They are now nicely quartered in the Shillito dwelling, which is surrounded by the choicest flowers, the rarest evergreens, and the most poetic trailing viuew mat cvci giwicu i..v v.. of happy people. May they be indicative of the pleasant life which gathers around the cheerful Ingle of the hearthstone within. The Press ami Banner wishes the young lovers a long journey, good health, and happy hearts, all the way to the River. Their example in getting married is worthy of imitation. We have numbers of young people who should follow their example and go "in the way in which our father's trod." "Red Hot." We learn from a private source that "'the New York store Is making things red hot in Greenwood." The list of prices in that store reminds us of an incident that occurred in Abbeville. The owner of the store which Mr. Rogers rented;proposed to take goods for the rent. Mr. Rogers, replied. "Well, really, I sell my goods so cheap that I would prefer to pay the cash." The New York store at Greenwood is revolutionizing things there about. Mr. Rogers, the man who preferred to pay his rent in cash, because lie sold his goods so low, is in town taking orders for his Augusta bouse. ?. Notice.

ItIt possible that nobody will offer for the office? or can it be a fact that some embryo coroner is plowing by the roadside? General Hemphill was chosen chairman of the Abbeville delegation at the State Convention last week. Auditor Jones was the most famous man in the city. Everybody knew of blm from the mauner in which he started the State officers after the banks. It Is thought the banks of Charleston will erect a monument to him. His name has been suggested lor Comptroller-General, but he says he Is satisfied with being Couuty Auditor. Mr. Benet went to Atlanta yesterday, where he is to make a speech to-day. Ho will go to Sumter next week as attorney in u mur tier case. ? We regret that circumstances prevented us from publishing some letters that are on our table. They will come next week.

Iiik Notes oT a Pleasant Journey front .South Carolina an?t Through Historic (<rou!iil. Baltimore, May IS, 1SSS. Editor Press and Manner : "What 11 Messing is a good rain,'' is a thought that was often in my mind last Tuesday alternoon as 1 passed up the railroad from Donald* to Greenville. The refreshing influences of the rain, that bad fallen through the previous week, were everywhere visible. The leaves had put on deeper hues, the small grain were rejoicing on every side, the flowers emitted sweeter fragrance and were arrayed in richer and more beautiful and more varied colors atid reflected more fully the glories of heivcn, and even the mules and negroes stepped up with a brisker pace. The rain is one of God's gifts though we often forget it. It is one of the proofs of God's great bounty. I l'iwi ?r> n?<> imnMipn world the rain is the rep reselltative of a prccious and glorious truth; it. testifies to the divine goodness and rebukes that. distrust of God's gracious feelings towards u< in which we are often disposed to indulge. Paul said in au address to a heathen audience, "Nevertheless lie left not himself without witness in that lie did good and gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, tili| ingour hearts with food and gladness." None of the vanities of the heathen can give rain. It is sent by our heavenly Father on a mission of mercy. No doubt. It is brought about by natural causes, but causes originated, appointed and administered by nature's great I author. There arc two mistakes which even good people make about the rain. (1) They do not pray for it as tlicy should, and as they are encouraged to do; and (2) when it does come they do not see in it the linger of God and are not sufficiently grateful for it. A PLEASANT VISIT?FINE COACHES. A friend met me at the depot on our arrival at Greenville and took me to his home and a pleasant evening was spent and sweet converse enjoyed with those whom I had known and learned to esteem highly in years agone. About one o'clock that Light I boarded the train on the Piedmont Air I,Ine and glided smoothly and rapidly on my Northern trip. A traveller canuot fail to notice and admire the magnificent and elaborately built coaches on tliis road. The passengers are not only comfortably but luxuriously provided for. About daylight we had crossed the line into North Carolina and before sunrise on the 16th we entered the city of Charlotte. During that day I passeu inrouRn wv iwu great States of North Carolina and Virginia, and saw much that would Interest your readers if I can command time to write It out with any degree of fuluess. A WORD IX BEHALF OF CATHOLIC IMMIGRANTS. In the old North State the small grain crop is much more promising than at home, particularly the wheat stalk was taller and the head iuuch larger than with us. A few cotton factories were seen on tli6 route and much was said among the passengers about the meeting of plaid manufacturers held a few days before in Charlotte. There was inucb talk, too, among them about the recent convention at Ashcvilie engineered by "his eminence" Cardinal Gibbons -of the Romish church. I