1 ~ ? A friendhaaue with sS ?
struct from a private letter juut received ,
v from Dr. Parker, the Missionary Surgeon of
Can toil, which will he reed with interest.
Dr. Parker went from Farinington, Massachusetts
about twenty years ago, and has reaided
in China ever since. JNo foreigner,
probably, has eeer had so fully the confi- |
donee of the Chinese, or enjoyed such opportunities
for famtlar intercourse with that pe- ;
culiar people. This familiarity has been i
brought about by the Doctor's Medical and )
surgical attendance among them. Dr. Par- |
> ker haa probably performed or directed more .
surgical operations than any man living.
One cf hio reports gives the nnrnberof cases
attended to be him at 23,000 ! The preva
rant surgical c??w are iuusw ui uiwnws ui iiiu i
eye and tumor*.. Mrs. Parker was the first
christian female foreigner, so far as is known
who entered Canton. This she did in tho
night time in disguise. Hie letter is dated
Canton, July 18, 1854, and reads as follows:
"China is at present the theatre of civil
war and revolution, and within tho last fortnight
all their horrors have been exhibited
very near to us. On the 8th of July, Fiebsohn,
a town 10 or 12 miles west of Canton,
embracing nearly a million of people fell into
the power of insurgents, and the insurgents,
and the imperialists have endeavored
in Vain to recapture H. The smoke bv day
w and fire by night of burning villages have
been visible from my terrace. On the 13 th
inst^ the first blood was shed on the north of
this city, a few miles distant if we except
that spilt by the sword of the executioner,
tho number of decapitations daily averaging
60 or 60, and for the last ten years 50,000.
To-day there has been a second battle in this
vicinity?68 iusturgents taken prisoners, and
one hundred slain.
"Day before yesterday the insurgents were
victorious, and 800 imperialists were killed.
It it said some of the captives to-day were
brought in on poles, their hands and feet
being tied like pigs, others were brought in
on the points of 6harp bamboo* some
have their ears cut off; others are
ham-strung. The panic in the city, as the
gate* were cioaed during these skirmishes,
and the (light of women and children, it is
difficult to portmy ; and from hour to hour
we know not what may become the condition
of foreigners. But most fortunately at
present there is a naval foroe?British and
Amercan?able to protect us against any
inob. Alas I for China. It would seem that
declaration, that the nations that will not
serve God, shall be destroyed, is about to l?o
fulfilled. Our only consolation is, the Lord
rcigneth !"?notion Traveller.
Oysters.
A correspondent of the National Intelligencer,
writing from Baltimore, says of the
oysters the present season :
V X It is a somewhat singular fact, and one
important to be generally known, that the
oysters of our waters thus far this season, including
the Chesa|>oakc bay and its tributaries,
have proved markedly deleterious to
health. In several instances, to niv own
knowledge, persons have been taken violently
ill, after eating them (raw esueciallv.l with
cramp colic, cliolcra morbus, die., and in
some cases death ensued. Crabs, too, have .
produced similar results. An old and ex- '
perienced fisherman?one amongst the most <
faithful caterers in fish, crabs, oysters, and l
other articles of the kiud, in our city?has (
just informed me that, in his judgment, oys- (
tela and crabs, this season, are impure,, unhealthy,
possessed of some poisonous sule '
stance, and unsafe to be eaten. lie says 1
both oysters and crabs never move (the for- j
merly especially) from their original beds; ,
and in the absence of rain or fresh water reuuisite
to their healthful growth, thev absorb
a poisonous substance, which in fact, after 9
they have beet| taken from the water a short t
time, kills them,any they turn or assume an c
unnatural color. As an evidence of his want t
of faith in the healthfulness of these delicacies,
founded upon practical observaton, my
fish-merchant friend, whilst he is disposed
to sell the best oysters and crabs that can be I
produced to meet the demands of a pressing j
market, has not faith sufficiently strong to eat .
them himself, lie says rain and frost are .
absolutely requisite, after aprotrated drought,
to make either oysters or crabs a safe diet. *
With fish it is different They migrate and
always select springs and the purest water c
to be found, and when fresh are healthful. j
Two Gnu* Eloped with Indians.?The r
Columbus Fact states that recently a band of
Indians gave performances in Somerset, Ohio,
and that two girls, sisters, were so captivated 1

