We take'pleasure in announcing that the celebrated lecturer, Mr. Edward Carswell, of Canada, will deliver an address upon the sub? ject of temperance in the Court House on to? morrow (Friday) evening. The public are respectfully invited to attend, and we feel safe in assuring the community that a rare enter? tainment is in store for them, as Mr. Carswell has been highly complimented by the press wherever he has appeared before au audience in this State, and in his wonderful style of argument and illustration is said to rival the world-renowned John B. Gough. His mingled wit, humor and pathos entrance his hearers, while the moral sentiment embodied in his lectures, together with the powerful logic in which he deals, tend to convince the mind and ennoble the action of those within reach of his influence. We trust that a large audience will greet the distinguished orator, and espe? cially hope that the fair sex, by their presence and encouragement, will give an impetus to the cause of. temperance, and assist in arrest? ing the tide of dissipation and demoralisation bow sweeping over the land, and the tearful effects of which are to be seen alntost daily in this community. Good Templars. On Wednesday night, 5th of March, a Lodge ?f Good Templars was organized in this town, under the direction ef Mr, H. Bascom Browne, Deputy G. W. Chief Templar. It is known as CNeall Lodge, No. 27, and embraces about twenty-five members already, with the prospect of rapidly increasing its numbers. The organ? ization provides for the admission of ladies, and it is hoped that the fair sex will encourage our young men engaged in the cause of temper? ance by petitioning for membership in the Good Templars. The following officers have been chosen to serve the present quarter: J. Baylis Lewis, Wf C T. A. J. Watt, W. V. T. ( , W. N. Alexander, W. 8. John W. To?d, W. A.S-. John A. Beese, W. F. S. J. A. Daniels, W. T. W. G. Browne, W. C. Jas. M. Cathcart, W. M. Louis Sharpe, W. D. M. A. Summer Todd, W. I. G. W. W. Keys, W. 0. a Louis H.Seel, W.R.S. W. C. Andrew, W. L. S. Gen. J. IB. Kershaw. The last number of the Camden Journal announces that its editor and proprietor, Mr. John Kershaw, has relinquished its charge for fie present into the hands of his father, Gen. Joseph B. Kershaw, who will conduct the edi? torial department. While extending earnest wishes to the recent editor, whose ability and tact have been signally demonstrated in his brief journalistic career, we give a hearty wel? come to his successor, and congratulate the State upon his entrance on an important field of labor. In bis salutatory, Gen. Kershaw tersely announces the Hue of policy on which the pa? per will be conducted, and which receives our unqualified assent, viz: "We shall endeavor to hold, in morals and politics, a just conservatism, intolerant of false? hood, treachery and corruption, just to friend and foe, temperate in censures of those who may honestly differ from us upon public ques? tions, but fearless and firm in denouncing the wicked purposes and devices of unscruplous and selfish demagogues, who seek their advance? ment regardless of the welfare of the State. "Recognizing fully the vast changes of policy incident to the revolutions through which we have passed, and admitting the axiom that ac? complished revolutions become laws, we shall not contend against the inevitable, or struggle for the introduction into questions of the day, of truths,- which, however valued as sacred vindications of our part, have ceased to exist as practical issues. "We are quite aware how difficult it is always to repress the utterances of passion and preju? dice, even when contending for justice and moderation, but it shall be our effort to repress the former, in ourselves, while we rebuke them in others, and shall, at all times, seek to pro? mote the latter by precept and example." ? An effort is being made to establish a cotton factory at Erwin's Mills in Abbeville Couuty. Several men of capital and kuown euergy arc interested in it. Our Baltimore Correspondence. Baltimore and its Trade?The Inauguration of President Grant?The Military Display and the Grand Procnswn?Inaugural Ball, dec, Baltimore, March 4,1872. Mr. Editor: Baltimore has been unusually quiet for the past month. Merchants are busy receiving and arranging their stocks in the various branches, preparatory for the approach? ing spring trade. Within the past thirty-six bours, however, the streets and hotels have presented a lively appearance, thronged with visitors and soldiers from all points North on their way to witness the Inauguration. Train? have been passing through the city every boor on the B. & O. Bail road, heavily loaded with regiments of soldiers from Philadelphia, Pitts j burg, Boston, New York and other cities, North and West. In company with several other gentlemen from the city, I left on the 5.20 train this morn? ing, which carried sixteen crowded coaches at that early hour, and arrived at the capital in due time for the grand occasion. Working our way through the already thronged streets, we (reached the Metropolitan Hotel, on Pennsyl j vania Avenue, where we were served with an J elegant breakfast. The day was a bitter cold one, and the wind blowing from the north-east made it more disagreeable. Nevertheless, we determined to take a glance at some of the public buildings. After visiting the Smith? sonian Institute, Patent Office, United States Treasury, and lastly the memorable spot where President Lincoln was assassinated, when we were warned by "music in the air" that the time had-arrived for the procession to start from the White House, where it had been form? ing. We then made for the Avenue, down which it would pas3 to the Capitol. This