son,of Virginia, on tour in Scotland, recent
ly visited Abbotsford, Dryburg and Melrose, and
gives US a most interesting letter about those
places-places forever linked with the name and
fame of Sir Walter Scott. Since we have read the
most of Scotts works, everything associated with
his name interests US, and We are obliged to the
writer for the paragraph devoted to Abbotsford,,
The home of Sir Walter. Abbotsford is what Scott
termed it, go romance in stone and lime" The
writer says: "It is the inside, with its memories
and traces of the great Wizard of the North, that
is the grand attraction of the place. Passing
through basement hall, we went up to his study,
q room consecrated to genius, for in it ne wrote
many of the works that have conferred on MIN
such renown. 1t remains just as he left 1t. There
stands his writing table and chair, where ne USED
to write large portion of novel before his guests
left their rooms in the morning. Adjoining this
is closet in which are the last suit of clothes ne
wore, lust as he laid them off, white beaver hat,
white and black plaid trowsers, and dark coat,
shoes CATERS, &c. The library is
spacious and beautiful room, looking out on the
Tweed, and contains 10000 volumes, elegantly
bound. 1t has case of curious relics, among
which are green and gold portfolio and pen case'
and golden cloak-clasps, taken from Napoleons
carriage after the battle Of Waterloo, with the N:
elegantly worked on both cases. the signet ring
of Mary, Queen of Scotts; various relics Of Rob
Roy, Flora Mcdonald, Charles II, the Pretender,
and others of lesser name from Robert, the Bruce,
down to Tom Purdie, Scott's famous forester.
silver urn, presented to him by Byron, and several
pictures, are also there. The armory
has q number of curious weapons 1t has the
guns that Tom Purdic and Sir Walter used, just
as they left them; Rob Roy's gun, with his ini-
tials carved on it; the pistols of Napoleon; those
of Burns James I. hunting flask, with many old
weapons very curious, and others very costly
One cannot but feel that there is something hal
lowed in these memorials of one who has done so
much to cast the spell of genius around his native
land and few visitors will not tread these silent,
but speaking chambers, with thoughtful reverence,
as they think of the mighty dead" How we ear
nesty desire to tread the halls Of him, who has 80
charmingly women together SO many throng'nS
fancies and tales of the oden time.

FACTS THAT NEED NO ARGUMENT.

The following paragraph, which we find in the
last issue of the Carolina partGn, speaks IN trum-
pet tones The truth now comes home. Proper
tty is being sacrificed on the auction block. More
than that The widows of our brave soldiers, who
sleep in nameless graves on Southern bettlefelds,
have been thrust from home, and their household
coods-ther all, been knocked down for paltry
sum, while the poor women, weeping with their
children, have stood among the sympathizing
crowd implored in vain for the relief from the law
which made them beggars.
The Camden Journal comes to US with the same
sad story. 1t says that the property sold on sale
day went at low prices, and argues that if the
small amount offered could not find purchasers at
half its cash value, what would be the state of
things if half the property in the community were
suddenly put to sale.
REAL EsrATE.-The following lots and tracts Of
land we're sold on Salesday last by the Sheriff:
13O acres $50; 7I acres S25; 1876 acres Sis;
800 acres S6O6; 176 acres S235. All the above
land was thin:
We call the attention of the people to the above
extracts, in proof of what wap predicted on Mon
day last if suits for collection Of debts are brought
and forced public sales of property made. This is
but the commencement Of q most gloomy and de-
plorable end.

sTATuTE OF LIMITATIONS,

Col. F. F. MARLEY, member of the Legislature
from Darlington, in speech on saleday, declared,
upon the best authority, that the majority of the
Judges of the State are satisfied that the Statute OF
Limitations was efectually barred during the con-
tinuance of the Stay Law, and there was no viola
tion of the Constitution thereby. This will relieve
the minds of our people from much anxiety, says
the Southerner, and we may add that many persons
will divest themselves of this deusve hope to avoid
the settlement of their just indebtedness.

QUICK SALES AND SMALL PROFITS.

This is an excellent motto for business men
profitable alike for customer and merchant, and we
are always attracted to the man holding out these
inducements. He is sure to succeed, and IN Ut
tanning success, confers innumerable favors upon
others. Of such worthy PRACTICES the new firm
of Towers & BURRIss are likely to become addict
ed, and we employ this occasion to give an un-
qualified recommendation to the same. We have
tried them, and unhesitatingly pronounce their
acts in accordance with their professions. Go and
see. They charge nothing for showing, and will
take pleasure in exhibiting their goods to all.

