Its said that CaIisaya Bark has pecul-
lar eject upon the liver, and guards the sys.
tenn against diseases by exposure and irreg.
ular diet. 1t is conceded that the great sue
cess Of the wonderful PLANTATION BITTERs,
which. previous to cur late unhappy difficult
Z ties, was found in most southern homes, was
owing to the extract Of CAlisaya Bark which
it contained as one of the principal ingredi-
..ents. In confirmation of this we have
heard one of our distinguished physicians
remark, that whenever he felt unwell from
ordinary dietetic or atmospheric causes, he
invariably relieved himself by PLANTATION
BIrrERS. We speak advisediy when we
say that we know it to be the best and most
popular medicine in the world.

The FIRST CASES OF DIVORCE IN SOUTH CARO-
IINA.-Thc Greenville Enterprise says that three
petitions for divorce came up for hearing ore
Judge Orr on Friday last Two of the appiica-
tions were from the wives of wicked husbands, one
from the husband against the wife. The first case
was from lady, Mrs. Mary E. Cameron. residing
in Charleston, for divorce from her husband,
Robert Cameron, in Philadelphia, from whom she
was by his cruelty compelled to separate several
years ago be having also since the separation un-
lawfully married another woman in Pennsylvania,
with whom he is now living The unlawful wife
on application furnished an. affidavit stating that
the husband represented himself as widower
and SO she married him in ignorance of the exis-
tence of the lawful wife. Judge Orr, after hearing
the petition and evidence, readily granted the order
of divorce in this case, on motion OF Perry Perry,
solicitors for the petitioner.
The other parties all reside in this county: The
applicants were represented by Messrs. Sullivan &
Stokes. Judge Orr granted the order Of divorce
in the case Of Mrs Amanda G. Lendeman from
the husband, Francis NJ. LendemaD, who it was
proved, had cruelty treated her and had married
or taken up with another woman. In the case Of
the petition of John W. Walker for divorce from
his wife, Mary j. Walker, on the allegation Of her
desertion some six or eight years ago, and her
violent temper and abuse which occasioned it, and
the hopeessness Of reunion, the Judge was not
satisfied that he ought to grant the husband a d.

THE HORSE TRAINING EXHIBITION

Did not come off at the time eappointed, although
Professor Cushman was on hand, according to
promise. The reason assigned for non-perform-
ance was that the lot procured by his agent was a
little too small for the stretching Of his canvas and
he could not hunt up another in time to perform
here and fill his engagements elsewhere, he having
come to town about noon. He was, therefore, re-
luctantly compelled to abstain from horse-style
demonstrations against unruly steeds. ..
Nothing daunted, however, by his bad luck, the
Professor produced genuine velocipede and, hay
ing mounted it, rode the strange animal around the
streets, to the amazement of our older citizens and
the infinite delight Of host of urehins Of various
hues, who gathered around the professor and fol-
lowed him in his peregrinations with many demon
strations Of applause Having satisfactorily proved
himself velocipede-tamer, Mr. Cushman next
showed his skill in training the canine species, and
exhibited learned dog in front Of Mr.. Rawlinson's
hotel.
The Professor having completely won the hearts
of the juvenile portion of the community during
his brief stay, left for Rock Hill on Saturday morn
ing, where we presume he had an exhibition the
same day.

THE COTTON CROP.

1t is already tolerably certain that the cotton
crop of this year must be small. Unfavorable &C
counts have come in from all parts Of the cotton
region of the South, and though the injury sus
tanned by the young plants may be considerably
repaired by succeeding favorable weather and ju
dcious cultivation, still it cannot be entirely obvi
ated.
This is undoubtedly considered great misfor'
tune by the majority of planters; but it may vel
prove to be q benefit rather than loss. In the
first place, corn planting has certainly been much
increased in consequence Of the dying out OF cotton
If the ensuing seasons are favorable to that crop
there will be much more corn in the country thar
there would have been had the cotton stand mol
been hurt. This result will benefit the whole
population, as it will give the planter plenty o1
food for man and beast, and enable non-producers
to buy their food at lower prices.
But the principal advantage to the planter con-
sists in the higher price which he will get for what
cotton he does make 1t is an established fact,
though most planters find it hard to believe, that
moderate or small CROP with high prices, pays
better than large crop with low prices. In the
former case there is large margin between the
cost Of production and the price received while,
in consequence of the attention given to food crops,
the planter has little to buy and can pocket the
proceeds of his cotton. In the second case there
is little or no margin for profit and the planter is
almost always compelled to pay out his cotton
money for corn and meat. This is so because
large cotton crop cannot be made without cutting
down the corn crop to an area too small tor the
support of the country.
It is not orr people who suffer by shortening
of the cotton CROP They receive nearly, if not al
together, as much for small crop as they do tor
a large one. Already the indications are that cot,
ton will open at high figure next fall. Combina-
tons of capitalists may keep it down for while
but this, of ITSELF is proof that the combiners know
it must rise. Ifthe opening price is low, it will
rise as the crop comes in, and the shorter the crop
turns out, the higher will the price RISE
The loss sustained in consequence of a small cot
ton crop falls chiefly upon the manufacturers of the
North and England. They pay about as much as
they do for large crop, and get less for it. Their
profits are cut down, and, in many cases, they are
forced to strain every nerve to pay expenses.
There is, then, not so serious cause for despon-
dency as might be imagined. Our people have
every reason to anticipate a good price for their
cotton, and they may yet make fair crop, besides
plenty Of corn, fodder, peas, &c. We believe they
will yet thank Providence for the lesson taught
them three times since the war; viz: that the pros,
perity of the country does not depend upon big
crop of cotton.

