An Apolooy.?In our report last
week of the meeting at Antioch we inadvertently
omitted to mention Rev. J.
G. Sessions as one of the speakers. It
was entirely unintentional on our part.
Mr. Sessions, though called upon unexpectedly,
delivered a most eloquent and
effective address.
We would call the attention of per- 1

$20,914, leaving on amount above '
the returns of $28,S14 in favor of the ^
State. The Board will meet again on

geese that used to be around the streets
of Camden have diminished considera- 1
bly of late. Somebody is "short of 1
meat," and they nightly raid upon the '
flocks of geese that may chance to be 1
away from home. One gentleman has '
lost 20 out of his flock this season, and '
be now offers a reward of $10 lor the 1
thief, (with evidence to convict him) 1
that took them. Beport him whoever 1

"The Belled Calf."?A gentle- '

however, relates to a calf with a '

11 id night, and keeps him awake with
ts bell serenade. He has tried dog,

"The Tiiihd * Party1."?We clip
from the Charleston iVcics ami Courier
the following concerning the " third
party." of which something has been J
heard in this county: "Mr. Alexander
McLean, of Sumter county, asks us to
give him an opportunity to set himself
riphf before the public, lie says there ^
is a thir l party" in South Carolina
which favor* the p >'icv of Hampton,
and r'eogniz s the paramount importer.
cc ol white predominance, yt insists
that the colored vote shall not be ignored.
lie wishes to have an opportunity
to sh"w that this party ha* the "nobles'
of purposes," iVc. J here arc only twot
parties in South Carolina, tho Radical
party and th?- Democratic party. Of
the "third party," unless it he composed
of Mr. McLean, we have heard
nothing. Its principles, as lie describe*
them, arc the principles i f the Democratic
party, and Mr. McLean need
not, therefore, take up tho cudgels in
their d'-fence," We beg to repeat the
motion made at Ratcliffe's mill in thicounty
a few weeks ago: ''That Dr.
Mc Lean be declared a straightout Democrat."

The Darlington Homicide? aj
dispatch to the Charleston Xrics and j
Courier of the 14th announced tho
killing of Mr. Em berry Woodham, of
Stokes' 11 ridge Township, Darlington
County, by Mr. E. A. Woodham, bis
nephew, who had fled.
From a correspondent at Stokes'
Bridge we have learned that Mr. E. A.
Woodham is not a nephew, but a cousin
of Mr. Emberry Woodham; and
also that from new lights gathered of
the affair since the* inquest, there are
grave doubts as to who killed Mr. Emberry
Woodham, as there were several
fcrsons engaged in the mclcc on both
sides, aud the pistol firing was promiscuous.
The deceased gentleman had
jost returned from the field, and was
trying to quell the disturbance when
tilled, which has caused the opinion '
irnong some that the fatal shot was not (
limed at him, and that his killing was
hat far accidental.
? * . ? i r ? _ j 1
Uur correspondent nas aiso lurnisne'i ^
is with a history of this unfortunate j
juarrel, which we refrain from printing
>ut of respect to the parties. It had
ts origin, however, in the duplicity of
i young Dr. Huggins towards two 1
roung lady members of the Woodham
amily, and much of the blame for the t
vhole affair could properly be laid at
lis door. j
Tiib Churches.?Though somewhat
rarm, last Sunday was otherwise a 1
ileasant day, and all the churches were
eell attended. At the Presbyterian <
Church, in the morning, a large congregation
was present to welcome Rev. {
5. II. Hay, who hns just returned from
lis vacation. In the afternoon Rev. (
^Ir. Dodge, of Jacksonville, Fla., ocsupied
the pulpit.
The Methodist congregation, who have ,
icen worshipping in the Presbyterian
Jburch during the absence of Mr. Hay, ,
lave returned to the Town nail. ^\fter
he sermon in the morning, a church
'onfcrence was held, at which resolu*
ions wero adopted thanking the mem- 1
iers of the Presbyterian Church for the 1
lse oi mctr nuuaing lor loe several
Sundays passed. In the evening Rev. '
Mr. Wilson preached a special sermon '
or the ladies, and his subject was dis>osed
of with great delicacy and npproiriatcness.
The Rev. Mr. Therrell preached as
isnal at the Raptist Church, both mornng
and evening, to good congregationsRev.
Mr. Miles, of Grace Ohurch, is
till absent on vacation. Judgo Kerhaw
conducted the services of the
/hurch in the morning.
The usual services of Grace Church
Mission were conducted in the Count
ilouse on Sunday night by Mr. A. D.
Kennedy. Quite a number of persons
verc present, and the general attendince
at the Mission since its establish*
nent has beep of a nature sufficient to
mcourage its projectors in the hope of
ts permanent success.

