4 MILE BRANCH ACADEMY, BARNWELL
DISTRICT.

WE cheerfully COMPLY with the request padc Of
us, to call attention to this school. From refcc1-
ces pointed out to u.s. We have no doubt il is con-
Quoted with perfect order and prcsrety. The late
examination and exhibition. from the account Civ
Ell in tic letter below, must have been al occa-
sion Of uncommon interest. II is pleasant TO hear
of wcll-conducied Academies spTinging mp and
hourishing in different sections. We congratulate
our Barnwell friends of the Savannah side upon
the prosperity of this growing institution in their
midst. Go on-the attention of Edgcield will be
attracted by its light. In days past, Edgcfield
helped to educate many of your girls. Pay us
back nos by helping to educate our boys. We
have no doubt you will.
The following is brief notice which has been
forwarded to us, of the school, its principal, the
examination. &c.
MILE BRANCH, BARSwELL Dist, S. C..
June 23d, 1851.
COL SIMKISs-Denr Sir:-The semi-annual
examination of the 4 Mile Branch Academy. Barn
we'll District, came of on Friday last the Goth
inst. and though the weather was very unfavor-
able. lit raincd all day,l there Were some 300 or
400 people in attendance, UPON the occasion. The
school is n very large one. Mr. J. i. CRoSLAND is
the teacher. and an ab,cr teacher or Il better man
cannot be found upon The globe. He has fine
set of boys, and n good many scholars studying
the different languages. The scholars were exam.
ined by several very competent gentlemen, and
they reported that they had never seen boys get
along so well as they did.
There was barbecue on the day of the exami-
nation. At night the services were opened by n
chaste and eloquent address from Mr.. CLINTON
BRowN, of Barnwell G. L.. on Education. which
was received with great applause after which the
scholars followed i'll their respective order And
now for the fun Major JONES Couriship was ac-
ted in FULL and was received with tumultuous ap-
plausc by the people. who had waited (notwiLh
standing the bad nighU with the utmost patience
to see 1t performed and after that, they had ne
gro dialogue which, rest assured, was acted 6ro,Dn
up." This dialogue was composed by the Boys of
the school. Every person who witnessed the PEI
formances says that il would have done honor tUa
theatrical corps. After the exhibition was over
the ladies and gentlemen had dance which they
kept up until morning. In short, it was one Of
the pleasantcst days that have ever spent.
And now let me say to you that if any of your
Edgefcld boys wish 10 go from Edgcfeld to n
school where they can, OIL cheap terms. be prepar
ed for College, let them come to Mile Branch
Academy. 1t is a very healthy place. Board cun

society around is excellent.
This Academy s situated on the Savannah riv-

Fatal ARRAY in Barnwell District.

We are indebted to Il friend for the parlic-
ulars Of n horrid atfray, which occurred at
Barnwell e.. H., S. c., on the Eth Of June.
Ii appears from the account nf our correspon.
dent, that Mr.. John Mcdaniel, who kept a
boarding house and grocery store in the vii
lagc, dismissed two young men-viz: Daniel
Tobin and VIM. Tobin from his house, for
some cause not mentioned. These young
men, in company with some others, entered
the grocery store of Mr.. Mcdaniel the same
day, and violently assaulted him--beating him
over the head and infiicting wounds of whieh
lie died in forty-fve hours afterwards. His
Clerk, Mr. Thomas Richardson, was also Sc
vcrely beaten-having received no less tnan
six wounds in his head alone. Fortunately,
these have not proved fatal.
Immediately after the assault. the young
men engaged in il cndeavored to make their
escape Two of them-Wiliam Tobln and
Seab Fannin-succeeded in doirg SO. four
olhers-Danicl Tobin, W. E. Murphy, How,
ell Baysdcn and Pitts were arrested and
safely lodged in Jail.
A few days after this melancholy even: o
meeting of the citizens of Barnweil L. II.
was held and resolutions passed to clear the
tuwn of all abandoned characters. Maj. a;
p. Aldrich was chairman and Mcssrs. Samuel
Bailey and J. G. w. Duncan appointed Sec
retaries. Several reports have been made 10
the Chairman of that meeting in relation to
its objects, and several of the most suspicious
characters have vacated the village. we
trust that there may be no repetitions OF such
shocking outrage in that enlightened COM
munity. ;. =,
The above particulars arc derived from the
iptellrent Coroner of the District, and may
be considered perfectly reliable.-Augusta

