Tie Seminary and Male and Female
Colleges have just opened for the pres

misses and theological! students are pour

ever been noted for it's superior educa-

ly received and most highly entertained
by the people. His congregations were
large; and his sermons, deeply eloquent,
spoke of Il mind of great strength, and Il
spirit of untiring research.
Well, now that scorching August hats
melted into September, and the cool days
are coming on, we are soon to turn our
faces upon the pleasures into which we
have entered with true spirit and zeal,
and packing our trunks, and looking
Southwark, find ourselves cH route for
our old home among the Edgciicld hills.
Paintings arc always sad, and although
we shall miss the beautiful scenery that
has gladdened our eyes for so many
weeks-the rich purple Of the far off
mountains tingcd with the golden light
of the September sun-yet it is far more
painful to leave behind, warm hearts
which have inspired lasting attachments,
and soft bright eyes which, we fiatter
ourselves, will be somewhat clouded
when the last "good bye" is said. And
wien the dark cold winter will have
come upon us, we know that oftentimcs
when seated around the cheerful fireside
of home, bright visions of the gay sunny
days of summer will pass before us, in
which the forms Of two young and love-
ly maidens will ever appear-one, tall,
stately and grand, holding the reins of
society in her shapely hands, yet ming
ling with her queenly beauty and match
less grace all the sweetness of a soul
filled with truest. sympathy, and heart
ever overtlowing with charity toward
those in the humber walks of life. The

'Great feelings hath she of hor own,
Which lesser souls may never know;
God giveth them to her alone,
And sweet they are as any tone

And deeds OF weekday holiness
Fall from her noiseless as the SNOW"

BABY FARMING IN New York CRY
A shocking case Of "baby fsrming" was
brought to the notice Of the Special Ses-
sions of New York city Thursday morn
ing, the prisoner at the bar being woman
named Sarah Coates, of 205 East Sixty
third street. Neighbors and others testi-
fed to the fact that she frequently kept a
little six months infant lying in her back
yard exposed to the rays Of the sun some
times the infant would remain there all
day without nourishment. This child
died on the 9th OF August, and another in
the keeping of the same woman died on
the oath, also. from neglect and inhuman
treatment Their. bodies weresreduced to
mere skeletons, and were almost black
from being exposed to the sun. One Of
the children, it seems, belong to the Cir
cassian woman connected with BarnuHl's s
Museum; the other belonged to Mrs.
Hoger. A Mr.rDoyne said the little crea-
lures, even before death, looked like
boiled meat" and that he had often re.
monstrated with the woman in vain. For
the defense the woman alleged she had
put the children in the yard 9 for the ben
eft of their health. The court sentenced
her to the penitentiary for three months,
and she was led away, Historically pro-
testing her innocence, IN flood Of tears;

A Charming Letter: from. GreenvIlle.
GREENv1LIE, Sept. 13, 1873.

-. a
Dear Advertiser,-Will you pause a
few moments, before all. your blank col
nmns are filed for this week, and give
me just one, to chant the praises of my
elegant "Summer Home,' in the Noun
tain City of our dear old State-dear still,
Though her glory be fallen; for can son,
or daughter, of South Carolina look upon
record of her past greatness, and fail to
feel thrill of pride for the soil once gov
erned by line of Heroes whose deeds,
Of true 'valor and strictest honor, will
ever stand forth amid our darkest hours,
as bright shining marks of the glorious
past of the proud "Palmetto State"
This summer, Greenville has been gay
beyond conception, and her oldest citi-
zens,, looking proudly on, say, never was
season Of more true pleasure and en-
joyment known amid the hospitable
homes of their beautiful city. The Man
sion House and all the private boarding
houses are filled from garret to cellar,
and still the visitors are coming. There
is some nameless, indescribable, fascina-
ton lingering in the very atmosphere,
which when once inhaled, sends new
blood coursing through the veins, and
awakening all dormant powers of pleas
ure, causes one to see only the bright and
gilded side of life. .,
The driving, the walking, the noun
tain parties, and the moonlight revels at
the falls, are all sources of amusement
to which the old, the young, the gay, and
the sombre, turn alike, with that keen
delight which the bracing mountain air
creates in the most careless and indif.
ferent.
We, among fortunate few, have been
thrown amid the elegance and refinement
of one of the most delightful private
boarding houses in the South. It's beau
tifully kept rooms and elegantly sup
piled tables, together with its blooming
flowers, singing birds, growing grasses,
and above all, its highly cultivated and
unequaled mistress and family, render
it, not extravagantly speaking, anjelysi-
um of perpetual bliss, and those who
have been so fortunate as to find TO- one
summer home amid its beauties, will
scarcely be able to pass another in hap
piness elsewhere.
And now we come to the great "Air
Line" whose inexpressible addition to
both the business and pleasure of the
city, gives birth to universal delight |
among the people. How grand to be able
to sit in their homes, and know thatthree
or four trains come laundering in "du-
ring the day, bringing passengers from
all quarters, and placing the freight Of
merchants and farmers almost at their |
very doors. GloriousI Wewalked over

F" Economical Railroad Transportation''

| Has become national necessity
West, North and South. I have lately
travelled over thousands of miles Of Rail
roads, and met citizens of all classes
suffering from extortionate tariffs, the
result and consequence of the most reek-
less, and unheard of extravaganza known
in any civilized country outside of the
United States. Northern extravaganza
and criminal waste. has become pcsti-
lential curse, ramifying into the re-
motest corners of the land. And it is all
fungus growth, from the course pur-
sued by thoughtless nation. Every
thing is sent to the North or the East, to
pay toll; everything we buy comes
from the North or the East, that the
Cities Of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston may first levy toll. 1t is this
system that has made it no unusual
thing for Railroad official to live in a
house for which the rent is only one
thousand dollars per month. Then no
people in the world indulge in the East
ern magnificence, that does your Rdil
road or bank officials of New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. Senseless
waste is the fashion, and the agricultu-
ralists of the country pay for it, right
and left.
This reckless waste causes high freight,
and makes everything else high, but
produce. If a President of Railroad
or Bank lives at the rate of thirty-six to
fifty thousand dollars per annum, it is
fair to presume that the Vice-President
Or Cashier, will aim to spend twenty to
twenty-five thousand, and so on down to-
the meanest official in the employment
in the corporation. Somebody must pay
for all this. Yes the business of the
country people pays for it, both by pro-
duce sold to foreign countries, and goods
bought for consumption. Is itany won
der that these country people are kept
poor? And if it had not been for the
constant stream of emigration that has
flowed to the West, carrying with it
of money to buy homes, the
agricultural interest Of the country would
have been totally ruined by the ex-
of their financial and busi-
ness agents. How long, oh ye of slow
comprehension, will you permit this
fungus growth to thrive? How long
will ye get all your opinions, thoughts,
and fashions, from communities, whose
God is mammon, and with whom vile
corruption is no disgrace? What pat
terms! that we copy our customs from
them, and to whom We bow down.. as the
great models of an advanced civilization
There can be no national relief" from
our present, distressed condition. We
may go on for years producing prodi-
yious crops OF grain, meat, cotton, to-
bacco, &C., &c. We may bear taxation
without limit, but we will never be any |
better off; anv richer, nationally, be-
