Judge O'VmOTs AddressThe
Laureusville Herald in noticing Judge
O'NealFs address at Laurens C. IIn makes
the following happy allusions to him. The
truth of which is beat known to those who
best know Judge O'Neall:
* For the first time in our life, it was our
pleasure to hear the Hon. J. B. O'Neall deliver
one of his most excellent Temperance
addresses, on Tuesday evening last, in the
Court House ; and we have never listened to
any address of the kind with more interest,
and from which we received moro instruction.
The house wa9 w.ell filled with a re-1
Spectable and intelligent audience of ladeis !
and gentlemen?barring one or two, who
evidently had " been looking at some one
indulging.n The Judgo spoke for over an
hour, and all who listened were sorry, only
when he ended. It wonld give us pleasnro
to lay the address, in full, before our readers,
as we think it would awaken an interest in
the good cause among our citizens; but our
lime will not permit us to give even a synopsis
of it. All who have over heard
Judge \J neau speau on this, his favorite
subject, know with what honest zeal and
ability he handles it, consequently, wo should
add nothing, cither to his character as a lecturer,
or to his subject, by giving an abridgement
of his continuous gcod address. No
man in the country has sacrificed more of
time and money, in the great cause of temperance,
than lion,. J. 11. O'Neal I, and our
admiration of his character, iu nil its social
and moral attributes, has risen almost to roverence.
He has been the means of doing
more good to his follow-men than any other
man in the State, and his present vigor of
mind and body may be attributed to two
important characteristics, viz : a proud consciousness
that he has performed the duties
of his life honestly and acceptably to his God
and his fellow-men, thereby securing to himself
an irreproachable and easy conscience,
and his strict adherence to temperance, in
the fullest meaning of the word. lie lias
" lived down " tho calumny and detraction
which envy and fear had raised against him,
and he now stands, a hale, hearty, proud,
and loved man, with locks all " silvered o'er"
with the frosts of seventy winters, receiving
from his former enemies chaplets of praise
and gratitude. We, however, cannot accord
to any mortal man perfection, but wo do
think, that if tho offences of the whole human
family were of 110 greater magnitude
than those of Judge O'Neall, this world of
oors would be a placo of universal joy ami
p?a?e. ^ ^
jrraoucai joking?ao'j amen 01 a uoon
Th;.ng.
There are a sort ot' pcoplo in the world
who are as fond of fun " as an egg is full of
meat." It makes no odds to them whether
the jokes l>e seriously practical, or innocently
amusing. One of these former instances
of jocularity was lately played off upon a
wed known sable gentleman of this city, fa
miliarlr called w Dully Anderson," alias
Wm. Anderson.
It appears that Bully was once the property
of a gentleman residing in Virginia, but
being tired ot leading a plantation life, he
started off one night by moonlight, and
found himself north of Mason and Dixon's
lino. lie resolved to make New York his
future home, and consequently settled down
in.the Sixth Ward, and became oho of the
beau monde among the colored population
of that locality. His youlli, his "shape,"
his love at tho art saltatory, and his general
accomplishments, soon indicated him into
the good graces of the colored ladies who
patronized the fashionable hall of Mr. " Pete
Williams."
But, alas! for the ficklessness of fortane.
Bully was not destined to enjoy his pleasure , I
forever. Some wicked wags of his own co!- I
or, who were somewhat jealous of his popu- ! t
larity with the sable damsels, played upon j i
him a joke which will prevent him forever a
hereafter from enjoying his once happy a
hours in the dancing saloon of IVte, or any
one else. They formed a combination f
among themselves, and actually directed to t
him a letter, purporting to ho written bv ]
some friend of his master, informing him of.
his decease, and stating that in his will the i r
good master had bequeathed Bully his free- L
dom, and also considerable property which j \
he was requested to go on and take posses- ! >
sion of. Oft started Bully with his eyes (
M sot," like the Dutchman's horse that had t |
the lock-jaw, all ready and eager to seize 11
his unexpected crood fortune. But In. and I!
behold, 011 his arrival in " old Virginny," he ]
very unexpectedly was invited by his old j
toaster to take np
"The shovel and the hoe,"
and to go to work in the field again ; and
there he remains to this day, if alive, an unwilling
victim to the practical joking of his
colored brethren ! Poor Bully ! Where's
Greeley ? Can't something he done?

