Tribute Of Respect.


At meeting of Rock Spring Lodge,
No. 3l3, F. & A. NJ, the following
preamble and Resolutions were received
and adopted, on the 18th day of July
WHEREAS, God i'm his providence,
saw fit to remove by death, our esteem
ed and much lamented friend and
brother, j. N. Erwin, thereby severing
from the mystic chain another link.
Therefore,
Rcsolued, That we bow in humble
obedience to this disrensation of
Providence, acknowledging Gods
right to rule his creatures and that we
submit, feeling. that he "doeth al things
WE'LL"
Resolved, That..we have lost one of
our most efficient and useful brothers,
being an active, untiring, and sacrificing
man. In piety and christian charity,
not often passed anS seldom equalled.
He was friend to Me poor, and a
helping hand was ever extended to the
widow and orphan.
ResOlred, That we sympathize with
and offer our coincidence to the bereav-
ed ones he has left behind him, assuring
them that the builder of the great
Temple will bind together his faithful
ones, ,where ties never more are severed
RcsolUed, That We, his survivors,
recognize in this, the Christening hand
of God, and that we be more Jealous
in our respective duties to our God, to
our neighbors and ourselves, so that in
after life we may enjoy the happy
reflection consequent upon life well
spent, feeling that we have not been i'd
lers Iabout the Temple, and Idle in the
hope of q glorious Immortality"
Resolved, That a copy of this pream-
bic and Resolutions be sent to the
COLUMBIA HERALD for publication,
and also copy furnished the family of
the deceased.

THOMAS b. ASHTON, son of the late
JAMES II. ASHTON, died at the residence
of his mother, Maury county, Tennessee,
July 18th, 1859, aged about IL years. He
was a young mon of extraordinary pro-
mise. His mind VAS Of the very first
order. His moral character unexcep.
tionable. He was, in all respects, one Of
the most admirable young pieu whose
death we have been called TO mourn.
He had been q professor of religion and
member of the NJ. L. Church South, for
two years. He met death calmly and
triumphantly, and without cloud or
fear sweetly "fell asleep i'm Jesus" We
expect to meet him In the bright world

Wayne County.

The Governor Tuesday removed
the Commissioner of Registration of
Wayne County, and appointed JAMES
CALDWELL in his place. MIR. CALD-
WELL has the name of being a high
toned gentleman, and will doubtless
do Justice to the people Of that county.
We learn that the old Commissioner
never granted certificates to more than
about thirty conservative voters, and
that there are quite number who are
entitled to register under fair con-
struction of the franchise law, who
have heretofore been denied ccrtifi.
Gates. IfMr. CALDWELL Is the man
that his friends represent him TO be,
he will see that justice is done to this
oppressed class of citizens within the
limits Of his Jurisdiction.
Wayne County boasts Of six candi-
dates for the lower branch Of the Legis-
laturc, among whom is LEONARD HI.
GRIMES, the late would-be Congress
man. Some Of our readers will remcm-
Der this man GRIMES, sometimes called
sod Father Grimes, that good old
man." He Is not a Shakespeare, but to
his credit he il said, lie is too sharp for
all of his competitors.
Judge NORRIS, of Wayne county, is
a candidate for the Senate in the 18th
Senatorial District, composed Of Wayne
Lawrence and Giles He runs OH the
liberal platform Of universal suffrage,
and his chances for election over w.
\. GARNER are flattering.
II Is thought that under the new
registration, Wayne county will elect
O. man Of liberal opinions, to represent
them in the lower branch Of the next
Legislature. We hope that that coun-
ty may yet redeem herself.

The many friends of this gentleman
in this city and elsewhere, will be
his death, which occurred yesterday
morning. He WAS born in Mt. Pleas
ant, MaITy county, and Immediately
entered upon commercial pursuits ia
this city, in which he continued for ~
years. having won the confidence Of all
with whom he came in contact. He
was last of the firm of Gordon, Buck
her & Co. His fine intellect and gelf
ial social qualities made him a gelleral
favorite with all his acquaintance.
The death Of such a man in the hey
day of life and energy is a loss to the
community, and is so regarded by all
who knew him. U,ion q Amcric0n 81

While the papers contain many ar
ticles urging the people to build cotton
mills, ETC., We hear but little of the ne
cessity Of building churches. IT seems
10 I've taken for granted that they will
bc erected by the growing wants Of the
people. The Methodist congregation
at Mt. Pleasant and in the vicinity, are
going to build fine churcl, ediiice.
The vicinity Of Mt. Pleasant Is one of
the most beautiful and desirable spots
in the world, and the people are as
generous az their soils. Rev. w. II.
HUGHEs, chairman " the Building
Committee, is brother of Rev. J. f.
HUGHEs, and is also an able preacher,
and n builder of his church.

