A correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, writing from Spartanburg C. H., gives the annexed account of an extraordinary de? lusion among the colored race, under the iuflu ? enceof one of their leaders: For the last two years a negro preacher, by the name of Bobo, has been the spiritual head and adviser of one of the largest negro congre? gations in this county. His church is situated about twenty miles south of this place, in a dense negro settlement, and so great was his fame as a minister of the Gospel, that his mem? bers were found on all the neighboring, and some distant, plantations. Bobo is described as a negro of gross ignorance, but blessed with that profusion of speech so often found in his race. He is said to be a good workman, but of very loose morals in everything but the strict keeping of the Lord's Day, and an almost aus? tere observance of the forms of religion. He thus possessed all those qualities necessary for a leader of his people. We will see how he used his peculiar talent. During the last month a kind of revival has been in progress in Bubo's church, and a few days ago it culmi nated in one of the greatest religious demon-1 stratibns ever seen iu this country. Bobo, I from preaching Christ, went to preaching him- j self as "the new prophet high in favor."? I His doctrine was that the Lord had command? ed him to call together the children of Zion, and lead them to the promised land, distant but one hundred and sixty miles, and where they would have wings and could fly. After much exhortation and many midnight orgies, lie said that the command to march had been received, that his disciples must sell all they had, and without scrip or sword follow him. He thus persuaded some fifty or sixty to obey him. The poor deluded creatures sold crops, stock, and everything they had, at a great sac? rifice. One man sold his crop, said to be worth six hundred dollars, for one hundred and fifty dollars;, another sold a cow and calf for one dollar and fifty cents. Nothing could dissuade them from their purpose. They said it was the command of the Lord and they must obey. Just before they started the prophet said there was yet one thing more to be done. It was necessary to the success of the journey the old? est person among the faithful must be sacrificed, because be being the oldest can tell the Lord most .about any of us. On examination the oldest person was found to be a woman. She was taken and confined in an old outhouse until a stick of peculiar growth could be found, with which she must be killed. She did not seem to mind her danger, but rather to re? joice. She certainly would hare been a mar? tyr had it not been for the neighboring whites, who had to use some show oi violence to re? lease her. This was a damper on the prophet and his followers, but did not divert them from their purpose. Placing their smallest children and a few provisions in a two-horse wagon they set out on their march. On the march several. attempts were made to dissuade them from their folly, but without turning to the right or left, with eyes upturned they went on without making any answers. The last heard of them they were crossing-the mountains in the direc? tion of Tennessee. This may seem like fic? tion, but it is true; the witnesses are here, and I have written no more than what to-day can be heard in any crowd or in any family circle of this county. The exodus is the grand theme of conversation and the wonder of the people. Browklow's Picture.?Gen. D. H. Hill closes the controversy with Brownlow by paint? ing the following picture of his adversary's character, which leaves nothing unsaid upon the subject: His sooty majesty has never before known a character, which had such a charming combi? nation of all that is nbject? abhorred and abominable, of braggadocio and blatherskite, of blasphemy and beastliness, of cruelty and cowardice, craft and cunning, of defamation and detraction, of#demonism, duplicity and dastardliness, of double-dealing and double tonguedness, of envy arid exerbation, filth and falsehood, feculence and fiendishness, of fawn? ing on the strong and flouting at the weak, of greed and gambling, grimness and ghastliness, of hypocrisy and hideousness, of indecency and insolence, impudence and impiety, of jaundince and jealousy, of kleptomania and knavery, of leprosy and loathsonTeness, of malice and mendacity, malignity and murder, of nausea per se and noisomeness to others, of obscenity of tongue and obduracy of heart, of paltroonery ana presumption, priest-craft and pretentiousness, of quibbling and quarrel? someness, of roguery and rascality, ruffianism and remorselessness, of slime and slander, sham and shoddy, of theft and thugism, truck? ling and tyranny, of ugliness and uncleanness, of venom and vituperation, venality, vulgarity and vanity, of wrangling and wrong-doing, of yearningd for the back-salary steal aud yelpings of joy over the slaughter of his followers. Railroad Purchase.?Reliable informa? tion has been received that the directors of the Laurens and AshevilleRailroad Company have completed arrangements for the purchase of the Laurens Railroad