How IT IS DoNEi-A, modern writer
says that all that M tcessary to spoil a
young lady is to make her believe she is
handSome-let her read nothing but
novels-learn to love dres "ac-
compliShments" so called, and carefully
eschew utilities educate herself TO be-
lieye it is vulgar to Labor, and never look
at those who do, or notice them in any
way under any conceivable circumstances.
We know many, male and female,
who have been brought to grief by follow
ing these simple directions.
| ONE of the Bishops of the N. E. Church
received, recently, a petition from a
church, which tells its own story in few
words, as follows: ''Our pastors term of
service will expire at the next session of
our conference. You will then make a
new appointment. Please send Us a
pastor who uses tobacco in no form.
Our pastor and presiding elder have spit
US and smoked US almost to death. We
cannot endure it any longer"
A country editor in Texas thus speaks
of his vexations: "Never have we been
so bothered as at present. We have lost
nearly our whole years supply of meat
our eye-sight is affected-dunned
daily for small debts-nobody to go to
the mill for bushel of meal-with a
thousand other things to annoy US. We
are willing to sacrifice all this, and more,
to give the public good paper, and hope
to meet with just reward"
| OUR RAIL RoAD.-We are Informed
that the work on our Rail Road is steadi,

to Boykins, nine miles from Camden on
Monday next. The whole of the Road
will be completed by the first Of June,

LOCAL ITEMS.

n. BARRE & SoN-It is gratifying to
see, have one Of the best selected stocks
of goods in the dry goods line, purchas-
ed for the spring trade, to be found any
where. The taste displayed in the selec-
ton of these goods, and the style in
hich many of the marked features are
exhibited, makes this store point of
attraction which it is impossible for tic
ladies to resist. and their sales are in
keeping with their studied efforts to
please. Every novelty of the season, be-
sides every indispensable necessity are to
be found there, and of such character
too as may be relied on. 1t is hardly ne
ceSsary to say-for most people are plea
surably aware Of the fact-that Capt.
McFall, the hero of tented fields, and
desperate charges, in the past, is the hero
here, and is now Battling for the amelio-
ration of-the condition Of heavens best
gift to man, battling for theimprovement
of the. ."form divine" at very moderate
charges; and the gratitude Of mankind
must be showered upon him for his com,
mendable efforts in the adornment OF
wives, daughters and sweethcarts. The
goods above alluded to were selected by
the Captain with AN eye to this great
need. If our word is not sufficient, we
beg for proof an examination by all in
tereSted.
We are pleased to know-too that this
firm has fallen into ranks under the -"no
memorandum system" for the future, and
that hereafter cash only will secure a
purchase. So good plan should be
generally adopted. - ~. ..

AT WORK. The Wilmington Dis
patch, of Friday, says:
We learn that the secret radical or
ganizations of this and other South
ern cities are sending out emissaries
to the rural districts, for the purpose
of inveigfrg the country negroes
into their lodges, and with q view to
spreading radical doctrines. We
would advise our country friends to
be on the lookout for these fellows,
and to warn the negroes within reach
of their influence of the demoralizing
results of such combinations. We
feel sure that, in the country, the
negroes know that their interests are
identical with those of their employ
ers, and, if properly contrived, will
repel oil attempts to array them into
position of hostility to their friends
The effects! of such proselyting must
be detrimental to the value of the
negroes as lnborers, and, therefore,
the utmost exertion should be put
forth to defeat the purposes of these
emiSsarieS

business, and it requires no reflection

every one registering who is entitled

with courage, fidelity to ourselves

RELIEF FOR SUMTER P1ANTERs. :

RELIEF FOR SUMTER PLANTERS,
Messrs. F. J. Moses, A. "A. Gilbert
and A. J. Moses, of Sumter District,
were appointed depntation. by a
public meeting, to wait ON General
Scott. on the subject of procuring
relief for the planters of that District.
They have published the following
card:
The undersigned, deputized by the
committee of seven, which was
created by the action of the public
meeting, held on the 9th ultimo,
proceeded to Charleston, on Friday
last, and held IN interview with Gen.
r. F.. Scott. on the following day,
with reference to advances ofsupplies
by Government for the relief of des-
titute planters of Sumter District.
1t is gratifying to us to say that
Gen. Scott evidenced marked ear
nestness and zeal in behalf of the
vital interests we represented, and
gave us assurances of his warm CO.
operation with us in whatever course
might be adopted, looking to relief.
Within aud of himself, he had no
power to issue the advances asked
for. Authority to do so must come
from Gen. Howard, which authority,
with proper representations of the
urgent necessities of the District, he
thought would be granted.
A communication was therefore ad-
dressed by us to Gen. Scott, setting
forth the condition of our District,
and asking for the issue to us, upon
liens of crops, or otherwise, of 1O,-
600 bushels of corn and rs, OOOpounds
Of bacon. This communication was
strongly endorsed by him, and by
him forwarded Immediately to Wash
ington. He also informed us that he
would visit Washington the present
week, and urge our application in
person.
We therefore feel cheered with the
hope that our mission, through the
active kindness of Gen. Scott, will
accomplish something for the assist
ance of our struggling country.

For THE FRONTIERS. The Mont
gomery papers notice the departure
from that place of 200 recently en-
listed colored troops, for the far West,
whittier they so to serve against the
Indians. The Adreuiser says, in
connection with their departure:
A considerable number of freed
men assembled near the market house
yesterday, evidently for the purpose.
of discussing among themselves the
propriety and advantages of enlisting
in the service against the Indians:
One who seemed to be the leading
spirit of the meeting, and who was
Familiarity nccosted as Jenkins, was
unalterably opposed to raising q war
with such barbarous and unmerciful
people, and such good shots MS the
Indians; they could knock the cap
out of five cent piece 400 yards
he had seen one of them do it; if
tame one could shoot that well, why,
these wild ones, that are raising fuss
IN the Northwest, could kill q man
half q mile; and besides all this.
when they catch q prisoner, they
don't treat him like other Govern
ments, but they cut his ears off, and
poke his eyes out with a pegging-
awl. His listeners seemed to be not
o little affected at his recital oNaSez
horrible doings Of the Indians.

Ohio is doing a heavy business in
the hanging line. It is a startling
fact, but one that will not be denied
by parties having regard to truth,
that in oil those parts where radi-
calism is in the ascendant crimes of
the most appalling grade are fear
fully on the increase. Such, how
ever, is but the history of radicalism
in ali countries where it has flour
