The temperance question occupied a space J
* in this paper, and its general make-up j
was not essentially different, from then
newspaper of to-day. The talk of hard times 1
was much the same as it is to-ilay. People!
then were poor and taxes were high, too.
From the schedule of the Greenvillo and
Columbia Railroad as advertised, it is to be;'
seen that Mr. Syfati rau his train from Abbe-'
ville to Hodges in forty-five minutes. Thei
fare from Abbeville to Columbia was ?1.23. |,
Dr. Bonner in this issue urged the Associate 1
Reformed Presbyterians of South Carolina to J
establish a Female College somewhere in the ,
iState, and suggested Newberry as a suitable
place. The suggestion was not acted on a.
that time, but, as our readers know, he him j
self established the Due West Female College.'
Several references are made to the unsatis" i'
factory manner iu which the mails arc car- ,
ried and papers lost. '!
From the following editorial paragraph, it :
will be seen that the ways of politicians in
18-54 were not dissimilar from tlie acts of those
who have been in power since the war:
"Shameful. ? Grant Thorburn, better
Iritmrn oc ''T.uiirlo Trwlrl oil rtlfl mu n ti*Uli ? ! 1
young wile has been turned out of a post in i
the New York Custom House worth only jlO'<
per week simply because he is a Whig." j;
Reference is made to Dr. Thornw.-ll and the '
South Carolina College. V j,
A correspondent reports a sermon by Rev. {
Alexander Campbell, the originator of the;
"Christian church," or what irreverent peo-!
ple.term "Campbellite" church. From the re-; i
* port of the sermon, we quote as fallows:
"Relative to the founding of the church,Mr. j
Campbell had a good deal to say. He said that :
everything must of necessity be sustained, "
The walls of that house, lor instance, were i
supported by the foundation. The planets of!
the solar system were dependent on the sun i.
as a centre of attraction. So was the church .
dependent, being founded on a "rock." Rut j
rm'jiniTiif.inns of :i rnci'fi rwpnt fl:ilo 1
were not thusfounded. in his judgment. They j
were nil dependent, and had every one a sup- I
port; but that support was a "contrivance of j
man. I
"Proceeding to specify, he was understood |*
to say, tnat the Roman Church was just what j
its name purports?it was the I'sipucy. Hut j
fur the genius of papacy the order could not i1
exist. In tlus one idea lay the whole secret of j
continued identity?destroy the papacy, and <
you destroy the church.
"Episcopacy was also represented as depend- j
enton the peculiar genius of its own organi-1 (
zatiou and government embracing the whole ,
machinery of higher and lower orders
amongst the clergy.
"Presbyterianisia in turn was represented j 1
as a dependency on human contrivance.!
Having been originated in the organization of j <
a Presbyterial form of government, it depended
for existence on the genius and workings of
ihut system. He contended that Presbyterian .
compact was not the result, of unity in doc- .
trines, but of the genius of church politics.
"And Congregationalism was said also to de- ,
pend on the workings of its own peculiar or- !
gunization.
"All these influences were represented as j
sectarian and rtiiuous in their tendencies but
:.v.
said he,'I am for the broad schcmc of Cath>l:cisi!i.
Not Roman Catholicism: for so soon |
is you apply the name Roman, the meaning
s ivsirit-iiMi. i aiit mr 111 ??j |/i inv ij'.. o v. j
liiiversal and unrestricted Catholicism.'"
The "plan of endowment" of Erskine College
by the issue of "Scholarship J.oiuls" is I
ublished in full. The Trustees adopted the I
'plan" in I.ihd<ay Hall on the 8th of April, |

[I. Hemphill, Joseph Ij. IjCc, A. ?.I.
It seems that the up-country then, as now,
,bought it had good reason to complain of the
ow-country. A correspondent, among other
things, says:
"From the formation of the government of
^outh Carolina, an aristocracy has been nourished
in the low-country. A compromise between
the up and low-country formed it; the
duo section possessing wealt h, the other population.
The low-country was the first settled,
ind at lirst for a long time; the up-country
had no share in the government until their
complaints convinced the patriotic of both
sections that something must be done. This
led to a compromise in which the people of
the low-country obtained the offices of the
<tate for their favorites, and a majority in the
Legislature. There is a similarity between the
i-overnment of South Carolina ana that of anient
Home, not so much iu the cause that led
bo Its formation, as in the manner of its operation;
the people, driven on by the oppressions
of the Patricians, seceded; a compromise
gave them an influence in the government.
The people of the low-country have
the same importance in the government that
the Patricians had. It Is true they have not
ijereditary lilies, but they can look down with
?imti.ni tit mum thi> nnnnle of t he un-eount.rv :
they can feel with the saino pride that a line
i>f distinction is clearly marked between them
m?5 the people, though not. by stringent laws
forbid them to marry, as it was with the old
Koman patricians. They, above any class in
this Union, fear the spread of general uitcllis?'iice;
they dread that, under its inlluenee,
the people, learning their rights and knowing
where their oppressions are, their power and
Importance will vanish away.
