Alclegratn to the "News and Courier" from Orangeburg reports tho killing of a soldier belonging to the garrison; by a Capt Gallaber, on the 2d. This is a cruel hoax on our friends, and a vile slander on our town. Wo have no gar rison fortunately at this place. DEATH OF HON. J. L. OPR. The subject of this melancholy notice died on the 5th, at St. Petersburg, Rus sia, where he had been sent to represent the United States Government. The de cided abilities of this prominent leader, whether as tho champion of Southern rights, or tho supporter of a Northern tyranny, are too familiar for rehearsal here. His career is closed and over tho acts of his life, we cast the veil with out comment. THE ROAD TO PERDITION. Is paved with good resolutions, and South Carolina financially reviewed, is bolting toward that goal at railroad speed. Tho radical defenso in covering its shame said, the white poople of the State were willfully blind to the light of reason, and deaf to the argument of stub born facts, evolved from an irrcsistnble force of progressive Liberty. Prccon viewed notions, and wounded pride were contesting against enlarged views, which sooner or later would overwhelm all op position, and convert the fiercest enemies to a friendly recognition. Such sophis try pleased the car of the world, and the new departure was hailed as the political martyr. A very brief review will bring us to the conclusion, (if any are mad enough to defend the policy of the ene mies of honesty and peace) that the rot tencst hulk, with the most drunken pilot; is nB much entitled to confidence, as is tbis dynasty of perjured, faithless and soulless government. Its promises arc as voluminous, as its villainies arc glaring. The first breach of faith began with the birth of tbe party in the State. Thanks be to God, the conception was elsewhere ; Pestilence when brought upon some un toward wind is dread, but when the at mosphere is purged, the cause for danger is removed. Tbis is our only hope, that this distinct, peculiar, and wholly segre gated plague may die out for want of food (money). Stop that supply, and the scourge vanishes. A desire "to re deem the honor of the State, and educate her citizens," induced these philanthro pists to rate an assessment, and afterward increase it three fold, after a plan of stealage called "Equalization." The tax was paid, and Mantalini picked up the gold and silver, and tho deficiency went into the "sinking fund." Military bills to show up the many lined "hero of Fort Sumtcr," were created, and tho appropri ation for til esc, went in the wake of the precedents. "Land purchasing bureaus" robbed the State of hundreds of thousands' and mado autocruts of beggars. The legislature was an auction hou tc, where every bill had its figures. State bonds were sdrreptitimirdy sold by the officers of the State at one half their face valuation to'.raise money for themselves. In a word, South Carolina, its property and all (except it.s eons who were, neither to be bought nor hoodwinked) was tossed into tho political hoppor, aud the meal wasqueitly taken as tell, while tho husk was left for tho owners. Now we have a liow tax to pay outstanding State debts, 'and a now call is made ihr logal talent to save us from robbery.' It may bo worth the attempt, but wo aro credulous;? Arguo to tho Sphynx, or preach, meta physics to a pump, and you will affect about as much, as attempting to influence a radical Court Supremo or otherwise, by talking about injustice, or debating questions Of eqhity. Adopt if it can be done 8?mo plan to check this flow of money into their pockets,"f and you will be as ireo of radical rulers in a month, as (Hibernia is said to be) Of snakes.. ** ' THE INDIAN POLICY. The hue and cry is extermination, for what; Is it that the life of the unfortu nate Gen. Canby is worth moro^than the entire race of Modocs, men, women aud children. If so; what has made tho ex istence of the Indian so contemptible, aud the value of a solitary white man so ap preciated. Gen. Sherman face to face with red Jack, unless backed by the steel wall which has always made him as bold as he has been cruel, may have set his teeth fast, ere ho had dared to speak tho .death knoll of the Indian race. . If