Mr.. EDIToR.-As what have to relate
will doubtless be of interest to some Of
the readers of your valuable paper, I!
am constrained to ask short space in
its columns. "a (

This school during the past year has
beer, underline care OF Mr. WmsA. sans
,de-s, OF Chester, Sc who Isl graduaes;
of Erskine College, Due West;Tand am
able and successful teacher.
The day was bright, serene one, just
cold enough to redden the check, and
highten. the blush of modest merit, so
easily seen in the countenances of the
pupils. Many spectators were present.
whose good attention, and encouraging
smiles greatly enhanced,the occasion.
The exercises commenced at 10 O'clock,
A. NJ, beginning with the smaller schol-
ars in spelling and reading, who acquitted ID
themselves creditably, and showed that
considerable progress had been made
during the year. Glasses in Grammar
Geography, Arithmetic,i Rhetoric, Alge-
bra and Latin were ysuccessively exam
ined, all of which give evidence of their
own assiduity, and Of the ability Of their
instructor. After the examination came
the compositions Of the young ladies',
and the speeches Of the young gentlemen,
These we're very we'll written and de;
livered. Next followed the delivery Of
prizes, as rewards to those who, had at
tanned the greatest proficiency in the
several studies in their respective classes.
Prizes were given to the following
students: Miss Mamie Matthews, for
highest standing in Rhetoric; Miss An
ME Jennings, in Dictionary i; Miss Yer
della Trotter, in Geography; Miss Hattie
Watkins, in Grammar and Dictionary;
Miss Lizzie Matthews, in Gran1mari. !.
Master Lee Trotter. in Arithmetic;, Miss
Mamie Trotter, in Geography; Master
Jacob West, in spelling. 30 e'.'i.-5
No prizes were contended for by the
classes in Algebra and Latin, though
their examination fully showed their
merit.
When the exercises OF. the school, were
over, cali was made on Mr.. Sanders to
address the audience. Having consented,
he arose and chose for his subject, "The
necessity of mental labor" on which he
made an, interesting and. impressive
speech. I regret my inability, for'want
Of, space, to give g synopsis of it. ''
!, After the usual "treas to the children, d
table was bountifully supplied with nu-
.merous articles from the house-keepers
hands, which in quantity and quality
showed no fear of scarcity, and thatthe GU
linary art was far from being lost art in
thissection. After partaking, well salts

homes. -'a--

great success of a paper which has al
wsys advocated those sound principles
that underlie the foundations of society
and good government Orthodox in the
truest sense, both in Church and State,

Fire at Niiledgeville.

From the Macon Telegraph We get the
following additional particulars Of the dis
astrous fire at Milledseville on Friday
morning:
The ire broke out in cellar under the
Macon store of O. E. Besore, who lost a
stock of goods valued at $4,000, upon
which there was no insurance There be
ing scarcely any means Of defense against
fire, the flames had their own way, and
swept everything within their reach
The Milledseville Hotel, fine three
story brick building Newals Hall and
seven stores were totally burned. causing
loss of: 100000, about ohe-fourth Of
which was covered by insurance
During the progress of the fire a young
man named Corey, who was engaged in
business in one Of the stores that were
burned, was in the building endeavoring
to save some of his effects, when keg Of
powder exploded with terrific force. bury
ing him in the wreck of the burning
building. His charred remains were taken
from the ruins Friday.
Ed. Compton and several others were
badly hurt ut the same time, though no
more lives were lost.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary.

4 Word About National Finances.

WOr0 ABOUT NatlOn21 FluaHCcss
A subject of popular discussion just
now is Secretary Boutwell's proposition
TO initiate the greenback currency of the
nation to the extent of $44, ,000. 900. The
power to expand or contract the volume
of the currency at will, is power so
fraught with ruin and disaster to the
country in its abuse, that 1t ought not to
be entrusted to the hands of any man,
or any set Of men And certainly Mr.
Boutwell's antscedents. either as o man,
politician, or fiaancler, are not such
as to make us willing to confide to him
trust so momentous in its consequences.
The Montgomery Mail and Advertiser
speaks thus pointedly on this subject:
"The power claimed by Secretary Bout
well to initiate our greenback currency
at his discretion to the extent of forty
four millions, is power to make rich
men poor whensoever he will.
"You are heavy buyer of pork, or
wheat, or cotton, or beef; the Secretary
gives his screw turn by drawing in
ereenbacks. and you are ruined by a fall
OF your commodity in price which you
could not have foreseen and provide for;
or you sell one Of those staples for de-
livery at day specified, when you shall
have returned from buying, and ne lets
ont a flood of greenbacks and makes
YOU rich in a day. Your commodity is
really worth no more than before; you
only pay for it, reality, less than you
bargained to do. while its nominal or
face value was less than the Secretary
has made it.
"If there is to be initiation or cortrac-
ton 1t shold be effected on ample public
notice, in accordance with law. The
.secretary's actual course is despousm or
the Turkish pattern. 1t cannot abide
discussion"

Beech Island Lands.

We again call the attention of the'citi-
zens of Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwen
Counties to the sale of Beech Island
lands ADVERTISED In the Advertiser, to be
sold in the City Of augusta next Tuesday,
December 81 at public sale, at the lower
Market House. lrii H,. ia
These lands are only a lew miles from
Augusta, In close proximity to the Port
Royal Railroad, and with the facilities
that will be afforded by thai Road will
be as convenient 10 the markets of Au-
gusta, as lands on the Georgia side of the
river. Our citizens are aware Of the In
creased value Of lands by the construc-
tion of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad, and there is every reason
to suppose the same result will follow
the completion of the Port Royal Road.
The terms of sale are liberal, as to time
of payments and rate of interest, and an
investment in these lands may prove
ultimately more profitable than money
loaned at hlgner rate OF interest,".
The Constitutioaalist, noticing this inn
portant Land sale, says:
1--WE call the attention of our citizens
and the public to the advertisement of
Beech Island lands, which will he offer
ed ut public sale on the Sd of December
next, at the Lower Market House in this
city, by Miss Sarah a. Clarke, EXecu-
trix, and William Shear. These lands
are in close proximity to tho Port Royal
Railroad, and with the facilities which
will be afforded by that road. will be as
convenient to the citizens of Augusta,
and can be reached as soon or sooner by
rail, as the lands on this side of the river
can with horse and buggy. They are
good corn and cotton lands, as may be
seen from the crops of the present year.
The terms are liberal to the purchaser,
only o.e-third cash required, and the
balance in one and two years, with in
terest at seven per cent, With the pres
ent prices of corn and cotton, the pro.
ducts of these lands will go far towards
meeting the second and third payments" T"
