Hot enough -t r I say Omni? Meetings are glorious thing*; glorious because of the beamy and pleasures that are to be uweo there Nor must the spiritual, benefits that accrue to many, by s visit, to Camp Meeting, be omitted to be mentioned here. Many there are wbo attend these place?, whose souls are deeply dyed in sin of the darkest hue, that sre brought to a sensible consciousness ot th ir guilt before Heaven. A new spirit, a new life is bom unto them, and they arc made to lead s better life ; a life winds - chief aim is to walk upright before God. Bot let tue return to the beaut i I til young women, that all could regale .their eyes upon on the occasion to which 1 allude. All sorts and styles of beauty and loveliness were at Boiling Springs' Camp Ground. From the darling little lass, whose eteps were us shy and coy as those of the timid fawn, to the dignified sod stately queen of a woman, decorated and made happy this coming together of joyous souls. And many hearts that hitherto slept defiantly in the breasts of the rougher sex, were swskened to a new ?ong. Alas I for some of these ! Msny there arc who never loved before th.is oc Ippfj and ' w.'io to U?y, ??olij T-^T thought! could wish that they had never experienced the passion at all; that Cupid bad not plunged h:s arrow so deeply iuto their souk. Why? Be cause Mies Cora's or Miss Minnie's heart was proof against their overtures of lovs. But let sll such resort to tho Philosophie conclusion for comfort: that a beautiful delusion is sweeter than a terrible reality. i Bui there was ouo in that beautiful array of loved women at Boiling Springs whoee soft and fascinating charms made tbtir impression upon my heart.

A bssty running to and fro from all fides is the order on Monday morning. Wagons are packed with the utmost haste; buggies and carriages are crammed with pretty girts; last long farewells are looked by the love-sick maidens and swains, who never loved before ; the good old grand mas snd pas, shake each other warmly by -the hand, while a prayer escapes their quivering lips to meet once sgain "ere their glass of life is fully sped and above all, the last, sad hour arrives lor all to Ft i t. Thus it was at Boiling Springs. Fare well 1 was whispered on all sides. And, melancholy, thought 1 your correspondent and his party had to share the fate of all. We had to lerne. We whispered farewell 1 and all that remains to us of the bright and happy Boiling Springs, are its fresh snd green memories; the thoughts that cannot die of the dear and lovely maidens that wo saw there ; happy oasis in the dull, sad garden of j life's trials; sweet recollections of an gelio faces, and flute-like voices j and a warm gratitude for the hospitalities we received. JOANNES. " Presentment of tbe Grand Jury? Fall Term, 1871. f The Grand Jury beg leave, moat spectFully, to report that the immediate disbursement of their expenses, while attending Court, falling upon their pri-j rate resources, in consequence either of inefficient legislation, or the improper execution of law on the part of public Officials, find it impracticable to devote such time to the investigation of public affairs ss tho interest of the County de mands. We have, however, done tho beat we could under the circumstances, a'id trust that the Court will bring to the attention of the proper authorities these obstacles which embarrass some of us, so that the future Juries will havo nothiug to pre vent a full and complete discharge of their duties. Our government is conducted upon a cash system so far as the collecting of | taxes are concerned, ?od we see no rea sou why the same cash system shall not prevail in regard to the payment of its duos. We hute visited iac Various Public Offices, eftd so* far tsotfr examination extended, we found the books and re cords in very good condition. W e desire, however, direct' the at notion of the CoUrt to a* transaftrorr re .Ceiitly perfected by I e New Hvnrrd of] County Comniis'iorrers, which w"c regard as extremely iiijuHicioMf. Ii is the pur ~1-..i ... . ? *"? r? ^ T it Thailens < . Andrews, Judge of Probate, tviid site is situated about a mile und a half from the Court flouse, and is said to contain twenty-ibur acres. Wit ueSMCs testily that ih'e land is row and wot, and in their opinion, unlit, for rh Ipurpose for which it was purchased. 