THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.

Some anxiety as to the Presidents condition
was felt on Saturday, when at 1.30 P. NJ, it
was announced that his symptoms we're less
favorable, he having also had chill on that
morning, and his pulse increased to 125, his
temperature being 104. The discharge from
his wound had also checked, and there was
apprehension of an abscess forming without
outlets. Later the physicians stated that this
febrile rise was due to local and temporary
causes, rather than to any generally unfavora
BILE change in the Presidents condition.
Symptoms of granulation were noticed along
the track of the ball, and it was thought pos
sible that this healing process going on at
some point comparatively near to the external
surface of the body, had damned up quan,
tity of pus in the deeper part of the wound,
and that the chill and increased fever were to
be thus accounted for. The discharge, though
healthy in its character, was unusually scan.
ty, which indicated that its flow had been in
some way impeded or interrupted. The chill,
which commenced about 8 o'clock and lasted
till 8, was quite severe. The explanation
given by the physicians of the unfavorable
symptoms above reported, is briefly as fol-
lows:
Some time during Friday night, or early
Saturday morning, the wound, which had been
for several days discharging freely, became
obstructed at or near the inner end of the
drainage tube, while the process of suppura.
ton in the deeper parts of the wound contin.
ued. A partial or complete pus cavity was
thus formed and the discharge from the mouth
of the wound nearly ceased. The natural re-
suit of this state of things was chill followed
by higher fever, til > patients pulse rising to
g maximum of about 130 and his tempera-
ture to 104. AS rigor, followed by increas.
ing fever, is symptom of the py@ma of the
formation of an abscess and other unfavora-
BILE complications, it caused at first good
deal of anxiety. Careful examination, how
ever, of the pus discharged by the wound,
showed that its character was perfectly nor
NAL and healthy, and so far as appeared from
the patients general condition, all indications
of pyamia were absent. These facts relieved
at once the fear of blood poisoning. Exter-
nal examinations were then made of the
abdominal and hepatic regions, with the view
of ascertaining whether there we're any signs
of an abscess at the supposed location of the
bullet. No unusual tenderness was found in
that part Of the body, or any other. From
these facts, taken in connection with the scanty

LETTER FROM BLACKS STATION.

BLACKS STATION, July 22.-The recent
showers in this section have improved the cot
ton crop and ateplanted corn, though the
ground has not yet been thoroughly wet.
The sickness in this locality continues.
This community at present is an afflicted one.
Every household has its sufferers. Dysentery
prevailed in this section to the same extent
in the years 1843 and lS45. Drs. Black
and Anderson, though overworked, respond
promptly to every demand made upon them,
which may be said to their credit The lat
ter, who was stricken down with the prevail
ing disease, and confined to his room several
days, is out again. The epidemic prevails in
its worst form within radius of few miles
of this place. The physicians report it stub.
born and unyielding to treatment.
Our town, like other new towns, needs sys-
tematic and rigid sanitary regulation, to en-
sure healthfulness. The cleaning up of prem.
ises where stock.pens and other places Of filth
may be, should be looked after very closely, or
we may expect sickness and great deal of it.
Robert A. Blanton, proprietor of the Air
Line Hotel at this place, died Of dysentery
last Thursday He was gallant soldier in
the late war-a member of the Fifteenth N.
G. Regiment, of which State he was native.
He was participant in several hard fought
battles in Virginia, and received severe wounds
in his right hand and left leg, the wound in
his leg giving him pain through life. He
was member of the Baptist church at this
place, and deacon in the church. At our
last town election he was elected one of the
wardens of the town. EGO.

left hand, the muzzle resting against the
palm, near the ball of the thumb, while he
raises the hammer with his right hand. Then,
if he is little careless, the hammer slips, the
cartridge is exploded, and the hard wad makes
an ugly wound in the palm of his left hand.
This wound is Jagged and irregular, causing
serious injury to the nerves and blood vessels
concentrating there, and lockjaw is the result
Some physicians also suspect that poisonous
property in the powder incites the deadly
complaint, and one thinks there is an cpl.
demic condition in the atmosphere tending to
induce lockjaw.

A FINE ADDRESS.

A FINE ADDhESS.
The address delivered before the Reidville
Female College, at the last commencement
exercises of that institution, by w. B. Wilson,
Esq, of Yorkville, is spoken of as an able
effort by all who had the pleasure Of hearing
it, We are pleased to learn that the address
will be issued soon in pamphlet form, at the
solicitation of the trustees of the College, A
writer in the Greenville Enterprise and Noun.
taineer, who heard the address, speaks of it
as follows: ..
"Hon. w. B. Wilson, of Yorkville, the or.
ator Of the occasion, was introduced to the
audience. His eloquence electrified his hear
ers at the beginning, and kept their undivi-
ded attention throughout his address, which
was on The Past and Future of South Carroll
ma 1t was chaste, learned and appropriate.
I will attempt no anal ysis of this mastery pro-
duction. since, as l have heard, it will be
published soon in pamphlet form. I wish
that every citizen of the State could read it."
Speaking of the same address, writer in
the Southern Presbyterian says:
"The speech of the Hon. W. B. Wilson, on
the past and future of South Carolina, was an
able, chaste, timely and elegant address, de.
livered in deliberate and impressive manner,
and was listened to with marked attention
and interest As this address will be pub
lished soon by the board of trustees, I will
not attempt anything like an analysis. Mr..
Wilson is graduate of the old South Caro-
lima College, in its palmiest days, under the
presidency of the Hon. VIM. G. Preston, and
is among one of the first lawyers in the State !;
South Carolina gentleman of the type which
existed before the war; and who, but for his
great modesty, would before this time, have
filled high positions in the State"
