The New-Year.
To night nt 12 o'clock the year 1807 will i
be added to the countless cycles of Time.? I
To morrow, another year begins it* round. 1
There are seasons appropriate in every one's 1
life for serious contemplation and reflection, '
and why should not the beginning of a New-j '
Year be made one of those seasons. And I
now, before we turn a new leaf, or open our I
new ledger, let us peer into the pages that
have l?een written on our hearts during the
year that is closing upon us. To some of
you, it has been a long and tiresome rear,
and whilst some have never felt the deep ,
and lasting ills which have visited others, 1
yet none have so far escaped as to suppose 1
.bat the burdens of this lite are confined to a '
few. The lessons we have learned, whether (
from others or from our own sad experience,
.should now be put into use. If the manage- l
meni of the past year, has lost you money,
or fiier.ds, now is the time to change. Let
discretion take the placo of indiscretion, let
economy and frugality take the pincos of
carelessness and waste?let our wishes give
way to our necessities, and plenty must follow
want as surely as day followeth the night.
If your confidence has been abused, guard
against, a recurrence of the like in the future.
To thrive and be happy, you must be active,
industrious and honest.

Greenville Baptist Female College.
W e are in receipt of a catalogue of the ,
officers and pupils of this institution, for
1857. It is neatly and handsomely printed j
by G. E. Elfohd, of this place. Tba Fac- i
ulty is an able and efficient one, and the fu- 1
turo hopes of litis rising college are growing
brighter and brighter. It has been well
attended by young ladies of this State, and
wo notice the names of a few from the
neighboring States. The Spring Session
commences first of February next.

Noth withstanding tbe hardness ^f the
timet, and the cry of M nothing to wear,"
Greenville k still improving-?daily growing
in eise end population. A stroll around eur
town will oonvinco all who think to the contrary,
that the citizens of Greenville are a
go-ahead, thriving, and enterprising people.
We were surprised, during a short
ramble a few days since, at the number of
new houses going up, and the improvements
that are visible iu all parts of the town.?
The Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company
have erected a very handsome passen
ger depot, in front of the steam saw mill of
Messrs. Gowkr, Cox <k Marklky, which
will add considerably to the loolu of the
plnce, and to tbe convenience of travelois|
and omnibus-men. In the Mine locality,
Mr. John McKay has erected a neat and
comfortable cottage, which will contrast favorably
with any we have seen. On Pendleton
street, west of the depot, other build
ir.gs are going up, all of which are tasteful
and substantial. Or. our side of the river,
we notice several new houses in a state of
completion on Jail street?and in that vicinity.
Mr. Thoma8 Stkkn is improving the
lot on Washington street, opposite John W.
Walker's Livery Stable, lie intends to
erect* a dwelling house, and convert the
buildings on that lot into a large and commodious
warehouse, where he will carry on
the business of a commission merchant, also
for the sale of groceries, grain, etc. Buncombe
street?the favosste of all streets for liding*and
promenade?is still going ahead. A
street has been opened from Buncombe
street to the Female College, which gives an
excellent view of the building. The College,
wo learn, will be completed by the first
of February next, which will be in time for
the reception of pupils for the Spring Term.
Prof. C. R.Twitty has disposed of his house
and lot on Buncombe street to Col. Sparks,
a wealthy orp.nllpmnn of I nni.i.nn
j e ? "u?
coinos among us for the purposo of educating
his children. It is pleasing to acknowl
edge the accession of gentlemen of intelligence
and means to our town?they add to
our society, and, by their wealth, improve
its beauty, and thus dignify the importance of
the place. Mr. Joa* Mavldin and T. E.
Stokes, Esq., are also adding new and beautiful
houses upon this street. Several gentlemen
of wealth are building houses in the
suburbs of town, for temporary and permanent
residences. We noticed on the Augusta
road a handsome house, in the course
of erection, for Col. Kkkn, of Abbeville.?
Mr. T. D. Stall has just completed a very
neat aud beautiful resilience on the Rather-1
ford road, one and a half miles from the
Court House.
There are other persons at woik in building
and improving, but we have said enough
to produce the impression that our villagers
are not idle. Greenville is destined to go
forward. Her institutions of learning make
her the Athens of the South, her business
men, mechanics and manufacturers place
her in the front rank of the villages of the
State, whilst hor beautiful scenery, delightful
climate, and last, though by no means
llie least important, her lovely women, just
ly entitle lior to be called 11 Tlio Queen of
lite Mountains."