Sooa of Nature, tliat they asked permission J
to accompany them which l>eing gallantly
granted, they proceeded as far as Putnam,
where they were overtaken by the mother of
the girls, a spry widow, who called on the F
police to aid her in recovering her "wild go- n
ingr daughter*. But, aiaa! for woman's re- t
si stance to love's appeals, when pressed in t
that eloquence and those signs of natural affection
and simplicity which these native sons
of the forest could bring to bear! After a u
littlb "talk," and a or ivate interview with the f
chiefs, the mother discharged the police, and g
made a third "willing heart" to follow the j
Indian "man" to titer western camp.

FREE LECTURE.
Dr. A. Crank, from New-Orleans, will deliver
a free Lecture this evening at the Court
House, on the Philosophy of Man, Diseases
of the Eye. and the ualurc and treatment of
Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
TO THE LADIES.
We refer you to the advertisement of Mr.
IIovkv, found in another column, for anything
you can possibly wish in the way of
fancy goods. It is emphatically " the ladies'
store," not only from the beauty and richness
of the goods, but of their being offered
upon such good terms and by such clever
and accommodating salesmen.
SERIOUS OCCURRENCE.
We regret to learn that Mr.O. H. Wells,
our worthy Mail Agent -on the Greenville
road, was seriously injured on Monday last
by being thrown from the cars. It appears
that a piece of timber had been thrown
across the track, which upon being discovered,
the engineer reversed the steam and
sounded the alarm whistle, causing the occurrence
we have ju?t stated. Mr. Wklls'
injuries although somewhat serious, are not 1
dangerous, yet are of such a character as '
will incapacitate him from the duties of his 1
office for a abort time. 4
THE ENTERPRISE SIX MONTHS 010.
The present number completes our first
half-year existence! Who would have
thought that the Southern Jtintrrprixe could
have lived in Greenville for six months ? It
has done so, contrary to the doubts of many
and the wishes of a few. We must admit '
that in that short period we have undergone
trials which would have shaken, perhaps, ^
:>lder people?submitted to many inconvcui- 5
??ccs which were necessarily entailed upon '
? project like that of commencing a new pa- '
>er. Hut we have cause to l>e thankful, for '
vhilst our enterprise has succeeded as well 1
us we could possibly lmve expected, we have s
ecu those of others fail?^whilst we have 1
:ontenU?d ourselves by engaging closely at 1
rnr business we have seen others suddenly 1
akeu with emigration fevers, dec.
Otfr generous and indulgent subscribers '
lave borne with our youth and iuexj>erience, '
'or which wo are grateful. They ha\-e sup- 1
>ort??d us when times were hard, and when
terhaps they might have had a l?eitcr^)?per '
or the same money?for which we are thank- 5
ul. ?
A? we said in our first address, it is not a <
boosing of our own. We commenced the <
tublication of the Enterprise reluctantly? t
ind it was not without the fears of being <
egarded presumptuous, and a knowledge of ,
mr inability, that we assumed the manage: '
uent of its editorial department. Wc w ould <
lave gladly preferred seeing the good old
IfounlaineeY and Patriot r?>ek along, and
njoy undisturbed the hearty patronage
k'hich they so justly merit. Wo do rot J
resume to say wo have injured, by any ?
aeans, either of these excellent papers by 1
he commencement of our own, for we think <
here is room enough for all. 1
The Enterprise enjoys a circulation of I
ver five hundred?near one hundred and <
ifty of which are distributed to actual subcribers
in tho villagoof (ireenville, a cirOti- i
at ion which perhaps no little paper ever 1

