About six of the convicts will have to bo returned, they having chronic wim. plaints not I iown of at the time of delive ry, which render them' unfit for work. General satisfaction prevails,.and the entire gang ?re in good spirits." . Pursuant to a call of tho Town Council, a citizens' meeting was held In thc Court House on Tuesday night to consider tho advisability of tho town purchasing a chemical' firo-cxtinguishing apparatus, con sisting. ef? one engine,-two small cxtln gutshere, with hose, ladders, axes, buckets, and offered for $1,600. The 'meeting was slimly atended, and very few persons present expressed any opinion one way or tile other, but those who did express their opinions ihonght the outlay wonid b* too great for the advantages secured In the way of increased facilities for protection of prop erty against destruction by fire, and thc meeting adjourned without taking:*ny de cided action, but from what was said tba Oonricll understood that the purchasing ol thc apparatus was not favored. After the rain pfiast Thursday jr?ornlng, with which a small amount of snow wai mingled, tho weather grew gradually coldei until Sun&y night, when it wus evident that oil vegetation susceptible to injury hy frost would be killed, ; and on Mond*) morning there was hardly vestige left Such garden vegetables as beana, Irish po tatura, cabbage plant*, etc, and fruits o every.kind that were In bloom were almos cit ?rely destroyed, while a few patches o very forward small grain were slightly in jared.

Sloan died suddenly os Sunday evening last at the residence of bei husband, Moj. Benjamin Sloan, at Wal halla. Hrs. Sloan was a daughter of thc late Capt. John Maxwell, and was a highly accomplished and estimable lady, whose amiable disposition and many noble attri butes of character conspired to render her an ornament to society, beloved and ad mired by those who surrounded or were acquainted with her. To a beautifully modest and retiring nature she added the higher charm of a perfect sincerity and the grace of a true woman. A devoted wife, a fond and affectionate mother, and a loving friend, 'she yet possessed tho higher and more enduring v?rtuo of a deep i-iei; aBQ abiding faith in Him whose ways are above our ways and in whose counsels (here are no mistakes. Though her remains sleep the long sleep in the Baptist Church Ceme tery at Pendleton, beside loved ones who had gone before her, yet she leaves a merni ory that will often come to comfort with sweet pleasure the anguished relatives and friends who mourn the carly death of ono to pure and beautiful and good. Mr. Joseph Skelton, a young man not quite 10 years of age, died at his father's residence, in Anderson County, on the 25th March. His illness had been for nearly a year a gradual wasting of physical strength by some form of dyspepsia, until that strength was exhausted Yet, his mental strength increased a? his interest in reli gio JJ subjects increased, and towards the close of his life that interest took the rhape of a confident, a hopeful anticipation of a Letter life. Ho calmly and peacefully con templated the prospect before him as one hopefully contemplates tho scenes of the land to which he is to emigrate, His rela tivos could scarcely have wished to detain him, and the grief of a tender mother waa quieted with the belief that his departure was his gain. The death of Mr. Skelton has left a deep impression upon the young people of his communUy, sor\o of whom, os well os those of his own tinnily, he ten derly and solemnly addressed on tho subject of their religious duties. It was to them a voice from tho borders of the world to come, and the speaker, one of their num ber, taking his stand on tho brink of time to address them. Let them not forget that Bolemn address. At a meeting of tho Executive Board of tho Baptist Convention of this State, held in Columbia last week, Kev. W. H. Strickte :d, of this pitee, was elected Cor responding Secretary of the Board and General Agent of tho-State Mission work. It will be remembered that he was elected to this position by the State Convention at its meeting at Aiken last November, but for good -reasons the o nico tendered was not accepted, and to the pleasure of his congre gation and our citizens generally he decided to continuo in charge of the Baptist Church hore. Since that-time tho efforts of the Bo;.rd to cefuro the services of a competent and efficient man. for tb ft place hos been unsuccessful, and as Mr.' Strickland was again called to the work, and urged by the Board to accept, he decided to accede to its demands, and has accordingly forwarded his letter of acceptance ; and on last Sunday morning tendered his resignation as pastor of the Baptist Church, greatly to the sor row of his entire congregation. He has been in charge of tho Church at this place since January, 1877, and has endeared him self to the membership of his Church, who recognize in him BO many noble and excel lent qualities. Being' naturally an'active, vigorous and untiring worker for whatever cause be espouses, he will doubtless make a most successful and popular Agent, and do a great deal towards establishing and building up tho cause of tho Master in the destitute and waste places in Sonth Caro lina. His resignation as pastor will take effect Juno 27th, and he will enter upon his new office on the 1st July. Tho South Carolina Presbytery. Thc meeting of this body, which con vened in Williamston on Wednesday even ing of lost week, - remained in Besslon through Sunday, tho last day being given entirely to devotional, exercises. The at tendance, of delegates was much larger than usual, there being very fow chinches in the bounds of the Presbytery not represented, j and tho deliberations most harmonio?* and ! pleasant throughout. ?

