It is but a trifle farther than "Fortune Spring Wood?," and in our opinion is a much better piace. The ladies and children could amuse themselves boat-riding and fishing, while the members are contesting for the prizes. Mr- G. B. McCants, we are informed, will have the shooting grounds prepared, and clear a good road to the poncL Either a one hundred or two hundred range can bo had. We understand the ladies .who have heard o? it are much in favor of this place. We hope the Gordons will take the matter into consideration and decide upon this spot. ' Personal.?Lieut. D. D. Gaillard, who has been statioued at New York city since his graduation at West Point, has been detailed to work on the jetties at Jacfcsonville, Fla. He stopped over a day with his friends in Winnsboro on Tuesday, and the next day took his departure for his new post of duty. He informed ps that when he left New York on Monday, it was in a blinding snow 8torm. We wish him success in his new work. Mr. John Vinson returned on Friday from a six weeks' trip to Texas, and expresses himself as highly pleased with the country. The Rev. J. M. Grier, of Charlotte, ST. C., spent several days with friends and relatives in town this week. Mrs. Blumenthal, of Saltillo, Mex- , ico, is visiting Mrs. Jno. I>. McCarley.

Railroad.?The following from the "W adesboro Messenger, in regard to the Wadesboro, Winnsboro & Camack, Ga., Railroad, sxplains itself: Onr excellent Postmaster, H. .A. Crawford, Esq., has received a letter from Mr. G. H. McMaster, a banker >f Winnsboro, S. C., asking the name if a good man, at Wadesboro, to press forward the building of a railroad from Wadesboro to Winnsboro, and ;hence to Camack, Ga. This is to be :he connecting link in a great trunk line from Norfolk to New Orleans. Ct is very nearly an air-line, and is nuch the shortest route between these joints ever projected. Camack is ust above Augusta, on the Georgia tfcailroSd, and is not far from the Georgia Central. While it is well enough to have ;ome to look specially into the matter, et us all?every jnan in Anson?press orward this the most important en:erprise ever presented to our people. From the foregoing it will be seen c 10w the idea striked at least one man 's 11 Anson. s . 2 Deaths.?Two of Fairfield's oldest 5j :itizens have been called to rest.

Other matters were discussed, tc i$ finally at 2 o'clock, the Associa 7 tion adjonrned to meet at the sam( : place the third Saturday in May.

Editors: A few dots from the capital city may not be unacceptable to the readers of your valuable paper, and if you will grant me a little space I will endeavor to give you a few of the aforesaid dots. This* season of the year being a busy one with the farmer?, it is conseqnently a quiet time with the merchants, still the streets are by no means deserted and there seems to be a good deal of activity among merchants of all classes and descriptions here. Columbia without being a noisy, bustling business town, has about as much earnest business push and energy as any town in the South; but Colnmbia i3 conservative, eminently conservative, and her business men by their conservatism have allowed others of the neigh-; boring towns to get a start of her in some respects. "Nothing risk, nothing have," is by no means the motto here, and while other towns aud cities have by risky adventures achieved a brilliant success or met with dismal failures, Columbia has. pursued the even tenor of her way towards true and substantial prosperity. The citizens of Augusta wanted factories, but in order to have factories it was necessary to have tha motive power to operate them, -o Augusta went to work and constructed her famous ca?jal, and the factories came and Augusta has rapidly increased in population and wealth, and is forging ahead in all kinds of business prosmi* rA-i i : peril v. jiue citizens 01 ^oiumoia want factories, but the motive power is wanting, and while it is true that Providence has done almost everything necessary to give the motive power, In the magnificent water . power near at hand, Providence has not built them a canal, and (he city of Columbia, has, therefore, called on the State of South Carolina, and the tamaus "Columbia Diich" is the. result, and the factories have not yet put iu an appearance. 1 do not propose ; to discuss the Columbia canal eithe:-! as a political question or lrom an iu- J dustrial standpoint, but if the Coluin-! bia canal will benefit Columbia to the j extent claimed, in my humble jnttg- j ment it should u-.; built, and while it j would have been better for Columbia i to "have it constructed at the State's 1 expense, if the good will result which !. is claimed for it,~it strikes me that as a j: last resort the city might undertake!; the completion of it herself. There | are brains enough in Columbia and ' nearly money enough to build the canal, and to bring factories here and ' to make a success of it, and if the ! people of Columbia waut factories, I think the best way is for the business men of Columbia to put their shoul dcrs