that few days since, some hands engaged in
digging trench on MIR. 5. A. Mavericks place,
at Alamo, struck upon the part Of cannon, in
digging out which they discovered twelve others,
varying in size from small wall pieces to those
ten feet III length. Among them are three eigh-
teen Founders, two copper twelve Founders, Two
copper and one iron eight FOUNDER, and four
swivels, or wall pieces. The general impress
sion is that they were buried by Travis previous
to The fill Of Alamo.

how good men nay be blinded by party prejudice,
Now the question is, shall Free Suffers emulate in
any respect these proceedings? For one, Mr.. Edi-
tor, answer, Mol We cannot vie with our OPP
ponents if we should undertake to do so. We have no
money thus foolishly 10 spend. / do not believe we
shall lose strength BY trusting to the operation Of
principle rather than Of noise Let The Wings
spend two hundred dollars an evening in railroad
excursions. Can not We do more good by spending
half The money in the circulation of useful docu-
ments? Let us appeal to the intellect and the heart
rather Than the passions. Let US rally our young
men who think, our mechanics and arlizans, and
talk over wi them The principles avow until
our hearts glow with common love in our Curious
cause. Let us unite ourselves with our brethren in
other towns, not by midnight and revelry,
but by the frequent interchange Of high sentiments.
Then will our party be worthy our cause, and good
aud true men, when they know us, will honor and
support us. SALATHIEL

RISING pHGNIXLrRE.

WE are pleased to announce that the new and
handsome block Of buildings, upon the burnt square
in our village, is Mt length very near completion.
One tenement of the corner building, belonging TO
AvoRY BLAND, Esq, is already finished and is occu-
pied by Mr.. WILLIAM P. BUTLER as Dry Goods
establishment The proportions of this room are on
an unusually large scale for country village. 1t is
60 feet long by 80 feet wide, and is being fitted up
and arranged with degree of style and taste pecu-
liar to its present occupant. The remaining part of
the block, belonging TO SIMEON CHRISTIE, Esq, is
also nearly done and is on scale equally commo-
dious with the one just mentioned. The main apart
ment Of COL CnRIsTIE's part Of the block will be
opened at an early day by the firm Of WILLIAMS L.
CHRISTIE, Dry Goods merchants. All the other
tencments (three in numberl will be filled, rs we
understand, Immediately. And this side Of our
square will soon again present cheerful and inviting
appearance.
We may as we'll call the attention of the public
here 10 the fact that the site Of the old Jail, which
building was burnt in the recent fire, will be sold at
early day by the commissioners Of public build
ings. This sale will offer capitalists favorable
opportunity for good investments and we hope some
purchaser will take advantage Of it, having both the
means and the spirit erect an edifcc which shall
be permanently useful to himself and ornamental to
town. The situation tbarring of course all old
associations is a very eligible one.

not suffer them to be dunned for the pitful SUN of
two dollars May its highly worthy Editors pros
per much in the "sinc qua non," and in every
other way; but especially may they be compliment

is SO justly their due at the hands Of an enlightened

A PROBABLE MISTAKE

If our brother of the NcuJerry Sentinel, in one OF
his late editorials supposed that the Railroad meeting
for which there call in paper had in contern.
plation the Savannah river route he is entirely mista.
KEN The object desired is to unite Aiken with the
Greeneville and Columbia Rail Road at Cambridge or
thcreabouts Whether this would be more or less dis.
tasteful to Newbcrry friends than the other route,
we arc unable to say. But it is certain that nature
points out as the proper for the main trunk of the
great Rabun Gap road now in contemplation. 1t is not
proposed TO dverge in the least from the most direct
course to take Edsceld village any other village in
the way. Is not this the correct principle by which to
be guided i'll constructing great work to stand for all
time! Can any other policy lead so vast an uadera-
king 10 successful and profitable perfection!

A CORRECTION AND AN EXPLOITATION.

IN alludng last week 10 the Railroad Convention
which is shortly TO meet at Anderson c. H., we
should have named the first of July, instead of the
fourth, as The day upon which that body would as
semble. We hope that those, who have been ap-
pointed delegates TO represent Edgefed District in
that Convention will observe this corrections as i, is
especially desired that they, to man, should be
there, TO minute.
We would here repeat, for ourselves and for the
community with whose wishes we are acquainted,
the ardent hope that this opportunity may not be
suffered to pass neglected There is chance ahead,
that the door of RAILROAD enterprise may be opened
for the admission Of our district into the noble race
of improvement, which charactcrizcs this rapidly
advancing age. Will not those who have been hon
ored with the appointment of delegates to the An
derson Convention, to it that every advantage is
reapcd from this opportunity which it is possible 10
reap at the present uncture. BY doing, they will
merit and receive the applause of large and deeply
interested constituency.

COM NJ MIC TON
FOR TIIE'ADvERTIsER.

