sorrow for the loss Of him 10 whom Gen.

babe six months old, was crying Justify,
and the usual appliances seemed to have
no effect. 1t still cried, and the mother

1t is reported by leading Radical
that Gov. Brownlow, having secured his
election for the term of two years, and
knowing that there is no probability Of
his being able to serve in any public
capacity after the expiration of his guber-
material term, will in his next message
to the State Legislature take a decided
ground in favor of universal amnesty
and universal suffrage, without recon-
struction, or with no other restriction
than the ability to read and write.

The Selma Times says: GA certain
young gentleman cmissary, from Yam.
keedom, passed through the County of
Anson short time since, vending tick
cts or certificates to the negroes, which
he told them would entitle each holder
to forty acres of land. He sold a large
number to the negroes along his route at
fifty cents each. The negroes, however,
becoming assured that they had been
swindled, pursued the scoundrel, over
took him, madsehim refund the money
with an additional fifty cents in each
case, and then draw his shirt, when they
proceeded to administer severe aogging
upon his back. This done, they allowed
him to 60 on his way rejoicing.

e ANOTHER GATHERING. - On Monday
last an immense gathering of freedmen
took place, in this town, in honor Of the
Radical champion, and hirc]ing emissary,
W. J.. Armstrong. T. j. Robertson, of
Columbia, accompanied him to share in
his surreptitious glory. How the freed
men became informed Of the approach Of
these worthless, can only be inferred by
surmising that an underground commit
nication is at work, or that charged with
political birthstone, as the DEVILS own,
the gale of Friday night blew their scent
in advance of them: Suffice it the ga.
thering was large, too large for the freed
mans interest or that of the farm. True
to their proclivities, and the party repre-
sented, they approached from the rear,
came in at the back door, and without
knocking or warning of approach; and
after discharging their filthy, reptile
spawn, slipped off as they came, like
thieves in the night, never once showing
their faces in town, or giving any one an
opportunity Of answering or rebutting
their falsehoods. An intense admiration
prevailed on the part of the concourse, and
which burst into three lusty cheers for the
former, and two for the latter, when a
free and hearty absolution for all past
sins was extended. together with the
promise of safe Translation into the re-
gions beyond, set apart for the faithful
Republican defuncts, if firm adherence be
given that party. The whole talk, We
are informed, was tissue of falsehoods,
vituperation, and 'incendiary advices,
which we rejoice at not having heard.

shower of rain, we saw magnificent rain-
bow; it must have described an arc of 80
degrees. -, =. :. -. -
Again on Thursday morning last, between
the hours of three and four, early risers
could have witnessed that rare and beautiful
phenomenou-a lunar rainbow. The moon
was grandly descending the corridors of the
western sky, and in the east the rainbow ap-
peared through gentle shower of mist.
And on Friday night two huge and angry
rain clouds, scuddiug rapidly from opposite
points, collided and burst over our imme>
diate section,' pouring out such shower in
q few minutes as to astonish even the old
est inhabitant. Miniature rivers and ra-
vines appeared on every hand as if by en-.
chantment, and about three and. .a>half in
ches of water fen during the evening.
: FANCY BALL.-The festivities gotten up

knights of the tournament, who erewhie
had displayed dexterous skill with lance
and spur, had dismounted, and appeared on
foot, with their queens Of beauty and love,
to take part in the merry mazes of the dance.
Several distinguished civilians were present.
1t was apparently a bright andhappy throng,
in which Abbeviile, Laurens, Edgefeld and
Charleston were represented. The gentle~
men were ,eayalier>like and courtly; the
ladies-many of them-were beautiful
while some were ideals of ioreliness. -Tmper-
sonations Of beauty, grace and intelligence;
embodiments Of love; there were sylphs and
sybils, and elm fairies, and las a gallant

icieus, petit angcls!" The characters as>
suned were generally ,creditably and well
sustained Whether we have grown rusty,
and have forgotten the various changes in
costume which began with the evening full

the "Black Crook, or that we forgot our
