A Sugestion. - Would inot be s well for our planters to put in a little more cotton than they did last year, ant up to.the limit, or even beyond. It might prove a wise measure in tle, end.. If peace is made, cotton -,will be scarce. and the deniand great, while provisions will be abundant and cheap. Should'we have no peace, nothing will be lost by the planting of it, for if we be over, run, it will make no difference how much oi lin'e i& planted. ThiLk of it planters. Complimentary. "It was lately stated, at an English Bible As Saoiation anniversay, that a calclulation had been made respecting the pi-oportionate value of the services of gentlemen and ladies as collectors for charitable and religious purposes, and it was found that one lady was worth thirteen gentle men and a half." Our devil says "bully"for theladies; his mother. was one. He imputes this immense- superiority to their sweetness of tongue and bright eyes, having felt their effect himaelL epartmeuta at Newberry. 4s an item of information it may be well to notice that maj. Motte A. Piing1 is located 'here as. Post Quartermaster of FieldTranportation. ' Capt. Rheti, Quartermaster of Forage . Depart -ment, Capt. G. P. Elliot4pPost Commissary, and W. W. Walker, Coimissry Agent, for the col lection of suplies. We are-Vappy to state that these departments culd fiot have been better illed, and that these gentlemen are kind, affable and atentive to business, as all ill admit who have occasion to test the truth Ait. The Legislture. in pursuance of a call of his Excellency the Goterior, this body did not meet in sufficiens strength to constitte a qwrum, and the few who met moved almost immediately an adjournment. We understand that Newberry was represented *thus-0. Where are they, what doing, or what afraid of?. One, it is said, declared that if there was a probability of a quorum he would ge, sim ply to prevent, iftpbssible, anything foolish being -done, but there was ne~ quorum, and he remained af holme. .A few sensible things nilght-have been done, we. affirm, but alas for the' timnes there was io meeting, or rather no transaction of business. The large prptons madrpprintaiibn ad to nothing, and the feeling call for provisionst -obstantialanddelicate, which of itself ought to lrerprved fn inducement, failed utterly' to the body together. -Sic twanit.

We regret to learn, notwithstanding tLe armis -tie, or suspension of hostilitieg, that: the peace was broken on yesterday, by a fewe followers- of) that reprobate renegade, John Ba.rley Corn., The combatants, five in number on one side, and o.e on the other, forge/,ful of all else but the fire rag-1 hig'withi'n, rush.ed to the charge, and for a while 'the skrimmage was lively. The weaker party s.ucceeded in wounding two of his .opponents, but * would have yielded to odds had not a tinAiy re inforoemnent come up.

Lee's army, who have passed 1hrough your town, to the,good people of South Carolina for their'kindness to us. We left Aypomattox C. H., on the 1-3th, where we had been for some days, without anything to eat except green:beef, and barely enough of that to sustain- life. Foot-. sore, tired, and wizb heavy and siff hearts, but by no. means subdued or conquered,- we started for our homes in various parts of the Confedera cy, and trudged on without rations through. Vir giula'and North Carolina. So -weak and tired, that but:for the hope of getting home, the phy sical man must, iave given. way. - Without trans portation, except as we pressed -it, we passed through N. C., and -crossed the Catawba into South Carolina,, there finding a train of cars wait ing to convey a freight of toil-worn -and weary veterans The condz'etor was kind and saw, that all had seats. Arriving in Chester, we were imet by grey haired fathers,.who extended their hands in friendship, teling us to- go to the Commissary and get rations, that there was plenty for us, and' then that:the ladies would cook thein. We re mained that-nigbt, and there bing no '.railkoad, rarched S3 milea on'the way to New6erry. When we -learned that by going to Hope Statief we could ride 1I miles. Going -there we. found it 'so, and took cars for Newberry. Arriving there we went to the Hotel, but could find -io cerk or any one totell us if we could-have su per. Three of us then sought. tor,a private house, and calling at Mrs. Dr. E., were invited in, had supper, good iddging, and breakfaitnext m'orn ing,.for all of which the kind lady refusedvany pay. May God's ble.;:'g. always .e with her and her sweet little children, atlso her good~ mother-in-law., Taking cars '.gain we ran to' reenwbod, where the' good la<is'hbad dinner prepared for us. 'God bless the ladies, again II say. Many of us soldiers are single men, .and might do wel to come~ back to S. C. for a wife.
