Roserb, of Williamston, has been appointed Magistrat? for this ocuntj, and has entered upon the duties of bis office.

The Columbia Phoenix having stated that the publication of the Guardian was "indefinitely post? poned." Mr C. P. Pelham addresses a note to the editor of that paper, informing him that the Guar? dian will appear in due season and that its publi? cation is a settled matter. Owing to a protracted illness and the necessity of arranging other busi? ness, Mr. Pelham has been delayed in meeting ibe demand for an enterprising and independent news? paper at the capital. We are glad to know, how ever, that he has not relinquished the idea, and that in good time the Guardian will be sent forth to its thousands of old admirers all over the State We have heard of a gentleman, in an adjoining county, who proposes to subscribe for one hundred copies when it appears. This sort of encourage? ment will place the Guardian upon a safe footing at once, and will build uj, and establish an organ worthy of support from the intelligence and re? spectability of the State. THE SOTJTHEBN RAILROAD. The Atlanta Intelligencer of. last Saturday pub? lishes a telegram dated Cincinnati, June 4, te the effect that the City Council had adopted Chatta? nooga, by an unanimous vote, as the terminus of the proposed Southern railroad. As the Charles ton Neu* remarks, this decision is not final, as the action,of the Council must be submitted to the people for approval. ' It is probible, however, that tile prtssure of private interests will cause the Chattanooga route to be permanently adopted. This action upon the part of Cincinnati, al? though unexpected from her ancient promises, will not affejt unfavorably or delay 'he completion of Ute Blue Ridge Railroad. Within the list week, Msumnce? have been given that Louisville will tit ance extend her system of railway to the Tennes * see line in the direction of Knoxville, and that the Xnoxvile and Kentucky Road will connect with Louisville in eighteen or twenty months, thus af? fording connection with Louisville and Cincinnati. - IMPORTANT TO HOLDEBS OF BANK BILLS. An exchange gives .the following list of Brinks in Sou'h Carolina now in course of liquidation, namely: Bank of the State of South Carolina, Bank of Camdeo, People's Bank, Planters' nnd Mechanics' Bank. The Farmers' and Exchange Bank has been closed up, and its bills are conse? quently worthless.. Under an act of the Legisla? ture, all of the- Banks in. this State are required to wind up their business- ty the first day of Decem? ber next, and many will be settled, up very Boon. As the notes not presented before that time will he lost altogether, it is important that holders should make some disposition of them and endeavor to realize their value at this time. The following Banks i i Georgia are also in liqui? dation, viz: Bank of Columbus, Bank of Com? merce, Bank of Savannnh, Bank of the State of | Georgia, City Bank of Augusta, Farmer's and Mechanics' Bank. Planters Bank of Savannah, Union Bank. The Bank of Augusta and the Au? gusta Insurance and Banking Company have been settled up, and their notes now out are valueless. NEWLY ELECTED DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. In the recent county elections, we observe the gratifying fact that the Democratic members of the Legislature are to be strengthened in their efforts to resist the tide of Radicalism. Abbeville and Pickens counties are contributing solid material to fihis end. Our worthy friend, James E. Hagood, Esq., has blfn elected Representative from Pick en?> to supply a vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. W. T. Field. Mr. Hagoou's qualifications as a business man are widely known, while he is endowed by Harare- with ao even temper and a goodly share of common sense. He will make a true representative of bis native section, jealously guarding its interests, and firmly npbolding prin? ciples of justice and right. We congratulate the voters of Pickens upon their choice. In Abbeville, Col. James S. Cothban was elected Senator by a small majority. It will be remembered that this county has not been represented as yet in the State Senate, owing to the rcfusual of Mr. Vor.su to qualify. The election to fill the vacancy was closely, contested, and we learn that the Radicals ' afterwords oought to nbow "fraud and violence'' on the port o? ibe Democrats. In this they failed, notwithstanding aa investigation by the Commis? sioners of Elections, lasting ?e vend days, and they were finally compelled to declare Col. Cotbkax du? ly elected, although they reducod his majority to almost nothing. His peat will probably be contes? ted. We rejoice, however, that there is even a small chance for gallant old Abbeville to be repre? sented by one o'' her truest sons and ablest defen? ders. Wc know him well, and have a high appre? ciation of the manly character and brilliant attain? ments-of Cpl. ContUA.v. If permitted to t/tlce his seat, the Dcmooracy of South Carolina will recog? nize him as an earnest