Biography of Senator Butler.

The Charleston Courier of the 27th contains biography of the late Andrew Pckens Butler, the South Carolina Senator who died at six o'clock on the evening of the 25th of droIsy, at Stonelands, his residence, about five miles
 from the village of Edgefeld, in the sixty second year of his age. From this obituary we derive the following facts: The deceased Sera. tor was born in Edgefeld District in the year
 l796. His father was the late Gen. William
 Butler of Virginia, and his mother Behethlaud Moore of Fdgefield, the former having migated from Virginia |" south Carolina He hal six brothers, among them George, a gallant officer in the war with Great Britain, who died young;
 William Butler, NJ. D., formerly surgeon in the | nited States navy, and member of Con- gross from South Carolina, and Pierce NJ. But Ter, formerly Governor of the State, and after wards Colonel of the Palmetto Regiment who died Tn the hour of victory, at the head of that corps, on the memorable field of Cherubusco
 They were of patriot stock, their father having done revolutionary and warrior service in the war ot independence. Their mother too, did patriotic service in the same cause, and was at one time taken prisoner by the enemy.
 Senator Buffers sister was the first wife of the Hon. Waddy Thompson, and all his broth- CTS having preceded him to the grave, he now completes the obituary roll. He was a pupil of Dr. James Waddell, at Willintou Academy, and graduated at the College of South Carolina ln 1877, with distinction, having been awarded a third honor He commenced his official life ln the popular branch of the State legislature, whence he was transferred to the State Senate; and he made his mark as an able and eloquent debater in both Houses. In ISIS he was ad- mtted to the bar, and almost contemporaueous- ly appeared before committee of the HouS of Representatives, in a contested election between Charles Bussy and William Middleton. of Edgeheh District. He soon rose 10 high dis. tmcton in his profession. In December, 1883. he was elected an associate law judge of the State, ard Is said to have worn the ermine with lmpartiality, upnghtuess and ability. In the year l646 he was elected United States Senator, as the colleague of Mir Calhoun His health began to fail upwards of year since, and his decline was doubtless, in some measure. has, tened by the melancholy and sudden death of his young kinsman, Preston s, Brooks, whom he loved with almost parental affection. IIe lett Washington at the close of the late exc cutlve session of the Senate in very feeble state, having remained until the las moment at the post of his duty; and returned t hia home to mlnSle his mortal dust with that of his pa- rents ond kindred in his native ~.ate ills hrst Wife was Simpkins, who died childl,ss shortly after their marriage; and his second wife was Hayne, granddaughter of the reyolutiooa- ry martyr Col. Isaac Hayne-she. too. died Tn an early period of their welded life, leav- ing one daughter, who survives to mourn her parent.

Agricultural Prospects,

The agricultural prospects throughout the State are considered very fair The subject of the crops, owing to the peculiarity of the spring season, has occasioned much remark among the press and people, and no little misapprehension has been felt as to the real prospects. The reports received from some of the chief grain growing counties, of the yield of the wheat crop, is very encouraging, and it is now gene- rally admitted that more than an average crop has been made. The increased quantity of land brought into cultivation this year, will of course remedy the evil of an unpropitious sea- son to considerable degree, and the extent of our agricultural resources, with the coucom- tant varieties of climate and soil, will undoubt- edly preclude any thing Ike scarcity. In some portions of the State, it is true, the un- favorable spring worked some injury to the farming interests, but in others the deficiency will be supplied by good crops. The recent rains, though partial and light in their charac- ter, have had beneficial influence upon the products of the country, and we hope for more general and frequent showers

He was educated Marysvllle Institute under the superintepd.,. of the gifted divine and teacher, the Rev n Anderson, so long favorably known in Tennessee in his church and in the carso -, education. And he there received that r,o--, and wholesome instruction which presern., him from temptation, and caused him to s.. and lead useful life in one of the bono,.,I professions. He came to this State and sa,a., at Fayetteville, where he was associated r., some time in practice with the Hon Dor;, Walker, late au associate justice of tba B. preme Court, whose correct morals, sound lo gal mind, and honorable professional bear;r. afforded a model for imitation to his inr;' partner.

Who Writes the Negro SOnps

The principal writer of our national music is Stephen c. Foster the author of" U ncle Ned" 70 Susannah," etc. He resides near Pittsburg, Pennsy ylvania where he occupies a moderate clerkship, upon which, and per centage on the sales of his songs, he depends for living. He writes the poetry as well as the music of his songs. These are sung wherever the Eng
 fish language is spoken, while the music is sung wherever men sing. In the cotton fields of the South, among the mines of California and Australia, in the sea-coast cities of China, in Paris, in the London prison-every where, in fact, his melodies are heard. "Uucle Ned'' was the first. This was published in 1S45, and reached a sale unknown till then in the music publishing business. Of "The Olds Folks at Home,' 100000 copies have been sold in this country, and as many more in England. "My Kentucky Home," and "Old Dog Tray" each had a sale of about 10000. All his other songs have had great run. All his compositions are simple, but they are natural, and find their way to the popular heart, and link themselves indssoubly with it's best associations.

