Chester Standard.

Our friend of the Standard is scrupu-
lously nice. We are not to know from
some half dozen reports of an assassna-
ton chow do you like thatO whether
malice was premedtated or not. To say
a homicide was committed, and taking
one report, which goes to show that the
assassin acted in self defence, at once ex-
honorates him from intentional murder.
To say murder was committed, al
though as acting on the defensive, places
the matter in an unprejudiced sense.
What say YOU Mickle, does it not lool,
reasonable' These trivial points, in our
opinion, are less to be regarded than a
proper application Of the rules of Syn
tax.

Masonic Celebration,

According to advertisement, JACKSON
LODGE, Ancient Order of Free Masons,
celebrated the Anniversary Of St. John
on Saturday last. They formed pro-
cesscn near their Hall, and escorted 10y
an amateur band, proceeded to the Court
House, where addresses were delivered
10y the worshipful Master GEORGE Nc.
WIruERspooN, Esq, and by Drs. WYLIE
and MoBLEY. The speakers acquitted
themselves very well, and appeared to
give entire satisfaction, if the marked at
tention paid by the large audience be an
evidence. After the addresses the men,
bers of the order, accompanied by their
invited guests, repaired to the new house
Of Mr., Brown, where a most sumptuous
repast awaited them. An observation of
the large, well filled tables which were
perfectly crowded with every species Of
food, did not put us much IN mind Of a
famine. Every thing passed off very well;
in fact, so numerous an attendance Of
persons, with so little confusion, is alike
creditable to the order and to our citi-
zens.
We were not aware that this Lodge
numbered so many members. There
must have been no less then fifty in the
procession, and with their handsome and
attractive regalia, presented dazzlingy
pleasing appearance. Long may the Ma
sons flourish, and long may Jackson Lodge
be composed Of such men as Witherspoon,
Wylie, Mobley, and others.

Readers, and instruction books for the
study of Phonetic Shorthand, we observe
the New Testament Biographies Of the
Presidents of the United States, and their

The merit Of this system consists in hav,
ing distinct letter for each sound in the
language, and in always representing each
sound by the same letter.
All that is necessary in learning to read,
therefore, is to learn the characters, and a
pupil is as sure to pronounce word cor
rectly, belonging TO any other language
as he is the most common household
word.
The price Of the Type is $2 90, and
such is the arrangement Of the publishers
for the present year, that every person
subscribing for the paper, will receive in
addition, u premium in books, ranging
from so cents to So 90, according to the
number OF copies sent to his Office, so tha,

their paper one, two and three dollars
worth of books.
Specimen copies will be sent gratis or

New Paner.

We have received new paper from
Milton, N. c., called the Southern Flag.
We are glad to find our friend 10 in busi-

We like the politics of the Flag so far,

BUSINESS NOTICES.

Particular attention is directed to the
advertisement Of the Preparatory Military
Academy, at Yorkville, which will be
found in another column. Messrs. Cow
ard & jenkins are graduates Of the State
Military Academy, and are said to be ef-
ficiently calculated for the duties in which
they are engaged. We copy from an ex
change the following:
"There is one difficulty in the way OF
young man entering the Military Acad-
emy. The regulations require that at the
end OF three months, all cadets who are
not capable Of continuing their course,
shall be discharged. As it often happens
that many young men Of talent are dis.
charged, solely because they entered un-
prepared, (for person can enter provided
he can read and write correctly) A pri-
vate Military School which has been es
tablished at Yorkvlle The present year, by
two graduates Of the Citadel, will no doubt
tend to obvia:e this difficulty. The school
at forkville was established by Messrs.
Coward & jenkins, graduates with the
highest honors, for the purpose of prepar.
ing Young men for the Arsenal, and the
third class at the Citadel. 1t too, was es.
tablishcd under favorable auspices; but the
chivalric spirit Of Carolinians, and the tai
ents Of its proprietors, will no doubt sus-
tain it. At present it contains nearly fif-
ty students-quiie good beginning for
so short a period. We indulge in the ar
dent hope that it may prosper as Others
have done and be as useful"
Attention is directed to the advertise
ment Of Mr.. J. b. MobIey. Our friends
in that neighborhood would do we'll 10
examine his stock.

