The Weather, SVe cannot reiuemeinbcr when wo had such cold and rtuscasouasblc weather, so late in the season, as wo have had the past ten days. Up to Wednesday last fires and winter clothing were as necessary as in mid winter. Tuesday morning we had a cold dreary rain, and many persons wore their overcoats. What with the high winds and cold mignts tnc cotton ?s not uumg well. The Bankrupt Law. The repeal of the bankrupt law is assured by the latest action upon it in both houses of Congress. The only matter to lie decided is when it shall go into effect. The House sent it to the Senate to take effect on the 1st day of January, 1ST'.'; the Senate passed it but inserted the 1st day of September as the day when it shall take effect. In that condition it is now before the House. Death of Hon Thos- C- Perrin. With feelings of sincere sorrow we announce the death of one of South Carolina's ohlost, purest and noblest christian men, Hon. T. C. Perrin, which occurred very suddenly at his residence at Abbeville, on Tuesday morning last, after a sickness of only two hours, of palpitation of the heart, in the 73d year of his age.? Mr. Perrin was well known and highly respected all over the State. ? _ ? ?# Speights Goos to Spartanburg. Our frieiul Speights lias concluded to movi liis daily paper to Spartanburg; tlio enterprising citizens of that town having complied with the terms required by him to induce him to mako t he change. We congratulate all parties upon the move, but we believe that Spartanburg will gain tho most hy it. Speights, in a daily paper, can do more to give a town favorable notoriety and build it up than any ten men wc ever saw. He did more to build up Greenville, during the short time he was there, than all the citizens of that city ever did, and his loss will he greatly felt after he hns left. If the people of Spartanburg will stand hy Speights, ami give him t'lhstiintinl encouragement, wo will guaranty that Speights will stand hy them 'till the last horn blows, and that Spartanburg will become the most noted as well as the most flourishing town in the interior of the State.

The State P.xecutivo Com?flt(cc have recommended that the local club nlway*'nominate its president. The Convention will also determine whether County officers shall be nominated this year by convention or by primary election ; and in eitItor case will arrange the details.

On Friday last as four young Ladies were on their way, in a closo carriage, to a Pic Nio at Murphy's Mill, just as they got to the brow of the steep hill this side of lleaty's Mill, it was proposed that the Ladies should get out and walk to the bottom of the hill, as the mules were restive and there was danger that the carriage might be upset. The carriage had gotten somewhat ovoj^the brow oOtbsrfaity befosd^t^fcitlHM. with i^fa*tJ4(op the muflssTwhic h hiaatf It der for them to hold the carriage. Just at this time the "king bolt" broke and the carriage body slipped forward on to the mules. At this the animals became frighten?d-and dashed down the hill at a fearful rate. All who witnessed the occurrence held their breath horror stricken, believing that the carriage must be dashed to pieces and its occupants either killed outright or fearfully mangled. At the foot of the hill runs Tosher's branch, and as the animals dashed madly into it one of them fell forward upon his head and broke his neck ; the other fell upon him and struggled fearfully, but was soon cut loose. The falling of tl* mules saved the young Ladies' lives, for a fe# feet farther on was a hole in which the carriage must have becu upset and in that situation dragged some distance and demolished, and the fate of <i^t occupants can only be iinagn colored man. CahB^lbo too highly commended. Notwithstanding the fearful danger he was in, from the time the mules started he bravely kept hissent and held the lines with a firm hand, keeping the animals in the middle of the road, thereby preventing the carriage from turning over or being thrown into the deep ditch on either side. To his coolness^and bravery, we honestly believe, the young Ladies owe the preservation of their lives. Had he jumped off or in any other'way given the mules free rein it is more than probable that every one of the young Ladies would have been either killed or crippled for life. A Treat in Store for UnionWe learn that Cramer's talented Comedy Company will open Nicholson's fine llall, next Wednesday, night by giving one of their exing farce of "Going to the Races," will constitute the performances.

We have made enquiries of farmers from almost every township in the County the past week, concerning the condition of tlie growing wheat, and feel safe in saying that it gives promise of a good average crop. I:, some sections the rust is seen on tho blade, and the tly has attacked it slightly, but many farmers tell us they expect to gather a good crop, and it will come in earlier than usual. ? A Diabolical Outrage.?Briinson, May 12. ?A special train of fourteen cars besides engine and tender, from Augusta for Ycmassce, w?i totally wrecked at Camp Branch, sixteen miles below here, on Saturday, at 2 o'clock in the morning.

Tho force with which the obstructions wore struck by the locomotive causcil four freight cars ami the engine to be turned over to one side of the track. Mr. Anthony tiihhs, the fireman, was instantly killed by the locomotive falling on him. It is said that passing trains in this neighborhood have several times lately been shot Into by some persons concealed in the woods. A negro was'arrested on suspicion last night and sent to jail; others arc suspected and closely watched. Tho locomotive and eight box cars arc a complete wreck. The loss is estimated at $12,000. All the freight was saved.?Xews and Courier. - - Kii.i.ku in his 8i,kkp.?An outrageous murder, the effect of whiskey-drinking, occurred in Augusta on Wednesday night last. Robert Ruffin and Jerry O'llara, who were friends, were drinking, together with other young men.? O'llara became intoxicated, and was put to sleep in the back room of a grog-shop. Some one told Rutlin that O'llara had said that ho had killed Ruflin's father. Ruffin said that if he said that he would kill him. He borrowed a pistol, went to where O'llara was sleeping, and shot him twice. O'II ara was dead several hours before any general alarm was given, anil Ruffin was not arrested until the next night. Ruffin states that O* llnra not only acknowledged having killed his father, but also threatened to kill him (Ruffin.)