or The Know Nothings of Washington Baltimore armed desperadoes, with the view of controlling the ballot box, met with the eXecration of all true Americans. The blood of the innocent rests upon them. The Star gives the following particulars relative to the firing of the marines, with whom fault had been found:
 "A man ran up to General Henderson, with. in two feet of his person, and was about to dis charge bis revolver, when marine with his musket struck his arm, causing the weapon to fall, at the same time the General seized the villain and marched him off to the mayor into whose hands he placed him. The pistol shots now rattled around like hail stones, and the officers had great difficulty in restraining their men from returning the fire. Gen. Henderson and all the officers were constantly admOnlsh- ing the men not to fire until the command was given, but a shot coming from the crowd struck a marine in the cheek, nhicting a dreadful wound, and several more being hit with balls and brckbats the soldiers could stand it no longer they poured in an answering fire which was stopped as soon as possible by the officers.
 Of the marines who were called out 60 were raw recruits and had not been under drill three days They are nearly all natives. The charge of their being foreign hrelings,' em- ployed by executive power to shoot down American citizens is thus refuted.
 The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says:
 "The command of the battalion devoved upon Capt. Tyler one of the bravest and most gentlemanly officers in that valuable arm of the public service, the marine corps. It is said that one of our prominent citizens inquir ed by what authority he brought his con- mand up to the city hall. The gallant officer, superior to all former private friendships, re- piled. The highest authority in the land sir.'"
 The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer concludes an article on the riots with this remark:
 The vigorous measures taken by Mayor Magruder, and furthered by President Buch- anan in vndication of the law and the public peace, entitle them to the commendation of every good citizen throughout the length and breadth of the land. The executive officer who, in trying times, successfully asserts and maintains the supremacy of the law, is he who of all men deserves best of the republic.'
 The national Intelligencer of Wednesday says
 'There seems to be no reason to doubt that the Plug Ugly bands were imported by prior engagement from Baltimore, and that their fare between the two cities was paid by persons here; their eating was provided for them in mass; why and for what services rendered it will be for their introducers to expiain.''

Drowned.

It is with unfegned sadness, we record the untimely and melancholy death of Col. J. RINGoLD by dro @nng in White river, on the l7th inst. We give the circumstances of this distressing accident as we get them from Capt. J. D. Adams. Col R. had been to accompany his daughter to Little Rock, and was returning to Batesyie, his home, on the steamer Sam Hale. As tbe boat Was turning bend about ten miles above Clarendon, Capt. Adams, and several other gentlemen walked dowu through the pantry on the arboard to the lower deck, to Inspect some improvements, winch had re- gently been made Ill the machinery of the boat COl. R. remaining In the cabin. They had scarcely reached the lower deck and walked alt before, itseems Col R. concluded to follow them, winch he did, speaking to the steward as he passed through the pantry. He reached the deck and Was passing aft along the guards, when, as the steward thinks, lie either gave way in one of hiS ankles or ripped against a rn5 bolt and fell overheard, and struck off with apparent ease and sell-conhdence, swimming for the shore. Capt Adams had the boat stop ped almost immediately, and Mir. Crawford threw piece of timber and plank out to him, but though floating within ten feet of him he appeared not to notice them. h the mean while the life boat was launched, but was too late to reach him before he sank. Capt. A. thinks he was drowned or strangled by the waves of the boat before he sank, as he never rose. He sank within 30 feet of the shore. When all hope of his rescue was at an end, Capt. A. had hooks made and remained with hts boat from o'clock P. NJ. till 10 o'clock at night, making every effort to recover his body, but in vain. He then dropped three miles be- low, and employed several men to continue the search until they found the body or until he could return. Capt. Adams deserves all praise for his prompt and generous, though unavail- ing efforts to save the drowning man. The family of Col. Ringold have our heartfelt sym pathy under this afflicting dspensaton of Him who holds our destnies in his hands.-Jack- SOnpot Union, June 20

Past and Present Condition of the Negro

The New York Observer, a religious paper, Tn the course of an able article on "The<P5st and Present Condition of the Negro" thus shows up" northern plilanthrophy:'
 Before the ancestors of those negroes were torn from their homes in Africa, by the slave traders of New England, and placed under the Influence of christianity at the south they were among the most degraded and miserable of the human species-slaves of cruel mas- ters and victims of bloody superstitous, be- l1eyers in witchcrait and worshipers of the devil. And now what is the condition of their descendants? Several years ago, more than ooO,oOO ot them were members of the Protes- tant Evangelical churches in the slaveholding States! Nlne-tenths of the negroes of the south are still slaves, but is slavery under chriStain masters in America, the same as un- der heathen tyrants in Africa? Degraded as these slaves may still be, compared with the sons of the pilgrims of New England, or even the mass of the laborers in some of tho en- hghtened countries in Europe, can 100000 or l,ooo,OOO negroes, bond or free, be found in any part of the world, who can compare for good condition, physical, intellectual or moral With the slaves of the south? Has chriStianl- ", aided by all the wealth of christians, done as much during the last twenty years for the elevation of the SOO,OOO emancipated negroes Tn the West Indies, British philanthropsts themselves being the judges of what it has done during the same period for the eeva- ton of our 100000 American slavesl

The Examination.

Agreeably to previous announcement, the annual examination of the Young Ladies' h. sttute of this city took place last week at the hall of the institute. As it was not in our DOW
 CT to give constant attendance on Monday and Tuesday, we cannot hope to do justice to that Important part of the examining exercises; en- tire satisfaction, however is generally expressed by those who witnessed the recitations of the various classes. The forenoon of Wednesday Was occupied in an address to the school and assembly; very chaste, touching and appro- priate valedictory, by one of the young ladies ot the institute; report of the principal, in re- gard to the general department and diligence Of the pupils; report of the examining con- mlttee, by Rev. Mir. Freeman, and few very appropriate remarks by Rev. MT. Frazer Wednesday evening at o'clock came the mu. scal review, by the music students, consisting of vocal and instrumental performances. This was delightful episode in the examination and furnished abundant evidence of the eff. clency of the music teachers as well as of the proficiency of the young ladies. Thursday evening the examination closed by the rehears- al of the French colloquy, entitled "Semira- ms, the Queen of Babylon;" and thus termi. hated one of the most agreeable, entertaining and satisfactory examinations, perhaps, ever gwen by any institution in the State.
