A HAPPY New IEAR.-To our friends
and patrons all, we extend the best con-
gratulations of the season, and wish
them individually and collectively a
"happy New Year." Week by week it
has been our privilege to bring to their
hearths and homes the record of our daily
life-the map of it's busy scenes-with
much to discourage, yet with abundant
cause for thankfulness in fruitful sea-
sons, and overflowing harvests. Let us
then begin the New Year with thankful
heart and earnest purpose and we trust
that it may be our privilege to be the
herald of better days to come.
With thanks to our friends for their
kind patronage, we will spare no effort
to merit their liberal and long continued
favor. With an amount OF patronage in
subscription and advertising extended to
few country papers, our prospects were
never brighter, and we may be excused
for referring with just pride to sub
scription list and advertising patronage
of which we may well boast.

The Row IN Louisiana.

The opposing factions Of the Republi-
can party, are having lively times in
Louisiana. One of the factions is repre-
sented by Governor Warmoth, aud the
other by United States Marshal, Packard,
Chairman of the Republican Executive
Committee. They are each attempting
to control the Legislature, in which they
each claim to have majority. An at
tempt by the adherents of Warmoth to
oust Speaker Carter was frustrated, and
the Governor afterwards assembled q
quorum of the members of the House
and declared the Speakers chair vacant.
Writs for the arrest of Warmoth and his
chief partisans on charge of conspiracy
were issued by the other faction, and bail
given. Great excitement prevails, and
the police and military are arrayed in
behalf of the opposing factions. AS vel
there has been no interference by the
United States authority.

The Old and the New.

Another year is past, and we stand
upon the threshold Of the new. 1871 is
gone, with all its buried hopes and un-
redeemed pledges-and yet too with its
cares and its disappointments-the jeal-
ousies and chickering's of the passing
hour. 1a that past twelve months re-
cord of our own lives how little to COM
mend, and how much to censure, do the
best of US find-good resolutions which
have borne no NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
errors which have left unseemly scars
behind. The year itself has been sig
nalized by no striking events which make
to themselves eras in human progress
and perhaps too the current of cur own
lives for twelve months have brought
few ripples to the surface. But the change
has been no less real than it has been
hidden. Those moments are most pro-
life of good and evil, which bring forth
no visible fruit. It's so in history OF
nations and in that of individuals. One
ago is the seed time of another
the germs of one year are developed in
the succeeding. Perhaps in the past
wear the seed of evil habits have been
planted, and the germs of good resolu-
tions have been crushed. He is happy
who sees his errors in time to correct
them, and breasts the tide of evil habits,
before they over-master him. Regrets
are unavailing, but experience isa school
in which the best of us may learn.
"Let us then be up and doing
With heart for every fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing.
Learn to labor and to wait"

r new County.

rive have in our possession o copy Of
q netitiou to the present Legislature for
a new County, to be taken from a por-
ton of Abbcville, Edgefeld, Newherry
and I.aurens, with the Court House at
Ninetv-Six. While we are in favor Of
everything like progress, we are, at the
same time, individually opposed to de-
parting from old land marks and their
obitcration, unless it be clearly evident
that the departure is for public good, and
will benefit more citizens than it will
inconvenience. So far as the citizens OF
this County are concerned, we are at q
loss to discern wherein the proposed
new County could be Of any materiai ad-
vantage to those Of our citizens likely to
be thrown within the bounds OF the new
County If. as the said petition propo-
ses, the boundary lines extend seven,
ten or twelve miles each way from the
village Of Ninety-SiX," those only living
Immediately on the river would be bene-
fitted, rs the village OF Ninety.Six, we
believe, is some six or seven miles from
any convenient crossing of the Saluda ;
besides, Nature has already fixed an i'm
perishable line in this old stream, and
therefore, we would say, "remove not
the old land mark.n
"Suppose, for instance, the bounda-
ries should be fixed at twelve miles from
the village of Ninety-SiX, persons living
near the extreme boundary on the North
in now Laurens County, would have q
distance of from ten to twelve miles to
travel, and the river,to cross in order to
reach theCourt House.
1.-The propositionsto create this new
County may answer very we'll for Edge
field, Abbevillc, and perhaps, Newberry
Counties which have an abundance OF
territory to spare, andsthe two first
named, at least-but Laurens has nc
surplus in that way. If, however, we
are in error as to the advantages to be
derived by creating the proposed Coun.
| ty, by those of our citizens who may fall
within its limits, W are open to conVic-
ton and while we would regret thelr
separation, we could but wish them u
heaIty Godspeed."
The above remarks from our friend o1
the LamensriNe Herald, we fully en-
dorse, except in so far as he may think,
that they apply with less force to Able
vile and Edgeheld, than to Laurens and
Newberry. The great objection to the
formation of new counties, is on ac'
count of the expense which it involves
in the multiplication of offices, and the
erection of new public buildings. This
will more than counterbalance any adj
vantage which the public may derive by
n orrootar ,,royinitv to the Comfy sent
The objection to the size of Counties, on
account of distance from the Courthouse
is one which the improvement in loco
motion is constantly overcoming, and
which applies now with less force than
ever. The cry for new counties comes
we think, rather from politicians
and landowners than from the
body of the people. Still, as our friend
remarks, we may be mistaken, and arc
open to conviction.

