| COTTON THAT Is CoTToN.-At the office OF MI.
j. E. B. SLOAN, Brown & Co.'S Wharves' We naa
the pleasure uf looking at, yesterday, one OF tile
1 most perfect samples of the great staple OF the
South We remember to have noticed. Its Deau,y
of color, and admirable ginning, vas unsurpassea'
and no one, who having seen such elegant speci-
mems of the staple, but that would come 10 Inc
conclusion that nature has given this part OF the
globe unequalled advantages for the raising OF the
article. These specimens were grown IN Ander-
son District in this State, by, Mr.. CHAs. WALIl-
FORD. and were sold by Mr. SLOAN for 19h cents
per pound. Much OF the appearance OF these
specimens were owing to the excellent gins useo
in preparing il. for market, which We learn 10
known as the "Gullitt Gin" originally got up IN
Mississippi and sold by our fenow-oltlzen, Y.
GaAvELy, Esq, at his hardware store On East
Bay.

ACCIDENT ON THE STREET RAnwAY.-We have
frequently alluded to the practice OF jumping on
| and off the street csrs while in motion, and the
| accidents that have occurred should have proved
sufficient to deter any one. from these attempts to
| obtaira ride. A number of colored boys have
been in the habit OF waiting on Rutledge street,
| and endeavoring to obtain clsndestine ride, by
| jumping on some portion of tho cal while in mo-
ton. The most~common practice has been to
stand on the iron rod connecting the trucks and
toholdon by the ledge projecting from the side OF
the csE. By this method the parties could escape
dstSction and enjoy their stolen ride in compara-
tye safety
On Wednesday night, while Conductor CoHEN's
car WAS passing the corner of Bull and Rutledge
streets, q negro boy endeavored to jump upon this
iron rod, but from some cause failed and his feet
dropping under the car the rear wheel passed over
his left leg, near the ankle cutting and bruising
it terribly The car was instantly stopped and the
boy carried into the corner grocery store DIR.
OalER was called in and every attention bestowed
upon the sufferer. Though much bruised and
mangled the leg may be saved, but we trust this
accident will prove warning to others OF the class
who were in the habit of jumping on the cars. No
blame can be attached to the conductor or driver,
as it was not known the boy was on the car until
the accident occurred.
THE PREsBYTERY OF SOUTH CARoLINA.-The
Carolina Spartan says: ''Ths ecclesiastical body,
as was expected met in Spartanburg ON iast
Thursday, and continued its sessions until Satur-
day evening" 1t is one Of the four Presbyteries Of
the Presbyterian Church in this State, and includes
all the ministers and churches belonging to that
denomination Of Christians in the northwestern
Districts. There were present, as members OF the
body, twenty-three ministers and as many ruling
eldera The proceedings of the Presbytery
brought up no matters Of special interest, beyond
the usual routine of ecclesiastical business. The
reports ON the state Of religion in the several
churches were generally encouraging, and several
revivss we're mentioned as having occurred du-
ring the past year.
1.-THE amendments which have been proposed to
the Constitution OF the Presbyterian CHURCH in
the South, and which has elected much discus
sion came up for consideration, but all action in
regard to them was postponed by this Presbytery.
It's proceedings throughout were characterized by
perfect harmony. During the week frequent re-
ligious services were held in the Presbyterian
Church, and able and eloquent dscourses deliver
ed by members OF the Presbytery. The Rev. Pro-
fessor ANDERSON, of Davidson College, was pres
era, and preached sermon Of no ordinary
power on Saturday night.
''Tho Rev. DR.. PLUMER, of the Theological Semi
nary a. Columbia, was also present on Sabbath
preac ing in the morning at the Presbyterian
CbuSh h, and at night in tho Methodist Church.
We need not say that crowded congregations heard
him with delight, and We trust with profit.
'eWe are requested to say that the Presbytery
adopted resolutions, returning thanks to the peo-
pie of Spartanburg for their cordial and generous
hospitality to its members, and to the Methodist
and Baptist Churches for the kind offer Of their
houses of worship for the use of the Presbytery.
And we would say on the part of our citizens that
we have been much gratihed with the visit of the
Presbytery to our town. 1t has been pleasure to
us to receive them, and to enjoy, for few days,
their society as christian gentlemen, and their
services as ministers Of the Gospel. May bless
ings follow them to their lomes, and may they
soon again favor US with ane cher meeting in Spar
tanburg."
REVIVAL OF BusrNEss.-')uring this week trade
has received an impetus that is plainly visible in
the presence of the nun ner Of purchasers now in
the city, and in the toxes trirned out beforsthe
doors Of the wholess'e stores on Meeting, Hayne
and East Bay stree.s. An increased activity in the
cotton trade has caused other branches of mersan-
tile industry to evive, and sspirit has been gwen
p business generally that we trust will be perma-
nent. Many u the merchants in the interior have
only delayed their purchases until their cotton
could be sent to the market and the strange faces
now seen in the streets, and the lively appearance
OF the hotels, are a proof that though long de-
layed the fall trade will yet be OF some Importance
AS the metropolis of South Carolina. Charleston
has always been considered the market for nu
merous merchants both in this and contiguous
