Sevrai dais are supposed 2 claps sense the abuv, wich brings us back to whar I vus sittin in the moonlite smokiu, on farmer Joneses porch ; es I said be 4. I sot thar studyin about tho bean of my lov, when all of a suddent, chapter xxxiii. I tuck a noshin thet it wood be a rip stovin ideo 2 go and giv my shugar plum a moonlito surenaid, so I gits up and gits my cat-gut screecher that was hangin in its groen hag on the wall, and started for Brown's dearin. Arrivin at the fens it was hut the work ov a moment 2 plais my self on tho inside of it, and roovo tords the house. Passin thru the cabbige or? chard aforementioned, a plais sodderod 2 my.affeckshuns by boin the seen ov that 1st intervu, the specktakel was sublimo. As far as the I's cood reech fords the house the avenoo wus lined on either side by stately cabbiges and raajistic egg plants, wile the tender punkin and cow cumber vines timidly klung 2 tho noble corn-stawks os ef pleedin for help and proteckshun. As I sod further up, I ad i vansed up this aveneo tords the house, and takin my instroomentfrom the aftro sed green bag, 1 sot 2 work toonon' her up, (the fiddle, not the green bag,) and I thru sed bag on the grass on til i shood be comin back. I went up 2 tho houce, and takin up my posishun under ole Brown's gable eond, 1 started themusick. Bein in a solem mood, the 1st thing I struck up was tho march of tho Deceesed in Saul. Well, I got as far es the 2nd semmy-doramy quiver in tho 3rd varia shun, when I heerd a rustlin sound in the bushes in my imraejit flank and reer, and I turned round suddently, oxpectin 2 Bhold the bean of my lov, when, O ! hor? ror ov horrors ! CHAFTEB XXIV. The sito my I's rested on mo?t-froze my blud in my jugulars, for there in the pail lito of tho moon, not 10 foet from whar I stud, was standin the most fero shuB, blood-thirsty lookin gallinipper over my I's beheld, out ov whose immensopro porshuns glared 2 hailful lookin obs ov fire, whoso gais wus on my bludless koun tonene. I stood rnted 2 tho spot for the moment, but a forrid movement on the part ov the opposit party broak tho spell thet wus woven round me, as it war. Nurved 2 desperasbun, I gathered my scattered N-orgies for a mitey effort, and ?oasin ray violin by the handle (worth SGj), I fired it at his figgor bed and start? ed. The ony avonoo ov oskapo thet pre? sented itself led rite past the houce and down tords the smoak-houco; all my hopes inflife war sentered inflhat smoak houce, for ef I cood reeeh it be 4 bean o.vertaiken by tother party, in the lan? guage of thepoick, "I may be happy y it!" Aly feet got the loan ov a fu pare of wings from feer and I flu. I cood plainly heer the footsteps of my foa gain'n on me at every stop. Oh ! tbo horror of them moments; every ackshion of my life past be 4 me?tho boara ov my childhud roso to my vu, and of how I usod2 hido under the barn when my sainted mother sent mo to chop wood. I thot ov Geneveeve ?angelic Genevoeve ! O, thot I, its hard 2 dio in the bloom of yewth and mako no sino! At tho thots ov thi3 my braue roded?everything swam befoar mo?I could beor the gallinipper closin on mo?I felt his hot broth on my cheek, whon my foot struck a root and wus prostrated 2 the erth with a forco by no means gentle. when suddenly I heerd a rushin sound thru tho air follercd by a mixt yell of pane and rage from the gallinipper, whon every thing grew dark around mo. I was faintin. As koushussnes wus leevin mc I felt my hod claspt by som 1 and I mur? mured : Toll?my?mother?how 1 di?. I then hard musick and butiful eingin in the dietens. Stranger I hadswunod?swaned in the arms of ray angolic boin. CHAPTER XXV. How long I remaned in this kritikel kondishun 1 hov no korreckt idee; suffis it 2 sai that when I kum 2, I found my? self lyin'on a bed?ov salad, with abuv sed angelic hean bendin' over mo. She had unshipped her back hare and plaised it under my bed, and was batbin' my kountenans with well water and collin' me by names swooter than onny 2 bo found in the konfeckshuncr's kalcnder. Old Brown was thar, also, standin' aloof, with folded arms, survayin' tho seen ! Ike was thar, also, aarchin' my cote pockits (wich the madon had pulled off me) 2 to diskover my I dentity ef possible. As I opened my oys Genevoeve hollered, "He lives ! he lives ! Ho breethes ! he breethos! Ol I thot he was ded!" I thot sho was rofirrin' 2 [tho lait so-called gallinipper, so I murmured, "Nook him on the hed wy don't you ! stop his wind I besoech thee I" As I uttered those words Genoveeve jumt up and fell down in a swune. I got up then, and with the assistons ov the 2 outsiders spoken uv further up, koustruckted a littor ov close polos, and boar ber 2 the manshun. The female stingaree alreddy spoken ov then took charge ov hir, and from olo Jonos I lamed all I didn't no about tho afaro alreddy. X don't intend 2 toll how ho tole mo that Genovcevo hurd my surenaid and was-korain to meot me wen she saw my Oerel. Nor how she saw that tho gilli nipper wood reech me be4 I'd reech the smoak-houco