Gen. J. B. Kershaw will deliver a
lecture before the DeKalb Literary
Society in the Town Hall, on Monday
evening next, 30th inst., at 8 o'clock,

TO THECIT1ZENS OF KERSHAW
COUNTY.
Feeling the importance of extending
every facility in our power for the preservation
of the material interest of this
County, we, the Commissioners of Kershaw
County, desire that whatever influence
or responsibility we may have,
should be exercised for its benefit, and
anxious that a consultation of the citizens
(in co-operation with those of
Lancaster) be had, to mature plans by
which the construction of a Rail Road
to Lancaster, to connect with the S. C.
R. R. at this place, invite their attendance
at a public meeting to be held at
the Court House, on Monday, September
6th, at which time and place, plans
for effecting this object practically will
be submitted.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Last Tuesday was "Return Day" for
our District. No great deal of suing
has been done to this term. We know
of bat two cases on tbo Sessions side,
of any interest, both murder cases.?
The Equity Docket having been nearly
untouched for several terms, has assumed
a capacious and formidable size.?
We presume that the session will be a
fatiguing one. Judge Boozer will
preside.
HOMICIDE. *
Jof.l A. Schrock, Esq., Magistrate,
. r held an inquisition, on Monday last,
upon the body of Paul Williams, (colored)
deceased, at which it appeared
that about four o'clock, on Friday afternoon,
last, deceased and one Hubert
Nixon; lads of twelve or thirteen years
of age, had an altercation; that deceased
threw a brick at Nixon, which striking
him in the mouth, knocked out one
tooth, and loosened another; that Nixon
Moboit nn anmft lirir.k. thrvw at de
ceased, striking him upon the right
tide of the stomach, somewhat in front,
from which wound deceased came to
his death on Monday morning between
3 and 4 o'clock A. M.
A post mortem examination was made
by Dr. S. Baruch, from which it appeared,
that decomposition bad already
begun; that the bladder had burstcd,
and other evidence of great internal injuries
sufficient to cause death.
The deceased had no medical attention
whatever, showing a degree of in
humanity in his parents, which should
be severely rebuked.
Nixon has been committed to jail:
reOSPHATE MANUFACTORY.
. .. We have been kindly permitted to
lay before our readers, the subjoined
letter from a practical business man of
Charleston. It explains itself and the
argument must convince any reasonable
mind. It is very desirable that the
stock should be taken at an early day,
as other parties are very desirous of investing
in the same property referred
to in the letter. We therefore urge our
planters to come forward immediately,
and let us keep this money making
speculation among our friends. The
price asked for the place is 650,000.?
Shares 8100 each. A subscription list
can be found at Messrs. Hodgson &
Dunlap's.
Charleston, Aug. 21, 18 09.
. Dear Sif; Mr. has placed in
my hands, your letter to him relative to
the formation of a Stock Company for
manufacturing "Fertilizers" from the
"Phosphate Rock" of our State. I
notice you are confident that at least
$25,000 would bo subscribed to the
Stock of such" a company by parties in
your section. I have very recently
visited Mr. 's plantation and
examined the ground pretty thoroughly
and from what I have seen and heard
from others who havo examined his
place, l am convinced there is money
in it at the price he asks for it. He
estimates that the strata underlies
jibout 150 acres of his land at a depth
of from 1 to 4 feet, and that the average
yield per aero would be 800 tons,
.which would make the aggregate yield
120,000 tons, which, at the price he
names for the place would cost 42 cents
per ton. Now to inakc a liberal allowance
for over estimate, I propose to
make the calculation on the supposition
that there is only 100 acres of rock,
and that the yield per aero will be only
500 tons; this gives 50,000 tons at a
cost of 81 per ton. The cost of miuing
and washing, I put at 82.50 per ton,
(the calculation made by me from data
furnished from Mr. 's actual expenses
up to this time, is 82), to this,
add 81 more per ton to cover interest
on money invested in land, making cost
Ul i-lUCK C-:,UU pui k<jli. luuujr wiu|ii?iivo
not own'mg mines arc paying $0.50 to
$7.50 fur the same rock and those at
the North, in addition, pay fnp $3 50
to $4 frioght. l>y owning the land,
the company saves in the cost of the
rock from $2 to $3 per ton If other
companies can pay, say, $2 50 per ton
more for their stockholders, it is very
evident that if the company we propose
to establish is properly managed it must
do so also- * * * *
Keep the ball in motion in your part
of the country and if you can spare the
time to ascertain definitely what amount
of Stock can bo taken by your people,
write me, and I will then make my arrangements
to start on my trip, stopping
first at your place and consulting
with you. The proprietor of the place 1
is willing to subscribe to 8:i5,000 of the
Stock. Do let me hiar from you as
early as practicable."

