Its course is onward*?ever onward until it assutiles the proportions of a river.

It ?nlttitittCH to flow calmly for Iniles, until suddenly i.t falls, some three or four feet over a lodge of rocks* The fa!! of Pleasant Riveris not a Niagara, but it has its own pie luresqilC beauty. Instead of the granite clilfs of Niagara, we see a pine forest. Instead of rainbows pro duced by the reilectiou of the. sun's rays on the columns of spray, we see the vines or the yellow jessamine climbing to the topmost brnnchos'of the trees. The song of the modletng bird is heard above the noise of the falling water. ? ' A short distance below the Kails, some capitalist b.-is erected an exten sive mill, and will no doubt maki a fortune, but with that we have noth ing to do. We will go on a mile further to the lif le toWII of Plcasunlvillu, which takes its name from the river, and an appropriate one it is. The -streets are uot numerous, but they are wide and well shaded. [The dwellings tire Mostly cottages; there are it few houses of greater propor tions, ami all have wide pniizzus and tall shade trec.-v Oil ii retired street. Where the elms rival those of New Haven, is a particularly pretty cottage. Its llow er garden and every thing around iti is in the Heiltest order. Two ladies are sitting on its vino covered porch, enjoying the perfumed | air. The sun has disappeared be bind the pities, and a servant Pomes out with n tray, and places it on a table near thorn, dust at that mo ment a buggy Stopped at the gale, and an old gentleman with white hair and beard, comes up the gulden walk. Until ladies arose to meet him. ?I am very ghid to see you Or. Simpson.' said t he older lady. "It is such an unexpected pleasure," the young lady said. ''Phis is not a professional visit,' said Dr. Simpson. 'I do not think either of you can need medicine, when you are about to partake of such a tempting repast.' 'Willyou join us Doctor?' 'Certainly Mrs. Gray, I will not object to a cup of tea and a taste of your nice cake,' After chatting awhile, the Doctor said, 'this porch is so delight fully ! cool, and the company so agreeable, I had almost forgotten what I wanted to say, when 1 came in. I feel that my health is declining ? I am not as strong as I used to lie, and I need rest,' 'I must have help, and I have made arrangements with Dr. Golo to come and asnist nie. I expect my patients will rebel at lirst, but after they In come well acquainted with him, they will give him the preference.) 'I must beg you Doctor, never to send that young man to me, 1 want some one of more experience when 1 am sick, and I tell you once for all, I cannot employ a young Doctor.' '.My dear madam, if every one were of your opinion there would be no experienced physicians. How can a young man become experienced, if no one will employ him?1 Turning to the young lady he said, 'I do not think Miss Pauste will ob ject to young Doctors.' Yes sir 1 do, and if 1 should he so. unfortunate as to require medical treatment, I hope you will send no one in your place' 'When do you expect your assist I tint?' inquired Mrs. Gray. 'To-roorrow, or ho ma} possibly he bore to-night.' T must be going, and in a few "months hence, I will expect both of you to entertain a very different opin ion of Dr. Cole.' Mrs. Gray was the widow of a clergyman. Soon after her husband's j death, she made her home in Poas antville, and devoted herself to the education of her daughter, who was a child of more than ordinary intel lect, and Mrs. Gray wr.s fully compe tent to the undertaking. The years had passed happily, and Pauste was now a young lady, as bright and beaiitiful as the'flowers for which she was named. Who does not love the dear little Patisics. They are the first to greet us in tho early spring; and when we see them looking so bright and cheer ful wc know that winter is over. They linger w ith us until the chill breath of autuinu withers their beau ty, then they bow their heads and leave us. But Pansie Gray was bright and beautiful all the year round. Stim mer and winter she was the same lovable being. It was not surprising that she should have many friends and ad mirers.

'You will have to recall your thoughts from their wanderings, and bring them back to reality, for here comes your old friend Robert Morton.' 'I did not know you bad returned.' said Pansie, after salutations had been exchanged. 'I arrived last night, and am gi id to get home again.1 '1 am very glad to have you back.' Pansie said. *Are you really glad Pansie?1 'Certainly 1 am. just as glad as if you were mv I?rot her.' 'We always miss you when you leave home,1 said Mrs. Gray. '1 did not think 1 was of sufficient importance, for my absence to be noticed by any one.' 'Whut an humble opiliton you have of yourself.

Have I ever been wanting in my attentions to you,1 asked Robert, 'Oh! no,1 replied Pansie,] you have always beeil ii dear good brother. We never disagree, but you and Jessie are constantly disptitiWg.' 'It is because, Jessie teases me, and von do not; and she is too inquisi five.

