W?dResday, August ; 17, - - 1S9S THE SECOND REGIMENT. Genciai AI. C. Butler writes a letter + r\ Pnl Wilm Jamoc ?n hp fiftVS. t;a camp next to the Third Virginia and Firs', Connecticut is awaiting your regiment, which will complete the brigade." This means that the Second Soutfc Carolina will be placed under the command of General M. C. Batter, unless it shall turn out that the Stete shall fail to raiso her quota of troops. It is now a matter of deep concern to every patriotic citizen that South Ca-olina shall promptly furnish her fu:l quota of troops. General Butler acds: "1 trust it Che place referred to) will not be occupied by another regiment, or that other orders may not be issued before yours reaches this ca-.ap," and every patriotic citizen joins General Butler in this hope. "South Carolina's full quota may not be needed, bmt she is not the judge in this instance." Ihe President has said that the tr?ops are needed. Congress au 3 L!? . - .V 1] TUn cuuriz.su Luui iv xiiaa.c IUC uu. i.uc State of South Carolina, in pursuance to the President's call, has asked her citizens to respond to the call to arms. It is, therefore, a high duty to the State and to the Federal government that the regiment be raised. The State is now being most thoroughly advertised throughout the v whole country as failing to completeher quota, and it is an advertisement that ??iil d* the State no good. It is true that the call is based upon the ivhole population, and South Carolina is furnishing troops from her white citizens alone, and that in proportion to white population no State in the Union has doDe better in the number of troops famished than this State, but it is. nevertheless, necessary to sustain the good name of the State that the fall quota should be famished. The war department has granted every conces ^ sion which the State has asked, and X every facility has been given the State. If we shall now fail, whether the > ' charge be well founded or not, it will be charged that Sonth Carolina alone of all the States of the Union is lack. mg in patriotism. 111 ^ -<Tm? We think it very proper for the Secretary of the Xavy to censure the effort made in some quarters to under- j estimate Admiral Sampson. It was all very well for the newspapers to make prominent the fact that it was Schley who deserved, principally, the *?*' / ^ - -J-. A? v*-. credit lor xne aestrucoiuu <jj. oeivera o fleet, bat in their efforts todojastice o Schley they are about to do a great injustice to Sampson. Sampson has done his whole duty in this war, and we believe that if he had not been called away by duty just at the time of - the attempted flight of Cervera's fleet that he would have acquitted himself with as much credit as Schley. * We can not avoid observing that the onl v good words for the Cubans come from newspapers and people in this country who know them only theoretically and Ptudy them from long range. Th* men and officers of our army who have been to Cuba are unanimous in the opinion that the natives there are useless as soldiers and hopeless as citizens?absurdly conceited, slothful and savage without the faintest idea of the pri: oipleo and purposes by which our people are gove oed.-Graenville News.

