I do not hate any Hiing theil Ged has made ; but God never made* the base and dis honest wretches thatipow' hold many of I our highest and mosfcresponsible public ofliccs, or the major jiart of the misera ble and greedy set of$jspirants that are seeking to fill their;jplaces. Such vile creatures-men who/steil, and rob, and plunder an opnresaett'?nd impoverished people in the name ,.6'f government and law, and all those who would follow in their polluted footstep?, are emanations from no other sourc&vtaan the veritable Devil himself, andj?Mpcrlatively mcun Devil at that *&B$j?i;w ?,. Even hero in Oconeo County, which ought to bo right sidcup with caro and Democratic to tho core, havinghe/clofore had a pretty lair and clean political re cord, I believe! things ure so badly mixed up in thc matter of thc election, that it is now hard to tell whether wv shall get a decent representation in tho next Legis lature. Radical spoulors of* different types and shadows, and of dur?rent hues ami colora also, have been lu re holding forth, coming and going at intervals. I have honored nono of them with my presence, having heard enough of their whang-doodlo and shibboleth nearer headquarters. All I have to say on this pdint, and all I shall say about thu politics of thc State at this time, is, if radicalism with its polluting breath can so far contaminate tho pure air of this region, and disturb tlic equilibrium of the staunch old de mocracy of this mountain country, as to render it doubtful whether decent and honest men will go to (ho next Legisla ture, what, O what is to bo tho result in the rest of th? State ! But if tho present J wretched and rotten condition of our | public affairs is to continuQ, whether honest old Horace Greeloyor Gen. Grant is elected next Prosident, tho General Government will havo to go back cf this thing, and reconstruct again,-lop off this. | hideous mushroom growth of modern republicanism, tako chargo of the grace less senmps that have despoiled our State and disgraced tho nation, and put tho ne groes on a kind of political probation until they can do better in tho business of suflrago and politics. But I promised in my previous lotter from Uris place to say something more about the resources and prospects of this ? beautiful section of South Carolina in a material point of view. Somo porsons, down your way, wcro no doubt dispo sed to indulge in an incredulous smilo when I first mentioned these matters; butthoy may have occasion to find before I am done that I am no visionary dreamer, and know what I am talking about. Within the last few years the produc tion oX cotton has lasgely increcsed in the vicinity of Walhalla and tho upper portion of Oconee County. The original settlers here barely raised enough of the wealth-bearing staple for home consump tion until recently. It was thought that the season in this mountain countiy was too short for this crop to mature and make a remunerative yield. Now that error is fully exploded. You cannot find a farm of any considerable size that is not dotted with one or moro fi elds of | cotton. Tho bottoms as well as tho up lands of this section, produce it, and with tho uso of fertilizers, the yield is often a \ handsome one. I saw the other day on the North-west side of Walhalla, end not I more than half a mile from the limits of I tho town, two pieces of cotton of ?joveral acres each thaf will make nearly a bale to tho acre. The Air Line Railroad, which runs through this beautifal region, and brosses the Blue Ridge Road about seven or eight miles below Walhalla, will soon be com pleted. It is estimated by those best in formed on the subject that it will bo run ning through from Atlanta to Charlotte in less than twelve months. When this splendid outorpriso is completed, it will be a great thoroughfare between the South-West and North-East, and is destined to make this section of South Carolina in no great space of time tho garden spot of the State. From tho Tu galoo to tho historic acclivities of King's Mountain, tho upper tier of Counties, Oconee, Piokons, Greenville, Spartan burg, and a portion of York, will not.be greatly unlike tho famous hanging gar dons " of tho kings of ancient Babylon," in productiveness, prosperity, and beau ty. But I m wt-close for this time. Au ravoir. MOLTKE. [From the At lauta \Sun, lflfA.] A Shocking Dual. Between sundown and dark yesterday afternoon the community was startled by thc announcement that Air. J. H. Town send, a young lawyer of this city, had been shot in a duel by Mr. Houston T. I Force; that Townsend was mortally wound I ed, being shot with a shot gun at a few paces distant; and that ten buck-shots were lodged in Mr. Townsend. It was dillicult to obtain a full and 'satisfactory account ol' the affair, but fruin one or two eye-witnesses to the sad oc currence we glean the following : Our readers no doubt have read the correspondence which appeared in tho Sun, of yesterday. .it seems that no formal challenge was passed, but that Mr. Force and Mr. Hart, principal and second, considered tho note of Mr. Townsend, the second of Mr. Haskell, as indicativo of his willingness to take Mr. Haskell's place ; and having declined to have any further communica tion through Mr. Joseph H. Smith, noth ing remained but for the seconds to ar range the preliminaries for a meeting. Mr. Force's friend was not informed of the approaching meeting, and Mr. Force chose Mr. Orutchneld, of Virginia, as his seeond, Mr. Townsend selecting Mr. Geo. Wallace, of this city, for his second. Shot-gunB charged with, ten buck-shot cartridges were selected, and the parties repaired in carriages to a spot hear the cemetery, Mr. Townsend