f < \ i Scraps antf facts. Col. T. Stobo Farrow, formerly of Spartanburg, in this State, has located at Atlanta, Gra. ?? Chief Justioe Chase will hold court successively in Richmond, Raleigh and Charleston. A Detroit woman has secured a divorce because her husband compelled her to black his boots. They still have sleighing at Bethel, Maine, and have enjoyed it continuously for the last five months and twenty days, A man died suddenlv from intemperanoe, and a Western jury found that "deceased came to hie death by drinking between drinks." Commissioner Delano decides that the forms on which telegraphic dispatches are written involve a contract ana require a revenue stamp. The Telegraph Company will contest this decision. Senator Sprague, when he speaks, keeps his hands in his pockets. Most or the radical Senators, when they talk, are trying to get their hands into the pockets of other people. A man in Minnesota has attained the climax of-impudent infidelity. He not only left his wife to elope with another, but he stole his wife's clothes for the other to wear. The National Board of underwriters at New York enjoyed a $1,300 dinner at Delmonico's on Thursday, after they had decided to put up the tariff rates and curtail commissions to agents. An Indiana man advertises his wife as having deserted him just at the time of commencing summer work, after he had been at the expense of wintering her. One patent medicine manufacturer advertises in twenty-five hundred papers in this country. It is almost needless to add that his profits are enormous. "Women hating a certain amount of property in Russia have the right to vote, though it must be exercised by proxy, a male relative or friend representing them at the election. Mr. James Robinson, an old and well-known citizen of this place, was attacked on Friday night last by a pain in the head, and in a very short time expired.?Chester Reporter. The last tie to be laid on the Central Pacific Railroad is made of California laurel, mounted with silver, and it will be accompanied by a spike of solid gold. The beauties of negro legislation were recently shown in Raleigh, N. C. The proposition was to increase the debt of the city by borrowing $50,000. The property holders, who were whites, voted against it. The negroes, who pay no taxes, voted in favor, and carried it. A Mississippi editor and justice of the peace married a couple in 1859, divorced them in 1860, married the man to another woman in 1861, married the woman to another man in 1862, and last week he married the original couple. In a printingoffice at Gosport, Indiana, is a blind compositor. His average day's work is 5,000 ems, and on several occasions he has set from 7,000 to 9.000. His letter is distributed for him, and his copy is read by his partner, his memory being so perfect that he ean retain from four to six lines. By an Act of the General Assemby of Pennsylvania, approved the 31st of March, A. D. 1869, a penalty of twenty-five dollars is imposed for the killing of any insectivorous bird; one-half of this fine to be paid to the informer. The birds that are classed under the head of insectivorous birds are robins, martins, swallows, bine biids, woodpeckers, Ac,, Ac.; in fact, all the various small Dirds generally seen in that latitude. The losses by fire in the United States during April, 1869, where the property destroyed was valuea at $20,000 and upwards, are reported to amount to $3,880,000 against $2,890,000 in April, 1868. The losses during the first three months of 1S69 respectively, are estimated as follows ^January, $3,294,000; February. $2,637,000; March, $2,892,000. The total for the first four months is $12,703,000; or $158,583 a day. A French engineer, by name Cazal, has made a little electric engine for attachment to a sewing machine. The "pile," placed in a convenient corner, or conoeaied in a foot stool, supplies the motive power; touching a button applies it, and, at an expeuse of about eighteen or twenty cents per day, the little engine saves much effort, strength, and really fatiguing labor. Of course, it may be applied to other things. Rumors of Cabinet changes are again rife. It seems that a reorganization of the personnel of the government is deemed a party necessity. It is said that many of the Radical senators and members who remain in Washington express the conviction, privately, that unless the Cabinet is reconstructed the Republican party will go to pieoes, and the next House of Representatives will have a Democratic majority. Two locomotives passed Poughkeepsie, N. Y., one day last week en route to California. They will be the first ones to go over the entire and complete length of the Union Pacific Railroad. Hudson River Railroad engineers have placed on them letters, notes and tokens of remembrance to their brother engineers who left here for the Union Pacific last winter. Eight more locomotives will leave Schenectady for California, over the same route, on tne iUtn ot may. The velocipede, as a means of locomotion, it is asserted, is practically worthless. At a recent trial on the Union Course, near New York, a mile in six minutes was the highest speed attained, and the rider could not keep up this rate of speed even for a moderate length of time. As this trial was made under unusually favorable circumstances as to smoothuess of track, it may be concluded that the velocipede on ordinary roads is an incumbrance rather than a help to the rider. The wheat crop on the James River, in Virginia, is said to be three feet high at one point, and in an advanced and flourishing condition generally. Prom other parts of the State we hear cheering accounts, and expanding our survey, we find that the reports throughout the oountry, North, South and West, are all gratifying in their promise of an abundant harvest. In short, unless some unforeseen and remarkable disaster should fall upon our farmers, we shall have the greatest yield of wheat for 1869 ever harvested in this country.?Alexander Gazette. Emigration from England to the United States, it is reported, will hereafter be systematically organized. Leading members of the English trade unions, aided by liberal capitalists and politicians, it is stated, have turned their attention to emigration as a means of relief for the operatives. The spinners and miners now on a strike will be aided to emigrate, and a committee of three or five of the leading working men are about coming to the United States to obtain information, and