Prosperity In the Upper Country?Its
Duty to iU* State?
Amongst the many gratifying signs
of improvement in our up-country, we
notioe that in Greenville, oompanieB
are getting up estimates as to gas
works, a street railroad -and water
? ..it J ? i i
works, with a view of carrying out
these enterprises in that city.
la Auderson, quantities of lumber
may be seen passing through the
streets every day, bound for siteB
whereon flue new resideno:s are to be
erected. Major Humphreys, of that
place, has this season raised seventy
nine bushels of ohoioe wheat on three
sores of lend, and forty-five bushels of
oats on less than s half aar j of land.
Efforts are being mode to. endow s
professorship in the Nowberry (Lu?
theran) College at Walhalla, to be
named for the distinguished and ex?
cellent Dr. Bach man. i
A large-body of Canadians are mak?
ing arrangements to settle in Chester
County.
Interest in education is growing in
all this fine section. Tho commence?
ments and examinations recently held
of Farmen and Wofford Universities,
of the Howberry College, and of the
High Sohool and Female College at
Greenville, nave been well attended.
Col. Dodamead thoughtfully extended
the privilege to visitors to these seve?
ral institutions of. learning, of paying
fare one way and returning free within
certain idates, ' The, commencement
exeroises of WiUiamston Female Col?
lege and of Erekiuo College, Dae
West, are to tako place noit week.
We look to this beautiful Piedmont
region with great interest and hope.
It escaped many of the horrors of war.
It was not .swept by ? the incendiary
fires of Sherman. It is peopled prin?
cipally by intelligent white men, who
are not afraid of work, and who ap?
preciate' the blessings of civilization,
It is especially favored iu its bracing
snd healthy climate. It should exert,
as it is capable of doing, a decided re?
formatory and healthful influence' in
onr State affairs. Let it Bend its best
men in intelligence! character, honesty
and boldness into the publio-councils.
It is inconsiderable how much positive
good, how much prevention of harm,
could be. effected in the Legislature,
for instanoe, by men; wi tu de Vor mined,
resolut? wills and just, opinions, snd
who rightly approciatathe situation of
things.' Not a few of the evils which
afflict the State to-day, snd much of
the disgrace whioh rests upon its name,
might have been prevented had we
had real substantial men in the places
of some, who, not themselves corrupt,
were yet mere tools and noses of wax
in the hands of corrupt villains. We
want no more pliables, neutrals and in?
dependents, Bo-oalled, in places of re?
sponsibility and trust. The times, the
emergencies whioh are before us, de?
mand a different order of men to meet
them. We trust that we shall sea in
the next Legislature a full contingent
of euoh superior men from our op
country Counties.

"If it should be, then the foxes that
have holes, bud the birds that bavo
nests, had better hunt them up at onoe,
without waiting for the thuuder-bolt
and the storm. For this State will be
like a tall pine tree, sbakeu by a great
wind, with the red lightning coiling
around its heart and rending it asun?
der; while the Republican star of vic?
tory will go out in darkness and defeat,
and the places that knew us will know
us no more forever."?Union-Herald.
Bully! Foxes, birds, tall pines, tho
Republican star of victory, and tho
places, the dear comfortable places,
that now know "us"?most stand from
under, or be incontinently smashed.
"Blow, wind, and orack your choeksl raced
blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoos, spout!"
If night, aud storm, and darkness,
which are "wondrousstrong," will but
just do this thing, this "rendering
asunder," and "coiling around," &c,
then will they, indeed, be "lovely in
their strength, as is the light of a dark
eye in woman."

South OABox,iNA.~rThe New York
World, speaking of the South Caro?
lina "Conservatives," says:
Their only aonrse is tp make their
own platform, whioh should be simply
"opposition to Radical corruption,"
place some able, earnest and liberal
minded man like Col. Lathers at the
head of their ticket, and go boldly
into the light. If they should not win
a victory in this way, they will cer?
tainly oouquer oonoessious, and thoso
they most ussuredly will not got either
direotly or iudireotly by any so-called
Republican reform movement.
Only Parly, and Nothing More .
What does the Union-Herald mean
when it speak a ofj.3 the -opposition ip
this State as not different from a po?
litical opposition iii.auy other Stjatjo?
The Union-Herald treats everything
from a purely ps.ty stsndipaisi, Isa
even the fervor of party zeal should
have its limits. It is not the faot that
there is any regularly organized politi?
cal opposition contenting the nomina?
tions,' appointments or elections in
this State. The platform upon whioh
those who have opposed the down?
ward tendency of thiDgs here for the
laBt four or rive years has been simply
the platform of decent, honest and
economical government. No Demo?
crat, no Conservative, as auoh, hua
been run for office. When Judge
Carpenter and Oeneral Butler were
presented for the suffrages of the peo?
ple, it was surely not aa Democrats
pat forth by a Democratic party.
Those who bolted from the regular
Radical party at the last nomination
and tried to get in candidates of a
better type in oharaoter, were, to some
extent, supported by Democrats, but
because regarded as better men. In
all the length and breadth of this
State there has appeared no party
movement which should give the Radi-,
oftle any uneasiness. The ory is simply
for a government that men can live]
under without forfeiting self-respect?
for a government not represented by
fellows only fit for a penitentiary.
That is all. We know you have a set?
tled majority. We merely ask you to
wield it in the interests cf the whole
people. You would show some sense,
it is true, and give an earnest of ?in
oerity, if you oould get out of your
narrow oonfiuos of party ideas and
party purposes.

