A member of the Johnson Hides handed us the following communication which we take pleasure in publishing: Some time back at a meeting of the Johnson I lilies a committee of five was appointed to confer with the Pea Kidge'Rifles and ask that a committee from that Company he appointed to discuss the advisability of having a jojnt encampment of the Companies during the Summer at some point between Union and Kelton. The V oa Ridiro Hides nromntlv ? 7v^ _ ? o i > responded muL on Friday the J 2th last, The co'mmittce^consisting of Messprt Otts. liittiei'^elley, Haniand Hancock of the Pea Ridge ltifles, 'and. Messn* Hunter, McGownn, M,ullinaxand Hancock of tho Johnson Rifles met in the office of W/n. Me Gowan. Aftet* considerable "discussion ii was resolved that the companies 50 into camp on Tuesday the dOth. uly and break camp on Saturday the 8rd day of August, continuing in camp five days. This time was found to be the most suitable from \he fact that tin- gwjateryftimber of the lVa Judge Rifles \vei*e fanners and tiicir crops would he finished then, and the encampment would be over before the first Monday'in August when some of the Officers of the Johnson Rifles Svonld have to go to the 1 .

Tlic number ol' <icliii.|tient polls in tin; State allows | cruaps more clearly .than anything else conM, the condition of the poorer classes of the people of the State. The number of delinquent polls this year seems to be much birovr lli;ni h-is boon kii iwn iii several years. And this is the state of affairs in the ace of tlie fnTrt that the laws in re*. t d _*n-v , , ' v J-** ? * payment ot poll tax are mere ruiiugont this year than ever before, flfc the law is rigid*' en forced a.- it stands on the statute b oiks, many a poor fellow who cannot rai-e the ueecs.-arv amount will have to spend a short time in jail. Just to give some idea of how many [ delinquent poll taxpayers thft^v?re. it may he mentioned that irwythe county of Marlboro alone, the report is sent up to the Comptroller General that there are exactly 1.000 delinquents. The trial justices there the other day made requisition lot 100 poll tax warrant Id inks. Yesterday they made reqitiA'tioii for 000 m >:e. Instead of jetting just ?1.000 to the State tli.fe p<?l!s, if paid <ow will net some ?~?.000. In Sumter the condition is ev? n worse.
