The Letter of President Davis is a model Of
eslmness, dignity, and for5earance, under great
brovocation. If it were rot worse than useless to
cucumber the paper with such trash, it would be
interesting to contrast it with the letter written by
the Secretary Kimball, ja defence Of las course IL
0iraq the iarduti0a. Writing even on that line
the poor groveiug could not conceal his low breed
ing, and keep from insulting the South SIR. Da-
Wis has given beautiful Instance of the difference
between a well-bgcd gentleman and all that Win
nebago scum. 1t is not out of place to make a
note Of this transaction. We by no means hold
the whole North responsible for this mean and
spiteful conduct but It is no doubt exactly the
spirit which animates large part Of their society.
And when Northern papers speak of their over
flowing and universal love for the South, and of

We have just passed through most delightful
communion season at Upper Long Cane church in

for the outpouring of Gods Spirit, and they were
not disappointed. The meeting began on Saturday
with one addition by letter. and the next day seven
young persons professed faith 10 Christ
That good brother from Anderson Court House,
the Rev. d. Il Frierson, was present on the Sab.

effective service by presenting the gospel in all its
simplicity and ovellness.
The Rsv. r. N. Pratt, of Abbeville G. H also
preached one afternoon an impressive sermon to
the young. Our first Inquiry meeting was held on
Monday, and it was a moving melting season to
see so many persons retire to the session house.
Two more meetings of the same kind on the two
succeeding days brought still greater numbers to
seek an interest in the prayers Of God people
On Thursday we closed one of the most interest

EOR TIE HERALD.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Since early this morn
ing our town has grown very rapidly.
On street three houses went up,
and are now occupied by live men.
Such is the effect of a railroad. Where
this spirit of go-forwardness will end
none knoweth. In fact, it looks like a
little sea port toson. The climate is
bracing, water pure, but as yet no
mineral spring is found. I hear of no
attempt to start a Journal. This is ac-
counted for from the fact that the
''HERALD" is taken by the wise, and
any new one could not thrive.
The community still enjoys large
share of quietude. Farmers busy in
gathering the light crops. Cheerful
ness is seen in the faces of the farmers,
and they are trying to carry out the old
maxim, "If where you try and don't
succeed, try, try again" Small grain
is being sown In abundance, and we
prophesy that wise is be who continues
wise till late fall.
There seems to be general awaken
ing throughout this country upon the
subject of religion. Success has attended
the preached word in the various de-
nominations. The Methodist Church
has shared largely in these meetings.
The Clinton Circuit has had an addition
of eighty-four members. There are
four prayer-meetings held, in which
sixty-6ve names are enrolled, all taking
part when called on. Three denomina-
tons are represented in them. and we
can Of truth say:like the Psslmist-
Behold how good. and pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity"
We have had the sad privilege this
morning to stand by the bedside of the
dying wife of our esteemed friend, W.
H. Farrow. Her last words to me
were: Il am almost home; l have a
good;home; all is bright, bright, bright" :"
She will soon sleep in Hopewell grave
yard to await the resurrection morn.
These random thoughts are penned
by the bed of a very sick daughter,
with an effort to decide whether I must
obey the "powers that be-. and attend a
c. NJ. ffty-fve miles away or remain
home. "Duties do conflict"

Rail- Roads and FreightS.,

The disagreemeuts between the G..
/ c., Wilmington & A, and tie Air
Line Railroads, subject merchants and
business men sometimes to no little
inconvenience, in that while the Green
vile road is not allowed to collect
freights on the other roads mentioned,
goods are occasionally delayed at
GreenvilIe and Columbia, subjectiug
merchants not only to loss, but much
trouble. The Wilmington & a. road
has, however, shown much considera-
ton and hberality in forwarding
freights to this point trusting to the
receiver for the payment Of dues after
their delivery, and their course is
highly appreciated, and we feel certain
that no loss will be sustained by that
company. Our Own road, however, right
here at our own doors, will deliver no
freight until the charge is paid in full.
We do not question the right to do so,
but We think it an unnecessary exac,
ton and one which reflects discredit
on the mercantile community. When
Tf &Ae railroad war be over?

Effect OF tie Assassination.

