He was found speechless, in the road leading from Camden to Darlington, about four miles from the former plaoe, and carried in a house where he soon expired. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was that he died of congestion of the brain. The Rev. John Johnson. The community generally, and his congregation in particular, were loth to say farewell to Mr. Johnson, last week, beacuse he had during his stay among us, made many and warm friends. He goes to fill the place of Assistant Pastor of St. Phillips' Church, in Charleston, and carries with him the good wisnes and prayers of all bis Christian brethren. Court Week. Monday the 2nd inst., brought in Court week, with its attendant crowd, but many a newly-pledged juryman was disappointed when the Judge adjourned the Court, on account of sales day, and on Tuesday until the 12th inst. Several tracts of land were sold at small prices by the Sheriff, together with some cotton seed and several horses and mules, levied on and sold under agricultural liens. Tax sales begun on Tuesday, by the County Treasurer, and many an acre was bought in by the State, to be given out to its pets, Ht^small prices, we expect. The day of Jubilee, seems to be dawning for those who wish to seo white men taxed oat of house and home, and they pat into possession of what they are told belongs by right to them, ainoc their labor was the means of acquiring them. What a jolly Government we do have, which every year sells a part of that from which it is supported, buys it in, and imagines it is doing the people a great service, by pretending to give them protection for life, liberty and property! It looks pretty well to one who does not know but unfortunately wo who are acquainted with the inner workings of the system, can't see the exact point at which this protection touches us. And then to see how Mr. Comptroller-General, and Mr. General That or This, swallows their own words which they uttered in the late canvass, by declaring that the rate of taxation must be increased, is a bitter demonstration of the known fal. T>.? ? sitj of tbeir statements, uui a& ?c have been rebellious, or so-oalled, we suppose we must be made to suffer for it to the end of time. Incendiarism. It becomes our duty, as chroniclers of daily events, to record two instances of the above hateful crime, and to denounce the Radical politicians, who we honestly believe, are in great measure responsible for its increase in the different parts of our seemingly accursed State. On Saturday night, the 31st ult., the house in the lower part of town, owned by Mr. Player, known as the "Salmond house," was burned about 9 o'clock. When the alarm was given, the flames had made such progress that it was impossible to check them. Much valuable lumber was consumed in this building, it being well and substantially constructed. On Monday night, the 2nd inst., the barn of Messrs. Bautn, on their plantation on the west side of Wateree River, about four miles from town, was twnntv.three hundred UUiUCUj fiv? j bushels of corn. There was an insurance on the corn to the extent of $2,000; but still their loss is at least $1,500. Both fires were works incendiaries, I as the first house has been unoccupied for a long time, and a person living opposite, says she heard the match being struck, saw a man ran away from the house, a short time before the alarm was given; and in the latter instance, a watchman, whose house was not a hundred yards off, and who is a very particular man, had, not long before the fire, seen the horses and mules fed, and everything carefully locked up, without using any lights or allowing krmirrtlt (JlPfft auj iv uv vivw^m* ? Coald tho guilty parties be arrested and brought to justice, and severely punished, it would bo a blessing to the community, but so long as the worst criminals are turned out of the Penitentiary after a few weeks imprisonment, just so long wc may expect these things to occur. The Old and New Year. On this last night of the year 1870, amid the moaning of the wind and the creaking of the trees as they are tossed about, one is tempted to brood with melanoholy fancy, over its dying embers, and to desire to lift the veil from the future to peer into its secret labrynths. As the clouds outside drift aloDg in queer, funtastio shapes, so do visions of the dying year throng the avenues of thought in quaint and motgroups, like departed spirits around 1 -?: *i';v.->w. .;V * r^ m&r?. &*,*: d: < . : tM 'V /' ? r* cv " . . - V?' ; " " . < -V , ' Jr " ? " mm the grave of some dead sister. The hopes, once buoyant with life, that now seem buried forever; the seasons of joy, around which happy recollections cluster like stars in a brilliant constellation; the scenes of woe and desolation we have witnessed, still casting a shadow athwart our memory; the times wherein "we have wept with those who weep, and rejoiced with those who rejoiced," all pass in panoramic array before our mind's eye. The many hard rubs we have had in contact with men, which have given us some sad experiences, blighting the trust once reposed in mankind, but teaching more self-reliance and greater respect for those who have cherished their manhood's honor; the steps we have trod, to some of us, onward and upward, to others backward and downward; the friendship we have formed, the enemies we have made, the mistakes we have committed, the