THE POWER OF WITH.
We have often thought of the mighty
1 a 1.:. 1. t? .!_ l.1j. *
auu grt'ainc^ft which ruuu uoiu? uver
the acts and workings of mankind. * There '
is not a feeling or principle tlmt actuates or
governs the lives of men which lias a more j
important bearing or influence than Faith.
V^y is this b In the first place man recognises
his nature as adapted to a noble purpose
and end, and in the pursuit and consummation
or that purpose firm faith in the
mission, and an ability to accomplish it
is his mightiest and surest inspiration. "The
finest genius, and the best talent, arc to no
purpose without the guidance of faith to
some definite end." The men who have
worked revolutions in the world, have been
men of profound faith?either in God, or in
the work to which they put their hands, under
God. Fuith has nflrved the orm of the
hero, and the heart of the martyr. Faith
was the pillar against which the New World
discoverer leaned, and Galileo in liis ddngeon
had faith that the world would do him
justice, uiougn rungs anil I'nests condemn- j
til him. " O, ye of little faith," was the (
rebuke of Jesus to his fainting and doubting ,
disciples. Faith ^as the inspiring and gui- ,
ding principle of the Patriarchs from whom ,
sprung the ancient Hebrew Nation, and faith (
was the great power by which Christ's dijv (
ciplcs were to revolution' ? the minds and |
consciences of men. Faith is issential to |
tlie right application of l>oth our physical |
and spiritual nature. Without it, physical- j
Iv, we arc timid and doubting cowards in
the world's warfare?without it, spiritually, |
wc aro separated from God's favor* for i
without faith "it is impossible to please God." (
TO AMATUER WRITERS. * ,
It affords us pleasure, at all times, to pub- (
lish pieces from our friends?to encourage i
new beginners, <fec., but we have in our possession
a number which we have to decline, s
from the fact that they possess neither poe- i
try, talent or sense. Therefore, if any should
not sec their article* published they may 1
know how wc regard them. It is no doubt 1
the delight of the poet-brginner to see his
" maiden effort" in print, and t)ie conse1 (
quence is editors arc troubled w ith too many1 ,
of this character. They should remember '
that the editor is too busy with other and (
moiy important business to take upon him- j
*elf the trouble of correcting the many errors
which are found in compositions of new i
beginners. They should first carry them to j
u itnp hr altAm t Kr?\r a*Ati U 1..V.
j j .....w ..vr j
lions to being told their errors and i in perlections.
Recently in refusing an article we ^
niggested to its author the propriety of subletting
it to an acknowledged literary per- (
on, which he declined, remarking that "he
s'ould not let him sfo it for the world." By
say of retaliation he told us that many pie es
of his had been published, and that he
iad many more " considered good," but ^
ivhich we could not get. Genius should not (
jccome offended at good advice, therefore,
we would advise beginners to try again and j
igain?and be sure to keep your first pro- (
luctions from the public eye until you are (
.atislied they are worth reading. {
In the foregoing we have had no refer- j
nee to any of the many writers whose pie- j
lies we have heretofore published, for we do <
hink that, whilst we Imvo many correspon- j
lent* whose articles, as well a$ themselves,
se think too much of to publish, we have ^
nany others who would grace the columns (
)f any newspaper.

Jfr. Editor:?His Honor Judge Glover i
b holding'Court M this place, and ends the '
Western Circuit for the fall term this week. !

