Still Dry and Hot.
In this.-immediate vicinity we are burning
and drying up with excessive heat and want of
rain. Gardons are almost worthless, nnd prospects
of corn crops arc exceedingly gloomy un
jesa rain comes soon.
In other porta of the District, we rejoice to
hoar, rain has been plentier nud prospects ai'e
brighter.
The Schoolfellow.
A^iono tlue numerous innganncB now asking
favor from the public, there are few so richly
deserving to be patronized as this modest little
monthly for children. A little boy or girl could
scarcely invest & dollar to more profit tliau in
one.year's subscription to the School/eUcte.
The Jfuly number has been sent un nn/i
record it upon our list of visitors with pleasure.
But you muat.be punctual in your visits, little
fellow, or- we shall expel you 1 If memory
serves us,'you arc sometimes a truant, ns most

To any one sending two subscribers with $2,

Worthy of Imitation.
OxEr?f the principal liVery stablemen in
Boston, it is said, refus?d to nllow any of his
horses to be employed on the 4th instant, Op
account of the excessive heat. He keeps alarge
stock of fine horses, and, seeing that the 4th
is alwnj's likely to inducc a brisk and urgent
demand, it is som'cwhal remarkable that n man
should bo found who would sacrifice the profits
of one day and incur tlio risk of losing tunny
patrons, all from considerations of mercy to liiB
hones. If t'.is was his motn'o, then we claim
him as a man after our own heart. Cruelty to
animals is no less ignoble than cruelty to slaves;
and lie who forgets to be merciful'to either is
u. vuiiLuuipiiuie ryraiii ai Heart, and would
oppress his own countrymen were they in }|J^
power. There is a repugnance in our nature
to cruelty that irresistibly forces a disgust whenever
and wherever we .^witness its barbaric
scenes. ? -x.
Such example1, therefore, as the above are
worthy of record aud emulation.
Just Views.
One of the stnunchest and ablest papers 6f
the South, tho Charleston Couriqr, expresses
our sentiments in reference-to an eternal wraqg
ling and Bpouting at abolitionism. There is
nothing more ridiculous tlinn this everlasting
hue and cry?that our houses are about to be
burned up?this public man and that member
of Congress are growing too "national"?the
Government mu6t look out, or we will-4 6?iash
things, the Union jimong the rest! It is time
long since that ttiBiSbUthern people had learned
to watch their interest* without manifesting bo
irritable-Jet sensitiveness on th% subject. It can
do no possible good to be always Uoilincr, and
only worries those who indulge in it. The fact
is, in our candid opinion, if ever Southern homes
are desolated by abolitionism, it "will be by
Siptthcrn abolition?a fur more dangerous spe.
cies than that of the North, because incorporated
already into the very veins of the body
social, and Southern watchman overlook it in
their eagerness to catch a glimpse at the movements
of a distant enemy.
We aro not josting. Whilst there is no apparent
want-of zeal in defence of our
and honor and lives against this threatenings of
' a besieging foe, there is a wanfpf vigilance and
energy in tl^p execution of internal policy?an
apathy in the enlbrcement of camp laws?more
combustible in its nature than any outeido pressure
can be destructive. As true and as patriotic
as the South imagines herself; there are
hundreds, perhaps thousands, hero rvho would
nnu eiavery oaa ieaa it to insurrection; rapine
and blood that they might fatten .lipou the
spoils. Let watchmen search the encampmcnt L

mentofbuy who hold forth such lofty pretensions,
but wo m,U9t not submit silently to the
. "soft iuipeach'ttftnt" that any paper in the upper
part of South Carolina has ii larger list of
patrons than the Independent Press. If it is true
that simply because a certain journal has more
subscribers than others, its superiority as an
advertising medium therefore follows, it'is due
to those whose pntronnge has been bestowed
upon us to vindicate their discretion, by showing
that they have advertised in the journal
having as large, if not tlrt largest circulation of
any in the country; and it is but contending
for justice and truth when wo net forth our
claims. t
Therefore, without going nside at present to
examine intotlio truo^philosopby of advertising,
we mnke this plsin announcement, and
chullenge any one to disprove its truth, by>nn
appeal to established facts, namely: The'i/ufependent
Piyu, as neat in its typographical arrangement*
as any in the Union, published at
Abbeville, at one dollar a year, 'bits n larger
subscription now, by at least one hundred and

