The Cowpens Centennial The 11th was a grand day for Spartanburg, the occasion being the Centennial Celebration of the Battle of Cowpens and the Unveil ing of the Statue of Gen. Daniel Morgan. The battle was fought the 17th of January, 1781, at Cow pens, Spartanburg County, four teen miles above the city. Gen. Daniel Morgan was the successful commander of the American fcrces at that battle. The battle ground being in an out of-the-way place it was determined to erect the Statue in the Puteli Square of Spartan burg City; and to have the Cele bration in May instead of January. The Monument was erected by the original "Thirteen States"; the Statue (bronze) was presented by Congress, and is the work of the distinguished sculptor J. Q. A. Ward. It is thought that fully 20,000 people attended the Celebration. Everything passed off pleasantly and on a grand scale'; there was not an accident nor a single disa greeable occurrence to mar the complete success of the day. The cere nonies consisted in an oration by'. Gov. Hampton, representing the Southern States ; Hon. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, of Boston, r representing the New England States, and Hon. W. H. Francis, of N~ew Jersey, representing the Mid die States; the reading of a Cen tennial Ode; the Unveiling ; and a grand review of the Military by Gen. Hunt of the U. S. Army. "Centennials" have been quite frequent since 1876, and there is no doubt that these occasions, where North meets South to celebrate the valor, the patriotism and the glo. ries of a common country, have done much toward re-establishing a sentiment of unity and fraternity among all sections of the country. The next Centennial will be that ofc Yorktown, Va., in October, which will be a grand affair. Ofeiers of State Press Associa tion.

We would be rbid to see the Car Factory movement carried to a suc cessful issue, and would do any thing in our power to aid in it. It is no use to write about the need of factories and of diversified indus tries among our people-all agree here. The only real question in this case is, Would a car factory at Helena pay the stockholders? And we confess that we know nothing at all about it; haven't the remotest idea. We give the views of Mr. McCaughrin and Mr. Parrish, who are railroad men, and offer our col nmns to anybody who has ideas on the subject. On last election day a young man at Indianapolis.

DePass, of Camden, arrived in the city a day or two ago on some law business before the Supreme Court. Yesterday he conducted his labors as usual. and looked as well as ever, complaining however that he felt urn well. He did not pass a restful night. and his condition wae worse this morning, although he wouldJ not allow a physician to be summoned, depre cating the idea of any dangei from his attack. His illness rapidly inereased, however, and a physician was called for, but before the latter arrived he rose, walkcd a few paces and fell, dying in a few moments, at half-past 8 o'clock. He had only time to give a word of message to his wife. He died of heart disease. Gen. Kennedy and Major Leitner, of Camden, were with him, and his body was attended to by them and escorted by the Knights of Honor, to which he be longed, to the South Carolina Rail road this evening, taking the 6 P. M. train for Camden. "Women Never Think."

Augusta atnd the Port Royal L1:.d to Beaufort was rapidly and ly accomplished. and signalized by L,any courtesies extended by the ofii cers of the different roads. On the Port Royal & Augusta line we had the pleasure of being escorted by Mr. Jas. S. Davaut, the youngest and handsowest General Frei lit and Pas senger Agent we have ever met. His handsome appearance and courteous manners, as a matter of course, at tracted the attention of the ladies and led to the question, "I wonder if he is married ?" Fortunately for hini our ladies were married, consequently no caps were set for him. Passing by Cosahatchie and Gillisonville, histori cal points to the 13th S. C. Voluu teer. , a view was had of the Bridge on which a portion of the gallant 13th made their first staud TO INTERCEPT A GUNBOAT; a stop at Yenassee, and Beaufort was reached a; 3 o'elo:k. We doubt if the Press Gang were prepared for the reception whieh waited thetu. Vehi cles of all kinds, and without nunber, were drawn up in line, while in waitin wcre the committee, (ousisting of Dr. H. M Stu-rt, Cul. Win. Elliott, the Rev. John Ktrshaw. and Messrs W. 11.

