VOL. XXI11. u'rL , .IONTII NEWBERRY, S. C, WEDNESD)AY, AU1IS'l' 2.5, 1 88u. iin~it i~ O of Flilnt antI Steel-Persona l WIhI tlons Ulndisturbe<d. T1he columns of the Chronicle have givenl in full the accounts of the great trial of Dr. ,James Woodrow. This is the first formal arraignment of the Doctor in ia court of the church authorized to try his case, :. though his peculiar teaehings have been reviewed and criticised in every assemblage of this deiiomin:atio2n. He has been cleared of the charge of heresy, and escapes even the ad mo Ilition which was the mildest, foru of punishinent he could have received, and which, I believe, would have been the penalty selected b y the p)rosecution. The case will b e t aken, On - complaint., before the (Geurgi: Synod, which meets at Sparta in November, and as this 114). v has been against Dr. Wood row, the verdict of the lower court may be annulled. But annllime. a ver dict of not guilty does not est.ah lish a verdict of guilty, am : a n11w trial before the Presb yterv con! have but one termination. S nluieu. then, for )r. W1'oodro's ecch-sit >,i cal character. 'T'hree of the f,m-' Synods controlling the 'Theolo':i Seminary in Columbia may aml proh ably will vote to turn l)r. W1'oodlrow out of, the facility i-1 accordalcLe with the recommendation of' the (; enieral Assembly. That of cours,' will sever his connection with this institultion. )r. WVoodrow's point was that. lie could not a1ffor'd to resign u1nder fire, and that as ie has been cleared of' teaching error b)y the eonrt halvin jurisdiction, lie will renainl until lie is removed by the I'ortnal orler o f' the Synod. As l)r. Woo-irow has two larg,e publications in Colunlbia, :id as he Occupies the chair of' Natural Science in the South Carolina C(ollege, he will remain in Coilumbii. t. ill events. The features of the tri:c were 1i! of interest. The t.wo p)er"-on)s pittedi against each otier were p)romninen1t men. )r. Adams, of Atu usta, con ducted the prosecution in, al spirit of candor, courage aiid hig h ability-. His argument was said by I ). G ir:G (leal to have heenl the 1)051 m1aster. ly presentation of' that sid'i of the qIuestioin that, has yet, been ma:de. I saw no evidence of malice of intol. erance. It was the clen work of a man who did his duty in the iost. direct way, and did it w<Il. It was not an enviable position-that of prosecutor. It was a contest with )r. Woodrow in his own field, amnong his old friends. No mitan knows b' - ter than Dr. Woodrow what Ie does believe, and no man marshals his proofs so completely. It. is hard to fasten error or to impnte heresy" here. )r. Woodrow says he believes the -body of a maln was f'ormu,el b' sue cessive steps through su,lc'eed in stages of lower aninal life. The objectors say he does not givye full credit to God. 1)r, Voodrow Says the w r'eoiz S I beginninig to end.

S"tme of the oh .i.ct.; of appr1] CHAPPELLS. -I)eatr Mr. Edlitor : Thinking you would i like to hear from our part of the county, I write you upon that which is likely to l' bie the most interesting topic, viz: the erops in which we are all equally inter ' ested, for Ottt of the ground comes all our living. - The crops have improved wonderfully I within the past few weeks, so much so that even the most despondent farmers acknowledge that there is a chance yet for an average flue crop of cotton. The corn crop on the river bottoms, as y0ou are aware, has beet subject to repeated freshets, antid is comparatively a loss. We male no oats ani sorry wheat so that our provision crops atre short. lit spite of hardi t ihes and scarcity we manage to keep up some social inter course, and pienuics and barbecues have had their usual patronage fron young :1d old. One of the social events of the past week has been the arrival in our neigh borhoo of our friend and former physi cian, Col. T. G. White, whom we prefer to call andt reinember as I)r. White, now of Beaufort. Iis presence anmong ius, antd in the vicinity of his old home. was the signal for a regular ovation to him from his former neighbors and friends, both black and wihite, most of whomu hal been his pa tieits when ie practiced medicine from his plaital ion at Island Ford, in this County. The )octor was on his way up the cotntry bitt was fairly capturect and inuced to stay over among us and such at tention was shown hin as is seldom . given to any but a prodigal son. After an absence of nine or ten years, during which time "the boys" had not seen him, he is visiting the families of somte of the mnca who were mnember's of his company diring the war. Some call him Doctor antid others call him Lieutenant, but all agree that lie has not grown older in ap pearance, anti is the same kind, genial friend and comrade that made him a favorite officer in the war, and a valued friend and ritizen after It was over. Ile iowic"i, von know, owned the valuable and extenlsive plattatiotn at Island Ford oil the Saluda, but afterwards sold it and remove<l to his fol imer residence ott the coast.. The 1)octor gives ple+asant accounts of the improving cotlditiot of the low count try since 187, and while we hope lhe is " lprsperous, we hope he has the same happy remenmiberanees of our section wlhich is entertained for him. Many of I his old comrales in atms have, since the war. retiret troops of sons who would be li:11ble to military (ity in ease of a for eigi wrar, and shoul a war break out. withI Mexico, the Colonel, if lie wanted to raise a regiment, would he: apt to colmi tence recruiting atmong the sons of fathers whose Contith..iec aiI affection he won with the parents. most of whom in this neighborhood composed, his con preiy in the late war. i'olit ics are (hlll, with the exception of the Interest taken in the approaching Congressional nomination, in proportion as our frienid Capt. J. N. Lipscomb or ),Mr. George Johnstonle happeis to be the favorite of either wing of our Democracy. Col. White, in allusion to the candidacy of either of the candidates has declined exert.ing any influencec upon any of his friends. IIe said Capt. Lipscomb had lice ii Is neighbor and friend on Saluda for many years and was entitled to any honor thhat his ability, faithfulness and patriotisim could secure.
