That can not be borne. . . There is another infringement of per? sonal liberty'which is disturbing the souls of some of our freedom-loving prpcrs-we., refer to - the Sunday Laws. Last week a heathen from New York City, who owns a beautiful home in a New Jersey town, brought a number of friends from the City, and Suoday moruing, he with bis guests commenced a game of lawn tennis on bis grounds which sloped down to the Presbyterian Church. Sunday school was in pro gress at thc time and of coarse the game going on in a few feet of the win? dows was more attractive to the children than their recitations, and the afore? named heathen was asked to stop his game but refused ; thc town authorities endeavored to abate the nuisance but were unsuccessful, and the people were disturbed during the entire time of wor? ship because a handful of law breakers from New York chose tp desecrate the day. The New York Uor?cZ is a con? spicuous advocate of personal liberty in this case and ridicules the New Jersey blue laws for condemning such conduct. It thinks that Sunday is as gcud a day as any other for excursions, base ball, &c, and eau see no reason why thc New Jersey people should object to games going on around their church while ser? vice is being held ; and in answer to thc j Boston Herald, which suggested that six days out of the seven were sufficient for playing lawn tennis, pertly rejoined, "yes, but who is io decide which six is to be taken?" Wc think that the question of choice of days was made some time ago, and by an authority that would allow no doubt. These are only samples of the dan? gerous doctrines inculcated by mauy of the large dailies of thc country.

COLLECTOR AT CHARLESTON. - The long fight is-over, and the prio cipa? eontestants are left but in the cold. Mr. Theodore .

Mr. Ldiior : ..Thursday always brings: to nie the welcome visit of that old and valued friend, the IK. ? S. ? thick it has grown much, better within 'thc last few months; pr is it that 1 have grown, wore appreciative 1 On 2Stu. of June, this section was visited by a small sized cyclone and waterspout. About two P. M. there arose in the N. E. a very angry cloud, accompanied by heavy thunder and rap? id lightning. Ten or fifteen minutes after, a similar one appeared in thc N. W. The two moved rapidly toward each, other, colliding iu a few minutes ; -'Then shook the hills with thunder riven," and the terrible lightning made us realize how awful are -tlhe bolts of heaven." The wind which had been high from thc first appearance of the clouds, became \a whirlwind, and the water fell, in a solid sheet, for several minutes, gradually decreasing in vol? ame, till it was a natural, but extreme? ly heavy train. When the storm abated enough for us to look out. a scene of terrible destruc? tion met bur view. Trees, fences, ev? erything thrown down and piled in all directions; one large hickory tree, two feet in diameter, was wrung off several feet from the ground, and though some houses were blown down, and some chimneys made considerably lower, not even a shingle was disturbed on the house iii which we were. We fully re alzed.how providential had fcuien our es? cape, when we saw that a tremendous tree had fallen within six feet of the room where the family had congregated. Of coarse much damage was done. Stock turned out of their pastures, wheat, which was lying iu the fieids, j utterly destroyed, and the lands and j growing crops badly washed. Within j rwo hours, there was not a cloud to bc seen, the sun shoue out brightly, not a leaf stirred, and the heat was intense. Thc calm was almost as terrible as the storm had been. The Laurens Normal Institute has just closed, after a delightful session of two weeks. The county is to be con? gratulated upon the marked success of j her first attempt at anything io this di? rection. Maj. Griffin, the School Com? missioner, seemed to feel repaid for all the trouble, anxiety, &c, by the large amount of interest manifested by all classes. Said iu his olosing address, that thc.future would pro ve* if the Insti? tute were a real success, hy thc new impetus given to education, thc deeper interest of parents* and teachers io thc high and holy caliing of training the meutal. moral and religious faculties of tho geu?ratiou which, ere. long, will ?akelbor places: | ?|1 % - Br.

Miss Bonham taught two. primary classes, illustrating the best methods of instruction in that department. Many felt they could make the school hours less irksome to ifte-Jjttle folk, after-see? ing her varied manner of imparting knowledge. Prof. J. B. Parrptt had charge of Arithmetic, and seemed to be charged with, his: subject. He* insists that the thorough teaching and learning of the Four Fundamental Principles, will re? move many, if not all, Arithmetical dif ?cul ties,and that pupils will learn to like the. "mournful numbers v : Ile made .4war io tho death'' upon the poor iriof fend?ng 1 ''and1* which' custom has., brought joto almost universal usage in reading numbers.

