The Peabody Medals.
Our excellent School Commissioner,
who Las made so worthy and ener
getic a beginning in bis office, calls to
oar notice the following letter, which
he finds in the last annual Report
of the State Superintendent of Edu
cation :
Son. Buak S. Tlixmivson, Columbia
S.O. "
The Trustees of the Peabody Edu
citional Fand, looking to the with
drawal of all direct aid to public
schools, wish me to keep up a pies s
ant connection with them, by a liber
al distribution of the Peabody med
als, as prizes for special excellence,
to be given to high schools or other
schools of a high grade. These med
als arc not to be given as a matter of
course, but only when there is evi
dence of distinguished excellence.
Relying upon your ready co-opera
tion, unvaryingly given heretofore, I
will place at your disposal, for the
puolic schools of South Carolina,
twenty bronze medals. I respectful
ly request that arrangements be made
with Principals of schools, or other
?sheol officers, for the examination of
the pupils and the distribution of the
medals. Allow me to suggest that
the Committees of examination and
award be chosen with care, and that
the necessary steps be taken to make
the medal an object of honorable am
bition, so as to stimulate diligent ap
plication, superior scholarship and
probable usefulness.

Tbe Case of Dr. W. S. Sims.
[Special to the JVeitw and Courier.]
COLUMBIA, January 2G.-A lady |
arrived in Columbia late last night
and registered at Wright's Hotel as
Mrs. M. D. Sims, of Union.. Discover
ing to-day that she was the wife of
the Aiken prisoner Sims, the Nexus
and Courier correspondent sent up his
card, but Mrs. Sims very naturally
asked to be excused from an interview.
This, however, did ?ot prevent the
ascertainment of the reason for her
Visit.
Mrs. Sims was induced to come
here by her husband's relatives and
to aid in extricating him from his
terrible position. At about noon to
day she visited Sims at the jail, where
he is still incarcerated, and had a
private interview with him in the j ail
parlor for the space of three hours.
This evening Mr. David Johnson,
of Union, the counsel for Sims, arrived
in Columbia, and had a consultation
with Mrs Sims.
To-morrow morning Mr. Johnson
will argue before the Supreme Court
for a reduction of bail for his client,
and will submit an affidavit from Mrs.
Sims setting forth that she did not
make certain statements contained in
the affidavit upon which Sims was
arrested ; that she did not know of
the charges said to be brough ? by
her until after the arrest of Sims ; that
the whole affair has been very much
?^j^xaggerated, ar^/^*^j; desires thj
proBecnuon~t"o^l||flf fWJW'.
What effect this paper will have
on the Court is not known, N. G. G.
On Saturday ?he 27th, the Supreme
Court considered the application, and
refused to reduce the bail from $2,
000. Dr. Sims remains'in jail in Co
lumbia, and states that it is the in
tention of his counsel to move on his
behalf for a change of the place of
trial should a true bill be found
against him.
The Third Regiment of State Vol
unteer Troops.
The following named State Volun
tee Troops will be organized into

THE AUGUSTA AND KNOXVILLE
ROAD.-The Augusta Chronicle speak
ing of the proposed lease of the Au
gusta and Knoxville Railroad, says :
" The Central Railroad Company is
probably the most active and con
spicuous factor in these negotiations.
It is even stated that the Central Rail
road may perfect the lease through
the Port Royal making the Knoxville
branch the extension of the latter,
and securing thereby better facilities
for the connection of the two roads
through the city. The South Caro
lina Railroad has made overtures for
the Augusta and Knoxville, but their
interests have not been actively rep
resented of late. One of the most
significant and enterprising offers yet
' made for the road is understood to be
by a Northern syndicate representing
a consolidation of a number of unfin
ished railroads leading from Carolina
to the West. It is to be called the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chica
go Railroad.

