RICHLAND BEACON JWILEY P. MAIGHAM, - - Editer. B. B. BAlTD, As~oei :to Elitor & Publish^r OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF RICHLAND. Raville, L... April 4, 1874. The Flood in Alabama. The Greenville (AI:,) ldroeotele re lports nearly all the bridges in ultler C'ounty washed away by tde recent heavy rains, and considerable dauumage done to fences, roads, farms etc. Speaking of the flood in Monroe County, the .Jurnal, published at Monrocville, Ala., says: The rain which fi.ll throughout this country on Sunday and monday last, is suppoesed to have Ibeen the greatest since the Lincoln Flood. At this place. the rain conmmenced to fall |teadily about I o'lock p. M. on Sun- ' day, and continued with scarcely any abatemaent, for albout thirty hour. Every creek, pond. and hollow was tilled to overflowing, and the whole face of the country for a time, looked like a va-t sheet of water. A great amount of deamage has been done by the sweeping off of fences, and the washing of plowed land on the bills and along the water courses. Nearly all the bridges are damaged and some entirely gone. IBroughton's, and Fore's bridges are said to be so much damaged that crossing cannot be done utltil repairs are made. The Alabama laiver is very high, and we expect to hear of much dao from the high water. -- " .. . - ANOTitER CR'sADEP.-A correspon dent of the Selma Times, proposes an other crusade, as thus: St--it is time for the men to do something, and I earnestly appeal to all husbands, fathers, and lovers to join themselves together in a moral crusade against millenery stores and dressmakers shops. Let the men as semble in these establishments, or, where admittance is denied, upon the sidewalks in front, and appeal pathet ically and aloud and with tears and sobs to the proprietors to abandon their dens of fashion, since their trade causes an amount of moral and finan cial ruin which cannot easily be ap preciated, and which it is our duty to bring to a sudden end. Yours for the cause ALPhA. -- -.0.4~ -__ A GaAaUs lIBuEAu.-The Execu tive Comniittee of the National (Irange of Patrons of Husbandry is maturing a plan for the formation of a statistical bureau for the collection and dissemination "of information in regard to the condition of the crops throughout the country. The new bureau will be located at, Washington, D. C., and in charge of D. W. Aiken, Secretary of the State Grange of South Carolina.-Subordinate Grang es will report direct to the state Grange all information of interest re lating to the crops, and the different State Granges will report by tele graph to the Statistical Bureau of the Order at Washington. Thb* bureau will compile and summarize these re pIorts into a monthly report of the crops in all sections of the country, and will simultaneously transmit the report by telegraph monthly to all State Granges, which in turn will fur nish it to every sulordiuate Grange within its jurisdiction. This infor nnation will not li furnished to the press for publication, it being intend ed exclusively for the benefit of meu bera of the Order. SUAsonAt.E l)lIt.L roR YIOLUq Turs.-Fall in !

