ACCIDENTAL SHoor1NG.--on Saturday
night last, as we are informed, two young
men-Peter McGregor and E. B. Wells
had scuffle, when McGregor's pistol was
accidentally fired-the ball passing through
the flcshy part of Wells thigh The wound
is painful, but not dangerous
We learn that the Southern mail, which
was sent over the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad on Saturday was brought back
again-the authorities of the South Caro-
lima Railroad having ordered their trains to
run past Graniteville. We cannot vouch
for this statement and sincerely hope that
1t IS incorrect.
New WoRK.-We are indebted to Messrs.
Bryan & McCarter for copy of new work
which is at present exciting considerable
interest in the reading world. It is termed
"Greater Britain-a record of travel in En-
glish-speaking countries during 1866 and
1857, by @. W. Dixie" The volume is illu-
minated with maps and illustrations, and has
obtained such notorety that several pub
fishers have issued it, and the price has
gone down from So copy to $1-the cost
OF the present edition, and from q glance at
the contents, we feel safe in commencing
the volume. Harper & Brothers have put
1t up In very neat style.
LADIES FESTIVAL. call the attention
of our citizens to the festival to be held
this, Tomorrow and day after tomorrow

Zies. The object is one that, when known,
will commend itself to the public. It will
be recollected that Trinity Church Parson-
age was burned in 1865. The ladies, with
that devotion to church interests for which
they are noted have for some time been de-
voting themselves to preparations for an
entertainment, the proceeds of which are
to bo applied to rebuilding the residence of
their beloved and aged pastor Certainly
when our fair citizens ungrudgingly devote
their time and means to an object like this,
none of us will fail to encourage them by
our presence and contributions. Let all of
us attend and aid in this christian work.
