Blank Liens just printed and! for sale at this ; offioB* Hugh Wilson, Esq., the junior editor and proprietor of the Abbeville Press and Banner, was in our town on Friday last. The shipments of cotton from the Anderson Depot from the 1st of January, 1873, to the Tat of January 1874, amounted to 13,348 bales, which is an increase of 3,199 bales over the previous year.

We would like to double our subscription list the present year, and would respectfully ask our friends to aid in the matter. The homicide reported in our last issue oc? curred in Greenville, and not in Anderson j County, as was stated; Mr. Holliday lived at | the Cooley place,, and it was there the difficulty j took place which ended in his death. ? Messrs. B. F. Crayton & Sons last week killed j the. large hog exhibited, at the recent County Fair* He- weighed 607 lbs. net. which makes him rank as the largest hog ever slaughtered in ! Anderson County. Another hog killed at the same time weighed 384 lbs. net.. ? Capt? James B. Moore iu?s moved into Ander son,.and now occupies the residence belonging to Mr. A. M. Neal, in the eastern part of town. His brother, Mr. Samuel E. Moore, has recently purchased the house opposite Mr. J. F. Clink scales' residence, and will shortly occupy it. The brothers Moore are engaged in buying i cotton this season. The street lamps are proving a success, and we-have heard many expressions of praise be? stowed' upon the Town Council for this im? provement. The public square and some of the principal points adjacent thereto are illu? minated every night, to the gratification of pedestrians in this rainy weather, and for the better security against the depredations of burglars, A couple of hale and hearty young Germans arrived here last week, sent from the immi? gration agamey of Maj. F^Melchers, of Charles? ton, and consigned to Dr. Jasper Browne, of tfiis County. A number of immigrants, order? ed through Maj. Whitner, will probably arrive the latter part of this week. Orders have gone forward for upwards of thirty men, women and boys, and the interest is daily increasing among the farmers. The closing exercises of the week of prayer were exceedingly interesting and* very well attended by the several denominations. The meeting on Thursday morning took place at the Episcopal Church, and the services were conducted by Rev. P. F. Stevens; on Friday j morning, at the Baptist Church,, by Rev. W. I W. Mood, and on Saturday morning, at the j Methodist Church, by Rev. L. M. Ayer. On I Sunday night, the congregations united in wor-J ship at the Baptist Church, when an able and j Instructive sermon was preached by Rev. J. S. Murray, from the text suggested by the Evan-1 gelical Alliance. The Berger Family of Swiss Bell Ringers, I announced to perform iu Anderson on the 7th j inst., failed to reach here at the appointed time, owing to the detention of the passenger train that tfoy. The Masonic Hall was brilliantly j lighted, and a considerable audience: had as Bembled, when the news reached here that the troupe had gone to Greenville to spend the night. The disappointment was very great to the people of this town, where the Bergers are j especial favorites, and the only consolation is to know that the managers promise to give us a call at some futore day. Dr. John A. Bark^dale, Lecturer of the State Clrange, has organized five Granges in Ander- j ion County during the past week. On Friday I morning, at Wright's Store, Craytonville Grange was organized, with S. M. Trible as Worthy Master and G. M. McDavid as Secre? tary. On Friday afternoon, Neal's Creek j Grange was organized, at the residence of Mr. I J. A. Major, and a list of its officers is pub- [ lished in this issue. On Saturday, in the Fork, Double Springs Grange was organized, with Dr. W. L. Broyles as Master and J. Harvey Routh as Secretary^ On Monday, a Grange was organized at Cbpcord, three miles north of this place, and on Tuesday one at Beaverdam Church, eleven miles northeast of Anderson. There are twelve subordinate Granges in this County. Extension of time. The Columbia Phoenix states that Gov. Moses has ordered the County Treasurers to extend the time when the penalty attaches for non? payment of taxes to the 5th of February. It seems to be understood in Columbia that the Governor possesses the authority to make the extension, although a different impression has been wide-spread throughout the State. All the tax-payers want to know is that the time allowed is reasonable and sufficient. The order of the Governor will tide over the present difficulties, but the taxes in Anderson County cannot be collected within that time, and we think it the duty of the General Assembly to grant a further extension until the 1st of March. Our County Treasurer and his assistants have been kept busy for the last three days, and .many anxious tax-payers have waited hours at I the door, feeling an uneasiness until-their turn 1 came to settle the demands against them. I?