Death of Langdon Cheves.
This truly great man died in Columbia
on tho 201 h ult., in tho eighty-first year of
hia age. lie was a native, of Abbeville,
and entered public life whon young. As I
a lawyer, ho took high position ; then ho ,
was Bont to Congress, whore, during tho 1
war of 1 412, he disiinguMied himself in
debate, advocating the cause of his conn- j
try against our natural enemy. IIo was
afterwards elected Speaker of tho House. !
On returning home, ho was elected Judge- '
And afterwards appointed President of the j
United Slates Hank.
The Carolinian says his frame was Her- '
culean, anu his intellect massive and powerful,
and he bore within himself ltoman
HternnesS and Roman greatness, lie was

The Court of Equity,
For Pickens district, has been in session
this week, Chancellor Daugan presiding.
Tliere wore about forty eases on thedoekets, !
most of which were hoard and determined.
There was one of much importance, which,
at the proper time, wo may report for the
benefit of all concerned. 11 is Honor dis- ,
patched business pleasantly, and his d yisions
gave very general satisfaction. They j
at least harmonized both law and equity
most beautifully. An appeal wid probably
be taken in one case.
The expense attending suits in this court
has furnished a fruitful theme for croakers.
Two cases?bills for partition of real and
personal estate?were disposed of at this
term, which will set the matter at rest- J
Ono of the estates, amounting to something ,

a cost less than $400.00. It" (ho estate
hrfd been closed by Rale, in the usual way, I
the cost would been more than $5,000.00. j
In the other case, ilio estate amounted to i
about $40,000.00, which has been closed '
at a cost loss than $'250.00. A full admin- j
juration would have cost the estate more j
than $'2,000.00.
Court adjourned on Tuesday.

The Democratic Nominations.
A convention of' the democratic party of
Georgia convened recently,at Milledgeville,
for the purpose of nominating a candidate
for Governor. Near one hundred ballot- ,
ings were had without eft'eotinar a nomination,
U a urn Bit receiving a flattering, vote, j
When he was withdrawn, Mensrs. Lumimun
and Lamar were voted for by the 'convention,
but neither could command a twothirds
vote. Finally, Judge Josi;ph E.

nominated. The nomination ha>> ,

Kansas.
Tho elcciion in Kansas for members of
tho constitutional convention to frame a
constitution, preparatory to the admission
of that territory into the Union us a State,
lias resulted in favor of the pro-slaverv party.
Tho ''free State men," however, had
no candidates in the field. It is supposed
that they rely on their uTopeka organization,"
and will ask Congress to admit them
into this "glorious Union" with that bogus
concern. This will have tho effect of producing
excitement in Congress and throughout
the country?food upon which tho ab
olitionists live and thrive.
Under these circumstances wo should not !
relax our efforts in succoring Southern interests
in Kansas, and wo commend this
view of llio subject to those who are prating
about the "national democracy," and
attempting to distract and divide the State
upon past issues and prospective troubles.
Let the South maintain her present position
in Kansas, and all will be Well.
Utah!
Col. Ci MMiNG.s, of Missouri, has been appointed
to and has accepted the Governorship
of Utah. He is peculiarly fitted for
the place. Troops are moving in that direction,
and tho Governor's authority will
bo supported by an adequate force. The
days of Brioiiam Young's reign have been
numbered, and with it wo may expect much i
trouble. The foliowing paragraph from tho |
Washington lf:iiun suggests n greater difficulty
perhaps:
" The difficulties to l>o encountered in
Utah are inoro numerous and complicated
than is now generally supposed. Among
them may be incidentally mentioned that
Brigham Voung claims a title to nil the
lands in the Territory, and has never recognised
the United States surveys. Nono of
his followers have purchased lands in nc
cordanoe \vit!j our laws. Honce, one of the
delicate duties of the Federal Courts of that
Territory will bo to establish and maintain
the rights uf those who may horcafter purchase
in accordance with our laws. Not
an individual in all Utah now holds a loot
oi iana ino mie 01 wnion is derived Horn
the United States, and it follows, under
this strange condition of things, that all
parts of the Terrilcrry are at the present
ti.no open to pre-emption."
The Depot at Walhalla.
We learn that tho site of the depot for
Walhalla has been fixed on, and that it is
being graded. It will bo built by contract*
as wo understand, and completed at an early
day.
Later from Europe.
Recent arrivals from Europe inform us
hat the price of cotton had slightly advanced.
The political intelligence is unimportant.
Douglas Jehuold, one of the

A Hail Storm.
About two years ?ig \ our readers will
recollect that this district was visited by
one of the severest hail storms ever known.
i
Hut worse than this is the account wo have ;
of one in Buchanan county, Missouri.? !
There the hail storm "destroyed all the!
crops and killed some cattle in the fields. |
Several men were injured and one, a negro
killed. The hail stones were as largo as '
goose eggs."

