THE TRi- EENLY .RUALD. -NEWBEI'.RY, S C FATMfDAY MORNl4 APRIL 15, 1885. Inerese in Subscriptiou. As noticed- : -t week'the lrice of the Herald from this date, increased to FIFTEEN DOL LARS Or three months. Parties sending us ien dollars for sbscripti)n will be credited with that arnount fo r ikmontis. April 18. There are not a icw rnmors ifoat, but as they happen -o often to' be without foundation, no publicity is given them *o- Weregret to learn that John Kinard, son of 6ur worthy post master, was wounded on the 31st ult.6 at Petersburg. His wound is ia the right arm. " A 'subscriber' at Donaldsvile is informed that in addressing a letter to Johnston's Army, no partieular point heed, or can be, added. Sirr ply give name, 6ompany, regiment, brigade, and add Johnston's Arm g Foster's negro troopi, six thousand in number, on a raid from Charleston, entered Sum ter, S. C., on Sunday afternoon last, driving back our forces there and burning the place. They are supposed to be making their, vrato Camden. -T 'he Chester Carolinian says that Gen. Lee's present position is at Parmville, on the Lynchburg R. R., fiftv-five mIles fro,m Richmond, and bout twenty-five som Burksville, where tbe road joins -that which extends-to I:anville and southwards. The Treairy Department We understand that this depgment will locate at Anderson. The ladies and gentle'men ctnect ed.witt , ;rho bave .een sojourning here for a few days, wig leave at once for their new field of operation, glad no doub4, with-a prpspect of rest from their travels. The Irqn-Clad Oath, As administered at Savannab, is*ery stringent. and en,s with. the words: "All -this I do most solemnly and sincerely swear, without any hesi tation; mental reservation, or secret evasion of parpose in me whatever, pledging my--sacred honor, my life and my property, for the due ob servance of this my solemn oath- of allegiance." A description of the person is append6d, The 15th of April. A great jollification no doubt took. place in *Charleston yesterday, ever memorable as the /anniversary of the lowering of Sumtar's flag. This d:ay was set apart for once. more unfurling it to the breeze, by MIaj Anderson; and Henry Wade Beecher called upon to be- the drator. *But little glory can be .made out of it howe-:er; Sumter never was taken by assaul,' burt resisted - all the eff'orts brought to bear against it... Not withstahding, we will hear of a big time on the strength of it. Who ar$e'flnes This community was no little agitated, on Thursday, by the' report from some flying indi vidual, that the- yankees. were-at Springhill, about J 8 miles distant. Of course, there was no truth in it, and but little ground' for being so badly' scared.- We hope, should they ever come, these ftying alarisats wilf run toward them inistead of away. In the midst df a thousan.d alarms and *troubles, it will be *ell if they assume a virtue if they have~ it not,--put on a-bold. front, and as certain- the difference .between friend and foe, betore -epreading such ',ild and unfounded re ports, frightening womei and childien, not to say men. No Doubtoafit Our neighbor oftihe Edgefield Adr$ser makes a capitol lilt in the following paragraph. 'No doubt of it, there be many. who 'ook for the good timle spoken of, when apple and peach will reign lords paramtount. Should a worse enemy than oid King ~Jack not visit us, -theyll have a huge tibin: "The moon filled on Monday right last, and *the weathe~isstill warm; so the probability of a killing-frost is well nigli over, and the fruit crop may be considered .an accomplished .facty As. sootn as the appred and peaches are faintly streak ed, every body will fall to diAtilling Peach anad Apple Brandy.

