We find the following in the (iarleslon World of to-day, in its Columbia correspon dence: "The governor to-day removed John H. Mahoney, a trial justice for Clarendon county. Mr. Mahoney is charged with drunkenness and general neglect of duty. -The governor has not yet appointed any successor to Mr. Mahoney." New Cotton.

Last Saturday, at the Sprott Guards re' union, a negro came on the grounds with r ground-rattle snake about ten inches long, that he bad caught a short time before. ThE snake had two perfectly formed heads, with two mouths, four eyes, etc. The heads sep> arated about the neck in a very natura: manner. When disturbed it would thrusi out its forked tongues, sometimes both al one time, and again one at time. Each head seems to have been distinct and per. -feet. It was a great curiosity, and attracted .anch attention. Survivors' Meeting, Co. H. 'The regular annual re-union of the sur vivors of Company H, 5th Regiment S.

The jailor as usual went up stairs late in the afternoon to lock the prisoners in their cells. After dark he had occasion to go back up stairs to give some medicine to a prisoner. Lewis knew this :and planned his escape. He took from the fire place a piece of scantling and wrenched the cell door open. He then took his po sition behind the door and as the jailor passed in Lewis passed out. This is the first escape from Sheriff Brad 'ham's custody, and he is anxious to have him captured. He will pay fifteen dollars for his apprehension and once he gets him 'in his hands again he says he will hold him. Although the condition of the jail is such that almost any prisoner can escape, and the grand jury has reported the matter sev eral times, yet no attention has been: paid to the report. Summerton News. SUMMhEETONc, S. C., Aug. 25.-We are hay ing genuine August weather, and rair enough to satisfy the most cLronic grumb ler. The cotton crop is very good in this sec tion, and if the rain holds up picking wil commence this week. The corn crop is no quite so good. The present price for cot ton makes things look pretty blue. I was told by a responsible party that new cottor sold in Sumter last week for 4 cents. It wa: undoubtedly a very inferior article. Dr. B. M. Badger has sold out his mer cantile interest to Messrs. J. P. Brock ani W. G. White, who have formed a partner ship, and will move the Badger goods to thi Brook stand on the corner. Mr. J. J.

