Mn. Cunningham was not informed of
?i?* Sarrogattfa decision against her until 3
Htlcloek v?i?rd$7 afternoon. She read over
the decision carefully, end say a it does not
Murpriee her in lite least; that she expects
injustice from all quarters; and that, al- ,
though lite Surrogate is an honorable, uptight
roan, he was not proof against outside
jtoQuencos against her. &he thinks the Buratpi!
heirs and the District Attorney, who are
her bitter enemies, have haunted tbe Surro- <
gate, bringing unfair influences to bear upon i
her; and, above all, she regrets that it ,
brands hor daughter Augusta as a perjurer,
* than whom a purer or more truthful girl ^
does not live. <
She declares her intention to appeal from i
the decision and contest the matter to the <
lu-t j not for the sake ot the property, but
to vindicate her character. Upon the bogus
baby she declines to converse, but says she
will iusist upon thorough investigation,
which will establish her innocence. Her
health is rapidly improving, and she is treat- i
ed with lh? greatest kindness and consideration
by those in charge of her. One or
tho other of her daughters are constantly
with her. They are living at a house in
Twenty-third street.
The judgment of tho Surrogate's court
does not effect the criminal charges against
Mrs. Cunningham. The District Attorney
will carry the charge of felony before the
Grand Jury, and if indicted by that body 1
they will undergo a trial. Should she be i
acquitted on that charge, Rhe will be liablo, i
together with licr daughter Augusta, to an ,
indictment for perjury.
The estate of Dr. fcurdoll has been in tbo
charge of the Public Administrator since
the litigation between Mrs. Cunningham
and the heirs commenced. Under the present
decision, the estato will continue in tho (
Tubbc Administrators custody until letters <
of administration arc granted. I
The present decision affects directly the i
right only to administer on the personal
property of Dr. Burdcll, although indirectly (
it affects the administration of the entire es 1
tale. Tho decision does not positively de- <
prive Mrs. Cunningham of a right to con- <
test tho question of dower. She has a right
to appeal to tho Supreme Court, General
Term, when it devolves on the three Judges 1
to review the evidence in the case, and af- t
firm or reverso the decision of the Surrogate, t
HOW MUS. CUNNING II AM r AYS IIF.H COUNSEL.
Mrs. Cunningham has transferred, we understand,
to her present counsel, Mr. Stnf
ford, all her property, including a very con- f
siderahlo piece of real estate in Hergcn conn j
ty. New Jerrcv. Tho deed has been eveenl
?d since her imprisonment upon the criminal
charge of producing the " bogus Burdell baby."
If this fact he true, she will be prevented
from appealing from the Surrogate's
decision by want of funds, as no lawyer can
be rationally expected to wotk for her without
compensation. ^
Suicides, ano the Cause ok Tiiexj.? ?
The Westminster Review has an article on S
this subject, from which it appears that in 1
Franco during the year 1801, there were
.1,599 cases of self destruction, of which 909,
or tnoro than one fourth, were ascribed to in- 11
sanity of some kind ; but of the remaing 2,- C
glo, grief for the loss 01* children caused on- d
ly 10, grief at their ingratitude, 10; r(
disappointment in love onlj* 91 ; jealousy
23; the gamingtable only 6; shame am!
remorse only 7 ; and sudden anger but l;)se
while conjugal quarrels caused 385, the de- j k<
sire to avoid physical pain 313, pecuniary te
embarrassment 203, and want 179. Disgust
with life, or fixed melancholic, caused 10G ;
but there is a question whether this cause
may not be clashed as a species of insanity. af

and it is now rc|>orted that ho has a wife ^
and children, by former marriage, in North '
Carolina. Such transgressions are deplora- r
Me in an)' case, but infinitely more so in n
those that pretend to be christians. It is |
much easier for a man to bo strictly reli- r
* giotis, than a hypocrite to keep up his sane
tinronious appearance.
The lloston people are certainly becoming
a little fast. They know a great deal,
every body knows ; but we fear their virtues |(
do not grow apace with their knowledge.? t

