They could not have chosen a better
field for their labors; and it is hoped
that their efforts will be crowned with
success, and that the wickedness pre-
vailing there will be overthrown. The
next charge should be made on that
stronghold, New York City.
Habeas Corpus Mackey is not even
given credit for sending State Senator
Walker and School Commissioner
Blake, of Chester, both rascals of high
degree to the penitentiary, inasmuch
as it was thought he was serving
personal interest in getting them out
of the way. It matters little, though,
what the object, these men are re-
ceiving part Of their deserts, and an
example of this kind may prove salu-
tary in bringing others to justice.
The census returns Of Greenwood
and Niuety-Six townships, which we
copy from the New Era, is as fol-
lows:
Numbers of farms in Greenwood
township managed by whites, 1856;
by colored, l25. Numbers of farms
in Ninety:S;x township managed by
whites, l07; by colored, l40. Total:
sos.
Amount of cultivated land in the
two townships, l5,9 ,924 acres.
Amount of cotton lint, 401, ,735
lbs., or 1,004 bales.
Corn, 1854 bushels; wheat g.
512; oats, l9,103.
Fertilizers, 200 tons.
The New York Herald, a good
authority on most matters, thinks that
the advance in the price Of cotton is
quite natural, that the crop was over
estimated. 1t is reasonable to indulge
the hope that the check given to the
downward tendency, which has had so
depressing an effect upon the farmer
aud all classes Of trade, is efectual.
The cary opening of the staple in
consequence of the drouth and the
necessity which planters felt Of throw
ing their cotton on. the market, early
tended to the depression iu prices, but
as the immediate necessities are re-
lieved and the price improves, the
supply will not be so great and the
effect on its value will be marked.
1t is hoped that the despondeacy so
long felt will give place to better
condition.

Mr.. ZION INsrITUTE.-Mr. R. Fl.
Clarkson, Principal of Mt. Zion ln-
stitute, having been elected principal
of the Newberry Male Academy, has
resigned his position in Winnsboro,
believing that Newberry offers wider
field. Mr.. Clarkson has been resi-
dent of Winpsboro for nearly three
years, and We regret to lose him. He
has been a jealous instructor. We
besreak for him the kind attentions Of
the people Of Newbcrry, and we feel
assured that if the parents do their
duty, Mr.. Clarkson will have flourish
ing and successful school.
Upon the resignation Of MIR. Clark
son, Capt W. NJ. Dwight vas elected
to supply his place By the unanimous
consent Of trustees and patrons. Capt.
Dwight was very popular as a teacher
several years ago, and We believe that
in him the trustees have made an ad-
mirable selection.
The change will take place on Oeto'
Der 18th. To the outgoing and the
incoming principals we tender our best
wishes WiSnsboro NeWs.

Nix. EDITORIALS this up-colntry
town is Il favorite resort Of both inva-
lids and pleasure seekers during the
summer months, I will try to impose
on your good-natured paper by letting
YOU hear Of it and me. Having been
here long enough to see the visitors of
this season come and 60, sense Of
loneliness comes over me, and impels
me to speak of the departed ones now
at their respective homes in the cities
of Columbia, Charleston, Olangeburg,
Augusta and Greenville, as well as other
places of smaller and perhaps greater
note. Deals Hotel and Johnson's large
boarding house have been packed, in
what we call camp meeting style.
This is a growing town, and certainly
should be, to correspond with the repu-
tation of the Mineral Spring, which has
been improved, to all appearances, by
an elevated stone fixture and leaden
pipe or spout, through which it pours
into large basin below, and there IS
an extensive circular pavement around
it, too. Spring Park is q very romantic
spot, at least the scenery around is
charming-the now vacant rustic seats,
the two foot-bridges which span the
creek near by, the tall embankment of
the railroad, and "last but not least, "
the third story of f"Williamston Female
College" towers nearly in a state of
completion.
Some pretty dwellings are going up,
and they speak of rearing some cot
tages for the accommodation of next
summers visitors. as room seemed to be
the desideratum this season.
The Methodist Church is now about
undergoing repairs.
A good deal of religious interest has
b4en manifested recently among both
the Baptists and Metho,iists. Several
have been added to the church through
the inssrunl ntality of their respective
pastors, and Revs. o. A. Darby,
Samuel Lander, Drs. Broadus. Williams
and others. Very truly,

On the third day of Synod, Rev. j. l.
Miller, President of the Lutheran Fe-
male College at Staunton. Va, appeared

The attendance at Synod of ministers

interest manifested by all in the work
before the body is being pushed forward
with great energy.
On Sabbath morning at II o'clock,
Rev. Jacob Austin, of the Georgia
Synod. preached in the school house,
and Rev. j. F. Probst preached in the
church at the same hour the ordination
sermon. after which Messrs. E. A.

of Staunton, Va. gave the children a

The State Fair.

The 9th of November next is ap-
pointed as the day for the commence
ment of the State Fair, but as yet We
notice that this important fact is not
generally brought to the attention Of
the public by the proper officers of the
Association. Of course most people
are aware that the Fair is to be held,
and that it is expected and hoped that
every man and woman will do their
duty, in contributing to make it sue
cess, by getting something ready for
exhibition: but large number, unless
the matter be brought to their atten-
ton, either forget or treat it with in,
difference. We think it the duty Of
those who have it in charge to notify
the people through the papers Of each
county. or to send circulars broadcast
over the State. We do Let wish it
understood that We are soliciting an
advertisement by any means, but we
do think that proper and attractive
notices should appear in every paper
in the State-at least one in each
county-and further believe that If
the request were made, the notices
would be inserted free Of charge, in
order 20 promote the success of our
Annual Fair. We are satisfied that a
greater Interest would be manifested
we're this done, for there are those
VINO require something Of this kind
to stir them up.
As above stated the Fair commences
on the 9Th, and the promise is that It
will be an important occasion, and We
trust that our citizens are preparing
to make an exhibit which will rot on
" reflect credit on themselves but be
promotiye Of the best interests Of the
Society and State. Let all attend
who can.

regret that the crowded condition of

extended notice of it. We acknow-

Editorial Review.

The Columbia Ph9nir has sus-
pended indefinitely, and its proprietor
gone into bankruptcy. The report is
current that new daily is to be
started in Charleston, and that Selby
will be connected with it.
Judge Bacon, of Edgefeld, who
went to London to look after the i'm
mense estate of which the Jennings
Family Association claim to be heirs,
has returned. He reports the fortune
a reality, and the chances good. A
meeting of the family is to held at
Birmingham, England.
Bergb, who is eudeavoring to evan
selize the world in regard to its cruelty
to animals, has lately been rapping
Mr.. Bennett of the Herald on the
head because of his fondness for
pigeon shooting. Bennett is iuexora-
bic, and instead of gratifying Mr..
Bergh, calls for more pigeons. It is
his besetting sin.
\ discussion is going on in the
religious papers as to the proper length
of sermons. Most of the opinions
favor thirty minutes unless the occa-
sion be unusual The Rev. DR.. Bush
ness says that it is impossible to "turu
round" in less than forty minutes.
We thiok it depends altogether on
the preacher, some will bear listening
to much longer than others.
A national convention is called to
be held in St. Louis on the 23rd Of
November. to consider the cunstruc-
tion of Pacific Railroad through the
States and Territories of the South
west. 1t is a great enterprise and
should have the benefit Of good coup-
sci. Charleston and Columbia will
send delegates from their Boards Of
Trade.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey will be-
gin their evaugeliziag work III the
city of Brooklyn on the 3lst. An
edifce capable of holding 1000 per-
sons has been prepared for them.
