GREENvILLE. 8. c., Wednesday, August 18.-
Deforo giving tho proceedings OF the United
States Court, permit me to state that nothing
has occurred during the session up to this date
worthy oil any SPECIAL mention. No important
cases have yet been reached, and of course no
'concomitant lengthy speeches. In yesterday g
proceedings the trial Of tho case Of Colonel ".
Fl. Go ,dett. on the charge OF obstruoiiug tho
revenue oficors, elected the most attention
that has yet come up, although at the same
tino it did not occur to your correspondent
that it's interest exceeded local concern suffi-
ciently to justify even bIiof outline Of it,
notwithstanding some OF our best lawyers were
engaged ON it. The readers Of TIE News will
be kept informed. ....
The presence Of the officers of the court in
our midst. together with those in attend
anoe, gives life aud activity to our little city.
Judge Bryan aud Mr.. Horlbeck and tho other
Officials are staying at the Mansion House.
Air. Swandale has also other visitors, among
whom is Governor a. Cumming, OF Georgia,
who is spending the summer here.
Our Peabody schools opened on Monday
last with two hundred and forty pupils-otherH
will enter. AS you have published the list OF
teachers, I will not give them here. We think
prove that they must be OF vast benefit to the
children growing up. One OF the teachers in
formed me that she had counted over forty
families sending in 1868, who, had not these
institutions bsen in existence. would not have
beon able to give their children any instruo.

The weather is hot and dry. In some por-
lions OF the county no rains have fallen Of any
consequences for eight or nine weeks Corn
will be very sclrce indeed. But the Lord will
provide.
