THE COLD WEATHER.

A Farmer writesfr Higgins Ferry, to the
editor Of the Carolmiaa, concerning tho recent
cold weather, thus 49, - . e-
Mr.. Editor: It is the general impression that
the weather during the past month has been the
coolest that the "oldest inhabitant" has experien
:ced. This, however, is q mistake. Iwell remsm-
ber the year 1886. It showed i've times In Janu-
srY, once in February, and once in March-the
last being the heaviest fall of snow lever saw
tell to the depth of twelve inches on level and
in many places drifted to twice that depth. Du-
ring that year, (l8S5, February yas the coolest
day. cannot say from my own observations how
low the thermometer fell that night but learn from
another that it went below zero. -
) In the winter Of 1872, there was, ALSO
weather than we had this winter. In December,
1861, the thermometer was below the freezing
point for FIVE entire dsys-ranging between S0s
and 15o. For several days after the cold spell,
Saluda Riverwas full Of large sheets Of floating
ice. s,.s.ssl
In the month,o January, 1852, the thermoms-
ter, on the morning Of the 26tb, was down TO 50
at this place. and again the river was full Of ice.
have seen no ice In Saluda 2this winter. This
winter, the coolest day we have had was Monday,
the 18th ultmo-the Thermometer, at sunrise on
tho 14th, was at 200; at noon 28o and on the
morning Of the 18th at 12o. ,s..-
I believe, however, that the month just passed
has been the worst for outdoor work, Of which
farmers have been able toiio but little. yS

VINO SeCCleQ Luc OCdIe' I1c "do 1Oi uduJ
years Justice of the Peace in the county Of
Shelby, for two years its High Sheriff, and
for sixty years minister Of the gospel.
- Congress, it is expected, will do some
thing this session towards the adoption Of a
uniform system of weights and measures,
similar to that which forms The basis Of our
coinage. Other countries are mosIngin the
same direction, and it is quite probable that,
in few years, all the commercial and civil
lied countries will have adopted similar
system, which would greatly facilitate the
operations of trade and commerce. A gen.
tleman in New York, Mr. FELTON,, We see
has started the subject at this tune by lee
ture upon it, in which he proposed to super
cede all the present tables of weights and
measures by a graduated series, in which
each denomination shall be exactly ten times
greater than It's next inferior. For instance
in the scale of weights he would have ten
scruples one drachm, ten drachms one ounce
ten ounces one pound, ten pounds one stone,
ten stones one cwt., ten cwts, one ton. Ap-
ply to such tables the dicemal currency as
to prices, and the parts ofa pound would ex-
actly correspond with the parts of dollar.
An article at 81 per pound would be one
dime per ounce, one cent per drachm, and
one mill per scruple. The same principle
applies to all the departments of weights and
measures. Mr. f. contends that the intro
duction of this system would greatly simpli-
fy commercial transactions of all kinds, and
do away with most of the difficulties which
besst the study of numbers.

TRIAL OF SKILL.-A trial of skill be-
tween two "cracks shots" of our city, came
off day before yesterday, at the ranch of 7.
0. Selby, Esq, below the r. street .levee.
The shooting was between DR.. Downes and
It. 0. Selby, with the Doctors Wesson rifle
distance two hundred yards, at target
of two and half inches in diameter. They
fired ten shots each. Five Of Selby's were
centre shots, and could b. covered with a
dime; the other five ranged from half to
three-quarters of an inch from the centre
Nine of DR.. Downes' were centre shots, all
broken in together, and could be covered
with half a dollar the whole ten shots could
be covered with dollar. .-'-,.
This was such shooting as we never saw
before, and the marksmen may we'll be proud
Of it. The Doctor has borne the palm for
years as being the best rife shot in the State:
but Selby crowds him narrowly, and the fact
that the Rife was the Doctors favorte rifle
and new to Selby, gave the Doctor slight
advantage. The Doctor is ready to challenge
any man or any men in the State, to
shoot against Selby and himself any distance
from 100 to 1000 yards, for thousand
dollars We should like to see the chal-
lepgc taken California american. -~

past three o'clock yesterday afternoon VIM.
Brocklebank, bricklayer, and Stephen, a
colored workman, who was assisting him,
fell from the top Of an unfinished brick wall,
which was an extension of the Charleston
Bank building, some thrty-6ve feet, and in

upon a projecting cornice, and stepping up
on it before the mortar was dry, it gave way,
precipitating them to the pavement below
Mr.. Brocklebank fell upon the spearheads
of the iron railing which eucloses the yard
on State-strect, striking one of them with
his left arm, which, from the force of the
fall, was entirely severed between the elbow
and the shoulder, the arm falling on one side
Of the railing while he fell on the other.
He seemed perfectly cool and collected,

A PANIC STRICKEN ARMY.

