ss~AHEAD OFTHE NORTH.

In many things the North has for q long
time been ahead of the South, merely becsuse
our people have neglected their natural ADJ
rantages. In nothing was this more palpa-

Sashcs. blinds, mouldinss, &c. This vas no
ticed by Mr.. p 2. foale, an enterprising

Ealuda Old Town Meeting. Be.

Much to our regret we we're prevented
attending the meeting at the above place
en- Monday, Quito number from the
town wcat, howcver-white and col
ored, and the opinion is unanimous
that the speakers, Gen. Butler, Gen. Her
shaw, Col. Youmans and others did the
State good service. All honor to the noble
band. We are told that the number Of
colored people present was not so large
US might have been, (and theirs is the
Joss more than ours); but tn q .
coodly number were present is evidence
that there are sensible colorcd men in
the County, who are not afraid Of the
hocus pocus of the League, and who
dare to show that they are frccmcn in
reality. The good work is surely progress
ing. Let US helpl. on fellow citizens,
white and black, till the State is purscd
OF :ne vile crew, the miserable hounds
who would kill out every interest Of the
common good.
1t is gratifying to know that the day
passed off harmoniously, the only regret
being the indiSposition of Judge Carpen-
ter, who was prevented from being pres
ent. Though absent TOW at this impor-
tant juncturc we trust he will have ano-
thcr opportunity of giving the people Of
Ncwbcrry good talk, in the meantime
the battle is in good hands and will suf.
fer no detriment.
Late in the afternoon the train return
ed to town with the speakers and the
enthusiastic crowd of citizens who went
up in the morning, beside many others
who came down to enjoy the Wadling-
ton Cross Roads meeting. To the regret
of our citizens, as the train reached the
depot, a storm of wind and rain came on
which lasted until night. This did not
stop

-GLy LEAGUE DEMoHsTRATIoS.--We

morning, which conveyed parties to Saluda

necessity of repeating il, that the very re-
spectacle, decent and quiet crowd of colored
citizens who took the train on that occasion,
to participate in the meeting, were hooted at,
'cuscd and threatened, by large radical
gathering, assembled for the vain npurpose Of
dissuading by intimidation, the good, hon

Party. We are happy to state that the effort
did not succeed, and that the League cmtssa-

are, so long as you keep with the party, but
slaves will you be if you follow the League;

The Abbcrille Press and Banner, speaks
thus complimentary Of the address delivered
by Rev. Z. R. Miles, Of St. Lakes, Ncwbery,
before the Abbevillo Bible Society on We'd
nesday last, being the occasion Of its Attn
anniversary:
The address was truly an elaborate and
ornate production, displaying the fruits Of
extended research, as well as Of wide and
varied culture. The history Of the English
Bible, was the interesting theme in which by
turns-the collation. and preservation Of the
old Jewish Canon-thc translation of the
Septuagint- origin Of the New Testa-
ment-the preservation Of the Ale1sndrine,
Vatican and Sinaitic manuscripts-thc histo-
ry Of the English version-the growth of
heresy- furnished the topics Of eloquent
thought expressed in ornate polished diction:
A better address could not have been well
compressed in the same space Of time.

sprang from an alley, closely followed by
five cent brick. Rounding the corner
at right angles, be came in contact with
the feet of Dutch woman, who was

and basket Of eggs in the other. The
Sudden collision of the dog with her low

and she sat down upon the basket of eggs
at the same time breaking the jug of mo-
lasses upon the pavement. A young
man, carpet bag in hand, anxious to
catch the train was running close behind,
and, stepping on the fragments of the
jug and its contents, sat down on the
chest of the dutch woman, who said
"Mein Colt" The young man said some-
thing about mad dog hut in the excite
ment he said it back wards. In the mean
time the dog had run against the feet of
q team Of horses, attached to a load of
potatoes, and they taking fright, started
for home. The end board being out,
they unloaded the potatoes along the
street ms they went. Crossing the rail-
road track, the wagon caught in the rails
and tore one of them from its place. A
freight train coming along few mo-
ments later, was thrown from the track,
smashing up "a dozen cars and killing thirty
or forty hogs. The horses on reaching
home ran through the barn yard and
overturned milk pail and contents,

One of the horses having broken his leg

How the Dead Prussian Soldiers ar,

a Berlin letter in the London TeIe-
graph says: Mark one instance of the
German practical spirit as a proof of the
fashion after which these Teutons prepare
TO fight. 10 recent wars popular feeling
has demanded that rank and lie, captains
and generals, shall be equally and i'm
partially mentioned in the lists of The
slain; but difficulties have arisen, because
the enemy cannot know the dead mems
names, and, when the muster roll is call
ed after battle, the missing may be only
wounded or prisoners. Germany has,
in her solid, calm manner, arranged, in
view of this difficulty, that each wife and
mother shall speedily know the best or
the worst Of those who 60 to fight" with
God, for King, and Fatherland." Slips
of parchment, like luggage labels, have
been prepared, on which the name of
each German soldier is plainly written,
and one Of these will be fastened inside
his coat when he goes in for action. AT
ter the day is decided, the enemy, if he
be master of the field, will be requested
TO collect and return these labels, of which
about million have been provided,
grim tickets for an unknown journey !
Think of the German wife or mother