THE CHARLESTON RING.

The mighty war between Pillsbury and the house
of Mackey still RACES fercely in the city council of
Charleston. The cases of the three aldermen
whose seats are contested have not been decided
yet, and they continue to grace the council board
The latest phase of the contest was plan OF the
majority to- prevent meetings. If they all staid
away, there could be no quorum for business
Pillsbury, however, succeeded by some unknown
gentle influences, in enticing two or three of the
majority from their allegiance. These, Joined with
his own adherents, gave him enough to hold a
meeting, and the tactics of the opposition changed
If meeting must be held, it was essential that the
opposition be present. They came, moved an ad-
journment and carried it.
As we are getting tired of this farce, we will
drop the subject, to be taken up no more unless
something unusually rich transpires. The Homer
who is to sing this battle of the frogs and mice has
not yet arisen, and till he appears we are content
to leave its exploits unrecorded.

THE SWITCH QUESTION.

A circular is passing around IN New York, tor
the signature of teachers which sets forth that the
sgners believe it impossible to maintain discipline
in their schools, without the use of the rod. Their
experience confirms the declarations of the wisest
man that ever lived, who has left on record many
endorsements of the value of this ancient nstru-
ment.
This is a question in which the rising genera
ton is intensely interested, and their parents too,
but in different way. Boys see no beauty in a
simple sprout gathered at random, nor do they at
all admire the elasticity with which plays around
their bodies. But in after years, when they have
grown into active and useful men, most Of them
can look back upon one or two particular whip
pings, and clearly see that they were greatly bene-
fitted thereby. Then they will know that the rod
was good for them as medicine in time of sickness.
Nor are the subjects of the rod the only benei-
ciaries of its virtues. Parents who use it when
needed save themselves much trouble in the fu-
ture training of their children and sometimes from
shame and disgrace when those children have
grown up Disgrace through the children's mis-
conduct, and shame in the thought that they 1.-THE
parents) might have prevented it by correction at
the proper time They learn, when too late, the
lesson that young twig may be turned to grow in
any direction, while full grown tree will break
before it can be bent at all.
The experiment of dispensing with the rod has
often been tried In our day several States Of this
Union have enacted laws against such punishment,
even in schools. The great moral idea that whip
ping is cruel and degrading has prevailed exten'
sivey. But as often as the world takes up this
idea, just so often is it forced by few years ex-
perience to give it up. The instance given above,
of the New York teachers, is but one Of many.
Teachers everywhere find they cannot govern a
set of youngsters, reckless and full Of mischief,
without the power to infict corporal punishment.
1t may not be necessary to use this power at all,
in some instances but the boys must know that it
can and will be used in case of need.
This question will not suffer from agitation.
Not only in the schoolroom, but in the family, the
rod of correction, authorized and commanded by
scripture has been goi. out Of use. The conse-
quence is that the land is afflicted with not few
who regard all the restraints of law merely curbs
put upon them, which they have right to throw
off whenever they can do so with impunity. To
this same cause can be traced most of the wild no.
tions Of liberty which led to the overthrow Of the
old Union. Men who, when boys were subjected
to no restraint, learned to think that the true and

ARIEL WRONG AFTER ALL

We have been eliably informed that the reDark-
able cure of bad cold, mentioned last yeek, was
not effected by "Cattle Powders, as we had heard,
but by Dorer's Ro,caers. The argument in favor
of Ariels theory, based upon this case, therefore
falls to the ground. e..
Nevertheless we still think cattle powders would
have been the proper medicine, if the object in
view is remembered. These powders, it is said,
are very beneficial to hide-bouud animals, aud
those whose hides do not part with their hair
readily in the Spring Now the patient in this
instance was undoubtedly pufed up considerably,
and thought he had been going for some time,
and the druggist only wanted to make bin shed,
apx thus preserve his life and personal identity.