- Rev. W. D. Beverly, late of Anderson | S. C, has accepted the pastoral charge of the Baptist Church at Crockett, Houston Co., Tex- j as, at which place his friends and correspon? dents will please address him from this date, instead of Marshall, Texas, where he has been j located since he left this State three years ago,' Carolina Male and Female Collegiate Institute. .The second year of this institution* formerly known as the Carolina High School, will begin on Monday; 2nd of February, with a full corps of experienced teachers, comprising ladies and gentlemen of thorough qualifications and emi nCht attainments in their professions; Among the additions to the Faculty, we have already noted the engagement of Rev. P. F. Stevens, for many years connected with the Military Academy in Charleston, whose reputation is equal to- the- best educators in the State. An? other most valuable acquisition is that of Miss Lizzie D. Lewis, lately of Albemarle Co., Va., who is'most "highly recommended by Rev. Dr. Broados, of Greenville, which is a sufficient guarantee as to her fitness for the position, j Other changes and additions have been made, and we may confidently predict still greater sucees for this Institution, which has already attained an enviable reputation among the prominent institutions of learning in this sec? tion. Prof. W. J. Ligon is the Chairman of the Faculty, and it is wholly unnecessary to add a word of commendation for him, as the people of this section are fully aware of his capacity and long experience in the arduous duties of the school-room. We can safely affirm that the present arrangement offers supe? rior inducements for the thorough training of boys and girls, and firmly believe that the fu? ture will justify the wisdom and propriety of adopting the system, which is no longer an experiment, of the co-education of the sexes. ! Any further information as to rates of tuition and board, not contained in the advertisement of the Institute, can be readily secured upon application to Prof. Ligon, who will take pleas? ure in forwarding circulars with full particu? lars. ?!-? ? ? Hon. Caleb Gushing Nominated for Chief Justice. Th9 country was taken by surprise the other day when President Grant withdrew the nom? ination of Attorney-General Williams for Chief Justice, as it had been understood that Grant proposed to adhere to his choice, and force the Senate to assume the responsibility of rejecting , Williams' nomination. But a greater surprise awaited the country, when the nomination of Hon. Caleb Cusbing, who was so recently con? firmed as Minister to Spain/to be Chief Justice of the United States, was received iu the Senate. The feeling awakened, howover, was an intense gratification and satisfaction at the new selec? tion of the President The nomination of Mr. Gushing was referred to the judiciary commit? tee, and reported upon favorably to the Senate. Mr. Cushing was busily engaged in making preparations for his departure to Spain, and the nomination for Chief Justice was made entirely without his knowledge. He is now 73 years of age, vigorous in mind and body, and eminently fitted by his legal attainments and experience for the distinguished position of Chief Justice. He has been identified with almost every political party during his public service of fifty years, and lately has been looked upon as a sort of moderate Republican, rather disposed to ignore partisan politics The Senate will dnubtlessconfirm the appoint? ment, and, thus end the much-discussed ques? tion as to Chase's successor. Dwelling Burnt. We regret to chronicle the total destruction by fire of the residence of Capt. James T. Barnes, of this County, on the Lowndesville road, near the Abbeville line, which occurred at an early hour on Saturday morning last.. It appears that the fire originated in the kitchen part of the house, and had made such progress when discovered that it was impossible to save the bnilding. Scarcely any of the furniture or wearing apparel of the family was rescued from the flames, and it was with great difficulty that the children of Capt. Barnes were 3aved from an awful death, as the roof was falling in be? fore they were rescued from their perilous sit? uation. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been accidental, and the total loss is esti? mated at $1,500, upon which there was no insurance. The residence was commodious and conveniently arranged, and we sincerely sympathize with our excellent friend, whose hospitality and kindness we have experienced. Fairbanks' Standard Scales. Fairbanks received the Medal of Progress at the Vienna Exposition?the highest prize given any manufacturer of weighing machines. This is a compliment, and one well merited, but better than all prizes is the award of the entire weighing world, which considers Fairbanks* Scales the. standard. In spite of largely in? creased facilities for manufacturing, (their manufactories covering over ten acres of ground,) the Messrs. Fairbanks find that 1,200 Scales weekly, or 60,000 per annum, do not meet the present demand. Using the best materials, employing skilled and experienced workmen, and giving personal attention to the manufacture of the Scales invented by them, it is not surprising that they lead the world in the service of weighing. Messrs. B. F. Crayton & Sons are the agents for Anderson Connty. Death of Mr. Richard Wearn. The Columbia papers chronicle the death of Mr. Richard Wearn, the well-known photog? rapher of that city, who committed suicide on Friday moraing last, by shooting himself through the head, while laboring under a temporary fit of insanity. The circumstances of his death are truly mournful, and awake the sympathies of a large circle of friends throughout the State for his deeply afflicted family. Mr. Wearn was a resident of Ander? son for several years when he was a young man, and always maintained the respect and confidence of our people. He was kind and generous in his disposition, and possessed the power of making friends innumerable wherever he went. He was a native of the Isle of Man, and was about forty-five years of age.

