GPAru1ToUs ADvERTrsING.-The Chester
Reporter and the Columbia Guardian are ma
king inquiries after one DR.. CLARK, No 10
Amity Street, New York, who is advertising
his London Remedies" in nearly all of our
exchanges. The DR.. fails to respond when
asked for money, and as payment never entered
into his calculations, we presume that he is
nowise concerned about the gratuitous adver-
tisements of our brethren We observe that
the Christian Meiyhbor advertises firm styled
NJ. O'KEEFE & Son, (seedmcn,) Rochester, n.
Y, which concern has mulcted that worthy
journal to the amount of S170O for advertising.
These gentlemen likewise refuse to answer
when invited to settle their indebtedness.
Such eases are excessively provoking to a
publisher but there is remedy for that class
of diseases, far superior to the London Remedies.
1t is not patented, either, and costs absolutely
nothing. 1t consists in maintaining an "armcd
neutrality" towards every establishment propo-
sing to advertise, unless satisfactory references
are given, or money paid in advance. We have
long since adopted this rule, and would urge
the proprietors of newspapers, in this State es-
pecialIy. to keep aloof from ''cntangling alli-
ances" with Northern advertisers, where they
are not fally satisfied as to an ability and viii
lingness to pay the printer. BY the way, have
any of our contemporaries been paid for advcr-
tising "Koskoo"? We have q proposition
under advisement and would like to know.

The NIcKERsoN HoUsE.-Having recently
visited Columbia, we desire to say word in
behalf of "mine host" WRIGHT, The genial and
popular proprietor of the Nickerson House.
one of the most delightful hotels in the State.
The neat apd airy rooms, the wcl-supplied ia
BILE, and accommodating disposition of Mr..
WRIGHT amply compensate a traveller for the
triling inconvenience of its location. In fact,
when the duties of the day arc accomplished,
one feels refreshed and relieved to enter such a
quiet and well-ordcred establishment, and is
made forgetful of the fact that there is busy
world outside. We cordially recommend the
Nickerson House to our friends

An ERRONEOUS IMPREssIoN.-It is not
true that any portion of the citizens of Ander-
son intend to petition the next Legislature for
a change of name to HARRIs-burg Evident
ly, such reports are set afoat by enyious and
prejudiced persons, who, are unwilling to give
due credit to the energy, enterprise and sagac-
ity of Andersonians We would advise them
not to bear false witness against their neigh
bors, nor to. covet the prosperity of Others.

BOARD OF HEALTH.-At recent meeting of
the Town Council, the following gentlemen
were constituted Board of Health for the
town of Anderson: Dr. THos. A. EvINs, B.
F. GRAFTON, R. S. HILL, THos. NJ. WHITE
and DR.. w. II. NARDIN. Any persons being
cognizant of nuisances, such as are detrimental
to the health of the town, would render public
service by reporting the same to any member
of the Board.

OBsEoUIEs OF DICKENs.-Any information
about the death and burial of the great author,
who is mourned OH both sides of the Atlantic
with equal sincerity, will prove interesting
now. His immediate friends were at first un-
decided where to bury him. Some years ago
he expressed fancy to be laid in an old grave
ward at Rochester, which has since been closed.
Hence, it was finally determined that West
minister Abbey should receive the remains,
and on Tuesday morning the intermcnt took
place. The funeral was entirely private, and,
as 10 intimation Of it had reached the public
ear, no crowd was collected at the London sta
ton on the arrival of the funeral train from
Gad's Hill. Three coaches carried the mourn
ing party to the venerable pile, where the re-
mains were received by the Dean of Wcstmin-
placed in the Poets Corner, at TIE foot Of
HANDEL and at the head of SHERIDAN, with
MAcAULEY and CUMBERLAND OH either side
fitting rcsting-placc for the great departed.
Flowers were strewn upon the bier, after which
the burial service was read, and the funeral of
CHARLES DICKENS was ended. After the Ger
emonics, thousands of citizens crowded to the
spot where tic illustrious novelist rests from
his labors.
The following gem from the writings of
DICKENS has been alloat on the sea of jour
nalism for some time past. 1t was beautiful
before the worlds recent bereavement makes
it sadly appropriate and touching now:
''Therc is nothing-no, nothing beautiful
and good that dies and is forgotten. An in
FAINT, prattling child, dying in its cradle, will
live again in the better thoughts of those who
loved it, and play its part, though its body be
burned to ashes or buried in the deepest sea.
There is not an angel added to the hosts of
heaven but does its blessed work ON earth in
those who loved it here. Dead! Oh, if the
good deeds of human creatures could be traced
to their source, how beautiful would even
death appear! for how much charity, mercy
and purified affection would be seen to have
their growth in dusty graves"

