The Commissioner in Equity will sell 011
sale-day in January the'large estate of It. E.
Belcher deceased, consisting of tliree
tracts of laud And one hundred and ten
negroes. This will be an^r important sale
and it will be well to Txjarjt in mind.
The administrator of Wsi. Andehson,
dee'd, also proposes an estate aide, on Wednesday,
5th Deccinber ensuing. Sixteen
negroes, and, other personal property, will
be offered then and there, Bear this sale
in mind also.
Two likely negro boys arc advertised at
private sale, j We shall take pleasure in di
recting purchasers where to go to nucl the
owner. Call at or address this office.
The approach of Christmas uaturally suggests
the idea of sky rockets, Roman candles,
and other merry-making sports, to the
minds of the young; and Messrs. Van
Sauten <fc Baiiuc, (bo earcful to retain the
names,) of Charleston, give notice of their
full and timely preparation to supply them.
On the 28th instant, Mr. Vance will sell
(as advertised in this paper) fourteen likely
negroes, three hundred acres of land, one
thousand bushels of com, and other property,
the estate of C. W-. Watson, deceased.
On the 11th December, four thousand
bushels of corn, horses, hogs, and so on, will
bo offered for sale, near Willington ; and on
the 12th or day after, another sale of similar
property will be offered, in the same
neighborhood; being a portion of the personal
estate of the late Jons B. Bull.
Several tracts of land, a number of negroes,
and other property, are mentioned in
the Sheriffs sales for Dcccrober, to which
wo refer for particulars.
Rights of married Women.
Ik another column we have copied, from
the Greenville Mountaineer, an editoral
article upon the subject above indicated, to
which we would call the attention of our
legislators, (the class for which we presume
it was specially designed,) and the public
generally.
The subject is one to which wo have ourselves
devoted some thought and, we are
?i j ; i ?i?-i ??.i
j jjicuocu iu aco vmwb bo nearly lacnucai wuu
our own entertained and expressed by ono
so likely to command a hearing. It appears
to us that, upon a fair and enlightened consideration
of the matter, few could be found
to object to those views. That great injury
(often positive beggary) frequently occurs
to married women from the incapacity or
indisposition of their husbands to manage
their property affairs judiciously, is too
palpable for remark. The question, should
not this evil be arrested as far as possible,
appeals not merely to the humanity of legislators,
(which would itself, in our view, j
entitle it to grave consideration,) but to
sound policy. Such a provision for the
rights of married women as that proposed
would tend, we think, to a more diffusive
distribution of property among all classes
i-i-i- -i- l 4. -i
ui kiuwua, nnu uvrutiui^ uu iuuuu buwarua
arresting tbe ruinous credit system now so
prevalent. Would not tbe attainment of
either of these ends be politic in a high
degree! A policy which should eventually,
and by legitimate means, result in
a more general distribution of property,
especially landed and slave property, would
soon manifest its beneficent results in closing
the floodgates qpon the now exhausting
tide of emigration from our State, and in
rendering the determination to defend the
"peculiar institution"' more general and
more determined. Let our publi<*men, who
all doubtless earnestly desire the furtherance
of these ends, consider the subject, and act
for the general good. For the present we
have no more to say than that we go hearfiler

Horrible Tragedy.?On Sundav lost
a moat shocking affair took place in the upper
part of this District. A son shot liis
father and immdediatly afterwards killed
himself. The circumstances, as we have
beard them, are tb?So: Basil M. Boone,
the son of Daniel Boone,of this District,
bad been in alterci^q with his father shortly
previous to hfo>iiioi^isw9n of this deed.
What was the cause of the Quarrel, we have
not heard. vThe consequence was, that he
possessed himself of a gtfnm some way
and shot;,.his father'in the back, the load
entering in the vMgion oCtjhe back-bone
and between the shoalder^THe then left
the house and, near by in an old-field, in full

fatfier, it is thought, cannot survive the terrible
wound he has received. '

to commit rape, ami sentenced to be hung.
The appeal was made to the presiding
Judge at our Inst Cowt,,and the verdict is
sustained.. By an error of the Magistrate
before whom the case was tried, Friday the
25th of October was appointed as the day
for 1ms execution, whereas, it should have
been Friday the 2Glh. Although the sentence
is not revoked, of course the appointed
day was la complete nulity, that Judge

the matter. We learn, however, that the

described as iiewlv invented bedstead, attached
