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.
It is telle red that this matter mast ge te the
Seprems Court of the United State*. If that.
Court sustain the (|*aW*a ef the Sapresse Court
ret* this ?tato, thea tbe principle that tiara prep?
erty should he 'pall fer.?Ul has* bena admitted
ead declared ; and eesee, ef aeceuUy, tee GOT. .

WATCHES.
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.