Hot SUPPER AT CLEAR SpRING.-W

Hot SUPPER AT CLEAR SpRING.-We
had hoped to have been furnished with
an account of the Hot Supper at Clear
Spring Academy on Friday, 2sth ult., by
one who was present, and which would
do justice to the sumptuous feast and all
it's joyous surroundings. But we must
leave it all to the imagination of the
reader-the heavily loaded tables-the
appetizing meats-the delicious cakes
and custards-solids and liquids all in
generous profusion and all betokening
the generous souls and skillful hands OF
the ladies of that vicinity-above all
the happy, joyous throng of youthful
hearts, that joined hands to trip "the
light fantastic toe" in an old time Christ
mas reel. From the appearance OF some
of our friends the next day, they looked
as if,
"They danced till broad-daylight,
And went home with the girls in
the morning"

Blr The trial of Mrs. Wharton, for
poisoning General Ketchum is still pro-
crossing at Annapolis, Maryland. The
prosecution relies principally upon the
analysis of contents of the deceased Cen
erals stomach in which Doctors Aiken
and Toury testified to the presence OF
antimony-but the defence seems to have
assailed very successfully this analysis
and proved the tests applied to be en-
tirely unreliable. Few trials have excl
ted more interest. With the evidence
so far adduced it seems impossible to
convict.

1872, CASH BUSINESS. 1872.

THE Experience of the last 'siS; years
i has brought us to the eeneausion
that Business to be done In SAFE ANA
satisfactory manner, can only be done ny
adhering strictly to the cash system.
The considerations which bring us 70
this conclusion are many, but u " NOT
necessary that they should be given hare.
They Will suggest themselves to any enc on
who has the least idea of business. We
are sure nothing would be greater
benefit to the country at large than tha'
abolition of the credit system. Impress
ed with this idea we are resolved for the
future to do strictly cash business, and
we promise to those who will give us
their patronage to sell goods much lower
thon we have ever done before. BY DO
ing Cash business we will be able to BUY
our goods much lower, sellthem at snort
er profits and give satisfaction to all par
ties. We are grateful to a generous pun,
lie for the patronage bestowed upon us'
during the past, and We trust our repu-
tation as business men is now su1licSn'- In'

CHRISTIANITY AND THE LAW."-
We are indebted to the Rev. Jas l..
Martin, Pastor of the Presbyterian
church here, for sermon by the Rev.
Ds. b. Nj. Palmer of New Orleans, on
christianity and the Law, or the claims
of Religion upon the Legal Profession"
1t is strong and earnest plea, character
lied by the preachers well-known log
ical force and eloquence. Christianity
is shown to have many common points
of intersection, and a wonderful affinity
with human jurisprudence-as being it
self founded upon the idea of law-as
tempering justice with mercy-its cardi-
nal principles being daily illustrated in
the practice of the legal profession-as
founded upon q religious element which
the law is forced to recognize-as pre-
senting an array of evidence, which
legal minds can best appreciate-and q
body of truth which furnishes the sur
est safeguard against the professional
dangers to which lawyers are exposed.
The sermon enforces the high duties
and grave responsibilities which rest
upon the legal profession, as the cousti-
tuted guardians of law, and the sworn
ministers of justice. Every interest Of
society is intrusted to their keeping,
and the character of every community is
by that of its Bar. The
preacher therefore calls upon the profess
sion to be not merely the champions of
human justice, bnt the earnest advocates
of tho Divine Law-drawing their in-
spiration not from earthly fountains, but
the source of all law-the Holy Bible.
