Reg The Liberal party in England

B@%The Liberal party in England,
under the lead of Mr.. Gladstone, seems
quite likely to carry out its measures of
reform. On Friday the House of Com
mons, after an exciting debate, went
into a committee on the bill to discs
tablish the Irish Church, by 1875 MAORI
ty. The bill was debated sssin COM
mittee. Disraeli moved to strike out
the following clause, "after the LIST day
of January, 1870, the said union Great
ed by act of Parliament between the
churches Of England and ireland be
dissolved, and said church of Ireland
cease to be established by law" The
motion failed by vote of 221 to S44.

THE SITUATION.

We find the following article in the
Abingdon Virginian, and commend it
to the attention of our readers, as one
of the very best we have seen upon the
situation. This paper was very stern
opponent of the Day Book, some twelve
months ago. We are glad to see, among
the crucial tests to which our people
have been applied, this paper accepts
the situation l.-
Now that the Virginia bill has passed
both Houses of Congress, and has been
approved by the President, we will have
an election, and it is time that we were
casting about and preparing for the con-
flict. Although we love the old Conser-
vative cause and the old Conservative
ticket, cause of which every good man
should be proud, and ticket that has
made noble effort to strike the shackles
from our limbs that we might stand
upright we are to have but one
choice, and that is Walker or Wells
the former moderate Republican, the
latter an ultra Radical the former op-
posed to the most obnoxious features of
the Underwood constitution the latter
in favor of enforcing them, all and sim
gular, to the very letter.
We say this is the situation; and we
might as well look it straight in the
face, and make up our minds according
ly. We take this ground because there
is no other way of escape, no other road
Of redemption, no .other hope for any,
thing like honorable adjustment not
that we love the Conservative cause
less, but because we love our torn and
suffering section more.
We propose then to be as practical as
possible to take what we can get, and
labor for what we ought to have and
not refuse little because we cannot get
much. If it is forbidden us to rejoice in
the triumph Of all our principles, we

ResF The Herald of Thursday says :
The National banks of Providence are
in sorry condition. No one but a
Jewish Moses can get them out of their
financial Egypt. Judging from the fact
that their agents come over to the Unit
ed States very often to borrow few
greenbacks at high premium, they must
be waiting for the arrival of their Moses
The day before yesterday they were SO
hard up that one bank had not on hand
thousand dollars, and one of the prin.
cipal banks, the Merchants, could moi
scrape together a little over three thou
sand dollars without running great risks
from the bank inspectors.

Bsg The Richmond Enquirer says:
We learn that the directory of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany have in contemplation the scheme
of selling out to the Pennsylvania rail-
road commonly known as the Penn
sylvania Central the States interest in
the Virginia Central railroad ($2,000,-
0OO) and the States interest in the Blue
Ridge railroad 1874, O0o,) and that if
the sales were made the Pennsylvania
railroad would build a road from Pitts
burg to Charleston, on the Kanawha,
Or some other point in West Virginia,
connecting their line with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road.

THE OLD DOMINION.

Doug Wallach says Though Vir-
s;aia, [and I presume Mississippi and
Texas has of late been receiving con-
siderable accessions of population from
the North, involving the payment to
her people of more or less ready money
for portions of their lands, the amounts
they have thus been receiving will
prove mere bagatelle in proportion to
those that will pour into their pockets
on such account after the full settlement
of her difficulties by her formal read
mission into the Union.
When she shall have placed herself in
full accord with her sister States by the
adoption of State constitution such as
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and N.
Jersey have, her mines, water powers,
fisheries, timber lands, agricultural
lands, &C., &C., will be snapped up as
no such property was ever before sought
after in this country, as astonishing as
has been the history of speculation in
them in other States. The truth is,
hers are of more intrinsic value owing
to their extent than those of any other
of the United States, are so situated on
account of climate and with reference
to convenience to the markets of the
world, as to be more keenly sought after
by shrewd capitalists than.any others.
The field of speculation, the field for
investment in Virginia in such purcha-
ses is so vast and varied and the result of
such investments within her limits are
SO sure to be extraordinarily profitable,
as to render it certain that the COMPETE
ton in making them will be wonderful,
past former experience in this proverbi-
ally specializing country and era.