1 he Commissioners gave tor it as the titles "how, eight hundred dollars, being $33.33 per acre. .Judge Andrews gave [for the tracts from which this site was' [cut ?13.12} for one, aud about 12.33 for the other. The Jury are further informed that more suitable sites can be bought near Iths Town from ten to twenty dollars per '.acre. J The County Commissioners in justifi cation of their course, that they paid for the laud in County Orders, and that a certain tract lying adjacent, owned by Col. A. D. Frederick cannot be bought for less than 850 per acre. Witnesses, however, testify that Col. Frederick's tract here referred to is very valuable, and bears no comparison with the trsot bought. And so far as paying in County OrdW is concerned, the Jury are unable to perceive that the people will be re quired to pay scything lees than the ?800, for when these ordors aro present . .?i-~-^7-~ tu to ino treasurer, we do not know of bis having spy authority to cash them for uaythiag less than their face. ' . Wa recommend to the Court to take inecessary proceedings at once to stop Uhis transaction as the orders hare not yet been, cashed. . The Grand Jury, in order to protect certain evils desire Co Submit to the con sideration of our legislators the proprie ty of the passsge Acts to the following effect :| . 1st. That County Commlwioners be made bonded ? Officers, and that all con nected with the Office receivo certain Salaries, and nothing extra. 2d. That no Couoty Officer be per mitted directly or indirectly to take part in Couoty Contracts 3d. That no Couoty Officer be al lowed to buy County Orders or speculate in them in any .vay whatsoever. We aie aware that at the last Session of the Legislature this matter was reme died so far as Couuty Commissioners were' concerned j but wo think it best that the Act be extended to include all County Offieors. 4th. That tho Approvers of Public Bonds, be appointed among citizens who are not office bolders. It i? the opinion of the Grand Jury that the appropriation for Sohool Pur poses io this Couuty has not been judi ciously cxpendod up to this lime. Teach ers have been palmed off upon the col ored people especially, who aro totally ?incompetent, and they have thus bcon deprived of the instruction which they so much need. We believe tb%t the education of tho young is our countries' only hope, and ou this account we de sire its advantages extcended freely to all classes, aud that nothing be permitted to check its progross- We are glad to ?state that the Board of Kxumincrs have adopted measures, whics we think will secure be.tcr teacher* but he future. out of their money wb regard as cruel in the extreme, and whol'y inexcusable. Wc now come to mutters of a differ ent character which have recently agi tated the public mind, and of which as Jurors, we fee) it our province to take cognizance. It is said that a party of disguised men recently passed through our community, and posted notices in different parts, warning cortain classes to desist from what they regarded an evil euroer. Who these individuals arc we are unable to ascertain. It is true that they committed no outrages, and molest ed no ouo, but wc regard this as no pal liation of their offence. If their aim was, as they indicate, to eorreot the abuses of the government the plan they pursue is inexcusable. There is no safety to a country and no guaran tee agaiust civil commotion, if men are permitted to take law into their own hands. . No matter how corrupt snd oppressive a government may be, es a Christian people we cannot ignore the Scriptural .doctrine "to be subject to the powers that be." *"*' Bot while we most unhesitatingly con demn these acts of lawlessness aud dis order, we would respectfully invite those in power, who feel an interest in- th ? ? public welfare, carcfoily to survey the Geld, and remove all possible oiisso ot unlawful proceedings* by proper ley isla There are many evils ursJer which we are now groaning which could be easily corrected, if our legislators were not carried uwuy by a falso id?a of freedom. . It is indeed lamentable that is so glar iog and so intolerable from the fact that it bears heaviest open' the honest laborer, the bone und sinew of the country, that we cannot fail to briug it to the notice of the court. **" It is the illicit traffic, in cotton. We do not censure tho man who sells the goods as much us thoee who buy, from the fact that the former are mostly igno rant, and the latter generally t.uvc had better advantages, and aaro expected to do better. We desire to infringe upon the liberties of no man, however humble he may be, All we wish is that the gra? i objec of government, which is the happiness of the governed, should be carried out. To this end we desire to make mother recommendation to our legislators, which we trust they will consider carefully. It is to urge the adoption of an Act by the ncjtfc Legislature requiring each Store keeper to keep a