to the wheel, and endeavor to , 1 .. < J ^ C 1 uunu lue wiiiiuui tut; aiu ui politicians. There is a scheme on foot to estab- { lish a Land Improvement Company , here, the object of which wiil be to utilize the waste and idle lands of the j State. Oar lands represent the greater 3r part of capital in South Carolina, * and the most of it idle. To say that j the average land owner is "land J poor," is to assert a well known trnth, md with our surplus capital locked up in unproductive lands, we must con- ? ;inue to feel the tightness of the i money market; there is no sale for and because our neighbors are iu as jad a fix in that respect as we onr- j selves are, have ?nc- land than they J mow what to do w. ^ land is there- n 'ore a drug on the market. This land t mprovement scheme is on the same . jlan adopted so successfully in , he Western States, it is hoped that ? ;he company will be able to offer in- . lucements sufficient to attract from -j, >ther sections men wishinsr to our :hase homes. It is urged against the ^ )]an that it is speculative in its nature md should not be encouraged, but all msiuess enterprises ars more or less . peculative, and underneath the ficti- ? ious values which are sometimes pro- t luced, there is often true and sub- ? tantial worthy Our court is now and has been lor ome tilne in session, his Honor, Judge * Norton, presiding:. Columbia law- " ers are said to be a little slow in contacting. court business, and Jor the irst week of the Commcn Plea3 the i, ourt certainly did not "sit for the (1 lispatch of business," but his Honor ' ;as brought about a new order of hings, and a great deal of business j* ias been disposed of dnring the la*t " reek, This is Judge Norton's first ? our, and he has made a very favorable impression, both as a judge and as man. " Every one is discussing the trip to ^ harleslon on the 26th, to attend the ^ nveiling of the Calhoun monument. ^ 'he railroads- from Columbia to Jharleston are doing all in their power > attract a large crowd. It is not P robable that there -will be any "cut- j: ng of rates," as the roads by their onnection with some asssociation, j* ave agreed to "tote fair," and the Dad which begins to cut forfeits a eavy fine. . "L The price of tickets from Columbia > Charleston,' round trip, are now J noted at $4.50 for civilian?, and $2.60 >r soldiers, good from the 25th to Oth inst. The two composing the S lolnmbia battalion have positively ^ ecided to go, and it is hoped that the j Gordons and the Rock Hill company ~ ill also be on hand; these four com- r5. anies will represent the Palmetto " Legiment, and will be commanded by ol. J. Quitman Marshall. ? Messrs. Editors, allow me to conratulate yon upon the great improvelent in the general "get up" of The p, iews axd Herald. I have been for ^ namber of years a constant reader or our paper, and with no intention " f refleecting npon the past managetent of the paper, I am constrained to ty ihat I think there has been recently marked improvement in the paper. None of us like to make enemies and e all like to friends, and the opportu- gj ities presented to newspaper men in lis respect are perhaps greater in nmber than in any other occupation, ad we are all aDt to trim our sails to fc itch the breeze of publicopinion, but le dash and boldness with which yoa ^ ike your positions, and che firm kideendence with which you hold them lust command the respect even of lose who differ with you in opinion. C Attached as I am to-Fairfield, it is "R ith pteasure that I note every sign of B icreasing prosperity, and "the wish E I father "to the thought" that your, oi >unty and county paper will continue tc grow in grace day by day. re COLUMBIA. F j A Q TTES TlOy OF BIGHTS. Messrs. Editors: That individua ^ exertion and individual worth are th prime sources of nearly all that i valuable in the world, is realized b; no one more fully than by me; am ' that dangers and abuses often atteni interference by the State in matters no 1 purely governmental is true. But tb< burden of proof rests upon those wh< advocate the' doctrine that the Stat* should only govern its people,- anc leave all material, moral and intellec . lual progress to the principles of "sel fishness and sympathy," which maj happen to exist in the minds of indi viduals. The question is not what seems besi in theory, bat what is best that is practicable. Many of the theories propagated by the originators of the French revolution were true, but when put in practice the result was fearful. Iu citing instances in the past where government had advanced the civilization of the world by fostering individual genius and ente rprise, I stated that Columbus could not have discovered America but for the aid given him by goverment, he having spent years in vain effort to sooure help, and only accomplished hir.t purpose by means of the ships, men and money furnished him by the governments of Aregon and Castile, '.'hat Columbus succeeded in discovering {America ftnpfirplv or nPfirTtr en hv niil emir ernmont is a fact, and that he ha! no .hopes of succeeding otherwise is,.I think, equally true. A? to your criticism of coy words in regard to ?thft power of the majority i; k^aor^cmnCrf, yon seem to jrie -Omy to s*fc UP an iraange to?irave the plea sore of knocking it down. I fully realize the rights of the minority, but the disciples of the new sophism seem to think that the major ty has no rights which the minority fs bound to respect Under a Republican government having its origin siid support in the will of the people, there ought to be no confasiou of ideas, as there is in a monarchy where the theory ?f the divine rights of kings makes some complications. In a rebublic the individual must surrender certain rights which belong to Kim in o efofA ?