THE HIGH WAYS.

From what We have seen and heard, the roads of
our District are in worse condition from the effects
of the late rains than they have been for years. The
very best parts of them washed into gulies, while
some of the rougher portions nearly impossible.
If,hey are now merely patched up in q temporary
manner, the Equinox will como along after a while
with its continuous showers, and then Winter with
its beating rains, and the public high ways will be
disgrace 10 all concerned.2Bdt if they nre worked
upon propery-f our Road Commissioners shall see
that every oyer,eer call ou hands at once, ,nt he
keep them out the full time allowed by law tf neces'

as circumstances will allow, the result will be very
different We respectfully dropthe suggestion to those
es,imabe police officers Surely the business of keeping
our public roads good order ough, be- the pride
rather than the aversion oour people And he should be
the most esteemed Commissioner, who vigorously in
ssts upon thorough and efficient repairing Of the
roads under his charge. There never was time
when this rigor was more plainly demanded than at
present. Let it be duly exercised.

no doubt that proper preparations have been made
for pleasant exhibition of Tho musical advancement
Of Mrs. RAYMoNDs scholars. full programme, skill.
fully varied and tastefully arranged, is doubtless
made up for the occasion.
WHO'LL co! The citizens of the Red Bank neigh.
borhood on the Saluda side Of the District have agreed
upon picnic which is 10 come off the 9th Of next
month. Ample arrangements are making, by The va
rious gentlemen interested to entertain large compa-
n.y. The occasion is the annual examination Of the

the date is fixed upon yet. More anon.
Who'll GO! The Regimen al parades for Edge

pose the attendance will be almost universal.
To our general query Of :" who'll co." the obvious
answer is, every man, woman and child that call

THE OLD AFFECTION.

We have been frequently impressed with the deep
devotion to the land of their birth, usually manifested
by emigrants from South Carolina, even after resi-.
dence of years in the comparatively States of the
West An incident ortwo has called up the reflection
again.
The reader will find an obituary notice in our pre-
sent issue, stating that former citizen Of Edgefeld
having son born to him in the last hours Of his life,
had the infant brought his bed and with his dying
breath us it we're, called the child Thomas Edgefed
Butler"
Again, in glancing over the Lowndes County tAla)
paper the other day, saw an account of heated
political discussion held in that vicinity Mt place cal.
led I" Mt Willing" This our immediate readers we'll
know to be the designation Of considerable old
stamping ground in our District. We remembered at
once having heard that this Mt Willing was Eei'
tied and chris,ened thus some years ago by Capt.
JOHN BoNHAM, who once resided at the place Of that
name in Edgefeld.
So true is it, that neither time change nor chance
can ever efface that genuine fee ling Of attachment
Which the true heart bears towards tho scenes OF
its earlier joys. From the days of the old and nep
Salamis down. the sincerity Of this emigrant.afecIon
has been thousand times illustrated by such simple
but expressive incidents as The foregoing. We admire
the feeling, because it faithful to the better instincts
OF. our NATURE

AN 1rNrrsIr.1. SUMMER,

THE summer of 1855 promiseso rank in this latitude
among the coolest Of the present century. 1t is now
nearly the first of August, and for two months past
the thermometer has scarcely exceeded 80 degrees
Fahrenheit For much the larger portion Of the time
it ha, str cd at about s8 degrees. While for several
successive days the notch was yet lower Thus far
indeed, except for few days in the spring, We have
had no regular specimen Of what we call oppressive
weather. The temperature has been not unlike thai
of Flat Rock, possibly little cooler. A fig for the
mountains while we have such weather. The very
grass in our old fields gives evidence ofthe unaccustom
ed coolness Of the year; for whereas it is generally
parched and brown by this time, now 1t is as fresh
and green rs the verdure Of mountain dell. Even
the foliage Of our forest is Of darker cast than
usual and the oaks thick branches cast broader
browner shade" Could we have such seasons as o
common thing, how truly delightful itwould be! But
the present year is undeniably an exception Just
such another may happen to US in the next twenty
and it is this notable fac. which leads us here to place
the summer Of 1855 upon the record.

