— Sav. News.
Savannah Advertiser: The heated
term, if anything, shows the number
of those matrimonially inclined to be
considerably in excess of the several
previous months. The number that
have procured the necessary papers
from the Ordinary during the month of
July to contract matrimony amounts to
seventeen whites and twenty-six
blacks. For the mouth of June the
number of licenses issued were thirteen
to whites and twenty-two blacks.
Gainesville Vindicator: A friend re
siding near the Talbot line informs us
that among the parties arrested near
Bellevue some time ago, for horse
stealing, is one who proposes to turn
State’s evidence, and whose testimony
will implicate some parties who have
hitherto borne unblemished reputa
tions. One of the men in jail is a man
of wealth, and has never been taught
in the commission of any illegal acts
before. Kich developments are ex
pected.
Savannah News: The editor of the
Washington Gazette writes a column to
suggest to tho young men of that town
that they ought to hire a camp ground
for tho purpose of practicing on their
brass horns. This suggestion is more
powerful than an aphorism. None but
those who have sat under the influence
of an eighteen year old maniac with a
music book before him and a two-horse
trombone clasped in his warm em
brace, can understand the lonesomeness
of the thing.
Macon Telegraph: A double wedding
ceremony took place in the Jewish Syn
agogue Wednesday, which we have not
noticed before because of our inability
to obtain the names of the parties most
interested. The couples made happy
by this rather unusual event were Mr.
Samuel Gunhouse and Miss Mary
Friend, both of this city, and Mr. M.
Fisher, of New York, and Miss Sarah
Friend, of Macon. Both the brides
were daughters of Mr. J. Friend, our
well known Mulberry street merchant.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Mr. Steiuheimer, of Macon, aud Rev. S.
Gersoni, of Atlanta.
Savannah Advertiser: We take the
following extracts from a letter to ono
of our Bay street merchants from
Emanuel county, dated July 25th: I
am sorry to say I am not making one
third of a crop of corn, and if possible,
uot one-quarter of a crop of cotton. Iu
this settlement we have not had rain
to do any good since May. Our crops
are burnt up. I fully expected to make
four bales of cotton, and the prospect
now is that if I get over one bale I will
do very well. One-half of the leaves
have fallen off and the young forms are
following suit rapidly, and I shall, from
present prospects, only get cotton from
the present grown bolls, and they rise
scattering. This neighborhood is the
worst off by drouth of any near by, but
I learu of others that are making noth
ing.
Macon Telegraph: James Sterling
Gibson, a former pupil of Prof. Wil
liams, but now matriculated in the
State University, is a most remarkable
instance of the maimer iu which the
destruction of one sense seems to
quicken and intensify the others. Mr.
Gibson belongs to the Agricultural Col
lege, and is a member of the junior
class. He is totally blind, and without
the aid of books with raised letters
learns his lessons by simply having
them read to him or explained by his
friends, J. Gibson (a cousin), and H. M.
Starnes, of Augusta. Yet the Faculty
unite in saying that he is one of the
best scholars in the institution, and es
pecially excels in history and mathe
matics. These statements are perfectly
reliable, and certainly evince a first
class intellect and surprising powers of
concentration on the part of the blind
student.
Macon Telegraph: The election of
Professors Waddell, Rutherford, Speer,
and General Win. M. Browne, also af
ford food for public congratulation,
and will be followed, we trust, by the
re-election of every other member of
the present faculty. In all the institu
tions of the country we have never met
with an abler or more accomplished
body of instructors. Dr. Tucker we
have personally known for near forty
years. He is a native Georgian, of
commanding intellect, great versatility
of mind, abounding humor, attract
ive manners, and a .decided erudi
tion. There is a certain bonhomie and
naivete abeut him refreshing to behold
in these conventional days, and, we
may add, a something je ne sais’quoi
which challenges the regard and ad
miration of all who may have occasion
to approach him. The Doctor is, more
over, a Christian, and when assailed by
"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart" in the
late squabble for the first office in the
University, lie refused to plead to the
ridiculous charges tabled against him,
and with a sublime faith exclaimed:
"My trust is in God ; He will not deliver
rue into the bauds of mine enemies,”

