Somier cs the headquarters of the Charleston, Sa m ter and Nort: ern Rail read and yet the other day the stock? holders went to Charleston to hold their meeting. Why was it ? The answer is simple.

THE BISHOPVILLE OUTRAGE In an article "L ot Letters," clipped from the Risbopville Eagle and pub? lished by os ic this isaue, it will be seen that the Bishop vii le people are still without a post om e and eat off from all mail facilities through the domineering spirit of the intolerant Postmaster Geueral Wannamaker. lt ig a blot opon civilisation to de? prive an incorporated town-inhabit? ed by people of culture, intelligence and busiuess enterprise of all means of oommonica'ion with the outside working dsy world. These long suf? fering s nd enduring people were not even allowed to decide betwceo two evil:*-a dishonest postmaster or no post omeo. They rebelled against an ignorant and incompetent negro, whoa the post office authorities attempt? ed to foist upon them, and in conse? quence have \y ^n deprived of their post office. We have oai'ed attention to this set of injustice oo a former oc? casion. We think now, an we did then, that if the matter were properly brought op before the authorities Washington, the town would get desired relief. Bishopviile eat afford to be without a post office longer. The p'ao suggested in article, is a good one, and any Sumter can reeder io the matter, will gladly do. VANCE GOOD-CLEVELANI BETTEE.

They are evi leetly, to ose an o?d adage, "striking rafe the iron is hot," and have since erred three notices, on the State's attor teys. One being of a motion for an order squiring the complainants to amend heir complaint ; another, of appeal tc he State Supreme Conrt from the de Tee of Judge Aldrich, and the third of 1 motion to have been made last M on? lay before the United States Court to 'acate the tempora-y injonction against he company. The bearing of this latter tas, however, been eon tin ned by mutual cogent of the attorneys. As we Lave tad occasion to state before, our posi? ton in this ease is, that the State hould staod oo its legal right? and lg ht to the sod. since she bas been ?volved in the litigation. We think, mwever, bad wisdom prevailed io the /ooocil chamber, the matter would ang since have been ?ettied, with pro it and advantage to the State, outside I the Forum. In CODnectiou wi' h the litiga?ion tow ie progress we observe that the ?bosphate Exchange, has issued a no ice Increasing the price of phosphate ock fifty cents os the ton. This is ipoo the land rock, used entirely in the aaoufaeture of commercial fertilizers, hronghont the country, tbs river ock being used on1 y in Koro pe. This idvance in the price of land rock is aid to be doe to the fact that the de nand is greater than the supply, and it s intimated by those interested in its lisposal that an additional advance in )rice will be made io a few days. -------- The Mern ph is Commercial says: *' W.

C. 1*. OSTKBS, Sec. IS MEMORY OP WALLACE. We publish the following Interesting ac? count of the pr?sentation of the flag under which the late lamented, Geo. D. Wallace fought and fell, to the Jenkins Rifles, con? tained in the Vorkville Enquirer of the 22nd : Last Wednesday evening witnessed a mo? mentous event in the career of the Jenkins Rifles, of Yorkville. Un that occasion they became the custodians of a sacred piece of bunting that baa been rendered doubly dear to York county and South Carolina hearts. This particular piece of bunting that has been committed to their keeping, represents the flag of the United States of America, to the most honored traditions of which bas been added the glorious record of a noble South Carolinian, born and reared in York county. It is a flag, to the glory of which thp roany high qualities of this exemplary, soldier, both in time of war and in timk of peace, have more than once contributed additional lustre. It is the particular flag under the folds of which onr own Capt. George D. Wallace, on the bloody field of Wounded Knee, laid down bis heroic life in unflinching obedience to the call of duty, aud it is the flag that was wrapped about his lifeless clay on its last sad journey to the borne of bis I childhood. Under such circumstances as these, it is I natural that the Jenkins Rifles, and the peo ? pie of Yorkville, and of York county, should j feel more than honored, at being made the custodians of so Sacred a trust, and the gathering in the court house showed a full appreciation of that honor. Besides a num? ber cf visitors from neighboring towns, the audience consisted of representatives from every section of