SALE DAY. Monday wtis pronounced by all to be tho dullest sale d?y since the war. Few persons from the country were in attendance, and those few seemed anxious to get home. The recent rains caused the gross'tq.growloxuriant, and the farmers are dili? gentia their efforts'-to- conquer. May they be successful, though their absence from public occa? sions increases the general-dullness of the times. -^- <&. .-? "TWO HEADS BETTES- THAN ONE.''' Our clever^ neighborly friend, Milton H.

Mr. D: is a quiet, good citizen, and withal appreciates the luxuries of "garden truck and sich, like," even to the extent of sharing his good fortune with an editor. This is a commendable element in his composition, and we put him down among "the salt pf the earth," , UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Wo learn from the Columbia Phoenix of last Sunday that Dr. Nv ?, Tallet, of Columbia, has been elected'Professor in the School of Medicine, and Gen. A. C. Haskele, of Abbeville, Professor of.

Although young in years, our gallant friend has already achieved a name and reputation of which any one might be proud. His modesty, too, is not the least of his virtues. - ?-* ' DEATH OF WM.

New York, wo believe, but had been a resi? dent of this District for a great many years. He was a member of tho Episcopal Church, and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. At tho time of his death, Mr. Vas.

Wo have been furnished with the following in? teresting statement of facts connected with tho re turn.of taxes for this District the present year. The obliging Tax Collector, S. E. Moore, Esq., has closed the books, we believe, and makes the gratifying announcement that the large majority of persons have boon enabled to meet their taxes, notwithstanding the very stringent times and scarcity of money.

Of this amour^, Andersen village pays S3,018.-10, or searlv one-third THE GBJBENvTLLE ENTERPRISE. Our cotemporary complainingly suggests that we should'have published his article, commented on1 two weeks ago---or a" specimen-, "that others might judge of the justness- of the criticism." We respectfully submit* Pfia't the- Enterprise lias no just, cause of complaint in- this particular, as the'editor had specially oriticised the course- pursuod by a certain religious newspaper that was named with? out himself being ccgnizant of the circumstances ; and when we furnish' Him with the facts, he has ignored them altogether, and does not even miti? gate his offence against therules of courtesy which should govern members of the- press in dealing with each other. Oh- the contrary, he stilT thinks himself right. "Ephraim is joined to his idols," and must be let alone. In leaving this subject, we will remark to the editor, that though the Intelligencer may be a "lit? tle peculiar" in this matter, it lays na claim to the eccentricity of the Enterprise. That enlightened and progressive Journal has entirely ignored the right of other editors to control their own columns, and perform their labors in such manner as cir? cumstances will allow. We profess no such pecu? liarity, and will never hesitate, to condemn such arrogance, in whomsoever found. ! Communications;. For the Anderson Intelligencer. BELTON ACADEMY. DearHoyt: On Thursday, the 27th inst., our people witnessed another of those exhibitions which demonstrate that tho educational interests of our country are being carefully fostered. The pupils of the Belton Academy, which is so satis? factorily conducted by Gapt. George R. Dean, and Miss Mary Telford, gave a series of exercises to a large and appreciative audience. In the forenoon the pupils went through with a most creditable ex? amination upon orthography, mathematics, gram? mar and geography. Next, a series of nice com? positions were read, and then the smaller pupils delivered select speeches. These concluded the exercises of the morning, and the pupils and audi? ence united in despatching a bountiful Pic Nie dinner, which had been kindly provided for the oc? casion. From noon until nearly sunset, the young people- spent the hours most joyously in music, merriment, and dancing, at the hotel of G. W. McGee. ' The spacious Baptist church had been obtained for the exhibition at night; a large stage had been erected, carpeted and seated ; the walls gracefully festooned with evergreens, and hung with brilliant lights. When we arrived, we found the building filled in every available space, with the beauty, worth, and intelligence of the surrounding coun? try. The young ladies and gentlemen, who were to take part in the exercises, were nicely disposed around tho stage, and occupying seats among them, we noticed the Rev. Robert King, G. B. Tel? ford, Esq., R. W. Todd, B. D. Dean, Col. G. W. Cox, G. W. McGee, Dr. W. C. Brown, and