The Manning academy, which was burnt several months ago, is being re-built, and will be furnished and ready for use by the 7th of Septemi- U ber. ~Mr. Dunn, of Sumter, has the t contract, and the building will be t plaeod on the lot adjacent the dwell- j ing of J. ). Alsbrook, Esq. Mrs. E C. Nettles Alsbrook will be principal. Delayed Train. The nail train due at this place at I 8:20 a. im., did not reach here vester- r day until nearly five o'clock vester- ' day afternoon. The cause of the de- b lav was a bad wash-out on the North- t( eastern railroad between Bonneau's and St. Stephens. The track was overflowed for three miles, and in sev eral places badly damaged. The f break has been repaired, and the n train this morning arrived on time. i Terribly Burned. Mrs. Peggy Holladay, about sixty- 0 tive years of age, who is subject to a epileptic fits, met with a very serious w accident week before last at the house 1 of her son, Mr. Jeff Hollalay, who s lives seven miles east of Manning. C Mrs. Holladay was alone ini the Si house, and it is supposed was parch- 9 ing coffee in the kitchen when a fit ti came over her and she fell into the fire. When Mr. Holladay arrived home he found his mother lying on 0 the piazza of the house, several yards g from the kitchen, unconscious, and P with both legs horribly burned. a Dr. L. W. Nettles, of Foreston, and Dr. W. M. Brockinton, of Manning, . met yesterday at Mr. Holladay's house in consultation about ampu- a tating one or both of her legs. On t3 examination they found that it would c< be necessary to amputate both legs. one above the knee and the other above the ankle, but as inflamnnation had set in to such an extent, and be- 6 ing satisfied that the unfortunate rE lady could not stand the shock, they t: decided not to perform the operation. u i i It Foreston News. g Willie Hodge, a white boy about 1 ten or twelve years old, died at his sc home at Foreston last Monday. As X he had been pushed'off the depot to platform a week before by a negro w boy with whom he was playing, it W was thought his death was the result a, of this fall, and an inquest was de- hi manded. Trial Justice Canty sum- it moned a jury of inquest, and an au- jo topsy was held, after which a verdict of death from natural causes was ren- o: dered. 01 A case of assault was tried yester- ta day at Foreston before Trial Justice ta Canty. John Wilson, who is about b fourteen years old, was attackd on c the street by Cadet Tom Sparks, who 84 is a year or two older, and was given t a beating. One of the witnesses - lso d testified that he saw a pair of knucks in Sparks's possession. As the case had a pretty ugly appearance, the t trial justice fined young Sparks fifty ti dollars or thirty days. An appeal k was taken from the decision of the k trial justice. It is also said there will h probably be one or two other indict ments, one of which will be for car- ei rying concealed weapons. p Mr. Hudgins still defies the State to show better cotton than is made p around Foreston. V. h Beauty and Chivalry of Foreston. N FoEs-ros, August 19.-On Monday even- P ing 17th inst., the merry-makers of Fores- t( ton, with ardent zeal, bent on enjoyment, w assembled in the hospitable parlor of Mr. tC J. J. Bragdon, who, with the genial Mrs. h Bragdon, understands perfectly the art of making young people happy. 3' Such an array of beauty is seldom found I in any room. The ladies, radient in smiles, c brightened the "tout-ensemble" with the e splendor of their eyes. We will attempt at description of some of the dresses and jew- h1 els worn on the occasion. L1 Conspicuous in black satin trimmed with k white lace, was the sparkling and vivacious to Miss Corn Hudgins, pearls. t Miss Gussie Barnes wore pale blue silk h trimmed with gold arrow-heads, gold and n jet. Miss Ethelind Bragdon was a fair flower, it in white sarah, plamn gold.t Miss Jaaie Land was very lovely in cream colored satin trimmed with bewildering i tints of blue, pearls. pi Miss Marie Brunson wore a beautiful tl: mourning combination of black and white ?a silk, diamonds. g Miss Blanche Walter fascinated the be- h. holder in a suit of fawn-colored silk, with a cluster of fuschias in her hair, opals. th Miss Pauline Drose wvore a quiet silver- of grey silk with a heavy spray of crimson b< roses, rubies. Misses .vaisy Bragdon and Olive Hudgins re wore plain white and flowers. th The gentlemen were in full evening suits it of drap d'ete, and looked very handsome. tI Cadets Sparks, of Davis College, N. C., and w; Cannon, of Porter Academy, Charleston, 0f sandwitched the black suits with their uni- L forms. Ta It was an evening of rarest pleasure. th If we were a marrying man Foreston is b: the place we would choose a wife. But, alas, our heart is destined to die a thousand B deaths under the torture of feminine cruel- Si ty. Cupid will throw his shafts about. w This evenirg's gayety will, we presume, ta end the festivities of the season, and be the oi preface to the Lent of a protracted meeting. T We tendered our acknowledgements to jo our kind host and his graceful wife, and sI went home happy, singing "From an Aug- e ust evening party, I was seeing Nellie ti home." Burros. fo Li The peculiar enervating effect of summer weather is driven off by Hood's Sarsaparilla, a which "makes the weak strong." tla Packsville News. Picssvn.rn, Aug. 23.-The farmers of e this section, in spite of the many rains, tI have succeeded in gathering their fodder, ' and now are beginning the work of cotton ei picking. We hear them grumbling on all d sides about low prices of cotton, and many a: of them have decided to plant less cotton d end more grain in the future. 0o The Rev. Mr. Wells preached in the Bap- .tI ist church here Sunday afternoop. It was LIt his first sermon here since his vacation, and :P was appreciated by all who heard it. A pro tracted meeting will begin here at an early 'J date. Mr. Rice, a recent graduate of Fur- el men University, will assist Mr. Wells, and a a good meeting is anticipated.

I hab known men, dcah breddern, dat nebber told a lie, but I heard dese same men tangle up de truf in to such an unrecognizable mess dat eben Ananias himself would hab a1 hard tussel to make up a lie to t Re-Union of Ine .Sprott tuards. Last Satnrtay we had the lideasur of, inding thc rpQinf of Comp:ny , bett :nown as th. Sprott Guiards.

