W. F DJRISOE & SON Proprietors. EDGEFIEL S. C; AUGUST 8 1865. - TIlE LOST LAIBiIN. - Was there ever a sweeter creature than dear fittle 'golden-baired .Flora. Campbell, with her~ light fairy footsteps 'hond rosy cheeks, and violet -eyes ? .' How lovely she looked as she bounded over the green braes in the morning; or lingered by the lochside at'the quiet. gloaming ! Her heart was all sunshine, and.her thoughts pure as the flow era she.twined in her .shining tresses.. 'U'isa.beautiful story they tell in Scottish vlleys, of a poor idiot (" innocent," as they - calLhim) who, when a sunbeam fell athwart his eight, as he sat in cherch, threw his cloak across it-and the mantle hung upon .the shining motes.-They tell us that Faith worked the miracle-for Heaven would not disappoint the idiot's trust. Sweet Flora Campbell! sbe might have thrown her mantle over- the sunbeam; ay, and walked the'glittering path with delicate feet, till she reached the bright heavens above -for her young . heart was all Faith and Hope and Charity. She prattled with the flowers, and the streamlets and the birds; and her clear, ringing. voice was heard at day-break, amid 'the heather, when she shep herds led forth their flocks. O,' sunny and joyful and happy as the ' day is long, was dear little Flora Campbell. : All loved the gentlechild-and why should they not I Did not her tender hands bring fresh flowers to tho sick wife of Robert, the S'ploughman ? And did not her low voice tremble softly in-prayer at the bedside of old - Elspie, the blind beggar-woman? O,'who would not love the angle-hearted little mai -derii But> where is Flora? Twilight is falling over-thi mountains, and shutting in the vales like a grey curtain. One by one, the bright stars steal -up into the- summer sky, -and twinkle amid the fleecy evening clouds. The . tinkling sheep-bell sounds nearer and nearer, as the flocks return to their mountain pas. . tares,, and the lowing of the kine in the farm-yard tells that the labors of the day are' over. - -But where is golden-haired Flora Campbell . She was not used to linger so long from her grand-father's dwelling-for now the evening meal was spread, and the cottage lamps lighted. The aged man. clasped his hands-together, and murmured a short prayer while his -daughter, the mother of Flora, looked anxiously out of the window, yearn ing for her child's return. But Flora came not. the valley. The old peasants sat at their cottage doors, and the young men and mai- i dens gathered upon the village green, some to walk, and some to talk of love under the broad chesnut tree-some to play the pipe or dance to its merry 'music, and some to hurl the quoit, or wrestle in the ring. But all was hushed when Gaffer Campbell came hurriedly from. his cottage, inquiring of the villagers if they had seen his grand 'child. . Yes indeed bad they. One had beheld her far up in the mountains, -plucking wild flowers, and weaving them into a garland of heather; another had met her in the path to Moss Glen, sitting by the .wayside, and plaiting a willow basket for her grandsire, and a third had received some forest 'fruit from her hand as he saw her basket of flowers, near the, head of the loch. " Ah, we must 'seek Flora," cried the youths immediately.-" The dear child-no * harm can surely come to her." "'Ah, meb Gaffer Campbell," said a white haired old shepherd, shaking his head, "1. reared something-for the youngest lambkin of the flock was lost to-day, and it is a bad sign, they say." "Heaven grant that-my poor lamnbkin be - safe !" said Gaffer Campbell solemnly, " Amen !" murmured the white-haired peasant. -The villagers nowv dispersed in various paths-leading to the mountain, the forest, and the lock ; and soon torches gleamed upon the heights, and glimmered among the trees, and flashed brightly over the water. Up and down, along the stream and through.the . woods, went the .young men, calling the name of ." Flora, Floral" But no Flora answered. Gaffer Campbell leaned upon his staff and spoke not a word. He could. not weep, for a heavy weight was on his heart. But the 'mother of Flora was loud in her grief.-She * .wept, and beat her Breast, and called aloud the name of her child. The aged pastor . pow approached.- He had heard at 'the manse, of Flora's disappearance; for every house had been .searched within the hour ; and he now came to comfort the bereaved ones . 