Business Prospects.

The fi,st Of September, the period to
which business men always look for a
revival of trade, did not open quite as
brisk as was anticipated, owing to various
depressing causes, not the least ofwhich
was the unusual prevalence of fcverS,
which however it is subject OF thanks
giving to say were not often fatal, ,and which
we trust now will sensibly subside. We
notice however with satisfaction favor
able change in business; with the return
ofour merchants from the distant markets
of Charleston, Baltimore and New York,
with large and elegant. stocks Of goods,
tradeis fast beginning to revive and we
confidently look forward to a lively fall
and winter business. We need scarcely
say that the facilities offered here are
numerous and satisfactory, and that there
is NJ reed of parties in want Of anything
in the line of merchandise or otherwise
going elsewhere to supply their wants,
as what cannot be had here from our
merchants, (and we know Of but little
that cannot be) can IT, yotained through
our commission and exchange merchants,
Mr.. G. T. Scott, Maj. W. F. Nance, and
Messrs. CarwiIe. & McCaughrin. These
gentlemen offer all Inducements and have
every facility to supply all known wants.
We hope the iact then will not be over
looked that this market is capable Of
'5affording all that is required, and that
! our people should not go elsewhere for
goods or accommodation when both can
be had at home, and when too their own
prosperity will be enhanced by it.

Advertising AGENCIES.

It is now something like thirty years
since tie establishment cfthe first AdTcr-
tis;ns Agency in this country. At that
time there were scarcely eight hundred
periodicals Of all descriptions printed in
TIE United States, while now tie number
will exceed four thousand. Advertisers
have increased and Agencies been cs;ab-
lished in every important city, and have
proved great assistance to the news
paper press.
It is estimated that at the present time
there are several hundred men who make
this their business, but of these no more
than twenty arc known to any consider
able extent, and by far the most impor-
tant are two or three well known firms in
New York city, among which the house
of Geo. P. Rowell & Co., No. 40 Park
Row, occupies in some respects the most
prominent position. Although not among
the oldest, this one, by the energy and
business ability which has characterized
it, has become the authorized agent Of
nearly every newspaper printed in the
English language in North America, and
the amount Of their transactions exceeds
the combined business of many of the
older but less enterprising establishments.
At their office may be found on file
newspapers from every section, from
Maine to California, and from their books
can be learned the rates for subscription
and advertising.
The distance Of advertisers from the
newspaper publishers, as general thing,
renders it difficult for the latter to be
correctly informed Of the financial reA-
ability of their customers, and therefore
they usually prefer to receive their favors
through some reliable advertising agency
which; in consideration ofthe commission
allowed assumes all risk Of payment, and
does away with the trouble and expense
of collecting individual accounts.
The house named in this article Is au-
thorized 10 contract for our paper at our
lowest rates, and We assure customers at
a distance that we prefer to receive
orders through them, rather than to
contract direct with parties who are un'
known to US, no matter how good or re-
snonSible they may be.

An IScEND1ARY AcT-Rev. |. J. New
berry, Of this District, living about six
miles from Timmonsyille, met with Sc
we're loss, on Friday night last, by the
burning of his new two.story dwelling
house, which was nearly ready for use.
Mr.. Newberry informs US that comfort
able home had long been the desire Of
the family, and that he spent much time
and all mis- available means to erect such
home as would prove a comfort and
blessing to his family; that after the fami-
lv had retired on the above night, and it
being late he had occasion 20 get up
whea everything seemed quiet, but that
his getting up had awakened his wife,
who remained awake, and soon heard
roaring noise, as she thought of the
night train on the Wilmington and Man
chester Railroad, some four miles distant;
that on opening the window she saw the
new building, which was some little dis
tance off, in light blaze, and on his
going there, it was too late to save any
thing, not even a piece Of lumber.

WHAT THE CLERK OF THE House THINKS
OF 1MPEACuMENT.-Mr. Edward McPher.
son, Clerk of the House of Representa-
tlves, arrived this morning, for the pur
pose of opening the bids for stationery
for the House. With regard to the po-
litical situation, he says it may do very
we'll to talk about impeachment before
the people, but he does not think it can
be accomplished, because there is too
much difference of opinion upon the sub
ject among members Of the Republican
ashington Telegram.

FACTS FOR CoLoRED FoLKs.-Therc has
been a comparatively large immigration
of Northern people to the Valley; they
have invested their money here, and
more are coming. They all wish to come
South, and prefer the Valley because the
number of colored people is so small in
proportion to the whites. The preju-
dice of the working white men North
against the negro is increasing, and he
is the man who will settle up the South.
He or his friends fought for free white
labor, and they won. The first question
a white immigrant from the North asks
is, "You amt bothered with the niggers
here, are you?' Finding we in the VAL
ley are not, he buys land and settles.
These facts should teach colored folks
something. They should study over
them, and make themselves the best
laborjng class in the world. They should
stick to their old friends, and avoid voting
and politics.-Valley Nirginian.

SIR This late meteor has caused con-
siderable talk, and several persons have
called on me to find out its mysterious
meaning, propheSied three years ago in
the indianapolis Daily journal, Of the
direful plague or pcStiience coming on
this earth. somewhat like the one Will
liam Lilly, of England foretold Of 1915
but as he foretold it would mark the
people black, which it did, and killed
nearly all who took it in the city of Lon
don, 1865.
This one forthcoming will spot on
whom it seizcs, purple black, and they
will fall aud die where they take it. The
time is very near. see from astrologi-
cal study, and as the planet Saturn rules
supremely this yer, he forbodes great
deal of mischief by being near the earth,
and ruling the signs, Leo, Scorpio, and
Caprice. In three years from hence this
nla rue will set in. Oh, the trouble no
man has ever seen. This is the great
tribnlation. Therapeutics of God fore

Dr. James P. Knight, of Laurensville,
South Carolina, died in Columbia on
Tuesday last. while on his way home
from Texas, where he had been for seve-
raj months preparing a home for his

passing through the Southern seaboard

this terrible disease mas been raging for

sponSible they may be.

