The Ki eb mond Banking and Insurance Com? pany, through the Agent, Mr. A. WHITE, at Sumter, recently paid to Mr. JOSEPH GALLCCHAT, Jr., the sum of $-100, amount of loss from the barning of a. email dwelling at ?fanning. The Spring Opens beautifully. It has been, ss far, one of the mildest of many years. On many farms in this region corn is up and growing ?nely. Gardens are progressing with promise, and should lhere be no ki:fieg frosts or icy winds in storo for os, lhere will be sn abundance of fruit. Msy heaven grant tu a. rieb harrest this year to gladden the beans and re rive the spirits of our oppressed and despondent people. A* A* Setoaaotsa. In a well written and handsomely displayed advertisement, our friend, A. A. SOL WOKS, tells our readers the trite but nevertheless important truth, that "money saved is money made," and that bis Store is the plaee where this deeideratum may find its consummation. He knows of that of which he speaks, and derives bis knowledge from well matured experience, and we advise our feeders to profit by it. Joseph Gallucbat, *?***> The card in our columns to-day will inform onr readers, and we take pleasure in noticing the fact, that JOSEPH GALLCCHM", Esq., bas become a citisen of Sumter, and will in future engage in the practice of the law from bis office at this place. We welcome bim to our midst, in tbe bope that tbe chung* from Manning to Sumter may prove both pleasant and profitable to bim. An Editorial ''Dream"-?iood for High ! Some unfortunate wight of tbe quill editorial, rumi neting, probably, over bis pinching necessi? ties and his long list of delinquent subscribers, falls asleep and dreams a dream, and bereit is. We had a dream tbe other night, When .?verything was still ; We dreamed that each subscriber Came up and paid his bill ; Each wore a look of honesty. And smiles were round each eye, At they handed over the stamps They yelled, "How's that for high? Sc coud Quarterly Me ed nz. Religious services in rocnexion with the Se? cond Quarterly Conference of Sumter Station, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will com menee tbis (Wcduesday) evening, and be con tinued during the remainder of the week. The Presiding Elder, Rev. W. H. Fi.ei IMO. will be in attendance, sod, in connexion w tb the pastor of the Church, Rev. II A. C. WALKER, will conduct tho meeting. We trust much good may result from tbi? meeting-to our cliiistian com? munity at large, as well as to the particular branch of the church directly inter? ited. Fire. Just at the hour for the commencement of publie worship in oar Churches, on Sunday even? ing last, the cry of fire sounded through our streets with s ts riling impetuosity. The congre? gations which bad assembled were summarily dismissed, and the people posred into the streets. The fire was soon discovered to be in a stable on the rear of premises owned by Mr. J OLIOS SCHWEII;*. The building was an old wooden one of some site, which was rapidly consumed. Through the ellbrts of our firemen and eititens it d'rd not spread furl her, A mich ap to the **Ecgle," by which her "Suction" was damaged, rendered ber inefficient for the eveuieg. Th* "Wide Awake," colored Company, did good ser Tic*-th* laen working with a will-which we are pleaded to record. A ncr Suction for tbe "Eagle," we learn, is now ea route for Sumter. Extra Coan. The extra term of tb* Court, on tbe civil side, Tor Sumter, began its sittings on Monday last, Judge JOH? T. GREEK presiding. Under bis dispatch of business, the eld nasty docket is being cleared of its ace emulated rubbish. From tbis rubbish, too, under a recent decis? ion of the Supreme Court of this State, declar? ing their legality, was resurrected a pile of negro bonds-or obligations given fer tb* purchase of negro property. The announcement that judg? ment in these cases should be entered up, with? but argument or plea, came like a thunder clap. Tb* publie taind bad generally settled down under the impression that this class of old debts was dead ; and especially was it belie red that no aetion or decision contrary thereto would come from the cxislingjodieial authorities in this State, representing, as they do, a party, whose soul and life has Seen derived from the obliteration and otter annihilation of every remaining vestige of slavery, either in its principles or practices, or tangible form. . Jf* cannot but deprecate this addition to the terrible load of financial difficulty ender which tb* people now groan. Eaten op with taxes, pressed ?nd behind with obligations for eg; teal? taral an i domestic) ?applies, distress end min staring tbe country in the face, it wat to have been bo<ped, that, at tba? ti?evat least, wa would bare been spared this. We do not believe that the plaintif parties to f be? debts wish tc stir up ead and increase the distress af tia country at this tissa ; and, ia onr opinion, these debts cannot or should not be made valid until suth time (if that time ever corns) wheo the Government of j tb* United Statet shill determine apea some 1 compensation for th* whole tl*ve property of the eountry destroyed, or obliterated ia th* reknit* of tba war.

The extensive use of these watches for the laat fifteen yeera by Railway Conductors, Engineers and Expressmen, the most exacting of watc i wearere, bu thoroughly demonstrated toe strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in alf these respects, ls to decide the question as to Un? real value of these time-keepers. More than 500,000 of these watches are how speaking for themselves in the pockets of the people-a proof atid a guarantee of their superi? ority over all others. The superior organization and great extent of the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them to produce watches at a price which renders competition futile, and 'hose who buy any other Watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent more for their watches than is uccessaay. These time-pieces combine every improvement that a ; : . nee has proved of real prac? tical use. Having had tLe refusal of nearly every invention in watch making originated in this country or in Europe, only those were finr.lly adopted which severe testing by the most s til full artisans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and enduring time-kceplng. Among the many improvements we would tar ticularizo: The invention and use of a centro piniot: of peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main-springs, ls original with the American Watch Company, who,having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and fault? less. Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watch? es. All Waltham Watches hare dust proof caps, protecting the movement from dust, and leaser ing tte necessary of the frequent cleaning necei: ary in other Watches. Our new patent stem winder, or keyless w.-,tch is already a decided success, and a great im? provement on any stem winding watch in the American market, and by far thc cheapest watch of ita quality now offered to the publie. To those living in portions of tho United States where watchmahcts do not abound, watches with the above mentioned improvemanta which tend to ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and con sentence, must prove invaluable.
