PEACE RESTORED SOME 1NCIDESTS.-The
| many friends of Coiouel Mosby and Captain
| Payne will be glad TO learn, that through
| the cXertion Of General Hunton and Judge
Keith, on the arrival OF Colonel Gosby at
" arIcntou Yesterday, Il reconciliation. credi-
| table aud honorable TO both, vas effected
between the Two gentlemen. 1t but proves
our repeated expression OF the want Of ne
ceSsity Tor Resort to the arbitramcnt pro-
posed in most cases. Colonel Mosby has,
throughout this affair, expressed the highest
regard for his opponent, and from that oppo-
nent's chlralrous character, Weli.known to
this writer. we doubt not his own reciDro-
cation Of the sentiment. But the acerhlty
OF a political quarrel created z morbid sense
of opposition, which led TO the affair. Il,
was no question Of outraged honor" at
all. but a very strong feeling of personal
wrong from political motives.
From our WarrentOn correspondent, whose
letter is mostly taken up with details hereto
fore published, we learn some further par
ticularS. From it we find that the opinion
expressed in the Sentinel that Judge Keith
discovered the affair himself, was correct
one. The merit of the prevention of the at.
fair is due entirely to him. He boards at the
Warren Green Hotel, where the conference
vi StyUNuS NaS uciet, auu opoVi fibo @uo Po'
ting together the suspicious circumstances,
bis natural good sense had little difficulty in
diviniug what was the matter. The story
published in the Star that Mosby said the
publicity was caused by information given
By the wife of Captain Payne is mistake.
Colonel Mosby could not have said so, from
the statement he made to this writer.
Judge Keith, after sending out his tele-
grams, mounted horse himself and set out
for the proposed battlefield, returning to
his former life Of cayalryman. He was,
during the war, lieutenant in Captain
Payne's company, and doubtless enjoyed
keen]y this scout after his former command
er. Captain Payne was traced by him to; a
house near Greenwich that night, and es-
capped by the back way from the judge and
his posse. The squirrel rifles were selected
by Captain Payne because of his skill in the
use OF that weapon, lie being first-rate
shot.
The reconciliation being effected we have
again to express our own satisfaction at
the result, and to express, with Tom Hood,
our hope that all other dupls may have "this
up. shot in the end" General Hunton and
Judge Keith will accept our praise
ondrla Sentinel.

DEATHS.

It is with sadness we record the death OF
Mrs. Mary Hammond. consort of Mr.. B. +.
Hammond, which sad event occurred at the
residence of her son-in-law, Mr.. s. Bleckley,
at about 2 o'clock p. m. on Monday evening
last. The deceased was in the Sind year of her
age, and an estimable lady, beloved and re-
spected by all who knew hor. The cause OF
her death was liver complaint, from which she
had suffered for many weeks. Her remains
were inferred in the Baptist Cemetery at this
place on Tuesday evening last Our sympa-
thies are with her bereaved relatives and
friends.
We regret to learn from the Abbeville Press
and Banner Of the death Of Mr.. Joel ]. Cum
ningham, a well-known citizen Of that County,
which occurred at his residence near Temple
of Health on Tuesday afternoon, 9Th inst, after
short illness, occasioned by injuries received
from fall only few days before. Mr.. Cum
ningham was extensively known to the cltl-
zens of Anderson, and was greatly esteemed
for the sterling integrity of his character and
the generous pulsations of an ardent nature.
He resided in this town for several years IN
early life, and the friends of his youth retain
and cherish the memory of liberal, noble and
self-sacrificing nature, whose deeds OF KIND
ness and generosity were never wanting to
prove the fidelity of his professions May the
green turf press lightly DER the grave which
covers his manly form.

!. The county Tax Union.