OUR BARNWELL LETTER.
The Weather—The Crops—The County
Commissioners—The Town Hall, &c.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Barnwell Court House, S. C., (
August 1, 1875. ' j
Since my last letter we have had one
or two tolerably fair rainfalls, and in
some portions of the county the rains
have been extremely good—regular
“trash movers,” as the farmers term it,
though no amount of water can save
the larger portion of the crops now, as
they are destroyed beyond redemption
—Sol’s scorching rays having success
fully done a sad and blighting work
some eight or ten days ago. The crop
in this county may safely be estimated
at about half of its general yield,
judging from the unanimous com
plaint of our planting community,
the consequence of which will be’
that our octogenarian and worthy
sheriff, Col. N. G. W. Walker, will
doubtless have large sales after No
vember next, which will also tend to
the benefit of our old friend and worthy
and well known editor, E. A. Bronson,
Esq. “It’s an ill wind that blows no
one any good,” you know, and if the
readers of the time-honored Sentinel
had heeded the wise and paternal ad
vice found in its wide-awake columns
at the commencement of the planting
season, and not planted every foot of
obtainable laud iu cotton, they would
assuredly have been decidedly better
off Possibly next year they will pay
more attention to what the “old Senti
nel” has to say, and come to the wise
conclusion that “what Bronson knows
aliout farming” is more valuable and
safe to follow than those who preach
continually that “cotton is king.” In
my opinion, dear editor, corn is king
now, and bacon his “right baud man,”
while potatoes, peas, oats, wheat, &<;.,
follow close in his wake—cotton bring
ing up the rear.
Our County Commissioners.
Last year Barnwell sent her Commis
sioners to the penitentiary, but the
chief magistrate of rotten Radicalism,
Moses, saw fit, in his wise judgment, to
restore them to liberty, in a few
months after their pardon the Radical
nominating convention met in Biack
viile, alias Leslieville, to nominate can
didates for the coming fall (last) elec
tion; and lo ! aud behold, they actually
placed on their ticket one of the very
convicts whose hair had not recovered
from the damage done it by the peni
tentiary shavers, and agaiu elected
him (Caesar Cave) to his former office,
together with another dusky son of
Africa, and one decidedly meaner and
lower in the scale of social equality than
his office colleagues, a white-skin man
named George E. Osborne. We say
white skin man because we have it from
good authority that at a negro meeting
near Williston, during the cam
paign, he actually attempted to
delude his ignorant hearers into be
lieving that he teas a negro! Whether
he has a black stripe down his back or
not, I am fully aware of the fact, as are
also our whole people, that he is a
thorough Leslieite, a stigma alone suf
ficient to damn him in the eyes of every
respectable man of both races. But I
have “flown the track,” like a bolting
filly, and must get at that I intended to
say at first. It is this: The Commis
sioners of the county have recklessly
squandered every dime of the county
funds, paying off old and new claims
against the county held by Blackville
advocates, and absolutely ignoring or
refusing to pay the just demands of
others, until now there are not even
funds sufficient with which to pay
the Trial Justice’s claims—nay, not
even enough to pay the necessary
fees or expenses of the county’s
lunatics at Columbia, two having been
returned and left at the Poor House, at
this place, last week, in consequence, I
supp. se, of the lack of funds to defray
their expenses at the Asylum.
I rather guess s me of our dusky
marshals will again have the extreme
happiness of conveying to the State
Hotel the present Board of Commis
sioneis, aud at no very distant day
either. If such is the case, they need
hardly expect to be roaming among
our people again within two or three
months after their incarceration, as did
the others, for they well know that
Chamberlain is not the idiot aud scoun
drel that their former friend Moses
was. j have but one objection to
Osborne’s going there, and that is I’m
afraid his contaminating influence will
corrupt, even to a greater degree, the
convicts present. But his conviction,
imprisonment, &c., is only a supposi
tion of your humble scribe’s, so he will
bring the matter to a close until he
may possibly have the felicity of in
forming you of the real occurrence of
such a thing. “We shall soon see vat
ve shall see.”
Poor Carolina!
Annexed is a paragraph clipped from
the Kingstree Star of the 28th ult, giv
ing an account of an incident that took
place in the Court House at that piace
some time last week, and which forcibly
portrays the wretchedly miserable con
dition of the onee proud and ehivalric
South Carolina, once the garden spot
of the Union and the home of Calhoun,
the Pinckneys, Rutledges, Hamptons,
Prestons and others of world-wide re
nowu. “The first case tried at the late
term of the court was Johu F. Nesmith
for another vs. D. J. Pipkin. The suit
was on a note for negro hire before the
war. There was proof of some pay
ments, and also proof that one of the
negroes ran away and was taken back
by his owner. So that the real question
was whether there was anything due on
the note, and if so how much. The
jury was composed of eleven colored
and one white man, the latter being
chosen foreman. The case was ably
argued by Mr. B. P. Barron for the
plaintiff, and Mr. R. Dozier for the de
fendant. An appropriate and lucid
charge was delivered by J udge Shaw,
and the jury retired. After remaining
in the room near an hour, they came
out and the foreman went up to the
judge and delivered him the record.
The judge looked at the paper, and
then ' sent the jury back. They re
mained a while nud then returned
and the foreman again approached
the judge with the same result, till he
had sent them back three or four times.
Finally the verdict was published -For
[ the defendant,' the foreman signing
I his name with the word ‘as’ before the
word ‘foreman/ which the judge caused
him to erase, We afterwards learned
that their first finding was ‘.No bill for
the defendant/ the second, ‘No bill for
the plaintiff/ and the third, ‘We find
nothing for the plaintiff.’ Who wants
a jury trial before such a jury ? We
caii Gov. Chamberlain’s attention to
the case, as illustrating what sort of
juries we are afflicted with in this
county."
Our Town Hall.
The Town Hall, of which I wrote you
in my last, is now soon to be built, the
lumber having already been purchased.
This is a work long felt in this commu
nity, and will bo the means of reviving
two or three Masonic Lodges in and
around this place, which have, for the
last five or six years, been doing noth
ing.
We have an old man down here who
claims to be li t years of age, Recollects
the Revolution well; will interview him
soon and send you details.
The Dunbarton Siamese Twins, of
which I wrote you a week or so ago,
are doiug well, and the mother earning
a nice little sum by exhibiting them.

