Mrs. Petigru Carson contributes to the last issue of Appleton'a Journal the following pleas? ant sketch of old St. Michael's Church and its chime cf bells: Very dear to the people of Charleston, Sooth Carolina, is St Michael's Church in that city, which iB said to have been built after a model furnished by Sir Christopher Wren, and copied from St. Martin's-in-tbe-Fielda, London. The likeness to St. Martin's is so strong that no Charlestonian, on coming to London, needs have that church pointed out. The spire of St Michael's, however, is mnch the more beau? tiful: Any one who had seen it wonld remem? ber the church, with its old-fashioned mahoga- j ny pulpit, and great brass chandeliers, and i high-back mahogany pews, where the devout i might pray, and the careless sleep unseen. But j chiefly, were the people proud of their bells, j There was no such chime in the colony when 1 they were hung, and, after they had changed their tune of God save the Xing for Yankee Doodle, there never were any bells in New York or Boston that came up to them in their j Fourth of July performances. Of all the I works of man's hands, there is none which seems to have such a life of its own as bells. How they sympathize with the people, giving voice to their joys and their sorrows ! How, with prophets' voices, they speak to each man in his own tongue. And how, sometimes, like mocking spirits, they urge the mad fury of the mob with peals of vengeance and triumph, which, in the ears of the wiser few, are a knell of despair. "When the British took Charleston in 17#0, they stabled their horses in the church, and, unhanging the bells, sent them off to London, where they were dumped on the Tower wharf, and left unnoticed for many years. At last, the vestry of St Michael's received a letter, bidding them expect their bells by a certain ship sailing from London. The people went in procession to bring op from the ship their beloved bells, which they had never hoped to listen to again, and with prayers and thanks? giving they were replaced in the church tower. The pious benefactor never made himself I known, but he was supposed to have been some British officer who had been at the taking of Charleston. For seventy years did those bells regulate the social life of the city. For, not only did they call to worship, and cele? brate all occasions of public joy add" sorrow. But nightly they rang a curfew which rulea everybody's movements. It was intended to warn the negroes home at nine o'clock in the winter, and ten in summer; after that hour, they might not go into the streets without a written pass. The nimble negro often eluded the statute, giving leg-bail to the "guardnian," but the whites put themselves under the rule of their own accord. AH visitors were expected to take leave at bell-ring, and they punctually departed at the same moment that Cuffy was brushing along to gain his gate , before the tap of the drum should make him amenable to the' law against strollers "after hours," as it was called. It would not suit this sketch to recall, the memories of the day. when the .United States flag lowered from Fort Sumter, was brought up to the city, amid a hush so general, one might have thought the people repented them of this rash act, till some one ordered the bells to ring a mad clamor, and with shoots' of exultation, they drowned the voice that still warned them to forbear. Time went on. and Charleston, behind her defences of sand, resisted all the efforts to carry her. During the 500 days of bombardment, all the lower part of the town bad to be aban? doned. Houses and churches were shattered. Yet the spire of St Michael's was untouched. Perhaps the cannoneers tried to spare it?per? haps good angels guarded it But, what nei? ther the malice of the enemy nor the spite of fortune did, the people themselves effected. For the bells were taken down and sent to Co? lumbia, to be cast into cannon. Gen. Beaure-1 gard, perhaps shocked at the desecration, pro? nounced them unfit for the purpose; and the ? fate which heaped up at Columbia for safe keeping everything of value in the State, there detained the bells also. Then Sherman's army passed through, leaving its track Is of lightning. A party of half drankeu soldiers, out for a lark and for plunder, were accosted by a negro, who offered to show them the bells which had rong in secession. "Never," said the men, "shall they play that tune again!" and they smashed them into a hundred pieces. Sad was the return to the desolated homes, and the meeting in the dumb church, to which no miracle might now restore the voice of the chimes they loved. But they were the ? men of pluck still,* and as soon as they had shaken themselves up and provided for the first press? ing need3, they resolved to tax themselves to the utmost to get a new chime. Scarcely had the rector bread, and the vestry and congregation were all very poor, but they wrote to C. R. Prioleau, of London, to inquire the cost of a new set This gentleman had lived 80 long in England as to have become almost f.n Englishman, with a fair English wife, and bluff, handsome English children, but his heart stirred at the recollection of the dear old voices that had called him in childhood, and he undertook the task with a loving zeal that brought about the most surprising results. There was no record at Charleston of where the bells came from. But Mr. Prioleau search? ed the directory for the oldest founders in the City, and went from one to the other until, at