between Laurens and Newberry, and will at once put the said road in complete running order. This road is to form a part of the Laurcr s and Asheville line. New iron is to be placed on the track and the road made first class in every respect. This attests the energy and enterprise which has become so thoroughly awakened in the upper part of the State. Hon. Joseph Crews has been unusually active and successful in his efforts to accomplish the building of this im? portant line. Laurens votes on Friday on the question of subscribing 8400,000 to the capital stock of this road. Greenville votes on the 20th on subscribing$150,000, while Henderson county, N. C, has already voted by a handsome majority to subscribe $150,000 to thi?s enter? prise.? Union Herald. The Rhett and Adams Families. The Savannah News mates the following statement concerning the family connection between the Rhetts of South Carolina and the Adamses of Massachusetts: 1 here is a tradition connected with the birth and career of the distinguished Robert Barn weh Rhett. At the time when he was in the United States House of Representatives, the chanpioa of the Southern cause, John Quincy Adf ms was his ablest and most conspicuous antagonist. We had often heard that these gifted men were descended from a common ancostry, and that there consequently coursed through their veins a kindred blood. We decried the report mere idle rumor, but subse? quent inquiry has satisfied us of its truth. It is a curious piece of American family history, worthy of publication, and is briefly this : Thomas and James Smith, brothers, were Englishmen who followed the fortunes of Crom? well. They were prominent as political writers on that side. They came to the Province of South Carolina in 1671. being attracted thither by ?".he restoration of Charles the Second. Thomas remained in the Province and became a ruling man. In 1691 he received from the British Crown a patent of forty-eight thousand acres land, situate in South and. North Carolina. From this immense estate in lands he acquired the, ;itle of Landgrave Smith, and by that namtt he became most generally known. In 1698 he was appointed governor of the Pro? vince; of South Carolina. Barnwell Rhett is a desce ndant in the direct line from this man. He belongs, we believe, to the sixth generation of his descendants. ? James Smith, the brother, was a dissenting clergyman. He soon moved to the Proviuce of Massachusetts. His grand-daughter (or it may be, his great-grand-daughter) married "Old John Adams" in October, 1764. John Quincy Adams is therefore a lineal descendant of Jaraei, the brother of "Landgrave Smith." Abigril Smith, the mother of John Quincy Adams, was one of the most remarkable wo? men 1 his or any other country has produced. A m:nd free from prejudice can scarcely read her history without coming to the conclusion that she was the most intellectual among the many intellectual women who have been mis? tresses of the White House. The descendants of Thomas Smith are very numerous in South Carolina, and there are many also in Georgia. Gen. Screven, who was killed near Midway, Liberty County, duribg the revolution, and after who Screven County in this State is named, was on the maternal side a descendant of Landgrave Smith. The intellect of these ancestors has, through many generations, been transmitted. Many of the ablest men of South Carolina, of the pres? ent and the past generation, trace their origin to Latdgrave Smith. A considerable per cent of the oldest and most famous families of that State are of his blood. The Adams family, for intellect of the highest order, associated, too, with the best moral worth, is, perhaps, an exception to the whole world in the transmis? sion of intellect from father to son, and from generation to generation. The Summer Death Rate Among Chil? dren.?Our opinion upon the pre-eminent value of a supply of pure, fresh air as a means for the reduction of the terrible summer death rate, is strikingly borne out by the advice con? tained in a pamphlet published in Philadelphia, addresued to mothers on this very subject. The directions are drawn up by a committee of the Obstetrical Society of Philadelphia, compris? ing men who stand highest in their profession in the treatment of children. The rules are simple, as all hygienic precepts are, and are therefore more apt to be disregarded. Some of them, indeed, are so commonplace that one would hardly think they would need to be gravel; laid down by a committee of medical men, b:it yet experience shows that it is just in regard to these commonplace matters that the greatest carelessness exists. These directions may be summarized as follows : 1. Perfect cleanliness is enjoined in every minute particular; the change of night and day clothing clean with each change. 2. A bed or cot, apart from its mother, for the child. 