champion, boldly defending tiie right, and swift to denounce wrong and oppres? sion, -^ VxiSflyJEuiST.?Mr. Newton Scott, our worthy Town Marshall offers for sale a fashionable car? riage, superior for riding.purposes to the most im? proved velocipede of the day. Look Cor his ad- i icrti'^mont. For the Anderson Intelligencer, JJu. Editor: Having been bo fortunate as to attend a Fishing Tarty the other day, I thought a short account of it might not be uninteresting to some of your many readers. The plaoe seleoted was the Mill of Mr. A. C. Jackson, on. Rocky River, twehe miles below An? derson. It -was on Saturday, June 5th, and I don't think we could have been better suited-in the weather if we had been permitted to order it ourseLvcs. Dame Natare did her part well. The scenery, was very good, indeed- On (he one hand, the wood covered' hill-side, broken with its ravines and hollows was indeed beautiful to behold; on the opposite side, the scattering growth o( trees made it moro easily traversed, and yet it was sha? dy enough to make it comfortable. Nature did not furnish us with a water-fall, but the mill-dam was a pretty good substitute ; over it an immense amount of. water poured, with a loud roar, and wenLoff in a ewcepiug current. The crowd began to assemble before nine o'clock. ?The fishing began about eleven. Then you could have seen a couple, with rod and line, going up the 3tream, nnother down?in fact, in every direc? tion. Seldom would you see more than two to? gether ; but that <s not strange, you know. I don't think there were many twimmera caught, or at least 1 didn't see many ; but I did see some big walkers caught, and without much trouble, too. At two o'clock we were all called to a beautiful grove, where we found a bountiful dinner spread upon the grass, for whiob the ladies who got it up deserve many thank*. We discarded knives and forks, and as to tables we had none ; all of which 1 liked much better than if we had had all the conveniences of a well ordered household,, as it made it seem more like a dinner in the woods. In looking over the assemblage while they were at dinner, I was satisfied there was at least one hun? dred and twenty-five persons present. After din? ner the crowd again dispersed?some few to their homes, but nearly all remained for some hours. In the afternoon fishing was done on the hillside? in buggies and other like places. At five o'clock the party was entirely broken up, or nearly so. I think all went away well pleased, unless it was dome bashful swain who had been "cut out" by some one of more courage. I never in my life beheld a more interesting assemblage of young people, especially the fair sex. I thiuk that sec? tion of our county is greatly blessed. When I left I came to the conclusion that the various tribes of the fish-kind bad not been disturbed very much during the day; but I know that tne bachelor fra? ternity sustained some very heavy losses, or at least it will by this day's frolic. What meaneth this? A wood, a river! And see ! there's a gay crowd by it. Wi.o are these bold ones ihiu dare to rob This place of its wonted quiet ? Ah, I see! 'Tis a few gay ones who Have assembled to-day to fiah ; And well may I call it a gay crowd, For 'tis as gay as heart could wish. New, see! they are all off to their work, And drop their books in the water; There they sit?a youth, with smiling face, Whimpering to somebody's daughter. Metbinks the fish may feel very safe It fishers are not more zealous ; "Yes, yes," some are beginning to say, "He is indeed very jealous." Ah! there's a party down by the bridge? i One of them has a dress of pink; She has succeeded in hooking one, And has thrown him far from the bvink. But she has been more successful still* And I am firm in my belief A certain young man has lost his ueart, And I think that she is the thief. I've been told that there's a cruel god, Who is blind and uses a bow ; And I know that he is here to-day. As (he future, I'm sure, will show. But if 1 write here all that I see. I will not get through very soon ; Tet I will say that few who are here Will forget the fifth day of June. CLARENCE. -o For the Anderson Intelligencer. Pleasaxt Home, S. C, June 7, 1869. Dear Sir : Thinking that the numerous readers of your valuable paper would like to know some? thing of the farms and people of the Northern portion of Anderson County, actuates me to con? tribute an humble article. First, we will notice the farm of Mr. J. B. W., one mile North of Concord Church, which we find to be a model farm. The wheat crop very good, ?and corn looks well; in fact, the prospect for breads!uffs are very flattering, which we should consider a great blessing and ever be thaukful, knowing as we do that since the days that Joseph's brethren went down into Egypt to buy corn there has been a great struggle with the human race to make bread ; and it seems as though the land has about consented to pay homage to "King Cot? ton" once more. The farm is under good fence, well stocked, and in a thriving