We are requested to invite attention to the
facs that the regular quarterly meeting of the
Anderson County Tax Union will Occur on the
Hrss Monday in January next. Business OF In
terrsst and Importance will be presented for con.
Alteration, and it Is hoped there will be fuli
attendance Of delegates. Only 3 few Of the SUBJ
ordinate Tax Unions have as yet returned ros'
ters Of their members, and lists Of taxpayers
and voters, as reyuired by the County Union.
Delegates are requested to furnish these lists at
the January meeting.
The aims and objects of this organization
should be kept steadily in view by the ta1-pay-
ers. A complete, thorough and compact organ
ization should be constantly maintained TOR the
next two years, in order to give encouragement
and: support to every measure of practical re-
form in the administration of the State govern
mneant. The promises of reform and the fulfill
ment of these pledges are not exactly one and
the same thing, and unless the taxpayers keep
always on the alert, ready to sustain correct
measures and vigilant to denounce- the SEM
blance of dishonesty, the weight of their inhu-
encevin not be felt as it should in the redemp-
tion of our beloved commonwealth. We can
never safely disband until surrounded by indu-
bitable evidence that honesty and economy are
once again securely in possession Of every de-
partnent of the government.

BRIEF MENTION.

Good work is being done on the streets in the
eastern section of town, and soon they will be
in an excellent condition.
The genial spring-like weather which we
had been enjoying for some weeks past, was
changed to freezing cold and wintry blasts on
Tuesday last.
The many new and handsome residences
which have been erected In town within the
last few months, are now nearly all occupied
by their respective owners.
We are requested to announce hat the young
ladies and gentlemen Of Honea Path and vi
cinity will give an entertainment on Friday
evening, 25th inst, consisting Of Charades,
Colloquys and Tableau1, interspersed with
sacred, setimental and comic songs, accompa-
MED by instrumental music. The proceeds to
be applied to theimprovement of the Academy.
Admission, 25 cents.
Last week we committed an error in saying
that the German immigrants who arrived for
Mr.. B. F. Crayton were to be distributed on
| various farms in the County. We understand
since that Mr.. Crayton ordered them exclusive
| ly for his own farm, which he proposes to cul-
tivate on an improved system next year. Why
not others follow his example and improve the
agricultural system of the up-countrv?

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

A serious accident happened on Saturday
last. by which the left arm of ]. P. Reed, Jr.,
son of our worthy townsman, Hon. J. +. Reed,
WAS 80 badly shattered as to require immediate
amputation. It seems that he went out 10 hunt
in the morning, and proceeded beyond the
town limits. near Col. Cochrans plantation,
and when crossing q fence on the side OF the
road. he went to set his gun down on the inside.
when the hammer struck against rail, dis
charging the contents of the gun into his left
arm above the elbow, tearing away the muscle
and about three inches of the bone. He got
down from the fence, and lady passing by
hearing his cries, gave the alarm. He was con-
veyed home as soon as possible, and several
surgeons sent for, who, upon examining the
wound declared that the arm would have to be
amputated. The operation was performe" DS

and SyInmes He is now improving slowly,
and we hope that ere long no Will Dc oc' VI

aun,,sta and. Hartwell Railroad.

,.A,meeting of the Directors of the Augusta
and Hartwell Railroad was held in the city OF
Augusta last week, to consider the indebted
zaess of the company and devise some plan OF
settling with its creditors. Col. F. E. Harrlson'
President of the Road, presided over the meet
ing. and stated the objects in view, which, be-
sides adjusting old claims against the corpora
tion, included an effort to secure additional
subscriptions of stock, and to ascertain the
true status of the question of State aid to assist
in building the road. Under the charter, the
State of Georgia was to guarantee endorsement
TO the amount of $1,000 per mile on their
bonds, but the Legislature subsequently re-
pealed the act granting State aid to railroads,
except where vested rights had been obtained.
The main point for determination at this time
is whether this corporation had vested rights,
under contracts heretofore made. These mat
ters were discussed at length, and committees
were appointed to procure additional suoscrip'
tion of stock, and plans arranged for an early
settlement with the creditors. The opinion
was expressed that the acceptance of the char
ter by the, company, and entering into contracts
for grading and building ten miles of the Road,
had already secured vested rights, which enti-
tied the corporation to State aid. This is q
moot question, however, which we presume
viii! require judicial decision before it is final
" determined. On motion of Col. E. NJ.
Rucker, it was resolved that the annual meet
ing of the stockholders be held in Augusta on
the second Tuesday in May next.
