A telegram to the "News and Courier" froiu Orangeburg reports the killing of a soldier belonging to the garrison; by a Capt. Gallaher, on the 2d. This is a cruel hoax on our friends, and a vilo slander on our town. "Wo have no gar rison fortunately'at this place. DEATH OF HON. J. L, ORR. The subject of this melancholy notice died on the 6th, 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 the champion of Southern rights, or tho supporter of a Northern tyranny, are too familiar for rehearsal here. His career is closed and over the 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. The radical defenso in covering its shame said, tho white people of the ^ State were willfully blind to the light of reason, and deaf to the argument of stub born facts, evolved from an irresistablc ? 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 ear 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 arc mad enough to defend the policy of the ene mies of honeBty and peace) that the rot tenest hulk, with the most drunucn pilot; is aB much entitled to confidence, ns is this dynasty of perjured, faithless and soulless government. Its promises arc as voluminous, as its villainies are glaring. The first breach of faith began with the birth of flip party in the State. Thanks be to God, the conception was elsewhere; Pestilence when brought upon same un toward wind is dread, but when the nt mosphere is purged, the cause for danger is removed. This is our only hope, that this distinct, peculiar, and wholly segre gated plague may die out for witnt 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 ?o rate an assessment, and afterward increase it three fold, after a plan of stealage called "Equalization." The tax was paid, and Mantalini picked up tho gold and sil ver, and the deficiency went into the "sinking fund." Military bills to show up the many lined ''hen) of Fort Suovtcr," were created, and the appropri ation for these, went in the wako of the precedents. "Land purchasing bureaus" robbed the (State of hundreds of thousand* and made, autocrats of beggars. The legislature was an auction honte, where every bill had its figures. Stute bonds wer?; surreptitiously sold by tho officers of tbo State at ono half their face valuation to*.raise money for themselves. In a word, South Carolina, its property and all (except, its sons who were, neither to be bought nor hoodwinked) was tossed into tho political hopper, aud the meal was qucitly taken as tell, while tho husk was left for tho owners. Now we have a ?ug\v tax to pay outs'niiditig State debts, and a new call is made for logal talent to fin.vo us fonin robbery. It may bu worth the attempt, but wo are credulous;? Argue 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 equity. Adopt if it can bo done s?mo plan to check this flow of money into their pockets, / and you will be as freo of radical rulers in a month, as (Hibernia is said to be) of snakes. ' THE INDIAN POLICY. The huo and cry is extermination, for what; Is it that the lifo Of the unfortu nate Gen. Canby is worth morojthan the entire race of Modocs, men, Women and children. If so; what has made the ex istence of the Indian so contemptible, and tho value of n solitary white mau so ap preciated. Gen. Sherman face to fhee 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 he had dared to speak the .death knoll of tho Indian race. . If prudenco would have suggested this much for his personal safety, should not mercy have tempered his ire of justice. The act of the Indinn Chief was base aud treacherous, but review tho uase 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. The worm will sting the foot that presses it, and red Jack counting the cost, made the 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 the rock, he could hurl a bullet to the brain of his betrayer. His bounty was doled out in beads aud poisoned whiskey, his soul was 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 the influence of the tricky white man, and hurling the lio of defiance to his teeth, bis wild heroism was aroused, and be slew both the innocent and the guilty. Better had the government measured a modicum of its Southern policy to the Indian, x. e. counting the inferior its protege,, then it might have been spared the disgraco of Sher man's vindictive howl, and at least have been consistent hi its former dealings with its subjects. Here the rule is in hands' and hearts blacker than the In dians. Thefo for party sako cruelty will ?bo practised. Treat the Indian as a man and his savage breast will respond a kindly throb. Bob him, and degrade him by putting his scanty subsistence in the hands of cormorant ruinsclliug agents and you teach him that neither his, or the life of such tools of the government is worth the sparing.

