II Ia surprisingly strange how
hecdless!y great number of our
young men arc living. Why it is
that 30 many are launching out on
the ocean of lifo so recklessly, is q
problem we are unable to solve.
What are they looking ahead TOT
10 a bloated form, glaring eyes,
and a drunkard's grave2 What
else can they expcctY As surely
as the days come and 60 such viii!
DO their reward, saying nothing of
their future existence.
Every young man should possess
that manly pride and dignity that
would enable him 10 say: "For the
sake Of those who reared me, and
that l may honor tho one whom /
expect to make life happy for me,
l will walk erect as q man, and not
as q slave to the evils of the wine
cup" Every young man should
reason with himself, bringing to
mind that he is made in theimage of
his Creator-He who was tempted
and yielded not--and that he was
placed here for u higher and noblcr
purpose than pandering to the vice
es Of intcmperance. A great many
young men seem 10 entertain the
idea that if they should abstain from
visiting the halls of revelry--
Whore sin stalks about with doves eyes,
Carrying adagger under her wing,
and should live q sober and
steady-going life, that they would
be called dull, and that the world
would look upon them as lacking
the energy that a spirited man
should exhibit Courage, young
man there is no better show of a
well balanced and true mind, than
to SEQ a man firmly resisting the
temptations that assail him at al
most every corner, and which are
leading so many astray. Stop and
think think earnestly, and think
soberly. What are you gaining by
living a life of intemperance? You
arc losing financially. If you are
not now, ten chances to one but you
will. You are losing morally, for
no man can live on Incorporate life
and not corrupt his morals; and you
are losing spiritually, for if you
live this life, rolling in intemper.
ancc, you cannot expect an enher-
itance in that world of eternal bliss
"whcre the spirits of just men are
made perfect" Then, for humani-
tvs sake, and for the sake Of good
society, leave off having anything
to do with tho vile serpent--In-
temperance---that those who shall
como aftcr you may say, our fathers
were truly sober men, and we will
follow in their footsteps.

WANT OF CHARACTER IN OF

"Politics," said DR.. johnson, "is
the last resort ola scoundreI, and
the wretched Observation-Disclosures
to which one half of this country is
subjected lends a potential force to
the philippe Of the English sage.
1t is no uncommon spectacle to
witness the constabulary staff of
any city or town upon terms Of tho
most cordial fellowship with every
Claude Duvall and unblushing gam
ster befouling its limits. The
merchant who abandons the treas
ures Of his store-house, and the
banker who surrenders his vaults
to the warder Of the night, may
well tremble when his casual gaze
detects the trustee Of their dollars
junketing, daily, with q character
whose only indemnity from the
prison or the gallows, lies in the
paralizing fact that the very mo-
ment q capias is placed in one hand
for his arrest, a "ticket ofleave" is
placed in the other for his escape.
The record Of both Federal and
State Legislation for the Inst ten
years, is a blazonry of miserable
craft, Indecent cunning and unadul-
terated fraud. Great public
requirements have bccn over
slaughed by an INSCRIPTIONS zeal.
otry and frantic monopoly for
self. The nations demands have
been subordinated to that Of the in
dividual, and the hallowed fervor
of a Clay or theglorious passion Of
a Webster Is consumed in the do
structive and degrading madness
for "stars and garters,,' one man
power, petty dominion and q wolf.
ish instinct for tho lions share.
Nor does the peril and the infamy
end here. Lifting our eyes to
what should DO the throne Of tenn
poral justice--the august minister
Of Right, we find the bench filed
with shameless idiocy, incrusted
with corruption, compromising with
crime, garbling the lsttor Of the
law, and pervertiugits spirit; and
the daring profaner Of q station
that only one little less than an
angel should occupy, casting back,
with serpent sting, in the face Of
appealing virtue, the damning de-.
claration, that he docides not BY the
weight of Blackstonel or Kent, but
that me- decides BY the weight Of
goldl
Such is the startling picture pre-
sentcd to the Consideration Of the
American people to-day. And if
wc would perpetuate the freedom
Of our institutions, If We would
preserve the costly gem Of its hon
or, if We would continue civil and
politicaliliberty, we must awaken
to . lQfGer sense Of the worth and
necessity Of moral excellence and
purity, and cease to tolerate vice
and immortality in public life and

not have ended half its days ere

HALE.

