"The Atlanta Intelligencer announces the death of Maj. John H. Steele, fox many years con? nected with the jottssalis? of mu sister State. He has boon on the editorial staff of the In? telligencer for more than ten years, and during that time has maintained the character of an able, high-toned and dignified journalist. In his death, the craft has lost one of its best members. Major Steele was a brother of Mrs. Judge Munro, of Union, recently of this place. Impeacjyrieut of Judge Vernon. The articles of impeachment in the case of Judge Veruon were adopted by the House of Representatives on Jfriday last, and were pre? sented, to the Senate by the managers author? ised to conduct the impeachment. There are six articles alleging drunkenness at divers times and places therein specified.; one fpr issuing blank writs of habeas corpus, and; one for con? tempt of the Hou^c. Ou Monday last, the Senate adopted a resolution to begin the trial of. Judge Vernon at oue o'clock Tuesday after? noon, January 17th. The proceedings in the case will probably occupy the remainder of this week. Tue Working Christian.?This excel? lent religious publication commence* the new year in au entirely new dress, printed on eight pages instead of four, as formerly. This plan has been adopted in order to furnish a goodly quantity of secular and miscellaneous reading, to which the outside pages are devoted, while the inner pages embrace the same class of re? ligious topics which have characterized its columns heretofore, rendering it a welcome visitor to every Baptist household where it has beste introduced.

Soott's Message. I A brief synopsis of the special message of ? Gov. Scott, transmitted to the House of Rep I resentativs on Monday last, in respouse to a concurrent resolution askiug for- information I touchiug the recent disturbances in Spartan-1 burg and Union counties, will be found in the proceedings of the Legislature Wc regret that it is not in our power to publish the mcs j sage in full this week. Gov. Scott has admin? istered a just rebuke to that reckless spirit which seems to have animated the leading memhors of the House of Representatives, in demanding martial law and an equipment ofj the militia as remedies for these unfortunate troubles. He- recognizes, as every sagacious citizen does,, that a resort to such extreme measures would only aggravate the troubles and iUiCfease the extent of disturbances which have already subsided. He prefers to rely upon a more effective administration of the civil law to prevent a recurrence of violence and bloodshed, and in this determination every good citizen will support him. Wo believe that the civil authority, if properly adminis? tered, will prove adequate to maintain the pub? lic peace in even* section of the State, aud fur? ther believe that the armed bands of militia yet scattered over the State are more dangerous to that public peace than all the marauders and night-riders supposed to exist throughout the so-called disloyal counties. Let Gov. Scott have the nerve to do what was promised two months ago; and when the militia arms arc safely deposited in the State armory, the best aud most influential citizens all over the '?up-coantry" will more readily support aad maintain his efforts to protect the person and property of the most humble citizen. Until this menacing cause is entirely removed, Gov. Scott must chiefly rely upon his State officials, and only receive a tacit support elsewhere. " The Georgetown Times.?A few weeks ago Mr. P, C. Dozier retired from the editorial control of this journal, and announced his in? tention of removing to a distant land,. Wo IsarjOithat Mr. Dozier has been elected a pro? fessor in the California College, a Baptist in? stitution recently organized i'n Solano county, California. His accomplished wife has been elected to preside over the department of music, vocal aud instrumental, in the same institution. We wish them a happy sojourn in the El Do? rado of the great West. B. H. Wilson, Esq., has again taken charge of the editorial department of the Georgetown Times, and wc rejoice to know that the frater? nity is enriched by this accession to its ranks. His recognized ability and steadfast adherence to principle will command a large share of the honors acquired in newspaper life. -?> Advantage of Taking a Newspaper.? The following poetical effusion may be familiar to some of our readers, but it is worthy of rc : publication for the moral set forth, if the poetry \ is not so smooth : l'I knew two friend* as much alike as ever you saw two stumps, and no phre? nologist could find a difference Uk their bumps. One tooK a paper, and his life was happier than a king's; his children all could read and write, and talk of men and thing*. The other took no papers, aud while strolling through the wood, a tree fell down upon his crown, and killed him?as it should. Had he been reading of the news, at home, like neighbor Jim, I'll bet a cent this accident had not befallen him! So, if you want to be preserved, and live to a green old. age, sir, subscribe at once and pay in adva-uce for the Anderson Intelligencer ! ---.? The Weekly Union Times.?With the ! new year, our friend Stokes brings out his pa? per with a new heading and other improve? ments, making it one of the neatest journals in the State. Under his guidance, the Times has achieved a first-^la^s reputation* aud the peo? ple of Union will sadly neglect their duty and interests unless they fully sustain Mr, Stokes in his efforts to furnish them with an accepta? ble local organ. The Laureusville Herald, in referring to the great noise made in the Legislature about disturbances in the up-country, speaks as follows of the