Tho routine business of the session was disposed of with the usual promptness, and general good feeling pre vailed during the entire meeting. Rev. A. E. Norris, formerly of this Coun ty, but who has been in ch argo of the Pres byterian Church at Johnston's, in Edge field County, was regularly ordained an evangelist hy the laying on of hands. Messrs. David E. Prierson and J. L.'McLin, of this County, and .Mr. Wm. Nevil), Of Walhalla, were liceused, and during the meeting preached their trial sermons, which are said to have been very ?ne efforts. The report on Foreign Missions showed an increase of contributions to that cauco by tho churches tn the Presbytery of about 07 per cent., which waa very encouraging indeed. Interesting conferences were held on Saturday fend Sunday tights cn thc sub jects of Foreign and Domestic Missions re spectively, and a new interest awakened in the causes.

Pursuant to tb? call of President James M. Latimer, the Board of Directors of the Savannah Valley Rsi broad convened In tho Temperance HvU in Anderson on Wednes day morning at 21 o'clock. Freaideni Lat? loser called tho Board to order, when it was eseeriained the following members warr present : President J, M. Latimer, W. W. Humphreys, J< W. Norris, J. T. Barnes, R. P. Clinksoalcs, W. J. Milford, 8. J. Hester, T. J. Hester and W. B. Watson. Mr. J. E. Breazeale acted as Secretary of tito Beard. . President Latimer stated thai the object of the meeting was tr take into consideration the propriety of collecting the taxes and of having a survey of the route made during the coming sommer. He stated tba: Gan. 'Bradley, of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, had gi voa him an estimate of the cost of 100 convicta for one year, which was C9.0U.00, which did not include the cost of ss?dti*ir?^? *C?, thai the av^raga omit ocr mlle of the road graded was about $000. Ho had learned that the Hartwell Railroad, in Georgia, had been graded by hired labor ft a cost of an average of about $300 per mlle. He thought that the bed of this r*ad could be graded by hired labor at a cost of not nKvre than $000 per mile. Gen. Humphreys then introduced tho following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, by a Joint Resolution of tho General Assembly of South Carolina, ap proved February 20,1880, the President and Board o? Directors of tho Savannah Valley Railroad, or a majority of them, are au thorized and empowered to direct , the col lection of the taxes voted to tb? said Sa vannah Valley Railroad in Anderson end Abbeville Counties ; and whereas lt is be lieved thearaountsubscribed Is amply suffi cient to grade laid Road, with hired or con vict labor. Theref . e. Resolved, That the collection of the first instalment of said subscription be proceeded with forth wi'h, commencing on the first day of May nuw next ensuing, and contin uing until the 81st of October next, without tho imposition of the usual penalty for non payment if paid on or by tba said 31st of October next. Resolved, That tho Auditors of the Coun ties of Anderson1 and Abbeville, and tim Town Treasurer of the Town of Anderson be, and they are hereby, authorized to assess upon tho property of tho Town and Town ships subscribing to said Savannah Valloy Railroad such per centum aa may bo neces sary to pay tbs first instalment, as provided in the charter of said Road ; and the Audi tors of Anderson and Abbeville Counties, as aforesaid, aro authorized to turn over to the County Treasurer of their respective Counties the books containing said assess ment, so soon as .the some is made and completed, to wit, on or by the first, day of May ensuing. Resolved, That the County Treasurers of Anderson and Abbeville, and the Town Treasurer of the Town of Anderson, are authorized to collect the said first instal ment of the subscription to the Savannah Valley Railroad, as provided in the ch arti r of said company, commencing as herein provided on the 1st day of May and con tinuing uutil