SUPERIOR W1NE.-We are indeb-
ted to our friend, DR.. w. L. Andcr-
SON, of Ninety Six, for a bottle of
superior wine, for which he will
please accept our thanks. To say
that this wine is equal to that
which he had upon exhibition at
our District Fair, and which bore
off the premium, is to assign to it
high order of merit, but which
is deservedly due. TO great skill
in these matters, the Doctor adds q
long experience, and extends to the
public the benefits of both, in the
communication from his pen which
we present to our readers. Climate
and soil with us are equally adap.
ted to the culture of the grape,
and we commend the cormunica.
ton to the perusal of our horticul.
turists.

ing than usual, and all is offered to

RoBBERY:-Thc grocery storo OF
Mr.. +. Edwards in the lower part of
the Marshall House was entered on
last Sunday uight and a quantity OF
-four, and bacon, and a number OF
shoes abstractcd.. The entry was
effected through one Of the front win
dows, by first boring about hinge of
the shutter, and removing it. The
robbery was quite daring one, as'the
night was by 10 means dark. Tho
deed was done about midnight, but
so littlo noise was made, that there
was no alarm given. We trust that
the perpetrators may yet be brought
TO punishment.

ADBEvILLE G. H., &c June, 1871.
TO the Session of Abbeyillc
Church Dear Brethren Having
been set apart to the work of the
Gospel Ministry by tho recent action
Of our Prcsbytcry, and having under
a sense of great weakness and with
fear and trembling, entered upon the
duties of this high and holy calling:
/ hereby notify you and through you
the congregation of the fact that l
will hereafter cease TO net as q Ruling
Elder in this church, and ask that a
minute to this effect DO entered on
your Seasonal Record.
In penning this, the occurrence OF
two thoughts relieves me of much
pain. /. l leave you to "spcnd' and
be spent" in the higher service Of the
Master whom we all delight to honor
2. Though absent from my accustom'
ed scat in the house Of God on the
Sabbath, still my membership is hero
and I shall continue to feel that l am
one Of the beloved people with whom
I have so long worshippcd the High
Holy Ono.
Towards you, Brethren, my feel
Iings have always been cordial, sin
cerc and tender. I have loved you i'll
days gone by, lovo you now,' hope
to love you till death, and through
and endless eternity.
1 thank you, for the christian cour
tcsy and kindness which have ever
marked you, individually and as as q
session towards me; and l bless God
for much spiritual good to myself de-
rived from association with you.
May the Great King Of Zion crown
your labors in behalf of this dcal
church with abundant success.
Yours in christian bonds,
r A. FAIR.
On motion, Resolved, that wo &C

tits a comfort to us to believe that
thisis the work of God .himseIf,s and
is done not to afilict us, but to pro.
mote the greater interests of our Mas.
ter's kingdom on earth.
Mr.. Fair was active in the forma-
ton Of Abbcvile G church; and at its
organizations was chosen with us a
Ruling Elder. For many years be-
fore, VIC had been associated togcther
as Ruling Elders at Upper Long Cane.
Our intercourse has been pleasant
and cordial, and exhibiting the true
christian spirit.
Ho has been attentive to the duties
of his office. Ills scat at our meet
ings has very rarely been vacant
The interests Of the church have ever
been dear to him. In counsel he was
q valuable member. His clear per
ception, sound judgment, deep picty,
and earnestness fitted him tor safe
counsellor, and with chccrfulncss he
has often led us through our perpIexi
ties. We moro than any others OF
our church will be mado sensible oi
his absence; but whilo we are fully
impressed with our loss, wo should
not complain or murmur, but rather
rejoice, that he is taken to q mor(
Important work in our Masters vine
yard. "The Lords hand is not shor
tened that it cannot save" nor is tho
Spirit of the Lord Strengthened.
In faith relying upon the promises
of God, we should ask him to help us
and supply all our need according t(
His riches in Christ Jesus"
We invoke the choicest blcssing'
upon our Brother in his new field O
labor, and pray that he may be cmi
ncntly useful to the church, and tha
ho may finally receive the great re
ward.

Our Next Coyernor.

Governor Leslie, who has been made
our chief standard bearer, is in the prime
of life, having been born in that part Of
Wayne county now forming the county
of Clinton, on the I'd of March, 1919.
He subsequently moved to the county of
Monroe, aud engaging in the practice Of
law, was elected to the Legislature from
that county in 1874. In 1S47 he was
again . candidate, but was beaten by j.
Smith Barlow one vote-it being sim
GUAR coincidence, that the year follow
ing. Barlow was also elected over !. B..
Wilson by q like majority. Upon the
adoption of the New Constitution Gov
ernor Leslie vas, in 1850, elected to the
Senate, succeeding j. w. Ritter.
He drew the short term and served
only two years. Upto 1856 he had
been member of the Whig party, ar
IDENTIFY attached to his great leader, Mr..
Clay, and an earnest advocate of his
policy. But when that party disbanded,
he united himself in 1856 with the Demo
cratic party. and has been warmly de-
voted to its in'erests since that tim, :.
Prior to the breaking out of the war, be
was known as Union man, having
always opposed the doctrine of secession;
but being opposed to the war of subju-
cation, be wss regarded throughout the
war as in sympathy with the South. In
1867 he was elected to the Senate, and
in 1869 was chosen Speaker of that body,
by virtue of which position he succeeded
to the Office of Governor upon the resig-
nation Of Governor Stevenson on the 18th
day of February. 1t will thus be seen
that Governor Leslie'sacquaintance with
public life began twenty seven years ago.
As speaker Governor Leslie is direct
aud forcible, not claiming the eloquence
which comes from rhetorical display, but
full of the earnest logic of reason and
clear ststepeat, which carries conviction
to his hearers. In religion, he is Bap-
tist, having been long member of that
body.
