It is remarked opon as a curious fact, that among the Mormon - immigrants who passed through Castle Garden-and there are aboot 2,500 every year-there never was an Irish mas discovered. Two last spikes were drives this week at aboot the same date. One was the last spike which bound to? gether the easters and western ends of the Northers Pacific Bailroad, at In? dependence Golcb ; the other was tue last at the fifty-mile post of the oew ' railroad io the easters part of Canada. Pris?e George of Wales was present to drive tbe Canadian spike, and a ban qset celebrated the event ; by whom tbe Americas spike was drives is uot mentioned, bot tbere was a great shout, and the assembled work mes may well bave bees procd of their feat of laying the last nine miles of road between breakfast and the middle of tbe after? noon. The roste is sow opeo for . business to Oregon, and a train of thir? ty ears of wheat was asDotmced oo Thursday to be aboot to start at once from Walla Walla for Minneapolis. Socb an event well deserves a more elaborate celebration, and this will ac? cordingly be gives week after next, when a very last and goldes spike will driven. The American people will sot feel any alarm over the fact that the very latest sews from the President of tbe Uuited States is ander date of Tuesday last.

Tbe President sprang to saddle after enjoying breakfast and after the tents had been packed on the mules, and his ride was over a rugged conn try. in which, no doubt, his horsemanship was put to the test. At eveningtide he reached a camping place, and the tents of his party were pitched in a pine grove beside a trout stream, in which be appears at once to have be? gun piscatorial operations. The Presi? dent ought have taken a historian and a poet along with him in this wonder? ful tour ?mong the heaven-kissing mountains. ADVERTISE YOTJE LAND. We had a visit from a gentleman liv? ing in Marlboro, a few days ago, who subscribed for our paper mainly to sec the advertisements of **Land for Sale." We believe from what has been told us that many others in his county con? template moving to other places where land can be obtained more cheaply than at borne ; and we would say to our readers who have surplus acres, that now is the time to advertise them We need more farmers iu ourcounty, and they will come fast enough if we will show them that we have an abun? dance of cheap lands convenient to ; market and with a remunerative soil j Our climate is as healthy as any in the world, (this may seem an extreme statement, but it is a fact,) water is pare and abundant, and while our roads ! may have more sand than is absolutely necessary, as a general thing they are j level and good. Land-owners should make these ad- ! vantages known and there is no better ! way than through the columns of the | Watchman and Southron. If sufS-i cient encouragement is given, we will j opea a department ia oar " paper de- j voted entirely to advertising laud at so low a rate that no one need refuse let? tiug the publie know what he has for sale. If part of our surplus lands were soldi it would add largely t? tbe value of the j remainder. What do you say, farmers ? One more word. If our land-owners expect or wish to dispose of their sur? plus lands they must be offered at prices which will attract purchasers. Our lands can be sold at remunerative figures, and still cheap enough to at- j tract a large number of thrifty farmers . whose presence in our county would add j greatly to its attractions both socially j and financially. --- . ml -<>?? -oci ?? IS IT EIGHT ? We have always understood that it is I not considered the proper course for a newspaper to forestal the legal investi? gation of a case by the publication of matters of detail that may unduly excite popular prejudice or sympathy upon either side. As some recent comments of the Spirit of the T?ntes and the ! Clarendon Enterprise upon the Lynch j abduction case may be considered as tending to manufacture sentiment in favor of Lynch, we cannot refrain from ? remarking that it appears to us as rather \ gratuitous, and ungallant at least, to do i so at tho expense of the girl, whose ? previous deportment has been remarked j upon for modesty and the opposite of j pertness. The Spirit of- the Times, which at ? first thought that Lynch should be j lynched, undertook some two weeks ? agoto offer excuses for him, one of j which was that he should not bc judged | too harshly because others were in fault and that several mistakes had bceu made-the principal one of which was the patting of the girl iu the Factory. This last remark being coustrued as a reflection, that paper in its last issue qualified the remark by saying that the giri was weak-minded, and should not have been sent from home and from un? der the watchful care and restraint of her parents. The Enteprise, while blaming Lyn^h for deserting his family, says he should not be judged harshly for running off with a pretty girl **whcn Barki? is willio." If the girl is weak-minded. Lynch, a married mao, with children, and one of them a daughter, should have been the last person to take advantage of her, and she, not he, is the proper object of sympathy. The paragraph of thc Enterprise may have been intended as a joke, but tho tendency of it is to tone down public sentiment toward Lynch at the expense of his victim ; and, with due respect to the editor, we beg to differ as to the fitness of thc application. We think that the Court House is the proper place for the defence of ! Lynch ; and, not having taken part in ! unnecessarily harsh expressions towards j him heretofore, we do not think we can ! be charged with any wish to persecute j him when we object to any part of his j sins being put upou the woman before i hand. There bas been enough publish j ed about the unfortunate affair, and we J hope our contemporaries will let it rest I for a while-at least uutil the trial is i over. Beport of the Sumter Commission ers. The Columbia Register says: Thc County Commissioners of Sumter have reported to Commissioner Butler 597 miles of public highways and 18 river bridges in that Couuty. The roads are not in good condition, but are as well kept as the present system and ap? propriation will admit of. Tho people are in favor of abolishing the present system and substituting the contract plan. It is very difficult to get the roads worked, many refusing to comply with the law, and to enforce the law has been found almost impossible. Those whose doty it ia to enforce it being un? paid officials, are not disposed to lose the time and incur the trouble incident Death of the Count of Chambord. The Count of Chambord. who would have beeu Henry V of France were France a kingdom and the Bourbons kings, died at Frohsdorf on the 24th, after an illness so prolonged that his passing out is an affair so discounted as to be wrapped in little more than a per? sonal and sentimental interest. The caus? es of the count's death were cancer of thc stomach, ulcers, and atrophy of the ! kidneys and derangement of the blood vessels. The heirship to his shadowy hopes and non-existent throne falls upon the Count of Paris, a man not over young, whose future dignity will lie in line with bis past policy. The legitimists propose to hold a grand de ! monstration at G?ritz on the occasion of the celebration of the obsequies there. Tbe Vienna papers praise the per? sonal charaoter and the purity of the ! political motives of the deceased count. The Gaulois, of Paris, in announcing tho death, said, "Henry V is dead. Long live Philippe VII," meaning the Count de Paris. Henry Charles Ferdinand Marie Dieudonne d'Artois, Duke de Bordeaux, I Comte de Chambord, was the official i representative of the older line of the I houso of Bourbon, aud was born Sept. ! 20, 1820, his father, the Duke de Berry, having been killed just seven months before. When the grandfather I of the yoong count, Karl X (Duke de j Angouteme,) abdicated the throne of France, in the summer of 1830, the scarcely ten-year old boy, was pro? claimed as kin pr of France at Bordeaux on Aug. 2, 1830, nuder the name of I King Henry V, but the royal glory did not last long, for two weeks later he was compelled to flee from France. I He first sought shelter upon England's j hospitable shore, but soon changed his I residence to Prague, Bohemia, where j ! he received an academic education. Io j 11838 he took up his residence at Goerz, j ?a commercial towo in the interior of; ' Austria, but spent his time principally I at the beautiful castle Frohsdorf, near j Vienna. When the second empire fell under j i the weight of the reverses at Metz and j Sedan the opportunity seemed favorable j for Henry V to be restored to the throne ? of his fathers, for a large element of J : the French people preferred order un- j j der a bourbon king to anarchy under j pretense of a republic, but the strong j j headed exile destroyed what chances he j I had by a silly proclamation, in which! j he clung frantically to the antiquated ? ! "lily banner" of France and his ex- j . treme ultramontane views. Since theo : j be had been coosidercd politically dead, j j although he effected ao understandiog ? J with the Orleans princes, who recognize j 1 tn him the head of the Iigitimist faction, i io return for which he acknowledged , the head of thc Orleans family, the Count de Paris, as successor to bis claims upon the French throne, j A cable dispatch of a day or two ago j confirmed this agreement by announc- i ins: that the dying Cam bord had sent j forth his mandate, asking his faithful ? followers to look upon the Count de j Paris, prince of Orleans, now as the j successor to the royal pretensious of thc I Bourbon family. - J, .. -, - The Minnesota Tornado. j . ! The tornado in Minnesota last week on Tuesday evening was one of the j most destructive and terrible that has; ever occurred in th:s eountry. Already ; it is known that thirty or forty persons ? were killed and that property worth ? three-qu%rters of a million dollars was | destroyed, but the full extent of the ! calamity has not yet been ascertained, j The storm's path varied in width from i about two miles and a half to three- ! quarters of a mile, and was about; sixty miles loug. lu this path lay the j thriving "tittle city of Rochester, several j "villages, and a great many farms. The | I storm spared? noue of thom. One-j j third of Rochester was destroyed, two I or three villages were partially swept \ I away, and not only farm houses and ! j barns, stacks of hay and grain, fcuces and ! j trees, but even growing crops were J j borne off by the whirlwind, j The innumerable details furnished \ j by the telegraphic despatches show that