The Adrministration at Washington has
nade a final settlement of the diflicultice
in Panama.
Col. T. Stobo I"nrrow of Spartanburg
has been tendered a position in the
Treasury Department at Washington,
with a salary of $2,000.
England and Russia have about coio
to an agreement for pence. Dont fill
the missing places in your cotton rows
with corn or peas, ;uno cotton seed; for
cotton, will be worth all it will bring yet.
On the 28th ult. Mr. John 11. Harrell
of Georgetown, died a most horrible
death, from the effeots of hydrophobia.
He was bitten on thehand last February,
but felt no pain therefrom until two days
before his heath.
As the Georgia Central has taken
charge of the Savannah Valley Railroad,
and will soon gobble up the Grenville
and Laurens, the Cumberland (lap Road
becomes a greater necessity than ever,
and its chances for an early completion
well nigh assured.
Greenville will soon have another now
stroot in the western part of the oity, and
8 a eonsequence, several new stores and
dwellings. Getting ready for the (I. &
L. Railroad.
At Johnston's, in Edgeflold countv,
on May 1st, a severe hail and wind smtorn
passed over the Bidge necetion,
doing fearful damago to cotton and
corn. The cottona that was up was totally
destroyed by the hail. The f4rmers are
hunting seed to replant.
On the 3d instant. Mr. P. B. McKelvey,
who lives near Fork Shouls in Greenville
County, had his house nccidently des- 1
troyed by fire. Most. of the, furnituro t
was saved.
Georgia girls have been performing
some wonderful feats, and now a Georgia
cow desires to follow suit. Tn Waynes
boro the said cow, seeing a pot of peas
cooking in the yard, went. up to it, lifted
it off the fire with her horn, waited until
the pottago cooled, then quietly convert
ed the sanie to her own us.
On the first day of May there was
some violent weather in various portions
of the State. In Columbia, there was
wind, rain and hail stones ait large as a
pigeon egg.
One reason a mani was removed from
the Treasury D)epartnment at Washing.

TIhae E!ection.
From thet notien pubilished in another
column it wiill beO seen that tihe elect ioni
which w~as to have taken~ place on thte th
instantt hlas b)teen postponed to the 23d
instant. Sonme olposition to the sub
scription has sprung upm ont the ground
that the former notice was not suthictly
explicit on the stubject of interest, and the
County Conunissioners, dlesirintg to have
the matter fairly presented to all, have
with(u.rawn the former notion anid conse
quently changed the day of eltect ion.
It was the undelrsotandinmg ot thme peti
tioners that the b)ombd were nmot to draw
interest until the road should be0 comn
.pee to this point, and it is proper thr, t
the notice of the election shouldi conlfrm
to the prayer of the pectitioners. T1hiis
will no doubt be gratif*ying to those wlm
are opposed to tihe subscription, asi they
will have more time in which to get
ready for the fray. Those who are in
favor of the road have nothing to lose by
thme delay. It is just, a plain businleIs
proposition). Will it be a good invest.
ment for Pickons Township to subscribe
$10,000 tol this road, tto be paid in annual
installments rining for twenty years,
after the uompilletion of! the road to this
point? Those who think it will not be
beneficial wvill talk magaist it, and thus try
to keep this part of the county' in the
back wvoods. T1hose who can look hey
ond the preset interest of self to thme
good of their children will advocate it.

WM. Kennedy,S'eq.=General Thom
as Brandon-Miss AnnEennedy, a
Heroine of the Rovolution-Sam,
Clowney, and others.
I had published some time MincE
in the "Signal" at Louisville Miss., s
brief sketch, entitled, "Miss Ann Ken.
nedy, a Heroine of the Revolution,'
in which there were a few errors. I
now propose to re-writo it and correct
those errors and make a few addi
tional remarks.
William Kennedy, Sr., father of
Miss Ann Kennedy, was born in
Virginia where his father had set
tled on his arrival froll Ireland. On
reaching majority he emigrated to
South Carolina, where he married
Mary Ann, a sister of General Thom
as Brandon of tnini county, S. C.,
who was a soldier of the Revolution.
After the marriage of Win. Kennedy,
Sr., he settled on Brown's Creek about
three miles from Union Court House,
where ho died at an advanced age.
When the Revolutionary war began
he espoused the cause of the Colonies
and joined the rebel army as a private
soldier, and never would accept oflice
during the war, although he was re
garded as one cf the leading men of
his county during the war. lie was
in all the principal bat ties and skiir
miislsin fought. in the unortliern part
of South Carolina and in North Car
olina. lie was wounded in t le wrist
and thigh at Stallions in York couity
S. C.,---was in the battles of Ninetv
Six, Cowpens, Blackstock's, King's
Mountain, and others. lie w:s re
garded as the best shot. with at rifle
of any mltan in that section of the coun
try, and whenever the well known re
port of his rifln was hleard, it was
enerally romnarked, "thrte is atnother

the 6th of February 1802, and was
buried with military honors two miles
Northeast of Union ( ourt House.
Africa, his faithful servant, who ac
companied him through all the hard
ships, trials and privations of the
Revolutionary War, was (luring the
funeral procession, mounted on horse
back, dressed in the General's mili
tary uniform, and accompanied his
remains to its final resting place amid
the beating of druus and the firing
of guns.
Lyman C. Draper in his "King's
Mountain and its Heroes" says that
"On the retreat after the battle of
King's Mountain Col. Brandon (ii3
covered that one of the tories who
had been carrying two of the capt- 1
ured guns had dodged out of the i
ranks into a hollow sycamore tree by
the road side, and that the Colonel 1
diagged him from his hiding place 2
and Collplet cll hacked hin to pieces
with his sword." 1
Judge O'Nil in his "Annals of

Wiaters captlred i Tory who was pe- ]
culiirly onl)lxio,is to Col. 3randon. l
After the skirinish, when the prison

he, oil seeing Water's prisoner, drew
his sword and was in the act of run- i

Wateis threw himnself between them
and aillnoilnced to his superior (Col.

not abandoned, and Captain Waters