MAKE YoUR WILL.

On last Saleday, a tract of land was sold in this
District, by order of the Court of Equity The
land brought one hundred and three dollars, and
the cost of suit was one hundred and seventeen
dollars. This is rather an expensive mode of par
titioning an estate, and We advise all men to dis
pose of their estates by will, and save their lega-
tees such expense and trouble.

not positive, but thinks this was before
the murder. Henry was drinking the remark
was inconsistent with his general good character
as servant; does not think he would have been
disrespectful to witness when sober; he was deci-
dedly quiet and peaceable, and not violent in his
conduct and manner.
JOHN W. BRooKs: Have been confined in jail
since the 18th day of last February. The accused
was in next cell to witness, before being carried to
Columbia, and had conversation with witness
upon the subject of his guilt First, Yankee
guard told accused in hearing of witness to make
confession that he told ali about it in the Court
room, and might as well tell it again. Counsel
for prisoner objected to the introduction of this
confession, but the Court overruled the objection
Henry said that himself and Dan went into the
country; came across hog; fired upon ii, and
second time killed it; young Geer then rode up,
and asked them whose hog it was; made them turn
over the hog, and said it was his father's asked
them why they shot the hog, and they said "for
fun" Geer told them to put the hog before him
on the horse, which they did. Dan then said,
ave might get into some difficulty about this
scrape;" to which Henry replied, eff you jerk
him off the horse, I'll shoot him." Dan said,
"Agreed" They followed and overlook him, and
Dan ierked him off Henry aimed to shoot him in
the head but the pistol fired and the ball went in
to the ground. After missing him, Henry turned
with the pistol and struck him on the head few
licks, and when they left him, he was past speak
ing. Henry told witness this statement several
times. Cross-eramined.-There was guard pres
ent each time he revealed the statement but after
the first occasion, the guard said nothing-took
no part in the conversation.
The Solicitor here closed the evidence for the
prosecution.
The accused had no evidence to offer, and the
case was fully argued before the jury. Gen. HAS
KELL made an earnest effort on behalf of the pris
oner. Solicitor REED replied with his usual zeal
and ability, and Gen. MCGOWAN closed the argu-
ment. We are unable to report the speeches, and
will not attempt it. We noticed, however, several
points in the last speech worthy of mention. Gen.
MCGOWAN told the jury that the prisoner at the
bar was as much entitled as any one to the priYi-

sarily mortal.
SOLOMON M. GEER, brother Of deceased: Went
TO fathers at o'clock, night of the murder, and
found deceased insensible. Made search next
morning; saw tracks, and that evening found
piece Of pistol cock, broken off, about 10 feet from
where deceased was lying when discovered. Saw
signs near by where ball had been discharged in
the ground. Gave pistol cook to MIR. ]. B. McGee.
oss-eramined--No gunshot wound on person OF
deceased. Some appearance of scufie about 50
yards from where the broken hammer was found.
JOSEPH B. MCGEE: Solomon Geer or n K. Sui
liyan gave witness broken cock of pistol; show
ed it to jury of inquest; brought it to Mr. Daniel
Hurlburt, and showed it to him then kept it in
iron safe. Sometime afterwards took the cock in
his possession, and carried it to Hurlburts found
there pistol broken, and fitted this piece to it.
Brought the pistol and broken piece to his office,
and kept both until they were turned over TO the
military authorities. Cross-eramined. - Thinks
there can be no doubt that this identical piece had
been on the pistol before.
DANIEL HURLBunT, gunsmith: McGee brought
piece OF MANNER CO HItueoo, Ahu 1Squooe0u AiA w
notice for pistol broken in this manner. Kept
the piece of hammer until negro boy Scott brought
barrel, mountings and lock, everything but the
stock of pistol for repair. This pistol suited
the piece exactly, and witness informed MCGEE Of
tho fact Capt. Barrows, of the First Me. Bait,
then took possession of the pistol and piece
s-sraminsd.-Have no knowledge of any effort
being made to recover these things from the mill
tary.
JOHN R. COCHRAN: Assisted in the arrest of
Scott, (mentioned in the testimony of Hurlburt; y
also BiU another freedman, who lived with the
accused, Henry, and afterwards arrested the accu-
sed. Scott vas released upon information that was
satisfactory. Found butt and stock Of pistol, (un
