On Dit.— Fashionable circles are in
a high state of excitement preparatory
for a priate masquerade that will
shortly take place under the auspices of
some of our leading citizens. The fair
sex are thronging the store of W. AJ.
Jones to view the French patterns on
exhibition.
Artificial Manures.— lt is gratify
ing to observe the increased attention
heing paid by our planters to commer
cial fertilizers. Stovall and Edmouston
advertise genuiue Peruvian Guano,
Cell's Raw Bone Phosphate, and Zell’s
Phosphate of Lime, to which the atten
tion of our agricultural triends is di
fected.
Pile Bikferenue.— The Edgefield

Aiken Prat, a paper about to be started
in Barnwell disiriek thus kindly tenders
its compliments to the new comer:
‘•W e beg Messrs. Kirkland and Have
nel to accept the Msurance of our heart

_ Ij does not appear that tjje Pope bas
UlTOUl"aiattl If bei%f Jfebliged to

He has addressed an invitation tb"Vf£o
bfchop* of the Catholic world to
bleat Rome in the month ol June* l|6f,
to celebrate the eighteenth centonnary
ot the martyrdom of the Apostles Peter
and Paul, and the canonization of seve

against bis mother for stealing twoCWHts 1
from him. He said he wished to put
her ‘'in thg bole" ioc,robbing him. The
Justice gav* him twf cents and he went
Olf his waV rejoicing.'
Doctoring Fruit Ttkks.— lt is said
that insects may be driven from fruit
trees, which have hcen almost destroyed
by them, by boring a. hole ittio the body
of rfib tree, nearly through the sap, and
inserting two grains of calomel. As
soon as the *as> takes up the calomel
the vermin on the tree begin to die,
and the tree wili its freshnesf,
and bear fruit- The experiment is Worth
trying.
Warning to Boys. —The Hdgefield
Advertiser says, that while two little
sons of Mrs. Richard Burton, a widow
lady living near the village, were out
hunting, the gun of one of them was
accidentally discharged, while* he was
loading it, blowing his brains out. We
have often been surprised to see little
fellows, not much more than half as
high as a gun, permitted to go hunting.
Ibis sad accident should be a warning
to those having charge of youth.
Edgefield Items. —The A/hertistr
says an affray occurred in the upper
part of the District on Friday last,
which resulted in the death of Mr. Stan
Chappell, and a negro man, whose name
is not giveu. It appears that Chappell
and a man named Frank Payne had a
difficulty, in which Payne was severely
shot, when he fired at Chappell, killing
him instantly. Mr. Jeff. Payne, a
brother of Frank, then interfered, and
was fired upon by the negro who was
with Chappell; he in turn shot the
negro and killed him.
sTheat*re~—Benefit.— Notwithstand
ing the inclemency of the weather, a
crowded house, last night, evinced the
appreciatibn hi which Mrs. Watkins is
ht:Ta*lti our City. The" bill selected lor
the occasion of her benefit was the
touching war drama, “Not Dead Yet.”
Harry Russell’s grand scene of,“The
Maniac,” by Mrs. Watkins; Saxfc’s
travestie of ‘ Richard, Duke of Gloster,”
by Dr. Couturier; and an amusing do
mestic burletta. entitled, “It takes two
to quarrel.” We have only room to say
that the entire performance passed off
with capital effect.
The Tenure of the Office Bill.—
This-bill, recently passed by the .Senate,
di prives the President of the power to
appoint or remove any officers except
the roemberk of his Cabinet, with
out the adv ce and consent of the
Senate, und prevents removals and ap
pointments .during the iece-8 of Con
gress, except in certain specified eases,
which are subject to the action of the
Senate within twenty days after its re
assembling. This is an important step
towards the usurpation, by Congress, of
powers properly belonging to the Ex
ecutive.- =
--S j
Chills.—A number of our fyfSfhiLs,
who are still haunted wfih thegc fin
plensant companions, ,se«m to have
overlooked {be * simple remedy pub
lished by us a few days ago, and we,
therefore, repeat the dose. It is said to
be very effective, and it is certainly in
expensive and hot bacHo take ;
For an adult, take a tablespoonful of
prepared chalk, put it iu a little less
than half a tumbler of vinegar, and
drink while it effervesces. Take one
such dose the evening before the day
you expect a return, p£ the chill, and
another next' day abdut two Jiours be
fore the expected attack.
Curiosity of the Sr*. —A London
letter says the women are actually, from
their curiosity, becoming a nuisance in
our law courts, especially in cases where
coarse and indecent evidence has to be
pgiveuip. In the Divorce Court they
act shamefully in their desire to hear
the filthy testimony. The other day a
Judge attempted to get rid of his “lady"
audience, with only partial success.
Some evidence of a very gross character
being impending, the Judge directed
that ail respectable females should leave
the court. There was a pause, during
which some of the women retired. There
was thjn another pause, and the rest
evidently intending to remain, the
Judge added: “All the respectable
females having left the court, the case
will now proceed."
Thb Pacific Railroad. —The San
Fruncisco Bulletin Las received infor
mation from some railroad surveyors,
and gives tables of distances of the
routea by the Central and Union Pacific
roads from San Francisco to New York
via Chicago and via Denver and St.
Louis. By the shortest route through
Chicago and omitting 300 miles down
the Humboldt river, it makes the dis
tance 3040 miles. Adding the 300
miles the distance Is 8340 miles. From
the common intersection, the table adds
130 miles to Denver, making from that
point via Chicago the distance of 1988
miles, and via Denver 2141 miles.—
Should the junction be made at Salt
Leke, the table would be in favor of the
Denver and St. Louis route' by over 300
miles, and would be much more in favor
of the direct route were (he junction
made at Sacramento City.
"Tight oTT TTaTY B{'W*sT—TliT
business Is nrtffikgod by tffe Freedrn«m*a