'Fear not, daughter," he said -" Flora will return." " - Ah; she is lost-she is lort to me," cried the motber. . " He-who teibjpereth the wind to the shorn lamb ~will protect our swveet child," answered -the-old pastor-"*Fear not!"~ And as the reverend man' spoke, the loud . barking of a dog wlas heard from-the depths of Moss Glen, and lights appeared passing quickly down the valley. "Trust in heaven !" said the minister .-Let' us seek, and we shall find- the child." - ih trembling, yet hurried steps, thepas ,dr and Gaffer Campbell- took their way to' the. deep glen.-Brut the mother of Flora passed them, and ran wildly down the narrow 'path, Lotder and louder sounded the bay of the dog from-the thiek gloopn in which the salewas shr'ouded. - They rea4~ed. iil brink of a wide ravine .or chasan comnonly khden'aa the " Deer's Mouth," and pasdnear i group of villa grers, who, wit torches in their hands, were listening eagerly to catch the baying of the bound. . Again it .came, low and deep, seemingly from the gulf beniesth them, 'They beat thteir torches over the edge of the precipice, and strove to look down: hut all was dark and silent, save the barking of a Aog, quick and sharp. - - - We mnst descend," cried a young man nresindfrwar.-"That's Luatlh's bark," and Luath knows Flora as well as I do. Run, Donald, for ropes." - A half dozen lads started together, at this bidding, and soon stout ropes were brought and held by strong men, while the youth prepared to descend. "'rake heed, Christie," said the white haired old shepherd-" Remember the omen, my lad-the youngest lambkin.of my flock waslost to day, and I fear more evil.'" "Fear nothing for me, father," cried the young peasant, swinging himself into the dark gulf from the edge of the rock; while again the loud bark of the dog sounded from the chasm. Down, down the youth was lowered, startling the wild birds from their nests under the cliffs, and brushing the twining ivy leaves from the sides of the rock. At last he reach. ed the . bottom, and the noble dog Luath sprang upon him, barking loud and joyfully. The. glare of the torch which the young man held flashed around, and lit up every object. There, upon:a thick bed of heather, lay sweet- Flora Campbell holding in her white arms, and close to her bosom, a young lamb. Christie stooped and gazed at her. She breathed calmly, and he knew that she was sleeping. He glanced at the lamb, and saw that one of its legs was bandaged with rib. bons from the child's hat. Then he looked up, and shouted aloud-" She is safe !" The shout was echoed so loudly and glad. ly, that it awoke the young maiden from her slumber.-She glanced around with a bewild ered gaze, and recognized'the youth. - "Dear Christie," she said, in her sweet simplicity, " I am so glad you have come ! Now we will be able to save your father's lamb." Christie and the villagers soon learned all. How Flora hAd beheld the young lambkin, where it had fallen, at the bottom of the " Deer's Mouth," and saw that one of its delicate limbs was broken ; how she had descended from ledge to ledge of the chasm side, clinging to the ivy, and thinking not of danger ; how she had bound up the lambkin's broken limb with her bonnet ribbons, and held the mute sufferer in her arm; and how, at last, weary with her exertions, she had fallen asleep upon the bed of heather, and slumbered on till Christie's shout awoke her. Joyful and'happy the villagers were, when assured of'Flora's safety; and the white. haired peasant, Christie's father, blessed the fair child, and gave to her the little lambkin which she had rescued. And often after. wards might Flora be seen bounding over lie braes, with her pet frisking behind her. And whenever she appeared, the old villa. ers would smile and say-" God bless the 0, there is many and many a lost lambkin n the great world, wandering from the path )f safety, and sunk in the pitfalls of danger. And are there not, likewise, many Floras among the happy ones of society, who will id in rescuing the stray ones, and binding ip their bruised bodies and souls? Shall we not hear in this our Ragged School Re porter that the happy children of other schools sympathize with our efforts to better the condition of poor little "lost lambkins" of society ?-Ragged School Reporter.

Mother ! watch the little tongue - Prattling eloquent and wild, What is said, and what is sung~ Catch the word whifeyet mnspokcen, Stop the vow before 'tis broken ; This same tongue may yet proclaim Blessings in a Saviour's name.

