The Season.-We have had several
light rains during the present week and
two or three heavy rains during the last
two days of the last week, aud shese have
iu some measure relieved the low and up
land crops. We regret however, TO be
obliged TO say that the river continues to
increase in sadness. We yesterday saw
the managers of rice crops from every
part of The neighborhood, and they all
agree that the rice crop must be short, un-
less we have rain at an early day. The
Pee Dee is now salt as high up as Col.
Hunts plantation which is 10 miles above
town. and Of course the same distance on
The other rivers. The crops however in
those neighborhoods are at present very
fine. while in the immediate neighborhood,
they must be short already a, least
fourth. owing to the long drought and salt
water.-Winyok Observer.

seph Constitution, met in this city. A
quorum of both Houses being present, The
Senate was organized by the unanimous
election of the Hon. James A. Berthelol
as President of the Senate. and Thomas
F. King as Secretary. Mr.. Berlhelot, the

flying TO his old friends and acquaintance.
On to day The House was organized by
the election of the Hon. Hugh, ,Archer as

all Democrats good and true.
The Democratic majority on joint ballot

No Gentleman.-Profaniiy is generally
condemned as low, vulgar, ungen'le
maalike vice. The condemnation is just,
for it is utterly inconsistent with every
trait Of the gentleman, accurtliug TO the
proper definition Of that term. A senIle
man is man who respects the rights and
feelings of others, as the best means of
promoting their happiness. According to
this definition, "A gentleman will not swear;
for he will NOT deliberately check the ven

and much less will invoke more than
human power TO aid him in inncling pain.
Aud among whom do we find this vice
most prevalent Among ,huse must

because intemperance impairs self-respec'

Camp street, where Mr.. kendis and a
negro broker named PetIiwav, were walk
ing. and drawing pistol, deliberately shot
Pi'taway, the ball entering his left side,
passing through his body and coming ont
in front. Peltiway, as we are informed,
Immediately exclaimed. II am shot by
the mother of my child" The young
woman did not attempt to escape, hut
throwing the pistol on the floor. called on
n gentleman who was in the Store to take
her before Recorder Baldwin, and on her
being asked why she had shot Pathway,

throughout the day perfectly composed,

The causes which led 10 this affair are
painful 10 contemplate. The Story is
soon told. II is record Of seduction, de-
ser,ion and revenge. As we heard il, the
young woman was seduced by Petliway
under promise of marriase-a child was
the fruit Of their Intercourse which is
since dead. Pelliway refused TO marry
her, euleaver-d to blast her character and
offered her money 10 he released from his
engagement, which she promptly refused
demanding as due to her honor, fuIhimeut
Of his promise. Finding all her endea-
vors fraitless to obtain reparaIion and
goaied TO desperation by his shameful
conduct towards her, she formed The drlib.

accomplished her purpose as we hare STA
ted. The foregoing statement, we be-
lievc, embodics the leading features of it.
il is needless for US TO say that in this
community where cases of seduction are
so rare, The sympathies Of the public are
altogether with The young womau She
is confined in the Second Municipality
police jail, hut is allowed all the liberty
that she can enjoy within the enclosure OF