Rss- We deem it prudent to warn our
Southern people, the trading portion of
them particularly, against the frequent
rumors of war with which the press of
the North abounds lately. They are
trade and speculation lodges. 1t will
be found generally about the time these
rumors are started on their rounds, hosts
of northern drummers will be seen max
Ing their way among our merchants
taking orders for goods; and the natural
Idea with our merchants is, if we are
likely to have a war they had better
lay IN large supplies of goods before
prices advance, as war will surely send
prices upward. A few hundred dollars
given to reporter OR correspondent of a
northern paper, by Spectator or
large holder of goods, will frequently
start such a rumor as will enable him to
sell out millions of dollars worth of goods
to the South ern or Western merchants,
and they are never the wiser for it. The
plain fact Of the matter is, war on the
part of this country with any foreign pow
er,now, is simply an impossibility as mat
tiers stand. There are preparations of a
precautionary nature being made by the
Government, in regard to operations in
Cuba, so as to have a sufficient naval
force in that quarter to protect our COM
nerce, but these are meas ures simply to
avoid the necessity of anything like
war. ~,

Agricultural Fairs.

Rightly conducted, these annual fairs.
are highly useful. We believe in them
They stimulate enterprise, encourage gen.
erous emulation, inci,e improvement and
augment the acquisition and diffusion of
nseful knowledge respecting the culti-
vation of the soil, and skill in the useful
arts and industrial pursuits.
Nor are their incidental influences to be
lightly esteemed. They bring together
the people for laudable purposes that
afford innocent pastime to men and
wome n, whose tolls and cares have been
numerous, and whose labors have been
arduous, during the most pressing period
of the year In rurallife. They afford a
Salutary unbending of the bow to the
masses of the people, whose hands have
been busy through the Spring and Sum
mer. tilling the soil or caring for the
focks and herds, which cheer them with
the rich reward in the fruits of autumn.
They invite the presence of all the
people Of all ages and ell callings, and
inspire in them a common delight in the
innocent recreations and instructions of
the occasion. Chronicle.

count of the absence of their pastors
Rev. Mr.. Martin preached at the Thomp-

regret that we were unable to attend,
but learned that although he is 8 young
man and quite recently licensed, he
preached an eloquent discourse, with
much ease AID grace of manner.
The services at the NJ. E. Church
were held under the guidance Of the
Pastor, Rev. O.. A. Darby, who, in the
evening preached to the children of the
Sunday School and their friends, very
able and happy sermon. We were glad
to be present~end although we thought
the discourse cnincnlly suited to the
children VIC were forced to appropriate
its many excellent precspts to ourseli
and hope our adult friends did so TOO.

ers was good but We could not be lp

TELEaRArH.-Howl long ehall Newberry con-
tinue to be ranked with the old fogy towns ofthe
South, and: remain without that powerful assis-
tant to the progress Of commuIity-the Tele>
graph? Will the citizens of this town ever
awake to the fact, that they aie behind the age,
in allowing this deficiency to exist? It will
cost not much more than 5000 to complete one,
aod connect Us with all the great commercia
centres of this vast continent.
No undertaking has been broached among us
that /. so certain to keep its stock above par and
should it Be built, and fail for want of manage
ment. it would undoubtedly sell for 50 per cent.
above cost. Then why are our monied men so
slow about this important matter, means of
increasing their business by bringing the citi-
zens ofthe surrounding country here to avail
themselves of its facilities, and consequently to
increase the trade of the town.. 1t would also
vastly improve the real: estate Of our town and
neishborhood. We cannot afford to be without
it long. and unless it is built by the citizens Of
Newberry, outside enterprise will soon construct
it.i1f:the line was started by our own citizens,
and they should take, say twothirds OF the stock,
our community would have . voice in the mat
ter. &c.