Nomination.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is important that the peo-
pie of the Third Congressional District should
begin to look around them for the most suita-
bic and available person to represent them in
the next Congress of the United States. Pre-
sllming that Convention will be assembled
for the purpose of selecting candidate, as the
choice of the conservative voters, l desire to
suggest for the consideration of those interest
cd the name of gallant citizen of Edgcfield,
Mai. WM. T. GARY. He is young man OF
decided ability, resolutc bearing and sterling
worth. and would do credit as Representative
to his constituents. Maj. GARY is not disqual-
flied under the Fourteenth Amendment and l
feel satisfied that lie comes under that class of
fair, honest and Independent citizens who
would find no difficulty in obtaining the re-
moval of technical disabilities. He is ez-
trcmely popular as a citizen of Edgefcld, and
his bold, vigorous and manly course on qucs-
tons arising under the existing state of public
affairs, commends him to the support and con-
fdencc OF the people of this Congressional
District. Therefore, l suggest his name as
worthy of the highest consideration by the
Convention alluded to, if such an one is held
and in the event that there is none, beg leave
to nominate him as an Independent candidate,
trusting that he will go before the people upon
his individual merits, and receive their warm
est encouragement and support.

thought proper, in the meantime, to make this
that all doubts on the score of
his acceptance might be at once and finally set
at rest.

KNOCKING FOR ADMIssIoN.--It will be seen
from the annexed Congressional proceedings of
last Saturday, that WHIrTEMoEE has knocked
for admission, and meets with serious opposi-
ton. His friend LOGAN is a considerable bar
ricr to his hopes and aspirations:
The Speaker laid before the House the cred
entails of b. L. Whittcmorc, member elect from
South Carolina Logan objected to swearing
in the person claiming to represent the State OF
South Carolina, under these credentials. Farms
worth suggested that the case be referred to the
Committee on Elections. Logan did not want
the case to 90 to the committee. The individ-
ual had disgraccd himself, and the journal OF
the House so expressed it and it was qucs-
ton for the House to decide for itself Farms
worth insisted that it ought to GO to the COM
mittcc Logan said he did not wish it to go to
the committee, to be pocketed till after Con-
gross adjourned; he wanted the question settled
now the election was not conteStcd-oniy the
question was, whether the House would admit
him. Farnsworth could not see how the House
could act, without IL report to go upon; there
was no official record true, members rcmem-
bcrcd the proceedings some weeks ago, but they
could not go upon that Logan said, to refer
it was to treat the case with more consideration
than it deserved the House was familiar with
all the facts, and it was a mere question wheth-
er they would allow him to occupy scat in this
Congress; whether they would stand by what
their own moral sense, and the sense of the
people prompted them to do; he moved the case
be postponed to Tuesday next, after morning
hour agreed to. Garfield offered resolution,
that when a member is expelled or resigns,
pending q resolution of expulsion, the case
should be referred to the committee in which
the resolution of expulsion was considered.
Referred to Committee on Rules.

/. Dispatches received at st. Albans
Thursday evening announce that the Fee
mans from Malone marched on Hunting
ton, Canada, this afternoon, and now hold
the town with force Of $4,000 men,
and reinforcements were arriving con-
stantly.
The most intense excitement prevails
here this evening. All manners Of ru-
mors and speculations are current. Most
of the Fenians who came from Franklin,
have left this place for their homes or
Malone.
About two hundred U. S. regulars
passed through here this evening for Ma
lone. About as many Fenians on the
same train. A big fight is expected near
Huntington on Saturday. Gen. Spear
and other prominent Fenian officers are
in town and held council of war this
evening Every effort is being made to
check the return home of all stragglers
and to send them to the main body Of
troops.
Company G., 18th Z. s. Battery, from
Plattsburgh, A officers and men under
command of Gen. Richard Arnold, en-.
camped in the Park last evening, where
they will be likely to remain till all the
Fenians get away. This afternoon Cos

