We left Orangeborg this morning ut 81 o'clock, and nothing o( special interest has presented itself to ih d tr ing the day. When we say that we left Orangeburg we do not mean that f-hc, Oianguhurg, has fur ouo hour been out of our minds to day. i'he pleasant, recollection-] of the place With all its fond associations loom up bclorc us to ui<diL, and we almost wish we were back at the old Burg.

The "glorious fourth" has been fully expatiated upon; there is n >ro en left for us to say any thing more. W e are just now beginning to appreciate the pleasant positions in which editors Hud themselves placed these wann days with nothing to write tibout, and no body foolish enough to go out and bang himself, in < rder that thry may have a local for their next issue. Now, if there was a poli tical warfare going on in our .State could i not write?

From the mtirmurings wc heard to-day along the line of thc'Charlo' te. Columbia and Augn la ll.ii road, wc would suppose (hat a war was being waged. A. war not. of one political parly against another, nor o no sec tion of tin- country against the other, but of the people rising in their might, in their sovereign capacity against the above mentioned road, which has extorted from tlicni exor bitant freight rates for l>! l!i >s : many years. The prop!.; have b >rn ! these extortions until they can boar them no longer. The people are aroused; they are detenu in id to have task-masters over them no longer, and the C. C, und A. Road may realize at lasl thai it is hot beyond the 11 ach of law, and can not violate its charter to the detriment of the people with impunity. The pcop'o should well consider the principles involved in the settlement of this Railroad ipicslion, for it must bj settled at some time not very distant. We have a fair i I lust ration in the S. 0., Railroad, bow a road may pass beyond the control of the people; tin ugh it runs through their lands and might do material damage to I heir property, yet nol a Court ol the State can lay its authority upon this, road. Wow, Mr. Editor, about the crops and I am done. Thcisc arc something in which we are n't interested, for upon the productions of the soil do peiids the prosperity of our country. Prom what we could see of the crops between Columbia and this place they will be failures as compare 1 with last year. Corn seem* very much damaged for want of rain. Cotton is small, and in many places the drought has been so severe that the trees huvo the appearance of having been visited by ii scorching lire. It is truly j; pitiful si^ht to see so many farms ruined for this year, for the want of rain. '1 he best crops 1 have yet seen are in Orangcblirg County. As an agricultural County I am willing to put her against any County in either of the Carolinas with the belief that she .will come oil' as the banner ('oil nly. We f pen Ii of 'hard times'' in Ornhgchurg, but limes arc easy there when compared with many Counties and towns in thoStutO. The farm3 in Orangchurg so far as wo have seen, show signs of judi cious cultivation. The crops there are being diversified more each year, and this we candidly beliovo may bo in a great, part attribute I to the w:sa counsels of the Agricultural .Vssojia tion. Orangchurg County may well be proud of her leading farmers. With this much, Mr. Editor, for your readers, allow mc silently to enjoy while 1 can, the pure uir ol this mountain section. \v.

They came with resolute purpose and des perate desire; but thay wcro crushed in the (lush of joy und pride. Nightly I hey advanced upon us?nightly they st lo our pCttCC?abd f! d, tllO cowards lied as wc st irted up in ire to rev< ngc our i. juries,?oven a- wo rose in stormy wrath, they return0*1 to their strongholds and laughod us t> ' scorn. Hut they arc fallen tuid great was the fall of tin m. Long bad wc endured their mockeries, lung bad we listened to their taunts, long did we] submit to their insults ami injuries,? but at last are we avenged. It was in the stillness ofthe night that heard them coming to renew lb sir depredations. Solitude an 1 silence reigned supremo, darkness covored the face of the earth, thick darkness covered the fields. "The low wind came wailing through the pitio trem, J ever ami anon rising in a deep .sob, or i sinking Jjito a dull moan as if the with some mysterious sorrow." And now wj heard their distant trump as they came iii pvido and conscious power to the scene of their midnight robbcri >. Hut we were prepared to receive them; wo defeated tltoir hopes, wc rci)clled their attack.-, we cut off their retreat, sciziid their strongholds, and advanced upon them shouting the battle-cry of victory. They are routed, with haste and terror they lice, but, lo! their path is intercepted?they turn in great fear and trembling?hut ive rush u| on them and ere they are aware of their danger one of their number lies 1) teding at our feel. Now they rea lize their situation and the rout is general?they fly hither ami thither ? they retreat behind each available fortress, but all in vain?these are inadequate to shield them from the lury of our blows. One more suc cessful raid on our part, und lo!| another veteran falls beneath our oft-, repeated strokes. And now the sole survivor of tha fray collects all his energies and brings all bis cunning to rivort our last concentrated effort to destroy the foe, Long docs he bafile our skill, meet strategy with strategy, cunning with cunning. Long do we strike in vain, but at length does victory perch upon oui banner ?the last bloody ioe lid?gasping be fore us. The enemy is no more and once again does fair peace reign. The enemy fought long and bravely, but justice was on our side;justice and righteous indignation directed oiir blows.

