s.MAsY FRIENDS" have announced my name as

voters of the District generally, that should make
@ response to the announcement AT the close of
my last canvass 1 stated publicly that 1 did not
expect to be again a candidate, and my purpose
remained unshaken until December last, when my
situation was in many respects greatly changed
owing to my misfortune which is known to the
District.

PROPRIETORS,
JAMES D. NANCE,
EDITOR

Ncwberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandise. The
CONSERVATISM therefore, furnishes one OF the
best mediums in the State for advertisers SO lar US
Newberry District is concerned, while 1t enjoys
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements certainly rs
reasonable as those of any other journal i'll the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con-
tribuors gentlemen of the first talent and soundes
political faith With their assistance, the editor
will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and fre-side
companion.
The political character aasacer Of the paper.s of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy of the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation
States" have been the only suferers--that the
Union Of these States is no longer policy founded
on the principles of right and justice, but that the
bond Of Union is "the cohesive power of public
plumber the proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be Southern Extremist than
appear on unconditional advocate of the Union at
any price.
TERMS.--The paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the fol-
lowing reasonable rates of subscriptions
One copy, per year, $500
Three copies 300
Five copies. 500
Ten copies, 1900
Twenty copes 20oo
ray- The money upon these terms always to be
paid i'll advance.
No paper will be discontinued until NIL arrcarages
are paid, and no paper mailed until the cubscrip-
ton price is received; unless at the option Of the
proprieors when the circumstances call for a dit,
ferent course.
All business communications should be addressed
to the Conservatist, Newberry S. c." Commu-
nications intended for publication should be ad-
dressed to the Editor Of the Conservatist."

VIRGINIA LEGIsLATURE-ExTRA SEs-
sIoN.--Gov. Letchcr, of Virginia, has de-
ter,nincd to convene the Legislature OF,
that State on the 4th Of January next.
The iminediiate occasion for this an
nouneement is nothing more than the ar
rangement of the affairs of the James
River and Kanawha Company.
Nevertheless, says the Richmond En-
quirer, it is possible that the Legislature,
onsassembling, will find even moreserious
work to do-to which the following eX-
tract from Gov. Letchers inaugural mes
sage of January last, may furnish sug-
gestive clue:
1.-The, ,irrepressible conflict doctrine, an
nounced and advocated by the ablest and
most distinguished leader of the Republi-
can party, is an open declaration of war
against the institution of African slavery
wherever it exists, and would be disloy-
alt Virginia and the South, if did not
declare that the election of such man,
entertaining such sentiments and advoca-
ting such doctrines, ought to be resisted
by the slaveholding States. The idea of
permitting such man TO have the con-
roland direction of the army and navy
of the United States, and the appoint
ment of high judicial and executive otfi-
ccrs, postmasters included, cannot be en-
tertained5 by the South for moment"

vice Regent for South Carolina.

We noticed in our previous number the
appointment of Mrs. Mary Chestnut as
Vice Regent for South Carolina. Since
then, some few facts in reference to this
venerable and interesting lady have come
toour knowledge, which will, we doubt
not, interest our readers.
Mrs. Chestnut was the daughter of Col.
John Cox, of the Quarter Masters De-
partmept in the Revolutionary Army,
and of Miss Bees, Owe are not positive
that we spell it correctly of New York.
For some years previous to the Revolu-
ton, Col. Cox was merchant residing in
Philadelphia About the time of the war,
he removed to a beautiful country-seat
on the Delaware, near Trenton, called
Bloomsbury; but his health falling, in
1890 he returned to Philadelphia, where
he died in 1898. He was always esteem
ed as patriot and man Of integrity and
courage; he was friend of Gen. Wash
ington's, and in habit of frequent social
intercourse with him. Although for six
ty-three years a resident Of South Carroll
an. Mrs Chesnut's carly life was passed
a, h6f fathers conntry-seat OF Bloomsbu-
ay: and it was while residing there, that
3Le incident occurred to which we have
before referred, of her being one Of those
who welcomed General Washington at
Trenton Bridge. Col Cox's removal to
Philadelphia took place during the ses-
sion of the first Congress; and Mrs.
Chestnut, then Miss Cox, was in the habit
of attending Mrs. Washington's drawing
room receptions, and always on those oc
casions having few words with General
Washington himself She speaks OF hav-
ing met him, for the last time, at a COM
plimenta,y ball given him on his birthday
in 1856. 1t. is singular and touching
coincidence, which has thus made this
venerable lady the connecting link be-
tween the past ndthe present, and placed
her as one of that band of patriotic wo-
men who.are endeavoring to perpetuate
the memory of their country's Father in
the hearts of the American people, and
onepresiding over aState which is remark
able for the heroism Of it's revolutionary
women, who carried their patriotism so
far,that:when the British held possession
of Charleston they clad themselves in
mourning !-Mount Vernon Record.