The idea of allowing republicans to vote upon democratic nominations is so preposterous that*no man who has not *'an axc^to grind" would think of proposing it. We all know what the \pire promise or even an oath of the average republican is worth. We sec them, at every election, make the most solemn vows to vote the democratic ticket, and go direct to the poll and deposit a full republican ticket.

If they prefer Mobley ami ignominious defeat tcritemocracy and a glorious victory, they must submit to the political disgrace which such a choidfcwill certainly bring upon them. i Fertile liuics. Nows From Cross Koys. am. rauTOR :?Perhaps a few lines from our section ^Bld not be entirely void of interest to some many readers. Although there is nothing or unusual mtcrest m or about Cross Keys. The farmers are quite busy now in their crops, which is rather in advnnceof the last few years. Cotton still seems to bo the ruling element, the acreage far exceeding that of last year. It sccnis hard for (ho farmers to realize the fact that it is more economical to raise their own supplies than to raise cotton and buy them, espicially at the low prices that they are receiving for it. Wheat is almost a failure in some places, in olhtr sections, unless some unseen disaster cones upon it, a half or perhaps two-thirds of a crop will be made. The yield, however, per acreage will fall far short of last year. I learn that tn^fly is playing havoc with it in some portions. This tly is a small insect belonging, 1 believe, to the gnnt family, and is very prolific, the cfgs, when deposited, hatching in from six t> ten days. They quit the wheat as soon as the bloomifig season is over and descend about an inch into the earth and there remain all the winter. 1 have noticed that the fly troubles tho wheat more after a inTTcl than a severe winter, also, that in countries where the winters arc mild and short it is necessary to nbandon the whett crop for several years, to get rid of them by stirvation. Polities is rather at alow ebb. It seems hard tc gel our people roused up on tho matter of politics. The idea of organizing a democratic clu) appears preposterous to a great many of our people ; sonic excusing themselves with being too busy, others that it will do no g:od as a few nre detcrtnined to run the whole affair giving them no voice nor representation in the matter ; referring us to the nets of the last Xotiinnting Convention, which, they claim, was all lone before the convention met.

[CONTINUED FROM OCR I.AST.] The Charleston iVews and Uuurier, has said that "the upper counties cannot expect to l>< regarded in the North as the centre of liberal opinions, when from ihe up-country conies the most ardent support of such measures as the usury law, and the hottest opposition to tiie payment of the debt of the State, which the detno cratic parly had solemnly bound itself to pay to the last farthing." Will the Xews and Courier, please explain what it means by liberal opinions, and if it is the advocate of the North and the exponent of i Northern interest and Northern pdicy ; and if it seeks still to accumulate Northern capital at the expense of Southern labor and Southern production? If so, then we have no word ol argument or remonstrance to utter, believing that it would be as idle and useless now as it was in the past of our history of lawless spoliation. If not so, we would ask the Ncice and Courier to compare the situation of Charleston and the State, when?before the late sectional strife ? we had a well enforced usury law, with their present condition. TheState, which is agricultural, was prosperous throughout all its limits ; ilscitizens cheerful in their employments, social and hoppj il^lWvir inloroournn, bUul wtlU the lightest taxed and wisest governed of any people on earth. Charleston was renowned for its wealth, its success, its refinement, its elegant hospitality. This was when bank interest was > per cent, and tlie legal rate of the State was 7 per cent; when the law was supreme, the press honest and above suspicion, and the liberal opinions of the Nortb were pilloried, instead of attempted to be impressed upon our community. What aro we now? wheu the standard of money has been elevated over us and it, the idol I of I lie North, has boen presented and accepted for a time us the object of worship, ami the hope of restoration and returning prosperity, to our poor and prostrnto people? It was to be the magician's wand, tlie touch of which was to make ?ur ^tutc bloom and suiilcjtll over, far excelling what it had ever been. The tn?ney lender had ull legal restraints removed, and there was no limits placed upon his interest but his own will. The segue) shows the result. The agricultural productions of the State have languished, the mechanical industries have ceased to bo employed, the merchants are almost without trade, the landholders have been forced to mortgage their estates, and many of them to itbamlon thjyr homesteads, and all the laboring classes have become poorer and poorer, year after year- from what causes ? The high rate of intcrcfl on money, and its twin monopoly, the I.ion law. How has Charleston fared with that, under , this liberal idea of unlimited price of money??The youth Carolina Hnilroad?the great cardiac artery of hwr trade au.l the vital support of her banks, her public institutions* and her industries?is at this moment on tho Verge of bankruptcy. After the close of the war the stock of this company sold at 80 cents on the dollar?it will not now sell for one cent. Their bonds are on the same downward road, it is high premiums on money that caused it.

Here, iu this section^ among the ardcut supporters of the usury law, from twenty to two hundred and forty per cent interest for money has been promised and paid.