must say frankly that I could not sympathiso with much that J heard on this subject. I don't understand the opposition o/ many of our people to Catholic Immigrants. We need all tlirough the South more population; It is only In this way that we cau get our lands cultivated, our mines worked and all our varied resources developed. Of course we don't want anarchists and criminals and tramps, but we want people who are willing to work and if Catholics will do that work 1 say let them come to our Southern land by the thousands and the ten thousands. I am not afraid ot the votaries of the Pope of Rome when they come here to live under our liberal institutions. (Catholics have made good citinam nnd will mnkrt them in the I future. They learn very soon to think loi themselves and will not be blindly lead by their priests as they are in Spain and tbe South American States. Let us couvert them into good citizens, if they will not be I'roia^tants let us train them to vote intelligently" and lead sober Industrious lives, even if they continue to worship tlie Virgin Alary and believe in the Pope of Rome. It wo cannot teach them as much as this and assimilate them into our body politic, with all our preachers and newspapers and colleges.it is certainly a very deplorable confession ol weakness. I don't believe that the welfare of this county is to be advanced by prescription, by excluding either the Chinese or Catholics troin our shores. I believe in freedom of actiou and freedom of thoughtund the opposite of this antagonises the spirit of our institutions and ought not to be encouraged by the American people and especially by tbe people of South Carolina. A GOOD BKEA Iv FAST. At Danville we got breakfast, ralher late, after nine o'clock, but the most fastidious epicure could not have found even the smallest objection to it. Ample justice was done to that breakfast by a set of very hungry people. The breakfast house is owned and run by the railroadcompary.all the table linen and every spoon and every piece of crockory having enstamped upon it the name of the company. To furnish such a breakfast eveu at 75 cents will not swell very largely the dividends of YYF r. I,nrl Mtrnwhpprifs. hefef steak, shad, chicken, bauanas, oranges, apples and every tiling else that was good in lavish abundance and plenty ol time to eat it all. If a crowd of people ever did look good humored and seemed permeated all over and clean through their true inwardness with pleasureable sensations, it was that company that stepped out of the breakfast house at Danville. As they got out ol the cars Ihey looked uncomfortable and slightly haggard and some even wolflshly hungry, but twenty minutes work at that table wrought a wonderful transformation. There had been many muttered criticisms not very devout on the railroad company about the late breakfast, but now all that was gone and every thing and every body seemed full of blessedness. Tho truth is, that the power or a well filled stomach has been greatly neglccted by tho philosophers and perhaps it may be the crowning glory of this age, enterprise and mental activity to get an appreciative view of that remarkable organ and bring it out to that highest seat from which It has all along been excluded. THE HAPPY NONSENSE OF YOUNG PEOPLE. At one plnco about two dozen of picknlckers came aboard the train; they had spent the day roaming the woods, gathering flowers, fishing the streams and talking and listening to the empty talk which young people so highly prize. Whatamazcd me was that they were not utterly worn out with their day's work; but they talked as glibly and rapidly and laughed as loudly and showed such hilarity and vivacity and such an exhuberance of fun and frolic that they must have had an overflowing spring to draw from. 1 wonder if these people ever have such a tiling as a serious solemn thought? Is there ever room for one such to enter and remain even the short esi Willie ilium mill. limns ui i-nci tcnuiij; seething nonsense and frivolity? I cannot answer tliis question, I am afraid if it was correctly answered that my opinion of tliern would not be raised much higher than it now is. HISTORIC (!ROUND?WAR PICTURES. About noon we came to Lynchburg, with its groat massive hills with their rugired rocky sides, located on the James river. We crossed many rivers during the day, the Dan, Xew, Otter, Yadkin, Tye, Rapldan, Kappahannock, but none are more historic than the James. As we crossed the river, my Imagination went down to where Richmond is seated upon its banks and lower down called up the terrible lightings between the Union and Confederate soldiers during the last (may It remain forever the last) war; then I thought of the first settlers and Capt. Smith and Pocahontas and the Jimsen weed, &c. Then came Chariottsville, that noted seat of learning, where so many of our Southern men have been educated and even many of our own state. From that place to the Potomac, a region, p6rliaps, ol a hundred and fifty miles in breadth was indeed historic ground. Over all this region war did Its horrid work of destroying property, murdering men and multiplying