The Virginia Examiner is constantly giv ng his Northern friends, the Yankees, a unch in the short ribs. Tfhe Editor of that aper has recently been taken to. task for hese continual attacks upon Yankeedom, ad replies in a lengthy article, from which ve extract the following story, wyriten many ears since, but merely introduced to illus rate his argument. .A Yankee is not to be known. by the pre ise spot of Northern soil from which he ails. The Yankee cannot be defined geo raphically. In a rare book, published in 832, in South Carolina, we find the best portrai9tre of the characteristics of-the Yan keesve ever saw. If our correspondent re ognises his own features, then we part corn pany forever ; if not, then he and ourselves have no further cause of controversy~ Henry Trevor, the hero of the book in uestion, had signed a bond with the Devil, some thirty years before, bartering away his soul for a certain period of uninterrupted pleasure and prosperityr At the appointed hour, but quite unexpectedly to him, the De vi appears and demands the penaltf of the bond. Trevor tries to beg off', of course. After a long parley, his somewvhat indulgent creditor says: " However," continued he, "I have a variety of business to attend to,. which will occupy me upon earth for nearly a week. It. wili probably be four days before I return to ell I will leave you until- then to get rea-. dy to accompany me. I will also make an offer which will afford you a chance of as cape. Provided that you will deliver to me the souls .pf twenty-five other persons, I wil take them as a substitute for yours;and agree to cancel your bond." Trhus speaking, the Devil disappeared. We shall let Trevor tell hik own story. I-'instanstly set to work, and published the following advertisement: *"\WANTED TO PURCHASE, Immediately, twenty-five souls. Being *very anxious to obtain them, and having abundance of money, the subscriber is wil. ling to alloiv a high price, and to pay the cash down. HENRY TREVOR." Expecting of course great difficulty in finding .out persoris willing to sell, I employ ed most of the day in circulating this notice as much as possible. Upon returning to my. house, ho.wrver, I .found several- hundred persons already assembled to treat with me. I perceived that they were all Yankees. " Well, my frend," said I, accosting one -of them "what lyou take for your soul !" "6 What are you going to do with it I" enquired he. -. - I want it to o to hell in my place:' I relied. "In thpt case,i d t the Yankee, "it wil not be a smallli, which will persuade mi to sell it. Who calculate the worth o an immortal soul t is moreirecious that much ointment ? sweet spices-the bles sed Saviour die deem it-It is destine< to joy in heaven pain in bell eternal-1 will not take 1 an ten dollars in speci for my soul" " Very welt- d i, "I will: give it tc you, though I amr no.means sure that I am not paying tt :than its value. The above larve as a specimen o1 my purchases. on bought the twenty Qve, at prices v*$ 'g from-two to ten dol. lars, as the fear o vanice of the seller pre dominated. To the. last, as the com. pany perceived ,;my number was-nearly made up, great. mpetition was excited, and of coursq . a fell exceedingly. I could then'have *ht as many as I pleas. ed for next ta5; rig., Those who had not sold, went a bitterly bewailing their disappointmenL' After paying' each man his money,,I locked up my ne rchases in a safe room, telling them that 'threb days I would de. liver them to the iL. There they remain ed, very busily in swapping clothes and trading with other; and f was in; formed that by : there was not a single one of them who d not' made at least six dollars by his " lations. The Devil retqed punctual to the time. I now met himuwithout fear, and producing my twenty;five substitutes, demanded .a re ceipt in full. " Mr. Trevor, 4aid he, looking scornful and offended, W*I~bad a better opinion of you than to suppose-that you would attempt to cheat me in this shameful manner. 'Do you think to jla my debt to me in. that which is my ow roperty I This is the same as if you ow~d your neighbor. twenty. live cattle, and we'e to go into his field and take beasts witl 1Jis brand on them, and offer them to lir' .payment. These men ill have my mark?6poui them. And besides, to put the mattoiion another ground, this is no compliance with, my offer, for these crea tures have no soul. I will show you. The Devil, ij Sto be understood, is a onderfully skil1U hemist, and knows- how ;o analyze all snftiances, whether material >r spiritual. Iniafew minutes he erected a urnace, seized oBeOof the Yankees, and dis-. engaged from the 'dy that which in these nimals supplies e place of a soul. It tood up before a thing utterly strange nd undescribablb He put it into a large rucible, reduced o a fluid mass, and then ypocrisy . 