An Agricultural Journal.

1t is with pleasure that we see the Executive
Committee, in their circular, recommend the
establishment of n journal for tine purpose of
making known the results not only of the
operations Of The State Society but of the local
and district societies. The reports of many of
the local societies, on all subjects pertaining to
Agricultural practice, have been extremely
valuable, and should be generally disseminated
The Ne" berry, Fishing Creek, Pendleton and
other societies for instance, have a valuable
iund of material locked up in manuscripts, or
the columns of local papers, which does not
reach the great mass Of readers. If the proposed
journal is published, great deal of this mater
can be redeemed from the neglect in which it
now lies aud made practically available for the
people.
All that was said or Agriculture and the
kindred pursuits could be presented to the
people, and information, cheap and reliable
would find its way TO every homestead in the
State. he Society it self, will undoubtedly dis
seminatea great fund of agricultural information
and practical writers could be enlisted who would
regularly contribute to its pages. journal
properly edited, and managed by the Exeeu-
tive Committee, would become source Of
handsome revenue to the Society and be the
means Of securing regular and certain income.
From its position, it would command the
patronage Of all the Societies in the State, and
would not be like private enter prise, strug-
Cling for its existence Here in Columbia
the centre ofthe Sate-a journal Of the kind
would command more patronage than at any
other poInt, and we hope the Executive Com
mittee will take such steps as to nuke its es-
tablishment in 1856 fixed fact.

The price of sugar has lately advanced con-

note, was much excited on Friday last, and a
further advance took place, owing to the reports

Of sugar for preserving increase, however,

A Painfully Exciting Scene.

| GREENSBORO, IN C.) September T. A scene
ofthe most painful and intense excitement
| occurred in this town on Monday morning. AT
the Railroad Station here, in digging the well,
those engaged in the work have encountered
rock that can only be penetrated BY drilling and
blasting.
On Monday morning, soon after very heavy
blast of powder in the bottom Of the well,
which is some forty feet deep, and aud before
the smoke had sufficiently cleared out of the
shaft, John Walton jumped into the bucket aud
| started down; but Oh or before reaching the
bottom. finding the SUI phurc smell too strong
for him, called to those above to draw him up.
On arriving perhaps half way to the top he
became too helpless to hold himsclfi in the buck.
ct, and fell to the bottom Of the WELL As
quick rs possible, Norman Arnold descended
into the we'll to save Walton but he, too, was
Immediately stupifed a,hi helpless. Then, in
Quick succession, followed David Armfeld,
who shared the same fate.
And now the oxcitem ent was becoming in
tence and painful in the extreme. Here were
three men, in the bottom of forty-foot pit
and it filled to sIfocation with smoke; the
men groanng and painting for breath; the water
rapidly ris ng upon them, and they insensible
and unable to raise their heads. 1t looked like
instant death to those on the grond 10 venture
down the alarm was given, and many citizens
OF the town rushed to the spot but What could
they do Who was to be the fourth man to
make the fearful leap, and risk his own life in
all effort to save those Of the three victims! q
step that required more courage than to fight a
lozen duels.
James S. Morrison, one of the Engineers on
the North Carolina Railroad, now arrived
jumped into the bus ket, and was let down as
las, as possible; John w. DeLancic, Of this
county, made leap, caught the rope to which
the buckets are attached, and descended the
rope almost with lighthrg's speed.
Mr. Morrison, when drawn up in the bucket,
with Mr. DeLancie and the apparently dead
man, was too much exhausted to return; but
Mr.. DeLancie made several trips, each time
descending the rope as quick as thought. 1t
requiring two men to place aud hold in the
bucket, the suffocated men, David Sullivan
accompanied Mr.. DeLance in his second de-
scent, and John Lcthco went down and assis-
ted in bringing up the third man.
The three unfortunate men who were thus
saved from an untilnely death, were restored to
consciousness during the day. Messrs. Arnold
and Armfeld appeared but little bruised. Mr.
Walton received severe cut on the head,
which, at first, it was feared had fractured his
skull, but an examination proved otherwise; he
also in his fall, received other though not dan
gerous bruises. And We are happy to learn
that these gentlemen are all likely to recover
from the injuries received.
Too much pras cannot be bestowed on Messrs.
Morrison, DeLancie, Sulvant and Lelhco, for
their courageous and humane conduct on the
occasion.-Patriot.

DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN LADy.-It is our
painful duty to record the death Of Mrs. Louisa
A. Williams, wife of our esteemed friend and
brother, George w. Williams, Esq, of this city.
Mr.. Williams has been residing this summer on
Sullivan's Island, and it was there that this sad
event took place, Oh the alst of August. Mrs.
Williams was the youngest daughter of Mr..
William Wightman and bis departed wife of
precious memory-and she was daughter
worthy Of such mother. Her sickness was long
and painful, at intervals affecting the brain, but
never ooscurng her view of heaven. She looked
to the grave from the first, and hasted to the
coming OF the Lord Jesus She leaves name
" better than precious ointment" and a place
vacant in our religious circle not easily 6lled-in
the family the void must ever remain. She has
gone in triumph, at the early age Of thirty three,
to join three happy little ones, transplantcd last
year to the garden Of the Lord The bright
side of the cloud Of Gods providence illumines
her way; but, oh how dark its shadows fall on
those who tarry below Christian Aduocat',

DR.. THoRNwELL.--It is announced that DR..
Thornwell is preparing some articles for the
press on the Catholic question. There will be
great propriety in his doing so. Such articles
from him would be now published and gene.
rally read and would do great good. Strange
to say, some Of the papers hope he will not.
In other words, hope that great write: on a
great question will bury his talents lest some
politician should suffer damage by the truth.
We have no idea that DR.. Thornwel will
enter into a political scramble He can have no
pur po of that sort. But ifhe sees an oppor
tunity Of dealing blow upon the head Of Anti.
Christ, las all protestant christians believe the
Papacy to be) he would be more than justf-
able in doing so. His motives could not be
called in question. He has recently receded
from even the quasi political station Of Prcsi-
dent of the South Carolina College, and is
about devoting himself exclusively to religious
teaching. Should his friends desire him to
confne his instruction to a dozen or twenty
young men in tn. Seminary at Columbia {!
Should he not rather give the benefit Of his
learning to the whole public Do the same
oljectors deprecate the publication of Roman
Catholic defences by Bishop Hughes, and Ste.
phens. and all other friends of that ancient or
der. Why should they deprecate light from a
prostestant minister. We will suggest to those
gentlemen who are uneasy about Dr. Thorn
wells rumored exposure Of Romanism, that
they will have the liberty of answering him.
None will obejct to their doing so. We would