"A college was next attached as a part of
the system of aristocracy, endowed with plenty
of money to make education. It became
the pet child ol government, where young
men were trained to hold the offices of the
state?bound together to support each other
in elections?? place for the wealthy to be educated,
while many as worthy sons are driven
to.seek in another State that which is denied
them in their own; or, unable to defray the
expenses of so costly an education, they must
?o to what they patronizingly call a "good
tiigh school."
Itev. \V. It. Hemphill, associate editor, in
living an account of his recent trip to Abbeville
village, said:
"We enjoyed, as formerly, the hospitality
md friendly intercourse of our friends. Major
Jones and It. A. Fair, Esq. Maj. Jones is an
active, energetic member of the Methodist
church, with a little sprinkle ol'Secederism
ibout him, as we accidentally learned. His
father formerly attended the ministrations of
[lev*. Mr. McMillan, at Due West,?was possessed
of the works df the Erskines, whose
l>n Pno.l f,. Iilo ( Itlilv tin
Sabbath, ami trained his children to t he? riirid
mode of observing the Lord's Day. Mr. Fair
sa member of the Piesbyterian church, demoted
to her interest, and extension. He was
raised a Scceder. Thus it is that Secederism
loses its members and its men of Influence.
Christians are tlie light of the world nnd the
<alt of the earth, anil it it no small satisfaction
to know that the A. 11. church is able to
\ fiord both "light' and "salt" to other
jh arches.
"We found our friend nnd christian brother,
David Lesly, Esq., in a low state of health,
lie is one of the "excellent of the earth," and
ihould his present affliction terminate fatally,
Ins loss will be seriously lelt in the village ami
District.
"We had the pleasure of dining with Rev.
Mr. Montgomery, of the Presbyterian church,
1 ..< 1 ,?UI. ...
UlU UJ MlillviJIU, \> llll III ICdSM- IIUU' IA4Ilors,
the fourth wo did not see. Editors and
?x-ediiors are as "plenty as blackberries" til
;he Court House. Step round town, and lift a
atcli here and there, and you will be apt. to
<c;?re one up. We number nine or ten of this
useful class now at the village.
"The vil.'age of Abbeville is advancing In the
tvay of improvements. The Methodist ehureb
is undergoing a thorough remodeling, and
ivhen finished, will be quite improved in appearance.
A Presbyterian church is one the
way, small in size, but large enough in price.
1'lie Presbyterians should have had a church
in the village years ago. A neat female academy
is up, but, not completed, and a male
u'Hdeiny is to be erectcd. These are all laudable
enterprises, and the people of the village
lind themselves very much burdened, these
Itard tinifs, by having the expenses on all
ihese buildings to meet at or near the same
time. Notwithstanding these pressing ditli-1
.ml ties, the good people of Abbeville village
liave generously subscribed near Si,000 to enlow
ErskineCollege,and the subscription will
yet be increased probably to ?1,200.
"Some of the villagers complain seriously
that they are called on from all parts of the
District to aid in building churches and academies,
and when they are now pressed foraid.
[ittie aid comes from the country. Now, in
jur humble judgment, the country people
mould reciprocate tne Kinu oinces 01 tneir
Yiends in the village, and we hope the friends
>f Erskine College in I he District will extend
i helping hand promptly?without waiting
for an agent?in advancing the cause of education
and religion at. the county seat. Two
'onsiderations should prompt to this course,
first, we are bound to do to them as we would
that they sltould do, and as they have done, to
as: and second, it should be the desire of ev?ry
man in the District to sec education and
religion flourishing at the Court House. Evsry
citizen in the District will he benefited or
injured by the influence that emanates from
the Sent of Justice. If churches and academies
are erected there, and exert a healthful
Influence on the villagers?put a stop to prevailing
evils?will not that blessed influence
he felt in the remotest corner of the District ?
Suppose there was such a thing as a grop-shop
or a gambling room, at the village. Such establishments,
it will be admitted, are "evil.
only evil, una mat continually,' out wno
would I'cel the evil ? The villagers only? No;
tliu pernicious influence would circulate
through the District, corrupting the young
men, and urging the old topers with accelerated
speed to their awful doom?filling the
land with gamblers, loafers,and murders,and
polluting the atmosphere with the stench of
rum and the foul breath of the blasphemer.
But on the other hand, suppose several good
churches were erected at Abbeville Court
House, and the gospel faithfully proclaimed
there Horn Sabbath to Sabbath, religion revived
and its blessed influence controlling the
citizens, would they alone be benefited? No;
the leaven of love would spread through the
District, and exert Its influence insensibly in
every quarter.
"The people in the country would be gainers
by havinir a healthy religious influence exerted
at the Court House. The people in the country
should take pride in having the county
seat equal to any other District village in the
State, in the matter of churches, academies,
and other public improvements."
