Jackson's wound was "neither severe
or DANCE rous." 1t confined him to his
room for several weeks, and it healed
falsely. Twenty years after it broke out
afresh, and troubled him for the remain
der of his life. The pulmonary affection
which finally carried him to his grave is
attributed to that wound.
jackson neveisexhibited the slightest
compunction for the part he took in this
bloody affair. He very rarely alluded to
it, but when he did it was always with
perfect complacency. 1t is told of him
that a gentleman was once examining his
duelling pistols. Taking up one of them
the general quietly remarked "That is
the pistol with which 1 killed Mr.. Dick
inson."

ToWNvILLE.

Townville merchants are beginning to
look up, as once in while now they get a
glimpse at greenbacis dollar.....Mr. La
fayette Farmer, formerly of Greenville, has
located in this place, where he is engaged in
the mercantile business. He occupies the
new store-room on Main street.....Corn
crops in this section, with an increased acre
age, are certainly much better than usual {;
while cotton, though somewhat injured by
the drought, is thought to be fair average.
1.-THE schools of this township have been
steadily on the wane since the suspension
of the free term, until recently, when it
appears that, with single exception, they
have prematurely dried up......The indica-
tions portending bad weather increased un.
til last Wednesday, the 10th inst, when it
eliminated in the equinoctial gale. The
rain fell almost incessantly for forty. eight
hours, while steady easterly wind, blow
ing cold and wintry-like, reminded us that
over-coats must, ere long, supply the place
OF linen busters, and that the season Of
straw hats was bout SPENT. .Townville is
wanting high school. Efforts are now be-
ing made to secure the services of Mr. Da-
vid P. Werner as teacher for the coming
year......The work on the Townville (Pres-
byterian) Church is progressing finely, and,
ere long, it will be complete, new, and ele-
CANT house of worship, which will not only
add to the appearance of the town, but will
reflect greatly upon the moral energy and
christian perseverance of the denomination
in this community. 1.-THE Baptist brethren
of this place have also, within the shortest
time imaginable perfected measures by
which to commence the building of new
house. Already the DID, dilapidated build
ing in which the Rev. ]. K. Mendenhall but
few days ago labored so zealously, and
discoursed so eloquently, has been ruthless
ly torn from it's foundations, and upon the
same site a new church is now in process of
erection.. The repairs on the free bridge
across Seneca at Earle's, with the exception
of boiling, are completed. The contractor
is only waiting the arrival of the bolts,
when, in few days, the work will be en-
tirely finished. Competent judges pro-
nounce this work safe and substantial job,
which, it is hoped, will preclude the liabili
ty of incurring any more useless expendi-
ture of the peoples money here for at least
some time to come..... The recent revivals of
religion in this vicinity have wrought
wonderful effect upon the minds of our
people, and, it is hoped, made lasting i'm
preston upon the moral status of this COM
munity. 1.-THE colored people of this. vi
cinity have also had series Of enthusiastic
meetings, extending through period of
several weeks past. Much interest has been
manifested in their meetings, and if prompt
ed by the right spirit, they will doubtless
result in much good. G. N. G. B.

H0NEA PATH.

The protracted meeting closed on Monday
night last. Twenty-Five members were
added to the NJ. E. Church. Besides these
quite number will be added to the men,
bership of other churches. During the con-
tinuance of thes meeting-eighteen days
a very deep religious feeling was manifest,
and though the congregations were at all
times large, good order prevailed through
out. Rev. w. H. Strickland is assisting
Rev. R. W. Burts in protracted meeting
at Broadmouth Church. h.....Mr. NJ. Nicely is
making some repairs to the water station.
Now, if the company will give US a new
depot to match other improvements going
on, everybody will be glad......Capt. S. M.
Tribble was stricken with paralysis at Mt.
Bethel Church on Friday last. Though
reported dangerously i'll, we hope he may
soon recover" The Singing Convention at
Mt. Bethel, we learn, was largely attended.

EXCURSION TO CHARLESTON.