Editor Orauyebitry 'lime* : I enclose you the following in re gard to the business prospects in our town and County, which I hope you will publish: Since the war our people had more to contend with than any other Coun ty in the Strite. The frauds coin in it ted and money squuudcrcd by Radicals ami Carpet-baggers was enormous; the people were crushed down by taxation. Even at this pre sent time, our political condition is far from being satisfactory. To make this communication as short as possible, T will give the business out look of this place. We have several large stores, who keep general merchandise, among which are two'of.the handsomest and extensive dry goods stores, kept by two young and enterprising gent lo inen. Theodore [Colin and Henry Kuhn. ?Mr. <?'. H. Cor nelson has the la rg est and most extensive store that is kept in ?<ny inland town in the State. Jlis sales cannot amount to less than % lot),000 per annum, and hiiiy reach $200,000. Mr. Cornelson employs 10 clerks and besides about <"> porters and teamsters. This present sea sou be has already shipped 1100 bales of cottoil, and will by the cud of j tin* season have shipped fiom 15 to 8000 bales. Mr. (Yirnt'lsou's store, factory and outbuilding- occupy al most a whole square, lb* has just completed several brick buildings intended for a cotton factory. All that is wanted now is the machinery. When the factory goes into opera tion, he will employ from .">() to 70 hands. Air. ( ornelson is a man of great enterprise, helping largely to make up this town ami make it prosper. Mr. .1. ('. Pike does a very exten sive business. He is a man of a large heart, and enjoys the confidence of all the people of this County. Mr. Pike is one id'the largest cotton buyers in Orangeburg, and -ell- :i large quan tity of goods, and i> daily increasing his business, lb- dc&erves to suc ceed. Messrs. Hull tint! Seoville are among the oldest merchants in the town, and do a business on a most substantial basis, including cotton buying, banking and merchandise. They are sate and far seeing Ii nan eies and prudent business men. I). Louis is probably the oldest inert bant in the place, ami is doing a solid business. Space forbids my mentioning the nil hi her of younger and thriving merchants who are building up our town by. their energy and enterprise. Wo could mention Walker. Webb Rull. Smoak. Ucneker, Kirk Robinson. Eros, Schilllcy, N an Tassel I, DeMars. A Ibergott i, Thonip son, Sorent rue and others, but we forben Vi Messrs d. Strauss iV Co., is anoth er enterprising firm. They have a Rice Mill in this place, and Saw Mills in the neighborhood. They employ u large uumber of hands. They ship Rico to different points in this State and into (leorgia. They h?we- ?mlnrgod their M)ll by adding new machinery to the amount, of $2000. We have fotif livery ^tables, two brick and lumber yards, three Bar ber ?hops, four Drug stores, three mii^?n? female Poh?vdp, Rftd an | Agricultural College for colored people. By the 1st October another jewelry and watchmaker store will he opened here. We also have n marble yard just opened by Mr. 0. M ny hew. Orangebtlrg Is the third largest business place on the South Carolin?. R. R., \i/.: Columbia, Augusta Orangeburg. The receipt? and shipments of cotton at this Depot this season, up to 1 Sth Sept. are fully 32.00 bales. Besides MV.J fa. II. Cornclson ban purchased COttOU ill the seed equal to 300 bales, which inakes a total of this year's crop marketed 6f3500 bales, the value of which fimotints to $1 07. 500, Within a few days past sohie very valuable property has changed bands. Mr. J. C. Pike purchased a lot whereupon lie will at one*; erect a large brick store, and on the oppo site corner Mr. T. 1), Wolfe wdll also put up an extensive brich building. Another gentleman purchased a large lot in the upper portion of the town, with the intention of erecting stores. Capt. Bell has just finished 3 brick stores, which are all rented. Orangeburg County is next to Charleston County in population,' having 40,000 and the village2100. ()ih> great drafw back, we have in this town, is that. We have no banking facilities. Had we a bunk it would add very* much to bur busi ness prosperity 1 would also mention that there is a large business done in this County in making Turpentine und Rosin, all of which is shipped from this point to ('boldeston. In conclusion, T wotfld sav we want enterprising men to come liefe? w here they can employ their capital to ad vantage. We want 500,000 immi - grants in South Carolina, and sonic ..et),,.... in tliiu Cmintv t<> hell) us to developo the resources of our Hi a re. As to their political status. We can only say. that their political opinion will make no difference, as long as they are law abiding citizens. Tlloy will find that they will be respected and well eared for. We have one very peculiar estab lisbmeut in this town. It is different from any other in any country town. Mr. ('. 1), Kortjoltu keeps a cheap cash store. Nothing goes out of his store wit bout the money down. Mr. K. has agents in Charleston, Balti more and New York, who make pur chases for him. for cash, when ever bargains are oft' ?red. This enables him to sell at remarkably low figures. .Mr. Kortjohu sells enormous quanti ties of goods at very low figures. In fact the most of hifc goods are sold fur less money than they can be manufactured. These are fuels und we know what we are saying cannot be cont roycrtud. Ornngchtirg has a Steam Pi re Engine. l'ci.ix. THE b'OSI'Kb ON TltK STAtJE. The Passion Play, a theatrical re prcscntat ion oft 'brist upon the earl h, will lie produced for the first time in New York in 1 leceinbcr. The first representation was given in San Francisco a few months ago. and so great was the discussion, division of opinion ami excitement in reference to it that the managers, after live weeks rendering, withdrew it from the stage. It is now to he reproduced in New York with the Crucifixion omitted. The death of ?lohn, the Baptist, with the scene of the offering of his head upon a charger to King Nerod; the Last Supper; the Garden of Getliesefnaue; the arraignment before Pontius Pilate, and the A see isinn, will be among the Bible pictures presented. It is a revolution which will elicit great discussion and sharp criticism. Mr. Morsd the manager ssys that he wdll endeavor in every way to separ ate from the performance t he idea of the theatre. He says he thinks he will do good and is enthusiastic on the subject. The Ticket Pistols aunt Whisky?Farm Improvements.

As soon as the circumstances be came known, the citizens of Reaves' Township held a public meeting, in w hich they drew up resolutions de nouncing'the conduct of Mr. Evans, and highly commendatory of (.'apt.
