The New York Base Ball Club has won the world’s championship. jnake shock was felt in I!- touri on Saturday. The government of Switzerland has . ohibited the holding of meetings by the Salvation Army. The Presidenthas proclaimed Thurs day, November 29, as the general Thanksgiving Pay. A lumber and furniture factory has -been established at Georgetown, 8. C., with home capital. Mr. John K. Pegues, a prominent planter of Marlboro County, died on Sunday. A citizen of Barnwell County is mak ing a canvass of that county and A Mi en for the laudable purpose of estab lishing a Confederate Home. Of the $.’5,000,000 to he guaranteed by New York, should the World's Fair be held in that city, only fl.W", 654 has yet been subscribed. William H. Crisson the cashier of the Trademen National Bank of Con- shohoeken’ Pa., has absconded with $50,000 of the bank's funds It is reported that six members of the Howard outlaw gang, of Harlan Kentucky, were killed by Judge Lew is’ posse’on Wednesday of last week. The boiler of a saw mill in Laurens County exploded on Monday, killing three colored men outright and fatal ly wounding three others. Edwin Scott, colored, who killed Iftmi Pearson, also colored, at Man tling a short time ago, was acquitted of murder on Thursday, on the ground of self defence. Another startling electric net {lent occurred in New York on Monday. The horse of a Herald delivery wagon was caught in a deadly loop of tele phone work and roasted to death. The price of the stock of the cotton down. jr.mutkfc iuctor counted the stock and missed one of the animate. He was about to send some oi his men bac k to sec if they could trace the missing mare, but l>efore the men could start the mare came running at I a break-neck speed do an the dirt I road, and reached Greensboro five I minutes after tliearrivaj oi the freight train, having run about three miles. When the mare arrived at Greensboro she walked right up to the car, and pawed and showed anxiety to get b;iek in and i ide the rest of the way. 8he was not injured by the jump, and ar- j rived in Augusta this lao.iung,” The Greenville correspondent of the News and Courier thus explains the systematic and businesslike manner in which the cotton of the Fanners’ Alliance of that county is sold through tlie medium of an Alliance seller: ‘•When the Alliance seller was first elected here his mode of disposing of the cotton brought here was to grade and classify it and tell the farmers what lie thought it was worth, ac cording to the market quotations. The farmer then went out and tried the buyers, if their bid was not up to what the Alliance seller had rated it then the cotton came back and was not sold. As it is now arranged the Alliance members bring their cotton to the seller. He samples it and places the samples in order for the inspec tion of all the buyers. Two or three times a day the cotton, as it comes in is sold in bulk, and before the sale takes place the buyers come into the warehouse, look over the samples of the cotton for sale and leave sealed bids. At the time advertised for the sale to come off the bids are opened and the highest bidder gets the cot ton. The plan is working well and is having an encouraging effect on the Greenville market, which, like those all over the 8tate, has been rather de pressed. Tlie confidence of the farm ers and tiie Alliance members is estab lished and good results will follow.” five iHiints on Wall equiva- m the . i pi — seed oil trust fell five i> Street on Thursday. This is lent to a shrinkage of $2,000,000 capital of the trust and has caused much consternation on the exchange. While work was being done on a three story brick building in Patter son New Jersey, on Thursday, the Walls fell and sixteen workmen were buried alive in the debris. Some will probably not recover. John Jacob Astor, the richest man ih America, is reported as about to itoarry a widow, named Mrs. Bowler, df Cincinnati. Mr. Astor U 68 years old aw<* has a fortune of $150,000,000. Un. Bowler is a middle aged lady. It is rumored that the commission of W. W. Russell, as postmaster at Anderson is withheld in Washington for investigation. Opposition to Rus sell by Republicans as well as Demo crats is assigned as the cause. W. B. Meetz, who killed James I. Clark in Columbia last summer and whose case resulted in a mistrial a short, time since, has been granted bail by Judge Norton in the sum of $10,000. Before his trial bail was refused him by Judge Wallace. A Mr. Ferguson, of Spartanburg, claims, after a series of experiments, to have produced a new variety of cotton plant, an aero of which will yield 400 bushels of cotton seed, there being almost a total absence of lint In the yield. The of States of North and South Dakota were formally admitted into the Union on Saturday by a proelam- atiou of the President. This is the first instance in the history of the country of twin States. They were both admitted at the same moment. The Presbyterian Synod in conven tion at Spartanburg adjourned on Oc tober 20. The Woodrow controversy threatened several times to put the meeting in heated discussion, but for tunately the question was avoided as much as jiossible and harmony pre vailed throughout the proceedings. On Friday last the walls of a new building fell ujion a carnet factory in Glascow, which crushed the roof of the factory burying over fifty girls and women in the debris. Twenty- five dead bodies have so far been tak en from the ruins aud it is estimated that about fifty femrtles in all have been killed. John J. Hoffernan, a prominent merchant of Barnwell, was shot and instantly killed, on Wednesday of last week, by a colored man mimed Rid ley Johnson. The coroner’s jury found a verdict that Mr. Heffernan was feloniously slain. Johnson fled but was captured near Grahams