and he has discovered that he can fool
the Government out of rations and

subject?
Comous Accident from Lime and
K4romnk.—Mr. Samuel Cof;*of the
town of Saratoga, Winona county, Wis.,
met with a serious accident on Friday
week, while stacking a quantity of
common jime in a kerosene barrel in
the cellaf*. After adding Wnter and'
while stirring with a stick, he brought a
lighted candle in contact with the steam
or gas, which instantly exploded, throw
ing |;im .soideeight or ten feet ag&ieist
tfte r Cfllfhr waif, ripping ud the Ifbnse
floor, throwing Mrs. Cox from her chafr,
and burning several of her fingers to a
blister, and burning the lips and longue
of a young lady who was standing at a
table in the same room. The hole
through the floor was about four feet by
eight. Particles ot lime were thrown all
over she house. The explosion was
terrific, and, notwithstanding being shut
up in the house, it was heard at a
distance of a quarter of a mile. The
face and hands of Mr. Cox were burned
to a blister, and , was otherwise
bruised so that he was confined to his
bedl Isis eyes were also swollen shut
for two daVs." Under medical care he
was doing well. *
Fred. Dodglass at Nashville.—
The Nashvillians were delighted by a
speech trom Fred. Daogjass the. other
night, in which he broadly intimated
that the deaths of President Harrisom
General Taylor, and Abraham Lincoln’
were .procured to. make way toij theiy
respective Vice Presidents, He would
not say that Amly Johnsou had any
thing to do with the death of Lincoln,
but he would say that the men who
murdered Lipcoln, knew Andy Johnson
then, as we know him now. He there
fore favored the abolition of the office
of Vice-President. .He would not place
a man behind the chair of the President
within striking distance of him. Men
have shed blood to obtain crowns, and
a man, he said, has obtained the Presi
dency through an assasshiatien. He
did not want, when he was made Presi
dent, to have a Vice-President standing
behind him, smiling and stabbing as
well. And the papers tell us these
infamous sentiments el.cited “great ap
plause.” The Nashville Press if* Times
3ays the speech was the greatest effort
of the distinguished orator’s life. Such
sentiments uttered agniust Mr. Lincoln
would have consigned the author to
Fort Lafayette.
Significant. —An evening paper in
Washington, which is regarded as con*
veying the sentiments of the President,
says of the administration :
If necessary, its strong and iron hands
will be invoked to stay the course and
prevent the consummation of radical
treason. The great oath of the Presi
dent to protect and defend the Constitu
tion will not be forgotten, and the people
who sustain him with their five hundred
thousand majority of the voting popula
tion, North and South, will not forget
him. Events have already brought the
Government to the very verge of another
revolution. If the Radical majority ill
Cougress pursues its course much longer
the Government, in order to sustain
itself, will have to arm its supporters,
North and South, and thfe army and
navy will respond. In such a contest
the issue cannot be doubtful. Con
gressmen may be valiant fighters on the
floor of Congress, but! when they come
to lead their cohorts into the field it will
be another thing. The real army and
great soldiers of the Republic will be
found fighting under the flag we adore.
Notwithstanding the opposition of the
Radicals, it is a determined fact that
Andrew Johnson will serve out his con
stitutional term of office.
A telegraphic dispatch, received since
the above was in type, states that the
above article was not published in the
President’s organ, and was not author
ized by him.
Caution to Boys. —These who drive
cows with full bags should never make
them run. This we may all know, but
it is well to repeat what the cow driver
may know perfectly, us it will freshen
his feelings of kindness towards those
useful domestic animals. It the cattle
are lazy, and it is necessary to use force
to make them walk smartly, a pliable
stick should be employed. When a boy
we were very fond of a whip of this
kind, and used to save the skins of utl
the eels caught, and dry them for lashes.
It makes a loud crack, is good compa
ny, and much feared by the cattle, which
take care not to lag behind. Never
threw at cattle stones or pieces ot wood,
and never cause them to run, boys.
The Signal says that Capt. Sweetraan,
with a detachment of if. 8. Cavalry,
has been in Dahlonega several days of
the present week, investigating difficul
ties between soldiers garrisoned there
and citizens. Upon, investigation, he
found the difficulties to be of a personal
nature, hence, has returned to Hor
ganton, from whence he came.
—The Emperor of Brazil has just
liberated the national slaves, the profits
ot whose labors belonged 10 the Crown ;
and large numbers of the freedmen, we
learn, have entered the army, and are
being forwarded in detachments to the
seat of war. This looks like the first
step towards the general emancipation
in Brazil—at least, it is so regarded j?y
the Abolition party of the Empire.—

If the people are permitted td come
