Editor Union Times.-?The earliest history wo havo of North l'acolet is given by Dr. Ramsay, iu his history of South Carolina, whero he says that Col. Clark, of Virginia, with a Colony, about the year 1755, settled on l'acolet River? I / "" the only settlement then mado in that part of the State. This settlement was just below Kas\ terwood's Shoals, on the North side of l'acolet. That from that date to 1775 the Country increased rapidly with settlers. There were great facilities for raising stock, from the profusion of native grasses and eanes ; most all the bottom lands being cane-brakes at that time, fUrnished an unfailing supply of food for stook at all seasons. Buffaloes were so plentiful then that four or five hunters, with degs, could kill from ten to twenty in one day; that Bears were so numerous, one huntsman in the Fall season could kill two or three thousand pounds of benr meat in one day; that there appeared to be no end to the Turkeys, Deers, Wild Cats, l'antlicrs, Beavers, Otters, &c., and a supply of fish for all who might wish. t The first inhabitats being easily supplied with all the necessaries of life, esteemed the country, vnpcciaiijr mien ?i peace wuu mo Indiana, aa an asylum, free from all tho toils, cares an<l diseases incident to mau. The first Iron Works in South I Caroliua were erected by a Mr. lluffington, in the yoar 17*38. (Supposed to be at the place lately occupied by the C'hcrokeo Iron Wooks, and were destroyed by tho Tories duriug the revolutionary war, but were rcbuiltjn the year 1783, after , Tonco with the mother Country.) There is yet a sufficient quantity of Iron ore in that neighborhood to run many works for another century, ' and all the water power needed for any number p of works. i Many of our best citizens are the descendants i of those who, during the war of the revolution, made their homes in the lonesome cane brakes | on Thicketty creek and Broad river for five long, weary years, while the Scoilites or Tories were, in the asccndaaoy. During this time all the horrors of a real frati icidal war was carried on over i this country. It was to Mr. Samuel Jeffries 1 mills on Broad river, that Mai. John Nuckels 1 had gone, with his little boy, to get his corn { ground into meal, ferif hnving.4* remain all i '1 * was taken from*his bed and V " boy during tho night by a party of Tories a short distancoj from the house, and shot in the head. They then cast his body into a hole made by a blown up tree and left him there, The son and meal were sent homo, without the boy know- i ing what had become of his father. Col. Furgersou, of King Mountain fame, carnp' cd one night near ElBcthcl. on his march to the mountains, and a Party of Whigs, having their hiding place on an Island in the creek near by, i coming out at night to forage, ran up on the ^ British and came near being taken. It was at Qlandyburg that the ubiquitous Horse Shoe . Robinson and Maj. Butler of the Continental L- Army were captured by Habersham and his pariy, after a desperate encounter. Enough of this. Little news among us of North Uacolet. I believe all the good people have an abiding faith that our Hampton will never yield to any power. Our faith and confidence in him are unbounded and wo trust in him as in a Savior. Hamlet Jeffries' mills, on Abingdon's creek, '^| washed away on the night of the 23th ult?dam, Eouse'and all. Quite a loss to him and also to T the neighbors. The rain was tremendous, but J the sills of the dam were not securely bolted. The citizens of Thicketty and Qilkies creeks ,] have taken into consideration the importance to them of draining their lands laying on said creeks, and on tho 17th ult., a majority of them, after due consideration, formed themselves into a Body, Politic, nnder the drainage Laws of this State, to be known as the "Thicketty and Gilkie's Creek Draining Corporation," and are about 1 ready to go to work at this very important un- i dortaking. I It is hoped that thin company may persevere, 1 and that success may crowu its efforts, for much 1 depends ou the accomplishment of this desira- ( ble object, connected with the pence and happi- i .11 ess of a large portion oil North 1'acolet. 1 ltev. W. L. Browu preached at ElBct hel on 1st Sabbath. Text?"Ephraim is jeined to his , Idols?let hiin alone." The subjoct was well I handled and so plain that all could understand ' and apply it. ] The efficient Snperintcndunt of the Sunday reboot at that place has opened tlxe school for i the present Season with one hundred and thirteen enrolled Scholars and expects to increase 1 the number to one hundred and fifty by the 1st May. Parents, both mothers and fathers, should i join the Sabbath School and give an example to 1 w their children that they will not be ashamed to follow when they too become grown. The moral influence of a good Sabbath School is incalculable, not only on the Scholars, but has a recoiling influence for good on all the neighborhood. Parents who wish to give their children a good ohance in life should be sure aud train them up as they should go for, "as the twig is bent, the ires is inclined." L. ? ? Words Fitly Spokbn.?An exchange has the following truthful and appropriate remnrks on the unbind of nnwananai* nalrnnatra 'Publishers of newspapers, and more partic ??1 -V ularly local newspapers, hate to depend mainly i .upon their advertising columns for their support. Yet how many are there who seem not to ) .realize this fact. Instead of giving their paper liberal advertising patronage, they perhaps give it none i and if a levee or entertainment j is got up in the placo, the paper is expected to < notice it for nothing. Now if all the patronge that a paper can expect is that of the locality for whose interest it works, it would seem that every one should give it the advertising that legitimately belongs to it, ^ and not try to get it without paying for it.? ^ There is a class of people that seem to begrudge every dollar that goes to their local papers; and still borrow it and read it, und are the severest critics of its shortcomings. The publisher has to pay for labor and paper, and every notice of any kind, in the nature of an advertisement he ought to have his pay for. Ho has got