3. Plenty of fresh air. The baby should be taken to the park, the boats that ply up and down the rivers, the shady side of broad streets or pubi c squares; it should be kept carefully out of the room where cooking or washing is Soing on, and given plenty of ice water to rink. 4. The house should be kept scrupulously clean; walls white-washed; shops and garbage promptly removed, and the air purified by car? bolic acid or quick-lime. 5. The child, if sick, must be kept to the mother' i milk alone, or if that proves insuffi? cient, to goat's or cow's milk. There is no safe substitute for milk to infants who have not cut their front teeth. No child should be weaned, as a ruluntil after its second summer. The food which nature has provided wf 11 often save the life of a child when everything else fails. 6. Without the advice of a physician, no child should be given spirits, cordials, carmina? tives, or soothing syrups of any kind. Thou? sands of children, the physicians add, die every year from the use of these poisons. In other words, they need pure surroundings, pure food and pure air?the last greater than all?for when it is had, the former may be redily obtained.?Atlanta Constitution. Balky Horses?Balky horses are of two kinds, those which want to go too much, and those which don't want to go at all. The first is the nervons balky horse, the second the sulky balky hcrse. A good way to manage the first is to unhitch at the first manifestation of the evil spirit, and without any blustering or whip? ping, get on him and run him about three miles at the top of his speed; nine times in ten a horse will, after this treatment, when put in the vagon again, pull as steadily as the most sober-minded cart horse in the world. The best way to manage the second kind?in a worldly-minded point of view?is to trade him off. A favorite, but not successful plan, pur? sued with horses of either of these types, is to pound them over the head with the butt of the whip or with tho singletree/ This is useless, but perfectly natural. There is nothing in an? imated nature that can develop bad bile in a man to such an extent as can an animal of this kind. I once heard of a man who got a livery horse and went out to drive. The horse balked; the man lighted his cigar, and took out his news? paper, settled himself back into the cushions, and read iwo hours and forty-five minutes by the watch, until that horse got ready to go. The horse never balked after that. ? What is Honey.?D. L. Adair says : "There it; no distinct substance that can be called honey. Bees gather anything that has enough sagar in it to give it a decided sweet taste. Three kinds of sugar are recognized? fruit sugar, grape sugar, and cane sugar. They are all vegetable secretions and differ but slightly in their constituent elements. They only vary in the amount of hydrogen and oxy? gen (which are the elements of water,) and are convertible into each other. As ordinarily gathered from flowers, honey is a mixture o'f sugar and other secretions of plants, and it freequently differs widely in its comparison, depending on the source from which it is ob? tained. The peculiar scent and flavor of the honey is imparted to it in the hive by the ab? sorption of the musky particles given off by evaporation from the bodies of bees, a scent that all bee keepers will recognize who have opened a hive or walked among them of a calm evening." ? Poor Richard says: "I never knew an oft removed tree, nor yet an oft removed family, that throvd so well as those that settled be." ? If young ladies were born with those hor? rible bustles on their backs, they would be running all over the country hunting skillful surgeons to cut them off'. . A Long and Desperate Battle Between a Man ant> a Moccasin*.?A correspondent of the New York World, writing from Surater, S. C, gives the following particulars of a desperate fight between a*man and a highland moccasin, which took place in that vicinity a short time since : A most "exciting battle took place a few miles from this fcDwn a few days since between a well to-do farmer and a snake, described by the gentleman as a moccasin, perhaps of the high? land species. The gentleman, who is well knowu to me, and for whose accuracy and truthfulness I can safely vouch, was returning home from town with his wife and child in a baggy drawn by two spirited horses, when his horses stop ped in evident affright at the sight of a monster snake lying across the track some distance in front of them. Giving the reins to his wife the gentleman left the buggy, and se? lecting a piece of fence-rail advanced and struck the snake one blow, when the rail un? fortunately broke and left him defenceless.? The snake immediately dashed at him and ran him fiercely, until finding he was about to be overtaken the gentleman made for his buggy, which he barely reached in time, the snake springing up with great force against the wheel as he jumped in alongside his wife. In a mo? ment the gentleman had his buggy whip in hand, and with the butt of it had a desperate fight with the monster, which continued its determined efforts to effect an entrance to the buggy. The horses becoming uneasy and the wife dreadfully alarmed, the lines in her hands were somewhat relaxed, and the team made a spurt which at once carried the party a hun? dred yards from the scene of conflict. Looking back and finding that his enemy held the field and showed no disposition to run, the