things we have done well, each and all come forward for inspection, and furnish food for thought and action. It is emphatically ihe season for selfexamination and reflection. It is the proper hour to strike a balance, to clear away the rubbish of the past twelve month, and to open a new leaf in the great Account Book of Life. The great chronometer of Nature, with nevertiring pendulum, points nearer and nearer to the completion of another decade. Remorseless and cruel war, armed with fire and sword, a hollow and unmeaning Peace, hard and grinding poverty, have all come to us during that period, but the wheels of the vast Universe, roll on iQ the 6ame steady beat, nor seem to regard the various and shifting scenes it brings. Events have followed events with fearful rapidity, and we have lived more in the last ten years, than in double the number of ordinary times. The fire burns low in its furoace, the lamp of its life is flickering and fluttering in its socket, *V./-v ttaow 1 Q7rt TO fAWVPr ! aUU bUO jvai AO IV *0 .w.w. ?. Turn we now to the new-born year, just commencing its existence. Buckle on your armor, friends, and face the great battle before you with energy and zeal. "Quit yourselves like men." Look forward to the fray, trusting in God to do the rest, whilst you do your duty. Knowing your faults and frailties, mend the first and guard against the latter. Make a resolve that before the year is past, you will do some act to benefit your fellow creatures. Set up a standard with some noble device emblazoned upon its folds, and press onward to its fulfilment. This done, and half the difficulties of the situation will vanish, and like some great ship which has weathered the storms of a decade, we will yet conduct' our State into a haven of peace and prosperity, and we, her crew, will be all the better, for having passed through the firey furnace of affliction, into the lasting joys of a quiet and coveted rest.

The microscope shows the color of the hair due to a deposition of pigment in its substance. When the hair glands become enfeebled, this pigment fails.? One after another the hairs become white, or fall out, producing baldness. Baldness is easy to prevent but hard to cure. Aycr's Hair Vigor stops it; even restores the hair sometimes; al* ways restores its color. Immediate renovation is at once visible; softness, and the gloss of youth. This great or* nament should be preserved since it can be by Ayer's Hair Vigor, which is beautifully clean and free from any# thing injurious to the hair. The Negroes to Pray for Him. ?The impeachment trial of the iniquitous Holden, of North Carolina, has been postponed until the 30th inst. The negro members of tho Legislature have published an address to the negroes of tho State, appointing Friday, January 13, a day of fasting and prayer for tho deliverance of the Governor. i "" -. '*,.. - / i i i i The Bombardment of Paris.? A special dispatch to the New York Herald, dated Versallea 37th ult., says everything is ready for the bombardment on a terrific scale simultaneously from a semi-circle West of Paris. The French have had some minor successes before Havre. Tho troops have been sent from Thionvillo and Verdun to support General Werdeu against Gen. Bourbaki. The German engineers doubt the feasibility of holding Mont Avron at present. General Cbausey reports a victory near Vendomc, and says he will follow up the success, and continue to advance. The besiegers around Paris have been rem forced by a large postion of Frederick Charles' army. A corps, 12,000 strong, sworn to cut their way through the Prussians, has been organized in Paris. A dispatch says that it cost the Germans eight thousand rneu to silence Mont Avron. West Virginia.?The result of the late election in West Virginia has just been officially announced. The vote for Governor was the largest ever cast, by about seven thousand. The majority by which the Democratic candidate was chosen was two thousand ono hundred and fifty. Democratic Congressmen were chosen in the First and Third Districts, both of which are represented by Republicans in the present Congress. In the Second District, the present incumbent, McGrew, is re-elected by a majority reduced from one thousand four hundred to nine hundred. Fire Loan Stock.?Before Judge Melton, of the Court of Common Pleas, on the 30th ult., the day set for the hearing, the order citing Niles G. Parker, State Treasurer, to show cause why an order should not be issued to restrain and enjoin, as Treasurer of the State, from appropriating any money in his charge as Treasurer of the State, for the purpose of redeeming, or paying the Fire Loan Stock, came up. The ??Viot?;rw? returned tl ft I reopuuucuu uvu u?