condition of affairs in that couuty : So far as Laurens is concerned, the people, both white and black, were never more quiet, and wc sincerely believe will remain so, so long as those persons who have been the cause of all the difficulty which has occurred in this county stay away from the place. There was an election held in this ph**e on Tuesdav lost for town officers. The white, and the black voted together and for the same ticket, and the utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed, and we conscientiously oelieve if the two peo? ple were let nlonc to work out their own desti? ny, that the former good feeling between them will speedily be restored. Those whose interest it is to create hostility between the two races for personal-political purposes are responsible for all the difficulties which have ever occurred in this county. "Let us have peace." - Extraordinary Powers.?The Columbia Union says: A bill has been introduced iuto, the Legisla? ture to confer upon the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and' the President of the Senate, the potCC? to call extra sessions of the General Assembly whenever, in their judg? ment, it shall be deemed necessary. We trust, hewevcr, that no such ridiculous propositions as this will receive serious consid? eration. While we have a Governor of the State, let stich duties as pertain to his office be discharged by bin. It will be time enough to confer this extraordinary power upon the two officer* named, when we shall' have abolished the office of the Executive. All Quiet in Union.?The Union Times has the following paragraph : We are pleased to state that our town ha.s j been more quiet and orderly than during any I Court week for many years. Since the raid j upon the jail by the disguised men, our citi ! zens have organized a strong guard, under j prudent officers, and have determined to pre i vent any similar occurrence. The colored ; people, also, join with us most cordially and ' I'lttcleuOy. i" protecting life and property, and general good feeling and quiet prevails between all parties. Wo. believe the storm has blown over, and we sincerely hope nothing will be done to disturb our peace again. I ?---?> - j The Nineteenth d-:x'Fi v,y,?This maga? zine has passed into the* hands id'.Wut (.?. Liv? ingston, Esq., who will hereafter conduct its editorial and proprietary affairs. The January number will be delayed until the loth inst., and the subsequent, tuynbers will appear about the 2?tlt of each succeeding month. This pe? riodical started under favorable auspices, and properly controlled it should nicyt with the ut? most, success. Jts late editor, U?;v. W. W. Hick?, has r?'i!io.ved t'? Mncoii, t^t. Salaries of School Commissioners. A bill "to regulato the salaries of School Commissioners of the various counties iu this State," prepared by one of the House commit- j tees, has been submitted tathe Legislature, and j provides: That on and after the pafsagc of this act, the j salaries of School Coinmissiouersof the various counties shall be as follows: For the counties j of Abbeville, Colleton and Orangeburg, each, \ the sum of one thousand dollars ; for the eoun-* i ties of Darlington, Greenville, Laurens, Marion, i Richland, Spartanburg, Sumter and York, each, ! the suss of eight hundred and fifty dollars ; for the counties of Anderson, Chester, Falrfleld", Georgetown, Kershaw, Nowherry, Union and WilHamsbnrg, eaoh, the sum of seven hundred dollars j for the emu ties of Clarendon, Chester? field, Horry, Lexington* Marlboro* and Oconec, each, the sum of five hundred dollars; for the county of Barnwell, eleven hundred dollars-; for the counties of Beaufort and Edgefield, each, the sum of twelve hundred dollars; for the county of Picken*, four hundred dollars; for the 'County of Charleston, eighteen hundred dollars. This arrangement is ontirely arbitrary, aud has no reference to the amount of labor required to be performed, the area of territory presided I over, or the number of schools or children to be supervised by the School Commissioner. The Columbia Union can see no good reason for such classification, and we agree with it. L\ nearly all of the counties, the salary of $1,000 now paid to each School Commissioner is an exorbitant sum for the work performed, and every one will rejoice to see a reduction. But we trust that our legislator* will not, under the influence of a spasmodic economy, impair the usefulness of worthy officially making an unjust discrimination for or against any county. Let there be au equitable distribution of the amount paid.out-in salaries to these Commis? sioners, and there can be no grumbling in any quarter. We like the suggestion made by the Columbia Union, as follows A still better plan would be to pay the Sciiool Commissioner ten cents per head for even' per? son in the county between the ages of six and sixteen years of age. The trustees of every district should be compelled to make an enu? meration of the children in their respective dis? tricts, between the ages of six and sixteen, every year, and from this enumeration the scholastic population would be accurately known, and upon it the salary of the Commis? sioner could be based. In no case, however, should it exceed $1,200 per annum. Such a plan as this would give, according to the last enumeration, Abbeville about $775, Anderson $650, Barnwell $500, Marion $770, Orangcburg $800, Spartanburg $712, ?umter $757, York $580, Clarendon $300, Richland $300, Darlington $2008 Chesterfield $175, and so on to the end. it is upon this plan that the School Comissioncrs in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey arc paid, and these two States have the best systems now in uso.

