Savannah River Railroad Meeting.
We take pleasure inTeferring our readers
to a notice, in another column, of a meeting
of the stockholders in the Savannah River
Railroad Company to be held at Freeland's,
in Edgefield, on Thursday, the 2d of August
ensuing. If any further remarks were
necessary, tho late hour at which the notice
was received loaves us no space for them.
Let it suffice at present if we express the
hope that the meeting may result in furtherance
of the great cause of iron tracks and
steam coursers.

Spartanburg Female College.
We would invito spccial attention to tho
advertisement of the Spartanburg Female
College. Within a little more than eighteen
months the buildings?which are said to be
very fine?have been reared, which is ample
evidence of the energy of those charged
with the establishment of the Institution,
and a flattering earnest of future success.
And wo consider the Faculty one not easily
surpassed by any in the country. Mr.
Tucker, the President, has been for many
years one of the leading members of our
Legislature, and is well known as a gentleman
of brilliant talents, indomitable indus
tfy, fine attainments, and irreproachable
character. Upon Mr. Jones and Miss
Paine, both of whom have given entire satisfaction
in their former connection with the
excellent Female Institutions at Anderson,
we might pass a compliment fully as high
and as truthful; but they are all well known,
and must commend the Spartanburg Female
College to the public.
To the Banner.
Oor neighbor of the Banner explains, in
his last issue, why the proceedings of the
agricultural meeting on Bale-day were not
furnished us by him as Secretary, which
explanation wo take pleasure in accepting.
But in justice to ourself we mifct remark
that, the meeting being held ou Monday,
and his report never reaching our eye until
Thursday morning?only flvc hours before
our hour of publication?gave u's strong
reasons to teel slightly ignored. We considered
it tbe duty of the Secretary, acting for
the meeting, to see that the report was given
us in due time for publication in the
next issue. The Banner, instead of making
its appearance in our office on Wednesday?as
said, and wo doubt not believed,
by him?did not appear at all hist week.
We sought and found a copy on Thursday
morning after the usual hour of distribution
bad passed without giving us a sight of it.
We assure our neighbor that we have no
disposition whatever to disturb the friendly
relations now existing between us; but
when circumstances induce a belief that a
respect for the Press which we claim for it
as a matter pf right has been wantonly
withheld, we are bound to say what we think.
Thus much in vindication of the motive
prompting our allusion to the failure last
week, and not in persistence of the complaint
which we then had reason to make.
Convention of Stockholder**
. The annual convention of the stockholders
of the Greenville and Columbia Railread
commenced its session in ttie, depot at
this place on Wednesday morning last, and
was well attended. The proceedings of the
first day comprised the reading of reports
ft?>m the President and other officers, the offer
of a resolution by Tiros. Thompson, Esq.,
authorizing the issue of coupon bonds for
tie purpose of raising funds to pay back to
stockholder* the amount of their respective
aaseasmentfl$ioiithe appointment of a committee

The question of issuing bonds to pay assessments
was aho discussed with considerable
warmth, aud it was decided not to issue
them.
At the moment wo left the convention
an election for Presideut and Directors was
being hold. The present administration
was nominated, and is no doubt elected.
Au adjournment will probably take place
about four o'clock this (Thursday) evening.
This hasty sketch of proceediugs is all
we can give this weeek. Moro shall be
given hereafter.
The European News.
The last advices from Europe are far more
than ordinarily interesting. We refer to a
brief synopsis of tho accounts to be found
in another column, which we have taken
from the Charleston Mercury. It presents,
wo believe, all the points of importance.
Wo cannot beliovo this strngglo is to be
continued much longer, especially if duch
conflicts as arc reported in tho last accounts
?;* <> to bo frequent. The Britiah Government
will surely see tho impossibility of humbling
Russia, and that everv dollar and evcrv dron
y - v_ ? - -- j ? - 1
of blood spent by her id the attempt only
serves to develop the deep discontent of the
tax-burdoned people at home. Already is
tho English press bitter in its denunciation
of the present sflicidal policy; and when
wo consider the recent act of Parliament
reducing or wholly removing the stamp-tax,
thereby extending its influence, this fact is
of significant importance. There can be no
doubt of the dissatisfaction and iestlessness
of the people of England. They aro tired
of prosecuting, at their own expense, a war
?-t. -1- * i.
wmcn is 10 result, even were they to conquor,
in no bonefit to themselves. Tho G overnmeut,
too, is sick of its undertaking;
and will hence more readily yield to the
manifest wishes of its subjects. When an
individual gots into a close place ho will
take counsel even of his valet, and nations
sometimes act upon a similar principle,
The voice of the people must be obeyed,
when it comes up in a united cry.
Bo the end of this struggle when'it may,
soon or remote, we indulge strong hopes
that one of its results will be the hastening
I oi tne aownlall ot the English Aristocracy
and the promotion of republicanism in its
stead. The signs of the times are encouraging
to such a hope.

