He raised 56 bushels of fine Irish potatoes on an eighth of an acre. There was little done in Walhalla on last sales-day. The sheriff sold several tracts of mountain land at 15 to 25 cents per acre. A considerable amount of land was sold lor taxes, the State becoming the purchaser In every Instanse but one, being a town lot. Torie.

The Enquirer also informs us that Daniel Neal, a negro in the employ of a contractor on the Air Lino Railroad, near Harmony in this county, was lodged in the jail at this place, on Saturday last, on a charge of rape.

It appears that Pltto tad heeu assaulted and cut with a kaile, and very narrowly escaped with 8 his life, during tho previous month, having J been attacked by G.- w. Fairburn. A warrant * was taken out for the latter on the 26th of * May. which lt is supposed further aggravated 1 Fairburn, as the letter states that he, in com? pany with two other men, went to Pittb'e. house on tbe night first above-named, dlsguls- 1 ed, and although they are-said to hav&changid ( their voices,. were recognized.

About one o'clock en the night mentioned, a band of negroes,, supposed to he some ten on twelve In number, came to his'premises and first made an attack upon the storeroom, in which a little boy was sleeping. The little fellow^becoming frightened, ran^ut. and was fired upon,.hut fortunately escaped' without injury. They then m vie an .?ttack upon the dw?lungjh?>bichtbey round Mrs. Scott, her two 'chuw?tf:aii'd ber mother.^ Her mother fled from the house, and was fired uoon with? out effect. Entering, they demanded money of Mrs. 8cott, qc information as to the* place In which it was kabt. Mrs. Scott refusing to tell, they proceeded? search the room, breaking in pieces a splendid burean and smashing things generally, amid oaths and all manner of foul lauguaee. Failing in .their search, they returned to Mrs. Scott; dragged her from her bed by the hair of ber head, ?red pistols around her person, and finally presented them at her bosom and swore that she must either tell or die. She was still firm. They then carried her daughter through the same ordeal,-with like result.' Seizing upon scuttle son, they held him np by the hair of thWead and swore If he did not tell them where they could find the money they would cut his throat from ear to ear. In his fright the child referred thom-to a certain trunk, where they found and took some $300 in gold and silver-mostly gold. Ali this was done amid the most horrid oaths and abusive language. Alter, this the band returned, to the storeroom, where they obtained some $20 more, and were only pre? vented from Backing it by the gathering ot the neighbors, who had been awakened by the firing and the shouting io the distance of a mlle or more.

The Beaufort Bepublican acknowledges the receipt from Dr. Paul Pritchard, of Oakland plantatlon,of a remarkable specimen of kaolin, which is used extensively In the manufacture of porcelain ware. . The piece we have, says the Bepublican, is entirely devoid ot grit, and would answer in the polishing of gold and sil? ver-ware. The doctor informs us that it ls equal to the article found near Augusta, and the supply ls inexhaustible. About 12 M. on the 4th. a fire broke out in the kitchen In rear of Mr? Woodman's resi? dence In Beautort. No material damage was done, father than burning a hole in the roof. It was the work of an Incendiary without ques? tion, says the-Bepublican. . The. same paper has the lollowing report of a murder : "A foul murder was committed on the Ben Chaplin plantation, at Land's End, early on Tuesday .morning, upon the body of . Bill Webb, an aged colored man. None ot -the particulars have yet come to hand, except the fact of his being killoe In a field not far from the settlement,-by a stranger who was discov? ered making away from the spot, and pursued by two men, who followed hard on his track Lill he eluded the pursuit-at the Whitehall ! Perry. But the pursuers have -seen"him sev? eral times, and were confident they could r? :ognize him by his clothing. A warrant for ?is apprehension was obtained, and Just at ' nightfall he was secured and' lodged in Jail. We have not learned his name, but he ls said to be a bad character from Savannah. The coroner will'hold an inquest Immediately, when we trust further light-may be thrown sn the whole affair. AB yet nothing hhs trans sired to indicate the motive for the murder." . The Beaufort Bepublican says: "Early on :he morning ol the glorious -Fourth, as Colo? nel- P. L.

