BANK FAlll'RIiS.
A oarcful look over our t xchangts reveals a ?n<

It is iinpiissible to say wlnu may be the result, an
we have but one word of caution to our people?an

1 picnic was spread by the niunifioenee of the Indite
of the vicinity, and we know not that we can better
lt describe the ubuudance which marked the occasiou
" than by saying that tho number present on the
^ ground was fairly estimated nt front twenty-five
r" hundred to three thousand, and yet provisions in
plenty survived the charge of the three thousand
" hungry appetites that were eager for the fray, but
' forced to fall back in satiety.
0 It was beautiful to see an occasion of this soi l attended
by so many ladies?an actual count show ing
" six hundred to be present. Another ftature of interest
was the presence of m my cadets of temperance i
from Greenville, among whoin wc were pleased to
" meet with Bro. Price, of the Enterprise. The day
? woe pleasant, no mishap or accident marred the festivities,
and at an early hour all resumed the hoine''

0 ting a noblo and benevolent institution, that must
quench ignorance, energise industry, and scatter

J OOYERSMETT DISBDRSEflE\T8.
The New York papers are in raptures at the
forecast of the Secretary of tho Treasury, Hon^
Howell Cobb, in nffotding relief to the Banks. At
the opening of tlie panto in August the new tariff
' i hud accumulated $13,500,000 in gold in tho sub '
I treasury. To release much of this the Secretary '
| concentrated Government disbursements at that
ooint by promptly auditing and paying out appro
^ ! priatiotts. By ibis means lie reduced the specie on
1 hand to $2,700,000?so that $9,750,000 <?f specie went
(ft i . ... ... .... ?

j J hoyh that Dot one dollar was thus expended; but
i that Pillow's falls into tlio blunder from having;
I ''picked up eoinc information about headquarters"
that certain sums bad been disbursed for s* ret in

li . As ibis i* part of tlio practice of all civil z d nations,
li nnd as General Scott's accounts hare been regular
!y adjusted at Washington, tho chargo of General t
i, Pillow turns out to be a mere matter of moonshine. :
II Flow shameful that an American general officer
'. should endeavor t>> buy place by betraying wb.it he j
- thought great State scurets, and perhaps all the par- '
i. tits living to be injured by the facts! As Gen.

e Pillow, as it is certain, from tho example Is-lore u?,
he would, contrary t?? the faiili and honour of our j

| we lako lite following srnsiblc and timely remarks;
The revolt in Indiana is the harbinger of famine;
' one hundred and eighty null on* of human crea- '
lure* will need huge supplies of food from the pro- j
ducts ol other regions. Tito nrtny of India, the
transport fleet for that army and its supplies, the '
necessities growing out of the disturlx J state of that 1
great English dependency, will call for much ol our 1
surplus boef, pork and flour. Thu two hu>t named
articles are the product of every year, but beef requires
yesrs of nourishment be'oro it is ready for i
use. The wieked, wanton waste of breeding pow- ,
er, which is the b< setting sin of Aujcrii-au farmers, ,
ought U? be checked. Every farmer ougltt to bo |
required to give an account of himself who kills a
female calf. We ought to presorve every "ouwcalf"
for five years to come. Ily this method we a
might soon have a supply of beef, not enly for our- | I
sHMh, but for any emergency abroad. ' I

discussed, and if it cannot survive the Msault, let it 'he
go. We have none of that senlinu tital converrp- ruu
tisioi that leads us to tidvoealo a system because it is 1
old. No matter how rid it is. in n free governinont.

