A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The memory of the oldest inhabitant cannot run
back to the time when the Christmas merry-making
in Yorkville was more genial and hearty. Merry
heads, merry hearts, merry eyes, merry hands, mer-
ry all over, right merry time we have had Of it !
The white and red roses, mingling joyfuy the fair
flowers of the empire" and the "0ldNorth States,
gratefully dispensing wealth of beauty and pleas
urc, and the bouquet crowned with the pure emblem
of that blessed institution which binds willing hearts
together a have paid willing tribute to the over
whelming treasury of our joy and gladness, and
made of it season to be marked by an unfadng
recollection.
Tuesday the reunion at Mr.. RosE's was en-
joyed to the utmost, and went off superby This
evening" we have the last of them all at Mr.. WALK
ER's. "Come one, come all" 1t is an old and trite
saying that ''Christmas comes but once year,
nevertheless, it hash lesson to be improved. Let
us improve it, and let the close of the season be as
Joyous as was it's commencement!

SALES AND SAhES-DAY.

We learn that at the sale of the estate of Mrs. Ma
RY PETTus, on the 9th ut, twenty-five negroes sold
for the sum of fifteen thousand four hundred dol
lars Six of these were young children, and two
aged negroessold for merely nominal amount
When we consider the scarcity of the medium and,
also the fact that more than half fthe negroes were
sold as unsound, these prices almost fabulous.
The fact is we suspect that our friend VINCE McEL
uAxEy had more effect upon the sales than any con-
sideraons in reference to the money market. 1t is
wonderful what sales good auctioneer can make,
and our friend Nc, affords always capital e1em-
p6cation of the fact 1t is to our view, better to
employ thorough going auctioneer even though at
the expense of dozen prices; therefore, refer to
VlNcE's advertisement.
Next Monday is Sae-day, when he may lie expect
cd to appear again in public, and offer several i'm
portant inducements to buyers. The Commissioner
adyertises tract of land east of the Caawba river
belonging to the estate of Kimbrel; also, the House

.Atrocio,rs Outrage.

About o'clock on Tuesday, an ARRAY occurred
in q tavern OF the corner of Calhoun and East Bay
street. between man by the name of Christ and
another by the name of Gibbes. Two gentlemen.
named Edward 7. Jones and Geo. Dewett, who we're
passing at the time, seeing crowd around the door
very naturally stopped to see what was the matter
They went into the tavern and saw Christ who is the
proprietor of the place, top Of man, beating him
very badly witha stout club with loaded head
The gentlemen made a remark that they did not
think it was right to be beating man in that way
when he was down. Upon this, Christ Immediately
attacked them. Mr.. Jones received blow on his
head which knocked him down; Dewett started out
into the street. followed by Christ who held large
and powerful bulldog by the collar Upon his over
taking Dewett he struck him severe blow which
feed him to the earth he then let loose the dog up
on him, which bit and lacerated him in q shocking
manner; and every time that Dewett would make an
attempt to rise, he as.struck the head by this
fend. Mr.. T. c. Hubbell, gentleman who lives in
the vicinity, Immediately went and tried to make
this villain stop, and it was not until he told him he
would be hung for it. that he did stop. few Sc
conds after Mr.. Hubbell had made Christ draw of
his dog, another iend in human shape, by the name
Of Vierelder came up with another dog, and set him
upon Dewett, who was lying on the ground bleeding
profusely from the wounds he had dalready received

- The perseverance, of Mrs. Gaines, IN
prosecuting her right to the property of her
father, for the last twenty odd years, has been
equally as heroic and unexampled as the long
continued search, against hope, ofLady Frank
lin for her husband-although interest, per-
haps, dictated in the one case, and affection
in the other. Daniel Clark, the father of Mrs.
Gaines, made will, giving her his vast es.
tates, in 1873 After his death no such will
was found; but another, according to which
the property was appropriated away from her
hands. To restore the first will has been her
endeavor all this time, although she has never
gained an issue directly upon the will till with.
in the last two years. She has expended
thousands of dollars in the matter, living up
on "hope deferred" sometimes, doubtless,
almost despairing; but now she is about to
receive the treasure-amounting in value to
several millions of dollars. The press deserv-
edly congratulates this estimable lady upon
the favorable decree of the Supreme Court OF
Louisiana.
The Carolina Cultivator announces
in its last number, that its publisher, VIM. ID.
Cooke, Raleigh, has procured the services OF
Professor B. S. Hedrick, Professor OF Agrl-
cultural Chemistry in the University of North
Carolina, under whose editorial supervision
the publication will be placed from and
after the first of next February. This affords
a strong guarantee for the future ability and
usefulness of the Cu2tivator.

