The Contemplated Rail Road.

At meeting held at the Court Honsc on
last sale day, the following resolution was
adopted, viz: THAT n meeting of the citi.
zens of this District be held in the Court
House on the first Monday in August next,
Tor the purpose of adopting such measures
MS may tend to the accomplishment of this
great work"-the building of Rail Read
from Lancaster c. ii, to some accessible
point.
1t is certainly known to every citizen of
this District, that no project can be con-
ceivcd of, which would tend to advance not
only our pccuniary benefit, but to promote
our comfort and convenience, than n Rail
Road 10 connect this place with some other
point. ny which we could he brought into
closer proximity with the metropolis ofthe
State. 1t is thought (and zoe hare reason go
TO thlnk) that there will be an abundant
crop OF corn made this ycar-with n Rail
Road running by our doors, when we have
surplus, it could be sent TO Charleston.
where it would find ready market On the
Other band, when our crops arc short, and
we find ourselves forced to purchase. the
cars would bring it to our plantations. and
we would be enabled to effect purchases at
at least 20 or 30 per cent. cheaper than We
could without the road
IL is of no use for us to rchcarsc 70 the
citizens of Lancaster District the benefits
they would derive from Rail Road running
through her borlcrs--they know the udvan-
tages to be derived as we'll as we do. The
people on the line from here to Chesterville
are anxious for it, and we have heard of sew.
eral gentlemen who would subscribe, one
$4,000, and several others smaller sums and
no effort has yet been made. 1t really ~
pears to Us that there never was such a
pretty prospect of raising the required
amount for building Rail Road any where
than this; all that is needed is for men to
use some exertion, to put their shoulders to
the wheel and keep pushing. We hope to
see large "sse' blage on sales day.

The Pid Mic at Lands Ford.

On Saturday last, in company with sever
al friends, we left the noise and hustle
of "city" life, and bctook ourself to the above
place.
The idea struck us, what is our object in
going TO this Pic Mic to leave quiet home
and endure the heat, riding eight or nine
miles to attend pic mic.
We will be candid with you, reader, and
give you our reasons, for we were actuated
by several. In the first place, we wished
to sec that section Of our adopted District
secondly, we thought it would do no harm
for the Ledger to become more generally
known; and thirdly, the novelty of dining
under shade trees in the forest, was some in
ducement Were these expections realized 2
First, as regards the appearance of the coun.
try
The wild, romantic appearance struck us
very sensibly. The Catawba River Is very
wide here, and the huge rocks, partly expo
sed with the water swiftly flowing by, really
does possess attraction. We are told there
is fall Of twenty feet at this place, and we
observed, with pleasure two merchant Mills
in progress Of erection, one belonging to Mr.
Foster, the other to Mr.. Cureton.
The Pic Mic, or dinner, was COTTON up In
good Stylc, and there was the greatest abun.
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1852-07-28

dance of eatables II has never been our
fortune to attend pic mic where every thing
was so well conducted. There was no run
ming away from the table with chicken
bone and biscuit as we have observed on
similar occasons. Every one appeared COM
Portable, and every man wished to see his
neighbor enjoying himself We were a
stranger in those parts" and take this OPP
portunity Of rendering our thanks to the resi-
dents of Il at section for the kind attention
extended to us.
Catfish Soup.--It appers to be stand
ing rule" to have pic mic at Lands Ford on
the 23d, of every July, and on these occasions
it is matter of the greatest importance that
there should be Cat fish Soup. The fish are
easily procured, and we noticed some very
large ones which were caught on Saturday.
A large gu; nifty of soup is made, (and very
good soup it iS) and every one who does not
partake of it is looked upon suspiciously as
deficient in the upper story. AT first we re-
fused to try the soup, and after dinner our
soup. Ofcourse we replied we had not parta-
ken of any. " Eat no soup" said our friend
in the greatest amazcmcnt. He hastily OBJ
tained cup, and going to the pot dipped it
up full. Here" said he, "try it and you
will pronounce it to be the best soup you
ever drank" As little child trcmblingly
takes the spoon of castor oil from maternal
hands, 20 did we take the cup of soup, but
observing DIR. Galluchat partaking freely of
his, by the persuasion Of Mr.W. to try it, we
slipped ours, and wcr" agrccably surprised to
find it most excellent soup.
We cannot forLcar mentioning one circum-
stance about the soup. While we were at
the table enjoying other luxuries before try
ing it, we observed one of our villagers par
taking of the soup very freely. After din
ncr we observed him 1T another pan full, hav-
ing empticd the first. Sometime after we
walked by the table and he was at another
pan full Surely, thought we, this man will
kill himself he surely has never heard of
Catfish before. After having been absent
n quarter of an hour smoking scgar proba-
bly,, we again approached the table for some
purpose, perhaps To look for our companion
and there IVES our soup man ut another new
pan full How much more he consumed
we know not. We must certainly mark the
Major down as Gen Scott man.
The candidates, with few exceptions, were
all present, and every free born citizen had
to undergo the operation of having his hand
squeezed.
Il will be observed by advertisement, that
pic mic will be given near Bethel Church
on the 18th of August, to which the people
are invited
The Ledger will cndcavour to be there.

