A gentleman at Ridgeway is eating
Irish potatoes now from eyes plant.,
ed last August for a fall crop. The
ground-was: so hard last fall they had
to wait for spring. But he has first
class potatoes now.
Never was a day, whether a na
tional or a State holiday, more gen
erally observed - all over the State
than was Thursday-the time ar
po'nted by Governor Hampton as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
The places of business all over the
State were closed as thoroughly as
if it had been Sunday. divine service
was hold in nearly all the churches,
and a general spirit of thankfulness
and gratitude seemed to pervade the
whole people.
As will be seen by reference to
our report of Legislativa proceed
ings, Prince Martin was admitted to
his seat in the House , on Friday
last. .We learn that the vote where-,
by ho was admitted was almost
unanimous. The ground taken by
the majority was that he had not
yet been 'convicted, of. bigamy, and
to eitlude him on ex parte test'..
mony would be to prejudge his case.
While we think it wouid 'have been
better to defer action, ydt we yield
willingly to the jdidgmen't of the
committee and the House--in whom
we haive every confidonce.. The
report of the committee, we would
remark, was upanimous.
The Augusta Chronicle and Con
stitutionalist of Friday says : "Mr.
Rogers, of the Georgia Central
Railroad ; Mr. Raoul, of the South
western ; Gen. Alexander, of th~e
'Western Railroad of Alabama ; Col.
Bridgers and Mr. A. Pope, of the
Atlantic Coast Line ; Captain De
'vine, of the Wilmington and Weldon
and Major Anderson, of the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, met at the office of the super
intendent of the Georgia Railroad
yesterday for the purpose of making
arrangements for a fastcr schedule
between New York and New Or.
leans. It is proposed to reduce the
time four hours,the trains arriving in
New York and New Orleans at
seven o'clock in the morning. The
train from the north wvill reach
Augusta at four a. m. under this
schedule."

IrDGEWAY, May 26.--As you gave
space in the columns of your paper
for my last communication I will
send you a few "dottings" from our
town to-day.
Thanksgiving Day was strictly ob
served by the citizens all stores
and public places were closed and all
regular business was suspended. A
large congregation assembled at the
Methodist church, where the Rev.
Mr. Munnerlyn held appropriate
services, and delivered an impres
sive sermom fronm the 14th chapter
of John. In the afternooni the
Hampton Rifle Guard exercised
in the squad drill. At night, the
Methodist church was lighted up
for hymeneal purposes. Mr. Keller
Morrison, of North Carolinas, was
united in the holy bands of matri.,
mony by* -1ev. Mr. Munnerlyn, to
Miss Mattie, (daughter of Mr. E W.
Ollever of this place. After receiv%
ing ihe anngr~tatih. of frinds1
the bride and groom with the im,
mediate relatives and friends of the
parties repaired to the residence of
the bride's father for the marriage
festivities. Long may they live, and
may the fullest measure of happiness
and prosperity be meted out in the
future to the happy couple.
All day Thursday the beaming
countenances of our people wore
indices of the fullest realization of
the redemption of our State, and a
determination, by observing the
day, to gratefully acknowledge the
pre-eminent services rendered by
Gov. Wade Hampton in accomplish.
ing it.
Friday morning was ushered in
by "Boreas rushing on his wintry
wings" from the nor'-east, breathing
dark and threatening clouds, and the
presence of the wind god from his
"nor'east rocky .eaves" made fires
necessary for us sublunary crea
tures. A number of the young .men
of the place had agreed to indulge
in piscatory enjoyment, and not
daunted by the wind or weather,
they walked to a pond four miles off
and drained it. After much ex
ercise and pleasure, the declining
sun admonished them to "homeward
wend their weary way." Hotch
potch had been made of the fish
caught, and upon their arrival at
Ridgeway it was agreed to make a
"fair divide" of the victims of their
day's sport. Each of the disciples
of Isaac Walton got from fifty to one
hundred fish, but as the fish varied
in size, it was determined to make
the apportionment by weight, and
the pro rata share of each accurately
told was exactly seven ounces. A
party, however, returning to the
pond to-day, caught over a bushel of
the finny tribe.
Last night an intellectu al and
pleasant entertainment was given by
the pupils of Mrs. Simmons. The
school-room was filled with ladies
and gentlemen, and for two hours
the audience were delightfully enter
tained. Where all did so well, it is.
hard to diseriminate,but I cannot omit
mentioning the compositions. The
treatment of the subject matter
was good, the style beautiful, and
the reading excellent. The tab
leaux were as good as the best I
have ever seen, and the dialogue,
"The Fountainof Oblivion"-(if I
may so speak ; it was more a recitas
tive tdbleau virant than a dialogue,)
was quite attractive. We were sur
prised to hear that the participants
had only one week's training and
cane to the conclusion, that Mrs.
Simmons has as much taste and
talent in the arrangement and tact
in the management of affairs on
suchucasiQns as succesq in teach
ing the young idea how to shoot.
We all anticipate a delightful time
on next Tuesday night, the time
appointed by the ladies of Ridge
way and its environs to have a
Hot Supper to aid the Hampton
Rifle Guard, of Ridgeway. A good
thmg you may be sure it will be.