EVERY MONTH, is the name OF an inter-
esting and modest little sheet, published
by S. r. Taylor, $40 Canal St., n. Y, in
behalf Of "the Church Of the Strangers,
presided over by DR.. Deems, of North
Carolina, a deeply pious, learned and
exemplary man.
The "Strangers Church" was instituted
by number of gentlemen ofvarious de-
nominations, in order to enable strangers
and brief sojourners in the great city OF
New York a special place of worship.
There are hundreds of people in New
York who have brief residence ard no
church connections; there are hundreds
of young men and old, coming to the
city on business, who need pastoral over
sight there are many who are sick at
hotels and boarding-houses and need a
tender and syupathizing minister. This
is the work to which the pastor of the
"Church OF the Strangers" devotes him
self.
1t does this good also. 1t furnishes a
place of worship for Christians of all
names, and thus promotes the cause of
Christ ian union vastly. Clergymen of
different denominations are invited to
preach, and sometimes FIVE or six churches
are represented at the Communion. Be-
lieving that just such thing as this is
necessary in New York, a number Of
benevolent gentlemen, among whom
are PreSbyterians, Southern MethodlSts,
Northern Mcthodists, EpiScopalians, Bap-
lists, &C., have rented the large chapel
of the University and called DR.. Deems,
a christian gentleman of rare scholarship
and elegant tastes, to preside over the
charge.

CoM1NG.-Our readers arc rot perhaps
aware, that is generally, that he is COM
ing. The vague rumorS ahoat sometime
since Of an aerial passage by balloon, and
other like stories, are new set at rest.
We have it on undiSputed authority-.a
reliable exchange paper-that his prepa
rations are all being made, and on the
most extensive scale, and that he will be
hcre-vhen he comes. We allude to Rob
inson, who is known to fame in his par
ticular line. Stand firm little boys and
Girls, he comes not to harm you. We
understand that he comes in magniti-
cent chariot drawn by ever so many
horses, and will kick up such a stir as
never has been seen before, and We don't
blame him either, for its the only way
he can effect his purpose. The more fuss
the better for him. One day and night
he will remain; we would rather he'd
net stay so long, or better that he come
not at ali, but if fate so DEGREES, so let it
be. The paper alluded to says: "that
the famous Jim Robinson, the world re-
nowned bareback rider, is now the pro
prietor of the finest and best circus show
ever seen, and will go down South this
winter" This is all.

Fever and Dysentery, being the principle; &;
the former yielding to anti-periodics,

SOME CorToN. Mr.. John Miller cxhib-
tied to Us yesterday a cotton plant with
one hundred and fOrty-scycn bolls there
on-twcnty seven on one branch. We
learn that he has handsome little field
luxuriating in tall cotton. He is consid-
erablc of a croppist. We do not know
if Matthias Miler'S wife's son John can
keep a hotel, but he can certainly run
the farming machine.
We regret to notice that the worm is
committing ravagcs Oh the plant. The
damage so far has been confined to the
leaf, and whether this will iWure the ma

hoped not. This is not general. We

S1cK.-Were you ever sick, bad sick?
We have been and know what it is, the
sickness of the ",wo hound puppies" of
whom every body has heard, falls short
of what we, the senior, the old Greneker,
passed through. 1t was terrible, and
has left US weaker than dishwater.
What with fevers, fancies, febrifugcs,
pains, potionS, powders, pills, plasters,
chills, hot bricks, bottles of hot water,
bottles of hot brandy, blankets, rubs,
scrubs, &c., we feel that there is scarce
any thing left of US, never much at best
physically, we have been physiced down
to the little end of nothing. For three
weeks now we have done nothing, scarce
ly knew what was going on, but now we
are out once more and will assume our
working harness piece by piece, as strength
is gained, until the whole fits snug again,
and we are able to do full days work
without putting on sub. In that three
weeks interval the junior has sustained
the whole weight of responsibility and
care, and has we believe left nothing un-
done to please our many patrons.
With returning health we are pleased
to notice the return of many old sub
scribers who having the change to spare
have again sent in their names with the
cash for the Herald, besides the coming
in of new ones from far and near, to all
of whom We are much obliged. May the
future for all of US be prosperous and
happy.

The Power OF LITTLEs.- Balti.
more American says that the Catholic
Church now approaching completion in
that city-an attractive and imposing
structure, which will seat 5000 persons
comfortably-was built by weekly contri-
buttons from members of the congrega-
ton cf twenty-five cents each!
Is not this an implied rebukc to Prot
estant Congregations, many of whose
members grumble at the small amount
asked Of them to aid in the support of
the Pastor who each Sabbath instructs
them in their peculiar faith? a practical
evidence Of their belief would be well
shown by a prompt payment of their pro-
portion of the amount necessary to sup
port the one who ministers to them in
holy things" We think it is St. Paul
who says that those who preach the Cos
pei should live by the Gospel. Accord
ing to our Interpretation, this means that
those who expect spiritual food each Sab
bath from their Pastor should take good
care to supply him not only with tempo
raj food, but with all cther nccessaries
for himself and family for the other six
days of the week.--Savannah Advertiser.
