A telegram to the "News and Courier"
froiu Orangeburg reports the killing of
a soldier belonging to the garrison; by a
Capt. Gallaher, on the 2d. This is a
cruel hoax on our friends, and a vilo
slander on our town. "Wo have no gar
rison fortunately'at this place.
DEATH OF HON. J. L, ORR.
The subject of this melancholy notice
died on the 6th, at St. Petersburg, Rus
sia, where he had been sent to represent
the United States Government. The de
cided abilities of this prominent leader,
whether as the champion of Southern
rights, or tho supporter of a Northern
tyranny, are too familiar for rehearsal
here. His career is closed and over
the acts of his life, we cast the veil with
out comment.
THE ROAD TO PERDITION.
Is paved with good resolutions, and
South Carolina financially reviewed, is
bolting toward that goal at railroad
speed. The radical defenso in covering
its shame said, tho white people of the
^ State were willfully blind to the light of
reason, and deaf to the argument of stub
born facts, evolved from an irresistablc
? force of progressive Liberty. Prccon
viewed notions, and wounded pride were
contesting against enlarged views, which
sooner or later would overwhelm all op
position, and convert the fiercest enemies
to a friendly recognition. Such sophis
try pleased the ear of the world, and the
new departure was hailed as the political
martyr. A very brief review will bring
us to the conclusion, (if any arc mad
enough to defend the policy of the ene
mies of honeBty and peace) that the rot
tenest hulk, with the most drunucn pilot;
is aB much entitled to confidence, ns is
this dynasty of perjured, faithless and
soulless government. Its promises arc as
voluminous, as its villainies are glaring.
The first breach of faith began with the
birth of flip party in the State. Thanks
be to God, the conception was elsewhere;
Pestilence when brought upon same un
toward wind is dread, but when the nt
mosphere is purged, the cause for danger
is removed. This is our only hope, that
this distinct, peculiar, and wholly segre
gated plague may die out for witnt of
food (money). Stop that supply, and
the scourge vanishes. A desire "to re
deem the honor of the State, and educate
her citizens," induced these philanthro
pists ?o rate an assessment, and afterward
increase it three fold, after a plan of
stealage called "Equalization." The tax
was paid, and Mantalini picked up tho
gold and sil ver, and the deficiency went
into the "sinking fund." Military bills
to show up the many lined ''hen) of Fort
Suovtcr," were created, and the appropri
ation for these, went in the wako of the
precedents. "Land purchasing bureaus"
robbed the (State of hundreds of thousand*
and made, autocrats of beggars. The
legislature was an auction honte, where
every bill had its figures. Stute bonds
wer?; surreptitiously sold by tho officers of
tbo State at ono half their face valuation
to*.raise money for themselves. In a
word, South Carolina, its property and
all (except, its sons who were, neither to
be bought nor hoodwinked) was tossed
into tho political hopper, aud the meal
was qucitly taken as tell, while tho husk
was left for tho owners. Now we have a
?ug\v tax to pay outs'niiditig State debts,
and a new call is made for logal talent to
fin.vo us fonin robbery. It may bu worth
the attempt, but wo are credulous;?
Argue to tho Sphynx, or preach meta
physics to a pump, and you will affect
about as much, as attempting to influence
a radical Court Supremo or otherwise,
by talking about injustice, or debating
questions Of equity. Adopt if it can bo
done s?mo plan to check this flow of
money into their pockets, / and you will
be as freo of radical rulers in a month,
as (Hibernia is said to be) of snakes. '
THE INDIAN POLICY.
The huo and cry is extermination, for
what; Is it that the lifo Of the unfortu
nate Gen. Canby is worth morojthan the
entire race of Modocs, men, Women and
children. If so; what has made the ex
istence of the Indian so contemptible, and
tho value of n solitary white mau so ap
preciated. Gen. Sherman face to fhee
with red Jack, unless backed by the
steel wall which has always made him as
bold as he has been cruel, may have set
his teeth fast, ere he had dared to speak
the .death knoll of tho Indian race. . If
prudenco would have suggested this
much for his personal safety, should not
mercy have tempered his ire of justice.
The act of the Indinn Chief was base aud
treacherous, but review tho uase and
treacherous, policy of the government
which was represented in Gen. Canby,
and say if the uncivilized American saw
aught to admire, in the tinselled type of
the civilized American. The worm
will sting the foot that presses it, and
red Jack counting the cost, made the
fearful issue. Back, back, before the
steady tramp of "Westward ho" he fell,
no hunting grounds for his living, no
resting place for his dead. Enlighten
ment to him was administered through
the rum bottle, civilization taught. him
that from behind a crevice of the rock,
he could hurl a bullet to the brain of his
betrayer. His bounty was doled out in
beads aud poisoned whiskey, his soul was
preached to on one side by the missiona
ry revealing an accountability, and on
the other by a cunning trader who made
the wild Indian, a wilder devil. Per
plexed, deceived, and maddened, he was
not won over, but sank deeper and deep
er under the influence of the tricky white
man, and hurling the lio of defiance to
his teeth, bis wild heroism was aroused,
and be slew both the innocent and the
guilty. Better had the government
measured a modicum of its Southern
policy to the Indian, x. e. counting the
inferior its protege,, then it might
have been spared the disgraco of Sher
man's vindictive howl, and at least have
been consistent hi its former dealings
with its subjects. Here the rule is in
hands' and hearts blacker than the In
dians. Thefo for party sako cruelty will
?bo practised. Treat the Indian as a man
and his savage breast will respond a
kindly throb. Bob him, and degrade
him by putting his scanty subsistence in
the hands of cormorant ruinsclliug agents
and you teach him that neither his, or
the life of such tools of the government
is worth the sparing.

