Blake, Esq., of Greenwood, I writes a letter to the Greenville Ncivs, setting forth the importance of thisconh nection, from which we make the following extract ~ "The, charter from Augusta to this point lfas been secured ; a definite survey has been made, showing a distance . of lifty-seven miles, an average excavation "and embankment of four feet, and -an estimated cost of grading per mile at the unprecedented low amount of ; $4,000. A short distance litis been graded." jVs to the importance of this 'connection it is be.voud question. It will be the only road' east of the Savannah river, eutering. or contributing to Augusta direct from the interior. At present she is but half supplied in the Georgia Road. All the roads in the North-western part of this State diverge towards the South-east to its centre,, The Greenwood & Augusta Road, on the east of "Savannah river, will be to Au gusta, reaching as it does to the Northeast and North-west, by Charlotte and Nashville, what the Georgia Road is on the west, reaching North-west ami West. Hut the completion of our enterprise will necessitate a connection between Green villeand Ashville. Why .should this not be done, even though a ( -connection be made from Spartan hurg to Asheville. It is easily demonstrable, *ihat of two diverging lines from Ashe- 1 vJUe, by way of Greenville and Spar tankurg, the Hue by Greenville and j Augusta is far more important. Of the j 'former route, Charleston is the objective > 'point; of the latter, we have not only < *Charleston twenty miles nearer, but we 'have Port Royal and Savannah as well, 'which are not directly accessible by ? -Asheville awd Columbia. Iftheimpor-, 'tance of this connection is realized and manifested by the people of Greenville :'and Asheville, they can easily procure 'the ai<l of Augusta, who is as able to, j ^assist Greenville as Charleston is to aid' ^Spartanburg, to say nothing of Bavan- , limbs,4he-Central and Port Royal Roads, each of which has assured us of their 1 interest in the success of our enterprise. Will you please arouse your people to prompt, decisive action ? * We intend to J succeed, and yours is a common interest 1 *vith ours." Baying Cotton After Dark. j We heartily indorse the following ar- ( fiicleef the Greenville jVcws and com- < ;meud ht fc? the consideration of our own ,l .granges. The evils whicv call for rem- j edy are not confined to one county, and . have been the subject of very grave i complaint in AbbcviiLe. Let us apply 1 the remedy. 1 "At a meeting of Grange Xo. 09. held t :at Williston, recently, tlie following < resolution was passed:* ? licsolocd, That the Patrons of said | Grange, under a sense of duty to them- , selves and the community, in view of { the demoralizing tendencies arising t front tbe mwehevious. practice of the , purchase of small parcels of cotton by t the country and village store-keepers after sundown, have determined-, with r the view of suppressing such traffic, to t withhold their patronage from all merchants and other traders who buy cotton in small parcels, either liut or seed, between sundown and sunrise.* It is important that every Grange in 1 dhe .State should adopt the above, or a 1 similar resolution. Cotton stealing is \ ithe cause of a great deal of trouble and s .distress sn the lower portion of this 1 Jstate. In passing through Barnwell ' jind Beaufort Districts, last summer, we s .talked with manv white ?nd colored v dnen, wko had become discouraged with t J'armiug operations, because their cotton t was stolen from them and sold to cross- i road stores for a trifle, by the idle vaga- <l?onds who stroll about the country. 1 Oue of these little dead fails, located in t si good fanning country, purchased over t sixty bales of cotton, and there never > was at any one time more than $250 a "worth of goods in the store, aud that t stock consisted of a barrel or two of t mean whiskey and a box of the mean- 1 est tobacco, with a few bolts of home- f spun. The farmers informed us that s they knew their cotton was sold there, i but they were powerless to prevent it, and were determined to quit raising it, as they got no returns for their labor, j Every honest man in the State?white r and colored?will heartily endorse the j resolution. What's the Matter with Marlboro? < u I The Phoenix is disposed to read the * people of Marlboro the same lecture n which it has concocted for our benefit. 1 Can anything be more insufferable than * ?uch impertiuenceas the following t \ "WhaTjS the Mattkk with Marl- > boko??It is a noteworthy fact, that all 1 the Counties in the State but one have r organized Tax-Unions, and that they i are active in their operations and every day gaining popular strength. The one exception is Marlboro. The strange, , unaccountable fact is attracting some attention. Is the Influence of Maxwell * .so overwhelming there as to crush the 1 free expression of the opinions of the 1 people? Are manly men to submit h their judgments to the domination of if x an imbecile? I)o they make no objec- 1 tions to being represented by the loser * of the "lost resolution ?" Is there no j ptess there, with its fearless voice? We cannot believe it. This noble County * win arouse itself, conic into line andr place itself in sympathy with the rest 1 of the State." The 1'hccnix is indebted to the New j York Jlcrald for the information that i Marlboro is the only one ot the thirty- i two Counties of the State in which Tax- ' Unions are not organized. It is not the first time that that journal gets its in- , * formation where one might least expect , it. i The Beecher-Tilton Scandal.? ] The latest phase of the Beeeher-Tllton case is the publication of "mutual ( friend" Moulton's detailed statement, i presenting a review of everything pertaining to the controversy, embodying documents, and comments thereon, and ' occupying some twenty columns of type. The comments of the New York journals differ its to the guilt or inno . cence of Beecher, as alFected by the! late disclosures. The Herald, says : "We fain would have believed the! great clergyman never had fallen; we would fain believe it now if we could see any possible way by which he could escape out of the meshes which bind | hiui. Moulton, pressed to speak by thel .onslaughts of Beecher and Beecher's^ friends, has spoken at last, and pained as we are at the result, we cannot disre- i gard the fact that the Plymouth pastor1 , is crushed, unless the terrible witness i .against him can be shown to be a inon-1 .liter of villainy, duplicity and falsehood. ??