Col. W. D. Wilkes. Capt. G. R. Dean, introduced Rev. R. King, who invoked a blessing upon the exercises of tho eve? ning. Master F. K. Breazoale, then welcomed the audience, in a neat and well delivered salutatory. Speeches were next delivered, upon appropriate subjects, and in an admirable manner, by James Horton, J. H. Telford, Reed Campbell, Nowton Tel? ford, W. A. King, L. H. Lewis, F. K. Breazeale, Joel Rice, J. L. Dean, A. W. McDavid. Alterna? ting with these young gentlemen, Misses Alice Brown, Fannie Taylor, Mallie McGee, Carrie' Tay? lor, Emma McGee, Fannie Breazeale, Nannie Breazeale, Alice Robinson, Sarah McGee, Alice Gaines, Elanor Rice, Fannie Branyan, and Victoria McGee, recited elegant selections of poetry in a charming manner. Dr. William C. Brown, who was invited to de? liver an address, was next introduced, and an? nouncing as his theme, "The obligations of our youth," -proceeded to discuss it, and in a pleasing and forcible manner, fcr some thirty minutes. We never heard Dr. Brown in public before, and must express our gratification with his efforts. Col. Warren D. Wilkes, who was invited to 6peak also, was next introduced, and for near an hour, spoke in one of his happiest and most effective strains. Of his speech, it is only necessary to say, to those who know him, that he was thorough? ly prepared for the occasion. As a little nonsense is at times relished by all men, the "Arkansas Traveller" was next acted by A. W. McDavid and Joel Rice, in a manner that amused the whole au? dience. A happy valedictory, by J. H. Telford, closed the exercises of the evening. Where all ac? quitted, themselves 6o creditably, it would be in? vidious to particularize those whom we thought excelled. VIATOR. - For the Anderson Intelligence. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT, At a regular communication of Hiram Lodge, No- 68, A. F. M., held July 1st, 1867, the follow? ing Preamble and Resolutions were- unanimously adopted: Whereas, it hath pleased the Snpremo Archi? tect of the Universe to remove from the scenes of earthly labor our beloved Brother, THOMAS B. BURRISS, Secretary of this Lodge; and whereas, it is proper that, while humbly bowing to this decree of a merciful Providence, some expression of the esteem and admiration in which our depar? ted Brother was held should be placed upon the records of Masonry. Be it thereforo Resolved, That this Lodge sustains an irrepara? ble loss in the death of Bro. Burhiss, and we will ever preserve sacred tho memory of his virtues and exalted worth, cherishing with fidelity his faithful observance of Maeonic duties and his warm attachment to tho principles of this ancient fraternity. Resolved, That our warmest sympathies are with the aged and bereaved parents in this affliction, and that we condole with them in the loss of a faithful and devoted son. Resolved, That the members of this Lodge wear tho usual badge of mourning for thirty days, as a mark of respect to our deceased Brother. Resolved, That a page in our Minute Book be dedicated to his memory. Resolved, That this Preamble and Resolutions be published in the Anderson Intelligencer, and that the National Freemason be requested to copy. JAMES A. HOYT, ) JOHN B. MOORE, L Committee. F. C. v. BORSTEL. J Anderson, S. C, July 1st, 1867. For the A nderson Intelligencer. MASONIC. Ata meeting of IIermon.Lodgc, No. 116, A.\F.\ M.\, held in the Lodge Room, on tho evening of tho 24th ult., tho following resolutions wcro unani? mously adopted : Resolved, That the thanks of this Lodge arc due and are hereby tendered, to Gov. James L. Orr' Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of South Carol lind, and other officers of the Grand Lodge, for their kindness and efficiency, in the dedicat ion and consecration of our Lodge, and the installation of our officers to-day. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Anderson Intelligencer. W.M. HAMILTON, Secretary. EdrtoiM Pennings and Clippings. Battle of Tort Houltrie. Friday was the anniversary of the repulse of the British fleet under Admiral Parker, and the British (troops under Gen. Clinton, by the South Carolini? ans under Col. Mocritrie and Gen. Lee; The Post commandant of Charleston caused a salate of thir? teen guns to be fired" act sunrise, and during the day the national flag was displayed on the public buildings, thc/orts, and shipping in the harbor. The Gharlesksa Mercury has the following resume of the engagement: The force on.Sullivan'a Island at the time of the attack was 435- men, of whom 413 were of the 2d South Carolina regiment of infantry and 22 of the 4th South Carolina regiment of artillery, the whole commanded by Colonel Moultrie. Admiral Por? ker's