thor? oughfare was now filled with thousands of shivering people. Every door, wiudow and elevated place where a view could be gotten was jammed. The Avenue, from the President's house to the Capitol, was most elaborately deco? rated with flags, streamers and insignias. The first and second divisions of the proces? sion consisted of military, including the cadets from West Point, the Midshipmen from Annap? olis, United States artillery on foot and a bat? talion of Uuited States Marines, the Old Guard of New York, Company A of the St. Louis National Guard and several volunteer organi? zations from this city. The third division, consisting entirely of United States troops, were commanded by General Upton, U. S. A., aud the volunteer di vision by Colonel Wm. G. Moore, of the Wash? ington Light Infantry. The fourth division, following the President, was under command of Colonel John M. Bacon, and included five bands of music. The fifth division, commanded by Colonel R. S. Smith, consisted of the Second Connecticut Regiment, the Fifth Regiment National Guards of tihe State of New York, the Third Regiment National Guards of New Jersey, aud the Fifth Maryland Regiment. The sixth division consisted of colored troops> who, with their bauds of music and drum corps, presented a highly creditable appearance. The remaining part of the procession was*divided into six divisions, and included various officials of the civil branches of the general and the local governments. The civic portion of the procession was massed by Deputy Grand Marshal William Dickson. The Chief of Police, with a large mounted s-imad, preceded the march, dressed in bright, new uniforms, and kept the immense crowd which thronged the avenue from en? croaching on the line of march. The pro? cession altogether?civic and military organi? zations?numbered at least 12,000, and made an imposing display. Nearly every organizatiou in the march was accompanied by an effective bniss band, and the route was enlivened by excellent music for a space nearly two miles in length, causing the spectators for the time to forget the intensely nipping atmosphere and clouds of sharp dust driven by the winds against their faces. At the centre of the third division, was "The President and the President-elect," as the offi? cial programme designated Gen. Grant, accom? panied by Senators Sprague, Logan and Bayard, in an open carriage, drawn by four splendid mouse-colored horses, with gold mounted har? ness, and a portly liveryman. Surrounding the carriage were the President's Mounted Guard, a volunteer organization. Next fol? lowed a close carriage, containing the Presi? dent's family. Miss Nellie, with the usual curiosity of girls of her age, was peeping through the glass window, and I would take her to be quite pretty, from a passing glance. Next came the old veterans of the Mexican war, in an ambulance, bearing their dilapida? ted old banner at the head. There was now an unbroken line of infantry, with glistening bay? onets; well mounted cavalry aud rumbling ar tilery?all handsomely uniformed, and each with its band of music and flying banners, which made a very imposing impression. One banner noticed particularly by the writer was an old United States flag, completely riddled | and torn in strips by bullets, bearing the words of "Gaines' Mills" on it. I suppose that youi as well as many other eld Confeds., remember too well that place. The President was repeatedly cheered by the dusty crowd, which he received with an un? covered head. The Capitol was so througed from early morning that it was impossible for any one but a celebrity to approach near enough to see or bear any of the ceremony which took place there. At two o'clock the procession began to return to the White House, the President at the head. On arriving there, the military were marched in various parts of the city, where they were entertained. Thou? sands of people continued to rush to and fro through the streets during the rcmaiuder of the eveniug. The Inauguration Ball was to be the next grand com?ng together, for which an immense building, 150 feet wide by 300 feet long, was erected purposely for the occasion, at a cost of $40,000, being lighted with gas and heated with flues, and every arrangement to make it a suc j cess. The centre hall was the ball-room, beau? tifully decorated with evergreens, flags, stream? ers and insignias, and gas jets made to repre? sent many figures. On the right was a large aud commodious supper room. The supper was in comparison with the other extravagant preparations, and was conducted by a caterer j from New York. On the left were numerous roouis?President's private reception and dress ing room, cloak room and others. At the op? posite end of the granci entrance was a rostrum for the President, Vice. President, members of Cabinet, &c. During ".he evening many per? sons were presented to the President. Among the most noticeable at ;he Ball, was the Japan Minister, escorting a lady in full dress of her country. The Cadets from West Point were also conspicuous (except Smith). The atten? dance of army and naval officers in full army dress was large. Very many members of Con? gress and Senators weri present. (Did not see Elliott and lady.) Music for the dancing was furnished by the West Point, Naval and Ma? rine Bands, stationed in different parts of the hall. Whilethe elite were feasting and dancing, the still lingering crowd were entertained in front of the Treasury Building by the firing of cannon and explosion of magnificent fireworks nntil a late hour in the night. Being now fa? tigued with the proceedings, we took our de? parture for the Monumental City. J. B. H. For the Andcrwn Intelligencer. The Teeth-No. 2. The second or permanent teeth are thirty two in number, including twelve not found in the temporary set, the six year molars consti? tuting a part of this set. The period at which they appear cannot be definitely stated, but the following table will give the average time and order of their eruption: # First molars.5 to 6 years. Central Incisors. 