some disease, called the sore or Black Ton

the ,oat field, that others thought different
" from the fact that some cattle We're at
and that they thought il was from the grass

yes, and that persons would no: cat the
beef. had not Hoard of any disease a.
mong the cattle, ! thought when the en-
quiry was made, it was Il quiz. seeing no
beef on the table. Since then have heard
several persons speaking abont the same
disease and that it prevails in several por-
tions Of the State.
The cars are full Of persons travelling
to the mountain region. At Newberry
Coils. Fair and Reed, at Cokesbury Col
Perrin, the President Of the road, and at
Bolton, Judge Whitner came aboard. T,ey
were going up To Greenville to attend a
meeting OF the directors Of the Road. At
Cokesbury we had large acccs sion Of per

Der I was truly delighted to meet with DR..
Wardlaw and his wife, whom had not
seen for some time. | intend paying them
visit after remaining here for n few days
Among the passengers were the Thespian
Corps Of Abbeville, who performed here
last evening and are also 10 entertain us TO
night. They are an Amateur club Of young
gentlemen from Abbeville Village, who
have associated for tho purpose Of improve
ment and the entertainment Of their friends
and the community in which they reside
The performance was highly or, iitable, the
characters well sustained, and many Of the
actors ould have commanded applause in
the Chestnut Street or Broadway Theaters.
Col. Orr was also a passenger from
Cokestury TO Belton. the junction Of the
Anderson Branch, he is looking remarkably
well, appears to be in fine health and ex.
cellent spirits, not the least faiigned by the
nrduous duties Of speaker # the Hou Nc Of
Representatives, which he has performed
with remarkable success, and with general
satisfaction to the members. Knowing how
badly the old Representative chamber was
constructed n to sound and ventilation, ]
inquired of him as TO the new Hall, and
was gratifcd to learn that il WAS a perfect
triumph as TO both.
At Columbia met with Rev. Mr. Brown,
the presiding elder of our circuit, who with
his family was Unexpectedly called to
Cokesbury, in consequence Of the illness

day she was better, but her recovery IL re.
garded MS very doubtful. Rev. Mr.. Is. was
complaining Of being worried, having been
engaged good portion Of the night be.
fore in fighting mosquitoes ut some point
on the Wilmington e. Manchester Road,
where he had stopped and tried TO sleep.
There is an abundance Of choies peaches 10
he had on the ears md at most of the De.
pots along the Road. gave Sammey a
few dimes, which he soon invested in that
way, with hearty good will and appel ite.
The gusto with which no went into the
peaches, reminded mo &c the man who
bought his saddle bags full Of oranges in
Mobile.
On the arrival Of the cars at this place

dorse me TO the manager, which he did with
success. "LONG GRABS"
