We learn from Pendleton, that the gin
house of Sloan & Sloan, containing. quantity
OF cotton, was accidentally destroyed by fire on
Tuesday. No insurance.
or sale day in Darlington, the Democrat
SAYS: There was full attendance on last
Monday, and considerable property changed
hands at very low prices.
The Newberry Herald says: "Ihe immense
trains loaded with cotton which pass down the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad, end whic !
require two engines generally, one before and
one behind, to propel to their destination, or
tho termination Of this road, gives good proof
of tho abundance Of the great staple raised III
the up-country and the good prices roallzed
is making money matters easy with planters,
merchants and in fact al classes"
of salc-day in Newbsrry, the Herald says:
son Monday last MI unusually large number
of persons from the country were in town.
which, with the score or two OF wa IONS, filled
with cotton and produce, nicde the scene al
animated and busthng one. The business
done on that dry fully satisfied our enter
prising merchants; all were busy, which, how
ever, we are glad to say, is usually the case
vita them, only on this occasion little moro
81 than common. The sales OF land by the
the commissioners, including two storehouse
lots, were twelve hundred and fifty acres,
which amounted TO S11 AGO."
Tho Clarendon Press says: "WiLh much
regret VIC chronicle the serious wounding
of our estimable young townsman and accom-
plished Druggist, Mr.. j. II. Holladay, by tho
accidental discharge of double barrel gun
on Saturday, the 18th instant. Mr.. Holladay
had just left his store and stopped to the win
dow of Mr.. G. Z. Thames store to ask about
some articles ho wished to purchase, when at
that very instant, gun which sone freedman
had leaned against the counter slipped and fell
to the floor, discharging its contents through
the window, mangling Mr.. Holidays left hand
terribly and also causing several shots to pene-
.rate his throat. But for the fact that tue gun
was loaded with duck shot and his left hand
obstructing the force, he would have been
instantly killed. His condition is very critical
very little hopes being entertained OF his re-
covery."

TEA Az MEDICAL STIMULANT.-The last
number OF the Boston Medical and Surgical

ton upon the action Of them on the human

liant. 1t s. also tounl in coffee, aud in certain
South American plants, whose leaves are used

the article in question made several expert
ments of thein upon human cases. 1t was
toun.l that in every instance the pulse was
lowered, nervous tr mu.ousness followed, and
special mental activity was noticeable. One
gentleman, u,r.cr the influence of this aka

THE ELECTIONS IN TILE ST.aTE.

We publish this morning mass OF election
returns, which have been forwarded to US by
our special correspondents throughout tho
State, and we hope to be able in few days to
publish the full returns from each district.
The table G ven below shows the Democratic
and Republican majorities upon the Presden-
tial ticket in oil districts so far reported.
Old Abbeville is declared by our correslon-
dent to be henceforth ''white mans" district.
At Ninety-six, out of 800 votes, only eight or
ten were cast by colorcd men. Tho colored
people did not desire 70 vote, and preferred to
stay at home. 1t is reported in Abbevllle that
Governor Scott has announced that the vote
from Abbeville, Edgefeld, Newberry, Lexing-
ton and Laurens shall not be counted, but we
have no idea that such a thing will be done.
Williamsburg is expected to show small
Republican majority. Only few colored men
voted the Democratic ticket.
In Georgetown County the vote for member
of Congress was: Whittemore (Republican),
2679; Covington lDemocrat), 266 The vote
cast was 1000 less than the registered vote.
Marion has gone Democratic By small ma
jority.
It will be seen by our Columbia letter that
the Hon. J. P. Reed, of Anderson, (Democrat)
has been elected to Congress from the Third
District.

WHICH SEAM DOES RIP EAs1EsT-TnE WI WILL
cox AND GIBBS OR THE LOCK STITCH ?-While
il is universally admitted that the Wilcox and
Gibbs machine is the simplest, and the least
liable TO get out OF order; that it runs the east
est. sli!lcst and fastest; that it. requires the
least skill to use it; that its needle, hcmmer
and teller are perfect marvel; and the ma
chine itself the Ges. beyond comparison, it is,
nevertheless, asserted, by parties interested Ill
"doublc-thrcad" machines. that "the Wilcox
& Gibbs stitch is not reliable;" that 1.-The seam
will rip" that 1.-The work will come to pieces
before the garment is worn out, &C., &c. How
these charges tally with tue verdict OF the jury
at the 'Grand Trial at Island Park the fol.
lowing extract from the "ReporL" OF that trial
will show:
"Again each party claims that his stitch is
the least liable to rip by tho ordinary strain
upon the seam OF q garment in use. Tho test
REQUIRES row OF parallel stitching 10 be made
by each machine, lcngthwise across narrow
STRIP of two thicknesses OF muslin; and this
strip is then cut across at every half IN inch,
making it into smaller strips, each as long as
tho width of the original piece. Each judge
takes one of these small strips, and opening the
folds on the lock stitch side, pulls on the ends
in opposite directions, and the lock stitch seam
rips out. The folds being thus opened to the
Wilcox & Gibbs seam, he continues pulling,
bnt this seam refuses to rip. He pulls strong
er. but this only tlghtens the stitch; the mate
rial gives way, but the seam holds FAST" And
the iury, in accordance with the facts, render
Its scans the Wilcox & Gibbs) 'has the
peculiar advantage of beng readily taken out,
when il is desirable; while it is less liable to
rip, in use or wear. than tho lock-stitch.'

CORRECT STYLE IN WRITING AND SPEAKING.-
We quote from John Stuart Mills account OF
the style of the ancient writers: : The secret
Of the style of the great Greek and Roman au-
thors is that it is the perfection of good sense.
They never use word without meaning, o.
q word which adds nothing to the meaning. 1t
never entered into their thoughts to conceived
piece OF writing as beautiful IN itself, abstract
eedly from what it had to express; its beauty
must all he suDscrvient to the most parfecI eX-
preston of the sense. The perfection OF work
manship is only visible in the absence OF
everything which abstracts the mind from the :
man purpose. 1t was only in the decline OF
ancient literature that ornament began to DC
cultivated merely as ornament. Even 'loscrIp..
tive eplthets were one OF the corruptions OF
style which abound in Lucan, for instance. The
word had no business there unless it brought
out some feature relating to the matter III
hand. Ornament for the sake Of ornamen! de-
feats the very purpose of the speaker by call
ing of attention from the main object. Ias
is the first grand lesson in composition TO be
learned from the classical authors"
