thus described by the Troy Times:
Stretched Al full length on little pal
let OF straw lay the dead body OF the Oh
man. Hs had been dead apparently more
than a week, and from the manner In
which bank notes, bonds, deeds and bank
books were lying upon the f1or about
him, 1t was evident the beggar aud
miser had died Ia q struggle counting
his boarded wealth. 10 his bony fugers
he held bank book showing a deposit
of $500 In banks at North Adams and
Pittfeld, while two $50 bills served az
pillow for bis head, and deeds OF prop
erty In Pittsheld and government bonds
to considerable amount were lying up
on the floor beside him. The scene
could not have been more dramatic If
presented upon the.stage. The CHASTITY,
repulsiye features, the tattered habit OF
the miser, and the wealth for which he
bartered his soul, lying around, formed .
picture which not even the mimic scenes
OF the stage could rival Ia intense dra-
matte force. 1t exceeded anything the
Imagination almost can conceive. But
as II in mockery OF the life he led, the
money left by the old wretch secured him
decent burial, aad he went down to
the grave attired more respectable than
ne had ever known when alive. Kind
hands, forgetful OF the past, laid him
tenderl y away in the tomb, there to
sleep In oblivion until the last grea,
trump shall sound, and he shall then
learn whether the treasures of earth are
counted among the treasures of heaven

FOR EDGEFIELD DISTRICT, FALL
TERM 1857.
To his Honor Me Presiding Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas and General SeS-
sions, Fall Term 1867.
The Commissioners of Roads and Bridges for
Edgefsld District, beg leave respectfully to re-
port, That at tho termination of the late war, the
Roads and Bridges were all left IN o deplorable
condition (many of them i:npassable) and the
different Battalion Boards were in q disorganized
state, owing to the fact that many Of them were
ordered in the army of the State Militia, which
required some considerable time aft6r the surren-
der 10 become fully organised. We we're without
q single cent of funds in; the Treasury until.the
first Of August last, Qs66.) On the first Monday
in January 1865 the General Board failed to have
q meeting, not having quorum present; but on
tho first Monday in February tho General Board
met at Edgefeld G. H., ct which it was ascer-
tanned that ut least Thirteen Thousand (sI3,000)
Dollars would be necessary to robuild and repair
the Bridges in the District. And from the best
information we could get, we supposed that the
General Tax of the District would amount to
about Forty thousand dollars. We therefore as
sessed tax of Thirty-fYe per cent upon the
amount of General Tax, to raise the required
amount, but that assessment fell far short of ras-
ing tie amount required, which your Honor will
perceive by the Report Of tho Treasurer of the
General Board, and the Treasurer of the six Bat
TALON Boards accompanying this Report. All Of
which is respectfully submitted.

A Very Happy and Important Event.


The arrival of the frst band Of German 1mmi-
grants upon the shores of South Carolina. On
Thursday last, the ship Gauss" with So passen-
gors, landed at Charleston. We are most happy
to know that immigration from Europe to our
State has fairly commenced in, considerable VOL
ume, and under quito favorable auspices. And
now if the people of South Carolina will begin in
time, many Of them can perfect arrangements for
procuring Immigration and white labor for the
coming year. We have urged these things ever
since tho close Of the war. Among the proparn-
tions that our people .ald make to receive these
honest and reliable German immigrants arc tho
following The land should abound in provisions; /;
bread and meat should be plenty, at reasonable
prices the most liberal arrangements should be
made for letting immigrants have homes; the
land should be sold at reasonable prices; time
should be given where it is needed. And the
building of cheap but comfortable houses ON tho
lands intended for immigrants would be another
very great inducemsnt- Supplying immigrants
with tools, teams, and provisions for the first year,
on easy terms, would bo another.
Let US begin in earnest, and with broad aud en-
lightcned views and hundreds of thousands will
be added to our population, much strength to our
labor, and millions to our wealth, within two yOars
from this date.

the ladies as usual on such occasions, being
represented in strong force. A detail of po-
lice under Sergeant Folk was present, to as
sist the sexton in carrying out the arrange

of the mass were over, which were of most
impressive character, accompanied as they
were by vocal and instrumental music of
high order, and after short but appropriate
exhortation by the celebrated Father Ma
guire, the parties were made man and wife,
the bride being given away by her brother.

cities by General A. P. Howe, of the Freed

ings, lands and material, formerly belonging
to the Confederate States, aud confscated at
the close of the war. The only property of
this description in South Carolina is at Ham
burg, aad is nothing more than some old dis
tilleries and other buildings. At Augusta,
however, the sale will be an important one
as General Howe will dispose of the Augusta
Powder Mills. These mills were built for the
Confederate Government, under tue direction
of European mechanics, and were fitted with
the newest and most complete machinery.
Altogether, they were considered to be the
finest Powder Mills in the United States.
They will now be sold to the highest bidders.