prudence would have suggested this much for his personal safety, should not mercy have tempered his ire of justice. The act of the Indian Chief was base aud treacherous, but review tho base and treacherous, policy of the government which was represented in Gen. Canby, and say if the uncivilized American saw aught to admire, in the tinselled type of the civilized American. Tho worm will sting the foot that presses it, and red Jack counting the cost, made tho fearful issue. Back, back, before the steady tramp of "Westward ho" he fell, no hunting grounds for his living, no resting place for his dead. Enlighten ment to him was administered through the rum bottle; civilization taught. him that from behind a crevice of tho rock, he could hurl a bullet to the brain of his betrayer. His bounty was doled out in beads and poisoned whiskey, his soul wus preached to on one side by the missiona ry revealing an accountability, and on the other by a cunning trader who made the wild Indian, a wilder devil. Per plexed, deceived, and maddened, he was not won over, but sank deeper and deep er under tho influence of the tricky white man, and hurling the lio of defianco to his teeth, his wild heroism was aroused, and he slew both the innocent and the guilty. Better had the government measured a modicum of its Southern policy to the Indian, i. e. counting the inferior its protege,, then it might have been spared the disgrace of Sher man's vindictive howl, and at least have been consistent in its former dealings with its subjects. Here the rule is in hands' and hearts blacker than the In dians. There for party sake cruelty will ?be practised. Treat the Indian as a man and his savage breast will respond a kindly throb. Rob hint, and degrade him by putting his scanty subsistence in the hands of cormorant rumselling agents and you teach him that neither his, or the life of such tools of tho government is worth the sparing.

' BRILLIANT BAI.ii AT THE; CLOSE OF THE FESTIVAL II! ... What more appropriate time for our Annual Tournament than the glorious first of may ! What "place in Chris tendom better suited, in which to imitate tho gallant knights of old, and perpetu ate their deeds of chivalry, than our own beautiful town 1 What peoplo more fit ted to personate tho gallant heroes of history than the native South Carolinians who look with prido upon tho past-: achievements of their glorious Stute 1 The . first of May was indeed a gala day, long to be remembered, and the holiday was heartily enjoyed by the hundreds who assembled to do honor to the gallant knights. The threatening state of the weather* even, oould*, not cast a damper upon the spirits of those who had deter mined to enjoy themselves, and any one looking upon the brilliant array of fair ladies could seo that the prospect of be ing crowned tho "Queen of Love aud Beauty" in a storm, had no terrors for them* Too much praise cannot be awarded to Capt. T. A. Jeffords the Courtly Herald of the day, through whose untiring efforts all arrangements for the occasion had been perfected, and tho complete success which crowned those cftbits must have well rewarded him. the visitors Commenced pouring in at an early hour, from every road leading towards the town, and by half-past ten the beautiful spot selected for the Tournament was crowded by an array "of fashion and beau ty, which would do honor to any South ern city. ? the knights Assembled upon the old parade ground, and, headed by.the "Chicorn Band" from Charleston, took up the line of march to the field, presenting n sight not often witnessed, and seldom, equalled in simi lar displays elsewhere. the judges stand* Had been erected about the centre of the grounds, and before it the Knights were drawn up, to hear the rules for the con test read. This being over, they were marched in single file to the Upper end of the course, to "prepsire for the coming trial. The riding of each Knight was announced by a blast of the bugle, and ho was required to accomplish the dis tance of 75 yards within 8 second:-, or be ruled o?t. The following is a list of the Knights : J. C. Edwards, Knight of Orange. L. S. Wolfe, Knight of 1861. E. L. Sal ley, Knight of Eutaw. R. S. Crum, Knight of Star ami Garter. J. B. O.