The House adjourned. Extra Pay to Judge Orb Refused by the Senate.?We make the following extract from the proceedings of the Senate on Thurs? day last, as reported by the correspondent of the Charleston Nact: The report of the committee on the judiciary on a joint resolution to allow Hon. James L. Orr compensation for extra services, was dis? cussed at great length to-day in the Senate, about two^iour* being given to "it. The report of the committee recommended that two thou? sand dollars be allowed. The evidence before the committee showed that during IStiO and '7U Judge Orr held court at Abbeville in August, 18G?, three weeks ; at Newberry, October, 1SG0, three weeks; at Edgoficld, January, 1870,throe weeks, and at Spartanburg, March, 1870, three weeks. The report also states that the com? mittee is opposed to extra allowances to salaried officers for services rendered ; but when, as in the present cnj*e, so mwch more service than ex? pected is rendered, it is but just that there should 1/fc-a proper recognition of it. The resolution was introduced by Mr. Whit temore, but gotten up by Mr. Wilson, from An? derson, who defended the report of the com? mittee. Wimbush opposed it. It was only a fc^days ago a resolution voting some one five thousand dollars for aiding the solicitors had gone through, and it was hard to lind out who got it. If the judges had failed to do their duty, they did not fail to draw their salaries. The Senate should refuse to pay any such accounts. Nash thought that they did nothing but leg? islate for lawyers and judges. Leslie urged that this resolution would only open the door for many others. He did hot oppose the resolu? tion itself, but he thought it contrary to the spirit of tho constitution. Nash got the floor again, and said he very much suspected that this changing from one circuit to another was an arrangement between the judges. Wilson spoke at length, and favored the claim a* a just one. lie was conservative, and in favor of hon? est claims, and thought this should be paid. Governor Orr had not anticipated this iucrcased work when he took the position* The discussion, as I said before, occupied much time, and the matter obtained much prominence?not so much on its own merits, as on its being an indicator of other like claims. Mr. Duvall, from Chesterfield, made a speech against it. At the close of what he said, the whole- matter was inaVsfijutely postponed by an -almost tie vote of IS*to 1'2. ? A correspondent of the Columbia Phoenix suggests that, as Speaker Moses has again be? come belligerent, that he be s?rf to Union county to raise the Stars and Stripes which he lowered at Fort Sumter. ? Ex-Governor Wilson Lumpkin, of Georgia, who died lately at Athens, in that State, at the advanced age of eighty-eight, was probably the oldest of all our living ex-members of Congress. He was a member of the House of Representa? tives as far back as 1815?fifty-five years ago. ? The Mexican Presidential contest of 1871 promises to be one of the most memorable in the history of that republic. The candidates thus far, in the field (and no more are likely to appear) are two iu number, Don Benito Juarez^ now President, and Scnor Lcrdo dc Tejada* his Secretary of State. ? The Augusta Coiittiluftoiinlht has been shown a bale of cotton, in a warehouse in that city, that was grown beft.ro the war, about eleven years ago. Having laid in the seed for along time, it presented a fine and oily appear? ance, seemed to be in a good state of preserva? tion, and was sold at the market price. ? The French have met another serious de? feat. The Army of the Loire?the last hope of France, and which under Gen. Chansey sought to relieve Paris?has been defeated in a bloody battle near Lemans. The fight Tasted all day on the 10th, and the French loss at 5 o'clock is reported at 15,000 killed, wounded and prisoners. A Prussian dispatch announce* that Chansey's army is broken up, dtsorgauized and retreating in three different directions, and that 20,000 prisoners were taken. A later dis? patch from London says that Chansey's army has been re-organized, and is about to resume operations*. THE MARKETS. Andkkson, Jim. 18, 1871.

It is lite* saying that an article which the world needs should be hid in a corner?that benefits and .Meet? ings may he too widely diffused?that tho means or pro? tecting aod restoring health should be a close monopoly, ahd D# accessible to all.

Instead of curing and invigorating millions, tho good eflects of tho preparation would have been confined, to a comparative few. There is the highest authority for saying that light should not be hid ander a bushel; that whatever is excellent should be placed as a city on a hill, where all men can take cognizance of it.
