EDITORS: It appears almost useless fe mo to write ?ny moro on this subject, but as loog ns there is life there is hope und no ono CUD tell whit to-morrow will bring forth. Those interested in this Bubjeet should keep on toiling regardless of tho many disappointments they meet with sud thc indifference of a mujority of our people. Wc can effeot a Halo good, and though tho return for our labors bo small at first, kt us hope that eventually tho return will be groat und fully satisfac tory. No ono should ever tire of working i for that which ho sees is for thc good of i his fellow man. Wc cannot expect to work j a revolution in tho educational system ol thc county in a few months, lt will require time and paticucc os well ns hard work. Men arc inclined to follow io thc footsteps of their parents, or to express il in n familiar way, to do us they did whoo they weio young. Tho Touchers' Union is something new and apparently sonic thing that is not properly understood b} our people. Why it is that our teacher! do not show meru interest, I cannot under stuud. 'Tis something beyond my compre hcusion. I can only ascribe ono CXJUSI for it and it is this, that they oatch flu infection from thc putronsof our Bohools To this 1 ascribe thc present condition o our schools. They nppour to bo afraid b expenda little money in giving their ohil druu tho best possible legacy that tho; oould leave them. This legacy would b an inheritance that would bc lasting ont ennobling. I desire to sneak ^lnioly, fo plain sneaking is essential to urouso th people to u proper appreciation of educat ing their children. Until this is affecte thc efforts of thc teacher will he iu vail) Never mind how well prepared thc teaebe may bo to impart instruction, he canne instruct tho child thut remains at hom simply becauso bc docs not want to go t school and becauso thc publio money lui neon exhausted. Let tho parent consu his conscience under these circumstauoei and bc will, if ho has any regard whutcvt for thc welfare of his children, soon com to thc conclusion that he is not doing th part of u purent, toward them. Tho dut I of a parent towurJ his child is muiutcuunci I education and protection, und when li neglects any of t esc cssentiuls ho is neg I lectiug his duty ns o purent, without he hi some good excuse, ns in thc education t his children, poverty or some other uni voidable circumstance. As to thc teachers, even though tin aro not properly supported by tho patrol of their respective schools, still this shou bo no excuse for their not) attendance nt tl meetings of tho Union. It should rath make them moro onxious to attend in ord to endeavor to oroato nu interest arnot tho people. Beotiuso others' fail to do tho duty is no reason why wo should neglc ours. Will this effort be oondomm without a suOioiont test ns to its merit It looks sc nt present. If not so, then wi this apparent neglect of so important subject? Is it bee aise tho people hu not been fully advised of the aims of tl Union? or because thero ure none to pu tho onusc of education? Havo no perso exerted themselves to induce both tcaclu and others to attend und fully test t merits of tho undertaking? Let tho p? speak for itself. All havo been implore solioitcd, yen, too, even begged to oid us. You huvo in Walhalla willing (ind ul I workers in this cause-men who huvo ni nor will in the futuro, spuro any pains tl: will create nn interest in tho importe subject of educating tho rising gencratic They ure men who uro daily toiling for t public. Thero arc some men thnt uro i forested io this mutter, for this is evideno hy the colleges of which Walhalla und t county uro justly proud. They stand foi as monuments to their praise Tb again wo havo a strong aider in i COURIER, which has willingly given us t uso of its columns, for whioh it is due nm prrtieo. It luis always manifested a lively interest that is highly appreciated by those who aro in earnest in this matter. Thoro will soon bo another meeting of tho Union called, and it is to bu hoped that thoro will bo a good attoudanoe. Tho wolfuro of tho rising generation, tho wollare of tho county, nud tho interests of both sooicty and religion depeod upon a moro thorough system of education. This sub* jeot demands tho attention of oil, and to parents I would say that by neglecting it, you aro neglecting your children's welfare At tho next meeting let all lend a helping bond and soon Ocooco will bo proud of her Tcaohors' Union. They will seo tho bono fits to bo derived from it and then they will strenuously exert themselves in its behalf. Como ono, oomo all and you will moot with n hearty welcome. 0. FAIR PLAY, S. C., March 15th 1880. Thc Callie ii ii Family, In compliance with the request of a Constitution reporter, Mr. Putriok Calhoun, of this eily, bus kindly furnished tho lol - j lowing interesting genealogical particulars . concerning tho descendants of tho lamented John C. Calhoun, his grandfather. At his i death the groot Carolinian left seven child ; ron -live sons and two daughters. Tboir names were: Andrew Picketts, John C., Patrick, James Edward, William Lowndes, Auno nnd Cornelia Calhoun. All mo dead. Cornelia, Putrick and Jumes Calhoun died unmarried. Anna, who married Mr. Thomas G. Clemson, loft only j ono grandchild, Isabella Leo, who lives with [ he rtather at his beautiful horne en thc Hud son Uiver. Her husband, Mr. Thomas G. , Clemson, still resides at Port Hill, Coonee ! County, S. C, tho old homestead of bet . tall,er. Andrew Pickens Calhoun, thc eldest son, ' died in March, 1805, in .Iiis home nt Kort Hill, leaving n fa mi y of exactly thc same : number ns his father's-seven. These grandchildren of John C. Calhoun, with two or three exceptions, bore thc satur : names us his own children. Their names ; wcro Duff Creon, John C., Andrew Piok I ens, Jumes Edward, Patrick, Marguerite uud Lucretia Calhoun, ?trango os it maj seem, there were five sonn and two daugh ters iu thc immediate family of thc grcai statesman and fivo sons and two dnughtcn iu tho family of his eldest son. Owing t< tho broken up condition of affuirs in Soutl Carolina just after thc war these fivo grand, sons of tho great man determined to sccl their fortunes in the West. Duff Green Calhoun went to Tex as, and ut Hist located nour Bonham At thc time of his death ho was engaged it pluming and practicing law. Hu hit on child, a FOO, Andrew Pickens, who reside with his mol her in Paris, Tuxns, John C. Calhoun is mumed ond lives ii Chicot County, Arkansas.