Arrangements have been made by the
railroad authorities for the sale of excursion
tickets from all points in the upper portion
of the State to Charleston and return at e1-
ceedingly low rates. The sale of these
tickets will begin at the several depots on
Monday next, the first of October, and con-
tinue until Saturday following, the sixth
day of the month. Persons availing them
selves of these tickets will have to start be-
tween Monday, the 1st, and Saturday, the
9Th, of October. The tickets will be good
to return at any time within ten days from
the day they are sold, and parties holding
them will be allowed to stop over in Colum-
bia, either going or returning, but not at
intermediate points. The price of tickets to
Charleston and return will be as follows for
this section: Points above Anderson and
Williamson, $3.50, and points from Ander-
son and Williamson to Chappell's Depot,
S.. These are very low rates of passage,
indeed, and do not amount to as much as
half the regular fare in one direction. The
excursion is also very considerably arranged
to occupy six days instead of one, thereby
preventing the jam which is incident to all
ordinary excursions. This will afford our
citizens favorable opportunity for visiting
our "City by the Sea-" and will no doubt
be embraced by large numbers of them.

We embrace this opportunity to furnish
your readers with such news as we can
gather relating to our village......In the first
place, we have new council, of which Mr..
s. D. Deal, the proprietor of the hotel, is
Intendant. Under their direction and SUI
pervision the streets-or rather roads-have
been we'll worked, so far as we have seen.
The plan pursued here is to work the road
alone, and leave the sidewalks to be kept
in order by private residents along the
same.....T The bar-rooms have been closed,
and peace and order prevail throughout the
community :. Mr.. R. V. Acker has opened
store on the western side of the creek, and
is engaged in the mercantile business. We
hope he will meet with success...".Capt.
Ford, of Marion, has located in our village,
and engaged in the mercantile business.
He comes highly recommended, and has
been for several year. the chief clerk in
large mercantile establishment in Marion.
He is high-toned gentleman, and an &C
tive, intelligent and courteous merchant,
who understands his business thoroughly.
The other merchants are renovating their
stocks of goods, and are endeavoring to
make their price list please even the most
captious.....The Female College is in a
fourishing condition......The Male Acade-
my has thirty-one pupils in actual attend
ance........ Yesterday Bishop Wightman
preached the eleven o'clock sermon in the
Methodist Church. He selected as his text,
LIST Thess., 5th, 1Sth-"In everything give
thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you" He maintained
that the will of God is based upon rectitude,
wisdom and goodness. He affirmed tn at it
is the will of God concerning US that we
should pray without ceasing, give thanks in
everything, and rejoice for evermore. He
made nice distinction between joy and
happiness-the former depending upon our
character and the latter upon our condition.
In his peroration he made beautiful and
touching appeal to the youth of the congre-
CATION to obey the words of the text. His
sermon was distinguished alike for depth of
thought and beauty of figure. 1t evinced
the scholar and the divine and was deliv-
cred in an eloquent and impressive manner.
His venerable appearance constituted much
to the effect of the effort.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The Civil Court will terminate this week.
The cases have so far been unimportant, e1-
cept the drainage case, in which the County
Commissioners are sheing certain persons
under the Drainage Act for assessments.
This case is now on trial, and has been
argued by Messrs. w. D. Evins and Jas. l..
Orr for the defendants, and Col. ]. N.
Brown for the plaintiffs. 1t is not known
what the verdict will be. Judge Northrop
has made an excellent impression at this
place. He has been assiduous and prompt
in the discharge of his duties, and at the
same time courteous and obliging. He is
much liked.
The counsel for Orr Latimer, convicted of
burglary, have appealed.
The Judge sentenced Ransom Blackman,
convicted of assault and battery, to two
months imprisonment or twenty-five dol
lars fine and the costs of the case. He paid
the fine.
Robert Crow was found not guilty Of as
sault and battery. -
The Strickland burglary trial occupied
two days, and elected the deepest interest
on the part of the entire community. 1t
was very ably argued by Messrs. J. E.
Breazeale, B. F. Whitner and Gen. s. Nc
Gowan for the defense, and by Solicitor
Cothran for the State. Judge Northrop de-
lived a fair and impartial charge, after which
the jury retired, and remained out for
about. four hours. They found VIM. B.
Strickland guilty of grand larceny. and
Benjamin and Abner Strickland not guilty.
The defendants counsel moved in arrest of
Judgment in the case of VIM. B. Strickland,
and being overruled, appealed.