The New Bishop of Charleston*
The Right Rev. H. P. Northrop,
vb ose appointment as Bishop of the
Diocese of Charleston has been an
?ounced, received the intelligence at
faeksonville, Fla., yesterday through
L communication addressed to him
"rom this place. Bishop Northrop
md Father Quigley, tho administra
tor of the Diocess, left Jacksonville
yesterday evening for Cedar Keys
whence they take the steamer to-day
f >r Hava: a From Havana they will
proceed to Nassau and will, after
fulfilling their duties there, return to
this city. They are expected back
s bout the 10th of February. Bishop
Northrop was consecrated Bishop of
Rosalia and Vicar apostolic of the
Vicariate of North Carolina in January
of last year, and will consequently
enter upon the duties of Bishop of
Charleston without any further cere
monies of consecration. Upon his
return to Charleston however, an early
day will be appointed for his installa
tion, the services of which will consist
of a solemn Pontifical High Mass, (at
which it is probable that Archbishop
Gibbons of Baltimore and other dis
tinguished prelates will be present)
and the formal announcement of the
appointment and the address from the
new Bishop upon the assumption of I
the charge.-News and Courier.
Fraternal Relations Resumed.
The Northern and ?Southern assem
blies of the Presbyterian Church
have resumed, by formal vote, those
fraternal relatins which were broken
during the war. Each passed reso
lutions containing the following de
claration : "While receding from no
principle, we declare our regret for
\ and withdraw all expressions of
our assembly which may be regarded
as offensive." The Rev. Dr. Herrick
Johnson, who was the moderator of
the Northern assembly, revived the
question at some risk of reopening
the breach. He says that clearly the
regret ard withdrawal were absolute
ly without any limitation as to ex
pressions that were offensive. The
resolution swept from the record eve
ry offending word. He reminds his
denomination that a possible con
struction of this action would tarnish
their record of loyalty and their ex
pressed condemnation of the rebell
ion, making them regret it all and
take it back. He does not regard
the clause, "while receding from no
principle," as consistent. He asks
what that principle is worth, the ex
pression of which must be regretted
and then withdrawn.
The Unfinished Census.
WASHINGTON, January 28-Gen.
Francis A. Walker, who has been
called to Washington to take charge
of the census, says that the work is
not in such a confused and unsatis
factory state as represented. All
the reports which have not already
been printed are in a fair way to com
pletion, and he thinks he can finish
the work during the present calendar
year with very few exceptions, at a
cost of $200,000 more. By the mid
dle of May all but two or three of the
reports will have gone to the printer
The expense of this census, he says
will be about nine and a half cent?
per head of population, as compar?e
with nine cents in the ninth census
The difference of one-half cent pei
head represents more than double th<
work done in the precedirg census
by reason both of the expansion of th<
topics and the broadening ofthe scopi
Southern Cotton Milts.
Statistics just published show that
luth Carolina now has twenty-seven
?urishing cotton mills, with 4,120
oms and 180,771 spindles, and that
e business yields an average net
.ofit of twelve per cent. In 18S0
ere were in the State eighteen mills,
ith 1,930 loom? and 95.93S spindles,
hese figures show an extraordinary
.ogress in this important industry,
td the fact that nine new mills were
larted at the recent session of the
Bgislature indicates a striking growth
the business in the future. In un
?rtaking to manufacture its great
able, instead of sending it to Eng
?h and New England mills, the
juth has entered a field of industri
al ivi ty which promises to prove a
ost important source of prosperity,
earness of its mills to its cotton
sids is an advantage which in time
ust tell strongly in favor of the
outh in the competition with its dis
int competitors.-Neto Torie Herald.
A Shining Example.
South Carolina is evidently in earn
st in her efforts to bring the mills to
ie cotton. In the first place she ex
oipts all manufacturing companies
.om State taxation for a period of
?n years and, in the second place,
nd as a result of the former action,
ie chartered at the recent session of
ie Legislature nine new cotton, mills,
aving an aggregate capital of'
1,720,000. We heartily congratu
tte oar sister State on her rapid ma
?rial progress and would set her up
3 a shining example for the emula
on of North Carolina, which pos
?sses equal if not greater natural
dvantages.-Raleigh {N. 67.,) News
nd Observer.
THE CITADEL AcADEMY.-The cadets
t the Academy will to-day receive
60 new cadet Springfield rifles with
ayonets and accoutrements, which
ave been ordered through Mr. C P.
'oppenheim. They will at once enter
pon the drill in the manual, and,
lthough the time is short, the bat
dion will doubtless be prepared to
o creditto itself at the coming parade
n the 22d of February. The corps
rill also, during the coming week
eceive the full dress uniforms which
ave been ordered and which will be
recisely similar to the uniforms worn
y the cadets before the war. There
re now 150 cadets on the roll of the
Lcaderny.-News and Courier.
The total eclipse of the sun on the
th of Mar next will last six minutes,
nd no longer one will probably occur
rithin the next hundred years. It
rill be partially visible in many places
ut few will see it ia its entirety, as
ts path lies almost entirely through
he ocean, touching land nowhere but
t a little island in the South Pacific
ailed Caroline Island, which is ont
?f the track of any esta1 linhed com
lerce or travel. The French Gov
rnment has determined to send an
xpediliou to that island, and it is
.robablea grand international gatber
ag of astronomers will meet there to
ake part in this scientific quest.
There were 194 decisions filed in
he Supreme Court of South Carolina
uriug the year 18S2. It seems to us
inpossible for three men to give these