The Weather and Crops.

The weather for some time previous to
last week had been quite dry, and we were
beginning to suffer good deal with the
drought, but during the past week havu
had abundance of rain, and in consequence
vegetation Of all kinds have sprung almost
into new life. The prospects of the corn
and cotton crop ofthis District are said,
generally, to be excellent.
We cannot yet predict, with certainty,
as to what will be the result Of the cotton
crop, but we consider the corn as made
and that there will be an abundant crop
of it, throughout this and the greater por-
ton Of Chester District.
In the upper part of Chester and some
portions Of York District: on the Charlotte
Road, wehave been informed that the corn
crops have suffered quite seriously for
want of rain, and that in consequence
they will not be so good Winnsboro

Another Southern Rights Movement

From the following proceedings it would
appear that our Southern Rights friends
in this district are likely to have trouble
in division of the party. The signatures
to the meeting are Of men who have stood
high in the ranks, and seem determined
to run opposition to the Southern Rights
ticket appointed in March last. But here

EE- 1t is amusing to see what means

~r 1t is amusing to see what means
are resorted to by the Political Party
Press. to prejudice the minds of their read
ers against the rival candidate for the
Presidency, and what efforts used to place
the 'favorite" in the best light possible.
The following we take from the Raleigh
IN. g. Times, Wing paper in favor of
Scott and Graham.
Give the Devil his due"-thc Times
is right, Cor we have observed biographi-
cal sketches Of Gen. Pierce in some of the
Democratic papers, taken from this book
by Hermitage, but we have never seen
the following:
LIFE OF FRANK PIERcE.-We have
been favored with copy of a book bear
ing the above title, by Hermitage which
we suppose is the authorized exposition
which the Democrats endorse and circu
late to obtain votes. 1t is quite a rich
production-a remarkable book and
contains not only the Life of Pierce, but
the lives and exploits of his father, broth
ers, brothcr-in-law, and many other rela-
tions. His father was wonderful man :;
kitchen cabinet man; and the grave
history, in addition to his other lofty attri-
butes, gives the following account of his
learning, which we have not seen copied
into any Of the Democratic prints of the
State, and which we therefore present as
".fresh and 6ne." We quote from the
tenth thousand of the Book, chap. II, p,
l5:-
"Old Gen. Pierce was no scholar. He
had devoted all his life to deeds and not
to books; and it is said that while he was
sitting 10y the kitchen fire one night writ
ing his annual message to the Legislature,
he came to full stop on one word he
could not possibly spell. After rallying
all his own literary forces, and vancouver
ing them rs skillfully as he could, he was
obliged to draw off and seek for quarters.
Frank" said he to his son sitting near
by, how the 'lcvil do you spell but ?"
Frank had been through college, and he
very soon hclpe1 the General out of his
dilemma. "B-u-t," said Frank. "Be
hanged to these little words" replied the
veteran; they bother me dreadfuly
but when come to constitution can spell
that without even looking into a book"

State and National Law School, in Ball.
ston Spa, one object OF which is to train
young men in the art Of extemporaneous
speaking, he said, when commenting OH
the advantages Ofthe institution" II owe
my success in life to one single fact, viz;
that at the age Of II commenced, and
continued for Years, the process of daily
reading and speaking up n the contents
Of fsome historical or scientific book. These
off-hsnd efforts were made sometimes in
corn-field, at Others in the forest, and not
unfrequently in some distant barn, with
the horse and the OK for my auditors. 1t
is to this early practice of the great art of
all arts that am indebted for the primary
and leading impulses that stimulated me
forward, and have shaped and moulded
my entire subsequent destiny. Improve,
then, young gentlemen, the superior ad-
vantages you here enjoy. Let not n day
pass without exercising your powers Of
speech. There is no power like that of
oratory. Cessr controlled men lry exciting
their fears; Cicero bv capt waiting their
affections and swaying their passions. The
influence Of the one perished with its au-
thor; that oftlIe other continues TO this day
