The Situation.
TLo situait n of military mattors in South
Carolina is wrnppcd in mystery imponctrublo to
th? kon of Human experience. Knowing not&.
in j, anil b>ing nMe to learn nothing reliable, it
i? vain for ai to attempt tn tell anything concern
ing thc affair. Wo will not repeat the thousand
rumors that reach our ears. Suffice it to cay that
Sherman, with his wholo army, is in thc heart of
South Catalina; and the universal opinion in
those parts, ig thu ho is mirchirg upon Colom
bia or Kingsville Our own. opinion is that,
unlors he retraes his 6tcp?, tho dey of bi? dis
confiture is near at band.

Troublous Times iu Edgeitcld.
During thU war, we people of ETdgeficld havo
. had, compared to hundreds of other places in tho
Confederacy, a very calm and ploasant wnlk on
tba highway of lifo. And our walk is still com
paratively calm and pleasant How long it will
remain so, God only know* ! Lately however, wc
have been wandering in wot .ind slippery road?,
in bed times and wiutrv weather. For /our days,
our wh-ilo population rr:-s in hourly expectation
of heine pounced upon bj a pick of howling,
ravoning, bloodthirsty wolves-of being nt at;y
moment, night ?r day, gnashed, g?awoJ, crashed,
and gobbled up, in tho most merciless and fero
cious manner.- Women imagined all sorts of bat
tle, murder aud sudden death. Children h dd
" Raw Hoad and Bloody Bones" ever before their
oyo?. Mira of. large property were green and
follow, and grinned with horrible agony. But
let us n?rrate facts. Earlv on Thursday morning
Inst, it was announced among us that a largo and
formidable body of Yankon cavalry, undor KIL
PATRICK, had catered Aiken during tho provious
night. Refugees and straggling soldiers, passing
through from below, contirm-id this rumor, and
ailed thai EtXPlxniCK was pressing oa to Oran
geville .md VuucJado and would no doubt devas
tate thc wholo country. Tho Snpp?rting Forco
of Edgo?oid District being ia camp near the vil
lage, our vigilant. energetic Enrolling Officer,
Lieut. aiosss, itnmtdii.te*ly choue from that body
a number of brave und well mounted men^and
departed'with ifconi t'>?:*-.:??< Atv-r., intending to
c?tal.liih a tina ?T couriers V-ctv-.-tn that piece
and Edgofivld ; ibi". fa? did, i*;:d to him -.u i then
tho community is not a little indebted.
Al.. ut noon on Thursday, some half doren sol
diers from WaEKl.EB's command, ia charge ?f
150 or -?? broken down cavalry hoTses, chtorcd
ourtown-horses.and'an. On tho approach of
l : . Y;-:thces, they had quitted a recruiting cum;
on tho S. C. Raiirfad, and were taking their
horses up the;country. They reported no Yan
kees in Aiken, but a large loree twelve miles bc
!ovr. 5n?e o' liare r.ud bony ehevettti de latutilt

Exeunt Peace Rumors ?
Thc little private unofficial prelun?tiery talk
about peace, between our Coicmissi?pcrs on thc
one 6?1I0, and Lincoln and Seward o ii, tho otner,
waa " short sharp and decisive." Th?s, as w-? all
knew,-ia. tho amiable Premier's wjiy of doing
business; vide the " ?hort, ?harp" and dgeisire"
crushing out of the rebellion ! Everybody knew*
(he remit of-thia preliminary tali; and who
hoped fur anything better from pseplj?. who bare
ever boen io false and treacherous int their tell
ings with us? Butthofe is no har? des* ; en
the contrary, good. Wo have liiferlid to the?
and got their cue. They only oame~|lo iniult us
with atlvieo lo lay down our ?rms ajld submit to
our Malters. Old Blair; wily old jack, came to
Richmond to accomplish something ti the advan
tage of the Eederal Government, bul, if we mis
take not hil fool's errand has resulted in vast
good to the. Confederate cause. For are not thou

what they have to-expeot from our bfemiei ?

Edgefield Female College.
One of the most advantageous and: attractive
features of Edgefield in those days, ? is thc large
and flourishing Female College, conducted hy
the Bov. MARI CN SAMS. Mr. SAMS is a polished
gentloinan, a thorough eoholar, ?./jery zei!ous
teacher, and.a most successful educator. Oue
hundred pupils n?w attend this institution. The
most determined and untiring efforts' of Mr. SAUS
arc bent towards the elevation of the/standard of
femalo education.' Ile is assisted by competent
and accomplit-lied teachers of both sexes. The
character of the school, together with tho rate?
of board and tuition, the healthiness of thc cli
mate, w i tho comparative quiet of our town (not
very quiet just at prosent, to be sura'} but always
has been in the past, and will be in the future,)
rondcrs this a most desirable institution for the
oducation of girls and young ladies. Where a
young lady has passed through this ?ollogo and
received tho Principal's certificate, they rrill be
prepared, in a literary and scienti?fc lotto, for

The retirement of General James Jon"*
from his position as Chairman o: lue Board
of Visitors of the Military'Academy of South
Carolina, is an event, which at.any other
time than the present, would have edited
one universal exprceaiou of regret from the
.country and the press. Only to the s.axie
ti"3 of the hour can the comparative silence
with which.his r^icna'-on bas beon receiver!,
be attributc-d j for among the many m this
cdmrannity interested in the cause of educ ;
tion,'there is doubtless not ono who h?.s n<-t
heard with profound concern that General
Jones has withdrawn from that' small but
important body, over which he has so loug and
sj ably presided. Identified as he is with
the admirable institution in question-enti
tled,, per haps, more than any one else, tobo
regarded as its founder-gray with more than
twenty years of services devoted to the pro
motion in every possible way of its interests
-it is very generally .felt that in parting
with him, that institution sustains a loss
which, withont ?ho greatest difficulty, will
not soon be supplied. That feeling of pa
ternity which he had a right to cherish to-i
wards the school which he had created and
fostered, and which helped to make him at
once so tender and so wise io tho car . which
h<* lavished upon it, cannot bs soared byjmy
successor} and, therefore, we do no wrong to
the gentleman who shall hereafter occupy
bi? p'neo, if we aay that however ably they
may discharge the duties of the office in their
turn, lhere will alwa\> ho reason to regret
that General Jones could not have beea in
.iuced to ra:air? that odioe as one ID which he
was entitled for life.-South Carolinian.
Public Meeting in Uichmoud.
In pursuance of a call of Gov. Smith aa

to the aid of Almighty God, we rom:W our
rcrolve to maintain our liberties and our in

pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sa
cred honors."
President Davis addressed the meeting for
?he s>pace of thirty minute?, lie said that he
was rojpiccd to witness this demonstration,
mid expressed hi? belief that rf the people
would give their hrarty ami unanimous re