j nor how she rushed in2 tho kitchen and seazed a dishcloth, and how she fired the dishcloth at him jost cs I stumbled; nor how sho flew upon him like a tiger when he fell, and buryed eloospin in his hart. No, stranger, I'll not tell onny of those things 2 outsider*. Tho ole man wuspumpin mo all ho uoo how about my family, my bignie, my prospecks and so4, whon like a Streek ov litenin',. CHAPTER XXVI. Geneveeve kum 2 and yelled like a cata? mount, pintin' at me. Tako him away ! Kill him, or he will destroy rae! and seazin a kandlestick, she kum for mo, fomein at the mouth like on 2 a boer keg. It is soop-erflnis 2 sai that I evaporated tords tother sido of tho house?that is, tho outside?for the faok was, my nurves were in the saim kondi?hun os my fiddle strings. The trooth kannot be hidden longer. ?Jhe events of the last fu boure?that ie, tho fite with thegallirrrpper, togotherwith ketchin cold in her hod by unsbippin' hor .waterfall in tho nita air?hod effected her bra ne. Dais glided in2 weeks and weeks in2 months, but still roeson did not re? turn 2 my angelick bean ; and, wast uv all, I cood not kum ny her, fur sho imag? ined I was a huge gallinipper. Imagin' rny feelins ! Forbiddin 2 seo my angelic bean ! It was moar'n I cuod stand, ao 1 day I wont down 2 Brown's, and tole him I must seo my angelick boan. He sed I coodu't! I sed I cood ! ne sod I'd bet? ter try it on. I went for the door, and he went for his blunderbuss, and swore he'd hurt my feeling. I went in2 tho house, and got cs fur cs tho door of the room ov my angelic bean, when ole Brown met me. Sez he : '-Keep out or I'll npile yoro looks!" and he pin ted his blunderbuss at my bed. I sed nothin'; but Iowerin* my bed the proper distene, prepared 2 gin a rale ole ginooino Congo butt in tho stoiu ick. As soon os I got my lied sited fur him. I went for him hod 4most. But, O ! uard ! ho stuek out his blunderbuss and I run agin it, wich I no sooner did then he let fly and tour the hole top ov tho hod off ov me, and smashed my bcd in2 1000 pieceSj when with a yell loud cnuff 2 wake the deceased KONKLUStJTTN. I woke. I'd bin asleep at the time in tho moonlit?, and dreamed tho abuv. Tho gallinippers hed bin a most chawin' tho bed off mo wile I wus asleep. A German Colony. $s^-, J. Wood Davidson, in tho Yorkville Enquirer of last week, furnishes the fol? lowing interesting details concerning a Gorman settlement below Columbia : All of our readers, perhaps, aro not aware of the fact that wo havo a colony of Gormans already located and at work in Richland District. The colony is as yet a very email one, it is true, but it is a nucleus to which additions, to anydesirod extent, can bo added. It is called Ger? mantown, and Ls situated on the Watoree river, twenty-five miles east of Columbia, and fifteen miles from the South Carolina "Railroad. It consists of four families of Germans, and, at present, numbers nine? teen persons. It is under tho direction and auspices of Mr. H. Lciding. of tho firm of ?orrison & Leiding, of Charles? ton. The Germans commenced opera? tions tho first, of November last by build? ing five dwellings? cottagos?with suita? ble outhouses, digging two wells, and clearing, for cultivation, over two hun? dred acres of land. They prefer to work uplands rather than tako tho risk of bot? toms. They have hired a fow negroes ; and these rnako tho cii'cctivo force?actu? ally at work in tho fields?twelvo labor? ers. During November tboy sowed thirty acred of wheat and twenty acres of rye. Since theu they havo added eight acres of Irish potatoes; throe of swcot potatoes; thirty of oats; seventy of corn; thirty five of cow-peas; and fifteen of cotton. Besides this, there aro two acres of gar? den lots, with tho vegetables of the lati? tude growing in them. Thoy work six horses. Thc aggregate lands in cultiva? tion is two hundrod and thirtcon acres? nearly eighteen acrc3 to each hand. It is tho purpose of Mr. Lieding to in crcaso this colony by immigration from Germany; and ho is hopoful of tho most complete success. Vic seo no reason why thero are not a hundred such, or largor, colonies airead}* in South Carolina. If farmers and land owners will act with prompt and gel/ protecting liberality, such eo'.onios will spring np rapidly all over the State. Mr. Lieding suggests the following six points as important for thoso desiring to give substantial encouragement to theso movements : 1. Get such labor as tho country now already has. if they Pucceed, they will induce others, their friends or relatives, to immigrato from Europe. 2. Put up a comfortable little house in a healthy locality for eaoh family. 3. Turn over to tho laborer fifty acres of good land for cultivation ; and furnish him with a mule, a cow, and a sow with pigs. 4. Furnish him with bacon, corn and provender for six or eight months. 5. Pay him 88 or SIG a month asa part of his earnings; and then interest him in tho nett proceeds, (after having deducted his wages and his support.) 