60, Eairest Summer, stay,"

After cold and wintI.y rain, lasting day and
night, we have glorious fall weather. The sky is
bright and blue, and the sun warm and glisten-
ing. But cool shadows fall Mt eventide, and in
faded gardens tho last roses ore dying. Plain
tive mourning doves are coeing sadly to their
mates, telling of the dead summer they SO we'll
remember. Patriarch swallows have called their
locks together, and fed from frost and snow,
seeking summer lands and fairer blossoms. Very
soon the winds will whistle chill on field and plain:
and tho beautiful summor will be quite gone.
A sense of grief and loneliness comes with tho
falling leaf, and memory makes the summer
doubly pleasant. Theee falling leaves make q
man pause and ponder. Soon, the feyerish dream
of life will be ended. Let us try to SOC in our
autumn dreams, future summer, surprising the
fairest glo.ios of the present. Aud let us keep
watch and ward NTH diligence that our disem-
bodied spirits start not upon the broad journey
,ugs Of eternity without friendly guide, and
without calm and holy hope Of reaching the
shining goal of infinite and endless blessedness,

The undersigned, being about 10 return to his
home in Charleston, utter s"journ in this Village
of nearly four years, would taxa this opportunity
Of returning his grateful lharks to large pro-
portion of the citizens Of this village, and the
surrounding country, for their uuremitted kind
ness and good feelings to him, and every member
of his family, during their temporary residence
among them. And whilst tho 70, ults Of the past
cruel war have placed him in such situation as
to prevent him from ropaying them for their macy
flyors, yet he looks forward with hopo that the
time may yet arrive when ho may bo enabled to
show his gratitude in stronger form than wofdf.
They all have his best wishes. individually and
collectively for their future prosperity and hap.
pinosa. And should he Fever lie permitted To
hold social converse with them in this world, ho
prays that he nuy be permitted to meet them iu
that better world, where mono shall ever again be
troubled with wars or its evil consequences.

Our Railroads.

: On Thursday'last, 18th Oct, the South Carolina
Railroad mss opened to Hopkinss-a point some
twelve miles below Columbia.
Wehad hoped that ere this tho cars would have
been running through to the Capital Of the State
but in these unsettled times, when everything
has to be done under .reat disadvantages, we
must bs thankful for what has already been per-
formed.
At Hopkin.'s, the difficulty Of communicating
with the interior of the State will be vastly less
thsn at orangeburg indeed, .hc amount Of tsavel
10 bs done to roach either Winnsboro. the tornli-
nus of the Ch;sylette Raj road, Alssop, tho ter
minus Of the Greenville Road, will be hardly
over half. The quantity Of work still to be done
10 open our communications s considerable, but
with anything like suitable facilities it could soon
be overcome.
The present break in toe railroad is from Hop
kins's to Winnsboro distance of sbout37 miles;
and the same to reach tho Greenville Road. The
most important section, however, is the Augusta
branch of the South Carolina Rairoad-say from
Brsnchville to Johnson's Turnout, about Is miles
lsus-nhich is very LaEy broken up. When
these connections arc made, which vii! require
the rebuilding Of about 100 miles of Railronj,
and mhen the Santee bridge on the Northeastern
Roadis required, our Railroad connections in
South Carolina will be complete.

From tie Ne,o York Herald, 5th inst.
Trial of WirZ.