and Mr. Wal lace, and Mr. Penn Bedell, a friend of Wallace, going in one carriage, and Mr. Force and Mr. Crutehfield in another. Mr. B. W. Briscoe and Dr. W. F. ijrest ? moreland were near the place, and ren I dered assistance after Townsend fell though they did nqt witness the combat. They knew the meeting was contemplated, and went out to try to prevent it-failing in which, they refused to witness the dreadful deed. It was agreed that the antagonists should stand twenty paces apart'with their backs to each other, and wheel 'and fire at th? word. The position and the giving of the word were determined by lot-Townsend winning both, and Wallace, His second, gave the signal. There are various reports about the manner in which the word was given, and the facts were not reliably .ascertained by us. It seems that the word " fire" was not pronounced at all. The most proba ble account of the affair is that Mr. Wal lace cried out : "Are you ready? One two-three !" instead of " Fire ! One two-three !" ; that Mr. Foroe wheeled on thc word "one," and fired before the word " three," but that Mr. Townsend did not wheel promptly from some cause (pos sibly owing to thc failure .to give the word correctly causing him to hesitate.) Mr. Bedell, who was only a spectator, called out saying, " that is wrong, gentle men"-intending to arrest any shot till the word could be correctly given, but ae was too late. It is alleged that several seconds elapsed after Mr. Force had turn ed round before he fired, as if he were waiting for Mr. Townsend to turn, or was also confused by the improper ward given, and was hesitating. 'How all this was we do not know. We do not give all the re ports we heard-only the one which seems most likely to be correct. Be this as it may, Mr. Townsend re ceived the contents *of Mr. Force's gun as he turned round, in his left shoulder andarm, and some of-the shot-entered his body behind the arra.

The Latter Day Saints, with their in tense following of the Mosaic law, have not been exempt from thc ancient scourges of that period. The locust, with " a gar den "of Eden before him, and behind him a desolate wilderness," makes a periodical visit to the Mormon farmers, and reminds them of the old times when the chosen of the Lord brought a like visitation on the obdurate Egyptians. Thc llights'of these ravenous destroyers were thus described to me by an eye-wit ness and a fellow-traveler. " I was called out one morning," he oegan, " while stopping at one of these, settlements we have just'left behind, by my farmer host. The locusts were com-, ing, he said, and all hands were engagod in endeavoring to save the cornfields. A man who had ridden in great haste from . a district some twenty miles East, reported that the morcets were at work, and might be expected at our placc next morning. I hurried out and found every man, woman and child in the place fortifying their crop against the invader. Some were .digging ditches and turning the .waters ol' tho nearest stream into the dyke, while others were piling up dry brushwood, ready to be ignited when the enemy approached. Again others brought a sort of draught machine on tho ground, fitted with revolv ing fans, the wind of which was supposed to be able to check the flight of the locust. And the utmost dismay and consternation prevailed. "Tho day passed in the utmost activity. No lady in the village was disengaged. She felt the danger, and, at the same time, a certain inability to combat with what the superstitious regarded (and all Mor mons are superstitious) as a visitation from the Lord. " About noon the< next day they per ceived a dark cloud ia the East, and they knew that the moment of trial was at hand. I could give no idea of the num ber and voracity of the locusts. Every blade of grass, every ear of corn, every weed and. leaf of verdure disappeared like stubble in the fire befere these terrible gourmands. From aoout the height of fi ve. feet to the ground, the air was danae with their masses. They flew in our faces like hail, filled our pockets, and were piled in heaps about our, feet. The wo men and children and men formed a rank before the corn field, and endeavored to beat them back, but although the slain were piled up ?nany feet high, the' locusts never wavered a moment, but pressed on, eating and dying and rotting in disgust ing charnel heaps. The water courses were full of t hem, and the survivors cross ed the stream over the dead bodies of their vanguard. The dry brush was lighted and burned fiercely, fed by. clouds of the destroying armies, but in a few hours the . ! throng extinguished tne name ana crown ed on over tho cinders to the doomed corn fields. The hogs and chickens were lett loose on the destroyer, but they soon grew satiated with the feast, and still the locusts pressed on. And when at last the des pairing farmers' withdrew and gave up the fight, all that night tho locusts fell on their roofs like hailstones and crawled in through every n^ok and crevice in their dwellings. " The next morning when they, arose at daylight'to inspect the extent of their damages, a woeful sight presented itself. The country was indeed a waste ; months .of hard labor and hopes of a handsome return from the crops had .faded away as the blade of grass-before the locust ; not a tra^c reniai ned . to i ndicate that the seed, had over been planted, or that a grand tract of swaying grain glistened in. the sunbeams on the morning ' before. But patiently the work was recommenced/while the locusts passed on- their westwardcourse of .desolation. The Indian? had- a rich feast. To the red man's palate a roast ef | locusts is a delioioas treat.