Whit wan. )rawn by spirited horses we soon approached the town, tie first object greeting the eye being a TRIUMPUAL ARCH which bore in large characters the word -Welcome", and over that "The Pen is migitier than the Sword." Flags and Banners of all sizes ::nd kinds. hung from house tops and p:az zas, were flying in the bret'ze, giving agreeable token that our visit was in deed welcome. After a sum:ptuous di:ner at the Sea Island H1otel-a very handso:ne structure, Coin anding a LL?c..tiful view of the hay-the As sociation was cailled to order by Presi dent Cre:ws. in the Ar.maa;l building. and here we were informed that the Committee exzpected us at the Sea Island at 9 o'clock sharp with sharp appetites. There were no laIuds, and every maa did his duty. clearly showing~that the Press of South Caro lna we're equal to any pressure ana neee no pressing. TUE BANQUET WAS A GRiAND SUC cEss, the tables bei ne loadc d with all the substantials and delicaciecs of the sea son and place. The tables were in hollow square, and in the centre upon a small table reposed an immense Drum Pish and a roasted mutton. The decoration of the large and ele gat room was very beautiful; the palnetto, pine, magnolia. intermingled with the rarest flowers, all combining to make it a scene of bewildering beauty. Nothing could have been more enchanting. This elegant feast with the popping of corks and the flow of eloquent sentiments was kept up, by the aid of stirring~ strains by' the Beaufort Cornet Band, till about 2 o'clock, and we have no doubt some of the party could have strained the sitting somewhat beyoud that hour without the help of the Band. Dr. Stuart. a vely courtly gentlemtan, wel comed the guests in a well poiunted ad dress, and was followed by Col. Wmn. Elliott Pr.e. Crews responded for the Press. when the speaking became general, and on the whole quite elo quent. Col. T. G-. White, well known in Newvberry, very appropriately and happily gave TliE NiEMORY OF' (EN. GARY, which was drunk standing and in si lence. Taken altogether this was the grandest entertainmenat in the memory of the Association, and will not be for gotten while memory lasts. ON TUE BAY. At 10 o'clock Thursday, accomipa nied by the Committee and several citizens, the Association anid its wives, embarked on the Pilot Boy for so much of a "life on the ocean wave" as could be crowded into a long sumn.er day. The bay was serene, a delightfuil breeze f':n;ned the brow and a happier crowd could not be foundi. The lirst point to'uchevd att was Port Royal, whre thle pa:rty E lmied and were met by niie.srs. Elliott and McFall, the la~tter the ag. ut of the A. & P. RI. R. Copre,s &~ Ei<vo'tor Co. The Cotton Pres there is the LA1;F.ST IN TliE WORLd), and is certainly a monstreus piece of machinery. anid the Elevator has a capacity fer. one hundred thousand bushels. With a magnificent harbor whose depth at low water is twenty five feet, rail road traceks running down to the wvater, and a shied room whose extent seemeid limitless, Purt Royal may well claim to be the KEY TO THE SOUTHERN COAST. A few years ago there existed only isolated houses here anid there, now there is a population of seven hundred, several of whom, more or less, are "cullerd pusso-us". It was not on the programze to linger long, and the Pi lot Boy was again entered, when we steamed down the harbor to Bay Point, and saw the white capped breakers, and the blue sea which marked the linie of the bar. Speaking of the bar reminds u;s that all alongI here we had refreshments, very ueees nostly live inland anr n^ve.r see any Iin g: larger than : little eat fi<h.

