Roorks. 1?_ Refreshments at the Valmetto. y Thomas McCJottigan, of the old reliable Palmetto Snloon, invites his manj friends to give him a call during Conrl week. The Palmetto Saloon is well storked with first-class refreshments. V ,A ' 1 ' ' ' . ; < ' "(io S1?w." s "Man's a-vapor, full of wops, He cuts a caper, and down he goes." Well, we arc taught that there is a time for all things, except acting the fool. There is no time given a man to act the fool. Here 1 will try to tell my experience in oi;e case. 1 made a bold start, and did not have far to go, and 1 acted the fool tolerably well for several months. 1 was seventeen years old, six feet high, weighed one hundred and fifty pounds, somewhat slabsided, and looked more like a man than anything '.hat ever was seen, not to be a man. I saw a great many wearing fine clothes, ^oots and iine hats, chewing tobacco and smoking cigars. They appeared to be very smart and popular with the ladies, so 1 thought that constituted a perfect gentleman, and 1 determined to g<i into the current of fashion nnd popularity. I went to work and made a hale ol cotton, sold it, and olT I went to a dry goods store and bought u suit of fine clothes, a big bell-crowned bee gum hat, gloves, riding switch, boots, a box ol paper collars, hair grease, cigars, umbrella, and a vial of musk to make iiu smell sweet. 1 had my hair shingled, and 1 had taken a kind of second growth Slv unner Iiu had produced a thick coal of hair, called moustachc. I spent gooc deal of my time rubbing my moustuclu with the end of my fingers, and on oiu of my fingers I stuck a big brass ring Now I thought [ was rigged up a perfect gentleman, l'oor fool, ignorant o pride and fashion being- a contagion.' disease, and 1 was almost on the lif with it and not aware of it. The sarm disease is still raging, hut I found u curt for it. I rode a tall horse, and frequent ly the brush would rake my hat oil'. 1 would hit the ground, bounce nroun< and roll like an'empty churn. All righ as 1 was in the fashion. 1 would rig u] of a Sunday, Rtand iji the sunshine ant lopk Cn.s<Ttt8rsa?f make a truct, and' look what it nice trad my boot would make. I imagined my self a norfoct honutv. nnrl imni'inoil ?hn ? 'V -? O if I could get to rub my back against j college wail and take a trip out west, . would bo capable of holding any oflici in the government. 1 would rig up an< go to singing-school, walk in the house and 1113* boots would squeak like tin rusty hinges of a barn door. Sometimes t would walk so straight that ] would lean over, and I would try t( walk the Grecian walk, nnd carry m^ umbrella over me in sunshine anc shade. All right, as I was in the fash ion. I would seat myself in singinj: school, cross my feet and rub my inous tache with the finger that had the rinj on. I would try to walk, talk and laugh like some other fool that Ejhought wai acting smart. 1 would carry a cigar t< church and sot one end of it a fire, sticl the other end in my mouth, and slam where I could be seen, and hold th< cigar with the hand that had the rim on; so there was a cigar with * some fir* on one end and a fool on the other end So I trollopped around for sevcra months just in that fix, a poor simple ton. I had not thought of n blow-up or stove-up, or explosion, so one Sun day morning in August. I rigged up and went to church. The church-housc was a new pine log cabin, the <loor-heac very low. So on I went, Jehu-like rode up und alighted, walked up witl an elastic step, made a spring in th( door, and the top of my beegum jusi plumbed the door-head and drove i! down to my shoulders. I had one fool back and staggered around tho corner o! the house,' and began to feel fori mj head. I was considerably stunned, and in the dark. I took hold of the brim of my hat on each side with my hands, juu began pushing up with all my strength and setting back determined to pull out. for I was in a fix and something had tc be done quick. Directly I began tc emerge from darkness to light, and with all iny strength Qnd awkwardness, I succeeded in pulling out without help, The leather linning of my hat pulled out, and it resembled a churn with the brim around the middle. My cars and nose burned aft if they had been scalded; perspiration flowed in great drops, and in the scuffle I stagered against the pine wall, and got pine rosin all ovei my fine coat. It was stuck up, stuck down, and twisted and bungled about so that it resembled somo dressing thai we see now-a-days. I came near suffocating, and when I got a good long breath, I turned about, walked slowly to my horse, and crawled upon the outside of him and rode slowly home, and ' . { 1 . . I'" ' . :; 1-,-i > ; ' . i , /: . <:.v?fe^3afti6SB56 jftfraiiKlf was glad I had a homo to go to. liy the time I got home, I had quieted down and began to come to my propel senses, and when I considered the matter all over, I found that the stove-uj , was a good lesson to me, though a verv costly one. I was enlightened on the folly of pride and fashion. I could sec plain what a fool I had been. I wenl , to tho looking-glass and took a gooc look at myself, and I was as much dis^ gusted as I had been delighted. I took m) knife and cut my hat in two in the mid ; die, and slipped the upper half dowr over the low?:r half and made a tolera bly respectable bat, and I have beer , careful ever since to go slow, and tak< my bat off when I come to a churcl door. Perhaps if we bad a low churcl door in this country some young men 01 bi? bojrs might learn a good lesson as dfd. Experience teaches a dear school * but fools will not learn in any other. mil ? ?41* /* !! O .* i iiir nuni ii vid uiitiu nou. ( Chkstkk, October 21.?Chester i: r overflowing wit!* Presdyterian preacheri . and laymen. To-night an immense con . gregation, composed of members of tin ( synod and the various denominations o , the town, assembled at the Presbyterian t church to hear the opening sermon tr [ tlve retiring Moderator, lie v.

