What Can be Done With Piney
Woods Pond,

Col. Bacon's note horounto appended,
will explain our meaning. Col. B. had
this pond ditched and drained q year
ago; and this is the result. The grass
sent us with this note, is not less than
seven feet in, height. This meadow,
either when sea of living green, or
with cattle on one side and hay stacks
on the other, is one Of the most beautiful
things of the kind it is possible to imag-
inc. Around the margin stands a deep
fringe of pines, gums, and water-oaks:
PINE PoNDs, 3rd Sept, 1873.
To the Editor Of Edgedeld -4urertiscr:
DEAR S1R,-I send you a specimen OF
the indigenous grass in my meadow.
This sample is grown in il the richest part.
There are about thirty acres in this mead
ow. Fifteen are devoted to my horses
for g pasture; and Fifteen for hay. 1
have moved it twice this season and fill
cd all my barns and out houses. I ex-
pect to NOW it yet third time, about the
18th Oct will then have more good
hay than all my stock will consume for
q year at least. On my plantation there
are about one hundred acres of land that
will produce such hay. I hope, if mis-
fortunes come less frequently than for
the last three years, to make enough of
this hay to pay all my expenses. will
have all my grass land in cultivation.
The Meadow when ready for mowingis
an exceedingly beautiful sight.
Can you tell me what kind of grass
this is Horses are very fond of it.
Very Respectfully, Yours,
THOS. G. BACON.

The Fall STYLES of Millinery

From the Partisan and New York au-
thorities on the the subject of fashions
we learn that bonnets will be worp lar
ger than heretofore, and will be covered
with great profusion of trimming. The
material used will be principally Lyons
velvet and armure silk. Laees also are
much used. Flowers and feathers will
he worn considerably as ornaments. and
decorations of steel and jet will be pop
ular. A few oxidized articles for trim
mings have been imported. The most
popular shapes Will be very fiaring in
front, giving chance for displaying the
inside trimmings to great advantage
The ribbons for strings and trimmings
will be of gros grain silk, and generally
of two opposition colors, that is, colors
that do not match. Some OF the ribbons
will be OF gros grain and satin mixed.
The prevailing colors will be such SOM
bre hues as bronze, olive, indigo blue,
dark Russian gray, steel color and dark
bottle green. The most fashionable widths
will be between Nos. - and l6. In trim
ming bonnets long shaded feathers will
be much used Wings are no longer to
be used. Round hats will also be much
larger this season than they wore the last,
and the trimmings will be similar to
those of the bonnets, the principal differ
ence being in the strings.

A Row IS TIE SOUTH CAROLINA Gov
xeNoR's OFFrcE.-On Wednesday morn
ine. as we learn from the Columbia San,
ex:Tnal Justice Ben Hernandez, OF Char
lesion, called to have an interview with
Governor Moses, in reference to some mon
ey which the Governor owed him When
he arrived at The ante-room of the Execu
tive Office. he was confronted by door
keeper, who told him the Governor was
engaged and he could not see him. Her
uandez said that his business was urgent.
and insisted on being admitted into the
privste Office of the Governor. The door
keeper refused positively to let him pass,
and in order to prevent him from getting
10 the door, shut it and put himself in a
defensive attitude. Hernandez made a
rush for the door, but the vigllant door
keeper was equal to the occasion, and pre-
vented him from entering by giving him a
violent push this 80 exasperated Herman
dez that he made ar attack on the door
keeper and felled him to the floor. The
Governor, hearing the noise Of the fight,
at once rushed upon the scene, and was
met by the redoubtable e1 trial justice,
who threatened to deal with him in like
manner, if he didn't pay him the money
that was due him. At that juncture,
fortunately for his Excellency, police
man came to fhe rescue, and, after con
siderable difficulty, succeeded IN carrying
the pugilist off. Hernandez claims that
Governor Moses is indebted to him in the
sum of FIVE hundred dollars

A Northern seldier :. Rises to Ex-
nla5n

Mr.. P. F. Duffy, 8 gentleman Of North
ern birth, who fought in the Federal Army
against the South, now an esteemed citi-
sen of North Carolina, anil the Editor OF
the Greensboro Patriot, comments thus
upon Mr. Davis late speech in the follow
ing terms in the last number Of his paper:
"He said that if the Southern people
had anticipated what was in store for them
they would to-day be enjoying their indie
pendence, and it is true.
The leaders of the w.r party in the
North lied to the people of the North and
South, and thus secured the support of the
Northern people and the final surrender
Of the Southern armies They went into
a war with the cry of Union on their hps,
and it was this cry. that filled their armies
which swarmed over the South. When
charged by the Democracy with making 1t
an abolition war, war to free ana en-
franchise the negro, to destroy State Sow
ereignty, to annihilate the rights of eth
,zeus and States, they denied it strenuously
and filed their dungeons with editors and
speakers who had the courage to charge
them w;th it. And yet we have seen all
this brought about, and more, too. than
we ever dreamed OF, and not only the
Southern people, but also the Northern
people cheated" as Mr.. Davis expresses
It. These may pc unpleasant truths fol
Mr.. Davis, or any one else to utter. but
still they be truths, nevertheless, and al
the pens in the Radical domain cannot
unwrite them"