Register, which shah ha opea at all times to public inspection. Said Register simply recording tho name of cvory person' selling prodnco of any kind, the quantity and kind of produce told, and the date of nie. And further that if it be proven that any Storekeep er has neglected to Register any name, he should be fined ? certain penal toss. Suoh an enactment we look upon as mild, jot stringent, and while it may curtail the freedom of the dishonest, it can have no such tondenoy with the up Another eMn our County which we must bring to the attention of our legis lators is the tardiness in which tho just debts of the government are paid. This wo regard as vor^injurious snd inexcu sable. Thcro being uo other matters suggest ed to our attention, we desire to say in conclusion, that although most of the business wo have boon engaged in during the two terms of Court has boon of a distateful nature, we have waded through it all, impelled alone by a sense of duty, nnd all the favors we ask of the public, is that if wo have erred, our errors should be attributed where wo think they properly belong, to the head and not tho heart. Finally we think it proper to say that our rote upon this 1'resentincut has been unanimous. S. R. MELLICH AMP, Foreman. _t SHAKES. Everybody in Hnd around Norway Flat was acquainted with Shakes. Shakes was every ono's favorite, nud every one's laughing-stock. What his real name was, no one''on the Fht, ex cepting the Postmaster, knew or seemed at all anxious to ascertain. In outward appearance, be was a specimen of debas d humanity. Debauchery wrs indeli bly stamped upon every feature It was deemed a rare sight to see him with a . ?/ ? 'iis*W that clung to his long matted locks and untrimaied beard. A coarse blue wool en overshirt, with tattered sleeves, cov ered his back, from- bonce many doubted whether it had b.'en removed since the day he first put it on, io Grif fin's store, twelvo months ago-. His duek pants had completely lost their original whiteness, and were tucked into a well worn, much-patched pair of gum-boots Tho veritable felt hat. worn by him in '52, still maintained its usual position on the sido of his head. The only change it had apparantly undergone since then was that a piece of and rubber cost now sonstituted tbo crown. Shake's history, outside of the pre cincts of Norway Flat, wag wrapped in complete mystery. Even tho time of his arrival in tbo camp was unknown. Brown, the propriety of the "Occiden tal" Norway Flat's principal hotel, drinking and dancing-saloon?and also oue of the pioneers of the piece, asserted, "Shakes pumoied around here when I fust 'rived, >u '52." It was generally be lieved that be hailed from the temper ance State was no the contra able repu "whiskey k ftowti hi Flat "out t \\*tt eon r.t- ?l his s ly srrccum A lo'nol side. Sh to be its o crossed its some ono drinking a bench or Althoug intoxicating liquor, m no its venders on Norway Fl it were much the richer for having Shukes as iheir customer. It was seldom fthut a coin passed from bis hands to the barkeeper's drawer; but drink be must have, and somehow or other he always muniged to obtain it. 1 'hts manner in which it was obtained was but a secondary consideration to bim?. Nothing was too humiliating or too* degrading for him to do for it. When beggiug failed, strategy was ini mediately resorted- to, and va this he was invariably successful. Ho would enter the saloon, go up to the bar with thumb and forefinger inserted io his pocket, and a'.drt-h.-r the bar-keeper thus : 4,I say, bar-keeper, hurry np; give me a 'brandy straight.' " 5ho bar-kcoper would first^ cast a glance at the position of the Hund, and would uueouecroedly drink. "Here's luck," and retire from the counter with out paying. "Ho, Shakes I" "Come aud see me." "No, thankee; don't feel like il now) jest had un." And the bar-keeper learned that he was duped ouco mere, but dared not at tempt to punish his deceiver. The in dignation of the entire camp would most assuredly fall upon the individual who dared to abuse Shakes. He was Nor waj Flat's "privileged character." "Likes his whiakey, I know; but he's a harmless, good-natured old devil for all that," was tho sentiment universally expressed by tho members of that little mining community. Inebriate as he wss, Shakes was not indolent. He was always, in sunshine or rain, engaged in chapping cord-wood, or in riving shakes?long shingles} fron which latter occupation he received bis nicksamc. The sun rose on Shakes entering the woods; it sei upon him making a "bee line" for the "Pony Sa loon." Fire-wood wos worth ?C a cord, and shakes $16 a thousand, in those