did you dodge those very pertinent ques- ?"

your champagne better than that, and not
put such strong wino in old bottles. Now, ?
just "draw a mathematical straight line, and ^
walk by it," aB you said to your "Mercury"

fight admirably. The Devil himself could'nt ,u
wish the thing any better done, than they
do it. They are used to it. It's the great ^
national business. They will fight, if not
their enemies, then among themselves.
They must have blood, if their own veins t0
are to be opened. Well, as the Indians
say of the drunk man : "It's not he, it's
the whiskey that's in him." We suppose C
it's the wine that's in them / You and I, at
Doctor, would do the same, if we had a />??

Revolution did well. Our sober Washington
kept them on tfie right track, and they
couldn't get much wine, and therefore, they

Our honest belief is that 6rst-rate milita

They generally maintain the strictest dis
jpline, and impart the most practical edu
ation. If young men are taught the sci
snceof war whilst acquiring other branches
>f education, we can see little or no use foi

luties devolving upon them. Ilence a6uf

seaaity there is) for the onerous, expensive ant
nefficient military system of this Stat#.

Temperanoe Pick-nick at Greenwood.
Tho Temperance display at Greenwood,
on Thursday of last week, though not at- si'
, tended by so large an assetnblnge as was la
, anticipated, was nevertheless a very sue- t'1
: cessful and pleasing affair. g?
The morning exercises consisted of Ad- ei
dresses from Prof. Jas. II. Carlisle, of Wof- nl
I ford College, and Rev. II. II. Durant; and tl
in the evening W. li. Carlisle, Esq., one of n'
the editors of the Charleston Courier, and fi'
- P < r? ? i - - -
uiuuiur 01 jtoi. v/arnsie, and JudgeO'JNeall, w
i the Nnpolcon of tho Temperance cause in
I South Carolina, delivered addresses. We sl
car.not undertake to give even the outlines
of these addresses. It would require more ft
space than we have at command. But we
1 must say that the argument of Prof. Carlisle
was worthy of being printed, and circulated,
> and read, throughout tho whole country, ifi
' It was a splendid vindication of the cause. ^
Tho other speakers also spoke well, and fj
1 with effect doubtless.
' The good ladies of tho vicinity had pre- T
' pared a most elegant and bountiful dinner, K
of which, after the conclusion of tho fore- "J
r . C
1 noon exercises, the whole audienco was inw
vitcd to partako. We mean no flattery q
1 when we say that a better dinner, taken in
' every respect, was never served on such an '
' occasion in our sight. 11
1 On tlic whole, those who attended Green- ^
> wood on that day as friends of the Temper- Hl
1 ancc cause, had no cause to feel disappoint- n
ed; and those who attended not as friends, c
if possessed of unprejudiced minds, and
philanthropic hearts, must have felt the jj:
, quickenings of a new faith within them.
> Visit to Williamston. fi.
We roccntly enjoyed the pleasure of d
" spending a short time at this pleasant and ii
neat little village, and wo have rarely, if 11
ever, been more pleased with any plac.c ^
! "whither thettribesgo up" to get good water t|
- than we were with Williamston. a
Asa point of summer resort it is certain- a
> ly destined to take rank among the first. ^
1 The facilities of acocss, the medieinal propI
urties of the water, and the character of the
f resident citizens, all conspiro to its future d
I prosperity. tl
Tho natural indications and guarantees n
> of good health are both numerous and rct
liablo. The location is sufficiently elevated d
r to insure tho benefit of pure and fresh air R
1 to invalids: and there is something in the ^
1 general appearance of the place that rc- ^
5 solves itself into tho irton c?nr>;.I
? V/. mm I I uumuUL".
The spring is surruunded by an area of
several acres, deeply shaded by trees of for- ^
est growth, which makes it, to say the least,
} one of tho most desirable placcs to drink
, nature's best and only beverage from one ^
t of her purest founts that it has ever been v
our privilege to see. .
As a village, tho permanent society of tl
Williamston cannot be surpassed?a large
. majority of the citizens, as we believe, being n
. members of the Christian Church. There 11
. are four resident ministers, two excellent *
, schools, a temperance stand at the spring, j
. together with tho high moral and religious *
tone of character which characterizes this r
. pls(M?f that combine to make this village of t]
. health, industry and tiloralHy, one of tho ?
. most desirablo places in the State. "
, From what we 6aw and heard, we judge tl
. it to bo one of the most quiet villages in n
I South Carolina.
Among some of the mechanical devel,
opmcnts and inventions of tbe genius here p
concentrated, we were shown a model ma- tl
chine for making and dressing carriage fellies.
Also, one for trimming the 6pokes,
and boring and dowelling the fellies. Thise
| machines are perfect in their parts, the for
mer ot which was patented April 1, 1850, b
by Mr. John Sitton, the inventor. -The ci
latter, we have no doubt, will also receive h
the grant of "letters patent" whenever prescnted
to tho granting authority. Mr. Sit(
ton is one of those men whose genius is of ci
I no common character, and we wish for him r?
i the realization of "a fortune" as the roward H
of his labors. tl
The Rev. John M. Carlisle has also secu- tl
i tc
red the right of an intention, being an j,(
improvement on head-blocks of *aw-mills, si
which we sincerely hope may remunerate ^
him with a full pocket of tbe "yaller" th
dubt $
In a word, we were well pleased with oc
Williamston ; and, as there are many con- b
siderations which we donbt not would ?
please all those who can be pleased, we
wduld say to the public in general, in your T(
'excursions" in searoh of health, go to Williarotton.