Yours, truly, WAJ. T. CAPERS. ] Xeguo Rrskhvations.?The National Era, a paper which Mr. Frederick Douglass controls, gives this advice to Lhe freedmen:? Leave those States in which you are in the minority and the subjects of prejudice and outrage, and remove to the States wl era you will be in the majority, >md thus protect yourself against the indignities to which you are no exposed in many of the States. The .EVa goes on to recommend South Caroliua, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana as clijjible States. Perhaps it vould be better polity to import blacks into the States where they are in a mi- , uority, and thus restore the equilibrium, i We need a few more whites in South 1 Carolina, to bring about that result. We have blacks enough. The game at [ resent is too one-sided to be interest- < ing. The Locust Plague out West seems to be rivaling that which afflicted the land of Egypt in Pharoah's time. They iarken the heavens and destroy the | irops of grain and vegetation generally. Some idea .of the amaxing number of :he locusts out West is formed by the i act that on the line of the St. Joseph . ?nd Denver ltaiiroad, between Axtaii md Bcattie, they covered the track two Inches deep; and, although the engi-|; leers put on a powerful head of steam md tried to drive through theui, the : rain was nine hours going eleven miles, i Jn the same road, a train pulled out of ] Seneca on time, but, encountering the ] oeusts, was driven back, and Iwul to < vait until the myriads of insects had :rossed the line. As this was in Kansas < he grain crop there are threatened as i veil as'in Minnesota and Iowa. Of . he extent of the ravages, no present j :qnjccturc cau be formed; but in the i e'gioiis occupied by homestead settlers, he suffering is severe. Henry Ward Beecher Denies !

Some delicate and interesting questions ivill be considered. How to Manage a Horse.?A horse -1 is never vicious or intractable without ; i direct cause. If a horse is restive or timorous, you may be sure that these faults arise from defects in his educa- , Lion. He has been treated either awkwardly or brutally. Commence the J education of a horse at his birth ; accustom him to the presence, voice and sight ( [>f a man; speak and act gently; caress him, do not startle him. All chastise incuts or cruelty confuse the animal : :md make him wild. They are good j men who make good horses. New Carolina Cotton. ? There svere received in Charleston, on the 20th per South Carolina Railroad, two bales new crop Carolina cotton, grown in Barnwell County. One was from Mr. J. E. Free, Bamberg, classed good ordi nary, and sold at fifleen cents, ana tne second was from Mr. S. Brown, lilackville, classed strict low middling, and sold at sixteen cents.At a distance of thirty miles South of the Union Pacific Railroad and 900 miles West of Omaha, a great hill of almost pure sulphur was discovered about two years ago. This is oue of the most remarkable deposits of native sulnhur in the world. Itcontains only fif teen per cent, of impurities. In the sulphur deposits of Sicily, says the Scientific American, the pure sulphur Is only sixty-tive percent. Dr. Girardeau has retired from Zion Colored Presbyterian Church, in Charleston, and it is hereafter to be served by a colored minister. This was done at the suggestion of the Presbyterian General Assembly. Other churches will likely follow. Prof. John McCrady, of Charleston, has recently been appointed fio the chair of Geology at Harvard University, Mass,, formerly filled by the great Agas \ * . 11 trt ii n A Plea fbr Good Roads. Editor Press and Manner: There was a time here when we had to be very jquiet, and if anything was I said Or done, it was regarded either a | violation of Jaw or a contempt of certain powers. But fortunately for us, our town jail has lost its terror?one end of the building having been knocked out by the last prisoner?and we suppose there are no funds in hand to repair the breach. At the same time we nave been worried a great deal on the i ball question?we mean base ball and t not danciug ball?but even that is now, i to all appearance, as though it had never 1 been. Getting rid of these imaginary trou- . bles, and having a desire to see how our country friends were getting on, we , made some efl'orts to travel over the township a little. Our first effort was j am ti'Koulu Hio nnvf aii VmruoHnolr nnrl I . last on foot. We could but exclaim, let us be imprisoned in the town jail, play bull every day. but do let us have ' good smooth roadN to travel over. But ' I understand tiiat this matter is to go to J the Court of Common Pleas in October, js there to be investigated. In the mean'' time we are informed that sign boards are being put up throughout the Coun- n ty, telling where such and such roads r lead to, the distance, &c. That is at t] least a great comfort, to know the way s to go, and the distance, whether we are j able to travel the road or not. Let us liave good roads. c GREENWOOD. LETTER FROM ALABAMA.

I have had a Very pleasant time since I came out here, with the exception of very hot dry weather. There has been no rain in the last three weeks and the thermometer stood on the 12th ?nst., at 103 in the shade. You can imagine how dry and dusty it is, and how the crops arc suffering. This is a rough, broken country and the majority of its, citizens " coarse and very uncouth. If any of your friends have an idea of ? going westiwcuia auvise tneiu 10 go by way of Augusta, as the connections J on the upper route is very bad. You a can leave your place and come to Seneca City, there you remain until 2 o'clock the following day, then you get to Atlanta 9.30 p. m. and have to remain there until 8 o'clock a. m. the next day.
