STARTLING HoMIcIDE.-Our community was
thrown into unwontcd excitement on Monday
morning last, by the intelligence that Capt.
George Butler had been killed by young man
named Winslow Hamilton. Capt. George Bait
Ter was an elder brother of Genl. NJ. G. Butler,
who, having spent the greater portion of his
manhood in the West, returned to South Carolina
after the close of the war, and two years ago
settled in our District, on Savannah River, near
the plantation Of Ex-Gov. Pickens. Winslow
Hamilton is quite a young man, scarcely grown,
the son of one Of Capt. Butler's neighbors. Be-
tween Mr. Hamilton, the father, and Capt.
Butler there arose on Sunday evening last,
quarrel, in the yard of the former. The son
rushed from the house, took part in Tie alter
cation, aud ending by shooting Capt. Butler
dead. The latter was gentleman OF high
character and though not so generally well
known among lis as the rest Of his family, was
popular and beloved. His remains have been
iiaken to Grecnvillc, his birthplace, for inter
mcnt. Young Hamilton has not been arrested.

"A correspondent of the Rurai New Yorker
offers this remedy for burns or scalds: "The
most clicacious remedy ever tried was to apply
common starch just moistened with cold water
and spread ON a cloth to eieetually cover the
wounded part. y little girl who was badly
scalded was instantly freed from pain by the
above remedy. Keep the starch moistcned and
in few hours the Inflammation will be gone,
leaving the scalded part perfectly white. After
the Inflammation is out, apply a linen cloth:

SOME FACTS CONCERNING THE SPoTTswooD
The burning of the Spottswood Hotel, in
Richmond says the New York Post, under cir
cuinstances of such appalling calamity, re-
moves from that city building more closely
associated with the conduct of the war of the
rebellion than any other, the State Capitol
alone excepted. 1t was at the Spottswood Ho-
tel that Jefferson Davis frsttook lodgings upon
the removal of the Confederate Government
from Montgomery to Richmond, and through
out the whole struggle it was the headquarters
of the most prominent men in the Southern
service when they came to the city. From the
portico of the hotel all the fiery orators of the
time addressed the excited multitude, and the
latest news of the fight was always first received
and made known at that point. The tidings of
Bull Run were proclaimed on the night of the
72lst of July, 1861, from its windows.
Strangely enough, tho waves of the vast fire
of April 1865, which laid the greater part of
Richmond in ruins, were stayed at the corner
below the Spottswood Hotel, sparing the build
ing. which Immediately became the place of
abode of the greater number Of the Federal
officers who entered Richmond with the victo-
rious army of the Union.
The hotel was not called Spottswood, as
might be supposed, in memory of the truly
great Colonial Governor of Virginia, Alexan-
der Spottswood, but in honor of the father of
the ca pitaist Sho erected it, whose baptismal
name was Spottswood. 1t was built about
eighteen years ago, and was large and com
Portable establishment with fine facade upon
the principal street of the town.
The fearful loss of life attending the fire, the
intense cold of the night the rapid progress of
the flames, and the utter inability of the fire
men to check them, or to rescue the victims,
make up picture of horror suppementing
only too well the disasters Of fire, flood and
falling buildings which have within so short a
time brought sorrow upon Richmond.

THE PEOPLES LANDS WHERE ARE THEY
The landless people of this State have been
told that the State has purchased for them
nearly ono. hundred thousand acres of land, and
they have vainly searched for it, asked its price,
and sought to settle on it. Nobody can find it;
certainly, nobody can occupy it.. Where is 1t
What is it3 What is its price?
Wcwcre told by the Surveyor six weeks ago
that nearly all of it was surveyed into small
tracts. We were told by the Land Commission
crs and by members of the Advisory Board,
that it would be ready for distribution before
the holidays, and that the people should all
have chance at it. The holidays are at hand.
We have seen no public notice Of one single
tract as ready for occupation. We have yet to
find one citizen who has this autumn set
tied on land belonging to the State, under tho
law. We do not believe that anything worth
speaking of has been done BY the Commissioner
or the Advisory Board.
And now thousands who wanted lands are
making other arrangements for the coningyear
The lunds of the State remain unsettled, the
State receives nothing in taxes, and must itself,
meet the interest on the money paid out for
those lands. Are not the people justified in
declaring that the Land Commissioner and the
Advisory Board are utterly indifferent alike to
the welfare of the State, the interests of the
Republican party, and the prosperity OF the
people? 49,, =,
For ourselves, We have lost all further hope
in the Land Commission. In design it was
benefccnt in execution it is costly failure
and fraud. Let such measures be now devised
as will take the State out of the land business
as quickly as possible, and with the least posi-
Bile loss. Some good has been done, but COM
pared with the means employed, the results are
contemplate. Let the State close up the Land
Commission, realize what it can from unsold
lands, add the deficit to its public debt, and be
hcnceforward wise enough to keep forever out
of the land business and every other business

AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL JOUR-
SALs.-The managers of. the Southwest YT-
ginia Agricultural Society have inaugurated
the idea of substituting agricultural books and
periodicals for the smaller premiums, hitherto
psid in money. This is a move i'll the right
direction, and we think the example might,be
followed by kindred societies TO the manifest
benefit Of the farmer. i,i ..a.ss,.r
Agriculture has, within the last century
made rapid and progressive strides, and the
sevcrest of the sciences have been impressed
into its service. Perhaps in no other depart
,ent of human economy has there been a
eater multiplication of books and periodicals
eha1 in the department .of oftagrieultuIe, landthc
mind; Of the. farming community have never
been more alive To the Importance and dignity
Of theirccalling than at the presentrtimc. Yet
the great mass Of. the agricultpristss have not
availed themselves of opportunities which have
been and are daily being offered them Hence
too many, if not most, of these publications
are, to majority OF. the farming class, Sealed
books"
In, view of the progress and developments in
agriculture, it has now become absolutely ne
cessary for the Intelligent farmer to keep him
self thoroughly posted therein. We know that
the cost of well supplied agricultural library,
or even of the larger publications separately
is an impediment, if not a. barrier, in the way
of great many, but happily for all, the valu-
able periodicals arc published monthly in all
sections of the country especially devoted to
the interest of the farmer, and at such mode
rate rates that few, if any, engaged in the cul-
tivation of the soil can honestly declare their
inability to meet the required outlay in view of
the great benefits they will and must necessa-
-rily reap from their perusaL- Richmond Wing.

THE STATE SURVIVORS ASSOCIATION
We have received printed copy of the pro-:
ceedings. of the first and second annual meet.
ings of the State Survivors Association, to-
gether with. the eloquent address of Gen: John
S. Preston, delivered before the Association in
Columbia. in n-November last. The object and
purposes of the Association are fully set forth
in these proceedings, and to all who are igno-
rant of the part which South Carolina played
in the great struggle, We commend the able and
convincing report of the Executive Board,
which shows, among other things, that this
State gave to the Confederate cause atleast one
soldier for every vote cast for secession. !.
The Executive Board with the assistance of
Prof. Rivers, have compiled roll of the names
of 10000 South Carolinians who died in;ser-
vice during the war between the States. There
is, besides, supplementary roll of 2, 600 names
collected from sources less authentic, These
rolls tic Survivors Association now propose to
publish by subscription and if 1000 subscri..
bcrrs at S. can be obtained, this great memorial
of our dead, and valuable historical work for
the State. will be secured. The plan is to pub
lish two editions; the, first with Il preface in
viting corrections and additions to be submit
ted to the Executive Board by the friends OF
those who fell the second, with the additions
and corrections thus made, in betterand more
permanent FORM A subscription of 50 entities
the subscriber to q copy Of both editions. The
manus,sipt.is is ready Tor the printer, and the
Board arc about to canvass 'for subscriptions.
There is not a,family in South Carolina which
will,not find the name of n friend, q relative,
or a brother-in-arms uponsth roll of this le-
zion of f'l.0nor of the South Carolina dead, ,'and
we cannot doubt that the Survivors Associa-
tianS wiisi-spccdily obtain f:frsnao than the
minimum, number of subscribers required for
perpetua1ingc memory and fame of those
who poured out their blood, for their State and
the sunny South. -Cha,tcston Neics.

EVENING.


II hat ofhe voices Of evening say?
waiting out melody plaintive now gay;
Breeze, foliage and sunshine, mountain and stream
Mpgifng their thoughts like beautiful dream;
Let each one interpret thier song tohis heart
When at evening they speak mystical part.
Come voyagng breeze, let me welcome thee nero
What are thy varying tones to the listening ear
Dost thou come to me now in this sweet hour OF light
To charm with a homehope of earthly delights
Hark, 1t comes as child, it ''carols and sings"
To the lone mothers heart this sweet greeting it
brings.
Then mournfuly signing the sorrows of told,
It tenderiy speaks Heavens rest for the soul
The tiny-voiced brooklet sings on its way
A calm lay Of peace at the closing of day
The leaves of the trees and the birds of the AIR
Hold pleasant communings and sing nightly prayer
The deepgliding river through sunny hills crowned
Has language most sweet when at evening they
frown.
1t speaks of Lies tide in the heart of the world
By which often in shadow and sorrow wire hurled:
Yet sustained by Gods wisdom through currents oft
dark
1t keeps like the river still song in our path,
And the glorious sunset that paints sky and hill
What a feast to the soul that reads Its rich hymn;
The last glowing tnts of the warm waning days
Breath prayer DER the world in their lingering
gaze.
And twilight soft folded in its glmmering light
Sings peaceful refrain to the slumberous Night.