Why are Provisions so Uigli? Jjj
Under this heading, the Ciuuiuuati Inquirer ecu- bus
tains the following important remarks and statistics, ,a'
to whieli wc invito serious attention:
It is a great enigma to many people why the
prices of provisions continue ?<> high, tut an in-pection
of the census returns and of the oust' m-housc '
reports throw much light on the malt< r. In 18-10, A si
for instance, the United S ates produced 8 I,>20,000 ;9 s)
bushels of wliu.it, 108,000,000 bushels of Irish and .
sweet potatoes, ati'J 1-1,070,000 Ilea I of cattle. Had K
agriculture remained simply stationary, considering bee
the increMt of papulation, it ought to have pro- 1
duced in 1850 115,1140,000 bushels of whu.n, 140,- y0
000,000 bushels of potatoes, 20.340,000 head of
cattle; instead of which it only yi Med 100,480,- '
000 bushels of wlieat, 104,000,000 bushels of pnla- t',n
toes, and 18,378,000 head of cattle. 'I
Thus the diminution of these articles during a | u
>u.si.w) "f ...? ..-a - ..U I f.,1.1
bushels of wheal, which is n lulling ?->lV ?>f oik-- '
seventh; 41,000,000 biMlicln of potutncs, which i? a ''id
lull;tioil" of ouc-tliird; 20,00 ?,000 head of cattle, Nic
which is & falling IT of oiie-teulh of the products n ol q
IMO?duly inking into calculation the increase ol j, (
population.
liere, then, we hare one retumu for the udvnnoc
of provisions. ccn
While agriculture thus piovcd uuuhle keep v;Sl
|sioe with the growth of tin* population, the capor* ^
tatiun of breadstuff* iucrensed prodigiously, which,
of course, reacted u|miii the ho ne mnikct. '
The value of breadstuff* and provisions exported to I
average |?-r annum for the |>criod: 9U|r
From 183H to 1840, $1*2,000,000 !
From 1840 to 1850, 27,000.000
From J830 to 18315, 41,080,000 u"'*
Thus the cx|xjrt.ition more than doubled in ten
years, and nearly doubled in the last seven year* '''
'flu* furnishes a second rcoton for tho udv.nico of in <
provisions. q
Our export* have more than doubled in ten years, .
while at the same time the supply of provisions iu 1
proportion to the population ha* lhu? not only re- ed I
niainetl stationary, but has actually declined Agii I
uullure has not b-guu to keep pace with the in- oa-,
urease of niaiili'uclures and commerce. We want .
more farmers.

however,;* Confim d to a lew localities, ch.etl. mi

that t ie whole number carried oft'this way lor the bout
year ending Deocmber 31, 18'?7, will not u it .l
one hundred thousand; or, even if it snould reach |
one hundred and titty thousand, it eould not dimm- \|F.
ish seriously the number In ought to market. Thi* ; |n*;
will be obvious to any |>er*oti upon the reflection . ,, Vi
that in Kentucky, t)h.o, Indiana ami Illiiio*, there ?,lU
were over s x millions of hogs six months, old and | i>t.,.,
upwards r ii the 1st of last April. We think we .e!,<
may assume now, without fear of contradiction, that j hilvt
the supply of hogs is ample." i 4\j
It says thcro will be a Inrg increase in the num. the

Fait field to open up the subject to in? estigntion, inn 'j
debate on the field between tho officers?an ao- t
count of which will be found below Iron; *JK. ttig I
istcr. If tho questiou eould be derided by the pro- t,vci
pie, we have not a doubt but thut the sentiments of con
Lieut. Col. Leitncr would find general eudorse- p"n
ment: ^*1'
"On Tuesday the 25th Regiment paraded under mra
review of Geu. K. Karlo. Alter tho review the foe
Gcm-ral delivered very ImmLomcly an address to fc00',
the Regiment, lie complimented tho oflieers nud ||s|,,
privates very highly, lie alluded to the glory
which the I'almelto Regiment had slied upon the y
military renown of the Stulo. lie urged the itn- .j
portanre of maiutainiiig in a free government aeiii
zeii soldiery. Aud tl.ut as we had uostanding army, Offi
supported by onerous and oppressive taxes, we
should maintain n militia system to preserve dohicstic
order, and if necessary defend tho honor of our 1
Government on the battle Held. j|,0
"Aft. r Gen. liarle, Lieut. Colonel Lcitner was j
then oa'led upon, lie said that he was obliged to '
differ with his superior in oflico who had just proocd.d
htm, and instead of thinking tlio militia sys- ,n?
trin worthy of preservation, considered it an unmili- t,yt'
gated humbug, lie said so long as it was the law Co1'
of tho State ho would etiforeo its requirements, and r
hold i fBee under it, and rise as high in it as lie our
could, until he hud served ??ut his time; then he r*';'
would resign and retire from tho service. 'j*
"Mnj. ltioo was then loudly called lor, and made ''nl'
soine remarks in defence of the militia system. lie
said if he considered It n humbug ho would throw """
aside his sword, take off his epaulettes, and strip t"e
tlie trappings from h's horse, and reluse any office cxc
under it. lie said it wras a vory easy mutter to find Pur
fault with tho system. So fault might bo found >s 2
with our road laws, our patrol laws, nud our free ?*P
school system. Let those who objected to tho 'or"
present militia system propose a better one; have a
substitute ready be'ore they abolished that now ex- jjMI'
isting.
"Col. Miller was then called for snd made a few cac'

