A SAIL AROUND TUE HAKB0R AND A KI N TU T1IK BAR. We mean by the above the liar of sand which encircles Charleston har bor, and nothing stronger It is natural for persons pout up within the walls of a shop, or bound tries of a farm, to seek a bre~zc at least onco a year. This opportunity was ottered by the excursion trip advertised by the South Carolina Kail road Com pany for last Friday. A large number of pleasure-seek ers from every part of tho State availed themselves of the oh me j for a pleasant run to tho "City by the Sea," to imbiba the pure air of ihe Atlantic. The large crowd was considerably augmented as the train touched at Ol angebt! rg. The merry excursionists bounded from our depot with light hearts over the iron rail, uutil on nvaring Sum nierrille a gloom was ca?t over tltd scene by the shocking ruin or of A MAN tiVK OVKK BY THE TRAIN. As eoon as the rapid speed of the train could bo arrested, the engine backed about a quarter of a mile, when nn officer of the Kail road an enmpauie 1 by a numbor of pawn gers, jumped out and walke 1 down the tiaek. Sure tnough the rumor proved too true. Tha faint rays of the inooulight revealed the body of a white man on tho track cut in two parts. Tho train was backed up, the last car was cleared ?of passengers, and the fragments of the body taken up and put aboard. It was found afterwards that the un l'orturtit? man was a Mr. Mints, a farmer living ocar Summerville without any immediate fa nily. At 91 o'clock P. M. the train arrived in Charleston ami the excur sionists separated for their several stopping places. The next afternoon about four hundred of the party were found on the decks of the Sappho ready for A TKir TO Titn VAR. Among the number were found Ihe following from Orangeburg: R II Zimmerman, It Frank Slater and wife, J?<? Voso, Win. Wilcock and son, Capt. M (Hover, R Copes, F DeMars and wife, A W Tharin. S Dukes, W V Dukes, G A Schifflcy, James McNamara, John Zeigler, Miss Rebecca Albcrgotti, Miss Lena JefTor?b, Masters T A Jeffords, Ooo. Zeigler, Peter Brunson, H Dawson and Fred Pitthan, E Baldwin, Wm Hoffman, L S Wolfe, J Amakcr, II L Rickenbaker, T Rickenbaker, A J Horger, J C Peats, Dr. A S 31yd rick, John Fcrsner, Widio Stokes, E F Darby, Miss Olivia l'oyle, B B Leo, Somers Dibhle. I) W Shuler, Mrs. R II Wilds, T Kohn, "Wm Crum, Dr. Pou, W T Light foot ar.d the Turn:'*. The splendid steamer glided out of the dock about 4 o'clock, and passed in r-lofe proximity to every point of interest in the harbor, including Rrmley's Point, the Battery. Castle Pinckney, Ft. Johnson, Sullivan's Island, llattery Wagner, Ft. Suinter, and the Charleston Lighthouse. It was the intention of tho Captain to cross the Bar, but on nearing this point, the manifest evidencos of inter nal disquietudo on tho part of a num ber of passengers suggested the pro priety of turning about and seeking the still waten? The steamer Allison wasai?oout with tho Palmatto Guards, and the band* from the tvt o steamers mingling their deltghtfnl music added much to the enlnenment of the occasion, The sen breeze outside of Ft. Sumter wat- most exhilarating. About sunset the Sappho returned to Charleston having carried out tho program mo to the letter and to the entire satisfaction of the party. After the steamer landed a num ber of the parly from our Burg, in search of another breeze, took a promenade around the battery. In the morning of Saturday anoth er party took the street cars at the foot of Broad Street for TBK MAO NOLI A ('KM ET V. 11V In a short time the city of the living, ?vitb its bustle and strife, wa< left, in the rcur, and tho mind became culm and solemnized in the quiet courts <>l the "city of the dead " The snot selected for this Cemetery, with its majestic oaks, its winding creeks, and the sweet music of tho forest choristers seeking an asylum fr>m the pursuit of the fowler, is emit) cut y picturesque and appropriate. Amid ail the monuments noted for their massive structure and antiqui ty, none excites more general inte rest nt this lime than that erected to the C< n federate dead. It stands in the. centre of about two acres of land, filled with small tombstones in regular rows, and as clo<c together as they can g?t, marking the renting places of our fallen braves. On' many of the^e little stones wo no ticed tke inscription ''Unknown/' What a volume in a word ! What a a picture of life? Unknown ! Yes unknown to lam ?, unhonored by men, but, how c mi diu ; t? f ? ? I. known to the great Invisible who is no respecter of persons, but crowns, in his kingdom the true and the faithful, no matter if their natu w are known or unknown to men. On Monday morning another party of pleasure seekers determined to take A I AMI51.E CJi JAMES ISLAND which may now be jtiotly styled the ganfeu spot of the State, a'I honor to the old planters who have su -coeded where the boasting and enterprising Yankees* have tailed. We crossed the Ferry in a little canoe, and landed on tho other side at Stiler?' Point. The t.de was so low that the boat could uot he brought within a qnar or of terra Ii nil i, au I the party was ob'iged to he carried to slior? on the hack of Luffie. Space lorbids giving au account of the sue cess of farming on ibis I-Ian 1. It is liom .r)U to 1U0 per cent. bet<-er than anything that was ever realized on this Island before the war whou pros perity reigned, and probably exceed* tho farming of any other part of the State. The manuring is very high , Fifty dollars is the average expendi tire per acre to b;in,r the. crops to market. 1 he average yield of cotto n is 8100 per acre. Farming is not tho only industry. One man supplies Charleston daily with 400 quarts of milk. The stock is excellent. Toe prosperity extends to all, Tho ne groes even are buying land. Tha farmers are Gliding places on their own farms where they can live with perfect health all the year round. There Is an association on this is'and which links (Jrangobur^ with the low country. Among the b it to nes around Srcessionville aud on tha island is one at Stilus' Point, nan ? 1 Battery Glover, in honor of the lata guliaut Lieutenant Colonel of Simon ton's regiment, and son of our beloved townsman Hon. T. W. Glover. On Wednesday tho remnant of the excursionists returned to < traugoburg. Thus ended what was to many, pro bably tho pleasahtejt occuion of tho ye ar.