on their return to England will establish a bureau of emigration in London. All accounts agree, says the New York Coviimtrcial, that, notwithstanding the great severity of the winter in the West, the wheat crop never was knowu to be in a more promising condition. The great depth of the snow prevented winter killing, and its gradual removal by rains and moderate thaw saved the wheat from being heaved up out of the ground. It is quite forward, even although the season in other respects is at least three weeks later than usual; and the present prospect that?barring cut worms, weevils, stnut and other mischances which may be in the future?gamblers included?the Western wheat crop of 1809 will be a very liberal one; and with more extended facilities for marketing, the Western growers and Eastern consumers would equally profit. Divorce Brokers will find themselves somewhat disturbed in the pursuit of their avocation by the changes made in the laws of Indiana. Under the new law it is impossible for parties not living in the State to obtain "Indiana divorces" by merely paying a liberal fee to some unscrupulous lawyer. It is now required that persons filling applications fbr divorce shall have been }>ona fide residents of the State for one year preceding he tilling of the application and for ninety days bona fib- residents of the county. It furthermore makes it a felony for any person to make false representations in procuring a divorce, prescribes confinement in the penitentiary as a penalty, and applies the operation of the act to any attorney who snail lend his assistance in procuring a divorce through fraudulent means. Two fashionably dressed gentlemen, accompanied by even more stunning ladies, recently patronized one of the first restaurants in Paris for a supper, which taxed the whole resources of the establishment, regardless of expense. Supper finished, the ladies were seen to their carriage with a politeness that excelled the courtly days of Versailles. The gentlemen returned, called for the vulgar bill, and received it on perfumed satin paper and on a silver salver, held by the proprietor in a span new pair of Jouvin's best kids. Each gentleman drew from his pocket a six-chamber revolver, announced that they had made all their arrangements to die, and in that place, but found that they bad not the courage when the moment came. Therefore, as they had no money, they politely requested the proprietor to do them the favor of shooting them. Governor Soott is in Washington, t\ie:Chron- m icle of that city says. He is cn route foe Cincinnati "< and Louisville, where he will meet other gentlemen ^ of South Carolina, who visit those oities in the interest of the Blue Ridge Railroad, which is a short link of road through the Blue Ridge. Mountains, connecting Anderson, South Carolina, with Knoxville, Tennessee. When completed tnis road will to give the shortest route from the great West to the th South Atlantic seacoast, and will do much to devel- V op the commercial and agricultural resources of both South Carolina and sections of other adjacent States. This will be the nearest and best routes to the seaboard for a very large section of the West- hf ern oountiy, for the produce of which it opens an in outlet never obstructed by ice, whence there is di- ai rect and short communication with one of the most p( important of our foreign markets, either to buy or 6ell in, the West Indies." n i qt iLUl ^JWUUH^ ra YORKVILLE, S.

It is early for the appearance of this pest, and if, cl as feared, this solitary worm is the vidette of his tl army, the long-staple cotton crop of Florida is di doomed.

It has a few od ft hand for exhibibition. b COLONIZING SOUTH CAROLINA. The New York Tribune publishes a letter from CJ Chesterfield county, S. C., calling the attention of p Northern farmers to the advantages of this State j as a residence. The writer, Henry J. Fox, is a Northern man and one of a colony from New York, who have settled in Chesterfield. He represents the colouists as highly pleased with their new A home, and pays the following tribute to the law abiding character of South Carolina: rs "One word as to personal safety and social ad- ci vantage. The community in the midst of which 01 this colony has settled, treat it with kindness, and according to their knowledge and training, withdef- a| erence and respect. We are in less fear of personal violence than we should be in the quietest part of the old Empire State. We sleep with doors " unlocked and windows open." P Mr. Fox calls attention to the "South Carolina . Improvement and Trust Company," organized and y, incorporated by the Legislature, for the purpose of ft buying large plantations and dividing them into e< small farms of fifty or one hundred acres each. fe These farms are to be sold at prices just enough ft above the original cost to pay the incidental ex- g< penses of the company. He thinks there are ma- tc I ny farmers of limited means, struggling along on le small farms at. the North, who would be greatly w benefitted by removing to the South. ti There is little doubt but that he is right, and tl that the benefit would be mutual. The value of 6C real estate will certainly rise, and the status of the hi people improved, wherever the country is settled te oy enterprising una luieingeia luiungiuuu), nuctu- ai er they come from the old world or the new. Pro- \ vided, always, that they bring with them none of . those pestiferous institutions known as "moral q ideas." Our people want nothing of this sort. m Where ignorance is bliss, they prefer the reproach m of slowness and old fogyism, accompanied by good T morals, to all the improvements of a fast age, if ai these are not to be had without unsound ideas of right and wrong. p SUMNER ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. bl The Washington correspondent of the New York In Herald has had a conversation with Senator Sum- 01 ner on the subject of his recent speech upon the w Alabama claims. As a matter of course, the cor- ai respondent sent his notes to his paper, and they !!' were published as "highly significant." It may e be that there is a high significance in a man's esti- f! mate of the effects of his own prodigious eloquence; 1 but ordinary mortals will suppose that whatever ^ practical significance attaches to the speech in question arises from the opinion of others thau Mr. Sumner. uj It is refreshing, however, to notice that Mr. S. P1 is highly pleased with his