Another Company for Savannah.—We
understand that the “ Washington,” another
sterling company attached to our department,
will also make a visit to Savannah in the forth
coming occasion, previously referred to by us.
Be it said to the credit of the “ Washingtons,”
that they have helped in no inconsiderable
degree, to uphold that character, which has
always distinguished our firemen, who are un
questionably second to none elsewhere.
Charleston has just pride in her Fire Depart
ment, and her citizens feel confident that the
representatives of it she sends to her sister city
will never allow it to suffer from a want of a
display of those qualities with which we have
been familiar for so many years. Who doubts,
that the “ Washingtons” will be equal to the
coming and ever to be remembered occasion.

The Secret of Impeachment.—ln a
private letter to a friend, defending himself
against a charge of inconsistency in his
course in respect to the impeachment busi
ness, Representative Cary, of Ohio, says :
When the impeachment failed before it was
deemed desirable to get up a case, and Stan
ton was selected as the agent to bring it
about; he was induced to remain in the
War Department to bully the President,
and get up a case for impeachment. I
believe that the whole affair is a bold, bad,
damnable scheme, and I predict that even
the general unpopularity of the President,
and a general howl against him will not
satisfy the people that revolution is now
necessary or justifiable.

Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
of the Charlotte and South Carolina
Railroad.—The Columbia Phoenix, of Thurs
day, says :
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
this company was held yesterday at Nicker
son’s Hotel. The meeting was organized by
the election of Hon. James Hemphill, of Chas
ter, as Chairman, Messrs. John Y. Bryce and
Charles H. Manson, as Secretaries. A quorum
of stock being represented, business was pro
ceeded with. The President, Hon. William
Johnson, submitted his report, accompanied
by those of the Superintendent and Treasurer,
and the committee to whom the same was re
ferred, reported that they had examined the
same, and find the condition of the company
to be fully as favorable as could be expected in
the general depressed condition of the country.
They believe that the completion, this year, of
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, will, with
other causes, add greatly to the prosperity of
this company.
President Johnson being called upon, gave a
detailed statement of the progress of the work
on the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and of
its financial condition and prospects; adding
that they were brighter than ever.
An election for a Board of Directors for the
ensuing year was held, and resulted in the
unanimous choice of the following: William
Johnston, A. B. Davidson, J. A. Young, W. H.
Neal, of North Carolina ; A. B. Springs, York,
S. C.; G. J. Patterson, J. J. McLure, Chester,
S. C.; W. R. Robertson, James H. Rion, of
Fairfield; L. D. Childs, John Fisher, A. R.
Taylor, of Richland. In consequence of change
of residence, Maj. C. D. Melton was not nomi
nated for re-election.
At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Di
rectors, Wm. Johnson, Esq., was unanimously
re-elected President.
The Autopsy of Mr. McGee.—The doctors
have observed that the cranium was very thin,
almost transparent. A thin, bony envelope is
the indication of superior mind, and the thin
ner it is the stronger is the talent. Such were
the heads of Sir L. H. Lafontaine and of the
Hon. A. N. Morin. The brain of Mr. McGee
weighed fifty-nine ounces. The mean weight
in man is forty-five ounces. That of the great
Irish orator, O’Connell, weighed fifty-four
ounces. That oi the Lord High Chancellor of
England was fifty-three and a hall ounces. De
puytren’s brain weighed fifty-eight ounces, and
Cuvier’s fifty-nine and a half ounces. In Mr.
McGee the liver and lungs were sound. There
was, however, a large deposit of fat around the
heart. The physicians were of opinion that
the deceased might have lived long, a rather
surprising circumstance, when his former habits
and checkered life are taken in consideration.
The Hon. Mr. McGee was assassinated like
Pins IX.’s Minister, by severing the caritod
artery, which carried blood from the heart to
the brain. It is of sufficient capacity to bring
to the brain as much blood as all the other
arteries to other parts of the body. .This ex
plains why all wounds of that organ are mortal.
There are nearly ninety pounds of blood in the
human body, each ventricle of the heart con
tains one ounce, and, as it contracts seventy
times per minute, it propels in that space of
time two hundred and fifty younds of blood, of
which one hundred and twenty-five pounds, or
one-hall, are for the brain.

An Awful Tragedy. —On last Monday
night, one of the soldiers belonging to Captain
Summerhaze’s “ detail,” sent to this point to
superintend the polls, was shot dead in a negro
house of ill-fame, by some one as yet unknown.
Persons have been arrested, but until the af
fair is fully investigated, and the guilt or inno
cence of the accused established, we forbear to
express any opinion. While the sad occur
rence is lamented by all, and regretted espe
cially at this time (during the election,) no one
fairly disposed can, in any way, reflect upon
the fair name of our town, or attribute the
melancholy occurrence to anything but a con
sequence of dissipation and immorality.
Captain Summerhaze, the commanding offi
cer of the detachmant, and our Sheriff, Mr. R.
A. Heath, were active and prompt in their en-’
deayors to bring to justice the guilty party or
parties; and the gentlemanly bearing of the
officer in power, and our knowledge of his gal
lantry, persuades us that all fairness wilfbe
shown in the investigation. An examination
is now being held by the Coroner, the result
of which we will give, if the verdict is given
before we go to press.— Warrenton Clipper.
Love’s sweetest meanings are unspoken. Ths
full heart knows no rhetoric of words; it re

You May Be Too Late.
Be warned in time. Diseases like Indigestion and
Dyspepsia are not to be trifled with. There is such a
thing as being too late in these matters. Inflamma
tion, or Scirrhus Cancer, or some other dangerous disease
may ensue, when all restoratives, no matter how potent,
would be ineffectual. Do not delay then. When the
symptoms of Dyspepsia are first experienced resort at
once to the great restorative medicine, HOSTETTER’S
STOMACH BITTERS, and you will be safe.
But few disorders involve greater suffering, and, if not
in itself immediately dangerous, it is the source of many *
deadly maladies. Even if it did not tend to greater evil,
the mental and physical misery it produces is alone a
sufficient reason why no pains should be spared to pre
vent or cure it. In no country on the face of the globe is
it so completely domesticated as in our own, where it is
found in nearly every household. HOSTETTER’S
STOMACH BITTERS are universally conceded to be
the sovereign remedy for this annoying disease, as they
act directly upon the digestive organs, correct and tone
the stomach, and give renewed vitality to the system.—
Acting delightfully upon the nerves and soothing the
brain, renders them efficacious as a mental medicine, as
well as a genial stomachic. If taken as a preventive,
they will b« found particularly well suited to the diseases
arising from the unhealthy season of autumn, and their
use will prevent the creeping, unpleasant sensation often
complained of when the chills are stealing slowly upon
the patient. apls-eod4ctmyl