on Tuesday. Three Mormon elders were preach ing their doctrines in Alabama last week, one of them being disguised as a woman. The deception was discov ered, and the iieople of the communi ty were so indignant with the elders that it was with tlie greatest difficulty they could be prevented from punish ing them severely. A letter from a mass meeting of the citizens of Newport, R. L, irrespective of political faiths, has been addressed to President Harrison, in which it is stated that in some of the Southern States innocent American citizens are being killed by the thousands and tlie President is urged to put a stop to the carnage. Hon. James E. Calhoun died at his home in Abbeville County on Thurs day, in the 94th year of his age, Mr. Calhoun was the largest- land owner in the State, possessing 160.000 acres of land. He was the son of Hon. John E. Calhoun who was United States Senator from South Carolina in 1802 and was a cousin and brother-in-law of the South's greatest stateman, John C. Calhoun. The News and Courier hp* offered one hundred valuable presents to be distributed by drawings to those who subscribe to The Weekly Newt and Courier and Sunday Neics for one year or to The Daily News and Cou rier for the same length of time. The drawing will be on February 22, i860, and the subscribers holding the lucky numbers will get the handsome pres ents. The paper also offers a special lot of handsome presents to those who subscrilie to The Weekly News and Persons desiring to oom- i tor either set of presents must i after October 80th 18®. at of The . .jeer date of Nov. t night while-the east- on the Georgia it three miles the other ueof the horses TH£ ELECTIONS ON fl'ESDAY. State elections were held in a number of the States on Tues day last, and the result in sever al of them is watched with in terest, as having a decided influ ence upon the next pre idential election. Up to the hour of going to press, the information received is too meagre to admit of anything like a correct fore shadowing of the result in any instance. The press telegrams published in The News and Cou rier yesterday would induce the belief that the notorious Fora- ker had been defeated in Ohio in his aspirations for guberna torial honors a third time. We can scarcely credit this report however; Foraker, <; the fire- eater,” is a typical Ohioan, and his peculiar doctrines suit the people of the “Buckeye State” too well for them to dispense with his services. As was ex pected, Abbott, the Democratic candidate for Governor, w r as elected in New Jersey, and the Assembly will probably be of the same political faith on joint ballot. The Democratic State officers have probably been elect ed in New York, while even in old hide-bound Massachusetts, Russell, that party’s candidate for Governor has made such a run as indicates the most unex pected Democratic gains in that State. But, after all, the real inter est of the election centres in the Old Dominion, where Republi can influence, and Republican capital sent in perfect floods from the North, have been used to capture the State and thus to break the solid South. With a view to effecting this result, the importance of taking Vir ginia by storm has appealed to all the leaders of the Republican party, not even, if rumor be true, the President himself be ing excepted. The fight has been a stubborn one, Mahone and his minions stooping to all kinds of dirty political work in order to hoist the doughty little General into the gubernatorial chair. While the news receiv ed yesterday was but scanty, it was sufficiently minute to in duce the belief that the Repub licans have been defeated by a handsome majority. The illus trious “Mother of Presidents” has thus again added to her an cient prestige, and for this re newed effort to drive the traitor and the alien forever from her shores is entitled to the hearty “Well done!” of e^ry true Democrat in the country. YorTHFl’lTcRIM INALS In passing sentence last week upon Sam Smith, the diminutive colored boy who plead guilty to the charge of house-breaking and larceny, his Honor, Judge Wallace, made some pertinent remarks about the necessity for the establishment of a Re formatory School in this State. The evil of confining unfori nate children within the sa: ei ’ ile is so * • seem to appeal to our law makers 1 at a glance, and yet, year after year, notwithstanding the fact that their attention has been called to the matter time and I again in the most urgent man-1 n'er, they have met and adjourn ed without oven discussing it. An ignorant,unfortunatechild is often convicted of burglary in a technical sense, and confined in the Penitentiary for a long term of years. All of his youth ful associations being thus con nected with the most depraved creatures upon the face of the earth, he who might have re formed if he had been afforded the opportunity, goes forth from the walls of the Penitentiary with his soul steeped in crime, and his heart ready for any act of lawlessness. Owing to the large number of children who have of late years been con fined there, that institution is fast becoming'a regular nursery for crime, and the State, that “gentle mother” who is suppos ed to protect and nurture the weakest of her children,is wreck ing many of their lives through gross neglect. In this way, there are turned loose upon our people every year, to pillage, to murder, and to burn, a host of scoundrels, who received their training in crime within the walls of a State institution. As Judge Wallace aptly remarked last week, our legislators cannot plead the excuse of expense ; it is not necessary to establish two separate institutions, but sim ply to have two totally distinct departments of the same institu tion. Cannot our law-makers be induced to take action in this mbst important matter ?
