Pleasant itiyei' issues from a
spring on the mountainside. It
trickles down until it meets other
streniits u.s small as itself. They
unite, and go dancing pn t heir \\ ay
:is h rivulet.
Its course is onward*?ever onward
until it assutiles the proportions of a
river. It Hows through.fertile vales
and grassy meadows: dVerpebolv
bottoms and by rustic cot!ages
Little children wade in its waters,
and sail their miniature boats on its
bosom.
It ?nlttitittCH to flow calmly for
Iniles, until suddenly i.t falls, some
three or four feet over a lodge of rocks*
The fa!! of Pleasant Riveris not
a Niagara, but it has its own pie
luresqilC beauty. Instead of the
granite clilfs of Niagara, we see a
pine forest. Instead of rainbows pro
duced by the reilectiou of the. sun's
rays on the columns of spray, we
see the vines or the yellow jessamine
climbing to the topmost brnnchos'of
the trees. The song of the modletng
bird is heard above the noise of the
falling water. ? '
A short distance below the Kails,
some capitalist b.-is erected an exten
sive mill, and will no doubt maki a
fortune, but with that we have noth
ing to do.
We will go on a mile further to the
lif le toWII of Plcasunlvillu, which
takes its name from the river, and an
appropriate one it is.
The -streets are uot numerous, but
they are wide and well shaded. [The
dwellings tire Mostly cottages; there
are it few houses of greater propor
tions, ami all have wide pniizzus and
tall shade trec.-v
Oil ii retired street. Where the
elms rival those of New Haven, is a
particularly pretty cottage. Its llow
er garden and every thing around iti
is in the Heiltest order.
Two ladies are sitting on its vino
covered porch, enjoying the perfumed |
air. The sun has disappeared be
bind the pities, and a servant Pomes
out with n tray, and places it on a
table near thorn, dust at that mo
ment a buggy Stopped at the gale, and
an old gentleman with white hair
and beard, comes up the gulden walk.
Until ladies arose to meet him.
?I am very ghid to see you Or.
Simpson.' said t he older lady.
"It is such an unexpected pleasure,"
the young lady said.
''Phis is not a professional visit,'
said Dr. Simpson. 'I do not think
either of you can need medicine, when
you are about to partake of such a
tempting repast.'
'Willyou join us Doctor?'
'Certainly Mrs. Gray, I will not
object to a cup of tea and a taste of
your nice cake,'
After chatting awhile, the Doctor
said, 'this porch is so delight fully
! cool, and the company so agreeable,
I had almost forgotten what I wanted
to say, when 1 came in.
I feel that my health is declining
? I am not as strong as I used to lie,
and I need rest,'
'I must have help, and I have made
arrangements with Dr. Golo to come
and asnist nie. I expect my patients
will rebel at lirst, but after they In
come well acquainted with him, they
will give him the preference.)
'I must beg you Doctor, never to
send that young man to me, 1 want
some one of more experience when 1
am sick, and I tell you once for all,
I cannot employ a young Doctor.'
'.My dear madam, if every one were
of your opinion there would be no
experienced physicians. How can a
young man become experienced, if no
one will employ him?1
Turning to the young lady he said,
'I do not think Miss Pauste will ob
ject to young Doctors.'
Yes sir 1 do, and if 1 should he so.
unfortunate as to require medical
treatment, I hope you will send no
one in your place'
'When do you expect your assist
I tint?' inquired Mrs. Gray.
'To-roorrow, or ho ma} possibly he
bore to-night.'
T must be going, and in a few
"months hence, I will expect both of
you to entertain a very different opin
ion of Dr. Cole.'
Mrs. Gray was the widow of a
clergyman. Soon after her husband's j
death, she made her home in Poas
antville, and devoted herself to the
education of her daughter, who was
a child of more than ordinary intel
lect, and Mrs. Gray wr.s fully compe
tent to the undertaking.
The years had passed happily, and
Pauste was now a young lady, as
bright and beaiitiful as the'flowers
for which she was named.
Who does not love the dear little
Patisics. They are the first to greet
us in tho early spring; and when we
see them looking so bright and cheer
ful wc know that winter is over.
They linger w ith us until the chill
breath of autuinu withers their beau
ty, then they bow their heads and
leave us.
But Pansie Gray was bright and
beautiful all the year round. Stim
mer and winter she was the same
lovable being.
It was not surprising that she
should have many friends and ad
mirers.
The mother nod (laughter sat oil
the porch and watched the moon's
gradual ascent.
{i?*oe maniinn, boxy the moonlight
makes the garden appear like fairy
land.'
?Is it not beat iful?'
dust then a mocking-bird in the I
distance, was heard to warble a few
soft mites.

