A GLANCE AT OUR EXCHANGES.
WE have small bundle of our Exchanges before
US and propose to take them up by one, just as
they come to hand and glance at their sayings and
doings.
First comes the Charleston Evening Ne,ps." j
continues to be crowded with Know Nothing matter
of every variety. And yet its able conductors manage
to find room for great deal else Of much more in
teresting stripe The Ne1os," besides being asKnow
Nothing paper, is decidedly what its name purpors,
and keeps up with the times clevery the tastes,
of them all. In the present number for instance, We
have articles upon Neutral Rights" " For,ifca.
tions, !" -" The Epidemic at Norfolk" "The murder
of Captain EAYERs," &C., not to mention that por-
ton of the sheet which is peculiarly devoted TO the
interests of SAM" One of the proprietors Of this
sheet, Mr. w. Y PAXTON, offers his half interest for
SALE The cause, we regret to say, is his increasing
bad health. The "Ne,Ds" is reputed 10 have large
City and very fair country circulation. Here is an
opportunity for profitable investment 10 any enc de-.
sirous of launching his fortunes upon the bounding
waves Of newspaper warfare.
Next we find the Due West Telescope" which
may perhaps be denominated the Presbyterian organ
of South Carolina. The number for September the
7th is filled with its usual variety Of semrelig gious,
semi.temporal articles The Editor being absent this
week, his chair is filled by H. (HEMPHrLL,) one of
the Correspondent Editors. The style of H. is that Of
an editor; and when Mr.. Bonner declines, We hope
to see H. Immediately installed in his place. Here is
q specimen of his pop.guns:
~. NJ. THOMSON, ESQ.,, formerly Of Anderaon and
graduate OF Erskine, is Staying the Know NothIngs
it said, by his eo9uence in Mississippi Hit them
hard, and give the Jesuits bricks ."-H.
His guns of heavier calbre are considerably more
elevated in their bearing, and show him capable OF
thing or two in this department we'll ms in that
He advocates Anderson C. H., in the present number
of the Telescope" pre.eminenty suitable place
for Presbyterian Female College.
The next co,em. We lay hands upon is the " Indc.
pendent Press" by which We learn that they have
lately had at Abbeville Court House grand Circus
and Menagerie. 1t seems to be fact talthoush it
certainly approrimates one of the wondera that
The Agent of this establishment didn't see proper to
stick up a single shoto bU!" tShade OF Or.
JONES! think Of tl,at) But he did what was better,
saws the Press" He advertised in the Abbeville
papers; and the consequences was, that thousands
came and some 81 500 dollars taken off by the
sbowmen. Note this fact, ye who doubt the efficacy
of newspaper advertising.
The Chester Standard' turns up fourth. Among
other things, the F." Standard" has a Long.Tom Of an
Editorial upon the I" Southern Patriot and Dsunion,"
in which there is great deal Of good sense and an
admirable showing.up of the political signs oil the
times. We are told also that Madame FEUaAs has
opened dancing school at Chester c. H.--,hat Mr..
MACON has presented the Editor with three punches
of grain, each from single seed, whose total yield
was 1858 grains-ta. several revivus had taken place
in that District, and that pic.ncs just now are as
plenty as backberres over there Great country that!
Til. "Yorkville Enquirer" is still harping upon the
Kings Mountain Celebration, We hope to good pur.
pose It informs us moreover that Mr.. w. GILMORE
SIHMs is 10 give the citizens of Yorkvlle Of
his very entertaining lectures at an early day-We
regret to perceive that The Enquirer" and the
Citizen" are at such bitter !eud but hope it will
oil soon end in pence.
The "Carona Spartan" Of last week comes out in
an article upon the Democratic Pariy, in which he
seems to indicate disposition 10 chime in with the
Orr Democrats o: the upcountry. The Spartan
also talks Of Large Beet just son, in bya Mr. IuR
nER measuring % inches in circumference and weigh
ing pounds, precisely inches and pound smaller
than our Armstrong Beet Of July last.
we ne1t unlOlO SndTicslUH INefCTyb teoihh6
az usual with we'll turned Editorials and judicious
selections. In the present number indignant ausion
j, had 10 rumour recently started in the up.country
TO the effect that Yellow Fever was prevailing in
Charleston The "Mercury" in The most positive
manner that there is not amongst them The slightest
indication of any tendency to this disease in any part
Of the city.
We are glad to see the " "Greenvs Mountaineer"
out in bran now lead.dress, of stylish appearance
The l369th number of this rather venerable sheet il
by no means the least interesting We have seen.
There is an appearance Of neatness and freshness
about it-a pleasant smile its old face, il we may
30 speak-which reminds that certain new and un.
wonted rays happiness have recently beamed across
The Editors sanctum There is deal Of wholesome
advice In tlst short paragraph headed Tic South