Patrick Calhoun, tho youngest sor ; located in .St. Louis, where ho engage in tho practice of law for two years. Du ? the climate did not agree with him, un ; on aecount of failing health he decided t J come South. Tho lamented Col Bobci 1 Alston having heard of his intention wrot and asked him to como to Atlanta un cuter into a law partnership with bin Before accepting Col. Alston's offer, M Calhoun came to Atlanta ou o tour inspec lion, ond was so well pleased with tho plat that, on thc 8th of July, 1878, ho tuado his home. Tho reporter is Vcsponsiblo f< tho statement that Mr. Calhoun is ono i tho most promising and populur young mc nt this or any other bar in tho South. Mi Marguerite Calhoun, his eldest, and on living sister, resides will) Mr. Patrick Cu houn, nud his mother, Mrs. M. M. Calhorn ot his home near Edgewood.

V_ . _ Tho Blue Ridge Railroad. Tho many rumors oiroulating about tho Bluo Ridge Railroad aro very perplexing, and frequently exoito our citizens with gravo alarm, lest tho coveted prizo bo grasped from our section and from this Stato.5 lt is well known that tho Air Lino Railroad is figuring to control ocrtuin links in tho eh ,in with tho view of blocking any movement for ita completion. Some weeks ago \\ was positively uunounccd that this ltoud.hud control of thochorteriu North Carolina, but this was promptly ascertained to bo .0 mistake. Now tito rumor comes thut it owns tho Tennessee end of tho Road, with all of tho chartered privileges in that. Stato. Wo do not believe this rumor, be cause it would not secure tho Air Lino against tho building of tho Rino Hideo Hoad'to thc Tennessee line, nod ibero pro curing another charter to Knoxville or some, point on tho Cincinnati Southern j Road; Tho State of Tennessee wants un I outlet, und would chen lolly graut a now charter if ueocssury, and would further bo willing to help in thc completion of tho Road if it were built to thc line of thut State. This link would also do tho Air Liuo no good unless it can control tho in termediate link in North Carolina. In purchasing the Tennessee end of tho Hoad from three to five thousand dollars would bo necessory, und tho prospect of any re turn to tho Air Liuo would bo too vuguo for them to undertake it. While it is proba ble no actual salo has been made, still wo have information that influences hostile to thc Bluo Ridge lloud arc ot work to defeat uny possibility of ils construction, and tho friends of tho enterprise should bo arrang ing for a consolidation of ?ll tho charters and on onward move to its completion by u combination of the owners of all its links. In importance to the commerce of thc Stuto it is-Above uny other Road, und it is suici dal t;)" let it be taken from us. lt m ?ho very ?grobtty desired by tito ?otates of I Tonnosaco und Ohio. I.f once put under j way of completion, largo nmounts cnn bo procured from various souroes to press it to its destination. To oombino and en thuse thcfio interests, which uro the same, is tho important work to which the friends of thc enterprise should now address thoma solves.-Anderson Intelligencer, March 25/A. Tho Air Line's Flank Movement. Tho Greenville News is informed that tho Air Liuo Railroad hos bought thc railroad from Kuoxvillo to Mnrysvillo, aud that (hu lino will bo built without delay to Mount Airy, Gu. Wo wish wo could bo satisfied that this will bo beneficial to Charleston. Our belief is thut tho Air Line Railroad, looking to its own interests , will draw business from Louisville and force it from Mount Airy to Charlotte, instead of allowing it to lind itu natural outlet at Charleston. There is no short routo from Mount Airy to this pott unless the Air Lino Road can uequiro tho Bluo Ridge Railroad, in which caso freight might como down over j thc Blue Bidgo and Greenville und Colum bia Railroads, if thc roads consent to work : together. Tho natural course would then bo tuko to thc Greenwood und Augusta Rail road, when built, or 6011)0 purallol routo, to Augusta, whero Savannah, Port Royal and Charleston would fight for tho busi ness. Thc uir is thick with rumoro of now 'railroad combinations, und tho attitude of Charleston is to wuit patiently for somebody somewhere to make ber fut tuno. This is not tho way that Savannah, Atlanta uod Augusta niuuogc. They go to work for themselves, und for that