said Pansie, 'and it .soundsso sweet

?Von are Very iin.-igiuut ive to-night t

'The moonlight always makes me j

could n I way 8 write beat, with the
moonlight around nie.1
T see an object outside the garden,
I might imagine it to be a fairy, but
its does not look \cry elfish.'
'No, that object is too corporeal

will have to recall your thoughts from
their wanderings, and bring them
back to reality, for here comes your
old friend Robert Morton.'
'I did not know you bad returned.'
said Pansie, after salutations had
been exchanged.
'I arrived last night, and am gi id
to get home again.1
'1 am very glad to have you back.'
Pansie said.
*Are you really glad Pansie?1
'Certainly 1 am. just as glad as if
you were mv I?rot her.'
'We always miss you when you
leave home,1 said Mrs. Gray.
'1 did not think 1 was of sufficient
importance, for my absence to be
noticed by any one.'
'Whut an humble opiliton you have
of yourself. I did not know that
humility was one of your virtues. 1
hope you have bec?ii enjoying your
self. Did you make t he ucquaiituticc

'No, 1 did uot. 1 went on busi
ncss. and w hen that was accompl ish -
od, I turned my course homewnrd?1
?'/'hat was a foolish question for
me to ask,'said Pansie; 'when I know
you care so little for ladies' society.'
Have I ever been wanting in my
attentions to you,1 asked Robert,
'Oh! no,1 replied Pansie,] you have
always beeil ii dear good brother. We
never disagree, but you and Jessie
are constantly disptitiWg.'
'It is because, Jessie teases me, and
von do not; and she is too inquisi
five. The business which took me
away, was no secret, but when she
pretended to know all about it, I

in teasing Robert, juBt because she

Editor Orauyebitry 'lime* :
I enclose you the following in re
gard to the business prospects in our
town and County, which I hope you
will publish:
Since the war our people had more
to contend with than any other Coun
ty in the Strite. The frauds coin
in it ted and money squuudcrcd by
Radicals ami Carpet-baggers was
enormous; the people were crushed
down by taxation. Even at this pre
sent time, our political condition is
far from being satisfactory. To
make this communication as short as
possible, T will give the business out
look of this place.
We have several large stores, who
keep general merchandise, among
which are two'of.the handsomest and
extensive dry goods stores, kept by
two young and enterprising gent lo
inen. Theodore [Colin and Henry
Kuhn.
?Mr. <?'. H. Cor nelson has the la rg
est and most extensive store that is
kept in ?<ny inland town in the State.
Jlis sales cannot amount to less than
% lot),000 per annum, and hiiiy reach
$200,000. Mr. Cornelson employs
10 clerks and besides about <"> porters
and teamsters. This present sea
sou be has already shipped 1100
bales of cottoil, and will by the cud of j
tin* season have shipped fiom 15 to
8000 bales. Mr. (Yirnt'lsou's store,
factory and outbuilding- occupy al
most a whole square, lb* has just
completed several brick buildings
intended for a cotton factory. All
that is wanted now is the machinery.
When the factory goes into opera
tion, he will employ from .">() to 70
hands. Air. ( ornelson is a man of
great enterprise, helping largely to
make up this town ami make it
prosper.
Mr. .1. ('. Pike does a very exten
sive business. He is a man of a large
heart, and enjoys the confidence of all
the people of this County. Mr. Pike
is one id'the largest cotton buyers in
Orangeburg, and -ell- :i large quan
tity of goods, and i> daily increasing
his business, lb- dc&erves to suc
ceed.
Messrs. Hull tint! Seoville are
among the oldest merchants in the
town, and do a business on a most
substantial basis, including cotton
buying, banking and merchandise.
They are sate and far seeing Ii nan
eies and prudent business men.
I). Louis is probably the oldest
inert bant in the place, ami is doing
a solid business. Space forbids my
mentioning the nil hi her of younger
and thriving merchants who are
building up our town by. their energy
and enterprise. Wo could mention
Walker. Webb Rull. Smoak. Ucneker,
Kirk Robinson. Eros, Schilllcy, N an
Tassel I, DeMars. A Ibergott i, Thonip
son, Sorent rue and others, but we
forben Vi
Messrs d. Strauss iV Co., is anoth
er enterprising firm. They have a
Rice Mill in this place, and Saw
Mills in the neighborhood. They
employ u large uumber of hands.
They ship Rico to different points in
this State and into (leorgia. They
h?we- ?mlnrgod their M)ll by adding
new machinery to the amount, of
$2000.
We have fotif livery ^tables, two
brick and lumber yards, three Bar
ber ?hops, four Drug stores, three
mii^?n? female Poh?vdp, Rftd an |
Agricultural College for colored
people. By the 1st October another
jewelry and watchmaker store will
he opened here. We also have n
marble yard just opened by Mr. 0.
M ny hew.
Orangebtlrg Is the third largest
business place on the South Carolin?.
R. R., \i/.: Columbia, Augusta
Orangeburg.
The receipt? and shipments of
cotton at this Depot this season, up
to 1 Sth Sept. are fully 32.00 bales.
Besides MV.J fa. II. Cornclson ban
purchased COttOU ill the seed equal to
300 bales, which inakes a total of
this year's crop marketed 6f3500
bales, the value of which fimotints to
$1 07. 500,
Within a few days past sohie very
valuable property has changed
bands. Mr. J. C. Pike purchased a
lot whereupon lie will at one*; erect
a large brick store, and on the oppo
site corner Mr. T. 1), Wolfe wdll also
put up an extensive brich building.
Another gentleman purchased a large
lot in the upper portion of the town,
with the intention of erecting stores.
Capt. Bell has just finished 3 brick
stores, which are all rented.
Orangeburg County is next to
Charleston County in population,'
having 40,000 and the village2100.
()ih> great drafw back, we have in
this town, is that. We have no
banking facilities. Had we a bunk
it would add very* much to bur busi
ness prosperity
1 would also mention that there is
a large business done in this County
in making Turpentine und Rosin, all
of which is shipped from this point
to ('boldeston.
In conclusion, T wotfld sav we want
enterprising men to come liefe? w here
they can employ their capital to ad
vantage. We want 500,000 immi -
grants in South Carolina, and sonic
..et),,.... in tliiu Cmintv t<> hell) us to
developo the resources of our Hi a re.
As to their political status. We can
only say. that their political opinion
will make no difference, as long as
they are law abiding citizens. Tlloy
will find that they will be respected
and well eared for.
We have one very peculiar estab
lisbmeut in this town. It is different
from any other in any country town.
Mr. ('. 1), Kortjoltu keeps a cheap
cash store. Nothing goes out of his
store wit bout the money down. Mr.
K. has agents in Charleston, Balti
more and New York, who make pur
chases for him. for cash, when ever
bargains are oft' ?red. This enables him
to sell at remarkably low figures.
.Mr. Kortjohu sells enormous quanti
ties of goods at very low figures. In
fact the most of hifc goods are sold
fur less money than they can be
manufactured. These are fuels und
we know what we are saying cannot
be cont roycrtud.
Ornngchtirg has a Steam Pi re
Engine.

