We oorj?tatulate the stockholders of ine Greenville and Columbia Railroad on the faot thai' tho future management of their road has passed into safe hands. By tho transfer recently effooted, we un? derstand that the Sooth Carolina Rail? road Company now have foll control of thia road, including the Laurena branch, and that they intend to put it upon a permanent basis. Whatever may be the fate of the ri ncr who have recently so unscrupulously manipulated its finances for their own personal ends, we hail this change as an inauguration-of a new ero, when our own industrial institutions will pass under t&e\in?uftgemeut of oor own capitalists, whose interests are identified with those of the State. Of course, ?o importante purchase has strained the resources of a company even as strong as we know the South Carolina Railroad Company to be; still President Magrath .has the earnest purpose to eztend the benefits of this investment, as far os practicable,, in the up country. Wo un doretrmd ho han made a moat liberal offer, to tho people of Laurens, which: should moot w;t^ a hearty ??d prompt rosponae. He> proposes1,'as Wo understand from the Lauronsville jfyruld, to issue bonds, Been red by a-first mortgage of the Lau? rene Railroad, bf whioh if the oomma nitie^tjieminterested will take- $5D;000, he pmmiaes to begin the rebuilding of th?^tosjd .forthwith. Th&^e,arecoupon honda, Mt seven pet cent., and he ia will? ing to 'put, thom upon tho marXot ut eighty cents in tho1 dollar. '. How.those who haye the means can hesitate to olose with an offer so liberal, we cannot con? ceive. " The investment itself will yield an. income-of, nine per cent., bat how muoh will j^his be enhanced by tho ad? vance in the-value of real estate, the market afforded for home productions, the development of dormant resources, and. the facilities of trade? Let the farmer take the single article of cotton. We understand the transportation by wagon to the nearest depot now to be ?bout $3 per bale. The railroad freight cannot exceed seventy-five cents, and this gain may safely be udded to his in? come by the farmer investing. A simple calculation will show that this item alone will yield three per oent. on the market Taine of the cotton, whioh, added to the eon pon interest, will give twelve per cent. We feel constrained to say to our Laarens frionds, if they allow thia "tide in the affairs of men" to pass by unim? proved, we oan hardly sympathise with them, should they find themselves thrown a century behind the times iu this age of progress. - It is related of a certain Roman Se? nator that he paid 313,000 for an ass, BO highly valued were these foolish and ob? stinate animals at that time. According to Representative Whipper, Gov. Scott paid $6,000 for Byes, the member from Orangeburg. It most be added that the brays of Byes, if not classical, have bo oome historical, and have been pretty effective. This is not all. Scott must have bought Byaa from a previous pur? chaser, for, according to Messrs. Bowen and Hurley, somebody-perhaps the TUMBLER Dennis-had previously bought Byas for $12,000 in the upholstery swin? dle. It is said thr# Nero shod his mules with gold and silver-not with mere plates-but the entire hoofs were en? closed in the precious metals. The little Ohio Nero must be imitating the corrupt, profligate Roman. The Roman Nero took the money of the Roman peo? ple to shoe his mnlea with gold and sil? ver. Soott takes the money of the peo? ple of South Carolina to buy up Byes and his crew. Conscience-stricken and trembling, after a long career of orime and licentiousness, the Nero of Rome, in disgust of himself, slew himself. Not many tears would be shed oither in Ohio or Carolina if the future should com? plete the analogy. .- ? ???-?

"In the night, imagining aome fear, Bow oaey ia a buah auppoaed a boar." Gall out the militia! Deolare martial lawl Thus cry out the tall poppies and the small puppies.