Meares & Co., White Chapel, London, a firm which has been in existence 300 years, he found by patient examination the record of bells cast for St Michael's Church, Charleston, S. C, in 1759. The proportions of the metal, and the 1 sizes of the bells, were all entered in the books; and the present Meares engaged to turn out a j new set, which, when hung, should make the Charlestonians themselves think they heard their old bells. But Mr. Prioleau was not con? tent with this ; he wrote back to have all the fragments that could be found scut out, and ' this was done. Meanwhile, Meares found still in their service an old man of seventy-six, who had been an apprentice under the very foreman who, more than one'hundred years before, had cast these bells; and he, stimulated by Mr. Prioleau's generosity, never rested till he brought to light the very original moulds for the castings. Into them the new metal was melted with careful distribution of the broken fragments, so as to make the illusion a reality. All that was wanting to make up the cast Mr. Prioleau added, ana the rewara of his perse ance and generosity was to send to the vestry these new bells, which are the very old ones still. Again did the congregation with tears and thanksgiving receive the bells from this their filth voyage across the Atlantic, and hung them up in St. Michael's steeple. May they never again be removed by the rough hana of war, or ever sound aught but peace on earth and good will toward men. Gen. Hampton on the False Education of the : Times. The recent address of Gen. Wade Hampton, delivered in Frederick' City, Md., is full of grand and noble thoughts. We give an extract on the subject of education, in which he urges the training of young men to become practical and intelligent farmers?: Of three pressing wants, the lack of proper education among our people, especially among the great body of our farmers and planters, it has been specified as the first and most serious. I am not one of those who measure the virtue and intelligence of a people by their ability to read and to write. There is; as much truth as poetry in the aphorism: "A little learning is a dangerous thing." The fatal mistake of the age, atleast in some portions of. this country, springs from the prev? alent belief that mere intellectual training is of itself sufficient for all the purposes of this life, without that better education of the moral sense, which can alone teach .man his duty to his neighbor and to his God. In the ceaseless unseemly struggle for place and riches which is debauching the moral" tone of so large a part of the populatio a of this country, all true edu? cation is neglected, and many young men are launched on the sea of life with intellects sharp? ened at the expense of all the higher faculties, which are left undeveloped and uneducated. The wild pursuit of wealth as the only object of life?"the cursed greed of gold"?leaves no time for the proper training of heart and soul, and too much of what is falsely called educa? tion has for its whole end to impart only such knowledge as will qualify its possessor to enter the mad race for power, wealth and other mere temporal blessings. The caustic words of the Roman satirist, describing that education which teaches that money is the chief good, are sadly applicable to many of our youth, who are taught in the^same school: i _ "Moke money ; honestly if you' can,'but, if not honestly, make money by auy means." ? It is this pernicious teaching that is making so many of the people lose their ancient ana hardy virtues, ana it is against this abuse of all high and true education that I now protest, not against education itself. It is undoubtedly a good thing to know how to read and write, but the mere possession of these rudiments of ' education profits a man but little, unless bis nobler Faculties are directed in the proper way ; and it is a mistake to suppose that because he can read and write he is a better man or more intelligent citizen. The Athenians, it may safe? ly be assumed, though the great body of them were without these acquirements, were quite as well versed in literature, science, politics and the polite arts, as the people of New England, whose boast it is that their system Of free schools has diffused education more -generally a mono the people than in any other country ; and the experience of every thinking man in the South will bear me out in the assertion, that in all the. elements which go to makeup true manhood?honesty, truth, honor, faith, courage'ana intelligence?our own people, all unlettered as .many of them, are, have proved themselves, in war as in peace, at least the equals of tho8?who pride themselves on their superior, education. But while these are facts jvhich .cannot be successfully controverted, it does hot follow that a proper education, a de? velopment of the full powers of body, of mind and of heart, should be-neglected, and it is in behalf of this higher and nobler education that I now appeal to you and through you to the people of the South. A Singular Collision and a Lightning Race. One of the most singular accidents in the annals of the railway occurred in this city yes? terday morning?startling the staid old town out of its propriety, and furnishing material for conversation during the succeeding twenty four hours,: Yesterday morning, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, as the engine M. P. Stovail?belonging to the Georgia Railroad Company?was coming down the railroad track, near the Augusta Factory, the engineer attempted to slacken speed, and the throttle, valve broke.