condition. We will uext notice the furm at Hickory GroTe, where every excellence seems to have gathered, and order (which is the first law of Heaven) rules. The. grove is a perfect bower, a?d lovely, too? shaded by majestic hickory and stately oaks ; the residence elegant, the inmates intelligent, inter? esting and clever. The farm ia under the super? vision of Mr. L., who seems to understand his business. The Grove is six miles from Anderson C. H., where the Hamburg and Wiison Ferry roads cross. The farm of Mr. F. J., nine miles from Ander con, though not on so large a scale, seems to be conducted with science and judgment. Hia cot? ton looks promising and his wheat, the best I have seen. I think I can safely say it will make twen? ty bushels per acre, without any fears of having my judgment called t? account or my veracity any wuys tarnished. The farmers seem in much belter spirits than they were one month ago, as the warm rains and hot sunshine have started their crops to growing very fast. Even formers have some pleasant times. Of course they wi'l, under tho most sys? tematic And well arranged administration of affairs, meet with annoyance and disappointments. What condition of life or business calling is ex? empt ? But their minds are comparatively free from care compared with those engaged in trade and other pursuits of industry. In the enjoy? ments of the fanner consist the charm of rural lite. They are the outpourings, the gushing of good feeling. ?8 contrasted with artificial city life, where the card is made to represent the counten? ance, and a call within prescribed hours is the ex? pression of friendship. The people of this section arc generally intelli? gent and weil posted. I suppose the Intelligencer is a regular visitor to every family. If it is not, they only need to be reminded that it is still pub? lished at Anderson, at the very low price of two dollars and a half per annum. I think that at any o4 blie gatherings of the people around here, if you were present, you could get a score of sub? scribers. I don't ineau at preaching, for I don't know that an Editor ever goes, but public meet? ings ot a business character. 1 was bo very fortumue as to be at a Fishing Party on the 5th of June, at Mr*. .Morris' bridge across Six uud-Tweuty, where we had a very gay time. Fished until all were tired with fishing and fish, then repaired-to the house of our friend J. H., where we had "music sweet," and a few of us joined in the mazy dance to drive dull care away, after which we returned to the creek and fished until all parties were satisfied, and adjourned sine i \die. OCCASIONAL. 1 OUB CABPET-3AG GOVEBNOR EXPLAINS TO HI8 OWN SATISFACTION. We find the annexed article, from the Paris Free Kentuchian, going the rounds of the press : A Political Martyr?Gov. Scott, or Soutit Carolina, Explains Why he is Governor,?Be? ing introduced, while in Cincinnati, to the gentle? man who signs himself as above, and being im? pressed with his fine appearance and pleasant manners, we wondered why a mau who comported himself so agreeably could find the amount of pure brass necessary to fit him for the position of carpet-bag Governor. To satisfy our curiosity on this point we approached the subject as delicately as possible, and after politely explaining the fa? vorable impression he had made upon our mind, we said to him : ?'Now, Governor, we would really like to know how you, a native of Pennsylvania and a citizen of Ohio, can have the cheek?excuse the slang phrase, out it is expressive, and not intended to offend?to set yourself up as Governor of the proud, aristocratic State of South Carolina, and wear the honors and emoluments of the office without blushing." "Well," was the answer, "I have no doubt that from your stand-point I must appear in a most un? enviable light?very much like a scoundrel, in fact. But this is my side of the story: I was taken to South Carolina against my will, having been captured during the war. I liked the State, and at the close of the war I invested largely in real estate and settled among the Carolinians. I did not desire the position of Governor, and was induced to take it only by the earnest entieaty of many of the native citizens, who merely preferred me to other carpet-baggers. I am now a bona fide citizen of the State, and am here to advance her interests by securing, if possible, another railroad connection with the North and West." It will surprise tho decent people of South Car? olina to know that "many of the native citizens" earnestly entreated the modest and immaculate Scott to tako the position of Governor?a posi? tion evidently going a-begging, according to his side of the story. It will further surprise them that he "invested largely in real estate" at the close of the war. They will likewise be astonish? ed to learn that "he did not desire the position of Governor." According to the other side of the stery, which has never been successfully contra? dicted, Gov. Scott sought the nomination, and even went so far as to- spend hundreds