to get his living out of his advertising columns and any society or individual can with just as muoh propriety beg Ave dollars of any other individual, as to expect it gratuitously ef a newspaper. W-?, wa Any man who does not tliiuk enough or his ^ county paper, and every trader who docs not believe in advertising, should move into some town where they have no paper.' Information Wantkd.?Mr Thomas J. Childs, , of Piekens, desires information, if any enn be obtained, of his son Ilenjamin, aged 18 years, who left heme on Sunday morning the 18th instant, without giving any one any information of bin in* tentions of leaving or where lie was going. Said boy is small to his age, rather black heir, blaok . eyes and sallow complexion. Any one knowing anything ooncerning the whereabouts of the said hey will greatly oblidge his distressed father by addressing him at l'iekens Court House,< L- B. C. fr i I \ . "" GtiowiKo Cit>:ET.?We commen'l the 'following from an exchange, on the cultivation "bf this dtliciou svcgetable, as now is the time to sow the seed : "The seed should first be sown in a hot bed ' or cold frame, if couvcnient, though they might now be sowiitin any rich. moist spot in the garden. As soon as the plants are two or threo inches high, trnusplant tcmpornrily to o well 3, prepared bed in the garden, where they should 8t remain until six to eight inches high, when they aro ready to be tiually transplanted in thetreuches. Dig trenches two and a half feet apart, ? twelve inches deep uud ten to twelve inches wide, fill to within three inches of the top with well rotted stable manure and top Soil from the woods or I leaf mold, well mixed together. Set outtho plant -? injthese trenches (lifting each plant with a trowel, ul no as to get all the young roots and retain the dirt around them.) twelve or fifteen inchesapart, and give them a good watering. If you find it inconvenient to tako so much pains, you may omit the first transplanting and 1 transplant in the trenches directly from the hot i bed, or you may sow in the original trenches I 01 and ihin mil I.. - ? -" ? |/iu|'ii siiiiiu. ?ui unucr 1110 latter method, especially, we would not promise a,,J great degree of success. During July and August keep the plants growing by stirring the surface between and around the plants, and by giving them thorough watering occasionally. Never allow the ground to become baked. In 2 the latter pnrt|of August or the first part of Sep- ai (ember, begin to draw the enrlli up around the plants to blanch them and continue this through Autumn. But never hoe or earth up when the ground* is wet or the plants are moistened with ? dew, and bo careful not to let tlio dirt get into the heart or the crown is apt. to rot." _ > ! Gov. Hampton Dkclinks a Formal llcct prtoM.?Washington, March '20.? ilcssrp. Norris, Alexander And some half dozen other prominent Democrats of the district waited upon General Butler in order to make arrangements for a formal reception of Governor Uampton. Doners' Butler received them very courteously, and, upon learning the object of their visit, said lie ? did not think suoh a thing would be ndvisable, as Governor Hampton desired to make his visit as quietly as possible. This evening the mntter was mentioned to Governor Hampton, and he expressed his gratification that the matter had been declined by General Butlor. j A Fiend Meets His Just Kkwauu?Ciuciu- (c nati, March 80.?Near Walton, Ky., Tuesday p night, a negro named Parker Mayo attempted an assault upon the person of a 9 year old daughter ? of William Murray, during the absence of her parents. The child was seriously injured. The next day he attempted the sumo thing on a Parmer's wife residing in the same vicinity. At about 2 o'clock this morning his body was found hanging to the limb of a tree about a mile from the town.

H The Scientific American, dated March 31, 1877, say# : "Mr. Morgan, of Columbia, S. C., lias inven- p ted a perpetual motion, which is to operate as follows : Upon the periphery of a large wheel are arranged a sciles of rubber tubes, one-half _ of which are filled with water, [or any other fluid.] As ihc wheel rotates, the tubes on one side of the wheel become filled, while those on the opposite side are emptied; a pre- ' ponderanco of weight being thus maintained on h one side of the wheel, the latter will continue to ^ rotate until something wears out, or the world I comes to an ond^"' "Mr. Richara TOior, one of the principal machinists of the place has given a certificate, setting forth his belief in the practical success of the machine, and Mr. Morgan has issued a very fluttering financial prospectus, headed: 'The Morgan Self-People Motive power. No Fire! No .Stcaiu ! No Explosions! No Engineer !? No Expense! Nature's Forces Utilized! The p I'owcr that is to Revolutionize the World !? There's Millions in it !' To aid in procuring the means to construct a working model, the inventor issues certificates ^ of one hundred dollars each, payable at par as s soon as success is insured and the money therefor realized. These certificates lie is now ready to sell for one dollar each, or one cent for each 8| lollur of their actual face figures. It is clear that Mr. Morgan is a better inventor than finan- (j Bier, or ho would never have put his shares on ^ the market at so low a figure. He evidently needs the assistance of an able person, who has ^ experience in financiering similar enterprises." 1 am much obliged to the Scientific American for this favorable notico of my invention, and now if the people will come forward anil take these one hundred dollar certificates at one dollar each, they will help me to build tho working model, and in less thau six months they will get hack their hundred dollars for each dollar invested. As to the financial management, I admit I am not deep in that, yet I think I sec my way clear, fer 1 do not agree to pay the money until 1 have made It out of the invention, and when I have il made I can afford to pay it, and ? will have all I want left. Yet, if any person of financial Ability would like to take hold and manage it, I am ready to make an atrnnngemcnt * to that eflcct. ROBT. MOROAN, (Pitiknix Building,) *l Columbia, 8.