fleet consisted of two fifty gun ships, four frigates and a number of smaller vessels. The fort occupied by tho Carolinians was built of pal? metto logs, and within it was a deep morass. Upon this point the main attack was made, the British land forces, under Clinton, being held in check by the 3d South Carolina "regiment, under Colonel Thompson. Tho battle at the fort lasted from 10 A. M. to 9 r. M., and was fought with heroic gal? lantry. When the enemy drew off the Experiment bad lost fifty-seven killed and thirty wounded, the Bristol forty killed and seventy-one wounded, and the Commodore's ship lost more than one hundred in killed and wounded. The Actceon, twenty-eight guns, was abandoned and destroyed by the enemy at the close of the engagement. In the fort the total loss was but ten men killed and twenty wounded. It was for an act of gallantry in this action that^ergeant_Jasrjej was presented with a gword by President Rutledgc, and it was on this day that the brave Maodaniel said: "I die, my comrades; but do not let the cause of liberty die with me!" "Register ? Register V Such is tho watchword of nearly all of our Southern exchanges. We can scarcely open a Southern paper that does not ring out this signal word in glaring capitals. The Richmond Whig well says: There are two modes of manifesting opposition to reconstruction?one by active, the other by passive, resistance. Active resistance would be made by registering and voting against conven? tions, and against acceptable candidates and con? stitutions; passive resistance by not registering or voting at all. Between the two, the bolder and more manly course, though equally disastrous, is the former. It is, therefore, more to be respected. It does not hide, or seek to hide, itself, but comes out frankly, assumes all the responsibility that properly attaches to it, and relieves the commu? nity from any share of it, while those who pursue the passive policy shrink away from observation and accountability, leaving . the community in which they live to bear the responsibility. The Grand Army. The New York Tribune thus pays its respects to the Grand Army of the Republic. We find a sentiment in the West that has ex? pression in a few miserable, jobbing newspapers? a kind of -Thcnardier feeling. A number of office beggars and politicians, calling * themselves the Grand Army of the Republic, and meeting in out of-the-way places with grips and pass-words, are passing resolutions demanding confiscation and farms. This is either knavery or madness. Peo? ple who want farms work for them. The only class we know that takes other people's property because they want it is largely represented at Sing Sing. The people of this country do not want Sing Sing and Mexican banditti principles intro? duced into their statesmanship. We can never re? construct America by the gallows and the Deputy Sheriff, and we trust that the spirit of kindness will prevail?especially because this contest is not made by the Southern people. Southern Agricultural Convention? The Montgomery Mail proposes the holding of a Southern Agricultural Convention in that city at an early day. It enlarges upon the advantages that would grow out of the assembling and action of such a body composed of delegates from the Gulf States. One of the leading objects would be the adoption of some means by which immigrants might be brought to the fields of labor now so much needing their presence. It says: We are now moving along like a ship without compass, ap? parently at the mercy of laborers who have pro? claimed their intention to rule and tax the white land owners to their heart's content. If we re? main quiet they may possibly succeed, but if we set on foot some such plan as we have suggested, we can procure such intelligent and friendly labor as will work with us, prosper with us, and sympa? thize with us. Military Orders and Law. The military orders of General Sickles subvert? ing the supremacy of the civd authority in North and South Carolina, says tho Washington Express, have not been very much heeded by the Chief Justice of the United States. It will be remem? bered that General Sickles enacted a stay law by military order, and assumed the functions of a su? preme legislator for both of those States. Wise as may have been his measures, they were unauthor? ized ; and the Chief Justice, at Raleigh, pronounced them without force in reference to the pleadings and practice in the United States Circuit Court. It does not becomo the Chief Justice to give the sanction of law to tho extra legal assumptions of a Military Commander, though no one would be more ready than Chief Justice Chase to uphold the authority of a military officer within his own sphere. Good Advioe. The Columbia