THE FENTANs.

Tho army Of the Irish republic has not entirely
disbanded yet. They seem to have been rein
forced at Buffalo, and it is thought that there will
yet be some trouble. Government orders have
been received eountermanding the return Of the
neutral troops in view of the last news.
The Canadians are greatly frightened at the re-
cent action of the House of Representatives in
regard to the neutrality laws, and were in state
of excitement respecting pitched battle to which
the Fenian General Burns has challenged the Bri-
tish Colonel Lowery.
Malone is entirely deserted by the Fenians.
They have abandoned the expedition and returned
to their homes generally.
A row took place among party of Fenians on
the Hudson River Railroad, on Wednesday night.
They helped themselves freely from the milk cans
on the train and afterwards obtained drinks at the
bar of the Trivoli Hotel without paying. Twomen,
it is alleged, were thrown from the train, one of
whom is believed to have been fatally injured.
Nothing of Importance transpired in this city
yesterday, relative to Fenian movements. The
officers who have returned from the front were in
session during the day, proposing plans for their
future action; it appeared to be the determination
to renew their attack at no distant day.-Nsl0

ANOTHER CHANGE OF GARRISON.

We have to chronicle another exchange Of troops
in the conduct of this important e? military post
The 18th Maine or rather two companies of that
Regiment, on duty here for the past six or eight
weeks, have been relieved and ordered to Charles
ton to be mustered out of service. We learn that
Co. a." 9th Regular Infantry, has supplied the
vacancy thus created.
In taking leave of the late garrison, simple
Justice demands that we should make known the
favorable opinion entertained by our citizens gen.
erally for their propriety and good behaviour
during their sojourn amongst us. With rare ex-
ceptions, they were excellently behaved and
eyinced the strictes regard for discipline and good
conduct Having served faithfully in the army,
the 18th Maine did not choose to obliterate their
deeds of valor by unnecessary tyranny and op-
nression over their recent foes. And as one who
dearly loved the cause of the South, we take pleas
ure in adding our testimony to the sodierly bear
inc of these men while quartered in this commu-
n;tv. The officer commanding, Brevt. Brig. Gen.
B. B. MURRAY, was known to few of our citizens
we believe, but by that few respected as an officer
intent on performing his duty, and nothing more
IF fitvi be any satisfaction to members OF the 10th
Maine, they may rest assured that the citizens Of
Anderson would prefer them always, whenever
garrison is deemed necessary at this point.
The present garrison is bivouacked near the
University building, VIC understand.
The detachment of cavalry, from the Fifth Regu-
lars, has also been relieved.

THE HOT SUPPER

Given by the ladies of the Methodist congrega-
ton on Thursday evening last, proved an eminent
success. The spacious Hall was well-flled with
anxious purchasers who left their money in goodly
sums with the fair saleswomen. The evening was
altogether pleasant entertainment, and the ladies
were handsomely rewarded for their untiring Ia
bors in preparing tho feast. We learn that the
nett proceeds of the supper amount to 1925, or
upwards. This liberality and generous donation
on the part Of citizens and strangers will enable
our Methodist friends to embellsh and adorn their
house of worship in becoming style. Their success
is worthy of congratulaion.

Enr The LnteZLinencer.

Mr.. EDITOR Having noticed an article in the
editorial columns of your last paper, under the
head of Debating Society" the object of which,
understand to be, the organization of Debating
Society in this village, I feel confident that the
suggestion is highly approved and sanctioned by
all lovers of researching argument, general infor-
nation and elocution. 1t has been through similar
societies that many of the great men of history
first revealed to the world their genius and talent,
and it is possible that we may have in our midst,
talent of the first order and genius, which other
wise might remain forever obscure and neglected.
We suggest that meeting be held in the Court
House on Wednesday evening next, 9th inst, at
eight o'clock, for the purpose of organizing and
establishing this society. All who feel interested
are desired to be present. ClCERO.

HUMANITY OF THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU

HUMANITY OF THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU |!
Beverly Nash formerly the "POsts witness"
against General Hampton, and who afterwards
confounded his Radical believers by coming out
with the truth in thesmatter of the burning of Col
umbia) turns up again in the Steedman-Fullsr-
ton report on the condition of the negroes in
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida Beverly, it
will be remembered, is a negro, and he appears to
make great use of his ability to read and write.
Thus it appears from the report that General Ely,
who has charge of the Freedmen's Bureau in South
Carolina, and who ''works' plantations on his OWN
account, packed twenty negroes, men, women
and children, suffering from smallpox, and un-
provided with the most ordinary necessities, into
one room twenty by twenty-four in size, causing
much suffering among them from neglect. Beverly
thereupon took to his pen, ink and paper and
wrote complaining letter upon this subject, which
was published in O Charleston paper devoted to
the interests of the negroes But as Ely did not
like this streason in the camp" and preferred not
to have such letters written about his course, he
upbraided the too candid Beverly, and tried to in
duce the negroes in his district to get up meeting
and to ssresolve that he was all right. This,
however, they refused to do, and this was the
pretty mess that General Steedman stumbled upon
in Columbia.-Nes0 York Ne,os

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON June 16-The Senate was not in
session, and nothing of interest occurred IN the
House-the time being taken up with unimportant
political speeches.
W. W. Seaton, for many years editor of the In
sslAgeacer and ex-Mayor Of the city, died to-day,