Mr.. EDITOR: i write you few lines
to express sad and mournful scene,
which hope you will publish in the
Aduertiser re. -
Departed this life on the 18th Of July,
1873, old Mr.. Essex Harrison, colored,
who lived all of his long life on the late
Mr.. Jas. Harrisons plantation, and for
forty odd years had been a member oi
the Baptist Church at Gilgal, and had
lived pious and religious life. He was
the father of many sons and daughters,
whom he had led and taught to serve the
Blessed Redeemer. He suffered "a great
deal for the last four years, but at the
call of his Master, on the 18th July last,
fell asleep in Jesus:
Also, departed this life, on the 18th Of
July, 1873, Emiline Nance, the wife OF
Montgomery Nance, a licentiate Minis
ter of the A. M. e. Church, on the Har-
risburg Circuit. They were married the
25th Dec, 1872, at the, place where she
was born and raised. About six months
previous to her death she began to lngei
with painful disease, from which she
suffered great deal. She had been
member of the Methodist Church tel
four years, and lived pious, christian
life, obedient to her Maker, and mucf
subject to prayer. She seemed to have
felt her destiny long before eitapproached
and told her husband a few weeks before
she died that she was going from all hel
suffering before very long; and when thu
moment finally approached she bade he1
husband last farewell, and with smile
closed her eyes in death.

A pouble Murder in school-House

We find IN the Atlanta Herald, of the
4th, the following account of terrible
tragedy that occurred in Burke County
Georgia, on the 2S!h Of August, the result
of difficulty between teacher and
young man, one of his pupils. The teacher
was Mr.. Alfred Alexander, aged forty
years, and the student, Mr. John H. Moss
aged about twenty one A woman, the
wife Of the teacher, was at the bottom o.
the affair. Though not in the dischargt
of any regular duty, it was her custom to
observe the conduct and department of the
pupils, and when she considered shenI
guilty of any breach of decorum to report
them to her husband for reproof or other
punishment. On last Friday she reported
Young Moss, who denied the charge made
byhe and this led to animated and angry
dispute. Alexander became enraged at
the yourg man for the part taken by him
IN the controversy, and. advancing to,
wards Moss, drew knife and stabbed
him in the breast. Moss thereupon plung
ed dagger into Alexanders heart, who
Immediately fell fatally wounded. Just
then Moss turned to leave, but Mrs. Al
e1ander, who was at the side Of her. hus-
band, wi'ung the knife from his hand ano
administered one or two severe cuts to
Moss in the back, near the region Of the
spine. The result was that both bay NOR
tally wounded on the scene of the conflict,
end expired in short time, the one with.
in three minutes of the other It is not
definitely known whether Moss died from
the wounds received from the wife or hus-
band as all were severe and reasonably
sufficient to produce death. The whole
schcol and entire community were thrown
into the deepest CONSERVATION and excite
ment over the affair which, though short,
was 80 decisive and terrible.

How an Old Lady FoIled Two Villains
In Louisiana.

The Opelousas, La, Journal, Of the
18th, ls responsible for the following
Down in the Parish of st. Martin, an m
old widow lady, whose children had ali
married off and left her alone, had been
persuaded to sell her little place and hive
with them. She sold her land, buildings
and improvements one day for $1,000, and
received the money in cash on the spot,
in her own house, where the act OF sale
was passed before two witnesses, the num-
Der required by law, and who witnessed also
the paying Of the money. In a short time
she was to give possession, but she re-
mained in the house the night following
the sale, all alone, or with no masculine
sduH inmates, as was her custom. That
night two negro burglars broke into the
house and demanded her money or her life
She gave it to them, but begged them to
le. her have $lOQ of it, as she owed that
amount, and wanted to pay the debt, when
she would be satisfied. They finally con-
sented to let her keep the SlOO. They
then ordered her to make some coffee for
them to drink. In doing so, she bethought
herself of some strychnine she had IN the
house, and quietly dropped it in the pot
of steaming coffee, and placed it on the
table, with cups, spoons and sugar for
them to pour out and sweeten to their
taste. This they did, and drank ID a Jolly
mood, each one having nine hundred and
ffty dollars in his pocket. But in few
minutes the tables were turned. One gave
up the ghost where he sat at the table IN
his chair, and the other got up, staggered
off few fest, and tumbled over into eter-
nifty. The good old lady recovered her
money, and on examining the persons OF
the black burglarious robbers, they turn
ed out to be the two witnesses to the act
of sale, both white men blackened fol the
occasion-both herneighbors. and one was
her cousin"
