Hccordcr’e Court.
Louis A. Picquet was charged with
violating the 18th and 21st Sections of the
City Ordinance, on the n?>'' of the 27th
ultimo. Messrs. J. C. Black and A. D.

points—one as to jurisdiction. The Court
overruled the objections and gave a patient
hearing to both cases. For violating the
18th Section, Mr. Picuuxt was fined twenty
dollars, and for abusing an officer (21st
Section) fifty dollars and costs. An appeal
will be taken.

Important Hailroad. Enterprise.
The Columbia Phtvnix contains the pro
ceedings of a meeting held in that city on
Thursday evening to advmice the.interests
ol the Chathaift Railroad enterprise. Col.
James G. Giubs presided, and addresses
were made by Mr. A. B. Andrews and Mr.
Goubdin, of Charleston. The Company only
ask a charter from the State, but no aid, as
they already have a capital of $2,000,000.
This Road is to connect Raleigh with
Columbia, touching the Chatham Coal Field,
and opening up a portion of South Carolina
heretofore isolated from the great thorough
fares which intersect the State. It shortens
the distance to Raleigh one hundred and five
miles, and it is claimed will save to the
• citizens of Columbia in the article of coal
alone five dollars per ton. The Raleigh and
Gaston Railroad Company is backing this
enterprise. t

vidual of which is interested in. tho manage
ment of the great Company which Mr-
Campbell has been called upon to superin
tend.
Hints to Husbauds.
Ji. Let every husband be persuaded that
there are two ways of governing a family ;
the first is by expression of that will that
belongs to force ; the second by power of
mildness, to which even strength will yield.
When a husband accustoms himself to say
I will, he loses his empire.
2. Avoid unnecessarily contradicting your
wife. When we smell ala rose, it is to
imbibe the sweetness of its odor ; we like
wise look for anything that is amiable in
man. Whoever is often contradicted feels
au insensible aversion for the person who
contradicts.
3. Never take upon yourself to be a censor
upon your wife’s morals, nor read lectures
to her, except affectionately. Let your
preaching be a good example, and practice
virtue yourself, to make her in love with it.
4. Command her attention by being
always attentive to her; never exact any
thing from her that you would not be willing
that she should require from you ; appear
always flattered by the little she does for
you, which will excite her to kind offices.
5. All women are vain; in some their
vanity is insufferable. Never wound this
vanity, not even in the most trifling instance.
A husband may have more sense than his
wife, but he should never seem to know it.
6. When a woman gives wrong counsel
never make her feel that she has done so,
but lead her on by degrees to what iff
rationals with mildness and gentleness;
when she is convinced, leave her all the
merit of having found out what was just
and reasonable.
7. When a wife is out of temper behave
obligingly to her ; if she is unkind, never
retort or find fault with her, with a view to
humble her.
8. Choose well your male friends ; have
hut few, and be cautious of following their
advice inflll matters, paricularly if inimical
to the foregoing instructions.
9. Cherish neatness without luxury, and
pleasure without excess; dress with talto,
and particularly with modesty. Such
things may appear trifling, but they are of
more importance than imagined.
10. Never be curious unnecessarily to
pry into your wife’s concerns, bvt obtain her
confidence by that which, at all times, you
repose in her. Always preserve order and
economy; avoid being temper, and
be careful never to ’scold. By this means
she will find her own house more pleasant
than any other.
11. Seem always to obtain information
from her, especially before company, though
you may pass yourself for a simpleton.
Never forget that a husband owes his
importance to that of his wife ; if he degrades
her he injures .himself. Leave her entirely
mistress of her action, to go and corno when
she thinks fit. A husband ought to make
his company so amiable to his wife, that she
will not be inclined to seek any other; then
she will not look for pleasare abroad, if he
does not partake ol it with her.