Report.
Tue Committee to whom was referred
the report of the Rector of the "Cokesbury
Confereneo School," beg respectfully to
report:
It is very gratifying to your Committee
to learn, as it does, that the past year has
been one of "great peace and quiet," de
manding very little exercise of rigid discipline.
This is not only favorable to the
government of the Institution, but also
highly creditable to the students themselves,
and will be hailed with pleasure by nil true
friends of the School. It should bo borne
in mind that tho object of this long and
ardently cherished Institution of the South
Carolina Conference is, not only to give its
pupils so much knowledge of science and
letters, but also to inculcate that spirit of
subordination and self government which,
by the Divine blessing, may fit them for
whatever station in life they may be called
to occupy. We rejoice to recognize this
result to any extent, and especially in the
deprfifi inflirntf/l Kw (Im ?
! ? ~0 v?iv iVJi'VJt \Jl UUl IC*
spccted Rector.
It is to be regretted that the number of
students is not equal to that of the year preceding;
and yet it is gratifying that, in a
year so trying in monetary matters, the
School has a little more than sustained itself.
While with the coming plenty of the
growing crops, we may confidentially hope
for a large increase of students, it is matter
of gratulation that our standard of scholarship
is good, and that, however it may
have been in the case of kindred Institutions,
no student from. Cokesbury baa ever
been rejected on his application to enter
any College in the conntry. . r Your
Committee are pained, however, to
learn that two or three of the students have
been dismissed from the School for irlnnfL
tying themselves with a dancing school
opened lately in tho village ; in which disciplinary
action of the Faculty your Committee
fully concurs. The conduct of those
stfidents was wholly at variance with tho
spirit of the rules and regulations of a
school, one of whose chief glories has always
been that it was a Methodist School
?a Conference School?a Religious School,
founded too, in a high toned Christian com-j
munity ^?-avoiding, nevertheless, sectarian '
influence. This has been its'7 recognized
characteralf over the lan^andjbas been
one of its best recommendations-hence,
the higly censurable character of tho conduct
cfet^^few student*. That such conduct
aggravates the evil in ita influence ngainsfc
thV&ifool. Tour Committee feel it due
toetate, however, from suoh information as
baa been received, that this dancing scJj^jjl
movement has bqg^BW?spyed by., few of the
beitefcaort, but; the residutf*
bers hatin^pUt theirootrtrtea*!?*
It is matter of solicitude, however, that the
moral and religious force of the public sentiment
was not exerted at once to prevent
its' existence. May not the cause of the
comparative paucity of numbers in the
School be the absence in part of the high
religious and moral character once the glory
of Cokesbury, rather than hard times or
any other cause which has beeu thought
to be discovered ? At any rate it behooves
the people of Cokesbury to instituto such
an enquiry. Your Committee deprecate
tho thought of this loved and cherished
School going down: but if go down it
must, much, if not all, of the cause of such
failure, will Bb found in tho state of things
at Cokesbury now adverted to. Wc reiterate
our joy, however, that this lovely and
salubrious village in the woods has but
few within it who aro at all disposed to remove
the ancient land-marks.
Your Committee would earnestly call on
lllft nifiml)i>rs r>f lliia "Rnnrrl nn ouorw
~.w
zen of this place and its vicinity, and on
the preachers and people of our Conference
generally, to conic to the help of the School
with their influence, their patronage, their
prayers; and let all unite in maintaining
the well-earned reputation of the Cokesbury
Conference School as one of the beat Acad-1
cmics in the land.
Your Committee recommend the following
resolutions, viz:
i tiiot ?i,., ~e hp?.?
?vwv.uvw A. AUIIVUIU i^uaiu ui iruait'cs i
of Cokesbury Conference School take much
pleasure in tho assurance that the Rector
and his associates have spared no pains in
their power to promote tho interests of the
School and their administration is hereby
sustained.
Resolved 2. That the falling off in numbers
(though we trust it is but temporary)
from whatever reason, is cause of deep solicitude,
and should claim the attention of
all interested in the Institution.
Resolved. 3. That the Board has heard
with much mortification of the existence of
a dancing 6chool in Cokesbury, and are
grieved to know that connection with it has j
occasioned the dismissal of three of our students.
Resolved 4. That while the Board entirely
sustain the Faculty in their administration,
they would fervently hope that no
such cause for discipline will agaiu occur in
the Institution. Respectfull submitted.

