This worthy agricultural monthly is now
tho only one in the State, and we venture
to appenl, once more, to tho farming community
in its behalf. The contents of the
March number, if read and reduced to

more than the price of a year's subscription,

Notice to Claimants.
The following notice lias just been issued
by the Commissioner of Pensions, and as it
is highly important to the applicants for

"No attention will be given to applications
from persons who act as agents, unless
they are known at the War Department, or
are vouched for as respectable persons by
some one who is known fo the Department."

givo earnest of her permanent abode; but
alas I in answer to the impatient longings of
man, they caino forth at length, and havo
been overtaken by the backward advances
of winter! The first vernal month is about
to take her last step in her annual March,
bleak December winds mournfully chanting
a dying dirge.
In brief, the times nro distressingly unpropitious.
Wheat crops are scarcely more
than visible; others yet freezing in the
ground ; provisions are scarce and immeasurably
high; money mnrket barren and
unquotable; and a general apprehension
that the end of hard times, is not vet. But i
let us not despair. Hope is still left us.!
It is u consoling reflection that Timo stops
not for these grievances, and in his march
lie may bring relief.
Domestic Newa.
Battalion Reviews.?The battalionsof
tho sixth regiment are ordered by Col.
Roberts to parade, at times and places
which may be learned by reference to the
official order in another column.
* Stray Horse.?Ocr friend nnd neighbor,
Dr. Davis, offers a reward for the recovery
of his runaway horse. In another
column will be seen a description. We hope

doctor without n horse is as badly
frustrated as a country ed'tor without scissors.
Extra Court.?We committed a mistake
in a former number in saying the extra
' court was to commence on1 the first Moti|
day of July. The third Monday, as will
be seen by the order of the Judge, in another
column, is the day. It has been our
good fortune (lltjinks to our stars!) never to
have any business of any kind in any court,
civil, military, or ecclesiastic, and not being
present when the order was made by his
TT * - " ~
jiouor, we gave tne statement second-hand
?a fact which accounts, in a majority of
instances, for misstatements.
The IIaschk Family*?We invite attention,
from the citizens of the village and
its vicinity, to the advertisement of this musical
company. They will give a concert
on to-morrow (Saturday) evening. We
have never heard them ; hut judging from
the flattering testimonials of the Virginia .
press, as well as of several of our own State
newspapers, we feel uo qualms of conscience
in asking for them, in advance, a general
audience. We have a programme of the
j contemplated performances, from which we
I anticipate a^delicious feast of music. The
' company pledges tliat nothing of an
j immoral or unchaste character enters into
their performances.
Chambers & Marshall.?This firm
have opened an elegant stock of spring dry
goods. We commend, most heartily, the
public to call, examine and buy; and we ,
have several reasons for our commendation.
They have superior goods; they sell exclusively
for cash, and therefore can sell cheap;
they are liberal advertisers, and hence must
bo liberal men; and our friend Gray, than {
whom there is no more reliable, gentlemanly (

upon our gratitude by tho several tangible
evidences of bis liberality towards u??the j

lady's collar. " He has plenty more equally
as fine, as well as all other articles suited (
to the taste of the ladies. No one who ^
visits Abbeville should go away until thoy ^
have called at.tlio "cheap cash store."
Savannah Valley Railroad. I
In a former number we promised a more ]
extended notice of the proceedings of the |
last meeting of the Savannah Valley Rail- ,
road Company, which occurred on tho 22d j
and 23d of last month, at Calhoun's Mills. <

animals,-that there congregate. We hope, j
even at this late day, the brief abstract <

rectly/the cause of the Road by acquainting i
the public with somewhat'of-ita operalionis,' j

On acceptation of these terms, Dr. IIill
said, ho was ready, on the part of Augusta,
to unite in electing officers for the Company.
John A. Calhoun, Esq., moved that a
committee of five l>e appointed to consider
the conditions, which motion was adopted.
The committee, after a brief consideration,
reported, though tho chairman, Mr. Calhoun,
in favor of ncccptingthe propositions,
with such modifications as were nccessnry
to render them consistent ns a wholo. Af

expressed himself strongly in favor of building

were accepted.
Mr. Stvlks, of Hamburg, moved a committee
of two from each of the various points

