An Inxestiaatina Committee.

The Ku Klux Committee, nov. sitting in
Washington, has recently appointed asub-com-
mittee to visit certain portions Of North snd
South Carolina, Immediately, to inquire ihto
the condition of affairs Senator Scott, Of
Pennsylvania, and Representatives Stevenson
and Van Trump, of Ohio, compose the sub
committee. The two first named are Republ-
cans, and Judge Van Trump is sterling Dem
ocrat. They will proceed at once to Columbia,
and afterwards visit spartanburg or Greenville,
and thence to North Carolina. The minority
of the Ku Klup Committee are anxious that
the conservatives shall secure full hearing
before this subcommittee.
This subcommittee reached Columbia on

"reminiscences of Dr.. johnson.

The editor of the Working Christian has ex-
amined the manuscript, containing CDR. w. B.
Johnson's "Reminiscences" and finds that they
are very interesting. These "reminiscences were
written by DR.. johnson few years before his
death, and are said.to contain good autobiog-
raphy of this working and useful man. His
comments on the men, and times, and places OF
his life and labors, arc replete with interest.
Bro. Gaines proposes to publish these reminis-
cences together with the funeral discourse Of
DIR. ]. C. Furman on the occasion of DR.. john
sons death, and other sketches of this great
and good man, in neat book form. He thinks
the book will contain about $50 pages, and that
it can be sold for 81. When the names of three
hundred persons are pledged for as many copies,
the work will be put in print without delay.
In this community, where DR.. johnson lived
and labored for so many years, and where his
honored remains are now reposing, we think
there will be nc difficulty in securing large
list of subscribers to the proposed work: Let
active exertions be made at once, so that at
least this memorial. of his services and useful
ness may be assured. The death of DIR. john
son occurred during the war, and it was the in
tention of the Baptist denomination to erect
monument to his memory. AS this intention
has never been carried out, and probably will
not be for years to come we think it the duty
of all desiring to perpetuate the recollection of
this eminent and devoted servant of God to
encourage Bro. Gaines in this voluntary under
taking, by forwarding orders at once for copies
of this work. We will take pleasure in re-
ceiving the names of persons who are willing
to subscribe, and we trust that others willmore
actively canvass the subject both in and out of
the denomination.

Air Line Railroad.

President Buford, of the Air Line Railroad,
visited our town on Tuesday last. He was
waited upon by committee of gentlemen rep
resenting the town, and conversed very pleas
antly in regard to the location of the Road by
this place. He seems quite anxious that the
surveys now being made from Greenville. by
way of this town to Gainesville shall be
thorough and exhaustive, and further declares
that 1t would be gratifying to find an easy,
cheap and desirable route by Anderson, in con-
sequence of its local business and advantages.
The present survey might discover practica-
cable and short route, and in this event, there
is no doubt about the road cominghe :unless
our people fail to discharge their duty in max
ing the subscription proposed. Col. Buford
thought that every exertion should be made to
get at satisfactory solution of this vexed ques-
ton of location; but frankly asserted that it
was the intention of these in authority to con-
struct the Road over route of their own Sc
lection, withou regard to specific terms of
original charters.

The New County.

The Grcenville Enterprise contains the pro-
ceedings of public meeting held ut the resi-
dencc of Capt Henry T. Stokes, in the lower
portion of that county, on the 10th Of June.
The object of the meeting WAS to take prelimi-
nary action towards the formation Of new
County from portions of Greenville, Anderson,
Abbevillc and Laurcns.. Mcssrs. James Nc
Cullouigh, Jesse French aud A. W. Ramsey
were appointed committee to locate the line,
constituting the boundary Of territory it 5 pro
posed to take from Grccnville for tie said
County. The citizens of Anderson; Abbeville
and Laurcns we're requested to hold meetings
in those sections proposing to unite in this
movement, and to appoint similar committees
forthc purpose of comforting with the above
named committee at Honea Path at some future
tlav. These committees of conference are re-
ouesed to make report of their action to pub
lie meetings in their respective sections The
object of this movement, if. we arc correctly
advised, is to organize County with the Court
House at Honea Path. With this object in
view u bill was introduced at the last session of
the Legislature, and We presume that active
exertions will bc made next winter to carry out
the project.