Mb. Editor : The many readers of your fine County paper were delighted to be able to wel? come it back again to their homes and firesides, for it is to them a messenger of joy and comfort. It was natural that you should have desired a ?h?rt respite from your monotonous labor, du? ring the Christmas holidays; and you were certainly justifiable in yielding to that inclina? tion. But Christmas has past by; and, alas! an? other year has come and gone I A new year has dawned upon ns; and it is to be fondly hoped that new life and energy may come along with it, and arouse our people to re? newed exertions in all the praiseworthy voca? tions of life. It has been a time-honored proverb, that "experience is the best of teachers," and there is none other more pregnant with truth. In? deed, the sad experience of the past year, in regard to the cotton crop, should be a solemn warning to all who would depart from a course full of danger, and pursue one not so hazard? ous, but much surer to lead to ultimate success. Let the honest farmer not become so reckless an adventurer as to run the fearful risk of being deprived of house and home, and of seeing those who are dearer to him than life thrown upon the cold mercy of this rude world, simply in consequence of having ventured all oh the success of one cotton crop. This is no idle talk, for many have been the sufferers by the inordinate passion that has seized our planters for letting everything be sacrificed to that wonderful thing they are pleased to term King, and which has really become a god, to which they bow in humble supplication morning, noon and night! Now, it is quite true that cotton can be so used, or managed, as to have it become a power in the land, even more potent than it at pres? ent is; but this laudable end cannot be at? tained by our enslaving ourselves to it. It should be made the grand ground-work of the wealth and commercial greatness of the South; but it should not be allowed to stride over the once fertile plains of this now fated region, making them barren wastes, by absorbing all substance from the soil, whilst nothing is returned by way of recuperation. One who has spent much time in the lower part of this State can see the fatal effects of this disastrous course very plainly; but it is not con fined to that portion of the country entirely. \ Even here, around Williamston, the baneful influence of the raging mania is making itself felt. It is almost incredible that the extensive cultivation of cotton is carried on within sight of the mountains ? From a lofty eminence in this town the eye can easily discern the snow? capped peaks of the Blue Ridge; and yet, wonderful to tell, numerous fields are to be seen, here and there, covered over with white particles, resembling snowflakes! Yes, it is true that, instead of retracing his steps, the powerful king is steadily on the advance, and has well nigh extended his vast dominions to the base of the mountain range. He has sub? dued fertile fields, and chased away the well fed cattle from the green hills; and now, alas! he is even prepariug to enter upon another bold campaign, in which he proposes to climb the mountain heights, to win for himself new dominions in a new land, and to erect a lofty throne upon some towering peak, which rears its head proudly into the sublime regions of perpetual snow I But even there, reigning in his palatial mansion, constructed of smooth slabs of crys? tal ice, as polished as the costliest white mar? ble, and as durable as the Egyptian pyramids, he will not be content. Alexander the Great, after he had become master of Greece, Persia, India, and many other countries, actually wept because there was not another world for him to conquer. Just so will it be with the blood? thirsty tyrant, who is now subduing the New World. He will descend from his crystal pal? ace and begin his second grand campaign. The wide extent of prairie land between the Allegbany and the Rocky Mountains will fall an easy prey, for the ranks of the invader's hosts will be alarmingly swelled by myriads of recruits from the Mississippi valley. Thus re enforced, no human obstacle can impede his progress; and, like the great Napoleon, he will penetrate the mountain fastnesses in the dead of winter; and, like the renowned Hannibal, he will descend upon the smiling fields that are blooming with all the freshness and rich? ness of the once famed vales of Southern Italy. The burning of ten thousand Moscows could not turn him from his determined course; and the raging flames would only serve to cheer on the ruthless invaders to the perpetration of crimes, such as are not committed by humane foes, even in the dread hours of midnight darkness I There would be no Fabius to check their onward march by his strategy and skill, despite the murmurings of an ungrateful Senate, and soon the tyrant would be standing in the blue wafers of the broad Pacific, not commanding them to be chastised with a chain, but slashing asunder, with his huge sword, the spark-crested waves of the angry deep 1 Now, the true friends of liberty will suppose that the despot's ambition has been at last gratified; but they will, ere long, find this hu? mane supposition to have been ill-founded* No success, however great, could satiate his unbounded passion for conquest. Such, alas 1 is the fearful doom with which the New World is threatened by this king of