Mcfauls Vanquished Again-Horace Greeley Publicly Nominated f$r Prest? dent-His Chances 'Against Grant Commercial Pict}'. [PROM OUR OWN CORR ES POKD EKT. ] NEW YORK, July 5. About 12 .o'clock last night the racket, which had been crazing adult New Yorkers for thirty-six hours, ceased. I imagine no previous Fourth of July, was so generally cele? brated by the boys. They spread themselves over the sidewalks from daybreak till dark, anddevoted themselves industriously to the production of explosive sounds. The louder, and more deafening waa the noise, the more delirious apparently was the Joy ot these imps. Each succeeding year witnesses the "im? provement", of detonating toys; and now man irftcturers have reached such ^eri'ectioa that they are-able to sell the juvenile world a com? mon firecracker which will make as loud a noise-os a brass cannon: These .Ingeni?os In? struments oHort?re are called "Union Torpe? does." Of course they were almost the only things the boys would buy.oa Fourth bf July,' and the consequence was. a din not tinlike that which acconrp?nles a stubbornly contest? ed battle. The Fourth was principally celebrated by the boya, but there were a few exercises in which grown people participated. The parade ol the militia In the morning was creditable. I can remember when the soldiers used to march to the Battery, at the Jbwer end of Broadway, to be reviewed by the major-genera!. This I be? lieve was the custom from the time of-the . Revolution down to the beginning of the late civil war. But since New York bas movedVup town, the Fourth ef July parades have never been below. Canal street, and sometimes not below Fourteenth street. Yesterday-the re? view was held at Madison Square. Mayor Hall was. mounted on a platform In front of the Worth monument, and had with hi m Major Generals Hamilton and Jeff. C. Davis of the : army,sA.dmlral Le Fevre aad staff of the Freochdfelgate Magicienne,- and Captain Col 'check or the Russian frigate Vsadnick. The { crack Seventh looked ana marched finely, as usual, but bad an undoubted rival In. the * Ninth, with Culbnel.Jim flak at Its head. 5 The ; latter ls squandering money and working like 1 a.beaver to make his regiment ttfe best drilled in the city. -Twcyears ago it-was one'of "the poorest and least attractive. The Tammany celebration was one bf the j features of the'day. The Radicals, as a party. j do not recognize the anniversary of Independ- < ence. But his always celebrated- entjuislaa- i tically by-the New York .Democracy. Tarnma- i ny Hall was gally decorated with, flagland '% banners. All tbe leading Democrats o? the - city and many trom other Stales occupied the < platform. The Demoaratic ladies filled the i front seats, and behind them were tje?ypon ] tier or the horny-handed unterrified, many, I , am constrained to admityin their shirt sleeves. ? But the enthusiasm WAS .genuine and hearty, j Se?era!-Runyon, of New Jersey, delivered i tbe oration;. John Savage, the Fenian pre si- < tent, read the poem, and Hill sang the "Star s Spangled Banner." There were shorter [ 3peecheB,?.and, at the conclusion of the exer- j rises, the warriors and their guests retired to the-banqueting rooih, wheie, wa may pre? sume, they indulged ia-fire-water and smoke.' In the evening there were displays of Sro- ' works In all of the large public parks, includ- ' lng the Battery. Among the outside .attrac- 1 Hons which drew thousands of people' away 1 irom the city, were the races at Long Branch, 1 :he regatta of the Atlantic Club at Glen Cove, < Lhe exercises at the charity institutions on 1 Randall's Island, the base ball contest at the ' Union Grounds. Brooklyn, and the German f festivals In the suburbs. Central and Prospect t Parks were thronged, there Were innumerable ? ileamboat excursions around the harbor_,amL 4 aosLof.the theatres gaye performances la the 1 ifternoon and evening. There seemed to be " jomparotlvely little drunkenness, which was. " partly owing,-no doubt, to the unusual mild- . ness of the weather. . " . . / 1 The base ball contest to which I. have ai- ?J uded wns really an extraordinary , game. I 1 lave told you how we pride ourselves oh '.our J champion club, tue- Mutual, and how wd ex- 1 aectea thatit would walk over all the Other 1 ikibi li ihe^ country this season. We.w?re 1 ?ken d?wn materially by tts three successive 1 ??feats by out-oi-town clubs,.but'were hafflly ' Drepare'd lor the "catastrophe of yesterday, j i'he Mutual played the Eckford, a second-rate ' :lub, Irom which nobody expected anything ' mt. overwhelming roue. But the result-was I ust the other, way. The . hamptons- were not \ inly defeated, but' what is worse-they were 1 'whitewashed." The score stood : Eokforl 7, 1 Mutual 0. Nothing BO surprising as this has ] iver before been done lu base ball in New 1 Co. td it will have the effect ot breaking I he p> uotlge of our once terrible champions. 