Travellers in the western wilds of our
country are well aware that it is no uncom-
mon thing for horses, when confined together
for the night, to take fright, at some iraagin-
airy object, and gallop, at Lcadlong speed, a
great distance from the camp. But brute
animals are not only the creatures that at
times become so co:np.>tv.y beside themselves
with fear as to refuse to be controlled by
reason. History records numerous instances
where men have been panic stricken aud
have fled in confusion from the assaults of
an enemy that existed on ) in the faucies of
their own heated brains One Of the most
remarkable cases of this kind which has oc-
cured in modern times, Was the flight of
the Austrian army in l7SS, when retreating
before the Turks through the Turkish pro-
vince Of Wallachia DR.. Nchse, in his men,
ors of the Court, Aristocracy and Diploma
cy of Austria, gives the following account
of this singular and disastrous affair:
On the 18th of August the Turks crossed
the Danube near Orsoyo and kladowa, and
entered the Banat of Tcmeswar. The lm-
pcral troops had to retreat incessantly; the
Turks sabrcd the whole squadrons Of the
Austrian rear. For three months the Turk
ish troops oyerran that beautiful country,
which they changed into desert The I'M
pcrial armies had to retreat as far as Tcmes-
war The most terrible night was that of
the 2Sth of September, l7SS, when $4,000
! -Imperialists retreatcd to the plain Of Lugos.
Some hussars quarrcled near brandy cart
with a party of soldiers of the Free Crops,
and drove them from the spot These men
returned, fired at the hussars, and called out
in loud voice, Turks Turks " This false
alarm caused incredible confusion. The
Austrian troops fired on their own rear, which
they mistook for the assailing Turks. Lascy
had forgotten to call in the pickets on the
left wing. In order to wait for them, the
word of command, Halt p vas given But
the terrified troops mistook, in the fright,
'Halt HaltH for the Turkish cry of sAllah!
Allah ? and instead of stopping, fed in a
panic. Joseph, who was with the van, tried
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1856-08-28

to stay the flight near small bridge but
his open calcche was overturned in the con-
fusion and thrown from the bridge in the
river.
Joseph now leaped on horse, but was
carried away unknown by the flying crowd.
He had lost his suite and knew not where he
was. Fortunately groom recognized him.
This man saved him, and Joseph arrived
with him alone at Karanscbes. He had been
in danger of being taken prisoner by the
Turks, who had faithless Wallachains for
their guides. The army was demoralizcd
by the noble officers; the disaffection towards
the Emperor which the mobiles and the cler-
gy had excited against him, had now gained
ground among the military also. The train
fell into irremediable confusion. The drivers
of the artillery cut the traces of their horses
and left the cannon behind on the road
The leaders of the sumpter horses threw the
packs away, and rode off on the disburdened
animals with wild cries of The Turks are
coming; all is lost; save yourselves" The
soldiers who escorted the baggage, fired upon
their own people among the train, and in
creased the hopeless disorder. The road
was covered all over with baggage, arms, and
warlikc stores of every description, between
which men on foot, horseback, and in car
riages, were pushing on, shouting, swearing
and oycrthrowing everything that came in
their way. As many as 10000 men were
wounded or killed in this false alarm.

THE GREAT COMET OF 1856.-This long
expected comet was seen in the South of
ireland, on the 30th ult. The Dublin OBJ
server says:
1t had then the appearance of globe of
fire as large as good.sized orange, with a
broad tail of Light extending about lS inch
es from the body. The two gentlemen
watched it for an hour, and the watchman
on the weir observed it ALSO On Thursday
night they all saw it again. 1t rose few
moments later, presenting the same appear
ances, and was high in the heavens at half
past l. o'clock, when they went home. At
that hour one one of the gentlemen pointed
it out to his sister. Last night, from the
same place, the same persons again saw it
rise about twenty minutes before II o'clock,
and then it first occurred to one of. them
<our iuforman) that it might be comet:
He ceased to watch it about midnight, but
The watchman observed it up to half.past /
o'clock this morning. 1t did not seem SO
large as on the previous nights, but far ex7
ceeded the most brilliant form in which the
planet Jupiter has ever been beheld.