What the Matter is. The devil seems to have broke loose somehow in this State ami there is an endless array of horrors of various T. > xinds to shame lis. The nearest first g r cause to which we can describe all our s ! troubles is the tendency of the people tl to be their own judges of right and a t wrong. They reverse the decisions of t! I the Supreme Court and ingnore the o acis of the Legislature 111 the futherance h 1 of what may appear substantial justice, c The strangest element in the trouble in 1! i the trouble is the readiness with which tl those who d -?fy the law when it seems 1 i to them inadequate or unjust, submit to p J it regardless of its harshness when they y > believe it to be right. The men who a i who rode into hdgellcld village and a i' seized and killed Culhreath submitted u I to arrest and imprisonment without u|c , murmur. The sheriff single handed c took them to jail by the scorc. o It used to be the same way in radical s times. We have seen a miserable, p s starved looking tramp of a duty mar- t 5 shal humbly walking about in middle t - Carolina leaving warrants at uun's c 2 houses as a collector leaves bills c f ..nil " ' ' - ?..x? in^ uuiuru nit; commis- 1 1 sioner with % string of thirty or forty s v young dare devils ns his prisoners. v c any one of whom could have broken, a o him in two and chewed him up. c u There is 110 use in attempting- bo- h r change the character of tiho average a 2 faonth (liirulininn. 111? will nlirm^ ? ??. ; tl main the independent self governing c person he is. The ouly remedy for. all c n our troubles now visible is to. make the ' t? law anil its execution more worthy, of ij - the respect ancl confidence of the peo- \ d pie.

T - 8 Just across tho Savannah lliver at I Wutkins' Landing in Abbeville County. | South Carolina, there lives a gentleman as unique in character and as noted as any man in these parts. He is of the P wealthiest of tho Carolinians, owning r his cattle upon a thousand of hills. In life h? is single and retired. Few there are who know him?tins man of culture . intellect and eccentricity of habit. In person he is ta.ll and straight as an Indian, with locks white as snow and g cheeks glowing with tho lire of youth. He has attained the remarkable age of ,t about 00 years, yet his step is as elastic g as a man of forty. We refer to Col. James Kdward Calhoun. For his re-1 makable age and strength may be attri I . q bated his inherited vitality ftnd his . abstemious habits, but for another mat* f ter which we will relate let our readers ( H * I j attribute as they please. j. Not many da}'s ago an intimate friend n of his?and, by the way, an esteemed . acquuintance of ours?was in town r g making purchases of a suspicious nature. j It did not take us long to ascertain that ^ he was buying a matrimonial outfit for nono other than James Edward Cal; c houn. About the first of December he c is to lead to the altar a fair widow ^ whose name and age is unknown to us, but upon whom rcsfs a well founded _ b suspicion that sho is up in the fifties t j and lives just across the river on tho j, Georgia side of the majcstic Savannah. t j ?FAbertoa (Get.)

Rtcliland" in Augusta Chronicle.] The members of the South Carolina legislature in the olden days bad a very ood way of giving nn account of their te ward ship to their constituents. At lie close of every session they printed report containing in brief the work of lie legislative session. One of these Id documents has been presented to me y a friend. It was addressed to the j itixeiiK of Barnwell District by Hon. E. iclliuger, then a Representative from hat district. It is dated December 25, 835), and gives the elections and apointments made at the session for that ear for Slate And County officers, the cts ratified, important resolutions dopted or rejected> and various other tAlln.n : u:_t. x\- T?