To tho Knight of 'Ildertonj the second; and in coneequeneo of a tio for the third prize, between the Knights of Edisto and Howe's Pump, it was decided that they should ride over. This resulted in the wiuuiug of this prise by the Knight of *Edisto?tho Knight of Rowu's Pump taking the fourth. For the fifth and last prize ? for riding, it became necessary for tho Knights of ^EutaWi Orange, Star and Garter, and Long Branch to ride over, each having taken 4 rings. The tie to bo decided by a single ride. Tho Knight of tho Star and Garter, having taken three rings, was decided the winner. Tho prizo for tho fas test time Was awarded to the Knight of Orange, "jvho made the three rides in 1G seconds. a special pjuze, Offered by tho Herald, Cant. Jeffords, for a single dash, was won bv the Knight ofOrango, taking 3 rings. Time five seconds. This completed the riding,'when the 'knights were nssemblcd before the tJudge's stand, to receive the renanls, they had so gallantly now. Our space wdl not not permit us to more than notice the speeches made upon the presentation of each prize.. We will bo pardoned however for saying, that to our taste the address of the late Editor of the Times was the speech of the day. The first prize, a beautiful silver cup was presented by Mr. Mortimer Glover. Tho second by j,Capt. Jas. F. Izlar ; the third by Mr. Jas. S. Hey ward ; the fourth by Mr. 1). F. Jamison ; the fifth by Capt. J. A. Hamilton, and the sixth and seventh by Mr. Ja?. H. Fowles. ' The Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss. Sallie .Stokes, and the first Maid of lion or, Miss Parier, were then escorted upon the Judges stand, and three rousing cheers given in their honor. A charac teristic little speech from the Kight oi Perseverance, who had escorted the "Maid of Honor," was heartily enjoyed by all. In response to three cheers for tin Press of Orangchurg, Mr. Prowning, ol the "News," made a happy and appro priatc speech. Thus ended the festivities of the morn ing, which were heartily enjoyed, not withstanding a heavy shower of rain fell duriug the performance. .** J| the 15 ai.t. '* At bight was a grand success, ?s all who participated agree in pronouncing. At j its close regrets were expressed, farewells were said, and May Pay?wos a thing of tho past. [for the times.] HO ! FOR ENTERPRISE. Wc know of no town more gifted by nature or more calculated to repay the rambler in his search after pleasant views and quiet spots wherein1 to ruminate than our village, and future city, Orangeburg. In every direction upon the outskirts of our town, nature's solitudo i.*> relieved by enterprise, both of natives and immi grants, and new buildings meet the eye on every hand. Home are dwellings and some nre factories, some lb? comfort and some for money making, some for enjoy ment und some for employment. Wc like to write of these pleasant things and like to read of there being elsewhere. To write of them i3 a task affording the most pleasure, as their pre sence amongst us shows that there is in our midst both ability and willingness to afford patronage and encouragement to domestic, as well as attract foreign cn'ter prise. Among these busy spots that lie near at hand, none can interest one more fully than the Shingle Factory of Messrs. Al drieh &? Co. An undertaking of recent birth, possessed of all tho elomeuts re quisite for permanent success. The location will repay the rambler, from its picturesque position on the hank of the river, while the piles of cypress blockss, the busy breath of the steam, the strokes of saw, and whirring of the j wheels, together with the methodical movements of fifton or twenty hands em ployed in tho works, afford plenty of thought to feed his mind, and make him wonder how in so small a space and time such a quantity of labor cart bo accom plished, and in such unique stylos. The Engine is of twenty-five horse power. It runs two saws and a planing machine; and turns out 12,000 shingles per day of ten working hours. These shingles are never allowed to exceed fivo inches in width, which pre vents warping or splitting. They arc sawed:of Block cypress, the best material in the world for the purpose, and which elsewhcro can only bo got at in ponds on tho highland. Hero it can be obtained in the river swamp at spring tides, and is brought to the ' factory in flat-boats, j and at the above rato of consumption it1 can furnish . material for eight or ten years. What theso gentlemen may charge for their shingles, wo do not know, but withNj such facilities and a liberal patronage, it would require but a small profit to bring them in a fortune. Anon we may speak of Col. Edwards' brick yard in our character of RAMBLER. MARKEI REPOKT, CORRECTED WEEKLY BY TtfOSELEY & CROOK. ORANGEBURO COTTON MARKET. Cotton?Sales during the week 40 halo:.