The Great Rain.?For nearly the [
?ho!e of last week more or less rain has !
alien, but the great rainfall that came j
jpon this community on last Tuesdaj
itands out conspicuously as having no
ecjual within the recollection nfthe"oldest
nhabitant." The record of Mr. Golin
MaRac's rainguagc showed a fall of five
inches. As might be supposed, this immense
flood has caused great damage;
roads washed up, bridges carried away,
many mill dams blown up, aod general
injury to the crops being the result.
N'othing short of a large freshet was
Bxpected by every or.e, and early on
Wednesday morning many anxious farmers,
whose interests are on the river,
were down to the banks of the old stream,
watching her progress with feelings, we
iuppose, akin to a man who watches the
bauds of the clock slowly move round
to the hour that fixes his execution, fur
none expected but what the waters
would soon spread over the beautiful
fields of corn and cotton, and the labor
af the year b<-"lost in one d'sasferous
moment Hut the brave old Water-*.-,
is if conscious of the treasures that depended
upon her fortitude, received the
raging floods into her broad bosom and
afely earried them away without leaving
her banks. Only in a few low
nlaces did the river leave her banks,
and then not to result in serious damage.
The planters on the cre?'ks have
find badly. however. In many sections
of the county we hear of the cotton and
corn in the bottoms beinj; not only covcvered,
but washed away
We have heard of tho destruction of
many mill dafns, notably aroonp; which
are those of Messrs. Clarke, Gray and
Albert, in western Wateree, and Messrs.
Adams, Suiyrl, Vaughan, Gardner and
Hough, in the northern and eastern
parts of tho county. The disaster to
Mr. Gardner was especially serious, as
bis uiiil bouse was also prostrated. It
| was by the most constant exertion that
: Mr. W. F. Morrill saved hie dam, he
having worked all through the night
"Xpto 10 o'clock the nest day.
the damage has been very
great, and'has involved very heavy loss
to the farmers in every gocHou of the
county.
Personal.?Mr. John E. Wingate,
of Darlington, haB secured a position in
the store of Baum Bros., where he will
be glad to sec his friends. Mr. Wingate

The reason why there was no brick

there was no prospect for a demand
sufficient to justify the outlay
necessary to make them. We know

School District \o. 5.
Messrs. Editors : As your Journal
is an exponent of the rights of the
people, religious as veil as political,
liberal as well as conservative?a principle
that is rare and should be highly
esteemed bv all, regardless of sectional
principles. Then assuch, Messrs, Editors,
ask space thrcugff your col uuins to defend
an attack made upon my faitii in a piece
headed "School District. No* 5," and
signed by J. K. Shaw, of Turkey Creek.
As there is but a portion of it I take to
myself, the balance I will leave for those
whom it was intended. The school mat- 1
tpr I know nothing of, and I care less, i
The fiOltlshall notice, is to ask Mr.
J. E. Shaw what is experimental reli- >
gion ? Is it that which Protestantism
claims ? If so I pity him with shame j
and sorrow to claim religion through i
cne of his natural senses, equaling himself
with the animal creation (for all
bave their natural senses) which merits
hat pity which language fails to cxcrcss.
for religion can never be conveyed
our knowledge by the feeling; but i
he knowledge of doing that which is ^
iglii produces thnt peace and liappi- .
less which a guilty world knows noth- j
ng of. A religion that is produced .
>y the feelings exhibits such foily it
night to be sufficient to drive a mau of
eason from such foolishness, for such is
in abomination in the sight of an Allvise
God. It has no resemblance of the
xeamplo set forth by our Saviour or i
iracticed by bis deciples.
The next is, that I never knew a
' -?- _ U..* -
juestion asKca nroiner Duyi? uut m.ai
10 was able to answer and a full cxjlanation
give, so plain that a way..
aring man, though a fool, need not be
nistaken, for it speaks badly for Mr,
shaw for not seeing why it was impos- ,
ible with God to create such a being as t)
he devil, though I have seen uicu, in p
he face of a fact, deny the truth and "
ay that they could not understand. 11
such must be wofully blind or wilfully
ying, and such must be that portion jj
>ur Saviour had reference to when he ii
aid "in seeing they saw not, and hearng
they could not understand," they a
>eing that portiou of his lss'ues that j
vould not repent and accept of the
ncans that was provided for their relemption.
Then I have seen others deny
ho truth and run current with a lie to ^
ccep pace with popular opinions, which a
s most generally* I?d by ignorance, t
Then if the truth is hid, it is hid from
diose whom the god of this world has 1
jlinded. I hope it is not the case with Jj
Mr. J. K. Shaw, but that he may turn J
o his reason and learn what is right- j;
:ousness and accept of it upon its own t
erms; that the scales may fall from his ^
yes, as did those from Saulof Tarsus and 1
lie sound to vibrate in his cars, "Why jersecutost
thou me ?"
The next is tliecpithct tiiven to our faith (
is the lightning-bug doctrine or reli- k
rion. of which I assure you, Messrs.
Editors, and the roadcrs of your JoURval,
that there is no mortification on
.hose who practice the doctrine and no
inimosity or prejudice engendered byr '
Mr. Shaw's appellation, for it is one (,
flint blends light superior to that of the ,
tumble-bug faith. (Protestantism ) It t
is destined to fall as Jerusalem, for I
tee no inclination of her graduate son
to defend himself of their origin, faith, J
doctrine and practices, being that of ;
jorruption; and we claim for them it is I
the want of ability and not a disposition 1
for those who have ever attempted it, '
have been driven into silence and re- ,
mained so; and we consider that the ]
propagation of their teachings is a wilful
imposition on the minds of the ig- '
norant. Our teachings are before the '
world, and defy the world to touch J
tlicm without getting themselves ox- ,
posed. And as for our superior wis- <
dom, there is enough among us that our 1
adversaries cannot resist or gainsay. '
Then fear not, little-.flock. I speak to ,
those who are keeping themselves un- i
spotted from the world and arc press- <
ins forward to the mark of their high '
calling in Christ Jesus, for the weapons
aur Father has given us are not carnal, (
but are mighty and will achieve a glo- i
rious victory over the world, the flesh i
md the devil. Respectfully,

Overtasking the Energies.
It is not advisable for any of us to overtask

to its womlcrously renovating powers. It

ami counteracts the injurious effects upon
