What SniNes Saw.

Ihave not been out much lately by
reason of indisposition, but from my
broad and spacious :pizarro', where L
sit in the haze of the setting sun, see
somewhat of things going on. I saw
a poor seedy chap few afternoons
ago, zig-zag with uncertain step by
a bar-room, his blood-shot eyes looked
in at the door as he passed by. What
he saw weakened him, it was too much,
his legs tottered, and he leaned against
the wall. Hc tried to straighten but
his spinal column would not let him.
He inserted his right hand in his right
breeches pocket, and felt around in all
it's corners for a dime that existed only
in his Imagination. Then the left hand
was thrust into the other pocket, and
and both hands worked and fumbled
around after the dime that wasn't
there. Poor fellow, it was hard to
realize the fact. Slowly he withdrew
his hands and closely examined his
clenched fingers in hope that the cover
ed coin lay between one or other
of them. But it want there. He
He ardent1y desired a dime, and his
appetite craved a drink. Again and
again did he make dive, with u per-
severance worthy of better cause,
but with no better success. At last
the shades of night hid the sight from
view. Poor fellow, how I pitied him,
and how 1 longed to rush out and help
HMM his search for that dime. He
had finally to pass.

education. Woman, ne thought, should
be taught in the school to do every
thing that she is called upon to do IN
the domestic relations: the mechanics
bench should be in the school and the
boy taught trade. In the moral ana
physical phazes of education the free
school system was deficient.
The distinguished Secretary OF State.
Col. Lipscomb, followed Col. Aiken
and was like him opposed to the free
school system-indeed he was opposed
to any governmental education. The
ante bellum system that produced such
men ays'your own Calhoun and Nc
Dutfie'' was good enough for him. He
closed his speech with an earnest ap-
peal to the whites to educate their
children at their own expense; in the
yrisc:e school, they would receive bet
ter training morally, mentally and
phS sically. ,..
TIE State Senator from Edgetield,
Col. C;,llison. closed the argument. He
made a strong appea! for the free
school system. Unit! a better scheme
could b., ,iey::rea he was in for giving
ilcaity support to that system. His
remarks on education generally were
especially eloquent. We do not like to
appear invidicus, but must say that we
heard it whispered that Edgefield, as
usual. carried off the palm. An excel
lent dinner closed the performance.
We appreciate your remarks last
week on the death OF our eStimable

they should all take an actire part in
advancing the cause of education. AS
to our present free school system, he
was aware of the many objections rails
ed against it, and in some particulars
it might be benefcially amended, but
upon the whole it was in his opinion
the most effectual and economical
mode of giving general diffusion of
knowledge-the only security for a
well regulated society. He urged the
people to uphold the system and let it
confer its blessings on white and black.
Congressman Aiken next spoke and
differed in toto from Col. Coward on
the free school system. He thought
the system not suited to so sparsely
a settled county as ours. He urged
