Sercllnde.

Gov. Hagoed was serenaded at
Greenville on Wednesday night, by q
colored brass band, at the Exchange
Hotel. The News says:
The Governor spoke briefly, com
plimenting the band on their music,
and thanking them for it. He said
that he had just seen the mother of
the leader OF the band who called on
Mrs. Hagood, whom she had knewn
from child, and had listened to their
exchange of remins ,ences Of former
days, and to the maternal pride with
which their leaders mother had
spoken Of her sons musical talent.
They lived, he said, in an exception
ally favored section of the State,
where they had the finest lands, en-
terprising people, and that Alad6in's $
lamp, fine water power. The Pied
mont section seemed destined to n
splendid career of prosperity that
nothing conld check. In all Of this
the harmony that had existed and
still exists was an important factor.
The races could and should work to-
gethcr in common cause, to put
South Carolina on 4 platform of
truth, and justice to all men. Ap-
plause. }"

A Thanksgiving Day?

The proposition to have n day of
thanksgiving for the dcliverance Of
| the President from dcath, emanating
from the Office OF the Governor Of
Ohio, has been favorably received by
most Of the governors Of other States
and by the secular papers. The
Governor Of Texas has raised n dis
; scnting roice-and a very manly sen
siblc voice it is, III our Judgment,
though he has been sufficiently de-
nonnced for it by ungodly editors.
We take it, that Gov. Roberts is a
Christian man. His view is simply
this: that in our country, where
church and State are totally separate,
no state officer has the right to make
any sort OF proclamation calling for
religious services. Ec rejoices aud
thanks God in common with all the
people for the spared life OF the Prcsi-.
den, but declines to issue q procla-
nation on the subject We think he
is right.
We have mover had any liking for
national or State thanksgiving days
or fast days. We seem always to
hear, through high sounding words
of the proclamations and all the for
malitics Of the occasion, the voice tli-
vine stcrnly demanding "who hath
required this ut your hands?' a
call to worship the spirit God, the
Cod OF infinite holiness, issuing as it
commonly does from irrcligious men,
sometimes from intdcls and blasphe-
mcrs, never has in it anything Of
sacrcdncss Or power for us. More
over, the very idea Of national SER
vice, whether OF Thanksgiving or fast
ing, savors Of a dispcnsation that
passed away when the Messiah came
None can worship God now except
as individuals. Many may worship
at the same time and in the same
place, but still rs individuals will
He regard them. a national service,
i'll which all the people, converted
and unconverted, godly and wicked,
are summoned to give thanks to the
glorious God or to humble them
selves in fasting and prayer before
Him, is in our view solemn mock
cry.-Bapfist COURIER

Happy unions arc always v0lun-
tary, not only at the beginning, but
rs long Us life lasts. Love cannot
be made free ly Il change Of statutes.
1t cannot be found or lost under any
circumstances. Ii the state should
listen to the petitions OF those who
ask that srN relation be exempt from
control, the experience Of q quarter Of
II century would convince the world
that the old, long tried monogamic
solution OF the sex question is the
wise one. There are evident reasons
why such Il result would como. III
all the past emotional experience Of
the race, it has been found imposs-
lble to create an intense idcalization
OF more than one subject ut one time !;
and it has bccn found, too, that when
such an idcalization has been tested
by knowledge and time, it does not
diminish, but decpens; and that the
effect f.his long continued idcaliza-
tion is to create the best condition Of
development, both for those who
exercise it, and for those toward
whom it is directed. Now, if the best
conditions Of happiness are once Sc
cured they should be maintained. 1t
is not possible to bring ont all the
results ofthis mutual sex idcaliza-
tion in any short period of associa,
ton. The fact that the association
is Il permanent one gives it earnest
ness and dignity. 1t would not be
possible to extract from half dozen
associations, extending over a period
oftwcnty five years, the same amount
OF fine character development as
would come from one fortunate usso-
citation lasting for the same time.
When we are once sure OF the wis
dom, integrity and affection Of some
friend through long experience, We
spend no more brain activity in
learning his pcculiaritics Of cllarac-
ter and IN adapting ourselves to them.
The association Of man and wife is
rather moral and atfcctional than in
tcllcctual. 1t is rest, certainty,
4 point of departure for other activi-
ties. Once settled and safely settled,
we waste no power in readjussing the
relations, but take tue fruit as it rip
ems, without the need Of uprooting
the old and planting new trees.

