AETtRENr C4sE-Judge Harris has recently
rendered an Important decision, IN the Rensse-
laer circuit of New York. in the case of the
People vs.. William Van Rensselaer,; noticing
which the New York Courier and Enquirer
says:
"From a cursory examination Of the decision
it appears to be adverse to the tenants, (anti-
renters J the defects which the Judge claims to
have found in the claim of title during the first
seventy-fve years after the grant of the patent
having been healed, either by forty years ac-
quieseence on the part of those holding the
leases, or by act of the Legislature. Judge
Harris considers that there was good reason for
questioning the title until the year 1906 when
the late Stephen Van Rensselaer, ayaled' him
self Of the provisions Of a law committing
1utrents, which, with the previous recognition
of the title by the constitution Of the State, left
DO ground for contesting it."

FOR THE ADVERTISER.
MEssns EDITORS THE number of men who
have signalized themselves benefactors Of man
kind, and who have been found to disregard their
own interest for the good of mankind generally.
ha, been very small. But occasionally We see
one, who, like the immortal Fabricius soars ab vs
the common pursuits Of men, and abors exclusively
for the good of his country. Such men are indeed
amongst men as light houses on sea coasts to mari
ncrs, directing the traveller through storms. and
hurricanes, and midnight darkness to a port OF
safety and rcposc.
But MEssRs. EDITORS, We trust that there are,
even at Edgcfcld Court House, some such gene
rous souls, as may be moved BY noble sympathy to
aid their brethren in distress. 1t would certainly
confer benefit on all the citizens of this District
excepting a few persons at the village and in its
vicinity, to have the District divided. 1t would
diminish the great pressure Of business transacted
in our Courts and give greater facilities to al those
who arc desirous Of having their business attended
to with speed, and hence, if it did not bring the
Court House to all, it certanly woud benefit
all in this way. Instead Of two weeks Court and
call Court as We now compelled to have, the
business would be done in n much shorter time
Can any one believe that our District rcseniing
rs it now does, an area of more than seventeen
hundred square miles and containing population
of nearly forty thousand, will continue long with
out being divided But it is said that it will dis
turb the compromise in our Legislative arrange
mcnts yet every person who is acquainted with that
arrangement knows very well that 4 Judicial Dis
trict will not affect it in the least possible manner
Our State has conferred the same benefit that We
are asking on Districts tto larger than ours,
and We believe she will not be partial in this matter,
could we be fairly represented. But when our
own members oppose it how can we expect success
If they will give us steady firm and vigorous pull
at the wheel and fail, then, and not until then,
we shall believe that the members from the low
country are sternly opposed to our project.
ow-citizcns let US be united in our efforts to
accommodate our District, but should we fail, it
will only be failure of that kind, which has char
actcrzcd many great and good men-namey, con-
tending for the rights Of man. SALUDA.

VISIT OF THE SEMINOLE DELEGATION TO THE
PREsIDENT.-The Seminole Indians now in
Washington on Friday visited the President, and
We're introduced by Mr.. Lea, the Indian Com
missioner. A number of gentlemen were pre-
sent during the Interview among whom were
the Secretary of War and the Secretary Of the
Navy.
After they lad been introduced Billy Bow
legs, their chief, made short address to the
President, in which he spoke of q treaty his
tribe had made with Gen. Worth, by which
they understood they were to be permitted to
iemain in Florida on condition of remaining
within certain limits, and of good behavior.
Fhe President, after the chief had concluded,
addressed the delegation ut SOME length en-
planning TO them in a Kind and familiar manner
the relations that existed between their tribe
and the u. s. Government, and the course that
would have to lie pursued IN regard in their
removal from Florida. He told them that what
they called the treaty made BY Gen. Worth was
but mere temporary arrangement, or truce,
such rs was often made by commanders in
time of war, and that It could not prevent the
enforcement of the treaty by which they had
agreed to 60 West. This treaty, the President
Informed them, must be performed, that there
was no way, to avoid it, and that it would be
for their benefit to observe it peaceably and
quietly. He advised them at once to prepare
for removal as the only way of saving the
remnants of their tribe, and assured them in
thc event Of their compliance of the protection
and favor Of the Government At the conclu-
sion of the address the Indians took their
leave.-Ballimorc American.