own eloquenoe, though 01 he spoils the effect of his artless vanity by throwing out hints that he does not intend to demolish w the British lion entirely. He is gracious enough P( to say that he does not expect war, leaving the in- r! ference that when England has read her sins as portrayed by Mr. Sumner, she will hasten to ac- te knowledge her guilt, and, with weeping eyes, ask P1 pardon and pay whatever damages Mr. Sumner bl may choose to ask. . The choicest display of innocent egotism lies in ^ Sumner's declaration that his speech was "rather pacific in its tone." "When we recall the indigna- w tion manifested iu England at the timo the speech e* was received there, which was fully known to Sum- i: ner, this declaration rises to the sublimity of im- fj pudence. How strange that such a paoific speech should stir the bile of a people who have fully proved their anxiety for an honorable peace. Mr. Sumner takes great pride in the fact that ^ prominent Senators took the trouble to endorse all he said. Especially does he rejoice in the'endorse- ni ment of that peaceful spirit, Mr. Chandler, who ^ declares that England must hand all Canada over, as damages. ibis is very pretty,aodadmirably ^ calculated to assure champions of such ultra ner- ^ vous temperaments as Mr. Sumner. Indeed it may be doubted whether he could, remembering ai Brooks' rubber cane, have mustered courage to make such a speech, without knowing beforehand m that he would be endorsed. Another thing seems "curious" to Mr. Sumner, , and causes him to smell an enormous rut. The 1 London Times did not publish thepeaceful speech. ^ It is a "suspicious" circumstance, and Mr. S. ac- . counts for it by the supposition that the English government suppressed it, because "they were afraid to let the people read it before the papers had a chance to prejudice public sentiment against ni it." This is strange indeed. Strange that they ^ wanted to suppress a peaceful speech, while peace is all they ask, aud still strauger that they could a' keep it out of ouly one paper, if they did wish to 01 suppress it cl The truth is, Sumner has no idea of what he cl did, when he made his speech. He talks as if he T had do desire to stir up war or insult England. If w he is sincere in his assertions, he has no idea of c< what constitutes an insult, which is not unlikely, e< taking his history into consideration. If he is not vi sincere, he is a criminal of the deepest dye; for he must know the consequences which may follow, n In either case, he has acted the part of a quarrel- ti maker and by no means that of a statesman. a His estimate of what he said is, therefore, not [! to be trusted. When a man like Andrew Jackson ' explains his previous utterances, he may be be- n lieved; because we know he sees the consequences a and will stand up to what he has said, scorning to tl * ake it mean anything else. But when Sumner explains" himself, the explanation is worthless, scause we have no such assurance. < THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEPHANT. The leaders of the Radical party are beginning tire of the prize elephant which they drew in ie last Presidential election. He is, although a sry quiet animal, somewhat stubborn and hard to anage. He is always ready to use Ma influence id authority for the benefit of the party; but he is a trick of doing this in such a way that his own imediate personal adherents get all the profits, id the followers of other Radical lights get nooe. 3r this reason, thoy are finding fault with Gene1 Grant. The indications are that this petty larrel over the spoils will gradually ripen into an >en rupture. The "party" is by no means haronious, and it is not impossible that by next inter Grant will find himself in a similar position i that of Mr. Johnson, that is, with a majority in ongress against him. This trouble is not one of principle; for Grant is i sound in all the articles of their political faith i any of his now dissatisfied supporters, and as rpert in pronouncing its shibboleths. It all arises om the different standpoints from which the belgerents look upon the Presidential office. These rominent Radicals thought Grant was elected to ive offices to themselves and their friends. Grant, a the oontr&ry, differs from them so far as to link he was elected to provide for his owd family ad friends. This task he has performed in a way, le completeness of which entitles him to the ighest prahe. The end of his being has been ac* implished, and there is nothing left for him to ) but to glide down the decline of life, with the eaceful serenity of a man who has done his whole aty. Such, doubtless, is the view taken by the great ans of Dent and Grant But numerous as are le scions of these noble houses, the number of Isappointed applicants and beheaded incumbents, ho have had to stand aside for the royal family, still greater. These all regard Grant and his apointees with the affection of men who see their read and butter transferred to othor men's mouths. ; is not at all strange, then, that there is so much rumbling at the President, in the Republican inks. The bond which united these fellows to leir party?viz, the hope of office, having been roken, they are ready at any moment to desert. r they see any chance to better themselves pecuiarily by becoming Democrats, they will join thaj arty by brigades. Indeed the most probable, ope of reviving the Democratic party lies in just ich recruits. Knowing they can't get anything om Grant, their object will be to put in someody else in 1872, and as there is no other Repubcan who can hope to defeat him, the only chance ? rally the opposition will be under the Derao atic banners and a Democratic leader. Such 'cmocracy will not be worth much ; but it will be Dout as valuable as anything now going, in the tape of politics. EDITORIAL INKLING8. gricultural. The Lancaster Leilger says: The Agricnltuil meeting held here on Monday last was of in j l nr. ? L-nA<? a.t ^ustru liircrcsu tv e aic piuaacu \aj auvtt umi. iir farmers are alive to the enterprise. We unsrstand that a proposition will be made to York id' Chester oounties to hold an Agricultural Fair t Rock Hill, some time in the early part of the ill. (anting Forest Trees. An exchange says: "Within less than six jars 25,000,000 forest trees have been planted in jwa. Why could not the same number be plant1 in South Carolina, to provide for the future ;nces which are to take place of those now peaceilly rotting to the ground ?

