ascertained that the party was in Lexiug-j

Filch, with which, accompanied by some
of the Marshals and other citizens of Co- 1
lumbia, they proceeded to Lexington Dis

.Saturday night, and brought them to jail j
here on Sunday morning. The man call-;

They also succeeded in passing some
of their spurious money in Columbia,
amounting, perhaps, to $200. The bills i

for their arrest, were of the denomination f

The recent change of mail routes
through our District is likely to be of se
rious inconvenience to many of our sub
scribers. ’Flie papers for the offices at
•Swift Creek, Mt. Elon and Hartsville,
which were received at the two first
named on the day after publication, and
at the latter in two days afterwards, are
now sent by a circuitous route through
Sumterville and BishopviHe, and do not
reach their destination in less than ten
days from the time of their publication.
There must be some mismanagement
somewhere, and we trust that as post
masters become more familiar with the
route, this will not be the case. It is re
ally too bad, iu this age of steam and
electricity, that subscribers not more than
ten or fifteen milt* from us should be al
most as long in receiving their papers as
it would take to make a trip to Liverpool.
A RICH TREAT.
We gat down the other day to dinner
at .Wr. Dotks's Hotel, where we had the
pleasure of partaking of a large rock fish
which was sirred up iu fine style, and
corresponded with the rest of the dinner
which we have seldom seen surpassed in
the country.
THDinilTS fliTilfllE EDICATIOV.
It has been a subject of remark as well
as of congratulation with us that since
we have been observing the progress of
things, there has been among the people
of our District as well as every other por
tion of the country of which we have
any know ledge, an increasing interest in
the education of youth. And especially
have we been pleased at thri growing con*
corn manifested on the part of parents
lor the education of their daughters.—

and barbarous nations regard only as the

navigation. Its width will soon be mea
sured in another direction by Ut« Wil
mington and Manchester railroad, which
will make us neighltors to (he remotest
inhabitants of the country. What then
is to deter us from estaWiehbig a school
of this character within our borders.—
We are satisfied that Darlington District
alone is able to support such a school.—
We have no accurate statistical informa
tion at hand by which to prove this opin
ion to be correct by figures, but tipon
looking over the catalogue of the Brad-
tord Springs Female Institute for the last
year, we see the names of twenty-five
students from Darlington District alone.
We know that Barhamville, Limestone
Sprirfgs, Salem, N. C., Carolina Female
College, Floral College, Greensboro, Ra
leigh, N. C„ and other places have tor
several years past had representatives
from our District. Who can doubt our
assertion that Darlington alone could sup
port a school of this kind. And we
need not speak of the advantages which
such an enterprise would confer on our
District as a community, in the dissemi
nation of intelligence and morality, but al.
so on its patrons individually, in saving
the expense and anxiety which it must
cost evety parent who sends his daugh
ter at a distance from home to school.—
We need say nothing of the advantages
of what in usually called home educa
tion. The day is passed when it is re
garded as indispensable that children
should be sent away from home to ac
quire either a substantial or an ornamen
tal education. And the advantages of
that parental supervision so necessary in
(he tender years’of youth, must be appre
ciated by every parent. We would sug
gest Springville as a suitable location for
such a school. Its reputation for health,
and its salubrious air and pure water
have long made it a summer resort for
the inhabitants of this village, and many
oiher portions of the country. The so
ciety is nowhere surpassed, and it is con
venient to the village, and at the same time
sufficiently removed from its temptations.
It is within eight or ten miles of the Fee
Dee river, and about the same distance
from the Wilmington and Manchester
railroad. Its central location in the Con
gressional District is also another strong
recommendation.

[FOR THE DARLINGTON FLAG.]
Mr. Editor: I felt highly compliment
ed upon the perusal of an article which
appeared in four last paper, in which I
was nominated as a suitable person to be
one of the Representatives for the Dis
trict of Darlington in the State Legisla
ture.
It is my chief desire to be useful to my
fellow-citizens, and it would be my pride
to occupy a position in which I could
more effectually advance their interests,
but I cannot at this time consent to invest
myself with the habiliments of a candi
date, as I know there are many gentle
men in our District with political aspira
tions, whose commanding talents would
enable them to serve the State better than
I could possibly do.
At some future time, if my country
men shall demand my services, they will

were completely at its mercy, being drift

carried past Diomed Island, at the dis
tance of a mile, and were closely beset
until the 1st July, when they got into
open water, and in two days reached
Cape Prince of Wales, where they found
the Plover, much shaken with her third
winter’s sojourn in those regions. The
Plover had not found any traces of Sir
John Franklin. There were reports of
white men seen at the source of Darabin
river. Search was made by assistant-
surgeon Adams, but nothing was found.
The Plover is expected soon with full de
tails of this search. But little further in
telligence is expected even from the En

