Editor*?I had the pleasure, on tho 13th of August, of attending a Democratic Picnic and Mass Meeting,Vlth the people ol Pickens District?County so-callsd. It wns held at the Trap, situated about twelva miles from Greenville. Aftrr&inott delightful ride with tuy with and ell the children, through e beautiful picturesque country, we arrived nt the piece designated, and found there assembled, at leaaV, a thousand of the good people of the surrounding country ; and a tnoro intelligent rcipectible looking crowd, it has raruly been my good fortune to see. Indeed the fact, that out of a thousand votos east at the Trap, at the last election only I?h wero Radical, and the nine hundred and ninety Democratic, hows that the sons of Pickens are what they hould be, intelligent thinking men, and truo patriots. The ten Radical votes spoken of were negroes?so you see, there is not a white Seulawag nigger in thnt whole region. The issemSly was addressed (from a stand prcpar- I ?d for tha purpose,) first by Ocn. Garvin, n reterau Democrat, in au interesting speech of ' n hour's length?a speech in which great good sense, as well as good feeling, was cvinch1. Tbo distinguished gentleman from Greenrille, failing to arrive as was expected, your I humble servant next followed the General in an address of about an hour. The crowd bowed us profound respect, by giving us their undivided attention. I At the close of the meeting. Dr. J. M. Mc- < CUnaban, offered tho following appropriate \ Resolution, which, on motion, was unanimously adopted: | " Jietolird, That we heartily approve of very provision contained in tho platform of ( principles of the National Democratic Party, and endorse the nomination of Horatio Seymour and Frank P. 'Rlair, for the Presidency and Vice-1-residency of the United States' and pledge oursotves to do all in our i Kcura the success of tli? Party, end the aloetion of these our candidates." The crowd was then intitcd by thc^Coramittce of Arrangements, to the long tablet, ? burdened with the richest provisions of every variety, which showed, on the part of the Ladies who prepared them, that their kotpitality was surpassed only by their 6e?M'y and their denv'.ion to Democratic principles.

Mr. Mi-Daniel, to hie credit be it said, had fitted op seats for the crowd, and arranged them nnder his salabrioas grots. The Club omitted to retire thanks to Cspt. McDanicI for bis kindness aud attention in supplying them with comforts, bnt the Secretary, in behalf of the Chab, does now publicly return tbanke for the tame. Robert McKay, Esq., gave as a " talk," interparsed with stories, the "bar" story rmongst the rest, to the great merriment of the crowd. The stories were told in " Bob's " usually fsiicltnns style, convulsing those honest Democrats' fsees with laughter. A happy time, long to be remembered, did the Laurel Creek Club buve on Saturday afternoon, August 16th, 1868.

SOUTH Disinterment of Kings. "the following very interesting extract is from the North American Ueview. We sometimes hear of the disinterment of dead bodi-e, which, nfter having been entombed for many years, have presented relics in a reinaikahte degree of pie*ervailob. The following cases are exceedingly interesting, in consequence of the antiquity, and the histo rical relations of the subjects, and. still more, because the statements may be relied on as strictly authentic. "One of the moat interesting accounts of the "preservation of a body, the identity of which was undoubted, is tbat if the disinterment of King Edward I. of England. The readers of history will recollect that the monarch gave, as a dying charge to his son. that his heart should he sent to the lioly Lsna, but that his body should be carried in the van of the army till bootland was reduced to obedient;?. ' tie died in July, 13U7, and notwithstanding hisinjunction??, wan buried in Westminster Abbey in October ,of the same year. It u recorded, that he wa? embalmed, and orders for renewing the ceiecloth about iiis body were iftsued in the reigns of Edward III. and llvnry IV.

