In LAurens, Rock Hill, Bolton and several
other towns in the State where town elections
have been recently held, the "dry ticket" has
won the day. At Laurens c. II. the majority
for the "dry'' ticket was 60 out of total vote
Of 164. The better class of the colored voters
ofthe town, voted to put down whiskey sci.
ling, and deserves great credit for 80 doing.
The order loving portion of ~the town were so
elated at their victory that they rang all the
church bells, fired off "anvil caunons," and
burnt many fire crackers. AT Chester G. II
and one or two other places the "wet" ticket
prevailed.

An Event in Rsver Navigation.

On tho 10th instant, Q new steam boat, tho
W. 7. Wheless, arrived at Augusta, Ca, on
her first trip from Savannah. The steamer
was bailt at Philadelphia, Pa, especially for
business between Savannah and Augusta
She is 16S feet long, 20 feet beam and
4S feet over ALL She has three steel boilers
AZ inches by % feet, draws only % inches
water and can mako IL miles an hour
against the current and II miles going down
stream.
The appointments Of the steamer are first
class in every particular. She has elabor>
ately furnished parlors, lighted by elegant
oh andaliers, and first class state rooms and
accommoda tions for 80 first class and "a
second class passengers. Her cago capacity
is l, 200 bales Of cotton. On her FIRST trip to
Augusta she carried S-25 cabin and number
OF second class passen gers and considera-
BILE cargo for Aug usta and points on the
river between Augu to and Savannah. Speak,
ing Of the steamer, the Augusta Chronicle and
ComstttuttonaliSt says: "No such steamer was
| ever seen on this part Of the Savannah river
before, and she is manifestly destined to re~
volutionize the river trade, and be the pre-
cursor of a line Of similar boats, which will
ply between this city and Savan nah 1t only
remains for the United States. Government to
properly improve the river, to enormously
increase this trade and do much to add to the
prosperity of the entire section of country
| contiguous to the river
This is entirely a Georgia enterprise, but the
| section Of South Carolina contiguous to the
river will be equally benefited by it with
| their neighbors across the river, and we trust
that our onators and Representatives in
Congress in connection with those from
Georgia will exert themselves to have an ap
propriat tion made. to improve and make navi>
gable the river from Augusta up as far as it is
possible to do so, which would probably be
to where the Air Line Railroad crosses the
TUgaloo river. The section of South Carroll
ne along the Savannah, and ita tributaries
| from where the Air Line Railroad crosses the
| river to Augusta is very much in need Of facili-
ties for transportation. 1t is probably one of
the richest end most productive sections of the
two States and, with steamers plying the
river, would soon flourish like the green bay
tree. We hope the Senators and Represen-
| to ives from the two States will give this im-
| portant subject their attention. It would be
of incalculable benefit to the people of both
States, and furnish to their constituents evi.
| dence of their practical craftsmanship.

killed his wife. The negro fired three times
more at Damn, one of the balls striking him
in the shoulder, inhicting flesh wound.
Haokett escaped into Augusta, but party
pursued and if he is caught Judge Lynch will
doubtless have case.

BY reason of the change made in the law as
to liens a. the last session Of the Legislature,
says The Columbia Register, it is now necessary
that each lien should contain the name Of the
plantation or place where the lienor resides
If this rule is not observed the liens will nor
be received for record. Parties interested
would do well 10 make note of this and thus
save themselves perhaps useless ride TO the
Court House. ..