I will make an effort to give a brief synopsis of the speeches delivered. lion. J.T. Johnson, of Spartanburg, was the first speaker. He confine I his fircmmAof f<-? national issues. Mr. Johnson is a candidate for Congress, and bis speech was well received by tbe audience. Mr. Johnson has the reputation of being one of the best posted men in the United States on the money question. Mr, C. S. Ford was the first speaker. Said he believed the lien law was unwise in its origin, but he also thought it would be unwise to abolish it nntil the people are batter prepared fo do with6ut credit. He is in favor of proti/v fioU r\f Hnnnr ! LLLUiUyU. i.i.C bUlUlxa IU& stub ui for medicinal purposes should be governed by a board of examiners in each county. He is in favor of biennial sessions of the Legislature and economy in public expenditures, and an improved education placed in reach of all thf? nponlft. ?** x""T*" Mr. J. B. Morrison was the next speaker. He believes in low taxes and economy io all departments of the government. He is not in favor of unnecessary appropriations for higher education. He believes education should be put is reach of all classes. He believes the dispensary is the best onlnCnv. * Tia tt**oIttt nnoatirtn FTp OViUllVU IV liH/ n Uioavj ? thinks it the dnty of the home and the chrirch to teach morals. I regret that I did not get to the speaking in time to hear the speakers above mentioned and have been able to get only a brief account of their speeches. Mr. W. J. Johnson was the third speaker for ?be House of Representatives. He advocated an economical administration of oar government. He is strenuously opposed to the members of the House and Senate accepting or voting free passes for themselves to go to Clemson, Charleston, and Winthrop College. He is in favor of biennial sessions of the Legislature. We either have to have th* dispensary, local option or prohibition. He believes the dispensary is the best solu Son ot the whiskey question, He does not believe prohibition is practicable. Horu R. Y. Lemmon was the fourth speaker. He gave an account of his stewardship since he has been a member. He is an advocate of the privilege tax of twenty-five cents per ton on guano, so long as it is appropriated for Clemson and Winthrop colleges. He did no- go on that trip when the members visited Clemson College. Said he had made strenuoas efforts to reduce rases, ic?r ue ueueves m wjuomy in public expenditures. Mr. Lemmon said he did not vote for the Childs bill. Iul892 he voted to abolish the bar-room system. He said there were mare drunkenness in prohibition counties than there had ever bee a under local option. Mr. Lemmon said he did not intend to offer for rc-election, but his friends urged him to run and they announced him; but if be was not the choice of the people he did not want the position. Mr. Jofcn G. Moblev was the fifih sneaker. He dwelt on "the iujastice of the gold standard and showed how completely the debtor is placed at the mercy of the creditor. He hopes the day is not far distant when the farmers would not have to give a lien. He said we are to-day slaves of Wall Street. He referred to the adverse circumstances of the people when they returned home from the war between the States. He believes our prosperity depends largely on the rehabilitation of State banks of issue and the unlimited coinage of silver. He is an -J auvocaie ox use , uv uau seen drug stores converted into barrooms; tie believes a mother's influence is the greatest incentive to temperance. He is in favor of liberal education for the masses. Mr. E. B. Ragsdale was the sixth speaker. He paid a glowing tribute to the patriotism of our people, and spoke at some length on the tendencies of the times and how rapidly we are drifting into a centralized government. He quoted Abraham Lincoln and showed very clearly that it is well that . slavery has been forever abelished, bat he said a white slavery wa3 far more to be dreaded than any slavery that ! ever existed. He believes in 'equal opportunities ana aosoiute equality. He saia he was opposad i corpora- . tions and unjast legislation i .1 -ir in- , terest and to the detriment *>r the masses; He is opposed to Iegidation in the interest ot the few. He is an advocate of electing the judges by the people. E.e denounced swapping off in politics as being unjust to the peo- : pie. He is opposed to the railroads and cotton buyers outside the State to organize and use aav discrimination to the detriment of the farmer. He said J if the railroad commission can and j does not remedy this their commissions should be taken from them, lie is j opposed to corporation ownership of our lands, and hoped to see the day , when every man would own a home. Mr. Ragsdale is in favor of the dis- , pensary; thinks it is the b?t solution j of the whiskey question. Hon. J. G. Wolling was the seventh ] speaker, who thanked the people for ! past support; said he had exerted ! every effort possible to promote the welfare of the people; said be was in i favor of the disponsary system; he j Denevea aDsomtu prujuimuvu is im- t practicable. My record on taxation is : before the people; said be had Toted ^ for a redaction of salaries. Mr. "Wol- < li--^ believes our county tax can be j r tnced to four mills. He is in favor 01 liberal education. He voted for the privilege tax of twenty-five cents per ton on guano, to be divided between Clemson and the other colleges. s He believed in a just return of property arul thftf ail neoDle who have money should pay taxes on it. He voted to retain the lien law because if it was abolished it might become neces- 1 sary for the people to mortgage their ( land to get money, which would be j much worse than to give a lien on their crops. He believed every 1 rr . should own a home, and he thought tbe opportunities t? obtain it i should be made as easy as possible; ? 3&id he tried in every way to work for the best interest of the people and if 1 re-elected he would in the future as he ? bad done in the past strive for what- i sver he tnousbt would best promote < the welfare of our people. I regret, Mr. Editor, that I cannot 1 write any more of the proceedings of I the meeting. Wish I had time to give j sin account ot speeches made by candi- 1 Jates for county offices. * ] The crowd was estimated at about A 300 people, Everything passed off c auietly. Kobt. TS.

The people are j very thickly settled, and the best roads I ever saw; it is a pleasure to ride over them. The land is very rich. I have never seen such corn as is grown on these mountains and in the valleys They tell me it is common to make fro u 40 to 75 bushels per acre. The corn is so thick you can't see through it?as; fhick as. wc plant sugar cane, and very fine.

They get 810 a load for clovcr and 75 cents per bushel for wheat, and I sec wagons pass every day with old corn, as many as fifteen a day. Thei lumber business in this country is vei'y profitable. I counted forty wagoas loaded with oak lumber on my way out here, and they haul 1?000 feet with :;wo mules or horse?, as the roads are all greded and smooth. There is a curly birch that brings $10 per thousand feet, and a great many people here have all tb<; finishing work in their house:; done with it, and it is grand. The peop;C make a lot of money gathering arid selling herbs and roots, i was at i store yesterday and the merchant gliowred me about ten different boxes of roots, and one kind he paid Si per pound (Gensin). The white people do most all the work, but do not work half their time, and make a good living- and lay up money and send their children to school from eisht to ten months in the rroof tliA nnnrpsf. nMn!f> r>rln cite their children. If people worked here like some of our people do they would get rich. I heard a Norm Carolinian say that he never saw any people work harder than they do in South Carolina and have so little money. Crops are laid by and I haven't seen a man do any work since I have been here, except those who arc in the lum Der otsmess. This is certainly the grandest country in the South. They have very fine horses and cows. Cattle sell very high. A calf two months old sells for five dollars. They take them to the Black Mountaius to fatten then to Ashevilie for sale. l. a. s.

They all have good crops and. are wearing a happy smile in anticipation 01 me gooa times mat seem to be j-ist ahead. Fodder on early corn is now ready for harvesting. Some fodder has been palled this week. The unfavorable condition of the weather, though, has interfered with it to some entent.