*y? hearing was postponed until the 10th inst.,at Camden, where Judge Melton is at pre6eut holding Court. Daily Union. Governor Scott Endorsed.?The Hon. A. P. Aldrich having addressed some inquiries to on Ohio Democrat, in regard to Gov. Scott, has received the following reply: "Napoleon, Ohio, December 12,1870. "A. P. Aldrich?Dear Sir: Your line to me of 2d instant has been received. In reply, I have to say that I have been intimately acquainted with Gov. Scott for over twenty years, he having all that time been a citizen of our town and County, and I have, all that time, and do now, differ with him in politics; yet I must say that the statement made by Col. Wells, in bis printed statement you sent me, is substantially correct Gov Scott is a high-toned, honorable gentleman; is a man of truth and integrity; and he is, withal, a very kindhearted man; and if you should have any business with him, you will find him all I have stated. That is the way he is estimated here by us Democrats. "I wish you and other Democrats of South Carolina could see and make the acquaintance of Gov. Scott. I am satis.fied you would feel differently towards him from what you do oow. Very truly, yours, Jas. G. Haly." In communicating this letter to the Barnwell Sentinel for publication, Judge Aldrich remarks: "As I certainly would hnve published Mr. Haly's response had it been unfavorable to Gov. Scott, it is but simple justice to give him the benefit of this very complimentary notice." Georgia in a Blaze of Glory.t? On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the past week, occurred the geoeral ' elections in Georgia, and the result causes the true people of the State, and all their friends, to send their shouts of rejoicing to the very heavens. Out of seven Members to Congress, five Democrats are elected beyond all doubt, while of Members of the State Legislature, three-fourths are certainly Democratic. In our neighboring County of Richmond, of which Augusta is the county seat, tbe Democrats made a roost beautiful clean-sweep. From Coroner up to Member of Congress they elected their candidates by handsome majorities, with the single exception, we believe, of Tax Collector, to which office was chosen a gentleman, who, although a Radical nominee, is acceptable to all parties. The knee of Radicalism smite together in Georgia for very weakness Three cheers for our brave sister State! And three tiroes three for Richmond County !! 1 Edgefield Advertiser. The Ninteentu Century.?This magazine has passed into the hands of John G. Livingston, Esq., who will hereafter conduct its editorial and proprietary affairs: The January number will be delayed until the 15th inst., and the subsequont numbers will appear about the 25th of each succeeding month. Properly controlled, this periodical, which started under flattering auspices, should succeed. The Berlin correspondent of the New York World gives an account of the distressing state of affairs among the ! families of the Landwehr; refers to the debate in the Prussian parliament on the necessity of providing for the women and children, who are represented assta ving, and draws a doleful picture of Prussian home affairs. It can hardly be denied that there must of course bo much suffering among the poorer classes of Germany, but this correspondent has possibly exaggerated the condition of King William's faithful subjects. - ' ' *. '"V?v j ?, ' : t y v -'yf'r . ' ' '' v ..'111 i u ,11 iii II ! i Mil Hill i At Home.?Our Geneml Assembly having been in session a month, are now supposed to be enjoying the holidays. We wonder however, what kind of a time some of the members are really having with their constituents, and how they will answer some of the many questions which will be asked. For wo hear all kinds of indignant comments upon their course. Of cour.e these indignant ones remember that there are some members of the General Assembly who are worthy of thrir seats, and of honor; but for the balance there are hot words of Bcorn. Some even go so far as to say in effect, | "Now we expect that some of our legislators will 'look out for No. 1/ that they will be selfish, and that some of j them will even steal. All Legislatures hold "such men. The most favored legislative bodies of the North have their thieves, and we never expect to be exempt from such curses. But in other States even such men as these, after helping themselves out of the treasury, attend to the people's business! But our legislators seem to attend only to themselves, and almost altogether neglect the people's interest!" Now that is what the people are saying. And we are clad the members are home for a few davs. for now they cannot help hearing it, and they never would have heard it in Columbia, for somehow a few days' residence there deafens some men to every call of honor. And so, perhaps, when the General Assembly convenes again even such matters as those of the public school will be attended to. Daily Republican Amnesty.?In the debate on Amnesty in the House, Mr. Hoge, of this State, said "there might be a time when he could, with his friend from New York, (Mr. Wood,) overflow with peace and good will to all men, bat it would uot be -while the people of his district were shot and murdered and taken out of their houses at night, and whipped and otherwise maltreated, lie was opposed to this forcing amnesty upon tuen who declared t'ney did not desire it," &c. Now the simple fact is, the lawlessness iu his district docs not como from any organized hostility to the General Government. It is true that the outlawry comes from those who fought against the Government, and that this lawlessness and violence arc, to a large extent, the direct result of the rebclliun, disorganizing society as that struggle did, breaking up the old relations be* tween the iand owneisand the laborers, and lessening the sacredncss of iaw; and yet it remains that the violence of which lie speaks is almost exclusively local in its nature. Politics has somethiug to do with this violence, we almit, but it is the politics of our own f?tate and not the pontics of the nation. Thcu another fact, too, should be noticed in considering these up-country troubles, and that ia tliaf for voiirs ?mt vears the neoDle of "* ? J J r i that section have, to a greater or lesser degree, bceo cuttiDg and shooting each oihcr. After a careful study of Mr. Hoge's objections to amnesty, we are thoroughly satisfied thotthey should not be urged. As.for oursclveH, we again assert that we believe the time has come for full and unequivocal amnesty.?Ibid. "TniN Laws."