j ? this toruado was remarkable for com- j j bining on a very large scale nearly j ! every characteristic feature that has j been noticed in previous tornadoes, j In studying this storm the meteorologist J must feel the same gratificaron that a j zoologist enjoyS in contemplating an ! i unusually powerful and wcll-developad j j specimen of some rare and Serce race j j of animals. We read, for instance, of j j the sickly green hue of the sky as the j j storm approached ; of the frightful-look- j i ing ctouds rolling, tumbi'to", aud whirl- | j ing, und changiug in hue from copper j j to bronze and black ; of thc terrifying j j roar that filled the welkin, and, finally, j j of the appearance of the dreaded black j j tornado, coue, iuverted, and extendiog j j up into the whirling clouds to *an iro- j j measurable height." The work of the storm, too, appears ? j to have included all the various and I singular forms of destruction which ; tornadoes are capable of achieving. ; Some buildings were utterly demolish I ed, with all their surroundings, so that ! the inmates who escaped with their ! lives were afterward unable to deter- j j minc exactly where their homes lind j j stood. Other buildings were carried i ! off their foundations without being torn j i to pieces. Thc wind twisted off a rail- j j road switch-bar throwing opcu thc j ?switch, and thereby wrecking a j j freight train. Mon and women were | j overtaken in the fields, and whirled ? ; high up in the air, some being dashed j j to death on the grouod, or even torn j I to pieces by the wind, while others were ? i sot down again almost uninjured, j . There is one fact which is partieu j larly interesting, since it shows that ! I few or no lives would he lost in toraa- ; ; does if only sufficient warning of their i j approach were given. All who had j ? time to do so took refuge in cellars, ' \ and wherever this was done not a siu- j j gio life was lost. Tho Govern- i i ment weather watchers say they arc j j unable to furnish predictions of partieu- ! lar tornadoes ; they can only give gen? eral warning when the atmospheric ; conditions over a certain territory in- ! dicate that tho formation of tornadoes is ! imminent there. But tiie inhabitants ! of districts where tornadoes arc of frc- i quent occurrence, it would seem, ought ; to be able to devise a system of warn- i ings for themselves. A tornado does its j work with tremendous rapidity when it j is once fully developed, but the appear? ance of the sky always gives unmistak? able indications of what is coming, and watchers could be appointed whose duty should be to give warning of the approach of a tornado in time to enable the inhabitants along its path to See into their cellars. Thc safety of au un derground retreat in a tornado is shown by the fact that a family of four saved their lives io Tuesday's storm by jump? ing into an empty cistern, while their house was torn to pieces over their heads. Senator Hampton and the Sena torship. The Greenville News, of last Saturday had the following editorial : Seuator Hampton's position is elicit? ing a great variety of eouimeot from the newspapers of the State, and some of it is decidedly uncomplimentary. The Senator, as we understood it, declares that he is uot a candidate for j reelection, but it is willing to serve at j some personal sacrifice if his services j are desired or required. The facts are that his services are ? not indispensable, and that the State j bas.several citizens who can serve her J as well as he could. There is a vcr}7 gen- j eral and very proper feeling that Gen. Hampton is entitled to have any office ? he waats that the people can vote him j into. If he wauts the office of Senator i he can bave it. If he does not want it j there is no reason why anybody should ? insist on his taking it. Senator Hampton ought to under- j stand that he will not be conferring ? any additional obligation on the State j by representing her in the Senate for j another term and that to the contrary, j his election will be io part payment of j his very valuable services in the past, j If he insists on taking the position j that he will be doing a favor by accept- j iiig a re-election, the people 'should j stand on their dignity and refuse to j sanction any such ideas. We are not j paupers in intellect and character, beg? ging a gentleman who possesses both to give us the benefit of them. Wade Hampton is a splendid man whose fidelity and courage we can swear by, and South Carolina loves and honors him and the qualities he possess? es. But if he will only accept honors with the air of doing the donors a favor, he ought not to be asked to accept them. The sovereign people owe still more to their own solf respeot. lie will find that nobody will take the Seuatorsbip to him on a salver and ] with bended knee beseech his accep- j tance. That is the plain English of the pop- ? ular feeling, and if Gen. Hampton and j his friends are wise they will under- j stand and act on it. How would Wm. H. Wallace, of j Union, do for Senator't The highest price brought io thc i great Beckford library sale was bid by j the American commission for 'John j Smith's General Historie of Virginia ,'a ! very rare work. The price was ?6605, j over ?3,000. The amount of money : realized duriug two days for the third j portion of this sale was $12,850.