= The Savannah Advcrtiser says that recent
report from several sections Of Georgia confirm
the previous reports of the discouraging con-
dition of the cotton crops The long continued
rains have rendered the cotton crop so grassy
that it will be almost impossible to rescue it.
To increase the discontinue of the planters,
most them are short Of hands, many of the
colored people having gene OFF to gather black
berries The alarming condition Of the cotton
crops has caused the corn to bc neglected. a
similar state of things is represented to exist
in all the Gulf States that have lately been
visited by heavy rains.
= Hon. Horace. Capron, Commissioner of
Agriculture recently rendered his resignation
to the President, the same to take effect on the
1st of August Mr.. Capron resigns for the
purpose of entering upon contract with the
Japanese Government to infuse certain Ameri-
can ideas relating to agriculture, &c, into that
country. Mr. Capron will go to Japan shortly
after the expiration of his term here, and is
empowered to take out with him all kinds OF
machinery, agricultural and otherwise, and he
will be accompanied to Japan by a geologist
and other scientific gentlemen, who will all en-
gage in the development Of the resources Of
that country.

fruit for winter use is at hand, we take pleasure
in directing the attention of housckecpers to
the fruit cans advertised by Mr.. j. l.. Dawson,
Ms being convenient, cheap and desirable. We
bavo recently tested the matter, and know
whereof we speak, that these cans arc admira-

INFLUENCE OF Books on THE PROGRESS OF
TIE PRESENT AaE.-The present century is
frequently laudcd as pre-emincntly the great
progressive age Of the woSlds history. While
it has been honored by some of the most impor:
tant inventions and discoveries, yet this is not
its great distinguishing features. 1t Is parhcu-
lariy noted for the general diffusion of learning
and the GENERAL improvement OF the mass OF
civilized mankind. This is due to FAST print
ing machinery, rendering books, magazines,
ETC., cheap, and within the reach OF every one;
What really constitutes the value of usefhl
books? The fact that they are the records OF
experience. Previously, the experience gained
by one man was useful only to those in his inl-
mediate neighborhood, but now it Is spread
broadcast over tho world. We thus learn many
principles and many truths from others, ana
arc spared tho labor of searching for them our
selves 1t is thus that this age has developed
such remarkable progress ilrthe masses.
BOokS-records of eXperience-are the great
workers in this great causo.
Tho Agricultural Magazine Is the great medl-
um of conveying the result Of one farmers eX-
perience to another farmer, and when it finds
that number of farmers will have the s same m
experience, its duty is TO extract the truth IN
VOWED and present it in concise form to the ag-
ricutural reader.
We know of few magazines which more fully
understands its peculiar sphere than the RURAL
CARoLINIAN. The July number is now before
us, and presents its usual supply OF laGtS prac-
tice and truths. This magazine should DC en-
couraged-it is well encouraged; but while
enough so for tho publishers, yet not enough
so for the farmers. It should be in every home
stead in the South-it should be the great A.ccl-
un of interchange Of experiences among tne
farmers of the South, and thus enable them 70
take thoir proper place iii the progress. s.oi the

six six years, the paper has grown steadily in
influence and popular favor, and to-day rests

and subscribers and an extensive advertising
patronage. tits not for us to say whether or
not the past management of this Journal has
been conducive to the public welfare. Suffice
sit, that q generous people have warmly sus-

the people in honorable paths Of peace and in

lion may be assured and that, rising from the
depths of adversely and despair, the dawn of a
brighter day might break upon our visions, and
the glorious efulgence Of its meridian height
descend to after generations. True and faith
sfhlt oifriends, swe have sought to maintain
frank and manly opposition to our political
foes, ascribing credit only where it is due, and
fsdenouncing boldly the vices and eorraptions OF
sthose seeking to drag the State into unutteraeie
depths Of woe. But why rehearse the past

MODERN DOMESTIC CooKERY-We copy
the annexed paragraph from the Greenville
Enterprise of last week:
We have been furnished, by the author, with
copy of this new and valuable book on do
nestle cookery and other household matters.
Wo speak on the authority of the most intelli-
gent ladies, who have examined it, that it is
superior for practical use of any book of the
kind they have ever known. 1t is adapted to
the wants of families, and every housekeeper
ought to procure copy. Miss Brown has pro-
duoed work that is most creditable to her
talents. 1t is one of many instances showing
that the ladies of the South can rival and per
haps excel their Northern sisters in household
economy and in literary performances, if they
choose to make the effort. In housekeeping,
our Southern women have always been famous.
We predict large circulation for Miss Browns
book. 1t is printed on beautiful paper, distinct
Typography, and neatly bound.
