And! altogether the performance sermetl tio j less wonderful from the fact that he J lias been before the punlio so long, j and many in t.ho house had heard him i brtoie.?From Thr h'lirl: Islmnl I num. j Ol'ISIOSS OF THE CU IT US JiCYKKS. j The resolutions adopted some time : ago by the cotton buyers to the ell'ect that they would buy no cotton unless it had been cut and sampled by a met chant or cotton buypr, lias given rise to communications from several persons on (he subject. Our reporter in order to ascertain whether or ;ioi these resolutions had been adhered to by the cotton merchants, showed several of them one of these communications and asked if the complaint was a just one. Mr. Coan said: i;As far as I am! concerned, I never ask. except very rarely, who takes the sample from thebaic, and don't know whether the other buyers do or not. 1 know positively that bales have been sold at this market from lint room samples." Mr. 1J. J. McCarley said he understood that a mutual agreement liad been made among the cotton buyers not to carry out the resolutions, is all of the cotton was so good that even if a sample from the lint room was presented it would grade very little higher than one from the packed bale. lie said that any intelligent ^otton buyer could tell a lint room ample immediately anil that as far as lie was concerned he scarcely ever isked who sampled tlie bale. Mr. Crosby said that in his opinion I ?uch a step on the part of the cotton j buyers was of 110 use whatever, that as j far as he knew not a particle of atten- j :ion had ever been paid to the enforcement of the resolution. He also said .hat an experienced cotton buyer :-ould tell a lint room sample at sight. 34r. Cnreton said that he was satislied that the action ?f the cotton men iad been of the greatest benelit to < VVinnsboro. He 'bought that the high | >rice of cotton here was due to the I fact that when the merchants knew j hat the samples they bid on came from : he packed bales, they would give ! setter prices f?r t lie cotton and the j prices at this market, he said, have j ittracted cotton which ordinarily goes somewhere else. j -J. \V.

I n last wuek's i>sue of your Dnper, I j iesire tosav thut I agree with him in lis suggestion in regard to line school?. I I think it would probably be mi iin-! provemeut on the present school law >11 that point. It would be a great leal less trouble, and as I understand it squally as fair. As a matter of fact, I think sonic of the trustees have already uloptcd the plan. The district whrrc :uch icliool is loca.'ed would get (he benefit of these line scholars, in jiverage atiendance, and hence would be willing to pav for them. In regard to length of school da> s, I regret to say [hat I am not able tc give a definite mower; the school law is silent on this point. However, usage seems to have : made it from lire and a half to six hours, exclusive of the time allowed j it li-^oii and recess. I hare written to the Superintendent of Education for more light on the subject. Under the I present law twenty days constitutes a school month. I am glad to know that ? inu of our trustees at Iea*t are taking such a lively interest in school matters, an i I hope that others will imitate their Lrood example. I also agree with j L\ S.

Still others asking if it w:ts probable that they would camp near town. Pat says he lias seen many a mob in the old country, but that beat anything j he ever saw in America before. There were only two of the inhabitants of our quiet little town that np- ! held the Aibions in their conduct. One of them has already gone, while the other i* speaking of leaving, which ; "Dr." says means one more inmate to j the asylum. Your correspondent from Albion says some of the peopl.t of RIaekstook nn i Hi iWMMWManmi^MiaBJiK?niaama^aj did not heaj them. It is probable they did not, as they were not at home at llie time.

Yi'OULt it A UJj-A 1.111 OX AFfAJIl. Messrs. KdHots: In a communication written by me and published in your issue of the 2:5rd nit., I mentioned among other items of news the match game that took place between the Albions and Light Foot, at Biackstock, a lew days before. I also took occasion to criticUe, in a jokingly and humorous way. tin: rather boisterous exultations of the Albion boys in the town of Biackstock late in the afternoon after me game was over, and which was commented upon by most every one I met. I absolutely deny that it was written with any malice trli?mrop nritli > vinw nf tttftMlilinc imiwvvfwi \sl "an ^ ^ " " * 3 any one at all, and never for a moment dreamed thai it would so awfully affront tiiein as it seems to have done if we are to judge from the purport ot two articles that appear in your issue of this week over the signatures of "Juveniv' and ,;S". Now, Messrs. Editors, in 01 '.er that I may vindicate myself and re.'ute the slanderous charges of malicious exaggeration and misrepresent ion, I hope you will allow me a small 9pace in your columns tb give the grounds upon which mv criticisms were based, promising to do so in as concise ;* manner us the tacts will admit, aud that 1 will not indulge in any mean or slanderous invectives which 1 believe to be beneath the dignity of a gentleman. Before entering, however, upon this unpleasant duty 1 will state fur the benetit ot S. who characterizes me as being "ubiquitous" that I was nut at l>iack?tock that afiurnoon, but tint my knowledge of the. particulars of the game aud tverxthinj: els?; that tian? pi red was obtained from parties of * -i - ? T U! (jllttSUOlieU li u'iil HIM1 \ crncuv. I wa>3 told tlint the Albion*, alter the game was over, firove into Blackstock vejy rapidly, some, it' not :i! 1 of thern, having their Horse* in a gallop, cheering loudly and waving handkerchiefs; that were tied to their whips, thai they drove in this style as far up as the Methodist Church, where they turned and came back in the same manner, that some one standing- on the street thinking their exultations too boi.<tero*s wanted Mr. G. L. Kennedy, the Intendant of the town, to stop it, but Mr. K., believing that they would soon leave, did not interfere: that a certain gentleman, a native of Ireland, remai keu that lie had never seen the like before in America, or words to that effect, and that tkev either met 01 passed Messrs. S. K. Clowney and J. A. Stewart, wlu? were riding in a buggy together, and greatly frightened their hoi>e, tl.ey having some difficulty in keeping the horse from running away. Heating that Jnvenis and S. had replied to my criticisms I asked several of the Blackstock people if what I said was exaggerated. They told me that it waw not, and that their exultations were even mors boisterous than one would infer from the tenor of my article. They ali say that under the circumstances their conduct was very unbecoming. Now, Messrs Editors, from motives of delicacy I will say tioii-.in.r more about it. am exceedingly sorry that I have been forced to say as much as I hsivc already said. Had not Jnvenis and 6. replied in the vindictive and slanderous .stylein which they did, scarcely one out of an hundred of your many readers would have given] my criticisms a second thought, and it would not have had the notoriety it now has. If the above facts are exaggerated the responsibility rest upon the shoulders of mr informants, for I was not at Blackstock. 60 did not see it. The Blackstock people inform me that they have heard of no one from Albion having been there investigating or; making inquiry about their conduct as j is claimed by Juvenis. Ereii the negroes are severely criticizing their conduct and say, "Dem j Albion folks haved demselfs wosser'n | de niggers." We think ihat if Juvenis j and b. could only fee themselves as j they are Reen by everybody around j here and wc rear as they are now j seen everywhere else they would see j to animals of less comeliness and use i than the little long-eared animal they compared myself to, and they would at once strike a bee line l'Or Central Africa where all such animals ought to reside. m. tribute of kespkc't.
