IsuMtdiitely upon tho close of the tfftjoa our farms were run down to the OOry point cf abandonment aod the utterly devoid of means of borrowing was resorted to Ot temporary measure, only to got a of food aud stock, uutil a crop itured.

There can bo no thrift, nor any ac cumulation of means, do bettering one's condition from year to year while this practice prevails.

Official Paper of the Stute and or Orangel?urg County. SATURDAY, MAY 4, IH72. For President: Ulysse^ S. Grant. FIRST OF MAY. I The first day of May in Orangeburg, as previously announced by the press of the Town, was devoted to the Tourna I ' imcnt and the Ball. We con sincerely congratulate our fellow-citizens and their many visitors upon the brilliant and complete success which attended the un dertaking from the bcgion'ug to the end. The programme w;is strictly car ried out by Capt. Jeffords who, in his kind, courteous and earnest zeal pleased both the kuights and their ladies Uo- \ der his auspices the festivities were set in motion, and hie kindly hand success i'uliy directed the order of events with brilliant effect. No gentleman could have been selected for the honorable po sition of "Herald" of the day who could 'have done better. I The Knights assembled at the Old (Parade Ground at 9} o'clock, and a few miautes before ten wore formed into line by Captain Jeffords for the purpose of trying the horses with the uiusie, which they stood surprisingly well; uud also in order to drill the Knights in a few cavalry movements which had to be per formed in manoeuvring upon the field id' contest. At ten the procession moved off for the field, the column headed by Beck's [Amateur Brass Band from Charleston? Muller's Band having been engaged for May festivities in Charleston. The Kuights rode in single file, aud pre sented a very fine appe.ir.iuco in poiut, both of costume aud style. During the march to the field, quite a sharp spriukle of rain was oncountercd, which in the end wuR of great service in laying the dust without injuring tho uaitor ns of the cavaliers. Arrived upon the ground, tho column traversed tho field of their approaching coutebt, iu the presence of about 1200U (spectators, ond foruiod into lino at the lower end whuuoe they wore to ride iu the tilt. The Herald then rodo forw.tr I to tho Judges' Stand, whiul. was ab tut midway of thegrouud, and on the right ol tho Kuights as they stood formed, aud. announced their readiness to enter the lists! Tho Knights were summoucd by the Judges, and being conducted by tho Herald, wero formed in front of the stand, where the rules of tho Tournament (were read to them by Col. A. 1). Fredo 'rick. They were then marched back to the starting poiut, reformed and the contest opened at 11 o'clock. Each Knight being allowed to ride through with uncouched lauen as a trial trip. This preliminary occupied fifteen miuutes. The following is the list of Knight* given in the order in which thoy rodo, together with the timo of each uo their ?cvcml turns ^ud 'lir nouihcr r-f rings -tmmm??-,.p ^ ? ? ?ag taken, onlj those being counted which were handed totbe Judges : 8 D Daotzler, St Mattbows, Appo uuuox, C rings, time 17 J seo.

