She does not comprehend the nature of an oath.:' A ??J^et us see." said the Judge, ''(.\iuie here, iiiy dangliti-r." : , | Assured by the kind tone and manner of the ?)udgc, the child stepped toward him and looked'up confidingly in 'his face, with k calm.' clear eye. and in a manner so artless and frank 'lhat'it Went straight to the heart. 'Did you. ever,take an uath V inquired the .! udgc. ? f. The little girl stepped hack with a look of horror, and the red blood mantled inrt blush all over her face and neck, as sho answered? \" She thought ho meant to inquire if .'ho had over blasphemed. ; < l,I do pot'tncjiu that." said the Judge who saw his mistake, "I mean were yoiti ever a wit ness bet?re : ' No, sir; 1 wa? never in court before/'whs tlir answer. lie haudud her the Bible, open.

The child took tho Bible, and turning rapid ly to thu chanter containing the flonuuatidmonts, pointed to tho injunction, '*Tl|tui idialt not hear fnl.se witness against thy neighbor." "1 learned that huforu 1 could road." ''Has any ouo talked with you about your being witnoHii'iu court here against this man if" inquired the Judge. ??Ye*, sir '," sho replied.

She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was, but. there was a directness* about it which carried conviction of its truth to every hoart. She was rigidly cross-exam ined. The counsel plied her with infinite arj&f ingenious qiiesiioiiiugs, but she varied froni.hcfl first statements in nothing. The tritth, m spoken by that little child, was sublime.

V The session of tho South Carolina Confer ence was held last wcek'io >M organ ton N<.C. To reach this place by Hail Koad, we wer?' carried by Columbia to Charlotte, and thence to Salisbury where the Western North Carolina 1 makes connection with the main line of travel east. This tour to the east is necessary, from the fact that, the road from Charlotte toHtatcs burg is not in use at present, the iron having been used in the war for military roads. The Wcsteru North Carolina road is. an important enterprise, and will soon connect the rich grain region of Ohio, with the sea-ports of tho old North State. It. is already completed to Mor gnnton. and will soon he extended to Ashville, Tennessee, thence to Morristown and oil to Ciueinnatti. This will bring the seaboard of the State in easy connect ion with the trade of the West. When this road shall he completed it will be the policy of South Carolina to ex tend the road from Sparfanburg to Ashville and thus have direct communication with the great West aiso. We shall need the hour and bacon that they have for market and Charles ton will be its natural depot. Wc hope it will not be many years before we will be building factories and extending Pail Roads, and in every way moving with renewed life in the march of improvement.
