Wednesday, July 4,1877. ?ne .new <_ouiuy.?-?c ?is? 10 i.xplain. We have received a letter from a highly esteemed friend at Ninety-Six, who ex presses himself as "surprised ami not s little mortiiied" at our position in refer once to the new county of Ninety-Six And, among other things, he says: "1 an "truly sorry you have gone so-far out o "your way to make this unexpected,and , ":ts I think, uncalled for at taction an en "terprise that even its enemies admit wil "redound to the public, good. I knov "this, that whatever else you may ac "complish you are certainly training tin "ill-wiU of our citizens, which will shov "itself in an unmistakable way, if voi "choose to persist in this, as I think 4 unmerited attack upon our people."1 We trust that our friend and all other who may he under the impression tha we "made an unmerited attack" upon the people of Ninety-Six will read our arti'-h a^ain. W? made no attack upoti thetn but endeavored to discuss in a lair ant impartial manner a jrrave subject of grea public importance to our people. Tin J'rcss ami Manner endeavors to rupresen the whole people of Abbeville county and wo believe that we would not be trut to our position if we sat idly by withmy raising <itir voice in this matter. In oui previous article we endeavored to show a few of the many objections which thf citiz.-ns of ti??* proposed nmv county should have to the establishment of; new court house at Ninety-Six, but wi never said a word as 10 the serious objec tions whicii we and every tax payer o Abbeville county, except comparatively a \erv small number of citizens who art living in Ninety-Six, should urgeagainsi this new county. Wo object to it beeausi we are poor, ami are uuable to allow timi rich and pro^?erous section of the count\ to be excused from contributing to thi support of the county government. We Jiave all the machinery of a county government in operation ami the expenses liave to be paid, whether Ninety-Six is in the county or not. It is idle to say thai our expenses will be proportionately reduced because a large portion of tht county has been cut oil", li makes little difference in court expenses to try twenty or ten eases alter the court is organized, and our Auditor, Treasurer, School Commissioner, County Commissioners, and other officers will receive the same pay asthey do now, and we propose lo show below how much less able we wfll be to paj these expenses alter the new county cut oil". The taxable property of Ninety-Si.x township amounts to MU7,/ys; taxaoit property of tin-en wood is, $.",<>S,S20, ami the taxable property of White Hall townsllip is 5>l?s,037.

It is true (hat a small portion ol Greenwood and White Hill townships arc left to Abbeville, which might reduce the taxes from these townships to the new county perhaps from ?300 or $100, but, to set oil' for this, we have made no mention of the land cut oft' froai Cokesbury township, which would go far towards bringing the figures back to the original point. When it is necessary to levy three mills on the whole property of this county to run tire expenses of the g ?vern ? :? K, 1:1,. mi hi, it v* in ui; > 01.* ?i uuii viivfourth more, or an additional mill will bo required, from the balance of the county, if the change is made. Are the people of iJonaldsviile, l>;ie West, Antrevill<% Lowndesvill", Calhoun's Mills, Jiradley's Mills, and Abbeville village willing to make their taxes one-fourth more in order to accommodate the people of Ninety-Six to a court house? We think not. The lines of thc'.old counties were established in the infancy of the country, (17S.>, or in the ninth year of American Independence,) and they have so remained ever since. The old Court Houses are its near the middle of the counties as it is jto.-aible, ami it_i< not harder upon NinetySix to come lo Abbcvilie Court House than it is for the people of tho liange, Donaldsvilleor Lowddesville. If N'inetySix should cut oil'what the advocates of tho new county have mapped out it will reduce tho county to the lowest number of square miles allowed by law, and the people of these sections will he forever barred from any chance of having a Court House of their own. If we have two hundred and lifty square miles more than the minimum number, is it right that Ninety-Six should ask to take tho whole. "VV^ *\t\i T./iu-n/lniivilln ' ville and tho 1 lunge should conic in for their share, m cause thev ever want to es- j tablish .1-Court House. We <lo not see how Ninety-Six, in jus-; tiee to the other portions of the county who are as far from the Court House sis; they are, can ask from Abbeville county' more than sixty-two square miles, as other portions of the county have an equal' claim to their pro rata of any excess cf ground. One reason win* the citizens of (h" newt county should ol>jeot iithe arrangement i ti , is the furiously shaped draft of the conn- j 1> tv.

