is coroborated by the very words
in which It's correctness Is denied.
Governor Scott admits that it had
"a slight foundation in fact" and
that it was necessary ito disabuse
tho negroes Of. Abbeviile of tho
notion that they were to be i'm.
mediately enrolled" and also "to
direct them to return to their Ia
Dor and their homes" And vet
Governor Scott is weak enough to
ask the people to believe that
thore was no cause for excitemen
no cause for the negro leaving his
plough, and deserting his homo !;
md that the Governor Of the State
knew nothing Of all this beyond
what he read in the columns Of
the Charleston News.
But, rs we have said before, on
porienco teaches Governor Scott
absolutely nothing; and lie appeals
to his past course for his justifica-
ton. TO q past made up of foul
wrong and wanton aspersion, he
appeals for his justification, and
repeats the mondacious tale that
"for many months outragcs and
murders were rifc in several coun-
ties Of the Stato." This he nc.
companies with many mocking
sncer and tho declaration that "no
silly affection or assumption Of su-
periority by the privileged classes
will be. tolerated" by him.
The creator portion, however,
OF Gover4or Scott's letter is dcvo.
ted to- abusing tho paper which
has performed, and will continue
to perform, tho disagrecablo task
Of making him known as he is to
the people of South Carolina. To
his abuse we are indifferent. In
the record ofThe Charleston News
must be found the only reply it
would become us to mako. It is
not Governor Scott who shall
judge US and our motives. The
people Of the State, tho white peo.
pie, Of the State, must be our
Judges and we shall meet their
verdict with confidence. We have
felt that their reputation and their
| honor wero in q measure in our
keeping. We have done our best
to prove ourselves worthy of the
trust. And if wo desired encour-
agoment~and support, md tho ns-
surance that wo have chosen tho
right path, we should find all those
in tho circumstance that Governor
Scott has thought us deserving of
his vituperation. Tho praise or
the thanks OF this person might
stain our reputation and cast a
shadow on our name, but his con-
domination is a coveted honor and
reward.-m Charleston .Ne,os.

A Man Marries His Mother,

1t will be remembered by many
of our citizens that at q wedding
which was solemnized near Rusty
hut, Georgia. some time in 1945,
tho brides father was killed in a
difficulty with q brother Of hor
husband. This occurrence is, per-
haps, b: ought too readily to the
minds Of our readers. 1t is, to
those acquainted with tho circum-
stance, known that tho bride of
but Il few hours attempted 70 kill
her husband with pistol. The
wife and husband parted. She
went to an interior village in Tex
as, and no remained, until the
war, peaceably upon his planta-
tion-although he married in tho
meantime, and to him was born IL
son, which son entered tho army
of tho Confederate States, and fol-
lowed the banners of Dick Taylor,
Magrudcr and others Of tho noblo
chieftains who commanded tho
soldiers around the Gulf. Aftor
tho war tho young man wandered
about through the Gulf States, and
finally located in Texas whero his
fathers former wife lived. She
had resumed hor maiden namo,
and was tho propriotress Of q
largo and well-paying hotel, where
she had accumulated an Immense
fortune. Arriving at tho village,
the young man stopped ut tho ho-
tel, md was well provided for by
tho entcrprising matron. Neither
knew tho relation Of ono to tho
other. and although there is n
vast difference in their ages-ho
but a STRIPPING youth, and she q
wcel.prcscrvcd, comely woman Of
nenrly forty-an intimacy sprung
up between them, which ripcned
into affection, and resulted in tho
proposition by the young man of
marriage. lilo WINS accepted, and
in q few days the quiet hotel was
the sceno Of marriage rcvolry.
Thus tho solemn wedding ccre-
mony united q man to tho wifo Of
his tathor-his mother, nearly
and to tho would-be assassin of
his tathor. Verify truth is stran-
gor than fiction A man mnrrice
his mother !-Athens (Ala.) Post.

Retributlve Justice.

Tho mills Of tho gods arc said
TO grind slowly, but surely. An
Ohio papor says that EDWIN p.
STANTON, late Secretary Of War, is
in dying condition and suffering
severely. ....'.. .
What an awful death bed will
be that Of this wretchcd man
During the six years Of strife that
he welded dcspotic power, ATTILA
was not moro merciless, ALvA was
not moro cruel than was STANTON,
to all who had tho misfortune to
fall into his clutches.
DANrE's fanciod inscription over
tho Gatos of HolI was written over
oil Of STANToN's dungeons. He
revcllcd III tho, torture of his vic
Tins. He was never 80 happy
as when he could decree tho mis-
cry Of whole family. Mercy,
charity and forgiveness were stran.
gers to him, or if he heard their
voice it was only to refuse thoir
appeals with scorn.
For these deeds done in tho
flesh, he may probably bo soon
called to answer. Did he forgive
trospasses rs no hopos that his
may be forgiven Did he have
mcrcy upon those in his powor ?
Lot his whole official record an
swcr, and if in all that hidcous
catalogue Of ferocious cruelty and
crime ono act leaning to mercy
can DO found let him still have
hope. @
If ovor-contemplating IN carly
end OF his mortal carcor-he ven
tures to ask forgiveness for his
manifold sins and wickodnoss,
must not tho gibbeted remains Of
Mrs. SURRATr and Of Capt. WIRTz
rise up before him must not tho
groans of tho thousands whom he
consigned to dungeons and tortur.
ring in his cars must he not feol
that the brand Of CAIN is upon him,
and must hc not ask himself what
right he has to ask mercy who
mover showed any.
We hope ho may live to loarn
tho depths and atrocity of his
crimes that his conscience may
inflict upon him all the torturcs
which ho made others feel, and
that finally, purified by suffering,
his penitonoo may be accepted as
sincere. ~.@ef