toner, and who boldly refused to act, has
positively declared that there was no sym
tom among the crowd Of any such design
as justified resort to violence on the part
Of the authorities. Aud in truth, whom
we think Of it, every man must see that
the burning Of City Hall is by no means
an act which crowd would be likely to
commit without some extraordinary and
intolerable leprovocation. To bring the case

cry b'hoys be ready to fight, if need were,
in defence OF a building iuserarably con-
nected in his mind with the grandeur and
growth of his native cityi Neal Dow's
assumption, to say the least Of it, is not
based on anything like 3 probability.
Again, what is the abstract moral view
Of the liquor question Neal Dow and
his party say that liquor is pernicious
substance, poison, &c, which ought to

Of the country where the laws are admin
istered with laxity, they stimulate women
children and fanatics to attack liquor
stores, and more than once we have had
to record an account Of similar outrage
arPlauded by the teetotal organs. Yet
here, at Portland, it seems that when the
crowd wanted to destroy the liquor be
longing to the city grogshop, Neal Dow
called out his soldiers and shot them
down. There is some strange inconsistent
cy here. Either liquor is good thing,
and in that case the destroyers Oft in the
West should be tried and punished, and
the prohibtory people stopped off; or it is
bad thing, and, if so, why did Neal
Dow shoot people to prevent their des,

At all events, whatever excuses Mr.,
Dow may make, and whatever argyll
ments may be adduced in the controver,
sy, one thing is quite certain, this teetota
system, which is of doubtless constitution
ality and clear infringement on the rights
Of mankind, leads directly to riot, blood
shed and disorder. A course Of legisla
ton which creates such hostility among
an intelligent people, must have some
weak points in its character; aud these
with their consequences, are quite sufiici
ent to show that all rrehil'itory Legislation
is wrong in principle, and is not adapted
to any portion OF the people.

AND A UNIVERSAL REMEDY FOR DISEASE.

This city is now the home Of one Of the
most remarkable men Of the age--a man
who has traversed the civilized glohe, and
established in almost every country which
he has visited, the sale Of his medicines for
the relief Of human suffering, and which
are certain cure for disc ,se in all its
forms We allude to PRoFEssoR THOMAS
HOLLOWAY, Of London. II is now several
years since this benefactor Of the human
race first proclaimed to the world, through
the British press, that he had, afte~ deep
research, prepared remedy that was
sure TO eradicate disease. Years Of pa-
tient Investigation into the laws Of human
physiology which control our bodies in
health and when diseased, led to the in.
vention and preparation Of the world re-

MINT. Nearly, If not quite one half of the
human race have taken his medicines /!
His name is as universally known over
the globe as that Of Alexander, Napoleon,
or Washington, when in the height Of
their ambitious career. IL they conquer.
ed nations on the field Of battle, Professor
Holloway has, with no weapon but that
Of science, conquered disease in all its
forms. HIS meritorious career is bound
ed by no imaginary line Of latitude and
longitude short Of those marking the con.
fines Of civilization ITSELF No isolated
country or nation was sufficiently exten
sive for the operation Of his enterprising
and gigantic intellect. Wherever disease
has residence, there lie has penetrated
with his medicines, and left an inevitable
and enduring reputation. Alter enIight
ming Europe, his fame spread over Asia
and the civilized portion Of Africa, and
finally Appeared in America. lie has
translated the cures he has performed
and the virtues Of his medicines into as
many languages as the missionaries have

wise the most despoiic, have been forced

their popularity with the people. to remove
antiquated and time honoreI restrictions
upon the introduction Of foreign medicines,
and open their customhouses to free intro

The Crons.

In this section the rains still favor us;
scarcely day passes bat we have show
er. From observation and diligent en-
quiry, we are extremely rcjoced to say,
the corn crop is doing remarkably well.
We are told that if the rains continue for
short time longer, a. most abundant t
crop will be made. Cotton does not do
so well. The recent cool spell has retard-
ed the growth very much. From this
cause, together with the extreme moisture
of the soil, scarcely an avarage crop will
be made. We are careful, in speaking
OF the prospects Of the crops, to give relia-
bic information, and therefore seek it from
those competent TO know.