6 to 8 " Lateral ".7 to 9 First bicuspids. 9 to 10 " Second tf .10 to 11 " Canines...11 to 12 M Second molars.,.12 to 14 " Wisdom teeth.17 to 21 " It must be remembered that the eruption of the second teeth begins while the first set is yet in the mouth. If the child has never had any teeth extracted, these t eeth are supposed by the parents to belong to ths first set; and so, if de? cayed shortly after the?r eruption, no attention is paid to them, because it is thought they will soon have to make room for their successors, and before the mistake is discovered, the mis? chief is irreparable. Usually between the seventeenth and twen? ty-first year the third molars, or wisdom teeth, are erupted. There is generally but little in? convenience attending their appearance, but occasionally, when the jaws are crowded and there is not sufficient i oom for them, there is considerable swelling and pain, and sometimes sore throat, difficulty o? swallowing and severe constitutional disturbance. Under these cir? cumstances, lancing the gums and constitution? al treatment may be necessary, and in extreme cases, even the extraction of the tooth. The deposit, called tarter, which collects more or less about the teeth of all persons, differs very much in appearance, quantity and character. In different individuals, it is black, brorrn, green, yellow, or nearly white. Its presence is more or les s hurtful, according to its character and quantity. In some cases itti influence is exceeding pernicious, causing the gums to become swollen, inflamed and spongy; suppuration occurring about their margins, followed by their recession from the necks of the teeth. The gums become so sensitive that the use of a tooth-brush is exceeding painful, and on this account there is no effort made to keep the mouth clean. The tarter accumulates rapidly, and the result: s the destruction, more or less speedily, of the alveolar processes, and the loosening of the teeth until they drop out. These, however, are not the only results: the breath becomes feted, the secretions of the mouth are vitiated; indigestion, loss of appe? tite, affect ions of the eyes, pains in the ears, headache, neuralgia, and general derangement of the health lollow. That derangement of the digestive functions, and consequent impairment of the whole economy, may result from a dis? eased condition of the mouth, is too well estab? lished to require an argument. The presence of decayed teeth and roots, ulcerated or suppu? rating gums, accumulations of tarter, etc., must necessurily vitiate the secretions of the mouth, and cause irritation, me re or less severe, of the mucous membranes of -.he stomach. The ex? halations from a mouth so diseased may, and no doubt often do, produce an injurious effect upon the bronchial tul es and lungs, and may even be the exciting cause of consumption. These being facts, it is wonderful that so many otherwise intelligent people neglect their teeth, paying no attention to the condition of them, until an exposed nerve speaks with a voice that will not be silenced, announcing the mischief which has teen allowed to proceed unchecked. If, then, we add the probable preservation and usefulness of the teeth' for speech and raastieatioa till advanced life, the favorable impression made upon the general health by the ability thoroughly to masticate the food, the comfort of a pure breath and wholesome saliva, and the agreeable effect pro? duced upon others by the exhibition of a clean and healthy mouth, surely we have enumerated euough reasons to induce all to pay that atten? tion to them, upon which their appearance, preservation and usefulness depend. W. G. B. ? Charles Edgar Perkinson, better known in the South as "St. Maur," died in Buffalo, N. Y., on the 19th of February, in the 28th year of his age. St. Maur was a native of Peters? burg, Va., and was respectably connected. He died of consumption. ? Trains are now running upon the Air Line Railroad from Charlotte to thirteen miles West of Spartanburg. The road is nearly all graded, and as soon as the bridges can be built the track will be laid from several points at the same time, viz: From Spartanburg West; from Greenville East and West; from the Blue Ridge Railroad East and West, and from Gainesville, Ga., this way. It is expected that the road will be completed in June. ? The report of the Stale Treasurer of Mis? sissippi, recently published, shows that the expenses of the State Government for the past year were, in round numbers, one million three hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars, which is nearly a million of dollars in excess of the disbursement before the war, when the proper? ty basis of the State was four times what it now is; that the taxes are largely in excess of former years?and thai the condition of her finances is growing from bad to worse. ? At the request of the Chief Signal Officer of the Army, Prof. Tyndall, now in Europe, has consented to superintend the device and constructiou of au electrical instrument, to be used at the signal stations of the army, for the making'of regular and simultaneous observa? tions of the electrical conditions of the atmos? phere. It is hoped, from the immense rapidity with which electric changes manifest them? selves, a system of electric observation of approaching storms, far in advance of any hitherto had, may be established. 1 Index to New Advertisements.

