q It is said that there is no phvsi-
cal suffering SO great as dying from
thirst. Soldiers on the battlefield
will risk their lives often in cross

get drink of water. There is no
substance that can give relief--no
luxury but would gladly be ex-
changed for a cup of cold water by
one who is thus perishing..

brief Coming to town one day lately,
I learned that I had fallen about thirty
degrees in the estimation of the public
officers, because l had unwittingly be-
rated the Judge of Probate for being
absent from his Office, when that dis
tinguished functionary had been flat on
his back for the space of two weeks,
entertaining that very sociable compan-
ion, chills. Now, if I had been in
formed of the true state of the case, 1t
is likely, I would not have shaken the
Judge so severely, inasmuch as it is to
be hoped the chills had done that job
for him, in satisfactory manner, but
as I was ignorant as to the facts, [ did
endeavor to stir him up. I am glad to
see that something has caused the Judge
to don again the judicial robe, and

This gay and festive entertainment
which was to have been had last week,
but was postponed on account of the
weather, and which was to have GER
taiuly taken place sou last Tuesday
night, but was not by reason of the
rain, seems destined to be kept in abey-
ancc for some considerable reriod, from
the same cauSe-but, as We commenced
to say, on Tuesday night, we seized our
umbrella and overcoat, and sailed
forth to the ball, although Jupiter
Pluvius seemed to be chrouicaliy weep
ing or in a maudlin state Of imbecile
Mysteries, so continuous the pouring of
the rain. 1t is needless to say that 1t
was dark, for the first thing knew,
our "umberip' became entangled with
somebody's ditto, and after severe
and hand to hand conflict, we emerged
with the handle and piece of the rib
of ours, with which We pursued our
way. After wading through what
seemed to be inland seas, VIC saw q
light at the Hall, and heard dulcet
strains Of music from the same locality,
but upon arriving at that point we
learned that. there would be no ball.
But let not our brave fremen be dis
comftted, for as they some times get
ahead of fire by means of water, they
should not object to the water getting
ahead Of them occasionally. Turn
about is fair play, the world over.

divided in its reports. They also say
that they would have voted in favor OF
a new election, inasmuch as they be-
licvcd the election was proven to be
illegally carried out.
1t is surmised that the Spartanhurg
delegation will meet the same fate. All
this has been done on strict, party prin'
ciplcs. We will rccollcct all this when
the wheel of fortune rolls round and
drops some of the filth and corruption
which clings to it now. We will
affiliate with a party that upholds such
actions, won't we?

struction between his-city aud Sumter,
will be pushed forward with all possible
dispatch, and that it is the intention Of
those controlling it, to have trains on
the road before midsummer. This is
good news, if only true, as We trust it is
COL sBridgers is a thorough rail road
man, and when he once fixes upon a
thing he generally accomplishes it.
This road will bring Sumter within two
hours ride of the State. Capital, aud
will open up for settlers much good
land, now comparatively worthless, on
account of itsinaccessibility. Property
in that section ought to increase in val
ue very materially, just as soon as the
first evidence is manifested that trains
will be put upon the road. 1t is a long,
roundabout way to Sumter by the pres
ent route, and We are not surprised at
the small amount of travel from that
quarter.

Rural CarOlinian, February.

No agricultural magazine, from any
part Of the country, prints monthly so
much matter of direct home interest to
the Southern planter and farmer as the
Rural Caroliniaa. Its contributors
are mostly Southern planters of large
practical experience, such as Aiken,
Pendleton, Graves, Jones, Wilkes and
Berskmans and other equally familiar
names, and contributors from abroad
are very distinguished men in their
special line, as Dreer, Of Philadelphia,
Dodge, of Washington, and Commits.
sioner Rivet. Carnac, of British India.
The present number is no exception tc
the rule. Pendleton's exposure ol
Ville's theory Of farming without ma
nurc, Aiken's second paper on South
crn stock farming, and several first
rate papers from various planters on
experiments with commercial fertilizers
will be read with interest by all en-
gagged in rural pursuits.

s:Pi,ilOHafll.''