Our Return.
It has been a aource of much regret that
:ircumstances over which we had no conrol,
have prevented us from bestowing any
ittention upon the columns of the Enterarise
for the past two months. The illness
of one very dear to U9, has caused our absence
from the State, and deprived us of the
opportunity 01 mining wuu our readers.?
She is now fast regaining health and
strength, and we return to our usual business,
with a disposition to make, if wo can,
amends for our past apparent neglect. We
trust this explanation will be a sufficient
apology for our absence and short-comings,
trusting that, in the future, to be enabled
to attend punctually at our post.
We cannot permit this opportunity to
pass without returning our especial thanks
to our young co publisher, C. M. McJunkin,
for his diligence, and the many kind offices
ho has performed for us, and the paper, during
our absence. Wo would also return
thanks to our correspondents, and trust that
they will contiuuc to favor us with their productions.
Railroad Accident
Another accident, endangering the lives
of a considerable number of passengers, and
doing bodily injury to several, happened on
,be Greenville road, on Saturday evening
ast, when the cars were within sight
)f this place. The nccident was occasioned
jy running over a cow, which, in consequence
of a curve in the road, was unper:eived
by the engineer until too late to stop
lie engine. One passenger car and the
nail car were thrown from the track, and
he baggage car considerably injured and
hrown directly across the track.

Five miles of lliis road is now finished j
rom Anderson, and an engine running over I

A correspondent of the Laurensville Her
d pays the following beautiful coinplient
to our town :
"This is what nature says of this lovely

rite again, about Greenville; and still I
lould leave it as I found it?a mystery, a

the Soul of the Universe.'"
A despatch from St. Louis announes
the acquittal of Ex-Governor Robinson,

1%? Review at TonejV (
On Saturday Inst, tbe Lower Regiment, At
Toney'a Old Store, 14 rail* below the Court 1
House, wm reviewed, and we, botb from neoewity
and an inclination to take a day'*
respite, Attended upon tbe occasion. The
morning was a beautiful one, and the ride
thither was pleasant and ngreeable, the heavy ^
rain of some two or three day* previous having
put the roads in such a condition that j
even the caravan of horses, carriages, hacks, ^
and buggies, from the town and country, ^
failed in their efforts at "kicking up a dust." ,
It is not often that so many favorable cir
cumstances are combined to bless a jaunt of
even such limited length, but so it was, and
if?as we rounded some waving field, rich in ' ^
the products of mother earth, where not a j
tree spread forth its arms to shelter us?the
rather too beneficent rays of old Sol's glaring
face were lavishly bestowed, none could find
i'. in his heart to murmur.
We nnived at the place of rendezvous at .
1 ii
about half past 10, and found n large concourse
of the citizens from the lower and j
middle poilions of the District already ns- M
sembled, passing the usual compliments and
discussing the crop prospects and the genern!
topics of the day. There were also quite 8I
a number of ladies present, to cheer the day w
with grace and beauty. Not much time,how- (|
ever, was allowed for reconnoitcring, and the
uO, yes" usual upon such occasions gave nolice
that operations would soon commence, j,
and in a short time the Regiment had wleel- j,
ed into line. About half past 11 Ilis Excel- ^
lency Gov. Allston and suite, and Major
General Smith and suite, appeared on the
field, and after passing in review, a number R)
of evolutions were performed in a manner S)
creditable to both privates and officers. Col. r
McCullouoii, Maj. Boazkman, and Maj.
Forkst, were all on iho field. Brig. Gen.
w. K. Easi.ky, was nlso present, but not in g
uniform. Col. McCcllouoii was in com- t)
mand.
The parade was not as long as it usu
ally is, and ended at an early hour, for M
which, we fzel confident, many a blessing
was invoked upon the officers in command ^
by the weary footmen. The Governor then n
addressed the Regiment in a speech of short
length upon the present militia system of the a|
! Slate, lie spoke of the benefits of u strict w
I military system ; said it wns for tliis spirit
that South Carolina was, atul ever had been, 8j
eharacteiized, and urged the rigid enforce- w
, rnent of all its laws, in order that it might
never wane. e<
j Maj. Gen. Smith then made his debut, and ei
I delivered liis first address before lire lb-gi- ,,
ment. It was short, but to the point. Ho jr
had not words enough to express his thanks c.
to his constituents for placing him where he w
was; said he would ever fill the office to the tf
utmost of his ability, and complimented the
Regiment very highly upon the discharge H,
of duty, especially the Hurler Guards, under n
command of Lieut. Hoke, whose marching j)(
that day could not be surpassed by any corn- tj
pany he had ever seen. May peace, happiness
and prosperity be his forever, say we. l
Thus ended the Review. Shades were p
then sought, and the properties of lunches c<
and beverages freely discussed. Among the
latter, wns the " title whiskey,"?very appro- j(
priate for the occasion?which, it wns face- Q|
ifously affirmed, " would kill a man a linn- si
dre I yards off-hand." If there is anything R|
in snlt!1. we think it would. It had wound [
cd a few before we left, which was early, hut | C(
we nave noi yet ream 01 us Kimng any 01
tliem.
One interesting and important feature of cj
the parades generally at'I cnoy'a, we think ,
was greatly deficient this year?good music.
The Brass Band was not present, as hereto- ^
fare, to enliven the occasion with the mart Lai
notes of other days, nor instil into the heart
a henic spirit. True, there was music, but
wo think a good fife, well played, nnd a kettle
and hass drum, with the ingredient, timo,
a little U-tter mixed, would have heen
far more appropriate, and much better ?dapt- ?
ed to the occasion. *
| Gknkral Risk.?The mother of General H
Rusk (>ay* the Wnlhalln Banner) Is living, il
at this time, within two miles of the village el
of Walhalla, Dickens District, South Carolina.
nnd is in the seventy-eighth year of her
ago, nnd retains all the faculties of tier mind *1
perfect. We are in possession of the fact al
that General Rusk provided her with tiie
comforts of life, up to the very latest period sj
! of bis life.