As might have been expected, the
bloody act which robbed the radical
party of one of its most influential
and powerful leaders has stirred it to
its very depths. The bloody shirt
is again daunted, and all the influences
which can be brought to bear in IN
flaming the minds of the ignorant
masses will assuredly be exercised.
This is the history, of radicalism:
however, and is in keeping with the
life aud character Of the unfortupate
man whom the hand Of the assassin
deprived of life, aud whatever Of rea-
son, of right, or Of good, which may be
offered to counteract such teachings.
only seem to add fury to the fame Of
passion: that the history of the last ten
years may repeat itself: The death of
Crews by the hand of law-could that
have been accomplished-would have
proved a relief if not blessing to
the country, for he was a bad man,
stepped in iniquities Of the worst
kind, and BY and through him much
of the past trouble was caused, but it
is to be deplored that a life even so
bad as his vas cut short by murder.
All right-thipking people regret the
deed; it was cruel aud fendish. But
that it was the act of the democratic
or conservative party of this State
should not for. moment be enter
tanned; it is altogether unreasonable.
Peace, quiet and speedy attainment
to good government are the things
desired and earnestly sought for, and
it is plain they are not to be had
through such deeds as the enc SO
lately accomplished. What the radi-
cal leaders say, though, or how much
of evil they may seek to teach, is all
as nothing 10 the great wrongs which
will be inflicted on many innocent men
in this section, and particularly Lau-
reDs, and which is even now felt in the
arrest of the Shells. How many
others ss innocent of acting the assas-
sin will be brought under the iron
heel it is Impossible to say, but We
may be assured that vast amount OF
spite will be manifested and ali the
harm possible wil be done.

Mr.. EDITOR: A meeting of special
interest has. been in progress IN the

US in these exercises. DR.. Pierce, the
Evangelist, will remain with us and

Spotted Tail states that his price
for the Black Hills is six millions Of
dollars, suit of clothes for each of
his Indians, and a guaranteed annuity
for eighty years. He pathetically says
that "when eighty years have passed
away there will be no Indians. y This
forecast of the probable existence of
the red man is interesting as coming
from the greatest of the surviving
chieitains. He sees the inevitable
melting out of his race, and he thinks
eighty years long enough to accom-
plish the determination, by means OF
Indian agents, white greed and cruelty,
disease and bad whiskey.

timonious and the tone of his conver.
satiou very pious. When the family
we're about to retire for the night, he
asked to be allowed to lead them IN
prayer. The privilege Was extended
to him, aud Mr.. Duvan and his wife

left, taking with him $500 worth of
jewelry and silverwase.

South CsEolina's Centennial.

The Palmetto Guard, Of Charleston,
have issued a stirring and patriotic
address, inviting cooperation in the
Centennial Celebration of the battle
Of Fort Moultrie, Juse %, 1776. We
copy portions of the address:
The coming anniversary Of the bat
tie of Fort Moultrie, on the 28th
June, l776, will complete century
since that day when, in the harbor Of
Charleston, battle was fought, which
the historian of the United States has
described as ''the bright morning star
and harbinger of American indepen-
dence." 1T was Gin his language)
an announcement to the other colonies
Of the existence of South Carolina as
self: directing republic message of
brotherhood and union"
Worthy of remembrance by the
people of this State as is that battle,
and urgently appealing as do the mem
bers of the Palmetto Guard to the
people of this State to uuite with
them in the celebration Of the return
of the day on which it was fought,
| they do not intend to confne that
celebration to the people Of this State
only.
To regard it only as an incident of
State history is to take away its large
proportions as an event Of national
Importance, and to do injustice to the
gallant men who, on that day, made
themselves worthy of place in the
history of the whole country, Of which
our State is part.
1t is, therefore, proposed that the
celebration on the 2Sth June, 1876,
of the battle of Fort Moultrie, on the
2Sth June, l776, shall be, as the bat
tie itself, "a message Of brotherhood
and union" To all, whether of the
North OF South, the East or West,
who cherish with feelings of pride
and satisfaction the recollection of that
and every contest which marked the
progress of the thirteen colonies to
their political independence, and the
guaranty given in their final success
for life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness,' there shall be in this
forthcoming celebration hearty and
| generous welcome. And if, as is
wished for, there shall be, after the
lapse of a century (whatever of diff
ference have existed during that time
a renewal of the spirit which ami
mated those who accomplished for US
the great results Of Che American
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1875-09-29

Re7olution-and that renewal be ex-
hibited on the spot where the men Of
our State offered themselves sacrifices
for the principles they asserted-if all
who now enjoy the blessings secured
by the men of that revolution shall
transmit to those who shall survive
and succeed them, then will time
have added increase of fame and honor
to those whose constancy and courage
checked an invasion supposed to be
Irresistible.
To all, therefore, whose sympathies
are in union with such principles as
animated the men of 1776. the Pal.
metto Guard will give hearty welcome
at their approaching celebration. And
all such will gladly unite in doing
honor to the day which in our national
calendar marks an event SO memoirs
bic in itself, and for the great result
of which it vas the harbinger.
It is we'll for us to revert to those
days; to commune in the spirit of the
people of those times to revive the
spirit with which they dared to do all
that gave liberty to the people Of
these United States.
The differences which threatened
the Union are epded-settled, we
hope, now and forever. War, We trust,
will not divide those whose welfare is TO
be iu peace with each other. The first
century of our political existence is
near its close. In the glorious femin-
iscences which ushered it in, let US
seek to bury the demon of discord ;
aud, with the opening Of another cen.
tury, let there 90 forth to every part
of these United States, from the site
of Fort Moultrie, the same message
which, on the 28th June, 1776, was
borne from its battlements to every
one Of the thirteen colonies.
