Editor ?rangeburg 2inte?* Having seen nothing in the Times from litis section in some time, ami having leisure, to-day, I thought 1 would give you a few items which i? iglit he interesting tu some of your | readers'. There has been nothing done to wards preparing for a crop in this section yet, from two reasons; first, the extremely ecltl weather, and second, From the general indisposi tion of the colored laborers to con tract. They all seem to be waiting for something, and none know what, unless It, is frit* better bargains. Tneru have been several cases <> burglary t! ibis community lately Mr. J. N. Wise's house was broke: into about a week ago, some iuoiioa and other articles were stolen. Mr. Glenn Oliver's house was also robbed of about ten dollars, besides 1 he:;r ofseveral in?dances of potn inks being robbed. Mrs. Margaret Zaki'!, v f M of Mr. Allen Zakiel, of the Lint Stone neighborhood, died ienly at the resi tenets bei - :? < law, Mr. Fred Collins, whilhci sin bad glitte 6h a visit, on the night of the Bth of January. She cat suppei well and hearty, and in half ari hour she was a corpse. Mrs. Rebecca Heckle, the oldest female inhabitant of this community died at Mr. d.d. Zeigler's on the 22d of December last. Mr. John ('rim the oldest male inhabitant of the community, hns gone to Charleston to have his eyes operated upon. having suddenly lost his sight about (wo months ago. Rev.

The boy who blacks boots or sells' pipers in the streets to-day, is t|ti itc as likely to be a Senator thirty years hence as the "curled darling" in the finest residence in our West Knd. Mur ? than one ex-Senator has been dependent on private charity to ke< p hi.n out of the poor-house in Irs old age. There have been Senators who, in every (dement of manly character, in intellect, culture, manners and morals were far iiiferier to the menials who swept the Senate lloor. More than one or a dozen Senators have bought their way into that chamber. Almost it's many corporations as States have elected men to sit there. In this country, the bottom often gets on top, the top often gets' ,to the bottom. There are no ??rulers" here. The people select and hire men to perform certain duties which cannot he con veniently performed by all the people. A President, a Judge,' a Senator1, a Member of Congress is but life hir ed man of the sovereign people. And all this talk of rank is the sheerest nonsense that ever lie'led fools. There have been, and s.ill are, great men in the Senate, but their election did not create their great ness. There have b?eu, and arc still, small men in the Senate, for their election could uot so supplement the work of God to make them great. '?Pigmies tire pigi ie? slill though perched on Alpt, and pyramids ate pyramids in vain."? Wukhinyton I'ust. Not less thfin 100 members of the present Congress will retire to pri vatc life next March. Their eon i tutents failed to remember their "valuable services" at the recent clec tion, and few of them will pro: aid;, ever have another ?hance lo air then selves at Washington. Glory1 to God! In my boyhood 1 heard one of the most illustrious of American preach ers say to his people that he had been Compelled to neglect the spiritual nutrition of his own soul in the intellectual struggle to provide food for theirp. PICKED UP. We picked up a letter in the.street; theotl'jerdny, of which the following inn copy, cxceping the addresses. The owner cau have the original by calling at our olfice: Dlau Br?tiiers, Sisters! Cousins, Aunts^Uncles, etc.:?I now take my seal and set down to take this op portunity to infoitn you that I am "Daddy," that is, I suppose I airi, for Abbic fins got a nice fat baby, and we hops these few lines will find you enjoying the same groat blessings. Now this is to be a strictly business letter. Firstly! as 1 said before, Ab ide Imsgot as nice a baby as ever made up faces. Nextly, I have swapped awn\ old Buckskin, and think I have got a pretty nice horse, it is a little girl and weighs nine pounds [I mean the baby,] and is just as rat astbutter, and has got a good strong pair of lungs; she is red and got a bobtail [the horse I mean], and a white strip in her face, and is a goo . driver; she has got blue eys and a lituple'in her chin (I mean the baby now), and just the prettiest mouth that ever vs-as (cf course), and judging from her teeth I should think j she was about six years old [I mean i the horse now); she is sound, smoothc and kind (I mean the horse or baby either, (how) and the doctor suis sin is the faires he oversaw, without any exception (he means the baby). I got. 25 dollars to boot, not in the baby scrape, tho*, for the bVot was on the other foot, ^nd two or three sizes larger as near us I can find out. I am going to harness the lior.se now, and go after mother; she was born last Weduesdecy night, 20 minutes past nine (I hope you dont think 1 mean mother or the horse, I mean the baby}.-" She is as hearty as a pig, a' e a:r egg, a bif^'uit, and drank three cups of tea for her dinner (I mean Ahlde). She is getting along nicely, and if she don't have anv bad luck f she will get* along fust rate. She is rather windy,and they say that is a sign of colic ( I mean the baby]. i( hope it is, Tor the nurse says col icy : babies never die. She talks through her (nose) ps she takes snail* (the nuss 1 mean now ). There. I've been reading this over, and I sec plainly that I ain't fit to write. The amount of it is, I am Hustratcd; I am daddy and that ac counts for it, so you must excuse me this time. Sam. Daddy. "A GOVERNOR WHO CAN'T SWIM." Und? r this startling side head the Ncwbcrry llrmlil gives a thrilling no count ofGovernor llagood's narrow escape from a watery grave on the 1st instant. The HeroA/ says thai while the Governor, in the absence of the ferryman, was "paddling his ow n canoe" over the swollen Salttda tin immense ice Hoc struck his frail craft amidships, caused it to "take water" several times and almost made Gen. Kennedy Governor. Now tili? II.' >;/(/ mail is mistaken? Governor Uagootl is always on top. He spent a considerable poi tiou of his boyhood in Turkey Creek and can outswini a didapper and otitclimb a catsquirrcl. Rarnwell never raises boys who can't swim ??aniuiefi I 'eopfe. Iuto one of our largest dry goods stores entered a gentleman, the other day, ami with the air of one who had been used to this sort of thing all his life, you know, he said to the as tonished sales woman: "Give me a yard of maroon-colored flannel to mutel habt, please." Correcting hiinseli'ltastily, ho began again: "I beg pardon; I mean a yard of Hun net 0 thatch1 a maroon colored baby? here (producing;, bit of flaouel from his vest podket), I want a yard of that." It's hope that keeps us up, It's hope that keeps bur memories green, 1 I'm hope tliai keeps our lives sublime, It's soap that keep* us clean. I Yonktrt Cmttie. mm ? mmm - - Veuibou ia plentiful, but deer as nsual HOW II?SII PEASANTS MVE? The dens, misnamed cot?, in which ! the peasantry df Galway and -Mayo counties live ure merely stone shel ters. Owing to the intense ignor ance of the people they are not pro vided with any facilities for drain age, and are often incomparably li It by. The flodrs are of hard mtid; it is rare to find more than one room in si hut, and only one story. Beds and bedding are luxuries which the poorer tenants do not possess; old heaps of hay and straw are the couches on which the lovely, brown eyed, large-browed maidens of Cou naught repose. The smoke from a peat fire in a common peasant's cabin spreads through the room, and you narrowly escape strangulation your first visit. I have had this exper- j ienceill Herzegovina, and consequ ently minded the smoke but little. How family decency it maintained in these, dens i.s a mystery, and how the people manage to keep clean?for they look clean?is a puzzle. The pigs run in and out of the door, and such wretched pigs! A North Caro lina wild hog would be an aristocrat beside them! Iu dozens of these cabins sick people are to be found? sick people dependent either on the charity of their neighbors or on friends iu America who send them small sums. A gentleman in Gal way told me that the agents of land lords treated the poorer tenantry as if they were animals. He instanced the case of one agent who. on rent day, when any tenant was short a half a crown in his p yment, would knock the hYoney otr the table on the lloor, so us to humiliate the tenant before his fellows. Up to a very re cent date the better class of tenants would not have dared resent any such behavior; they were ready to fawn before the man who had insult ed them Now the tables are turned and the agent sneaks in and out among the people, taking per cent, less than the usual rental, if indeed he gets anything at all, and is glad to get away again out of the farming district with his head still on his shoulders. ? Letter in the BosUm Jour mil, THE HABIT OF SELF-CONTKOL. If there is one habit which, above all others, is deserving of cultivation it is that of self control. In fact it includes so much that is of value and j importance in life, that it may almost j be said that, in proportion to its pow er, does tin. man obtain hi., manhood and the woman her womanhood. The ability to identify seit with the high est parts of our nature, and to bring all the lower parts into subjection, or rather to draw them ail upward into harmony with the best that we know, is t he one cent ral power which sup plies vitality to'all the test. How to develop this in the child may well absorb the energy of every parent ? how t<> cultivate it in himself may well employ the wisdom and en thusiasm of youth. Yet it is no mysterious or complicated path that leads to this goal. The habit of self control is but the accumulation of continued acts of self-denial for a worthy object ; it is but the repeated authority of the reason over the im pulses, of the judgment over the in clinations, of tho sense of duty over the desires. He who has acquired t his habit, who can govern himself intelligently, without painful effort, and without any fear of revolt from his appetites and passions, lias with in him the source of all re.il power and all true, happiness. The force and energy which lie has put forth day by day, and hour by hour, is not j exhausted nor even diminished; on the contrary it has increased by use, and has become stronger and keener by exercise; and although it has al ready completed its work in the past, it is still his well tried, true and powerful weapon for future contlietH in higher regious.~7VtiA/rfr//#Ai<j TEXAS TO BE DIVIDED. It is reported from Texas thut at the ensuing cession of thii I i?? isht ture of thai: Sit'sit pi proyLlon will be made for tboerea?ou of throe now States, as stipulated in iIn* tcim of the joint resolution annexing Texas to the Union. lkt is held that if tho Legislat ure creates the new States no objection can be made to their ad mission, as the joint resolution cd* Congress expressly provides that "iiew States, of convenient'size, not exceeding four in number, in addi tion to the said Stale of Texas, bo formed out of the territory! thereof. Only the consent of Texas, it is claim ed, is necessary, as the consent of tho United States is given ill advance by the terms of the resolution of annexa tion. There is suflieicut population in Texas tc entitle each of the three n-.'W State* to two members of the House, w h urea's only one is necessary, and the fourth new Stute, it is held, can be created at any time hereafter. Three new States out of Texas terri tory would give the Democrats ."rix more Senators. It would be a good thing ft..- the Democrats, to be sure, but no one here believes that tho Re publicans iu Congress would stand 1 by the literal terms of the resolution! of annexation. If, as reported, the Texas Legislature makes the three new States, as proposed, the six gentlemen upon whom senatorial honors may be conferred will have u good time waiting to get in tho Sen ate.