REGIMENTAL PARADE,

OK Thursday Of last week VIC attended the Regi
m.n,al Muster 4, the cold Wells. Early in the
morning of that day great number Of our acquaint
ances hurryng to The field, for the parade
ground of the Bloody Seventh apparently possesfol
for our people unusual attraction Besides being the
central parade field between EdgeGrld, Hamburg and
Granitsvie, it possesses various local advantages
too numerous TO mention.
On our way we were much gratiied 20 see tha,
the Plank Road las been built and travelled fol
the distance Of miles from tho Pine House There
i, then an interval of about three miles not yc,
in order but in process of preparation, and TO ell
appearances indicating speedy progress.
Upon reaching the field of action we we're saluted
(uninen,ionallY howcver) by the roar OF cannon,
which nevertheless had its accustomed effect, and
caused us TO think Of Us well smell the viainous
saftpe,re." Tho ground occupied by the Regiment
was peculiarly adapted for display. Indeed it was a
splendid sight to see the Ergadier General and his
finely mounted, richly caparisoned and beautifully
uniformed staff charge forth ut the sound Of the
Cannon. They were received by the Regiment with
the usual salute.
Meantime sonorous blowing martial sounds" !"
which together with the deep booming Of the cannon,
the continual glear' Of rnusketry and the far flash
of the red artillery" formed of the richest scenes
we have ever enjoyed the pleasure of Witnessing
Never have wo seen aught more beautiful-around
"The rushing crowd,
The decorated field, tive long array,
The cashng music, and the laundering
OF far artillery
The standards, the pumes, the coursers,
The BANNERS, the mobiles and the knights,
mingled with the rushing Of the multitude, presented
indeed AMIDST imposing and gotgeous spectacle.
The ero!utions Of the day were NOT performed df
we nny be alowedto express our opinion, for it is
but an opinion, We are not well vesed in the
military art well and NTH that readiness, which
from the appearance os the companies and the well
known qualifications Of thcir several and respective
officers, had anticipated. We seize this opportu
nifty, however, TO notice tile great nleres, manifested

REV, #. s, ARTHUR,

THIS worthy Divine has felt himself impellcd to
administer something of castisaon. 1t Is for
our misconduct in expressing on opinion about
certain religious sparrngs which under: TODD
from several sources, were being exchanged among
the different denominations at Grrcnyille village.
Perhaps, have alrrudy suid We ind done better
not to have touched upon the subject at all. But,
having done 80, we confess disposition to defend
ourselves ut least against any charge Of mpiey or
rreligious meddling in the matter. Our friend
whose name is the head Of this paragraph, has hit
upon the very qualification" we mentally connected
with the few remarks penned BY us in regard to this
Religious Controversy" So obvious did consider
this qualification" that are inclined to esteem
that libcraliy being rather inconsiderable which
would not take it for granted And this too without
bringing into the estimate that principle Of Christian
pety which obliges its advocates to place the best
construction upon the doings of others. In this in.
stance especially, We had not expected the animad
venion We have incurred. 1t s with pleasure that
VIC number ourselves among Mr.. AhTHUR's friends
and admirers. Trso, we used the term " Puseyi,e,
but only as a quotation from the Southern Bap-
lists" remarks. Those remarks We coWidered 30
F." severe" az to form of the circumstances which
led US into the error of using the word :" bitter"
And the application of tho epihet g. Pufeyitc," to
Mr.. A., was one of the principal items which pre-
scnted III. Bapsts' language to u, in the light of
uncalled for severity" Last week, Baptist cor
respondent from Greenville corrected us, and We
expressed our pleasure at being placed "rectus in
cathedral" This week, one Of different denomina.
ton does the aame thing, with a fraction more Of
rebukng and We renew tho expression, with the
assurance that We appreciate the motives which
have prompted rcprinanders in both cascs.
Mr. ARrnUn's argument upon Christian disputa-
tio has both edited and satisfied u.s. bu, this /, not
what we muant by prdngling."

PROSPERITY OF TIE CoUNTRY.-The New
York Journal Of Commerce says the merchants
from the interior who have arrived thus far, all
represent the country as in a prosperous condi-
tibn, and prepared for an active trade. This
statement is confirmed by the character Of the
goods which are most in demand, particularly in
fabrics adapted for dresses, the most active trade
being altogether in better qualities. Those
most familiar with the business here, must have
noticed that in "hard tmes," under stringent
money market the lower grades Of goods, both
for women's and mems wear, are sought after to
the comparative neglect of choicer fabrics. AT
present it is very difficult to sell the cheaper
grades of dress goods, and this is sufficiently
characteristic of the state of feeling throughout
the country.
