ICuncit Horry IIukald: Not vi?y long "go a circumstance occurred in our orderly ami ijuiet town worthy or the consideration of each itihabitant of the planet indeed of ti?? county itself. In tno soronitv of the Holy Sabbath, a dr< vo of lior ses arrived in out* community for the purpose of opening sale on t'10 follovirg itnlny. A goodly number, of persons wore attracted by tlie coming herd to the locality. Of course the small boys were there ami then some tluit wore not so small. The sons of Ham were well represented in the eager crowd; but still, unless our eyes are dim from age and I deceived us, there were several who would not like to be numbered with V the tons of Hatn. The usual Sabf / bath violator was there it) force; J these go as you please persons so / common at present; but the saddest r of all is some were there, from whom a bot'^r example was expected. Of course they were not there to Imv horses on Sunday, () no, only to see the drove and perhaps fix in their minds what they would do on Monday. No harm in that, of course not. K not thi^ fho ti'nnn f? v?? - r* T" i""v that scripture quotation that rolls so sweetly under oven many profane tongues? That, "the Sabbath was made for man, not man, for the Sabbath/' So you can clearly see, that a drove of horses may bo moved on Sunday and people may go and look at them and the pulpit should ho silent. As to the church, she will find plenty of work in teaching heathen and other sinners without telling enlightened christian people abou how to spend the Sabbath. N< w sir, tin question is clearly before lis, who is responsible for that sadly desecrated Lowf's J)">' ,J owner of tho horses, wi . them into the county on text's consecrated day. or tho men who brought i thetnV Let each, answer for himself under a consciousness that tjod he. is hi dieision. The country . contai is i tany men ready to offer goods for sale on the Lords day wherove; they can find customers, who i 11 buy is the only question to fx settl e!. Then, if ifealira have no I) conscience end trespass boldly on sa -red time: tho purchasers could . soon croato a remarkable tender conk science by purolmsihg stock, only of B tllOSB wllrt resnect tli<> ?!?%? /?/." ???? > ?..v mm y *vuii^uvur ! I tod t<> rship. Let it onco bo understood in Marion and every whore olso that the people of 1 lorry county1 buy no horses from men who bring in their stock on Sunday and you j will have no more trouble in that di-j roction: but bo assured they will | continue to come in violation of law,; both human and divine while we continue to purchaso and rid so no prophets. One cf the greatest moral triumphs within the reach of this, or any other county is a resolution that we will rigidly abstain from I complicity with all persons, who in 'their business ignoied the Lord's Day.

J Eniron IIokiiy IIekai.d: 1 have lately soen it stated in the j papers that the North and South Carolina delegations wore not ready to present their claims to the ltiver and j Harbor Committee because ttiey had not as yet received copies of tho reports of tho engineer in charge of those works.

As those fall reports consist of about 370 pages of typo-writer foolscap manuscript, it is impossible for mo to furnish copies of them to any body until they shall have been printed by " lor of Congress (which will probably not bo until next October,) but those reports are on file in the office of the Chief of Engineers in Wasliiu^toi), where they o;?:i a!way* " l>r? s ?on ami consulted l>v members (J mgross and other interested per- j | ( In these reports 1 recommenced ^ certain amounts :m those which eou'.d be profitably expended during the coming year 'see uccoinp.myi (; table.)