A Jljstorloni* I>onth We are informed by Mr. John S. Rows, that Mr. John Gissendanncr went to Little Bull Swamp to bathe on last Saturday, a nd not returning search was made for him on Sunday. He was finally found in the above gtream in water about six inches deep dead.

Tue Exhibitlon On la>t Friday evening of Mr. H. G. Sheridan's school was a pleasant diversion to our usually quiet town. The preparations iu the morning on the part of the 'adies in decorating the hall, und of the children moving about nervously awaiting their or .deal, attracted an appreciative audi en .e at the Court Boom in tho even ing to witness the exercises. The stage vas decorated by tho lady friends of the school with ever- J greens and flowers, and tho word "Welcome" gracefully hanging on the l ack ground, greeted each visitor on entering. The music furnished by the Quin tette Club was excellent. In fact their music is always good on every occasion, and to praise them is only to repeat an old story. Wc would prefer not to make any distinctions betweon the scholars where all did their best, ami he who does his best does well; angels can do no more. Still, when such distinc lions are made, it should not bo con strued a? a disparagement of the rest* All cannot be fir.?t; iiivi it often happens in tho main race of life, that the first shall bo last, ami tho last, first, 'ix.^rs^-f,^vM.,i.?J^m^r-r.LjLJi??ss'JBS? sues 1 .

The iioniacb is abet ted with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral arc costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the bend is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy srnsation in the back port. There i.s generali) a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet arc cold or burning, and he complains of a pri< kly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits arc low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the i.ivkr to have been extensively deranged. + ACT i; AND FEVER.
