Wo ask for them a crowded house. Death of an Old Citizen Wo regret to announce tho death of Mr. JOHN CAPEHART, an old aud highly re spected citizen, whioh occurred quito suddcu ly on Saturday moruing last, at his resideneo near this placo. Personal. Col. Low, of Illinois, and Maj. LEE, late Superintendent ?of tho South Carolina Peni tentiary, arrived in our town Monday ovening last. These Engineers have entered upon thoir duties of survey, nnd rc-ostim?to of work necessary for the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad. They loft Walhalla Tuesday for .Clayton, Georgia. Court at Anderson Tho Court at Anderson, in. compliance with .thc late Act. convened on Monday last, Jud?ro ORR presiding. There is very little business, ' wo understand, in the Sessions, aud not as much os usual in tho Common Pleas. Un. der tho new regime thc system and order of our Circuit Courts have been materially chang ed Tho Court of General Sessions com mences at Walhalla for thc County of Oconcc on tho second Monday of March, and thc Court of Common Pleas on tho first Wcducsday after the second Monday in March. County Commissioners Tho Surveyor, appointed by tho Commis sioners to perform tho work of divining thc County of Oeonec into townships, reported on the 20th inst, a fulfilment of contraot, 'and presented to tho Board thc number, and metes and b ninds of the townships, together with a full pl tt of the County. The townships are oijrht in number, and named and designated -as follows : Township Number 1, known as Ventre; No. 2, known as Seneca; No. 3, known as Tug?lo; No. 4, known os Wage ner; No. 5, known ns Keoxocc; No 6, known as Pulaski ; No. 7, known as Ohatuga; No. 8, known os White Water. Snperceded. Wo learn that AT-EX. BRYCE, Sr., who was lately appointed as ono of tho Assessors for Ooonco County, has been suporccded by the Governor by the appointment of Mr. D. P. ItOBiNS.of this place, to that position; and S. G. II ERNDON has been appointed County Treasurer in placo of DAVID SANDERS. Wo fool confident that tho new appointments will give general satisfaction. No bettor selec tions eould be made. Who Can Beat It ? Wo aro informed that Mr. SITAS HINKLE, -of Piokcns County, recently killed a hog whioh woighed flvo hundred and forty pounds, nett. Also, a pig fivo mouths old, woighing ene hundred and thirty.fivo pounds, nett. Can Oconcc'beat this ? Pblloiophy of Adverting It is a very oommon but erroneous opinion, that tho advertising columna of a paper aro of little interest to its roudera. Tho ozpericnoo of the Merchant teaohos him tho fallacy of ?this opinion, and demonstrates tho real valuo of reading tho advertising columns of a paper. When ho reaohes market, his morning cup of -enffoe is onjoyed, while bo eagerly eons tho various headings, (" Cheap Goods," " Bar gains to bo Had," and suoh like,) proparato . ry to making lils purchases. The effect it has on his mind is precisely tho o fie et his own ndvortisoinont will produce* on over) teador-for human nature is substantially thc t&mq ovcrywhorc. Besides, to purchase fron Morohants who advertiso liberally, is botl wiso and natural, for ho that blows the loud ?st will bo heard tho farthest; and ho tho is hoard tho farthest will colloot the larges number of customers, and sell the most goods and he that solis tho mostgoodsean afford to and wilt sell the cheapest. This is an Incon trovertible fsofc, thttt tho prioo, at whioh i [Use, ia necessarily confined to tho eircle of his personal frionds and acquaintances, and must theroforo bo smaller than that of him, who, by liberal advertising, extonds bia busi noss through a Widor acopo. The purchaser will therefore, find it to his pecuniary advan tngo, always to patrouigo mon who advertiso liberally, for they will certainly trado liberal ly. Nothing better illustrates tho value of advertising than tho success wbiob attends tho propagators of tho worthless nostrums, whioh aro spread throughout tho country. Nothing intimidated at a little expense, Mr. Humbug scuds forth bis flaming placards of a wonderful discovery, which will euro, re storo, beautify and strongtbon ovorythingaud everybody, from a cbiokeu cook to a mau, aud soon tho purchaser says, I'll try ooo bottle, and by the timo every fool tries a bottlo, a marble palaco is scon to exalt its imposiug front on somo fashionable street in New York to graco Mr. aud Mrs. Humbug. There it stands aud will continuo to stand, as many j such now do, a living mouument of tho valuo of advertising. If tho people oau advertise a fortuno out of a humbug, oan't you, my mer cautile friouds, so