The following ae- . count we extract from a conteinporanoous volume of the Gentleman's Magazine. '"Some gentlemen of the society of antiquaries, being desirous to see how fut ttie actual state of Edwaid First's answered to the methods taken to preset ve it, obtained leave to open the large stone saicophagus, in which it is . known to have been deposited. This was accordingly done on the morning of January 2, 1774; when in a coffin of yellow stone they found the royal body, in peifect preservation, enclosed in two wrappers; one of them was of gold tissue, strongly waxed, and fresh ; he other ami outermost coti-iderably decayed. The corpse was habited in a licit mantle of purple, lined with white, and adorned with ornaments of gilt mov tal, studded with red and blue atones aud pearl*. Two similar ornaments Lay on the hands. The mantle was fastened on lite tight shoulder by magnificent fibula of the sstne metal, with the same stones and pea. Is. 11 is face had over it a silken covering so fino and so closely filled to it, as to preserve the features entire. Uoutid bis temples was a gilt coronet of ileuie de lys. In his linttds, wtflch were also entire, were two sceptres of giit tuetal; thai in the right -urroountcd by a cross fieure, that in the left by three clusters of oak leaves, and a dove on a globe;?this sceptre was about five feel long. The feet were en veloped in the mantle and oilier coverings, but sound, and the toes di-tinct. Tho whole length of the corpse was five feel two inches.' " This last statement, it will be ob served, is tbe only point in' wl mb tbe narrative appears to disagree with bis tory. We are generally given to understand thnt Edward 1. was a tall man ; and that be was designated in hi} own time by the name of Longshanka. Ha ker, in his Chronicle of the Kings of England, says of bim that he was tall of stature, exceeding most other men by a head and shoulders. We have not been able to find Sir Joseph Ayloffe's account of the examination, and know of no other mode of reconciling i ho discrepancy, but by supposing a typographical error of a figure io the account which has been quoted,, - "Edward I. died at Hog upon Sands, in Cumberland, on bis way to Scotland, July 7, 1307, in the 68th year of his age. "Another instance of partial preser* valion is that of the lady of King Charles I.'the subject of the work at the head of this article. The remain* of this unfortunate monarch are known to hut* been curried to Windsor, end (here Interred by hi* friends* without pomp, in a hasty and piivnte manner. It U stated in Clarendon's Ilii-tory of the Hebellion, that when hi* son, Charles II. wm desirous lo remove ami re inter his corpse in Westminster Abbey, it could not by any search be found. In constructing a Mausoleum at Windsor, in 1813, under the direction of (rforge IV. tben l'rince Kegent, an* ?c cidenl led to tbe discovery of J his rots! body. Tbe workmen, in forming a subterranean passage under ^he choir ol St. Qeorge's Ckxpel, accidentally made an aperture in the wall of the vault of King Uenry VIII. On looking through this opening it wa? found to contain tbree coffins, instead of two, as bad I>eeo supposed. Two of these were as cmlained to be coffins of Henry VIII and one of his queens, Jane Seymour Tbe other was formally examined, after permission obtained, by Sir Henry 1U| ford, in presence of several members of the royal family, and other persons of distinction. The account since published by Sir Henry, corroborates tbe one given by Mr. tysrbert, a groom of King Charles, bed chadber, and is published ifx Wood's Athena Oxooiensea. i 3 H 4 J Ami O ? .