Phoenix, in concluding an article upon the situation, has tho following sound and practical advice: Follow tho counsels of no politician, either of the past or present day?the former is wedded to an? cient prejudices, and does not yet realize tho true position in which the people of the South are placed; the latter is either aspiring after office, or the mere pimp of some party commissioned to hunt up votes. The people must grapple with the facts and perform their duty to themselves and their country as plain common sense dictates. If they do this, the work of restoration will be smooth and easy, and South Carolina may, with the open? ing of the new year, have regained her rightful po? sition in that Union of which she was an original member. The London Times. The London Times, the great representative of popular opinion in Great Britain, has a leader on the release of Jeff. Davis. The gist of the article is embraced in the following short estract: With tho release of Mr. Jefferson Davis it may be said that the last scene of the great civil war in America has come to an end. It is a worthy close of a great contest, an act of moderation of which the people may be proud, and of which they are ltkely to receive the benefit in the subsidence of angry passions, and tho restoration, or rather the creation, of a national feeling pervading the entire Union." VARIOUS AND RANSOM PARAGRAPHS. ? Helper, whe wrote the Impending Crisis in 1800, has taken a new position, in which he de? scribes the negro as "the incorrigible and groveling ignoramus upon whom it is proposed to confer at once the privilege of voting?the right of universal suffrage ! This is the loathsome and most execra? ble wretch (rank-smelling and hideous arch-crimi? nal that he is) who has been mentioned as one fit ?o have a voice in the enactment of the laws for the government of the American people." ? The Albany Evening Jsvrnal takes a novel view of female suffrage. It says: "Women at the ballot-box will be followed by women in the jury box. How delightful it will then be to serve one's country. The class of pro? fessional jurymen will increase wonderfully. And there will be no objection to staying out all night on a knotty and interesting case, either." ? The National Intelligencer, adverting to the fact that the orders of the military commandants construing the reconstruction act, and defining the right to vote, differs from the "opinion" of the Attorney-General, says ; "We ha7e good reasons to believe that instructions, founded upon the ideas of the chief legal officer of the Government, will be given in due time, in a more categorical manner and in such form as to render compliance a matter of military as well as civil duty." ? The Mariana (Fla.) Courier states that one Captain Hamilton, of the Freedmcn'a Bureau, or? dered the arrest of two or three young ladies of that place, upon the charge of desecrating the graves of Union soldiers. Considerable excitement was created by the proceeding. The ladies, with their friends, made their appearance before the Captain, and an investigation was had, in which no reliable evidence was introduced to support the charge, and the young ladies were immediately released from arrest. ? About sixteen years ago Samuel State, of Richhill township, Greene county, Penn., married hie cousin, Cassandra State. After three children were horn to them, about the year 1855, State went to California. He wrote home several times in the course of a year or two after he went there, and then ceased. His wife believing from his silence, that he was dead, married Jonas Chess some time in I860.?'Chess went into the army and died. A few weeks ago, State, the first husband returned from California, to find his wife married, and a widow. There is no legal obstacle in the way of resuming their first engagement. ? The statement that an American lady, cast into shipwreck on a Fijian island, was eaten by the natives, while they substituted her chignon for their principal idol and worshippedMt, is denied. Whether true or not, the ready credence given to the story was natural, and is easily accounted for: The Fijians are known to select the most hideous objects for idols. Another story connected with the monstrous appendage, and quite as credible as the other, has also been exploded. It was to the effect that the body of a shipwrecked English lady, found on the Norwegian coast by some rude and superstitious fishermen, was mistaken by them for a mermaid, whose head had become inextricably entangled in a fish net. ? TScrc is now approaching completion in Bal? timore an immense edifice, which will be occupied by the St. James Roman Catholic congregation. Some idea of the extent of the building may be formed