hey deserve. The Co*irt should be
acreased by the addition of at least

Lively Letter From Washington,
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26, '33.
DEAR ADVERTISER : We hear from
home that you are having beautiful
weather-planters getting ready for
another crop, &c. &c., What a con
trast to the miserable weather in
Washington for the past three weeks!
Snow one day-sleet and rain the
n-xt: this has been the order of
the day for Borne time. A sight of
the sun is as rare almost as getting
Btruck by lightning.
Sire.* the exit of M'lle. Rhea, we
have had no sensation until two days
ago, when Massachusetts' Governor,
Ben Butler, put in an appearance.
He is an awfully homely old custo
mer, or shall I say "cuas?'' and wears
a full blown rose on the lappel of his
coat ; and looks every way, "seven
ways for Sunday 1 at the same time.
To-day I hear that the Marquis of
Lorne has arrived in the city ; and of
couree the hero worshipers will make
a great fuss over him.
I went to the White House yester
day for the first time. You often
hear it said it is so unhealthy in that
building th?t it is hardly safe to live
there. Yet I know fully fifteen peo
ple who would be willing to risk it !
I would not, however ; there is too
much eloquence. It would scare me
t) spend one night in such a house.
Eulogies were delivered in the
Senate yesterday in memory of Ben
Hill ; some of them were very fine,
especially those of Ingalls and Voor
hees.
I notice in your fast issue the nom
ination of Capt. R. S. Anderson for
Major of the 3rd Regt. State Troops.
I second the nomination most hearti
ly. I chanced to see Dick Anderdon
on more than one bloody battle field,
when he waB a mere boy, and a more
gallant fellow never fought for his
country. This carries me back to
the battle of Jackson, Mississippi, in
1863. One day I saw a little fellow,
about 15 years old, dressed in a con
federate uniform, carrying a dispatch
from his Col. to Gen. Evans. To do
this, he had to leave the breastworks
and expoee himself to the Yankee
sharpshooters. As soon as they saw
him, more than a hundred rifles were
discharged at him, and a spheiical
case shot was also fired at him from
a cannon. The 6hell exploded over,
and not twenty feet from his head.
He fell, and looked as though he
wasn't thicker than your hand-he
got so near the ground. I ran to him
it was Dick Anderson-and caught
him by the arm to drag bim back in
to the works, saying at the same
time : "Are you hurt much ?" His re
ply waa : "No, Sir. I was only dodg
ing that d-n shell." .1 didn't think
it worth my while to look after thal
boy any more. He was soldier enougl
to take care of himself. He not onlj
served his country (in Holcombe
Legion) throughout the war, but hai
made a good citizen since; and i
iend never lived. I hope the Rifles
ill see to it that your nominee shall
? promoted.
Yesterday I picked up a hair-pin
a the Senate Moor, showed it to Col.
im Randall, and told him I was go
ig to send it to Col. Bill Moore, of
ie Evening JNeius, and tell him I
>und it in his (Randall's) room. He
ung up his arme), rolled his eyes
ack about three times, and fainted.
had a bottle of Hack-snake root
nd other ingredients, thai; I keep in
?y pocket for fits, which I stuck to
is nose. It cared him. And I reck
n now I won't send the hair-pin.
Our Senators, Butler and Hamp
?n, are in the best of health, both
ooking as well as you ever saw them,
^hey are on duty every hour the
lenate is in session.
Some of the Senators, whoae time
xpires the fourth ol' March, are still
>n the ragged edge. I am betting
'et that we will get one Democratic
Senator from a Republican State. 1
hink he will come from Nebraska.

