Jiessi's. Jbaitors: n tnere is no oo-1 jection I will send you a few dots. I The cold and dry weather here ltive I held the crops in chcck very much, i The corn is not looking as well and the ! stand of cotton not so irood as it gen-1 w j erally is at this time. The peach crop ; so fur is good, but apples are scarce. The wheat and oats crop is very fine, j The latter, especially, as far as I can j loarn is extra. Some complain of rust; in the wheat, but not to do much harm j so far. I hope the success of the small grain this year will encourage the j planters to take hold still stronger next season. V?'e have very eouveni-! ent to the wheat-growing region one : of the best flour mills in the State, j owned by J. C. Swygert & Bro.. which : is in excellent running order, under I the management of an experienced ; miller, who is a courteous gentleman | who is doing .business promptly and i "politely for all who give him a call. The roads leading to the mill have been , put in'good order for the convenience I of anv who irfhv wish such work done.! The advantages of a water mill for j grinding flour over a steam mill are a |, consideration, where a good turnout I. aud good quality are desired, because j of the uniform speed of its motion, j This is the old Lakin mill, where there j is one of the best water powers on j; Broad Eiver for the purposes of mills or factories, and why should it not be , pur there as well as other places? We would be glad if these young men would raise sufficient capital to start a cotton spinning and weaving opera- , tion there, as the water power can be increased to any amount desired with little expense or trouble. The shoal abounds in fish easily caught in. the sein, and the grove offers facilities for picnic dinners, where there is a spring of excellent water and the railroad very convenient.

Editors: Wc are harvesting I our oats crop, which is the finest seei for years. Wheat is said to be wel filled, notwithstanding1 the early appearance of rust, but it has been confined mostly to the blades. Your correspondent, W. E., seem? surprised at my simple views of what the "Corner" wants. I am equally so at W. E. talking about olden times when a few citizens in the townships and county performed the duties ol civil officers. Either Major So-and-so or Captain So-and-so attended to all the settling up of estates and so 011. Now, we have a very large number ot citizens since the bottom rail has been removed?if not on top it would like to be. With this vast number of citizens occupying the situations they do, harboring the belief they do, that what they can steal and conceal is right, and with the great inducements that are offered them by the seed-cotton and produce traffic, make it a necessity to have litigation, and as long as cheap evidence under the leadership of some professional wag is continued it becomes more and more necessary to have {he strong arm of justice ami law near at hand. AVe are all liable to be witnesses or jurymen, and even prosecuted and forced to ride time and again to Winnsboro to see the case set aside by some little technical error in the prosecution or the keeping out of sight some educated witness, thereby putting" off from time to time to evade common justice by the legal way. Let us forget the things which are behind us, look forward to the things which are before us, and press forward towards the mark. As to the kind of men we would like to send to the Legislature, that is a matter that could be attended to after the birth of our new county. Of course we would expect to take our place in line with our sister Democratic county. As long as the cloud of corruption is so near in our rear wc will be l'orced to unanimity or concert of action. Wc have no one with us that we want to boast of his legislative qualities, but believe we could find enough good men within our bounds to protect our common interests, if this new county couid be fortr.ed and tlie court-house bu:!t on tlie west sulo of Broad Uiver at Shel ton's ferry, it would bo surrounded by a good tanning country very convenient to transportation either by rail or water. It . would very soon be one of the very best cotton and provision markets known to the up country? overriding the little expense of building the necessary public buildings. Saying -nothing of the legal conveniences, it would be a irreat benefit. We have water power here beyond estimate,'" suitable for factories and mills of all descriptions. As to fishing on the Broad and Sandv rivers, there is not much jn that, except to increase laziness and want. As to the terms of office I believe the whole thing should be doubled, at least the terms of the Governor and the legislators, and I Lruess every office-holder in county or State will agree with me. If we had had the old Continentals E. spoke about ni urnnts auimmsirruion. ana they had persisted in their former way ;is in old times, they would ro-dav. been serving out a sentence in ^ing Sing, or long since been dancing in the air with a hemp scarf around their neck.

