They were stolen and restolon by tbe Radi cals, and It was hoped by all good Democrats that tho action of the last Legislature, directing Commissioner Colt to examine and fund them at half their face value would put them at rest forever. * Upon tbe recommendation of promi nent citizens Col. Colt employed Al exander Laugblin as an expert to ex amine and cancel the bills, but it was discovered some days ago that a large amount bid been abstracted from the scaled packages and resold. Lnughltn has been committed to jail In default of 150,000 hall. The Democratic party Is bound by the pledges of the past four years to do right, and It must see that no guilty man shall escape. Who ever siss Against honesty must pay tbe penalty. Col.

Htf needs to !<o constantly reminded af the responsi bility of ^s profession, of the errors into which he is liable to fall, and of the best means of avoiding them. Nothing tends more to encourage a teacher—to make him feci that Ins oc cupation is not (he lowest, that his aim is worthy of his most strenuous exer* lions.

Teachers, if you want to do your host, take soiuc soil conducted organ of your profession, and read it with a view of being benefitted. Your attention is earnestly called to the Southern Educational Monthly, an excellent teachers’ paper, published in Charleston, by Messrs. Walker, Evans k CAgswell. Tho subscription price is only fifty cents n year, and it is much more than worth the money. Here are n few extracts from it, which will give an idea of it* general tone : » KOM AN ARTICLE ON TACT.

Cash was practicing w ith bis pistol in the rani of Dr. Ix:e, who iiocoinpaniod him in the capacity of surgeon; yet not- witlutanding r.ll this publicity, no effort was made to intorm the theriff of the in tended uicciing. Col. Cash practiced fir ing paper wads at his sou until he was enabled to strike the sumo spot five or six time* in succession. He also went to the extent of sending invitations to sever al persons to come and see tho dud take place, which was actually witnessed by quite a number of men whose brutal in stincts were gratified to their fullest ex tent. Some of the number arc members of the church, yet tho religion of the Prince of Poacc had so little place jti their henrt* that they could witness that which was, both ia the sight of Heaven and according to the law of the Stale, murder. , These men, by their cold-blooded apdliy, have not only covered them selves with shame, but have brought re proach on the reputation of their State, and have plongc<I''a happy household into the depths of woe and despair. Tho affair was conducted according to the Code, and the regular duelling pis-JJ tols were used. Col. Cash’s son stood among the spectators, who were not al lowed to approach very closely, and watched the procoeniogs with an opera glass, and is said to have exprtfllcd great joy when Shannon fall. Such brutality sue ms almost too incredible for belief, but several men claim to have heard him make use of words to this ^|i^t. Col.

In that election. The writer,'himself a sol dier, addresses himself mainly to sol diers of the late war and feels assured they will understand and appreciate the justice of Mr. Creech’s clalma. At tbe sqmo time he appeals to a fair and impartial public to judge of the merits of his case, and If there Is no one in tho field who has greater claims upon .the people of Barnwell to remember Frank Creech when they elect their delegates or cast their primaries for county officers. Mr. Creech Is at least the equal in point of education and ability to fflf the office of any nian yet announced 1 . As a man of character be is the peetf of any man in the field or elsewhere, and for the very neees sary qualification of firmness and res olution Iris record beers him our. He has faithfuily discharged the duties of the office of County Commissioner- one of no profit and at great aacriflcw of his personal interests. Last b not least his career as a soldier la the in fantry branch of the service durluff the late war, in the hard fodght and bloody fields of Virginia and Tennes see challenges comparison with any than In the field. He enlisted with Hogood’s 1st South Carolina volunteer regiment in the year I8G1, and was with that command through all the memorable campaigns in which his regiment participated in Virginia and Tennessee. He served as a private during the entire ware, received a gun shot wound through tbe leg at Willes Valley, Tennessee, and at Fort Harri son, where Hays and Bellinger were killed and a Host of other gallant and true men, among them J. W. Rice and E W. Bchllog and -others received desperate wour.ds, F. H. Creech fell, as was supposed, mortally wounded from a gun shot'wound,shattering his right arm ard passing through his right lung, thereby entirely disabling him in the use of his arm so much so that be is now unable to support him self by manual labor, much lees the large nod dependent family on his hands. In the campaign of ’70, when our beloved Hampton was inaugarat- ed and Carolina redeemed, hw raised a company of sixty men And tendered them to the Governor lor the use of our State. It has been the universal custom In the State of Georgia to give such offices to competent dlsablsd soldiers, as an evidence of appreciation of such servic'/s In those trying times, and in submitting the claims of F. H. Creech, the writer cannot think the people of South Carolina are less patriotic. THK IfrlLDERSnHS, ILK. U' A D 17,7? 77 .s LMIXTS. Special Offer! A’/7B AD VERTISEUENTS.
