"nNLY An ANIMAL"

In the reply of the GLLENwA-
TIERS Horn to our notice of last
week the only expression burdened
with a thought is one of obscene
and vulgar import. If the vulgari-
ty cf the editor Of that sheet could
be analysed it might be found TO
have it5 origin in his illiteracy.-
"Sir, he hath never fed Of the
daintics that are bred in a book !;
he hath not eat paper as it were
he hath not drunk ink his intel
lect is not replcnishcd he is only
an animal only sensible in the
dullcr parts"

THE VALLEY x. Il. CONVEN-
TON.

This lorg talked of asscmblage
had lis short career Of one day at
Staunton last Wednesday. From
the Paucily Of the representation
and from the empty proceedings it
was a fitting demonstration of the
empty purpose of tlosc who con-
ceived it. With the exception Of
Newberry and Williams, of BLAND :,
and McElhaney, of Russell, there
was not present a delegate from
the country west Of Botetourt, the
proposed starting point for the
Charter. Lee, Scott, end Wise
were not even represented by
proxy, showing clearly that they
had no confidence in Mr.. CARROTS
precautions. Judge Allen, of Bot
etourt, was made Chairman and all
the other delegates we're q ,rious-
~ elected Vicc~Presidents. The
vast array of empty benches were
eloquent in support Of a resolution
to clothc with delegated authority
the few spectators who happened
TO be present, Then they proposed
to wait till more persons could be
telegraphcd for. There happened
to be present several valley men
who were not fools, and Judge
Sheffcy raised the cry of Malone
Malone, but VIXEN Riddlcbargcr
exposed him as the paid attorney
of Garrett he curled up, and the
little meeting then whcreascd and
rcsolutcd that the Valley Il. r.
ought TO be extended and that
therefore the Legislature was in
structcd to cxtcud it to Moccasin
Gap. We suppose there will not
be delegate or Senator present,
next winter at Richmond, who will
not have had more authentic and
respectable instruction from any
Saturday afternoon assemblage of
his constituents at some of the nu-
merous country stores in his coun~
ty. The movement of Mr.. Garrett
is merely a species Of blaclllnail
upon the A. NJ. d r. r., and his
Staunton Convention was an APP
prOximatc fizzle.

The Greenville hte'ljgencer says
there is considerable dissatisfaction
concerning the time set for the Con-
serva'ive Congressional Convention
in that town, the LIST of October, and
that some of the counties have re-
fused to recognize it. We presume
the Convention will be a failure =,
Sultan County refused to send dele
gates at all, and a nomination unless
general asscnted ~ will be an abOr
ton and Col. Mcclellan can have TIE
track as far as We are able to prog
nosticatc. We presume he would be
the nominee if one Should be made
and lie can run justas well without it.

TWO TO ONE.

The citizen of this county who
gave to us the first two items in to-
days list of Births calls attention
to the fact that the two twins are
McMu!lin boys and the single one
a Terry boy. And this is not all.
The two localities are Int a mile
apart and the two births were only
an hour apart and just half way be-
tween them and near the same
hour there was another McMullia
birth, but unfortunately it was a
girl and will have to await the ter
mination Of the struggle for female
suffrage.

THE HERALD VS.. THE REG
lister.

The Marion PATRIOT & HERALD
of last Thursday replies to the Sa-
lem REGISTER rather roughly and
SAYS that while that paper
is INDEBTED to Gov. McMullin
for portion of its purchase mon
cy for the Patriot, YET it is 10 more
tl.an the editors are able to pay at
any time and that the Gov has
been very accommodating and kind
about It, and that aside from the
contract he has with them to print
his campaign documents there are
no business transactions between
them. They deny that there is any
agreement between them Icy which
the debt is TO be cancelled for their
support. They makea pretty good
hit at the Register for having sup
ported an Independent candidate
last year for the House of Dele
gates, and they might have ad-
ded that the Register had declared
pror to the Convention, that il
either McMullin or Bowen, should
be the nominee il would bolt the
nomination. They leave Gov. Nc
Mullin to meet the charge that he
said he Gould close the Office at any
iinc.

Wrong Impression.

We are sorry that our esteemed
friend Col. T. p, Bowen. seems to
be of the opinion that the little joke
told at his expense, by the SENTINEL 4,
two weeks ago was intended as a
reflection" upon Gen. r. I, Bow
en-.
This is mistake; no such thing
was intended, nor was it intended to
cause the impression that the Col.
was drinking, for he was not, to
our knowledge. We looked upon
Col. Bowen as good-natured, jolly
fellow, and had no idea of causing
offense, and take pleasure in correct
ing any impression that may have
had this effect.

Religious.