John J Salley, Kdisto Fork, White ?Slur, 4 rin^s. 101 sec. This knight had his lance jerked from him by the last riug on his third run, aud was ruled. Willie Stokes, Orungeburg, Frede rick II, 3 rings, 172 sec. H II Riggs, Charleston, Charleston, 3 riugs, 191 *eo. G L Salley, Edisto Fork, Edbto, 4 rings, 17 sec. R E Avingcr, San tee, Santee. 5 rings 17 J sec. J W Patrick. Orungeburg, Duke of Wellington, 3 riogi, 17i sec. J G Vo?e, Orai.geburg, Dorchester, 4 rings, 15} sec. D M Elkius, George's, Black Knight, 7 rings, 18} sec. James S. 11 cyward, Orangeburg, lieau fort, I ring, 18J. Each Knight rode three times being followed alter each of his rides by the Knight, next hitu in order of rank; aud so ou through, every Knight thus riding his first aud second bulb e any com panion took his so.mii 1 or last turu. There rode 25 Knights aud the time occupied iu the first rido was a fo .v miuutes over a half hour. Au interval was allowed at the completion of each ride, during which the baud gave us some very pleasant music, from thoir station which was 20 or 30 yards nearer the Knights on the Siini) aid j with the Judges stand. During tho whole of the riding no serious accident occurred. "Who Cares" was unseated by the (dipping d his sad dle. "White Star" lost his lance on the third ride at the last post. "Black Plumo" hud his horse to boll almost in variably, and did as good riding as was done od tho field. Both "Who Cares" and "Black Plume" rodo hired horses whLh they bucked for tho first timo on the day of the Tournament. Unfurtu nately for the Knights both suituals were bolters. The decision of tho Judges was that ihcro were at tho eud of the regular wiAntA ? a.??*? tV.t fhr: ?r;f ~;":~?, of 7 rings each, and two contestants for the tin cup, "is: Richard I and Char leston. The first part ol their rulings was submitted to : but the latter part so affected Mr. R'gg* who represented Charleston, that alter riding through with uncouched lance on tho third ride, so us not to tuito any rings at all, he got bimiclf and Richard 1. ruled out as contestants for tho tin cup, on the grounds that no rings was not a less number than one. We understand a vote of the Knights was hud on the ground to effect this traostor of responsibility from the luoce of the "do ring" Knights, sod that in this way was the "supreme" dcoisioo of the Judges over ridden. Tho rolease of these two Kuights from their onerous position by tho public vote of their companions iu lance brought forward as more worthy contestants for tho ??tin cup" the Knights of "Yellow Plumo" and "Beaufort." Then followed the most oxoiting por tion of the contest. The final trial of skill which was ti decide the Knights who were entitled to the prises and lo which prize they were entitled. There were fire Kuig?thoods which were covered by the fortunate seven; JfPj Greenwood, Fox Huuter, Loofc C Jue,l Berwick and Black Kuight, enclf orl whom had taken seven rings, end Yel low Plume and Beaufort each of whom bad taken one riog. Greenwood went promptly to the front and carried off three rings, ?hieb could not be beat, Black Kuight did next beet, taking off two rings, aud Ber wick carried off one. Fox Hunter and Loet Cause! were ud successful on the trial tilt. Ntsx followed the trial coutest for time between Grccuwood and Do relies ter, each having made the three regular rides iu 15; seconds. This was won by Dorchester iu 5 secools, i better thau his opponent. '1 he contest for the tin cup ocxt fol lowed, aud was carried out with us much spirit of rivalry as atleuded cither of the oi her eouieats. It was awarded to Yellow Plume ou the grouud that his one ring which Iu earned off was uot more thau the uo ruiga which rewarded the kuigh.ly efforts of Beaufort. This part of tue proceedings wherein the rational deois.ou of the gentlemen who Were our Judges I Was overturned to relieve two kuighiS ol their responsibility, was after the Touru aiueut spoken oi quite freely by very many persons. We kuow not whether the two Kuights who took uo rings thought their iudividuVl^reputatiou too slight to suppoit a tiu cup, which > bey were Willing others bhwuid take or whether they i nought their assumed characters oovered sins which they hn.dly would be guilty of iu private lite. Yehow Plume bus tho honor of possessing tlic only tiu cup iu this country f.Wo suppose) thai has scared od two Kuights iu lull costume. May there uever be another to share with him his credit aud character as a gallant