Annual Report of Secretary Hunt
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-The annual report Of
the Secretary of the Navy was made public to-

be had in its behalf it must soon dwindle to in
significance. He generally endorses the re-
commentators submitted by his subordinates.
Referring to the report of the naval advisory
board he recommends the views of the major
ity of the board as entitled to the appreciation
of Congress. Secretary Hunt estimates that
$20013,716 will be needed to defray the ex-

The Drummer.

L., in the AssociOie reformed PreSJy-
tertesa, goes for der drummer" with
gloves off. While there is la ye pro-
portion of drummers who are gentle
men-in refinement, culture and good
breeding-there are certainly some
that fill the description given by L., as
every one knows who has occasion to
travel much on railroads OF to stop at
hotels. And. unfortunately for the bet
ter class of drummers, it is the rude,
selfish. loud-mouthed, brazen fellow that
is everywhere conspicuous-bound to
be seen and hcard-that gives had
reputation to the class.
Taking drummers as a whole we be-
lieve they are as good as other men;
and j. is very uncharitable to villify a
whole class because some of the num-
ber are not what they ought to be.
There have been many ministers of the
gospel detected in very vile behavior;
yet L., (who is no doubt a minister).
would feel it a great injustice should
any one judge ministers as whole by
these isolated cases.

Returned.
Hendersonville and all its attractions
Was left on Saturday last, and we are
at home again and at work; but we
cannot return 10 the hundrum of every
day life without an expression of the
great pleasure experienced during the
four weeks of our sojourn in that de-
lightful mountain retreat, our only feel
ing Of regret being that while we were
in the enjoyment of that cool. invi gor-
atipg atmosphere, you, dear reader,
were swelterlng in the heat Of this low
er region. Hendersonville is the most
healthful and charming summer retreat
in our whole country and is now filled
with guests not only from this State,
but from Georgia, Florida and other
Southern States, so much so that the
want of more ample hotel accommoda-
tion is seriously felt. The hotel keep
ers, among whom We mention our
friend Chase. do all that they can to
make their guests comfortable, but Of
ten find it difficult to find room to put
away the crowds which nightly arrive,
and yet, Notwithstanding they are al
ways full, they find some place for the
tired traveller. On the other hand it is
pleasant to say that there is no lack of
table comforts: the supply Of good
things is limitless. and not once during
our stay did we notice any falling of.
The citizens, too, very generouslythrow
wide open their doors for the reception
Of guests and spare no pains to make
their stay pleasant. We do not men
ton the crowded condition of Hender-
sonville to deter others from going
there, for room can be found fol- many
hundreds more, and we advise our
friends, if they have the time and means,
to make the trip, feeling satisfied that
they will have no cause to regret it. In
conclusion we have never in the same
space of time had more enjoyment and
good wholesome fun nor made more
friends, nor do we think that the expe-
rience would have been as varied and
entertaining at any other house than at
Cnase's, to whom we return thanks for
his efforts to make us push along and
keep moving" 60 to Hendersonville,
reader, if you want enjoyment.

Lewis W. Simkins, Esq, who went
down into the Countsville section Of
Lexington County last week, gives q
gloomy report of prospects down there.
He says that the drought is much worse
there than about Newberry; that vege-
tation has almost literally burned mp,
and that trees are dying through the
woods from the effects of the drought.
Mr.. c. c. Montgomery, who lives in
Richland County, several miles North
of Columbia, says that some farmers in
his section have abandoned large por-
tions of their crops, there being no pros
pect of making anything from them. so
completely has the drought destroyed
them.
Three large oaks in Mr.. T. NJ. Lakes
yard and good many other trees on
his place, have died from the effects of
the drought.

evening from Hendersonville. highly

trip a pleasant one, and the accommo-

very kindly opened their houses, and
all found comfortable quarters. The
party spent Friday in driving around

Pomaria Dots.

Ponaria Dots.
Crops in the near vicinity of Pomaria
have suffered terribly from the protract-
ed drought. There are acres Of corn
near here that will not make peck to
the acre. Cotton has been cut off very
considerably, but by good seasons from
now on and late Fall, it may mature;
we may get a tolerably good top"
crop. But cotton is an uncertain crop.
Our people seem troubled about the
future. Food for man and beast will
he very scarce. The ground is so dry
that peas will not come up and hence
we will miss our pea7ine hay. But the
Lord knows best and He will provide.