from the-fact that it required one million eight hundred thousand bricks in its erection, and it will sent comfortably three thousand persons on the ground floor. The work of frescoing is done by the priests known as the Rcdcmptorists. The principal sum required to erect Ihis immense spe? cimen of architecture was raised by weekly contri? butions from members of the congregation of twen? ty-five cents each. It is one of the most attractive and imposing buildings in the city. ? An army officer who has traveled through Russian America, writes to the Buffalo ExpresstUat the climate is not at all unendurable, (here are no extreme colds in the winter season, and much of the summer is hot?uncomfortably so. The cli? mate is probably as healthy as any other conti? nent. The country cannot be made valuable as an agricultural region, although in the vicinity of Sit ka good vegctablps are profusely raised. But yet its timber, its furs, and its fisheries will be invalu? able. The former is of spruce, excellent in quali? ty; the fur bearing animals of the interior are plenty, embracing all kinds except the sable, and yielding furs of unsurpassable texture ; while the fisheries will make an unfailing resource of nation? al wealth. -Cv NEWS ITEMS. . ? The Northern papers report that tho liabili? ties of the firm of Fr?ser, Trenholm & Co., have been ascertained to exceed their assets by nearly one million pounds sterling. ?' The damage to the Wilmington and Manches? ter Railroad by the late rains, has been fully re? paired, and all the trains arc running through in schedule time. ? The jury in the case of Boag, and others, tried for the murder of Roc in a recent duel, after 20 minutes deliberation, rendered a verdict of "not guilty." The presoners were discharged. ? The New Orleans Crescent says the darkeys in the country parishes are beginning to ask of the Radical emmissarics among them how it is possible for freedmen to be free, if they can't vote as they please? ? The Fredericksburg (Va.) Ledger reports a man, calling himself George William Thompson, and claiming to be a registrar, as having collected, at 51 per voter, 52,000 from the "intelligent con? trabands" in the Northern Neck. ? A patent has recently been issued to Lorenzo Sibert, of Augusta county, Va., for.making steel railroad bars, and other steel, direct from a blast furnace, at comparatively little expense. If such a process is successful, it is ono of the most impor? tant discoveries of the age. ? Instructions have been issued by the Presi? dent, through the Adjutant General's office, to the commanders of military districts under the recon? struction act, for the carrying into effect of the At? torney-General's interpretation thereof, as given in the nineteen points already published. ? The Charleston Savings Bank has been seized by the military authorities for failure to pay the full principal and interest to certain United States soldiers of the Fort Moultrie garrison, who were its depositors when the war commenced. The bank is insolvent and in liquidatiou, aud its direc? tors have refused to consider these depositors as preferred creditors. ? A shocking murder was committed in Rowan county, N. C, a few days ago. One R. Lunwick married a Miss Campbell against the will of his parents. They forbid her entering their house. A few days afterwards the body of tho young wife was found in the Yadkin river, with a bullet hole in the temple?her throat was also cut. Ludwick was committed to jail, and it is believed that his parents had something to do with the murder also. ? It is said that Attorney-General Stanberry holds that Chief Justice Chase's decisions, recog? nizing the Confederates as belligerents of war, in order to legalize the sale of the captured blockade runners, precludes a trial for treason, as belliger? ent cannot be tried for that offence It is said that this doubt on tho subject, was the real cause of tho drlay in bringing Mr. Bavin to trial. The Extra Session? We have not, says the New York Express, seen a man of business, who is not a Radical politician? nor have we beard of one, who does not regret the contemplated extra session of Congress. Should (he bank or currency questions be considered, tbe effect will be deplorable upon trade, as no real bu? siness has or can have any real success while Con? gress is in session, and engaged as this one will be, in impf?eing more strenuous measures for keep? ing the Union apart. On party grounds, we might rejoice over the assembling of Congress, bat for the sake of the country, we deplore the meeting, as the effect roust be to create distrust, and to in? crease the burdens of taxation. jgmeneal, On Tuesday, 25th inst., at the residence of the bride's fatber, by the Rev.