By the me another generation comes into possession, lere will be no material for this purpose, unless ime such precaution is adopted. Most people, owever, share the Irishman's doctrinethat as posrity had done nothing for him, he would not do lything for posterity. Small Business. The Courier announces that the pictures of enerals Lee and Stonewall Jackson, which forcrly hung in the Council Chamber, have been reioved by the new city authorities of Charleston, he interesting countenances of Generals Grant id Sherman are to take their placea The object of this change, we presume, is to -atify the loyal feelings of the Pillsbury regime; it if they desired to "look upon their loves," they ight have put up the last named pictures withit removing the others. It may well be doubted hether they can ever be found in better company, id there is every reason to suppose that the origiils have no special repugnance to the great Conderate leaders. Gen. Grant, at least, seems to ljoy a visit from Gen. Lee. Why then should is camp-followers object to his portrait keeping >mpany with Lee's? eu. Lee and the Reporters. An enterprising Herald correspondent called pon General Lee, to get up a report of what took lace at his interview with President Grant. But 1 making his business known, the General begged ave to decline any interview, the object of which as to form a letter for publication. The corressndent tried again, urging the interest taken by le public in anything that concerns Gen. Lee. ut he was again refused, and was forced to connt himself with giving an account of the General's ;rsonal appearance. The poor fellow, however, anted down a friend of Gen. Lee's, from whom 2 extracted an account of the interview in queson, said to be second hand from Lee himself. rnurl as ji chicken which has scratched ud a crrub orm, he communicated to the Herald, the interring fact that Lee called upon Grant, simply to tank him for his invitation to call at the White .'ousc. That was all I utler Losing Ilis Mind. Gen. B. F. Butler recently expressed him:lf as disagreeing from Sumner's views on the relonsibility of England for the damages done by onfederate cruisers. He thinks Sumner's arguients unsound, and says the U. S. government ill make itself liable for similar damages, if the aim is good; for it has, like England, sold munions of war to belligerents. In proof he instanced le case of the Maximilian contest, during which ic United States sold arms to Mexico, and mules id wagons, for transportation, to the French. The ltn of Butler's remarks, according to the Baltilore Sun, is that "we canonize rebellion abroad id cannonade it at home." This is all very true, and affords gratifying evisnce that Butler can see as straight as anybody, hen he tries, though his eyes are a little crossed. !ut when such a man begins to tell the truth, there also reason to fear that he is out of his mind, [umbugging Hens. * A In Mnrr?

