THE WEEKLY NEWS. -The demand for last Friday's Issue of THE NEWS, containing the fun results of the election, was "so great that although an extra edition of eight hundred copies waa printed many were nuable to procure the paper. Of the TRI-WKEKLT NEWS five hundred extra numbers were also printed, and again the supply was unequal to the demand. AU the particulars of the election, prop? erly classified and arranged, will therefore be re? printed to the WEEKLY NEWS of this week, which will furnish an ext a! lent compendium of the bis tory of the recent excited times to this city for sending abroad. Copies or the WEEKLY NEWS, done up to wrappers ready for malling, win be for saleatthebuBln?as office of the paper, on'Friday morning.

A telegraph office ls opened to Newberry, and the Herald announces that "no longer win a pent up continent contract our powers, for the bound less universe shall bloors."

" .1 . . j,. ... Some Account of the Advantages of Walhalla for Active Settler?-F ive Hundred Acres Free to a Good Colony. A correspondent ol the New York World, writing from Walhalla, Oconee County, gives a highly interesting account of the progress of that town, which was established about twenty years ago by the German Emigration Society of the State of South Carolina, and of the natiral ad? vantages offered lu that vicinity to the right kind of settlers : The Town of Walhalla is pleasantly situated on a long ridge, level on the top, about ten miles east of the Bine Kldge Mountains, and contains seve? ral hundred imnses. There are now completed a Lutheran and a Methodist church; a Baptist church ls nearly under roof, and the Presbyteri? ans expect soon to et ect a house of worship for their own use. These is also a flourishing college and a flue school for girls. The climate ls con? sidered the doest and most salubrious in thc whole Southern country ; the thermometer rarely rises above 80 degrees in the summer, with cool nights and refreshing mountain breezes,, while In winter ice 1B rarely seen.the town being protected from the ohlUlug northern Masts by the moun? tain chain west and north of it. The country surrounding this place, especially on the south, east and north, for many miles ls undnlaiing and hilly, with interven lng rich bottom lands, containing the washings of the bills and mountains for centuries past, and presenting the black, loamy appearance so prevalent in the Western prairies, requiring no manures or fertilizers for many years. Wheat, rye, corn, oats, potatoes, tobacco, cotton, fruit and vegetables of all kinds pro w finely. Besides these, barley and hops flourish nere, and there ls reason to believe the grape culture will be remu? nerative, there being many hLl-aldes which pre-' sent the proper osposure for the cultivation of the vine. It ls also well known that the gold bearing veins intersect this country in various directions. Several or these have been explored, and promise abundant yield. Iron ore exists m great abundance, and of a very fine quality, with veins of primitive limestone In close prox? imity.. Lands can flow be purchased very cheap, at from $1 to $5 per acre, and ir oolonles could be formed consisting or ramdles who are willing to work, they conld purchase large tracts of rich landa on most accommodating terms and at extremely low prices. Some or the .more libe? ra -'minded land-owners bere.are so desirous or securing such settlers that they are willing to do? nate'-portions "of their -land to' perwrnS who win develop them properly. Mr. Christopher Jones (Whose post-office address ls Walhalla, S. C.,) prc-i poses to donate to active, energetic emigrants SOO acres in one body of good productive land, to be divided Into arty or one hundred acre lota according to the force of the occupants, reserving to himself the right of working or leasing to others to work the mineral veins which may exist on the tract. A remarkable natural site for mill purposes 19 also round here which includes a mill dam end race on Little River, fashioned by Nature ont or th? solid rock, as accurately as -man's best engineering skill could now construct lt with tim? ber and hewn stown. A CATTLE CATASTROPHE.-They ha7e gota drove or obstreperous cattle in Savannah, which they are trying to forward to 'this city under diffi? culties. The bovines, about four hundred in number, came by rall rrom Florida and being destined for the Charleston markot they were driven, on Wednesday, on board of the steamer San Antonio, bnt there a stampede occurred, and the herd all rushing to one side of the deck the boat was so careened as to put oat the.fires. Several cows were lust overboard and drowned, and the rest were driven to a pasture to await some saier mode of transportation. SATAN FINDS SOME MISCHIEF STILL, Ac Since the excitement ol the election has passed J ff, things have resumed their old quiet, and most or the trial Justices have little or nothing to lo. Mr. Thomas Jefferson Mackey is, however, on inew scent, and Ia reaping a harvest of business from which he evidently expects to recuperate als purse as well as als falling popularity.' A few lays ago, we were. Mctfmed that-jwerity:Slx iases of" corruption a't' tiu recent election'had teen brought before him, and the defendants Committed for trial. Yesterday lt was publicly jnuounced that two more had been added'to the 1st. The trial Justice has a right to go on as far is he pleases, but wno ls to pay for all these war? rants? It is hoped that the swollen bin will be , rigidly scrutinized, and the partisan Justice not iUowed to gratify his spleen at the .expense of ;he public coffers. UDRT .TIMES, FATHER NOAH."-SO the un? relieved said, thousands of years ago, and so Carolinians have been saying, not skeptically but noornfully, during the past two months. The windows of nc aven were opened, nowover, ia mo Genesis or the world, and the people had no occa? sion shortly afterward to complain of drought, ind In fact, with the exception or a very raw or the first ramilles o'r that period,they soin had little - occasion or ability to complain of anything. In like manner the windows of Heaven have now seen opened, and the rain descended with a inlet pertinacity that seemed determined to atone Tor the continued drought. The rain which had t>een steadily falling during most of Wednesday sight, began again at il A. M., yesterday, lu a gentle, refreshing shower that injured nobody. 1 ree men did not seem to mind It, nor the women , -much; the horses rather liked it, and the dere- i net street contractors absolutely revelled in lt and this lasted for one hour. Then the sun came , out, in an undecided sort or way at first, but soon with loree enough to realize over again old JEtoa'a . lngeo iou3 rabis of the elements. This lasted until . nearly six o'clock, when the floodgates were a gain , let down, and the rain fell In torrents. It de- 1 acended, as usual, on the Just and en the unjust, and Conservatives and Radicals ? alike hurried off to shelter. It came down steadi? ly, Implacably, remorselessly, and it lasted all the ; evening. The planters who had been watching : Ipr two weary months for some relief for their parched corn and .cotton crops, now began to hint ominously ora greater Damage in prospect. Irom the danger or continuous rains than had been caused by the long drought, and one invet? erate Btory teller was "reminded of a little story." As he related lt the heroine was at estimable Scotch lady of the strictest Presbyterian persua? sion who, In common with the whole or the parish, had been bagging the parson, during a severe spell of dry weather, to pray for rain. The' prayer was accordingly made, during the morning service, In the little kirk, which was crowded with good peo? ple, aud either in consequence or the petition or coincident therewith, the rain came down to such purpose that when the pions old lady stepped outside the church she found herself over her pat? tens m water. Whereupon the unreasonable dame, la her vexation, conld not abstain from exclaiming: "Eh, lassie, the dominie be a, main gude mon, but see how he hae o'erdoon this thing.?_ Hotel Arrivals-August 10, PAVILION HOTEL.

QUIRER will enter upon Ita seventeenth volume; and the success with which the proprietor has met In the past, m his efforts to publish a first class Literary and Family paper, has induced him to present attractions In the future, superior to 8ny heretofore offered. With this view, and for the purpose of securing ORIGINAL SERIAL STORIES of a high order, remunerative prizes were offered for the three best competitive stories.