object sought after, returned home =
Alter annoanciRg his arrival, and his
change Of condition, he volunteered the
following advice 10 his old bachelor
friends:
But in announcing the fact OF ouT

young and green then, and Of course
knew but one side of the subject.
Now stand up here, you consarned

in the name Of bachelors, and answer

Discovery IN EGYPT.-A most
interesting discovery has been made
in Egypt. II is known that there
exists in Mount Zabarah, situated on
an island in the Red Sea, a mine Of
emeraIds which was formerly worked
by the pachas Of Egypt, but abandon
ed In the last years OF the reign Of
Mehemet Ali. An English company
have solicited and recently obtained
authority to resume the working of
this mine, which is believed to be still
rich with precious stones. Mr.. Al
Ian, the engineer Of the company,
while directing some important exca-
vations in this place, has discovered
at great depth traces Of an ancient
gallery, which must evidently be re-
lerred to the most remote antiquity.
Upon removing the rubbish, they
found tools and ancient utensils, and
stone upon which is engraved a
hieroglyphic inscription, now partly
delaced. This circumstance proves
the truth OF the opinion expressed by
Belzoni on the strength Of other in
dications, that this mine was worked
in ancient times.
The nature and form OF the imple-
ments discovered, and the con6gura-
ton Of the gallery, the plan of which
has been readily traced, prove most
concInsIvely that the ancient Egyp-
tians were skiIlul engineers.
II seems, from examination Of the
stone which has been discovered, that
the frs. labors in the mine of Zabarah
were commenced in the reign Of Sesos.
tris the Great, or Ramses Sesostris, who,
according TO the most generally receiv-
ed opinions, lived about the year 1850
before Christ, and who is celebrated by
his immense conquests, as well as By
the innumerable monuments with which
he covered EgyPt.-COm. AdU.

It's tail is in the shape of fan, and is

those of the human hand, but no claws.
Its mouth and nose resemble those of a
COW; il has teeth on the lower Jaw, but
not one on the upper. A female was
also taken, but it was so large, and be-

desperate exertions TO escape, that the
captors were compelled to shoot it.
They preserved the skin however, which
was fifteen feet long.-Liuing Age.

IWeuI1 Nos wake the Past Again.

Sweet lady, though the ambient air
Ne'er foafed sweeter strains
Thar tremble on thy harp-strings now
And hold the soul in chains
pray nee cease that gentle lay,
And wake bolder strain;
1would not yield to saddened thought,
Or wake the past again.
Yon moon that scars in azure blue,
High up the vault of heaven,
Still pours its holy light on earth
Soft as the dews of even.
And yonder stars, that gem the sky,
Still burn as brightly on
As when they first together sang
Upon creations morn,
And earth is still as beautiful,
As bright the summer flowers,
As when plucked them for thy hair,
In childhood's sinless hours;
There is no change in earth or sky,
They're as bright as e'er before,
Yet, lady, 10 a saddened heart,
They seem not as of yore.
All, time hath wrought dreary change,
A weary change indeed,
Since love and song have ceased TO
charm,
And hopes broken reed;
Then, lady, though the ambient air
Meier bore a sweeter strain,
] would not yield 10 thoughts like these,
Or wake the past again.

When the day of life Is dreary,
And when gloom thy course en-

When thy steps are faint and weary,
And thy spirit dark with Clouds
Steadfast still in thy well doing,
Let thy soul forget the past
SteadGast still the right pursuing,
Doubt not, joy will come at last.
Striving still and onward pressing,
Seek no future years to know,
But deserve the wished-for blessing,
It shall come though be it slow;
Never tiring-upward gazing
Let thy fears aside be cast,
And thy trials tempting--braving,
Doubt not! Joy shall come at last!
Keep not thy soul regretting,
Seek the good-spurn evils thrall,
Though thy foes thy path besetting,
Thou shalt triumph o'er them all;
Though each year but brings thee sad
ness,
And thy youth be fieeting fast,
There'Il be time enough for gladness,
Doubt not, joy will come at last!

His strong arm shall be thy guard

It shall lead to thy reward.
