The Celebration at N1ncty-Six.

The celebration Of the ninety-seventh an
nivcrsary of the siege Of N~inety-Six, on the
18th inst. was an occasion of rejoicing and
Qualification to the good people of Abbcvilic
and seems to have been an eminent success
The incidents Of Grecne's attack, repulsc and
retreat before the advance of Rawdon, were
narrated and commented upon in eloquent
tcrms,a and the application Of the vitaliZing
principles Of the Revolution to the present
condition of our people forcibly and appro.
printcly made.
The commclnoration Of these anniversarie:
subserve q wise and useful end. They evok
patriotic impulses, revive stirring memories
recall the severe and sore trials through
which the men OF Is passed to achieve thcil
liberties. nnd tend to remind the country o
the absollt, necessity Of vigilance in preserr
ing the fruits won by their sacrifices. AND
although the constitution adopted by them
has received many n terrible blow, and fo,
years was obscurcd by the gloom Of war ant
It's results; yet, like a beacon star, 1t IS agail
illurnininE our political sky, and these anni
versaries arc calculated TO reinspire q new
born hope Of It's ultimate .rcyivification.-

Our first night in tho Nincty-Six region
was spent in Il very old spot In reality, but
very new one to us. Our fellow wayfarcr, Mr
W. T.. Lynch. took us TO the home.Of his: un
Gle, DR.. John w. Calhoun, two miles on Thu
Cokesbury road, who lives in u high old-fush
Toned brick house In q great grove Of mag
~niflcent oaks, and who owns hundreds o
broad and fertile acres or Wilson's Creek
After tea. and after every rite of hospitality
on the part of our host, hostess, II theiI
children, VT found ourselves In the parlor
and in view Of the Morrow's celebration, tn,
conversation naturally turned upon the old
ell time of Abbeville and Of Ninety-SiX, ant
many were the interesting legends told us b!
the Doctor Of old Calhouns, II old Cunning
hams. and Connors, and Wardlaws, and o
old Cambridge times and people. In all o
which lie was ably seconded by Miss Name.
Jarvis, a maiden lady 1000 years old, who's,
knowledge of Edgeticld in its very earlics
days il something startling. The Doctor is
stern, Old school Methodist, and, being II lit
tie rickety i'll our ways and tastes, we fel
somewhat dismaycd guilty nj his outrigh
and downright views OF human life and &C
ton. But we soon found that he was nj lcas
n frequent and hearty Laughter, and upon tina
platform we met and become the best o
friends; and the stern and the rickety lay
down togetherand slept in peace. And when
ever Il man laughs often and heartily, yot
may rest assured there is a great deal of hu
man tenderness In his hcart.-Edygieid Id

sence for a moment, whilst they arc
counting the vote. Will Nice-Presidcnt
King please take the chair?
The secretary and telIers retired into a
Jury room to count the votes. during
their absence the President, resumed inc
chair, and asked if the Climb could make
progress with the election Of delegates To
the Congressional Convention. ,
Captain Rykard - Mr.. President, J
think it better to wait for the result o.
the election for delegates to the state
! Convention before going into an election
for delegates to the Congressional Con

The suggestion of the gentleman from

Chine for Which She is Suffering.

[From the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.
We give in this paper the evidence elected
In the much-talkcd-o trial Of Kate Southern.
1t differs as much as light and darkness from
the sensational accounts we have been read
Ing in certain correspondence. There Is
nothing In the scenes, the surroundings nor
The whole was q tight between two women,
while gallant Bob Southern and the rest
looked ON. They were all very, ignorant pco-
pie. Kate and her sister both conferred ON
'Sis' Cowart. There is no evidence that tho
mcn present tried to part the cembatants, nor
does there appear TO have been such II scene
rs the sentimental writer's picture of Bob
with pistol in hand forcing Hates way
through a crowd. All that was the imasina-
ton of q fancy Skrtcher. Kate Southern Is
not pretty even. She IL of medium height,
about 20 years of age, and has dark brown
hair, and the twang Of q North Georgia crack
cr. She Is very ignorant, can hardly read
and write, and Bob is worse educated than
she. Kate Is passably ood-lOoking, and
swore lies against her; that he acted in selfde,
fence; that she cannot dance, and that night
ut her fathers was the "fust time she ever
seed u reel run She is now on the pIanta-
and will be employed in the household, cook
ing and washing for the convictS who work
on the plantation. The six month "bahy' is
sick -teething-and that now requires most
of her time. She says no money has been
sent her from the North. Her health Is bad.
Her lG-ycar old sister, sentenced to two
years as accessory TO Rates crime, has been
in Col. Smiths house as II servant. She Is
handsome, and has been taught to read and
write by her kind mistress. On her fathers
farm she worked in the field and drove an
on to the plough. Her sentence has proved a
blessing.
Bob Southern is nothing but q strong, good
looking anilnal-a common, ignorant boor.
He Is now a guard to c%Onvicts on the same
plantation. The Kate killed was on
u PAL with the rest.
On reading this evidence one feels utterly
disguised with the amount of
twaddlc that has been expended on tho case.
Not q s~cintilla has been obtained to excite q
single expression of admiration. Why, the
parties surrendered themselves to get the re-
ward, and the understanding was that Rates
mother was to get $50 OF the money. Why
even n fertile fancy would extract anything
Of q from an atroeious crime we cam
not imagine.
We do not believe there isa single woman
no matter how warm and sympathetic her
heart may be, who, after reading this sworn
testimony, will sign Il petition for Kate
Southern's pardon. Governor COlquitt did
right. He weighed the evidence carefully,
and displayed both justice and humanity in
his decision. A crime las been committed, O
woman killed another in her fathers house,
after she had been received kindly by her pa
rents, and then to demand of the authorities
thai she snail go freeis prepoSterOus. II such
an act were pardoned, the doing SO would be
a mockcry Of !aw. Crime already has two
much licence because the statutes are not en-
forced. ..- !,
