For the lust three Tour weeks there has been a constant bickering and quarreling going on. War has seen imniin.ut.oii several occasions, and goodness knows how it was iverted, the provocation was great mough! It may come yet. The very "next niv viiav Muuqm ir*?in mi* ofiinn ring to our ears the resounding clash f arms." Already our brethren of the ?fiyin'er and News itmJ ('tmricr are eddy to take the field. Words that are rirdly pleasant to ears polite, have assed and repassed. Crimination and v'criuiina'ion alternate dajr by day. All ha* can l>e sHt'tl hap been said by the leyixfer in very plain words, and at nine length?by th j News anil C'onrsr-Orfjually as plainly, but inure briefly, o it seems theru is 110 hi i<r loft to Then the News and (Joui'icr and the ipartanburg Jlarahl are not yet en I mod own. The former has acquitted the utter of "wilful lying" but invites liiui own to Charleston, for his health. Of ourse the T1 cruld will "come buck nt im." And ho that litili* .scrimmttgt> ;oeJ5 on. - Our friends of the Anderson Tuf.eUiencor niul Joumrtl have been indulgng in suine very intemperate language n the subject of prohibition, which ertainly does not piohibit the use of erv sfronerlaninniire to one's nntnirniiist. Iiitit week the Intclligcnccr contained jme .very plain , ta!1'. about Senator [ooro, in which "lie" and "coward" ncarredV We presume the Senator will so the Journal to roplv. We can alio#t snuff the' battle from afar ! Then our neighbor the Press and banner and the Laurensville Ilcrald re discussing tho merits or demerits of lie two counties for "lawlessness." Holmes of the Barnwell People has eon engaged in a lively tilt with the Vetvs and (Courier anent its action in Lc matter of aid for the sufferers by lo $tormin Charleston. Nevertheless it rods time to get off the original poetry ft) with which wc closp this article. I We too have been taking a hand mild y, and wo trust good-i\aturedly. We tad a few words of wisdom to give to >ur home contemporaries. Then we lad a little admonition for, and criticism if our iminenso city contemporary. Ind.of course he had to reply., lint he lid it very politely and nicely, and we re not going to keep it up any longer. In fact, brethren, let's stop this foolshness. Everybody is laughing-at us, ind. we are making ourselves rediculoua., We think this advice of Brother Holmes verj- good; To tlie Editors of the State Press. Let dogs delight to bark aud bito For God hath made them bo, Let bears and lions growl and light For 'tis tlwir nature to, But little scriblers you should nsver let Your augry passions viae, Your facile pens were never nuule To call each other lies. ?[Jimnwtll 1'coplt. THE CHIIONICIjE IN CAROLINA. , In accusing tho Augusta Chroniclt ot "officious interference" in South Carolina, we are forced to helluva that oin contemporaries, so doing, have ''strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel." That the Chroniclc has a perfect right to have a correspoi.dent any where in this State, and that that correspondent has a perfect right to express himself on any matter of public importance, leems to us so self-evident, that the issertion of it, is hardly necessary. The article which called forth the tinust criticism of the Chroniclc was rom the pen of the Columbia correslondent protesting against the views if several naiiera. fivnvi>a?.wl ? 7 lat tbo citizens of South Carolina wore set of desperadoes, c?t-throats and arbnrians. So exactlj* did the suntiient8 correspond with our own leais that we reproduced the article n our own columns. for thus daring to ditfer from their iews, these editors accuse the ChroneZe of "officious interference^ in South i larolina affairs. If upholding the good name of the Jtftte, and showing that certain utter- , nces are vile slanders, is called "ofhiious interrorence," for our part we want nore-of it, and hope that the Chronicle ( nd its Columbia correspondent will , ontinuo its ''officious intei feroncc" un- i il the whole country shall know how ilely we havo been slandered. ' . t*m? editor of ?bo Spnrtmihnr.i ' Jerald has published what wo con- < ider a very dignified and mnnly reply j , the bitior -words of the Ncicx and i "ourier. He gives tho nourre of the iformation upon which he wrote. The Vews and Courier acquit* hi;n of wilil lying, but thinks ho was very in- J iscreet, and so it stands now. t ^Our arrangements an nearly com- J: iete for our enlargement.

Our . talented young frriond, Ohas. Prcssly, Ksq., of Augusta, will removi in a few days to Atlanta to practice his profession there. He will enter into partnership with Judge Collier. Mr. Pressly is a young man of fine character, uood address, and a high order of ability. He is hound to succeed wheroever he goes. The A f erf i inn has taken no notice of our request tl.at it would give the facts, names ?te., in regard to the alleged ring in this County and State. Its refusal or neglect to do this is a virtual acknowledgement that the Medium does not know and cannot give any information on this subjcct. It is to he hoped we shall hear no more from it of such idle talk. Our old friend ami co-hihorer, M. B. Mejpweency of the Hampton Guardian, has been appointed Inspector General, on the slnflf of Major General Moore, with the rank of Colonel. No one rejoices more than we do over the doseived promotion of our friend. Mac was always ti ue and loyal and fai'hfnl, and ho is reaping the reward of his viHnes. Col. J. P.

H Bellinger gave us, a few days ajio, a graphic verbal account of the strange and almost fatal experience that befell a portion of his family last week. He It id <^oiie to Georgia's Creek church as a delegate from the IMackville chinch to the union meplinir Mrs. Ifcllitig<>r, his son, four years old. and the infant child, four months ohl, \v<re with him. On Monday, 3hst nit., they dined with Mrs. Odom, who lives some two miles from the church ntul ten miles from llhu'kville. In the afternoon, Mrs. Bellinger, carrying her hahy, went, with the little boj' into the gardan, a hundred yards from the- house. While they were quietly walking a bee llew upon and stung her little son, making a sibilant noise like the hiss of a serpent. Quickly in answer to its call, countless beos came flying from all directions and attacked the mother and both her children. Mrs. Jtellinger tried to brush and bent thum off with her hands but soon found that impossible. . Telling! her son to lun to the house she starred in that direction, but after going a little way she looked back and found that he had become bewildered and climbed a high plank fence, lhinning back she look him up and carried both children to the house as quickly as she could. Captuin Bellinger and Mr. Thomas Odom met them at the rear piazza and tried to beat off the attacking bees, but reenforcemcnts came so rapidly that they were forced to carry them into a room and shut the windows before thev could relieve them from their assailants. Such remedies as were at hand were administered and messengers sent for medical aid, but five hours passed before the arrival of Dr. Peoples. In the meantime Mrs. Bollinger and lioth children became violently ill. Great nausea ami protracted vomiting prostrated the sufferers and for some time the life <>f the little boy was despaired of. By Mrs. Bellinger's directions a hot bath and applications of mustard were given and his, life suved. l)r. Peoples remained with them all night and the morning found them out of danger. In all his practice he says he has never seen worse cases of poisoning oven from the bite of the rattlesnake. The bees that made the attack hod been feeding on the ripe figs in the garden. They are different from the ordinary honey bee, having white heads and golden backs. The strong nerve and motherly devotion of Mrs. Bellinger certainly saved the lives of her children.?Jinrnwell JPtoyle.