York, while the citizens of Yorkville, young and old, male and female, turned out en masse. By the time Mrs. George D. Wallace, and the guests of ber party, consisting of Mrs. Newell, Col. R. M. Wallace, Mrs. Calvin Brice, and other immediate relatives of the late captain ar? rived, the court house was filled to overflow? ing, and standing room wa3 at a premium. Indeed many were glad to find a place on the ootside portico, and dozens of late comers, unable to get within seeing or hearing distance of the speakers, returned home. The exercises were opened shortly before half-past eight o'clock with prayer by Rev. R. G. Patrick, chaplain of the company, and as the first speaker, Capt. Moore introduced Gen. E M. Law, who delivered a beautiful presentation address. Below are extracts from the address, as published in the Enquirer : Weare here to-night, my friends, to com? memorate the virtues, the services and the heroic death of one who was well known among us, and whose unblemished record as a man and soldier claims the homage due to a noble life. That life began on the 2?ih of Jone, 1849, when George D. Wallace was born at the family homestead, not many miles from where we stand to-night. As be grew up to young manhood, he developed a character distinguished for sterling integrity, gentlemanliness and singular purity of habit and life. In the summer of 18C8. be obtained an ap? pointment as a cadet at West Point and en? tered that institution on the 1st of September, the same year. Four years later, he grad? uated with distinction-being seventh on the merit roll in a class of fifty-three members aud on the 14th of June, 1872, was commis? sioned second lieutenant in the Seventh United States cavalry. He joined his troop. UG,': at Yorkville, on October 1st, 1872, and remained on duty at the South until the spring of 1873, when his regiment was order? ed to the Department of Dakota. The following brief record of bis services from the time of his assignment to duty in the Department of Dakota, until his untimely death at Wounded Knee, is extracted from regimental orders No. 21, from headquarters af the Seventh cavalry, announcing his ; death : "Capt. Wallace marched with his regiment from Yankton to Fort Rice, D. T., and on J June 20th left Fort Rice with the Northern 1 Pacific surrey expedition under General D. S. J Stanley, for the head-waters of the Mussle ' Shell river-being engaged in action near the mouth of the Big Horn River with hostile ( Sioux Indians on August 1 Ith, and making 1 n that engtgement au excellent repututio:> ' br courage and efficiency under fire. In tie luramer of 1874 be was selected by Lieutenant Colonel G. A. Custer, to command the Indian icon's oo the expedition from Fort A. Lincoln t o explore the Black H?ls region. Returning in i he fall, his troops, with five others, were t suddenly ordered to New Orleans, and later ! 0 Shreveport, La., where he was on doty as 1. A. A G. of the District of Red River on il April, 1876, when he returned to join the expedition from Fort A. Lincoln, D. T., inder General A. II Terry, against hostile Sioux Indians, and was in the engagement . >n the Little Big Horn river, M. T., June 25 < ind 26. During this entire fight he was ever ? conspicuous by his gallant conduct. He was ?romoted first lieutenant, and appointed regi neutaJ adjutant, June 25, 1876, and resigned ? Fun* 6, 1877, and took command of his old , roop l*G." in 1877 he was eugaged in the J *?ez Perces campaign and took nxrt in the fight with the hostiles under Chief Joseph at Can- I ion Creek, M. T., and was commended io irders by his battalion commander for gal- 1 antry oo that occasion. In 1878 he was igain in the field in the campaign against the I Jheyennes in northern Nebraska. Since that ! rear he was on various duties, mostly in command of bis troop, at the infantry and ?valry school at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, ind at the recruiting depot at Jefferson barracks, Mo. He was promoted captain of ; :ioop 4<L," September 23, 1885, but when f troops L and M were disbanded, he was , transfered to troop K. Capt. Wallace endear? ed hioieelf to all with whom he came in con- j tact, and no word? c*n now add anything to lis military record, of which the foregoing is jnly a brief outline. He met his death with the same coolness and bravery which char icterized his entire service in this regiment, is shown by the fact that when found be s*ill - jeld his pistol, every chamber of which he lad emptied." LETTER FROM COL FORSYTH ? 