widows and orDhans. Scarcely a tree or fence rail was left, hardly a horse or cow remained, the land was wasted and became a desert. That's an ugly picture to call up from the past. I reckon there is nota square rod 01 earth along the line of this railroad that has not been dyed with soldiers blood, not a house that was not despoiled of some of its inmates. THE BLESSINGS OF l'KACK?PROSPEROUS PEOPLE. But within these more than twenty years just pasta great and blessed change has been brought about. This devastated region in the hands of a thrifty people has become garden?this once desert has been made to rejoice and blossom as the rose. The whole country on either side of the road is settled with beautiful farm houses, all painted, and many of them specimens of architectural beauty. Fields of clover and timothy abound, many line cattle are seen grazing. I saw no Jeiseys, only Pevons and Holsteins, and not a cow among them all that I would have given my own milker for. Many fields of corn were seen, but a great deal of the land was being prepared, not yet planted. The preparation is thorough, most of the ploughing being done with large ploughs and double teams and then it is carefully harrowed. The chief purt, In fact, of the cultivation Is done before the seed is planted. Barbed wire fences are taking the place of the old zigzag, limber is growing In many places and the whole coun try teems to nave renamed in material interests what it lost during the war. BEAUTIFUL IIOUSKS AND MICH LANDS. One cannot but wonder at the recuperative power of tliis land and this people. I don't reckon that the people who live in these beautiful houses and cultivate these rich lands are in debt, or that they buy their supplies on liens, or that they mortgage their farms to borrow money to pay their current expenses. I wish that some one would come to old Abbeville and teach our people some things that wo have not yet learned. Hut now wo are nearlng the Potomac and that glimmering light several miles to tlio north-east is tbe electric light on thecapitol at Washington where so much eloquence and wisdom havo been poured forth and?where such disgraceful scenes have been enacted. Darkness came just before we crossed into "Maryland, my Maryland," and another hour on the rail brought me to my destination, the Monumental City. SAFETY VALVE. The month of May is the season for all the denominations to have their high courts and chief assemblages. The Southern Haptist Convention met at Richmond on the 11th. The Northern Baptists met in Washington city on the 10th, the Northern Presbyterians met In Philadelphia on the 17ih and the Southern Presbyterians the sntne date in this city. The Cumberlands and the United Presbyterians also meet litis month. The Methodists began their General Conference In New York city the first of the month. The Christian people meet in May and tho politicians assemble in June. Certainly the latter do not contribute much to the moral improvement of the common weal as contradictory as that may scent. Yet these political conventions are a safety valve in such a form of govern- ' merit as ours and cannot be dispensed with. 1 will try and tell you something next week, about tho Southern Presbyterian Assembly. J. O. L. Immigration iind the CntholicH. Greenwood Tribune. I Some weeks ago the rress and Banner made an attack upon the Immigration Convention at Hot Springs, N. C., alleging that it was a schemo gotten up by the Catholic Clergy to bring their followers down in masses upon , us. smite us "hip and thigh," possess our "goodly Inheritance" and lead our children Into a sort of Babylonish captivity. About a column was devoted to this sheer nonsense, and wo had hoped that our neighbor, seeing ' the error of its ways, would be right-minded enough to hold its peace upon this subject. Butloaud behold! here comos the Associate Reformed. Presbyterian, whom we least expected to aid In this persecution, with a quotation lrom the Washington rout, crying in spirit, if not In words "Heain't dead! He ain't dead! Hit 'lm again!" Whereupon the J'ress and Banner begins to hammer away once more. Now if these papers object to immigration, why do they not tight It upon its own merits and demerits? Why do they sow tho seeds of intolerance and hatred between . Protestants and Catholics. Why descend to . attributing Improper motives to a certain denominations, In order to prove a proposition ? The idea of the Catholics overturning our institutions, and making "hewers of wood and drawers of water" of our children, . Is too utterly absurd to bo considered. As to the legal or moral right of the Board of Agrl- I culture to appropriate funds to immigration schemes we are not conecrned, but we see no reason why one denomination or a class of them should assume the arbitrary privilege of i Judging the motives of another. The Catholics may have faults, but let that denomination that "is without guilt castthe first stono" of condemnation. Let us examine well our 1 own doorsteps ttefore we undertake to sweep that of the Catholics. The Very Nanjflity, Naughty "Press j and Ilnniier." < Greenwood Tribune.

