A fatal accident occurrcd on the Illu? Ridge

The Health of Charleston.
The attention of the pnblic is directed to the
certificates of medical 111011 in Charleston, in our
c duniin, to show that there is no yellow fever
in the city. Our private advices are late, and
of tho same cheering character. The " breakbone
fever " is also on the decrease. None need
now fear to visit Charleston, either on business
or pleasure.
Frost.
Several of our exchanges state that there was
frost on Friday morning the 14th instant. It
was cortainly very cold for tho season, but wo
did not seo any frost. Wo heard ono "individual
"?an unfortunately mated lloncdict say,
however, that lie " smelt frost " on the aforesaid
occasion.
Sandy Spring.
"Wo like much to tread the snored precincts of
old Sandy Spring Camp-ground, nnd who docs
not? Yearly, from childhood, nlinost, \vc have
attended there! Tlio sublime nnd refining ii>
flnonccs of religious teaching emanate from
thonde. Tlio noMe forost has rung with tho eloquence
of Wioiitman, Donnei.i.v, Uameweli.,
Lkard and their able compeers in the good work.
Thousands have lioro listlessly listened to high
nud holy inspiration, nnd instruction therefrom,
nnd thousands still follow in their footsteps.
Who, with heart o'er so hard, could fail to realize
tho natural effect of those benign influences?
"We t -ust not one of tho vast crowd in attendance
on Sabbath last. Although, We regret to learn,
that tho conduct of a few, during tho meeting,
was not such as comported with tlio occasion.
Not a few of the tents are decaying and down,
but others aro going up, whilst more are, from
year to year, being repaired and used.
Tho Presiding Kldor, Mr. McSwain, delivered
ono of his best sermons nt "eleven o'clock." a

The Review at Hall's.
Tho 2d Regiment of Infantry paraded at
IIull'p, on Tuesday last, for tho annual Review.
Monday was a most inclement day, and svo learn
thoro wore not many out. On Tuesday, however,
the attendance was large, both of the military
and spectators.
At the usual hour, tho Regiment was forced, |
when Col. LtDnKTTER, its skillful chief, took
tho command. I!o carried the Regiment through j
the various evolutions in fine style. Wo were i
favorably impressed with tho creditable manner
in which tho officers and men performed their
duty. In tiinos of trial, it is tho military upon
? which we must roly ; and we are satisfied that

Military Accident.
A very oerious accident took place at Hall'?,
after tho .arado, on Tuesday laRt. The artillery

down tho charge, it oxploded prematurely,
tearing badly the hand t.nd arm of Mr. Cai.viv

Tlie woman, wlio was about seventeen years of I

with the detachment of troops which arrived here ;
from Utah last week. They had for some time
been engaged to be married ns soon as they would
get to this place, where the sorvices of a priest

causing instant death, and then shot himself tliro'gh j

For Congress?A very animated canvass for
Congress is now in progress in the Southern
Congressional District of our State, between
Gen. Aycr and Col. George P. Elliott. Mr.
Ayer is in favor of, and Mr. Elliott is opposed
to. giving the election of Electors to the people.
A public, meeting has been held at St John's

plimcntary to Col Lawrence M Ke'tt, their present
representative, and nominated him as a third
candidate. It is not yet known whetlu\r the
" Bluffton Boy " will accept the nomination.

Richmond Enquirer otitic* that in the Inst report
of the auditor of Public Accounts is an
estimato of the population in the Stale, which
shows an increase of 230,000. The Auditor
has recently procured from the Deputy Marshal
returns from a considerable number of
counties, which show that his estimate approximates
quite nearly the result. The actual
returns of the counties referred to exceed the
estate in the West and fall below it in the
East. The Enquirer observes that if the present
ratio of representation in Congress is preserved,
the increased population in the State,
when taken in connexion with the fractional
excess at the last apportionment, will give
three additional members of Congress.
New Judicial Dist.iict?We learn from the
Yorkville Enquirer that at a meeting of a portion
of the citizens id' Spartanburg, Union and 1
York Districts, held at Limestone Springs on

two from each District was appointed to de

meeting on tlie 1*71h inst.
Nbw Orleans?The growth of New Orleans
has been rapid almost beyond parallel?that is,