F. Paddon, which was un? occupied. It ignited from a fire in the woodp.-Charleston Courier. /_ -a.il i , i. i i.i - On Sunday last, in Trinity Oharob bera, the R?T. W. P. DnBose, Chaplain, presented 'tho olaims cf, the University of the Soo)h. ?*x addresses bia appeal to the var?ous congregations of theEpis oopal Ohm oh in South. Carolina, and to tho people -generally. As many of our reader* know, the-Rev. Mr. DOBOBO, a gifted South Carolinian, recently re? signed the. pastorate of the ohoroh in Abbeville , to - accept: .the ? Chaplaincy of the University of the South and a pro? fessorship in tho in?t? tn ti on. Tho oh a roh with which hQ.ia.assaoiated o?lled him to this work, and he obeyed the voice. He is now on a mission to'the State to raise funds for the benefit of the University. The Rev. Mr. DuBose has entered upon his work with great zeal. He holds that the University of the South will be the greatest boon that we of this generation oau bestow upon the ohnroh and upon our country-that there is the church's great opportunity. Aaa means of sound education, Mr. DnBose holds that tbie University deserves a liberal support. Io view of the growing disorganization and corruption of society, and the uncertain? ties bf the future, he suggested that, tc us, as parents, the education of the ris? ing generation ought to assume a nev? and very solemn importance. "We know not," said he, "what trials may be awaiting them, against what demoraliz lng and degrading influences they may have to contend in the chao go that ic coming over tho spirit of our people. Nothing but education, education ol mind and heart, can prepare them tc withstand the dangers we all so much dreed. If there ever was a time whee parents should make all eaorificen, nhoulc deny themselves all luxuries, and ever the necessaries of life, to seonro to theil children a thorough ?ducation on sonne principles, surely it is this. As citizens, as patriots, clinging to what is left to ui | of a civilization, a public tone, and cha motor, whioh we prize higher than life it seems to me that there is but ODO wa^ in which we can preserve what we are si loth to lose. And that is io build up, U guard zealously and to /osier carefully in fluential centres of Southern civilization whence our youth may go /orth through cu the Soutliern States to. aol as salt in arrest ing the progress of corruption." Tb young divine, who beautifully unites th piety of the Christian with the virtnes o the patriot, then went on to urge th policy ot ohnroh institutions of learning If the Episcopal Ohuroh proposed to en large ita borders, it must go to work t compete with Bomanists and with th more active Protestant bodies. Th speaker next dwelt upon the duty aa the philosophy of our giving of our sui stance to tho Lord and His works. Sdi he, most admirably, on this subjec "Giving of our substance must be r< stored among us to its trna place, as a integral part of religion and an aocep able act, of worship to God before we os hope to accomplish any practical resal worthy of a true branch of His churo! We can convert our earthly treusuri into treasures laid up in Heaven. W can make to ourselves friends of tl mammon of unrighteousness and pr pare ourselves with it a heartier welcon and a moro joyons entrance in the eve lasting habitations. Money is a /or correlated with, and convertible into, all fi forces moral as well as physical. It rej resents all values, and may be convert? into any of them. It assumes any fore like Proleus, and becomes to eaoh mc jost what ho makes it. * * In converting oar money into instit tions whioh are to become peronni fountains of Heavenly charity, or of i: telleotnal and spiritual light and life, v are converting it into invisible force whose operation we cannot trace or d teot here, but whose results will meet t hereafter and minister to us a bless< weloome and reooption into everlastii h imitations." The speaker then asked his hearers weigh carefully certain facts. He sa that the University of the Sonth was tl educational centre of ten Southern di Oeses-the only collegiate ohnroh ins! tuti?n in. the South; that it deserved liberal support and far more attentii than it had thus far received. lu i fonrth session, it had grown from nine nearly 240 students. From a mere p mary school, it had, within four yea become a University with seven or eig professors and a grammar school. ] said, farther, that Sswanee, the scat tho University, was a growing, tL ri vi town. Capital was flowing to it, a housos were springing up. What tho University, in its infam needed, was means. The speaker st that he proposed no general appeal. J intended simply to tell what they wai ed. Said he: "Oar most praotioul a primary neod, just now, is to effect separation between tho University si dents and tho grammar school boys, a to concontrato these latter in halls win supervision. * ,* * *; >wjth t?^? aysiesa of hall? for tba. boys attending the junior- e^artmini of the .UnlTe*v rity/ whfeh if at present tho larger part, ?|irM^ifliritt; bVttet - * * * ?. Kow, I aBk Ute diocese, to assist meto erect tho ?x?t'of these halts, and to make it a model for the rest" Said the self aaori fleing young nllniatcr, and the re? mark ia eloquent: .*ti? myselfgive half'-which is all that I have-andi ask for- the V?ifier likdfJ The. oost'ol J build*) . icg, furniture r*nd every thing will be about ?e.OOO^reo that I ask, for 84,000 from the 'diocese." The speaker went on to say, that thia hall was designed for South Carolina students, and would be uoder hiB special oharge. He next indi? cated that tho coopon notes system was dengned for the general University fond. These notos involve the obliga? tion of a contribution to the University, maturing, we believe, in five years, and the reverend speaker hoped that the dioceses would respond liberally. His object now was, however, to raiso the means to sot on foot the halls as above explained. We desire to say, that we congratulate tho University upon securing the sor vioeB of this gentleman, whoso appeal wo deem it a privilego to place thus in our columns. We have known tho Hov. Mr. DuBoso since the dews of youth rested upon his bright intellect und pure heart. He seemed always fashioned for tho work of God'a minister. He ra now in a responsible offioe. He expects to live and to die at Sowanee. In the nnmo of Qod, ho has set np a banner there, and engaged as he is in a noble work, the Lord of Hosts will bo with him, and the God of Jacob will help him. He will mako the youth under his charge pure Christians and loyal citizens-loyal to truth, to duty and their oountry-and he. will make a brave effort to bring back to the country its purer and better days, when official integrity and political fide? lity united with personal religion and individual honor: to make the count ry prosperous and contented. Oh, for the honest days of old! We cordially Commend our friend and his appeals to the State, of whioh he is a true and devoted son; and we venture also to commend his mission to the church of which he is the ornament and pride. All persona desiring to communicate with Mr. DaBose may address him at Charleston, up to February 1. After that, his address will be Sowanee, Tenn. -?