J Hows Summary.
vlKJejpropose hereafter, for the benefit of those of
-eurmuntry friends who do not have accoss to the daily
to givo in each issue a short eumtnary or abStractof-ell
tho important news of the week up to ike
tour.of going to press. By this menus wo hope to
subscribers well advised of what is going on
ar>d abroad We shall begin this scries of
articles in our next paper.
The Small Pox.
Wo are glad to assure our country friends that there
is no danger to any one coming to town of contracting
this disease. "Wo hear of no new cases, and understand
that the old ones are all convalescent. Indeed
the disease has not from its tirst appeuranco assumed
a malignant or even dangerous typo?not a caso having
terminated fatally. Though there has been no
alarm or panic, the authorities have been vigilent in
the uso of ull the means in thoir power to prevent its
extension. .Vaccination has been very generally resorted
to, and this, wo trust, together with the approach
of warm weather, will certainly check the
spread of tho disease.
Sequestration.
The '^tece'var" for Fairfield, Kershaw and Sumter
Districts, Mr. Jas. R. Aiken of Winnsboro, visited our
town on Tuesday and Wednesday, and was highly
^ratifletf at the prompt manner iu which our merchants
responded to his call. Wo are pleased to learn that
quite ai huuibor of them jpaid up thoir amounts in full,
and all in part.
l"his ia gratifying lo the Confederacy, which is at
present much in need of Ainds, and speaks well for their
gagacity in availing of tho present abundant supply of
the Circulating medium to relieve themselves of this obligation.
The Weather.
The weather?which in the absence of other topics
if conversation, is a prolific source of comment as well
as edi^oriol squibr?has been, for the past few days,
pleasant and delightful. Following tho inclement
Weather of last week, it is highly appreciated and enjoyed.
The planters-are busy with their ploughs and
hie gardeners with their spades, preparing the ground
for a new crop. W<r fear, however, that old Koreas
has not taken his finot leave of us for the season, but
that he is only recupetating his strength for a stronger
and more chilling blast. A n early spring in this climate
inmost goneraHy fatal to the fruit crop, succeedoct
as it often is, by a raid or two of Jack Frodtf. We are
sorry tfo see that tho buds of the peach are beginning
- to swell, and from every appearance will soon put forth
flowers, should the weather Continue warm. We
would groatly prefer dubmittiflg a little longer to the
dominion of old winter, to losing our fruit, for with

12 rifled twelve pounders, and carries a crew of one
hundred and fifty picked men, under Col. Elliott.
She was struck twenty times, but being cotton-clad

without her prizes which are probably re-captured or
destroyed.

of one thousand killed, wounded and missing.*
Anecdote or Wendell Phillips.?Mr. Train, in a
speech in Music Hall, Boston, spedking of Wendell
Phillips, said:
That distinguished Abolitionist went to Charleston,
S. C., onoe before he was very well known, and put
up at a hotel He bad breakfast served for him at his
room and was waited upon by a slave. He embraced
the opportunity to represennt to the negro, in a very
pathetic way, that he was a man and a brother, and
mora than that an Abolitionist. The negro seemed
more anxious about the breakfast than he was about
his relations and the oondition of his soul, and finally
in despair, Mr. Phillips ordered him to go away, saying
that he could't bear to be waited on by a slave.
"Excuse me, massa," said the negro, "must stay here,
'cause I am responsible for tne silver ware."

Ground Arms ?We were informed last evening by
reliable authority,4hat four whole regiments of Fed
erel troops had Iain down their arms at Baton Rouge,
their officers having all resigned without exception.
We commend them for the act; knowing themselves
odgaged in a dishonorable career, they have voluntatily
abandoned it, and should now be recognized as
"white men" wheresoever dispersed. The Federal
authorities are seeing the beginning of the end?the
hand-writing upon the wall already speaks in trumpet
tones, "weighed in the balance aud found wanting.?

In the Indiana House of Representatives a motion
was made to adopt Gov. Seymour's message in lieu on
Gov. Morton,8, which had not been furnished; also, a
resolution to suspend hostilities and call a convention.
The latter was referred.
We are told that the stories about Mr. Seward's
heavy drinking, so rife the last year, are declared to
gfow out of the fact that he drinks largely of cold
tea, witnout milk, ont of a black bottle.
Valaudingham has consented to candidate for Governor
of Ohio. We suppose he will be elected. He
will certainly test the opinions of the people of the
State in relation to the war.