HYMEN IN A CoRN-FELD.-A friend in Burke
writes us that old Parson F. A. Dorsey who lives
near Gilboa Church in that county, and who at
tends to pretty nearly all the Church work Of that
parish, such as splicing the single, baptsing the
babies, and burying the dead; was ploughing in
his corn-fed on the 10th ulimo when he was
stopped in one of the eorn.rows by the approach
of a couple who seemed to be in great hurry
about something. The pair turned out to be Mr.
Jonathan NJ Hines, aged SO years, and Miss -Eliz-
abeth Crawley, aged 20, who intimated their de-
sire to be married just as quick as our bucohe par;
son could do the delicate job. All right, said
the parson, "Ill tie Dobbin to the fence, and then
ws,kgo up to the house, and III do it up decently
6r you" "No, no, replied the anxious swain,
"we' We no time to 60 to the house; You can say
all you We got to say right here" Accordingly the
accommodating preacher, called up a couple Of
lads, who were hoeng corn near by, to witness the
hymenial scene, and proceeded to turn the loving
twain into one, with all the solemnity Of 2 bishop,
concluding the ceremony with the beautiful and
we'll known words of the poet: THAT'S all! now,
20 back to your hoes, boys-come round here,
Dobbin, and get up!-Good bye, folks's - :,
We have heard of marriages having been SOL
emnized in many strange places, but this is the
first time we ever heard of one in corn.6eld.

Mr.. Editor You will have had the result Of
the County Election ere this reaches you, in which
it will be seen that San Tue, at this election, has
made the river the boundary for making the Coun:
ty Commissioner. : -.
An election was ordered for Coroner, also, but
there were no candidates, and we were made the
recipient here of all the dignity Of Coroners po-
sition Now the affairs of government must go
on let whomsoever die that may, and suppose we
must accept the posish Of inquesting the dead in
the spirit Of advancing the public ,oeali Well,
we always thought there would be no luck at our
house unless somebody died! We are told that
the State Constitution makes an inquest held on
the high Sheriff paying one! Looking hopeful
ly ahead for the country's veal in case everybody
should die, we should claim it as constitutional
provision for the Presidential vacancy! Why not
The first eaics of the English Magma Charts is

an inquest on the old constitution, and implicate
almost everybody. Besides, Medical Colleges
should vote us an annuity when We at over the
demise Of patients where NJ, D's have not the
proper credentials Look out ye, Dr.. Panaceas.
But let him laugh who wins. 40. ... ..,.,,.,
Now, Rock Hill has. been in laughing mood
since the election, which has been followed up BY
travelingshow Of fun, mirth, wonders, tricks, &C.
The ayant courers, in flaming hand-bills, set all
the youth in ecstacy to see the sight that please
them most; while the village was plastered al over
with attractive devices, giving it the appearance
Of one grand menagerie. There was one Professor
of Snosselalupnacirema-that includes the whole
batch of educated animals of Noah's coIege-ex.
hibited shoo of feats with Professors, pony; and
dog canine tricks by Prof. Jack, who exhibited
thermometrical pla y for any latitude in q truly
loiI' proposition, were received By the freedmen
with 5ogs:terous ejack.ulations Of mirth. 1t was
difficult to determine whether they were laughing
for wages or part Of the erqpl b.. = n.
A little incident occurred that may be noted in
passing. As part of the show was free, one Of the
Professors, on grounds Of reciprocity, thought
everything was free, and exercised q choice Of q
neighbor's horse hitched near, which he rode off,
but returned soon after to the owner, who made
no other charge than damages, as they had velo-
cipede. along of their own. We.do not Know how
it was settled presume our officials may have let
it pass as an outside trick of lel,Aer,denaneL
As we got no tender of service ticket, by what
we. say here we neither impugn itinerant pecula-
ton Of professional impostors nor set down aught
in''-praise. To children who have never seen
such sights their time is worth the fun, and with
a peep around the show canvass the cold phlegm-
attic misanthrope can learn that there is yet some
good in man. D., =. .....,. ..... g. J. B. {,