we back this assertion by a pledge, that if we
are not correct, we wil\ publish advertisements
of city business men one year free gratia. A
comparison of hooks will tell the tale.
- ..Owe no Man.
The second volume of the Pr?*? commenced
on the 13th of May last? and almost ull iU firnt
patrons are still receiving it. Many of those
hove given us conclusive evidence of n desire
to continue by a prompt remittance of the sub
scription price, but from a number of others
\yo,hgvtf no such evidence, though they still
receive the.paper.
The new proprietors -hnvo sent out eight
numbers, and we presume those nre-auftieient to
determine the muUl?"bf all its readers whether
or nqt-the Press is worth reading and paying
for. If it is, then allow us to liiut to all those
wlvoso "bubscription ended with the first
volume (18th lait.&ny) or since then, the propriety
cf. paying for the second year at nn early
day. Newspaper duns arc so frequent nowa-days
that they fall to the ground generally
as ineffective aB incantations over departed
sinners, and wo dislike to mention the subject
at all. And indeed we wo'nld not Hn an !,??

Awful and Probably Fatal Affray.
Last Saturday ni^ht, nbout half-oast eleven
o'clock, one of tlic most brutal affrays occurred
iu a drinking establishment tlint ever disgraced
our city. Mr. Peter McCormic and Mr. Alexia
J. Chanipliu met iu %. Mensing's bar room, iu
Market between Meeting and King-streets.
Champlin extended his hand to McCormic, who
refused ita acceptance, saying he never took a
man by the hand who had broken his word.
Champlin denied having done so, whereupon
McCormic slapped his face. This aroused the
anger of Champlin to ail ungovernable degree,
and he nsked those nrrjiont. in i>lv? I..... - i.n;r..

he went out. Aecprding to the evidonce
elieitcd froni one of the witnesses before Justice
Sehrooder, yesterday, Chaftiplin returned
in a short time accompanied by some thirty or
forty persons, among whom were Messrs. Duvis
and Knight.
McCormic was standing at the bar with a
friend, when it is nlledged that Chainplin rushed
in and made a plunge witli a knife at his
throat, making a frightful gash, and causing
aiovjormic to reel and fall against his adversary,
bringing both to the ground. M(.'Connie seems
to have been rendered perfectly insensible by
the first blow, nevertheless Chainplin repeatedly
plunged the knife into different parts of his
bouyf Dnvis and Knight, it is asserted, were
not idle, but on the contrary both are said to
have participated in the sanguinary assault
Having satisfied their fearful passion upon the
now helpless man, the'trio made good their retreat,
notwithstanding the Guards were on the
spot a lew mimitca after the fight
McCormic was carried "home, where, upon an
examination of his. wounds, it was found he had
received nine distinct stabs?one in the throat,
two in the side, and the rest in the back artd

the same cause make the unprecedented number
of fifty-seven deaths from the effects of the sun

" Every one of these cases might have been
prevented, had the victim worn a broad piece
of sponge, wet in cold water, under the crown
of his hat. To prevent sun-stroke in a horse,
fasten a largo sponge over his brain. 'Tis an
infallible preventive of injury from the intense
heat."
Tiie Governorship of Nebraska.?Up to the
hour ut which wc go to press this afternoon,
it seems to be understood no nomination has
been made in place of Gen. William O. Butler
declined. As far as we can perceive, the members
of (ho Administration are religiously
guarding their secrets, relative not only to the
President'* indentions in the premises, but also
as to the names of the applications. We hear
those of many persons mentioned in this connection
; but have reasou to write down all
being said on the avenue as j*et upon the subjuet
ob little more than conjecture, and therefore
unworthy of repetition in our coluinus.? HImAinffton

ill the efforts for his relief, made by numerous

^Verily, io theiwidst of life We nre in death."
The deceased had many wnrni friends, as itio

suddenly snatched away without one
word of parting on his future prospects, hia
relatives mourn not as those who have no hope.