district.
Mr. Center was the son of Rev. Jesse
>nter, who died some two years since,
caving his son to f>S! his place in the neigh
orhood, and in the ministry.. Since the
iine of his father's death, Mr. Center has
ivod at the old homestead with his mother,
ind has shown a remarkable degree of filial
iity by constant and untiring kindness and
ender solicitude for his aged parent. He
vas left by his father a respectable amount
if property, and his large hearted christian
enevolence led him to use it for the good
>f his fellow-men. lie was kind to the poor,
dmoat to a fault. It may be said of him
hat he literally fed the hungry, lor his crib
ias been open'to supply tho wants of the
teedy poor around trim, and many poor
Minifies have, this scarce year, had reason to
leas God for his kindness and liberality.
One year ago, the writer of this assisted
j"" win
in the ordination of Mr. Center to the gospel
ministry. Since that time, hi* self-denying
consecration, hp growing ability and
increasing influence, htTfel'giYen promise of
a large smoaot of u*efoln?tf?*, but God' has,
in his Wisdom,sten fit to out his worfeabort,
and take him to an early reward In a better
world than this. Brother
Center was a little over 23 years
old when he died. He was married early
in life, and lias left a widow not vet 18 years
of age. Poor woman, she has been calledjaH
to endure affliction greater tliar. usually falls ' .
to the lot of man on earth. The same day ^PP
left her childless and a widow. Their only
child, a daughter, 11 months old. died about
six hours before her father, and was laid by
bis side in the same grave. I never saw a
sight so sad. A short time before the
death of the child, Brother Center told his
wife that lie was going to die, and would
take his little babe with him to heaven* jtfj
And it wan so, even an he had said. J?j
"We know that they are happier, j&ar
With their augol plumage on, ^ ^KH
But nht 'tis sad?'tis Very sad,
To know tlmt they arc gone." * 3j|
FEVER AND AGUE?CERTAIN CURE* ^
No more use for Tonic mixtures, Quinine, Fowler's
Solution, Arsenic, Mercury, or any of the
villinnous or nauseous compounds, which only
relieves ono disease to implant another mowr n
pendly, and which sends its unhappy victims %
finally, with a wrecked and broken constitution,
to an early grave. Try Carter's Spanish Mixture,
which contains none of these dangerous
drugs, hut cures by acting specifically on the
Liver, purifying the blood, nud strengthening
the system, thus enabling naturo to recuperate
its exhausted energies by opening the pores of
the skin, and expelling from the body nil impurities
and old medicines, which clog and retard
its free operation Moro than one thousand persons
have been cured by Carter's Spanish Mix
ture, after every tiling else had signally failed.
As n sample of its remarkable effects. Messrs.
Davis A Hicks, of Aatangnville, Ala., writes us
that it cured a gentleman of Chronic Fever and
Ague, which all the efforts of physicians and
their remedies could not subdue. lie only took
three bottles. They say it sells very rapidly,
and maintains its high reputation all through
the country.