extend your houest aud honorable trado by it, as, wbilo bonofitiug tho peoplo you enriob yourselves. Try it. Try it faithfully, and uover givo ovor tryiug, for success aud fortuuo is surely ahefcjjV-X Perio Tho ?Child knowledge of and beautifu tender mind affcotious tb aud happier " Once a Ml cles from lcudiri with caro and diseV ARTHUR'S HOME popular bas been frequon mutter cntcrtuiuing and mends itself to tho taste of a uity. The Finances. Mr. Sherman, from the Finanoo Committee, has reported to the United States Senate, an important Bill, bearing upon thc flnanaoes of thc country, of whioh tho following isa com prehensive synopsis : It provides in thc first section for tho legal ization of contracts made specifically payable in coin, but not oe ooutraots for tho borrow-M ing of currency or to the renewal of an in-S debtednc-s under a contract already enter^B into, unless such contracts originally rcqmrSH payment for coin. | I| Section 2 provides for tho annual ap{PW?& ntion of one hundred and forty milliouE^^M of customs receipts to be applied to the hayl? ment of the interest and reduction ofrthel principal of tho public debt, in lieu nflmsl sinking fund now authorized. fl Section 3 provides that thc holders offl' 1 ful moneys of thc United States*JW^?B? chango the same in multiples of c I forty live percent, gold bondsjnfl v Secretary of tho Treasury shaUJPBljj H to issue for the purpose.

MORTALITY IN NKW YORK.-Dr. Harris, in bis wookly communication to the board of health of New York, states that during tho past year tho deaths in that eity reached 24, 889. Tho third quartor, owling Ootohor 1st, he says, witnessed a mortality whioh will bo as memorablo as tho' hot summer io whioh itooourred. The 8,058 doatbs in Now York, and 3,402 in Brooklyn during that period ' wore almost double the normal rate of mor 1 tality during tho quartor just onded. > 9Sf Gov.

A great many Bills of incorporation, some of them incorporating iniportnnt Manufacturing Companies, havo passed tho House, and some other Bills of general interest. A Bill to provide for tho pay of tho Commissioners and Manogors of Elections has passed aud beou sent to tho Senato.

Thc Senate has confirmed thc Act of tho Legislature of 18GG, granting additional aid to thc Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Thc Bill for that purposo has not yet been consid ered in tho Houbu, and many of tho friends n! j thc road arc looking unensily for tho result ir that body. President Hammett is herc will his wonted cnorgy and sagacity, using everj honorable means to sustain the Road. Ho i? the bead and soul of thc.Road, is a self-mad* man in tho striotcst senso of tho word, ant from his sucoess in restoring it from a state o ruin and dependency tooneof paying prosper ity, wc say " well done." All bia efforts hav> been based on tho legislation of 18GG, wliiel is now threatening to crutnblo to pieces am render bis labor fruitless, except so far as i will serve to stamp him a mun of the firs ability in Railroad matters. I trust a sens of justioo will prevent suoh n catastrophe When wc remember the earnings of the rou before and during tho war perished with th ourroiioy, and our oollapro found it ponnilcsi with thirty miles of track destroyed, beside several expansivo bridges, we can realizo tli difficulties which have been met and ovcrcom to bring tho Road to ?ts presont prospcrot condition. Shall it now bo sacrificed ? UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. This time-honored institution, whioh lu been tho pride and glory of South Carol it for a period of nearly sevonty years, is to I cherished still. Though in a stato of weal ness in inhoront pecuniary rcsourcos, it still strong in professional ability and tl other clements of a good school of instructio It cannot fail to recuperate with tho countr and whenever tho means of tho pcoplo w 'admit, its many advantages will attract largo collection of stu louts. It would nev do to suffer an institution to perish, whii has, for so many years, boco tho nursery tho intclloct of South Carolina, and whioh h sont forth so many mon, whose foot-prints i the sands of limo can nover bo effaced. I action has ss yot boon tnkon in|the matti but indopondont of n constitutional recog? tion, I am satisfied tho Institution hos t good will and GoJ-spccd of noarly, if not t whole Logislaturo. THE CI?CY. Columbia, io well known in fo-mor dnys the " City of Oaks," has boon shorn of beauties and attractions by tho fire-god. T _4eyac$*tipq of Bhormao'e army will long j 9 bo visible iu tho nuked chimneys and piles of rubbish, which