TRANTHAM, County Chairman. Attorney-General Youmans. It has been our pleosuro this week to meet this distinguished gentleman who visited Camden upon professional business. It gave us no little pleasure, and although we have frequently had this honor before, we are free to confess that we knew not the real power of this great man until now. He, Hampton, Ken. nedy and Conner were the real warhorses who pulled us through the great campaign of '70, and his name will for- 1 ever be illustrious as one who gave uew 1 birth to his prostrate State. We are indebted to Col. Youmans!1 for a copy of his great speech in Boston |1 in bis "look" after Kimpton,and we ! regret that our time and space does not ' permit us to extract copiously from it this week. We promise to do so in 1 future. i His burning eloquence, his brilliant i oratory, his fervid, truthful and glow s ng defense of his State and her chief s one of the grandest things that we lave ever read. He stood at the home >f Webs'er himself, right under the ihadow of his bronze statue, and defended constitutional liberty. It was ilrnost enough to tear from the tomb itselt tnis great expounaer 01 constitutional law. Though South Carolina has wallowed in sackcloth and ashes for ten long weary years, surely it is ended dow, for one of her truest, noblest, and withal, most learned son9 guards and watches her every interest. With Hampton at the helm and Voumans to advise, the ship of State will never wreck. We are anxious for our people to know and meet with Col. Voumans, and in this connection we cordially invite him to be with us on the 18th instant, in our celebration of Hampton's day. Our University. If there was one thing dear to the hearts of the people of South Carolina t),n nor ?? Wild ftiA Smith Curo ftlVJl b bllV "Ml j It II MW ?WV - lina College. There our best, purest and most exalted men finished their educational career, and launched out into life. Few positions of great distinction, coupled with dignity, tone and merit, have been filled without claiming at least sotne share of love for this dear old institution. Heartfj to-day beat warmly for her, and many of us call her " Alma Mater " with a reverenoe which betokens more than common affection. To mention the host of noble men that have proven worthy sons of our State is useless. They have adorned the bench, the bar, the pulpit, and every other useful walk of life, and may be called legion. After the war this grand old college was changed into a university. Like most everything else that took place at that time, it suffered from the wounds of radicalism, deep and sore, and to our sons the place that knew their fathers could not know them. The veil of " enss " was thrown all around it, and that veil was upheld by the marshall tramp of the soloier whose flag waved over the dear old chapel which had always been dedicated to God. So it has been, and deep has been the silent, long hrnnfh of manv of the old students as sadly they drove around those sacred grounds and looked upon them as the mourner does upon the tomb of departed friends. In th3 providence of God,"all has now ohan?od. The educational mother of Hampton and Oonttf rm mmmm ?IT~. Trom many quarters hear it said,Ief it rest. We urge not. Restore her once again to us. Open her up to ns, and let that "pound foolish and penny wise system" of allowing the seed corn ^ 1- i :i 10 degenerate, uu iuugci prevail, utilisation i9 the groundwork of success. It is (he pivot upon which turns a country's prosperity; and as our candidates are now chosen and will le elected, we charge them to restore to South Carolina the only color that is now obscured from her face. Work for it unceasingly?make your influence felt, and let our boys go where their fathers are proud to hail from. Death of Mrs. Sally Ohesnut Mackay. t 1 1 it iL a gioom nas ueeu iiiiuwu urcr hub entire comtuuuity by tlie sad and untimely depth of this most estimable and accomplished lady, which took place at the residence of Mrs. Reynolds, in this place, on Saturday, the 7th inst. Many indeed were the 9ad and troubled hearts on the beautiful morning of last Sabbath wheu the church bell called ua to the house of worship, where there, for the first time, we learned this most painful intelligence. Ihat one so young, so amiable, gentle and kind, adorning with her Christian virtues all the walks of life, should so soon pass from time to eternity could scarcely be realized; and no one who knew her could but exclaim, "How mysterious arc thy ways, 0 God !" In this terrible affliction, however, it is a a sweet consolation to feel and know, that as she passed down the dark valley of the shadow of death, sho had a rod and staff upon which she could lean, and which would never forsake her, but bear her safely to the calm and serene shore of eternal bliss. We tender to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathies. NEWS ITEMS. Two inches of snow fell in Cheyenne on the morning of the 8th. A poor schoolmistress in Chicago gave 85 to Southern sufferers.

He had died there yesterday or last night without any aid. The various relief and charitable institutions are doing much to alleviatp the eatress, but cases occur of whioh no one knows anything until aftsr death. A BENEVOLENT SCHEME.?The Southern Express has set on foot * scheme for collecting money for the yellow fever sufferers which not only reflects the highest credit upon the managers of this corporation, bat is calculas ted to accomplish more than any meaqs yet devjsed for aiding these unfortunate people. A subscription paper is placed in the hands of the messengers, who are instructed to leave it with agents at all points along the line. These are asked to contribute themselves and colm they cga in their seferal towns and 'vi 1 JfiifSS-.-?a* sow aa~*ue collections are made they are forwarded to such points in the afflicted districts as the officers of the company direct. The plan is working with great success. The scheme affords every one an opportnnity of exercising their charitable in* clinations, and in placing the money iu the hands of a thoroughly re)iahle public carrier, whose facilities enable it to transport the funds directly to the districts. The charity which prompted the express company to adopt and carry out this scheme cannot be too highly commended. The company is doing a noble service and one which will not soon be forgotten.?