1 A special dispatch tn the. Tribune of this norning announces that Horace Greeley has Seen nominated for the Presidency by Cassius 1 Ki Clay, who mnd? ? F?urthof July speech In 1 Lexington, Kentucky, yesterday. This ls the 1 list public endorsement that -Horace's candi- ' lature has received since he informed-a Kan- .< las editor tbaf he was willing to run. Though ' nest of the Radical papers affect to treat the 1 matter as- a' joke. I have reason to believe that the vain tfnd?assy old agriculturalist is be? devilled with .the Idea that he nasa strong pop- < ular backing, and ean contest the nomination "< ivith Grantln the Radical National Conven- 1 Lion. He ls firmly impressed with the notions . ' that the great farming Interest looks upon bim as its representative man, and that he is 1 very popular in the South. Greeley has* more I brains than Grant, and'the people nave more i confidence In bis honesty, but he . has a fatal i Qaw in his armor. He is a protectionist. He ' could not corry a single Western State on this I lontlnent, and would more completely fail to 1 unite his party than the generally despised and contemptible man who wields the govern? ment patronage by reason "or having posses? sion of IL The new religious dally pennv paper, the Witness, bas been issued. It ls not particular-- . ly promising in appearance. A tone of cant pervades not only the editorial page, but the news columns. The mixing el pious phrases ' ara Bible quotations with purely commercial topics would be grotesque if lt were not dis? agreeable. The editor announces that he ls a deacon In the orthodox church, andyice-presl deqt ol' a temperance society. ."To avoid dis? appointment," he wishes lt tb .be distinctly' understood that the Witness will take "no ad? vertisement ol' intoxicating drinks, bitters, opiates, tobacco, theatres, circuses, quacks or quack medicines, bad hooks, lotteries, gift enterprises or anything else that ls known to be. Injurious- ta public health or morality." Front this we may gather that the deacon is down on smoking, and considers.the circus, the drama and the South Carolina Land and Immlgratton~8ociety dev.ces of the adversary. At tbe same time he admits into his columns an advertisement of a celebrated manufactur? er of breech-loading rifles, pocket revolvers, and other deadly Instruments used in perfor? ating, carving, shattering and tearing to pieces the bunyan family. The deacon will hardly be able to poss lor a saint lu this keen-eyed com? munity. ; _ ' . Nra. DOCTORS WILL DIFFER. WASHINGTON, July 9. 4 ... The Medical Association postponed action regarding consultations with diplomatecLeolor ed doctors to October; but expelled, Dr.?W. Bliss for defiant language and action, (regard? ing consultations with doctors) contrary to the rules of the Medical Society. This com? plication arises from the fact that Bliss c >.?. suited with Dr. Cox, whose application fur membership was rejected, because he p.jted on the board ot health of the Territory with a homccopathist. -Of the two huudred ani twenty-seven deputies which compsethe lately, organized Parliament of Japan, avery large proportion are in favor of trying the efficacy of tbe mo6t advanced ideas In pol?tica and religion; and as an evidence of the newly-born liberality ol the present ministry, lt may be stated that when Informed that one of the Japanese students In thlB country-ot whom there are about one hundred-had been converted to Christianity, Instead of being blamed, he became the reci? pient of special favors from his government. . THE WEATHER AND THE CHOPS. Reports from Sooth Carolina. 0C0XKE. ' The weather continues changeable, says the Walhalla Oourier, with frequent ebowere. Corn looks promising, though small- for the time of year. Bottom land will not yield so well because of top much rain;-but the yield" from upland will be Increased.

