Air, Editor: Wc 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, of our worthy Ch icf Magistrate; and you havo no idea Mr. Editor with what coolness and even carelessness we can read that the good citizens of Orangeburg, are being robbed of tber surplus cash , old clothing &c, by "the ligh' linger ed gentry,"' and we even read the advertisements, as who would not, when we find the true spirit of poetry pervading so many of them. Who can resist this plaintive wail of friend A. B. Walk Kit: ''I menu pist what T sav, I'll sell for less than any one, Or give my goods away I" "Who would doubt that he "means just what" he "says," not I suraly. In fact we look for Wamcer's ad vertisement in a short time to read something after this fashion : Come ; I'll give my goods away, In vain to sell I've tried. Thirf last I find the only means To keep abreast the tide ! Wc notice Walker has added bricks to his l ine of groceries. We have before heard of sand auilgravcl in connection with groceries, but never till now of bricks; but then this is a progres ive age in which we live. We notice also the poetic strains of friend Wkjm; lit ll in his adver tisement, and wouid advise that he add ten to his coffee, for one of those moiul Chinese which Kiev. Haut w El l. tells us of is surely coming to see us, and then you will have to cluinge his advertisement to read? Come and Fee my heathen Chinee. Come, buy of him your coffee and tea &c. And, let us not overlook friend ^CoKT.um.n, but pay our respects to nini, Oy imping Uio }>eujjer uf Willow Township will be speedi'y answered.

[For the Orangeburg Timks. | Orange TowNSHir, June 14th 1879. Mr, Editor : I see that Mr. .1. F. Robinson is named for Judge of Probate, and I second the nomination. Mr. Glover may be a good officer, but ho has en joyed oflice 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 oflice a month when he w as turned out. by the Rads, and Boliver took his place. He ought now to have the chance to finish his term, if not iu the same oflice, in another. IIo is an intelligent and an excellent man, and well qnulified to fill the oflice. Let the Convention to-mor row consider well bis claims. The people should remember tho.tr who hate tost blood (ind limbs /'or them. Countryman. The State Press Association. The Press Association met in Bpartanburg on tho 11th inst., with a fair attendance, chiefly from tho 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 Forcacro appeared before tho association and urged acceptance. The imitation was accepted,and the press gang went Friday to the Gate City. To morrow an excursion to Ilcndersonvillo. The Atlanta delegation was ac companied by Governor Colquitt, who wns called upon for a speech and responded felicitously, urging the association to visit Georgia; where it cordial welcome awaited them. The association attended com I meucement exerciser; at Woflbrd Col lege and seats upon the s:tagc were i as.-igncd to the nu mbers. The Alumni Association of Wo Hb id Col lege invited the press to the annual dinner at the Palmetto House. There was an elegant repast and a large at tendance of ex graduaes. 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. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuring year: T. B Crews, of Laurens, President; Vice Presidents ? D. P. Bradley, of Pick ens; R. M. Stokes, ot Union; W. J. McKerrall, ol Marion; J. T. Bacon, Edgefield, and C. I. Walker, of Charleston. A. T. Todd, of Anderson, Record ing Secretary. E. B. Murray, of Anderson, Cor responding f ecrctary. T. F. Grcneker, of Newberry, Treasurer. The association unanimously ex tended an tnrne-t invitation to Uover nor Simpson to accompany it to At lanta and 11 endersouville. " StoneW3II Jackson's Watr.1' A Confederate Song that Made its Mark in the World. [Huhimore Cor. Now York World.1] "Stonewall Jackson's Way," was written in Onkluud, Allegbany County, Maryland, almost within hearing of the guns of Antietam. About ten days after that battle it first appeared in print in the columns of the Baltimore Republican (by the author), headed, "Found 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 Antio lam, be hcing then a special corres pondent of a Northern journal. Taken from the Republican, the j song WM- ?t ouco act to music, and published simultane rnsly by two music dealers in B iltimore, but with different airs. Tho otic to which it was popularly sung throughout Virginia, and especially in the Con federate army in tho valley, was