combines the qualities of an excellent minister.
Possessing a fine flow of pure, unaffected language,
together with much clearness and depth

and instructive.- It is to be regretted that euch

Educational Enterprise.
, Pubsoant to'tt call made through the papers
wo weeks since, a portion of the citizens of the
'illago'and vicinity met id. tlic court-house on
Friday, 25th ult, to consider the various inatcis
connected with the educational interests of
he community.
The hour of the mcotiug being set at so short
lu interval eubseqticnl to the publication of the
all, there was therefore not a full attendance.
Jut those who did attend cvinced the proper
pirit. Upwards of eight hundred dollars were
'aided, to be applied to tho neccssary repair#
>n the male aeud-.-ruy, and to finish paying for
he new and bauddome female academy now
ipproaching ita completion. Two hundred dob
nrs more, we arc told, will satisfy the demand
n both cases. .
Wc like tho way these things aro done.?
L'liarc nr? no.great efforts to establish univerities
and collegiate iustitutcs, a"nd sd oft, at atf
icville, but we imagine tlie students here will
>e none the less benefitted by being taught in
?liools whoso pretensions arc not above their
ucans and names. Wo don't need and wc
lon't want collcge* in every village. Good
ichools are the idea, and such wc think can
lore be found.
The female academy building is not to ' surpassed
in convenience, taste and elegance b}iny
we have seen lately. It is built after a
lesign?not the tumbling together of rocks,
nortar and lumber as if by a half-tutored earthjuakc.
There is science in building, and its
genius has been wisely consulted in the erection
>f the several new improvements here.
The foregoing statements (which should have
jecn made last week), with the accompanying
lotions thrown in, are freely given, in hope
>f at least ri degree of good resulting to the
ichools tlicrcfrom. It'mny be well to let the
ivorld know tliat if we time got grogshops we
lave also temples of learning?the foundation
if insuperable barracks which are eventually
:o obstruct the progress of intemperance with
ts hideous train of curses. Would that we had I
i more potential offering to lay upon the altar ]
)f 60 glorious a cause! We would nourish the ^
eaglet of education until full-grown in vigor
iud strength he might drive before liim to
sternal exile from our earth the vultures of ignorance
and depravity I
New Cotton?The Abbeville Market
Very much to our chagrin, we neglected to
announce in our issuo last week the sale of the
first bale of new cotton in tliif> place. Mr. J. |
SI. Caiison was the seller, and our enterprising
rricnd Krnn the purchaser. It wtin ??!d on
Monday tlie 28tli ult, and nt nine ec:;N.

It would please us to see the sales of cotton
cry much increased in Xbtteville village; for,
rhilst we consider the interests of tho farmer
ould not sufTerupon the whole by Mich trans
etions, the life and activity of the town would
e vastly more quickened. Btisinc." of all