of dollars to secure this-boon from the native negroes and renegades who composed largely the nominating caucus; up to thai time, so far as we havis learn? ed, he had never invested one dollar in real es? tate, and has since only bought some cheap prop? erty with the pickings of bis oSke. As to the native citizens, only scalawags and negroes have ever owned "the soft impeachment." - A FIRST CLASS BOARDING SCHOOL IN NEW YORE. A correspondent of the Edgefield Advertiser, over the signature of " Mavourneen," writes charmingly as to the appointments and round of duties in a first-class Boarding School in New York. The head of tho establishment is a native ef this State, and as some our readers might wish to know the location and merits of such a School, we give the concluding extract from the letter re ferred to, wherein the accomplished principal is personally introduced: And, now, who is at the head of this thoroughly useful and elevated school! She is Mrs. Edward B. White, of Charleston, S. C. Col. Edward B. White and his brother, Dr. Octavius White, both now living in New York, are natives of Charles? ton, where they lived until within a very few years past, and where their social position was always of the highest. Mrs. White being broken up in her old home by the fortunes of war, and having influential friends in New York, has come hither, and established the School of which I write. She is a lady of the most thorough educa? tion, a fine and experienced musician, an accom? plished linguist; and, more than all this, a soft, gentle, pious, conscientious woman. 1 know that in the South now there is a deep prejudice against sending young persons to Northern schools. As regards this prejudice, I say nothing. But should there be those in our State who would like to Bend a daughter to New York to school, they would be wise to consider the claims of Mrs. White, of Charleston, No. 2, West 43rd street. AFFAIRS IN CUBA. Washington despatches state that the force un? der Gen. Jordan had succeeded in joining the Cutfon forces, after several fights, in all of which the Spaniards were repulsed with serious loss. Gen. Jordan's loss was slight, not over forty-five in killed ar-d wounded. lie saved his artillery, arms and ammunition, and had with him 1700 new rifles, of the most approved pattern. Anoth? er expedition left the Southern coast on the 29th u.U., numbering 475 men, for the purpose of join? ing Gen. Jordan's command, and all of them were ex-Federal and Confederate soldiers. From telia ble information, it is stated that the men and muni lions of war have safely landed and are now with the Cuban army. The expedition was in charge of Col. De Rcsst, formerly of the Confederate tinny, from Louisiana. The general news from Cuba is unimportant. -? ITEMS-EDITOEIAL AND OTHERWISE. ?

Are we to have a war with England for Canada, or with Spain for Cuba ?" > LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF. Keese & McCui.lt.?This firm will continue to buy and sell Real Estate, gold and silver, old bank bills, &c. Persons iudebted to them are notified to cnrll and settle without delay. Office, No. It Granite Row, up stairs. Saleday.?The few persons in attendance on last Monday suggested the thought that the peo? ple were not apprised as to the time when saleday arrives. We prefer, however, to account for the sparse attendance on the ground that the farmers were too busy in their wheat, cotton and corn fields. One tract of land, containing 394 acres, was sold by the Sheriff, and brought $1,250. The Weather and Crops.?The heavy rains of last week resulted in no serioos damage to the crops, we believe. HarvesL begun this week, and there is every indication of an average yield of wheat. The cotton prospoct is better, and we hear some farmers regretting that they did not wait awhile before plowing up their early planting. Corn is highly promising and.growing vigorously. New Firm.?The announcement is made in to? day's issue lhat Messrs. Cater & Martin have pur? chased the stock of Keese & McCuiAY, No. 10 Granite Row, and will henceforth be found ready to supply the wants of friends and customers with everything in the way of general merchandize. We wish the young gentlemen abundant success, and bespeak for them a liberal share of patronage. OrrERS to Sell Cheap.?At the comer of the old Anderson Hotel, Mr. C. A. Reed offers to sup? ply the people with every variety of goods at the lowest cash, prices. His stock is complete and ex? tensive, and we are confident that purchasers can obtain bargains from bim. Remember, however, to carry along your pocket-books, as credit is non at invenlue. Captored and Abandoned Property.?In June, 1865, there were received at the Treasury Depart? ment three large wooden boxes, said to contain valuables, turned over by the War Department for safe keeping. These boxes have been lying ever since in the vaults of the Treasury, Wut. were to? day opened through the efforts of a United States Senator, some of whose constituents were suppos? ed to be