James Newton, was found in the dock,
yesterday afternoon, near the smack,

on the wharf much intoxicated. He was
asked several times to go aboard, but he
would not do so, and crouched near a

while, one OF the sailors went to try and
induce him to como aboard, but could
not find him. m.-Charlesfon Courier.

hIR EDITOR: see there has been se-
veral houses from Charleston, who have
removed their entire stocks Of goods to
this city, on account OF the appearance
ofyellow fever there. think it is an ad.
mirable idea, especially for those who
have laid in large stocks to supply their
interior trade, to bring their stocks here
and invite their friends to meet them in
this healthy place and lay in their fall
supply. Our merchants. too, have laid
in large stocks, aud arc ,sble to sell as
chenp and OH rs good time as any other
jobbing city.
Mr.. Editor, predict, from present ap-
pearanocs. that ere long this city will do
q large jobbing trade; in faot, there is
now dong considerable Wholesale
trade here, but there is good prospect
Of II largo increase.

South CAROLINA Under this head
the New York Journal Of Commerce says:
pain publishes decree OF nm nesty.
1t applies to al political offences. The
preamble Of the document recites thnt
the Spanish Government is we'll aware
OF the powerlcssness of it's adversaries.
nnd Of it's own ability to suppress all re-
volts. And SPUN does this before the
throes Of revolution have entirely sub
sided, whiie Cariists aud Republicans
are known to be actively plotting to
overthrow the Government, aud assns-
sins nro lying in ambush to shoot tho
King. At the same time that Spain is
acting thus sagaciously and mugnani-
nously, reports reach ns from Washing
ton that martial law is about to be pro-
claimed in certain Counties Of South
Carolina Senator Scott, from Pennayl.
vania. Chairman of Tho Congressional
Ku Klux Committee, has declared such
measure necessary, and asked the Pre-
sident to authorize it, and this, it is said,
tue President will do. If state of law.
lessness prevailed in any part of South
Carolina, which could be removed only
by the Federal nrm. such course might
be necessary, and would at least be
sanctioned by law. But no evidence of
any such present condition of things is
now before the country. Senator Scott's
committee have turned up many in
stances Of Ku Kluxism perpetrated by
white md black outlaws in south Caro-
lima; but those wa supposed were matters
OF the past. Nothing seems to be going
on now in that State which demands the
Intervention of the Presidents bayonets;
aud surely Senator Scott does not have
the effrontery tn ask that South Carolina
shall be punished this fall for offences
committed Inst January! unless it can
be shown that the South Carolina of to-
duy cannot be quieted without applying
the force bill, lis application will con-
trast most unpleasantIy with the more
generous treatment of the political op-
position practiced by tho Government of

1t gives me pleasure to announce to
my friends and patrons that Col. j. p.
Thomas, OF Columbia. 3. O., will be as.
sooiated with me on tho 1st Of January,
1872, as coprincipal of the Kings Noun
tain Military School. Truly grateful for
the liberal patronage which the school
has received in the past, solicit con-
tinuation OF the same, with full conf
denoe in our ability aud determination
to make the institution worthy of the
State and of the South.
A. COWARD,
Principal and Proprietor"
In view of its public character, the
undersigned feels warranted in thus an
nounoing the enterprise in which he pro-
poses to embark. He has accepted the
invitation OF Col. Coward. to unite with
him in the management of the military
institution at Yorkville, long and favora-
bly, known as the Kings Mountain Mill
tary School.
The State Military Academy of South
Carolina. in the past, offered advantages
Of which the people of South Carolina
largely and proftably availed them
selves. The training and education
which TINT academy afforded are now
imperatively demanded arc more need
eG noyy than ovar hofora
It will be the aim of the principals to
bring these advantages fully within the
reach Of the youth Of South Carolina
and OF the South. They will seek, fur
ther, judioiously to blend in their school
the mathematical md the classical ele.
ment, and to make their course of studies
conform to the practical needs Of the
times. The military feature will be
used, but not magnifed. To impress
upon the youth habits of order, punctu-
ality and promptitude- elevate his
tone-to improve his physique for pur-
poses OF general discipline-to this end
will the military clement be more espe-
oially cultivated.
The institution will open under the
new auspices on the 1st February next.
Besides recruits from beyond our borders,
We desire each County in South Carolina
to be represented. It is contemplated
that we will begin with corps of 100
cadets. A circular will be issued at an
early day. In the meantime, applica-
tions for cadetships may be made to Col.
Coward, at Yorkville, or to tho under
signed, at Columbia. To his former
pupils and to his friends throughout the
State, the undersigned asks leave to
commend this enterprise. He ventures
to solicit their generous aid in securing
recruits. The undersigned regards it
unnecessary to comment at length upon
the advantages which Yolkville offers
as the seat Of IN educational institute.
With its railroad and telegraphic facili-
ties, its freedom from immoral associa-
tions, its fine air aud healthful waters,
the location is perhaps unsurpassed by
any other in the State

From present Indications the cotton

quently by next sale day we may hope
to SEQ business qnito brisk in our town.
Tho planters are in much better condi-

is unable to walk, his left side being yet

home. We join the whole community in
hoping for the speedy establishment of
his health.