Union Campmeeting.
Jfctar*. Editors:?Allow me to prosent' to
your renders a few facts in relation lo the ftbovc
named Campmccting. ..
The situation of the camp-ground in one of
great convenience, and soinc beauty, although
the close proximity of the railroad subjects the
meeting to some disturbances on the arrival
and passing of tl>?trains. It is about five miles
from Cokesbury camp-ground, vlitck located
near the village. Campmceliugs form un
indispensable part of Mcthodistiu economy and
operations; and whether we regard them in
their * iol or religious tendencies, they cannot
well c discontinued.
True, there are churches nnd organized congregations
all over the wholo country, but
i > _i i ?
wiiiuviiivn lire iiui. imuijii unci, lllHi cnilgn'^Utions
<lo not always have that life uinl energy
iu religious matters, which their profession and
privileges demand. We need something to
qiiieken the Church,- and animate the zcalj^l
her membership; 6ome feast of tabernacles, 61
general assembling of the masses, that hy r
common law of otir nature men may Htimulutu
one another to dilligcncu and activity. Man is
a gregarious animal, and if you will not furnish
an occasion for the gratification of this
j propensity under suitable restrictions, he nevei
j fails to make one subject to no rule but the
most unbridled liberty.
No candid observer will conclude tlint tlu
occasional and incidental abuses or disturbances
overbalance the numerous and substantial
benefits thut so oft?n accrue to tlio interests o(
religion.
The meeting in question was largely attended
front the beginning. All the tents were occupied,
n>nny of them accouiniodating several
families, and although there was n'numeruju
attendance ?>f yung persons from the neighbtfr!
ing schools of (ireenVood and Cokeabury, und
iiiiiiiY en "i cii pcopte iron) ine contiguous plant!
utions, uinl tlio convenience of the railroad for
the coining uml going of the listless and the
wilful, y<:t tlx 1*0 whs the utmost good order
from tir*t to hist ns fnr as the writer hnd information'.
There was no rebuke dircct or indirect
from the pulpit, und the intercourse of tlio
people with one another was of the kindest and
most cordial nature. There was a large attendance
of ministers, and among them much real
ability, but the chief object of tlio.se officiating
neen>oil to be to "win soulu " by the mo of
" words of soberness and truth," and it was
lunnuesi ironi numerous and palpable indications
that tlieir efforts were not in vain. Conspicuous
among tlic clergy were Bishop Cavils
jiudDr.TATLonfroni China. BisbopC. hasscrved
his day and generation as itinerant Methodist
prenchcr near .fifty years, and "his bbw still
abides in stre^gtb" m wax obvious to themyl'
titudes who waited upon his mlnislrktSon wft>*
such veneration and delight on Sunday and
Mondav while he nrenolincl nntft tlmm " tlio ki?.
pel of the graco of God." We would gladly
furnish a synopsis of tha two sermons he
preached, but our capacity is inadequate to the
task. His appearance' is stiH with admirable
grace, and his voico full of mclodj* and power.
Dr. T. gave a thrilling account of soma of his
toils in his missionary field in China, and while
ho gave the incidents of ono of his visits to the
camp of the insurgents, full many a one concluded
that he was in cool deliberation, and in
unblanching, pertinacious courage, akin to old
imck oi nuennvistn memory, and Although moro
than two hundred dollars had been collected for
missions before hi* arrival, the good people
contributed in fuvflr of IjTfwSrlr more than one
hundred 'and twenty-five dollars. Dear me,
how far am I going ? Well, Messr#. Editors,
How mc to eoncludo by saying that the capp*
meeting was In every respect pleasant and successful;
nod'we'eaa only say, thatsuch meetings
should continue ten instead of four days,
which would make then ten fold mora a blessing
in all the objects contemplated or sought to
be secured by their in^jEumeotality.

I Tho Case of Captain Gibson.
, The Dutch Government has offered to pay |
. Captain Gibson the price of his ship, l?ut they j
are unwilling to recompense the Captain for
his loss of time, or for tho eighteen months
II imprisonment in a vile dungeon, and the indig- I
, nities heaped upon him.
The l'nris correspondent of the A". Y. Tribune, J
1 i writinir tindpr dntn nf tlio 7tli in>t?n>
i'*Cnptain Gibson is now in thin city. When >
lie arrived a short time ago at the llngru-, it win |
. I a question with the Government whether he i
| | should not again he arrested at a ftiyitive from j
justice! One of the first demands of the Cap- j
tain was for u return of the ship's papers. The
request was accedcd to, and, on-the f?Jlow?n? I
. day, it bundle of papers was brought to him by
; a Government servant, large enough to till it
bushel basket, regularly bound up and Healed
with the Government seal, and marked 'Onpt.
Gibson papers.' The Captain was surprised, but
said nothing. When the servant was gone, he
opened the bundle and found to his astonishmei.t
that it embraced all the State documents
concerning his ease; the history of his three 1
S trials in Javn; the secret, correspondence be- i
tween the ]>utch Government and the Provincial
authorities of the Island; and, in.fine, the
secret and otficinl history of the whole atfair. 1
This was tc'o valuable an acquisition on the
part of the Captain to allow it to j>ass out

the pnckage was immediately despatched to
Loii'aon. The next <l?y mi agent of tlio Government
called upon the Captain in great
trouble, mid, Rtnting that the bundle lind been
sent, to bim by mistake, asked for its reatora- 1
tion. But it was too late?the pneknge had left. 1
The (Government was furious towards the
Captain, and Mr. Belmont, being about to leave
for his residence in Paris, informed hiin that he
had better absent himself also, for that, when
lie was gone, it would hardly be safe to remain
