PRVIATEER PERSONALS. PRIVATEER TOWN-SHIP, March 23, 1836. Dr. E. A. Wyman preached an inrerestiog aod thoughtful sermon at Bethel Church jes terday, after which the church bad a con? ference and called him to the pastorate for the remainder of the year. In accepting the call he made a short taik, in which be said be hoped we would eil dwell together in har? mony, for harmony was love and love was of God. .The Home Branch Church, in northern Clarendon, authorized that the same minister who should be called to Bethel, should be called there and Dr. Wyman went to that church yesterday afternoon. It is understood that the Wedgefield Baptist Church was to take action yesterday and call Dr. Wyman there. The Rev. Mr. Billings bas accepted the call to the Providence (in this township) Pacfcsville, Graham and Dudley Baptist Churches. Mrs. Annie Wise, wife of Mr. Jobo Wise, was buried at Bethet on Wedoesday. Dr. Wyman officiated at the funeral. Mr. Charles Dwight, of Wionsboro, who has recently been visiting relatives in the lower portico of the State, paid a passing visit to Mt.

Ijt may be of some interest to -students of English history to leam that there are living ia Privateer Township, over 30 descendants, through feinaie lines, of one of Oliver Crom? well's soldiers. Tbe name of this long-ago soldier was George Wright. We read that be bad been in the army under Oliver Crom? well and caaee and dwelt at what is now Rehoboth, io Massachusetts, and removed to Flushing, OB Long Island, Georee Wright has descendants Lving in other portions of South Carelioa besides this township. Among his Privateer descendants we may mention the names of Masters George Nettles, Seppy Whiiden and Ernest Bradford. Mr. R. J. Price, of Williamsburg, has re? moved into our township aod expects to make bis borne here. Miss Fannie Hatfield, of ?Privateer, and Mr. W. H. Webb, of Sumter, were married at the Sumter Baptist parsonage by the Rev. C. C Brown on Mf.rch 15. In the account of our -recent educational campaign we alludeo specially to the Tindal and Dwyer school houses. We will state that the former building was fitted up by a Sunday school and the latt?r building is pri? vate property, in which school is allowed to be taught. The Dwyer public school really has no building. Jim Henry Tindal, one cf Privateer's col. ored readers of the W. <f says he thinks the public schools could run for sis months, commencing the first of November He says the children of his race could atteod school until the first of May, as they don't have to work very much in the field until that time.

Electric Bitters is a medicino suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails when the liver is torpid and sluggish a:. I the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi? cine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from malarial poison.

Moseley, died on the night of the 22od inst., after a long and painful illness, Her mortal remains were laid to rest in the Wedgefield cemetary yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. She leaves a husband, six sons and three daughters to mourn her loss. Mrs. Mosely had been for years a strict member of the Baptist church, and the Christian patience and fortitude with which she bore her suffer? ings, without a murmer, al ways praying to God for more strength, and to be resigned to his wi?i, make all wbo knew her feel quite sure that fat joul is nt rest and now enjoying the richest blessings of beaven, that only those who are faithful unto the end ever re? alize. As was well and beautifully said ia her funeral sermon, "ber children and this com maerty should be thankful that such a Christian mother and friend ever lived.': in the absence of a Baptist minister Rev. Mr. Dowell, of the Methopist church conducted the fu-neral services. He preached a beaati* lui ?nd impressive sermon, Miking as his subject the Christian life ?nd character of Job, which be made very appropriate. The comtau-nity have the most profound sympa? thy for ber family. Her funeral was one of the largest ever had in this place. Tte Methodist of this circuit have no par? sonage and they determined to h. .re one. a&d met on last Saturday to decide at what place on the circuit it should be. We are very pleased to say that they displayed, in our bumble opinion, very good judgment indeed in-selecting Wedgefield. They have a very pretty site on the church lot, so we hope very soon to have a new parsonage and par sor to grace our town. Religious Meeting at Pleasant Hill. Langley, S.

