The Fatal Picnic Party--Account of
an Eye-VTitness.

A person who was present at the terrible
catastrophe which occurred at Boyiin's Mill,
near Camden, South Carolina, on the fifth in
slant, the particulars of which we have pub
lished, communicates the following in reference
to the disaster, to the Charleston Courier OF
May 9:
"All went well till five o'clock in the after,
noon, Mr. Alexander and few others went of
few hundred yards, and about sixty of the
gay light-hearted young people stepped into a
large fiat, and taking their violins aud guitars
along, pushed some fifty yards from the shore.
The fat ran on a snag that penetrated its bot
tom. The affrighted girls ran to one end. 1t
sank, and sixty human beings were struggling
in the water, A panic seized them all
Strong men, good swimmers, ladies and chill
dren, all lost their presence of mind. The
shrieks of those on shore aud the one loud
scream of those on the fat called persons from
every direction.
MIR. Alexander plunged in and rescued
four ladies. Feeling q body under hs feet, he
pulled it up. 1t proved to be his daughter
Minnie Every means were resorted to for
her recuscitation, but it was too late. She
was dead.
GO what q time we had yesterday! Such
hurry for graves and such hard work to OBJ
tain coffius-twenty-six in all. Few persons
slept on Saturday night. The cars went down
for the bodies. Many citizens went down on
them. The pond was drained. Ten bodies
! were taken to the Methodist Church at four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon The bodies were
conveyed thither IN three long wagons. II
was heart-rending sight.
Fifteen Young persons, from fifteen to
twenty yerrs of age, were drowned. There are
several funerals to take place to-day. 1t is a
day of fasting at the Methodist church, and
the Council has decreed that all business should
be suspended.

The nomination Of Lincoln at Chicago is a

Lincoln actually represents a far moredangerous

party is avowed to be, retrenchment in all sorts

an organization, no one will question this is
called a free country. There are however few
plain common sense maxims that have been
applicable in all past times, and will continue
to be in time to come Men are never known
to be more honest, more economical and more
wise, in taking care of the interests Of the peo-
pie in the capacity of Office holders than in taking
care and managing their own affairs, as private
citizens. Now if the leaders in this new move
ment, have in time past exhibited any superiority
of business intelligence-a more honest regard
to the rights Of neighbors-a more earnest inter
est in the welfare of the city, than the parties
who have been in power, then there would bC
good reason for delivering over the keeping Of
the city affairs into their hands. Ifhowever, up
on investigation it is seen, that the leaders ofthis
movement do not furnish any evidence of supe.

A WORD to City Republicans

There are few things, which may as well be
said plainly. Republicans profess to believe that
they have within their own ranks, men of sufi-
Gent talent, honesty, business integrity and
qualification, to fill the offices of trust and re-
sponsibility. They have accordingly nominated
a full ticket of city and ward officers. Now it is
said we have some protested Republicans in our
ranks, who are unwilling to trust to men of their
own party in respect to measures ofpublc inter-
est they therefore seek to affiliate with men of
other parties-thus openly eyincing their distrust
and want of confidence, in the party to which
they profess to belong. man protesting to be
Republican. yet unwilling to trust the affairs o
the city in the hands OF Republicans; wha
consistency is that : We have reason to believe
that the enlightened sentiment of the Republican
party, viii properly estimate this sort of consis-
tency, and put it on the record.

Green House am Attracsjou

1t is quite probable that some of our citizens
are not aware that II. B. Hinsdale ESQ. has .
Green and Hot House in this city, which is .
decided attraction and which can but afford the
highest satisfaction to the visitor. Mr.. Hins dale
has been at much pains and expense, to procure
varieties Of the most rare Towering plants and
shrubbery; the floral regions of Asia, Africa and
South America, are represented by choice speci
mems in.his Green House. The flowers of the trop.
les may be seen here in the beauty and luxuriance
of their native cline.
We understand it to be the intention of Mr..
Hinsdale, to keep his Green House furnished
with the most select varieties of fowring plants
and he has been induced to this undertaking. NOT
SO much with the view of making it business
affair, as to encourage a taste for flowers and
shrubbery in the city and country. Besides the
mere attraction of flowers, and the pleasure deri.
we'd from their cultivation, they exercise genial
infiuencein refining the Imagination, and smooth
ing the rougher asperities of human nature
Every lady, who loves flowers, (Heayen pity
those that do noD should visit Mr.. Hinsdale;s

AYERS
Compound Extract of SarsapariIla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everv-
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPT1vE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
Rose, or ERYsIPELAs, P1MPLEs, PUsrULEs,
BLoTCHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, R1NGwoRM,
RHEUMATIsM, SYPHLITIo and MERCURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " imspavity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Temperance Lectures DIR. Jewett, the
noted Boston Temperance lecturer, addressed
the people of Kenosha, on Monday aud Tuesday
evenings last DR.. Jewett has been lecturing
nearly two months in this State under the aus
pices Of the Wisconsin Temperance League
The lectures in this city, were given in the Bap-
fist Church, which was crowded to its fullest
capacity each evening. 1t requires consider
able degree Of skill and talent to give interest to
the worn and hackneyed subject oftemperance ;
but we are confident no more entertaining or in
structive lectures have been heard here this win
ter than those just delivered by Dr. Jewett.-
His arguments against the use of intoxicating
liquors as beverage, were cogent and cOnvinc-
ing, based as they were upon the physiological
nature and functions of the human body. 1t is
hoped the DR.. may find it in his way to give us
another lecture before his departure for his home
in the East. Moreover, it seems to be nece ssa-
ry that temperance organization of some kind
should be formed in this city to give force and
direction to such efforts as these Inebriety is
apparently on the increase. The young and in.
experienced are becoming victims to drink
