Editor Intelligencer : I would like to say a few words on tbe subject of some holy and learned sermons that have been delivered in tbe pulpit of the Presbyterian Church, in Pendleton, during the last month. The first of the series was a dis? course on tbe parablo of "the laborers in the vineyard," and contained some strik? ing and beautiful aphorisms. "Earth," said tbe preacher, "is a moral graveyard given up to tho children of sin, who will finally people the realms of torment, for there will be no friends in hell?only foes." A very beautiful thought was the following: "To the Christian every hour brings its reward, every pleasure is a duty and every sorrow a victory." The second sermon was a masterly treatise on the subject of "Missions," and what made it especially interesting was the fact that the speaker spoke "ex Cathe? dra" of some parts of the "Orient," hav? ing visited them in early life. The third sermon was on "the cruelty of thectdldren of men." I did not hear it, but am told it contained a most realistic description of the mutiny and massacre of Cawnpore. This servant of the Lord, crowned with the "peace that passeth understanding," spends his days in an ideal home amid the stillness of the Piedmont hills, freely dispensing good deeds and wise counsel; and tbe silver hairs that encircle his brow are only tbe shadows of the white lilies that bloom in the gardens of God.

The patrons of this school have just reason to be proud of their teacher, aud should, if possible, keep her. Tho exercises last Friday re? flected credit on the teacher, and showed that she had done well her work. They also illustrated tho fact that- the children bad not been there in vain. Tho children seemed to understand what they were doing, and to take a worthy pride in do? ing it well. This is not a large school, but it is a good school.

Tho ceremony was very impressing, and the surround? ings added to make it the most intensely interesting and solemn marriage we have ever attended. Tho happy pair went back to the bride's uncle's, abovo Seneca, where they spent tho night. The Intel? ligencer congratulates the bride on cap? turing one of Anderson County's noble sons, and wo also congratulate the groom on being so fortunate, in our opinion, as to capture a real wife in the best sonse of that word. We wish them a long life, with a full realization of all their happy anticipations. We have bought tho right for the Im? proved Liquid Freezers for freezing Ico Uroam.

Last week, near Alston, while Robert Thompson, of this place, was on duty at a trestlo ho experienced a serious accident in being knocked from the trestle by a rapidly moving passengor train.

Oh, do tell me, who is Mr. "Jumbo," of Piercetown ??the knights of the quill, the great mogul of the anti-Tillmanites who so effectually demolishes Mr. Till man and shows him up as incompetent and unworthy of gubernatorial honors, and then goes on to make other nomina? tions for Governor, Congress and the Leg? islature, not forgetting to nominate him? self as a candidate for the Legislature. I believe the only charge that "Jumbo" brings vs. Mr. Tillman is, that on tho day of the Tillman meeting at Anderson, some persons who had imbibed a little strong on "rot gut" wore noisy and behaved badly. I fail to see how "Jumbo" can make Mr. Tillman responsible for the misdemeanor of others. I was there my? self, and hoard Tillman more than once ask tho noisy ones to keep order and bo quiet. I have no doubt but that Mr. Till? man was ashamed of the conduct of some of his friends on that occasion.