@ The second Fenan invasion of the
Canadian Dominion like the first, proved
an unmitigated fzzle within week of its
origin. The troops, a hundred or so in
number, marched up the hill and down
again according to the old story. They
put on a bold front marched up to an
imaginary line, fired their muskets, and
retired in the greatest confusion. The
commander very wisely secured his own
capture by a friendly foe, and the fasco
was ended. The history Of the movement
at Franklin repeated would answer for
their exploits on the Malone border.
Two or three men sacrificed to their own
foolishness is the only result. The move.
ment has been to insignificant even to en-
force lesson upon the disciples of stupi.
dity. The only dignity it has is in the
newspaper reports, which were evidently
made up for the benefit of a circulation
among people who demand excitements

sensible of the Fenians themselves.

ARRIVAL OF THE U. $. MARSHAL.
U. S. Marshal Foster was informed at
noon Tuesday that Gen. Mcdowell, CON-
handing this department, would come
up to St. Adams to cooperate with him :;
and probably General Mcdowell is in St.
Adams Wednesday morning. A compa.
ny of the 9th United States Artillery un-
der command ofMajor Andrews, at East.
port, Maine, received orders Tuesday af.
ternoon to be in readiness to proceed to
the Canadian frontier at moments no.
tice. The company of the same regiment
stationed at Portland, under command of
Capt. Brewerton, has also received orders
to the SAM fleet
AT III o'clock, Gen George p. Foster,
U. S. Marshal for Vermont, with his dep
uty, Thomas Failey, of St. Adams, in
carriage, arrived upon the scene They
found a guard of Fenians stopping the
passage Of citizens to the front. This the
officers in command were speedily inform
ed by the Marshal, would not do. This
was the public highway and they had no
right to prevent the passage Of any citi-
zen, and the reporters and a number of
citizens passed on With the column. The
Marshal, seeking out General O'Neil, in
formed him OF his authority and of the
Presidents proclamation, and formally
ordered him to desist from his unlawful
proceeding. The order was received by
O'Neil very coolly and with apparent
unconcern
THE FIELD.
The highway at the point Of battle runs
due north on ground which rises imme-
diately from the road on the right or west
side, the hillsidcs being covered with or
chards and occasional patches of wood
land. A valley crosses the road at right
angles, through which runs small stream
known as Pixies River.
Through this valley runs the Canada
line, crossing the road on the south side

north of the brow of the valley, where
stands the brick farm house Of Alva
Richards. Arrived on this brow the Ca
madam militia were plainly to be seen on
the opposite brow, perhaps quarter Of a
mile beyond the line. They skirted a
piece of woods ON the west side of the
road and were posted behind some stone
fences, their line forming a right angle,
giving both direct and flanking fire up
on the road.
THE BATTLE OF PIKE RIVER
Soon opened. O'Neil formed his troors
in line of battle, extending at right angles
across the road, one company being de-
tached to act as skirmishers These re-
ceived their orders from Col. Brown, a
good looking officer in civilian dress, and
wearing Scotch cap, who, taking mus
ket, addressed the company Capt. Gro

The Northern Pacific Railroad Blk has
finally passed the House, without amend.
ment, and it therefore only requires the
signature of the President to become law.
This result was only reached after one of
the most determined and persistent con-
tests that has ever been witnessed in that
body. There have been questions under
consideration which have ELECTED longer
and more bitter discussions, but never one
which was so well fought step by step,
and by steady and determined voting.
The yeas and nays were demanded on
each amendment as it came up in order.
The roll was accordingly called nine times
one day on amendments, and after they
had been successfully disposed of, the
House rejecting each one, three more roll
calls ensued--one on a motion to lay the
bill on the table, one on ordering the bill
to be read third time, and the other on
the passage of the bill. These repeated
roll calls occupied the time of the House
from halfpast eleven until three o'clock,
at which hour precisely the Speaker an
nounced the bill passed by vote of 1O7
to 50. Besides the vote on the passage,
the most important vote was upon the
amendment that the United States Gov.
eminent shall not guaranty the bonds of
the Company. This was rejected by the
close vote Of 80 to so. On all the other
questions the votes arranged from 20 to
