Thus might every member of the Suater Light Infantry have expressed himself last Wednesday morning. And the palmn for beauty and grace, we are informed, was car .ried -offby the fair ones from Fulton. Now girls don't get jealous, for beauty is only rela tive,, and perhaps, your turn might come yet.

Auld has received a notice from the Adjutant and Inspector General that he will inspect the Volunteer Troops of the State in this County at Sumter, on Thursday, June 15 th. The inspection at.Manning will be on the 16th, and at Camden on the 20th. Section 29 of the Militia Laws of the State reads as follows: "There shall be held once in each year an Inspection of Troops and military property in every County of the State ; and all Compa nies of Infantry and Artillery not producing 30 officers and men, and Cavalry Companies less than 24 officers and men present and in good, condition for service, shall be dis banded." Section 33, provides that "All appropria tions which may be made for promoting the organization and efficiency of the militia of the State, other .ban those needed for the imm?diate use of the Department of the Adju tant and Inspector General, shall be distrib uted between and among the several Counties of the State in the proportion of their Repr? sent?t: ves in the House of Representatives; Provided, that where no organization exists, the funds shall be in the control of the Adju tant and Inspector General." ' 11 tm ? I in? The S. L. I.'s Anniversary. The anniversary of the Sumter Light Infan try, on last Tuesday, will ever be remembered as a most pleasant occasion. The Richland Volunteer Rifle Company, having arrived on a special train, at 11 A. M-, were escorted by the S. L. 1., to Music Hall, where, after a few short and well worded speeches, and general hand shaking, lunch and punch were indulg ed in according to the inclination of the re spective members of both companies. At half past three o'clock the "Columbia Boys" were taken to the Jervey House where they found everything inviting aud good for the "inner man'* spread before them. . In the afternoon both companies, under th? Command of Capt. Richbourg, were paraded on Monumental square. The Ball that evening was a grand success and reflects no little credit on Capt. Auld and tberaembers of the Sumte- Light Infantry. At four o'clock on Wednesday morning the Richland Volunteers boarded their train and bid adieu to Sumter, after having received three load cheers from the S. L. I. ? The following account of the visit of the Ricbland Rifles on this occasion, is taken from the Columbia Register: The speci*! train which left here on Tues day at 8 A. M. carried the Richland Rifles under command of Captain R. N. Ricbbourg and numbering thirty rank and file, and h number of ladies and gentlemen as invited guests. Tbe train stopped a few moments at Eastover.. and on reaching Govewood, it was found that, owing to a misunderstanding as to the special train, the track layers had taken up the track and the train was delayed about an hour. Another delay from the same cause occurred a little further on, and the ex cursion party did not reach Sumter until about li.30. Here ibey were me? by the Sumter Light Infantry, commanded by Captain Auld, and a large concourse of the citizen* and ladies. The Rifles debarked promptly from the train, and, under escort of the Light Infan try, were marched up Main Street to Music Hall, opposite the Court House where they were formally welcomed in a neat speech by Captain Auld,"which was responded to in. a happy vein by Captain Ricbbourg. In the hall they found a bounteous collation prepar ed, to which full justice was done by the Co lumbia boys, and an hour spent in free social interconse between hosts and guests. It should be remarked just here that all who ac companied tbe Rifles?though not members of the company?received tbe same hospitalities extended to the members. After the collation tbe company was dismissed and all found quarters prepared for them and generous wel come at the Jervey House, such as only that prince of hotel men "Jervey" knows so well bow to give. Tbe company reassembled at the Music Hail at 3 P. M.,*aod marched back to tbe Jer vey House, where a dinner, one of Jervey's Surnterous dinners, awaited them, which they proceeded with their entertainers and a num ber of distinguished civilians to* discuss. After that came the post-prandial flow o spirits in toasts and speeches. The first toast, "Our guests," was offered by Capt. Auld and responded to oy Mr. Ruger on behalf of the Richland Volunteers. Thesecond toast, "Our hosts," was offered by several persons simultaneously and re sponded to by Lieut. R. D. Lee. Lieut. Scott, of the Ricbland Volunteers, was called on and made a humorous address, which caused much laughter. The dinner was en livened, too, by many reminiscences of York town At five o'clock the light Infantry and Vol unteers assembled in front of the Court House and the command of the battalion was by courtesy turned over to.Captain Richbourg and drilled in co.npany and battalion evolu tions. Then they marched up Main street for several squares ; then passing by the left they