An iucident worth "mentioning,in" connection, begging the lady's pardon for telling it,-occur-. red while gathering .supplies. Mrs. H. Brantly calling on a merchant, requested a aonation of sugar. Our friend *ith the su*r said he had nothing to put it in, and that if she would take off her hat be would fill it. Quick as thought Mrs. ,B. accepted the banter, and to his surprise les-I sened the sugar pile considerably, proudly walk ing off with her 'fascinatdr' full of short sweet en'rg. I From. Mississippi and Alabama. AUGUSTA, April .-A special despatch' to the Columbus %'un,' of the 4th, states that. General Adams, commanding the District of Alabama. has issued an order thati Montgomery shall be defended.. Gen. Beauford has been assigned to the command of the defences -of that city. Gov. Watts has isslied a' proclamation allowing .nen tc vote whether they will leave their, counties for the defence of another part of the Stare, the militit of Alabama -being only heldr to the militia service in 'the counties in which .they reside. The cotton warehouses, government works,, I and navy yard at Selma were burned by the Federals, and a few houses- accidentally. Ger., Forrest fought brilliantly, -and was- wounded three times, but did not leave thedfield. The enemy hold Montgomery HI,-;near Cleaborne. No boats were captured up. to the last accounts. - The Government of the State was removed from Montgomery,, atdahops wgre closed ii and around the city for ten rpiles, by order of Gov. Watts. The Appeal newspaper is to go to )facon) the 'Advertiser to Eufaula, and'the Mil to Columbus. The Post Office has beensent with'letters mailed, to Columbus, in safety. In Selma all the cotton was burfed, but little Government property' was saved. The loss iS many millions. The los4 of the-city is attributed to a 'disgraceful. stampede. There were very few f Forrest's men- iii the figpt as his comnmand' had adt arrived in time to, meet the enemy's,! assault, which occurred on Siturday afternoon and contiiiued for an hour'very hard. The enemV suddenly charged our left on the'West of Selma, where our line ws weakest, and cast a few shell niong- the horse-holders who-stampeded., Our forces then retreated in confusion to Selma, Genq. Forrest and.Adami# boldly ,cut their -%ay out tovards Montgomery, but wit some difficuhy. Gen. Taylor left Demopolis the same evenil"', but before the fight begn. General Forrest telegraphed Governor Watts on Monday afternoon fhat lie is on the Mont g6mery side of the Alabama River, and that there is t1hirty miles which must be defended. ''his inspired conlidence, anid every body went to work t6 -effeczt this -end. The Rebel printing office -got away sfely from Selma. - The other offices were lost. The enemy have retired from- Blakely and viciDity. It'is believed by the authorities t.hat be has move'd towards Mobile from Selmna. DANvrLa, A pril 9.-Gen. Lee hmoved to the'vicinity of Farcnville, followed :Grant-.I figbdng daily. There was heavy figbting- on Thursday; no particulars.' The enerby have established a hospigl at ,the Junction, where there is-a large -number of their wounded, Th'eir loss was very heavy,.in the late~ fights. They are npt approaching this w'ay on the line of the Richmond and Dan ville Railroad, edui munication, being still open to Keysville. A wounded 'soldier, who'escaped from the eng.ny,- says they are'uneasy about a foreign war. It is repoted thatt courier from the army brings news that the New. York Herd ays .Emperor Napoleon recognized this Govermet on the 5th of M""ch -A coumn of cavalry is 'reported at Henry Court House, thirty-eight miles' from Danville; probalaly Stoneman. -A skirmish took place near there on' Saturday, without results. A column of the enemy is reported n.ear* Lnchburg. - Persons coming-from Richmond confirm th) burning, and say the'eeytetdtebak harshly. -eeytetdtobak Not long sihece a youth -accidentally swal lowed a leaden bullet. His friends were very naturally alarmed, and' his father, that no means might be spared to save' his' darling boy's life, r;ent post baste to a surgeon of skil diecting his messenger to tell the circui stances. and urge his coming witjhout delay. The doctor was found, heard the dismal tale, and with as much unconcern as be would manifest in a case of headache, sat down and wrote the following, locanic' acte : "Sir ; Don't alarm yourself. If after three weeks the bullet is not removed, give the boy a charge of powder.. - "P.S.-Do'taim the boy at anybody." We are gratified to learn that the valuable' government arsexal, naval foundaries, stores, etc., at Selma, were removed from that point, some titne-smnee, to. a more secure location, where they will 'be secure from any danger of Yankee raids.