Our correspondent "Philomath" de-
sires to hear our views on the subject
Of a reading room, to be established in
Camden, by the young men of our COM
munity. While we cheerfully comply
with the request, we feel great diff
dcnce in expressing an opinion, not
that it will carry great weight with it,
but because our experience in such
matters has been limited.
But to proceed. In the first place,
we cannot muster more than twenty
young men, who would embark in
the enterprise-we would necessarily
be compelled to rent at least two rooms,
which would cost at least, per annum,
800; a man to keep it in order, and
so on, $4,000 lights, fuel and writing
materials, s16O; furniture, (chairs,
tables, &c.) $50; ten first class journals
and periodicals, sl0O; sundry other
expenses, s25; making total, per an'
mum of S435.
On an annual outlay on The part Of
each member of about twenty-five
dollars. The next consideration, is,
whether or not, with the sum of S22,
each member of the club could pur-
chase more brain food, and digest it
better in the quiet of his own home
circle, than in the club.room
The third question, is, what would
the patcrnal or maternal ancestor, or
the connubial partner, say to the pro-
posed arrangement?
The fourth and most weighty consid
GRAFTON, is, whether the young men are
pecuniarily able to spare the above sum
now in this time Of ruin and poverty !
We would say that man of family
could ill afford to do it, since twenty
two dollars would keep him in shoes
for year, or buy suit of clothes, or
pay some of the numerous items of ez'
penditure which are absolutely neces.
sary.
But we would like to hear the matter
discussed in detail, and offer our col
umus to any one interested. We are
always ready to hear argument, and d.
not oppose conviction. Probably,
"Philomath" may again drive his quill
in favor Of his proposition, and provoke
an interesting discussion. Quien saOe z

A VALUABLE SANDwIcu-At St,
Johns N. B., few nights ago, there
was very happy gathering of the
members and congregation Of Leinster-
street Baptist Church. The Telegraph
says that u very fine supper, embracing
all the requirements of the appetite in-
cluded between cold turkey and hot
coffee, was prepared. Grace was said
by the pastor, Rev. W. S. MCKENZIE,
at half.past seven, after which blue
rosetted committee of eight young
gentlemen passed the refreshments
around among the seated assembly. A
little girl, Miss IDA GERow, carried a
sandwich to Rev. Mr.. McKEZIE,
which looked suspiciously thick, and
was constructed with more than the
usual number oflayers A paper on the
first layer bore the inscription, "a
sandwich for our pastor, from his
loved and loving people," Beneath
the first slice nestled four S5 gold
pieces, which were duly pockcted;
another slice, and there, a $50 piece,
and another slice revealed another SIC
bill. The recipient was too full for
utterance-he could get the cash to
his pocket, but he could not eat the
sandwich. -. ....

SaIeSIay.

Last Monday was ushercd in gloomy,
wet and very cold, and consequently
very few persons besides those immcdi-
diatcly interested, came to town. The
pressure Of hard times was very evident
from the exceedingly low prices OF
property.
The principal sales were made on
very easy terms, cash enough to pay
expenses of sale and costs, the balance
in one, two and three years. The sales
were as follows:
One tract of land 357 acres, NJ. Baum
purchaser, sl750.00; one tract sand
hill land 200 acres, w. NJ. Shannon,
Trustee, for Creditors purchaser, Sloo;
sNne tract 201 acres, j. B. Kershaw
Trustee for Creditors, purchaser, S795;
one tract 200 acres, W. NJ. Shannon
Trustee, $4,000; one tract 200 acres,
bought by the same party, $500; one
tract o.! acres, woodland, same pur-
chaser, $500.
About 2,400 acres of sand hill land'
some of it very good, brought Sl275.OO
1t is very evident that there is no
market for real estate, at this time, as
the same lands, year ago, would have
brought twice as much,
The Sheriff sold some mules and
horses, under mortgage, at very low
priccs, from $50 to 500 cash.

More IEigil-IEandod Tyranny.

Although stripped Of nearly all that
once was ours: though Injured to op.
preston and accustomed to every spc-
cies Of tyraunical legislation, We are
thankful to say that we are still free to
express our opinion, as well as shocked
to find that the calendar of iniquity is
not yet exhausted.
We refer to the ousting Of NIcssrs.
Hough and Evans from their seats as
Representatives of Chesterfield, Reform
crs; and seating Little6eld and Single
ton, Republicans.
The majority report was favorable to
Messrs. Hough and Evans, and stated
that "there was no intimidation used,
and if there was, it could not have been
to such an extent as to alter the votes
polled." The minority report, submitted
by Jeryey, Whippcr, Lee and Levy,
states that intimidation was used, and
20 on to say that supplementary re-
port which was filed by the managers
of election at one of the precincts, was
unknown to tie law, and therefore that
the Reformers should be ousted. Was
ever such reasoning or such logic used
Can not any Que see that this supple
mentary report with its accompanying
afIidavits, was an after thought, and
got up for the express purpose for
which it has been used ? Can any be
so blind as not to perceive that those
who made this minority report knew
when they made it, that it would be
sustained in defiance of all and prece-
dents?
Three members of the House, Re-
publicans, entered protest on the
Journal, saying that they voted "no,"
on the resolution to seat Littlcfield and
Singleton, as the Board of State can
vassers had decided in favor of Mcssrs.

