For the Edgefield Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me to write few lines in re-.
gard to very interesting school examination, which
came off at the Bethlehem Academy, in this District,
not long since. A school numbering some 80 or 80
pupils, matter of great importance, in the estia.
,on Of once who looks with anticipation TO the proper
improvement Of the rising generation. Such is the
young but houri,hing school Of which / now write;
and it il to be hoped that the system Of education will
rise so high, in the estimation Of the people, that its
progress will never stop until, there is good ,choo
built up n every neghborhood, free Of charge, so that
all classes and Of every grade shall be enabled 10 OBJ
tain good common education.
This school is under the watchful supervision Of Mr.
ZAcHAR1AH WRIGHT, teacher we'll qualified to dis.
charge the noble and honorable calling which he has
chosen.
The day of the examination was indeed very un.
pleasant--the dark and rainy looking clouds that
covered the azure sky, caused many a sad countsn-
ance, but, Notwithstanding the dampne's of the day,
large company of ladies and gentlemen were present
on the occasion.
About one O'Clock feast was spread and dinner
was announced and we never witnessed more sum.
touI affair in the annals of pc.nics. After their ap.
pees perfectly satisfied, they then reassembled
at The stand in order to hear their sons proclaim their
strains of eloquence, which vas done in an audible
manner nnd which was justly meritorious There

O. BIT U A r Y.

DIED, at Oakland, Elgeteld District, on the
Gath Sept, PIERCE WELLINGTON, youngest
son OF CAROLINE and Jons P. NlIcKLER, aged one
year, seven months and twelve days.
Dear little PIERCE! But lew days ago, when
your merry laugh and fond earesses gladdened our
heart, little did we think that it would become our
painful Duty SO soon, to pay yon this our last tri,
butte Of love- Thy death hath left an aching void
in once happy and unbroken family.
We deeply syn.pathize with tho bereaved parents
who have been called upcn to sustain this sudden
and severe visitation. But while they mourn The
loss of their lovely Child they have the consoling
assurance that they have only given him to One
who has sad "Suffer little children to come unto
ME and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom
Of heaven" A FRIEND.

DELINouEsr READERs AND FRIEsDs we adopt
this method of appealing to you to come forward
and settle your respective accounts in this Office as
soon as practicable Dire necessity forces us to
make this call. We have waited on. some Of you
long and patiently-longer in fact than justice 10
our creditors warranted US in doing. Indulgence
with those creditors has ceased to be virtue, and
they now threaten us with the strong arm OF the
law. Therefore, without further words, kind pat
fdns, come up and e1ricate US from our difficulties,
otherwise we will be forced to deal with others as
we are dealt with. Remember, Delays are dan
gerous."
p Thuse who have already received summons
to appear before certain Magistrates in various parts
of the District for not paying the Printer, must not
think hard of US. We wanted our dues, and were
tired Of dunning, is the only apology we have ior
pursuing that course with them.

which was to end on the 10th of September,
will BIZ extended to the lst of October.
Commercial letters from Paris state that the
business Of the past week was very quiet, and
without change. Partisan manufactures were
dull of sale, but considerable activity is expec-
ted in all descriptions by the end of the month
or lst of October. In the Corn trade the late
numerous arrivals ut Marseilles had caused hol-
ders to abate their pretensions, and prices were
declining.

The Madrid journals contain the offisial justi.

nouneement of the display Of the military force

CHINA PEA.-Our good friend, Asa w. Allen,
Esq, has presented US, says the Coosa (Ala.)
Argus, with stalk of the aChlna Pea.a new
variety in this region. 1t is of very prolific yield,
as the specimen before us is superabundantly
supplied with its fruit, as we'll as heavily laden
with nutrcious foliage. We think this species
of the pea better suited for the use OF cattle
than any thing of the kind that we have ever
seen while it is also an excellent article for table
use. For manurlng land, too, it must be inval.
liable, as its leaves are much more numerous
than those of the cotton plant.

ONE-TENTH OF A SECOND From DEATH.-!t
will be remembered that the Rev. Mr.. Sellwood,
of the Episcopal Church, missionary to Oregon,
was in the Panama massacre, and reported
among the dead. In letter just received from
him he says that he received four wounds and
is disfgured for life. His narrow escape from
death ia thus described.
"After had recovered, and previous to leav-
ing the Hospital, one of my medical attendants
said to me: 81 look upon your escape as MI !!
racle the ball passed SO near the heart, that 1t
must have passed at the instant of its contrac-
ton, for had it passed at its expansion, yoa
must have been killed. Just the one one.tenth