Dear Capitolian-This place is the
centre and headquarters of the oil
trade Of this country. When petrole-
UNI was first discovered hereabouts
in the year 1859, there were very few
of the then scattered settlers, who had
much faith in the future Importance
OF coal oil. However, when the news
flashed cityward-to Philadelphia and
New York then second California
gold fever stampede was Immediately
inaugurated, and for months the roads
leading into northwestern Pennsyl-
vania were one mass, almost of wealth
seeking wayfarers.
Cities rushed up in u night; where
once was a desert waste, was soon
transformed into q scene of busting,
human activity. OIL was high and
scarce, and the man with free flow

THE PRESIDENT.

The latest news of Mr.. Garfield are
to the effect that his chances of recov-
cry are improving with each succeed
ing day. This intelligence will cause
genuine pleasure everywhere. Indeed
the dastardly and wanton assault
made upon his life, has excited the
warmest sympathy of the people to-
ward the President, who has shown a
fortitude truly admirable in so try
ing an ordeal. All political animosi-
ties have been stilled in the face of
this murderous attack upon the fairly
elected Chief representative of the
American people, whose life it is
hoped will be preserved by the Wise
Ruler of the Universe.

R0SEDALE, La, June ~, 1851
DEAR CAPIToLIAN-It has been
over three months-it seems as many
years-since the cars have ceased to
run, and we have been denied the
pleasure of visiting your beautiful
Highland City. Can you not imag-
inc then how welcome you have been
to us in the interval but it has not
been without its good effects, for we
have been forced to travel on our
E'first- class steamers that ply be-
tween here and Plaquemine and have
had foretaste of what the bad must
expect in the next world, and are
therefore trying to be better people.
We have never appreciated Mr.. Mon
tan's noble efforts to keep us alive
and in communication with the world
until now, his railroad has sometimes
been called rotten but | should like
to dub it the "old reliable,' Talk
about your Texas Pacific, wait until
you see it, they try to encourage us
by mentioning the short distance
from this place to Plaquemine, but |
remember of Mcclellan Il think it
was, on being told of the short dis
lance to Richmond, his answer was
yes it is short but there is a Stone
wall to batter down, two immense
Hills to climb and oh! such Long
street to travel.
Just how hot it is you all know
only too well, and cannot say that
I'm surprised at Mr.. Larguier's Their
mometet becoming demoralized and
bewildered.
There has been the usual discussion
and futter about the seashore and
watering places generally, and it has
ended as usual by everybody staying
at home, but give me home every
time in summer, where you can do as
you please, and dress as you please,
for it is too hot to think of the pro-
prieties.
The fish bite splendidly now but
we miss Mr.. Montan's annual excur-
sion picnic, and the consequence is
it is fearfully dull and the only relief
is occasionally a bit of gossip or scan
dial about your neighbors which is
enjoyed to the fullest, secretly, of
course.
Oh | came near forgetting to men
ton the inevitable crop, and that
would never do. Some few of the ia
vored ones have had rain, but as a
general thing the crops are very much
in need Of it. After all the talk about
the stubble it is ''panning OUT very
well, The cotton is not as advanced
as usual at this season.
You can'timagine how independent
we have become of fashions. dictates
and the world generally, since our Sc
clusion. Would you believe it
haven't even a "Poke," and yet am
well and thriving.
Well, | will not take up any more
Of your valuable space and time, but
hope to visit your city soon in proprio
perSonae. ARoC.