CLOSE OF TUE FESTIVAL I! I ??:o:? 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 I What people more fit ted to personate tho gallant heroes of history than the native South Carolinians who look with prido upon the past achievements of their glorious State 1 The first of May was iudeed a gala day, long to be remembered, and tho holiday was heartily enjoyed by tbo hundreds who assembled to do honor to the gallant knights. Tho threatening state of the weather* even, could*, 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 and Beauty" ill a storm, bad no terrors for them. Too much praise.cannot be awarded to Capt. T. A. Jeffords the Courtly Herald of tho day, through whose untiring efforts all arrangements for tho occasion had been perfected, and tho complete success which crowded those cflbits must have well rewarded him. the visitors Commenced pouring in at an early hour, from every road leading towards the town, aud 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. ? t?e knights Assembled upon the old parade ground, and, headed by tue "Chicora Band" from Charleston, took up the line of inarch to the field, presenting a eight not often witnessed, and seldom, equalled in simi lar displays elsewhere. the judges stan it 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 tipper end of the course, to "prepare 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 seconds, or be ruled oQt. 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. Criira, Knight of Star ana Garter. J. B. 0. Bet torso 11, Knight of Perse verance. A, M. Salley, Black knight. J. Geo. Vose, Knight of Ed ist o. J. A. Flinches, Knight of Uderton. W. L. DcIIay, Knight of Rowc's Pump J. S.

To tho Knight of Iidertonj the second; and in conecquenco of a tie for the third piizc, between the Knights of Edisto and Rowc's Pump, it wub decided that they should ride over. This resulted in the wiuniug of this pri&e by the Knight of ?Edisto?tho Knight of Howe's Pump taking tho fourth. For the fifth and lust prize - for riding, it bccnnio necessary1 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. The Knight of tho Star and Garter, having taken three rings, was decided tho winner. Tho prize for the fastest time Was awarded to the Knight of Orange, ?jvho mado the three rides in 1G seconds. a special prize, Offered by tho Herald, Capt. Jeffords, for a single dash, was won by the Knight of Orange, takiugf.3 rings. Time five seconds. This completed the riding,'when the ^nights were assembled before the fudge's Btand, to receive the rervards, they had so gallantly now. Our space will not not permit us to more than notice the speeches made upon the presentation of eaeh prize.. We will be pardoned however for saying, that to our taste the address of the late Editor of the Times was the speech of tho day. The first prize, a beautiful silver cup was presented by Mr. Mortimer Glover. The second by j,Capt. Jas. F. Izlar ; the third by Mr. Jas. S. Hey ward ; the fourth by Mr. D. F. Jamison ; the fifth by Capt. J. A. Hamilton, and the sixth and seventh by Mr. Jns. II. Fowlcs. ' The Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss. Sallie Stokes, and the first Maid of Hon 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 the Press of Orangcburg, Mr. Browning, ot 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 during the performance. T thi: BALIi At bight was a grand success, as all who participated agree in pronouncing. At its close regrets were expressed, farewells were said, and May Day^wbs a thing of the past. [for the times.] HO ! FOR ENTERPRISE. We know of no town more gifted by nature or more calculated to repay the rambler in his search aftfir pleasant views and quiet spots wherein" to ruminate than our village, aiid future city, Orangcburg. In every direction upon the outskirts of our town, nature's solitude i.5 relieved by enterprise, both of natives and immi grants, and new buildings meet the eye on every hand. Sbme arc dwellings and some are factories, some foV comfort and some for money making, some for enjoy ment and some for employment. We like to write of these pleasant things and like to read of there being elsewhere. To write of them h a task affording the most pleasure, as their pre sence amongst us shows that there is in our m'ulst both ability anil willingness to afford patronage and encouragement to domestic, as well as attract foreign enter prise. Among these busy spots that lie near at hand, none can interest one more fully than tho Shingle Factory of Messrs. Al drich & Co. An undertaking of recent birth, possessed of all tho elements re quisite for permanent success. The location will repay the rambler, from its picturesque position on the bank of the river, while the piles of cypress blocks, tho busy breath of the steam, the strokes of saw, and whirring of the wheels, together with tho 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 cari be accom plished, and in such unique styles. The Engiue is of twenty-five horse power. It runs two saws and a planing machinoj and turns out 12,000 shingles per day often working hours. These shingles are never allowed to exceed five inches in width, which pre vents warping or splitting. They are sawed.of Black cypress, the best material in the world for the purpose, and which elsowhoro can only be got at in ponds on tho highland. Hero it can bo obtained in the river swamp at spring tides; and is brought to the * factory in flat-boats, and at the above rato of consumption it can furnish.material for eight or ten yeara. I What theso gentlemen may charge for I their shingles, wo do not know, b?t with^ 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 REPORT, CORRECTED WEEKLY BY MOSSLBY & CROOK. ORANGER URO COTTON MARKET. -:-i-1-!_|J_i M?"
