A Card.

Brethren of lhdvay Presbyterian Church :;
Let us rise up and build new church.
The time is suspicious. the generation calls
for it, the means are at hand. You have 8
acres of land, time-hoaored spot, with
enough large pine upon it to furnish the
necessary lumber. A saw-mill is within
a mile and half of the place; the owner
of it is one of you, and will do generous
thing. With the new making ma
chine at Slabtown brought near, brick can
be made on the spot at two dollars thou
sand. The young men will enter into it
with alacrity. The young women will
encourage them. With teams and your own
hands good many subscription bills can
be worked out. 1t is time to build. Mt.
Zion is building. Midway is twice as
strong. A new generation has sprung. up
around you-young, active, ardent, with
keener tastes and finer appreciation of the
beautiful. They will not be content with
the same architecture of the past. If not
provided for will drift from you. 1t is q
building age. We must build now or fall
in the rear of an advancing age. We have
come to new era. Old people must notice
it. A neat and tasteful edifice will interest
the children and youth, and engage their
affections. The old people will be thank
full when it is done, and wonder why they
did not do it sooner. They will contem.
plate their new structure with pride, and
leave their memorial standing when they
depart to better cline. 1t must be a
thing of taste. No mean ediice will take
rank now. There arc hundred of nice
plans to he had. Your people will more
readily give $50 for neat thing, than $40
for an old fashioned box. Where there is
a will there is way. You can build as
easily as say so. Let us rise to the work.
Appoint congregational meeting at an
early day to consult and make arrange
ments. Several gent lenicn have already
said they will pay SI0O.

Gen. Beaurogard's History.

Leading papers, North and South, seem
to concur in the opinion that there has
been no more valuable contribution to
the history Of the great war between the
States than that of General Beauregard.
Both as to its style and as to its matter it
the ablest and most dispassionate critics.
"Its WORTH" says the Charleston Ne,us
and Courier cannot easily be overesti-
mated" and zone of it's most valuable
qualities" says the New Orleans Picayune,
sis that it makes plain so many facts that
have not before been made known"
The book is indeed revelation in many
particulars. More of the inside history
of the Confederacy and Of the causes of
its failure is told in its pages than in any
other similar work. General Beauregard
was the first general officer appointed by
the Confederate government, and was the
central and pre-eminently conspicuous
figure in the first and most momentous
eyes of the world were fixed when the
curtain rose in the harbor of Charleston.
From that time onward he was conspicu-
Gus either as first or second figure in
the army Of Northern Virginia; in the
Western army, again at Charleston in the
world-renowned defence Of that devoted
city; at Drewry's Bluff and Petersburg;
in command of the vast division of the
West" directing the operations Of Hood
and Taylor and Forrest; and at the close
once more in the Carolinas and Georgia.
The history of the campaigns in these
varied fields constitutes splendid pano-
rama of ever-shifting scenes, sometimes
illumined by the light of victory, some
times darkened by the shadows OF defeat,
but always fraught with the deepest inter-
est.
In no other book is to be found so full
a history of the most eventful epoch in
the existence of South Carolina. No
where else is contained so full and authen.
tic history of Cardinals part in the
drama in which, for four long and fate
full years, her fair city by the sea was
storIned at by shot and shell, and excited
the wonder and admiration of tho world
by her heroic and successful resistance of
the most formidable and desperate siege
of modern times. It is the book which,
more than any other, will carry down to
posterity the record of the heriosnn Of the
soldiers of Carolina, whether with Rhett
and Elliott within the grim walls OF Sum
ter, or by the frowning batteries surround
ing it, or charging with Hampton, Ker-
leaders on the blood-hecked fields of
Virginia. Wherever they were during
that long and terrible conflict Beaure-
CARDS eye followed and his heart went
with the Carolinians, for it was with them
that he defended Charleston so long and
well, and with them that. more than
once, he saved the life of the Southern
Confederacy in the hour Of its imminent
peril. His history, therefore, will be of
special interest to the people OF this
State, and should be in the house OF every
Carolinian

Thanksgiving in Anderson.

Thanksgiving Day was strictly observ-
ed in Anderson. All places OF business
were closed throughout the day, and
every rybody was free to spend the day &C.
cording to his or her own pleasure and
disposition.
The day was spent i'll various ways.
Most persons who could get gun went
hunting, and this rabbits and birds were
considerably thinned out. Others in
dulged in sports and game, while good
ly number "loafed" around in the streets.
Sumptuous dinners were also freely in
dulged in.
Union services were held in the Baptist
Church in the morning at IL o'clock, the
crowd in attendance being very large.
Rev. DR.. Frierson, of the Presbyterian
Church, preached the sermon, his text
being the oath verse Of the 4th chapter of
1st Kings: For he had dominion over
all the region on this side the river, from
Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings
on this side the river: aud he had peace
on all sides round about him." Before ta-
king his text, DR.. Frierson said he did not
think 1t proper or in place for Christians
as body to rejoice over party victories,
arate and distinct; that while we may be
rejoicing here over the recent victory OF
the Democracy, others in another section
may be deploring the defeat of the other
party. Further than this he made no
reference to the politics of to day. After
taking his text, he briefly reviewed our
whole country's history, beginning with
the time when the Puritans first landed
in America, referring to it's great religious
liberty and Christian privileges, then al
luding to its wonderful resources, It's 1er-
tile plains and valleys, the great rivers
and lofty mountains, the almost endless
sea coasts, the various climates, our man,
uiacturing and industrial enterprises, al
of which, he said, made ours the grand,
est country on the globe, and that we had
much to be thankful for. The "rmon
throughout was very interesting ln-
structive.
Everybody enjoyed the day Of res. aud
felt ut its conclusion recreation from
business which fitted them the better to
engage the following day in the ordinary
duties Of their several ayocations.
