FROM EBENEZER.

Messrs. Editors:-Let me, through the columns
of the ENQUIRER, give few items gathered up in
a recent visit to the fourishing town Ebenezer-
vile. Situated in the eastern part Of the district
nearly upon the Charlotte and S. G. Rail Road,
surrounded by o beautiful and well-watered coun-
try, adapted to agricultural pursuits and inhabi-
ted by social, moral and intelligent community
devoted ardently to the cause of education-this
village presents at once the grace and elegance of
city life and the attractiveness of rural quiet and
retirement. This place, as you already know,
has fourishing male school under the superin-
tendance of Mr.. SHURLEY, so long and so favora-
bly, known as successful instructor; and female
school under the efficient charge of Miss HENRY.
The exercises of both schools will be resumed on
the first Monday in July. Present prospects en-
courage the hope that larger number of students
will attend the coming session than there have ever
been before. The citizens of Ebenezerville and OF
the district, generally, may justly feel proud Of
the successful efforts which have been made to
establish these institutions and Of the rapid pro-
gress in mental culture and progress.
And likewise may they feel gratifed to see such
an enemy to general improvement and social pro-
gress, as intemperance, banished from their midst
An enemy who has long endeavored to maintain

KANSAS.

Col ALpHEUs BAKER in reply to an article in
the Columbia Times, alluding despondingly to the
fate of Kansas, gives US some assurance that "all
is not lost" COL B. thinks "the unconquerable
will and spirit never to submit or yield" still ami
mates the pro-slavery party in that territory. He
says:
"It is wrong when, for US in the South, to give
up so easily and say that all is lost. Our friends
in Kansas do not say so. Far from it. They are
still hopeful and united, and have not the word
submission written in their vocabulary. l re-
ceived but yesterday, letter from distinguish.
ed member of our party there, in which, in reply
to the intelligence which had communicated to
him, that many in the South had asked if the pro-
slavery party in Kansas had not disbanded and
retired from the field, he says
$50 far from being beaten we are victorious.
So far from yielding, we have scarcely yet began
to fight! This was Paul Jones' reply to the Brit,
ish Commander when be asked him during mo-
mentary cessation in the strife, if he had surren'
dered mo- shouted Jones, as he leaped oil spat'
tered with blood black with powder stains upon q
broken gun carriage waving his sabre above his
head, 4 have not yet began to fight" Rally oul
desponding friends in the South, with the battle
cry of his immortal answer, and when they talk
of our submission, tell them what they will find
to be true, that we have not yet began to fight.
Let US whit for the front to give way before VIC
in the rear begin to talk about defeat.

here, the supremacy of his ancient reign. But

here, the supremacy of his ancient reign. But
let the crusaders in the Temperance cause rejoice
in his discontinue. This has been we'll contest
ed battle field, and GOODNESS and bravery sustain
ed both parties but the stainless banner Of Tenn
perance now waves triumphantly over happy
people. We hope the students Of Ebenezcrville
will add still more to the high reputation of their
school, by enlisting under the victorious standard,
and in the first blush of manhood, devoting their
lives, and their constitutions unshattered by dis
sipation, to purity, sobriety and morality. This
is the only course to secure happy old age, the
blessings Of wel.trained and well-organized
mind, and an honorable and dignifed manhood.
We need have no fear, however, about the final
and complete success of the cause, while we have
such firm and determined leaders in the Temper
ance movement, as our BEATTY and ALLsTos, and
long catalogue of younger heroes, eager for the
conflict. The influence of the champions Of tenn
perance pervades thoroughly our village, so true
is it that the united efforts of few men can e1er-
else IN irresistible power for good. Ebenezerville
now, in addition to her other attractions, offers
the strong inducement of temperate community,
to those who relish quiet home and wish to avail
themselves of the advantages Of thorough aca.
demic education. 1867.

