~ hension in regard to the require

We now wish it to be distinctly under
stood that all persons owning or having
1.-THE control OF any property coming
|within the list prescribed by law, are
required to make returns Of said pro-
|perty, and be taxed accordingly except
heads of families owning less than Five
Hundred Dollars worth. 81
Those who have not, been previously
notified, can make their returns to us at
THE places we have yet to visit, accord
ing to the old schedule. or when we re-
visit the Precincts of the county.

From tho Memphis Avalanche.
The Boys with the Blue Cockade.

ny SALLIE ADA REEDY.
The South is our beautiful mother, and now
= While womanhood fits like II gem in her crest.
The winds of tide North shall not visit her brow
Or wither flower that blooms on her breast
Her sons they are brave, aud her daughters are
dear,
And loyal the swords at her feet now laid;
And 'twcre as thing born to know fear,
Are the hearts of the boys with the blue cookade
The South is our home; on each hearth is fame
That was lit while our mothers were meekly at
prayer;
And he who would qucnch it, must daringly aim
His blow Mt the hearts who have kinded il there
The stranger who crosses threshold must come
In faith that Southerner never betrayed,
For the South, the beautiful South is our home
And her pride is the boys with the blue cockade.
We've kindled her altars, and still to the end
With hand clasped in hand we will stand by her
fires,
AS brothers united to guard and defend,
The beautiful land where We buried our sircs.
No stranger insolent foeman shall tread
Der the.grayes where the dust of our heroes is
laid,
Our mothers and daughters-our living and dead
Well trust to the boys with the blue cockade

South Carolina Conference

The following is the report of the Com
mittce appointed on {" the state of the coun-
try"
The committee appointed to consider the
duty of the Conference in reference to the in
terests of the Church in connection with the
present condition of the country, beg leave to
report, that we recommend to the Conference
the adoption of the following resolutions:
Resolved, l. That the South Carolina Con-
ference, while they feel that dhe great work
of the christian ministry demands, and should
ever receive, their faithful and devoted attcn
tion, and should forever absolve them from
any active participation in the strifcs of the
political arena, nevertheless can never forget
the high allegiance which they owe to the
claims of their country, the land of their
birth
2. That while we dcplorc the necessity that
exists for separation from the Federal
Union, yet in view of all the history of the
past, the perils of the present, and the threat
cned wrongs of the future, we feel bound by
honor and duty to move in harmony with the
South. in resisting Northern domination
3. That as faithful sons of the South, aud
with the State with whose destiny we arc
identified, we shall ever pray for the guidance
and blessing of the God of providence and
grace, who has so long exercised his gracious
protection over the homes of our fathers
and that this Conference tender to the State
of South Carolina, their cncouragements,
their sympathics, their affections, thci. inter
cessions with heaven in her behalf, their all,
subject on'y to the paramount claims of God
upon them.

NEWLY distilled spirits, of the commonest
kind, often contains salts of copper, of lead
or of tin, derived from the condeuscrs, in
which the vapors are reduced to fluid form.
The quantity Of copper salt contained in the
bulk usually taken as a draught, is sufficient
to produce the minor effects of metallic poi
soning; the cumulative character of these
poisons may even lead to fatal consequences:

ENTHUSIASM IN RELIGION need
more of it, hundred fold more than we have
Enthusiasm in science, in trade, in politics,
we have plenty of; and Ill that is done by
enthusiastic men.
Tl'o word needs to be guarded, but the
pruucnt reader knows that enthusiasm is not
fana 'icism. The gmndcst subject of the soul
ought to fill it with intense emotion 1t shall
profit man nothing, to gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul /; and if We praise him
who pursucs business with so much industry
and tact as to gain million before he dies,
shall we not much more admire the onthusi-
asm of him who gains heaven?
The world is to be saved. We ought to be
in earnest about saving it. Our friends,
children, neighbors, the heathen, and the per,
ishing, we can do something to save them
If they were ona ship wrecked off shore, or
in burning house, we would be enthusiastic
to deliver them from death. May we not be
enthusiastic in delivering them from hell?
The apostles were enthusiastic The Sa-
viour himself was filled with zeal. All the
best men, who have been mighty in pulling
down error, orbuilding up truth, have been
enthusiastic. God grant that the Church
may rise, and shake herself from the dust
1t is time to be up and doing. Let us work
while it is day.
