Meeting OF Stockholders.

On Fridayth 10Th inst, meeting ofthe
ofthc Grccnvilc and Columbia
Rail Road takes place at Newberry, for the
purpose oilocatiug the road. The question
will soon be decided whether the road will
passthrough Abbeville ornot. We lcarnthat
the Surveyors spcels highly of the route
through this district, and that the cost of con-
struction will amount to nothing like the esti-
mates that have been made. We have not
been able to gather from the Commissioners
the precise amount subscribed IN the district,
but have no doubt Abbcvillc will bc able TO
make pretty strong showing upon that
occasion. We arc very certain Of one
thing, should Abbeville be defeated in get
ting the road to pass through the district,
the spirit that has been aroused here will not
lay dormant, but will move over the people
until rail road will pass from one end of
the district TO the other.

The Palmetto Regiment.

The extract below is the only thing we
have seen from our regiment since tho cap
ture Of the city of Mexico ltappears that
the Palmetto regiment was in the front with
the party who stormed the garita at Cha
pultepec, which accoun, for their severe loss.
Our regiment has suffered quite enough i'll
this war, and it is our humble opinion that
some measure should be adopted to relieve
them; according to the extract below, only
eighty or ninety were able to enter the city
of Mexico after the battles, such had been
the reduction of the regiment. 1t cannot be
called regiment now, and we presume
there are none of them who would be will
ling to be Incorporated with other reg iments.
Government should discharge them, for
their sufferings and losses have been greater
than any regiment that has gone to Mexico,
the celebrated first Mississippi regiment not
excepted, and their gallantry, and thier
bearing, has been and will ever be, the adj
miration Of the world.
We repeat it some thing must be done to
relieve the remnant of Cardinals gala mt
sons. 1t is true they have volunteered for
the wal, a most unfair requisition. But
suppose that the war continues, and it NAV
for years yet, shall they be required to re-
main in the service until the last man shall
perish, and the Palmetto Regiment become
extinct? Let these things be considered by
South Carolina.
"The South Carolina Regiment behaved
with distinguished gallantry at Churubusco,
and again at the storming of Chapultepec
In the former they suffered terribly, losing
one-third of their number, and very severe
ly also in the latter, so that now, out of the
nine hundred men, who composed the Re-
gimcnt when it left Charleston, it can mus
ter but about eighty or ninety. / should
say, though, that sickness at Puebla had
reduced them more than half before we left
that city. S. Sumter was wounded at Chu-
rubusco, but is rapidly regaining his health"

FLYING ARTILLERY

FLY ING A RTIL l. E r Y.
THIS formidable arm of modern warfare
has achieved so'much glory for our armies,
that we find many persons desirous to know
who tioduced ii into the American service.
We believe its adoption was owing to the
energy of MIR. Poinsett, and it will be seen
that another honorable citizen of our State
gave it his attention and support long since.
We copy from late number Of the Nash.
vile Banner, the following, which is rich
in interesting historical "reminiscences
sin the Banner of the 9th, notice an
account ofthe introduction of flying artillery
as an arm in the military service of the U.
States. The statements there made are no
doubt true; but it is equally true that the late
Gen. w. r. Davie, then of Halifax N. c.,
called the attention of our Government to
the subject early in 1901, on his return from
France, where he had been Minister.
The residence of Gen. Davie, in Paris,
was the Hotel ades Osseons-its front looking
on the Champ de Mars'-where the troops
that fought the famous battle of Marengo
were daily trained (at least the raw recruits
say 20, O,0OO) under the direction of Napoleon
and his favourite marshals, including Ian
mes, Duroc, &c. &c. The drills and re-.
views were in the immediate vicinity, and
in front of Gen. Davies hotel. His taste
LED him to notice attentively the tactics and
training OF the troops, and their splendid
success induced him to place high estimate
on the value of the French system Of artil-
lery. if i Il 80, vi

young Norwegian in the West, saying that
more than 10000 of his countrymen were
now living in North Illinois and Wisconsin,
and that 1000 more are to join them the
coming spring. He said that no more than
one in four of these countrymen were. in
possession of the Bible, and implored the

DIVISION IN THE METHODIST CHURCH.
A writer in the Nashville Christian Advo.
cate, in letter addressed to. Rev. DR.. Ell
liot, Of Cincinnati, threatens, if the General
Conference Of the Northern Methodist
Church should refuse to divide the proper.
ty with the Church South, that suit in
chancery may be the result. And should
the Court require the North to settle with
the South on the plan of separation, he says
that it would oblige them to pay over to the
South at least Sl50,000, in annual install
ments of $25, 1000 each. Should the Court
disregard the plan of separation, and decide
upon the principles of general equity, it will
require the Northern Book Room to pay
over at once sumequal to $350,eOo more
or less. ~