Notice of ti lace of meetin' wfas published in 1f 'IMEs, and, as was expected, a large nir er of people who knew how Mr. Sprott c1 rtains, gathered. We were among the first to arrive, and as indeed a handsome picture that in ur view as we drove up: the hospitalb ansior, shaded by huge old oaks, with t] d gentleman, his estimable wife, and umber of grand-children on the piare; ic "grand old mnan" held in one hand t assive gold-headed cane that was presen 1 to him by the Sprott Guards, as a take their appreciation for his many kin -ts toward themai in war and in peace, an ith the other he would grasp the hands is guests, giving each a warm shake, at ich a welcome as can only be given by arolina gentleman of the old school. F, veral hours after our ar, val, people froi r and near were gathiering, and while si ng on the spacious piazza watching th:' they approached, we were stru-k wit e beauty of the surroundings. In fro 'the yard is a magnificent field of lidn: :een; on the right another field planted i eas, for forage; on the left corn; immined ,ely in front of the house stood three st tel 'oats and hay; at.d the place was su >unded with a frame of beautiful woot nd. Everything denoted prosperity.

When the guests assembled there was mnezlal hand-sbaking amona the... Tb terans, of course, were men that ha ached the shady side of life, and some ( eai are closely nearing the time when r( ions on earth for them will be no mor< was a pretty sight to see the affectionat eeting that these battle-scarred old patri s would give each other, and with wh nderness they would recall to each othe ime incident of the late scene of bloo xnage, privation, and suffe j;ng, that the gether had passed through. One incider ould bring up another, and while so.. ere fraught with tear-fetching sadnes! id even some were full of horror, other Ld their bright side, and when relate .eir old countenances would light up wit y. One of the incidents related was how a: ficer had jestingly tested the honesty ( ie of his commiand. The officer had ol: ined for the man a bomb-proof position king him away from the scene of whiriDn illets and death, and had placed him in th dinary department. One day the offiec id to his chaplain that he was going t st -'s honesty by telling him that if h .d not send him an extra ration he woul< ake him give up his position and go int ,ks. The chaplain begged the officer nc subject his man to such a great tempt. Dn, that man was naturally weak, and the te temptation to steal an extra ration t ,ep out of the way of danger was so gren at few could withstand it. The ollicei >wever, had his mind made up, and gc ig out to the cooking department, he call I his man out and took a walk with hin atting on a serious air, he said: -- e position you now hold is free from dan r, and one where you have a decided at ntage over those in the field: you alway ve something to eat at your coiman( ow, this position you hold under my ay yintment, and you are under obligation me for it. I want you to hold it, an ill keep you in it, providing you consci do as I wish." The officer now lowerin is voice so no one else could hear, said [ will retain you in this place of safetyi yu will slip me each day an extra ration. he words had hardly escaped from the off r's lips, when the man indignantly whee] I from him, and in a voice loud enoug: be heard a quarter of a mile, repeated lf dozen times that he would do no sue: ing, and that he would shoulder his mu: t and go to the front rather than consen any such arrangement. The man wa king so loud tl'tt the officer whisperedt m to hush, but it did no good; the indig ition of the man had been aroused, andi as only after the officer assured him thn was all a joke, wvould the man consen remain in the position. Another incident was told of a certai: ~teran eating fourteen ears of corn for sui r. The veteran said it was not so, for : e time referred to he only ate thirteel r, but aaer eating them he was still hut y. He said he would have eaten mor ad it not given out. At about one o'clock Col. Hi. L. Blenbovr e company's first captain, and presider 'the Survivor's Association, called th: >dy to order under the shade of one of th ammioth oaks in the yard. Thirty-thre sponded to roll-call, and after addressina em with a fewv appropriate remarks, Ii trodueed Rev. J. C. B3issell, who openes e meeting with prayer.

T1he tabl< as laden with the best the land could pre de. Everything was there in plenty, ant as served in that style which has mad e Sprotts noted entertainers; It was ai :cellent dinner, and all enjoyed it. The dinner being over, the veterans wer lIed back from refreshments to labor, an eir annual election of officers took plaet he following officers were elected for th isng year: Col. H. L.