125 'varice 125 alsehood 125 >neakingness 125 aiameless and numberless small vices 140 Csence of Onions, New England rum, Molasses, and Cod Fish 235 1000 " There," said the Devil, holding it up, do you call that thing a soul ?" Now, if there is any body in the world, n Purgatory, or in the Lower Regions per ectly- acquainted with the Yankee, from reat familiarity and intimacy, it is the De ril himself. So the foregoing must stand for what we mean by Yankee, when speaking f the tribe indiscriminately. This same Mr. Trrevor describes his jour. ~ey down to the Infernal Regions with great pirit and minuteness, thus: I and Kalouf were traveling rapidly down Lts stee~p declivity, having already proceeded nany miles, when suddienly we heard behind s a prodigious clatter. -It was caused by the ghost of a Yankee pedlar, who was ourneying to the other . Wvorld, with his cart f tin ware and other notions. The ghost >vertook us, and showed himself to be fully s impudent and inquisitive as if he were still alive.. He immediately set to wrork to find out who [ was and where I came from. "Trhis is sorter a slantindickler 'road, stranger, by gauly ;" said he. "Yes, rather so." " I guess, Mr. you've come a long way I" "Not very many hundred miles." "I expect, may be, you're from the North I" '"No, I am not." "Did you come by the Paint Mountain, or over the Ohio River I" " Neither." "fIlogs and beef cattle sell. tolerable low ow, I guess I" (to ascertain whether I was a Western man.) " I think it quite probable." " I suppose, Mr., you've had a good cot. ton crop this year t" -" I understand that the crop was abundant in Carolina and Georgia." " I reckon, may be, they raise tobacco in the* parts you come from I" (thinking to track me to Virginia.) " They are fond of tobacco there." " I guess, strangers," continued the Yan kee, "you haven't none of you never been in this country we're goin to, before, have yout I'd like to know what kind of a place 'tis for tradin, down there. You see, about two hours ago, old Mr. Death come for mie, He tuk me by sich a surprise I hadn't much time to git i'eady. But as I was jist then about startin out on a pedlin trip, I thought as I was obleeged to come any how, I might as well try if I couldn't make something on the road. So I gathered Into my cart some beads .and nutmegs and tin cups and other notions. I calculate I'll make a preetty tolerable considerable speck on what I've got along. You don't know how much a piece tin cups fetohes in these parts, doe. you I" I perceived, meanwhile, that the Yankee continually kept his eyes down on the road over which we wore passing, and industri ously and minutely examined the numerow marks olts surface. I inquired the reason, " Why," said he, "there's old Nehemiat Pettibones, he's been owin mue a ninepence for about eighteen -years. I reckon I'VE sked hm. for that nmnence a thousand I times.. And do you think the hateful sarpent i' didn't push off at last without paying it! r He-died 'about. two hours afore. me. I'm i looking'to see if-I.can't find-his track. He'll . have to. git' into .a tarnation. hot place, but .who I'll have that ninepence yet, some how? Traveling thus in .companiy with the Yan. kee, at length we reached the river Styx. There was old Charon, with his boat ready to take'is across. He demanded 124' cis., from each-.of"us for ferryage. The Yankee in vaid higgled, nearly half an hour,: endea. voring to get him to take a ten cent piece. In crossing the river, 'the pedlar employed his time .making a comb,.of, the shell of a turtle caught in the water, which he palmed off upon an -old maid who had died of dis appointed love, on reaching the opposite bank, as a genuine tortoise-hell. Proceeding into the interio , we presently reached the judgement seat lhadamanthus, where sentence is passed upon all who arrive in the infernal dominions.. The court was sitting, and business seemed to be. carried on with wonderful despatch-the "cases of a multitude of ghosts having been already dis posed- of that morning. Soon we heard one of the constables call out, "Virgil Hoskins! Virgil Hoskins !" " Here," ' answered our companion, the Yankee pedlar, quaking up to the bar. Rhadamanthus- seated with a great number of huge account books before him. " Virgil Hoskinsis your name, is it I" said he. " Here it is, among the Hs, page. 49,358. Ah, Virgil! there's a Terribly long" account against you. Let's see a few of the charges." (reads) VIRGIL HosKINs, DR. June 27, 18-, To selling, in the course of one peddling expedition,.497,368 wooden nutmegs, 281,532 Spanish cigars made of oak leaves, and 647 wooden clocks. What do you say to that charge Hoskins? Hoskins.