1 greatly doubt if there was an officer in the army mote widely known and beloved j than Capt. Wallace ; there was certainly Dot i t more popular one. Besides the sorrow and j regret at this untimely loss of a personal ( friend, I have also V> express the highest ad- j miration of a soldier for the gallantry and f soldierly courage with which he met his , death. I At the time the firing began on the part of < the treacherous savages, he happened to be at ? * point wher? the fire was necessarily the ( liottest. By a prompt withdrawal a short < distance, he could very probably h.ive saved J Iiis life; but apparently preferring death to ia appearance of cowardice, he bravely stood bis ground in that pince, and drawing his pistol, dealt death all around him until shot ?ix times, four through the body and twice an the head, and bravely died surrounded bj dead Savages, mute witness to the accuracy af his aim. When found, he still tightly grasped in his right hand, his empty revolver. ( ii may be a satisfaction to you to know that Capt. Wallace was not touched by a war c!ub [all newspappr reports to tne contrary not- ' withstanding) nor was he mutilated in any way. JAS W. FORSYTH, Col. 7th Cavalry. THE TKSTIMONY OF A COM KA Div. Shaking of Capt. Wallace, who was re- \ rent ly killed, an old soldier s*ys : "Many a man could have been better soared from the regular army than 'Old Wallace,' a term of 'ndearment, by the way ; for he was not old. ? well rem'-mber hi?? around many a jolly campfire and oo many a weary march. He was on?* of those big-boned, big hearted men who knew no guile and ??ways ha?? a kind word and a heiping hand for every one.

F. McDow, Esq., who accepted the trust on behalf of the company as follows : I accept. Gen. L*w, for the Jenkins Rifles, this treasured emblem of our nat lou's honor, its glory a:??l its greatness. Under its iolda have been performed fe.?ts of heroism and valor as sublime ns any ever recorded in history. Around it dings and clusters memories and association?? dear lo every p4friot's h?*art We accept, ejr, to-night, wah feelings all A tut i icu u : with hearts as loyal as were those of our forefathers, whose dauntless courage, patient endurance, and devoted self-sacrifice in the years of thick thronging disasters, gave it existence and made it the perpetual symbol of liberty. What heart in this presence to-night that does not thrill and glow with the sentiment of love of country at the mention of Bunker Hill, Camden, King's Mountain, Yorktown and New Orleans? The soldiers who made these consecrated spots on the earth's surface immortal, were animated by a sense of com? mon interest, common danger, and a fierce love of liberty, inherent in this soil and as j immovable as its everlasting mount*?ins. For this fl.ig our most precious and blessed blood has been shed freely, willingly shed, on the I land and on theses. The laurels of victory I have been gathered by others more illustrions than we, but there is still enough left for us to do. Inspired and guided by the wisdom, the patriotism and courage of those who made I this America of our the freest, the grandest, the loveliest spot ou the globe, we can make it our part to preserve what bas been left us; tn transmit to posterity all the blessings which we ourselves have enjoyed. This we can only Co by faithfully giving our best efforts to 3he improvement cf our common country, developing her resources, and allow? ing no feelings of local or sectional hate for an iostant to rankle in our bosoms. The gallant soldier whose memory we are here to-night to honor, and to whom you have paid such a deserved and eloquent tribute, in life acted well his part. Of spotless integrity, of unblemished char? acter, be won the confidence, the admiration and esteem of alt. In the noon of an honored and useful life, with all tbe bright hopes and high aspirations of the future spread out before him, and conscious of bis power to carve his mme high on the scroll of fame, he was smitten to death by the cruel band of a savage. But he did not perish in vain-this brave and gentle man. A grateful country will faithfully keep the record of bis noble life. George D. Wallace was a brave soldier ; a true man, "without fear and without re? proach." He loved this flag in life ; it was his winding sheet in death, and never, Gen. Law, never while there is a.life or an arm to defend it, shall a stain rest on a single star upon its folds. Lost Letters, &c. Some of tbe letters coming here now bear red marks; showing, that there is no such post office in thi* State as Bisbopville ; Wisacky is supplied for Bisbopville by mail agents thus marking them. There is danger of losing your letters, by having