Branch rille is growing staff ought te keen herself be foro the public If any of her citizen* will constitute himself local ?dito* for J Braoohvillo our columns will til ways be open to him. Try it yourself, friend Reed iah! Knowlton, of the Orangeburg Nkvys, ia a good old Domoora*. and, what is atruuge, he runs the heat Republican paper in the country.? Abbeville Medium, (Democrat.) Our friends of the Medium insinuate a rather fine distinction botweou Nature and Oraco. Naturally, we can't help running a good Republican paper, but we have never so fur fallen from grace as t? have any Dcinooratio leaven inside of us. If we do hold any it would take a two million horse powor micro scope to find it. The Medium com pliu.outs our braius at the expeuse of our morals. As to our being "old," brothers Hemp hill, why, Lord love yon ! we are in the very jlower of our juvoncscence. - - ? ? ?IIIIII ? - THE NE W Oil A IRMA N? We call utteution to the notice in another columu by which it will be seen that Judge Andrews has becu ap pointed ehuirman of the Republican party of this County We endorse fully the opinion expressed by Mr. KHiott as to Judge Andrews' qualifications for this importaut position. . Since the birth of the Republican party iu this State it has had no warmer friend, no sinecror mem ber and oo more "igoroua adherent than Judge T. C. Andrews. THE SENATORS HIT? Candidates for the vnoant Senatorslr.p are thick as blackberries. Among th* most prominent are Jadgc T. C. Andrews, F. R. MeKiul&y, Samuel Duncan, C. W. Caldwell J. II. Livings ton, Dr. J. A. Keller, Benjamin Byas, Harpin Higgs, Dr. O'Cain, and ethers. Wo write from memory and may have omitted the names of some who would like to appear in the list. If so, just let us know and we will rectify the uiatler l next week. Judge Andrews seems to have the inside track so far. The merchants havo been j<dly this week. You could see thorn at tho door rf every store in Towu watching, with enger eyes, the numerous bales of cotton that have been coming iu for the last .few days, and noxiously wonderiag where the owners of the snowy fleece were going to *'pull up." If a waggon passed the dowu Town stores, every body ia tlrat quarter looked miserable, while the faces of the up Towuers looked like so many happy half moons? and vice versay tf the cotton carre in from tho other end of the street. But enough came to give every oue a fair share and so, as we have said, there has been a jully lot of merchants here this week. Considering the dry nature of geome trical figures?aquarea, circles, and th* like?our friend S. R. Melliohamp, Esq., furnishes a very lively communi cation upon the question ae to what is the true shape and form of Lewisville. Our readers will remark that M-. itfelli champ docs not dispute 'the position assumed by us iu fWor of the circular shtipe of our sister municipality. We do not see how the can be two opinions upon the subjeet. Th* act declares that the town shall oxtcud oue third of a mile in eac h direction from II. Ilcnuon's store. The centre being determined, it only remains to inquire how many directions there are, the answer to which is, that from any givon point there are an many directions as thero are points In a oirole?and the number of these, as mathematicians know, is infinitesimal. AsA all the lines of direotion being of the earn* length, the result ia, nooessa ?lgr, a carrier boundary. We were satisfied from the first that the mjgakc eras ?ot saade by Mr, Melli ch am p. BON. THOMPSON II, COOKE? Judge Thompson II. Cooke is enjoying hts sumnvT vacation at Caesar's Head, in the Blue Huge Mountains. In a private letter to us, his Honor say*,:? 44You ean give your reedere no better ?drice than to risit this mountain. The air ?s perfectly salubrious, and the water is unsurpassed in this or any other country for itt> purity and mine ral properties. The thermometer, plunged into the eolq* f ring, descend* rapidly to forty two degrees. Twit i? oertaiuly cool enough." And so" it ta, may it plsast your Honor; bat, wit* our | mercury loot in the nineties, it awake oa withio na moat un-ohristiaO freitags of envy -to road of auoh cool aprioga sud delightful atmosphere elsewhere. Hers, ws arc only about a hslf degree short of the roasting point. What will come noxt, tteavso only knows, Ws regret to learn that Judge Cooks'f health is not good; but hepe that the oharmiog climate ha is now snjoying may aeon restore him to his accustomed sti^engtli and vigor. DON'T "LISTEN TO TffS MOO KINO HI lib"? A geutltunnn who has been trav