SINGING ScHooL.-Prof. W. H.
Evans, for some years past Musical Di-
rector of the Columbia Choral Union,
is now in Camden, and has quite a
large class that he IS teaching in vocal
music. His method for training the
voice is somewhat new, and those who
are capable Of judging, say that it is
the easiest and most perfect Of any
they have yet aeen; and we are satisfied
that any one who enters his class will
never regret it. The first lesson will
be given at the Baptist Church this
evening. The public are invited to at
tend at the first lesson only. The Pro-
fessor hardly needs any introduction to
our people, as he is personally acqualut'
ed with many of them, and the first
class references he brings from Colum-
bia, Newbcrry, Anderson and other
towns iu this State, where he has been
teaching. are sufficient recommendations
His terms are, {for session of sixteen
lessons,) for gentlemen, $500; for Ia
dies, $500

The War on AfghaniStan.

In the House of Lords Oh the 9th
inst, Lord Crapbronk, secretary oil
State for India. on moving resolution
that expenses of the Afghan war may
be betrayed from the revenues of India
said that it was estimated that the In
dian surplus was s2,236,OOO. There
would be a substantial surplus af'
ter paying the war expenses, which
were estimated at less than Gl ,250. .000
for the present financial year. Lord
Cranbro * declared the government
asaun ell full responsibility for Lord
Lytton. There was not room for both
England and Russia in Afghanistan
The Ameer's letter was no answer to
England's ultimatum, but mere eva
sion. England must be paramount in
Afghanistan, which must be friendly
ianitor to the doors of Ind1a,: or Eng
land must hold the key herself.
Viscount Halifax moved the amend
ment censuring the government.
II
Lord Lawrence, formerly Governor
gederal of India, deprecated pushing
forward the frontier under any circum'
stances He thought that the wal
should be concluded speedily. Nothing
should be exacted from the Afghans
and they should have aid against foreigt
invasion. IF England did not pay al
the costs of the war there would be 10
diguation and despair in India.
Lord Derby said that the govern
ment in only summouiug Parliament
after war was declared placed the coun'
try, which profsssed to BE- adfg"vcrned
in peculiar position. He was of fopin
ion that there had never been any clear
wish to avoid the war, and that the wa
was not nnconnected with projects fo
The recti6cation of the frontier.
Lord .Carnarvon declared the wal
irroconciliable with any idea of justice
and that the policy in furtherance o
Which it had been undertaken Was dan
cerous and delusive.

near there and asked if any Of th'

The answer was, that they had pur
chased some the day before from onf

obtained from Trial Justice Russell, and
they proce eded to bis house where they
found a portion of the beef. They ar
rested Jimmy (colored), and he ac'
knowledged the whole thing. He sold
the beef to the turpentine hands for slo

to Camden with him to put him in
Jail, he made dash for his liberty, and.
though they fired at him, he succeeded

HAYES and the South.

A Washington letter ssys: Very
few Southern members of Congress
have 80 far called at the White House
To such as have made their appearance
there the President has intimated that
he entertains The most kindly feeling
for the South, and has lively interest
in its prosperity. He considers that
the language which be used in his mes
sage. as applied to Southern politics,
was very mild under all the circum-
stances, and that he was only fulfilling
his constitutional duty in calling the
attention of Congress to what ne can
only look upon as violations of the Con-
stitution and the laws. He says that
he could not be expected to remain si-
lent when in his belief the laws which
he was sworn to execute have been dis
regarded. He says. as he has several
times before remarked, he does not im-
pute anv want of good faith to either
Governor Nichols or Governor Hamp
ton. Some of the Southern members
have intimatnd to the President that 1t
would he proper for him to furnish a
detailed statement of the information
on which he bases his views, and the
probability is that resolution will be
introduced into one or both houses ask
ing him to do So 1t is believed to be
absolutely true, as has several tunes
been stated, that the only basis for the
charges against the States of Lnulsrna
and South Carolina rests upon the un'
supported declarations of men who have
long since forfeited all claims to respect
upon anonymous letters and upon the
manufactured dispatches which have
been sent from this point by partisan
correspondence

TRIP TO LANcAsTER.-Wo had the

ance went-deserve the palm for being
the most hospitable and kind towards
strangers of any place we have visited in

pleased to meet Mr.. D. J. Carter, the
editor and proprietor of the Ledger,
whose jovial couuteuance at once shows
YOU what a whole-souled man you are
with. We also met Messrs. G. 7. Con-
nors and Ira D. Jones, rising young
lawyers of the town, and Mr.. James M.
Riddle, proprietor of Riddles hotel, an
old acquaintance of ours; and one who'
when the way.worn traveller sees his
CHEEKY face, feels assured that there is
rest and comfort for the weary while
under the care of such man. If any ot
our townsmrn ever visit Lancaster
Riddles hotel is the place for them tc
stop at.
On the way we noticed many fields
sown in small grain, and oat planting
still going on.
At nearly every gin house we passed
we saw number of cotton bales pileo
up, the owuers waiting for rise in the
market before they will sell. We only
saw one field where they had not tln
ished picking the cotton.

For SpoRTsMEN.-We publish to-
day a notice from Capt. Jno. Burdell
warning all parties from trespasslng
upon bis land. Capt. Burdell has suf-
fered great deal from such conduct
and he has determined, like the old
man who bagged the boy in the apple
tree to come dowE. and he wouldn't
come. no longer to throw tussoeks at
him, but to apply the stones The
Capt. will do it, and he is right. We
applaud him for 1t. His land is his
own and no man has a right to violate
his wishes or authority in regard to the
same.
1t is matter Of regret that In ou'
county the game law, the fishing law
and all others of like nature are no
more rigid!y enforced. A long viola
lation of these laws has almost made 1t
like habit, second nature. and men dis
re. ard them with as much impunitl
as if no such thing stood upon ou
Statutes. An example will be wort'
more than warning. Go ahead, Cap
tain.