OUR EXCURSION TO CHESTER.

Thursday last, we accepted the kind invitation Of
our Chester friends, and, in company with respec-
table delegation of the Masonic fraternity of our
town, attended the Celebration of the Festival Of
St. John the Evangelist, by the Chester Lodge. In
their accustomed spirit of accommodation or, per-
haps, with their usual keen eyeing of the main
chance the Railroad company placed on extra train
at our service, which we employed as pleasantly
and smoothly as ever such favors were enjoyed.
Upon our arrival, the members were escorted to
the Lodge, and presently the procession was conduc
ted to the Methodist Church, where with the appro-
pirate ceremonies the officers Of the Chester Lodge
were installed by the Deputy Grand Master, Rev.
JAMES D. GIBSON. Following this interesting cere-
mony, Rev. Mr.. MEYNARD1E, the Orator appointed
for the occasion, delivered ON address, setting forth
clearly and in his usual fine style, the nature and
objects of the institution Of Masonry and, especial
ly, its widespread success in all parts Of the world
The address contained much that was new and in
structive and for the benefit of those who value its
lessons ought to be preserved in endurable FORM
At the conclusion Of the exercises, the members
of the Lodge and their guests partook of sump-
tuous entertainment at Mr.. JOHN L. CAnRoLL's
new Hotel, near the Depot The dinner was fne
displaying with the utmost profusion the iberalty
of Mr. CARROLL and the excellent taste and skill Of
his good lady. Many of the Chester ladies' the Sis
ters, wives and daughters of Masoas graced the ia
BILE by their presence, which of itself would have
made it lordly banquet indeed. In the evening,
we returned with the most grateful recollection Of
kindEand hospitable entertainment, acknowledging
each to himself that we were all in all 'Fhe better
for it." %. -
We shall always value these pleasurable inter
changes of kindly feeling with our Chester friends
than whom more genial and warm-hearted commu-
nifty never lived together May it always be SO and
and may the occasions be abundanty multiplied
when we can undertake and enjoy, here and there,
oil those delightful Offices of friendship and love
which should ever mark the intercourse Of neighbor-
ing peoples.

demn the intemperate zeal and, under the crcum-
stances the stupid folly which characterize this &C.
ton. True, the resolution announces the wellknown
and welldefned policy Of the party and in this view
alone ought not to be Objectionable. Under other
circumstances, no one, whether friend or foe would
have doubted the propriety Of its adoption. But
the. very fact that it announces well-defned and
well-known policy rendered its promulgation entire
ly unnecessary. Coming, as every member had
done from the heat and toll of the canvass no right
motive could have induced them to such an impoli-
tic and uncalled-for action.
1t must have been known that the Democratic
party could not of itself command majority in the
House, and at the outset the apprehension might
reasonably have been entertained that success could
only be had eventually at the price of mutual con-
cession and compromise. II was the height of foly
then for the party to rule out thus peremptory the
only friends whom, outside of their own ranks, tbsy
could claim. The contest is really one of slc-.ry
with anti-slayery and to this complexion must it
come at last. Upon this single proposition is based
the creed Of the Republican party and upon it. the
conservative men, Democrats of both North and
South, and Americans, must make the issue. With
but few base exceptions, they are sound slavery
men, and upon this basis all might and could, but
for this unlucky misstep, have long ere this been
united to man. This must yet be done; and in
order to it, the Democratic party should, with dis
play of degree Of its wonted patriotism, recede
from position to which, fear it has been driven
solely by insane and uncalculating spirit Of par
ty rancor and that selfish and corrupt cutching af
ter the spoils-the bane Of party purity and high
born patriotism. Unless the oliye-branch is thus
held out, candor compes ue to say, upon the Demo-
cratic party must rest the responsibility. Samson
like msdly and blindly, they will have involved in
their own the destructono oil that they were COM
missoned to preserve protect and defend beyond the
progress Of this struggle.
Of course, the proceedings inboth Houses are de-
void of special interest The political world is at
standstll, and, until the House isorgani1ed, must
soremsin. Whenever the machinery gets into mo-
ton, weshall announce the fact, and continue, week
after week, to furnish our readers with q full and
accurate report ofthe progress of the session. 4,
