The last issue of the Anderson Intelligenccr contains the following editorial, as introductory to a com munication which it publishes from the Abbeville Medium, both of which, editorial and communication equal ly, do very great injustice to the Abbeville market, and to theiiber ality and enterprise of our mer chants : Handsome Compliment to Our Merchants,?"Long Cane," a cor respondent of the Abbeville Medium, writes as tallows concerning a recent visit to our town, in which lie pays ft just compliment to the energy, enterprise and business tact of our merchants. The writer is evidently i /. J ! puzzle^ at the high prices paiu ior cotton'm this market, and so have 1 other^people been puzzled at the same*"thing. We might possibly ] offer an explanation of this fact, j but the farmers all around only i want to know that it is a fact, with- , out entering into the particulars, , and it is useless to make the expla- ( nation. Therefore, we desire to reiterate the statement so often 1 made that Anderson is the best i cotton market in tbe up-country, i and to invite "all the world and the * rest of mankind" to test its truth fulness by bringing their produce to tbis place, where they con pur chase every desirable article at the lowest prices, and meet with liber ality and kindness at the hands of ' our mercantile friends: j . Editors Medium: I promised to < drop you a few .lines if anything j turned up worth relating on mv ( way to Anderson. I met several Abbetille farmers driving their ' ?- ?. ~ 1^ ,1?/I tirifli horrrrimv nn yyaguua ivuuu^ ?*?wi 7 "bacon, salt, hats, shoes, &c.? V,Where have you been?" says I. "To Anderson," says they?"selling eotton and buying my necessaries. They pay higher prices for cotton iti Anderson than ttey do in Abbe ville, and they sell goods as cheap/' -I inquired how that could be, for Anderson was further from market than Abbeville, and it cost more to ship a bale of cotton from the former than the latter place, and it more to shiD eroods from Charleston and New York, how then could they pay higher prices for cotton and sell goods as cheap ? .The reply was, "They did not know about that, but they knew tliey did W-.V. On ray arrival here I saw many -more familiar faces, selling cotton and buying groceries, and they all ar?a'r]/i sump rpnlv to mv inter iUUUV Ituv WWU4V * "I - J - - J rogatories. This, I confess, was a 41 turn up" I was uot looking for and don't care to relate. It is all wrong from beginning to end, the -merchants can pay as much for cot ton in Abbeville, and more too, than .they can pay at Anderson, and it is a shame- and a scandal that our farmers have to sell their produce and buy their groceries here. I What's the matter? An editor is supposed to know everything, then please eulighten us. Are the people here wider awake? Have they more capital? More energy than they have at home ? I tell you we must work up and push, or we will be left out in the cold. , , Auderson , is lengthening her on/l athpnorfhfinin<r her stakes: wi?u?u? o mr> - you see signs of thrift ou every street. This is my first visit here since the war. In ante bellum times it was a little, old, one-horse concern ?I thought the most old fogy, stu pid, dull town in creation; but, sir, things have changed?everything is lively and looks smiling - the clerk6 move like Broadway boys, and the merchants seem contented with their lots in life. How weare not disposed to do in justice to Anderson, or to abate one jot or tittle of her just claims to favor j&ud, patronage, but when these claims aro pressed to the prejudice of Abbe ville, and upon what we conceive to be ,a misconception of the true state of the facts, we cannot in justice to ourselves be any longer silent. .Is !it a fact, as alleged, that Anderson gives more for cotton, and sells goods pheapor than Abbeville, being forty Mies farther from market? Id the first place wo may say this for Abbeville that the prices she has paid during: the present season for K'Mtton have been folly op to the prices paid in Columbia, Augusta, Charles 'ton-and1 .'.New York, less the cost of .transportation,and in many instances have exceeded these prices. An agent of a New York House was tiberd duriog tbe season, and finding himself unable to compete with the prices paid by the Abbeville buyers, 'jwas forced to leave- When such is tbe comparative state of the Abbe ville and seaboard markets, is it tea sonaWe to suppose that Anderson can' really pa}- more for cotton, and sel goods at the samo time cheaper? ? That Anderson nominally pays mor C ?