WASHINGTON, June 16.-In the Senate, Mr.. Har-
ris presented petition of seven New York banks,
asking an extension of time on the tax on circula-
tion; which was referred to the Finance Commit
tee. The President, in response to resolution of
the Senate, transmitted communication from the
soting Secretary of the Interior to that body, re-
specting the transactions for colonization, trans
portation, &c., of negroes. The report was made
March Z, 1884, showing that upwards of $4,000
had been expended; which was augmented by q
supplemental report to S37,S9l. The report fur
ther says the Act of 1862, under which this was
done, was subsequently repealed, and no other
measure of similar character has since been
passed by Congress.
In the House, Mr.. Stevens offered joint reso-
luton, proposed IN amendment to the Constitution,
giving Congress the power to lay an export duty
on cotton; he refused to allow debate, and pressed
the measure to vote, hoping to get it passed by
two-thirds vote The resolution was rejected

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEwBERRY.

terrible and destructive fire occurred in the
town of Ncwberry on Monday morning last, about
3 o'clock, o. H., consuming about twenty-five
houses in the business portion of the village. The
stores of Messrs B. Duncan, W. F. Pratt, ]. II.
Rutledge Bro, Marshall & Bro, r. B. Holman
& Co.. A. NJ. Wicker, Buist & Ward Lovelace &
Wheeler, T. Gouin, P. S. Jacobs, S. Montgomery,
C. w. Montgomery, Capt. Boyce and John Nesley,
Drs. W. B. MeKellar and ]. Z. Daprays Dentist
offices, the old Newberry Hotel, in which was Gen.
Klnard's store, and the dwelling houses of Capt
Isaac Davis, DR.. R. S. Whaley, Mrs. DR.. Thomp-
son and S. Montgomery, were all destroyed by the
fire. Also, the Office of the Newberry Herald, and
we hear that our friends lost heavily, no doubt
they could save but little from the flames. The
it that some of the garrison, which left Newber1y
ON that morning, originated the fire, as they had
been heard to threaten such q calamity.
This almost total destruction of the business
portion of our sister town will entail much dis
tress and inconvenience and the sufferers have our
entire sympathy in their misfortunes. We trust
that, if the rumor is well founded that soldiers
were concerned in the incendiarism, the fact may
come to light and the perpetrators of this black
ened infamy be brought to punishment. The
torch of the incendary and the knife of the assas-
sin are equally infamous, and it behooyes every
lover of good order to ferret out the one as the
other In this connection, it will hardly be out
of place to suggest that there is small security
against like calamity in this community, and we
trust that the occasion will be improved by an
earnest effort to organize an efficient Fire Com
pany in this village Who will make the first
move in this direction

OUR SECOND VOLUME.

The present issue begins the second volume Of
the Itclgencer, series, and as it is customary,
we embrace the occasion to have brief chat with
our numerous readers. Under the most unfayora-
bic circumstances, when the people were disheart-
ened and tho country in most deplorabe condition,
just one year ago the Inteligencer was sent forth
to buffet the minds of adversely and breast the
storm of dire mlsfortnnes. With on earnest pur
pose to subserve the best interests of the District
and State, we buckled on the armor of journalist
in lieu of the sword which had been freshly laid
away; and though there were many trials and
difficulties to encounter, the severity of the one
nor magnitude of the other did not deter us from
pursuing that course which was dictated by man.
lness, prudence and patriotism. Those who have
followed our editorial career during the past
twelve months Gun best decide with what fidelity
we have executed the self-imposed trust of "sen-
tinel upon the watchtower." But this much wo
are bound to declare, that all our efforts have met
with warm encouragement, and to-day the Intettt-
qencer is established upon sound and safe basis
for the future. At no time during our long con-
nection with the press, have we been moro en-
couraged to work with and for the people, and it
shall be our honest purpose to requite that apprc-
citation of the public with the very best endcavors
of mind and heart. None Gun more truthfully af
firm their Indebtedness to generous public than
we, and it would be base ingratitude and shameful
recreancy on our part were this acknowledgment
withheld on the present occasion.
From time to time, new improvements and styles
are introduced into these columns, and it is in
tcntion to supply many more, as We progress
Whatever may be necessary to the conduct of o
irst-class newspaper will be procured, and the
reader may feel satisfied that, instead of retro
grading, our motto shall be to press onward in the
path of intelligence, virtue and truth. Without
distinctly foreshadowing our intentions, the
patrons of the Intelgcncer may expect that during
the present year additional evidence will be given
that we are determined to merit continuance of
their favor and encouragement by the introduc-
ton of new and more attractive features of journ-
alism.
With this outlining of the past, present and
future, we make our best bow before the commu-
nifty and District, trusting that brighter omens may
vet hang over them, and that the misfortunes and
calamities of by-gone days may be obscured by
prosperity and happiness in times to come.

THINGS UNBEcoMING AT CHURCH.

]. To see person laughing and talking in time
of preaching.
O. To stand outside the church and talk in loud
tone while services are being held.
8. To chew tobacco and spit upon the floor when
spittoons are in reach.
a. To get up from your seat and go out with
out sufficient cause, when the minister is deliver
ing his sermon.
s. To rush out of the church after bencdiction.
we have seen so much of the above of late, at
revivals, that we could not refrain from giving
them publicity-hoping that those who have been
accustomed to these ill-bred habits will abstain
from them. 1t is as easy to do right as wrong.