WAR AND BLooDsHED.

The middle Of the 18th Century is witnessing q
serle, Of the most tremendous human conflicts the
world has ever known. On no other spot of earth
has such mastering Of the legions Of Mars been
realsed at any time as is now taking place in and
around the walls sebasopo Terrible US are the bat
Ties which have already been fought hereabouis, they
are nothing what may yet bee1pected Now that the
Russian soldiery have gained the morale Of great
success, may well be anticipated that their future
displays of military prowess will grow more and more
brilliant as the war advances. While the Allies,
fired as they with the ambition Of standing forth
as great conquerors before the world will make al
most superhuman e1erons to crush the stronghold OF
their powerful enemy. The consequence must be
most wholesale slaughter of human life and an unra.
ralelled exhaustion Of human resources. Singnlarly
unprophec were the dreams Of those, who but lately
announced to mankind that the days We're past forever
when difficulties between nations were to be left to
the abrement Of the sword, and that the dawn of
universal and perpetual Peace had broken upon the
rnce of Adam. Their representations now rank
among the absurd,es OF the age.

much diligence, that in short time he was master
Of the prize.
yhe pleasure arising from thei little knowledge
he now possessed gave him desire to obtain yet
more. He therefore set himself tn the study Of
Latin. His perseverance was crowned with succes,
He became scholar, and not only gave to the world
several works of his own, but also by his spreccpts
and example inspired his Ipeople''wi,h taste for
literary knowledge. He invited learned men of all
nations to bis Court, rewarded them so literally,
and gavc such encouragement to those who cultivated
literature, that we may apply to him the most fiat
tering eulogium that can illustrate the memory of
monarch. He left his people more enlightened and
more civilized than he found them. LlRA.

EDUCATION.
. 10 The cnrcs nf EnH

Seeing ignorance is the curse Of God,
knowledge the wing wAereuith we fly TO Hearen.
SHAKEspEARE.
WHAT sculpture is to block Of marble, education
is to human soul. The philosopher, the saint, the
hero the wise, the good the great man very often
lie concealed in plebeian all which proper cduca
ton might have dsintcrcd and brought to light.
Education, though it clevates man above those
Of his fellow creatures who have not acquired it.
and procures him the admiration and esteem Of
those around him, is yet far more estimnblc in
another point Of view it renders him useful to
his country, ecvatrs her in the eyes Of foreign ma
tons, and contributes 70 the civilization Of the world
What brilliant examples do Europe and Amer-
ca offer! But We will take one from the compara-
lively dark ages, when learning was sought and
and cultivated by few, except those who were des-
tined for the religious professions.
Alfred, King of England, Tin STD by his wise
administration Of laws and his encouragement Of
learning, obtained the title Of the Great Before his
time literary education was 30 rare that few persons
knew how TO read, and Alfred, though hg father
had been bred to the Church, and he himself had
been twice to Rome,-though he had resided some
time at Paris where Charlcmagne had excited emu.
lation among his people, who were already dstin-
guishcd for their thirst after knowledge: yet the
oung Prince, Notwithstanding those advantages,
had arrived ut the age Of eleven without even know
ing how to read and perhaps would never have
obtained that ,nastcr-key to knowledge, had it not
been for his n,other-in-law, grand daughter Of
Charcmagne.
She was sitting one day, surrounded by her fami-
ly, with highly illuminated manuscript Of Anglo
Saxon poetry in her hands. The children admired
the ornaments, and Judith thought it good op.
portunity to excite them to emulation. She there.
fure proposed it as prize for him who should be
first able to read It. Alfred's brothers, who werc
older than he, treated the offer very lightly and did
not take the trouble to qualify themselves as candi
dates but Alfred himself was captiva,ed at once
by the hope Of gaining the prze and the prospect o.
| acquiring information. He took the manuscript

SCARCITY OF FRUIT.
