Siblin.e Assurance. The resolutions ofTered by St raker at the Webster meeting held on the Eourth of July on his private grounds for the purpose of perpetuating the slander against the whites, which Dr. Wf bftorpublished in the N. Y. "Tri bune" a few months ago, wore order ed to be published in tbo Times, the K. Y. "Tribune," and the "Demo crat,'' and lor this purpose were brought to our office yesterday. If the resolutions can tailed any arguments or proof rebutting or at tempting to lebut what has been proven against Webster, we would pnblith lb em; but they are nothing but a volume nf clap-trap expressing the feelings of l)r Webster's political followers, drnwn together by the ex pectation of a big Fourth of July dirner, and unsubstantiated by a single proof. The object is to let this one sided document, the embodiment, of the spleen of the Webster-Straker clique against the present regime 61 the Clnfiin Uuiversity, go out as tbo voice of the colored people. This clique is oppnspd t0 t\\e educa - tion of the colored people by the State, and interpose every irupadi ment they can. We want facts, not feelings, and vhile we are ready lor arguments, we cannot fill our paper with such senti mental trash, especially when under lying the whole an unwarrantable intuit is intended for our people. The Temperance lie Nie. Nearly a half score of milos from Orangeburg, the cause of temperance is encouraged by a lodge, xrhijdi has been in Etuoss'hl n| nation for Rome tiite. In order to rxtend its ii.flu er.ee, give its n <n brrs a fete, ccli biatc the national holiday, and afford rn ijjoitunity fer a'l ro inclined to past ihe day in s? ci?l enjoyment, the friends of the order determined on a pic-nic for the Fourth. The motives assigned are merely rpcculntive, none having been dis tinctly stated; however, it in general ly understood that there arc reasons tnough for any numbor of plensuro loving mortals to assemble together ?I any given time or place. In ibis instance they proved suflicient to draw a large crowd to the spit so lected for the festivities. The h dge has a very pretty loca tion at Bethel Church on the public road to Urangeburg. and its appear ance was greatly enhanced by the preparations made in the surround ing grove for this occasion. Aftern tale arrival end a survey of the grounds, an invitation was ex tended lor all present to enter tbo Church, where we were soon seated in eager 'expectancy. The Good Templars, wearing thrir regalia, then entered in procession, and were called 1o order by the presiding officer, Mr. Dnvis, who began the exorcises t>y calling for tho opening ode, which was iollowed by n prayer from Uev. J. C.Bisfcll, the detervid!y popular young pastor of Bethel. "Welcome > stranger" was then sung, after which ilr. Bissell introduced ns first nrntor of the day, Mr. Patrick of St. Mat thews, who delivered a short, but < flfelive, im yrt mplti address. IM v. O. A. Darby then hold the attention of the audience enchained by his masterly eloquence while de lineating the horrors of intemper r.nte, to which he patented the plena irg ui.liast of hap piness and pros perity insured by its opposing habits. His effort deserves more than a passing notice because of the interest aroused and the impression made on hie audience by his vivid pictures of life. Though necessarily severe, his speech was interspersed with humor suflicient to relievo the mind of tho painful tension induced by his more striking illustrations. Twenty years ago, Mr- Darbv numbered Rothe! among the Churches under his charge, and the revival of old associations, poh&ps, aroused a strong interest in speaker and poople. Mr. J. J. Woodward of Fort Motte, an earnest advocate of tho cause, and a well-known lecturor in the field, next entertained the audience for sometime on the same theme, which was handled in his usual satiafa-tory manner. Hiscpoech closed thecxer vhrt, which weie highly appreciated and th? Good Templars may well congratulate themselves upon the lUCCfIS attending the fulfillment of their interesting programme. When using the word 'festivities," there is always a lurk ing suspicion that the idea of a feast is somehow associated therewith, and, if, in as signing motm-s lor everybody's pro mice on that occasion to participate in the said festivities, any agreeable suggestions of said feast occurred to any one who noticed tho enumeration a* a jossiblr, or probable reason for attending?mind you, they did not come from the writer. Hut?if such visions were conjured up in tho imagi nations of some expecting to partici pate?why, they were not disappoint ed, and if my statement is not accept ed, you can obtain information from energetic oldorly gentleman in the linen ulster who seemed the presid ing genius when the feast arrived, and ?ho, I know, can positively ae-ert, that if any were disappointed, it was not his fault, nor because of any improvidence on the part of the managers. The friends of temperance having contributed theii full quota to the general entertainment of the day in the exercises of the morning, the ample least, and an uniim't-ed supply of iced lemonade (which was not the usual delusion passed off at pic-nici), the guests were left to their own resources in the afternoon which were so "various" as to require a more versatile pen than that wielded by your correspondent, who can only make the vague statement that games were now resorted to, juvenile sports being indulged in to a considerable extent. The children of larger growth amused th niseives with some, which being too astute for my comprehen bion, beggars description. Tho young ladies nnd gentlemen etood aroend in a circle, but why they did, sinco neither the press nor the clorgy knew, it is impossible for me to say, as their ihjet t was undered in a language unknown, uril ithcuable. Willi a view to pt.Liication for the benefit of others as nuuh puzzled and as desir ous id* enlightenment at myself, I mildly ask cd the master of ceremon ies, a young man with dread black eyes and