L. A. Mr. George R. .Jones had been asked ave a speech ready for the re-union of ti prott Guards, but for somie reason lie w; ot called on. It wvas afterwarrds haul us with the request that we publishi t is as follows: Farrsos As) SU:avrvon~s 'F Tri:SE ItUA:s-The: re-union of the Sprit Guard omrales. has al ways beeni and wil a lwa: >e a pleasure, ideked, to me, for theyafr s the opportunity to meet (eh other, ake the land, and to con:verse with ea< ther. It is a great !>leisunie to re-call t lavs when it was sa:id there is war ini o1 utd, and when we donned the grey ar cent forth to meet in: iaitle the hated N 'ri rD invaders. It is a lltlme to kno& h >atriotically we went, forth to enmag. hat long and unequal contest in deifec he rights of our country; yea, and to he world see we were free mren aind Co: Confederate soldier is a title we shall always LI- be proud to own. Our re-unions affords us the opportunity to relate to one another our r hard-:hps, our sufMrings, anl the noble s terifices maio during the days that tested : 11ien's valor, in defence of the rights of our country, as God gave us to understand those igihts. Comradts, we were then. and are i-t:ll, patriots. We were not traitors, reb ls, and eonspirat irs, as our enemies would have it appear. Tho man who dare brand the Confederate soldiers as traitors, rebels, and conspirators, is nothing iore nor less than a narrow miroh-d, St1id fool. and doesn't know what he talks abiout. He has never lIarned the d-finition of the words. With all their misrepre(entations, there w ill. be one indisputable fact they will never b- able tn gainsay:'the Yankees confronted itl e noblest army that was ever marshalled on this planit," and, comrades, it will be a lpride to us to know the Sprott Guards 1 formed a part of that grand-the grandest of all airmies. Wc contended and fough: ' for a principe, a constitutional principle, the ri'ht of self-goverament, and we never t ceased to battle for that principle every free n man hol-, so dear, the right of self-govern " ment, till further resistance would have - )f simply been madness, and would only have added gr-oter devastation and ruin to our d noble and loved Southland. a Coirales, we all remember that for more ,r than hilf the tiie of that great struggle. the arim of the Confederate States was -0wnd-J with success, and many brilliant " vitoie s lerched upon our banners, but h t t was prolonged, and T . re~ed the b.ginning of the fonrth year, it culi very plOanly be seen that from. thence T fut i t wa is to be a question simply of en durance on the part of the gallant South, 2and on the ')th of April, 1865, the limit of endurance was reached, and our gallant ar mies had f yield tie unequal struggle they o Imd so nobly sustained against overwhelm r in-, numbers and unlimited resor-ces, and to submit to all the humiliations incident to < a capitulation. On that day, comrades, the starry Southern cross, the flag of our - country, the flag we bad so much learned to A a love, the flag we had followed and defended s' long and so nobly, the flag so many no d ble and patriotic hearts throbbed their last f throb amid the storm of battle in defence of, was furled forever, and it was whispered, - "The war is over." e And now in conclusion, comrades, I take the liberty of returning.lie thanks of the sur t vivors of the Sprott Guards to the fair ladies r who have spared no pains to make this re union a happy and pleasant one to us. We Y assure theni they 1ave succeeded, and our i prayer will ever be, God bless the noble C women of our Southland, and may He ever ' have them in His care and keeping. Ws We also return thanks to the venerable, a patriotic citizen and Christian getftleman, h Capt. Joseph Sprott, Sr., who delights so much to honor the survivors of the Sprott . Guards, and who contributes so much to f make the occasion of their reunions pleas- t ant and happy, and we sincerely trust his life may be spared for many years to come, and that his latter years may be the most c happy and pleasant of his life. We trust r r that when the survivors of the S rott 0 Guards have had their last re-union on 0 earth, and when the last survivor has an swered the last roll-call, may we each and tall have a* never-ending re-union in that t bright land above the skies, and "drink from the waters of that river that eternally , flows by the throne of God."