The New York Times, treating of the
abuses inflicted on American citizens by
the authorities of Cuba, says:
“The policy of our Government in re
lation to several urgent matters wants
precedent, and therefore wants definite
settlement. Congress losses itself in dis
cussions upon conflicting views of inter
vention. But of equal concern are the
rights of citizens abroad ; and the ques
tions they have raised are as difficult as
they are abundant. Mr. Webster’s dic
tum is no doubt sound, but it needs appli
cation. The rule is not made absolute.
An American citizen, imprisoned in Hun
gary. is released upon petition. The im
prisonment and transpotation of Mr.
Thrasher was likewise the subject of the
humblest representations at the Court of
the Escurial American sailors, ship

confined agreeably to a semibarbarous
law, are to be demanded at the peril of

more barbarous.”
Indian Depredations in Texas and
El .Paso.—The Indians continue their
depredatiens along the Rio Grande and
Nueces, and even within fifty miles of San
Antonio. On the evening of the 21st ult.,
a party of them, fifteen in number, charg
ed on some fourteen Mexicans and Amer
icans who were out running wild horses,
near San Antonio, killed Ronaldo Navar
ra, a citizen of that place, wounded an
other, and drove off all but six of their
horses. The last Courier in from Laredo
reported several Mexicans killed by Indi
ans. Lieut. C. H. Tyler, of Company C,
3d dragoons, had sent a portion of his
men, under Corporal Stranger, against
the Indians, near Belleville. The Corpo
ral charged on fourteen of them, killing
four and capturing thirteen of their hor
ses. The rest escaped through the cha-
parrel.
By advices from El Paso to the 10th
ult., we learn that the Indians are also
very troublesome in that quarter. Ten
United States soldiers had been attacked
near Fort Fillmore, by the Apaches, and
four of them killed. A priest and his par
ty were also attacked at Puento. and three
men killed, and all their horses and pro
visions carried off. The Indians also
caught a party of Mexicans near El Paso,
tied their hands behind them, and sent
ihem into town, with their compliments
to the authorities.

Nobility of Sentiment.—Tlte follow

motto for that paper. What more suita
ble inscription can be placed und^r the
foilage of the Palmetto, we cannot con
ceive. it is the language of wisdom in all
its strength-and purity and therefore is
entitled to tlte appellation at the head of
these remarks:

which have so unfortunately divided and

Railroads.—The number of miles of
rariload constructed and in operation at the
inning of the preeant year in the Uni-
by official documents at
ted States is put,
Washington, at ten thousand eight hun
dred, and about the same amount is in
course of construction, with the prospect
of being finished within five years. It is
estimated that by 1860 there will have
been finished in the United States thirty
thousand miles of railroad. The cost of
Ihe roads already iu use is reckoned to be
$358,000,000, and it is supposed that
those now in progress about eleven
thousand miles—may be completed for
$i65/>00,000. The new railroads of the
South and Weet will be built at an aver
age expense of $15,000 per mile, while
those in the older States have cost about
$30,000 per mile. The great disparity
in the cost, it is also stated, has been oc
casioned by the want of extierienee in tho
construction of railroads while the system

amount of land damages which it is ne-

Mammoth Stkameus.—We see it

engineers of 1000 horse power and a
screw, whilst there will be eight masts,
with huge latteen sails. The vessels
are to be built of iron, and w ill he not
only shot, but fire proof, and, from the
novel method, though simple, and for
strength known to every school hoy,
their immense length renders them
more safe than those of smaller con
struction. It is calculated to carry
2000 passengers, with a theatre for

war open a battery of three hundred

that the depredations that had been

banished from the nation. If we recol

OBITUARY.
Departed this life, near Mt. Elon, on the
9lh ult., in the fortieth year of her age,
Mrs. Eliza Galloway, consort of Mr.
Isaiah Galloway. She has left a kind
and devoted husband, with five children,
to mourn their sad loss.
Bright be the place of thy soul!
No lovelier spirit than thine
E’er hurst from its mortal control.
In the orbs of the blessed to »hinc.
On earth thou wert all but divine,
As thy sodl shall immortally be;
And our sorrow may cease to repine
When we know that thy God is with
thee.
Died, at his residence, near Mt. Elon,
on Saturday morning the 27th ulU after
an illness of forty hours only, Benjamin
Best, Esq., in the fifty-fourth year of his
age, leaving a wife and seven children to
mourn, “but not as those without hope."
The loss of the head of a family, even
when there is reason to anticipate such
an event, is distressing indeed; but when
death strikes one down w ithout the least
warning of his approach, how exceed
ingly painful must be the bereavarnent.
In this instance the community has sus
tained a loss not to be repaired; a vacan
cy has been created which cannot be fill
ed ; one of earth’s best citizens has been
snatched away.
“The chamber where the good man meets
his fate,
Is privilege (^beyond the common walk
Of virtuous life, quite in the verge ot
heaven.”
