Two tienuine Pioneers.

Among the Pioneers who gath
cred at Aurora Oh Tuesday, say
the Statesman, the " Oldest inhabi
tant" was but a freshly arrived i'm
migrant compared with two olt
veterans of the Colony, named
Heinrich keil and Adam Steinbach
| Not that these two men were such
remarkably early settlers i'll Oregon
-keil came out with the origina
colony aud Steinbach about nine
years ago--but on account of theil
TRANSATLANTIC history, they were The
real central figures ofthe entire pat.
riarchal gathering. Both Keil and
Steinbach are the survivors OF.
NAPoLEoN's EXPEDITION TO MOS.
COW,
and probably the only representa-
lives Of that fated army in the
United States. They both wit
messed the burning of the Russian
capital and each has many d thrill.
ing tale to relate Of that most dis
sstrous campaign. Keil was q
member Of a company of one hun
dred and fifty of whom only three
returned to France, all the others
having perished either in battle or
in the snow banks OF Russia that
were the frozen tomb Of so many of
the very flower of the best army Of
Europe. SteinbaCh is one of the
fifty y'survivors Of q company Of two
hundred men. Atterward, they
were both
IN THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.
Bnt in this, instead of being to-
gether, they fought oD opposite
sides, Keil with Blucher and Stein
back witIrNapoleob. One Of them
is 81 and the other s5 year old.
Both possess their faculties we'll,
and. are 81 full of soldier pride as in
the days when they marched and
fought under the most daring if not
the best general Of history. Tues

1t is Not Generally Known

That the shortest possible route between
the South and Great West is through 81.
LOWS, over the ST.. Louis, Kansas City and

surprising importance by reason of immense
expenditures in the last two years, of over
two million dollars, besides earnings, in i'm
provcmcnts of roadway, in re!aying their
line with best gu Ility CT new steel and iron
for ordinary cars, new reclining chair coach
cs, elegantly carpe,cl and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet conycniences for Ia.
dies, gentlemen and families travelling with
children, without any extra charge. This
line runs six fast Express trains between tie
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, two more
than any other road, and connects with ull
the great Land Grant Roads in the West,
and has adopted all modern appliances for
comfort, speed and safeguards against accl-
dents including nigh. and day watchmcn who
inspect the road before aud after the passage
of each train TO see that everything is in Or
der. We recommend those contemplating q
trip West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, it being the only
line running through cars between ST Louis
and Omaha, and for tickets over this excel
lent line we refer our readers to any ticket
agent selling through tickets 10 the West. For

Address Of Col. Richard
LathcrS.

We are in receipt of the address of
the above named gentleman, which was
delivered before the New England
Society of Charleston on Forefathers
Day; Dec. 22, 1873, and now publish
ed in pamphlet form by the Neers d.
Courier. We have given the address
a careful perusal and fud it full of
eloquent, manly and patriotic senti-
ments. Such sentiments should be
scattered throughout our State that
they may arouse to action the slum-
bering energies Of our broken spirited
people. According to Col. Lathers
we ourselves are to be blamed for
much of the evil existing in this State.
We have been lacking in unity and
activity. We have heard the robbers
at tho door but have slept on in care
less Indifference. He recommends a
union Of all honest, patriotic men, re-
gardless Of race, color or condition, to
wage war against corruption in hig!i
places, by an earnest, vigorous and
persistent prosecution in the courts Of
the State against every official of
whose corruption and venality evi-
dence may be found. This is a wise
suggestion, and if carried out with
vim will rescue our State from much
that is disgusting, and resurrect its
honor which Las been buried for years.

Immigration Societies.

From various parts of the State we
hear of the formation of societies for
the systematic advancement of the
cause of immigration. In Anderson,
Barnwell, Chester, Fairfield, kershaw,
Oconee, Walhalla and other counties,
societies for this purpose have been
organized and promise to be produc-
tive of much good. Newberry should
not be behind. She should at once Or
ganize an immigration society. 1t IS
true the Grange here is moving in that
direction and we think it q good plan,
and wish it success. But as all the ele-
ments arenot represented in the Grange,
we think, in addition to that organize
ton, society in which all the interests
are represented should Immediately be
formed. BY united, systematic effort
much more can be accomplished in a
shorter time and with less expense than
by acting Individuality One thing we
would like to mention to the immigrant
seekers of Newbe,1y, which is to re-
member the people of Great Britain in
their selections of laborers. If there
are q people on tine face of the globe
better OF more suitable than they we
are not aware Of it. We have not the
slightest objection in the world to the
German and other foreigners who are
coming into our State. We welcome
them and hope mere will come. But
let us have :. heavy sprinkle of English,
Scotch and Irish, and we will ever in
crease the brain as well as the muscle of
South Carolinx.
