On Sunday night last, BILLY a slave of Col. F. 31. M.LLF.TT killed DoNAS one of his fellow servants. At the time of in diting this his trial had not been had and of course we cniniot say whether it was ustifiable hanicide or not. The following its the finding 6f tihe Jry of Inquest: "IDo. nas was killed, or came to his death, at the plantation of F. M. ME.LLETT by ;in instru ineta in the form of a slab or piece of plank in thr hands of BILLY slave of the said F. M.

WVe would also retmitnd you of a suggestion which has beei numde and published somnetimen ago itn the Banner, to wit.: that you have at each election precinct a biox, aippropriately labeled to re ceive contrihutions f onm all who may be disposed, to contribute towards compdleting the Mmunment now in con temlplation of being crected int honor of JousN C. CA.Itous. We give place to an article in this weeks issue signed " Conisistency," which calls upon the voters of Clare mont " to vote for gentlemen " who w onid scorn to treat for v'otes. WVe woud itnfer fromn the tenor of this piece that there are sonme among the c ankidates who are stoopin~g to this detesta!>le practice which is fast demor -alizing our people and destroying the * purit y of the ballot box. Oif the truth orj fblsity of' the inferenuce we knmow nthinig, for we have butt jiast returned ?o rir post aft er some weeks oabsence. * nor have' we alny kntowledge to which ol the candidates, ifrany, it miay allude, but if it is true that some or any of' thme candidates aedeimoral izing them tiee we unite in earnestly urging upon ou~*.. r people to reflect well before they ctst their votes for those who tmust have the true good of their country and oftheir tneighbors so little at heart.

Since last we labored for your edifica tion and amuseIneit, we have rambled over a good deal of country, seen ma ny things and enjoyed much which we wish you could have participated in we have returned to our post with renewed spirits and energy and with a deterniiation to spare neither pains, nor time nor labor, in making the Ban. ner an acceptable companion at the fireside of all who wilL perinit its weekly visits. You shall all be well posted up in the current news of the day, notified ofyour true interest and advantage so fir as we can discern, and edified and anused as much as the means at our disposal will permit. In return for this we ask that you will assist us in improving our paper. This you can do in several ways. By in creasing our subscription list. By giving us as much advertising and job work as you can, and principally by sending unsfrequently 1com Iu nications on interesting subjeots. This last we especially ineite to the columns of the Banner. Tle WsCl.tCrna MiIs. The LCrotinian of the 29th ult., Savs: "We received no Augusta papers last 6%vL-iing. We have received no papers west of Augusta for nearly two weeks. This is inexplicable to us, as we per ceive the New OrIcans papers are re ceived in CharlestMd, nWt id points north of us. Tlhere is a scr&w Ilo'e soinewhere." Yes, there is indeed a screw lo6sc somcwhere on this line. We know from personal knowledge, of letters being mailed in Georgia over a week ago and directed to persons in this place, which have not reached us yet. Now, we would be inuch disposed to make allowances for our atlicted brethren in Augusta if the failure originated with thein, but does it? Ve opine not. There is a regular distributing ofice attached to each mail car and it is the distributing ofli cer's duty to see that the mail is for. warded to the prope- places and at the proper time. If this is not done it ought to be looked after by tho proper authoI ity. Whilo speaking of the Western Mailwe would remark that nuel tiic and inconvenience to the public might be saved, if there was not such an unnecessary delay and loss of time !i!Au.gsta Why c. h n not the nail lie forwarded irnimedi ately ? And why detain passengers at Augusta, as we nre informed they are, from two to four hours ? The'se are great inconveniences to say the least to the country at large, and ought to be remnedied. If it is a mere pretext by which to benefit the people of Augusta it is an outrage that ought to be put a stop to at once, and we hope the l'ost Master Gene ral will take the proper steps to do so. EIcction Laws. We copy frm the Carolinian certain extracts fromt the election laws, for tho in formation of th~e manaigers. WVe coma mend thern to their attention and hope that they will see that they are strictly enforced at the enisuing election. Th'fe purity of the ballot box--that grea't sofeguard ofC our liberty is in a great ineas ure intrusted in the hands of the miana gers of elect ions. With firm Conscien ionur and- impartial managers our dis. trict will be saved from many of the abus es and inino rahitica which we are sorry to have toasay are parevaihug ini sonme of our districts.

"The New York Herald sometime since bent circulars throughout the country iii brder to obtain rom relia. ble sources statements of' the condition of the crops in the dif'erent States of the Union. The result has been that the prospect of a plentil'ul year is fir more ifvornble than has been generally supposed. Indeed, we have long since ceased to place much confidence in the reports which are circulated almost every year of a fifilurc iii the crop-. The interest of the producer is calcu lated to induce him to -misrepresent the facts in order that ta.e price of his produce may be thereby proportion ately increased. And even if there be an honest intention to represent the truth fairly, there is a tendency on the part ofevery agriculturist to depieciate his crops whenever he has beui par. tially disappointed. The llerald announces that the wheat, crop in Upper Ciada has been unprecedented, and that the supplies for exportation to the United States will be unusually large. Fron many sources too, we learn that the grailn crop in England has been immense. Large tracts of country have yielded an average of thirty bush. Is to the acre, and in some cases the enormous yield of sixty bushels has been real ized." The above, which we copy flrom the Carolinian, must be gratifying to our ccuntry, at large, and we do not mean, by wihIt, we are about to say, to (e tect from the merit of the article, yet we would not have our people lulled into fancied ease and security or our favored community cozened out of their advantages by statements which though true in the main, yet do not apply strictly and directly to us. The large crops made in England and at the Aorth (if true) must lesson the demand for grain in those countries %'hich have hitherto done a larger ex porting business and must too to some extent eflfect the price of fbod all over our country ; but it cannot effect us much. The crops throughout Ten. nessee and Kentct-ky and the greater portion of Georgia and North Carolina -our neighbors and the great grain markets of our Southern country have almost been a total fiilure. We speak knowingly, for we have recently passed through these States with the exception of Kentucky, and our inqui. ries c->neerning the crops in that State were particular and made to those who had the best opp ortunities of knoring, and the unanimous testimony was that there had not been more than a half crop made. In fact so little corn has been made throughout Tennessee and in portions of Kentniioky tilt ;n some places- it could not tie haI at any price. And as an evidence too of its scarcity we noticed that the majority of the Ihrmers were not fatning their hogs-the great staple. of these coun tries-for market. ; but on the contrary a general willingness was manifest, to dispose of their steck at from 2 to 2 1 2 cents per pound. These evidences are not to be mistaken. Whatever then may be the truth ot these newspaper reports as to the large crops in Eng. land auid at fthe North it can but be wise in us to hold on to our grain and pork until we are better satislied that they are not to reach a higher price than for years past. Sumitter Distriet has to a great extent been blessed with a bonntifulh grain crop and now that an oppiortulnity of reaping a rich reward is held out ahead it would be lfoll y in our people to rush into the market and destroy their chances when so many evidces of coming scarcity are all aroundl theim.

If those diffiering from Orr had ceased to attend his harrangnca, no dilliculty would have ever occurred.