?We heard a good thing a few days since, as coming from a West Point negro, who some time since was arrested and tried as being one of the pang of car thieves, some of whom were convicted and sent to prison at the late term of the Circuit Court. Our philosopher, however, was not proved guilty, and was discharged.? Conversing with a gentleman, to whom lie onnlied to tro on his bond in the ' rr rdays of his trouble, he expressed himself in this wise as to the Radical legislation etc., io this State : I tell you what it is, Mr. Pruitt, I'm doDe with the Radical party. They goes down to Jackson and parses the laws for us all?but they make the laws so thin thai the niggers always fall in and the white man keeps out! Before dese Radicals got into power, we used to hare only two courts a year. Then there wac more white than negroes 6ent to the penitentiary. Now it takes a whole year to carry the negro prisoners tc Jackson?and by and by, under dese laws and dese people, 'twill take a whole train to carry de nigger to de penitent tiary. I've done with dese Radicals, and can't vote for brotl er Whitfield !" Columbus Index. Trie Defunct Constabulary.? We learn from the report of the chiel constable, that during the past yeai oounnfr.oinrhf denutv constables have ov*v"v ?(t J been on duty. Twenty horses were on hand from last year, three of which died, one was captured, and sixteen remain in possession of the State now The expense of keepin? up the con' stabulary was $40,696,69 for services of deputy constables; $3,863 41 forage for horses, and 810,223,49 for incidentals and salary of the chief coustable. Number of crimes committed, 365, of which 27 were murders, 124 assault and battery, 92 assault with intent to kill, 15 grand larceny, 32 petit larceny, and the balance of minor offences. Phoenix.

The South Carolina Rail Road Company will carry cotton between way stations at 85 cents per hundred pounds, on and after January 1, 1871. * > ' - h * '.'A | Tehbibll;s Accident near Macon. ?The Mason Telegraph of Thursday says: I On Tuesday morning, about 11 o'clock, a party of gentlemen, composed of Messrs. W. Scott Clark, John Barclay, Dave Connor, Dr. F. G. Castlcn, Henry Ells, W. T. Nelson, George C. Napier, and a colored man named Bob Banks, left heie in tbree batteaus on a duck hunting excursion down the Ocmulgee River. They had proceded down the stream to what is known as Bullard's, near Barclay's plantation, when, on yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, the boat in which Mr. llenry N. Ells and his servant, Bob Banks, were seated, became capsized in the river by running against a log floating down the stream. Mr. Pills clung to his boat, but l|ob grasped the log and climbed upon it. So soon as this occurred, the boat in which Messrs. Connor, Nelson and Napier were seated hurried to the assistance of Ells and the negro, and, in the struggle to get them out of the water, this boat was also capsized, and the water was so intensely cold that the struggle was then for life on tho part of each individual, and as f6r clinging to the boats in such cold - - - -1 it. I water was ceriain acatn, eocn njan except the negro, struck out for the banks. Messrs. Nelson and Connor succeeded in reaching the opposite or east bank of the River, near Barclay's plantation, and, after wading through a cane-brake and water waist deep, and through the swamp, they managed to find their way to Mr. Barclay's house, after suffering most terribly from the cold. From there they walked to the Macon and Brunswick Railroad station, and reached this city last evening. Mr. George Napier reached tho bank on this side of the river, but as he got into a most dense cane*brakc, and near which there is no known settlement, the greatest fears arc entertained for his life. Mr. Ells was seen by Messrs. Connor and Nelson, out in the river after they got ashore, and he called to them that he was going down, and to give his love to his wife and mother, and went down.? The colored man still ciung to the floating log, but as ho could not swim and was Dearly frozen to death, no hopes are entertained that he is alive. The foremost boat, in which were Messrs. Clark, Barclay and Dr. Castlen, was several miles below the scene of the accident when it occnrred, and are not yet aware, perhaps, of the tragic fate of their friends. The People Getting Sober.?Tim Democratic triumph in the Senatorial election in Philadelphia on Tuesday had something more than a significance. It not only secures a Democratic majority in Pennsylvania Senate, but in a District which gave a Radical majority of 1,000 in October, the Democratic candidate is elected by nearly 1,400 ranjonty. The Radical candidate was a popular and respectable citizen, and a full vote wa<? polled, and yet the rout of the hitherto dominant party was complete. Latest Cotton Quoiutions. Camden, 13?.