interested. A committee, composed ot officers of the War and Treasury Departments, wit? nessed the carrying out of the joint order of the two departments. The boxes were found to con? tain exceedingly valuable invoices of diamonds, pearls, necklaces, watches, car-rings, hrouches, rings, chains, seals, and all manner of rare and expensive jewelry, to the value of many thousands of dollars. The most valuable property, however, which the boxes contained was a very large amount of gold and silver plate, consisting of pitchers, salvers, spoons, knives, urns, kc some of which was thought to have been more than a hundred years old. One of the boxes contained some very rich wearing apparel for ladies?silks, velvets, laces, kc, besides an incredible amount of Con? federate notes and bonds, and notes of State banks. There was also a small amount of specie, both gold and silver. The boxes were about the size of or? dinary dry goods boxes; and the value of their contents is variously estimated at from $20,000 to $100,000. Many of the articles were stamped with the family crests, initials, or monograms of the owners, and all were of the finest and most costly description. The boxes were sent by the Provost Marshal General of the Army of the Ten? nessee to the War Department in this city, and Sec? retary Staunton turned them over to Treasurer Spinner, subject to future action. The valuables are supposed to have Leen taken possession of by Sherman's men in Georgia and other States, where they had been abandoned by fleeing inhabitants. In some cases they were taken from banks, which had ceased to do business upon the approach of the Federal army. The officers of both depart? ments are uncertain of their duty in the matter of the disposition of this property. Some hold that it should be returned, under proper restrictions and proof, to the owners, if they can be found. Others believe the articles belong to the Govern? ment, under the laws of Congress, and that they should be sold, and the proceeds placed in the Treasury: while still others affirm that neither ihe War nor the Treasury Department has any authori? ty in the premises, and that a special act of Con? gress should be called for. Nothing has yot been done, and the valuables have been returned to the vaults of the Treasury. A Negro Insurrectionist Killed.?From the Elberton Gazette, we learn that a negro man was killed near Lexington Court House on Friday, 28th ult. It seems that he, in connection with a num? ber of others, had entered into a plot to massacre the inhabitants and then bum the town of Lex? ington. One of their number, from some cause, exposed the hellish plot of these fiends, where? upon warrants were issued for the arrest of the guilty parlies. The Sheriff, with a posse of men, attempted to arrest some of the negroes, wheu this one refused to surrender himself, and defied the authority of the Sheriff by attempting to shoot some of his party, when ho received several shots in his body, which resulted in almost in? stant death. ? Gen. Ripley, formerly of the Confederate ar? my, and well known in most of the Southern States, has just passed through a bankrupt court in London. His liabilities were $37,000, aud his assets $5,000. ? The Confederate graves in Hollywood ceme? tery at Richmond were decorated on the 2nd insr. About ten thousand persons visited the cemetery, business houses were closed, and a general holi? day observed. ? During tho past thirty-five years no less than fifty-five daily papers have been started in the city of New York, lived for a short lime and then uied for want of adequate support?after having sunk millions of dollars. ? The Archduke Louis Victor, youngest brother of the Emperor of Austria, is in New York; is about tweniy-six years of age, thin, tall, handsome and blonde. He has a most remarkable resem? blance (o his unfortunate brother Maximilian. ? Belcher, the negro assessor of internal reve? nue for the third district of Georgia, and one of his assistant assessors, have bceu arrested by United States Commissoincr Davis, on the charge of feloniously destroying Government papers made out by a former assistant assessor, for the purpose of injuring the latter. ? The quarrel between Governor Reid, of Flori? da, and the State Legislature has resulted in a virtual repudiation of the State debt, the Gover? nor having arranged with the State Treasurer to refuse to pay the interest accruing on a large amount of bonds issued by direction of the Legis? lature for the purpose of carrying on the Stale business. ? Senator' Sprague, who has recently visited most of the Cotton States, speaks in a very inter? esting strain upon the condition of the country. The uext cotton crop will not, he think, exceed two millions and a quarter of bales. Owing to the uncertainly of colored labor, it has become un? profitable to carry on large plantations, and most of lhe crop is uow furnished by farms that yield from one to five and so on up to fifty bales. %\t liUrlicfs. coriiected weekly bt Sil arpe k fant.