6. Givo him a writton agroomcnt, that aXtcr ono yonr,and within five years, you will sell him tho house and land at a stip? ulated price. Mr. Lieding, is, himself, a German by birth, though a Confederate hy adoption and sorvice; and ho speaks on the subject with a moro than usual knowledge of what the dorman immigrants need and desire to make them comfortable and contented. There are several agencies that are ready and anxious to furnish laborers or families at roasonablo terms. Wo boliovo about $20 a hand ($7 for commission aud 613 for transportation from New Xork to Columbia) is about tho sum necossary to advanco in order to secure such labor. Two lots of laborers havo already ar? rived at Newberry, under tho auspices of a Scciot}' there, the like of which thero should bo in every other District in South Carolina. Our friends may percoivo that wo aro in oarnostin our advice to encourage im? migration into our Stato. We cousidcr it the only chance for hor to recover from her prosont prostration. But, foremost of all, wo believo it is the quickest way to work out the manifest destiny that God has in storo for tho demented Africans in our midst. ? A sailor, exhorting at a prayer mee? ting in n London chapel, said that on dark and stormy nights, while on the nea, hu had often been comforted by that beautiful passage of scripture, "A taint heart never won fair lady." ? The editor of thc Southbridge "Jour? nal" was sotall a-back the other day, whon ho asked a farmer's wife how she mado sausages, and received the answer: "Take your in'ards, scrape 'cm, scald 'em, and stuff 'em." ? Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Caro? lina, has accepted the appointment to ad? dress the Literary Society of Washington College at thc ensuing commencement iu June. J. Horace Lacy, Esc-., will address the Society of Alumni. Democratic Meeting. At a Democratic Meeting, held at Edge field C. H., this day, June 1st, the Hon. F. Yv. Pickens, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Democratic party of EdgeGeld District, was called to the Chair; B. C. Bryan acting as Secretary. The chairman read the Resolutions of a previous meeting of the Executive Com? mittee, and also his Report under those Resolutions. Gen. M. W. Gary offered the following Resolutions, and made a strong speech in support of the same: The Democratic Party of Edgcfield Dis-" tnct, South Carolina, in mass meeting as? sembled, declare the following principles : Resolved 1st, That the Government of the United States was made by whits men, for white men, and that with the blessing of God and tho help of thc Domocartic Party, it shall continue to be "a white man's Government." Resolved 2nd, That we utterly repudiate the doctrine of qualified Negro Suffrage to which South Carolina was lately pied-1 ged by what purported to bo a general Convention of the Democratic Party of this State, as such a doctrine is the same in principle as the Radical scheme of uni? versal Negro Suffrage, and its logical re? sults would only bc a little less injurious. Resolved 3rd, That wbijo contending that all political rights are only to be ex? ercised by tho white race, wo are willing to guarantee all just civil rights to the ne? gro. Resolved 4th, That the foregoing Reso? lutions, in tho opinion of this meeting, embody the principles of the National Democratic Party of the North, as decid? edly expressed in thc late elections, involv? ing the question of Suffrage, and that these Resolutions are intonded to put us in ac? cord with that party. These Resolutions were seconded hy the Hon. G. D. Tillman, who made an el? oquent and effective 6peech in favor of thom. Mr. E. W. Seihcls opposed tho Resolu? tions in a bold and strong speech. Mr./Tillrnan replied, still warmly sup? porting the Resolutions. Ex-Gov. Bonham upheld and defended the Resolutions iii a manner which told very decidedly upou his hearers. Gen. M. C. Butler closed the argument in support of the Resolutions in a ?hort but very able and eloquent address. After which, the Resolutions were sub? mitted, one by one, to the meeting, aud all unanimously adopted. Thereupon, the fallowing Resolution was oifered hy Gen. R. G. M Dnnnovant: Resolved, That a Committee of twenty one be appointed hy tlx Chair to nomi nato to this meeting delegates to a State Convention to meet at Columbia on Monday the Sth inst., to choose delegates to the National Democratic Convention, which is to meet at New York City, thc 4th day of July proximo. This Resolution being adopted, the Committee was appointed, and nominated the following citizens as Delegates to meet in Columbia on the 8th inst., viz: F. W. Pickens, M. L. Bonham, G. D. Tillman, Jas. Gregg. M. Yvr. Gary, M. C. Butler, Tims. Jones, L. Charlton, J. H Brooks, Luke Galbreath, Jas. A. Talbert, A. P. Butler, J. P. Mickler, B. E. Nicholson and R. G. Dunnovant. On motion of Capt. J. C. Brooks, Resolved, That tho proceedings of the Meeting bc published in the Edgeiic-ld Advertiser, the Charier-ton Mercury, and other Democratic papers of the State.