If the Rock Hill Herald were to extend or widen its view it would find that the Press and Banner does not stand alone in opposition to a separate agricultural college. More thau a few others stand on the same ground, albeit the Press and Banner is able to stand alone and take care of itself. Our opposition is not against farmers or farminer but to an experiment which ill its progress will cost the farmers many times more than it will profit even a favored few, and in the end will go the way that similar enterprises in the State have gone. A much safer and more profitable investment of surplus funds would be to use the interest thereof in awarding annual premiums an the various products of the farms in the State. At one time nothing would satisfy Israel but to have a king. God, seeing their persistence and disregard of warnings through Samuel the prophet, at last let them have their own wayThey got a king, Saul, who proved to be anything but what they expected? a.curse. The best place to learn how to farm is in the field. Agricultural College? How would it do to have a Grammar /arm, a Geography machine shop, or a Latin and Greek lumber mill ? Or, as the women arc coming, might not there be a medical millinery "annex ?" For it seems that the women are beginning to think that it may be said of tbe men rulers in this country (?by 110 means including South Carolina?) what poor old Job said of his friends : "Ye are all physicians of no* value?" Mere than Amazing. The expressed or implied endorsement of that farmers "Hot Springs Convention" by some newspapers in the State and the expressed or implied fear *and suspicion of these same journals concerning a Convention of Temperance men in Columbia is extremely amazing?if nothing more. No danger to South Carolina with the other Southern States from a convention manipulated in the interests of Romanism ! Great danger from a convention of sober, native citizens of South Carolina lest they should split the Democrat party and let the Republicans grasp the rope9 and whips of State government. Is it the policy of the leaders in the Democratic party to so stock the country with Roman Catholic immigrants as that they [the Democrats] may continue in power over the negroes and the white Republicans in the Southern States ? If so we can tell them something else that will surely follow: As soon as the Romanists get the power which the true inwardness of that "Hot Springs Convention" is intended to give thorn, they will, with the coalition of fickle Protestant minions take the reins in their own bands, and then break the heads of the simpletons who put the stick in the hands of the enemies of civil and religious liberty. Mark what we say. The State of South Carolina has, through its Department of Agriculture, subscribed* the requisite sum of $1,000 to constitute it a member of the Southern Immigration Association, under the actiou of the convention held Inst month at Hot Springs, North Carolina, and Major L. A. Ransom, secretary of that convention, and also of the Board of Agriculture, has been chosen as a member of the Board of Directors.?Anderson Journal. When did the "State of South Carolina" do that? Who called that convention, anyhow? Who composed it? By what authority were those delegates sent? Was it the Convention or even nil of the delegates from South Carolina that authorized the "Department of Agriculture" to subscribe $1,000 to that "Immigration" schemc? or was it only some of the South Carolina delegation in a rail car caucus as they were on their way home? The people of South Carolina have a right to know something more about this Jesuitical scheme. But whether they shall know is a question. Prof. F. C. Woodward accepts the chair of English in the South Carolina University to which he was recently elected, and assumes its duties the coming October. . V r'1 *.^7. Xcw Professors for the South Ci?roHlift College. Tiio new professors of the South Carolina College, under the rearrangement and enlargement of the college, have been elected by the board of trustees. They all come, of course, highly recommended and we have no doubt are well fitted for the positions for which they have been chosen, but it does look a little queer to us that they (the trustees) should have to go so far away from home for so many men to make up the faculty. Were there no more applicants from our own State and graduates of our own colleges, or were none of them well enough fitted to fill the places. We have often wondered why, in so many instances, places of this kind, not only in South Carolina College, hut elsewhere, are given to men from abroad in preference to and over our own men.?Newberry Herald and News. In the list of new professors given by the papers F. C. Woodward is said to be a tyethodist. Why single out the church relation of this one and say nothing of the others? Why not have named the church to which the other new professors belong? It would not beatniss forthe church of the several members of the faculty, old and new, to be given even as that of Prof. Woodward was announced.?Ed. C. N. How slow the churches are to understand and accept one of the