We learn that there has been an
ippointment made at Parksville for
the Rev. Mr. Brown, a well known
Methodist minister. The people of
Parksville are seen every Sabbath
norning gathering into their beauti

Jag Breaking at Johnston.
Early in December la^t I made my
.eport ou Koger Fund, by churches,
br the year then closing. I had con
:luded to adopt another plan on the
)ircuit, if returned the present year;
30 experimented on it at the Johnston
Sunday-school. The plan was to
have a jug breaking. Early in No
vember I asked the children to make
an effort to have a special present on
the approaching Christmas tree for
Brother Koger. They had two months
to work in. f gave out the jugs,
(procured from Dav.d C. Cook, Chi
cago, prepared for the purpose ) At
the Christmas tree they were broken,
and contained seventeen dollars and
eighteen cents. All of the children
did.well; but Willie Toney deserves
especial mention. He worked like
one intensely interested in the cause
of Christ. Although a little more
than six years of age, he can make a
capital missionary appeal. Willie's
jug being broken, was found to con
tain four dollars and seventy six cents.
We expect to have missionary jug
breakings during the year, at each of
my churches. Come and be at one ;
you are not too old to enjoy a chil
dren's day. Harmony, Spann's and
Johnston Sunday-6chools paid into
the treasury for Bro. Koger, before
Conference, nearly fifty dollars. Add
$17.18, and you have the result of
the year's work. I recommend the
j jugs and practical missionary talks to
all in charge of children missionary
societies, and to persons of older
years. I would recommend that a
jug be kept and into it, from time to
time, put your contributions. On
breaking it, you will be surprised.
P. S.-These jugs are not related
to another jug family I wrote of.

Death of Rev. David Dei rick.
The venerable and greatly beloved
David Derrick died at his home, in
Columbia, S. (v., .Friday night, Jan.
12th. He was born in 1800, became
a member of the ?^ Qrdotiiiireos^i in
1827, traveled as an itinerant
er for more than a quarter of &
tury, took a superannuated relation in
1856, and for twenty-six years of
enforced retirement has waited pa
tiently upon the Lord, laboring the
while up to the full measure of his
power and opportunity. In his own
food time the Lord came and found
is servant ready for the summonp,
having a desire to depart in order to
be with Him in glory. He was buried
from the Marion Street Church in
Columbia on last' Saturday, Rev. A.
M. Cbreitzberg preaching an appro
priate 6ermon on the occasion. He
was a good man, full of the Holy
Ghost and of faith. Though we ?hall
miss him but slightly, such was his
necessary exclusion from the public
gaze, yet we sincerely mourn him as
a brother beloved in the Lord, and, in
his mature prime, a prince. in our
Israel. We hope to receive further