-.?-?? A money artiole taken from a North? ern newspaper says: "A firm or a State will do better to redeem a promise standing in its name, however obtained or exacted, and apply its caution rather to future unlawful is? sues than to such os may have passed already into the possession of innocent holders. For one who cannot meet an obligation through any sacrifice what? ever wo have nothing but pity; but for those who repudiate their pledges be? cause they have been cheated, and this is the most convenient way of seeking redress, we have only au emphatic and sweeping condemnation. He that changes not, although "to his own hurt" he must keep the promise that stands in bia name, is the only true man by the text of a philosophy that has a higher than haman sanction. Wo never kuew a man to regret that ho had overcome the temptation to repudiate a pledge wrougly extorted, whioh it was still right for him to redeem." This is very convenient doctrine for the bond-holder; but it is not so vory clear to people generally. All tho bottle holders in the country to the bond-hold? ers cannot convince plain, honest people that they are called upon to assume the fraud bonds ot swindling officials. Nei? ther in ethics or oat of ethics does aoy such obligation exist. To say that thc peoplo of South Carolina are bound tc assume the responsibility of the over? issues of the ring is nonsense, or some? thing worse. -? m ? ? -- AoRicui/runa.-We are indebted to a friond for a oopy of a pamphlet contain' ing the addresses oonneoted with the seventy-sixth annual mooting of the Agricultural Sooiety of Sooth Carolina. This society of Charleston was formed in tho year 1795. On January 12, 1871, the seventy-sixth annual meeting wac hold. The pamphlet contains tho ad dress by tho Hon. N. B.

THE ABBEVILLE Fins.-Wo take the following account of the great fire in Abbeville from tho Medium extra, of the 20th inst: It id our duly to chroniolo, this week, tho most terrible calamity that has ever befalleu the village of Abbeville. Tho 'shrill cry of "fire, fire," aroused tho p-?ucofully sleeping inhabitants of Abbe? ville, ou yesterday morning, at about balf-pnst 1 o'clock, und for throe mortal hours the "fire king" madly raged and ruled. The streets wore thronged with a noisy, buBtling, excited crowd, und what, with mad dames, leaping up to kiss the skies, flying women, frantic negroes and earnest workers, tho occa? sion wa? "grand, gloomy and peculiar." A great deal of property wan destroyed, and it is estimated that ?75,000 will not oover the losses. The reports as to tho origin of the fire are various and cou flioting. A thousand rumors are afloat about the origin, progresatand incidents of the great fire. Some allege it to have been the work of an incendiary, while others attribute it to . o han oe; if the for? mer, we hope that the perpetrotoraof so hellish a deed may be apprehended and made to suffer the full penalties of the law; if the latter, we advise greater cau? tion in the future. The fire is said to havo started in Mrs. Bowie's kitchen, and to have been unmanageable before disoovery. This hooso was situated just back of the row of buildings known as Knox's range, and built of lamber, was a fit subject for the inauguration of BO terrifio a conflagration. Knox's wholo row of buildings were destroyed, the Conrt House, Marshall House, and the row of old shanties next to the Marshall House. Buoh conduct os we witnessed of a great many persons present was a dis? grace to manhood. While the flames were lickiug up everything, gaping pro? digies of manhood filled the streets, and never lifted a bund to help the brave. While those held back and were dis graoed, othors rushed forward and bo oitme "covered all over with glory." Doctor?, lawyera and preachers all took a band in fighting the great "fire king." The Marshall House was totally con? sumed with a great part of its appurte? nances. It had been much improved recently by its proprietors, Messrs. Wil , son and Cothran, and was a neat, fine looking building-an ornament to onr town. A groat part of Mr. Mays'-the lessee-furniture and bedding waa lost. The lower story of the Marshall House was out into store-rooms, and tboir oc? cupants, Trowbridge & Co. and Trregor & Bequest, were heavy losers by its buming. Trowbridge & Co. saved about half of their stock of goods, and Trmger ?fe Bequest the larger portion of theirs. Kaphan & Sklarz, on the Knox range, lost a part of their stock, and John Knox lost nearly all of bis large and well se? lected stock of groceries, ?fee. Every bar room in the place was destroyed, and we behove they were a total loss, not being oovorcd by insurance of any kind. The largo number of those bnrnt out were totally or partially insured. Tho Marshall House was insured for $3,000, in the London Globe Iusuranae Com? pany. The following named parties had insurance policies in the Continental, of New York: Hov. Dennis O'Neal], in $1,000; Kaphan & Sklarz, in 81,250. Ia the Hartford: Kaphan ?fe Sklarz, in 81,250; Trowbridge & Co., in 83,000. In the Riohmond Banking: John Knox, in 83,000. lu the Andes: John Knox, in 84,000; Rev. Dennis O'Neall, in 81,000 a total of 820,000. A great deal of stealing was done during the progress of the fire, and ae much lost hy roguery nearly as was lost by fire. No ordor existed whatever among tho people, and it is strange thal anything at all was saved. FORTIFYING THE FORTS.-Wo are credi' hiv informed that orders have been re? ceived here, from Washington, to pul Forts Sumter aad Moultrie ia a good state of defence, and that, in pursuance thereof, tho mounting guns of bonvj calibre will begin at once.

