Principal and his assistants have had in
which to organize and arrange the different
classes.
As the plan upon which the school is to Ee
conducted is somewhat novel-it being, so far
as we know. the only school of the kind in
the State-for the benefit of the public We
sought some information as to the leading
features of the school, which was kindly fur
nished by the Principal. ..--.-.......,,....
There are now n pupils in attendance, 30
of whom are in the academic department.
Three of the pupils do not live in the school
district, and consequently pay the Principal
for their tuition. All white children, male
and female, between the ages sof 64aud 16
years, living within the corporate limits of
Yorkville, are entitled to the benefits of the
school, without the payment of any fees for
entrance or tuition. In the free school de-
partment all branches are taught Except mu-
sic and other ornamental branches necessary
to thorough preparation for college. The
school, under the present management, will
continue for two sessions of Eve months each,
under the control and supervision of the dis
trict school trustees-Messrs. James Mason,
C. E. Spencer and Frank Happerfeld. ,' -
Such is an outline, in brief, Of the features
Of the school, which we have every reason
for believing will prove decided success.
Mr.. Jones is now assisted by Mrs. Clara Oar:
gan Mclean and Miss Fannie Miller, and
says be will increase the number Of teachers
as the demands Of the school may require.
The musical department, which, Of course, is
extra. is in charge Of Miss Sue F. Lowry, who
is teacher of rare accomplishments, and has
heretofore given entire satisfaction to her
patrons. Hi o.. us.4 a-aa II 90 1s5,u
While the institution has all the features Of
free public school, to the benefits Of which
all the white children within the prescribed
ages, living in the corporate limits Of the
town are entitled, it is but proper to add that
none others are prescribed from attendance.
Pupils from adjoining school, districts-+-as
we'll as boarders from distancs-will be re-
ceived in the school by paying regular rates
for tuition, which will be furnished by the
Principal on application.

Cedar Springs, near spartanburg. They are
taught in the musical department by Prof.
North, of Charleston, himself totally blind,
and their performances on various instru-

"A duel, with fatal results, was fonght be-
tween two South Carolinians, near Savannah,
Georgia, on the 18th instant. The combat
ants were Robert Fshburne and Walter S.
Harley, both lawyers of Walterboro, and
brothers-in-law. The hostile meeting origin
ated from dispute concerning the municip'
al election held at Walterboro on the 9TH
instant, Harley having espoused the cause
which Fishburne pposed-though politically
both were Democrats. Harley was shot in
the abdomen at the first fire and will die.
Fishburne was unhurt and is reported to
have fled.

States He has also directed the Sheriff of
the county in which the disorders occurred,
to assist the officials of the N ,tional Govern

the Governor of South Carolina is very sig

is sincere in. his professions of loyalty to the
Government of the United States.

Patterson's Condition. Will He Resign2
Some persons are so uncharitable as
to charge that Patterson has been feigning
sickness during the recess of Congress-, and
that his shammiug in this respect is only an
other illustration of"possum up gum tree. u
AS to the truth of this mild insinuation, Of
course we cannot speak; but certain it is
that there has been much ludicrous uneasi
ness among Republicans on the point of his
threatened resignation and the fear that he
would be succeeded by Democrat. In
regard to the current report of his intended
resignation, Patterson replied, the other day,
to a question by a correspondent:
II shall not resign under any consideration
If am to be sick should be fool to resign,
because I can lie here and draw my Sl3 a