A square opening wna then made -in the upper pari of the lid, of such dimensions as to admit a clear insight into it* content*. These were an internal wooden coffin, veil Much decayed, and the body, carefully wrapped up in cerecloth, into the folds of wliicb a quantity of unctuous matter, mixed with resin, as it seemed, had been fuelled. *o as to exelude, as effectually ns possible, the ex (erttal air. The coffin was completely full; and frou) the tenacity of the cere cloth, great difficulty was cx|rerienced in deiflchitig it successfully from tiie parts which it enveloped. W'liet ever the unctuous mailer had insinuated it> self, the separation of the cerecloth was easy ; and when it came off, a correct Impression of the features to which it had been applied, was observed. At length the whole face was disengaged from its covering. The complexion of tlie skin of it was dark and discolored. | The forehead and temples had lost little or nothing of their mu?cular substance; the cnrtilage of the nose was gone ; but the left eye, in the first moment of ex- | posure, was open and full, (bough it vanished almost immediately ; and the pointed heard, so characteristic of the peiiod of the reign of King Charles, was pet feet. The shape of the face was a long oval; many of the teeth remained ; and the left ear, in consequence of the unctuous matter between it and ibe ceteclolh, was found entire. "* It was difficult at this moment, to withhold a declaration that, noiwith j: a . .1 ninuiiin^ me uisux uremeui, wie counie nance did bear a strong resemblance to the coins, the busts, and especially to the picture of King ChArles the First, by Vandyke, by which it had made familiar to lis. It is true that the minds of the spectators of this interesting sight were .well prepared to receive ihis impression ; but it is also car tain, that such a facility of belief had been occasioned by the simplicity and truth of Mr. llerbeit'a Narrative?every part of which had been confirmed by the investigation, so far as it bad advanced ; and it will not be denied that the shape of live face, the forehead, and the board, are the most important features by which resemblance is determined.' " How to E&ise Winter Cabbage. Having been requested by many friends to give them my plan of grow ing winter cabbage, 1 have coucluded to do so through the columns of the Press & Messenger, that all who wi?h to enjoy the luxury of fine, large cabbage duiing the winter at a small cost and trouble may do so. The mailt point in raising cabbage for winter, in this eli mate, is to have tbvin head up late in the fall and early winter. If they head tip eailier, while the weather is hot, they are moat certain to rot. The seed must be planted in May or eariv in June, and it remiirPH much earn and attention?not much labor?to secure the plants sow Into in sea?on. If not protected from the sun, they will die as fast as thev come up. Prepare a bed in n partially shaded location, If possible; Lave the ground thoroughly pulveiiz.'d, aud if dry, well watered ; lay otf the bed in small furrows, six or seven inches apart; sow the seed thick ; cover tiieri) carefully with a rake, or the baud, which is bettei; press the earth gently on them, if the location is much exposed to the sun. Shade (bust not he too dense, or Ihey will run up very spindling and fall down. Have the ground watered every evening, unless the weather is damp. After they come up, remove the shade gradually and continue to water occasionally, if necessary, until the plants are well rooted ; work (betn well and keep ail grass and weeds down. JS'o one who is unwilling to bestow tbe proper care and attention, need undertake to raise cabbage plants st this season of the year. 1'iauts raised in the spring and allowed to remain in the bed until the proper time for transplanting, will tnake good cabbage, but not so good as planted later, 'i'be stalk become* loo dry and hard. They are to be transplanted in the month of Aligns!, and'ip the following a 1\ _ s .?- - _ .1 J -IJ.L manner ; iyig ntriea umuepii anc wiaui of h spnJe, three feet Spurt each way ; fill them half full of good, rich, well lotted manure, first putting in the bottom a table* puonful of Peruvian Guano, if to be bad, llteu fill the hole neatly full with the top soil. All this must be done in readiness for transplanting during (he rain* in August. Transplant deep, up to the leaves, in the middle of the hole*. My thia time (he plants will have long shank*, the whole of which must be put into the ground. A very good plan, if it is deSired to raise tbom on a large scale, is to lay oft very deep furrows with a largo turn plow, put in tha manure heavily, partially till them, and transplant in them. They must be hoed frequently, iferf EVENTS R 2. 