The Senate, in executive session, ap? proved of the following appointments: Trial Justices-Union County-Golden Foster, vice J. W. E. Yonng, removed; A. A. Hammett, vice B. F. Rowles, re? moved. Kershaw.Oouuty-James Davis, vice J. A. Schock, resigned. Barnwell County-Jacob P. DePass, W. B. Wil? liams. The resignation of Hon. T. J. Mackey, as Trial Justice, was accepted, be hav? ing been elected Judge of tho sixth Cir? cuit. Tho following bills were passed: Bills to empower fathers to ligitimizo certain children by last will and testament; to regulate the grunting of divorces; to nmeud on Act to incorporate the Colum? bia, Walterboro aud Yemasoe Railroad, with certain amendments; to renew and amend tho charter of the town of Lowndcsville, County of Abbeville; to empower the Judges of the Court of Probate in their respective Counties to Usue executions; to amend an Act en? titled "An Act to amend an Aot entitled 'An Aot to establish and maintain a system of free common schools for Hon th Carolina;'" to establish a publio road in Barnwell and Orangebnrg Counties. A number of bills were read the second time and referred. At 2 P. M., the Senate adjourned until tb-morrow, at 12 M. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Tho House met at 12 M., Speaker Moses in the Chair. A quorum not being present, the Honso adjourned until to-morrow, at 12 o'clock. The correspondent of the Charleston News, speaking of the "Grand Conned of the Independent Order of United Brethren," Baye: "This is the measure that proposes to institute the Governor's imitation of the En Klux Klan. I am told that the or? ganization is already perfected with Lis Excellency as the Grand Cyclops, and little oyolopses in all the Counties, and with S. J. Lee, of Edgefieid, as the Mogul of the Hoono, with a following of aeventy-six Representatives, sworn mem? bers of the U. B. The bill reoeived rongh handling from a few of the mem? bers, bot of conree its passage waa a fore? gone oonolnsion. Hurley moved to amend the list of in corporators by strik? ing out the name of iE*>p Goodson and inserting in its place the names of R. K. Scott and T. J. Mackey. He said that it was well known that these persons were not only members, but high officials, of this new-fashioned Ku Elnx, and he submitted that the colored men who were named in tho bill should uot be BO exclusive as to draw distinctions against Scott and Mackey, on account of oharacter. Whipper moved to strike out 'independent' and insert 'Sett,' so as to read the 'Scott Order of United Brethren,' and furnish a more accurate definition of the machine; and another moved to amend by substituting 'de? pendent' for 'independent,' SB it was very evident tho gang proposed to be dependent npon somebody for pap and plnnder. The amendments were of course voted down, and the bill, as re? ported, panned under tho operation of tba previous question by a vote of 67 to 23. It is understood, however that the bill will find a grave in the Senate, where it is said tho order hos but two mombors, and thus this patent En Klux will at least fail to clothe itself in the guise of legislative endorsement." -? ?? ? ? PREPARINO FOR WAR.-The Savannah Advertiser says that the steamship Mag? nolia, on her last trip from New York, brought out some twenty or more labor? ers, this instalment to be further in? creased at that port to the number of 100 men, to constitute the working foroe of Col. Ludlow, of tho United States Engineers, who will ot once oommeuoe operations in building extensive and formidable earthworks, and otherwise strengthening the fortifications of Fort Pulaski. INHUMAN.-A woman named Adele Mcdill was carried before Trial Justice Gleavcs, of Beaufort, says tba Republi? can, on Tuesday, charged with brutally assaulting a child. It is alleged that the child was accused of telling a falsehood; whereupon Mrs. McGill heated a poker and burned the lips and face of the obild iu a dreadful manner. Aftor a prelimi? nary examination, the woman was bailed, to appear agaiu for further investigation of her brutality. FIRE IN BEAUFORT.-A fire occurred near tho Baptist Church, Beaufort, last week, destroying the frame building in which it oocurred.