most important requirements of
good husbandry. ...
Another error in farm buildings
consists in want Of compactness----
they ore too wide apart. They
should be built as nearly together
as circumstances will admit
Such farm yards, as wo 500 in
England and Germany, cannot be
arranged here, because tho wood.
en- material Of which tho houses
are made, are SO liable to destruc.
ton BY fire, that very close prox-
unity betwocn buildings Is impos-
sible. Yet important improve
ments can be made here, without
increasing tho danger Of fire.
Above all, horsc-stablos, wagon
sheds and harncss.rooms belong
close together. If the farmer
would closely consider how much
timo ho loses, by the wide scpera.
ton of these buildings, perhaps he
would be concerned Of the wisdom
of pulling them down at once,
md erecting others Of moro prac.
tical design. Perhaps tho neces-
sity Of paying higher wages will
give an impulse to Improvement
in farm architecture; buildings
will be erected upon tho prin-
cip}cs taught by experience
and science, rather than according
to inclination or accident.
1t may be mentioned rs another
advantage resulting from compact
arrangement Of farm buildings,
that tho proprietor can overlook
the farm-yard and prevent idle
ness and theft.
a good farm-yard ought to be
built in the form of a square. On
one side Of this square tho dwell
ing house must stand, and on the
opposite side the stables and the
barn on another side tho gin
house, and opposite this the sheds
for tho wagons and tools. Suffi-
cicnt room ought to be preserved
between these several buildings
to lesson Danger from fire, and
afford space for manure pens, &c.
If, now, the spaces between all
The buildings be filed up-that is
tho square cnclosed-by a strong
and high fence, and the back doors
we'll scanned, tho proprietor can
supervise every thing from his
chamber and his laborors can have
no opportunity to indulge in mis-
conduct.

upon the barn floor and by tho
uso Of a hoe the bone and ashos
must be thoroughly blended to-

A WORD ABOUT BABIEs.-Batics

ia, the world couldn't got along

seem rs if the little ond of tho

discordantly would sound the
mighty wall which aggrieved hu-
man nature is continually sending
up, If the alto-cry Of infancy was
wanting to complete tho parts? ?
What, too, would become Of that
great host Of artizans who cuter

The JEALOUSY or G1RLs.-Girl

TIE JEALOUSY or G1RLs.-Girls,
too, are awfully Jealous Of each
other. I should call this tho girls
distinctive fault. See them when
thoy arc introduced, or when they
meet at Il ball or croquct party
500 how coldly critical they look
ut each other how insolcntly their
eyes rovo over overy portion of
their rivals dress; read in their
faces tho outspolon scorn as tho
result Of their scrutiny: "You
think you have done it very well,
but you have made n fright of
yourself, and I an much better
than you |" Watch their disdain
for the more admired among them ;
and how excessively naughty for
attracting 40 much attention thoy
think that Ada or Amy arc, about
whom tho cyoungmcn cluster. How
bold she is?-.h how ovcrslrcsscd she is,
how affect cd she is?-and, oh how
ugly she is? Sometimes, it they
arc deep, thcs will ovcrpraiso her
enthusiastically but the rusc is
gen orally too transparent to de-
ccivo any ono, and simply counts
for what it is--a clever fcint that
doesn't answer. 1t,s quito n study
to watch the way in which girls
shake hands together, or take
hands in dances. The limp, cool,
lmpcrtlncnt way in which they
jnst touch palms, and let their
arms fall as if paralyzcd tells a

rup.NEw KING OF SPAIN.

The short lived Republic Of Spain j, no
more. The revolution which eliminated
in the downfall Of Isabella, has spent its
strength, and, us VIC predicted, the people
have sought relief from anarchy, under
EMBEDDING wingso Of despo.ism. That this
would be the result was patent to all; and
not even tie unwarrautablc, unscemly
haste to recognize tile revolutionary Junto,
which was exhibited by our government,
could avert the swift decay which attends
corruption. Selling upon the State in the
name of Liberty, organizing govern
nent upon the principle of the largest
privilege 10 all, its first official act was to
prescribe the Jesuits for their opinions
sake, its next, to confscate their prop.
erty for the sake of the spells. Weak
and fanatical, wicked and corrupt, II
cea.ed to live e'er it had well begun, and
will only be remembered 10 be despised.
The new king whom it is understood
has been selected 10 Gil the throne oil
Spain, is The Duke Of Montpensier, the
fifth son Of Louis Philippe, formerly
King Of France. lie was born at Ncuily
near Paris, in 1924. Ills cunning father
married him 1876 to the Spanish Prin-
cess Louisa, the sister Of Queen Isabella
II. aud at The same timo brought about
the Queens marriage to her imbecilo
cousin, Francis, Of Aassisi. Louis Philippe
supposed that this would be u cliildless
marriage, mud that the children Of the
Duke Of ,lOntpehsier would accordingly
inherit tue Throne. His calculation llas
proved erroncousin every way. IIc him
self died in exile !; aud for more thnn
twenty years, mono of his family have
seen their native country. 1sabella H.,
has number Of children. and yet tue old
Kings principal pnd will be essentially
gained when Nloinensier puts IN the
crowi, Of SPUN, with u reasonable chance
Of transmitting II to bis po.tetity.
