End of the Fourth Volume.
"JVith this number does the fourth volume
of tbe Southern Enterprise, and we
are pleased to stale to our mnnv kind n*
? j r*~
trotis and friends that our paper is still increasing
in favor and patronage. Four
years ago, the present proprietor issued the
first numbe-, ahd sent it abroad without
having a single subscriber upon his mail
book. Since then he has labored hard and
energetically to keep it going. Not an issue
has been missed. We have not even
permitted sickness, the loss of workmen, or
tho holidays, to interfere with its regular
publication?and it has steadily worked itself
into popular favor, until its subscription
list is large and respectable, and its advertising
patronage as large as country papers
generally attain. For which we arc thankful.
It is not our intention to make any promises
for the future. Its present conductor
has no idea of leaving it, and his readers
must take its management for tho past four
yoars as an earnest of what he will do for
the future. Commencing alone and unassisted?influenced
by no one in what we
have done?and actuated only by a de*ire
to do what is right, we shall continue to follow
wherever truth and justice may lead us.
It could not bo expected of any one, to pursue
a life like our1*, without making mis
takes and being guilty, at times, of indiscre
lions. We know too well that we have not
been exempt from these defects. We ad
mil them all, ahd whilst the past has given
us an enlarged experience, we fear that the
future will often find us in the wrong.?
Should such be the case, we beg that indub]
gence and forgiveness which mistakes of the
head, and not of tbo heart, are entitled to.
With bright prospects for the future sue.
cess of the Enterprise, we commence the
beginning of the fifth volume. We shall
introduce the paper to our readers next week
with several new improvements.
Kind patrons! again we thank you.

This handsome corps paraded through our
streets on Saturday last, under command of
Lieut. A. D. Hokk, and made a very pretty
appearance. The Company went through
several very interesting military evolutions,
performing tbem well, much to the admira
1 tion pf ^he m#ny spectators. Judging from
their performance on Saturday, we would
pr??dict for them a career of usefulness and
honor. The Guards hare already received
froro the commnnder-in chief, the compliment
of bejpg the best-drilled corps in the
State, and we do not think that they will bo
disposed Ui yiold the distinction. The
Greenville Hand wan present on the occasion,
and as usual, furnished delightful piusic.

The Delegates from different Southern
States, met on Friday last in the new Gap* I
tist Church in this place to consider the t
place and organization of the proposed Theo- f
logical Seminary. The attendance of dele- 1

dent of the Convention, and Re* O. W. I
Samsox, of Washington City, Secretary. I
AYa have heerv-unable to attend the Con- |
ventioh, and are therefore unprepared to ?
give an extensive notice of the proceedings, i
We have learned that it has lajen definitely ]
settled that the Seminary will be located at
Greenville. The amount apportioned for 1
this State?the sum of one hundred thous- j
I and dollars?has been subscribed, with the I
exception of a few thousand dollars. Con I
siderable praise is due to Prof. Botcb for
his indefatigable labors for the cause of the i
institution among the cilisens of this State. 1
Four Professors have been chosen as fol i
lows : Rev. J. A. Broadcb, of Virginia, Rev. i
Basil Manlt, Jr. of Virginia, Rev. E. T.
winklgr, of Charleston, and Rev. J. P. I

Seminary we learn will commence in Sep <
teinber next. The Professors elect, it is i
thought, will accept. They are gentlemen <
of known learning and eminent piety. 1
A board of Trustees have been elected, I
consisting of twenty?eleven of whom are
from South Carolina?the remainder are |
from other Southern States. |
Rev. A. M. Poindkxtrr, of Virginia, was ]

by the Convention for the endowment cf the
institution.

It was the first time since Waj. Goodleu's

discharged the duties of his position with t
considerable |credit. On Friday, speeches ,
were delivered by Maj. Vernon and Col,
Jones, candidates for Congress, and on Sat- ?
urday Col G. P. Pool, Colonel of the Up- j

Gen. Thompson's Lecture , f
The South Carolinian speaks as follows t
of the lecture of this gentleman at the r
Athenaeum, on Monday evening last:
" A large and Appreciative audience assembled,
in Athenaeum Hall, last evening, to 1
hear a lecture on the Fait, Present and Fu
ture of Mexico, with notices of some of her e
illustrious men. The lecturer, the Hon. 1
Waddy Thopmsen, is well know as former *
Minister to Mexico, and was, therefore, well *
prepared to speak on his subject. The lecturer
was interesting and instructive. After
reviewing the past and present history of
that unhappy country, with sketches it c
Cortex, lliirhide, Victoria, the Ilravo's and f
Santa Anna, Mr. Thompson indulged in s
some speculations as to her future pio-pecU, ]
He thought that these were associated with .
shadows, clouds and darkness. Requiring
a standing army, and yet too poor to psy 1
one?cursed by a corrupt priesthood, ftnd I
i yet unable to suryjre without its influence? c
Mexico has two wolves by tjqe ears. danger
ous to hold oq to, qqd J.qt more so to letgp. (
In oonclusjoq, be expressed tjie opinion that
the country was destined to fall under An- "
glo-8axon dominion?this to be the work of '
time, and not to be accelerated/' .