Our friends throughout the county will confer a special favor on us and the readers of the Enquirer, by informing us of any matters of general interest which may transpire in their respective neighborhoods. Furnish the facta in each case as briefly as possible, and we will put the information in a shape suitable for publication. The names of persons giving us information must accompany their communications; not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith on the part of the writer, and for our own private use. CIRCUIT COURT. We learn through Mr. J. F. Wallace, Clerk of the Court, that his honor, Judge Thomas will open Court at Yorkville on the last Monday in July, instead of the first Monday, as is usual. There will thus be a postponement of three weeks in the time of holding Court; but returns and summons will be made on the regular day. Jurors, witnesses and parties interested will keep this change in mind, and not attend until July the 26th. VEHTSIL0QUI8M, St. Maur, the Ventriloquist and Prestidigitateur, gave two exhibitions in our town last week to full audiences. His powers as a ventriloquist are wonderful, and never fail both to amuse and astonish those who are so fortunate as to hear him. St. Maur is a young man of fine manners and deportment, and won favorable opinions from our people. His entertainments are free from anything like coarseness or vulgarity, and ladies need not hesitate to patronize his soirees. REV. J. A. WOOD. This gentleman, who has been stationed here for a few months past, as pastor of the Methodist church, has, on account of ill health, asked and obtainod permission to dissolve his connection with the Yorkvillo church. His farewell sermon was preached on Monday nightlast. Mr. Wood has, during his brief stay in our midst, made many friends, and his departure will cause sincere regret Rev. Mr. Gatlin, of the York circuit, will preach here a portion of the time, until a regular appointment to fill the vacancy is made. SINGING 80H00L. Hearing the sound of distant melody the other night, we strolled out in its direction and soon found ourselves in the Court House, where Mr. Collins' singing school was engaged in the study of the divine art. The singing was excellent, and reflected great credit both on teacher and pupils. If there were any fault to be found with the performance, it might be hinted that the bass was a little weak, owing probably to the fact that the gentlemen in charge of that part did not let themselves out; for whenever Mr. Collins reinforced them, the bass was full enough. But this fault is easily pardoned, inasmuch as it arises from that excessive modesty for which the young men and boys of Yorkville are so conspicuous. "GONE GLIMMERING." Oar worthy proprietor is missing this week. He was last seen at the King's Mountain Railroad depot, with a carpet-bag in his hand, and from certain expressions which he made, it was gathered that he would probably be absent from his cheerful sanctum until Saturday. Should he turn up in the sanctum of any of our cotemporarics, we beg they will treat him politely and not, on account of his baggage, mistake him for a carpet-bagger. We can assure them he is not a candidate for any office, nor is he engaged in soliciting contributions. Still we have reason to believe that he will have much more baggage than a lone carpet-bag, when he comes back. But as it is nobody else's business how he is to accumulate so much during his absence, we refrain from displaying our wisdom by telling how it is. WTLLIAMS' PATENT CHUM. Our townsman, Edgar P. Williams, is the patentee of a new invention, in the shape of a ventilating churn, which, for the ingenuity of the design and the wonderful performance of the machine, has elicited much attention. It performs the difficult and laborious operation of making butter in from three to ten minutes, by simply turning a crank, which a child can easily manage. The merit of the invention is in the arrangement of the dash, in such a way as to admit a continuous current of atmosphere through the milk as it is stirred, which not only makes sweet, pure butter, but facilitates the churning operation. The parties interested in the patent propose to Bell rights for counties and States, and from our experience with one of the churns, we have no doubt but that they will be in great demand, as soon as put in the market. INJUBY TO COTTON. The frost of last week did more damage than was at first expected, though its effects, so far as we have heard, were confined lo cotton. A great deal of the cotton which bad come up, was killed. In some places, it was merely thinned out to o moderate stand; but in most cases, we fear, so much was killed as to require planting again. This is a serious misfortune, as seed is unusually scarce this season. Fortunately there was comparatively a small portion of the crop up, at the time of the frost, (the 3d instant), and what has since come up is looking well. There was, however, another frost on the morning of Saturday last, which may finish the business. From our exchanges we learn that the same injury has been sustained throughout the State. The frost and protracted cold weather were general, and all sections report that cotton is dying out. The Augusta Chronicle says that corn, oats and wheat have also suffered in Georgia. We see no mention made of injury to these crops in South Carolina; but it is likely that they have not entirely escaped the effects of cold weather. The First S. C. Brigade of Regolars. The survivors of this gallant brigade, consisting of the First South Carolina Artillery, First South Carolina Infantry and Lucas' Battalion, have determined to organize an association and erect a monument to their deceased comrades. A preliminary meeting of the officers was held in Charleston on the 28th ultimo, the proceedings of which are thus given by the Nacs ; "There were present at the meeting, Colonel Alfred Rhett, Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph A. Yates, Captain Julias M. Rhett, Captain Charles lnglesby, Captain Edward Lowndes, Captain William H. Peronneau, Captain J. Gadsacn King, Captain Mitchell King, Captain E. B. Calhoun, Lieutenant Henry W. Frost, Lieutenant John A, m m 1 Keith, Lieutenant John Harleston, Lieutenant John C. Minott, Lieutenant W. G. Ogier, Lieutenant E. S. Pickling, Lieutenant H. W. DeSaufr sure, Jr., Lieutenant E. C. Edgerton, Lieutenant R W? Macbeth. r.-i On motion of Lieutenant John C. Minott, Colonel Alfred Rhett was called to the chair, ana Captain Charles Ingleaby requested to act as secretary. Colonel Rhett stated that the object of the meeting was to erect a suitable monument in memory or the officers and men of the brigade, who had fallen in the late struggle for Southern independence. Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph A.-Yates suggested that a large number of the officers of the Brigade who did not reside in Charleston would, doubtless, have united cordially in the movement had they been notified of the meeting. He therefore offered the following resolution, wnich was unanimously adopted.

