Humbert. Because Andrews advis-
ed me to keep quiet until after the cleo
tion, and promised to get me out all
right. He also told my wife to advise
me to do this, but you see he has de-
ceived me. 1t is even rumored now
that I am to be convicted SO as to pre-
vent me from giving my testimony and
in order to cover up the dark deeds
of this man; and SO 1 ask the people of
Orangeburg County, who want to know
where their money is gone, to give me
a hearing through the columns of The
News and Courier, and to watch these
proceedings closely. want to remind
them of the fact that, at the last term
of the court Andrews was reported to
the grand jury for indictment, and 1
am told, that when the report of the
jury was handed in, his name was err
ased from the original in lead pencil.
This is the man who has robbed me;
the man appointed me because I was
young and inexperienced, and because
he could use me as his tool. Itis due
to myself and my wife and child, and
to the party to which belong, that
the people of the State should know
him.

On Thursday morning, Oct. 29th, ut
the residence of her father, Esquire
Bngg, near Lynnville, Giles county, by
Rev. ". Stoddert, Miss SENANTHA BEGG
to Capt. J. d. TOwNER.
There was a small party of near
friends and relatives present. The MIN
lister officiating, after making few gem
eral remarks on the bliss Of the mar
ried, of which ne has seen so much
himself, proceeded to say:
Peculiar circumstances justify pass
ing allusion. You were born, Capt.
Towner, in distant part of the coun-
try. When sectional antmosities precip-
itated civil war, you fought against the
south. You came down with con-
nuerinR army, which carried steel TO
the Bosom and flame TO the roof. Your
brother officers in many cases used their
irresponsible authority to Cypress the
citizens, over whom they had temporary
SWAY. You yourself had power which
YOU was free to exercise Tor eNll anu
self-adyantage. Instead of doing this
Won so showed the force of gentlemanly
and christian principle in all your acts
that although the people over whom you
ruled knew that you had shed your
blood against their cause, they regarded
Won as a friend, and will remember you
with gratitude. The war was hardly
closed before you were received into the
bosom of one OF the most conspicuous
families of the country. You stand up
| this bright hour to make your lifelong
vows 10 one who is justly regarded a
one of the most brilliant OF the women
| OF the county. Your history shows thal
our people regard man as ne Is, AllO
not as he is bonn North or south Oh Ger,

nv the many friends of both of you
that your fair bride and yourself Wi

The Rush to Kansas & Colorado

The indications are that the rush to Kan
sas and Colorado in 1874 will be greater than
ever. The shortest way to reach the far west
is through st. Louis, the great Mississippi
Valley City Of over 4SO, 900 inhabitants, and
thence West over the st. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, which reaches all
the great land grants in the west, and runs
six fast Express trains, two more than any
other road between the Mississippi and the
Missouri MYERS. This road, in the last two
years. has expended over two million dollars,
besides earnings, in extraordinary improve
msnts Of railway, in relsying its line with
tho best quality of new steel and iron rails
on broad new ties, and in passenger equip
mCnt, having substituted for ordinary cars
new reclining chair coaches, with every APP

DIR. Rivers, as our readers are aware,
has returned To cOllege-life. The Doc
tor was so labOrious, enthusiastic, be-
loved and successful as a pastor in Lou
lsyille, that we were really surpriZed
when we heard of his transfer to the
Tennessee Conference, and appointed to
the Presidency of Martin Female Col
lege, Pulaski. But he has consented TO
take charge of that promising institu-
ton, and enters upon his duties with his
accustomed energy and assurance of
success. The college has a good, solid
foundation, and DR.. Rivers is the very
man to build upon it. We hope that it
will soon have all the accommodation
and apparatus it needs, and be filled
with students. We look forward to its
development with great interest. DR..
Rivers has been received by his old
friends in Tennessee with open arms
and hearts. We devoutly hope and be-
lieve that he will prosper in this new de-
Christian ADVOCATE.

For the CITIZEN.
Bethany.

Mr.. EDITOR As nothing has APP
peared in your most interesting col
umns from our "little burg" in some
time, we will chronicle you a few lines
from this point. The question has
probably arisen in your mind, what has
become of Bethany? Has she been laid
waste, made desOlate, and become the
habitatiOn of the owl, the cOrmOraut
and the sneaking serpent? Or has
some wild and ferOciOus beast of the
forrest come by night and driven away
the inhabitants of that proud city? We
answer no. But she still survives.
And in the progress of time, as she
marches onward with gigantic strides,
Is adding something to our little town
of a nature that has q tendency to
''sOOthe the soul and tranquilize the
heart" For there are some of as pref
ty girls coming on the carpet" now, as
ever was gazed upon. The young men
are brushing up and washing their feet
preparatory for the matrimonial ques-
ton, which is greatly agitated. We
suspect that foreigners are breaking in
TO some of our boys arrangements.
Well, as far as that Is concerned, Beth
any can boast of as nice, refined, gen
teel young men as any place in the coun-
ty, ard if some of our girls don't mind
they'll swap the ''witch for the devil
yet.
Farmers are very busy sowing whea
and gathering their crops. Corn is Ue1g
light; cotton viii average about half
crop.
The P's Of II. are in a fiOurishing con-
dition now at Bethany. They had a big
supper not long since. When they
have another l would that they would
remember MIR. Editor and Sleeping
Beauty. Promising you more in the fu-
ture, will close.