of thought or emotion, in conformity with metrl-
caand rhythmicallaws" The entire article sa Ia
bored effort to prove that CONFORMITY to metrical
andrlythmical aws"is the only distinctive feature
of poetry. If we would admit without dispute
that poetry and prose differed in the manner OF
constructon-the question-'what Is poetry -
would still remain unanswered. And can any
thing possibly be more vague and indefinite than
to call everything poetry that has rhyme or rhythm:
What would we think of the lcxicoglnpher who
would define elooucnce to be "thoughts or emo
tons" expressed either by rhythmical laws or in
loose prose style? And yet this would be quite
as definite MS the one we have of poetry. The
mistake, we opine, lies in confusion of terms
The word 'prose and poetry' are used in two SEN
ses. They are sometimes applied to the sense or
matter and sometimes to the style. With many,
poetry and rhyme are synonymous, while large
majority of critics and essayists apply the term
poetru to certain constituent elements which they
suppose must enter into every piece of rhyme be-
fore it can claim to be poem. johnson in his i'm
itation of the ballad, understood the difference
between rhyme and poetry, aud the entire force
of his rdcule hinges upon that fact. There has
doubtless been many vague and erroneous dehnl-
tions of poetry, but we don't remember any more
unsatisfactory than the one given in this article
"What is poetry?" remains insolved.
But we are only half way through with our
gossip, and must pass cnrrente calamo, over the
remaining articles 4 fen thoughts on Southern
Civilization, is n continuation from the last num-
ber more pretentious, than profound. My Neigh
boris Rooster-a description of the over sensitive
ness of the oricular nerves of q bachelor, who
came to his last end from the cock-a -doodle-doo
of gigantic shanghai. The Initials; or, My
Fathers Glosi-a tale founded on facts, has some
thing exciting and thrilling in it. Thoughts on
Coal, is quite readable article. The Editors
Table is rs usual gotten up with taste. We per-
ceive that the ENQUIRER is honored with notice.
We did not intend to accuse RUSSELL Of institu-
ting comparison between THAcKERAY and Bull
WEIR, nor did we do more than express our dec'ded
preference of the latter. Had we chosen to in
stitute such comparison, the good taste of our
Charleston friends the contrary Notwithstanding,
we could easily find precedents among the ablest
critics. If Miss BRoNTE, FoNDLANoUE and WHIP
PIE are the formidable personages who lead on
the admirers of THAcKERAY, and this is to be con-
sidcred conclusive evidence in favor of his merits;
by the same ad captandum logic we might prove
the justness,, of "odous comparisons" But we
neither deny the merits Of THAcKERAY nor the
injustice of indscriminate comparisons. 1t is the
undoubted talent by which the great satirist 'e1,
torts praise" that we do not love. This is all we
intended to express and so dismiss the subject

set the matter at rest. One of the estates, a.

case, the estate amounted to about $40 900, which
has been closed ut a cost less than $3.50. A full
administration would have cost the estate more
than S., ,000."

MODE OF SWEARING A JEw.-An insolvent, in
the insolvent Court in this county, protesting to
be of the Jewish faith, having presented himself
to take the oath prescribed by statute the counsel
of party interested raised question as to the
form in which it should be taken, and suggested
that the Hebrew custom, the party swearing
should ut the time have his hat on, his left hand
on his thigh, and his right on the Pentateuch. The
insolvent himself declared that he considered any
form of oath, held sufficiently by the courts, as
binding; but the learned judge, taking the ques-
ton in consideration, decided that if he took the
oath with his hat on and his hand upon the PEN
tateuch it would be sufficient. And it was accord
ingly done.--Boston Courier.

THE New TARIFF.-The importers of New York
are busy taking their goods out of bond under the
reduced tariff. The duties paid amount to ST.
100000 1t is q curious fact, as illustrative of
the habits of the people, that the first article taken
out was ardent spirits and the second Silks by an
importer who paid $780, 900 in duties on one in
voice. All the cheap liquors will be cheaper in
consequence of the reduced duties; but brandies,
it is said, will not be cheaper, but be improved in
quality, the adulteration being less.