The Colored G-lorification at Orange
burg— A Large Crowd —The Speeches
&c.
ISpecial Dispatch to the News and Courier.]
Orangeburg, August 2.— One of the
largest gatherings of colored persons
ever seen here met to-day to celebrate
the emancipation of the slaves in the
West Indies. The Randolph Riflemen,
a colored company of Charleston, and a
band arrived with the speakers about 2
o’clock. They proceeded to the Claflin
University, where the meeting being
called to order it was addressed by W.
11. Purvis, the Adjutant General of the
State, in a tolerabl}’’ moderate speech.
The Rev. T. H. Jackson followed with
a capital speech, in which he gave
some wholesome advice to his hearers.
Elliott also addressed the crowd, but
was not as well received as Jackson.
He was too verbose for his audience.
Benj. Byas next began an address, but
the band made a diversion towards the
town and his speech was lost. All the
speakers were colored. The affair was
rather tame, and seemed only intended
to keep the politicians before the vo
ters. Quelquefois.

Song of Saratoga.
BY JOHN G. SAXE.
“ Pray, what do they do at the Springs ? ”
The question is easy to ask;
But to answer it fully, my dear,
Were rather a serious task.
Aud yet. in a bantering way,
As the magpie or mocking-bird sings;
I’ll venture a bit of a song,
To tell what they do at the Springs:
Imprimis, my darling, they drink
The waters so sparkling and clear;
Though the flavor is none of the best,
And the odor exceedingly queer;
But the fluid is mingled, you know.
With wholesome medicinal tilings,
So they drink, and they drink, and they
drink—
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
Then, with appetites keen as a knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dine—
(The latter precisely at three,
The former from seven till nine)—
Ye gods! what a rustle and rush
When the eloquent dinner bell rings!
Then they eat, and they eat, aud they eat—
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
Now they stroll in the beautiful walks,
< r 101 l in the shade of the trees;
Where many a whisper is heard
That never is told by the breeze;
And hands are commingled with hands,
Regardless of conjugal rings;
And they flirt, and they flirt, and they flirt,
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
The drawing-rooms now are ablaze,
And music is shrieking away;
Terpsichore governs the hour,
And fashion was never so gay!
An arm round a tapering waist,
How closely and fondly it clings!
So they waltz, and they waltz, aud they
waltz—
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
In short—as it goes in the world—
They eat, and they drink, and they sleep;
They talk, and they walk, and they woo;
They sigh, and they laugh, and they weep;
They read, they ride, and they dance;
(With other unspeakable tilings);
They pray, and they play, and they pay—
And that’s what they do at the Springs!

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
— O' -
milE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made into a very even
A lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then llnished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
IiITSO]N\S PATF-NT EVENED
gj fV
Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only vary one-quarter of an ounce to tho yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
ftyThere is also a great saving of room and power over tiie old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of tiie Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at tiie best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester,
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials which we have received:
AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.
The, Kitson Machine Compang, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen : We have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, for more than one year, and frankly say that they have given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Maciiines.

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, [
Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. j
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: I have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more than two years past at the i otton .Mill of the
Langley Manufacturing Company, and have found it to work the most satisfactory of
a>y opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. We h ive no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against lire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