gentle? man again Ljft his buggy, and securing a stout and reliable club, returned and renewed the fight. As he advanced, aud when within a few feet, the snak'e sprung at him with distended jaws, when a well-directed blow laid him on the ground, where he was soon despatched. The snake was five inches in diameter and nearly nine feet long. Although the dog-days are considered as infusing more than ordinary venom and malignity into the serpent tribe, yet this furnishes one of the very few and certain? ly the most remarkable of instances in this section of a r.nake attacking and engaging in a persistent and continuous fight with a man, and showing no signs of retreat, but acting on the offensive, throughout, aud fighting to the death. The Philadelphia Masonic Temple.?A letter dated Philadelphia, August 8, says: "The Masonic Brotherhood of the Quaker City are making extraordinary preparations for the ded? ication of thsir magnificent temple in Broad street. Invitations have been extended to every lodge throughout the country, and many dele? gates are expjeted from France, Germany and England. The jubilee attending its completion will commence on the 25th of September, and will be k<jpt up until the evening of the 27th. The dedicatoi-y services will be conducted by the Grand M;ister of the State.of Pennsylva? nia, assisted by the masters and subordinates ef other lodges, and it is estimated that one hun? dred thousand members of the mystic tie will participate in the festivities. The temple is now in an advanced state of completion, and from its immense size and imposing style of architecture is one of the most conspicuous public buildings in the city. Much has been said by New Yorkers and Bostonians in praise of their respective Masouic temples, but it is now generally conceded that the Philadelphia structure far surpasses both as respects size, cost, and beauty. It will make two of that at Boston, and is a third larger than the temple in Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street. It is of such immense size, and is filled with so many lodge, chapter and coinmandery roomB, that to those uninitiated it is almost a labyrinth. It is composed entirely of finely dressed granite, of a whitish lead colored tint, is 250 feet in length, is 150 feet wide, and is three lofty sto? ries in height. The grounds upon which it is built, in Broad 6treet, near Market, together with the structure, cost the Masons upwards of twelve hundred thousand dollars. The archi? tecture of the building is a combination of the the old and new schools admirably blended. Cotton.?In his collection of essays ou "Sci? ence and Commerce, and their influence on Manufacture,'-' Mr. Simmons gives the follow? ing account of the first importation of raw cot tou to England from the United States: "Many years ago the senior editor of one of the lead? ing American papers was informed by his ven? erable friend, Mr. Samuel Maverick, of Pcndle ton, that when a boy, as a clerk in the house of his uncle, Mr. William Turpin, of Charleston, he assisted in packing the first bag of cotton ever sent to Liverpool from the United States. The cotton packed by Mr. Maverick was put up in the seed. This was long before Whit? ney's invention of the cotton gin. The con? signee of the lone bag of cotton informed the house of Wadsworth & Turpin that he could not sell it, thai; it was valueless, and advised them to send no mojj," All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? "Mary, my love, this apple dumpling is not half done. "Well, finish it, then, my dear." ? A young lady in Springfield dismissed her lover the other day because he said she couldn't bear arms. ? A debating society in North Carolina is engaged in discussing the difference between a horse-radish and a reddish horse. ? If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours. ? England in celebrated for its fogs, France for its frogs, Ireland for its bogs, Canada for its dogs, Maine for its logs, aud Ohio for its hogs. ? Young fellows on limned salaries who desire to .marry should emigrate to Japan, where one can live in luxury for five cents a day. ? A fellow who was arrested at Chicago for insulting women on the streets, plead that the current fashions had driven him crazy, lie was told to go in peace. ? "Oh! George, your sister is a nice girl, but she does dress her head up so!" "Yes," said George, "but its the fashion?there's noth? ing in it, you know." ? In polishing rub your tins with a damp cloth; then take dry flour and put on them with your hands; afterwards take an old news? paper and rub them with brick dust or powder. ? "Why do you set your cup of coffee on the chair, Mr. Jones ?" said a worthy land? lady one morning at breakfast. "It is so very weak, ma'am, I thought I .would let it rest." ? Professor S. A. King, of Boston, is build? ing a mammoth balloon, in which he proposes to ascend from Buffalo in about four weeks, and make the greatest inland voyage ever at? tempted. ? A little boy up town, recently entreated his mother to tell him some stories about bad boys, and upon her expressing astonishment, he said he "wanted to know how they got