>Afn?*A A?/1 AocnmA &iiua iu <m oLAiv vi uaiuiC) auu aoouxuc obligations which are not incumbcnt on him in his state of nature. I admit mnch th&t my opponents have said when applied to man, stripped naked and turned loose in the woods, but I reject the application of their principles to a people living amid the complications* of civilizcd society and brought in contact with other civilized communities. Jacob and his twelve eons didjvery well under the guidance of selfishness ani sympathy, while times were prosperous and pasturage good, but as soon as a famine arose in the land the rub came, and bufcfov their nearness to Egypt, where a despot ruled the people with a rod of iron, Judah and his buethre.n wonld have perished with hunger. Thus the power of a cruel despotism became essential to the preservation of the family from which our Savior was to come. Abstract argument may sound well, but when the unknown and. unknowable impulses of human nature come in as factors, the theories may not work out. It will sound better to say that, the experiment has been tried and proved & success. Whatever blunders or wrongs Great. Britian may have perpetrated, nhe has aone more to spread civilization throughout the world during the last two hundred years than nearly all xher nations combined. That the svork might have been better doue is possible, but is there any one so visionary as" to" suppose that she woald have achieved greatness or even maintained her existence as an independent kingdom under the "let alone" theory of government? The very zeal other rulers io have 'ievery Parliataent contrive my good, short bills which may im- p >rove the. industry of the nation," is, n spite of some mistakes, the chief ;anse of England's greatness. Under our government the people ule. When opinions differ the major ly niusi cuiiiiui, iiul aiuuc ucutusc il [ ias the power, but because it is reaonable and just. Principles of right nay be outraged when the decision is eft to the uncheckered passions, emoions aud interests of the majority, therefore the majority wisely strive o throw around themselves all posai>le safeguards.. They elect delegates 0 a convention which adopt cerain well-established principles of ustice and expediency, declare what ights of individuals are sacred, and ?hat are forfeitable, and adopt sach ules as will tend to check excesses or aistakes in legislation. If the constitution thus made conains the elements of injustice, and if he majority refuse to grant redress, he miuority has the right of revolu- I ion. But when the constitution is wise * nd just, and when the law is made in j ccordauce with its provisions, the c minority certainly. has no moral to I esist its operation. ? 1 did not at first expect to reply to , our comments on my articles signed v rw n t T 'Jl. jU.", oecause x uiuugui )uui w ract from history and yonr remarks ? oucerning Columbus, foiled to prove nothing, and that your criticism of ( iv opinion concerning the rights of r lajorities was not a firm one, but a :iend of mine who is by no means an arnest advocate of railroads and who robably had not read my articles, i arprised me by saying that he agreed 1 rith you as to the meaning of the rords used by me and in the justice t' fvotir criticism. J With an effort to remove this itn-, ? ression, I.will say that it is my opin- ? >n that neither has a minority nor a j lajority nor a whole nation the right to o xnmit a wrong, and that the idea ii itended by me to be conveyed, was v lat wherf a majority lawfully and' P istly decide npon a course of action, 5 le minority has no moral (as it has o legal) right to prevent the execuon of the decision. The expression came from me in 7 jnsequence of a disposition maniisted to question the right of a major- tl y of voters in a township, authoriz- o ig the levy of taxes to build railroads. C uch objections seemed weak, since * .a mwlit ttto? rrr?orjfArl Kr tho mainpitV ^ It ll^UU TlftO giCIUbVU IS J WiW f the law-making' body, which was ected by majorities of the people, in icordance with authority given by a >nstitution made by the majority of a mventioD, called by a majority of le people, and whose members were ec'ed by majorities of the people, ftth all" these safe-guards thrown round them, the right of minorities J irely are sufficiently protected.
