Dot Running.-On Wednesday, the
gates in the buik-head of the race way
being closed, the whole race was emp.
tied of water, preparatory to the filling
OF the break caused by the late freslet,
as well as the clearing out of obstruc-
tons. SO we have no mills running
this week; and the stoppage may last
for eight or ten days. The Starch Fac
tory folks are taking advantage of this
circumstance to dig away the bank
and sink their own bulkhcad. We
miss very much the sound of whizzing
saws, and rumbling stones, and buzz
zing machinery, as well as the bell
strokes, which are wont to greet us
through the busy week. May they
soon be heard again. The Factories
and Mill operations are the life of Ce-
tlar Falls. s,gsi a.sgJ rssssa4 ~

Accident.---On Monday last, Fred
Neffier, q carpenter at work on the
Starch Factory, had hod full of six
teen or eighteen bricks dumped upon
his head from fourteen feet above, by
reason of the tipping up of plank.
Ho was of course crushed down insen-
sible, and it-was supposed that his skull
was fractured. But after little he
came to, and was taken home, where
he has been doing we'll. Though his
head was much battered, he will soon
be smart and at work again. A tough
customer that. The best Of it is, that
he wouldn't touch drop of whiskcy,
though urged to, through the whole.

THREE WORDS ONE.

There are three lessons l would write
Three words as with a burning pen
In tracingS of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put then the shadow from thy brow
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven
The claims disport, the tempests mirth-
Know this God rules the host of heavens,
The inhabitants of earth
Have Love and not alone for one,
But man, as man. thy brother call
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy SOUL
Hope, Faith and Love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges cease to roll,
Light where thou else were blind.

A Pleasant Ruinor.


Our kilograms, published yesterday
morning, brought us the rnmor that
Judge Advocate Holt wonld probably
be removed from Office. His com
plicity in the conspiracy to take way
the life of Jefferson Davis, as shown
by his correspondence with members
of the gang, forwarding them money,
&c, is enough to shut him out from
all respectable society, much less to
eject him from any Office Of honor OF
trust under the Government. This
report, if true, with that previously
concerning the transfer of Secretary
Stanton, would be universally ap-
proved by the people, and would in
crease, if possible, the confidence they
now have in their honest and patriotic
Chief Magistrate. His true policy is
to fill ali offices in his gift, not only
with the supporters Of his policy, but
a also with virtuous, honest and pure
men from among them, and thus re-
store the Government, not only in its
unity. but in the faithful administra-
tion Of its affairs.

There is nanoh needed reborn in
the management ana mntsriaIs of our
Housharn railroads. ~ has been the.
case heretofore, thas too little atten-:!
ton has been given to the comfort Of.
passengers, by this mode Of convey.
anoe; the apparent object having
been to make as much money as pos
sible, and the traveller never failed to
note this difference when he changed
cars and entered those OF Northern
lines - +.tIS
These remarks are suggested by the
following extracts, from q letter to
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel,
from Gen. a. r.. Wright, one of its
editors, who. by the way, speaks well
of the management of the Charleston
road. The General says:
The elegant sleeping cars which
| are nov run from Atlanta to Whining
ton, are q new feature in railroad
| travelling in the South. Passengers
are furnished with state-rooms, sup.
piled with clean beds and linen,
large mirrors, and nice marble wash
stand, towels, &C., which enable one
to keep clean and comfortable, despite
the dust and cinders. The easy,
rocking motion of the cars really
tscradles" one to sleep, and insures
a glorious nights repose. There is
really little fatigue experienced now in
a trip of several days. No one should
think OF coming North without
securing through ticket On these
splendid sleeping cars" They are
SO constructed that, during the day,
the berths are folded up and the car
thus becomes delightful day car.
The Wilmington and Manchester
road is in very good condition, and
makes good rarely missing a
connection either way.
The Wilmington and Weld on road
is in most excellent condition. Here
they have splendid new passenger
cars, and everything is as clean and
neat as new pin. They make
better time on this road than any I
have passed over, and the conductors
here, as on the South Carolina road,
are old-fashioned attentive and nc
commolatlnG gentlemen

do not forget that it costs something

after all this, few are. this. .thauks that the
printers get. Give the printer fair pay,
and give mp all expectation of gratnitous

man, Daniel Webster. was mighty near
right when he remarked OF the press:

The THEOLOGICAL SEsuNARY.-Rey. DR..
Howe, speaking OF the financial condition
Of the Theological Seminary, in :this city,
says that tho present market value, of its
erdowments is estimated at $4,000, and
that the ultimate value will probably be
s1o5, ,ooO 1t has, in addition, its valuable
library and buildings. We congratulate
the Church that the finances of the Semi
nary are in the condition thus represented,
and that it's valuable library and spacious
buildings were spared on that terrible
night in February, 1865. This institution
has been one of the most useful within the
jurisdiction of the Church, and has fur
nished aAMy bright and shining lights to
her ministry. Its faculty is not surpassed
by that Cf any institut ion of learning in
the country, and we trust the day is not
3istsnt when its halls will u again be crowded
with students. 1t deserves the earnest
support OF the membership OF the Presby-
tcrian Church throughout the whole South.