- Why, that was counted in our place about the greatest peddlia trip that ever was made over the Potomac. Rhadamanthus reads: June 29, 18-, To stealing an old grindstone, smearing it over with' butter, and then selling it as a cheese. Hoskins, in great surprise. Jimminy ! surely. you wouldn't punish a.man for that; would you I' Rhadamanthus reads : December 13,' 1780, To making a counterfeit dollar of pewter, when you were six years old, and cheating your own father with it.. Hoskins. Daddy was mighty glad when he found it out. He said it shewed I had,a genus. Rhadamanthus reads: July 2, 18-, To lady sE6eig actuall the alio' of Saint Paul. Hoskins, with exultation. I made four dollars and twelve and a half cents by that. Rhadamanthus reads : July 2, 18-, To taking an empty old watch case, putting a live cricket into it, and ften selling it- as a patent lever in full motion. Hoskins. He, he, he,-that was one of the cutest tricks I ever played in all my life. Rhadamanthus. It would occupy me a week, Hoskins; to go through all the char. ges against you. These few are sufficient. I really am getting entirely.out of patience with New England, for it gives me more trouble than all the rest of the world put together. You are sentenced to be thrown into a lake of boiling molasses, where nearly all your countrymen already are, with that same grindstone tied to your neck, and to remain there forever. From the Richmond (Vs.) Whig, July 24. THE POLITICAb CRISIS. W'e publish a full account of the proce. dings in Philadelphia growing out of the kidnapping of Mr. Wheeler's servants. AWhen we read such accounts we confess to a decided disinclination to live longer in partnership with such villains. If the Amer ican party, which we hoped and believed possessed a charm of nationality to stifle this sort of feeling, proves unequal to the task, we are prepared to join with the Char-, leston Mercury and go for a 'Southern par. ty," and for nothing else, henceforth and forever. It is clear the national democracy, is it styles itself, is a humbug, or something worse. The leaders cracked up Pierce as the most dexterous "nigger catcher". on' the continent, and they assured' us that if he was elected the abolitionists would be annihila ted; and yet, since' his apeession, more gross outrages have been perpetrated than occurred in all our previous annals. And now these same men, wvho. ensnared us with 'Pierce, are engaged in a subtle game to deliver us from all our troubles, present and prospec tive,.by handing us over to Seward and Van Buren. They are prepared, no doubt, soon er than abandon the federal spoils, to de monstrate that Seward .is the :man of all others to save the South. Possibly they may be right-ertainly he could prove' ,no worse than the New Hampshire champion. Buty for our parts, we have been cheated often enough; and, if the American party fails to hold out a fair prospect for conservative success, we are for-cutting loose forthwith from Yankee. dom, with all its cant and hypocrisy, its pious pretensions and knavish practiges. We wish to have no intercourse; no deal. ings, commercial, political or social, with yeople who teach their, children that they cannot perform .a more mentorious action than to rob us of our property. It is' true their organs (the Tribune and Times, of New York,) give us to understand that the same code of morals which allowwr theft, and the same social system wVhich confounds vice and virtue, engender a world of merce nary dough 'faces, ready and impatient to be bought-and that we have only to go into market to command any' -number we wish.. But we don't' want them. on such terms; We would not have a negro- as a gift, in whom no trust could be repose and a vendible Yankee is far les-trustwor ty-for to equal knavery he adds superior wit.: Whatever may be the evils of dissolv ing politioal