elling io Virgiuia recently, in a part of the country where mint juleps and mocking birds are plentiful, says he has often heard those appreciative birds singing the following song of a mom ing: ?'Getting lata! getting late ! Get up! get up! get up! Jti lip, Ju lip, Ju lip, Jw lip! Swert, sweet, aweet, sweet, sweet! Taste, taste, taste, taste ! Get up, get up ! Ju lip, Ju lip, Ju-u-l-Ui'i-p ."' Our traveller goes ou to say that the imitation was altogether irresistable and that the mocking bird is, really, a dan gerous animal. As we reflect upon it, it does seem to us that this is aa near what the mocking bird aaya aa anything we have ever seen in print, and that he ought, oertaiuly, to be looked after. Consequently we advise the Soue of Tempirance to lay in a aupply of fowl itig piccea aud ammunition and to "go," generally, for the mocking bird. BRANCHVILLE ITEMS? That largo, unsightly ditch running alongside Main Street, in Brauchville, has been boxed and covered over with earth, adding much to the health and appearance of the town. Mr. A. Loryea, one of tho best and must enterprising merchants of Brauch villa, lias ju?t bad completed oue of the largest and best arranged store houses iu the town. , Mr. K. T. R. Smoake was the builder, aud receive* much praise for the ma ch amoxi skill displayed. The ??Palmetto State Base Ball Club of Braach ville" has ra-orgauited and has refused to disouas any subject uuconttec ted with "future victories." The crope in the vicinity of Branch villc are generally good. There was a lively row in our Streets last Monday. Peter Brown, acting as constable, endeavored to arrest lsaao Whittnorc, who demanded Peter's au thority. So warraut being forth coming, Isaac etruck out lustily for ''life, liberty and sacred honor." Mr. Mac beth came hastily and manfully to Isaac's rescue, but the constable haJ already beta re enforced and a pitched battle began, Iaaao and M; obctb representing nuc of the bolligoroLt factions and a whole array of constabUi, with tho j>osse, the other. Joe went to grass at an early date but recovered his pins and succeeded io drawing a liberal supply of claret from the nearer man. laaae got in heavily on a neighbor, but, being seized by a half dosco of the ene my atone and the same time wsa obliged to ?ucoumb, not inglorioualy, to superior numbers. A diversion in tho enjmy's flank permitted him to rally,and support, for a moment, a "r%connoisssnce in force" which was at that juncture advanced by bia trusty helpmate, but the Cannon of the Town Council wheeling into sight just then, Isaac surrendered at discra tion The Marahal of the day deposit ed him in the guard house for safe keeping, but tbs town authoritiea, upon a couneil of war being held in regard to the catu* btlli decided that they had no jurisdiction and lsaao was dismissed rejoicing. A correspondent ("M") of the Times says with reference to ths New Street, "We don't see the names of Judge T. W. Glover, M. Glover, N. A. Bull sad W. N. Scovill, on the petition. They are the gentlemen who will be apt to be the most hurt or ben tritt ep by this pro posed New Street. Let as coaault their wishes fist, sad if they ssy yes, well it is all right." Whereupon, with ?11 due respect for the four geotlomen whoee names are So unnecessarily brought forward io this matter, we have to observe that there are probably some 1496 other rcsidesls of Oraogcburg who are entitled to a moderate ?bare of consideration It* pub lio affair*, some of whom might find it inconvenient to bo always taking these gentlemen's permission to do auythiog. "M." furthcrtays that the Nswa waa mistaken in stating that Gapt. Istar was the first to suggest the opening of the l**t oew street. Our informant was an old resident of Oraugebufg whs, we supposed, knew all about it. Upon further inquiry, however, oliove we were mistaken. We cheerfully make the acknowledgment, and accord to Capt. Briggmann the praise whioh is so justly his due. The same correspondent advises the rimes to "treat ths Street matter with contempt," aud to go io heavy ou Agri culture. This is good advice, and we hope it will be followed. Our neighbor is well posted in regard to the crops, the laat of the 10,000 recipes for pickles, &.o., and manages to run a very enter taining and excellent Agricultural col - umn. But it isn't atrong in other matters, evidently. Let it follow "M'a" advice and retire from pul c life to the leaa brilliant but equally honorable I and far more comfortable sphere of "The Farm," "Tho Garden" and Household Economy." * Colombia, S.