coin posed by young Frederick Bcntee, a remarkable musical genius, whoso early death was not only a private but a public loss. The "sjftnpathizer" of Baltimore caught the tune as eagerly as they had that of "My Maryland;" but their enthusiasm met with a rude check at the bauds 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 sellers of the city. [Our readers are doubtless familiar with this soul stirriitg song, the first I verse of which we here quote :] Conic, stack anus, men ! Pile on the rails. Stir up the camp-fire bright! No matter if the canteen fails? We'll make .1 roaring niglit, Here Shenandouh brawls along, There burly Blue Ridge echoes strong, To swell the brigade's rousing flong Of Stonewall Jackson's way. It is stated in Charleston that while ox-Governor Chamberlain was in that city recently, a largo number of colored men mot one evening and sent a committee to invite their for mer leader to address them upon tho topics of interest before the country at this time. Mr. Chamberlain, how ever, declined to do so,and during his whole stay in this State was very cool to those wi th whom bo had been very intimate ns long as ho could mako anything out of them Thus our colored people in South Carolina pee 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 1 heir race. '1 he Radical leaders only caro for the colored man when they can use him to promote thoir selfish and corrupt purpose. As soon as they arc not seeking the negro's yote, like Mr.Chamberlain they have no further use for h m.?Anderson In teilt ugtnt ct*. Millet. Much discussion has prevailed of late, iu northern Agricultural Journ* als, concerning "Pearl millet." Ita wonderful growth and great value a* a soiling plant have been especially dwelt upon. It may not be known to all of our readers ^that 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 howwer, to disparage the cat tail Millet; fur 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 rapidly after being cut, and very many cuttings may be had through the season. Every farmer ought to have one 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 iu summer, in millet, and gertnan millet and iu autumn in bai ley, rye, crimson and burr clover. Of couse they must bo rich to start with, and should receive a. heavy dressing every season.? Southern Cultivator, Moan Craxy. Those persons who hold to tho theory that sleeping with the face ex posed to the force of the full moon will cause dementia, will bo interest ed in the statement of a sea captain just arrived from the Eastlndic3. lie states that one night while at sei, his assistant cook, a Chinaman, slept on deck exposed to tho infl uence of the moon, and woke up raving mad. Ha took a hatchet and cut the cook's hc?d opon, killed him and killedj? Chinaman, one of the crew, aud, when pursued by the watch on deck, jump ed overboard and was drowned. Thin three deaths occurred in less than thrca minutes. The cook and tho slaughtered Chinam.m 1 wjra b ?th asleep in their bortha at th; time. The captain states that there was no dis turbance ol any kind ou board his vessel; all hands lived ou good terms with one another, were prompt and obedient in the dischargo of every duty, and the only way he can ac count for tho tragoly was the expo sure of tho Chinaman to tho influence of the moon while asleep on deck. Better Times,' Ahead. On a general review of the busi noss outlook a commercial journal con cludes that there has been a great improvement, and 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 tho last six mouths; a feeling of courage and con fidence has succeeded the protracted period of despondency and doubt; a better demand is reported for most kinds of goods throughout the cjun try; in most branches of industry a greater activity is reported, bared upon a mo re active demand; scores of mills and factories have started up which h avo been idlo for several years." ????>? - ? -. ? To Dance or Not to Danee. Dr. Dabney, of Virginia, and Dr. Adger, of South Carolina, have elabo* lately discussed this question in all its breadth and bsarings. The for mer says that dancing is a sin perte, the latter that it is questionable but not disci pi inable; that while thore must be evil tendencies in tho dance (Assemblies, Dioceses, Conferences and Conventions in all, ages having set themselves against it) yet Ciisrch has a faith and not ai .j, i ion, she cannot undertake sum* n i .y regulations, and can only r ? what is indisputably rov<ulel.
