avenue Of escape. The sheep finding he

foremost at his front center. The collision
was an awful one. Mr \ 5 nose and face

in streams, sending him backwards almost
insensihlc. His presence of mind did not
forsake bin, however, and he clinched Mr.

Removal Of Troops.

Dispatches some days since stated
that the troops now in service in the
South would be removed for other
service. The cavalry We believe will
receive orders soon for leaving
Whether the troops will all be with
drawn cr.not is not known, but if they
are, some Of them will no doubt leave
with regret, for their stay in the South
has been pleasant, and their duty light,
in spite Of the cry raised not only at the
North 5ut here ia cur midst, by those
who are determined to see no good in
the South. Our people, too, will re-
greet the withdrawal Of many Of them,
because they have rendered themselves
not only agreeable, but have shown an
appreciation of the true condition.
They have not been in the way, but
rather an acquisition in keeping down
an evil which the violent detractors of
the peaceful habits Of the people would
like to force upon us, and for another
consideration beside, that they circu-
late large amount Of money through
business channels. In noticing the
Legislative items this week it will be
seen that resolutions have been passed
to request the President not to make
the removal. What the body is up
to We know not. This resolution is a
SANDER, however, on the State.
Since writing the above we find that
the rumor of entire withdrawal is not
correct, and that but few changes
will be made.

The Progressive Age.

Put in creditable, lively, and we
believe, an acceptable appearance on
Friday last-st. Valentine day: itself
a happy augury Of its successful pro-
gress. It's general make up and filing
shows that it is in mastery hands. and
as the promise is made to wake up the
old sRipVan Winkle Sleep into which
oar. good old town Of Newberry and
its people have fallen, We indulge the
hepefthat better time is in store.
Two heads are better than one, &C., IS
an old trite saying, and We have long
felt that two papers would do more
to advance material interests and give
an impetus to progress than one could
or would. under the most favorable
circumstances. Mr.. Slider is no no
vice at the editorial bellows, and will
blow lustilyin his new role Of pro-
gress, and that he will waken up the
old echoes: break the long sleep, brush
down the cob-webs which cover much
CT good. and make old things new, we
will not question. We extend to the
Progressive \ ee cur editorial greeting,
and the right hand Of fellowship, and
trust no jars may occur to disturb the
friendly relations which should ever
exist between it and the Herald.

twelve months advertisements.

Two weeks ago the announcement
was made in this paper, that the CO.
partnership heretofore existing In ITS
conduct was dissolved. and our brother,
the junior partner, gave his kindly and
graceful valedictory. Some have Won
dered at our reticence on the subject,
and lest the thought grow, that We
were careless, and are indifferent, we
beg now to say, that our business re-
lations had existed for SO many years
that the sundering of those ties were
painful, and that it was done with ma
ny regrets. Had it been but an ordi-
nary partnership, between men uncon-
nected in any other way. and not one
brother with another, the case would
have been altogether different, and we
might have written fullsome para
graph, expressive Of what was felt and
more that was, not felt. But it was
not so. Hence our silence. We beg
our friends to discard any injurious
thought. 1t is merely a business
change, and in whatever sphere Of ac-
tivn our brother is now or hereafter
may engage in, his interest and vel.
fare shall always, as they ever have, be
our chief consideration. ... ..-
