The rrermi! t The latest news from the President is to the Offect that ho is gradually growing worse and very little hope of his recovery is now enter tained. Blood poisoning is ovicianly admiuitted by his surgeons, but they profess io have a hope of his final recovery. 'f lhe news or his death at any moment will not l, a urprise to the country. Just as we go to press theo *cd rovi rench es us that the President died :a 10.85 o'clock blonday night. We have iot. epace to Fay more in this issue.

Ford & Saxon, success in their undertaking. From the farmers attending Court, we learn that the crop prospect in miany sections of the County, are gloomy, though all agree that if what is made could be equally diStrilb, uted, there is enough to go on next year. In some sections crops are fair, Jhouigh not, equal to last year. Corn on bottom land is general ly good, but on upland nearly a total failure with the exception, as above stated; of a few neighborhoods. The Bale of the Virginia Midland to the Richmond and Danville, or Clyde syndicate, effectually stops the extension of the road, and our Spart anburg and Laairens friends are very much disappoin ted, though nrot entirely without hope. We thin k they have been unib justly dealt with. They were induced, by fair promises, to make a subscription of' scv enty five thousand dollars in each county, to the road, which assisted very much in water ing the stock of the company, and then it was sold out and our dpartanburg and Laur ens friends left out in the cold. We hope they may push ahiead anyhow andi finish the Greenwood and Augusta Road to spart anhburg. It will be of very gr eat advantage to them: and the country 'brough which it runs, and will add wealth and population to the Stato. The Anderson temperance people have ad opted a resolution to the effect that the laws inow on our Statute books agat whiskey are sufficient if properly enforced. Th~ey pledge themselves tojassist in enforcing the laws, and condenm any further agitation of the prohi bition question at this time, if the temper ance people are satisfied with our present liquor laws, other peoplo certainly ought to be, but our experienee in this county is that no one will enforce the laws, and the Gov ernent distilleries have a monopoly of the business.. They evade the laws in various ways and have crowds of dissipated men around them nearly every Sunday. If the law is not enforced against them as well as other people, it ought to be repealed. The Farmers and their Bills. The severe drought has carried consterna tion to nearly every farmer in the County, and in some places they have held public meetings and passed resolutions looking to a readjust - mont of their guano and provision bills. They desire the guano men and merchants to deduct a portion of the amounts due them for guano and supplioc. When those bills were made there was no understanlding that in the event of a disastrous drought the merchant, should take a certain per cent. off of their bills. Th le merchant is not responsible for the drought and (lid not insure the farmer against It. Tlhe guano and supplies were furnished by the merchant in good faith, they were bioughut by the farmer in good faith, and any concert of action amongst them to force the merchu t o anake a discount will destroy the farmeinrs oredit and prove disastrous to him in, the fu ture. The proper way, we think, for thema to do is t~o go to thenmerchiants individually, make an honest statement of their condition and such arrangements as will be honorable and satisfactory to bo0th parties. The farmers, as a class, are honest and will pay thoir honost, debts when they ca~n. The merchants know this and when raisfortune comies will give ov, ery indulgence they possibly canm. Thmre has been no public meeting of the farmecrs in this County upon this subject and wve suppose there will be none, We advise our farmers to let all such meetings alone, attendj to your own business, make your own arrangements with your merchant, preserve your* credit sa oredly and you will come out all right in the tend.

The Ju'dge did nOt charge the Grand Jury, for the reason that they are now serving their third year, and ho took it for granted they wore familiar with the duties, having been organized and ohat-ged by him self in the first Instance, and by the other Judges who have held the intervening Courts from that to the present term. Solicitor Orr was promptly at his post and, is discharg iug his duties with his usual dispatch and ability. Several true bills were found by tha Grand Jury at the last session of ceurt, but none of the cases Were then tried. The Solicitor handed the following new bills to the Grand Jury, viz: The State against Irvin H. Philpot, mal, feasance in offiee and breach of trust. David F. Gilstrap, three indictments; first for grand larceny; 2d, assault and battery with intent to kill; 8d, assault and battery. The case against Wim. V. Ilolden, assault and battery with intent to kill.

Tihey aro quasi-prop)erty of the St ale, andl~ in liring thorm out regard should bo had to public more than privato interest. it does not follow that the persons who are willing to pay the highest price for convicts are best entitled to them, or that the Stato gains most when the direct return from lessees is largest. in ouri view public wor'ks should always have tile preference whore convicts are to be hlired out, .ad the railroads are the most im-. portant of public works.

Everybody has beard of the Darlk Day of 1780, which is uometinies spoken of as Black Friday. The year 1780 resembled f881 in Its wonderful physical phenormona. It was a year to drive weather propheti madf and 1' impressed Its memory indelibly upor the mind of the people. Its freaks culminated on- May 19, when the light of the sun seemed sudden, ly to fail, and all of New England, and por. Lions of New York, Pennsylvania, and Cana da wore plunged in mysterious gloom. Birds and fowls retired to their roosts; dinner was eaten by candlelight. The air seemed of a brassy color, and there was a sulphurous or sooty smell pervading it.. Very many were in the geeatest alarm, thinking that the day of judgment had come. The Connecticut Legislature was in session whea the mysteri ous darkness fell upon the face of nature and the Senate Chamber was shrou-ded in gloom, so that business could not be transacted. The general alarm spread to the lawmakers, and one of them solemnly moved that the Senate adjourn. Col. Abraham Davenport immedi ately arose and opposed the adjournment. Ilis speech, though brief, was a remarkable one and it had the effect of restoring composure of mind in the asremblaget "I am against the adjournment. Elthor the day of judgmient is at hand or it Is not. if it is not, there is no cause for adjournment. 11 it is, I wish to be found in the line of my duty. I ask that candlcs be brought." Nobody who iaw that.diy ever forgot it. The New England coasts was shrouded in darkness, whii-h turned away incoming ships. Evidently the phenomenon obsorved on Tues day wis of the samne natire as that of 178U. Such dikeiigs of thio sun's light have been witiessed in various parts of the world. In the year 626 lie who!e Roman Empire was covercd with a reddish shadow, caused by a st rango hazo in the air. . In 1783 al of Europe mo-t of North America, amid the western por tion of Asia were covered with a great dry fog of a pale blue color, which dimmied the light, o the uunti and at tines almost extin ?utished it. It lasted for several weeks, and WaS :cconmpaunied by violent, electrical storns. It, spread alarm everywhere. "It was," says one writer, ''a tine of terror, of tumult, and of universal excitemient."' In 1831 there was another great log that made tlie siun look green or blue, and tintied all tihe objects of the land .scape with slimilar lues. Sometimes these pneniomena are confined to comparatively suall areas of country. The togs of London are examples- In December 1673, London was darkened for a week so that trailic hIaI to be suspeiled on I lie Thames, street travel became almin )st impossible, and numy pJi sons lost, their lives through occi dent.

Death of General Burnsid;, PaovuDN,oE,, I.1, September 18.-Gen. A. E- Burnside died suddenly at 11 o'clock this morning at his residence in Bristol. He had been slightly unwell for two or three days, but was in the city last evening. The ime diate cause of his death was spasm of the heart- A telephionie message fromt the Gener al's house summinoined Senator Anthony and Dr. Miller, but, before the telephone connec tloon was broken the message came that the General was dead.
