Resolved, That we extend to our suffering fellow-citizens of the middle and sea-board counties of our State our heartfelt sympa? thies in their behalf, and pledge to them and to each other our unceasing efforts for the establishment of a good State government, in which the best interests and rights of all classes of our citizens shall be amply protec? ted. Resolved, That Gov. Chamberlain, by his determined opposition to the corruption of his own party, and especially in his success? ful straggle for a reduction of the tax bill, and his hold refusal, upon a bare pretext, to commission Whipper and Moses, Ls entitled to the thanks of all the good people of the State, irrespective of party association. Resolved, That the course of the Democrat? ic members of the present Legislature, in sustaining Gov. Chamberlain, meets our hearty approval. Resolved, That with low taxes emblazoned on the folds of oar battle-flag, the abroga? tion of all useless offices, and a reduction of salaries generally, we fling onr flag to the breeze, believing that the good people of the State will roll up such a majority in the ap Ereaching election as will drive from our orders the hordes of plunderers who have Invaded our soil. Resolved, That upon this issue we know no such word as fail, and pledge to each other our time, our talents and our property for the political redemption of the old com? monwealth.

BRIEF MENTION. Messrs. Wilhite it Williams, in addition to a complete line of drugs, can supply their customers with garden seeds and materials for making their own fertilizers, at reduced cost. An extra meeting of the Pomona -Grange will be held at this place on the second Saturday in this month. Urgent business will claim attention, we are in? formed. James L. Orr, Esq., arrived in town on Monday* evening, looking after some professional business of an urgent na? ture. He returned to his duties in Co? lumbia on Tuesday morning. We learn that the young men of Pen dleton have organized a brass band, and intend sending at an early day for the necessary instruments, after the arrival of which there will be "music in the air." The Town Council proposes to widen East Boundary street, beginning at Mrs. Orr's residence, and opening it through to the Greenville road. The necessary purchases have been made to carry this plan into effect. The Town Council of Pendletou has recently planted shade trees in their square. They consist entirely of water oaks and elms, which in the course of a few years will add much to the appear- ? ance of the square. The Anderson Brass Band is again re-organized, and have been making rapid progress in playing. Their music is very good indeed for the practice' they have had, and promises at no distant day to equal if not excel any former ba nd of Anderson. We are requested to announce that Rev. Baxter Hays will deliver an ad? dress on temperance before the New Salem Division, Sons of Temperance, on the fourth Saturday in this month, at half-past two o'clock p. m. The public generally are invitee! to be present It would be a great improvement to our town for an extension of McDuffle street to be made by Capt Shar e's resi? dence through to Calhoun street, and open up several desirable building lots. We suggest the idea to the Town Council, with the view of securing an early inves? tigation into its practicability and cost . The members of the Pendletoia Farm? ers' Society are determined to malte a success of their recent resolution to have an agricultural fair at that place during the coming fall. They are now discuss? ing the location of their grounds, and have several situations under considera? tion. It is thought the consummation of this undertaking on their part will add greatly to the business prosperity of the place, and hence the cittzens of the vil? lage are taking a lively interest in the success of the project There is to bo a meeting of the Demo? cratic Club of Anderson on Friday night next at 74 o'clock, to adopt a constitution and eloct delegates to the County Con? vention. There shonld be a full atten? dance of tho membership at that time, and any who have not united with tho organ? ization will then have an opportunity of doing f o. Every man in Anderson who desires to see his country redeemed from ruin ard restored to prosperity should do his part by joining the Club. J The Brass Band will be in attendance, and pleasant mu.de may be looked for as one attraction of the meeting. A number of the members of the An? derson Democratic Club propose having a public meeting of the ladies and gentile men of the Town of Anderson in the Court House on the night of the 22nd instant, for the purpose of celebrating Washington's birth-day. The subject will be presented to the Club at its next meeting, and speakers ivill probably be selected. This idea originated with the Broadaway Club, and it would be well for the Clubs throughout the County to adopt it, and have a public celobraticm either in the day or evening of i he 22nd of this month. CASTE. This is the name of a very 8 musing comedy which the public of A nderson will have the pleasure of seeing per? formed on two evenings of next week by the Anderson Melo-Dramatie Corps, which is composed of young ladies and gentlemen of our town, who possess fine talents and acquirements, which enablo them always to please in the rendition of their plays. The plot of "Caste" is sim? ple but effective, and consists in the rep? resentation of scenes consequent to an unequal marriage between Captain D'Alroy, son of the Marquise de Saint Maur, and Esther Eccles, an actor in one of the minor theatres and daughter of'a drunkard, which marriage is not recog? nized by the Marquise. "The Captain is ordered for service to India, and is com pelled to leave his wife, who hears that her husband is dead, and becomes re? duced in circumstances, but refuses to ask assistance of her mother-in-law. Her necessities are relieved by Captain Hautrce, a friend of Capt. D'Alroy, who, after a long absence, returns home in sound health, and is made happy by a reconciliation between the mother and daughter-in-law. Captain Hautree is jilted by a lady, and a match is made between Sam Gerridge, a mechanic, and Polly Eccles, a sister of Esther. These occurrences, together with the doings of the inebriate Eccles, form the play of "Caste,"' which is much more amusing; than would be supposed from this imper? fect synopsis, and will well repay the attendance of those who admire theatri? cal entertainments. Miss Mary Orr, who takes the role of the Marquise de Saint Maur, is an accom? plished amatour, and never fails to de? light an audience by the excellent tact naturalness and delicacy with which she interprets her part of the cast. She will be supported in "Caste" by Miss Josie Bleckley as Esther and Mrs. S. M. Orr as Polly. They are al?. easy, graceful and entertaining in the distinctive char? acteristics of their acting. The character of Sam Gerridge is to ha represented by Mr. S. M. Orr, who is doubtless the most amusing actor of comedy in South Caro? lina. He will be supported by Messrs. W. W. Keys, Thos. F. Hill and C. F. Jones, who appear in tho other male characters. Each of these gentlemen have appeared on the stage before, and we can, ifithout any oxageration, say there is not a poor actor among them. Taken as f. troupe, there is no doubt that the Melo-Dramatic Corps is superior, j both in natural abilities and attainments, to the Wildman troupe, end deserve the encouragement and patronage of our people in an Infinitely greater degree. Tho entertainment in question Is to bo given the llrst night for the purpose of completing the Methodist parsonage, and the second night for the Masons. We hope the Corps will have full houses on each evening. A diagram of reserved seats may bo seen, and tickets procured at tho post office. Admission 60 cents, reserved seats 75 cents. Further notice of the nights of the performance will be j given by the distribution of programmes [ next week. DEATHS. We are pained to record the death of ])r.