We have received the prospectus of
this Magazine, to bo issued on the first
of October by Messrs. Walker, Evans &

and patient waiting for the Present, and
hopefulness for the Future." The publishers
state that they intend to make
it the best and handsomest Industrial
Magazine ever published in the South.
It trill coutain sixty-four large pages

RAIL ROAD MEETING IN LANCASTER.
We learn from the Ledger of Thursday
last, that a meeting of the citizens
of Lancaster was held on the Saturday
[ previous to consider the tollowing proposition,
made by the corporators of"the
South Carolina Central Kail Road :
1 st. If the owners of the Coruden
Branch will by vote agree to unittf with
us, and take stock in our Company in
exchange for their stock on equal terms,
thon we will lift their road for thirteen
miles and turn it round to Sumter.
2nd. We will run from Camden to
Lancaster if the people of Lancaster
will give the right of way free, and subscribe
ono hundred thousand dollars to
the stock of the Company to be paid in
land along the route of the line at its
assessed value or in cash.
The following resolution submitted
by W. A. Moore, Esq., was unanimously
adopted:
Iieaolved, That this meeting unanimously
accepts and express unhesitatingly
the opinion that the people of
Lancaster will unreservedly accept the
propositions submitted by the Corpora
tors of the Central Rail Road, communicated
in the letter addressed by the

The Revivals.?The religious meetings
at Beauty Spot Methodist Church,
says the Bcnnettsville Journal, closed
on Thursday last, and resulted in the
conversion of several, twenty two of
whom joined the Church.
The revival at Hebron Church, which
commenced on Friday last, still continues,
and is iargely attended. There
seems to be a powerful awakening of
the Holy Spirit, and the community
seem powerfully impretscd on the subject
of religion.
At Brownsville and Beaver Dam
there are also revival meetings in progress,
which promise to be abundantly
rewarded by a largo number of conversions
and accessions to the several
churches. Verily, the spirit of God is
at work among the people."
Still they cry Forty Acres and
a Mule.?At the recent township
election in Lancaster, says tho Ledger,
one of the colored voters who was rather
slow to exercise his now born privilege,
made the enquiry, " what this election
was for? he didn't understand it." lie
was answered by one of the ardent, that
" the Surveyors arc to lay off for the
colored people their forty acres of land,
the Selectmen will levy a tax on the
rich men with which to buy you a mule,
the Clerk will record your title, and the
Constable is to see that no one disturbs
you in your possession." The darkey
was rather pleased with the idea, but
when the ardent presented him with
the radical ticket and read over the list
of names, he recpcctfully bowed out,
exclaiming: "1 don't know'bout gitin'
lorn mon to fin <lnt. irth for fflC." He
refused to vote and weut home.
We understand that this idea was industriously
circu'atcd and impressed
upon the ignorant colored voters hy the
leaders of tho party.
Good?A carpet-ragger, whipped
by a Negro.?The Georgetown Times
says : " We learn that un Monday last
a carpet-bag teacher, who styles himself
Major Joseph 11. Simonton, was
drubbed with iqual severity and justice
by a freed man, whoso nauie have not
learned. This interesting performance
took place within the walls of the

SENEX.
TnE Law of Divorce.?The Greenville
Enterprise says:
Judge On* has rendered an adverse
decision iD the ease of'Jobn II. Walker
vs. Mary J. Walker, petition for divorce.
The ease has been held under
consideration since last court, and the
legal profession will be indebted to the
Judge for the very learned and able
opinion in the ease. We have examined
this opinion; it will form a landmark
in future eases. The Judge distinctly
indicntcs that the Court of
Equity of this State always had the
power to exercise jurisdiction in divorce
eases. We have long been of the
opinion, notwithstanding the uniform
disclaimers of the Judges, and have
always believed that a Court of Equity
could and ought to havo granted divorces
where there existed the scriptural
justification. It is manifest that
Judge Orr would restrict the granting
ofdivorce to casesofthemostaggravated
character, and he would not suit Chicago
or the State of Connecticut.
IIon. Jefferson Davis?The New
Orleans Picayune has information that
in a very recent Jetter Mr. Davis spoke
of his health as by no means so precarious
as has been lately represented.
In addition to the foregoing the Picayune
has a copy of the Glasgow News,