Correspondence.
We clip the following paragraphs from
E. K.'s interesting correspondence in the
Edgefield Advertiser: s
" 1 must he allowed, juRrtiere, to relate
;i couple of anecdotes. I will take no denial.
So here goes without any further circumlocution.
It not unfrequenllv happens
that a Dutchman's bull is nowise inferior to
that of the lri.?hi <n. Pat's literari/ blunders
are generally very amusing, hut the
lovers of sour crout sometimes perpetrate

I sides and lo vest buttons. I once heard a
i pretty good thing of this sort fall from the
I lips of a little Dutchman named Conrad
I Zinc. Encountering his smiling phiz the
[ other day at a Baltnliion Muster, the inci,
dent was brought vividly to mind. It
seems thai on the occasion referred to, Zinc
was expecting to gel a horse from Capt.
Hariis for the purpose of riding oul into the
country. (Conrad Zinc was " perfectly in
Town" then.) Hut Smith, the ubiquitous
Smith, vol in before our friend ftmiml ?nrl
i * cr. . " , j
| borrowed the horse. As tho ?nvied rider
passed the piazin which n half dozen or
, tnw of us wore seated, Zinc snng out to
' him in words like the following. ' Schmidt!
oh, Schmidt, 1 dosh wish dm horsh would
! iro' you tlat on da ground 'fore you come a
' (p He off from dish ptacc." WhiUt ?v Pick|
ens, last Spring, I met with on esteemed
friend whoso colloquial powers are unsurpassed,
and who by-the-by is n native of
Edgefield Village. Among other#oodones,
he lelnted the following anecdote, which I
venture to retail or, nccottnt of its association
with old Edgefield: There was once a
candidate for the Legislature in your District,
who advocated Agrariani&m. At h
ceitnin gnthoiing of the Democrncy, n
bhrewd old farmer took him up "short off,"
and expostulated with him upon the absurdity
of his principles, " Don't you k()ow,
Sir," said the farmer. " tlwit it would be in
vain to make an equal distribution of property
amongst nil the citisens? After the
lapse of ft few year*, people would occupy,
relatively, about (be ertmc position, in which
wo now find them ; and I would liktMo
know wluii you would recommend then?"
#
To this, quoth the candidate, who was nevei
elected. " D?nd if I didn't have ano if in

" Fearful of making my last communication
too lengthy, I omitted several items
which may very properly bo introduced in
to this letter. On my second visit to tlx
great Tunnel, I was very politely showr
through the Powder Mill by llic gentleman
ly supcrinteudant. The Brave and sierr
aspect aid Hutted by 8ome to tbe employed
in establishments of this kind, is, perhaps
not altogether imaginary. There is poteni
cause for this seriousness on the part oi
those who are engaged in manufacturing
gun powder. A wreck at sea, when ibt
storm-king, inn voice of thunder, shouts u
the "barking waves," is awful and terriffit
in the extreme; but, than this I ween, tin
explosion of a powder magazine would b(
still more horriblo and appalling. Knowing
i hat my shoes had iron tacks in them, 1 fell
rather apprehensive, as I walked across tin
floor all begtimed with kill-seed. And al
though I was extiemely glad of an opportu
nity to inspect the interior of a Powdei
Mill, yet I <lidn't feel the least inclined ei
thor to hop, to skip or to dance. There i:
a mystery connected with the process o
making powder, and the secret is w<*l
guaided by those who nrc interested. Sucl
parts of the process, however, as nre pab-r.
to the view, I proceed to give in as succinc
a manner ns pos? Me, First, the sulphur
charcoal and nitre (saltpetre) are pulverized
in mortars by pestles shod with brass U
prevent ignition. Next, the powder mate
rials pass through coarse seives, and ar?
then ready for granulation. This part o
the operation is pretty apt to excite a smile

more than one commissiontof 5 percenl oul
of the same fund. I learn, however,
that the practice of all the Boards have