The lat of July is the semi-annual
dividend day, when millions of dollars
will be paid in interest. The New
York Express says that with so much
capital scattered all over the country,
and iutereBt so low on all money pnt
on call, with the grain crops full of
promise, the cotton crop to be, in all
probability, far more that was antici?
pated six weeks since, there is every
reason to hope for a better Btate of
business in the coming autumn than
the country has enjoyed for any sea?
son'for two years past.
Libbbia.?It is unfortunate for Rev.
Mr. lily don, that just us he began tout?
ing bin horn in praise of Liberia, and
urging negroes to go there, squads of
disgusted black people should be re?
turning to this country and blabbing
out the truth. Here is the latest ex?
perience:
The Hawkinaville Despatch says four
negroes who left that place in Novem?
ber, 1872, for Liberia, returned last
Monday night, completely cured by
their experiouce of life in that Afrioao
republic It adds that old Joe Burch'o
wife, the enthusiastic n egress, who, a
short while before she left for Liberia,
jumped up and olupped her hands to?
gether, and thanked her God that she
was going wbera there was no poor
white trash, is now vary anxious to
get back, and has sont letters hero beg?
ging the white people to heip her re?
turn. She is now working for S2 a
month.
"Old Joe Burch's wife" may as well
remain. Iu case tho white people
sent her money to got baok, she would
pretty soon abuse them as much as
ever.
A Loudou letter thus gossips about
the Queen: "Her Majesty is now iu
the midst of her faithful Highlanders,
and enjoyiug herself in her own way.
As soon us Bhe got to Balmoral she at?
tended the funeral of one of her owu
gbilties, going to tbo house of the de?
ceased aud laying a wreuth of flowers
on tho coffin at tho end of tho servioe.
A few nights after there was a servants'
ball at tho castle, aud iu tho course of
the evening the Queen not only coun?
tenanced the proceedings by her pre?
sence, bnt took part in the dancing.
She danced with Prince Albert Victor
and Prince George, sous of tho Prince
of Wales, and afterwards took part iu
a reel with John Brown, her uttoudaut,
and Donald Stowart, game keepar. It
is easy to understand what a relief this
must havo beeu after the severe eti?
quette of an Imperial reception. This
is tho first time that the Queen h is
danced since tho death of tuo Prince
Gousort. I leave you to imagiuo the
state of mind of society on the arrival
of this interesting pieco of news, and
all the oommouts, rumors and conjec?
tures to whioh it has given rise. Ex?
cept at Balmoral her Majesty never at?
tends a ball or even a concert."

fourth the money subscribed would bo
called for on the 20th of July, another
ou the 20th August and another 20th

business. It is suid to be the intention
of the present owners of the road to
put it iu running order by early fall.

How Some Young Ladies Amuse
Themselves.?"His body will be pre?
served on ice till his friends arrive."
What a ghastly realism there is in the
sound 1 And yet It is the last sentence
of a love story?one of those love
storieB that only beaome known to the
.world through the intervention of that
grim functionary, the coroner, the
Rhadamanthus of our modern life.
Wiley was from Boston and lived in
San Francisco, and he loved very des?
perately, it seemB, a certain Miss Jen?
nie Short. They were engaged to be
married, and Wiley had in his eyes the
golden marriage of a happy future
with the woman he adored. Bnt, to
use Mies Jennie's own phrase, "the
charm had passed with her." She had
got over it. It was "a yonthful folly
indulged in to paBs away the time
pleasantly enough, and that, she
thought, should be the end of it; and
all this she wrote to her heart-broken
lover in what she calls "plain English."
Her letter to the effect that she did not
love him and would not marry him
was written on June 4. On June 7,
he made an excursion with a friend to
visit some ladies who lived near her,
but they did not see her; so the last
hope that was covered by that thin
pretext failed, and on the 10th of June
somebody went up to Wiley's room
and found htm quieted from an over?
dose of landanum; and now Miss Jen?
nie Short's jilted lover is "on ice."