The Sentinel saysr "Our friends, writing from various parts of the county give the. most glowing accounts of the crops. The corn crop is better than ' has been known for years, and we were told on Bales-day of a planter who would, for4100 cash, sell to any mau in the countv, 200 buphels, to be delivered hythe 1st of January, 1872:"" GEORGETOWN*. .- The accounts from the different rivers, says the Georgetown-Times, .are varying as to the condition and prospects bf the rice crops. On San tee we learn they are unusually promising, but the accounts are ..pot so 'avorabie from the other rivers. There is about the same nain* ber ol acr?s planted this year that were plant? ed last, and from all we . can gather, there is no reasonable hope, that the pr?sent crop will be any larger than the last. . LAURENS. - The Laurensvllie Hrrald says : "A very se? vere rain storm passed over the northern and western portions ol 'our coflnty on Saturday night and Sunday morning. It rivalled the -weil remembered freshet of. 1852. We have, heard of some half dozen mill dams and se ve? nd bridges that ' have been swept away by the liigh water. From what we can learnt he cot- ' ton crop in this county jbas. been permanently Injured by the con tinued rains. The corn crop on bottom lands has been damaged' by over? flows, but.on the uplands It ls looking splen? didly.

The corn looks and promises much better than lt has In many years before at this 'tage, of the season.

TfTV LAST RAILROAD HORROR. Detalla ot the Accident on tbe NaabvllU and Northwestern Kullvoad-Scenes and Incidents on' the Spot .and in Nashville. A dispatch dated Nashville', July 6, gives the foll owing details of the railroad accident neat that city, of which we have already published a brief account. It says: The train which met with the terrible acci? dent left at - naif-past 8 o'clock on Monday evening, on the Northwestern Bailroad. It was composed of an engine, baggage car, two passengers cars and one sleeping coach. There were fourteen passengers in the front passenger car, abont thirty in the ladlee' car, and three In the sleeping car. Mest of those lo the ladies' car were on their way to Kings? ton Springs to enjoy the Fourth of July?. The train, as usual, reduced its speed on approach? ing the- bridge over' Harpeth River, sixteen miles from the city. The engine and bag? gage car passed over pier G. in the middle of the river, la safety. The front pas? senger car had reached the pier,-when the bridge gave way under it, and lt was, itreclpltated twenty feet into the river, fati? ng on its side In eight feet of water. -The ladies' car fell end up on this, all the passen ffers falling to Ute front, and the seats break ng from their fastenings, tailing. on the pas? sengers. In one corner ot this car. under the water, in the front car, was Mr. John - Camp? bell, of Nashville, - whose leg and head were injured, but who, with another gentleman, was the only persons that were lelt free to move. They swam through the cars and ex? tricated eight or ten others, aud brought them, out with but slight bruises. The others, who were under the seats were killed or drowned, and the bodies were not found at daylight. In the ladies' car thirteen out ol the thirty were killed instantly, and their dead bodies, with the broken seats piled up with and on the other passengers, in this oondltlon they were left-toe'wounded and dying in the darkness. The sleeping car ron half way over the break and lodged against the upper end of the ladies' car. 'The three persons' In 'lt were' badly bruised, but soon extricated themselves, and climbed down and commenced taking out the broken Beats piled up on the dead and dying, and, after.about an hour, succeeded in reliev? ing many. The engine and baggage car hur I ried on to Kingston Spring, where they awoke ? the operator and telegraphed to Colonel "Thomas, superintendent of the road. The news reached him at half-post 12 o'clock, and he at once started with a wrecking-train and a number of persons to the scene of death. Arriving at 2 o'clock, they went to removing the dead and dying. All this time the wounded were fastened under dead bodies, and unable to move hand or foot, some praying for mercy; others bewailing the loss of dear ones,and others rejoicing (bat it was no worse with them than it was. One ot the wounded, Mr. Williams, a stout man, of Nashville, proved himself a hero by telling one of the doctors to stand on his hip, the leg of which was crush? ed, telling him to never mind bim, but relieve others who were la a worse condition. J. M. Thompson, of Amherst Courthouse, Virginia, was cut about the head ana hip, and having hf g-bo weis -nashed has since died.