The CENSUS AND THE SOUTH.
The following extract from the New
York Sun, q Republican paper, speaks
volumes of truth, and is worthy the
consideration of the extremists in Con-
gress who are endeavoring to infict
uron Southern States further military
rule: The increase ofthc population
in the whole Union during the past ten
years has surpassed the public expeota-
ton. This is especially true of the in
crease in the former slave holding States.
1t was very generally believed, because
ofthe manifold calamlties springing from
the war which had swept over those
States, and of the uphcaval of the foun-
dations of society therein by the sudden
emancipation of theirslaves, that at least
there had been no increase Of population
in that portion of The Union, and that it
would be remarkable if it had even
held its own. The census, however,
reveals the gratifying fact that those
States now have, in round numbers,
one million six hundred thousand more
people than they had ten years ago,
the aggregate of increase being about
thirteen and half per cent.
"Since the war there has been some
immigration into the South from the
North but both during the war and
since its close there has been probably
an equal amount of emigration from
the South to the North, while through
out the last ten years there has been
very little emigration to the Sonth from
foreign countries. This advance of
more than a million and half is, there
fore, due to the natural increase of
population in the former s!aveholding
States, notwithstanding the calamities
of the war and the disturbing inauen-
ccs of emancipation.
"These facts show a wonderful de-
gree Of recuperative energy in the
Southern States, and tend powerfully
to prove. that if Congress will promptly
give general amnesty to their people,
and the administration will withdraw
its coercive bayohets, and put those
States upon their. good behaviour, an
unprecedented career of prosperity lies
open to that long depressed portion of
country. II hardly admits of a doubt,
that the harsh policy pursued by Gen.
Grants administration toward the South
has inhumcd rather than quieted the
old ruling elements, while it has Ger.
tainly undermined the supremacy OF
the Republican party there. Those
States, it should be remembered, hold
in their hands the dccisioseot the next
Presidential contest"

THE EFFECT OF TIE FALL OF PARIS
UPON BUSINESS IN New YoRK.-The
Daily Bulletin, of Tuesday, says:
Contrary to the expectations, the
capitulation Of the French Capital has
been received by the commercial COM
munity of this city, likely to be effect
cd directly or indirectly thereby, in a
very calm manner, and in scarcely any
article of merchandise so We find any
unusual amount Of excitement, or the
sudden increase Of values predicted !;
indeed in some cases the cost lf goods
has actually declined, and to our ccr-
tain knowledge shippers who were sup
posed to be on the look out for invoices
TO send abroad, such as provisions, etc I,
have been selling out supplies already
secured. The truth is, the surrender
of Paris has been a forcgone conclusion
for many days past, and the effect in
most cases undoubtedly fully discount
ed, while it is also better known that
immense stores of goods already accu-
mulated at various points in Europe
which must be distributed before fresh
orders are likely to come to hand
Provisions were thought to be sure
trump, but aside from little call for
bacon, at former prices, and two or
three sales Of Prime Mess Pork at
lower prices, there was no demand ex.
ccpt the usual speculative movement
in Mess Pork at the end of the month,
and Lard was not only lower, but
closed decidedly heavy. Brcadstuffs
were little steamy, but the confidence
was almost entirely on the side Of the
sellers, and the amount of business real
ly accomplished was not very large
On Cotton, however, the course of the
market was most surprising, even to the
most persistent "bears," the position
showing no strength, and closing with
sales almost impossible, except at a
decline, and the trade generally simply
astonished at the continued magnitude
of the receipts at the ports, the aggre-
gate today reaching about $4,000 bales.
On Coffee and sugar holders were
little more confident in view of small
stocks at present available, and the
probability that Europe will soon call
for increased supplies. A little time
may change the affairs in some instan
ees, but spectators for rise have GER
tuiuly not met with the success antici-
pated Immediately upon peace in Eu-
rope becoming pretty well assured.
