Rabb, Sr. Fresh Milk can be had every day in any quantity desired at_J. W. MaCreight's. Two negroes charged with having been concerned in the burning of Mr. T. W. Rabb's gin -house, have have been lodged in jail. The evi donce against them is said to be con clusive. We trust they will receive their just deserts. The Borger Family Troupe, pursu ant to previous announcement, gave an entertainment at the Thespian Hall on Saturday night. The an dience was a large one, the hall being crowded. The performance was in every particular a very fine one, and several of the performners were loudly encored. We cannot give particulars, but must content ourselves with saying that it was in all respects a fine entertainment. We trust this troupe will soon visit us again. ILLUSTRATION 13Y IIcTUREs.-One of the great contrasts between the School books used by the fathers and mothers of the land, when young, and those now used by the children, is the use of pittures. As a curious instance of ilhistrating the meaning of words by p'ctures, look at the three picturcs of a Ship on page 1751 of Webster's Una bridged Dictionary,-thesc alone illustrate the meaning of more than one hundred words and terms far better than they can be defined by any description in words. * THE "STAR SER iVICE." How to Secure Incrnased Mail Facili ties in Fairfield. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, in a letter to a citizen of this place, concludes with the following very useful suggestions to our people concerning increased mail facilities. He says: Let me call your attention to a matter of interest to your p)eople. In November last, $500,000 wvere appropriated to extend tihe "Star Service," which means the carrying of mails on horseback, once, twice, and thrice a week. Nowv, I am sure the mail facilities of South Carolina need increasing in every county in the State. Howv aro~ the people of Jackson's Creek, Buck. Head, Rocky Mount, Pea Ridge, Long Town, Horeb, &c., &c. off for mails ? Do they have to go all the way to Winnsboro ? Or do they have weekly horse mails ? Of thle latter, they can, without legislation, be in creased to semi-weekly mails ; if semni-weekly, they can be increased to tri-weekly, if full petitions are signed and forwvar dcd to vonr repro sentaitive, Colonel Evins, The De partment cannot make a now route, or establish any mail line unless by special law, but where a route exists, they can change tile schedlule or in crease the service without legisla tion, and it was for these purposes that Congress appropriated that *500,000 in November last. I only throw out these hints that our ig - norant, backwvard people may be induced to thinkc of and demand their rights. The New England States average 4} mails per week through the Star Service. South Carolina averages barely 1}- por1 week. "That's the wvay our money goes," &o. Yours very truly, D. WYATT AIKEN. SOUTh O AR OLINA NE WVS. Work is rapidly progressing on the Oheraw and Chester railroad. T o Abbeville Medium has shown ver bitter hostility to the State Uni reity. T e abolition of the lien law is havi a depressing effect in Marion count. The e are now one hundred and flye p1 p1ls attending tIre okie grade school. has been appointed brigadior-genor al of the first brigado of cavalry. The kitchon and nioss-hiall of the Sumter Instituto wore burned last wook. They were only partially meni-d. Gen. A. C. Garlington, formerly of Newborry, and more recently of Atlanta, Ga., has located in Green ville. From accounts in the newspapers, it appears that the people all over the State are taking more than usual interest in the public schools, The annual meeting of the State Grange will be held in Columbia this year instead of Charleston, commencing February 5. Two new military companies, one of infantry and the other of cavalry, have recently been organized in Anderson county. While holding court at Chester week before last, Judge Mackey dismissed a batch of bailiffs because they did not arrest a court-houso full of men for laughing. The Democratic Executive Com mittee of Anderson county, at a recent meeting, rbcommended the different clubs in the county to adopt the plan of primary elections for nominating party candidates. The ticket-offico of the Wilming. ton, Columbia and Augusta Rail road Company, at Stunter, was broken into last week, and the tick(t-box, with the contents, was carried off. P-ter Cooper, of New York, has expressel a deterinaintion to pur chase Limestone Springs, near Spartanburg, for the purpose of Cstablishing an institute similar to the Cooper Institute of Now York. Since the 21st of December near ly one hundred colored persons, in cluding about tweity families, have sold their possessionu and left Lancaster county, with the view of going to Liberia. A serious diflicuty occurred at Aiken 1.st week. Odumn Kennedy, Lewis Moore and Jim Slator, all colored, who were at a frolic, got into a melec, when Slater drew a large pistol and shot Kennedy in the back, killing him instantly. Slater made hi. escape, but Moore was captured and lodged in jail. The assurance is positively given at the Charleston office of the Liberian Exodus Association that n. ship has been purelmsed for the triansportation of the Omigrants, and will be at that port in the next ten days or two weeks. Supplies of provisions, &c., for tho voyage ire daily being received, and the establishment is continually crowd ed with the voyager expectant. The old mill known as "Plowden's Mill," on "Tearboat Creek," was dostroyed by fire a few nights ago. The mill was owned by Mr. Lemuel Barfield. The burning was not accidental, as no fire had been used near the imilIl for some time before its loss. On the next night the flood-gates were broken to pieces by unknown parties, and the water in the p)ond let of. The seed of fou'teen 01' fifteen hales of cotton was lost. No clue, as yet, to the incendiaries. A wit woman by the name of Prudence E. Tillotson, living near Darlington C. K., was burned to death on last 'Wednesday night under very peculiar circumstances She lived alone in a little house about four miles fr'om town. She had b)een asleep, and on awvaking fonnd the house and her clothing on fire. She ran to a neighbor's, not far distant, but was so badly burned w~hien she recached there that she was unable to give any intlligis. ble account of the affair. The Chia: ston Legislative dele gation, acting as a special commit tee, have agreed to the hill dividing Charleston and Coleoton counties into four election and judicial. dis-* tricts, to be called Old Charleston, Berkley, Edisto and Colleton. The line is to be run from thme conflu ence of the branches of the Cooper River to Saltkehatchie bridge. Old Charleston will embrace St. Philip's and St. Michael's, Christ Church, St. Thomas and St. Dennis, St. James Santeo, and James Island ; and wilhl I. iv one senator and eleven nmember's.
