SPRING IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-A corre-
spondent writes that the weather in South
Carolina is charming. He says:
"I have been in South Carolina for ten
DAYS past; and it has seemed more like
MAY than February. On last Thursday,
while snow was falling in the city of New
York, in Charleston it was by far the most
comfortable to walk on the shady side of
the street. This mild and beautiful weather
is imparting the freshness Of spring to
many of the trees, shrubs, and flowers.
The dark, dead tinge which the foliage OF
the pines, live oak, and other evergreens
assume in the winter is softening into a
lively green; the yard and garden shrubs
are leaing out, and many species are grow
ing and blooming in the open air that with
you are nurslings of the hot-house and
pets of the parlor. Japonicas, red and
white, single and double, may be seen in
full bloom on shrubs from eight. to ten
feet high in many yards. In contrast with
these rich and royal flowers are the blue
eyed violets, which cluster near the ground
in humble beauty-welcome to behold, for
in the northern home they are the early
harbingers of spring. Other flowers daily
see-some / cannot name, the others L
need not. | should, however, say that
peach trees are red with their early
bloom"

IN SEARCH OF HIS WIFE.-On Tuesday
a man from Wilmington, Delaware, made
application to the Marshal of Police in
Baltimore to assist him in recovering his
wife, who he said had left him and taken
up her residence in this city. 1t appeared
from his statement that she had left her
home some time ago, and he traced her to
Staunton, Va, and thence 10 Richmond,
where he found her. She declined to re-
turn to her home with him, but about six
months ago she came to this city and took
up her residence in Park street, when she
informed him by letter Of her whereabouts.
He visited her soon after, and again re-
turned to Wilmington without her. In
obedience to his request, on Tuesday night
the marshal, with several detectives, went
to the house on Park street and informed
her of the object Of their visit, and at first
she positively refused to accompany her
husband, but after good deal of per-
suasion, yielded, aud went to the marshaPs
office, where she remained during the
night, having positively refused to 60 with
her husband to hotel. They left yester-
day morning for Wilmington. The wife
is young and of rather prepossessing ap-
pearance, and the husband is said to
possess ample means to make her CON-

THE COUNTY COURT-HousE-ITs HISTORY,
&C.-This structure, now being fitted up,
will be ready for occupation by the April
term of the court. 1t is not, asmany seem
to suppose, very old building. When
the county Of Henrico was set up as Sc
parate shire, the courthouse was located
at Varina, the farm at present owned by
Mr.. A. NJ. Aiken, and so well known as
the designated point for the exchange Of
prisoners during the late war. The ses-
sions Of the court continued to be held
there until, during the revolutionary war,
Arnold, in his invasion of Virginia, de-
stroyed the house and nearly all the re-
cords. From that time until October,
1881, all record of the court is lost. The
earliest order book in the Office records
the above date under court composed of
Turner Southall, Nathaniel Wilkinson,
Miles Selden, Jr., and Thomas Prosser,
and the first order is one reciting that as
William White, the clerk, was suspected
of having been guilty of neglect of duty
in permitting the records to fall into the
hands Of the enemy, and for other misde-
meanors, he be suspended, and tempo
rary clerk be appointed until the charge
against said White be examined into.
This charge probably explains the rea-
son of the absence of the old records. The
county court was held in the house which
stood on Twenty-third street between
Main and Cary streets, and is remembered
by many of our old citizens. When it
was built the records of the court do not
show. Richmond having been made the
capital of the State several years before, 1t
is most likely that the courthouse had been
built, but not used, prior to 1881. In May,
1888, the court was held in the public
buildings (the old capitoD, which stood on
Fourteenth street. The reason for this is
not given, but it is supposed to be for the
purpose of repairing the courthouse, as a
little later in the same year we find that an
appropriation was made to build chimneys
to the jury-rooms. This building was used
by the court until about the year 1884 OF
1885, when the one now standing was built.
1t was removed from the street to the pre-
sent location, and was occupied by the
court until the disastrous fire Of the Sd oi
April, 1865, when it took fire from the
Confederate States storehouse on Cary
and Twenty-second streets, and the wood.
work of the building entirely con-
sumed. The walls, with the exception
of the one in the rear, were left standing
and the present fitting up, has been done
on them. The interior arrangements ol
the building have been altered but little
The elevated platform on which the court
sits has been narrowed little, and the
railing for the bar, witnesses, &c., has beer

The NEW GAS LIGHT.-We paid brief
visit last evening to the Petroleo- Calcium
Gas Light Works in our city, and must say
that we were surprised to see the volume
and brilliancy of the light produced by
this peculiar process of manufacturing
gas. The apparatus used is exceedingly
simple, and can be very readily attached
to ordinary gas works. We were told that
the cost Of making Petroleo- Calcium gas
is very considerably less than by the old
process; while of its purity and increased
Illuminating power we had the best evil
dence in the world-that of ocular
demonstration.
We learned that quite number of
parties concerned in the manufacture OF
gas in several of the larger cities have
visited our city for the purpose OF ex.
amining this invention with the view Of
adopting it if found to possess all that is
claimed for it; and this far, all who have
witnessed its operation have expressed
themselves as satisfied Herewith and with
the light produced. Wheeling Intelligencer.

Advice.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
MEHERRIN, March 20, 1867.
NY attention is drawn to an article in
yesterdays issue relative to the "negro
vote " of the South.
That Loyal Union Leagues exist in
many parts of the country is said to be
fact, and that every effort will be made
to concentrate the whole negro vote in op-
position to the johnson party no one will
for a. moment doubt, but the southern
Radicals cannot succeed except through
the blundering management and want OF
sagacity on the part of their opponents.
There are generally many difficulties in
the way Of the success OF any newly
organized party; and in view of the intel
ligence and influence possible to rally in
this instance, there can be no danger of
defeat from the negro party unless we
neglect our duty. That duty demands of
us, first, to accept the present situation as
unavoidable, and offer no useless CON-
plants and ratings against anybody.
Those who would yainly "kick againstthe
pricbs," and are ever ready TO advise
thunder and birthstone, it is time we had
cut the acquaintance of. we should at
least so far acquiesce in measures forced
on Us as to conline our tempcrs within
moderate bounds. 1t is presumed the
South affords now, as always heretofore,
ample talent to fill any position under the
Government, and gentlemen can be found
who would naturally secure the respect
and confidence Of the people. With such
men before the country as candidates,
| |.l 10 ;g,a ~ ha ynfa
in their favor in spite OF all outside
pressure.
The negro is willing to vote with us if we
wish it so, and we can, without any sacri-
fee, secure their aid now, and hold them
safely in any future emergency.
The preachers, teachers, and officers of
the Freedmen's Bureau in our section have
not used their influence, so far, to SOW dis
sension between the two races in the mat
ter of elections. But they have perfect
right to recommend and advise concen-
tration Of this vote in behalf Of any candi-
date that will represent its interest fairly.
We may unite with them and there can be
no objection to the negroes being fairly
represented. Everything is to be gained
by selecting those who are fully impressed
with the situation, and able to dispense
impartial legislation to the two races. The
negroes will readily unite in support of
these men for any office.
We shall have sooner or later to get rid Of
all squeamishness, and boldly face the mu-
sic. The negroes are going to vote whe-
ther we do or not, and somebody ought to
advise them, and will advise them, how to
vote, and it is time we were girding our
loins either to swim with the current or to
be carried down by it.
/ have no vote, but will attend the cleo
ton for curiosity, and would vote, if al
lowed, for the man calculated to do best
for every class, even though every negroi in
America voted for or against him.