the 1st of October next: and in collecting said taxes the County Treas urer, or Town Treasurer, as the case may bo, shall deliver to tho taxpayer a special receipt therefore, which shall express that the amount stated therein is the tax for said Rrailroad. .FWofrea*, That a corps of engineers, be organized at once,-and authorized; to pro ceed with the survey of said Road soi soon as funds sufficient havo been paid in to de fray tho expenses of sold survey. Ho thought a sufficient amount of money could be raised by the means designated to secure a survey of the route, and to employ 1 a sufficient number of hired laborers to commence tho work os soon as crops aro laid by. If tho Company meant business it. 1 was timo something was being done, and if < work was delayed much longer the enter prise might as well bo abandoned. ' Col. J. W. Norris thought thc Board . ought to bo very careful in taking action on j tho matter of collecting laxes, and woe op posed to the collection being made this year. '? Ho did not think it wonld do to commence thc wo. k of grading the road bed with hired , labor, and preferred to defer the collection j j of tuxes until noxt year. * Capt. J. T. Barnes favored the resolutions, and thought work should be commenced | 1 as early as possible, as it had already been i delayed too long. Ho was prepared to voto for tho collection of taxes at once, and thought the amount subscribed amply sui- '. ficient to complete the gradioQ of the road 1 bed. He hoped tba resolutions would pass. Gen. Humphreys considered that a great deal depended on the action of the Board at I this meeting, and expressed the. opinion, that in less than three months from the day work was commeuccd on this Road stsps would bs taken to extend the line from Anderson to Bosley, making connection at the latter place with the Atlantic & French Broad Valley Railroad. Ho thought tho resolutions should be adopted, that the survey should be arranged for at once, and as soon as practicable tho work of grading the road bed should be commenced, i Mr, B: ?. ??mk-ca?ss avered tSs resolu tions, OTU thought it important that os lit tle time be lost in commencing the work ol grading os possible. Dr. W? J. Milford stated that ho would yote for the resolutions 'tecanse ho repre sented Hall township, ar. d he knew that a majority of the citizens of that township were in favor of going ahead with tho en- ? terprise. Ho was willing to grade five miles of the route himself rather than have tho enterprise flail. Mr. ?.JL.. Hester said that he promised bis neighbors before, he left, home that he would bring the Road back with him, and hoped sl^oerely that:the resolutions wdaid pass. Col. Norris moved to amend tho 4th reso lution so -as to require the surveyors to make an estimate Of ttooost of both a har row and broad gauge/fj?ad. Ho favored making thc road a narrow gauge, and Bpoke at some-length anon tho" relative merits of the narrow ?ad broad gango roadu. Mr. H. J. Heater w^nted a broad gango road, aa eil of tho roads with which lt was to connectwere broad?orage. The amendment was adopted. O? mott<m/of Capt. Barnes, tho resolu tions were adopted os a whole. I? ' Maj. T.-B. Lee waa-then introduced to the Board, abd stated that tho preliminary survey of the entire route could be made at a cost cf about $000, and that lt would con sume about one month of time.. He stated at some length the relative advantages of the narrow and broad gauge roads, and thought that a narrow gauge would answer tho purposes of the proposed lins." He ' Odored going to work at once, r On motion of Gen. Humphreys, the Pres ident was instructed to invite estimates , from on gin eera of the cost of ?survey ot tho entire route, and that the Board meet at Cornwell Institute on Saturday, 8th of tSny, at 12 o'clock, to consider the bids. , -vt-The Secretary of the Board was ordered to Berv? a copy of tba resolutions upon the Auditors of Abbeville and Anderson Coun , The Board then adjourned.