A society for the relief of widows and orphans of 'v.'ontederate soldiers, lias been organized in1 Edgefield county. Hon. Thurlow Weed, of New York, has presented the Baptist church at Aiken, in this State, with a handsome communion service. The Episcopal Convention of South Carolina was to meet in Charleston yesterday, (Wednesday), Bishop Davis presiding. "The new Marshal for South Carolina is Mtyor Louis Johnson, Paymaster in the United States service during the late war. Senator Sprague says he can't carry on the projected improvements at Columbia, S. C., so long as money is twenty-five per cent, there. He is to forfeit the purchase money, if his improvements are not made within a year, half of which is already gone. The installation of Pillsbury as Mayor of Charleston was conducted with perfect good order, and Mayor Clark conducted himself with the oourtesy of a gentleman. The Supreme Court adjourned at Columbia on the 8th instant, to meet at Charleston on a day not yet appointed. "The Congressional Committee, to investigate alleged election frauds in the Third District of this State, has arrived in Columbia and begun t]ie delightful task of "smelling around." A severe hail storm occurred in Fairfield last week. Considerable damage was done in Winnsboro. A brick stable and many chimneys were blown down, trees were uprooted and fences demolished. Mrs. Pettigrew King, of South Carolina, has been appointed a clerk in the Postmaster-General's office. Reconstructed South Carolina has added nearly $4,000,000 to its State debt within the last year. The Georgia papers continue to give favorabie reports of the wheat crop from all parts of the State. They also say the fruit crop was not much injured by the recent frosts. 'The hoopskirt business in Birmingham, Connnecticut, is dying out. Firms who formerly employed from fifty to nn<> hundred hands, nrinoinallv cirls. now employ only from six to fifteen. "The American Bible Society received, during March, $91,057.34. The receipts for the fiscal year to April first wore $731 ,734.73. The Pennsylvania Legislature classed a $1,500 piano for the Governor under "coal, fuel and incidental expenses." Spain receives from Cuba upwards of thirty-two millions annually in taxes. The Southern Baptist Convention met in Macon, Ga., on the 5th instant A large array of ministerial talent was present Gen. Jubal A. Early has signalized his return from exile by a fight with Mr. R. H. Glass, of Lynchburg, Va. He would not speak to Mr. Glass, upon which Mr. G. resented the insult by striking Gen. Early, and was immediately knocked down by the General. At the instigation of Sumner and others, Postmaster-General Cresswell is filling the post-offices of Georgia with negroes, in order to punish the Legislature of that State for expelling his colored brethren. In the case of Savannah, Grant refused to commission Cresswell's appointee, one Sirnms, and a lamentable snarl has arisen in consequence. The last spike of the Pacific Railroad was driven at half-past 2 o'clock to-day, Washington time. For the Yorkville Enquirer. MAY DAY AT ROCK HILL. Mr. Editor: In response to your call for local county news, I offer what may be gathered from the town of. Rock Hill, encouraged by the assurance that all matter in undue form will be shaped for the press. You will have to press the rough hewn notes into shape, as my orthography is often at fault, and the construction of loose-id thoughts is as often defective. Your paper of yesterday brought us the intelligence of the regretted removal of our amiable Post Master, who in days gone by, when our Hill was enveloped in darkness, lifted the veil for the light of intelligence by offering her services for the public good, and to whom we, among a numerous host, accord kindly consideration. The office was given1 to J. L Watson, Esquire, we believe, unsought by him; and to judge from the past, he will emulate the efforts of his predecessor for general satisfaction. We all have witnessed, in a new and trying office to him, often requiring legal astuteness, bis efforts to determine individual controversies with fairness and justice to all alike. But I started to write something about the Rock Hill Tableaux?"perhaps 'twill turn out a song, perhaps turn out a sermon." It was gotten up for benevolent purposes and was quite a success, and although occurring on the 4th inst, it was also made toe occasion ror cue coronation of the Queen of May, to which arrangement old folks did not object?had no right to, indeed 1 The queen elect was Miss Bcunie Springs, and her Maids of Honor were Miss Maria Rutland, Mies Mary Frew, Miss Sophia Bynum, and Miss F. Hinkle. These youthful devotees of pleasure displayed artistic taste in their entertainment for the public. The opening scene, at the uplifting of the curtain, was a ''pyramid of Beauty," composed of little girls arranged on elevated seats, one over the other up to the top, pointed by one, the most diminutive of the group, representing Cupid. 0 Cupid, prince of gods and men 1 It was charming! Then came the coronation. In the act of crowning there was a little contre-tevips, iu that the crown, while being adjusted on the head, lost its poise for a moment. To some it would appear an ominous incident, under the glare and flash of surrounding beauty I But to our election (being more republican than invidious) none would feel that they had lost a crown. Now Dr. Edwards' Band ; x c ij? gave US I11US1C, music upon lup ui uiuaiu. julc, ua a bowman, can make the violin talk, and is the Orpheus of the soul itself, on several instruments. The audience was supremely delighted, especially the colored portion, who occupied the rear?a position historically theirs, when considered as a race, in competition for many achievements. They mistook the occasion, under the spells of music, for a soiree de danse, and to its enchantments they responded. Movement of the feet being easy to persuade, they no doubt felt it incumbent to accompany Dr. Edwards' music, if space