Keller was in Abbeville yesterday. Squire Keller is eighty one 1 4 years old, and has been a magistrate for forty-five years, and never hud but one appeal from his decisions. If there is one business in Abbevilh, in which more than any other, competition is needed, it is . that of ITnderti-aing. The charges made in this line are perfectly outrageous, and under the ! oircumsrance we cannot help ourselves. Col. M. 11. McSweeney of ihe ilainp- ! ton president of the Stale : l'ress Association, lias done us the lienor to appoint us a delegate to tin? International Kditorial Association of America. We would bo pleased to go if it were possible. Mr. \\\ A. Moon?, of Cokesbury, one of the most intelligent and successful .farmers in Abbeville County, has a fritter in this week's M kskkxcki:, on Mr. t Tillman's call for a farmers convention. Mr. Moore is in favor of it, and thinks great good will result therefrom il properly conducted. Mr. Gaines of tho Chroniclc, and Mr. Taylor of the JVch?# and Courier were ^ in town last week giving our people the opportunity to subscribe to the two host dailies in the Xmitlx rn Stiito*. \Tr Taylor is still hero and will be glad to take and renew subscriptions to the .iVe/tw and Courier. Mr. G. B. Lythgoe, who has been foreman of the Mksknuku olHce since its publication here, is now devoting himself entirely to the study of short hand. Mr. Lythgoe is a capital printer, and wo hated to give him up. If perseverence and close attention will accomplish anything, we predict that Mr. Lythgoe will soon master stenography, for he has these qualitiep. We wish him much success. Secretary of State Lipscomb has been at some pains to disprove the slanderous statement made in Appleton's Encyclopedia (page 770) that the use of "Yankee Doodle" was interdicted by the Legislature of South Carolina in 1861. The testimony of Judjres Simpson and McOowan. of the Supreme Court, of Stato Treasurer Itichardsou anil other promii.out men is prodveed on our outHide to show the falseness of tne charge. Mess. It. \V. Simpson, J. R. Moore mid II. O. Scudday came dow.i yesterday from Anderson to argue a motion befoav Judge Witherspoon in chambers. The motion is for the issuing of a writ of mandamus to compel the town council of IVndir.ton to grant a license to a certain perron whr.se name we have not heir'!, tM sell liquor in that town. Mr. Scudday ippears for the motion and Messrs. .Simpson and Moore against it. This seems to us to be a r.iverKe of the . position these gentlemen haws occupied on the prohibition question. lMie West Dots. The cold wave struck us on Friday.

For teach- J ers acid pupils these quotations are littingly appropriate. Mr. Hodges is exerting his bes*. efforts in behalf of pupils and teachers. Public opinion about here was very generally in favor of changing the trial of Ferguson to another county. It was beleiveil that one trial in another conn- | ty would either acquit or convict liiin | and that by this step a result would be | reached in shorter time and that with- ! out prejudice to either side: The gold bracelets which were presented to the missionary society by i some lady from a distance ic.li/.ed for ; the socicty about $60. Uy a resolution | of the society they were then returned to the donor. At the last meeting Hev. \Y. L. Pressly, iho chairman of committee stated that he had recieved a nice letter in reply, stating that '*1 certainly never expected to see them again." They were her mother's. The giver expressed gratitude if they had j been the means of doing any good. On last Monday night l'rof. Miller j ; gave his annual Lecture. We have 1 ; heard it highly spoken of.