Prolific. - We learn that Mr..
T. D.. Young, of whose prolific
family we made mention some
months since, has of late been
blessed with a fourth pair cf twins,
making in all thirteen children.
One Of his sons, George Washing
ton-of the first pair Of twins - is
now near twenty years Of age, and
can beat any Of his neighbors,
black or white, in hoeing cotton.
Mr.. Young has yearling which
recently gave birth to calf. The
animal is only thirteen months old,
and gives fine quantity of milk.
The merits of Mr.. Young as a
farmer may be judged from the
fact that last year he made, .on an
acre of old field, five hundred and
eighty-oue pounds of lint cotton,
using two @gon-loads Of stable
manure. The land was thoroughly
prepared, but the cotton was not
ploughed after it came up. Three
years ago he made eighteen bales OF
cotton with three hands and two
mules. Can any Of our friends
beat this?

The COLUMBIA CANAL.-Senator
Sprague, who has been on a visit to
the State Capitol, it seems, wishes
TO dispose Of his interest in the
canal. The Union says:
"The committee appointed to
wait on Senator Sprague, ON Thurs
day, met at the Office Of DR.. Nea
gle. and agreed to offer to this gen
tleman to raise 100000 if he
would invest a like amount in
building cotton mills on the canal:
Senator Sprague was informed OF
this proceeding, but declined to en-
gage as part owner in the en:er-
prise. lie also stated that he
should not make any further i'm.
provements on the canal, but would
sell out for enough to reimburse
him for his expense and trouble.
The committee, after consultation,
decided to form stock company,
and solicited his terms. These
were to have been given yesterday,
hut up to last evening it was not
stated that Mr.. Sprague had decided
what his terms would be.

between the ages of six and Six

Trustees sSe directed to perform or
have the duty performed, and due

child enumerated. 1t is all impor-

and that the enumeration be care

been shown the enumeration which
was made two years ago, and
the disproportion between the re.
turns in the various townships show
clearly that there is error some

for the exercise of care in the mat

the work is well done.

THE CASE OF E1chELBERGER.- -

The CASE OF EIchELBERGER.-
County Treasurer P. A. Eichelber.
ger, of Edgefeld was arrested on
Thursday Of the past week by the
Sheriff Richland, under order of
State Treasurer Cardozo, charged
with being a defau!ter to the
amount of $4,000. Mr.. Pope ap-
peared for the State, and Messrs.
Elliott & Dunbar for the prisoner,
before Judge Carpenter on applica-
ton for release under habeas corpus.
The Judge took the ground that
the Treasurer might arrest, but had
no authority to commit to jail
such an attempt npon the person OF
tae citizen being in direct conflict
with his constitutional rights. No
fraud had been shown in the case !;
none even alleged as the basis Of
the Treasurer's action. There was,
therefore, no ground upon which
Eichelberger could be required to
give bail, and he should, therefore,
be discharged.

before Trial Justice James A. Rich:
ardson, acting Coroner, at the
plantation of DR.. Jno. A. Stuart,
of Ninety-Six, over the body Of
Adam Hackett, a colorcd man, Of
whose death we made mention in
our last issue. The post mortena
examination was made by DR.. Stu
art, assisted by Drs. Bozeman and
N. S. McCants, and the skull was
found to be fractured to the extent
of eight inches diagonally across
the back. The Jury of Inquest,
with DR.. W. A. Limbecker as fore
man, brought in a verdict that
death resulted from the effects of a
blow, inflicted on the head, by a
large stick in the hands of Jerry
Coleman.

seems that the pending troubles be-

lara eliminated in a war Of races
in Coltax, the County seat Of Grant
Parish, which is situated above
Alexandria on the Red River. For
some reason it appears that the Off
cial returns of the last election were
thrown out in this Parish and that
two sets Of officials claimed the
offices. An appeal having been
made to Kellogg, he sent them
back to fight it out among them
selves, and a negro named Ward,

THE BLUE RIDGE ScR1p.-Our
Columbia exchanges contain the
able opinion Of Chief Justice
Moses, declaring the Blue Ridge
Scrip unconstitutional and void,
and presenting a long and exhaus.
tive argument sustaining his con-
clusions.' The ground taken is,
that the scrip is "bill Of credit
within the meaning of the consti-
tuition, and hence Is a violation of
that provision Of. the constitution
Of the United tates which pro-
hibits the States from issuing bills
of credit. The taxpayers of the
State will rejoice at a decision
which relieves an exhausted Treas
ury from the payment of u heavy
debt of $1,S00,OOo.. This we
suppose is an end Of the matter, as
an appeal will scarcely be taken to
the Supreme. Court of the United
States.