'J : : Prof. Evans had assigned bim the department of Geography and History, which we think, by far, the most diffi? cult task. DifHcult, because of the sim? plicity of the subject, which left so little scope for originality* He gave a bird's eye view of English History, as far as it bore any relation to America ; and of U. S. History, in all its aspects; said a knowledge of history did not consist of dat?s, battles, successes, defeats, Gener? als,^ even iu being able to name the Presidents in order ; but in a thorough knowledge of a nation, in its social, po? litical' and religious/' relations. Told ab?ut.Ocea'? C?rrente ; why the Mis? sissippi flows np hill, and much more of equal'interest, ' There were several discussions, on subjects of interest mainly to teachers and parents-Corporal Puuisbmc^s for'^Btancei^R^ fmi\ afafe^he ^Trle Xae?, as a general thing, are fond of quoting Solomon, as unquestionable au? thority on this subject, while the ladies think milder means will accomplish more lasting good, St least that "its wise to err on mercy's side." " Prof. -Milner, in au address before the Institute? asserted that, wonjan is fitted to teach only Primary Depart? ments; and whatever her acquirements, a bigher position gives her au objection ble publicity.. Prof. Evans added, were she: to attempt to teach Geology, she would mash her finger; Chemistry, an explosion would frighten her to death; and that she could not be induced to handlea skeleton io teaching Physiolo? gy ; but afterward said he meant noth? ing uncomplimentary by his reference to woman's timidity ; and that he saw no objection to her filling aoy position ^n.a girl's schoxft; " A reply, written by a lady, though read by a'gentleman, claimed that a woman,, who ts unfit to teach in the Higher Departments, is equally n?fit to preside over the Primary, and that if she'has to learn the Sciences, in order to teach successfully iu the latter, it is not a false delicacy to exclude her from teaching girls what sbo has, herself learned. Laurens is a delightful little town, and not so small either. In the near future, Spartauburg will find she has no mean rival, for the new R. R 's have infested new life into every branch of trade^and:energy 'nto her citizens. The town is rapidly, building up, both in private dwellings and business houses. Nowhere have I seen prettier resi? dences, than many of the new ones ; they are not grand, but sweet, pretty and home like. * The teachers went to Laurens, as Prof. Sold?n so aptly expressed it, .?covered with soul-dust;" but have re? turned refreshed ; bearing . with them most pleasant memories of her kind and hospitable citizens; and last, but far from being ?east, her fine* musicians and sweet singers arc held-in grateful re? membrance. Hoping you will pardon this letter which has become much longer than was inteuded, I will close. Yours, OLETA ST. CLAIR. TX. S. Grant. Gen. Grant died at Mt. McGregor, N. Y., at 8 o'clock, the morning of July 23d. He was born at Point Pleasant, Clermont County, Ohio, April 27th, 1822, and was therefore in his 64th year. Young Grant graduated from West Point io 1843, aud was assiguedas sec? ond Lieutenant,to the 4th Infantry. He remained' in the army eleven years which covered thc entire period of the Mexican troubles, and was engaged in every prominent battle in that war, with thc exception of Buena Vieta. At the close of the Mexican War he married Miss Julia A. Dent, who with four children still survive him. In 1854, having reached thc grade of Captain, he resigned from the army and settled at Galena, III., where he en? gaged in farming and merchandise. When Lihculn issued his first call for troops, Grant promptly raised a com? pany, and, about thc 1st June he was appointed to the command of the -1st illinois infantry. Ile first saw service in Missouri, serving under Gen. Pope. The Presi? dent made him Brigadier General in August and in February following, he won his first great victory by the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. He was promoted for this victory and made Major General of Volunteers. In July '62 he was putiu command of the Department of West Tennessee, and on thc 4th of July/in '63, captured Vicksburg. In November following, he was victorious at Chatanooga, which vir? tually placed him at the head of thc army; for ho was made Lieutenant General in March "64, and began bis movement on Richmond, May 3d, which ended at Appomattox April 9, '65. At thc Chicago Convention in '68, Gen. Graut was nominated for Presi? dent with Schuyler Colfax for Vice President, and was elected bv a vote of 214, against 80 for Seymour and Blair. Ile was re-nominated and re-clectod in '72 receiving 208 vorcs against SO for Greely and Brown. At thc close of<hc ecpnd term, he made au extended tour aroun?^the werldip being received by al! tho courts of the,Old .World which he visited - with the most ?istinguisHed honor. In 1880, a powerful effort was made by his friends to again nominate him for the Presidency, but the effort was a failure, and since that time he has re? tired from politics. His business connection with the firm of Grant & Ward was most unfortunate, he thereby losing the greater part of his fortune. Last March bc was restored to his former rank of General, and placed on the retired list. Clarendon News. Mr. Jas. E. Tindal has declined the nomination for the Legislature. Br. Jas. H.

The syraptons are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasioualy nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, "dull pain in the head, with .a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not uufrequently palpitation of tue heart.