The tfial of Mary McCracken, for the
Lilling of Youno Fuller, took place to-day,
Hid attracted considerable interest, as was
diown by the full*and attentive room dur- ,
ng the inTeigpgation and her arraignment at
he Bar. She was brought, into Court this
morning at 10 o'clock, the indictment was
read by Mr. Sol. Reed, and the prisoner pleading
"not guilty," a jury was impannelled and
the trial was at once entered intofc Messrs.
[sjby and Henderson appeared in defence of
the accused. The prisoner was a young
woman about twenty-one years of age, of
itout robust person, and rather immodest virigo-like
appearance.
Iler conduct in tho dock was Tery easy:ool
and indifferent, as though insensible of
die reality of her position. Her character
ippears to be bad indeed, and her associa
ions low nnd degrading. The deceased
tad often frequented the house of the pris>uer,
and on several occasions had personal
encounters. On the third of May last, he
united Her house in a state of Intoxication,
tfnen, from the prisoners statement, a difliiulty
arose between them, which resulted fatally
to the deceased. Hd violently attacked
iter with a chair, and said he "he would kill
Iter," aud she defended herself with an axe
by inflicting wounds upon his head, which
instantly brought him to the floor a lifelees
:orpse. Thore was little other testimony
beside her own statement relating to, the
homicide, except such as went to show the
character of the parties.
Tli'e deceased was proven to l>e a man of
bad character, and especially outrageous to
iefenoelees women. On several occasions he
iad gone and peremptorily commanded a
>oor timid and defenseless woman to prepare
something for him to eat, aud threatened
ler life in case she refused. He was a pest
ind a terror to birds of his feather, but ,
larmlcss to those of a higher grade and of
righter plumage^ ; . .
Mr. Solicitor Kkkd?that able and skillful
officer?conducted the prosecution for the
Slate, with his usual zeal mid force, and
Messrs. Iuuy and Henderson counsel for
he prisoner, acquitcd themselves ably and
mndsornol y in her dt-fcnse.
The arguments having closet!, his Honor
Fudge Glover reviewed tlie evidence and
he law ari.-incr on the ami sukminwl
t to the jury. After retiiing to the jury
oom for ivbout a half hour, a verdict of "NoU
iuilty" was returned.
Here is another fearftd illustration of the
:vil of intemperance, and yet when effort is
nade by the virtuous and good to arrest its
avages upon the peace, happiness and prosperity
of our country, strange to say, many
*ill join the phalanx, qnd present a broad
Vont of opposition which defeats the success
>f a permanent advancement.
There are but two other cases on the criminal
side of the Court. From the ntunlKjr
jf Lawyers in attendance, the good people
>f Laurens, and all other places, may rest nsmred
that there will scarcely l>e a time, when
ustice will fail to be meted out from any
ack or thinness in these ranks, from the
'distinguished member of the Bar" down to
,he petty Pettifogger.

Dcrr or North Carolina.?The debt of
the State of North Carolina amounts to $3,330,000.
The Kevenue from all sources is
estimated at $200,000. As this sum is not
sufficient to (Hflhty the State expenses lyid
discharge the annual interest, a scheme 4?ill
he projsjsed to the next Legislature to increase
the taxes. The late loan of $280,000
was taken at lialeigh at 100.^. There were
no bids of moment made from the North.?
The State is pursuing its system of internal
improvements, and several of the railroads in
which it is interested have commenced paying
dividends. The Wilmington and Raleigh
railroad, after sixteen years' struggle,
has been able to declare a semi-annual dividend
of 4 per cent. The Raleigh and Castpn
railroad has just declared a dividend of 0 per
cent, for the last year, and the recently completed
Wilmington and Manchester railroad,
in its first year gives evidence of being good
stock.

tin ilea cool, and over coats and fires are not
unacceptable. In exposed situations in the
city at 6 o'clock yesterday morning the iner

appears to l>e very pure, so much so that
several of our leading physicians, w!lo*e authority
on euclr matters stand deservedly
high, have, we understand, in answer to inJmrieeon
the subject, stated that there is no'
anger now incurred by absentees and strangers
in visiting Charleston ; consequently we
have daily many arrivals, and our hotels and
hoarding hotue* are rrradnlly filling nr.? I
We would recommend, however, those who
have not passed the summer with us to
prudent on their arrival and avoid exposure.