On last Sunday your correspondent had the pleasure of taking a llying trip over the Greenwood, Laurens & Spartanburg U. II.,.to tli'.j beautiful town o! Waterloo, lirst station in our sister count)' Laurencc. The lirst station reached on our journey was Bra.llev. which was mimed after (Jen. l\ II. 11 nullify. til.? founder and builder of the .-V. & K. division of this road. It was by his diligence and perseverenee that the road was pushed forward to a speedy completion and his name has been >6 linked with the building of this road it will be handed down to many g< iterations to come. Yerdory, the next station. is a thriving place, situated in a fine farming country and bids fair in the near future to be a town of great importance. Greenwood which might be termed a railroad center, is a beautiful town, situated in the centre of a line farming section. Its religious and educational advantages cannot be surpassed by any town in the up. country. The number of beautiful new residences and the beautiful new depot of the A. ?& K. II. R. is enough of themselves to show the prosperity and enterprise of the II. II. and aiso the people of Green wood. Among the many busines ii >usess we notice particularly those of .1. K. Durst iv* Go., .1. T. Simmons, and .J. \V. Payne, who occupy the handsome brick store rooms, elected last summer by .i. K. Durst & Co. Mr. T. K. Uiley certainly deserves the hearty applause of the citizens of Greenwood for the beatiful hotel, which stands on Maine Street, justin front of the depot. Alter leaving Greeenwood, we passed through a very line farming country, and we could see progress written in large letters u\ei nit ill jiuu>u iumm. i in; iiiai9 and last station in Abbeville County, alter leaving Greenwood is Coronaea, a beautiful little town, which has sprung up in the last six months. It lias three nice store rooms. One is used lor a drug store, and the others for general merchandise, and also a splendid depot, which was laden with the fleecy staple. We predict lor Coronaca a grand and glorious lenture. The conductor gave the signal "all aboard'' and we wen? soon s?peeking at a rapid rate and soon reached our destination. We were met at the depot by our genial friend and former townsman, Air. L. li. i Whatley, who did all in his power to entertain me, and we must say he succeeded admirably. Mr. Whatley moved | to Waterloo about one year ago and engaged in the mercantile business and has made a grand success. Air. Whatley having sold his sold his stock j of goods to Air. .Kronen bergcr of Charleston. S. C., has accepted a position with K. T. liroivn iS: Co., of Charleston. S. G., as a travelling salesman. Waterloo has a population of about two hundred, eigdt or ten nice store houses, hotel ami a Methodist church. The Presbyterians and Baptists are making necessaary arrangements to build at once. We feei confident that Waterloo will in the near future future rival her sister towns in the way of mercantile progress. On our return home we had the pleasure of meeting at Greenwood a number of our citizens, who had been rif lonfiimr tlw? I7iiin?i nuiotiiuf %?t tli.it "lv v" ?v.<.ni<o ??/ point tui Saturday and Sunday. Mouk Anon. Southern Goncruls. Most of the visitor* to the House of Representatives notice on the Democratic side of ilie chamber a little in the rear of the center, a small man with a very full bjard that allows a decided tendency to become white, and when they ask who he is are told thai it is tieneral Wheeler of Alabama. This gentleman attained the highest rank ever conferred upon one of his age upon this hemisphere, for he was commissioned a Lieutenant tieneral in the Confederate arm v when he was but twenty-eight pears of age, and by far the youngest officer ot his rank iv.t known to either army or navy on the North Amencau continent, and younger than any general officer who has Ik Id an equivalent command on the continent of Europe in our time, except in the case of one royal prince in the house of Hunsbur#. There were twenty two Lieuteuant Generals in theOonfederate army from beginning to eml. General Lmiirstreet was the senior wuen the war closed, and General HI well was next. Of the twenty two there are still living Longstreet, Hampton, K. lvirby Smith, Wheeler, A. 1J* Stewart, 1). II. Hill, and 13uckner. Of the live full Generals made late in 1.S6I none remain but Generals Jhonstou (J. 1?.), and Beauregard. The latter was the first general officer ever nominated and commissioned under tiie Confederae government, and should have been its Senior General Officer under theordi-' nary military usages but the act creating the military establishment of the CoutYderate States provided that oCiccrs from the United States army who might accept Confederate commissions should take rank according to the grade.- they held in the United States ariny when their resignations were accepted. This made General Cooper, who was Adjutant General of the United States army when he resigned, the Senior General Officer of the Confederacy, and placed General Leo (who only became a full colonel itb >ut three months before his resignation) and General Beauregard (who was a Major of Eojrineers when lie went South) at the bottom of the list. General Beauregard took the ground that he was the tirst itrigadier General the Confederate States ever commissioned, and was holding that position when at ! ?* -*t one of the otHeers promoted over his bead was yet in the United Staes army, and he should have been the Senior General. And the persistence with which he unavailing!}* insisted upon what ho believed was his by right induced the tirst difference of opinion. which soon grew into a breach that was irreconcilable, between him and Mr. Davis. When General Whocltr attained the rank of Lieutenant General he was just the same age as Napoleon lion apart e was when he took commund of tho army of Italy and commenced a career thrt for brilliancy is nneqnaled Id tbe world's history.