1868. I U-L? 1?11 - 1 . .1 -1 j * * JJJ . _ once a week is not loo often, end nl ways in the morning when the dew i on. All cabbage should be thus hoed The bottom leaves must not be pulled ot they will not head well. Upon ?h< approach of very cold weather turt them down to tha earth, and cover up all (he stalk, leaves and all, well with dirt, sufficiently lo hold ibetn down onlv lenvinir out iIia tnn il.?? ? o ? ?"V mvhm Thus managed they will continue tc head during the winter. It may be ne cessarv to put some pine btok or hi raw over tlie head, io further protect (hern if the weather is extremely cold, though I hare rarely found it necessary. Upon the first appearance of the heads bursting to run to seed, cut thetn ail down and put them away in a cellar, or any other cool place, and they will keep until they can all be disposed of. Cabbage are very -liable to be eaten up in the fall by the green worm.? They may be caught by breaking ofl a leal and putting on the top at night, when numbers of them will be on lit* under-side next morning. This repealed, will soon destroy '.hem all. Fowls let to run among them will destroy s gient many of them. Cabbage planted my way will head very low, near eft the ground, and fowls can reaeh them, A sure preventive against cut worm, is to sow salt upon the ground in the fall or winter at the rata of three or four hundred pound-* to the acre, which is also a good manure. The Powers Of the Memory. Those who have seen that prodigy. Blind Tom, in one of his concerts know the rest, it is only necessary for him once to hear the most diilictill music, when he immediately seats himself, and I wish the most wouderful ease aud cor redness executes it upon tbo piano.? lie has in his a ecu rale aud piodigiously releulive memory, it is said, as tnany as five thousand pieces, which he will, with unerring fidelity, reproduce at call. LUstoiy funui-Iick u? instances of the power of memory scarcely less amazing perhaps than this, but the intuitive faculty of executing tbe mtuic which i* laid up in the chambers of his memory is something apart from all powers 01 recollection. Tins is the astounding feature in the phenomenon which puu all philosophy to the test. Wiiteri upon mental science have onrefully pre served many instances of the moH amazing powers of memory, to a few o! which it is interesting to recur. Oyru*. it is said, knew the name oi every^oflicer, Tiiny thai of every soldiei thai served uuder him. Tbcmistnclet could call by nam? each one of the twenty thousand citizens of Athens.? llorleiisius could sit all day at an auction, and at night give an account ol everything sold, the purchaser, and the price. Murotus saw at l'adau a young (Jorsican, says Mr. Stewart, who could repeat, without limitation, thiitv-sis thousand names in the order in whicli he heard them, and then reverse tlx order, and proceid backward to tlx first. L>r. WalHs, of Oxford, on one oc CMxion, at night, in bed, proposed tc himself a number of fifiy-lhico places and found its square root of twenty seven places, and, without writing down numbers at all, dictated the result froir memory twenty days afterward. I was not unusual with him to perforce arithmetical operations in the dark, at the extraction of roots, e. g., to forty decimal places. The dialingnhhed Ku ler, blind from early life, had always ir Ida memory a table of the first six pow ers of all numbers, from one to on< 'hundred.

Menage, a seveo'.y-seven cotnmcmoiaies in Latii verse* the favor of the god* in restoring to him, after partial eclipse, the ful power* of memory which had ndoruoi his early life. * The instances now given are men lioaed by Mr. Stewart, but, perhaps the most remarkable instance of grea memory in modern times is the case o the celebrated Majflinbechi, librarian o the lJuke of Tuscany, lie would in foriu any one who. consulted In in, no oniy who had directly treated on anj particular subj'-ct, but who bad indi tecily touched upon it in treating o _.i ...t,:.-.- .. .v. 1 r umur iiii'jrvis, lit IIIU numi/ci ui, pvr haps, one hundred diflercnt authors giving I lie name of the book, the word* often iii? page where ?hey were to b< found, and with the greatest exactness To test hia memory, one Any, a gen llernan of Florer.ee lent hint at one linn a manuscript be had prepared for tin pics*, and some lime afterwards eanu Khirr. with a sorrowful face, and pre nded to hare lost his manuscript bj accident.

" No, air," answered Magliabei chi, " it is impossible; there is but one , in the world, that is in the Grand Selgtn . tor's library at .Constantinople, and in ? the seventh book on the seventh shelf; on the right hand as you go in." The question has been discussed by i wiiters upon the human faculties, * how i fur the power of memory may be regarded as a lest of intellectual ability.*' Some have contended that an efttrSof-* i dinaty memory is incompatible with a sound judgment, and even that an tin> usual development of the facultv is at* I tended with a corresponding deficiency of some other mental power. Gibers, i and it is believed the majority of sound writers on the subject, entirely contro(' tert this idea, contending that the men , of the most active and commanding in) tellect have been men also of tenaeiotf* . and accurate memory, Napoleon being i produced as a remarkable instance in t point) also philosopher Leibnits, as well as others whose cases we hare tneo-' i tioued.