Inducement to Keep Sober.—The will
of the late Thaddeus Stevens has been.
admitted to Probate. The great commoner
makesit to the interest of a relative to join
the Sons of Temperance :
“If, at the end of any five years, ■ Thad
deus’s nephew shall have shown that he
has totally abstained from all intoxicating
drinks through that time, the trustees may
convey to hi m one-fourth of the whole
property. If, at the end of the next.suc
cessive five years he shall show that he
totally abstained from all intoxicating
drinks they may convey to him one-fourth,
being one-half the property. If at the
end of another consecutive five years he
shall show that he has abstained from all
intoxicating drinks, they may convey the,
whole to him in fee simple. If he shall
get married before the house I live in is
sold, he shall receive tho same and occupy
it without sale. In case my nephew, or
rather the annuity of said Capt. Thaddeus
Stevens of Vermont, should e'Xpira before
he has enabled himself to become entitled
to the corpus or fee simple of my estate,
then 1 dispose of whatever may re
main as follows, If tho aggregate sum
shall amount to fifty thousand dollars
without which no further disposition can be
made. 1 give it all to my trustees, to erect,
establish and endow a house of refuge for
the relief of the homeless and indigent
orphans—tho£e shall be deemed orphans who
have lost their parents —I devise $20,000 to
be expended in creating suitable buildings,
the residue to be secured in Government
securities bearing not less than six per cent,
interest. The orphans who can not be bound
out may remain in the institution until the
age of fifteen years, and longer if infirm, at
the discretion of the Trustees. They shall
all be carefully educated in the various
branches of an English education, and in all
industrious trades and pursuits. No’prcfer
ence shall be shown on account of race or
color. Neither poor Germans, Irish, or Ma
hommedafis, nor any others ou aeeouiit'frf
their race or religion, or their parents, must
be excluded.
The Editor.
A schoolboy’s composition on *i‘ Tlhtf
Editor” ran as follows, in a school not "far
from here:
"The Editor.— The editor is one of the
happiest animals in the world. He can go
to the circus, afternoon and evening, without
paying a cent; also to inquests and hang
ings. He has.free tickets to pic nies olid
strawberry festivals, gets wedding cake sent
him, and sometimes gets a licking, but mat
often, for he can take things back in we
next issue, the which lie generally does. I
never knew cnly one editor to get lickt. His
paper busted that day, aiid be. couldn’t take
nothing back.
“While other folks have to go to bed early,
the editor can sit up late every night, and see
all that's going on. The boys think its a
big thing to hang on till 10 o’clock. When
I am a man I moan to be an editor, so that
I can stay out nights. Then that will be
bully. The editor don't have to saw wood or
do any chopping, except with his scissors.
Railroads git up excursons for him, knowing
if they didn’t he’d make ’em git up and git.
In politics lie don’t care much who he goes
for, if they are on his side. If thfcy ain't,
he goes for 'em any way; so it amounts to
nearly the same thing. There is a great
many people trying to be editors who can't,
and some of them have been in the profes
sion for years. They can’t see it, though. If
I was asked if I had rather have a education
or boa circus-rider, I would say, let me go
and be a editor.''

The NoBTDEAsmuf Railroad.—-AVo are
pleased th laarn that the project of reviving
.Ute charter of the Northeastern Railroad,
itoni Athens to Clayton, is in a fairway of
co-.iauinination, with a good prospect of a
speedy eoinpfelion. It would open up a
magnificent country, whose development has
been retarded for want of an outlet lo market,
aud it would afford the shortest line from the
markets of the gretjt West, to die South
Atlantic ports, is needed to
demonstrate tajp-importance of this road.
Nor is there any difficulty io the way of its
speedy completion, if those to be benefitted
by it will unteJlearnestly in* the work. The
Georgia/*ilailroad will, it is understood,
endorsathh bonds of the road to tho extent
of at ftast $500,000, guaranteeing the
interest on them. The city of Augusta will
probably as much more, and tho farmers
along the line will, we are assured, take
stock to the,extej)L9f their ability.
A largo poftuin ol the route is along a
level ridge, easily graded—a part ol the
upper portion alone running through a
country requiringJfeavy grades.
*lmmigration follows railroad progress. It
wollld be . sound policy to allow the large
landholders along the line of this road to
taka stock in lauds. These the Company
would make available as the road progressed,
selling them to settlers for work on the road,
or to others, thereby securing a hardy and
-industrious population, and developing local
btrsine’S for the line. This policy has ena
bled the roads of the Northwest to concen
trate an immense tide ol settlers in regions
remote and uninviting compared to the
beautiful country to be penetrated by the
road to Clayton.
The Blue Ridge- Road, with which the
proponed line is designed to connect at or
near Clayton, is progressing slowly but
surely from Knoxville, being completed
about 25 miles, and graded nearly to the
North Carolina line. In the latter State a
movement is on foot to press the great work
forward, with every prospect of an early
eonsumutatiou. We presume an opportunity
will be afforded at an early day for taking
stock in the road to Clayton. We trust the
people fl>e line will wince their
appreciatiqjrollts importance bv streh
as to inducoQne patties
intercstcd'below, to press it forward to an
early completion.

Shooting.—We learn that u citizen was
shot at three limes yesterday morning bv his

have no interest in these family ftffairs,' even
when au attempt is made to reduce the
number thereof. But the public is, or may
be affected by tho promiscuous discharge of
firearms within the corporate limits ; there

we are, it is most respectfully suggested that
all target practice take place from human
