I In cases of diphtheria, says an ex? change, there are some remedies of simple application which can be used by every? body, and where the disease is suspected some of these medicines should be ap? plied. The disease oltens grows very rapidly, and if a simple remedy is ap? plied while a physician is being sent for good results may be obtained. Gargles of chlorate of potassium or of alcohol. A medicine that is used by physicians is the 1 tincture of chloride of iron, which can be bad at any drug store. The dose for an adult is fifteen drops every half hour until the patient perspires, when the dan? ger is over. The medicine should be kept in the bouse for use in sudden cases. Mr. M. J. O'Neal, who resides near Pen dleton, in this County, bad the misfor? tune to bave bis barn and stables burned last Sunday, about 12 o'clock. In the stables were two mules and a milk cow, which were also consumed. One of the mules belonged to Mr. J. S. Fowler and the other to Mr. J. C. Drennan, both of this city. A lot of corn, fodder, &c., was also consumed with the barn. It is not known how the fire originated. A few days prior to this, Mr. O'Neal had two bales of cotton destroyed by fire while hauling them fiom the gin. It is sup? posed that before leaving the gin a spark from the engine lodged in the cotton. The cotton was not discovered on fire until be bad gone a mile or more from the gin, when it was too late to save it. These losses fall quite heavy on Mr. O'Neal, who' is a worthy, industrious young man. Tbe election upon the question of license or no license in tbe City of Ander? son, on lust Thursday, resulted in a victory for the advocates of license by a majority of twenty-two votes. The lull registra? tion was 410, of which only 374 voted, as follows: For license 198; against license 176. Tbe election was hotly contested, but passed off without serious distur? bance. Tbe license men bad their voters better in band than the dry men, and polled very nearly their full strength, while tbe dry men lost both in tbe regis? tration and in the election poll. Tbe ma? jority of tbe colored vote was cast in favor of license, though through the in? fluence of Rev. B. F. Witherspoon and Rev. L. T. Smith,, of the Methodist and Baptist Churches respectively, about forty out of 159 registered colored voters voted against license. This left the white vote, as near as can be ascertained, about 80 for license to 13C against it. The election fixes license for two years longer, unless tbe legislature gives us tbe right to vote upon tbe subject in the County. Petitions with over 1000 signatures of substantial citizens have been forwarded to the legis? lature asking the right to hold a County election, and we bave no doubt the right will be granted. It will be done unless our representatives refuse to give the people the right to decide the matter for themselves, and we have no idea that they will take any such unreasonable position. The question of building a commodious hotel in Anderson is being agitated by quite a number of our citizens at present. We think it is timely and appropriate, for if there ever was a place that needed a large hotel, that place is Anderson. In? deed, during any public occasion our facilities for entertaining visitors are in? adequate. Every Summer there are per? sons who would come to Anderson to spend a mouth or two could they get ac? commodations. The building of a large hotel, therefore, is a matter that every citizen is interested in, and wo believe, were the proper efforts made, it would be only a short time before such a building would be erected in our midst. Several plans have been suggested as to the best mode of starting thi i enterprise. We think the best plan that has been suggest? ed is to call a meeting of our citizens and organize a joint stock company, electing men of integrity and thorough business qualifications as its officers, then placing the shares at one hundred dollars euch, which would enable each and every citi? zen, who feels any pride in seeing Ander? son built up, to become a stockholder. By following this plan, we think enough money could be easily raised to erect a building that would compare favorably 'with any hotel in tbe State. Several of our public spirited citizens, who owrm-al uable lots near the Court House Square, have expressed a willingness to put in their lots at a reasonable price and take their value in stock. We have conversed with quite a number of our citizens upon this subject, and everyone is in favor of the enterprise. All that is needed is for some live man to take the lead. Who will do it? Anderson needs the hotel and must have it. The Market. Up to Wednesday noon tbe following are the cash prices for the articles enumerated below : Cotton?good middling. 10@10} Bacon?Side?.1% Hams.lGj?

The following article appeared in the Richmond (Va.) Dhpatch during the year 1SG3: "One of the most effecting scenes that has occurred during this war was wit? nessed at Chester, Virginia, on Saturday lost. "At the commencement of the warLar kin Estes and his son, James Jackson Estes, aged respectively sixty-rive and twenty-six years, two highly respectable citizens of Anderson District, South Car? olina, were residing in that place and prosperous in business. When the tocsin of war was sounded they nobly volun? teered in Company D, lfith Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers, and were soon on their way to the theatre of war, in Vir? ginia, to meet the ruthless inva iers of our soil. They passed through all the battles fought in Virginia. On Friday last, in the battle near Chester, Virginia, their regiment was engaged, when the son, Jamos Jackson Estes, was shot down while in the act of charging the enemy's breastworks. His father, seeing him fall, went to assist him from the field, when he himself was also severely wounded. The father and son were then both taken up and carried to Chester and laid side by side in the hotel. The father being able to set up, sat by the side ol his son, doing all he could to relieve his sufferings, and on the next morning that son, lying pros? trate from the wound he had received died in the sight and by the side of his wounded father. The old, grey-haired patriot, bowed down with grief, and suf? fering from tbe wound he had received, talked freely of the hardships that he and his son had shared together tor three long years, and expressed the hope that his son, who had fallen while nobly discharg? ing his duty to his country, had gone to a better world. The old man then express? ed a strong hope that his own wound might not prove fatal; that he might be spared to return to his regiment to avenge the death of his son and assist in driving' the invaders from the South, which then might enjoy once more liberty and inde? pendence, and be forever freed from the Northern vandal." Mr. Larkin Estes, tbe old gentleman I referred to above, is still living, and is a highly esteemed citizen of Williamston township, this County. He is now nearly 6ighty-seven years bid. He served his country faithfully through the war, and, despite his age, he is still remarkably vigorous. We trust he may live to te e brate his centennial anniversary. FOB THE HOLIDAYS.

C, the celebrated trotting horse, (named after his owner J. 1. Case, Esq.,) was recently entered at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to low? er his own record of 2.10, so as to beat "Maud S," Vanderbilt's great mare, the fastest animal on record, and whose time was 2.09}. The ex? citement was intense, 6,000 people having assembled to witness the contest, every one being eager and expectantly looking for the favor? ite to appear. At about 3 o'clock p. m. "J. I. C," amid tremendous applause, came down the track, passing the Grand Stand of the Judges, throwing first one ear and then the other forward, as if in re? cognition of the cheering of the crowd, then passing once around the race course, just to get warmed up and prepare himself for the race, the excitement running higher eve? ry minute, until "He is off! He is off!" echoed through the crowd. And sure enough, he was off! With rapid strides he moved on, on, in? creasing his speed at every step, fairly flying through the air, as if by magic, passing around the curves like a whirlwind ; then coming in JA&in view of the spectators, every ody on tip-toe, ana the excitement of the people was at fever heat to get a glimpse of the beautiful black steed as he -dashed along. Passing by the Grand Stand he slacked up, and after returning in front of the Judges' Stand, in a few moments the Board announced the record at 2.18}, at the second trial at 2.14, and the third time at 2.12J.
