District Agricultural Society.

I. is highly gratifying to US to be able
to state, that considerable interest is be-
ing manifested on the subject Of an Ag-
ricultural Society. During the past
week, and since the last issue Of our pa
per, in which this matter was spoken of,
a number of gentlemen, farmers and
others, have had the subject under con-
sulta,ion, and have expressed them.
selves greatly concerned in reference to
the formation of Socicty Of this kind,
and one which will rebound to the fu-
ture interests of this dl>trict-not only
i'll an agricultural, but in every other
point of view. We are pleased that so
many of our citizens are enlisted in this
good work, and that the idea enter
tanned by our correspondent farmer"
as the reason why no more has before
been made-that 'everybody's bust
ness is nobody's business" will not hold
good in this instance. This is certainly
everybody's business, and though every
one has not yet said or done anything,
vet the number who have, is really
gratifying. Substantial, practical, intel
ligent and influential men are earnestly
enlisted in the cause, and ge look 'or
ward to our first meeting with decided
pleasure, and 10 the time when Newber.
~ shall again have her Agricultural
meetings, Fairs, &C., and be represented
as IN olden times in the State Society.
One of the most favorable signs Of the
times in the improvement of the condi-
tion of our people are the calls for meet
ings of this character which are seen
in the local papers Of the State, and
that many of the districts have already
formed societies.
The State Convention is to meet in
Columbia on the 2Sth inst, where will
be delegates from nearly all the districts
in the State, and after so long an inter-
val, the meeting will be Of highly in
teresting character.
1t is deemed important that meet
ing be held here as early as practicable,
and in furtheraucc of this desirable OBJ
ject, we suggest that it be held in the
Court House on Saturday, the Gath inst,
just before the meeting Of the State Con-
vention, and that a, said meeting, dslc-
gates be appointed to attend the Con-
veution in Columbia. >.....

The Abbeville Enlistments.

A correspondent in Abbeville 10 the
Charleston News thus explains the pres
ent condition of that district, and what
has been done in regard to the negro
militia:
ali went pretty we'll here from the
time of the election until Governor
SCOTS testimony was given in the con-
tested election between Reed and Hoge.
The Abbevile papers published this
testimony and denounced it in such a
way that it threw Scott into transport
of passion. as we are informed. He at
once attempted to have the writ of ma
beas corpus suspended. In that he
failed, but he had a joint resolution
passed authorizing him to raise an armed
force for the purpose of preserving the
peace! ~
This resolution we have never seen. 1t
has not been published as We are aware.
Before, however, we had any idea of the
resolution, or knew what authority had
been given, in ran the negroes, Aocking
to a man here who had been "a consta-
ble" and is now "a magistrate" by the
appointment of Governor Scott. Upon
inquiry this man Gufin (as it is said re-
ported that he had authority from Gov
ernor Scott to raise company Of one
hundred men to keep Abbeville quiet
1t is said that he had enlisted about
fifty negroes, 1--WE have never heard OF
his asking a white man to enlisU when
several g ntlemen Of the village expos.
tutated with him, and he said, he con-
fessed himself that he thought it would
have bad effect, and he promised to
ask Governor Scott to suspend the or
der. among others urged him to do
this. Since that time We have not
heard any thing about it. I have un-
derstood tha, Guttin has declined for
the present the services of great num-
bers OF negroes which have been offered
him. Volunteers at SIS per month are
numerous The thing seems TO be sus,
pended for the present, but | presume
it will be put into operation before an
other election, to dragoon the uncon-
querable opposition Of the people Of this
country.

NEWBERRY, S. G.
Wednesday Morning, April IA, 1869.
In Congress at last.

Solomon L. Hoge, after many ups and
downs, is at last seated, this feat was &C.
complished with the usual fillibustering.
There is consolation in this, that the
Supreme Bench will know him no more,
for when we remember the illustrious
ones who honored that position We must
exclaim that "this Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these" He
is seated in the House of Representa-
tives without the honor Of having been
elected.

SWELLING UP.-A little girl in church
with her mother becoming anxious for the
minister to close, felt relieved as he came to
a pause on concluding his "thirdly," but
when he CAV. signs Of still going on, she
nudged her mother and said, "oh mother,
look, he's SWELLING up TO begin again"
Now, ministers are not the only ones who
swell up to take fresh start; but the swell>
ing to which We nov allude. seems not TO
have the same effect upon people as the miu-
ister's did upon the little girl. In busi>
ness>way it's all right. If anyone has the
curiosity to look into the store of Messrs
Lovelace & Wheeler, they will then see this
swelling VIC are speaking Of. 1t has had The

sahles of life. Swell on gentlemen, and

Memorial Association, Of Lynchburg.
They ask Of the Southern people assist
ance in the good and noble work of
placing monuments over the graves Of
our fathers, brothers and sons, and we
are confident that they will not ask In
vain. We commend it, therefore, to the
attention of our numerous readers, and

The following is the appeal:
TO TIE WOMEN OF TIE SOUTH.

The ladies nf the Confederate Memo
rial Association oc Lvnchbnrg Virginia,
would respectfully call the attention Of
their sisters Of the Southern States to
to the fact, that several thousand soldiers
from the various States are hurled in the
cemetery of that city, and earnestly
solicit their assistance in the work they
have undertaken of erecting suitable
monument to their memory. The Lynch
burg Association has already enclosed
the Cemetery, turfed the graves, and
are now collecting sum to defray
the expense of the monument. The i'm
poveriShed condition Of the people of
Virginia, prevents their caring for the
graves of the Confederate dead who re-
pose in her soil, in the manner they
desire. and theyconfidently appeal to
the women of the South to contribute to
their holy work. Any donations may
be sent to either oflhs undersigned CT
the Association.

the enormous number of Five Millions Of

hath no music in his soul, would hardly no.
iice such an advertisement and there are not
a few men of that character; we have seen
men who object TO pianos. thiuk it waste
of money 10 buy such articles, and q greater
waste TO consume time in playing OH them,
have seen some too, who don't like 'SOrry"-

pass such an advertisement by, with su>
preme Indifference, even though it promised
that box playing siXteen al could De

who are full of mu>ic-lhcy like it in any
shape, from q spaSmodic, aSthmatic single
horn to a full band. Such men are fond Of
muSic-boxes, there is always one to be
found in their houses, and they never let

one of Mr. Grandlars sixteen air 81 boxes.
Several others did, however, and we are sor>

music ever since. Several two dollar bills
were sent, and in due time, their moneys
worth didn't come. Each man and woman
received d double TERED or sixteen holed
