ed their stock, and advertise varied assortment
of Reaiy-made Clothing, Furnishing goods, and
all the ct cetera of which gentlemen are in need.
The stock has been carefully selected by Mr. SIN
R1L, who has spent his life with "broad-cloths,
cassmers and vestings," and has the good taste
and Judgment to select the best qualities and the
latest styles, at the cheapest prices Their stock
of the finer qualities of clothing 81 unusually
good.
Mr.. RATcHroRD has removed to the new stand
in the Lindsay Building" where he invites his
former customers and the public at large to call
and examine his new Spring and Summer stock
The new store is fitted up in fine style, and is al
together one Of the handsomest establishments VIC
wot Of This, along with the elegantly finished
store of Messrs MOORE & RAISEY, would do cred
it to the fashion-t -thronged thoroughfare of King
street. They are both admirable exhibitions OF
combined good taste and enterprise, and ought to
be regarded and encouraged as among the surest
indications of the progress and prosperity Of our
town.
While passing, look in upon MILES JOHNSON q
Co., and take an inventory Of their new supply Of
Saddles, Brides, Mountings &c. They tell us OF
a new patent affair in the shupe Of saddle, so
made as effectually to provide against inuring the
back of your horse, and capable of being folded
up and packed away blanket.fashion. Call and
find out about it. If it doesn't answer your pur-
pose, however, they have full supply of materials
and can manufacture according to your order and
in style not to be e1ccledin these regions. When
home industry, like MILES JoHNsoS's, really de-
serves to be encouraged, the good old motto ought
by all means to have its force.
Messrs L. P. BARNETT & Co., advertise in our
paper, this week, newstock of fresh and genuine
Chemicals, Drugs, Medicines, and remedies gener-
ally for the ills that flesh is heir to. They are
constantly receiving new supplies, and are pre-
pared to fill and solicit orders both at home and
from abroad Refer to their advertisement.

"A correspondent from Virginia writes
that while some hands employed by Mr.. VIM
Keavons, were digging out cellar in Boti-
torut Country, Va, about 4 miles from
Buchanan, they came upon quantity of
coin, consisting of some eight pieces in an
iron box about fourteen inches square. The
coin was larger than dollar and the inscrip-
ton in language wholly unknown to any
person in the vicinity. Upon digging down
some sixteen inches lower, they came to a
quantity of iron implements Of singular aud
heretofore unseen shape. Several sientihc
gentlemen have examined into the matter,
and had come to the conclusion that the
coins, together with the various other curios-
tiles, must have been placed there at an ex-
trcmely early date and before the settlement
of this country.

ordered all Russian on furlough to return. The
Imperial foundry OH the left bank of the Don was
closed indicating the intention Of Russia to abon-
don the maritime establishment. The news ofthe
armstce had produced profound sensation ofjoy
amid the armies. Along the shore of the sea of
Azof business became suddenly active. General
Codrington had issued orders forbidding any firing
upon the Russian troops until the expiration of the
armistcc. Areport from the Crimea states that
two divisions Of the British army, under Sir Colin
Campbell, had proceeded to Canada.
nounces that the Danish Minister, N. Schcee, had
officially announced the prolongation of the treaty
relative to the Sonnd dues with the United States,
for two months. The treaty would have expired
on the 14th of April next. The proposition came
from Washington.

rHuRsDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1855.
INTERESTING CEREMONIES.


By reference to the announcement in our adver-
tising columns, it will be seen that the ceremonies
at the laying of the cornerstone of the new Bar
racks for the Military School, in Yorkville, will
take place on Tuesday, the 22d instant. The ad-
dress will be delivered by Gen. Wallace, and the
exercises will be conducted, as usual, by the Ma
sonic fraternity. This will be an occasion OF unu-
sual interest-an era in our town; and ought to
attract a very general attendance.
We learn that invitations will be extended by
the Lodge of this place to the Odd Fellow and
Masonic Lodges of the surrounding Districts, and
we hope that large delegation will feel ita duty,
as we'll as pleasure, to lend us their presence and
assistance.
The programme of the ceremonies to be obser-
we'd will be published in our paper, next week.

".C. BLACK, ESQ-
Messrs. Editors We see in your last issue the
proceedings of a meeting held at McGill & McEl-
wees Store on the 29th of March, at which WILL
LIAM C. BLACK, Esq, was unanimously nominated
as suitable person to represent the Western por-
ton of York District in the next Legislature
And believing it nothing but just and proper that

well as from the Eastern portion of the District,
we therefore heartily concur with the meeting in

duty to give him our support.

state that 260 troops had been ordered by Gen.
Garland to invade the Gila country, and avenge
the murders and robberies committed by the Apa-
ches.."....The proceedings in Congress during
the past week are not of much Importance. The
Kansas question is at rest for q time, and men,
bers are addressing their attention to matters of
minor interest. The movements on the chess
board elsewhere, are not insignificant; but we
have not space, this week, to dot them down.

A PRESENTER.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1856-04-10
=rThe Rockingham (Va.) Advertise,

-The Rockingham (Va.) Advertiser
states that respectable farmer named Sam
vel Hsnly, residing in that country, has
totally abstained from food for fifty ssren
days! and he may yet survive several days.
For some time he has been in rather mel
ancholy mood, and about two months ago he
refused TO eat, and since that time has not
taken anything except water; and, strange
to say, he is still alive, though reduced to
mere skeleton. Neither physician nor friends
can induce him to take any nouriShmeDt.-
He declares he can swallow nothing, though
he does every now and then take a drink Of
water. He will doubtless persist in this de-
lusion until he stsrves to death.
Tho department at Washington have
issued one huAdred and twelve thousand
seven hundred and ninety -four land warrants,
under the act Of 1856. The applications
received amount to two hundred and forty.
two thousand. There will be some waiting
for those who are last on the list, though one
hundred and seventy thousand have been ex-
amined, and fifteen thousand Of the remain.
der, it is said, will be suspended for further
proof. These cases require much more care
and time in examination, and one.third to
one-half. The present supply of warrants
will consequently be soon exhausted, without
the possibility of its again occurring-should
there be more than the usual demand, prices
must go higher than they have ever done.
Upon the subject of dress and appear
ances, the New York Times thus remarks: {:
ga coat that has the marks Of use upon it
is recommendation to people Of sense; and
a hat with too smooth nap and too high a
lustre is derogatory circumstance The
best coats in Broadway are on the backs Of
of penniless fops, broken down merchants,
clerk with pitiful salaries, and men that don't
pay up. The heaviest gold chains dangle
from the fobs of gamblers and gentlemen OF
very limited means costly ornaments on the
ladies indicate to the eyes that are well op-
en-, the fact ofa silly lover or husband cramp-
ed for funds. And when pretty woman
goes by in suit of plain and neat apparel,
it is sign that she has fair expectations
and husband that can show balance in
his favor. For women are like books; too
much gliding makes men suspicious that
the biuding is the most important point
The New York Herald tells story ofa
colored woman named DIANA. who souie two
years siuce was purchased from her owner,
S. F. Gould, Esq, Of Edse6eld, South Car
oliua, by aboitionists residing in New York.
The herald states that Diana came to that
city and nursed her mother until she died,
when, having no orelative or friends here, and
being out of employment, she naturally en-
ough desired to return to the home of her
childhood, where her husband and children
are still living. Hearing that Col. NJ. Fra
zer, neighbor of ner former master, was in
the city, she called upon him at the Astor
House, and pitcously begged Of him to take
her back to her old home, as she was heartily
.ick of freedom. Colonel Frazer consented,
and on Friday the pair left for the South.
