? " I
Attention Is called to tlie advertise,
ment of the Major at the Mill.
...... (
The Troy Timet, a Iladleal paper, said by ,
the Charleston Courier to be a "journal of (
ability, and a representative ol the ma- '
llgnity of Its party," novertholes repudlntos
the schemes of Mr. Stktukn's for confiscation,
Ao., and declares that nothing more will be
required of the 8outh, by its party, than
acceptance of the late Reconstruction Acts ^
The same paper magnifies the justice of the ^
Military Act, and says " enlightened states- 1
mauship " is satisfied with it. That enlightened
statesmanship is a rare being.
Clouds and darkness seem effectually to
hide it from enlightened gaze. Where is it
to be found 1 Query?In universal negro
suffrage I
There docs seem to be some disposition,
on the part of many influential Radical
men and journals in the North, to sheath
the sword of vengeance. They seem to be
finding out that there, is such a thing as the
forgiveness of tins. One would think the
South has been sufficiently punished. The
Radical party has destroyed four thousand
millions of Southern property, nnd taken
away the old privilege of self government
from the primitive possessors of it in the
Southern States. It used to be thought
that tho land of Washington, .lEmcnsox,
and IIknuy, of Rutlkdoe, Fixckxey, and
Gadsdkx, knew something of Republican
Government*, nnd had Republican Const itu'ions,
but it seems we hn ve been mistaken.
We rejoice at lite prospect of the cessation
of political hostilities, and wo hope all
things mny turn out for the best. Wc are
poweiless in the South, nnd must accept
" the enlightened statesmanship"of the politicians
of Oregon, New \ork, Kansas, Vermont.
and o'ltcr localities outside of our I
own liiuits. Wo ore all Know Nothing* in
the South, and incompetent to frame Stale
Constitutions without help from abroa<l.
Fat est ab hotle (btceri?wo may learn
some good things from the Constitutions
and laws of other Statos. These things,
however, already ox'strd in some of the
South western Slates, but South Carolina
legislators have been mulishly obstinate in
adopting them?a little too conservative?
have preserved the law of imprisonment
for debt, the law of perfect sacrifice of all
a woman's property rights to l!To husband
or his heartless creditors; the law of selling
out of house and home every unfortunate
debtor, and refusing him a homestead;
law j originating in barbarous ages,
have been clung to in tbieStntc. OurStnte
will row have togive them up,and perhaps
many good things tvlth those evil things.
As wo said on a farmer occasion, we again
repeat, these abominations would very soon
have been swept away by the good sense of
the people, under any circumstances.

If (ho Iiitorary Club hail accomplished
j nothing else but to procure the able and
Admirable lecture of Dr. Siiipp, before it?
members and the citizens of the Town, then
it rooms to 113 its organization would be
j fully vindicated. The reputation of I)r.
Suipp, already very high with nil of us, ns
n distinguished scholar and Divine, and tali
ented teacher, as the President of Wafford
College, must acquire now lustre from such
intellectual performances as his lecture on
| the Philosophy of History, which he delivered
on list Tuesday evening. The assemblnge
was huge and most respectable, and
one which apprecintod most highly the rieli
feast furnished by tho lecturer. Wo have
never witnessed, not even in a house of
worship, more perfect order nr.d profound
attention. We. note tho fact as complimentary
both to the speaker and to the an
diemje.
We do not presume to sketch even an
outline of Dr. Sutrr's lecture. Tho philosophy
of history, he maintained, centered in
Christianity. Ifo enforced this truth with
learning, eloquence and power. Nothing
could bo finer than the Doctor's contrast

uiftitun oi trie otiico holder, potentate end
conqueror; the man of action nn<l the
philosoplur nn<l literary genius. IIv took,
for example, Achilles nn>l Homer, Ar.KX.tstier
and Ari-toti.v, the Magnates of Home
tn the time of Paste, and tlie poet himself;
Elizabf.tit and SiiAKtrEAitr., Cromwell bo<1
Milton. In conclusion, the Doctor exalted
the Ililiie, " the Sword of the Spirit," as
the mightiest agent in history, the light of
its lnbyrnlhs nnd oonl radio!ions.
We unite with others in thanking Dr.
Stiii'i' for his obliging acceptance of the in
Ivnin.hih oi me j.neiniv hud, and lor ine

