STnee cirtte hewtm times one sel* dorn visits an old familiar spot, as> ' eoeiated in nr. c.jrvory with prosper" ons days, without beiog struck with the sad chrjisres which follow iuthe wake of war. But particularly is it so, when after a protrac lea aDi'encc we rciuru view a plr.ee, where, in unbroken pleasure, wV, passed the careless days of childhood?days between which and the present lies a gulf of passion sorrows and regrets. (J nge marks the progress of rn?.n, and is often associated with i'je pleasure of successes which produce it; but as often tloes it spring from dire misfortune and reminds us of want and necessity. The latter is more commonly ex prienced in these days of radical rule and the unlimited stretch of conscience. I have never been more struck with the . sequellae of onr late waF, as on a recent visit to the home of my childhood in our once happy and prosperous low country. Perhaps there is no section of our snnny South where nature has not been more lavish' in her gifts as here among the lew lands of ?olleton and adjacent counties. "With lands as rich as those of historic Egypt, a genial climate, the most valuable and extensive forests, filled with deer and game, while bold and optic streams water th^ rice lauds aud furnish the finest fish. It once seemed that nothing was here wanting to Tnn/W n. nonnln nrosnerous and " t z.~ r r happy. Bat alas! what a change has come ovei "the spirit of their dream." As ivell might the darken ell halls of death compare with the liveliness of life* as would this modern Pompeii with the spirit of it- former days, when all was life and gaiety, and where dire necessity bows the .head in sad obedience to a sadder decree. Improvements, after leaving the railroad are few and far between, like oases in the desert. Feuces and houses in the county town (Walterboro) that rot and fall remain so, until burned by the horde of Ethiopian parasites that infest the place. Many fine residences are in a wreck of ruin, not a vestagc of enclosure left, and cattle graze where flower yards and orchards flourished just seveu years ago., ' This place was chiefly a summer scat, where wealthly farmers and planters .spent the sickly season; In Summer the population was about 2,500, in Winter greatly rcduced by the return of the planters and their families to their plantations. It is equi-distant from the S. C. and C. & S. R. R., an inconvenience long felt. ' . 3 citizens a3 a rule were very ; Jtby and lived in affluence and .luxury, tne sociexy was exceuern, bti:characterized by intelligence, refinement and hospitality* Kes]?oct'vblo strangers were treated with marked kindness* And admission to respectable circles not vereal, i e a man was measured, not by his worth in gold and silver, bat character.

That a cloud of adversify has darkened our sunshine, we all ieel, for there is seldom much left for u conquered people to hope for; bat here there seems more to sadden and less to encourage than in any other section of our State. Despite this, however, there are gome who clo very wen, atm a very few who having succeeded in making .rice and cotton, have around them many of the comforts of better day?, These did not like Lot} look back, but with the patience ol >'oah "when persecuted by an ungodly generation," surmounted every obstacle with a heart for eery fate; while the majority.JI regret, forget the future in Sid remembrance of the past. This proves the fallacy of the theory that all men were born tqiial. We of the upper counties know little of the troubles of this "unfortunate people. With us "the eye of the master" may make the "ox fat" but then the eye of the master is away when most needed, at night and early mom in Simmer, and this a necessity on account of the great danger of fever 'during this season ; hence Cufiie it left to <io as he pleae.es and he invariably pieces to plunder and destroy, consequently the grunt of a hog or the lowing of catlle is music sel- [ dam heard, where once to herd! and mark and brand was ail they) 1 ad to do. ?cammen' ... --.a Iiice. cotton, peas and corn are the usual farm products with little or no small grain. Long cotton , was formerly planted exclusively; but sin.ce the war, it has been found more remunerative to plant the short staple, which, when it can be properly worked, produces from one to two bales per acre. This, however, is rarely done, as Cuffie is the chance, ana is more consuming than producing. The soil is usually dark and difficult of cultivation, requiring a much greater proportion of hoeing. I was told ihat since the war the} have tried a system of cultivation, but that it was invariably a failure on account of the rapid and rank growth of the grass. At the close of the war a great many were sanguine of success in in farming, and judging the pres. en thy the past, invested largely with a borrowed capital in rice and cotton, losing sight, it seems, of the fact that Cuffie was a citizen and nfiliticiian rather than a laborer. This delusion was, however, eoonj " dispelled, for even when a eiv>p, was made, Cuffie harvested the) . heads oft* the rice in the fields at . night, leaving only the stra^ for | the employer, and when he with high hopes went to gather his gol' den crop, it was all but the gold. These failures produced a perfect , retroversion, and soon bankruptcy and the sale of land became as . common as liens on crops are here.

These wealthy classes are as a rule, much worse off than those who were .always poor; wealth and poverty seem to have shaken hands, those who were wealthiest now being poorest. This is more strikingly the case with the planters. .The sad iasne. of the war was to those a vicissitude indeed. TCaisnd in the Inn of'luxurv. rolling' ?.vv?*wv * "** VM ~ r ~ %/y o in wealth and pleasure, having nothing to do but to order and receive, they are now incapable of adapting themselves to the circumstances by which they are.surrounded. The change seems as groal as the transit from palace to log hut. "While those who occupied the pine country stretching towards Barnwell?once the poorest people in the land, being tutored in the. school of adversity had nothing to lose or regret,, and much to encourage, for with emancipation came greater demand and better pay for labor. The negroes are as tltick as black birds at harvest, and a? indolent as' their necessities will permit. This is much to be regretted inasmuch as they could be mnde a useful and appreciative peo pie under proper a regime. As it is 111 this section^ of country, the crops have to be guarded as closely as a picket line from harvest until shipment. About the tc^vn negroes are much more intelligent and with few exceptions there are none over the age of 12 years of age who cannot read and write. They are everywhere in this section more civil and polite to the whites than in the up-country. Tn conclusion it gives me much pleasure to state that "Rev. Edward Palmer, father of Dr. Benjamin Palmer, the great pulpit orator of New Orteans, is still pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place, though now in his 87th year.

It is to be commended for several reasons. It is*not to be mixed with liquor, and therefore will npt be used as an alcoholic be-, verage; its ingredients are wellknown among the common people, and it will have no prejudice to combat; each of the materials is in equal proportion to the other, and it may therefore be compounded without professional skill; and, ?? an rrarxt email if mflV ?V1J .V ? be carried in a tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be always at hand.