University did. not believe that any method of I Instruction could b?'blrodjy f?flovw?r antPj thought that mutual conference among edu-' cators wonld reveal the best ways of teach? ing- ?, Rev. Dr. Beynolds, of South Carolina, thought that "one good -result ortbla!associa-, ti on was the mingling of men. from the two great sections ot the country. Thejr neither knew nor understood each other.. Education, ti?bellered, was the.fijf&t Unlrtnatilfauld unite - the people*of the N?rth. and Souttar r *' In the discussion of-tho topic ol METHODS OF RELIGIOUS TfiACHQyG IN ACADEMIES AND COLLEGES, the idea was brought out that the best method was not by direct means, but by the teachers' becoming-'living epistles known and read of j ali men;" that the church bad been, and ought j always to be, the conservator of literature and science, because Christianity and' learning go*' hand in band, and mutually strengthen each other; . The crowning effort, however, of the con ventlon was an address by Ber. Dr. Horsy on the RELATION OP SCIENCE TO COMPLETE ED CC AITON. The distinguished gentleman entered Into, a comparison as to their disciplinary and educa? tional value-of the physical sciences on the - one hand.and the Greek and Latin languages on the .other. After examining some argu? menta which are urged in favor pf giving the natural Sciences the-pre te re nee, he pronounc? ed decidedly In favor of .the ancient languages, assigning as reasons- ' ." ' . ' 1. That language ls the natural organ and means of thought ; that a great part ot educa? tion Is to learn to think and apeak well, and that nothing can secure thia end so well as the study of Latin and Greek. . 2. That language is the great storehouse of knowledge-even of much knowledge con? cerning the physical sciences.- Hence he who would be well educated.must know the lan? guages, especially the ancients, in which the knowledge of thc world was so lodg locked up. 3. That language reveals to us man. the apex of creation, and that there ls no study more important or interesting than that of man. .. - . ' -L That classical study awakens a lore for the best literature, thus inducing an acquaint? ance with the best and -noblest productions ot man. . For such reasons lt was urged that the clas? sics ought to bare the drat place In a system of liberal studies. In remarks from gentlemen .who followed the speaker it was said that great attention must be giren to the physical sciences, be cause-society demanda it: that we are in dan? ger of overlooking the disciplinary effect of the -sciences; and regret was expressed that tho discussion had seemed to array the lin-.. Sulalie and scientific studies against each other.,, ecause there ls no necessary antagonism be The closing address was by Professor C. H. Toy, D. D., of South Carolina, on THE INCREASE, EDUCATION AND SUTPORT OF THE MINISTRY. As to ifs increase, prayer was the only means mentioned- in the NHW Testament, but prayer must b? accompanied by suitable effort. With regard to education the fullest possible literary and theological training was desirable,1 but when a yoting man could pursue only one of these he should prefer the literary, because this general training puta him in condition to, atudy theology and o?ves from the narrowing effect of one study. The support ol the pastor should be ample.