Nkw Orlranh. June 8.
This morning, at hnlf?paet 0 o'clock, Breret
Brigadier Oenerul John W. Forsyth, of
oneral Sheridan's staff, called at the Ex
scutlve Office, Mechanic's Institute, and
told Gov. Wells he bore a written communication
to 1dm from the General command
Ing, which was found to be as follows:
ilkAixtt art ana 6th Mil. District, 1
Nrw Oh lie an 8. La., June 1. j
,Vr. J. Madison Wella, Ex-Govtrnor of Lou
iaiana.
8ia: Governor Flanders has jnst Informed
me that he made an official demand on you
for the records of the office which yon hare
heretofore held as Governor of Louisiana,
and that you have declined to turn tlicm
over tobim, disputing the right to remove
from office by me, which right you have
acknowledged and urged on me up to the
time of your own removal, I, therefore,
send Brevet Brigadier General John W.
Forsyth, of my staff, to notifv yon tliHt lie
is sent by ino to rject you from the Governor's
room forcibly, unless you consider
this notification as equivalent to ejection.
(Signed.) T. II. SHERIDAN,
Major General United States,
Commanding 6th Mil. Diet.
After reading this communication, Gov
crnor Wells said to Oen. Forsyth: "Sir, I
surrender the office I hold only to the
sword," and called up Judge B'-ynn, of the
Parish of Rnpides, to bear wilurss of what
he said.
Tiib Czar of Russia and the Emperor of
France, were riding in the same carriage,
recently, at the l'aria Exhibition, and were
shot at by some one. The New York Herald
a special I'aris despatch, ?-f June 8, sevs
" the Imperial party bad a very narrow escape,
the ball passing in a line between
two of the distinguished personages, and
wounding n la.ly standing in the street.
A horse ridden by n groom in wailing, was
wounded in the head, and the blood spurto I
on the Imperial uniforms. The nrsarsin at
tempted a second shot, when the pistol

Russian Embassy tiie saino evening. The
Czar, with his eons, nnd tho Emperor and
Kmpross of F, ance, were present. The
niombcra of tho Russian royal party were
congratulated on their cacapo.
Tho Wheat Crop.
The wheat hnR come to the harvest time
uninjured, nnd promises a better yield thnn
has been known for many years; 18.* 1 was
the last good wheat crop tu the South till
now. There is reasonable hope that wo
may lmrc a series of good wheat, crops after
so many bad. We hnve known wheat for
several years together, prove a more rdi
able and cvr'aiti crop than any other. U
requires care, proper attention to sowing at
the light time, in well prepared nnd good
land. Our farmers will now be forced to
cultivate lets land and to lake fir more
pains than formerly in all their agricultural
operations. Th?-ro is one suggestion wort h
heeding as to seed wheat. It should always
be procured from soma p'aco a distanco
south of the farmer's resid* nee, rather than
from more northern localities. The growth
is more forward from the southern seed.
We learn from several gentlemen of thi9
District that they have some fields of wheat
from which they expect not less than thirty
bushels to the acre. Mr. Ai.kxanmcb McIUk
from has than one-third ol an acre, cut
from nn nv.-ruoo i.nrt ..f n ?l.i*..ol>u.t
eleven nod one-half bo-hels, as we are informed.
There nro some patches of wheat
that will exceed thin, but of course the general
crop of the District will full very far
short of it, lets tlinn n third.
New Flour.?Nico Biscuit.
We have received this morning a present
of new flour, wheat raised in Town, from
Alkxanobr MoBkb, k.-q , and ground at Ids
Mills in Greenville, by the Major. If there
is a delicacy to bcobtained, it is to be found
in light, delicious Biscuit ; and being the
first of the season, lends an additional xest
nnd charm. We return our sincere thauks
to the kind donor.

It is with i.o ordinary feelings of delight
that we lay before our renders tho following
extract from a 1. tier received by a gentle'
man in this town from n Dircotor in the
Western Extension Railroad :
"I have the pleasure of informing you
that tho Railroad Company have accepted

of the location of the Itailroad on the Eastcm

we shall all co operate with alacrity in tlii

it 10 ai-nost useless lorn* to aim awj-tiun;