who look with prido upon the past
achievements of their glorious State 1 The
first of May was iudeed a gala day, long
to be remembered, and tho holiday was
heartily enjoyed by tbo hundreds who
assembled to do honor to the gallant
knights. Tho threatening state of the
weather* even, could*, not cast a damper
upon the spirits of those who had deter
mined to enjoy themselves, and any one
looking upon the brilliant array of fair
ladies could seo that the prospect of be
ing crowned tho "Queen of Love and
Beauty" ill a storm, bad no terrors for
them.
Too much praise.cannot be awarded to
Capt. T. A. Jeffords the Courtly Herald
of tho day, through whose untiring efforts
all arrangements for tho occasion had
been perfected, and tho complete success
which crowded those cflbits must have
well rewarded him.
the visitors
Commenced pouring in at an early hour,
from every road leading towards the
town, aud by half-past ten the beautiful
spot selected for the Tournament was
crowded by an array'of fashion and beau
ty, which would do honor to any South
ern city.
? t?e knights
Assembled upon the old parade ground,
and, headed by tue "Chicora Band" from
Charleston, took up the line of inarch to

witnessed, and seldom, equalled in simi
lar displays elsewhere.

Had been erected about the centre of the
grounds, and before it the Knights were
drawn up, to hear the rules for the con

of the course, to "prepare for the coming

of Orange, takiugf.3 rings. Time five
seconds.
This completed the riding,'when the
^nights were assembled before the
fudge's Btand, to receive the rervards,
they had so gallantly now.
Our space will not not permit us to
more than notice the speeches made upon
the presentation of eaeh prize.. We will
be pardoned however for saying, that
to our taste the address of the late Editor
of the Times was the speech of tho day.
The first prize, a beautiful silver cup
was presented by Mr. Mortimer Glover.
The second by j,Capt. Jas. F. Izlar ; the
third by Mr. Jas. S. Hey ward ; the fourth
by Mr. D. F. Jamison ; the fifth by
Capt. J. A. Hamilton, and the sixth and

The Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss.
Sallie Stokes, and the first Maid of Hon
or, Miss Parier, were then escorted upon
the Judges stand, and three rousing
cheers given in their honor. A charac
teristic little speech from the Kight oi
Perseverance, who had escorted the
"Maid of Honor," was heartily enjoyed
by all.
In response to three cheers for the
Press of Orangcburg, Mr. Browning, ot
the "News," made a happy and appro
priatc speech.
Thus, ended the festivities of the morn
ing, which were heartily enjoyed, not
withstanding a heavy shower of rain fell
during the performance.
T thi: BALIi
At bight was a grand success, as all who
participated agree in pronouncing. At
its close regrets were expressed, farewells
were said, and May Day^wbs a thing of
the past.
[for the times.]
HO ! FOR ENTERPRISE.
We know of no town more gifted by
nature or more calculated to repay the
rambler in his search aftfir pleasant views
and quiet spots wherein" to ruminate than
our village, aiid future city, Orangcburg.
In every direction upon the outskirts
of our town, nature's solitude i.5 relieved
by enterprise, both of natives and immi
grants, and new buildings meet the eye
on every hand. Sbme arc dwellings and
some are factories, some foV comfort and
some for money making, some for enjoy
ment and some for employment.
We like to write of these pleasant
things and like to read of there being
elsewhere. To write of them h a task
affording the most pleasure, as their pre
sence amongst us shows that there is in
our m'ulst both ability anil willingness to
afford patronage and encouragement to
domestic, as well as attract foreign enter
prise.
Among these busy spots that lie near
at hand, none can interest one more fully
than tho Shingle Factory of Messrs. Al
drich & Co. An undertaking of recent
birth, possessed of all tho elements re
quisite for permanent success.
The location will repay the rambler,
from its picturesque position on the bank
of the river, while the piles of cypress
blocks, tho busy breath of the steam,
the strokes of saw, and whirring of the
wheels, together with tho methodical
movements of fifton or twenty hands em
ployed in tho works, afford plenty of
thought to feed his mind, and make him
wonder how in so small a space and time
such a quantity of labor cari be accom
plished, and in such unique styles.
The Engiue is of twenty-five horse
power. It runs two saws and a planing
machinoj and turns out 12,000 shingles
per day often working hours.
These shingles are never allowed to
exceed five inches in width, which pre
vents warping or splitting. They are
sawed.of Black cypress, the best material
in the world for the purpose, and which
elsowhoro can only be got at in ponds on
tho highland. Hero it can bo obtained
in the river swamp at spring tides; and
is brought to the * factory in flat-boats,
and at the above rato of consumption it
can furnish.material for eight or ten
yeara.
I What theso gentlemen may charge for I
their shingles, wo do not know, b?t with^
such facilities and a liberal patronage, it
"would require but a small profit to bring
them in a fortune.
Anon we may speak of Col. Edwards'
brick yard in our character of
RAMBLER.
