Now that the brilliance Of Summers
Sun is upon us, and as the French politely
express it, eve have heat, the above places
offer many attractions to the invalid, and
the sensitive and gifted tourist. As
for Summerville and Waihalla, we can
speak by the book, and endorse all the
pretty and good things said of the former
place by the Charleston papers We might
besuile wcarY moment or two with seve-
raj charming episodes, which transpired at

and that good Maj Horbach, Of the'Charles-

it as bride in waiting for her lord: every.
thing that liberal mind could conceive to
attract the eye, gladden. the heart and
give comfort to the guest, has been brought
into reonisition. And over the interests Of

try, may enjoy the healthful tonics Of sea-
air and Slime bath, during the das, and
a pleasan. end speedy return to the deli
clous, bal$amic air Of the village for the
enjoyment OF night Of calm repose.
Aiken is also 4 resort Of great merit. Its
atmosphere il pure and bracng, and very
grateful to the enervated. Particularly to
those who have long dwelt in humid a'-
mo>phere The fame of Summerville and
Aiken for healthfulness, is only exceeded
by the refinement and courtesy Of their
citizens. We are not certain, but think
our old friend Smizer caters for the pleasant
public at Aiken. If it's he. We know
that he "can keep a hotel". Aiken,
has like advantages as Summervile-the
beautiful city of Augusta being contiguous
thereto.
And who that has soiourned at Walhalla,
has not fondness for the place. The

Row AND BALL.-Proclamstion having
been extended to an unusual limit that
Saturday last would be the glorious
Fourth of July, and day on which the
emancipated element might display its
liberty, an immense gathering was the
consequence. From far and near came
the representatives, until the avenues Of
approach to, and streets of, our little
town were crowded to excess. Donny-
brook fair could not hold a candle to it.
We cannot attempt description of the
whole animated, highly colored scene,
the varied costumes, the baskets big and
little, (for the big pot and little pot had
billed for the pic mic, which was part of
the programmed or the snachs done up
in handkcrchiefs, &C., We have nothing
to do with that, and for one reason We
were not in town. At an early hour
then the town was filled, but the far off
came dropping in through the morning,
till the dinner ground swarmed with the
hungry crowd. We understand that the
various contributed compounds were
ample, and that the immense party were
filled with food, and $50 far so good)

vailed until toward the shank ofthe day,

had been growing all morning in the

tie, in which pistols and brick bats were
extensively used. For time it seemed
as if a region unmentlonable had broken
loose, and that something serious would
be the consequence, as the foot charged
the cavalry with yellS and rocks, and the
men on horseback fired their pistols to
right ard left, looking the while straight
ahead for the road which led from dan
ger Not witnessing the scene oursclf
we cannot rely on the rumor that the
cavalry lacked courage in the melee, and
that though they had stood charge after
charge from the mouths of many black
bottles during the day. the afternoon
charge of the black battalion of leaguers
vas too much for them, and that they
fled incontinently. 1t may have been
the fault of the animals they rode, or the
other we can; say. Any how the bat
lie ended in the cavalry taking fight,
and the foot holding the ground, together
with ew bullets, which caused some
pain and Inconvenience to the holders,
and at late nour Of the afternoon on
our return the streets were yet alive with
the angry disputants who had thus hon.
ored the day they came to celebrate.
Structures are unnecessary and useless,
the reader can Imagine for him or herself
all that might be said, and come to the
conclusion that the inevitable consequent
ces are working themselves out. The
day thus closed. terminated in a boil in
gravel-town, which was kept up till a late
hour, and for which We give them credit
by saying was quite orderly.
The wounded in the fight are not seri.
ously injured, and several of the horse
back have been lodged in Jail.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Pic NIc.-The va
rinus Sabbath schools of this town, hav-
ing accepted an invitation from the 1lele-
ma SautursT scthool, u-.-l.r .ha Superin-
tendency of DR.. r. F. Diver, together
with officers, teachers, and parents, and
several invited guests, enjoyed great
frolic at Beaver Dam Creek on Saturday
the Fourth. The happy, expectant par
ty from town. get at the depot at an
early hour, where an accomn odation
train received and conveyed them FIRST
to the town Of Helena, where their
friends of that hospitable little town
awaited them, and who greeted the train
as it approached, with songs Of welcome,
and the flying of appropriate banners.
After the necessary arrangements, the
whole happy party, were whirled to
the spot about six miles distant, and
there turned loose for an enjoyment,
which was fully had, We believe. Dr..
Diver and his coadjutors We must say,
were indelatigable in their efforts to
make the day one of pleasure to all, and
were highly successful, except so far as
the warm weather and heat of the sun
initiated against it, and could these
draw backs have been obviated We are
certain that the DR.. would have been
the man for its accomplishment.
1t is hardly necessary to speak OF the
frolics of the young people all will un-
derstaud how much Of that was done !;
nor of the elegant dinner, which in the
greatest variety and profusion, was
spread on the green sward by both the
invited and invitors. nor Of the great
boxes of candy distributed at the ex-
pense of our Helena friends, and the
quantities Of iced lemonade which went
down the long line Of thirsty throats
Surrounding the cloths, and furnished
By the same hospitable hands. The
reader can picture repast thus spread
under green trees and upon vel
vet sward, and compare it to others, but
will do injustice unless his fancy car
ries him beyond any thing of the kind,
in extent and in the number of little
ones assembled, ever before witnessed or
participated in.
After dinner a stand was erected and
addresses given by the Rev's. J. T. Z'a.
ly and w. H. Black, between times en-
livened with several hymns sang by the
children. We say nothing of the ad-
dresses, more than thatthey were appro'
pirate and good but that We are no ad-
vocate for much speaking at any time,
unless something special has to be said,
and particularly on occasions of tii's
character, when children would rather
enjoy themselves in other ways. In
justice to the Rev. gentlemen, however,
we say that they we're invited to speak,
and made their remarks very brief.
About 4 in the afternoon, the train
returned for it's valuable freight, and
which all being got on board, were ta-
ken to Silver Street few miles further
up. Here We were watered plentifuly,
after which came the return trip, which
was successfully accomplished in good
time between six and seven o'clock, and
all we'll satisfied with the whole days
enjoyment, end under many obligations
to their friends of Helena.

"C1RcLE OF PRAYER ON Wednesday
evening last, Col. R. A. Fair, of Able.
vile, by appointment, met few mem
bers from two denominations of this
town, in conference at the Methodist
Church. His purpose was to effect the
formation of circle of prayer, similar to
those now in beautiful christian working
in many of the upper districts, and par
ticularly in his own town and district.
Col. Fair is an easy, graceful, forcible speak
er, and an eloquent exponent ofthis means
Of christian usefulness, and in the most
feeling and convincing manner explained
the practical working and great benefits
of these circles of prayer. 1t is not our
purpose here to enter into further explain
alton. but simply to state that his object
was happily effected, his views being
heartily endorsed by the few present,
and circle formed, which will meet on
Monday evenings Of each week hereafter.
The Abbeville Banner says:
The Circle OF Prayer 10 this District
assembled in the Presby yterian Church
in this place on last Wednesday, and
after very interesting session, adjourned
on Thursday evening. All Of the Circles
il the District We believe, were repre-
sented, and deep interest was manifest

influences Of ttese meetings are being
felt everywhere, and are doing much to-
