Banks, ami on the negative G. P. Watson and C. R. Wallace. Mr. l anks is from Orangeburg, and a son of Re\. Banks, of St Matthews. Dr. John T. l>arhy ? It is with pain that wc learn of the death of this eminent physician in JCew York on Tin.-day. His illness ha:; been of long dura tion, aggravated, it is thought, from poison received into his system from a cut in the hand while engaged in the dissecting room. Dr. Darby was reared in St. Matthews, where he leaves many relative':. He was a man of unusual talents, and having enjoyed great adxan luges of acquiring knowledge, he became one of the most distinguished physi cians of the United States, occupying prominent positions in New York, Philadelphia and in this Stute.. His father died in Orangcburg but a few ywnrs ago. Gen. Preston, bis father-in-law, was with him in New York, but r ? turned for his home in Columbia the day before ho diet), supposing he would linger for months. His 1 o.s.s is universally felt. Wo extend our heartiest sympa thies to his relatives in the vicinity of Tort Motto. Orange!? ii rfg? Improvements of a substantial diameter arc about commencing, which auger well for the future pros pects of our town. The Refinery of .Mr. Cornels >n has been started, which, when completed, will prove an incalculable benefit to the whole community. The founda tion, too, is being laid for Dr. Dukes' new storo which will beau ornament to i his part of the town. When we look back and SCO the progress of Orangcburg it seems to us that every citizen should feel gratified. Seven years ago there was but one main street. To-day thero are two others running parallel with Russell, opening up a quantity of new and beautiful building lot:, a large number of which have beeil built up with neat ami comfortable dwelling.", and still there is mom. Uthcr cross streets arc now needed between the Railroad and the street by Doyle's store, as we have b< lore urged, and we arc glad to learn that one is now in contemplation. Resides this, tho big fire swept away a number of wooden buildings which has been replaced with sub stantial brick ones, giving an air ol coin fortahlu permanence. Wo believe the- are few interior towns which have improved more surely and rapidly than ours, and we don't know of a County which oilers better chances '01 malting an honest living. Let us go to work with new vigor under the encouragement an I inspi ration of tho past, and 1 ?oking tor ward with hope and confidence for the future. Or:ui?cbtir? AUi'outl ?

Since the Smith Carolina Railroad has come into the hands of a Lioceiver a high handed injustice has been practiced upon the people in the refusal of the Company to pay for the slock killed. Such an actcann ot be j ustified by any principles of law ai.d iqtiiiy, : ml it cor.not stand. Is the Railroad to be an irresponsible monster, dashing through tho land killing and devouring wherever and whatever it pleases ? As things now stand the Railroad is in the I ourt, and to sue it is to site the Court. It is the duty of the Court, then, tu see that justice is done and reparation ma le. Let it not be said that the tempi .: of justice has become an engine of epprcssion and wrong. If we mistake not tho char ter of the Company requires that the Road must either fence In their land or pay (or damages. If this is not so it should bo s >.

In another column we print the official report of the proceedings ol this Institute which was formed in the Court 11 ouso on Saturday. We regret to note the exceedingly small turn out. There can hardly be less than one hundred teachers in the County, and yet will: all the communications and references to the subject, and with the known fact that Maj. Tliompton, Superintendent of [education w ould ho present to address the inciting, only 18 teachers, male and female, white and colored wore enrolled. These organized by the selection of the various officers. For tho Presi dency the contest was between Mr. Sheridan and Prof, llolloway, tho other gentlemen, as soon as named, having declined. The ic.-ult of the vote was 10 for the former, and <S for the latter. . We hope that there may bo some excuse lor the small attendance, and that the next meeting may be larger and more enthusiastic. A greater interest in tho cause of education .>ml an elevation and improvement of the profession of touching is need ed; and if tho Institute is properly conducted both objects may be at tained. Maj, Thompson's speech was excel lent, and gave much food for profita ble thought. ?? ? -?-<?- ?. Itranchvillc J>ol?? An interesting meeting of tho Methodists, was in progress tit Sardis Church during tho past week. Dr. Raysor preached on Friday, Presid ing Elder brown on Saturday and Sunday, ami Rev. O. A. Darby on Mondav night. The congregation pi) Sunday was very large. Mr. Brown taking as his text, Prov. xiv, o2, '?The wicked is driven away in his wickedness; but tho righteous hath hope in his death." it is hoped ilmt much good bus been done by the I meeting. Crops look wed, but uro sinull. The lust two weeks have been very dry und a great doul of grass has been killed. Outs lire good this sea son, and will save much tri the corn buyers. Business is dull.

A Higher Girn?lc<l School? We have spoken of this need in Orangcburg before, but we are s<> thoroughly impressed with its impor tance that we will keep the matter before the people Wo do not ex pect in any way to bo benefitted personally by the. change which we propose, therefore our notice should not be attributed to self-interest. Ali we want is a well organized and thoroughly equipped graded school I of a high standard, as may he found itialmost every County in the Stute. Private eHurts cannot accomplish it with the necessary satisfaction. Con solidation, and the co-operation oi the lax-payers is necessary. They must put. their hinds to iho wheel. There must he a competent Board of Trus tees to have control, and the teach srs must he the bc-d, and well paid, au 1 the school must be under the most systematic and wholesome discipline. lion. Samuel Dibble, who is on the Board of Examiners, and our worthy School Commissioner nhoul 1, au I we have no doubt will, do their best in ibis line for the educational in tore its of our township. Maj. Thompson, our Stale. Super intendent of Education, in his spi ech on Saturday, showed the t-'p'endid working of such graded schools elsewhere, and we sei nothing , to prevent tho inauguration of i!i system hoi e. We hire heard many of our citi zens express the highest approval of the scheme. In the interest of Orangcburg wa commend the mutter to tit ? sari >us consideration of the influential g -;i lleinen wo have named. Wc warn the whites to sei to it that the rising generation of their race may be well armed for the future battle of life in the poss s. i in of that power which knowledge albn o can give. ? . ?a?a * - - Chi 11 in Uitivei'Mity? 'J he cxamin ntiou of t his education al instilution for the colored youth of the State, took place on Monday and Tuesday. We iegret that we were not able to attend on account of our own school duties, but we have as certained from competent judges who did attend, that the stitdcu's ucquit t d themselves with great credit to themselves and their instructors. They exhibited careful training and a huidiblc zeal in tin acquisition of knowledge. The exhibition taking place on Wednesday afternoon, we were, able to get out, and wore highly pleased with the exercises. The spaiking was capital, and somo of the origin al pieces deserve the highest com inendatioit on account, of their grace of diction and extended range, of thought. 'flie declamations in Greok and Latin showed a familiarity with th c pronunciation of these languages which is praiseworthy. We noticed that nil the speakers took their time, without rushing through, which contributed largely to the success of their efforts. All performed their parts well, but j we were particularly struck with the efforts of W. L. Bulklcy, D. II. j Bowen and .J. C. Marlin. At the close of the exercises a diploma was conferred on a daughter of Uov. Middletou, w ho is a gra lu ato in tiie. Normal department.