he completed, and it will be seen (Der/utm)
tlint old Pendleton is not dead hut aleepeih.
and 1'Iuc:?ix liko will resurrect from her seeming
ashes. My derided opinion is. you as Trustees
hnv-O'it 'in- your power largely to assist in
redeeming Pendleton village from her seeming
ashc*. You have in charge buildings and a
lot worth ten years ago ten thousand dollar*.?
The completion of the railroad has don'.led its
value. As private gentlemen, the vicinity of
Pendleton has claims on you for the extension
of education ; as a corporate body, and having
extensive buildings, how much in >re have thoy
the right to expert from you the dissemination
of knowledge. N >w. take this simple \iewnf
the fact " professional, mercantile and mechanical
operations go to enrich individuals. Disbursements
of money likewise from your schools
benefit every individual in the com tiunitv.
I could have told Mr. DulJow that "Oi l Pun.

and J'eicer d<ut/i? tlinn any institution or village j

If tho trustees want to find out that their

The Lady Eljin Disaster.
Wo select front the Chicago panel's a few
incident# of this terrible disaster :
Of the Union (Suards, ('npt.MJest, forty- >ne
rank and lile, but six members, privates, rctna:n
alive; of the Mihv.iukic City Baud of
eleven musicians who accontpaiiicd them, there [
arc but two survivors. Of the gaj' cxcUt- j
siouisls, their female companions, wives and i
sweethearts, how few survive Jet the brief list j
tell.
What wonder tlu'n that Milwaukie turned '
out her mourners hy thousands, and that she j
bccomcs the chief centre uf sympathy and interest.
From our reports, by the hasty extras
of Milwaukio papers, and later by the
telegraphic dispaehes, we are able to answer
many inquiries of our readers.
When the intelligence of the loss of the
steamer, with the excursion party of Union
Guards, reached Milwaukie, it spread like
wildfire through the city. The telegraph
and newspaper officers wore thronged all day
with parents, brothers, sisters and friends of
those on board, and the telegraph lines given
nn oxr.lnsiif<?lv to fmnnnrnlm#

disaster. Many who prosontod dispatches!
were in tears, nnd the most intense anxiety
and excitement was manifested in the countenances
of all.
Ladies came to inquire for husbands, children
for mothers and fathers, brothers for
sisters, and some of the scnncs presented were
the saddest ever witnessed. Among the passengers
were several member* of the common
council, four or five of the city police, the
military, firemen, &c. In the First Ward, it
is said, that there in scarcely a home or place
01 oumiucss uut ni>s lost koiiic inmate or employee.
*
All the survivors unite in according t<>
Oapt, Jack Wilson, the commander o'* the
iii-ftitud steamor, praise for brnvery nna during,
such as so often sheds upon the fame of
the bravo sailor laurels that time cannot dim.
True to his duty and his manliness, ho was
throughout the foremost in confronting danger,
cool and collected in his encounter, instant
and earnest for the safety of his passengers.
For a iong time in that company of
fifty on the raft ho held in his arms tliayoung
child of a lady passenger, chccred his com*
pnnions in peril, and his last words, as ho
ncared the fatal lino of surf, were of oncour
i J _1 \T * I - -
agi-muiii uneer, ** now, Doys, lOOK out tor

vain,the rnft parted, and (Japt. Wilson went
down in tho angry Wntcrs, riis Inst not being
to attcmpi to wvo two children. Honor to
the memory of tho bravo. lli? houss, in
Coldwuter, Mich., is desolate ami stripped of
ns bravo nr.d truo a heart as ever beat in a
sailq^'s bysotn.
Late In iha afternoon a beautiful female
infant of about three months of age, washed
m-thorn at Kvanston. In n sweet unconsciousness
of peril, in ?rt hou? when' a mother's
breast wa? no shelter, tho fierco wrath of
the elomcnta could not drivo the smile from
the tiny choeks that in death, hours after,
wore the sombhitiee of quiet and placid sleep.
John Furlot>g, when the boat began to
break up, succeeded in finding a cabin door,
with which he threw himself into tho water.

ly few of our citizens had the pleasure of l<

' We never witnessed a grander or more glorious
display uf the Northern light*. It oe|
curred at an hour when our population had
generally retired to rest, and but a small

It was a clew, bright, moonlight light,
and the air scorned over charged with electrio

statist to us that .Mr. Miller died at

Many of our readers, perhaps, remember that
Mr. Miller oocupiod a very prominent position
in South Carolina for many years. Ho