A nm;ment allowed us to gaze in wonder at the largeness of every thing. n;d the big throated guns lashed in their appropriate places, we were ushered, ladies first, through the Captain's dining room, the table of which groaned under its weight of delectable things, into the cabin which was fitted up in handsociie style. Here we felt like lingering, everythivg was so captivating, cven the sherry and other wines WIISPERED LINGER. The Captain's lockers happily were 1 inexhaustible and the Reverend por t'on of our coimpany, Sidi H. Brown, V. P' Jacobs and John Kershaw, were regaled on Seltzer Water. Alas, though the brightest and best :-cenes must change, and the Captain of the Pilot Boy had orders to take us to Coosaw, amother iwportant point in this interesting sea coast coury, not, however, before we were introduced by Capt. J. to his NAVAL SIERRY, which will be long reme;mbered by 1 those of the party who tested its rer its. Touching at Beaufort on the return a number of ladies and gentle men joined the party, and among the latter our young and lively friend Steve Fowles, who is now a law part ner with Col. Wov. Elliott. The meeting was mutually pleasant and a heap of home gossip rehearsed. Down to Coosaw, and its great works and huge piles of Phosphate rocks, vessels waited to be loaded with the precious freight and destined to enrich distant lands. It is said that the company mined 110,000 .ous during the past tw:lve months, working 500 hands in the summer and 750 in the winter, and has a capital invested of $200.000, the stock ruling at 81,200 a share, and none to be had. Back agaiu to Beaufort, which was reached at 8 o'clock. A well prepared address on Journalism, most excellently delivered, was heard by the Association at night, tromt Mr. Hlugh Wilson, of the Abbe .vidle Press and Banner. This ended our PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT BEAU FORT, and the next morning, Friday, largely auguiente d, our happy party took rail back to Yewassee, aid over the East Fliorida Railway line to Jacksonville. 'The addition to the party conisisted of W. H. Lockwood and wife, J.>hn Co riant without a wife, A. C. McFall with a wife, J. L Trhor;iley and a brand new bride, and a Miss McCul lough, who to all appearances will soon be somebody's wife. Savannah at 3 o'clock, a delicious sup per at 6, and Jacksonville was reached' at 10, the jtded gang retiring to comfortab!e beds at the St. Marks, under th" fosterin'g care of Col. Foster. The breakfast which followed, topped off with delicious straw berries, red, ripe, cool, is pleasantly re menmbered. Here we hoped to rest for a day and see the sights, for there is much to be seen .n that beautiful city, but our in defatigable President de.,hingz a cRUISE made arrangements to take the Water Lily and steam up the St. John's--saints are quite common in the laud of flowers and alligators-so a transfer from the hospita ble St. Marks to the gentle bosom of the St. Johts was quickly made.

Among the arimals was a flue specimen of the tiger, killed two months before within six miles of Palatka, wild cats, eagles, pelicans, water turkeys, &c., filling up the large show eases. A pleasant visit was next made to the Putnam County JOURNAL, a live and sprightly paper, edited by 3. B. Hlarrington, which paper in honor of our visit issued on the Monday of ourt return a handsome extra, with the follow ing pleasant mention :"Th1e Carolina Press Gang," as the U.NioN so facetiously (?") terms the South Carolina Press Association, came up on the Water Lily last Saturday evening, and though unexpected, were met by a large crow'd of lookers-on at the wharf when ;he steamer landed.

It had been a source of regret LO the Columbia & Greenville Rail Road Company to move their Shops from Helena; ut their combiniations and business inter ests required it. lHe was not authorized, he said, by the Company to speak on the subject, but he felt safe in saying that the Compa.ny will give very liberal terms; that if a capital of $5n,000i be raised the Com pany will lease the Shops, with the eighteen eres of land, for a nominil sum so long as they are used for building ears ; it w ill also give special rates of freight on iron, wood nd other material that would he trans ported to the Shops over its road, and would otherwise do a great deal to encour Ige the enter prise. He said there is a great iemanid for ears now-there is great activ ty in railroad matters-Northern capital is ing invested in Southern railroads, and ~bis section of counotry will be built up in a ew years beyond our most sanguine expec ~ations. He believed the enterprise, with uficient capital and a competent man at he head of' it., would succed. On motion of Mr. T. S. Moorman, Mr. W. T. Parrish was called on for his views. He aid that withi sufficient capital there was o reason why Car Shops at HIelena should lot succeed and pay a handsome dividend. We have the pine, oak and ash in abun lance in our midst; we are as near the iron mud coal regions as most of the Northern >r Westeru Car Shops ; we have skilled nehanics-and we only want the capital. ir.
