Tiii: uatprkuui; \Yau Vluuu.?War* and rumorn of wfirs gfe iifcrca^ng. England has on hand (lie AfgWn and Zulu wars, and another is on (lie cards with llurmab. A lull in hostilities iu (ho first liafccd struggle has given rise to a hope ai peace; hut there was a fierce battlo on tho 24th of March, near Pesliboluk, in which the "llcngnl Lancers made a brilliant cburge," and from the locality of this engagement, it is likely to be the forerunner of others. The hostilities in South Africa promise to be long and bitter, and the debate yesterday in the fiouse-of Commons shows that it bids fair to produce sorious dissection at heme. On our continent a new war is promised with Sitting Dull, who, it . is positively stated, only wails lor tho opeuiiig of spriag to begin a fresh attack. Meanwhile we arc threatened with a lesser struggle in Alaska. Iu South America war is < n the point of breaking out between Chili and Bolivia, and the movement of the Peruvian ironclads, which have been ordered to proceed at once to Iquique, one of the most southerly ports of Peru, is very eminons. It is said by advices just received that Chill lias given a point blank refusal to discuss disputed questious with the Peruvian en voy. Tiie result seems to be (but Chill will have to fight ?ngle handed both ltolivia and Peru. In this event it is thought that the Argentine Republic will seize the opportunity to strike at Chili also. Should this prove true the south western republic will be heavily overmatched. While Asia, Africa and America are thus embroiled, there are dark-lookinge'ouds gathering over Burppe. The Nihilist movement in Russia is undoubtedly spreading, if wu may trust various concurrent accounts, and to-day's news from Moscow is fur from encouraging. It is said that a hundred arrests have been made in that city in consequence of the assassination of a government spy. There are likewise reports of a violent rupture between the Czar and Ids eldest eon, it being even alleged that the Cznrcwitch has been put under arrest. Yesterday the General of the Gendarmerie at St. Petersburg, Von Drcntcleu, was fired at as he was driving in his carriago by u man on horseback who, after discharging two shots without cfTict, escaped iu a sleigh. There are disquieting rumors meanwhile from Berlin, where the Socialists ure credited with being on the eveof a critical move- [ mcnt, and the splendid condition of the French army is dwelt upon by tho Huropenn press with foreboding emphasis. The storm has either burst or threatens to burst over all four quarters of the globo ; but we congratulate ourselves that in the United States it will, in atiy case, bo limited to a very small area, and can inllict only a comparatively moderate uuiount of damngo. ? Aew York Evening I'utt. Impuovini! UitOAD HiVKU.?Newberry, S. C., March 21,?A meeting of the planters in this neighborhood ens held on the hist of March at Mount rieusant (o urge U| on our members in Congress the importance of sccuriug an appropriation from that body to open Uroad llivcr for the navigation of steamers of light draft. Mr. Wm II. Huff was called to the chair and Mr. Monroe Wicker was appointed secretary. Col. Ellison S. Keitt by invitation addressed the meeting in n clear and forcible speech, in which he demonstrated that the work was onihieutly practical at a small cost considering the immense good results that will (low to the people not only of this section hut (lie entire State. Col. Keitt at the conclusion of his speech offered the following resolutions, which were nnani- j inously adopted : Whereas, the opening of Hrond Kivcr to gteadicrs of light draft will not only greatly facilitate and cheapen the transportation of our urops of every kiud, but will open up n stupeu dous industry by making available the immense granite heds tlinl lino its hanks, and which by actual tests of specimens furnished (Jen.

London April 2.?Mr. David Mclver, one of the proprietors of tiie Cunard line, an 1 member of Parliament for licrkenhead, writes to the Timts declaring unhesitatingly that, from his pcrsouul experience as a currier he does not know of any natiou whose Irada prospects at present are so gloomy as (Ireat Britain's. Tlic depression in tho I'nited States and elsewhere does not at all approach the depression here. The British exports to the United States nre comparatively nothing, either as regards volume or value.? The British food importations are steadily in creasing, ami the balance of trails is so overwhelmingly against tireat Britain that lie sees nothing hut rttin for home industries, whether uiutuifacturing or agricultural, if the present status of things is allowed to continue. The export tr ulc from I.iverpool to the United Stnt'-s is so small that whenever the restrictions on importations of United States cattle are removed gentlemen who aro prepared to put additional steamers into the trade deliberately intend to uiako outward voyages witli water ballast ouly, without joining in the scramble for the little outward freight which other owners hnvc recently been carrying as ballast at merely nominal rales.

