j TO AD1ERTISERS. The proprietors of THE NEWS and The Cou? rier find it indispensable to the accurate and prompt management of their business, and for the protection ot advertisers, that the practice of sending advertisements from one newspaper office to the other be discontinued. They, therefore, give notice that no advertise? ments received at the one office will, in any case, be sent to the other. At the same time they beg leave to request advertisers to hand in their favors at as early an hour as possible, in order to facilitate their proper arrange? ment. _ ' _ That Waltz of Von Weber's. Gayly and gayiy rang the gay music. The blithe, merry music ol oarp and of horn, The mad, merry music, that set ns a-dan lug Till over the midnight came ateallog the morn. Down the great hall went waving the banners, Waving and waving their red. white and blue, As tbe sweet sommer wind came blowing and blowing From the city's great gardens asleep in the dew. Under the flags, as they floated and floated, Under the arctics and arches of flowers, We two and we two floated and floated Into the mystical midnight hours. And just as the dawn came stealing and stealing, The hut of these wild Weber waltzes began; 1 can hear the soft notes now apr ealing and plead? ing, And 1 catch the faint scent of the sandalwood ran Tba?ay in y oar band, your hand on my shoulder, As down the great ball, away and away. All under the flags and nuder the arches, We danced and we danced till the dawn of the j day. Bot why should I dream o'er this dreary old ledger, in thu counting-room down in this dingy old street, Of that night or that morning, Jost there at the j dawning. When our hearts beat in time to our fast-flying feet? What ls lt that brings me that scent of enchant? ment. So fragrant and fresh from ont the dead years, Taut just for a moment I'd swear that the music Of Weber's wild waltzes was still in my ears? What la lr. Indeed, in this dusty old alley. That brings me that night or that morning in June Y What ls it, indeed?-I laugh to confess it A hand organ grinding a creaking old tune i But somewhere or other I caught in the measure That waltz of Von Weber's, and back lt aU came, That night or that morning, jost there at tbe dawning, When I danced tbe last dance with my first and last flame. My first and my last I bat who would believe me If, down in this dusty old alley to day, 'Twixt the talk about cotton, thc markets and money, I should suddenly turn In some moment and say That one memory had only left me a lon el / And gray-bearded bachelor, dreaming of Junes. Where tbe nights and ibe mornings, from the dusk to the dawn lags, Seemed set to the music of Weber's wild tunes ! [Nora Perri/ injune Galaxy NOTES FROM EDISTO ISLAND. Tn? Weather anil the Crop Prospect- | I unproved Method or Planting-Mul? tiplication of Stores-The Labor Ques? tion-Increased Thrift of tile Colored People-The Projected Railroad lo the Island-Probability of Its Success. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] EDISTO ISLAND, Hay 18. The planters are having a substantial verifi? cation of the old saw, "It never rains but it pours." Wednesday afternoon they were blessed with a thunder shower; Thursday after? noon we had a very severe wind, rain and bail Btorm; and a soaking rain for the greater part of Friday night. This morning ls cloudy and blustering, giving fair promise of more rain before the sun goes down. The cotton crop is very promising, the stands are excellent, the fields free from grass, and the plant ls grow* lng finely. Very little corn seems to have been planted so far, and in such fields of it as can be seen from the roads, the crop is rather backward. The material prosperity of the Island seems to be increasing. The plantera generally have curtailed the area of their operations, and are devoting ' -?creased time and attention to the oultlvation of a ^maller number ol acres. The I system which prevailed a year or two ago of | Slanting the greatest number of acres poss! le, p.ad only half cultivating them, ls fast dy io;; out, and He better plan of planting only that number of acres to which the most care? ful cultivation can be given ls very generally adopted. The number o? stores on me island is qalte surprising. In addition to (he small "commissary" kept by every planter, there are on & single public road no lesa than nine large atorec within a distance of eight miles. There has likewise been a marked improve? ment in the conduct and condition of the negro. All observant men agree that he la more polite and less turbulent than formerly. There ls some difference of opinion as to bis * disposition to work, some men of intelligence maintaining that he ls growing lazier each year, while others hold that he ls getting more industrious. The truth Is, probably, that he will work well tor thone who watch bim closely. There ls no question as to tte improvement ot his pecuniary condition. There ls scarcely an individual darkey, of industrious habits, but owns his horse or mule, and there are not a few who own or hire their twenty to forty acres of land. The great project of the day here ls the building of the Adam's Run and Big Bay (nar? row guage) Railroad. An act authorizing the construction of said road was passed during the recent session ol the legislature. The road will ras from Adam's Bun, on the Savan? nah and Charleston Railroad, to either Edlngs's or Pig Bay, on the seashore ot Edisto Island. Its completion will pat Charleston in daily communication with one of the most de? lightful watering places on the Atlantic coast. With such names among its Inoorporators as j Hon. William Alkea, Hon. John Townsend, and a number of other equally respectable gentlemen, the scheme can hardly fail to be successfully carried out. A preliminary sur? vey of the proposed route was made on the I 16th instant by superintendent Gadsde ., of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad. The construction of the road will be commenced some time next lall; the actual survey will be begun immediately. Books of subscription to the stock were opened on the 4th instant, and considerably more than one hundred shares were taken in ten days. The growing traffic between Charleston and Edisto and vi? cinity renders the completion of this road an absolute and growing necessity. SPRITE. A STORY OF 1S7?. How a