Death of an Editor.?We are pained i
to announce the death of Ilenrv M. Cushman,
Esq., lately connected with the edito
rial department of the Charleston Courier.
He breathed his last at the Charleston Hotel
about ten o'clock last evening, after a
brief illness of only a few days. He came
from Boston to this city only a few months
go, where lie had been connected with tlie
Boston Times. lie leaves a wife and one
child, whom, wo believe, are now at New
Ilaven, Connecticut.? Charleston News.
Slaves Returned.?The Beaufort (North
Carolina) Journal says, that on hoard the
scbr. Emily, which it will he rememl>cred
was abandoned on a voyage from Charleston
to Beaufort, last winter, were two slaves
owned in the latter place. They, with the
rest of the crew, were taken to Liverpool,
where tbev were at perfect liberty to remain
free, but tfiey did net hesitate in signifying
their preference for home, and have now returned
to their duties in Beaufort.

Rotation in Office.
The South has ?,very welt considered article
on the wild cry which has pervaded
the public prints lately on this subject. It
represents the true Southern view of the
question, which we believe i? n principle in
accordance with our South Carolina policy.
In this conucction wo take pleasure in
stating what is within our knowledge, that
the Honor. Howell Cobb, immediately upon
his accession to the Cabint, earnestly advocated
this conservative policy. The editorial
of 2'he South is well worth perusal.?
From it we take the following paragraphs:
! **Tbo retention of Col. bigger as Post|
master in this city, of Mr. Colcock as Col!
lector at Charleston, nod some other in1
stances of reappointment in the South, *varj
rant the hope, it'not the absolute conclusion,
i that the President does not mean to apply
the villainous policy of 4 rotation in office'
to this section of the confederacy. These

which I ho public deduce from Mr. liuchau
nn's character and antecedents ; fur, although
in the North lie distributes the patronage
on the spoils principle, yet everybody knows
that the instincts of his nature aud the convietious
of his judgment are overcome by
the irresistible pressure of a corrupt public
opinion.
"This policy of 4 rotation in office,' as applied
to individuals in the same party, is
abhorrent to every generous sentiment and
repugnant to every sense of justice. It is
proper enough, when one administration is
replaced by another of a different party and
principles, that tho President should entrust
the government to men who possess his
confidence and concur in his views of public
policy. Even in this case, there is danger
lest the principle bo pushed to a vicious ex
treine. lint when there is no such succession
of opposite parties in the contiol of the
government?when the popular voice has
authorized no radical change in tho policy
of administration, and the retiring President
is succeeded by a person of his own
way of thinking, in public affairs, it is -idle
to attempt to justify 4 rotation in office' on
any other principle except on the atrocious
maxim that to the victors belong the spoils

A Sciioot.MASTnit Rims a Rah..?War- i
ants have been issued at East l)?-cr townhip,
Alleghany county, Pennsylvania, for
lie arrest of the six voting ladies, charged
villi riding the schoolmaster of that district
m a rail. It appears that the schoolmaster
refused tin*. use of his schoolhnuse for the
purpose l" holding singing schools, which
gave the young ladies great offence. The
I dies' pioceeoings are thus narrated :
" On Friday afternoon, everything being
prepared, seven huxoin maidens suddenly
made their appearance, in the school room,
and without any ceremony, seized hold of
the schoolmaster, placed a bag over bis head,
conducted him to the door, where a threecornered
rail was in readiness, upon which
lie was placed, notwithstanding a stout resistance,
and borne off in triumph, much to)
the terror and consternation of the teacher
and those of the scholars 'not in the secret.'
After carrying him a distance of about a
hundred yards they dropped their harden.
The teacher grew furious and made an informal
ion of the facts before a magistrate at
Tarentnm. and warrants were issued for the
seven young ladies; tho nature of the charge
brought against tlieni we did not learn. No
arrests, however, have been made. Three
of the young ladies were in the city on Wednesday,
on their way to some secure hiding
place, and the remainder, we presume, have
marlo themselves scarce."
A Hist to I'lantkkh.--The Mississippi
Chronicle thus tells us ail about the crops
and prices in the future :
"The planter who raises an abundance of
corn this blessed year of 'fi7 will make
money largely. All tie agricultural world
is perfectly wild ou the subject of cotton,
and the largest crop ever known will be
plan'ed. If the season prove favorable it
would not astonish us if the next crop was
greatly over four millions?perhaps four
millions five hundred thousand bales. The
prices will fall?money will be tight?pro
visions scarce, and big corn cribs exceedingly
valuable."