Some witnesses for the defence we're exam
iued before the Wirz court martial yesterday.
A German named Morsner, who was in the
Union army, taken prisoner. and sent to An
dersonville, testified that he was parolod and
placed in Wirzs Office as clerk. In this ca.
pacity he had never been required to do any
thing inconsistent with his allegiance to the
national government by Wir2, whom he had
not known to be guilty Of ehc erueltes to.
wards prisoners charged against him; but he
had known him TO do things for their comfort
and the alleviaton of their sufferings, and
had heard him express the wish that he was
able to do more.
George w. F. Reynolds, who testified that
he was taken prisoner while spy in the rh-
tiona service made some curious and very
interesting statements regarding life, manners
and customs in the Andersonville stockade.
According TO him it was much like compact
city. There were tbirty.three thousand pris-
oners, the pen was laid out in streets, and
most of the vocations known to urban life
were carried or within it. There were about
one thousand regular dealers, including bank.
ers, brokers, provision merchants, akers,
tailors, shoemakers, BARRIERS, jewellers, soup
jobbers, &C., who kept open shops and offices
and did thriving business. At these estab-
lishments could be bought, if one lad the
money, all tue necessaries and many of the
luxuries oflfe. The witness himself kept
q shop aud drove heavy trade. lie said
there were about half a million dollars in
greenbacks in the prison. The prisoners had
also among themselves regular judicial aud
police organizations, and at one. time Eve
disorderly characters among them, who had
been found guilty by q jury of their fellow
captives, were hung. He himself acted as
magistrate. He told many other wonderful
things of similar character relative to the
interior life of the prison. He had known
suffering among the men from exposure, but
could not say that he had Witnessed it from
hunger.
During the day there was another sharp
colloquy between members of the court and.
Wirz's counsel regarding the questioning of
witnesses and the management of the de.
fencc.

The North Carolina Convention.

The members of the North Carolina Con-
vention, whose movements during the first
four days Of the session appeared slow, on the
4th, went to work in earnest, and to some
purpose. They passed, by unanimous vote,
an ordinance declaring that the ordinance of
the Convention Of 1889, ratifying the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, and all legislative
acts ratifying amendments thereto, are now,
and have been ever since their enactment, in
full force and effect, notwithstanding the
"supposed ordnance of Secession, which, it
is further declared, is now, and has at all
times since its passage, been null and void.
This, in>effsct, is an official avowal that tho
State has never been out, of the Union. Gov.
ernor Holden communicates this intelligence
in a dispatch to the President, and adds that
the ordinance forever prohibiting slavery In
the State.will be disposed of to-day, and that
the State elections will be fixed fer the "a
of November. One ofthe Raleigh correspon
dents, in speaking Of the character and sea-
timeuts Of the mon who compose the Conyen
ton, says that tie majority of them are not
only strong Union men hut are, and were,
during the Rebellion, bitter anti-secessionis.s.

The Sudden advance in thegcld premium
is not due, as some assert, to the announce.
ment made by the Secretary of the Treasury,
relative to the funding Of the compound in.
terest legal tender notes, but rather to an in.
creased demand for export. On tho subject,
the New York Herald says:
While our imports range from five to near.
~ eight millions week in gold value, our
exports are at the rate Of three millions or
less per week in currency value, those for the
week just ended having been only s2,4lS,-
527. Nor is there any immediate prospect
of an increase in eur seaport trade, or q di-
minutiou in our imports. The prices of all
the leading breadstuaa and provisions range
higher in this market than at Liverpool, and
cotton hardly allows Of profitable shipment.
Moreover, we have no kuperabupdance as yet
offering at the seahoard. Under these cir.
cumstances, it is very evident that gold must
be exported to pay tho difference betSeen the
credit snd debit sides of our foreign accounts.
1t is true that the amount Of gold in the
banks of the city and the Treasury is largo,
the amount in the latter, on September So,
having been $l2, nc, 1888, after, as is to be in.
ferred, deducting $18, ,443, ,415 for the pay
ment Of the November coupons, and that the
banks hold more than thirteen ard-a-half
millions. But the amount elsewhere in the
country is small, the private boards having
been to great extent absorbed.