Bidgkway, June 2.?Tlie hard rain and wind of Wednesday afternoon?a rain hard to beat in quantity of water falling per minute?did considerable damage to the farmers by blowing down their small grain. The frequent showers are not favor; ">le to the har vest season, upon which we have fully entered. Muscle and a knowledge of how to throw a cradle and tie a bundle of grain are at a premium now. None need lounge in the market places these spring days pleading "no man hath hired us." The reaper has not visited this section yet. Farmers are afraid of it until they can see it in successful operation. One farmer has bought one, but rumor says he is in the same fix with it that the farmer was in who .. In/.lr o c spent il i ctlil V UU> 11"\ lli^ 1113 iuvrw <*o an amateur clock tinker. After he had taken the old family clock to pieces he found that, put it together as he would there was one wheel too many. The report of the fanners about the grain crop is that it is good?a large acreage and an abundant yield. The wheat prospect is better than a few weeks ago. Rust is confined to the blade and 011 niauv farms the blade is spared. *r> Al\Anf Avni? in UUltUU AC* 1IWWI/ vr?w * * some places, but in others?the larger portion too?much cotton is unchopped. It looks well since sunshine and shower has superseded the untimely cool weather, which insisted on taking spring from us. The lint prospect is much improved. Corn looks well. A man about five miles fro in Kidgeway is talking about laying by some. Not much corn in the country, I ween, so far advanced as that. The planters hereabouts are not heavy corn planters. The lien victim, of course, has 110 option, but those who can do somewhat as they think best say oats pay much better. Good gardens are plentiful and are a subject of boast. Several claim to be in the superlative. Business is dull except on Saturdays. This shows that tlie fanners stay'at home and attend to their crops. They s^e n to be in good spirits and speak cheerfully of the prospect. No fault of labor, seasons or soil is comparable to the credit system as a barrier to agricultural prosperity. To buy corn and meat, at the present high cash prices is financial ruin to the fanners, but to buy these indispensable articles at the rate charged by the supply merchant on time is to sell themselves and their land {'or bread, and they and their lands will be servants unto Pharaoh. Some few farmers are rising above tliis state of things, and it is to be hoped that fair seasons and a good crop will place a large number of them beyond the necessity of Inn ing on credit at all and all of them beyond the necessity | oi buying ou a ruinous ciedit. "\V< e must not look upon the supply mer- j chants as harpies devouring the be>t of i !- j the bamjivit and returning curses in j e answer to protestation. The better I e ! part of them wish that business were on a '-a?h brtsis, but times being as they i j ' arc they make the best of them.

The | reporter of the JYew and Courier has j . ' given so full and accurate an account j 3 i of the affair, that cannot do better than I ; ; reproduce it entire as follows: H'ixxsboko, June 3.?One of the | [ most fiendish outrages ever committed j ; in* Fairfield couiitv has been terriblv j " * I r \ avenged. * I Tin* ftircnmstanccs attending" the! I ! assault have been detailed, and are | _ j bri-jfly these: About sundown on _ I We dnesday evening Mrs. Rains went; i to i he spring1 near her house to get a ! . j bucket of water. After she had filled ; . j her bucket and was about returning to ! the hou?c, Caleb Campbell, a colored j . maapproached ner, threw his arms around her neck, and dashed her to j , the ground. Mrs. Rains resisted, cried j i for help, and after struggling on the ! I ground for five or ten minutes, the j negro lett without accoinplishing his .I villainous purpose, being frightened; : away by sounds of an approaching i j wagon. | As soon as tlic news of the assault i was known in the community a num; ber of persons were arrested and ; brought before Mrs. Rains for identification. When Caleb Campbell was ! brought before her he was instantly j identified as the person committing the ; assault. Jle was taken before Trial J Justice J. D. Jloirun on Monday hist, I and after a preliminary examination, i was regularly committed to jail for trial at. the next Court of Sessions for j this county, which will be convened ( i on next Monday.