days, on Norway Flat Shakes always chopped from two to three cords per dsy. Three dollars a cord hs paid "Billy the boatman," for hauling it, whioh, of course, considerably diminished his earnings; still, there was a good margin left. How it came to pass that he should always be poor, could never be satisfactorily explained. His condition of being, what ho termed "flat broke," was patent to all, and was considered of the mysteries of his peculiar life no one cared to solve, aud accepted unquos tioucd. Norway Fat, sinco the time of its dis covery in '52, bad continued to be a prosperous mining camp. The fabulous yield of many of its claims had been re ported in the columns of the leading crcus (Jppottunitics had been offered Shakes to become the possessor of ground of a promising character, subsequently proving rich. Mining, however, pos sessed no attraetiocs for biro. There existed oo affinity between his nature and the excitement of the average gold miner's life*. He never owned a foot of mining ground, "and didn't intend to," he was accustomed to say; "I go fur the sure thing." E*ven when the Wake-up Jake Company struck a two-ounces-to the-pan prospect, Shakes declined stak ing off the adjoining ground, then va cant, and upon which he was at the time chopping wood. The same piece of ground aftcrwarn proved the richest spot on the whole Flat, nearly 1,200 ounces being obtained from it as the proceeds of one day's washing. This lack of enterprise?this disinclination te ven ture?was supposed to be the morbid offspring of his dissipated career. The only things for which he appeared to hare any care were his axe, cross-cut saw, nnd frower. These constituted bis entire stock in trade, and for them he ething bordering upon ef ras viewed as onV of Norway ires. It had boon settled long minds of its iuhabidnta that rottld decay in the little cecuc krrelr overlooking the Flat, ?f his removing was nover for sutci taiiied hy any one ra that immunity. Shake:? and Nor id grown up with one enoth |ry Flat was Shakes'i home. id a home elsewhere, he >cen heard to speak of it. Ler of '59 had set in. It was I middle of November. The covered with several inches "he tinkling of sleigh-bells waa heard in the distance, and the little town ou tho Flat was instantly thrown into a commotion. It was all cccai.ion od by tho arrival of "Barnard's Monthly Express.' Tho arrival of the express was an important event in the otherwise monotonous routino of every-day life at the Norway Flat; for bo it remembered that the era of wagon roads and railways had not then bcon iuauguatod, sad com munication between that motmtain re treat and civilisation was at best infre quent and uncertain. Among the anx ious faces awaiti?g tho opeuiog of the little wicket of the Post-Oraco and the distribution of letters appeared that of Shakos: Shortly afterward he waa ob served intently perusing a' letter. "Datu'd 'f I dou't make tracts fur bum," ho suddenly cxolaimed, sod as suddenly bado furcwoll to Norway Flat nnd ita fiurrouudiugs. That evening Shake* we* fleet! frcsa hb usual haunts, aud it soon beeaate generally known that he had . lift t*# Flat. This Wtf on unpfuceaWated episode la Norway Flat's history. Noih log had ever occurred hefore to disturb Ha eniform equanimity, excepting ihm shooting of Red AHck by Sossls? *Bf in a moment <tf ftutMed1 c*trtemsnt, pr? dueedle the heat cf = ilscsaioa t? to* the merits of the parties threw in the Crimean War. His was the universal topic of touisraasjoa around every fireside aud in every aar room in the camp. The speeuletiomt us to the cause were aa varied as taw/ improbable. The thermometer at Brown's evening, indicated 15? below aero; hot no fears were harbored in the mind ag any one aa to (he safety cf the csa *5&?? had so drfcerfcttfoniously hit tiki asp "homeward bound." Weeks pwssed on, sod nothing Iii been seen or heard cf Shakes sines hat departure. Norway 8a had almost fket> goitecf him. Urovo, the landlord a# the "Occidental,"' was standing la tH* doorway, gating abstractedly at the Sew* tant windings of the "down tu ?setts* trail. It was only the previous daw that a prospective party had passed a&sag m from the Flat, dounb for the oViaurtowl mining camp of Diggers Delight, skwa> ted about ten miles distant. Hit thoughts naturally recurred to thefr sV partuie and prospects. Suddenly, hit quick Cye detected in the distance a group of men skrwly trudging toward the Flat, and was somewhat astonished to recognize in them the prospsstoet at* Diggers' Delight returning, bearing with; them a heavy burden. The ttows accSj spread that Shakes had been foutf* slant at Diggers' DeHght.
