al have only time to add, with regard 10 the
crops in this vicinity that they have perhaps
never been surpassed The crops of Wheat
and Rye. which are now being harvested, are
large, and timely ma,ured. The Oat, Corn,
and Cotton crops, are as fine as can possibly
be imagined at this season Of the year. In
short the prospect is fair for an o0syfooing

'On Thursday 11th June. we attended an ex
animation of the Students Of the Edgefie
Male Academy.
This Institution is unde, the direction Of Mr.
III. K. McCLlSTocK, gentleman of grea, ex
perien;e as Teacher, and one who is well
known and appreciated in this community both
as citizen and a scholar
The young men were examined in the va
rious branches which are commonly taught IN
our Academies, and did no discredlt to their
instructor.
As the classes were numerous, and as they
all rave high evidence of merit, and proper
attention to their studies, we feel unwilling TO
distinguish any particular one of them' either
with praise or censure. We believe that the
parents and friends Of the boys, were all graft.
fled and pleased at their examination.
We take pleasure in expressing our COM
ple,e qualification, and in earnestly recommend
ing the Edgefeld Male Academy to the patron
age the surrounding country.
The Young men about the Village, accord
ing to the notice they gave in our last number
had an exhibition on Friday night, the lolh
instan,, a, which they played Miss in her
Teens" and "Fortune's FrotiG" with great
applause. We were agreeably surprised and
highly entertained by their performance. w"
expected something from them, but they dn
exceedingly well. If they had little more prac.
,ce, they could amuse almost any audience:
We sincerely wish their efforts much sue
cess, for they may be Of great service to them.
Stage acting will not only ,sach them to ac,
qure grace in their movements, but it VIII
give them confidence in themselves, and In
duce them to cultivate taste for the poets, and
learn 10 appreciate and fully understand the
mos, elegant composition o:eiery sort
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.
This body Is now in session. at the city o!
Richmond. Virginia, and its proceedings VIII
uuquestionably be of great interest to all, and
especially 10 the Baptist denomination ol this
country. I, was organized by the appointment
of Rev. WM. B. JOHNSON, of this State, Presi-
dent, and JAMES, e. CRANE Of Richmond, Va,
md JESSE HAarwsLl Of Alabama, Secretaries:
In our next number. we will endeavor to
give our readers those parts of its proceedings
we may consider of most importance; but we
mus, now say to our Baptist friends. as we said
~ our friends OF the McthcdiS, denomination
,ha, we cannot pretend to give them all that
their preachers and delegates may do in their
Con. ention. l, would require mammoth
sheet to do thii-it would probably occupy our
small paper for weeks, 10 the exclusion of all
other matter.
We are disposed to he obligins though, and
we will carefully select every thing that may
be of most interest, and we will most cheer
fully publish as much of it. as we ca' in JUS
tice to our patrons generally.
We learn from our exchanges, that the fol-
lowing Companies have rendered their servi.
