Diversa* of ibo Sautter Fire Engine j Company was celebrated on Thursday I last, willi parade and ex reine in the afternoon, and electiuii of officers and banquet in the evening. The parade was one of the finest dis? plays that Sue Company has ever made, and the practice highly gratifying and satisfactory. Through four hundred feet ot hore, a splendid stream was throw?, showing that the ..Eagle," from the .Main cross .streets, could comtLand a fire on two side? of either of the four central squares, immediately adjacent, embracing well nigh the whole business Front ot the. town, whilst from other public wells she could sweep the other sides of these squares, or reach far be? yond their limits in opposite directions, We congratulate our community upon the existence of so efficieut a Fire Com? pany in our midst. The result of the election for officers will be found elsewhere, from which it will be seen that Capt E C. GREEN succeeded W. H GlRARDEAU. Esq , and was returned to the Presidency ot the Company. The banquet, spicad at FURSTEN Bt'RG's Hall, was a handsome affair io all its concomitants, reflecting credit upon the Committee of arrangements, and npon Mr. K. h.

And we are ire*; to say. from what we saw and did, there was no want of appreciation on the part ot the Coin pa ny or their invit. d guests. The '.rattle" of knife and lurk was ?harp, quick and continuous, the mu>ic. mean? while, .seeming to lend inspiration and vigor to the ..action." And we dont know whether?.O'd Abe's declaration (..no bo?l) hort") could be even here applied. As far as we know, all hands reported for duty next morning, though some were a little late. The cloth removed, the regular toasts were announced by Presiden* E. C. GREEN ?nd Vie? President A. lw. SUOER and responded to as follitws : 1st - Th*.

And we want to say farther that they richly deserve it, while we call upon all proper ty holders of the town to extend a liberal hand io this direction. PACIFIC INSURANCE COMPANY.

OF RET. TBOS. R. K?'GLiSH. The personal ii tends 0f tee departed mao of God whose name appears in the caption above, have recently placed over the spot, where repose his sacred rasai na, at Mt. Zion Church, Salem, a token, io marble, of the love and esteem cherished for him while living and of their venera? tion for his memory, now that he ia dead. It consists of a hcod?on>ely wrought ?lab, the work OJ sri ih ip of the Sumter Marble Yard, semi circular at top, rising from appropriately extended j base The semi-circle presents an "open Bible," with the quotation from the inspired Book : "Thy word is troth." Theu dowu the side of the slab, imme? diately below the Bible, follows this epitaph, written by bis surviving friend and brother Presbyter, Rev. DONALD MCQUEEN : IN MEMORY OV REV THOS. REES*. ENGLISH, A. M. BOEN 4th SEPTEMBER, I8G6. DIED 11th APRIL. 1869. "As a preacher, zealous, instructive and olteo eloquent. As a Presbyter, independent in opinion and wise in counsel. As a friend, ardent and sincere. His chosen field was among feeble churches and in destitute regions. For more than a generation, his labors abounded in Harmony Presbytery, and his name and work will be long re? membered by multitudes. Here lew a reliant soldier Hes A soldier of the Cross. Tb ?pint lives above the skies, While slumbers here the dross." It affords us melancholy pleasure to participate io this act ol comm?mora tion of our departed friend ; and whilst the marble tells of his virtues and bis worth, and where sleeps his* dust, the recollection of him is written even more endurably in the hearts of those who live siter him.

Ki, 1870, f Mr Editor:-While I must admit that t e article in your last issue, under thc heading, -'Why don't the teachers get their pay," told some plain truths, in .roed homespun style; and ff hile I would not lighten one jot or tittie the burden laid upon those by whose carelessness, or worse, the teachers of this State and 0- utity have been so unfairly d*alt with, yet I cannot allow any animadversion upon the couduct of the State Superin tendent, thc Hon. J K. Jillson, to pass unnoticed. I speak for myself and brother Com missioners of the old Board, (consisting as it did of members of both political parties.) when I assert that we have al? ways found him the unwavering friend of the Teachers and of the cause of education-a clear headed business man, of ??ulular integrity and impartiality, and au ornament to the responsible post he fills. I ; would not be with his consent that a teacher would lose any part, however small, of hi* hard earnings, and if any scheme is on (bot for the melting up of the school claims, the teachers may be sure the matter is as carefully hid from Mr. Jilison as from them. Allow me, Mr. Editor, just so much of your space as will place on record my appro ral of the whole official course of the State Superintendent of Education, and my protest againstanv eeoeure beiug eaat ou him. Respectfully, J. N. CORBETT, School Commissioner. RESPONSES TO MATHEMATICAL PBOBLK.7I.

Some medical mei. insist that it is undignified to advertise a remedy, however valuable it may be. Queer reasoning ibis. It ia like saying that an article wbicb the world awefe abould be hid in a comer-that benefita and blessings may be too widely diffused-tbst tbe means of protee'ing and restoring health should be a close monopoly, and not accessible to all. The argument ia bad. It is worse than that; it is inhuman. Suppose llostettr's 8tomaeh Bitters-an absolute specific for dyspepsia, billioosneaa and nervous del ility -had never been known beyond the repertoire of tbe faculty, what would have been the eon s?? quence ? Instead of earing and invigoisting millions, the jood effects of the preparation weald have been confined to a comparative few. Thors ia tbs highest authority for saying that light should uot be hid andar a basbel; that whatever ia excellent should be placed as a eity on a hill, where nil meo ean take eoguisaaee of j it. It is upon this principle that the Bitters have been advertised in every newspaper of any prominer.ee in the western hemisphere, and that tbe spontaneous testimonial! in ?ts favor have been translated into all written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect health to-day who would be languishing oe heda of sickness if tho newspapers bad not spread the truth with regard | to this unequaled invigorant and corrective far and wide.
