In their report, which we published last
week, the Commissioners made one statement
in particular which eTsry one in our
nil.1st doubtless read with oonoero ; viz.:
that out of one hundred and twenty-two
pupils who have beau lu attendance during
the 6rst quaiter of the school's existence,
" nearly one half might have been unable
to att-ud, but for this limelj and accessible
provision lor their wants." In urging upon
our people the very great utility of sustaining
this institution, no greater argument
could be pns-ibly used than the bare menlion
of so important a truth. We Itopc the
tiin* will never again he when sixty ohil*
dren of lite Christian, intelligent and highminded
people of Greenville will be liarred
from the privileges of Inetruetlon. Without
school*, the coming generation will
gropa in darkness, and will coma far ahort
of th ?t usefulness which intelligence and
thought and truth gives?will not maintain
the high place of those who have gnue he
lore tin-m. Oreenville has taken a decided
step in regnnl to public education, and It
cammt be that.she will make a retrograd.

Any remarks that we may ninke a'e not

for they r K?'d all of their literary iuslitu

Democratic lfaating at Hodges', 1th July
We learn from gentlemen who were present
that the Democratic Club mot at llooeas' on
Saturday last, and a very respectable assembly
of eitisens. Addresses were made by J.
L. W astnouklaan, Col. Staplt Chittsjidk!*
and Judgo W. II. Cawpbelu
Tbo mooting was attended with the most
happy results. Oqe hundred names were added
to the Club, which now numbers 160, Included
in these are many eitisens, who hare
heretofore acted with the Loyal Leagues. But
the penplo are finding out that trao Loyalty
to a Conttitntinnnl Union, and to their own
honor and interest can atono be promoted by
opposing Itsdical ruin, and by sustaining the
groat Democratic party, which has always
been tbo supporter of liberty and the prosperity
of the country. & vr '

interested in every respect in the pcrinauonce

Although it bad beeomo a little dry, yet the
recent refreshing showers that bare fallen, remove
all complaint in this way, aad all kinds
of regulation sacra to b? in on excellent condition
for growing. On Sunday lost about the
middle of tho day, wa were favored by a fall
of water that satuntcd the earth; but the suecocdlng
hot sunshine, will not let it remain so
very long. We understand that soreral miles
above, and to tbu east of tho Town, ,abont the
sumo time, a severe thunder storm occurred,
accompanied with a heavy fall of rain, and
ball stones of prodigious size, causing considerable
damage.
As far as our enquiries have gone, the wheat
crop recently harvested has hardly been the
half of that gathered last year; a few, though,
say that theirs have approximated a full one.

the South It is tat thl* time of paramount

wraith, and of nearly every means of attaining
Influence in the affaire of State, it
ia only liy the thorough education of her
s>di that she ean hope to regain and maintain
that position in the country which she
once occupied. To tffect ihis end there ie
no institution in the country better adapted
than the Furmnn University. Ths course
of study is thorough and' complete, the
standard high, and the Professors gentlemen

prosperity of Greenville depends in a very