Kuight of the uueouched lance. The tin eup arrangement having been decided, was followed by tho contest for the prizes of horcman-diip. The posts from which the tings had been suspeurjbd <"Woro moved and the Knights were forto/'d at the starting post und riding forward about G 1 yards were maJe to clear at a gallop a brush pile. These prizes were awarded, the first to old Palmetto and the second to Berwick. Then came the most interesting part of the programme, the presentation und reception of thj various prizes. The first price a fine saddle was awarded to Greeuwuod and presented by Capt. J. F. Itlar in earnest aud happy sty Ic. The second prize, a very handsome sdver cup was awarded to the Black Knight, aud presented by Mr J 11 Fowles. We wero pleased to see the youthful wojth of Orangeburg in th? persou of our young friend presenting this reward of success iu frieudly eu couuter m one from another county. Tho choice did credit to tho Judges,and the speech made did credit to the choice. The third prize, spurs, bridle and bit handsome and good, was uwarded to Berwick, and presented by Col A D Frederick, who seems ever to be at home iu the apt encouragement, and re ward of youthful undertaking. The fourth prize presented was that awarded to D< rehester for the fastest time recorded, viz; 75 yards in 5 se conds. It was presented by l)r Wey mar lrom Charleston, in a lew eloquent remarks, referable to tho ante d luviau stato of heraldy. It consisted fortu nately of a most recently lashiniiabio i suddlo blanket of the best style and j material, ai.d was presented to the Tournament by Messrs. Chappeau & lleffron, ol Charleston. Tho prizes f<>r horsemanship were presented Oy Capt. SauVI Dit?bl ? iu uflu ble and appropriate style. The first t<> Old Palmetto, consisting ol a heavy aud handsome silver cup, a donation to lh cause from five firms of Charleston, viz: Messrs. Mantou & Co., Quaekoo bush, Kstoll & Co., Wagner & MousCt.8, Jeffords &, Co., Steffens, Werner &. Dueker. '1 he second prize for horsemanship was awarded to Berwick, ami consisted of a very fine bridle aud bit, black, auother prescut to the Tournament fcuu Mestrs. Chnppeau & Heffron, of Char leston The last Scene upon the field was the presentation of the tin cup fco Yollow ?l*m^ C^^L^ Ishtr, who IeotsWd Bvith Ban fthandnment of his Usual setf1 that was remark ible. The c juntensoco of the Knight was one of sereue satisfaction aud resignation. The three first Knights chose their ladies from the assembled grace and beauty which' Was large and unsur passable. Miss Felicia Robinson was chosen as bis May Queeue by Greeuwoud with an ab.-eueo of. nourishment that denoted u uiiud pi eposscastid for the occasion ' The second Knight, Black Knight chose as his lady aud the first Muid of I Honor, Miss Laura Berry, of Bruuch vil.e. He also bad made up his mind previously. Tbc third K'light, Berwick, selected as his fair lady uud the second Maid of Honor, Miss Bessie (joodwyu. His conduct uu the occasion, a.so was Very, very business hke. They seemed at this part of the cere mony us if each Knight ielt his indi vidual sun to be arrived at its zenith nod rather too warm in temperature to admit o" over exertion. Their selection exhibited that fore thought and correctness of judgment, fur which Knights even in the nutede luviail tttpjs. and ever tj'oce arc no'cd. iheir judgment was approved by the crowd oi witu?i-ses with acclamation and verified in the ball room that evening where we bad a ball, which (birring the absence ol gas light und wax on the floor) would have done credit tu to any fair city, notwithstanding that it was yclept "Hale," which is in the cyc6 of some of our fair and uufair citizens looked upon as forbidden. If we bad c-illcd it a gander pulling the daucers might have been incommoded. The News. Louisville. April 31.

All the bank officer- cs caped from the building, except tho cashier, who, although under feariul threats, refused to unlock the safe. He was shot dead, aud the marauding party pillaged all the valuables outside of the sate, which they were nut able to unlock. While this was proceeding, the party outside fired their pistols in all directions, driving everybody oft" the st reet. The town seemed panic stricken, tin til the robb TS in muted their horses and dashed away. Tho citizens organi zed and started in pursuit, and. at last accounts, wero gaining rapidly on the fugitives. The amount stolen was not large, lire.it excitement, prevails.