allowed, with suitable summersaults! If in this vigorous physical exertion, when thus warmed up, blending outward influences with an intellectual feast, there did not arise an exorbitant demand on the office of the organ of scents, we could, perhaps, more fully sympathize with the divine emotions of music! But this organ does not choose to isolate a delicious langor of the mind from the breathings of a melodious atmosphere where music pours "oil upon bruised spirits!'' Impossible! Now, after some other superb artistic exhibitions (each well worth the price of admission,) the performance opened with a play sustained by the n \ j. 1 ?, ' t young gentlemen and ladies of the town. Among them, and all of favorable note, was Charlie Cobb, whose natural action and tone of 7oice in the character be represented, combined with Ins genius FoV the grotesque and his appearance, were happily adapted to excite the risibles of the audience. Mr. Thompson did the military with eclat?on carpet manoeuvres, with an air the very ensemble of "the little corporal," and the scion of Mars. He, too, uniformly maintained the identity of character to much admiration. And among the gentlemanly derkeof the merchants -of the pkoe, -there was a representative from the house of Israel, Mr. McC., who did his part with much interest. Then the Misses G. and R., whose very intonations of voice were BeUc-WVe; their looks were that of majesty itself, while they "walked the queen." One other character in a play called Petroleum was Master Pride, to whom stage acting afforded a display for youthful genius. We think the juveniles of San Tuc should bond their little crops to see it again. Hungry Peter took the palm, though he may have wished his sister Mint embodied less of Petroleum, when he is so inflamable. At the closing of this scene, the drop curtain obeisance was assigned to Mr. L Jones, who, in a brief address to the audience, gracefully invited them to the supper room overhead, and while dwelling upon the upper festivities, his mind (re?*1? i ,??i? t. J YClUUg LU IUC VUIitCiUUa A CWCI ) UUUiUIUUOiJ tu^cu at the solitude of com bread! The oompany proper now repaired to the supper room, where there were large tubs of refrigerating lemonade, cakes tastefully iced and sweet cream, "a ieetle teched with frost." Added to these, there were other "cold comforts" on a table replete with Peter's bill of fare. Looking around over this spacious hall among the articles on hand we observed, to use the merchant'slingo, a great variety of "spring goods;" and noticed that those who dealt in staple commodities with the true Adamites, had "hearts for sale"?but none advertised as cheap 1 All these nice things were made by their own hands. It oc curred to us that before the war the query was, what was a young lady worth ? But now 'tis what is it she is not worth ? Hist for consent While reflecting on the magnetic power of Uncle Sam's currency to veer the needle's point to self, and while smoking the thought of adopting Pete's mother's method of supplying groceries, we ef,imbled on an "ile" well that did not cost us any more than did our "complimentary" at the door. .Thus dropped the curtain in the last scene of the night's pastime. The imitation of passion and emotions in the chosen characters of our amateur actors seemed to have,'in the performance of every one of them, some "touch of nature," and they received a hearty encore from a well pleased audience. Tableaux have grown into a well-ordered institution here, and of their many benefits as instruments of good, there is none more noble than that devoted to benevolent purposes. When well meant efforts like these subserve Christianity, theirs is "above all Greek, all Roman fame." J. B. CONVERSATION WITH SUMNER. The New York Herald publishes an account of a conversation between one of its correspondents onrl Mr Knmn?r fcfie imnnrtant nart of whifih is contained in the following extract The Mr. Thornton referred to is the British minister resident at Washington: Correspondent?Mr. Senator, your speech on the Alabama claims is creating considerable feeling in England, judging from the comments of the English press. Mr. Sumner?I am not altogether surprised at the way they have taken it England does not like to be told the truth. There never has been a time since the conquest when England liked to be told the truth, especially if she happened to bo in the wrong. I consider that this is the first time slie has had the truth squarely told her about the Alabama claims. Correspondent?I notice that even your friend Jno Bright does not agree with you this time. # Mr. Sumner?No; but he tells the British Cabinet in so many words that the embarrassment caused by my speech serves them right. John Bright knows very well that England is in the wrong in this matter. Correspondent?Do you think we will have a war with England, Mr. Senator, before this thing is settled? Mr. Sumner?No, air; I don't think we shall have war. I hope there is enough intelligence and good sense on both sides of the Atlantic to avoid that. Our new minister, Mr. Motley, understands this whole question thoroughly, and he knows just what to do and how to do it. Correspondent?The tone of the English press is quite belligerent, you notice. One of the papers, the Jx>ndoD Star, said to be John Blight's organ, says: "If Mr. Motley's instructions are ooucnea in a similar spirit (to your speech) his mission will be fruitless." Mr. Sumner?I am inclined to think that neither the British ministry nor the British pre38 understand our position exactly on( this question. The Alabama claims treaty, as it is called, is the firet instance since I have been chairman of the Comittee on Foreign Relations where a treaty was absolutely reported against?that is, with the recommendation that it he rejected. I have frequently nvnmmended some change or amendment in the terms of a treaty, bat I (To not remember to have reported that a treaty ought to be rejected. You know the Senate was unanimous in rejecting the