Mr. Editor: We country people look for the coming of the weekly paper with some interest. From it we learn what the party is doing in Washington, and who wrote the last, and who will write the next veto,ofourworthy Chief Magistrate; uud you have no idea Mr. Editor with what coolness and even carelessness we can read thatth e good citizens of Orangeburg, are being robbed of ther surplus cash, old clothing&c, by "the ligh' linger ed gentry,*' and wc even read the advertisements, as who would not, when wc lind the true spirit of poetry pervading so many of them. Who can resist this plaintive wail of friend A.B. Walk Kit : '?I mean pist what I snv, I'll sell for less than any one, Or give my goods away I" Who would doubt thnt he "means jnst what" he "says," not I suraly. In fact we look for Walker's ad vertisement in a short time to read something after this fashion : Come ! I'll give my goods away, In vain to s<!'. I've tried. Thin laut t find the only means To heep abreast the tide ! We notice Wai ker has added brick* to his line of groceries. Wo have before heard of sand and [/ravel in connection with groceries, but never tiit now of bricksj but thou this is a progres ive age iu which we live. We notice also the poetic stratus of friend Wkpii Bum. iu his adver tisement, and would advise that he add tea to his coffee, for one of those hioial Chinese which Rev. Hakt WKi l tells us of is surely coming to sec us, and then you will have to ubuitgc his advertisement to read? Conic and see my heathen Chinee. Come, buy of him your collce and tea i&c.

Robinson is named for Judge of Probate, and I second the nomination. Mr. Glover may be a good officer, but ho has en joyed office a long time at the hands of the people, and it is time to give, these advantages to another. Mr. Robinson is a one armed Confederate soldier, lie was elected once Clerk of Court by the people, but only en joyed the olKcc a month when he w as turned out. by the Rads, and Boliver took his place. He ought uow to have the chance to finish his term, if not in the same office, in another. Ho is an intelligent and an excellent man, and well qualified to fill the office. Let the Convention to-mor row consider well his chums. The. people should remember tho.tr who have lost blood and limbs for them. Countryman. The Statt? Press Association. The Press Association met in Spartanhurg on the 11th inst., with a fair attendance, chiefly from the up country. The delegation from At lanta extended an invitation to the association, and a special train was furnished by the Air Lino Railroad for an excursion to that city. Mayor Calhoun and Superintendent Foreacru appeared before the association and urged acceptance. The imitation was accepted,and the press gang went Friday to the Gate City To morrow an excursion to Hendersonvillo. Tbc Atlanta delegation was ac companied by Governor Colquitt, who was called upon for a speech and responded felicitously, urging the association to visit Georgia, whore a cordial welcome awaited them. The association attended com mencement exercises at Woftord Col lege and seats upon the stage were assigned to the mctnhors. The Alumni Association of Wo Hb rd Col lege invited the press to the annual dinner nt the Palmetto House, There was an elegant repast and a large at tendance of ex gradua es. Mr. Pope, of the "Register," responded for the press. Gen. Moise, Bishop Wight man, Col. Thompson and many other gentlemen made happy aud appro printe addresses.

