A STEAMER BURNT.

The last arrivals from Europe bring us con'
fused and almost unintelligible statement Of the
burning of steamship, in mid-ocean, and the
destruction of near six hundred lives From tbe
fact that she is now overdue, and must have beer
near the point where the wreck was found, it il
supposed that it was the steamer Austria, from
Hamburg, with six hundred souls on board. Tht
following, from Halifax, dated Sept. 25th, is thf
most satisfactory account yet received:-
Capt. Shaw, of the bark Arabian, which arrived
this morning reports that at seven o'clock on the
morning of the 18th inst, he fell in with an ror
screw steamer on fire, apparently of l2OO tons
She had gilt crown eagle head and straight
stern head, raked we'll forward, and her bottom
had red paint on.
Her upper works were destroyed, and the wood
work above and below was all consumed. Hell
masts were gone and her sides were falling in.--
The funnel was lying on the starboard siae' pn
its color could not be told.
The Arabian passed round the stern OF the
steamer, but no name was distingulshaole. She
is supposed to have been burningforty eight hours
The Arabian sighted brig four miles to leeward
Could not descry boats or signs OF sufferers IN the
distance
Dispatches to private parties in this city corrob
crate the above. The description given makes II
almost certain that the burning vessel waS eth er
the Austria or the Alps, while the statement as to
the figure head would seem to show that the fer
mer is the i.fated steamer, that ofthe Alps being
merely scroll.head, while the Austria's was az
Austrian eagle.

shore are being shipped from Plymouth, for Val

arrival, for the ordinary wire, which, however
we'll adapted for undsturbed depths, is totally in
adequate to resist liability to accident upon The
rocky coast.
The Liverpool Post says that electrical expert

In April, 1867, Rev. Mr.. MILLEN offered Be-
ries of resolutions on the subject Of Temperance
which were postponed for future action. They
were called up at this session, and the sub]olnea
'bill of rights substituted by Rev. E. E. boYoi'
of our District. To the credit of the Associate
Reform Church, they were promptly adopted anu
now constitute quite an important, as we'll as cree
liable, item in their system Of discipline. lms

sition, as body, in the noble work of the temper

wondered at it. But they arc now on the trail

"Whereas the unguarded and indiscrlmlnate

practiced, is productive of evil, IN the way Oh in

Resolved, l. We regard our sessions as invested
with power to inquire into the conduct OF ner OIT
members in reference to this matter ana IN a.!
cases where they furnish spirits indiscrlmlnately
at home, or send them abroad to curse other com
munties, they may be dealt with as onenSels, n

WELL DONE!

Tuesday evening, the young ladies Of the Female
College responded to the call of humanity, and
contributed $50 in aid of the Howard Association,
Charleston. This was well done! and the lesson
it teaches ought surely to suggest some, albeit
very remote, conception Of the claims of humani'
ty upon the residents of our town. We notice by
the Courier that Yorkville has thus far contribu
ted SO! Let us reverse the order of things now,
and endeavcr to learn something from schoolgirls

to be done! We have $40 on subscription which
will be forwarded Immediately.
Contributions may be forwarded to WILLIAM

THE FAIR.

Col. GAGE publishes, this week, the announce
ment of the approaching Fair of the State Agri'
cultural Society, in Columbia, in November next
1t promises to be unusually brilliant, and deserves
to be thought of and talked of and worked for by
every class of our people.
York District has heretofore had comparatively
meagrc share in these exhibitions; and that too,
without reason. The spirit Of agricultural pro-
gress is alive amongst us; we have as good, and
as wide. awake farmers as any District may boast
our mechanics are, many Of them, skilfull and
ambitious; our ladies can certainly exhibit speci'
mems of handiwork which would honor them and
the District; and, in fine, every department of in
dustry amongst US might claim place in the ex-
hibition of South Carolina products.
We hope our friends will be aroused to their
duty and their interest in this matter. Send on
your articles, of whatever kind. The Rail Roads
convey them free of charge, and charge you but
one fare See the advertisement.

next Spring. The installation Of Rev. JOHN Hun
TER, pastor at Sardis, will take place on the I'd
Monday in January. A call was presented from
Steel Creek for Rev. J. C. CHALMERS; referred to
the second Presbytery. A memorial from H.
KIRKPATRICK and others, of sardis, was received,
requesting the opinion Of the PreSby'ery in refer
ence to a man marrying the widow OF his deceased
brother. in.law. The Presbytery replied, that such
marriage was not condemned, in their Judgment
by the Bible law. Apetition for the organization
Of o church In statesville was granted.