We hear on good authority that on the j night of Salesday in April there will be ; tried here, ii: a Special Court, a suit for dam : asies, where Miss G. Mc, one of our j loneliest belle's, sues Mr. H. a prominent so i eery man, known for bis icy manners Hrid ? winning ways,, for breach of promise. This j c?se is much talked of in society and every ; one who can walk or toddle is goiojr to the j Court House to hear it By a special Act j this will be tried by a Court convened for j this purpose, where half of the jury will be ; ladies, and terrible to relate, they will wear j bloomers. Judge D. will preside and it is confidently I predicted that he will afford as much amuse ; ment, as old Judge Mt key, whose humer on ; the bench was unrivnlic... Nearly all of the I prominent lawyers of this bar will appear on . one side or the other. General M.? being . leading counsel for thc plaintiff, and Mr. P. j for the defense.

On accouui of tne rush ' for seats, a small admission fee will be charged, ! which will be distributed in charity by the ; Daughters in Isreal, circle No. 1. A Site For The Monument. j Discussion of where General Sumter's ' monument should be placed seems in order. ; Allow me to suggest that the most suitable place is that plot of ground just on the North side of the railroad between Main Street and Manning Avenne. I believe it belongs to some parties in Georgia, who bought it to erect a stand pipe on, when they expected to build, the Water Works. I have no doubt it can be bought. Planted in ornamental grass with Sumter's monument on it, it will he an ornament to the city-now it is merely an eyesore. No doubt the railroad would remove the frame cotton shed and everyone in passing through on the trains will be able to see this handsome monument. CITIZEN. RELIGIOUS NOTICE.

The Mayor's Salary. The amount of salary to be paid the Mayor of this city has been more or les3 dicussed re? cently, and there is seme misapprehension concerning it. Some people are laboring un? der the mistaken idea that the City Council may increase the salary at pleasure. This cannot be done by the council, as it would be in violation of Section 4 of an Act of the Legislature, approved December 24, 1883 The section is as follows : "Section 4. That the Mayor of said 'City of Sumter' shall receive a salary not exceed? ing the sum of three hundred dollars per an? num, and he and said Aldermen shall be ex? empt from street duty during the terms of their office " A special act of the Legislature will be re? quired to increase the salary of the Mayor, and the only method by which the compensa? tion of the Mayor could be increased would be by the Council voting bim a suai of money as a sort of bonus or free-will offering.

Habana, March 21, via Tampa, March 23.-The arrest of ^suspects continue at such a rate that the prisons are now full and epidemics among the prisoners are feared The . Remedious prison is in terrible san i ! tary condition with 200 prisoners in ; quarters which are very much over ! crowded j At Sagua there are 226 prisoneis, j and there is room for no more. The I same state of affairs prevails at many ; other points. The decrees of Gen ; Weyler are being enforced with \ great harshness against the Cubans : supposed to have Cuban sympathies ; A state of panic as a result of these I decrees and the action of troops pre j vails in all parts of the island occu I pied by the Spanish. The peaceable citizens have no fear of the insur? gents, who follow more humane ? methods. It is absolutely impossi ! ble for correspondents to learn the j whereabouts of the prisoners of war ; who are reported to be taken in the . battles fought The subordinate ! Spanish officers say that secret j orders have been given to take no j prisoners. The Cubans release all j the Spanish soldiers captured. The i Spanish give no quarter. So many ; plantation employees and managers : have bee butchered that the men ; dare not remain on the plantations I and the women have been left in j I charge of them. The men hide in | the woods at the approach of the Spanish columns. Here is the proclamation of Gen.

Three hundred officers j have applied for leave of absence and j others are being sent home, having j incurred General Weyier's dis ! plesaure. The following generals J have failed to resist the enemy's ! operations in the provinces : Genis. Navarro, Canella, Mella, Aizpurua, Macon, Ordonez and Cornell. Re? cent army operations agaist Genis. ; Gomez and Maceo have completely failed and apparently the only re? source left is harsh measures against the unarmed residents, whether Cu? bans, Americans or other foreigners, on the ground that they extend aid and sympathy to the insurgent forces. Foreigners have wondered how long civilized nations intend remain? ing passive. The authorities fail to protect the property and lives of foreigners. They continue throwing into prison, French, English and American citizens for political rea? sons. There is no evidence to war? rant their arrest The attention of the United States government should be called to the arrest of eight American citizens namely. Sanguilly, Cepero, Dygart, Rodriguez, Someil lan (father and son,) Quintera and Ag?ero, who are in prison. Cepero is the only one against whom evi? dence of treasonable acts can be found.