Last night, i ! between 12 and 1 o'clock, a party of j eighty men rode into Winlisboro. and j j going to the jail told the sheriff they j | ; had a prisoner for him. Not suspect- | , i ing that anything was wrong the sheriff i1 j opened the door, when he was seized j 1 ; by several men and roughly thrown to ; ' i the floor. On trying to summon help j : a saddle cloth was thrown over his ) head to prevent any outcry. In spite ! } of the sheriff's protests and resistance J | his pockets were searched and the key j < ' secured to the door leading to the third ( I story of the building where flie cells j' ; are situated. A number of the men ; , j went n p stairs and exirtnined the eel is j' 1 asking at each cell who occupied it. 1 I They forced open the cell in which ! ! / J 1 ti'n? .11 fit ui/1 As? 1 Viu.;ifJU*;Ii up mmuuix/U. own i ? lie ivas led out into tiie corridor a pair j ; of handcuffs was promptly clasped 11 \ around hi? wrists, and lie was taken ! \ out of jail into the street and mounted i < ; on a mule, in front of one of tlie visd- ; lance committee. A rope was placed | around Campbell's neck, and with one , end in.the ha mis" of two men who rode . on cither side ox the doomed man the : ni<f it-riders left town in a irallop, ( j rCding at full 'speed down tlic Oolumj bia read *o a point about three miles 1 below AVinnsborc. There the mule on j ' which the prisoner was mounted was . ridden under a larire post oak tree, and jJ , llJC lUJJC iiumiiu m* uuirt vv ujiuwii ! over a convenient limb and secured to | a p: ire tree standing within a few feet, j The mule was then led out and Caleb was left hanging between heaven and i ear:h. ; '1 lie men who did the work rode , ; away quietly, and when the sheriff I reached the place of execution, only a ] i short time after the deed was done. t ! there was nothing to he seen hut Caleb r Campbell's body slightly swaying in the cool night air, stone dead. i 'J he whole plot for the lynching of J ; thi> man was evidently well planned, i a'id the programme was carried 01:t c wi:h military precision?ail the vigi- l lan s wore masks, or had blackened their faces, and some of them were covered with sheets. On reaching 1 town they posted pickets at several points and halted several parties, but the whole business was done with so much quietness and order that many of the citizens who lived directly on f | the streets-through which the strange j cavalcade rode was not awakened out of their sleep. . When the party left the jail they locked the doors so as to prevent the escape of the other prisoners. As soon as the sheriff was released he went to the ii.tcndant of the town, J. J. 2seil, for counsel and assistance,and <J I as soon as he could ?et his horse sad- , died, set out with his deputy in pursuit of the raiders. On passing Major ] T. \Y. Woodward's residence, about three miles from Winnsboro, the 1 sheriff stopped and called for help. , Major Woodward joined the sheriff' and went down to tlio spot wnere ( Campbell was hanging. Major Woodward examined the body and found 110 * signs of life and he and the sheriff cut t the rope and lowered the body gentlv to the ground. The sheriff shut the t negro's eyes, put his tongue back into his mouth and loosening the rope *' around his neck left the corpse on the ( ground until this morning, when an inquest was held by the coroner, t George S. llinnant. When the sheriff reached Campbell he found a small placard pinned to his clothing containing the following . words: "Our mothers, wives and sis tors shall be protected, even with our lives.77 At the inquest to-day, after examining a number of who testified to the materia! Tacts as related above, the jury, of which Mr. J. II. Ctimmings was foreman, rendered a verdict that "Caleb Campbell was killed and mur- " dered by hanging by some person or ]>crsons to the jury unknown." A 1 crowd of ab >ut one hundred people was present at the inquest. When I reached the scene of the hanging to-day, the coroner and jury j had gone, but several white men and I a stolid group of some twenty negroes I were discussing tlic outrage and the 1 : execution. The body of Caleb Camp-1 : boll was lying under the shade of a j j low pine bush twenty-five steps from J I the post-oak gallows, covered with | pine brush to keep the flies away a*.i<l j j to hide his face from tlie pass< s-by. ! His lace wore a calm and placid look, i Ills lips were sliiflitlv open and his t ; limbs were stiff with death. The dead ; man wore an unlaundried shirt with linen front, a white cotton vest and a pair of lavender colored pataloons.; j He had no shoes upon his feet and his j arms were lying under him socurciy j j held by the hand cutis which hart not | I been removed. There were no marks ! I of violence upon his person, and the rope with which he had been hanged i ! had only bruised the flesh around his j neck. J)eath, according to the medi-! j cal examination which was made by Dr. Ira