A Star Router Owns Up.
Your nephew,
T. MORE, Jr.

In the Star Route trial on Thursday
the monotomy Of the testimony in repe.
tition of that given on the frat trial was
enliyened somewhat. Reidell arose and
in clear voice said:
IF the Court pleases, l desire to make
q statement in my own behalf"
Profound silence prevailed and for q
moment the Court looked surprised, but
counsel for the defence seemed to be
prepared for the blow about to follow.
The Court finally said, "You can make
it." Reidell then proceeded to read rap.
idly the following statement:
After mature reflection and full con.
sideration of the whole subject, have
determined to abandon any further
defence in this case and put myself at
the mercy Of the Court and government,
and if desired to do 90 by the
counsel for tho government, to
testify to all my knowledge Of any
facts with reference to any Of the defen.
dants either for or against them, myself
included; therefore, I now in person,
ask leave to withdraw my plea of not
guilty heretofore interposed and enter
my plea of guilty, and In go doing put
myself on the mercy of the Court"
"Well, on my part, there is no objec.
tion," said Ingersoll, abruptly. "This is
unexpected"
The Court-"The defendant who has
just spoken desires to withdraw his plea
of not guilty and enter ono of guilty.
The clerk will make the entry"

Mr.. BREcHER DENouNcEp.-At In.
dianapolis, Ind, Sunday last, the Rev.
Arthur Pieraon, pastor OF the Second
Presbyterian Church, of which church
Rev. Henry Ward Reecher was the pas.
tor many years ago, created something
of sensation by referring to q recent
lecture of Beecher in that city. He la.
mented the fact that Christ's people were
carried away by the slosh of the learned
gentleman's dissertations, and added
II felt ashamed to have such grand doc.
trinss as the inspiration Of the Holy
Scriptures and such awful truths as the
final punishment of the ungodly
travestied and held up to ridicule, and
felt specially humiliated that should be
the successor of that man as pastor of
the Second Presbyterian Church." Here
the audience broke out in understandable
applause, showing that Mr.. Beecher's
tenets have not the unqualified approval
of his old Indianapolis friends. DR..
Pierson afterward privately ressserted
his strong opinion and was warmly con.
graduated by many of the prominent
ministers for bis bold stand.

Interesting Observations.

a staff correspondent of the Phla.
delphia Press, who has been visiting the
principal cotton manufacturing points in
the South has written out some cb-er.
vations which possess both interest and
encouragement. This correspondent
thinks its natural advantages for manu-
featuring are 80 great that the Southern
cotton mills may before a great while
become dangerous competitors with those
Of the North. He says that the question
Of skilled labor is being rapidly over.
come. Despite the fact that the number
of spindles is rapidly increasing every
year, the manufacturers have more ap.
pications from Northern operatives than
they have places to give, whilst the
native laborers are fast becoming trained
and skillful. Many of :he large mill
owners are sending their sons North to
be educated and trained in the mills
there. These young men, who are intel
ligent and quick study the workings in
the Northern mills and keep up with all
the improvements made there, which are
quickly reported and readily adopted ia
the Southern mills. The Pre@'s cores
pondent finds that labor and living are
both much cheaper in the South than in
the North, while another immense ad-
vantage claimed for the manufacture Of
cotton which has not been compressed,
as it must before it can be shipped in the
lint, can be spun into finer, smoother
and more flexible and stronger thread
than any produced in the Northern
mills.

SOCTH CAROLINA AT BosTOE.-Al.
though the Board Of Agriculture at its
recent meeting did not take action on
the invitation to the Stale to make an
exhibit at the fair of the New England
Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute,
in Boston next fall, it must not be sup
posed that an appropriation will not be
made for this purpose. The members of
the board appreciate the benefits which
would result from crcditable exhibit by
the State, but they are somewhat
hampered for the means with which to
make it. 1t will cost a good deal TO col
ect such number and variety Of pro.
ductions a5 alone can represent truly the
resources Of Sou Carolina. II tho ap.
preparation is m;.Le it will no; be half
way one. The State will make q fine
exhibit or none ut all Several members
think that the Legislature should have
made specific appropriation for the
purpose and not lei. the burden Of nc
cepting and fulfilling tie States invita-
tion to the Department of Agriculture.
They point to the action OF other South
ern Legislatures in the matter as in
marked contrast with that of ours.
The board will probably meet again
before long, and if there is money
enough the exhibit will almost certainly
be made. But there is no time to lose.
The collection of specimens will take
much time and labor, and if anything is
to be done it should be begun ut once.

TROY. S. c., Feb. 13.-Charleston is
the natural market OF this new railroad.
have talked to the people along the
line and find that they would like 10 do
their business in Charleston Take as
an example the new and prosperous town
Of Troy. 1t has only beeu established
one year and can now boast OF eight
stores, number Of nice dwellings, two
SAW mills, ten cotton gins, one nice
church and large merchants mill.
There have been shipped from this place
since the lst Of September $500 bales Of
cotton and the number will certainly
reach $500 during the cotton season.
Now, say that Charleston il the natu.
raj market Of this place. The people
are all Carolinians and have some State
pride. They would much rather seo
their trade help build up city Of their
own State but, at the same time, they
have some gratitude, and they know that
Augusta did help them when they could
not help thcmselvcs-sh subscribed
largely to the construction Of the Au-
gusta and Knoxville Railroad and she
is now reaping her reward. OF the q.
GOO bales of cotton shipped from this
place 500 bales went to Augusta. Over
100000 bushels of red oats were shipped
over the road, and other produce in pro-
portion, and it all went 10 Augusta.
Our people now have on foot the con.
s.ructiOn Of the Savannah Valley Rail
road. They are not able to build it
themSelyes. They are looking around
for help. They have applied to Charles
ton, with no encouragement. They ap.
piled to Augusta and she at once respon.
ded with a subscription of S25, 900 Oh
condition that the road should tap the
Augusta and Knoxville Road at McCor-
mick's and not at Troy. and that it should
! not cross the Augusta and Knoxville
Railroad. 1t is generally conceded that
the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railroad, or the old Atlantic
and French Broad Road, will be built.
1t crosses the Augusta and Knoxville
Road at Troy.
II the Savannah Valley Road should
come to Troy then the freights OF that
road would at least be divided between
Charleston and Augusta. 1t is known
fact that the distance from Anderson to