T, Sara Antic Dorsey, of Tcnsas parish, Louisiana, being aware of the uncertainty of Ii e, and being now in sound health of mind and body, do make this my last will and testament, which I write, sign and seal with my own hand, in the presence of ibree competent witnesses, as I possess pro perty in the Stales of Loui-ia.ia, Mississippi and Arkansas. I owe no obligation of any sort whatever to any relative of my own; I have doao all I could for ihem du ring my life. I, therefore, give and bequeath all my property, real, personal and mixed, wherevei located and situated, wholly and entirely without hindr.ricti or qualification, to my most honored and est cmcd friend, Jefferson Davis, ex-Presidcutof the C ?n federate St ties, for his own sole use an 1 benefit, in fen simple, forever; and 1 hereby con stitute him for sole heir, executor a'td administrator. If Jefferson Davis should not survive me, I give all that I have bequeathed him to his young est d uighter, Variiia. L do uotinten ! to share in the ingratitude of my country toward the man who is in my eyes the highest and noblest in exist ence. In testimony whereof I sign this will, written with my own hand,in the presence of W. L. Waltlmll, F. S. IIewes and John C. Craipr, sub scribing witnesses, resident in Harri son county, Miss. (Signed) Sara Axxe Donat.y. The scene iu the Court room was very impressive. The opening of th3 ^LofIbrsmi'?D by a^V large number of ladies and gentle men. When it became known through out the Court house that Jefferson Davis wa> present, tho clerics of Curt, ihe lawyers and all who happjtiel t.) be in the building, hastened to gaza upon and pay a tribute of respect to the honored representative of the Lost Cause, so that in a few minutes the room was densely crowded When the formalities of the law bad boon gone through and the illustrious lega tee of Mrs. Dorsey walked away, every hat was lifted and every head was bowed in token of silent respect. ? X. 0. />< mocrat, 21st. ' ?mm* ? ' ? Bill Txoalment for Ihfune Criminals. Tho follow ing short article, takeu from nn exchange, on the treatment for insane people, who use that plea after taking human life, is worth ser ious consideration by tho law m ikers of this country : "The suggestion that the explosion on board the steamer Drew was plann ed and produced by a man not in his right mind naturally brings up for discussion the subject of the pro per treatment of insane criminals. If this man is insane, there is suffi cient method iu his madness to render him very dangerous to other people if he is left at large The safety of others requires that ho should bo re strained ot his liberty. How long ? Wc think for the tonn of his natur al life. We believe that any person who has oucb manifested homicidal mania should always afterward be kept, under that strict degree of restraint, which is necessary to guard ng dust the possibility of another and fatal manifestation of the same mauia. So we bohl that when a prisoner charged with murder in the first do grco is acquitted on the sole, ground of insanity, he should be imprisoned during the entire term of bis natural life ?not as a punishment to him, but because it is essential to the protec tion of others." ?'Gin Sling is the name of a Chin ese, student at Yale preparing himself for the bar."