Washington News and Gossip. Washington, March 9. It is supposed that the debate on tbe.Cald well case will continue two or three days, as four or five Senators are prepared to make speeches. The debate will be under the man? agement of Senators Morton and Sherman, of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. This is different from any other case of dispu? ted election ever considered or determined by either house of Congress. There are no pre? cedents in American parliamentary law in relation to the buying out of an opposing can? didate and his followers to secure an election to Congress, and, therefore, this case attracts much interest, particularly among the political lawyers. Not only are there many personal applica? tions made for offices, but numerous letters are received daily by the President and the several beads of departments. The mail brought more than 100 letters to Secretary Fish. It is known from official sources that there will be compar? atively few changes, and these for satisfactory reasons to the appointing power. Most of the time of the President, during last week, was occupied in responding to congratulations of a large number of visitors attending the inaugu? ral. Minister Meyer will soon leave Washington for Japan, but will return in the fall. It is held by the Post Office Department, that the recent decision of the Attorney Gen? eral, that double postage should not be collected at the office of delivery on the unpaid postage of letters partly prepaid by at least the full rate, does not apply to mailablc matter of the third class, viz: Pamphlets of occasional pub? lication, magazines, unsealed circulars, book manuscripts, &c. Washington, March 10. The Supreme Court, to-day, in Humphrey, et al., vs. Pegues, from the Circuit Court of South Carolina, decided that the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad Company, in South Caro? lina, is, by the laws of the State, exempt from taxation; and that the law of 1868, enacted to repeal this exemption, is void. The Court say it is too late to raise the question whether a State has the power to bind itself against im? posing taxes, for it has been held in this Court that a State has the power to bind itself in re? linquishing the taxiug power, and such a pro? vision of exemption is a contract which the State may not subsequently impair. The cases involving same priuciple were decided in favor of anti-tax. The diplomatic corps, in full court costume, called on the President to-day, to congratulate him on his inauguration. Many of them were accompanied by the ladies of their families. Several ladies of the Cabinet officers' housholds were present, and nearly all the members of the Cabinet were in attendance. The Republicans met in caucus, after the adjournment of the Senate, this afternoon, to consider the demand of the Democrats for in? creased minority representation on the commit? tees, and after some discussion, the matter was referred to a sub-committee of five, for a report at an adjourned meeting to-morrow. The sub? committee consists of Stewart, Conkling, Scott, Wright and West. The caucus reconsidered Saturday's vote, regarding the case of Patter? son, and decided not to take it up for consider? ation in the Senate?no action being possible, for the reason that Patterson is no longer a member of the party. General Dent, for the past four years in charge of the reception room at the White House, has been ordered to his regiment. W. H. Crook succeeds Dent. In the Senate, CaldwelPs case was discussed, but no action had. ? The Abbeville Press and Banner says : "Judge Cooke and the people of Abbeville seem to have been mutually pleased with each other. The Judge expresses himself as highly gratified with his reception here, and he was certainly the recipient of hospitalities from our citizens which arc not often extended to strangere. He has impressed himself upon our community as a courteous and affable gentleman, as well as a faithful aud efficient officer, and we hope that a better acquaintance will strengthen the sen? timents of mutual regard and esteem."

J March 13, 1873 36 1 NAPOLEON XXTTT. Sensible to the Last. A colored gentleman calling himself NAro leon 23rd, alias N. B. Gaillard, called at the "Little Man's" Store, a short time ago, to make inquiry about the "Stolen Hat," and wanted to know what Nigger stole it; and upon being informed, and receiving an introduction to "Huhbard's Nigger," immediately proposed ? trade for the Hat. The Nigger offered the Hat for one dollar, as it cost him nothing; and without a half dozen words Napoleon took the Hat on credit, and thought he was better ofF than the "Nigger," for he got it honestly, and the Nigger stole it The truth is, Hubbard is a little afraid that his Nigger will sell all hia Hats, as he don't care what they cost Hcbbard. He thinks it right to sell at some price. . Napoleon was so well pleased, he bought something else, and that seems to be the way they are all doing.
