Tbe bills of tbe Bank of tbo State
neems to be aecureed. They will not
down at Legislative bidding. 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. Colt, like Caesar’s
wife, Is above suspicion, and from our
personal knowledge of his purity as a
man and his capacity and devotion as
an official, we are alow to charge offi
cial carelessness to him. More here-

Nothing tends more to encourage a

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

"Ilow many peopls fad in life fur the
want of knowing how to put the heat

receives in childhood and in the school

the formation of cha-seter and ancecas. in

Mr.rtixo or sdmtkr teacher*.
“There is not a sufficient ambiiftfnf
anion among our teach r*. They should

each one gatheriag information from the

me a challenge on June 27. Arrangc-

several hour^during the morning Col.
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.
Shannon was also accompanied by his
son and son in-law, the latter of whom
acted as his itcond.

)’ Mr. Eomm: The friends ot F. H.
Creech< E*q:, have presented bin name
lo jthe voters of Barnwell county as a
suitable person to fill the office of
Sheriff, and it is the object of this com
munication to present tho clalma of
Mr. Creech bpoo the people of Barn
well county for their suffrages. 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.

Editor Tit />>/>’<;
For stuue time Post 1 hive hoard
various false rcponhn-comi« g from the
neighborhood in which I lived, con-
ceroiog my health, trial m»-nt, Ac., and
lost week two rumors were current,
one that 1 was dead, tho other that
my kg had "rotted” t IT from the con
stant wear of a chain. I am closely
confined, it ia true, but I receive, and
always have, |hy> kindest treatment
from the Sheriff and his jailor, and I
venture to say that few men, as closely
imprisoned as I am, would enjoy as
good health as I do. This, of course,
is attributable to tbescrupulous clean-
liocss of the building and wholesome
food. The law is strictly and carefully
complied with as regards the > afe
keeping of prisoners confined in this
jail,~but I am satisfied tbat every
comfort and privilege allowed by law
Is granted me by the officers having mo
iu charge, and however small these
comforts may seem I appreciate them,
as I have tho higest regard for men
who, knowing their duty, dare per
form it. * Capers A. Bowers.

General Hagood Is a modest man, and
sure to capture tho good will and good
grace of all with whom he comes in
contact. We were glad of the oppor
tunity to know him personally.
Aiken—Forty candidates, more or
less, have deserted their fields and
families, and gone to canvassing tbe
county. Some planters have been un
able to do a square day’s work in a
mo.nth because of such vislti
office seekfers. So much for the pri
