Mr.. Lay of the navy, has invented a
torpedo, which is now before Congress and
for which he asks s15O.0OO, provided it
does all he claims for it. He proposes to
be able to send it out two miles ut sea,
kcepit under perfect control from the
shore by electricity, and direct it under a
ship and blow it up, or let it proceed one
mile and cause it to return without ex-
ploding, showing the perfect control he
has over the internal machine, It is pro-
posed that board Of naval officers shall
examine it and certify thatit has pll the
merits claimed, If what is said of the
machine is true, it will create complete
revolution in naval warfare, and provide
another means Of defence against II foreign
invasion. AS naval officers would have
to use it in time of war. they oppose its
adoption, unless the most pcrfecttcsts are
made by experienced officers.

MORE OF THE RECENT TORNADO.

TIE recent blow appears to have done
most damage on its first entry into our
County up about Bull Swamp. A coul.-
try 5iend says that on o. b. Riley's
placd it blew down many houses, and
carriSd off the top of the gin house. AT
Ja,n9 Otis it blew down nearly every
hous&on the place. AT Ephraim Graves
everythousc except the corn house. At
John Murph's left only the dwelling and
saw hill, lifting the grist mill from its
foundations. The mill was torn to pieces
and ihe mill-stoncs, measuring 4 feet by
18 inghes thick, carried off about 80 feet.
All tho roads over which it passed are
blockaded by tho uprooted trees. It's
width was about 900 yards. All these
places mentioned had dwellings and out
bulldogs, the usual plantation buildings
and negro quarters. Ittook an old lady,
who Bad hidden between the bed aud

Press DEAD HEADS Railroads oc-
casionally complain of dcad-hcading, but
no institution suffers so much by it as
the press. A sensible writer says The
press cndurcs the affliction of dead head
ism from the pulpit, the bar and the stage;
from corporations, societies and inljyid-
nals. 1t is expected to yield its interest,
it is required to givcstrcngth to the weak,

cover infirmtics, hide weaknesses and
wink at quacks, bolster up dull authors
ami flatter the vain; it is, in short, to he
all things to all men. and if it looks for

sordid. There is no interest under the
whole heavens that is expected to give
so much te'spcicty without pay or thanks

Deaths.

On Sunday last, the 2Sth inst, the
funeral services were held by Rev. Mr..
Auld, over the remains of the latc
Colonel David Rumph, Mt Limestone
Church, about II miles from the town.
Many friends of the deceased went
from here to witness the sad cere-
mony. Colonel Rumph was, previous
to the war, man of considerable
influence in our District, and though
like the rest of us, brought down from
this high estate, in private life he has
ever bcen man highly esteemed. Hc
was 81 years of age, and had life been
spared him might have lived uscfully
several years mare.
On Monday last, at the Baptist Church,
i'll our village, were inferred the remains
ofColopcl David Shuler with Masonic
ceremonies. Colonel Shu'cr had lived
78 years of useful, honorable and indus
trious life, and has died at an advanced
age, beloved by large community of
friends.

Treasurer Parker has several times re-
turned the same answer to such School
Commissioners as have applied for the
funds assigned to their respective coun-
ties by our Gcperal Assembly. He says
there are no funds, aDl MOST probably
will not be until next Fall when the taxes
for this year current shall have been col
lected.
This virtually puts an end 10 all public
instruction and throws back for several
months the education of our colored citi-
zcns. IT works more disadyantagcously
for the colorea children. because they have
not at home the opportunity Of learning
the simplest rudimcnts.

When we issued the first number of our
paper, it was our intention to increase the
size of it, at an early day; and now that
VIC have fully met our expectations, VIC
again present our claims upon the honest
citizens of Orangoburg and adjoining
counties for libcsa support. Our aim
Is, and shall ever be, to give our readers
Il iirst-class literary and family news
paper, one that irowns upon and exposes
villains and rogucs wherever found. Our
first page will be devoted to light litera-
ture, DC. The second, to the discussion
of questions of the day, and n record of
passing events in our community; and on
the fourth will always he found store
OF ricf and useful knowledge to the far
incr, the gardener and the matron.
To advertisers, we would say, that the

cannot be cqualled by any paper pub

PEorosED EXTENSION OF THE Ku-
KIuy tcT.-A. Washington special to
the Baltimore sun, says: The bill to cx-
tend the operations Of the fourth section
of the ku kluS act to the end of the
present Congress, whc;ehy the writ OF
habcas cavils may be suspended by the
President, Will come up for discussion in
the Senate on NInn,lay next. The limi-
tation of the scetion expires with the
present scssi..n, and it is the intention of
the proposed bill TO cover the entire period
of the Presidential campaign. The Dem
ocrGts hope TO defeat it i'll the House; but
il they succeed. the republicans intend
to haze Congress take recess till Satur-
day, November SO, when the present ses-
sion would then expire, and in that way
extend the privilege Of the suspension Of
the writ for that period, being but three
months less than the proposed extension
by actual legislation. The herccst de
bate Of the session is promised on the
new bill.

The Crisis.

The political crisis which is soon to
come UP before the country, will prac-
tically decide whether our rulers are the
lservitors merely, (and according to an
established CONSTITUTIONS of the public
or whether entrusted with the care of
directing the laws they become our mas
tiers in verify. The opponents of Grant
claim that ifhe is endorsed by the country
ut large SO as to effect his reelection,
such reelection will establish over us an
imperial throne in tho White House !;
and when we of the South think of what
we hayetand still undergo under Presi-
dent Grant without any prospect of a
change the most natural feeling is to try
some one else if possible.
TO South Carolinians the whole circum-
stances of Grants election md conduct
since has been distastefnl. His life pre-
vious to the war was of continual dis
grace; what'strength of purpose he had
he appears to have exhausted in the road
of dissipation; this purpose was as usual
strong and he is represented as having
become consummate disgrace to his po-
sition. When the war broke out he was
one of the war Democrats of the North
who went back on us. and under the
name of Democrats did their hest to cxtcr-
inmate lis. After the war he changed
his politics, (that is their name,) to get
the Presidency, which was givcn to him
as being the most universally successful
man in his efforts to subiugatc us.
Since his election he has vigorously
prosecuted the war of determination
against the South. His reflection can
only be pleasant to such Southerncrs as
aretoo spiritlcss to be uncowcd by defeat
or lied iii their professions of animosity
