A RAMBLE IN THE COUNTRY.

Cowper but expressed the common sentiment of
mankind when he said,
"God made the country and man made the town."
However, we may, like the business and excite
ment of town-lifc there are moments when we
wish to fly to the country and under the bracing
influence of the country air and in view of the
pleasant prospects of the tidy farms and quiet
dwellings embosomed in natural groves, to forget
the hustle and confusion, the straight streets and
narrow pavemcnts of the town and the busy coun-
tenances and eager looks Of merchants and law
yers, and sharpers. Besides we not only escape
from the dull routine of every day, but surround,
ed by fair landscapcs-God's own workmanship
and meeting fair ruddy maidens, pleasant with
out affection and beautiful without pretence, we
feel new and nobler emotions rise in ourbosoms-
emotions of love for the natural and the true.
On Saturday last we paid flying visit to the
Union Division of the "Sons'' in company with
MILES JOHNSON, the enterprising saddle and har-
ness maker The division, although but one
month old, already numbers about thirty men,
bers, and on Saturday last sevesal ladies were
initiated to give new zest to Aourishing cause.
Every enterprise must flourish over which woman
sheds her ssselectest influences" Whether she be
the APOSTLE of truth or error, her eloquence is
ever successful--"Al orators are dumb when
beauty peadeth." And it is truly encouraging
to see her exerting her potent influence in the pro-
motion of cause, the object of which, is to ele-
vate the morality and contribute to the happiness
of mankind. 1t is peculiarly to her interest to
remove the evils of Intemperance. For the inc
briate neither respects her feelings, appreci-
ates her WORTH nor cherishes for her those genial
me-embalmed affections, which inspire SO many
elevated feelings, lefty aspirations and undehled,
pleasurable emotions We never see victim of
the grog-shop, but what the image of care-worn,
sorrowing wife presents itself, looking wistfully
from her cottage window for the returning foot
step or of lone sister blending fair within her
locks" over the miniature of father or brother

FOREIGN ITEMS.

1t was rumored that the Persian troubles were
nearly settled. The Ncufchatel affair is still un-
adjusted though another conference is to open in
Paris early in March to settle it. The Russians
are waging war with the Circassians and also en-
croachug upon the Persian territory. The ltal-
ian affairs are still in confused state, with no
prospect of an improvement. 1t is rumored that
Canton had been totally destroyed The priuci-
pal news from France is comments on the speech

enthusiastically of the prosperity Of the Empire
and its incr, asng revenues His hold on French

SOUTH CAROLYN, COLLEGE.


We are unier obligations to onc of the officers
of the College, for cory of the catalogue for
1857 and We are eratfcd to learn from al ac-
companying note that the affairs Of the College
are in healthy and fourishing condition. The
number of students in attendance is l58-not
considerably below the average.
The College has, during the last four years, pas
sed through searching md fiery ordeal, which
would test the strength and try the stability of
the most highly endowed institution in the land.
The wonder is, that it has not been involved in
utter ruin-that one stone in the consecrated
structure stands upon another to be witness still
of the far-reaching wisdom, the public spirit and
the liberality of our people. All the auspices of
her permanent success are auspicious; the Fac
ulty is complete, able, and at work and the pop
ular clamor has wel-nigh, and, We trust, forever,
subsidized. The suhioincd paragraph is taken from
the note to which we have alluded
Sour numbers are only fourteen less than those
of last year but as our Junior Glass is small and
the internal Affairs of the College in every respect
satisfactory, confidently anticipate that our next
Catalogue will show larger number of students
than we have had in several years. am gratihed
to be able to say that the diligence and order in
the College arc in every respect satisfactory; aud
that the new Professors at their posts, earnest
industrious and successful. Believing that our
cherished Institution was never more deserving of
the patronage and confidence of the public, and
the support of the State, I look forward to its
continued prosperity in spite of the difficulties
which attended the commencement of the present
administration"

Ray As usual, the incidents and accidents OF
Court week have sufficcd to deter us from theper'
petration of our accustomed quant"m OF editorial.
This must be so; and We can only promise that,
for the future, we will cndeavor to make ample
amends.
Much of the vacant space has been given to
President Buchanan's Inaugural Address. ltwill
be read with interest not for anything new or
striking or particularly excellent therein. but sim
ply because it is Mr.. Buchanans Inaugural. We
have no quarrel to make withit. As specimen
of English style, the reader will think it quite
ordinary; as political dsquisition, entirely COM

are to shape and control the conduct of the ad-
ministraton, it is plain, direct and, in the MAN,
in accordance with the doctrine of the Southern
Democracy. Read the Inaugural, and glance
over the names in the Cabinet, and You will be
willing, we think, to yield, with us, ready and
confident support to "the powers that be-"

eighteen months ago, JAMES A. PRICE, was put
upon trial at Union for the murder Of q man
named HUGHES, in the far-famcd 'Pca- Ridge
country. In consequence of the illness of one OF
the Jurors, a mis-trial was had Before the set
ting of the next term, PRICE escaped from prison
and made his way to Tennessee, where he remain

abroad and were the wise heads Of the place laid
togther, some effective plan would be suggested
to resuscitate its trade give life and energy
to its dropping, commercial interests. But our
country friends need not fear the ghost of Intem-
pcrance. The pallid spectre may still haunt our
streets for season but under the spreading wings
of Temperance, industry, frugality and content
ment will cast beam of tranquility and happi-
ness over our beautiful village. We should like
to receive more frequent visits from our Cores
pondcnt.
We should state however, that the receipts,
both for passengers and freight, on the Kings
Mountain Railroad, exhibits n decided increase
over the receipts of the same months in 1885,
thus showing that the trade of Yorkville is i'm
proving. ... .... .

that the impression is abroad that our merchants
do no. pay rx-orbitant prices, but we think it
rather an assumed than substantiated fact. But
be that as it may, the unfavorable impression is
abroad and it would be well for our merchants to
exhibit their enterprising spirit apd make new
endeayors to WOO back the trade to our marset.

RETURN.DAY IN CHESTER.

We learn that the Return in Chester, last
week, footed-up near four hundred cascs-most
of them, however, as in our own District, for small
amounts and comparatively worthless. For q
time Chester has appeared to be somewhat Sun
der the weather.; but the wheel has made turn
for the better, we think-improvements arc in
progress, business more brisk, and men Of busi-
ness more confident and reliable. The Court Dock
cts will be heavier than usual; but lighter than
we had reason to anticipate So, We take it, our
neighbors are prospering.

occasion. Neither is it necessary for the public
service to strain the language Of the constitution
because all the great and useful powers required
for successful administration Of the government,
both in peace and in war, have been granted Ell
thcr in express terms or by the plainest implca-

Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, yet

construction Of a military road when this is ab-

Under the Constitution Congress has power to de-

and maintain navy, aud to call forth the militia

How it is possible to afford this protection to Cali
rornia and our pacific possessions, except by
means Of military road through the territory Of
the United States, over which men and munitions
of war may be speedily transported from the At
lantic States to meet and repel the invader? In
case Of war with naval power much stronger
than our own, We should then have no other avail

power would instantly close the route across the

1t isimpossiblc to conceive that whilst the Con-

any fair construction the only possible means by
which one of these States can be defended. Be-
sides, the Government, ever since its origin, has
been in the constant practice Of constructing mill

whether the love for the Union, which now anima-

not be impaired by our neglect or refusal to pro-