U A U LI I J Ml/lllj VWUlUIIKiJ^ w I v^/v. . WW
"Highland Agricultural Society Show,"
in which it is mentioned that "special
interest was excited among the spectators
by the presence of Mr. Jefferson
Davis, the President of the late Southern
Confederacy, who drove about the
grounds with the Marquisof Twceddale.
A Singular Story.?The Washington
correspondence of the Baltimore
Gazetlt furnishes that paper with the
following political rumor:
A singu'ar story is running the
rounds of-political circles here, growing,
out cf the extraordinary and othcrwiso
unaccountable tergiversation of the
President in turning suddenly upon a I
party lie had just Iiiiusclf formed. It n
is to the effect that the Goutwell gang b
has promised, in consideration of Grant's t
total abandonment of reelection, to a
create for him a new military office t
higher than that of "General," under t
some new name to be hereafter invented, s
and to include command over both sea t
and land?the salary to equal at least b
that of President, to be paid in gold? t
and to commence the instant his present d
office expires. A proviso, it is said, is c
to be added, in plain words, giving a t
clear field to gifts and donations, and I
gratifications, foreign or domestic. The i;
only difficulty in the way of earring out t
the stipulations of this treaty, it would c
seem, is the possibility that Iloutwell t
may himself be defeated before the pco- 1
pie and a Democratic House of llcpre- r
sentatives installed before the time allot- t
ted for exchanging the ratifications. a

THIS IN-COMING COTTON CROP a
There is every prospect this year of a
large cotton crop. In the ycur 1859
and 1800?the year before the war? 1
the cotton crop of the United States
amounted to 5,196,94-1 bales, of 400 '
pounds caoh. Last year, it amounted ^
to 2,430,893. This year, it will pro- f
bably reach 2,500,000 hales. What, 8
now, is the prospect of high pricep f
of being realized? We think good.? 1
The cotton interests of Europe and a
Amavt/tn olnno reniiiro. it is estimated. a
IXUlVItVU H1VUV ,
an annual supply of over G,000 of bales; 1
whereas the present available prouuc- J
tion of the world will not, this year, J
amount to 5,000,000 bales. The fol- v
lowing estimate has been made for this f
year's cotton crop: \ l
Easl India 1,500.000 bales ^
Egypt 2U0.000
Turkey, Levant, &u 12.500
Brazil, Peru and West India ...707.500
United States 2,500 000
All other sources 50,000 i
Making 5,000 000 bales ?
Now, if the world's consumption a- t
mount to G,000,('00 bales, we have an t
apparent deficit in supply in (he raw f
material of 1,000,000 bales at the end .
of the present year. If these figures c
be correct?and DeBow's Review is our t
authority?there is every probability of
the present high price of cotton bciug
maintained. Let this exhibit stimulate ?
the energies of cotton producers. Let t
the farmer work on industriously until a
his crop has been gathered, and in se g
curing his own interests, ho will be ad- t
vancing the interests of the public. s
A Georgia paper, with little taste and ,
less judgment, sneers at South Caro- ,
lina's devotion to cotton-making, at the
exjense of political aetivity. Let us
say to our cotenmorary that, in the pre"
* - -- 1 I t
sent condition ot our oiaro ana nur i .
people we deem it a pious task to whi- !
ten seme fields with cotton and to make
others gladden the sight with corn and
wheat UDd oats and rye. The intelligence,
worth and substance of Georgia
now control the ballot; but bero, in
South Carolina, those elements will
reach the goal that Georgia has already
won, only by passing through workshops,
and cotton and cornfields. Industrial
development at once causes and
sustains rightful polhical adjustment.
Upon the foundation of our industries,
let the temple of our restored liberties
rest broad, solid and majestic.

