It would l>e I'lritsnnl if \v<> could in all things agree with our friend of tlie /V&v and Manner. Since, however, tlmt is r>r>t possible ; and since we too have assumed to he, in pari, the representative and exponent of the people unions whom we live, it becomes our duly to notice and reply to an article contained in the last issue of the f'rcxs and Jimtver, which does a great injustice to our people and our section. Basing its indictment upon the report of the recent killing of a negro hy a policeman in Laurens, and the killing of one in Mecklenburg, NT C'., it proceeds to arraign the white people of this section on the c.hnrgeof Killing negroes "at their own swr-el will, or on the slightest provocation." Although the published facts show that the white men who were actors in the two tragedies which have stirred the foundation of our neighbor's pity, were held blameless, the ZVcn.y ami Hamicr resumes that the papers which published these facts have wilfully falsified the f icts, and that the negroes were brutally shot down in col I blood, and asserts in substance that this is noarlv alwavs the i rase in encounters between whites and blacks. Perhaps we would not have frit impelled to notice this article if the people of Abbeville* had not born specifically Included in this sweeping arraignment, in the following language : "It is a disgrace to our civilization that tlies'* poor, helpless creatures may be wantonly killed at any time with perfect iinpuniiy, and the Charlotte Olmc.rrer may cease to make any pretensions for nn equal Administration of the laws if such killing is to go unpunished. We claim no exemption of blame for Alibevillu County or this .Judicial Circuit if there has been dereliction in the prosecution of white men for the killing of negroes, and we believe no white man has ever sutiered for any assault upon a liegm, although numbers of them have been slain." We are not the apologist of criminals, and we defend?no man who wantonly and without provocation commits murder. But we promptly and earnestly raise our voices against this wholesale anaiirnment nf the unnnL. ..f o ..-1...I., I .suction, upon belief and supposition. It has long been a favorite theory of the editor of the Jy re.su ami I'tanner that 'the true province of tin: journalist is to give the J'ttcfs of every matter it discusses. Lei him g:ve to the public sonic fuels to account for his strange opinions .and remarkable charges against tin , white people of this County. Our contemporary a fleets to helievi that negroes are systvtn.ilic.illy ami constantly shot down by whi'.c iii.m without 'pretext or color. Now since we have lived in this community we can recall but two instances in which negno-s has been killed by white men, and that was done in self defence. On the contrary the cases of homicide that have heci! tried within tint time have been of while men who killed while men, mid .negroes who killed negroes. Our neijih:hor knows that the lynching that occur red here a year ago, was universally condemned and denounced. Moreover, as lh:? (ireunville Xeic.t says, deadly encounters are not a'.it to occur between white and biack men, unless tlio lattei nre the aggressors. If a negro offends a white man?he cannot insult liiinsel'*, hecause h is his inferior?the white man punishes the otr.-nce immediately and jwrsonsilly, and it is very sehlont thai recourse is had to deadly weapons. Our contemporary assumes that there is a taeit :;;:re?Mnet.t on the part of the .Courts and juries to let go srott-free every white man who assaults a negro and to punish every negro who assaults a while man. At the last term of the N Court for this County a negro who was indicted for an assault committed against ft white man was acquitted hy a jury composed wholly of while men. The evidence was strong against him hut the <N 'jury gave him the benefit of tin; douht. At every term of our Court negroes nre .defended for every grade of offense by able counsel, without reward or the hope of reward. We shall alwavs nrnmnflv tnin <v?r? V - I 1*-v J" ' t,,v Prow find lit inner in the denunciation of unprovoked and wilfull murder, but wo shall judge each ease upon its particular state of facts. ^ To thin charge of murder, to which a people who have ever Wen bravo, generous and kind, are brought to answer at the bar ?>f the public opinion of the whole country, we enter an earnest plea Ol" "not guilty." INAUGURATION. <iov. Thompson and lit.-Ciov. Shoppard wore inaugurated for thoir second, term in the presence of the General Assembly and the Supreme Court, and the ludges of the Circuit and U.S. Courts, and many visitors on last Thursday. Gov. Thompson has made a wise, conservative and faithful Chief Executive, ami in entering for the second time npnn the duties of oflicc to which he was eler.tod without solicitation or desire on his part, he has the pleasant knowledge that he possesses the love and conliflenco of the people.

The present legislature is nn exception to ils predecessors in its pnlicv ? ??* iienuriousness to the militia. Kverv sensible mail mils' know that our emergency ami need of nn armed force will com<! suddenly ninl without warning, il it comes at all, anil that in tlint enierjrcncy tin- v<11 hi* of i veil a small ilrilluil ami ' ?! 11i|>(>; I force accustomed to ohey, t<? stem tin? tide of riot or disoroer till the posse of County ran be raised, is very great.. And we know whereof we speak when we say that the hiinlen of expense of keeping up militia organizations is no lip.lit one to the members thereof. Nevertheless, if or Legislators think there is no need of such organizations then let them abolish the whole mili- : tary branch of the State government, ami have done with the farce of trying 1 to keep up ;i militia without ?id from the State.

And intimates that the State ought to finish the State House as it has money to upend on big Universities and Canals. We a^ree with h;tu that the State House ought to be finished, and as he is himself a Legislator let him take the matter in hand, and with his energy and influence carry to completion that which has long been only talked about.

Like the traditional gods of the thea rie.il jinllery, these goddesses of the legislative gallery were the most appreciative element of Mr. Farrow's audience. The hill, said Mr. Farrow, wis meant for the protection of the character of women. The law degrades the I institution of marriage when it stoops to | weigh the da.'itiges which she lias sustained l?y the failure of a man to carry out his promise to marry her. The violation of any such promise was no damage to a virtuous woman. [Sensation among the goddesses.] A woman who I was so treated bj- a man was rather to (lie congratulated upon her escape from an unworthy partner, ind the taking of | the case into Court had a demoralizing j tendency. There was more in this bill, continued Mr. Farrow, than was apparent and while he bowed to the wisdom | of the judiciary committee who had reported it adversely, he trusted that the ! House would consent to its continuance 1 until the next session.

Ko othor complaints are so insidious in tholr attack as thoso affecting tho throat and lungs: none so trifled with by tho majority of sufferers.

" In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a torriblo cough.aud passed eight after night without sleep. The doctors gavo mo up. i tried Ayer'b Cherry Pbctoral, which relieved my luugs, induccd sleep, and afforded mo the rest necessary for tho recovery of my strength.