We are always glad to shake hands with a friend, wi: n in a strange land. And if a man is nit in a strange land here, he is among strangers These Spring : are becoming known all over the Unit ed States, and farther. No one can descrilw the merits of their waters, on ly by sight. Then he can only point to a few cas~es, out of the vast lmulti tude. We have seventten liotel,. and all of tiwm are fast tilling up. Where the people are to stay this suttumns.r, if they continue to coniw. as they have for a mionuth, we ceannot tell. Bli ind can he obtained from $35 to $90 per month in the Hotels, and $25 in pri vate families. There is a great want of a Rail Road from Malvhern (the l)e pot on the Cario and Fulton Ii. Il. where you get off) to this place. Passengers now have to lie over one, and often two days, before they can get a seat in the stage for Hot Springs. I would advise all, who contcmp!ate visiting the Springs, to buy a ticket only to MIalrern, and then you have the chance of getting another convey ance to this place, beside the slale. The road, of course, is bad, where there ;s so much traveling over it - You may be a stranger to a person, when you leave the alia Road, but when you are "thrown together" so much, as passenger in the stages are. you are very well acquainted ere you reach the sight of the mountains. But, when once here, you are safe. The Physicians are first class, and all a nan has to do, is to follow their di rectinns, and he will soon see and feel the effects of the IHot water. The Hlotels are well kept I can recom mend the Sumnpter House and Earl hIo-ce as being first class Hotels, at which lo,,ard can ibe obtained for $50 per month. Your Friend, I. Z. T. M1uans. Sketches, From a College Port Folio. SANC ' LITELRATURE. I ,The glories of classic (;rece are still admired, though they have lung since departed from h.r shores. - The remembrance of that land which cherished the arts, will live in the generous heart, and the inspirtions of hher genius will remain when the proudest material structures have de Scaved. WYjile the leaves of Autumn I for a hundred generations have passed away, with the Pharanbs and Ptolcm f ies, the Caesars and Caliphs, the pyra m'ids of Egyr* have stood unshaken above the floods of the Nile. They too must crumble at the touch of time, and every vestage of ancient power he swept away. But the structure of Grecian literature shall remain, and, while generous feelings inhabit the scholar's bosom, shall prompt him to gloriots emulation. In the study of ancient literature, 'twe meet with an exuberance of fancy, Sand in their poetry we find an aspira _tion which is wholly their own. It is to the modern scholar like unfo!ling a new page of nature. Fancy then threw her mantle over nature's w,rks, and smailed at her own new creation. With an imagination and sensibility which had rrot yet been subtjected to Sthe dominion of reason, atnd with a language' which, though copious, - flexible, and expressive,employed met aphor. action, and impassioned tones, as necessary instruments of communi cating thought, the ancients spoke and alung. Every object of sense, to such a Spetple, was alive with action and Sfeeling, and it was but one simnplCnd natural act of the imagination t"i state them into pereanent existae hence their rural and sylvan which sported on every hill si lingered in every forest of Greece. Cytherea, with her graces, Sled the dance along the flowery fields. Diana, on the mountain tops, while nymph clad in their dewy garbs,sport ed mid spacious glades of grandeur and repose. Adonis followed far in the boisterous chase, and fawns an.I dryards reclined in summer bowers, to listen to the liquid piping of the reed. The voices of hbeavenly spirits r rose from every murmuring forest, Swhilst the mountain god walked in majestic loneliness. An ethereal ewas seen to atinmate every grove; beautiful beings were bid to preside over every gushing stream. Fancy gave a mystic origin even to her rir ers, her mountains, and her cities. IThebes was i-girt by the magic muse of Atophion-IDelos sailed along the SEgean sea, with its sacred freight, to shun the eye of a jealous deity the tremblifg Olympus shook the gods ia conneil on their highest seat, "whilst vivivid lightoing which fashed m itsi umnit was thought to have been hammeru-d out in the workshops oftheCdJo n BLuch were the imt Saginary lnos given to natsure: r facy threw her vel over every object, SgIlbtg birth to naeu hered traditions, ow etrs ng everywhwhrl Eleysian lowes; wahilst this belief of supernat oral i~prsee, reseting on the imagi nation, gave it a richness approaheb. iag to inspiration. The poetry of a nation is loo t the expression of their loftiest fedihgs, and of their most ele vated sad reuned conceptions. Hence there is nothing with which it I is aore intimately connected, than r. with their religioa. This is espeeially true of the ancients. Their divinities I were ereetores of their owe Imagine -t tion, sad their laloeace wasu strongly r exerted in exeitimg and tring empe to Sthe iaspiratious of th bard: Thus · thea stre of their theology goes far i to explain that of their literatore, h Tlbe fekrtility of imaginathA !w ichou on e nery mountain some saced deity, which sanctified every; marble image, also ruled the caimtp and the battle fields The warrior, decked out in crested helmet, became the poet's theme, who, breathing upo him inspired paeans, animated him t fight for his gods and for his fairy land. Such a literature te:tded ! strongly to cherish a spirit of liberty. AImong the ancients love of country i was as sacred as their religion; it was . implanted in their bosoms so soon as n they could lisp the name of father, and . the glory which attened martial at chievements,and the eulogies bestow _ ed by their poets on him who had d bravely resisttd oppression, excited -, them to freedom. Animated by tri if umplhant songs, by the sacred images e of their fathers, and by the delihrhts ,i oftheir own dear native land, they r drove invasion front their shores. . Their literature painted in glowing t colors the value of liberty, and told e- them to preserve it unimpaired. Thse were the days of her glory; _ and Greece, from the elevation of her , arts, intelligence and freedom, looked abroad on a world of barbarians. Those days soon rolled away-the Le fairies that charmed, charmed no long t er; truth kindled her torch at the al -e tar of fiction, and her rays dispelled the nymphs from their fancied posses s- ions. Fancy withdrew her veil, and re her images retreated down the dark _vista where the rays of truth could n, not enter. The fair plains of Greece were no longer alive with imaginary o deities; the harp that bade the warri e. or smile, and taught the maid to weep, w hung mouldering beneath the altar of some favored deity, and the envious . ivy muffled with its verdure every i11 string. With the fall of ancient liter Ii. ature, the dark curtain of ignorance d was drawn over Europe. The litera 1e ture of the ancients fluttered long on n. the horizon's edge, like lights last lin rl gering when the day was gone-but at it sunk, and left the world in darkness. ;o That night of ignorance and supersti tion which for centuries enveloped the world, came at the decline of lit-; erature, and fled from the brightness of its rising. Italy was styled the garden of the world-the fairies that had dwelt around the glories of lias-. sic Greece, had taken up their abode beneath the influence of an Italian re sun. The frolic ring was again form ig ed upon the verdant turf; the sportive - maiden was seen to trip with natural elegance through the Italian fields. During these ages knowledge ceas ed to shine upon the nations, but its e beams were not quenched. It was n concealed from the view of men, but had not departed from the world. In the works of ancient genius it slept Ssecure as in some indestructible n- abode, and wanted but for its lodg ment to be examined that it might un y veil the nations from their darkness. e, The literature of the ancients became e known to modern Europe, and the d scene changed among the mountain Sscenery of his native land. e D3occachio sung its former greatness to -"Dante dipped his pen in the living springs of Helicon." Nor was Eng e, land behind in the march of genius. Our own Chaucer uoppked the tress ures of the feeling mind, and the di is vine Milton called his age onward to ig intelligence, while he cherished an in telligence, while he cherished an inspi ration which spread a magnificence y passing nature before his slightest vis ion. Such was its effect upon mod to er nations. The spirit of ancient lit erature had forsaken the shores of 's Greece, but she still spoke to other! lands, and intelligenee responded to her voice. The works of Homer, Demosthenes and PiJto, though they found no kindred in their native clime, were welcomed by a. gers, and, like sea-shells exiled I.. their ocen caves, still murmored to 1he music of 'native abode. do they otter no sound that is hea in their birth-place ? Is the y song mute forever? Does it even to echo to the voice of pel No! A new epoch has come.' SThe star of science has again appear i ed in the horizon, and the voic of lib r erty has again burst forth from the silence of agtes. It dispels the fears of the timid, sad animates the courage l of the proud. Yes, thou renowoned Greece shall yet stretch forth thy arms in triumi b. The aged warrior i wholeaves the religion of his fire , side-themaiden wbo wipes the as cred I,:ood from a lover's brow-the ad mother who biods up the woounds of an only son, are now hastening this event. The finger of an overruling Providence is directing its accomplisb meat. The glories oftl y mountains, valleys and skies, shall le again Ssung; the music of tby forest shall be he again listened to, and thy dew-breath o ing zephyrs shall sigh no more on he heard. The muses shall return to thy in fountains, and inspiration to thy hills and rivers. Thy sons shall assume Stheir ancient majesty: th) daughters re the grace and dignity unknown to thy former bards, and thou be living Greece once mnore. t The farmers of Illinois appear to , be assumning a political organizatiou a preparatory to the fall campaign. In t- three Congressional districts of the i- State conventions have been called bh for the p:lrlpose of nominating furmers' a eadidates for Congress, and it is ir thought tb:ht similar action will be e taken throughout the State.