Arrival of the Northern Light.?The
itenrnohip Northern Light, from Aspinwal],
with late and interesting news from California
and Central America, has arrived. She
brings $'2,000,000 in treasure.
Gen. Wm. Walker is one of the passengers
in the Northern Light.
Foil Castillo and four steamers were captured
by Gen. Walker and his forces.
Walker and one hundred and fifty of his
men were captured by Commodore Iliram
Paulding.
The men have all been sent to Norfolk,
but Gen. Walker is here on his parole of
honor.
The lake and river steamers have been
turned over to Garrison and Morgan.
Col. Anderson and fifty Americans still
hold Fort Castillo and river San Juan.?
They have three months provisions, six
pieces of artillery, and an abundance of ammunition.
The river steamer C. Morgan, has been
put in charge of the American Consul at
Greytown.
The California trade is reviving, and imparting
new vigor to mining operations.
8ix hundred Chinese have gone home.?
Markets quiet. Money active and in demand.

Wa?iiinoton, December 21.?The latest
advioes from Kansas indicate the adoption,
at the election today, of the slavery proposition
with the constitution. The fire-eaters,
in secret caucus, decided that if Congress rejects
it, to intimate a disunion movement.
Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, is said
to be preparing a M scorcher " for Mr. Dougla*,

we * take np the shovel and the hoe " again, <

of demolishing the nicknacks, and good ,
things in general, imposed by this ever joy* I
fully welcomed day. This ha* been, as Pad- ]
dy would say, "a gintale Christmas," in '
comparison with those that have preceded it. (
The streets have been unusually free frotn <
drunken rowdies, with their concomitants of 1
uoise and fighting, and from the discordant *
jars of fire arms, and munitions of war of ilessor
magnitude. Venders of that deadly
missile, the Chinese fire cracker, have cer- (
tainly done a smalt business. Formerly, it 1
was unsafe to walk the streets, and especially I
for ladies, on account of having a pack of (
this rat-tailed invention thrown under their !
feet, or perhaps on their bends. I have fre- j
quontly seen dresses ignited, or the Sabbath {
regimentals of some one of the swell mob
improved by a hole or two, when saltpetre 1
ruled the pave. This year the nuisance has
been done away with by efficient officers appointed
for the riurnose. Fnpinn???lo

days of relaxation came together?Friday
and Saturday?and by all whose time ia not
their own, it was taken advantage of for a
trip to the country or excursions of pleasure.
Well, it has departed, and may joy attend
it, but may it never fail to attend it, with
egg-nog and roast turkeys, on its annual visit.
As I predicted, Mabies and their caravan
have found a temporary home among us.
They pitched their tent on the beautiful Citadel
Green, and performed to such immense
crowds as, perhaps, never filled a Circus here
before. For the first few nights the police
force were not efficient enough to preserve i
order, and mashed toes, with their conse
quences of quarreling and disturbances, were i
inc general result. To aud to the confusion,
on several nights there was a great and sudden
fall in negro property, by a precipitation
of woolly heads from the highest benches to
the ground, by their giving away. Madame
Leontine performed her great feat of walking i
tho wire dailv, to thousands, but on Friday
she came very near falling. The wir.d was
very high, aud it was thrilling, too thrilling,
to witness her ascension and its danger. The ,
company left yesterday for Savannah. j
The theatre was closed several days previous
to Christinas, in consequence of the time '
necessary for the preparation, on a grand

of the kind ever witnessed in onr theatre.
The rush fer teats was immense, and
every cranny in the building was filled.?
There is much new scenery expressly
for this piece, with many other Attractions
for the lovers of mimic life. Every energy
and care have been concentrated in it by
the manager, Mr. March ant, to inake it the
piece of the season?a piece tliRt will draw?
a piece that will pay. Thus far his anticipations
have been more than exceeded.
Waugh's Italia is exhibiting in Hibernian
[Ldl, and very successfully, too. It has
much to contend with in tho way of competition,
but, nevertheless, manages to draw
very good? houses. It is very tnuch im

was here last.
The Concert Band gave quite a successful
entertainment on Christinas night, and was I

day comes but once a year, when people!
should enjoy themselves, and see the sights

they seem to live up, l>y filling every public
resort.
The city was alarmed by the cry of fire
on Saturday night about 12 o'clock. On
repairing to the source of alarm, the fire
was found to proceed from a grocery store
at the corner of Meeting and Columbus
Streets. This, with several other buildings,
was consumed before it could be checked.
There was some insurance on the houses and
stock destroyed, to the amount of $4,000.
It is firmly believed to have been tho work
of nn incendiary, as combustible material
was found, by those first on the ground,
scattered about the place. Too strict a watch
cannot be observed now, under existing circumstances,
when the city is filled with loafers
and worthless vagabonds. There is 1
scarcely a night but what there is a robbery
or burglary of some kind.
Admirers of fine sailing craft are now enjoying

unsurpassed style of splendor. #

performances and elose their doors.
The disastrous result* of tho financial derangement
can be seen in the stocks of
goods of every description, jewelry, books,
dry goods, Ac., that have been sent out
South, to be sold at auction. Nearly all the
foreign orders had been sent out before the
remotest idea of a panie was entertained,
and the goods arrived before they could be
countermanded, consequently, on account of
the pressure, being unable to find buyeis,
importers are obliged to get thorn off their