Alabama treaty. Now, as regards my speeoh that was delivered, as you know, in the presence of a full Senate. I think it was rather pacific in its tone, bnt it reflects the almost unanimous opinion of the Senate, and indeed of the administration. So far as the rresident of the United States had considered the subject, he coincided with my views exactly. I happen to know this because I talked with him on the question, before my speech was delivered. When I had fiuished speaking, the leading men of the Senate took the trouble to endorse all I bad said. Such men as Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Howard said that the speech met their entire approbation. Mr. Chandler was quite enthusiastic over it. What followed? The injunction of secresy was unanimously removed ana the speech was spread before the country. It met with a rr sponse from the press and the people almost as unanimous as it had received from the Senate. What next? On that same day, after my speech was delivered and the treaty rejected, I moved to take up and consider the nomination of Mr. Motley. It was taken up out of its course, not as it stood on the calendar, and that without a dissenting voice. The "no" of Mr. McCreery was not even heard on thisquestion. Mr. Motley was unanimously oonfirmed. Now this was all done in one day, and it was all of a piece. It was all one thing?one act, as it were. The English ministry does not seem to understand this. Correspondent?According to the cable telegram, Mr. Gladstone seems to think that the treaty was rejected on political grounds alone. Mr. Sumner?Yes; he says he has assurance from reliable quarters that such was the fact. Now where could he get such assurance? Certainly not from any person in this country, whose opinion would amount to anything. He muBt have got it from Mr. Reverdy Johnson. Mr. Thornton is too well posted to have communicated any such information. Correspondent? Probably Mr. Johnson has represented to Mr. Gladstone that the treaty was rejected because the majority in the Senate was against both him and President Johnson, merely as a matter or spite or revenge. Mr. Sumner?Very likely; but such is not the fact. The very next day after the Alabama treaty was rejected, I moved in executive session to take up the British naturalization treaty, which was also negotiated by Mr. Reverdy Johnson, and it was ratified. Now if we bad been disposed to act in a spirit of revenge, we might have rejected that treaty also. Mr. Johnson, I have no doubt, feels mortified; but we cannot help that I am surprised at the British ministry, composed as it is of politicians, that it should go on negotiating this treaty with Reverdy Johnson under the circumstances. You will notice that the negotiations were all carried on after General Grant had been elected President. The treaty was signed in January. It was in that peculiar time in our system of government between the two administrations, when the acting President may be said to have nothing in the shape of a party behind him. Reverdy Johnson really did not represent anybody then, at least he did not represent the majonty of the American people. The British Ministry should have been sharp enough to have seen this, and postponed negotiations until the new administration came into power. I thought once or twice of calling Mr. Thornton's attention to this, bat upon reflection 1 did not see that I had any right to do it There is a curious circumstance connected with the rejection of the Alabama treaty, for which I am at a loss to rf- '? ? i -J account I notice that the London Tiroes?(here Mr. Sumner produced copies of the Times of April 15, 16 and 17)?does not mention the rejection of the treaty nor refer to'my speech. The Times of the 15th Contains a cable .telegram announcing the confirmation of Mr. Motley and Mr. Jay. The Alabama treaty was rejected the same "day, and yet there is no reference to it- - Correspondent?How do you aocount for that, Mr. Senator? There can be little doubtj I think, that the announcement was sent from this side by the Associated Press. Mr. Sumner?There can be but one theory abont it?the fact must hare been suppressed m England either by Reuter or by the government, most probably the. latter, through Reuter.; The British Government was apprised of it, however, a at an early period, for I understand Mr. Thornton ' sent* dispatch by cable announcing aptigiwtf Correspondent?How do you account for the English press not publishing yoor speech in connection with their comments on it? Mr. Sumner?That looks a little soapioious too. It would seem as if they were afraid to let the Deo pie read it before the papers had a chance to prejudice public sentiment against it I think, however, tney will be compelled tQ print it Correspondent.?How does Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, take the speech? Mr. Sumner?Mr. Thornton is now absent from the city. I have not seen him but once since! delivered my speech, and that was the day af.ar, when I met him at dinner. He seemed to be very calm then. He is not the kind of man to make war. ' Vl Correspondent?Mr. Senator, do you think the Alabama business can be amicably arranged ? Mr. Sumner?I hope so. When the British Government and people understand our position' better, 1 think much of the difficulty will vanish. You see, they say, "What is the use of Buch an' intense feeling on the part of the Americans about a few ships? John Bull could put his hand in one of his pockets and pay the damages in an hour." But that is not exactly the point They don't look at it as we do. They don't take into consideration the injury tbey have done us. As Richard Cobden said, they might as well have battered down aU'our ^ cities on the seaboard. The iqjuiy Great Britan ^ has inflicted on us is greater than it was in the war of 1812, much greater. We have defined our position now, and I have reason to know there will be no yielding. We ask nothing but what is feir and our people mean to have justwe at least ? ? .?