A Coroner's Inquest Prevented.?
There was an attempt made in Montgomery,
a few nights ago, by some burglar or
i burglars., to enter and rob the Adams' Ex,
press Company's office, in that city. The
( watchman, who was inside of the office,
heard the boring process going on, nnd was
1 waiting patiently, and fully prepared, for
the entrance of the burglar. The gas was
i rained just high enough to give sufficient
, light to see the person as he entered the
office; and one or Colt's revolvers was ready
to greet him with a perforating reception.?
From some cause not known the borer
, quietly withdrew, and thus prevented a
I coroner's inquest. If he had entered the
office on that night, he would have had not
less than half a dozen balls quickly put into
his body.
In all the" Adnm's Express offices in the
i country, there are reliablo watchmen ou
duty at all hours of the night, and every
, preparation, in readiness to give burglars a
grand salute. Many private lesidences, and
many stoics, are also provided with these
1 conveniences; and the burglars have now,
in a great measure, turned their practices
> into* pocket-picking chnnnels, and operate
on railroads, in crowds, die.
[Augusta Constitutionalist.
Bankrupt Law.?The Washington correspondent
of the Richmond South says : ]
" The prospect is now quite certain that "the
proposition of a general and uniform bankrupt
law will not be acted upon at the prea
ent session ; the most that will- bo accomplished.
will bo to get the committee's re
porta belor Congress and the country. The
(louse Committee on the Judiciary have
already propured a majority report, which is
adverse to the assumption of a doubtful
power hjr Congress to pass a genornl law of
; bankruptcy, particularly designed to include
banking corporations. Tho policy of such
a law, when brought under tho discussion of
' Congress, will be mixed with some very ini
genious questions of constitutional construe
ti<>n, as it is known that some of the best
legal minds in the country maintain that the
provision for a bankrupt law in the Constitution
contemplates traders only, and does
not include >banking corporations. Judge
1 Cftskie, of your State, will make a minority
repoit recommending a law of uniform bankruptcy,
much more limited and guarded in
its operation than the bill which the Senate
Judiciary Committee is understood to be
about to report.''
tiieskcnrrakt of War.;?The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times
says :
"Evidences have appeared of a combined
1 and determined effort to drive Governor
Flotd out of the Cabinet, to which end everything
possible is to be done to embarrass
mid break down bis administration of the
War Department. This secret explains the
' oDiiosittun to the Deficiency bill <*<hihited

not hostility to the bill, but to Secretary
Floyd. Slidcll and bright are prominent

Cotton.?'The Cotton market opened with less
activity yesterday morning, and prices had a
downward tendency?in some instances i a J
cent. In the evening, however, a better feeling
I prevailed, and the market closed at about former
quotations. Some 160 bales changed hands,
at 10 a 12f- cents extremes.
FEVER AND AGUE?AN INFALLIBLE
CURE.?We defy the world to produce any
medicine which does not contain Quinine, Bark,
Arsenic, Mercury or any noxious or deadly coinpound,
to cure this annoying disease so effectually
as Carter's Spanish Mixture. While itemtains
none of the above named dangerous arti
clcs, yet it possesses a power in relieving and
curing Fever nnd Ague, which cannot be approached
by any of them separately; or in com
binntion. It aets specifically on the Liver, Purifies
the Blood, opens the pores ol the Skin, and'
assists nature to expel from the system the seeds
of Disease, or what is as bad, the romains of the
Mineral Drugs, which clog and finally destroy
the constitutions.
See the cure of Mr. Longden of Virginia. IIo
had Ch lls twice a day for 3 years, nothing
would relieve him until he tried Carter's Spanish
Mixture, only 3 bottles of which effectually
restored him to health, nor has he had n return
of the disease since.

Oxygenated Bitters?A sure cure for Dytpep*ia.?The
history of this remarkable medicine,
nnd its astonishing success in obstinate cases of
DYESPEPSIA, ASTIIMA, AND OENERAL ^
DEBILITY OF THE SYSTEM, places it among
the meet wonderful discoveries in medical
science, and has given it a reputation far beyond
any remedy known for these complaints, ^
in nil their various forms.
The Oxygenated Bittert contain nothing which
can intoxicate; and the medieine has no similar- i
ity whatever to the various alcoholio mixtures
disguised as "Bitters," being purely a medicinal
compound, in wliieh are combined the most valuable
remedial agents, and a peculiar oxygenated
property, hitherto unknown, but highly ef- [
fieaeious in all complaints arising from weak
ness and dernngment, or prostration of the
stomach and system generally. It is a mild
and agreeable tonic, removing all disagreeable
symptoms, and assisting nature in her efforts to
restore the impaired powers of the system.