WRITTEN FOR THE INDEPENDENT PRESS.
Temper.
Messrs. Editors :?The more I see of the
Press, the more I am impressed with the
idea that it is the interest of Abbeville District,
the State of South Carolina, and
neighboring States to sustain it. It is cheap,
and brings to our family circles every week
LiiC principles of lha Palmetto Stato, .nd
the doctrines of the never to be forgotten
and imperishable Statesman of the South.
Then, I admire its coolness, its spicy edito
rials, anecdotes, and above all, its morality.
But my object was to write about Temper
?a bad temper.
I do not believe that there is much logic
in temper. According to IIodge, ' The purpose
of logic is, to direct the intellectual
powers in the investigation of truth, and in
the communication of it to others." There
may bo logic in a good, well directed and
regulated temper. But I am just now
think incr r?f wViof in / oll/i/l ? Kn/1 I
*5 v? <* umv iu vhiivu c* uou lv;11jja;j
And in tliis, if there is any good logic, it
will take close reasoning to find it Temper
is said to be "every thing? This may
be true, but surely not when you apply a
bad temper to things that are good and
lovely, and which are of good report. Two
ladies, two gentlemen meet, as the case may
bo, apparently *up to that time good and
worthy friends, citizens, neighbors, &c. A
word drops, and then another boiling hod
drops upon that, and O my! how angry.
Their very eyes send out sparks of fire, and
burning lava streams from their lips, attdthe
lie is banded back and forth. My sake !
is there any logic in a(l this ? I am sure if
there is, it is bad logic, not of the school of
Plato, Aruistottle or Newton. Did
you ever see two sturdy male cows, gener
any called?ah, yes?bulls, in ten feet of
each other, with inverted horns, and eyeballs
rolling ? You havo in these quadrupeds
what you see sometimes in two?shall
I say it? two BJPED9. Not Shangbaie
cocks, the most peaceable of all bipeds, but
actually?men?Oh ! not ladies. >A lady
get angry ! 1 don't tell it. Well?I saw
Mjas'-~~?on,t say Miss just so, sho
.was only * little, ah, that is it?she was a
little vexed. Any school boy wh^has go up
through his Horn-book knowi tfeat there is
a difference between vexation and anqer?
ab, a wide difference, just a* much aj jthere
^between the masculine and feminj^gett- s
/Why, we cay, (and is it not aobord^

