Two copies of old papore havo been baoded us by Mrs. L. D. Hreonooke, of Walhalla. These papers are The Koo wee Courier, dated October JW, 1858, then published at l'ickens Court House, and tho Walhalla Uanner, published at Walhalla, and dated July 7, 1858. Hy referonco to The Courier's editorial column we Hud that this issue of Octo ber ?1, 1858, ?B No. 14 of Volume 10, and that Col. Robt. A. Thompson, now resid ing near Walhalla, was the editor and proprietor, lt is full of news of the times, splendid selections of miscellany and mattera of information. In tbe ad vertising columns we note the following names: W. J. Parsons, Ordinary of l'ickens district; L. C. Craig, Sheriff; J. E. Hagood, Clerk of Court; Jos. J. Norton, K. M. Keith. Kasley A Wiokliffe, W. M. Haddon, J. J. Davis, Norris, Har rison A Pulliam, attorneys; Jean Ute. Kischosser, jewolor; Robt. A.Thompson, Commissioner in Equity; Jas. George, M. F. Mitchell, J. N. Lawrence, lumbsr doalors; merchants-J. H. Voigt, J. M. Alexander, E. K. Alexander, J. A. Cur Icy (Hamburg), C. Rieoko, Jr., Maxwell A Seaborn, J. T. Sloan A Co. (Pendleton). The annual fair of Picketts district is announced, over the signature of Miles M. Norton, president. W. K. Kasley, administrator, advertises for sale, "three negroes-Tone, a first rate blacksmith, young and likely; Audy, a llrst tate fol low ; and Clary, a good cook." In tbe miscellaneous logal notices wo lind the names of H. A. H. Gibson, (now living at Walhalla), X. Gibson, JOSHO A. Hall, E. A. Tate, (i. W. Vantant, H. A. Moody, .1. IS. Clayton. Announcements of can didates aro shown ss follows: For major of 2d regiment, W. H. Whito; for Ordinary, .la?. A. Doyle, W. E. Hol combe, S. H. Johns, Kev. .lohn Owens, Thos. .1. Keith: for Sheriff, Lemuel Thomas, A. H. Sargeant, W. N. Craig; for Tax Col leo tor, A. S. Stephens, Geo. Steading, Kev. .1. K. Huonicutt, Rev. H. M. Harton, .1. W. L. Cary. H. C. Hunt. Taken as a whole, this old copy of The Courier is a goo?! index to the life of Oi?l ricken? district, a directory of its business men, and a correct budget of tile happenings of the territory it repre sented. It beats tho stamp of truth ami accuracy at every hand that has always characterized tho life of its guiding spirit abd editor, Col. Robt. A. Thomp son. Tho Walhalla Haulier of date July 7, 1858, is shown to he Mo. 7 of Volume 2. The proprietors wore A. Hryce ?V Son, with Joel H. Clayton as editor and C. C. Torrey, puhlishor. This papor, too, tike Thc Courier, is bright and newsy, and in every column is shown a tendency to olo vate the reader by tho excellence of the matter given. In general make-up and appearance, at first glance, it would ap pear to a casual observer to bo a socond t'dition of The Courier, though there are typographical "ear marks" that mark it us entirely separate and distinct. The same attorneys' names appear in Tho Uanner as in Tho Courier. That Wal halla was a thoroughly Gorman town in 1858 is evidenced hy a glauco ovor tho list of tho names of those who conducted the business at that time-H. Fajen, IL ??ssel, Henry Hahntge, A. M. Ayers, Mrs. II, Knee, Anton Deuseh, H. Stucko, ? Wm. Muller, Louis Muller, C H. Whito, J. H. Fischossor, John H. Ostepdorff, G. Hiooke, Jr, A notice of the German .Set tlement Society is signed by tho follow ing directors and officers; D. Riemann, Jacob Schroder, John M. Hencken, H. Hahntge, C. II. Rochan, ?. IL Issertoll. Other names which appear frequently aro G. H. I). Cramer, J. I\ Darby, Flam Sharpe, F. \. Garvin, J. G. and A. Bryce. A peculiarity of tho spoiling in rbis copy is that where Main street is mentioned it is used thus "Maino-Street." An advertisement, signed by Wm. ll. PeronnoAll, treasurer, also appears in this issue, calling for the Mth and 1Mb installments of subscriptions to the i ipi? ra! stock of the Hine Ridge Railroad ? lompany. These old copies of papers are value? ide in many ways. Those who havo them should preaorvo them carefully. In many instances the broken links in tho history of old l'ickens district and Goo noo county in its early days can he weldod together by a careful reading uod study of the current events of tho Hines as given by these two prominent (llssominators of information. Their C0lUBin8 are full of valuable matter. Tho subscription price of each of tho above publications was fl ea?h; f 1,50 If paid within six mouths; f?_ if j.aid within rt year. __________________ Janies llazen Hyde, of Equitable In surance Company faun-, wi 11 rosido in Europe in the fut m c.