- This accident caused the engi? neer to lose all control over the locomotive, and both himself und the fireman jumped from the train, as to have remained on board would have been to needlessly endanger their lives. The engine kept the track, and came rapidly along the track and into the Georgia Railroad yard. ? In the meantime the Ashl ey?a shifting engine belonging to the South Carolina Rail? road Company?had left the yard of that com? pany, ana was pushing several freight cars to Union Depot. When the engine and cars reached Jackson street the engineer and fire? man saw the M. P. Stovall coming rapidly to? wards them. As they leaned out of the side of the cab the Georgia Railroad engine struck the freight cars in front of the Ashley. The shock threw both the engineer and the fireman to the ground. The freight cars were badly crushed*, and the M. P. Stovall was thrown from the track with great violence, together with the tender. The tender fell very near the spot where the engiueer of the Ashley lay, and the latter only escaped death by a few inches. Before the engineer jumped, however, be Re? versed his engine; the shock broke the draw bwy the engine and.tender were loosed from the cars and began to move rapidly backwards down Washington street and towards the Sa? vannah River. The engine and tender were now free?the engine reversed, the throttle valve operj^ and the engineer and fireman lying ou the ground. The farther it went the faster was the rate of speed. It weut down Washington street like Dexter or the Americau Girl on the home? stretch. The early risers were astonished aud alarmed, while a few sagguine Greeley men, who had not lost all ? hopej imagined that the Liberal Republicans had carried Dade County and the Ashley was carrying the returns to Washington City. Near Reynolds street, a hand car, belonging to the Carolina Road, came around the corner. In the car were sev? eral workmen, a quantity of boards and car? penter's material, and a long and very heavy stick of timber placed lengthways, and hang? ing over a little in front. When the men saw the locomotive coming they smelt danger, and after attempting unsuccessfully to get the car off the traci, they made a most rapid and mas? terly retreat. The tender struck the beam, which ran under it, wedged itself firmly to the car, and carried the latter on with it. The Ashley and its new attachment weut through the railroad yard like the comet. Fortunately the track was clear and the switches all right, and it dashed over the bridge and across the river without let or hindrance. The runaway ' machine did not stop until nearly three miles . from the bridge, when the steam gave out and it came to a halt. When the engine had pass-1 ed the bridge, Col. Meredith?manifesting his I usual energy and vigilance?dispatched a Jiand car after it, and the fugitive locomotive was brought back to the city in safety. No damage was done except to the M. P. Stovall, which fell from the track, and the freight cars, which were crushed by the collision. It was thu most novel runaway accident on record.?An gusfa.Chronicle and Sentinel, Nov. 9th. ? Reformation in Farming. It most be evident to every observing man that the prosperity of our country depends ab? solutely upon the development of its agricul? tural resources. It is vain to preach political reformation. The reformation which we need, most of all others in this country, is an agri Cultural reformation. The old way of cutting and slashing .and tearing things all to pieces must come to and end; and the sooner the bet? ter. Facts demonstrate that this is a good land. The soil, whilst it cannot be said to1 be naturally as rich as that of some other coun? tries, is susceptible of indefinite improvement; and the climate is proverbially healthy. All we need in this country is skillful and energet? ic cultivators of the soil. We do not urge our people to set their souls on wealth and nothing else; but there is a poverty which is not only oppressive but disgraceful. At present, the agricultural portion of the South Is at the mercy of speculating rings and manufacturing cliques.' We are forced to sell our crops as soon as they are gathered, it matters not- what may be the state of the market. Not forced by these rings and cliques, but forced by our ne? cessitous condition. If the planters,and farm? ers of the cotton-growing States were only bnt of debt,' things would wear a different aspect. They could sell their cotton when the manu? facturer and speculator would give tnost for it Now the man who should control the manufac? turer, is himself controlled by his own squalfd poverty. It is a vain delusion in men to Bay or think that "cotton is king," so long as the men who make it are forced to sell it at any price to hnsh the clamorings of creditors. Generally speaking, our planters are not aware of the position which they occupy- in society. Whilst they are in reality first in im? portance, they are content to occupy any posi? tion that those engaged in the other avocations of life may see fit to assign them. This is'aJ.l wrong. The man who makes the bread that feeds the hungry, and the material that clothes the naked, ought to both feel and assert his im? portance. Our planters are, as a role, not addicted to investigating the principles of their .calling. The merchant devotes all the energy of his soul in devising , plans, and schemes hy which he may be enabled to make/inVaeles larger and profits greater. The manufacturer; does the'same thing; but our planters are content to just go along in the old way. If there is anymari who ought to be learned; it is the man who tills the soil. This is not the general im? pression. We need a reformation in this re spec't. We need men to till the soil who:are able to give a reason for what they do. How many men would be able to give an intelligent answer if asked why they plow? Many would no doubt say they plowed corn to kill grass and cut the roots of the corn. We do not doubt that many who have plowed all their'fives never thought for one moment anything about the philosophy of plowing. The whole opera? tion to them is like talking with a parrot. We need a reformation in this country in thisre spect. Ignorance will prove our ruin. Muscles, in their place, are good things; but the muscles of an ox, without an enlightened head to di? rect them, will not accomplish much. The days of brute force are numbered in this coun? try, and the man who depends upon it will soon get hopelessly behind the age.? Torkville Enquirer. Providentially Directed.?Among the attendants of a late Methodist Conference was a very beautiful and intelligent looking young lady, who drew the admiring gaze of many eyes, particularly eyes masculine, always on the lookout for femjnine faces. During the inter? mission at noon, a spruce young minister stepped up to the' presiding elder and. said, with an air of secrecy: , "Did you observe the young lady who sat by the first pillar on the left?" "Yes," said the elder, "what of her ?" "Why," said the young man, "I feel im? pressed that the Lord desires me to take that lady for my wife. I think she would' make a good companion and helpmate in the work of the ministry." '"' 1 ?. '' The elder, as a good Christian ought, had nothing to object. But in a few moments an? other candidate for ministerial efforts and hon? ors, and for the name of husband, came confi? dentially to make known a like impression regarding the same identical young lady. "You had better wait awhile. It is not best to be too hasty in determining.the source of such impressions," said the prudent elder. And he said well, for hardly were the steps of the second youth cold at his side, ere a third approached with the same story, and while the worthy confidant still marvelled, a fourth drew near with the question : "Did you notice the fine, ,noble looking lady on your left ?" :. "Yes," cried the swelliritelder. "Well, sir,'^. went on the fourth victim of that unsuspicious girl, "it is strongly borne in upon my mind that-it is the will of the Lord that I should make proposals of marriage to that lady. He has impressed me that she is to be my wife." The elder could hold in no longer. "Impossible! impossible?" he exclaimed, in an excited tone, "tne Lord never could have intended that four men should marry that one woman I" A Gifted Membhis Lawyer Who Edited Two Papers, Both Dau*.?Ajj antiquated writer in -the Memphis Avpeal has dug up out of his memory the Allowing rich; story. The young lawyer referred to\js stiU flourishing in Memphis: "There was never greater local excitement than that which grew out of this infernal navy-yard business.. Half the people were An favour of accepting the property, and half o*-?bretopposed to it?-, the latter thinking that "trre-.Goyernment might be induced even yet tomake liberal appropriations and perfect the navy-yard, and build ships and steamers here-^ne a morning publication edited by a gentleman of no ordinary ability .named Bank head, who was tragically and mysteriously assassinated "some six years ago. There was another, an afternoon paper, called the News, (I believe that was the name,] edited by a man named Yancey. t 'Bliese editors op?>ietfon& another on the navy-yard question; and' their discussion had begotten a'good deal of excite? ment, when both went away for the summer, and each without the other's knowledge cm ployed the same man{ this young lawyer to conduct his -paper in his absence. The young limb of^jhe law naturally enough took to both sides of/jj^e question. He made the controver? sy between the two papers hotter and hotter each successive day. Crowds gathered each about the News office, and somebody expected that the two furious editors would shed blood. The coining duel in Arkansas was confidently anticipated, and the ferocity of the two papers was; marvelous. Popular excitement was iqr tense when Bankhead came hurrying hprae from Virginia, and Yancey from Alabama, each thinking the other was about to murder his own substitute. Such was tho fervor of popular feeling and exasperation that the story was necessarily kept quiet. If the mischevious fraud upon the public passion had been exposed at the time, the deceiving editor would have bceu hanged to a lamp-post. ? An effort will be made to have a law passed at the coming session of Congress cm powering the President to accept the resigna? tion of any United States Judge mentally or physically incapacitated for duty, on a pensiou, without regard to age or length of servica. The present law provides that a pension may only be given to Judges seventy years old and upward, and who have sat on the bench ten years. There are numbers of Judges unfit to act, but who are not disposed to relinquish their positions while they have a right to re maiu on the bench and draw salary. , GRAND DISPLAY of FALL AND WINTER GOODS AT C.