roapon find capi talists ready to help them, It is unsafe for any city to rely on thc belief that it is so nooessitry to outsiders that it must bo built '.i?i in spite of itself. Tho capital can bo had, if we havo tho men to BIIOW that it eau be profitably employed. Tho loss of tho Marysville Road and tho completion of thc line to Mount Airy will ! certainly bring Charleston nearer to Louis I villo, by rail, than she now is, but the city needs, in order to reap tho full ndvnntago . of Western trade, tho co-operation of thc ? I lines from Charleston to Kuoxvillo, in thc I ! interest of this port. We do not soo that the Air Lino projeot will bring this about. Perhaps tho Ashcvillo routo will, ut last. [News and Courier. Through Rabun Gap. For moro than a wcok past tho air has been filled with rumors to thc efieot that thut part of tho Knox /ille and Augusta Railroad running through East Tennessee wus ubout to bo sold.

Tho purchasers propose, OH WO Uli? J derstond, ot un early day to construct tho ; linc necessary to connect Kuoxvillo with ! their lino at Tocooa City, thus giving us another routo to tho seaboard. This will place Knoxville on a great thoroughfare from tho Nortwest to tho Atlantio, shorter 1 by iionrly 100 mile? than any lino now in op?ration. Tho purohoaor3, wo oro assured, aro amply ablo to successfully oarry out their outorprtBO and oonatruot, if tho Cin cinnati Southern pcoplo do not, tho much talked of Emory Gap Commotion.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, Maroh 26.-At tho banquet last night, in responso to tho toast, "General Grunt, our honored guest gloater armies than N apol con's havo marched at his command, and grouter glories than a orowu havo been his"-tho Goucrul said, after ockuowledging tho cordial reception givcu him: ''lt was my fortune moro than a quarter of a century ago to visit Texas ns a f?cond lieutenant and to participate in thc conflict which was to settle tho bound ary of that State. I am glad to como back on this occasion to behold a territory whioh is an empire larger than como ompircs in Europe I wish for the pcoplo of Texas, as I do for thc pcoplo of tho entire South, that they may go on developing their re sources nod become morci great nod power ful, tiTid in prosperity forget, as thc worthy Mayor expressed it, that there iso boundary between the North and South. {/Prolonged applause I 1 um sure wc will all bo happier und much more prosperous when tho day comes that there shall bo no sectional fool ing." After referriug to his recent foreigu experience, Ito continued: "With tho douse population nud worn out soil of European countries it takes u great, deal of govern ment to enable tho people to got from tho soil o buro subsistence. Hero wo havo a rioh virgin soil ond room enough for ex pansion and development with very little government. I hopo that wo may long be ablo to ?>ot along without being so much governed." A reception, whioh was largely attouded by tho business men, was givcu to thc Goners) ut 12 o'clock to day at tho Cotton Exchange. luricfticBidciilisui in Georgia. Tho fight betwecu Senators Hill ond Gordon, over tho nomination of Simmons os Supervisor of thc Census, was moro im portant than it seemed, lt was u contest between the Independents and tho Regular Democrats, Senator Hill representing tho Independents und Senator Gordon being tho champion of pure mid unadulterated Democracy. Tho victory of Senator Gor don, therefore, is a chock to an ilisiduous movement whioh tho Georgia Democracy cammi afford to ignoro. Thc Georgia Democracy hove not a worso enemy th&tl Cuiigrossiunn Stephens. In his owu district, for some inscrutable reason he seems to bo ablo to do us he likes and set thc party at deli mee. Senator Hill is ap parently anxious to play a similar part in company with .Congressman Kelton and Spoor. Independence within tho party lines is to bo admired, but that indepen dence which takes whatever tho party has to givo and then refuses to bc bound by party rules und decisions is not unythiug to be proud of. Georgia must bo prepared, ns South Carolina is, to fight Indopondontism all ulong th? lino this summer, or tho bottom of thc Democratic party will drop out in November.-News and Courier, Tho Abbeville Medium presents thc following ticket for Stute officers: For Governor: General M.
