st. Johns day, on the 23d inst.
In relation to the revival in the
Baptist Church at Anderson G. H.,
the appeal says the church has been
nightly thronged with anxious listen-
ers, and quite number have joined
the church. On last Sabbath even
ing, an immense congregation assem-
bled on the banks of Rocky River,
one and one-half miles from the vii
lage, to witness the administration of
the ordinance of baptism to the
young converts. The scene was truly
imposing, and the most perfect order
prevailed in the vast assembly. Most
of the persons baptized were young
ladies. The meeting still continues
during this week.
ORANGEBURG.-The Times says
The work of building new stores still
goes on bravely. Carpenters find
plenty of occupation, and our town
can show more new houses and great
er Improvements than any place of
its size and population in the State
EDGEF1ELD.-The 4Adcer1isey an
nounces the death of Captain James
Tillman, brother of the State Senator
from that District.
There is to be n public meeting
held at the Ridge on the 21st inst,

priety of annulling the stay law.
NEwBEREY.-The Herald has the
following items:
A perfect deluge of rain fell on last
Saturday, and again on Sunday there
was another shower; this will throw
farmers into the grass. A short ride
into the country last Saturday reveals
on unfavorable condition on some
fields near the road-sides. We no.
ticed corn with which the grass was
striving for the mastery, while cotton
for the most part was only tolerable
Where grass grew strongest it was
said that the crop was being worked
on shares, the proprietor to get a
third, or fourth, or half, as the case
might be. The prospect i'll these
cases look to short division. Some
fields of corn looked promisingly
fine.
Three suspicious individuals were
arrested by our townsmen, DIR. S.
Pope and Mr.. Charles Pope, Sunday
night, on Mrs. O'Neall's plantation.
Their names are J. G.. McCune, John
Rodgers and William Wallace-all
young men, We learn that Mr.. S.
Kinard received letter from Savan-
nah, some time back, describing the
three, and warning parties to be on
the look out.
MARION. The Star is informed that
the store-room of Mr. A. B. Henna-
gan, about eighteen miles North of
Marion, was broken open a few nights

recently, and cut off the cars of his
horse
SUMTER. IEdchma4 learns
that the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad Company has succeeded in
negotiating q loan of $4,000, 900. 1t
also says that the prospects of cotton
in that region never have been, at
this season, more unpromising. Some
of our largest planters have even yet
been unable to obtain stand, and
where tolerable stands have been OBJ
tanned, the young weed presents a
weak and sickly appearance, having
been much injured by the unusually
nnpropitious seasons, and is generally
badly in the grass.
Gen. Butler, who is candidate for
Congressional honor from Massachu-
setts, is sorely puzzled to know in
what district his chances ere most
favorable. His residence is in the 7th
but his "barn" is in the 9th, and by
transferring his legal domicile from
one to the other, he can take advan-
tage of either "stragetic' point in the
situation.