them re? turned ;o the writer, if their name and ad? dress is on tbe envelope or having them sent to the dead letter ? ffice at Washington. The Editor of this paper, a few days ago bad a letter resent to him by a man in La. The letter had been directed to Bisbopville; but, was returned to the writer marked with '.There is no such office in S. C.," he inclosed the envelope and letter in another envelope and directed it to Stokes Bridge and it reached its destination. Really there is no such post office as BishopTi?e in this State and it would be well hereafter for persons getting their mail here to bave it directed to Wisacky or via, Wisacky. In this connrction we would ask how long are we to be denied post office privileges, jost to satisfy tbe spleen and meanness of Wannamaker's incompetent unprincipled agents? lt is too outrageous to have our post office closed for this and no other purpose. The people of this town and surrounding country, ought to have made out a suitable address and sent a delegation to meet the great humty dnmty Postmaster General about the time he and the President and "those" other masquerading patriots got to Atlanta the other day, and presented it to them, or rather to bim, in a manner that there would be no mistake in infotmiog the country of tbe wrong that is being done us, and bow we feel about it. We think the matter ought to be clearly written up in a petition and signed by our people-the patrons of th:s office, and forward t to our Senators, Butler and Irby, and our Congressman, Col. Elliot, and put them after Postmaster General Wannamaker, and if be won't do anything, a Democratic Congress :an. Let us send the facts to Washington without delay.

Absolute protee?ion is guaranteed to poli? cy-holders in our companies by reason of the large paid up capital, assests and resources of the Companies. THE Pei Mutual Life line Co., Life Rate Endowment Plan. The plan of this desirable form of insurance is as follows: The rates of premium, payable In cash, are the same as for ordinary life policies ; and the surplus, or dividend, is ap? portioned annually upon the sarae basis. This surplus is each year retained by the Company, and interest allowed thereon at the average rate earned by it upon its assets. When the accumulated surplus and the "re serte" maintained upou the policy (according to the combined experience of mortality and four per cent, interest), shall equal the /ace of the policy, that amount will be paid to the insured. At the death of lbe insured the amount of the policy will be paid to the beneficiary. If such death occurs after the policy has been in force ? vs-y ?a rs-, the amount of the policy, together with the 03tsfanding accumulated surplus and interest, will be paid. This is a specially distinctive feature of the PENN MUTUAL policies-original with it, and guaranteed hy so other cs>mp?ny. After the insnred has been a member five full years, the accumulated surplus and inter? est can be ?sed, Vf desired, in paymens of fu? ture premiums; at his option, however, Inter surplus, or dividends, may remain with the Company ??? the endowment feature be thus resumed. - - If the insured, after rheserond annual pay? ment has been made, desires to surrender his policy,, a paid-up non-participating life policy will he issued for an tqmtable amount, the same as upon the ordinary Life Plait ; and if be should fail to apply for such paid-up in? surance, within the time named in the policy, be will, under the non-forfeiting mle of the Company, have the full assount of insurance carried for the time which the full legal value of the policy, at time of non-payment will extend it. The time in which- policies issued upon this plan will mature as endowments, cannot be definitely stated. This dppends something upon the age of the insured at issue (the older the age the greater the ''reserve" and the more rapid the accumulation\ and largely upon tbe amount of surplus earned each year by the policy. This snrplus is contingent upon the amount of death claims, expense of management, and the interest realized upon investment. In all three of these the ex? perience of the PENN has been most favorable. The Official Reports show the PENN MUTUAL to be one of the leading companies in the country. Its returns of surplus have been more in number and of larger average per cent, than those of any other. There is no reason to doubt it wiil maintain its high standard of ex eel lene?. If so. the term of the Biidownraent will be shorter than in any other company issuing similar policies. A. C. PHELPS, Agent, SUMTER, S. C. April 22 McG a Mr. Dan.