Ma. EDITOR: Knowing that The
columns Of your estilnable paper are
always open to the publication Of any
thing calculated to improve the mind,
stimulate energy or develop the agn-
cultural, horticultural or mineral re-
sources of the country, ask you to
give this short communicated small
space in your local columns
have always believed that nothing
in creation Is without value or purpose,
and that wherever the earth's surface
is unsuited TO agriculture, IL contains
beneath something valuable. ! have,
therefore, endeavored to discover, by
experiment, for my own satisfaction,
what tits. sometime agoin looking
over rugged and poor piece Of land,
thinking within myself for what pur-
pose was IL made) I discovered upon
the surface what I conceived 10 be in
dications Of gold. I therefore obtained
the Judgment Of an experienced "gold
hunter" who sustained my opinion
and proposed an experiment, which
was agreed to. So with another enter
prising and scientific man, armed and
equipped with shovels and spades, un-.
der cover Of the night, we proceeded to
this rugged place, where the indica
tions spoke to us in immistakable lam
guage that not far below the surface lay
a rich vein of the precious metal. Con-
scious Of success we commenced the
work without del1E. And must say,
that none of Erin's SOILS could have
excelled US in the skilIful use of our
tools. Nor could the 'sDoodlebug"
have hid himself in his dusty mansion
sooner than we did in the hard clay.
Buoyant with hope our energies in
creased by stronger evidences Of sue
cess as We rapidly penetrated the earth,
We grew not weary but pressed OH to
reach our rich reward.
The heavy yoke OF dependency was
gone; and labor went gay with us then.
Thus we labored until the cock e sllrill
voice proclaimed the coming day,
when from the bottom of the pit came
Inc glad announcement from . ''stal-
wart digger, aI've found itr In a |
I was at his side. We gave
Ihe specimens a thorough exclamation |
and now have the satisfactory assu- |
rance that . rich gold mine is ours.
We then departed for our homes, sing
ng a. we went, TO the good old tune Of
Hoops up and down" I
Farewell to labor and want,
Thy shackles uewesr no more;
Well have whatsoever We want
That's found In the richest store:
We are now making the necessary |
TO continue the work, and
Is we proceed will now and then give

CULLEoKA, July 20, 1869.
Our village has been quite dull oflate.
First, our schools closed their sessions,
and tho boarding pupils left for their
homes. Then we had Small Pox ex-
citement, which for a time kept every
body "and the rest of mankind, - from
tho village: That excitement has now
been dead for some weeks, and busi-
ness and trade are reviving again.
Last week the Methodists held pro-
tractcd meeting here i'm their large new
church. The congregations were large,
and several additions made TO the
church.
Our village still improves q little; al
most every month a new building is
erected, either for business or residence,
and thus constant additions are made TO
our population; some moving in from
other parts 10 try their fortunes with us,
and some natives to the manor born
making their appearance in our midst.
Crops o fwheat are full average. Corn
is unusually promising. Cotton begins
to look better, oats are fine; and hay
better than usual. So I trust with
peace, such as tho election of SENTER
Two hopc) viii give, and plenty, the
result of Gods good providence and the
tolls Of industry-we shall ei.sss lnc.o De
a prosperous and happy people.
: The school at Pleasant Grove academy
has commenced its fall session under the
charge of Mr.. G. S. WIILIAMsoN, with
fiattering prospects, and in about ten
days Mr.. DINwIDprE's school will re-
sumo its exercises. lie has secured too
additional rooms, each IL by 81. for his
next SESSION. and will be prepared TO
accommodate all who may come.
We complain of our mails. The HER
AID rarely reaches us before Monday,
when we ought to have it Friday or Sat.
urday, and the evil is rather of recent
existence. Hope il may be remedied.
