DEATH OF EDWARD A. PoLLARD.-This
noted journalist and author died at the resi-
dence of his brother in Lynchburg, Va, on the
10Th inst, after protracted suffering from
Bright's disease of the kidneys. We copy the
following tribute to his memory from the Will
mington Star:
He was born in Nelson county, Va, and was
educated at the University of Virginia. Leav-
ing this venerable institution about the year
1851, the deceased located in San Francisco,
CAL, with the view of practising law, for which
profession he had thoroughly qualified himself
But he soon became contributor to the press
on the Pacific coast, and finally abandoned law
and entered the field ofjournaism. Returning
to Virginia about 1857, Mr.. Pollard devoted
himself to literature, for which he had decided
taste as we'll as gifts. During portion of the
war he was engaged as an editorial writer on
the Richmond Examiner During and after
the war, his time was occupied in the prepara-
tion of history of the war, which had large
sale. About two years ago, Mr. Pollards health
became so feeble as to render him an almost
hopeless invalid, and he became a resident of
Lynchburg, finding welcome home with his
brother. About this time he made a profession
of religion, and connected himself with the M.
Z. Church South, and it will be pleasure to
his friends to know that he died in the triumphs
of Christian faith Mr.. Pollard was in his for
tieth year, and unmarried

AMERICAN FARMERS ADvocATE.-The s,

AMERICAN FARMERS ADvocATE.-Thes sub
iectof cooperation among farmers is beginning
to attract very much attention in all parts of the
country. At St. Louis, last May, the National
Agricultural Congress was organized by the con-
solidaton of the National Agricultural Associa-
ton and the Agricultural Congress, and at once
by wise and judicious action secured the conf
dence of societies throughout the country, both
collectively and individually. In many parts Of
the country district conventions have been called
and numerously attended by the farmers, and
the resolutions adopted evince growing appre-
citation of the value and necessity of co-opera-
tive action.
The american Farmers Adrocate, which has
espoused the cause of the Congress, has, with
full confidence in the growing popularity OF
this movement, been sent to every agricultural
society and to all the newspapers of the coun-
try at the individual expense of the publishers.
1t has perseverngly presented the benefits Of
the Congress, and we can heartily commend it
to the attention of every farmer.
The Congress holds its next meeting in May,
at indianapolis, Ind, and it promises to be an
occasion of much interest to agriculturists.-
Every society in the country should be repre-
sented there.
Full information in reference to it may be
obtained by addressing the Secretary, Chas. w.
Greene, at Jackson, Tenn, at which point also
the Advocate is published.

GRANT AND HIS CoUNsELORs.-Probably no
man ever held the office who was so essentially
President of the United States, officially and
literally, IS Gen. Grant. He has more than
Jackson's will, without any of Jackson's blus-
ter; and he has all of Lncoln's, but none OF
Lincoln's tact His experience in the army
has taught him that, though dozen men may
give advice there will be but one to take the
responsibility, and at Vicksburg SO at Wash
ington, he tells his counselors what he is going
to do rather than ask them what he ought to
do And so it happens among the older and
better class of politicians-beg pardon, states
men-there is not that eager rushing for Cabi-
net places which there used to be twenty years
ago. Indeed, one of the Presidents best friends
in the Senate said in my hearing yesterday that
a Cabinet officer under Grant was little more
than clerk that with the exception of Bout
we'll, none of the existing ministry had any
voice in public affairs, and that man who was
able to hold any position of prominence in the
Senate would be foolish to 60 into the Cabinet.
He was very far from condemning the state of
things; on the contrary, he said it was just
what it ought to be, and that the tendency
heretofore had been too much in the direction
of Cabinet rule He thought Mr.. Iincoln's
great mistake was in allowing himself to be
governed by Seward and Stanton, and he hoped
Grant would stick to his determination that
there should be no one to share the response
bilities or duties of the Presidency with him
while his term of Office lasted Washington

and Imprisonment for five years.
In the. case of John T. Craig, George David
son, Elihu Young, Charles franklin aud Mum
son Buford, of Laurens, the jury failed to agree
upon a verdict, and it was ordered that the de-
PENDANTS named give additional bonds, in the
sum of So 600 each, for their appearance at the
next term of the Court, which will begin at
Charleston on the first Monday in April next
The Court then adjourned.

Railroad Accidents.

A broken rail caused an accidentto the down
passenger train of the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad on last Saturday, in the neighborhood
of Littleton, by which the smoking and second
passenger cars were very badly damaged.
Fortunately. no person was hurt, although both
cars were filed with passengers at the time
On Monday last, just below Aston, one OF
the up freight trains ran into another, smash
ing the conductors car, but inficting no other
damage of consequence. The passenger trains
were delayed by this accident, and the mail ar
rived here two hours behind the regular time
These accidents, although not serious, are be-
coming quite frequent and annoying.

graphs:
A fourth daily newspaper is soon to be pub
lished in this city, under the auspices of Mr.. T.

WILLIAMSON FEMALE CoLLEGE.-The
Newberry Herald thus notices the successful
career of this young and vigorous institution,
giving the particulars of its management and
plan of operations:
We had the pleasure last week of meeting
with Rev. Samuel Lander, A. NJ, President Of
Williamson Female College, and Professor of
Latin, Greek and Natural Sciences. The Col
lege has an excellent faculty, and large num-
Der of pupils. This seat of learning was
opened in February of the present year, in the
town of Williamson, and already enjoys a
good reputation.
The collegiate year is divided into two ses-
sions of twenty weeks each, with two interven-
ing vacations. The spring session, 1873, will
open on Monday, February 3rd, and close on
the 2lst of June. The fall session will open
on Monday, the Sth of July, and close Com
mencement Day, November 20.
The regular vacation is during the months OF
December and January, so atPupils have the
benefit of a healthful summer residence and the
waters of Williamson Mineral Spring.
The course of study consists of the School of
Letters and the School of Arts. Of the former
are tie primary department, intermediate de-
partment, the first college class, the elementary
English department, and the departments of
belles-lettres, natural sciences, mathematics.
Latin Greek and French. The latter of vocal
music, instrumental music and the ornamental
| department.

PAINFUL AccIDENT.-W regret to state that
while attending as a witness in the U. S. Court
at Columbia, painful accident occurred to our
esteemed townsman, Col. J. P. Hoyt. He had
gone to the State House. where the Court was
in session, on Monday night last, and it being
very dark, by some misstep he fell from the
lower steps, FIVE or six feet, to the stone pave
ment in front of the Capitol We hope his
injuries are not serious, though they are no
doubt painful, as one shoulder:joint was dislo-
Gated and one knee severely bruised, with other
injuries. He deserves the sympathy of the
community, more especially as the accident
occurred at the post of duty.-LaurensriAe