Monding Our Ways. The Town Council arc doing good and necessary work on the North side of .Main Street, in making a side-walk from Dr. Dcaty's corner and Mr. Grant is just the man to coke a good job of it. Wc doubt much if there is a man anywhere who knows more about such work and will do it more economically. Pay Your Town Taxes. We warn all persons liable for taxes to the town of I'liioii that the Town t'uuncil have determined not to extend the time for pacing said taxes beyond the '20th of this month. If you don't pay by thai lime, look out for the town .Marshal with an execution. Now don't blame us for neglecting to warn you of the wrath of the Town Council to come. Fooled This Year. It is the general belief that when the China Trees begin to btid nil danger of frost is passed. That belief did not hold good this year, for on Thursday last we saw a number of buds peepI ing out from the branches of those trees and on Friday morning Jack Frost nipped them badly, as he did almost every other kind of vegetation. All signs fail in dry weather." Rioe & McLuro Are receiving the largest and prettiest stock of .Spring and Summer Hoods they ever had upon their shelves, and they are dirt cheap. There is no excuse for any woman not dressing well and in taste now that Dry Goods are selling so low. Go and examine Hice Si Mclaire's stock at once, besides, it is worth a good walk to trade with sttcli pure gentlemen as Muj. McLuro and Mr. Cuuuor. . . ? Tlioriro's Comedy Troupe. Mr. F. F.

The welt is about oO , feet deep ami the time occupied in boring was , only two days.

It is the cheapest, quickest and cleanest way to dig a well that has ever 1 been practiced in this part of the country. - Not to Bad After All. We are pleased to state that the accident to to Mr. K. Sims wus not half as bad as we reported last week. Wc arc now satisfied that it will not do to believe more than half of what we hoar and only one-fourth of what we see. The dillercnce between a broken finger and a broken neck lies merely in the imagination of the one that reports the accident.

I J. 1 The Cold Snap., We cau hardly trust ourself to say what injury the sudden cold weather of Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights did to crops of all kinds in this countj. Some tell us it has dono but little injury, whllo others as confidently assert that it has killed nil the fruit, the corn that was up, and the vegetables. We think, in this instance it will be safe to divide it and say that about one-half is. killed?perhaps iu some plndbs the wvb>!e." TCftnato, Beet aud Pepper Plants, Beans, Squashes, Irish Potatoes, &c., where uncovered, were killed, and young corn badly uipped. We sum it all up in the belief that our fruit crop will be short in quantity and inferior iu quality, and our gardens will be much later than usual We are not hurt half so bad as the farmers ami gardeucrs iu the lower counties, whero all kinds of crops were in a more advanced state than ours. The reporter of the .Yrics <tn</ Courier took a wall; among the truck farms arouud Charleston and from his Fcport we gather t!?c following: Tiik Potato Choi\?Taking the crop all round above the Fork of the roads, it is estimated that lite potatoes have been iujured about 2o per ceut. The crop will be set back from ten days to two weeks, which is a matter of the greatest importance to the farmer, as his largest prulits arise from the early sales. Tub Sth a wbekkyCroi*.?Thcstrawberry plant is very hardy and gave no indication yesterday of having suffered at all from the frost. The farmers, however, say that this crop has been materially injured and will be set back fully two weeks. CrcfMiiKRs asi> Tomatoes.?These crops have been, with few exceptions, killed outright. Hkans and 1V.as.?These crops have suffered considerably and in many sections the damage is estimated as high as oO per cent. The bean crop especially is injured, as it is considered too late to replant. The peas were pretty well advanced, and in ninny sections escaped alto gellier, while in others the loss was extensive. The other crops were not materially injured, being more hardy and farther advanced. The loss to the truck farmers arouud <Tiarlcslon is estimated ut a quarter of a million dollars. The frost visited all parts of the State and did more or less damage to all kinds of vegetation. - ? - - ? Death of a Good Man. The Charlotte Observer announces the death of ltcv. J. M. Anderson, a much loved Presbytc riuii Minister anil at. one tiiue a Professor in Davidson College, N. C. lie was a native of this Stale, ami a Theological pupil of the lamented Dr. Thornwell.

He was thou in ill health and afterwards was compelled to resign his position in Davidson College in consequence. He was a zealous, earnest and consistent Christian; a gentler, more affectionate and tenderer spirit lias rarely passed from earth to heaven. A Beautiful Floral Present.

'L'he l.'hicago Tribune notes, as oneot the healthful changes that are taking place in trade, the fact that farmers now are disposed to purchase what they need for cash. It says: "The Granger organizations taught the lessm that lie who hough' for cash and ran no lulls made a large saving, and this lesson has been extensively carried into practice. Country dealers, therefore, as their cash sales increase, can in (urn pur chase stocks on shorter time and on better terms than was possible under the exclusive credit system. 1'lie greater the extent to which farmers and till others can pure-huso all thev need for cash, the greater and moro profitable to consumers, to merchants and to manufacturers will he the exchanges that take place." ?