TIIK M0\KY I RISIS?THE CROW.
'he Charleston Evening News, in an article on
crisis in monetary ufliiirs, holds the following
funge:
Our banks ore sound. Our merchants are
nd. Tho planters arc sound. High prices render
u short cro|*sau abundant resource. But unless
.'?n, rice, etc., can be sold and promptly, but little
uf eau be obtained from tho prcat nt pressure. If
banks crnw to discount, or to buy the bills of
liango drawn upon produce, the moneyed means
buying and nendirg forward the crops will he
led, and the recovery from the existing strincy
slow. The crops tnnsl be brought forward
t sold, to enable the people to pay the merchants,
merchants the hanks, and the banks to obtnui
hatigc and thus specie. The reliance Tor this
pose can only he on the general circulation which
really reduced, and on such accommodation nud
nations as our banks can afford. Can they a!I
anyl We answer, yes.
Tli# mo?l reliable insurance has been given us,
L our banVs nud bankers hi Charleston and the
le mo working cordially together, .vitl stand by
bother, will not suspend nor ask hare to su*d,
w.ll uphold their credit to their last dollar nud
sustain trade to their last cent. This is worthy
hoin nii.l of South Carolina. Whatever errors
y may have committed, whatever license taken,
itcver sponging profit made, they intend now to
heir duty to the State, to the people and to themes,
in maintaining the integrity and safely of
ir bus;nc*s relations. 1 nia spirit, combined with
ktimvn sagacity and e.a rience of our bankers,
a of character, should command the ooiifidence i f
public, nnd prevent any panic or unnecessary
. L? t a spirit of iiiuiu.il accommodation pervade
classes, and all will soon be right.
It will be observed that the New York banks
I no! elite si.mil linn but u ill rxnnnd i.. tli.i m.
I of three million* more. This will enable our
ks to ojhii credit* with lln.ni on which to draw,
o sell there their exchange, in addition they
e their own menus in the form of sonic available
hango und a fair amount of specie, on which to
e credits and make advances. The crops once
ted will keep tlicmio lvis going, by the incescnut
urrvnec of the funds they command."

of sending you the acoount which will bo found

vents of the colonial history of Booth Carolina ?

and came naar producing civil war, hot which uhi
matt ly resulted iu great good to the settlers of the
iulerior, inasmuch, us it ltd to the establishment of
courts of justioc, the restoration of peacs and quiet,
and the protection ol p rivals property. Mr. Pearson
was a native of Foirtiold District, <m eminent
lawyer, and for many years tioticitor of the Middle
Circuit, lie look great interest in everything connected
with the colonial and revolutionary history
of riouth Carolina, and his memory was n perfect
store-bouse of fuels, incidents, and anecdotes, relating
to those periods, tie well as the early administration
of justice and the practice of his proftssivu.
With the history Of his own district, even to the
minutest particular, he was lxrfcctly familiar; hence,
no limn was hotter qualified to write the record lie
has lc'i behind him lliau himself. Of the "Regainlion."
he says:

Tins event was a signal for the felons to consolidate
and concert their military inovt-nietila. They
were determined to vindicate thu right to plunder

Musgrove. The lre? holders, and honest portion of
the community, were not hehiud thern in preparation.
They formed under a number of military
leaders, and took the appropriate name of Regulator*.
The following extract is from the Newberry

; that stood en the pubhe square, just in Iront nt the
legiuit mansion of David Aiken, Ksq., culled the
laberty tree. To this tree, it was said, the Regulators
and Whigs of the Rcvolut on, (for they were
the same parly,) were in the habit of binding the
liorst thieves and Tories, and indicting the sentence
of their courts. Tins tree blew down in a storm
about 1828 or '22, and um a subject of a* much
regret to the cit.zcns of the D.strict, as was
the h?s of tlie charter onk of Connecticut a few

lie says:
"Thomas Woodward removed w ith a large family

about tlin City, to guard and defcad that akallow w
strait which separates Sullivan's island from Lodg
Islf.ud. The artillery was moouted on asod heaps, y
and our troops wers an well protected us circumstances

The object of ths British General waa to pane

no taste lor the American pieces, nor lbs disciplined X

he had uo not on to advance at such hazard, hareniaincj

in the rouse, to preserve order and keep the Tories
in check. In this ccrvioe ho wai of great use.
His nnmo won a terror to nil evil doers, and the dry

Mr. Woodward, though not n scholar, was C
a highly gifted, nl,d even enlightened man on nil f<

that took rt newspaper iu bis day. He was out* of t:
the cnrlust indigo planters, and one of the tuosl uuc- t<

with alarming audacity. C'apl. Woodward was do- I