"Stonewall Jackson's Way.1' A Confederate Song that Made its Mark in the World. [Baltimore Cor. Now York World.] "Stonewall Jackson's Way," ws.5 written in Oakland, Alleghanyj County, Maryland, almost within hearing of the guns of Antictam. About ten days after that battle it first appeared in print in the columns of the Haiti more Republican (by the author), headed, "Pound on the Body of a Sergeant of the Old Stonewall Brigade, Killed at Win chester." The original copy had dropped from his pocket in the heart of the Federal encampment at Antie lam, he heing then a special corres pondent of a Northern journal. Taken from the Republican, the song ~iiin i?i ouco act to music, and published simultaneously by two music dealers in Biltimore, but with difl'ercnt airs. The one to which it was popularly sung throughout Virginia, and especially in the Con federate army in the valley, was com posed by young Frederick Bcntee, a remarkable musical genius, whoso early death was not only a private but a public loss. The "sjtmpathizer" of Baltimore caught the tune as eagerly as they had that of "My Maryland;" but their enthusiasm met with a rude check at the bands of the reigning provost marshal, who seized and burned the sheets, destroyed tho plates, and cauterized the wound inflicted upon loyal hearts' by apply ing a red-hot oath of allegiance to several of the music seller* of tho city. [Our readers are doubtless familiar with this soul stirring song, the first verse of which we here quote :] Come, stack arms, men ! Pile on the rails, Stir up the camp-tire bright! No matter if the canteen fails? We'll make a roaring night, Heic Shcnamioah brawls along, There burly Blue Kidge echoes strong, To swell the brigade's rousing song Of Stonewall Jackson'? way. It is Stated in Charleston that while ox-Governor Chamberlain was in that city recently, a largo number of colored men met one evening and sent a committee to invite their for mer leader to address them upon tho topics of interest before the country I at this time. Mr. Chamberlain, how ever, declined to do so,and during his whole stay in this State was very cool lo those wi th whom he had been very intimate as long as ho could mako anything out of them Thus our colored people in South Carolina sec that the white people told them the truth when they said that Mr. Chamberlain and men like him only wanted their votes, but did not caro for ihcir rnce. '1 he Radical leaders only caro for the colored man when they can use him to promote tlioir selfish and corrupt purpose. As soon as they arc not seeking tho negro's vote, liko Mr.Chamberlain they have no further use for him,?Anderson In (dlcngtnccr. i'ii not. Much discussion has prevailed of late, iu northern Agricultural Journ als, concerning "Pearl millet." Its wonderful growth and great value a* a soiling plant have been especially dwelt upon. It may not be known to all of our readers^hat the plant iu question is the "cat-tail" millet which has been cultivated in tho ?South for many years. It had its day before the German Millet began Its "run." We do not mean by this re mark however, to disparage the cat tail Millet; for it is really a very valu able forage plant?admirably suited to furnish stabled stock of all kinds with most excellent green fuod in summer. On rich soil it springs up very rapid I v after being cut, and vory many cuttings may be had through tho season. Every farmer ought to have oue or more rich lots in which plants, such as those now under dis cussion, should be regularly and systematical')' cultivate I. They furnish the cheapest food that cm bo fed to stock and given alternately or mixed, promote greatly the health of animals to a wonderful degree. Such lots could be planted in summer, in millet, aud german millet and in autumn iu barley, rye, crimson and burr clover. Of couse they must bo rich to start with, and should receive a- heavy dressing every season.?? Southern Cultivator. Moon Crazy. Those poisons who hold to tho theory that sleeping with the face ex posed to the force of the full moon will cause dementia, will be interest ed in the statement of a sea captain just arrived from the East Indies. He states that one night while at set, his assistant cook, a Chinaman, slept on deck exposed to the influence of the moon, and woke up raving mad. Ha took a hatchet and cut the cook's hc.td opou, killed him and killod a Chiuaman, one of the crew, aud, when pursued by the watch on deck, jump ed overboard and was. drownsd. Thin three deathi occurred in leas than thrca minutes. The cook and tho slaughtered Chinaman J wjra b ?tli asleep in their berths atthitiina. The captain states that there was no dis turbance ol a:iy kiud ou board his vessel; all hands lived ou g >oi terms with one another, were prompt and obedient in the disehargo of every duty, and the only way he can ac count for tho trage ly was tho expo sure of tho Chinaman to the influence of the moon whilo asleep on deok. Better Time?/ Ahead. On a general review of tho bunnes* outlook a commercial journal con cludes that there baa been a groat improvement, aud that the indica tions clearly point to further improve ment. It says : "The period of de pression is ended, bankruptcies have declined fifty per cent, in the last six mouths; a feeling of courage and con fidence bus succeeded tha protracted period of despondency and doubt; a better demand is reported for most kinds of goods throughout the coun try; in most branches of industry a greater activity is reported, based upon a mo ro active demand; scores of mills and factorios have started up which h avo been idle for several years." To Dance or Not to Danee. Dr. Dabney, of Virginia, and Dr. Adgcr, of South Carolina, h?vo olabo1 ratcly discussed this question in all its breadth and boat ings. Tho for mer says that dancing is a sin perse, the latter that it is questionable but not disciplinable; that while there must be evil tendencies in the dance (Assemblies, Dioceses, Conferences and Conventions in all, ages having act themselves against it) yet Church has a faith and not ac .y, i ion, she cannot umlorfc&ke sum* n * .y regulations, and can only t? ? what is indisputably ruvo.ilc l.
