Exclamation.

In the communication to the public, by the
Board OF Trustees of the Edgefeld Female In
stitute, in the Advertiser of the 9th inst, there
is the following sentence" The Trustees have
sought and obtained the opinion Of member Of
the Committee, which recently met at Green
wood, that, in that matter there was nothing
affecting the moral character Of Mr.. RAYMOND"
As the words used, though honestly by the
Trustees in their communication, may be con-
strucd to include moro than the member of the
Committee intended, lie thinks it proper to use
the privilege of explaining in his own words the
opinion which he intended to convey to the
Trustees, and which he has expressed to others
on the matter. The words are-That the men,
Der of the Committee is willing to repeat the
words of the Committee, which are "That the
conduct of Mr.. RAYMOND towards the young
lady in his family was imprudent and unbeeom-
ing" Beyond this the Committee could not
90, from the evidence before them. And the
member of the Committee added that he had
never thought, and that he had never heard any
person say, that there was any criminality on
the part of Mr. RAYMOND in that manner.

DEpAnTED this life on the 25th October, Mrs.
JULIA ANN ROPER, in the filtieth year of her
age.
To all those who knew the deceased, it is Of
little Importance to say she was truly the affec-
tionate wife and mother, the kind neighbor and
mistress, for all the relations she most satisfacto-
rity filed. BUTT may be interesting 70 themand
others, to know that the profession Of religion,
which she made about twenty years ago, was
not only maintained in her department of life,
but was also her sweet solace in death. And
was, especially, her comfort in her protracted
illness She had been afflicted with Asthma the
last eighteen years of her life, and many times,
by this distressing disease, looked at death as at
the door, and yet had no fear. A few hours
before she died she asked the attentive Doctor
if she was not dying. When he informed her
that he could do no more for her, and suggested
that another Doctor be called I'M she calmly
replied, ~ leave that with you,' and in a few
moments was no more.
So we may with good faith subscribe to the
SENTIMENT" Write blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord, from hcnccforth, yea saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and
their works do follow them"

the most strenuous in their opposition begin to
have doubts of the ptopriety of that opposition.
This is an indication, upon which, notwithstand-

GIN HOUSE BuRNT.-Mr. John s. Car
vile, a worthy and much esteemed citizen of
this town, met with a serious lvss in the
burning of his gin house and its contents, at
his plantation in the upper part of this Dis
trict, on Wednesday evening the 22nd ut.
The gin was running at the time ana the
fire, it is. supposed, was caused by the irIc,
ton of the machinery or sparks from gravel
in the cotton. There were consumed about
twenty bales of cotton, a considerable qunn-
tity of wheat and oats, Il new wheat throsher
and fan, besides the gin and the running
gear. Mr.. Carwile's loss cannot be esll-
mated Mt less than ono thousand dollars. We

renee as piece of local news last week, had