Truth.
The existence of Truth necessarily implies
matter and rational, thinking agents,
as without them it is utterly impossible to
conceive of its having an exiMemv, though
it has conditions of existence; as. when I
say, a stone fell to the ground, the truth
docs not consist in the stone, the fall, or
I? ?>< _r I...* ?i? * ?.
uiu iiiiHiuuuu ui jiuuier j uui wnun i say,
it did fall, I stale a truth. Matter cannot
be truth ; nor-can attraction be truth ; but
when I say, there is matter, and there is
attraction, I state the truth twicc, as having
reference to two things, which must necessarily
exist before those two Initio could
possibly have had an existence, or Been uttered.
When I say, the stone is, the fall
occurred, I utter two truths, though neither
of them could have had an existence previous
to, or even contemporaneous with, the
first existence of matter, or of any of its
inherent qualities. When I say, the fire
burns, I state the truth, but neither the fire,
the oxygen or the carbon are the truth, but
the fire burns is the truth. "When, also, I
say, this is carbon, this is oxygen, and this
is fire, I state three truths that nover did exist
till thus stated by either myself or some
Dne before me, which under no circumstances
could have been uttered anterior to the
existence of these substantives.
Truth is not law ; but when I say, it is A
law of nature when oxygen and hydrogen
iro mixed in certain definite proportions for
:hein to combine and constitute water, I
Jell a truth. Truth is not a thing therefore
:hat is mutable, for when I say, a nian is a
liar, (if he be one,) or a falsifier, it cannot
be supposed that I mean that the truth conrista
in his baseness. Truth is not sincerity,
or I may bo as sincere in uttering a falsehood
as in uttering a truth. Truth is not
material, because it can only be felt by our
ionscicnce, and seen, as it were, by the
mind's eye. It seems to us, therefore, that
xuth is neither a thing of evil or a tiling of
;ood?the good and evil implied consisting
in lite things spoken of, and not the truth
ipolcen ; ns, if. I say, a man murdered withjut
provocation, the character of the act
joes not give character to the truth stated;
>r, if I say, Howard was a benevolent
m$p, t only state a truth, and if there be
jood in the premises, it myst necessarily attach
to Mr. HowARn'a character, and not
to my utterance of the truth relative to iC
[t bus but one opposite,.and that ? fakeiood;
If I ??^ sun did not iW in the
jost tins morning, I tut? a falsehood, which
ad more consists in. the su,o or the laws of
nootioB tH?n doei the truth consist in the

Outrage.?We learned that a negro
man, belonging to William N. Martin, of
Anderson District, a few days sinco committed
a most atrocious outrago on the permit!
of a rcspeatahlo married lady of that
i District. No one being near enough to hear
her cries of alarm, the l>ruto succeeded in
overpowering his victim by force, satiated
his hist and then fled. We presnmo his
Excellency, tho Governor, will offer a reward
for his apprehension.

Effect ok tub Cuban Blockade.?
The editor oT tlio Floridian and Journal,
writing from St. Marks, makes tho follow
ing comments on (Jeneral Concha's proclaination
to tliu effect that nil the ports of
Cuba arc closed, and the right claimed by
the authorities to search all vessels visiting
or caught near the Island, and furthermore
that the English and French squadrons
were at hand to enforce these things:
"Such stupid folly cannot hut give to the
'progressive'spirit a dangerous impetus, if
it docs not bring down upon the Island the
heavy hand of the Government itself. It
will require nothing but the overhauling of
one of our vessels under the guns of a
Spanish or English or French ship-of-war
to cause such an explosion as will bring
down Castili.m nrirliv mid !??
of the Antilles from I he Spanish crown."
Thk Ulack Wariuoii Cask.?Tl e
Washington Union of Saturday repeats its
statement that. the difficulty about the
[steamer lllnck' Warrior has been adjusted,
by theSpimish Government agreeing to the
terms which the United States Government
prescribed. To remove all doubt of this?
as doubts have been expressed?the Union
published off Saturday a portion of the cor- j
respondents which passed between the two
government*, and would complete tins publication
in its next issue. So. with this repeated,
emphatic, official assurance that
the matter has been adjusted, we may conclude
that there is no danger?as some of
tlie papers in New Nork and elsewhere
insist?that there will be wrtr aliout it.
Dkstkuctive Tounado.?Wyhave been
informed that n most destructive tornado
passed through the upper part of this District.
on Durban's creek, on Thursday, the
15th instant, doing great damage to fences
and buildings, and prostrating the largest
forest trees. It passed through the plantation
of R?*v. C. li. Stewart, and destroyed
all Iiisout houses. Mrs. Meadors' out-huild*
tigs also were seriously injured, and about
a dozen large shade trees around her dwelling
were torn up at the roots. It. levelled
almost everything in its way, and our informant
says, it was the most fearful sight
ever witnessed in this country. Its ravages
were eofined to about 100 yards wide and
a mile in"length. Other persons than those
\vc have named liave suffered, but not having
a definite account of them we will
procure the particulars for a future time.
Laurcnsvillc Herald.
Hon. P* S. Brooks.?The Newberry
Sentinel informs lis that the Hon. P. S.
Brooks, our immediate Representative in
Congress, passed through that town, on
Wednesday tlie 7th instant., on his return
home from Washington City, looking remarkably
well. Th<; Scutinrl, in speaking
of our Congressional Delegation, "says:
"Bkooks, onr immediate Representative
has borne himself gallantly and won the
confidents of the old 90 District. lie is
an industrious, working member, active in
the discharge of his duties, and zealous for
the rights of the South. His career the
first session was brilliant, and his celebrated
speech on tlio Nebraska Bill gave liim a
reputntion that will not soon die. He has
much influence at Washington. He lias a
bright career before him."
We doubt if the 4th Congressional District
could have sent a Representative more
faithful to her interests than the Hon. P. S.
Brooks, he being nn honest, intelligent, and
noble-hearted gentleman, and as little inclined,
we presume, to deceive tho community
with his political principle as any one
else. lie has many friends and acquaintances
in this Distrjct, who will all speak, as
tho Sentinel, in his behalf.