In Pickens and other portions of the country,
where we have been, we notice that the
oat crop has been seriously damaged.?
Wheat has suffered but little. The " oldest
inhabitant" hns no knowledge of such
blighting weather at this particular season
of the year. Unless a change occurs in a
few days, wo shall concur with the lines of
the hymn, " December's as pleasant as May."
The Blue .Ridge Rail RoadWo
had occasion, a few days since, to
view a considerable portion of the country
through which the above road passes, and
was surprised to learn that such rapid progress
was being made towards its completion.
For several months during the past
winter the work was abandoned in the State
of Tennessee, and in several places in this
State. liut since the requisite amount of
subscriptions have been obtained to secure
the second instalment of #500,000 from the
State, contractors arc going to work again.
It is thought that the cars will bo running to
Pendleton early in December next. Iron is
now being laid down from Anderson, agd
several miles will soon be ready for use.
We stopped a short time at the Seneca river,
four miles west of Pendleton, where Ihev
are erecting a bridge. The force now en
gaged upon this part of tho work will have j
it finished in two years. The rock which is 1
J i
used in the const ruction of this bridgo is j
found l>ut a short distance above, and is !
readily landed at the place by means of Hat 1
boats. The knowing ones calculate that)
Walhalla will be reached in the course of
throe years.
The section of country through which |
this road passes will surely be inucb benefitled.
The ultimate g.?od to the .State, ?nd j
more particularly to Charleston, is seriously
disputed. It must assuredly benefit Charleston
unless the road is tapped by other roads
leading to Atlanta and oilier market towns
in Georgia.

Charleston, April 20th, 1857."
Dear Enterprise?This spring bas certainly
afforded an unusually fertile and ample
fund for discussions on the peculiarities
of the weather. Its sudden alterations from
heat to cold, have justly given cause for
general remark and wonder.
In the latter part of April, we have it sufficiently
cold, freezing and rainy, to keep all
within doors* when it is a season that is invariably
hailed with pleasure, for its balmy
and delightful weather. It is to bo sincerely
hopetl that this may be the last of its
blustering and capricious freaks, and that it
will so flont on in the even tenor of its way
as to admit the appearance, onco more, on
our streets, of hoops and ciinoline, in all

tundity.
Amusements have become pretty nearly
thinned out, as their season is nearly over.
The theatre now presents the only resource,
and that only for a few days longer. Miss
Stanley concluded her entertainments on
Saturday evening last. She was induced, by
growing popularity, and the inereasou desire
to see her manifested by all, to change
the place of performance from Hibernian
Hall, as being too small, to the more spneious
one of the Institute building. Well has she
been repaid for the' change. On Friday,
and especially Saturday evening, the hall
was crowded to its utmost extent, when
there were said to be present over two thousand
persons. Her peiformance extends
throughout two hours, and over two thousand
tickets being sold, pays her at the rate of
five hundred dollars an hour. This is making
money with railroad speed. Iler performance?and
particularly the rapid transition
from one costume to another, which is almost
nurncnlous?exceeds anything ever
witnessed in Charleston. At one moment
she represents a decrepid nurse, with an infant
in charge, taking her " tea " on the sly, j
from a suspicious looking bottle, when, in j
the space of a few seconds, she re-appears as j
a languishing school Miss, afflicted with the I
blues. With equal rapidity she re-appears
completely transformed into a magnificent J
belle of the ball, discoursing soil accents from j
ber ruby lips to tliu worshipers iu her train ;
and then again, as a maiden lady, who has j
attained an uncertain number of summers
and with a penchant for scandal. The most
pleasing part was her rendition of a f<>n. the
principal feature in whose accomplishments |
was a universal and continuous " haw, haw."
She was encored in this, and the Marseilles
Hymn. During the evening she assumes
thirty different characters. The conclusion
took place just as a violent thunder storm
was bursting over the city, and this living'
mass, just emerging from a room teeming I
with heat, was actually forced out by those
coining behind into the heavy and drenching
rain. Prancing horses, sweating coachmen,
and calls from stentorian lungs for Mr.
So-And-So's carriage, with the vivid flashes
of lightning, produced a delightful scene of
confusion among the dense throng of vehicles.
The Catholic ladies give a fair on Monday

who whs imprudently standing upon one of

rolled over the edgo of the bridge, lie was,
of course, precipitated into the river below, a i
distance of about seventy feet, and it was
naturally supposed that he had l?een instantly
killed by btriking upon sonio of the numerous
rocks which obstruct the channel of

escaped without a broket. bone. lie miraculously
alighted in about six feet of water face

Savannah Georgian says our Florida neighbors
have great confidence in the ability of
Gen. Harney to rid them of Billy Bowlegs
and hit tribe. The papers from Florida
speak highly of his system of tactics, and
lliinks that Billy will grow tired of traveling
during the present summer, and will,
probably, experience some inconvenience on
account of the want of necessary provisions.
We do not know if the General can
bring Billy to a fight, but if he does and
fails to whip him, then we think the government
had better abandon the war, and
waste no more time, men and mouey, for
there !s no other officer in the array who
i can equal Gen. Flarney fighting Indians.