FOU TUB OOUIUEB.
Mr. Editor: I am not in tho habit of writing
for public journals ; but I feel inclined
to berj a place in your valuable paper for tho
following remarks, concerning a school
taught in our district under tho care of tho
Uev. C. II. Si'baiiks. I havo this day witnessed
what may properly be termed nn I
eclectic Examination of his students, about
forty in uumber. I noticed that several of
bis classes presented themselves for exnmi*
nation without any kind of book in hand
whatever.
Sentences for analysis, and problems for
solution ; both Arithmetical and Geometric
oal wore given; and I was forcibly struck
with tho prompt and corrcct disposition
mtidu of them. Tho examination in Geo
gr.iphy.Natural Philosophy, and Astronomy
was " Something New" and truly interesting
even to the uninitiated. Mr. Stbakes
certainly has a pleasant and happy method
of impartation. one of the most essential
qualifications in a Teacher.
I was told that Mr. Si'karks has occupied
Clnremont Academy, as principal, for
five consecutivo years, ami lhat there is tio
abatement whatever of his zeal in the good
cause?an instance without a precedent, in
the district. At proper intorvals, the crowd
was entertained with music, vocal and in
strumental, which added not a little to the
interest of the occasion. Success to Claremount.
The second session of Mr. Si'KAiu.V school
will commence 2nd Monday in July next.

door an ebony face, (and a very long one it
was ioo^ nwi sfuu,
" Muster, I lie carriage is broke sir!"
"The carriage, Harry ?'' replied his master.
"Yes sir," responded Harry, "and l'ia
afeoijffd sir.it won't hold out till we can get
to Cbu ksville ; I'have been 'quirrin of these
people whar tliar is a blacksmith's shop,
and they pays that tlrnr aiut none any nonr- *
er nor Clarksville."
" Wei), Harry, this is had news, truly,"
replied his master, "but harness in the
mules and perhaps it will keep up till wo
reach Claiksville."
Harry went away to do as ha whs bidden,
and left us alone, to enjoy our fire-side
I'hnt. which I confess, lost a <rii>ni Hn.-il nf
its interest', nficr we had heard of tho sail
Accident of iho carriage, nml thought of *
our excoetr.ngly light pnrsts, nnd tho long ,
miles that lay between us and homo. But
whoever heard of earthly pleasuro unmixed
with pain ? Thecventof the carriage'a
breaking down toy, jnst at this particular
crisis was too bad. Was it not trying ? and
so*far, too, from a hhtck-sniithV shop ? But
who ever hoard of a carriage,' or any other
vehicle of tho kind, breaking near a blaoksnnth'a
shop ? Such a thing may possibly
happen, and when il doi-s, it should bo
penned down and roinembeu'd, ns ono of
tho strango events which do sometimes
take place, but it falls to the lot of only tho
happy few to recount ati event So signally
in their favor.
T3ut to do justice to the -onrriago, ami
Harry's careful driving I must own that
w? reached Claiksvillo duly, and with
whole bones too, and now. the first thing to
be done, was to hunt for a black smith shop
which is not hard to find in Clarksvillc.
I have been keeping my spirits up all tho
morning's drive in iho bare hope, that probably,
the carriage was not very badly
broken, but as soon as I got a peep at tho
knowing looks of the handsome young
black-smith's face, all whs ovor with mr.
and I lot go that straw of my hopes. I saw
that wo were doomed to stop, but do not exactly
know how long, yet tho uignificant
looks of the black smith scorned to announce
that it would be longer than anv
of us would liko to be detained. "Well,
sir," interrogated my relative, after the examination
of the carriago had been long
and well attended to "what repairs does
the carriago ooed and how long will it
tako you to do tho work ?"
" Well, Mr." replied (ho tradesman,
slowly and cautiously, " I stipposc that we
can do llie work absolutely necessary, by
tiiia time to-morrrow," and he looked up at
tho sun, which was now, a good lazy man's
height.
1 had prepared myself lo hear tho reply
announced " hours," but I wop entirely unprepared
to bear two dozen of them announced,
and so were all, our party, but
then, what could bo done? The blacksmith
bad said, and like tlio Doctor orders,
he must bo obeyed, and with a kind of
comical desperation, wo .submitted, und
half way leaped out, without paying much
attention to dial bughl-to-be-done-nway?
with fashion of being handed to and from
carriages. For my own part, I could always
got in and out as easy again, without tho
assist a neo of a gentleman; for what isea&iI
er than to ascend or descend tho stops of a
carriage? A lady Con as well ascend them
i as sho can door-step*, without help, and
where is the lover, or husband, or friend,
that will stand day by day, at the doors
steps (a wait on os ? When* is the husband
that will doit, oven when he lists nothing-ilso
to do. No, this unnecessary part
of their gallantry is nil saved for tho public
eye, and he who is most attenlivo under
its cognizance, is most relax nt homo; mark
it my friend, and you will find it to bo
true. Bbttie.