Bert e aspect, who seemed to he a proficient, for a translation. With giave, icservcd aspect, he uurely nadc ike remark that he was always a blank and would always bo > one as lcaig ns hs was,?which remark did not throw much light on the sub ject. Doubtle.'S, he thought we c > uld not understand even if he stopped to explain, and took that method of silencing our inquisitiyeness. Will somebody ttans'ate? I submit all tho words of this strange language which "the press" assisted by thro e reporters wa* cnablo to catch : Hink Tum. Rink Tum, Toodle Dom, Kink Tum, Rink Tmu, Toodle Dum Khee, llivoo Dull Lab, liivoo Dull Lah, llivee. While the majority of us were inno cent spectators of these mysterious revels, others were engaged in fishing, not that Fdisto or any other stroam is adjacent, but my information was authentic, and far bo it from me to cast an aspersion on the veracity of its source. If our explanation of the kind of fishing alluded to is called fur also, I refer you to the old bache lor (he did Jive an old b acheler a nnmricr of ycurs, but changed hie estate finally; who was present, nnd is the samo who remarked oa a former occasion, ''One might lose n great many hooks, break a number of lines, and spring uiuny canes, but if one kept on fishing, one would catch a trout at last." Probably he spoke from experi ence, or perhaps his knowlodge was acquired merely from long observa tion of the habits of the fisheraud the freaks of the trout, especially its shy ness. Indulge me a little further, Mr. Editor, aud I will make way for my superiors. On arriving at the pic-nie, I heard that a representative of tho Orange burg TlalES was present iu full force, prepared tu take notes end furnish the public with an elaborate descrip tion of the day's proceedings from tho very fountain head, as it were, of tho news-current. Scanning tho audience cloiely (this is to console) only one who may havo resentfully thought herself or himself the subject of mark ed inspection), no one escaped scruti ny, but the familiar features of the alert newspaper man ware not to dj seen. Wondering greatly over this, an investigation followed, but you can guess the result before I can tell you. Of course he was at his pest, he did his duty nobly, and iu discharging tho important trust imposei on him, he not only braved the opposition of tho public, but even, with unselfish zeal, entored into a contest with sovera 1 youthful, but adventurous spirit- that dared to interfere with his avocation. In tho lodge was a box of lemons, a barrel of ice, nnd au unlimited sup ply of sugar. To guard those from tho inroads of a thirsty public, and to r?fresh the fail hful private, until the hour for goneral distribution, was a herculean tatsk, from which the representative of the Oraugcburg Times did not shrink back appalled. He sacrificed himself to that stern ?duty until the afternoon recrea iom diverted public attention, when he was liberated to see his friends and hear ot the day front a repoiter he engaged. He was an interested spec tator of the "Kink Turn," but gave it I up as a conundrum, for this solution ! of whh h wo nre indebted to the quiet, modest young man, who kindly gave the above quotation to the aforesaid representative and your correspond ent who was told by the latter that he heard a certain address was most excellent and deeply regretted that he was pressed into duty elsewhere. But I have my opinion about that. Mignonette. "Survivors' Association." A meeting of the Survivors or the "Edisto Rifles" of Hagood's (1st S. C. V.) and Simonton'b (25th S. C. V.)

Grange Resolutions) At the meeting of Pomona Grange held at Washington Grange ou lust Saturday, tho following preamble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, much of the poTerty and destitution of the farming classes is owing to their isolated condition, and a c< neequent lack of general infor mation; and whereas, only by social intercourse, congenial sympathy nnd every day needful information may be obtained; nud only by union of means and efforts can tho beat markets ai/d cheapest supplies be secured; and whereas^ our Grange meetings are designed to break up tho solitary separation of families; to give <o all the information which each has acquired concerning the best methods of fanning, housekeeping.

Mr. Hack's School at Lewisvillc Editor ' ranijthing Times: While accounts of other schools are being set before the public, wo deem it proper to say a word or two in regard to our tchnol here in the little tow u of St Matthews. Our teacher, Nl r. Jno. K. Mack, opened a school here two years since ui der somewhat discouraging cirouin stances, having only eight or ten pupils at fir t, but by his faithful labors and untiring energy, the icho >l has prospered and found its way to the hearts o f the people. On Friday evening last the patrons and friends were invited to attend the closing exercises of the school. Immediately after 2 o'clock the examination of the various cl.?5?? began, beginning with the j,n a'lor children. These acquitted themselves admirably well in spelling, reading, writing an 1 working sums on the black-board. When these had finish ed, the little bet tor advanced class was taken up and heard in Grammar, (?eographv, Counosition and Arith metic. Thus the examination continu ed until all the chil dren, frsmthe least to the greatest, were closely questioned in the various ."todies which they had prosecuted. East of al't but not least, enme the exorcise in declamation consisting of speeches and dialogues by the boys. Now, Air. Editor, had you been present. I am confidant you would agree with me when I say that the patrons were not only agreeably surprised, but highly delighted with tho manner in which these young , heroe? acquitted themselves in the art reif declamation. 1 he L tin classes I were not heard for want of timo. Thus ended the second scholast'c year of Mr. Mack's school at Liwis villc to the gra ificaiiou bath of pat rons and teacher. J. Lewiaville, S. C, July 3rd 1379.