Policy-holders may not be able to skin the Xquitable for its Hyde and tallow, but the government announces that it is goiug to skin Europe for its Hyde. ... At a banquet tendered him at Madison, Wis., last week, W. J. Brynn announced bis intention of making a tour around the world, "While there's life there's hope." Mr. Biyan may ftud enough Democrats in thu whole world to elect him President of tho United States. V* The Georgia Legislature last Saturday passed titty-four bills in fifty-four minutes. South Carolina's.last Legisla ture did nomo lightening work, too, at its last session, and it hasn't all been straightened out yet. In important mat ters it is well to mak. baste slowly. The Anderson Mail, always ready with spicy squibs, thus announces the pro proposed joiut debate between McLsurin and Tillman: "Former Senator MoLau rin wan';, to meet Present Senator. Till man in joiut debate. Thus doth the corpse rise up and revile tho undertaker," *.* Lavonia, Ga., comes to the front with a handsome new paper, Vol. 1, No. 1, having boen issued July 23th last. It is neat and newsy, and shows at the very beginning an air of prosperity that speaks well for its future. We welcome it to our exchange table and extend our best wishes for its success. The Times is published by the Lavonia Publishing Co., with Luther Roberts as editor ana business mauager. .% lt is seldom we have to apologize in the matter of giving news. Several of our subscribers have inquired of us, however, why we did not announoe last wook the granting of a new trial in the Rochester case. Wo had a notice pre pared, set in type, and not until after tho papois were priuted did we discover its omission from our columns. Having more matter up than could bo gotten in last week, in selecting what should go over, the Lochester notice was by mis take set aside. It appears elsewhere without chango. Editor Magill, of the Hartwell (Ga.) Sun, in remarking on the proposed com pletion of the Blue Ridge railroad, re calls his boyhood days in Anderson. He says : Say, you old boys over there-Joo Fant, Bub McCully, Jim Layne, et al., do you not remember how we used to dig too holts and climb up and slide down tho precipitous sides of the big out of the Blue Ridge road that cuts in twain your city*?-and bow much thicker the scats of our mud-coated pants wore after such escapades'. Alas! how many of our then brown-legged comrades now Slumber 'neath the sod at variant points on this terrestrial ball! Who is it of us (among the mon of course) who does not remember the "too holts" and "mud-coated pants" of child hood? By his little dip into tho past many a pleasant recollection has boon recalled-and many au unpleasant ono, too-bow, for instance, those mud-coatod pants wore thoroughly dusted boforo wo got out of thora by tho strenuous appli cation of a shingle. V Roceut press dispatches contain this announcement: South Caroliua has boon oflicially in vited to attend a mooting which looks to a general law appertaining to divorce. Tho call bas boon issued by the state of Pennsylvania and Governor Heyward this morning received a letter from Gov eruor I'onnypacker, in which ho sets forth thu objects of the meeting and names the dolegatos. Govoruor Penny packer says that the various states some time ago,(both otlloially and through their bar associations, suggested this action. A time for tho meeting was sot, but on account of tho slowness of tho States the mooting was postponed and he uow suggests that tho meeting be hold a day or so boforo the mooting of tho American Bar Association. Lot South Carolina go slow in this mat ter. Uudor no circumstances should lhere he a change of her position Oil tho divorce question. Wo have gotton along in tho past with no possibility of di vor ie savo for tho Biblioal cause, and we nood no change. If the divorce-law States would ropeal their laws which grant di vorces on most any slight pretext the country would bo better ott morally. Marriage in South Carolina is a lifo con tract, and it is ros poe tod as such by those who assume its obligations. A divorco law, to a great extent, annuls the sanctity of the marriago rite. They Appeal to Our Sympathies. Thc bilious and dyspeptic aro constant Bufferers and appeal to our sympathies.