T. Smith at the inquest, rei suited from strangulation. The rope i with which the hanging was done was a halt-inch cotton rone, such as i* rn>n I i erallv used tor plough lines, and to I | make.sure of the result this rope was '-doubled. The fatal noose in this case i 4 was an ordinary slipknot which only iiitfl drew more lightly the greater the resistance. .. . .. The negroes who were present: at the inquest did not exhibit any feelinjr, I and one of the members of St. Clark's Baptist Clmrch (colored) was u?will| ing that the body should be burifcd in the churchyard. Tiie friends of the victim made no demand for the bodv. which was buried in a county coffin just under the limb upon which lie paid the penalty for his awful crime. Campbell was a stout negro about 1 went.}-two years old and bore a bad character, having once committed an outrage on a young negro woman and being suspected of a villainous assault on another white lady. Although the more conservative portion of the community regret the resort to popular violence, still no one doubts that Campbell fully merited the justice which has been measured out to him. There is no doubt that he committed tne assault on Mrs. Bains. The evidence again?t him was overwhelming Mini oniwlnsivA. The terrible sirU/yle with her assailant has resulted iu^a premature birth, and 1 understand this evening1 that the lady is in a critical condition. J. c. :a. Death of Eight Heroic Men.?Our correspondent at Atherstone teL-graphs that eight of the gallant men Jwho attempted the rescue of the imprisoned colliers at lJaxterlev have died of the injuries they received and that four or five others arc not expected to recover. Tiie attempted rescue was one of those heroic efforts for which men seem always to be ready when the call for them cuii.es. A number of men working nearly a mile underground from the pit's mouth were cut off bv a fire ~1 ?- ! i-- t.. u* \Y!Hi;ii uiuku uut iu<.u ?<?.> tlicin and the shaft. As soon as their perilous position was known, Mr. Dugdale, the owii& of the mine, Mr. Parker, the manager, his son, with Mr. C.Day, the head deputy, and two of his sons and several ether perso?* descended to explore. While they were down several explosions occurred, from which all but three escaped with much injury. At once another group descended. Among these were Mr. Stokes, the inspector of mines, Mr Spruce, engineer, Mr. Marsh, of Hallend. and Mr- T. H. Mortram. They were able to rescue Mr. Dugdale and the two men who, like him, had failed to escape, Mr. C. Chetwynd, a volunteer from Hall-end College, specially distinguished himself. Among the eight men who have succumbed to the injuries inflicted by the explosion a:e two sons of tne courageous neaci deputy, Charies Day, who accompanied both exploring parties. All these men deserve the fullest public recognition i)t" their self-devotion. Services such us they have rendered throw a gleam i?f light on the gloomy record of indus! rial calamities. The courage which such deeds demand is of the very . highest order. It is true heroism. The terrible risks winch these exploring parties run must be obvious enough to I he men who face them, but it is only in cases such as the present, in which i i the lives which are so readily offered j lire cut off, that the general public has :m opportunity of learning what blood ' fetched from father of war proof"' flows in the veins of the ''noblest English*' among our industrial population. ?London Daily Xews.

It will cure Heart Disease, Paralysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Consumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all similar diseases. Its wonderful curative power is simply because it purifies and enriches the blood, thus beginning at the foundation, and by building up the system, drives out all disease. A Lady Cured of Rheumatism. Ttaitlmore. Md_. Mav n. My health was much shattered by Rheumatism when I commenced taking Brown's Iron Bitters, and I scarcely had strength enough to attend to my daily household duties. I am now using the third bottle and I am regaining strength daily, and I cheerfully recommend it to all. I cannot say too much in praise of it. Mrs. Maky E. Brashear, 173 Prestmanst. Kidney Disease Cured. Christiansburg, Vx, 18S1. Suffering from kidney disease, from whicn I could get no relief, I tried Brown's Iron Bitters, which ^ cured me completely. A child of mine, recovering from scarlet fever, had no appetite and did not seem to be able to cat at alL Igavehimlroo Bitters with the happiest results. J. Kvls Montague, Heart Disease. Vine St., Hamsburg, Pa. Dec. 2, 1S81. After trying different physicians and many remedies for palpitation of the heart without receiving any benefit, I was advised to try Brown's Iron Bitters. I have used two bottles and never found anything that gave me so much relief. Mrs. Jennis Hess. For the peculiar troubles to which ladies are subject, Brown's Iron Bitters is invaluable.
