A.ma,p of good address arriv?e in Savannah.and .announced bis inten tion to bira a cotton plantation. Ht was treated kindly and hospitably every where. After looking at Several, ht finally leased for a term of five years on? of tbe largest and most productive plan tations of the neighborhood. The for mer slaves of the owner of the property applied for employment, and the lease' made them an offer. The colored peo pie came to Savannah and consultee their old master. He told thom th wages wore tc small, urging as a rcosoi that they bau worked all their lives 01 tho property, and could develop a bette crop on it than auy other set of labor ers. They acted under bia advi.ee, nm made a fair proposition in a contrae drawn by their adviser. It was accoptai and thoy commenced work. Ono of th stipulations in the contract was tho each negro should bo allowed for part 0 bis compensation to cultivate a littl patch, of .specified size, in cotton, i lieu of tho money value of its probabl yield. Tho lessoe and his workmen go along well together till the end of th first yoar. They bad a good yield and large crop.

He bas not boen heard c since. The plantation owner and th negroes were both swindled. Som more cases but little leas flagrant tha this have attract ed m jr attention, an have caused mo to wonder that ama communities, w hero tho faots soon sprout' will bear these hardships as patiently s they do.

Preston delivered' tho address before tho Preston and Calbohn Literary Societies of Wofford College j on Tuesday. Tho subject of the address j was the "Influence of Religion upon Civil Li ?erty." Need we say that it was one of the most brilliant intellectual ef? forts wp have ever listened to? All who know Gen. Preston^or have -heard bim. cannot bot be impressed with bis powers 1 of elocution. Graceful on tbe rostrum, eloquent in action and powerful intel? lectually, he has complete sway over bis hearers. His musical voice, command? ing persona! appearance, combined with lus strength pf intellect, make him the strongest and most popular orator of tho State. The address was an effort in be? half of tho expansive principle, that Christianity is a power, both in civilizi tion and just government. Lot the ma? licious dogmus of a party be foisted upon a people, they can, as they will, neutral? ize the influence of the propagandist. Pure religion is the salutary and saving influence of the government. Property may be swept away, cities destroyed by tho invading couquer^'yet the^inner I temples ot the living God will be pre? served. These were about, substantial ly, the teachings and tenor of thought of the address. Certainly in our prescht condition as a people, there is io this a consoling thought. Wo hope the ad? dress.will be printed. These exercises will end on Wednes? day.

On the 17th of Juno, 18(1-1, a year to a day exuotly, lie reached Ins old home and made a speech in Dayton, then laboring under an apprehension of renewed mili j tary arrest. On tho 17th of Juno, 1871, ho died a viotim lo an unlucky accident from his own hand. It so happened that it was seven years after bis re? turn, and in a year in which the figure seven so prominently appears to mark tho dato." An attempt at a joko resulted fatally to a gentleman named Ford, on Leading Creek, Virginia, last week. Mr. Ford happoned near a Mr. Hornet's boneo | with a panther skin, and seeing a little boy, about twelve or fourteen years of age, a son of Mr. Hornet, in a skirt of woods near the house, donned the skinj with the intention of frightening thel little fellow; but as soon aa tho boy saw what he supposed to be a panther, he ran to the boneo and took down his father's rifle and wont in pursuit, of it. After going a lijttle way he espied it, and renting the rifle on* a fence, fired. The I roan pantbor gava a dying shriek, and, with a convulsivo spasm', fell over mor? tally wounded.