out of scrapes." ? The latest in tho way of self-praise is an Indiana editor, who played a few tunes on an old banjo, under the office window, and then thanked the serenader in his next issue for de? lightful music. ? A Pennsylvania preacher returned thanks, lately, for tho prosperous condition of the crop3, but carefully put in "Excepting, 0 Lord, the corn, which is backward, aud the oats, which are mighty thin in spots." ? When you see a man who is hastening across a street to avoid a team, step on a piece of mud, and lose his balance, and come to the earth, and tear ;he skin from both his wrists, and smash his head agaiuts a post, you want to shout as quickly as possible: "The more haste the less speed." Then you want to pick un your feet, and get out of that neighborhood like lightning. ? A young man who enjoys the sobriquet of "Frank," in parting with a young lady the other night, endeavored to impress his custom? ary kiss, when she forcibly pushed back his head, and said, "No, sir, you don't?the/rant? ing privilege is abolished." ? "What shall I give my boy to make him honored and respected V writes an affectionate father. Education and moral precepts were once required to accomplish this purpose, but nothing less than a diamond pin will now cover the ground. ? A town in Massachusetts is the proud possessor of a cat that picks up pins and puts them into a paper, whenever she finds one. After getting a hundred, she exchanges them for meat at the butcher's. The beauty of this tale is its undoubted, undeniable truth. . ? A county clergyman, paying a profession? al visit to a dying neighbor who was a very churlish and universally unpopular man, put the usual questions: "Are you willing to go, my friend?" "Oh, yes," said the sick man, "I am." "Well," said the simple-minded min? ister, "I am glad you are, for the neighbors are willing." ? Judge Wm. H. Cooley, who fell in the late New Orleans duel, was considered one of the best story-tellers in Louisiana, and he ex? ercised his talent to a wide circle of admiring friends. Ou his way to the fatal ground the morning of the meeting, he kept those with him in the railway train in constant roars of laughter. ? A talkative man annoyed a lady at a din? ner party by constantly arguing in favor of strong drink, and at last said to her: "You know, madam, drinking drives away care and makes us forget what is disagreeable; would you not allow a man to drink for that reason ?" "Well, perhaps so," said the lady, "if he 6at next to you." ? At the extra term of the Court recently held in Yorkville, several actions were tried, in which the suits were brought on negro notes, one where the notes were given after the date of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, others where the notes were given before that day. The result in both classes of cases was the same, the jury refused to give a dollar in payment for the negroes. ? The moral atmosphere of Chicago has permeated even to Kansas. We read that a strange lady stopped at a hotel in Oswego in that State, called in an able judge named Per? kins, who granted her a divorce at once, and in fifteen minutes afterwards she married an? other man. This idea of calling iu a judge, as if he were a physician, is something unique iu practice, but will doubtless become popu? lar. ? A young lady of Nashville is changing her views somewhat relative to the question of matrimony. She says that when she "came out" in society, she determined she would not marry a man unless he was an Episcopalian. Time passed on and she did not get married, and then modified her views, and concluded she would marry no man who was not a Chris? tian. That young lady is still unmarried, and says now that all.she is looking for is a man that don't drink whiskey. ' ? There is a $20 greenback at Wyandotte that has a history. It was paid by a bank in that city. At the latter doubts were raised as to its genuineness, and the bill was sent to F. E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States at Washington, whe relumed the bill stamped in two places "counterfeit." It was then returned to the Wyandotte bank, and unwilling to lose it was sent again to Washibgton for a re-exam? ination. A day or two ago the Wyandotte bank received advices that upon another ex? amination of the bill at the Treasury Depart? ment it was declared genuine. ? The Boston Traveller thiuks it somewhat remarkable that the "temporary insanity" so much spoken of in these days never incites its subjects to do benevolent deeds, but always works toward crime. "Several persons," it says, "who are extremely well-to-do have re? cently committed the highest criminal offenses. It has been proved that at the moment they were insane; it has also been proved that some of them at previous periods of their existence had exhibited signs of insanity; these being noticeable in some cases as to render confine? ment necessary; and yet no one of these per? sons was ever accused of having done a benev? olent deed while temporarily insane. It is somewhat strange that the effects of this tem? porary insanity should always assume the form of crime." REDUCTION IN PRICES !
