Tue GREENWOOD AND AUGUSTA
RAILRoAD.-We publish in another col
umn the proceedings of the late meet
ing at Chiles' Cross Roads in behalf OF
this enterprise in which the citizens OF
the lower section of our District arc so
much interested. We have since the
meeting conversed with Gen. Bradley,
who is one of tho prominent movers in
the work, whose feelings are fully enlist
ed,,, and who speaks with well grounded
hopes of the success of the enterprise.
Steps have been taken to apply for q
charter both the Legislatures of Georgia
and South Carolina, and that being
effected, with the.promised subscription,
the success of the Road seems to be as
sured. The people of Augusta seem to
be in earnest in the matter, and with
the liberal subscriptions on the route,
viii hasten tho work to completion.
We trust that these anticipations may be
soon realized and that another highway Of
cormcrcc may be opened up to our
doors.

Iho Cantata at Due West.

We had not the pleasure OF attending
the "Cantata,' given by the ladies Of the
Die West Female College on the eve
ming or the % ult., but learn that itpass-
cd off crcllitah'y 10 all concerned, and
w.th Il flll measure OF that interest and
attrac;;vcncss, which good music and
good acting, aud all the charms of fc-
male 9raco and loneliness, add to these
entertainments.
The "Cantata' was representation OF
"ncw Years Eve' in three parts. In
tl" first. "O.d Father Time" calls upon
the ''O!d Year" to give an account Of his
stewardship, anu he summons the -Four
IScasonS' with their attendant months,
to answer for themselves. "Spring,"

deliver addresses.

tabeau of the "star in the East, with all
its Christmas surroundings.
In the third part the Four Seasons
with their attendants, enter in slow pro-
cession and sing q farewell chorus to the
Old Year. lie next gives place to his
successor, the New Year, who is escorted
to the vacant scat by "Christmas" and
Santa Claus" \ "wcIcome chorus" to
the Young Year closes the scene.
The principal characters were person
ated, by beautiful young ladies, who to
to the charms Of graceful acting added
the attractions of poetry and mu:lc.
The "Old Year" was representedby MI IS

-"Cld Father Time" by Miss Walker

and "Winter," respectively by the MiSsts
Walker, Young, Saxon, and Pitchford-
"Christmas" and "Santa Claus" by
Masters Bonner and Kennedy. Miss
Morse, the accomplished music teacher
presided at the piano, and Miss Nixon
sung with her usual grace-giving "the
last rose of summer, with striking effect.
The whole affair is said to have passed
off most c:ed;tably and most pleasantly.

Two SHOOTING AFFEAYs.-The peace
of the Village, and the harmony OF
Christmas week, were broken by tva
shooting scrapes, which resultediu moth
ing very serious. They both occurred
near the close OF last week. .....
In the first which occurred on Friday
afternoon, John McCord who had been
arrested by Alfred Ellison, the Town
Marshal, resisted the officer and dis
charged his pistol, without efe9t how
ever, upon the Marshal, who Il booked
him down, giving him serious blow.
In the second affair, which took place
on the next day, Calhoun Hamlin, shot
John Bowie, intlcting some four wounds
with pistol shots though not Of a fatal
character,

CHRISTMAS WEEK, passed off with
the usual amount of noise and confusilh
popping of crackers, discharge of rodS K
els and uproa-ious rejoicing generally
yet, with ono or tTo exceptions, there
was nothing untoward to mar the general
enjoyment. AS usual, the colorcd breth-
ren had prominent place in the picture,
and kept up the rejoicing the whole
week. The incleinent weather doubtless
kept many away, and we have seen
much larger crowds upon our streets.
indeed much larger trade seems to
have been done by our merchants during
the previous week, both with white and
co,orcd. During that week business was
active.

FAREWELL SERMON,

On Sunday last, tho congregation OF
Trinity Church had the privilege Of en-
ioying the ministrdtions of. the Rev. w.
I P. DuBose, the retiring Rector, and o.
the Rev. Edward r. Miles, his success
or, accompanied with all the painful
emotions which attend the separation
from q beloved and esteemed minister.
The farewell sermon Of Mr.. DuEOsc YVES
touching in the extremc-in the simple
artless feeling to which he rcferredto tic
unbrofea harmony Of his foar years
paStoratc hc-c--to which he said, that he
should look look back, like the thirsty
traveller to the palm trees and water
springs Of the green oasis of the desert
as well as in the sage counsel and we'll
timed admoEtions With which he ad-
verted to the duties and responsibilities
which lie before us. TO his successor,
he said, that he could wish no better Of
fering at the hands OF the congregation,
than the love and confidence, which had
been bestowed upon himself, and which
he trusted would be made to Yield q
richer Icturn under his ministry. The
choice of q SUCCESSOR by the congrega-
tirn HAD been his choice, and the puin Of
separation had been in large measure
assuaged by the reflection that he would
lcare the Parish in the hands Of one,
who harmoniZed with him in doctrine,
and would at least equal him iu zeal.
70 his wilo and responsible field of
labor in the University of the South, the
beloved Rector Of Trinity Church car
rics with him the heartfelt wishes of the
congregation and of our entire commu-
nifty, for the success of his ministry and
the happiness of himself and family.
TO his successor the Rev. Mr.. Miles,
they extend a cordial greeting and their
best wishes.

this conclusion are many, but it is. not.
necessary that they should be given here.
They will suggest themselves to any: one one
who has the least idea of business. we,
are sure nothing would be greater
benefit to the country at large than the,
abolition of the credit system. impress,

future to do strictly cash business, and
we promise. to those who will give US
their patronage to sell goods much lever.
thon we have ever done before: by a0z

The EReel OF Light on small Pox.

The Journal of the Telegraph says:
Among the many investigations now
being made of the chemical action Of
light, there are none more interesting or
more important than those which are d.
rected to the observation Of its effects on
health. 1t has been observed by DR..
Weber that the sensibility of the skin is
very much increased in those parts Of
the body which are always exposed to
the light, and this difference has even
been measured by that eminent physi-
clan. This remarkable fact is especially
observable on persons suffering from
small pox, the severity of the skin dis
ease being visibly augmented if the pa
tient be not confined in a dark room
DR.. Waters has recently published a
paper on this subject, in which he states
that if the room be darkened so that not
a single ray can enter it. the effect is to
arrest the disease at the papular or vesic-
ular stage; it never becomes purulent,
and tbs skin between the vesicles is
never inhamed or swollen; liquor san
guinis is not changed to pus, nearly all
the pain and itching are absent. and the
smell is, il not entirely removed, greatly
diminished. Another advantage impor-
tant in therapeutical point of view, is
the assistance given to medicines, the
absence of light increasing the excretory
power of the skin"

could continue the list to the extent OF
more than half million Of dollars, but
the above will suffice. She will see what
the effect Of secession has been, but for
which could have left all my children
a handsome competency"
The Baltimore Sun says: Mr.. Kent,
above referred to, was Northern man
who settled in Richmond, and, as the
head OF a well,known mercantile house,
appears to have made large fortune.
He does not seem to have had any scru-
Piles against holding slaves Indeed, his
love for the Union seems to have been Of
an eminently material and practical
character. One Of the effects of seces-
sion which he considers so deplorable as
to embody in his last will and testament
is the emancipation Of eighteen ser
wants, who but for rebellion" he
might have owned to the day of his
death, and then bequeathed them to his
posterity He also appears to have had
$25, 900 Confederate notes at the demise
of the Confederacy, and, considering
the heavy business said to have been
done by his house during the war, he
must have managed matters prudently
not to have had larger amount on
hand.