main lessons of the Gospel, namely, that Christianity means. Peace, may be seen in the fact reported in the daily papers, that one of the moat influential preachers of our day, Tallmage, recently appeared in his pulpit in the uniform of the "National Guard," with which he is officially connected.?Ex. That's JDr. Tallmage up and down, in and out. He must needs keep on adding piece to piece of his "coat of many colors." m ^ General Conference of the M. E. Church (North.) In the Methodist General Conference in New York a proposition to elect Bishops at one time, accompanied by a statement that there were combinations among the candidates, down aftercrent excitement. Judging from what seemed in the County Conventions a majority in favor of the "primary," we were somewhat surprised at the statement that in the State Convention. (May 17) that only 83 votes were cast for the primary and 207 for the convention plan for electing governor and State officers. Mr. E. W. Heyward, the assistant miller of the Planters' and Fuctors' Rice Mills of Charleston, met a horrible death on May 21. He was caught in the shafting and in another second was being whirled around at the rate of 150 revolutions a minute. He leaves a wife and two children. Jas. Johnson, a saloon keeper in Atlanta, has been reformed on the occasion a murder which took place at his "splendid establishment," and will sell out his business regardless of loss. "His friends? are annoyed at his de cieion, but lie will not be dissuaded from his determination." Dr. James \Voodrow will be permitted by the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly to make his complaint before that body. Dr. S. A. Steel withdraws from the editorial staff of the Central Methodi?t. On the 24th of May, 1788, the first convention of American Presbyterians, in session at Philadelphia, adopted a resolution providing for the formation of a General Assembly. The one hundredth anniversary of that event is to be commemorated by ceremonies in;the Quaker City exteuding over the period from the 17th to the 27th instant. The Northern Assembly sits in Philadelphia and the Southern in Baltimore. The latter body will unite with the former in the celebra tion of the 24th. Many of the most eminent members of the denomination, clerical aud lay, will deliver addresses oil this oceasiou. The most important topic tocome before the two assemblies is the proposed reunion of the two bodies. Efforts to secure this end have been put forth streuuously, and incessantly, but without effect, for over twenty years. Whethfer these efforts will finally prove successful in this centennial year of the church remains to be seen. Mare appearances are not a sure test of value, but appearances go a great way in the matter of winning or repelling confidence. This is as true of inanimate as of animate things. Thus, for example, a manuscript which"is rolled may have its value; but to tlie average editor it appears to be worthless, and it must have extraordinary merits to win his favor in spite of the form in which it comes to him,?if, indeed, he consents to attempt its. opening. So, also, a pamphlet of any sort which is rolled for m'ailing is uut at a disadvantage with every one who receives it. From the days of the Apoccalypse to the present time, a |sealed roll seems a hopeless secret to the most interested observer. Jf, therefore, you would avoid the appearance of evil, never, never roll a manuscript or a pamphlet which you would have examined by an intelligent fellow-moral. The Northern Methodist church is a strong body. The additions since tiie last meeting of the Central Conference (four years ago) number 450,000. Tho Church has twelve theological seminaries and fifty-four colleges. Its membership is about two millions. The membership of the Methodist Church South is over a million. The growth of this body has been wonder. ( ful.

A feeble purpose is the offspring of a feeble fuitii. saiu iticnaru x?aiter: "I easily observed myself, that, if at any time, Satan, more than at other , times, weakened my belief iu the Scriptures and of the life to come, my zeal iu every religious duty abated with it, and J grew more indifferent in religion than before. But when faith revived, then none of the parts or concerns of religion seemed small, and then man seemed uotbing, and the world a shadow, and God was all." There is no better way of promoting one's own interests than by being unselfish. He who is always looking out far tha u'Alfjire nf nf hera will be sure to have others looking out for his welfare: while he who i9 always looking aut for himself will be left to take care af himself. In this sense there is wisdom as well asgracein usclflshness. Says the son of Sirach: "He that rejuiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter: and when lie falieth he shall find a stay." But is a practical matter, one will not be unselfish in order to promote his own uterests; for, so long as he has liiuiielf in mind, unselfishness is impossible to him. A battle is a terrible conjugation of he verb kill. I kill, thou killest, he tills, we kill, ye kill, they kill, all kill. ?Thomas Carlyle.