N1Essns. EDrrons The Hodges and Fuller In
stitutcs closed the First Session Of the present
year on Thursday and Friday, the 10Th and lltll
inst, by private examination before the Trustees
and Patrons.
Thursday the 10Th wns devoted to the Fuller In
stitute. The full and strict examination Of the va
rious classes by the Rev. T.J. PEARcE, Principal
and Miss NJ. C. PELoT, Assistant, gave satisfactory
evidence to the Trustees and Patrons, not only OF
the qualifications of the Teachers, but from the pro-
ciency Of the pupils Of their assidious devotion to
the interest of those placed under their care. Beau
tifu specimens of Monochromatic Drawing and
Embroidery, executed under the direction of Miss
e. McANALLY, lnstructrcss in Music, Drawing,
Painting and Embroidery, were exhibited, evincng
both skill and taste
In the evening n large audience met in the COM
modious room Of the Fuller institute, to attend to
the reading Of compositions, and the performance Of
the Class in Vocal and Instrumental Music, which
gave general satisfaction both rs to the improve
ment of the pupils, and competency of the Teachers
The A. NJ. of Friday the llth was occupied by
Mr.. j. NJ. PELor in the examination of the English
Mathematical Department; and the p NJ. by Mr..
E. A. STEED in the examination Of the Classical
Department of the Hodges Institute.
more thorough, rigid, impartial and satisfactory
examination the Trustees have never witnessed.
AS the Principal of this Institution, Mr. L. a.
SrEED has not only given evidence of possessing
those general qualifications which make a good
Teacher, but of the happy talent Of inducing the
pupils to application, and the love of their studies
The pupils have the opportunity of attending
sabbath-school and preaching every Lords day in
the Chapel of tho Hodges Institute
The exercises of these Institutions the past Scs-
sion, have moro fully satisfied the minds of the
Trustees that the South, not only possesses suii
cheney of native talent for conducting her cduca-
tona interests, but that is particularly adapted to
her peculiar institutions.

ALABAMA WHEAT.-The wheat culture, as
general thing was introduced into South Ala
bama more than ten years ago, and no crop,
not even corn, has proved uniformly more Ger
tain and satisfactory. With the solitary excep-
tion of 1851, when 4 severe frost came just rs
the wheat was heading and almost entirely de-
stroyed it, 10 causuaty Of Importance has hap
pened to it. The rust has rarely shown itself
and smut hardly been known during all this
time. So certain indeed has the crop been con-
sidered that the culture has rapidly extended
during the last four or five years. When we
take into view the slovenly mode of culture and
the little labor bestowed on it, we doubt wheth.
er the most fertile portion of the West gives
better result. In NIL kinds of soil-sandy up
lands, river and creek bottoms, red lands and
prairies-it has succeeded equally well, the
general product being from ten to fifteen
bushels to the acre. The latter description of
land, containing large amount of calcareous
matter, seems peculiarly adapted to the growth

THE CROPS.

WE understand that the Corn crop of our District is
generally fine The only difficulty in the way of its
present rapid progress mature abundance, is the i'm
mense amount of grass and weeds which accompany
its upward growth. Should we be blessed, however,
with few more soaking showers, Com will be plen-
full, grass no grass.
Cotton is not better than usual. We regret to hear
that the cool nights of the present week have caused it
to look quite dropping and in localities to die out
considerably.

report average crop.

: E, EUROPEAN.

TIE late diplomatic revelations in Europe afe ishly
interesting and full of importance tsecms that most,
if not a Of the nations Of the Continent begin to look
upon LOUIS NAPOLEON as an usurper, ana MS es'ap-
lishcd government supreme IN the highest degree
The allied powers Of Russia Berlin and Vienna have
formed coalition, evidently with the intention OF
checking if possible, the career Of this daring man.
They are apparently determined to enforce the treaties
Of 1914 and 1915; indeed the powers OF Great bnta
Austria, Russia and Prussia undoubtedly pledged
by their own acts to maintain the provisions contained
in the treaty of the Goth November 1885, by virtue OF
which the descendants 6f. NAPOLEON BUoNAPARTE
were perpetually excluded from supreme power in
France. elf that infacton, says correspondent Of
the London Times, was tolerated in 1913, such is
the argument of the Cabnets the reason Is that the
Powers were occupied with their own afars that the
treaties called into question in Germany ITSELF
and that Europe was then in situation full OF peril
and uncertainty, into the midst of which the Presdcn
cy of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON glidcd almost with
out being noticed" s,--iff
Now, however, since things arc rather quiet, why
do they not insist upona ratification OF the treaty
All admit that LOUIS NAPOLEON has been invested
with absolute power ever since l84S and particularly
since the Doth of December, 1851; md this being
granted, Infringement Of the treaty necessarily fol
lows. Viewed under any circumstances and in any
light, he is guilty Of usurpaton; for he either scizcd
upon the throne, claimed it by right Of succession
from the Great NAPOLEON. In the first event, he il
equally an uaurper with CRoMwELL-in the sccont
more SO; for NAroLEos's government WINS never nd
mitted to be other than government dc facto II

ent writing from Fredoni:., Wis. goth May,
says, aThc farmers, who have long lacked
spiritlcss. dull and discouraged, in consequence
of the repeated failure of the wheat and potato
crops, are beginning to smile over the improved