THE b'OSI'Kb ON TltK STAtJE.
The Passion Play, a theatrical re
prcscntat ion oft 'brist upon the earl h,
will lie produced for the first time in
New York in 1 leceinbcr.
The first representation was given
in San Francisco a few months ago.
and so great was the discussion,
division of opinion ami excitement in
reference to it that the managers,
after live weeks rendering, withdrew
it from the stage. It is now to he
reproduced in New York with the
Crucifixion omitted. The death of
?lohn, the Baptist, with the scene of
the offering of his head upon a
charger to King Nerod; the Last
Supper; the Garden of Getliesefnaue;
the arraignment before Pontius
Pilate, and the A see isinn, will be
among the Bible pictures presented.
It is a revolution which will elicit
great discussion and sharp criticism.
Mr. Morsd the manager ssys that he
wdll endeavor in every way to separ
ate from the performance t he idea of
the theatre. He says he thinks he
will do good and is enthusiastic on
the subject.

suppose the delegates were anxious

important matter, and a subject up
on which every man ought to show
his hand. Tim crimes arising from
this source demand a reform.

THE CODE PKNOl NCCiL
In the County Democratic Conven
tion of Marion Junius II. Evans and
John \L Powers disturbed the meet

to kvt-jj wftlor. ein c'ii.ti.>.?um .i.uu
appointed Capt. A. E, 'Ciichrist a
sergeant at arms to eject the Unruly

others, he did.
For this discharge of his duty Mr.
Evans, after the Convention, scut a
challenge to Capt. GUchrist for mor
tal combat, which t he latter promptly
and peremptorily declined.
As soon as the circumstances be
came known, the citizens of Reaves'
Township held a public meeting, in
w hich they drew up resolutions de
nouncing'the conduct of Mr. Evans,
and highly commendatory of (.'apt.
(lilchrist for his act um.
One of the resolutions reads as
follows:
"We heartily (-mlor.se the high
moral and Christian courage of (.'apt/
A. E. Ciichrist in refusing to violate
his vows t<? society and God in that
he refused to meet said .Tunius IL
Evans in mortal combat, under the
so-called Code of Honor, the waning
relic of a barbarous mode of settling
