The PRINCESS OF WALES AND THE Fashions.
There Is no doubt that we owe much in mat
ters OF dress to the Princess OF Wales. Not
with the memory Of living man has there been
q costume prevalent among English girls 80
admirably adapted for the display of youthful
figure as that we have now. It is altogether
an excellent style OF dress, artistically fine, and
capable Of admitting that play OF tsncy 10 de-
tail which prevents any costume from becor.s-
ing monotonous. We do not include, Of course.

came to England, the fashion of ladies' dresses,

EDGEFIELD COURTHOUSE, May 31.-The
weather here Is extremely warm and rain is
much needed. Farmers who live within reach
of the railroad in this section say that with
cotton at twenty cents it will not pay to plant
corn. I am told by one OF the most intelligent
men in the district, that Edgefeld will not
average, on unmanured land, more than six
bushel Of corn to the acre. The came land
will give four hundred pounds of seed cotton
to the acre, equal to one hundred pounds OF
lint, which at twenty cents. will produce $40.
Six bushels Of corn at even 81 30 per bushel,
which is higher than it sells at in this district,
will only give so. II. however, the corn crop is
short and tton falls much below twenty
cents, the farmers will undoubtedly suffer.
All the merchants here with two or three
exceptions. are energetic and hard working
young men. What iahow wanted is q railroad
from Aiken to this place, distanc OF twenty
one miles. The line would be along q level
ridge with only one creek to cross. Starting
from Aiken, this line might run through Edge
field and Abbeville to Anderson, either bending
OF to Dodd's gold mine or having branch
sity OF q road from Anderson to Augusta
through the Savannah River valley, which road
would seriously injure Charleston.
The people are much annoyed at not having
q daily mail. 1t is delivered daily at Pike
House Station. but the postmaster there will
not forward it because he is not paid to do so.
Many Of the citizens would take The DAILY
News if they had a daily mail They hope for
q chan ge about the 1st Of July.
The Edgefeld Advertiser is an able and
thriving paper. The publisher, Mr.. Durisoe,
has laid me under obligations by his courteous
attention.
Edgefield is we'll supplied with places of
Worship. The Roman Catholic Chapel attracts
much attention, beng built Of granite from
cemetery attached to the Baptist Church lie
the remains of the late Governor Piokens. The
grave is unmarried by any monument in &C
cordance with the instructions contained in

In June, 1866. there we're received at the

boxes, said to contain valuables turned over

posed to De interested. A committee COM
partments witnessed the carrying out of the
joint order of the two departments. The bog
es were found to~Nentain valuable diamonds
pearls, necklaces, watches, earrings, brooches,
rings, chains, seals, and all manner OF jewelry,

most valuable property, however, which the
Oo1ss q contained was very large amount OF
goia ia, and siver plate. consisting, of pitchers,
savers, spoons, knives, urns, &C., some Of
which was thought to have been more than q
hundred years old. One OF the boxes contain.
eG some very rich wearing apparel or
amount Of Confederate notes and bonds. and
notes Of State banks. There was also small
amount OF specie. both gold and silver. The
boxes were about the size of ordinary dry
goods boxes, and tho value of their contents
is yariously estimated at from $40, 900 to $10O-

they wore taken from banks. which had oeaa-

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHNaroN, June 2.-The State of Penn
sylvania claims that cigars manufactured by
convicts should be exempt from taxation. The
claim will be rejected on the ground that the
convicts might make whisksy. .'
Several New York bankers claim that the
bulk Of their capitai is used for carrying"
stocks and bonds, and that inasmuch as they
are thus acting as brokers these funds should
be exempt. The government has not yet de-
cided the case, but it is understood that the
decision will be unfavorable. Ev-t TnM