tyrants I Such is to be the bloody reign of him whom all now delight in praising, but who will, ere long, throw aside the pure, white I garb of innocence, with which he dcxtrously conceals his iron heart and bloody designs ! Oh, ye immortal gods! turn from us this cruel fee, and preserve us from this dreadful doom! Bid us raise the battle cry of Liberty, and hurl this arch-fiend from his lofty throne { and on our hearts we will engrave, in letters of gratitude, a lasting remembrance of thy infi? nite goodness and mercy; and we will solemnly warn succeeding generations to adopt the noble motto, which breathes in its every accent death I to tyranny, and which is to be seen on the es? cutcheon of the proud "Mother of States and of statesmen :" Sic Semper Tyrannii. EVIL SPIRIT. ? The message of the President to the Sen? ate withdrawing the nomination of George H. Williams to be Chief Justice states that is done at his own request. As Williams remains in office as Attorney General, the nomination of Colonel Bristow for that position is, in another briof message, consequently withdrawn. I For the Anderson Intelligencer. Slabtown, Jan. 12,1874. Mr. Editor: We notice in your last issue a communication from the Worthy._Master of the Pendleton-Grange to the Patrons of Hus? bandry of Anderson County, advocating the policy of organizing a Council of Granges, to be composed of the Master and Overseer of each Hubordiuate Grange. As Master of the Slabtown Grange, permit me briefly to'ptate that the proposition made is believed to be a good one, and will no doubt, as a Grange, meet our hearty approval and concurrence. It may not, however, be exactly in-conformity with the rule's and regulations of the National Grange and'the State Grange, under whose jurisdiction we are placed. But be this as it may, that there be unanimity of action among the members of subordinate Granges, such a movement is certainly essential, and, in our opinion, eminently proper. Merchants and physicians, professional men and mechanics, of every kind, appreciate fully the advantages accruing from complete organi? zation. Then let us, as farmers, adhering at the same time strictly to the intents and pur? poses of our Order, see to it that at an early day such a council be organized, and that in it there be union, concert, and singleness of pur? pose; that, if in union there is strength, so in this organization ends may be aimed at and effects produced which, in the future, will re? lieve the farmer from that industrial thraldom to which he has been subjected in the past. Let the proposition be submitted at once to all the Granges in the County, and a day ap? pointed by some member as best suited for the first meeting of the Council. J. P. GLENN, Slabtown Grange, No. 141. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Christmas Festivities. The neighborhood of old Slab Town was enlivened by a pleasant, social party at the residence of Mr. T. W. ft., during the Christ? mas holidays. Mr. R. had abandoned his home during the sickly season, and had not since re-occupied it, but gave his permission for the .young folks to use it as aforesaid. About twilight the votaries of pleasure began to ar? rive, and when Noah's Ark arrived the com? plement was about made up. Although the number of the party was not large, the repre? sentation from different points was rather re? markable?Greenville, Anderson, Pickens, Al? abama, Georgia and Texas?each had their representations, and the belles and beaux of Slab Town and Piercetown rivaled each other in extending a hearty welcome to their friends from abroad. Sweet music was discoursed on | the violin, and many of the party "tipped the light fantastic toe." The old folks strolled around as spectators, and being one of that j number I take great pleasure in recording two striking characteristics of this youthful assem? blage. First, the early hour at which the party retired, (not later than 12 o'clock,) and secondly, the entire absence of intoxicating liquors among the young men. Everything passed off with propriety, and however old folks may differ as to the kind of amusement most becoming such assemblages, all agree that some kind of innocent amusement is necessary, and if our young people will more generally adhere to the two striking characteristic of the Slab Town party, in their social gatherings, mnch of the opposition grould be removed from the miud of SOBERSIDES. < t ? - For the Anderson Intelligencer. Action.I Action I Action I Mr. Editor : At a meeting of the citizens of Anderson, held in November last, a large and intelligent committee was appointed to memorialize the Legislature on the necessity of passing a general Drainage Law. The Hon. Mr. Trescott was purposely placed at the head of that Committee. Has the memorial been prepared and acted on by the Committee ? If not, let pronqptaction be had. A definite plan, has been proposed at a public meeting of the citizens of Pickens. Let Anderson follow suit, and either endorse the action of the Pickens meeting, or proposed something better. De? lays are dangerous. Time is rapidly passing, and another sickly season may soon be upon us, Surely enough of victims have already been sacrificed. Let us have . ACTION. For the.Anderson Intelligencer. A Grange of the Order of Patrons of Hus? bandry was organized near Neal's Creek Church on Triday, 9th of January, 1874, by Dr. John A.

