New Advertisements.
Mr. Ma wvki.i,, Agent of tlio Clianga Limo i
Company, advertises a reduction of the prices '
of li me for agricultural purposes only. The j
Company has been at'eonside able expense
in preparing the article for market. The application
of lime to laiul is no now theory, but !
practical and advantageous, not only to re- i
now and invigorate soils worn out, but to in- (
orcasc the productions of the grain and root j
crops on land yet in its prime. Wo would
advise our farmers and gardeners to give it a
trial. Wo have been promised ?omc articles I
on its use and its adaption to tlio soil, partio- '
ular crops, grasses. A*c.'
inoDiionn, commissioner in Kquity nnd 1
Ordinary, offer fiomc valuable lauds for sale !
on saleday in October.
Col. Sakcbst, who intends emigrating
the far West, also offers his proporty for Nile.
These, with other now advertisements, ap- I
pterin this number. Special attention is
invited to oaeh one of them.
Saleday.
There was a large number of persons present
on saleday. The sales <>f the day was ;
large. Piokensvillc, or the hotel and adja* j
eent lots, wore sold under tho Sheriff's ham- i

ccssors.
It was also ahuny 'lav. Settlements of va- i
rious kinds were being made, and money ,
changing hands freely, t<> tho groat delight of j
the receivers and others interested.
The candidates wero making "hay," whilst
the good farmers ivoro discoursing of tho un- |
certainty of tho weather and tho chances of
waving thoir fodder.
Maj Perry u Speech.
The speech of Maj. I'rrky. dclivorod rc- i
contly nt the Tunnel Hill celobralion, is giv" !
en entire in this issue. Its great length
shouM deter no one from giving it an attentive
perusal, for rarely have we scon a speech
thnt embodies so much sound reasoning, eon"
rincing argument, and statesman-like views. :
Tt is unanswerable, and has produced such a
fluttering in the ranks of the opposition, as
<o induce the belief that it has had the desired
effect. Its circulation should be extended
\rj all fair moans.
A MessAVe
have been nresentoil hv Mr Divht
lie uiies with a ripe poach, accompanied by <
a huuch of blooms from tho samo tree. The
singularity of tho occurrcncc may perhaps
set the heads of tlio curious to " wool-gathering,"
without hearing a profitable result.?
Accompanying these, was an ohl fashioned
"mess" of golden beans, and a sample of
his new crop of yams. He Inty our tlmnki- i
for tliis act of neighborly kindy.ss.

~ Fort HillA
correspondent of tlie Uniotivillo Times,
writing about Fort Hill, in this district, says!
"Knowing the estimation in which yon
held the lamented Calhoun, and that you are
an unchanged N'ullifior, and glory in tlio appellation,
1 thought it would not be unacceptable
to you to learn something of Fort
Ilill. It stands upon an ominenco about one
mile from Seneca river, and is part of tho
tract of land upon which stood Fort lint
ledge, used by the whiten against the Indians,
previous to the treaty of Hopewell, which.1
think was made in 17X9. The inmates of
the Kurt, in trying trt escape in '90 in Abbeville
I) strict, were all massn.-rod except one
man, nametl Salvador, .\ wealthy Jew. IJeing
on the same tract of land wi(h Fort Uutledge,
the present site of l'ort Hill was in the
original titles to the land, called " port
I'lace," and hence Fort Hill was suggested
and adopted as the name of the place. And
now. Mr. Kditor. let me ltninn to >isk nlmt
ko? of South Carolina can fed indifferent, in
contemplating i'ort llill, with its mixed memofies
of pain and pleasure? In visiting the
plaeo, many things called to mind, the time
when South Carolina, under his lead, was
prepared to vindicate her rights and leave
the consequences to Ood. There we examined
a cane presented to Mr. Oalhohn by a
distinguished Virginian, with the inscription
on its golden head, ''Nullification is the
rightful remedy;" and there i*c saw munv
other evidence* of the high appreciation in
which he was held, both by citizons of the
United States and foreigners. Hut enough!

Tiik Hkci'.nt I'iiknomknon.?The
Winnsboro Register says that the phenom.

past, misled some people who did not
consult their cloel.Ji. It ?ays :
The locomotive, with the road train,
which spends the night at our depot, about
1 a. in. " fired up," aud had on a full head
of steam ; the hands all tvvHttl out, prepared
and ate their breakfasiK preparatory