meet tho eye iu every direc tion. Slowly but scatteringly now buildings rise up, Pheonix Uko, from tho general debi s; but tho universal poverty uud ruin of th 3 country forbid anything like rapid recupera tion. It has tho health, water-power, railroad facilities and ceutral position to mnko it n great inland city in tho future, but ?imo and gonoral prosperity aro necessary to effect this. The salo of tho Columbia Cana! to Spraguo, tho grout Rhodo Island manufacturer, has raised visions of coming prosperity, which, wo trust, will soon bo realized to the gonoral advantage of tho people. Gov. Scott did well had ho given tho Canal away, if such a courso would serve to introduce a largo manufactu ring interest among us. ? successful begin ner is what we need to dispol the prejudices of old fogies, who have always propagated the idea that our oountry wus udaptod to agricul ture ouly. Onoo begun, and soon another and another will arise, and our staplo will be bought and manufactured muong us, and tho mouoy kept hore, whioh wo now daily send North for printed rags. There is a good dotti of life in oommcreiul oirclus, and cotton is rapidly ohanging bauds. Coru is bought in lump nt 81.00 pur bushol, and sold at retail ut 91.25. Tho city ii porfootly quiet aud law-abiding, aud every ono seems to be more interested in acoumulatiug mouoy than agita ting politics. There is a Regiment of "Blue coats ". near by, but they interfere with uo ono. They seem likoly to romain a good while, as they ure preparing and planting lar??o gardens. K. Cotton's Kingship. A new and strong impulso hus been given tho business of the South by the large crops of cotton, sugar, oom, &o., of tho last scisou, and tito high prices whioh theso pro ductions command iu the uiutkcts of the country. Thc favorable ohnngc is deeply and extensively felt by all thu industrial iutercsts of thc South. Multitudes in tho East aud West, it is said, aro expressing a strong desire to emigrate to thc South and engage iu tho raising of oottou-anu will do so as soon a^ they shall have full nssuranco that affairs in the South arc iu a permanently settled con dition. Wre all know that during thc late .var, called thc War of the Rebellion. Orcat Britain) cut oif from her supplies of cotton from the Southern States, made vigorous an i persever ing efforts, upon a largo scale, to raise cotton iu the East Indies, hoping that an article might bc obtained which, by a modification f inaohincry and other moans, would sub rvo all thc purposes of tho cotton of the The British papers boasted much of ocas of this groat and expensive entor ?, and the British people generally, and people of this country, North and South, ro uudcr the impression that the boasted sucocss was an actual success. There wus n deop and wide spread conviction upon both continents that, even if thc South, restored to pcaco, should raise as much and as excellent cotton as she over -raised, she would lind no s;de for it in Europe. But tho grund East india experiment has failed. It bas fallen, ab onioned, to tho ground. Tho British man" ulaoturcrs confoaa nt last, though with grio1 and mortification, that no portion of all earth can furnish such cotton for their usc as thc Southern StatCO of our Uniun. Southern cotton, therefore, is destined to resumo its old supremacy. Its kinghood will bc re-estab lished, Tho war very nearly ruined tho South. Mul-govcrnmcnt seemed to complete the ruin. We feared that tho ruin was for all time. Hut our Southern friends, even under all tho disadvantages and oppressions that weigh heavily upon their shoulders, arc already omcrging from the tide of ruin, dashing tho waves aside with lusty arms and hearts of con troversy. They arc hopeful. Thoy behold abovo them some clouds, but much of tho blue beaven nod its stars. Thoy prosper, ex cept where tho negroes arc loosed against them like war dogs; and thc shocking negro outra ges c.innot last long no matter how necessary thc radicals may think them to the attainment of their ends. Radicalism in the South has no other fate than to subside, to oolhipse, to shrink up, to bo decomposed into tho foul va pors and gases out of which it was made - Multitudes of thc better portion of tho popu lation of tho East and Wost will go to thc South ; go not to rule and oppress und des. poil, but to engage honestly and in good fuith in tho cultivation of tho richest lund thnt spreads out its flowers and its vcrduo bencuth tho oyo of tho sun. Tho war was a dreadful evil to tho South, but it is a beneficent provision of dod that most OV'ls have their compensation.
