Bolles, requesting us to publish the proceed
ings of The Bible Society held at Sumteryile
some time last month. This we would most
cheerfully do, but after u diligent search, We
are unable to find either of the Sumter pa

recoIlect seeing the proceedings Of the socie-

fact, that such liberal donations were made
towards disseminating that book, the word

Death of an Editor.

death Of F. w. SYMAs, jr. assistant editor
of the Keowee Courier, which sad event oc
Cured at the residence of his father, in Pen
dleton, on Monday before last. Mr. SYMEs,
it is said, was very promising young man.
Our friend THoMrsoS, Of the Courier. is
peculiarly unfortunate. In the short space
Of year, he has lost two associates. First,
Mr.. Ross and now Mr.. SYMEs. How ap-
plicable, in this case, is that sentence of

| every where, but a man on his own farm, is
to himself what he says, or what he does is
known only to himself and those immedi-
ately around him. 1T wus sane moment of
Cowper's, when he wrote in his Task,
God made the country and man made the
town:
What wonder then, that health and virtue,
gifts
That can alone make sweet the bitter
draught
That life holds out TO all, should most a.
bound
And least be threatened in the fields and
groves"
In the lower part of the district it has
been alarmingly dry until lsst Thursday
night when they had a most welcome rain.
1t has also since rained there. The rains
Of the past week we expect have been gen.
eral throughout the district. The crops
look very well, in fact better than could be
expected from such continuous drought
These late rains will bring them out Won
derfully. As ne of by gone days used to
say. you can almost hear the corn growing.
Had the rains have come sooner, the benefit
to the wheat crop would have been greater,
but even now, much good will result to the
maturing of the grain.
In our exchanges We find they have had
rain in almost all the other districts, and the
wheat crop is represented as being very
good. We are glad of it, heartily glad Of
it, for We have never known -four so scarce,
before it cannot be procured here for love
or money. A load of -four could very soon
be sold out in Lancaster at this time; yes,
half dozen loads.

succeeded in making an editorial. and if our
readers are dissatisfied, we enjoy the salts

Meeting of the National Division,
Sons of Temperance.

The 9th of June, will be the beginning OF
an occasion Of much interest, in Charleston,
viz: the meeting of the National Division.
We understand that most extensive arrange
ments are being made, for the reception OF
members and delegates. The Standard says,
that it is expected every State in the Union
will be represented, and also, New Bruins
wick; ireland and Scotland. From n CON-
munication in the Columbia Times, from
Judge O'NEALL, We learn that the following
distinguished advocates Of Temperance, il is
expected, will be present, viz: Till y Of n.
Brunswick Dow, of Maine Brown, of In
diana; Jacokes, Of Michigan; Carey of Ohio;
Burkly Of Kentucky; Brownlow, of Tennes-
see; White of Philadelphia; Ryerson Of Can
ada West; Richardson, of New York: Minor
Of Virginia Leland, of Iowa; SueincsS Of
Rhode Island; Rex, of New Jersey; and
Wolfe, Of the Cherokee Nation.
From the Camden Journal, we learn, that
in order to carry out the arrangements con-
tempated by the committee, it is very ne
cessary that the friends Of the cause. in the
country, should assist those in Charleston.
1t is certainly, unfair, to impose the whole
expense on the committee, in Charleston
Our friends in the country, should assist
them, they need money very much. For the
honor of the metropolis of our State, the
members of the National Division should
meet with that hospitnble reception for
which Charleston has always been proven
bal. B. c. PREssLY, Esq, is Chairman Of
the Committee Of Arrangements; any remit
tance directed to him, will be promptly nc
kpoHledged.

THE LANCASTER LEDGER,

Let them not however despoEd too soon.
Th' re is yet time for cotton to germinate,
shoot up with quickened luxuriance and re-
spond with grateful crops to the toll and
skill of the planter. A month hence there
will still be time to plant corn with the as
surance of an abundant harvest, under the
fructitying influences of our usual summer
rains. In the possible exigencies of the
season. it is important that every man should
bear in mind, the fact to which we have ad-
rerted, the present scanity and high price
of grain and the probability of an augmented
demand. II therefore the obstruction to a
stand of cotton should be protracted much
later, let every acre which mas failed in cot
ton. be planted in corn, aud let us at least be-
saved from famine.

HONOR JUDGE GrLcHRIsT PREslpING.-The
case Of the United States against T. J. EccIes
lately charged before the District Court with
breaking letters aud taking money therefrom
was brought toa premature conclusion on
Thursday last. 1t appeared that Mr.. Eccles
had been mail agent for the Post Office De-
partme mt upon the line Of road from Colnm-
bia to Charlotte, and that moneys had been
miscarried, under circumstances which made
him the subject Of suspicion. indictments
were presented TO Grand Jury, but charging
that the acts were done fcloniously, without
stating, also, that they were done unlawful
ly. They were decided to be insufficient by
the Court, and were quashcd. His Honor
held that felonies are cognizable only in
State Courts, and to make this offence cog
nizahlc in the courts Of the United States, il
is necessary to charge that it WAS done un.
lawfully, those courts having power only to
try such cases as are defined by law, under
which the jurisdiction has been specially
conferred.

We have been blessed with fine rain in

On Thursday night the rain commenced
falling bet cen 0 and 10 O'CLOCK, and did
not cease until daylight Yesterday morning.

believe 1t was, was worth millions. At our
