The recent sad disaster on the Wateree,
by which SO many lives were lost, and a
day full Of the promise of pleasure turn
ed into a season of sad and sorrowful
mourning, recalled to our mind the ter
rible disaster which befell joyous pic
mic party at Boykin's mill pond, in Ker-
shaw county, in 1860, by which "a per-
sons We're drowned, caused by the sink
ing ola fiat. To-day, Friday, the 9TH Of
May, is the 22d anniversary OF tie Boy
kin's mill pond calamity, and to-day one
week ago the boiler Of the steamer Mari
on exploded, in u moment-aye, in the
twinkling Of an eye-destroying many
lives, and changing the Joyous laughter
OF q merry group into the bitter wall of
mourning. Verify, we know not what
q day may bring forth. Palmetto, SOY

A COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR SENTINEL Il shall now under
take to fulfill my promise to give the
SENTINEL a netice Of my recent visit to
South Carolina. Allpraise to the power
OF steam, and the closeness of connec-
ton. Our pleasant party left Memphis
on Monday night at II O'clock, and pass
through quiet Nashville, busy Chatta-
nooga, and stirring Atlanta, we reached
the beautiful little city Greenville, en-
powered in luxuriant shade trees, and
lying almost in the shadow of the Blue
Ridge, 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
Greenville is the Athens Of Carolina
Baptists, for here is located Furman Uni
versity Patrick's Military Academy, and
q hourishing female college, institu-
tions which boast Of senators, governors,
distinguished lawyers, doctors and
preachers as their alumni. d.
A cordial welcome and princely hos
pitality were given the thousand visitors
and delegates of the convention. It was
my good fortune to be guest of Captain
Wells, one of Carolina s most prominent
lawyers, and an active deacon of the
Baptist church. 1t is refreshing for a
minister to see men prominent in worldly
affairs, consecrated to the service Of God.
For this reason the speeches Of Judge
Mason and Gov. Joseph L. Brown, were
more impressive than the burning elo-
quence of DR.. Chaplain or the Ciceronean
periods of DR., Hawthorne. a.
DR.. P II. Nell, the venerable chancel-
lor of the University OF Georgia, author
of "Mell's Parliamentary Practice" was
| chosen president of the Southern Bap-
tist convention, the largest deliberative
body in the Unied States.
The most effective speech of the ses-
sion was made by DIR. Lancing Burrows,
of Lexington, Kentucky, for two hours,
| never listened to such torrent of elo-
quence, wit and humor. He then raised
$1,000 from the congregation for the liq-
uidation ofachurch debtin New Orleans.
Sunday It was my privilege to hear
my old professor, that prince of preachers,
DR.. Stewart Robertson once said, "I know
only two ministers in America who can
preach as aCeH as Dir. Broadus-Beecher
and Palmer" sra
I have heard Spurgeon, Parker and
Beecher, but for chasteness OF expression
terseness and delicacy of thought and
depth and pathos, | have never heard
DIR. Brodus excelled.
Our party was larger on returning and
the trip was made pleasanter.