The Right Reverend w. B. Howe,
Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the
Diocese of South Carolina, visited our
Parish on Saturday last, accompanied
by the Rev. p. +. Stevens, Missionary
to The Churches at Anderson and New
berry, aud the Rev. E. G. Edgerton,
Rector of st. Thaddeus Church, Aiken.
Services were held in Trinity Churcl,
at candle-lighting, at which there was
a very good attendance. Prayers were
said by Mr.. Edgerton, and a very excel
lent sermon preached by Mr.. Stevens
upon the rite of Confirmation, urging
the Scriptural authority for its use, as
the initiatory ceremony of Christian
membership, and making an earnest
appeal for the early ratification of oul
baptismal VOWS.
On Sunday morning, in spite of the
large number of the congregation who
were absent in the mountains and else
where, there was very full attendance
at the interesting religious services. In
the absence of the Rev. w. II. Capers,
of the Methodist church, most of his
congregation were present, as we'll as
others from the other churches of the
town. Morning prayers were said by
the attending olergymen, after which a
very able discourse was preached by
Bishop Howe from I'd Corinthians, Is
Xix; "And as we have borne the image
of the earthly we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly" which pointed
out in clear and striking terms the anal
ogy which existed between the unre-
generate and Christian life, under the
operation of uniform law of develope-
ment. Original sin is not so much lm-
puted to us as inherited, and we suffer
the penalties of Adams transgression,
not so much from our covenant relation
with him, as from our having the same
nature. So our new life is germ i'm
planted by Christ, which shall bud and
blossom in transformed and gloritied
body. These views were expounded
and enforced in discourse of rare beau
ty and power, and of which we shall
not attempt even synopsis. 1t exhib-
tied profound thought, clothed in the
attractive garb of ornate and scholarly
diction, and made profound impress
sion. After the sermon the impressive
right of Confirmation was administered
to three young ladies. Whilst they
kneel before the altar with uncovered
heads, the Bishop places his hands upon
them, and bestows his blessing. The
Communion was then administered.
At night services were again held,
and the congregations from all the other
churches united in the worship. After
evening prayer, very able and we'll
discourse was preached by
Mr.. Edgerton, from Acts "a: xvi; "And
herein do I exercise myself, to have
always conscience void of offence, to-
ward God and toward men,"
The Bishop on yesterday visited st.
Stephens church, Wellington, lately
under the pastoral charge of Rev. o. T.
Porcher.

AN HONEST GRANGER.-W had the
pleasure on. Monday of visit from Cdl.
p. F.tWardlaw. a native Of .Abbeville,
but long prominent citizen of Florida.
He is the Master bf the State Grange,
took q prominent part in the last Con-
vention at st. Louis, and has been can
vassing the State of Florida in the
interests of the Order. He wishes us to
say of him that he is "an honest
granger" that next to the Bible and the
Church, he believes in the Grange, and
feels assured that if the country is to be
redeemed, it must be through the in
strumentality of the Order. His con-
versation has almost inspired us with
something of the same enthusiasm.
He is very earnest in deprecating the
introduction of politics into the organi-
zation.

HANGING FOR FUN.-Some Of color.
ed urchins about town indulged their
passion for pluy few days since by Civ.
ing a mimic representation of the re-
cent hanging of Banks. Two Of their
number were selected as fit subjects for
the gsllows, one representing Banks and
the other Jerry Coleman. The moose
was adjusted about the neck of the first,
his dying speech listened to, the sup
ports knocked away, and the victim
swung off. But for the timely interfer-
ence of the old people, there would
have been a dead durkey, and real
trngedy. An effectual stop was put to
further operations and Jerry Coleman
escaped any further repetition of the
death penalty. .-

CoGoREp CAMp-MEET1Na ING AT TABER-
NActE.-The colored camp-meeting at
Tabernacle church, near the Branch
Railroad, some four and a half miles
from town, commenced on Thursday
last, and will close to-day. AS usual it
attracted large crowd, and OIL Sunday
every available vehicle was pressed into
service, to carry those who wished to
attend. Every section of the county
was represented, and the village was
nearly deserted by the colored people.
The crowd upon the ground numbered
over a thousand, and sermons were
preached on Sunday by the Presiding
Elder Weston, and Revs. Porter and
Baker. Everything passed off quietly
but the pleasure of the day was much
marred by heavy rain, which drench-
ed the occupants of many of the return
ing vehicles.

A WAR OF RACES, the New York
Tribune, we think very justly, regards as
myth, conjured up by the heated Inn
aginations of the timid. 1t would be
madness for either race to engage in
such a warfare, and the whole power OF
the Government would soon put an end
to it when begun. 1t is equally absurd,
we think, to be attempting to form a
white mans party or black mans
party. As long as we remain members