Bu. . '
to what Dictionary shall we go for au explanation
of such masterly conduct? I
cannot venture to say with all tny knowledge
of lexicographers. I know there was
a wise man who lived in the days of the Pa- f
triarchs, who 6aid that, "Anger rcsteth in t
tho bosom of fools." Ah ! but it won't do <
to use this old writer's sayings in these days
of modern chivalry, or some of the ecclesi- 1
astics would come off badly. And yet that !
old writer seems to have been in Ha knowl- <
edge of human nature transferred to mod- <
era times. In fact, I know of no modern '
writer who difFers from him, that we can
follow with so much safety. Wo would ad- ,
vise those, however, who are given to anger,
frequently to read this ancient author;
we think it might save them from much
mortification.
Thero aro various causes which cxcito
anger?such as real or supposed injury?
injury opposite to a relation or friend or 1
party to which one is attached, or by cruelty,
injustice or oppression offered to thoso
with whom one has no immediate connection,
or even to the community of which
one is a member. Nor is it unusual to Fee
something of this p;ission roused by gross
absurdities in others, especially in controversy,
or discussion. These are common
causes of anger. But there arc others that
find no excusc; such as impatience of contradiction,
a supposed superiority of pedigree,
or family connexion. "I am Sir Oracle,
and to bo treated accordingly.'' Let
such as are pure in family stone the impure,
and we presume their vcbble nouchcs
would not soon bo emptied. Of all tho
struts ever seen, the purse-proud and the
pedigree strut is tho most contemptable,
ungraceful, and immeasurably ridiculous.
The claim of superiority is a dangerous
thing; but when public sentiment awards
it upon the ground of merit, it becomes a
virtue. Let men of high degree condescend
to those of low degree. It is 110 disarrangement.
What is any man but a
worm of the dust? And why get angry
with a fellow worm, and trample on him
just to see him twist in his turn ? Pomposity
does not become worms?pride was never
made for man. "Therefore, be yo angry
and aiu not." Let not our streets, our court
I greens, our highways be disgraced, esoe
eially by our high-minded, our dignified
magistracy, our rulers in Church nor Stale.
Let pugilists, if they must, be pugilists?but
blessed are the peacemakers. Let our streets
be cleansed of all impure matter, and he
who aids in a work so important is a public
benefactor. Shut out anger from your
parlors, your chambers, your social circles,
ah, from your hearts, and be ye kindly affectioned
one towards another. Pax.
The War News.
The most important intelligence, since the
battle of Alma, comes to us by the America
at Halifax, with dates from Liverpool to the
'23J uit.
The prcciso character of this news as to <
details may not yet be determinable, but the <
general features of it are quite plain. The '
besieging forces at Sevastopol had achieved I
a succession of minor triumphs. Tliey had i
captured all tho new Kussian outworks on <
the southeiistern side of the place, and had i
brought to bear on the original fortresses '
of that side a power of siege artillery such <
as was never before directed against a posi- i
tion. No less than, six hundred heavy guns \
for a succession of days rained thoir iron ,
tempest upon the Malakoff and tho Redan ]
forts, which were regarded as the keys to '
the whole southeastern defences of Sevasto- ,
poL If they had not made a practicable breach,
it was because it could not be made.
On the 18th of June, a combined nssault j
of the British and French was made against <
?lm ?-1
vt?v AWUUU (?IIU lUaiaftUU LUIU), illlll It WUS
repulsed with terriblo slaughter.. <
It is said that the attacking column of the
British lost four thousand men, and as the
enterprise of the French was much the more
extensive and their force much the larger, '
it is probable that their loss was proportionable.
The home governments had both concealed
tho particulars, which by no means
favors the supposition that public rumor bad 1
exaggerated the fatal character of the 1
repulse. J
Indeed we have had too many proofs of t
the unflinching vjOoJ* of the French and |
British troops, to believe that on such an '
occasion they would have acknowledged
ueieai. snort 01 a irignttul destruction of ]
life. And that it was defeat, amounting t
almost to disorganization, no other proof is )
needed than the fact that "in the confusion," J
the Rusians recovered possession of the t
Mamelon, won by the French ten days bo- i
fore by the lobs of three thousand men. t
Thore is another point in the news which
has its own peculiar significance^ though for J
the present it mav be without mur.h fnnnrln- .
tion. Napoleon has been sick; it is even e
reported that be has had an attack of t
aopplexy. There was in consequence a great D
panic among the stock-jobbers. The report J
is not probably well-founded; but suppose f
such a thing were to happen f Suppose the 1
Freno^^Enjperor dies, or becomes imbecile? P
It is"nearly certain that there would follow ?
a revolution. He is the State. There is no ,

leighbor, Mr. Richard Sondley, to rido over
itid look at his crop. It was really a treat,
is it always is to mo to sec a fine crop of
sorn and cotton.
We were engaged the greater part of the
norning riding o*er his corn crop, in tho low
grounds of tho Enoree?about four hundred
icres. A better crop I don't suppose ever

sf it is now in full Bilk and tassel. I countsd
as many as seven silks and shoots upon
ii stalk. I could not venture to say how
much it will make to the acre. A reliable
gentleman up here told mo some time ago
that he has made as much as seventy-two
bushels to the acre upon creek bottoms,
which are inferior when compared to our
river lands.
It was late in the day when we got over
tho corn crop, and as Mr. Sondlcy plants
very largely of cotton, we were unable to
see the whole of it. The portion wo saw,
considering the continued heavy rains, was
very fine, both as to the stand and 6ize of
tho weed.
Mr. Sondlcy is a gentleman of largo experience
in agriculture, and there is no better
lesson for those who aro beginning to
plant than to go to bis plantation and see
how well and judiciously every thing is planned,
arranged and managed. He has just
harvested his wheat crop, which amounts to
some two thousand bushels.