RED WING.
The Gkkknvillr and Columbia Railhead.?
We understand that there is an impression
abroad that the Greenville and Co- 1
lumbia Railroad Company have asked and 1
obtained aid from the Stale, to the exclusion
of other enterprises of a similar character. '
Ibis, however, is an error, as will appear
From the following facts that have been turn- ,
isbed us from a well informed source: ?
In 1B52 this road sustained great damage,
nnd to preserve the superstructure and make '
effectual repairs, it was found neoessary to 1
inako an assessment upon the stock. The
State being a stockholder, was also assessed *
according to the amount it held. This was ,
on me izin 01 January, 1853; the amount
was $60,620. The debt to the Bank of the
State of 8outh Carolina was created the
same day, and for about the same amount,
and wa9 predicted upon the expectation that
the Legislature would, at its next session,
provide the means for paying the assess- '
inent, which would then be applied to the 1
payment of the note to the bank. No pro- '
vision for the payment of the State assessrnent
has ever been made till now, but the '
company has promptly paid the interest on 1
its debt every ninety days since, amounting '
to about $18,000. The effect of the recent '
action of the Legislature was to relieve this *
debt, and the Bank or the Stale receiving,
as did the other stockholders, ecrip for the ,
same. ;
The claim has never been a question of
litigntion, but simply of expediency, and the
payment one of strict justice to the coin pa '
ny, which is thus relieved of a heavy debt, |
though its stock is increased to the same <
amount.?Charleston Courier.
Thk Lkoislaturk or South Carolina
and thk African Slavk Track.? We ob
serve with sincere satisfaction that the Leg- islalure
of South Carolina have rejected the
proposition to resive the Afiican slave trade. :
The policy of the message was supported
with signal ability by the committee to wliom
the subject was referred. In candor we
must admit tlmir sririiiuoni in Ka - -
demonstration as the nature of the case will
allow. We have never denied that the
South needs an additional supply of slave
labor, and we have argued that it can only j
be procured in Africa. We raise no diffi (
culty on the point of expediency, supposing f
the object susceptible of attainment, it is a |
Question of practical policy, and we have to j
etermine whether it is possible under existing
circumstances. We say it w not. We .
contend that the agitation of the question
would seriously emtfcrrass the interests of
the South, wlale on a calculation of probabilities
the chances arc infinitely against the
snccessof the enterprise. Shall the South,
then, expose itself to present the positive injury
for the sake of a remote ami impracli
cable advantage ? That is the issue, and for
ourselves we are constrained to return a negative
reply to the inquiry. It is in this
light, we take it, that the Legislature of j
South Carolina view the matter, and hence ^
we are not surprised at their decision. The (
unanimity of Southern sentiment b of too ^
great importance to be hazarded by the in
traduction of extreme measures and brilliant "i
paradoxes.? Richmond South.
General Walker's reasons for resigning, j
are manifold, but principally because :
First, The doctrine that " sovereignty (
makes constitutions " is denied by the Ad- ,
ministration. t
Secondly, Jlis instrumentality in preventing
civil war in Kansas, has been so lightly ,
esteemed as to provoke a virtual rebuke.
Thirdly, The President would be compelled,
according to his message, to remove him,
m nuj me, m u? iouna it imj)ostil>ie, consistently.
to obey bis instructions.
The Governor expressed himself upon
these joints, nt considerable length, and
gracefully retires, as he says, with reluctance. ;
Baker Woodruff, of Louisiana, lately ]
deceased, emancipated sixty slaves by will,
and ordered their removal to Pennsylvania.
We presume he argued all his life long that i
the negroes were better off in slavery. How
singular it is that so many masters curse 1
their slaves with liberty on their death-beds.

GREAT CURE OF RHEUMATISM.?
Hie editors of the Richmond Republican, of
December 24th, 1862, says that Carter's Spanish
Mixture is no quack medicine.
They had a man in their press room who was
iffiicted with violent Mercurial Rheumatism,
who was continually complaining of misery in
he back, limbs and joints?his eyes had become
everish and mattery, neck swollen, throat sore,
ind alt the symptoms of Rheumatism, combined
villi Scrofula. Two bottles of Carter's Spanish
Mixture cured him, and, in an editorial notice
is above, they bear testimony to its wonderful
>ffeote, and say their onlv regret is, that all tufrer'uvr
with diseases of the blood are not aware
>f the existence of Mich a medicine. They
heerfully recommend it. Bee their certificate,
and notice in full aronnd the bottle.