Anmong the persons living on this mountain - are Mr.COamIn, .loh-ton Elliot. No,alh Elliot, l- Widlow Nan'cy, George Mlorgan, Jamoes Gil P, hern. and others. From the statements of all of these parties and of iperhalps lilfy others tihe s mountain was actually shaking. The mov ing was as if the en.ltre mounltan was giA ing ry away. The table ware and the furniture in f r tihe house all rocked and jolted with frightfIn if i oe orce. It is said that the cattle have hI ecome i '.. alarmetd, and have wandlered Frm their ius, Satl range. Stuch was the alarm that at amlulmt St-elve ockmlik on the night ormthe 22i1 ultinm,.

Very sooll th terrible quaking of the e mit-mounltain was such that tie great crowd as t sembled engaged in prayer. At daybreak on s Monday morning, G-eorge Logan, a n:egro be Baptist preaelher, was sent for in great hast* ae at and so itmpatient were they for his arrival that Lq. a portion of the crowd imet him on thie road.

Lumby.a Methltlist minister in charge IS- of Broad River Miseion. was importuned to at Its tend and preach, and promptly complied with d as the request From an eye-wmtness the scenes iL are described as most strange and extraordl a nary. Thle people came flocking in crowdsof n fifteen and twenty includmig men, women. pt and children, all in the most state of fear, dties tie pair and penitence. On the dlay M1r.1Lnmby . preached the mouse was literally packed, the pieaeher barely having room to stand. So great was tihe rush to hear that many g" rushed np the side of the walls amt crowded ie on the joists above. (t..'e a portion of the be upper story having a fit, " and many not be in ing able to enter tle house. they crowded their heads in the .nor and all around the house manifesti-" thie most intense interest. ss When the call was made for mourners the Mg people rushed from all parts of the house and g from the outside, with ahnmost frantic yells,and I. fell upon the floor and upon each other all L* pying anid sapplilcating in the most heartfeltt and agonizing mnanner. These exercises con d". tinned incessantly for sixteen dlays and nights r to with but little ia:ermission. During this time i the people all lived in ulonommon No at ,i- tention was given to labor or iroperty.

Aboi.t one hundred have made profes- i of sion of religion. The closing scenes of this a strange meeting are represented as most pecu liar and wonderful. During most of this pe to riod of sixteen dlays tihe mountain had con tr, tinued at intervals to present the same alarm q ing impressions. Having prayed, shouted, and sung fhohis long perioxl, the people sep e arated with the promnlilse that all would re Id, main and die if necessary.
