THE FRUIT COMMITTEE.

We must return thanks to our friend Samuel G.
Brown, Esq, for several Of the finest apples we
have ever put hands on. They arc very large and
richly favored and we are told, belong to a sort
of cross breed, $W gencris, Sam Brown variety
If mother Eve dealt in sueh-like pippins, we cam
not be surprised at the frailty of humanity. Let
pretty woman shake such an argument at us,
and 'r" ''fall" too-iust like 4 dam.
Speaking Of apples, we have n mind to consti-
tute ourselves n Fruit Committee, after the man.
ncr of that funny Agricultural Fruit concern in
Columbia, and receive and test the quality and de-
eide the merits of all the apple-orchards in the
District Our friends in the country will please
consider us "appointcd and organized" anl act
accordingly. Send in your specimens! In re-
turn, we will take pleasure in informing the world
who, of our farmers, understands best the all
important science Of good living. Send along the
specimens.

THE MILITARY SCHOOL.

We learn with pleasure that the Barracks Of the
Kings Mountain Military School are well-nigh
flashed. The Professors and Cadets have taken
formal possession, and have entered fully upon the
rigid system Of discipline and study, which, albeit
under many uniavorable conditions, has already
Won for the school deser cdy high reputation
throughout the State. Thebuiiding presents quite
handsome and imposing appearance. The 10,
cation is in every respect the happicst that could
have been selected; and the entire establishment
has been panncdand arrangedin admirable adap-
tion to the purposes designed
The School now numbers about ninety Cadets,
and scarcely yet on the threshold, enters upon its

RARE SPECIMENS.

Our friend ScHoRB, who takes imbrotypes now
and then by way of filling up leisure hour, gave
us leave the other day, to criticize several spcci-
mems of his art. Two Of these are decidedly the
finest pictures we have ever scen-well-nigh per-
feet in every particular, with every feature accu-
curatey taken, and in prominent relief The
the charming subjects gave the operator an extra

this in mind, We must say that any one who can
produce such capital pictures has something Of
the genuine artist about him. If they have not
been taken away land if some one has stolen them.

FATAL DUEL.

A telegraghic dispatch to the Columbia papers
contains the announcement of duel near Charles
ton Monday afternoon last, between ". r. TAEER,
Esq, editor Of the Mercury, and EDWARD &. Ma
GgATn, Esq, in which the former was killed at
the third fire. No particulars have reached u.s.
but we have no doubt the affair resulted from the
excitement in regard to ;hc Congressional cleo
ton. Several articles lave appeared in the MercY
from the pen of Mr. TAnER, rejecting in no meas
ured terms upon the past career Ofhis antagonists
brother, Judge MAcRATH, who is one Of the prom
inent candidates for Congress
This truly sad announcement will send thrill
of horror over the State, and will be received most
painfully by those who best knew Mr. TABER's
qualities. Although young in life he had ac-
quircd brilliant and briliantly-rising reputa
tation. Unsurpassed ms accomplished and eff
frctivc writer; unequalled in the grace, attrac-
tiveness aud polished style of his oratory; gifted
with presence and manner which bespoke and
Won for him the title of the gentleman, he was
man of those kindly, generous, chivalrous and
earnest impulses which illustrate, in their best
manifestations, the character of the home born
South Carolinian. We shall not soon cease to re-
cret the melancholy event which robbed the press
and the people of one ofits best members-one of
its most valuable and valued ornaments.
May he sleep well.

We learn from reliable authority that Roses
Hotel has been leased by Col. L. p. SADLER, who
designs to take possession next week. and cStab-
ish himself permantly as one ofthe constitutions

There is nothing within reach which our town
needs more than two good, well-appointed and
well-conductcl Hotels and we are glad to be ena-
hed to congratulate ourselves upon the attain
mcnt of such n valuable dcsiJrr0ium. Both hou-
scs will soon be under way, and both, rejoicing
under the auspices Of proprietors who come fully
up to the impersonation of the Jolly landlord"
will vie each with the other in that honorable COM
petition which not only asks butdeserves success.
We shall soon be ready to boast of our hotel
institutions they are both bound to be little be-
yond the very highest water-mark this side Of the
aluvial deposites. Yorkville is in order now, like
the nice new parlor of wcdling-couplc. Make

Churches and Railroads and Newspapers beyond

THE STRUGGLE,

As the day of election comes on apace, the ex'
citement in the political world grows in intensity;
and rumors and eounter-rumors, all exaggerated
and many Of them utterly ridiculous, make up the
current budget Of news. We have been informed
among other things, by telegraph and paragraph
that the enthusiasm occasioned by the pronuncia,
mento of the old Wing party lms fatally infected
the people Of New York and Maryland, making
both of these States safe for Fillmore. We ex-
pected as much. The Democrats, it is stated,
have Withdrawn their forces from New York, and
concentrated every energy upon Pennsylvania and
New Jersey Fremont is fighting both parties
every where and with no mS>>n chances of success.
The probability grows stronger that the election
will 20 into the House. We shall see.

ALL RIGHT /!

The Editor and Propretors of the Busy Bee"
have sent the following queer paragraph to the
Charleston Evening .Nems. All right now:-
"Gcniemsn Having just seen in the Columbia
Carolinian the following statement from MIR. Cald-
well, the President of the South Carolina Rail-
road, viz: "that there were no grounds at all for
the charge of the salep Southern papers being
prevented on the rcad,,' we take the earliest op-
portunity of requesting that all the journals that
copied the article in the Busy Bee, signed "A
Traveller" will notice this statement i'll the Caro-
linian, and also that of Mr.. Peake in the same
paper We arc very glad to find that there is a
'mistake," as Mr.. Peake the Superintendent says.
But the mistake was not ours, for our Agent wds
prevented by the officials Mt the dcpots from sell
ling our paper there, and moreover expressly told
that none of the Charleston Editors were allowed
to offer their papers there on the cars for SALE
AS however the President positively denies this,
in the article in the Caroinian alluded to, the
mistake must have orig ginated with these officials
at the depots We therefore request these jour
nails to state that our paper is not excluded, and
that any or all of the papers in the State can be
offered for sale by their proprietors in the depots
or on the cars"

none but the lowest class and scrapings of the

and the only speech that have made. ont Of

that Kansas would b. slavchold!ng State that
I was anxious to see Southern men cmigrating
there. with their families and Slaves, men who
would cut down the forests AMI p,Ow up the

Territory permanently settled by the volunteers
who had gore there they were mostly young men.
without families. and unaccustomed to labor, and
thai they were not the men TO endure the fatigue

they would be returning home.

ability of the Gcaelal government to maintain
the peace of the Territory, and enforce its laws,
without the aid Of men or money from South
Carolina that already, all armed bands of VOL
untccrs had been ordered to disband or leave the
Territory The last accounts were that Gen.
Jones company had returned to the Missouri line,
where they directed their letters to be sent, and
that they were writing home for more money.
