At a meeting of the "Thickcty Rifles," hold this day, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : The vicissitudes of war have brought death and sorrow in our midst. At tholattj blpody bnU j. ?. tlobf Chonreetlorsville, while gallantly leading h>s Company, deployed as skirmishers, against rlio intrencliments of the enemy, Capt. C. W. Boyd, of the 16th Regiment, 8. C. V., was killed. A man of finished education, an accomplished gentleman, a gallant soldier. Capt. Boyd graduated in the Soutli^Carolina College, with tho first distinction, in 18-35, and then completed his education in one of the Universities of Germany. Returning to his home he devoted himself to the study of the Law, and had just commenced the practice, when his country called him to the field.

The following is the sensible and significant reply made by Gon. Garfield on Friday last to ^ the hypocritical jcremaid of It. It. Elliott, the spokesman of the gang of colored politicians who called 011 the President-elect at his home iu Ohio : Gen. Elliot nnd Gentleman..I (hank jou f r " your congratulations for the succesful leriiiina- el lion of the great campaign that recently closed, and especially for your kind nllus'on to me personally for the part 1 bore iu thlu campaign. II What I have done, what 1 have said concerning your race nnd the grent problem that, yourpres- cnce ou this contincut lias raised, I have said 1 as a matter of profound conviction, and hold to with all the meaning of the words employed in expressing it. What you have said in regard to B Jim situation of your people, the troubles that g they encountered, ih? vtmu from which they >< have suffered ami mill sutler, I listened to with deep attention, and I shall irive u n ??u of reflection. This is not the time nor the place . for mo to iudicate anything as to what 1 shall ' have to say and do by nnd by in an official way, 0 but this 1 may say : 1 noted as peculiarly sig- I niflcant one sentence in the remarks of tien. ? Elliot, to the effect that the majority of citizens, as he alleges, in some portions of tlie South are oppressed by the minority. If this be so, why is it so ? l ecause a trained man is two or three men in one in comparison with an untrained w man, and outside of politics nnd outside of pi.r- J ties that suggestion is full, brimful of signiticance; that the way to make the majority always w powerful over the minority is to mnkc its members as trained nnd intelligent ns the minority 81 itself. That bringsthoequnlityofcitizenship,and s< no law can confer and maintain in the long run n p thing that is not upheld with a reasonable degree ^ of culture and intelligence. Legislation ought to do nil it can. 1 have made these suggestions ^ ??wiv to .indicate that the education of your final solution or ilia base ol the cannot le altogether in the hands of the State o or JViiiloiiat Government. The G vernmcnt ( ought to do nil it properly can, but the native hungering and thirsting for knowledge that the a | Creator has planted in every clitld, must be cul- v tivaled by tho parents of these children to the B last possible degree of their ability, so that the hands of the people shall reach out and grasp in the darkness the hand of the Government ^ extended to help, nnd by that union of effort the two will bring what mere legislation alone cannot immediately bring. I 1 rejoice that you have expressed so strongly a nnd earnestly your views in regard to the neces- j. sily of your education. 1 have felt for years that that was the final solution. Those efforts 11 that nre humble and comparatively out of sight a are in the long-run tho efforts that tell.

Town- be send, has gone to work earnestly and bravely as In the Interest of education, and if the Trustees, inj Teachers and people will as earnestly and brave- wl ly cooperate with liini in his efforts to make the Sii Public Schools efficient and popular, Union will be a model County for comfortable school houses, ha progressive teachers, healthy and improving ,l' scholars. |0 We endorse fully Mr. Townsend's demand for 0v comfortable school bouses. In most instances on our school houses are a disgrace to thecomtuu- w< nities in which they are located. Cold, ,leaky, |m cheerless, nud some with "dirt floors," they are t|(l better calculated for creating disense and un- Tr dermining the constitutions of children thnn to enable them to study and progress in their edu* cntion. It is a waste of time and money to send Crt children to school in such houses, nud it is sur- an prisiug that parents will risk the health of their cc children in them. While we would like to see our County dotted with handsome school houses, we do not advocnte such an expenditure of money in the present financial condition of the people, but we do say that a proper regard for tho lives, health and educational advancement re of tho children, imperatively demand that the m school houses now in use should be made com- ill fortablc and health} ; nud we further say that the cost, in almost every case, would bo so tri- ^' 01 fling to each individual in the neighborhood of \ a Public School that the work could and should ol be done by tho people, without calling upon e] the school fund for a dollar. Just imagine J"" how any one could study after walking a mile (| or mora in the aoKl. ihrninrli tho mud and m then have to sit for hours with damp feet, in ft ^ room with ft "dirt floor" ftnd tho wind whistling through the numberless crevices in the walls.? gj No man or woman could or woitl<l perform tho c< ordinary duties of life under such circumstnnccs, and to us it looks inhuman to subject children 11 111 to such treatment nnd at tho some time expect ^ them to couceutratc their luiuds upon their c* studies. ?' We sincerely hope the people will combine ^ with the School Commissioner nnd Trustees and remove this great wrong to the children. - - - - ? Oar School FacilitiesWe think we can safely sny that the town o* Union offers as fine educational advantages as (( any town in the Stale, nnd wilii the Teachers in [ our Female Schools there can be no sound reason ti for sending our young Ladies out of the County n to "finish their educations." ? Mrs. Mnssic, the Principal of tho Female f Academy, was for years Principal of a flourish ing Female School at Spartanburg, which, under j her superior disciplincnnd high grade of tuition, n became one of tho most popular Schools in the t South and attracted to it mnny pupils from other 8 and Inrgcr Cities of this and other Stales. She " is undoubtedly an accomplished Toacher, and | with Mrs. Gibb'es in the Primary department, ? the school must be successful. 11 Mr. 1L F.