The following is the letter of Attorney Gener* al Williams, requesting the withdrawal of his nomination for the office of Chief Justice: Department of Justice, ) Washington, Jan. 7, 1874, j To the President?-Sir : You were kind enough, without ray solicitation or any knowl? edge on my part that you contemplated doing such a thing, to nominate me for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Since that time the floodgates of calumny in all directions have been opened upon me. My abilities have been disparaged and my integrity brought in question, and it seems to me that Eublic opinion adverse to my appointment has cen created which might hereafter embarrass your administration and. perhaps impair my usefulness upon the bench. \\ ith a perfect consciousness that I have performed, with clean hands and an upright purpose, all the duties of j the various public offices to which I have been called, and trusting to time and a just public, i when better informed, for my vindication, I respectfully ask you to withdraw from the Senate my nomination for Chief Justice. I have tho honor to be, with great respect, GEORGE H. WILLIAMS. ?

The Complete Illnstrated Family Bible. We are indebted to the "Queen City Publish? ing Company," Cincinnati, for a copy of their splendid and complote Illustrated Family Bi? ble, printed from clear, beautiful type and on elegant paper, and bound in the handsomest and most substantial manner. Wo cannot pre? tend to express within duo limits the exceeding value and importance of the many excellent features contained in the edition before us. Be? sides the Old and New Testaments, Apocrypha, Concordance, and Psalms of David in metre, there is embraced an encyclopaedia of Scriptural knowledge most valuable to tho student and reader of the Sacred Word, and much of which has been prepared especially for this edition. Among the new and most striking features, we will mention a concise history of the Books of the Bible, which is prefaced with an introduc? tory history, showing the authenticity, inspira? tion and preservation of the Holy Scriptures. Interesting and important chapters on the uni? ty and mysteries of tho Bible; an Index, giv? ing an account of the most remarkablo passages recorded in tho Old and New Testaments; a new and comprehensive Pronouncing Diction? ary j besides many other features of the great? est interest. It is illustrated with twenty full page engravings, fourteen others nearly full pago, and almost four hundred smaller engrav? ings. An artistic and beautiful Family Regis? ter ; an improved style of Photograph Album, with spaces for sixteen pictures; an unique Marriage Certificate, and the Ten Command? ments illuminated, are likewise contained in this volume. Every effort seems to havo been made by the publishers to insure tho most com? plete as well as the most profusely and beauti? fully illustrated edition of the Book of Books ever printed. The mechanical execution of the work is superb and unsurpassed, while it is claimed that the prices of the various styles of binding are unequalled for cheapness by any edition of the Biblo now in the market. We have only hinted at the chief and original fea? tures of this edition/.without attempting an elaborate display of its attractions, whicli must bo seen and examined to bo fully appreciated. This Bible is sold by subscription only, and cannot bo had except through the authorized agents of the Queen City Publishing Co. Sub? scribers are not obliged to take it unless the book corresponds in every particular with tho description. Mr. W. H. Smith is tho regularly constituted agent for Anderson County, and will canvass the country for subscriptions. We take pleas? ure in recommending him to all persons in want of a Family Bible.

It will make a boautiful holiday gift. The publishers are desirous of obtaining can? vassers in every County of each of the South? ern States, and are offering the most liberal in? ducements to competent persons. No better opportunity is presented to an energetic farmer who will undertake the duties of a canvasser, and devote his leisure time to it from now un? til his farm duties require his undivided atten? tion. We feel confident it will pay well if| properly attended to. Persons desirous of en? gaging as canvassers should make early appli? cation to Messrs. Walker, Evans and Cogswell, Charleston, S.