manhed to the Confederate monument square, where they were halted to salute the memorial of our dead heroes. Here a pleasant episode occurred in the presentation by Lieutenaut Scott of the Vol unteers of a beautiful floral wreath, made by Mrs. D. McGuinniss of Columbia, to the Sum ter Light Infantry. It was received by Lieu tenant Wilson in a speech of burning eloquence. Captain Richbourg then carried the Volun teers through an exhibition drill, which was admirably performed and elicited <he ap plause of those who witnessed it. After the parade the company was dismissed and the members were individually taken charge of by their hosts and carried to their private residences to be entertained at tea, where each found some one or more of Sumter's fair daughters as a partner for the evening enter tainment at Music Hall. At 10 P. M. tbe company assembled at Music Hall, where a large concourse of the elite of Sumter and the adjoining Counties gathered to do honor to their guests. Shortly before tbe dancing commenced two young ladies,?Miss Green, a daughter of Dr. -Fred. Green, formerly of Columbia, and Miss Si?der, two of Su alters fairest belles,?pre sented a magnificent bouquet of Sumier's choicest flowers, in the name of the ladies, to Captain Richbcvrg and Captain Auld respec tively and the two brave soldiers were so deeply moved that they could only blushing ly and stammeringly make their acknowledg ments. Dancing began at 10.30. and the boys "danced all night till the broad daylight and went home with the girls in the morning.'* At 4 A. M. the train vas boarded for Co lumbia, and, without sin accident, the gay but tired party reached home in good time, filled with highes*t praise of the abound ing bospitallity of the military and cit izens of the beautiful "Flower City," and cherishing the most pleasant memories of one of the most delightful occasions ever enjoyed by them. The Sumter Light Infantry were invited to be present at the anniversary of the Richland Volunteers on August 8th. fFoi^be Watchman and Southron.] % WEDGEFIELD, Mat 1, 1832. Messrs. Editors : On Saturday last there was a meeting of the citizens of Wedgefield for the purpose of discussing the question, whether or not they should build a house for an Academy at this place. It seems to be the desire of all present that they should build, if they could The Legislature at its last sitting passed a bill refunding the tax money paid by the citi zens of Midd?eton Township for the building of a Township-fence, aud by a mutual agree ment of the most of the taxpayers, this amount, less expenses, and less that not given by individual tax payers, is to be appropriat ed towards building a school house. Although there were only 14 or 15 gentle men present, they subscmd, besides having given their pro rata of the tax money, $490. Mr. John Singleton was then appointed and requested to visit the citizens who were not present, and solicit subscriptions for this purpose. The trustees, Dr. H. J. McLaurin, Maj. Flood, Capt. E. T. Moore and .Mr. Peter Mellen, were then instructed to select a loca cation and proceed at once to procure designs and estimates with a view to giving out the contract for the construction of the building. The plan of the house is not yet known, save it is to be a two-story building of sufficient size for the upper .story to seat as large an audience as this community will 'likely fur nish f?r all laudible entertainments. The money given to this object, just now, when the people are putting, and have put, so much in church buildings, speaks in loud tones of the public spirit and generosity of the people of Wedgefield. ^ith three Churches and a first class Acad emy the minds and hearts of our people most receive that culture which will best fit them for the discharge o? the duties of life. With enterprising merchants, mechanics and farmers, and the best land in the conn- j ty, and good health, Wedgefield must be considered the "garden spot" of Sumter County. A CITIZEN.

This is a machine cart holding, thirty to forty bushels, with large wheels, broad tire, and a short tougue to connect with the forward wheels of any farm wagon at the king bolt. It has a movable bottom similar to the traveling bed of a tread power, which, by means of suitable machinery, when in gear, moves slowly between the sides of body, car rying the load to the rear where it meets a swiftly revolving cylinder armed with teeth that picks the material to pieces and scatters it in fine particles as the team moves along. It will pulverize and evenly spread all kinds of manure, from the coarsest to the finest, ashes and lime, wet or dry; marl, muck, cotton seed, cotton seed meal, and all like fertili zers, with perfect uniformit}-, in any quantity per acre desired, either broadcast or in drills, in ONE-TENTH THE TIME REQUIRED BY HAND. Two men with team can spread from a pile in the field 75 to 100 loads per day. Yet its chief merits"lie in QUALITY OF WORK, the manure being so thoroughly pulverized and equally distributed that forty to sixty per cent, more benefit is derived from the same amount than when pitched out by hand in the ordinary lumpy, uneven way.
