longer than I intended. OBSERVER. Maltrried, By the Rev. A. J. Canthen, at the residence of the bride's mother near Graham's, on Thursday, January 13th, 1676, Dr. J. Wx.