<* Knt nn A hhftvill ivri wuvu, io VI uv , yuv planter who resides in tho upper po: tion of the county gives this solutio founded on Lis own experience. II j informs that what is gained by th planter in the prico is lost in th weight of his cotton. Tho incrcas of one cent per pound on a 400 poun btilo would givo 84 per bale increase whilst a loss of 30 lbs per bale i weight at 15 ccnts per pound woul amount to a loss of S4.s0; at 20 cent per pound to a loss of $G per buk Here is an explanation, simple am satisfactory, if not very creditable to " 1 4 1 ~ r. kttTVAtt T f ICS Kn AVne r,ue anuerwu uu_|vi. i? iuv rienco of one planter; wo do no vouch for its general application. Again, does Anderson sell goods a cheap as Abbeville? If whatispaii in the higher price of cotton, is takei back in the increased cost of good how is the planter benefitted? 1 bill of goods sold by an Andersoi merchant to an Abbeville farmer ma; throw some light on this questior Ono of tho items of th& bill, which i dated the 19th September, is 12 pounds bacon at 16$ cents por pounc whilst at the same date bacon wa sftllinfr in Abceville at 13? cents pe pound. Other articles of the bil seem equally high. It will not rc quire much figuring to show how will this difference in the prices of goods an increased price may be safely paic for cotton. . In conclusion, we may remark tha as human nature is the same every where, it is not reasonable to supposi that our Anderson neighbors enjoy j monopoly of all the enterprise an< public spirit which make up the sue cessful merchant. Any extravagan pretensions in this direction is verj apt to provoke doubt and misgiving One who sets up to bo better than hii neighbor is most likely to be worse true worth is alwas modest and re :iring. Wo are willing to conced< :hst our Anderson friends have theii full share of honesty, enterprise anc public spirit, but not that they enjoj x monopo'y of theso articles. ^ > > ? VISIT TO GREENWOOD.

General Grant has been re-elect President of the United Statas, : four years more by very largo majc ties. The overwhelming roajont thnf. ho is indebted for his s ccss to something moro than offic power, and patronage, and a lav use of money, wielded by unscrii] Ions agents. It would not be v< difficult to assign the most promin< of those causes which have brou< about a Republican victory and a signed Greeley and the Liberal mo ment to a disastrous defeat. Prominent among these is the ar Southern feeling which found exponent in the Soldier of Appom tox, and which will never sleep ur this generation shall have pass away, and with it the bitter memor of the late strife. Wendell Phill expresses this sentiment when hopes that Grant will bo Preside until every Southern man over loi n years snail ue in ma grave. >? uu . new generation, and the formation ( new parties upon new issues, wo m g expect tho North and the South ' g clasp hands over tho bloody chasr I but perhaps not till then. Reconcil ' tion and amnesty were tho key-no of the Liberal movement, and the c r ij astrous defeat of Greeley shows tl | the Northern mind is not yet prop ^ ed for a policy so liberal and magni ^ imous. Another cause of Greeley's def< was doubtless his lifelong anti-slave t and protection views, which ma him odious to the rank and file of t Democracy, and created wide spre disaffection in their ranks. Whetfc j the nomination of any other Libe: candidate, or even of a straight-c t Democrat wculd have ohanged t result is very doubtful. Ever sin the exposure of the Tammany frail ? in New York, the Democracy of t . Empire State has been hopelessly < moralized, and the solid phalanx the which led the party elsewhere to v , tory has been inert and powerle j A State which onpe gavo from 50,0 to 100,000 majority to the Democra rolls up large majorities for Gra and Republicanism. Another cause was doubtless tfc tha capitalists of the country we afraid of tho crotchets of the sage ' Chappaqua, and were opposed to a 1 change of rulers, which involved t risk of a financial change- Capital } proverbially timid, and responds t 7 slowly to duty and patriotism.