Civilized Government Treats Unoffending Citizens. The Laurensvllle Herald, of the 17th, pub llshea the following communication, signed "J. A. L.:" Thinking it might be gratifying to our per? secutor?, and edifying to our friends, to put on record some connected account of our recent "captivity," I take my pen to sketch only the most prominent points. For lear of implica? ting any one else, by the sentiments I may here express, I will mk the charge of egotism, and give my personal experience and individ? ual opinion. On that memorable Sabbath morning, March 31st, when quietly preparing for my Bible class, In my own parlor, I was arrested by a deputy marshal, under t warrant for "conspi? racy and murder," and t oon after marched to the parlor of Mr. Josep'i Crews, where I was confined tor the balance ol the day. As the ma? jority of Mr. Ri le j'o male members, including two of his sessions were there, we had the afternoon service in this same parlor. At sun? set we were marched to the jail aud plunged into the dungeons. Here we were kept uutil about midday on Monday, when we were graciously allowed the use of the passage and the "debtor's room." On Wednesday morning we were hurried off, in road wagons, some eighteen In all, to Union jail, escorted by a company of cavalry. As we travelled most of the time in a cold, driving rain, our clothes, shawls and blankets were pretty well saturated with moisture when we reached that jail, some time alter dark. No dry blankets could there be fur nished us, ar. the jailor told us all his supply had been burnt ia efforts to restrain the re? cent are. Thia rather threw a wet blanket over our Drospecta fur a night's rest, but we got through that night too. Tue next day we were hurried to the cars, and reached Colum? bia about sunset. Here we were marched In procession lrom the depot to the jail, bur? dened with our baggage, and flanked by crowds of negroes of all ages and sexes, who seemed to enjoy the pageant huge? ly. Here again we were introduced to the convict's cell, and confined with more or less strictures for two weeks, before we were summoned before the Unlied States commis? sioner, for the first lime, to leura what lt all meant. I pass over the fixing a day for the examination before the commissioner, about a week afterwards, the ridiculous farce of the examination itself, and the awrul sentence of the court-''remanded to Jail lor trial at this term of the Circuit Court." "On to Charles? ton" was then the next move. As the curiosi? ty ol the ruling class in Columbia had been well nigh satiated with Ku-Kiux pageant?, the gentlemen from Clinton were handcuffed, "two and two, Newgate fashion," to give some new zest to this show, and iu that fix were marched to the depot in Columbia, and lrom the depot In Charleston to th? House of Cor? red ion-something over a mlle. About a week alterward?, the writer was also sent to Charleston with the Laurens pris? oners. The handcuff show was attempted on bim, too, but thanks to the size ot friend Mac's wrisr, lt was a failure. The law ol the impen? etrability of matter would have hada hard squeeze, If our five hundred pounds had been forced Into one car seat all that night. We were marched first to the Jail in Charleston, and afterwards removed to the House of Cor? rection, thus making a circuit of five jails In less than five weeks. ThlB was on Wednesday, the 1st of Mav, and on Friday, the 3d, lt was announced ll?at Judge Bond hud signed an or? der for the release of all prisoners, giving bail from five thousand to len thousand dol? lars. Saturday night I was again in my par? lor, within a lew hours of Uve weeks lrom the lime I left it so abruptly. HEART DISEASE. Facts anti Figures. The tendency of modern investigation Into the Influence of civilization on longevity seems to show a twofold series of agencies at work. On the one hand, sanitary improvements and the lessened mortality from epidemics un? doubtedly lend to diminish the average death? rates; but, on thc olner hand, there is practi? cally much less improvement in total death? rates than might be expected if these amelio? rating causes were not counterbalanced by the increasing fatality of other claeseB ot dis? ease, such as disease of the brain ana heart. It | is important to recognise the precise lads. The excess may, probably, to some extent be regarded as an unavoidable resin t of the great J menial sirain und hurried excitement of these times, in which steam and electricity mark time for us in an overcrowded community where compeliiition is carried lo tho highest point, and where the struggle lor existence, not to say for Intellectual and other distinc? tion, ls carried on with sleepless and exhaust ingeoergy. Butan evil recognised issomeilmes half cured; und t he intellectual chispes, look lug al figures such as i hose which Dr. Quain bas displayed at his interesting Ltimleian lec? tures ai the College of Pbysiciaus, on diseases of the walls of the heart, may well consider the propriety of attending to the hygiene of their lives, as well as of their houses; and to remember thar, to enjoy and benefit by even pure air, soil and water, they m URL avoid dis? abling heart and brain by the Incessant, labors which loo ofteu make useful lives joyless, and embitter the harvesting of the crop which has been but loo diligently sown. These warning figures tell ibat, during the last iwenty years. Hie total deaths of males of all ages from heart disease, has increased In number from 5746 in 1851 to 12,428 in 1870. The percentage of deaths from heart disease for 1000 of popula? tion living, was .755 between the rears 1851 and 1855; it has risen to 1.085 from 1860 to 1870. This Increase, it must be observed, too, hus taken place wholly in conn-ct ion with the working years ol active social lite. There ls no change In the percentage of deaths from this cause In males under twenty-live years ol age. Between twenty and forty-five j ears of age, lt has risen from .553 to .709. and that al? most exclusively in males, (or lhere Is almost no Increase In the percentage of females dying from heart disease during the twenty-five years oflife from 21 to 45. These figures convey their own lesson, and wara ns to take a Utile more care, not to kill ourselves for the sake ol'living.-British and Medical Journal. Ktvo Publications. mmTNElv^ JL CENTS.