ties with such people, the dis eredt and demoralization~attending the con nction are quite -s grreat. The circumstances 'attending this case .o robbery are aggravated by the fact-that the negroes' were seized and carried 'off 'contra. ry to their wishes-against their cries, strug. gles, kickings .and' protestations. They seemed to have a presentment of the kind. ness in store for them. If not already sold in Baltimore- i trick these disinterested philanthropists are somewhat given to-they are removed from a kind master and assured plenty,-and may die of want in a few years. But this aggravating fact-may .lead to -goed results in one respect. It has entangled the chief ruffian in the meshes -of -the law, and by false swearing to extricate, himself, has involved himself more deeply. If a court or jury can be found in Philadelphia. to admin ister justice, he' will certainly realise the in door comforts of a public workhouse. B't it'must be borne in mind that he will not-be punished for the wrong done to a citizen of North Carolina in stealing his property-but for the violence to the subject of the theft, and the false swearing of the rogue. From the Barnwell Sentinel. JOIN JOLLIFFE AT HOME.. This disinguished gentleman, ..of.whom so much has already been said and written, 'has arrived in Cincinnati, .and' for the grati. fication of a majority of our readers; we give place to his letter,:addressed to .the editors of the Cincinnati' Gazette, who.will, we presutre, have much to say on the sub. ject hereafter. 4elieving it a duty we owe ouir readers, to keep them. posted up on all matters, is our reason for giving place to this boasting abolitionist's epistle; and from the fact that many have not had an oppor. tunity of seeing it. We. trust, however, in doing so, to wound the feeling of no one, not even Jolliffe; 'but this paper is published for the benefit of its readers, and we hesi tate not to lay 'this very flauering letter be. fore them, and in doing so are performing that which we deem. our. right and duty. Such lettersa' will do well enough for-Ohio newspapers to publish, and abalitionists to crow over, he having led his friends in that dark region to suppose that so fat from his being molested here, he was called by sever= al gentlemen and treated with marked 'civil ty and respect, even. after he had said to them, to use his own words: "I am an'abo= litionist to the. very core. of my' heart." Such letters we say, will do for Ohio aboli tionist to crow over-he was not molested, but actually welcomed into our midst, yea, patted on the back. .Well done, good and faithful Jollif'e. You have done your duty; that which few of your Ohio brethren would have undertaken ; but the dal may not be your'persoual attention in our midst; if so, come on, we are not Hindoos, Turks nor Barbarians, as the National Era would have us, we only insibted on a neat coat of " tar and feathers" and that you should be rode out of the village on a rail, so soon as you landed amongst us, for we are a people who detest abolitionists' as we do the Devil. You, John Jollif'e, have misre presented us, if you say you were called on by gentlemen and treated with civility and respect, after you had said you, were an abolitionist. It is true, you were called on-by gentlemen, and their business was to inform you that you must leave, so soon as you finished your business, which you took good care 'to do. Had you remained here as long as you did in Williston, you would have less cause to boast. Now, this is the first. time we have heard that he was called on by gentlemen and treated with such marked civility and respect, and wve are liilined to think, 'had 'he not left as soon as he did, he would'-have been treated in a manner he could not, have taken such pride in boasting of.' We are inform. ed- that Mr. Mixson locked the door of the room, spoken of; Mr .Jollife, has written the editors of the Gizzeute that "he locked the door on -Capt. Walker and Mr. John M~ixon, anid that the latter gentlemen seemed a liutle alarmed." We were not present, and as to this part of his letter,'can say nothing.' Jolliffe has endeavored to make it appear that we are all a clever set of abolitionists, that wve did not molest but' actually cared for and respected him. It is. true, .many persons were in favor of sending you where you catme from, but from sympathy alone, you were allowed a few short hours amongst us, and thus escaped the coat and rail.