Prosperous Indications.

From the Winone Rep publican.
Day after day our delightful winter in
creases the evidences of the prosperous
condition of our farmers in Southern Min
nesota. From sunrise until the 'gloaming"
our thoroughfares are thronged with laden
wagons from the rural districts-some of
them from points at the Great South Bend
of the Minnesota river; from Blue Earth,
Rice, Steele, and all the intervening
counties.
Wheat, oats, and corn--hogs, hides, and
hay--beet, barley, and potatoes, and all the
products of our fertile land, are steadily
pouring into our storehouses, in one un-
broken stream.
Many capitalists are now turning their
attention to Minnesota as wool growing
State, and one which offers the greatest
inducements for that branch of farming, of
any other region in the Union. In another
year, our wool exports will constitute an
important item in our trade. Already
there are many settlers who are turning
their lands into sheep farms, and we have
the opinion of experienced men, that as a
country adapted to wool growing and sheep
farming, Minnesota, if equalled, cannot be
surpassed.

THE WEEKLY p1oNEER] AND DEMOCRAT

Mr.. Washburne, Of Me. suggested that
Mr.. Pennington should move the previous
question.
Mr.. Leak contended that the resolution
was only read for information.
MIR. Stanton suggested that Mr.. Leak
could not make his point of order until Mr..
Pennington yielded the floor.
Several gentlemen rapidly discussed the
point OF order, for and against Mr.. Pen.
nington's right to move for vote on the
resolution.
Mr.. Winslow suggested that there should
be time for reflection, and moved to adjourn.
Mr.: Pennington wanted to know whether
he had not the right to call for the previous
question on his resolution.
The clerk replied, that the point of order
raised by Mr.. Leak must first be settled.
Mr.. Leak contended that Mr.. Penning-
tons resolution was read only for informa-
ton, and could not be acted upon until
three other propositions pending were dis.
posed OF. One of these of similar purport
having been offered by Beau Hickman.
Laughter. Mr.. Hickman at a subsequent
period suggested that this discussion could
do no good and said it was evident that
there could be no vote on Mr.. Pennington's
resolution or on any other, for gentlemen
could raise points of order and discuss them
indefinitely. Regarding the subject in this
light and having the declaration from the
Democratic side, that no vote shall be taken
on the plurality rule, he moved to adjourn.
1t was no use to stay here till later hour.
Mr.. Leak said he had no personal unkind-
ness towards Mr.. Hickman, and withdrew
the term in connection with that gentleman's
name. He did not mean to compare that
gentleman with Beau Hickman, who was
a Virginian and whig, while the gentle.
man is Pennsylvania and Democrat.
There was much confusion during the
discussion incidental to point of orders, Mr..
GOosch wanted to read resolution to which
there could be no objection. 1t was that
the clerk be requested to cause the several
motions now pending to be printed and dis
tributed amongst the members. No ques-
ton.
The House then adjourned till Monday.

WAITING FOR FLOWING TINE. - Our
friends in the country must not expect to see
their Representatives and Senators at home
until blowing time. As specimen of their
rapid work, we may state that the Cover
nors Message, which was delivered on the
End inst, was not referred to the Committees
until the l4th; and that the rules for the
government of either branch have not yet
been printed. The House, on Monday,
voted to hold an evening session, and in an
hour after, abrogated it by adjourning until
the next morning. We understand that
some of the members make no secret of
their intention to hold on until the first of
April. We hope to hear voice from the
country on the subject.