Emniren versus "Fanchon..,

This is paragraph exclusively for the ladies'
and for those decent and thoughtful men who arc
going to buy their wives new bonnetS A cor
respondent from New York writes to tho Consti-
tutisnalist thus:
The nea. and stylish Fanchon bonnet, which
has met with 50 much favor and had so decided n
run here, is going out with the season, and giving
place to new thing land You know, ladies "e~
things nre fashionable,) hut cenfounded ugly
thing, called the Empire. The Fanchon is light,
airy end handsome bonnet, without crown or eur
tain, an invention which necessity, the universal
mother of ouch affairs, got up for the proper dis
play Of tho waterfall. The Empire is a small bon
net, with large crown and narrow stiff curtain
dressed and trimmed with hoYers and feathers ;
ugly and antique, but neio /; and as novelty md
not beauty is the insanity of fashion, why New
York bon-tdn will be expected to 60 mad over
this hybrid of tho milliners. Tho Fanchon was
too simple. too easily made at home, to suit the
ariistis-henee the Empire. One good result,
however, from it's adoption: 1t dispaces that
abomination known as q waterfall.

fashion-a long and large one -heforo it fairly
reached EdgeGeld. tansntable But we assure
ycu, ladies, that the "Empire." Is not ugly. We

waterfalls Why upon earth should huge COM

covered With silken ne strung with glass beads,
be called roaterjaN' To oal SO bideous thing
by such a pretty name is satual blasphemy. We
are firm advocate for fashion, but we never

ty,of the United States. + LelevOihe tuoeess Of
that party is our only hope in r.coustructing the
Government with equal rights under the COnsti-
tn ion. Our lending men, in my opinion; commit
ted great blunder in breaking up the Democrat
ic party by withdrawing fran the Charleston
Convention in 1860, and I solemnly baiieve to-day
that if Judge Douglass, Gov. Breckenridge, or
Mr.. Bell had beer elected President in 1860, we
uld not have had the dOsolating war through
which we have just passed.
President Andrew Johnson, whom happen to
know personally, always belonged to the great
Dmcscra:ic party until he ran Vice President on
the ticket with Mr.. Lincoln; and now that Proyi-
denes has decreed, for wise purposes, that be
should hold the reins of Government in his OWE
hands, he will no doubt return to his first love,
and do ull he can for his orring children and
plant himself firmly upon the basis Of the Con.

Macmillan and MEXICO.

The latest news from Mexico shows beyond
doubt that the imperial Cause has Of late attained
a most successful condition. The soldiers Of
Marinilian bavs obtained repeated and decided
victories. cortinas has been beaten, Alvarez has
been beaten, Nsgrete has boen beaten. The en-
pire Of M,xilnilian may be scoffed at, and not
recognized, in certain portions Of the country,
but that prince certainly has it ip his power at
present to- fix his throne MS he plesscs.
Aud what is the social conditioned tho country
meantime? is overrun with guerrilla bands
and gangs of robbers. Courts marital are cen-
signing to tho gibbet scores of Mexican patriots
and hundreds Of MeHoan thieves. The express
sion Of opinion upon all public questions il sup
pressed by m litary power. fbe msrcennries Of
the Emperor, the French navy included, are COM
mitting frightful outrages upon NON -cambatauts
The town Of San Geronimo, and, twenty sugar
plantations adjoining, havo been destroyed, and
Tlacctalpau sacked by French sailors. The
Egyptian troops have burned tWo hundred and
forty houses at COcnto, and similar devastation
has been spread through pasaaothor Districts.
Such being the positionsoI lIzSIico undor the
present regime, it would Spossible that i'm
perialism, despite its present apparent security,
should become. q permanent institution in that
unhappy country. Tt would seem contrary to
the ordor of things that Maxinilian should es-
tablish himself at the hend of Mexican empire
contrary to the spirit of As country that inperi-
alism should be permitted to exist upon the Wes-
toru continent under foreign prince. Dutso it
is at present. The United States Government
has often declared its policy on the American
continent to be fixed and unslterable. What has
become of the Monroe Doctrine2 In our opin-
ion, it will be fully developed. in time-by force
of arms if necessary. When the hour strikes,