Tiie New Cotton ^ Crop.?tiie i
prospect for the south.?A fow *
bales, aud the first of the uew crop, '
have come to tho New York market? J
That from Georgia, (says the lie aid,)
classed as low middling, was sold at 1
auction at thirty six cents a pound and 1
that from Alabama, classed as strict
middling, brought forty eight and a 1
half cents. These, it is true, may be !'
termed rather fancy prices, as the first 1
bale or two of the new cotton crop al- s
ways brings more than those that come
after. Hut it is an indication of what *
the price will be hereafter. Wo may
conclude that the crop of 18G9 will 1
realize an immense sum of money.? ,
This crop is variously estimated?be '
tween two millions and a half to three
millions bales?probably it may reach ;
two millions seven hundred or two mil- 1
lions eight hundred thousand bales II (
the average price throughout the season *
of sales should not exceed twenty five '
cents a pound?though from present ap-( 1
pcaranccs it will be higher tlian that? 1
the crop will be worth over two hundred j
millions of dollars. From all the lights
before us there is reason to believe it '
will bring that price in gold. The pro- *
duction, too, is in addition to the rice,
sugar, tobacco and other valuable crops
of the South for exportation, ucsiues. ?
that section of country lias paid more (
attention to the raising of groin, corn
and other articles of food since the war,
and is now, perhaps, independent or near- '
ly so, of outside supplies. In short, the *
South this year will have a surplm production
to be sold over and above the
production of necessities worth at least '
two hundred millions of dollars. Who (
will not .?ay the South is becoming (
rich again ? Wc must admire the won- '
derful recuperative power of the people >
there, and congratulate them on the
splendid prospect they have of material
prosperity. With more labor and capi- t
tal to develop their resources tho South- ,
ern States will become very soon the
richest country on the globe.
Tue beautort Negro.?A correspondent
of tho Boston Traveler, npeak- s
ing of the condition of tho Sea Islands
and tho negroes, savs :
Away on the sandhills, in the bombproofs
of forts, under old forts and de- 1:
caying tents, this family of colurcd i
%
aen, during the war industrious and
lappy, are now passing their lives in
ho wilderness of the desert islands, ,
- ' 1_ / '
long their shores or in the wooas 01
he inner islands. Such lives will soon
ie passed. For they till us that the
urf which can be heard so distinctly is
he only voice that sings the dirges of
tundrcds that almost daily are laid in
heir cold square tenements that are
lug in the sea beach. Going down to
leath, a whole race ; at the rate of a
housand a day, and leaving none belind
to bear their names! This, then,
b freedom! Sufferine for food, fbrclohiDg,
for everything; having no moicy,
no trade, no employment; nothing
o hope or live for. Free to search for
abor they cannot find; free to die unlOticed
and unkenneled, one aitcr anohcr
until the fatal fiftieth 'year comes
round, when at the present rate of disease,
the whole ruce will have gone to
. gloomy hereafter.
The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat
ells of a singular case of superstition :
'Clvatling with an aged lady, wo no
iced the wonderful preservation and
linr fppfji ?nd could not TC
raiu from mentioning it. 'Yes,' said
he, 'I never Intel n toothache or lost a
ooth, because I bit tho snake.' On
nquiry, she stHfed that when children
t home, her father had madcthenj bite
i rattlesnake, he holding the reptile by
he head and tail; each child bit along
he entire backbone, not violently-, but
ust so as to indent the skin ; and this
vas considered an infallible recipe afaiust
toothache and decay, aod which
he old lady believes up to the present
tour."

Social Life in China.?In China
una and wife never walk together arm
n-arm in public, nor even side by sido,
>ut the wife always fellows her lord at u
expectable distance, as the women do
nuong the American Indians. At so;ial
parties the sexe3 sit at different tables,
occupying separate rooms, and vist
only uuiong themselves. Strangers of
ippoxito sexes ire never introduced, nor
lo the women ever speak to the men,
micas relatives or \ery Ultimate ass-'ci
ites of the family. There is no such
hing as social lite, in our sense of the
void, among the Chine.-c. And all
heir social and domestic theories and
jracticos are based on the id> a of wo
nan's inferiority and insignificance.?

oughly is this feeling of inferiority in
rraincd in her nature that, in the only
jook ever produced in China by a fenale
author, the proposition is gravely
itated and elaborately argued and illus,rated,
that ''woman was made for the
ianic purpose that tiles are?for men to

ico tho freedom und equality allowed
jetwccD the.sexes among Europeans and
irguc strcnously against it, aud, when
vanquished in argument they reply with
heir usual stubborness and pertinacy,
'May bn good for Melicato man; for

of European ladies into China, some
>f their women have begun to entertain
ionic little idea of their rights, and it
ias now become a proverb among the
nen that "the most dangerous things