When these are moderate, the mind is only <
exhilerated, or, to use a common expression
the "heart becomes joyful ;w but if laughing
be increased or prolonged beyond certain
limits, n aeries of effects more or less injuri- i
ous, frequently eupcrvene. Pain in the cardiac
region and headache then come out,
and if the paroxysm be immoderate, the
quantity of blood propelled into the brain is
suefo that the intellectual power becomes
greatly excited, and sometimes to such adegiee
as to cause their temporary aberation.
Even convulsions follow immoderate fits of
laughter and I have known death to take
place frotvexceesive laughter caused by tijillation.
A disturbed action of the heart is usually
observed in those affected wi(?Hlyaterics, for
the paroxysm of laughter, the risus sardonic*,
the hiccup, and ail the more remarkable
phenomena which are characteristic of that
disease.
Laughing indeed greatly disturbs a heart
which is already irritated. This was strikingly
exemplified in a person who had dis
ease of the heart by which it was accompanied,
always causing violent headache.

44Of all the countries I hare ever visited,"
said Madam Pfeiffer, "of nil the vile, immoral
places I have ever seen or heard of, in

in California are the worst. I went
there in company with friends; thw doors
were open ; everything invited entrance.?

carpets, exquisitely painted pictures
whose subjects were so impure that I involuntarily
placed my hands over my eyeswine,
liquor o{|fkll kinds free and to be had
for the asking, all combined to lure the poor
mortal to sin and death. Yet all was so
voluptuously respectable, so perfect in good
taste, so refined in appearace, so beautify to
the eye, that its influence stole into the soul
like the deadly poison of the Upa9 tree.?

The great Temple which the mormons are
building at the city of the Salt Lake is described
as promising to be a wonderful struc- ,
ture, covering an area of 21,850 square feet.
The block on which it is located is forty rods
square, and contains ten acres of ground, around
which a lofty wall has already been
erected, to be surmounted by an iron railing
manufactured by the Mormons themselves at '
their iron works, in Iron county, Utah Territory.
The Temple building will have a '
length of 186$- feet east and west, including
towers, of which there are three at the east
end and three at the west, and the width will
be ninety-nine feet. The northern and southern
walls are eight feet thick.
The towers spoken of above arc cylindrical,
surmounted by octagon turrents and pin
navies, and having inside spiral stairways
leading to the battlements. Besides there
are four other towers on the four principal
corner* of the building, square in form, and
terminating in spires. On the westejn end
will be placed in otto relieve the great Dipper
or Urus Major. As regards the interior
arrangements, there will be in the basement
a baptismal font 57 feet long by 35 wide,
nnd on tlie Hurt floor a hall 120 feet
long by 80 feet wide, while on the inird floor
there will be another of the same size, besides
numerous other rooms for .various purposes.
Around the outside of thfi building will be a
promenade from 11 to 22 feet wide, approached
on all sides by storm steps.
Railroad Safett.?Mr. Wm.McRea telegraphic
engineer, has patented J?ia electromagnetic
safety aparaius, which the Lodger
favorably noticed more than a year ago.?
This invention consists in the application of
electricity by the use of batteries, wires and
electro-magnet*to the rihgingof a bell sounding
an alarm, or otherwise giving a signal
on board of a train of cars while in. motion
or at rest, so that the engineer of the locomotive
may be advised with certainty whether a
switch or draw is in order. The el?Klric.d
curreul is arranged so a* to he closed when a
drawbridge or switch is in lite proper pOM- v*
tion, and to be broken wlu-n tlit* is not the
case. There may be some dit%culties, as in
all new machinery, in the way of the poileci
working of this ingenious iivcutibu, for
which actual experience only can suggest ?
remedy. It is, however a Uiautiful and philosophical
invention, aud appears to be admirably
adapted for safety to railroads.?
Tl?e rule of slacking tho speed at all bridges
and switches is, however, probably the very
safest which can be adoptod, and the travelI!

which human invention can devise.?

To Purser vk a Bouquet*?A florist of
many years' experu-noe gives the. following
receipt for preserving bouquets for an nnsual
period, which may be useful to our lady readers
: first get the bouquet, which is not very
easy to do iuat now, but when you get it,
sprinkle it lightly with fre*h water. . Then
put it into a vessel containing soap suds,
which will nutrify the roots and keep the
floweii as bright as new. Take the boquet
rht of the suds every H
sideways, the stalks entering irat, in water.

will bloom aa freeh aa when firat gathered.
The aoap-auda need changing every three or