And >! we believe tho people of Ninety-Six who ''favor this enterprise* arc mistaken as to i the great good t > lie cleri\ e 1 from a >urt I house. A court house docs not make a ": pkee, or bring any great trade to a village. Tho people who desire to trade at j Ninety-Six will do so anyhow. The . towns of Ninety-Six, Greenwood, and' | Hedges Depot, sell immense quantities of I floods now, and the sales would not be greatly augmented by the addition of a ' j court house to any one of these places, j Having shown some of the objections | which we have to the formation of a new I county, more than one-half of the taxaII ble property of which is to be taken from " j Abbeville county, we know that the most I zealous advocates of the new county can 1 j have no objection to our discussing the f cost, of this enterprise, to the people. | We are not positive as to the amount of *! taxable property included in the new l ... *1.,^ ,.nntlAf 'ininmit 1 ! couiuv, uiit iii.n iv uuux/k ............ >' I to more than one million nine hundred < - thousand dollars, but for easy calculation ~ j lot us [nit it at -two million dollars. The > ! proposed tax, of two mills on thisnmount 1 will raise only $1,000. Now, let us see . .. what will likely be needed for public ; buildings alone. First, the court house j s|certainly will not cost less than SIO.OOO | 1 j ?ours cost $"J0.rt00; second, the jail wili ' I cost not less than ?0.000,?ours cost $fi.S0i. -1 before the war; third, a farm of two or | three hundred acres with buildings suit a- ; '! ble for a poor house and farm will perhaps 1 t j cost about $2,000. Here we have an out- 1 ' j lay of -sjs.ooo to begin with. To raise this . i j amount it will require a tax of nine wills ] Jon- two million dollars; or, in other 1 ' 1 words, nine dollar# a thousand on the 1 ! j whole taxable property of the county. < r | From this calculation every farmer can ! i ' I tell exactly what the new court house, I' Mjail and poor house farm will certainly J, ' | cost him?if the amount does not exceed j i 1 this calculation, llesides Ihis, the cost of;' - transfer of the record of every title deed, I 'jSl.'Ja each;' mortgage deeds $I.7"? and!< f viii-ion--. niJier costs, and a heavier animal i < ri.tax satUiled upon liiiri after paying all j j [this, than if ho remained in tin? old eouu! ly. From the above the farmer may I 'judge for himself whetherthfeoiitthou.se ' is worth the cost to him. If the farm- . or, with a knowledge of what the enter- i | prise will cojt him, still de sires the ? j change, we shall acquiesce. j Our friend intimates that we may lose . 'patronage by our course. While this : j may be true wv shall regret the lact; but I ' nevertheless wo are bound as aeonseien- j jtious journalist to discuss all matters ofh i public concern. That is our business. 1 The people areentitled to know our opin- ! j ions of all important questions which in- ' terest the public and we should think I | that we had failed to perform our duty if ' j we did n<<t express our opinion on so im| portant a question. We are at a loss to ' flu. uoirit nf iiiloU'i-nnei* ' j which would forbid such discussion. v We have never censured the Xiucty-Xix I, (Juttnlina for its advocacy of the new i : | county, and we are much mistaken if the i editor of that paper is afraid to discuss j I i the subject.

Jire nird, the scat ol' this "land of the sky" i nestles in the valley of the French Broad, ind is surrounded by "mountains that like giants stand, to sentinel enchanted land." It enjoys the benefits of a good saw mill, grist mill and wool factory. It numbers a population of about five" hundred inhabitants whose cordial hospitality is ever manifested toward the way- ( larer and stranger. Among its citizens- ' sillp, AUUl'Vlllt' liiumv is wurum^r rep- ( resented by .J. L. llelJ,* mid family j formerly of Greenwood, and to whom we i were indebted lor a most welcomed re- ' ij.-ption. Enjoying all the advantages of ! nature, together with the benefits of a j ontinuel mountain breeze, tiiis vilfage is 1 i favorite resort for invalids daring the 1 summer season. The pleasure-seeker J an also lind amusement in chasing the , leer and bear which roam the coverts of ; ho forest, and catching trout wlii -h fill < its streams. ! Having discussed tlie peculiarities of j bis section -with regard to invalids and , :ourist, we will briefly notice its agrieul- ( .ural features. One would suppose that 1 i region interspersed with mountain anges, and possessing a temperature to ] old u>.) the cultivation of those products, ; ivhich are indigenous to a more tropical ' dime, has few attractions for the settler, j mil w;is ill adopted for agriculture. Such, however, is a most erroneous im- ; press ion, as 1 will attempt to prove. In i .lie lirst place, no country in the world is 1 better timbered or watered, and itsfertili-j! ;y of soil, especially in the valleys of the ( Krench Broad, Davidson ltiver, and other |i <t reruns, is unsurpassed by tlie Mississip- j i [?i lowlands. Farming is carried on more < jfiontilically here, than in the cotton ' belts of Carolina, and I think much prac-|'t livable information might ho gathered, t ivhich would prove highly beneficial to ;lit- farming interest of the old South * Stale, They liavc learned the great ad- * v antages of concentrated farming, and in- i stead of areas of several hundred acres, [he farms consist generally ol thirty to <evonty-tive acres each, though worked up to" the highest .stale of cultivation. 1'he settlers know nothing of the use of fertilizers, and the culture of cotton, two iliings inseperalely connected in the minds of the Southern farmer, with liens md mortgages, the etl'ective agencies of bankruptcy. In the cultivation of their rops, which consist principally of corn, ivheat, rye, oals, anu various grasses. th*> land is li'rst broken with aiariretwo uorse Subsoil, and Ibcn with a uitej" plow, illor which the^Min is planted,and then he cuiivo area is either harrowed or leveled wilh a brush, so as to present the I tppearance of a well worked garden. It | is not surprising that alter so thorough preparation, the harvest is often sixty, | tud sometimes one hundred to one hundred and fifty bushels of corn per acre, kvllh a field of "other products in propor- : :ion. Now, Mr. Editor, those, w4io are tvcarlcd with king cotton, whose reign continues the entire year, and especially Jioso who are constitutionally opposed to physical labor, or rather unfortunately 'born tired," we would invite to this land )f plenty, which is characteristic of a {rain country. Should there he those, ivho are averse to all active manucl labor, or such there is a most inviting field in lie raising of all kinds of live stock. Horses, slioops and cows are usually lriven out in the mountains about tirsi >f April and are brought back in November. In a month after being "put into ange*' they are exceedingly fat, and eady for market, with comparatively no jxpense. The mountains are covered with winter rrasses, and evergreens, even during .vinter, while the valleys abound with imothy, clover, orchard and blue grass, roe principal fruits, are apple and grapes vhieh are unsurpassed in both size and lavor. The mountain regions of North .'arolina, al.-o abound in minerals, though n many sections remain undeveloped, ron ores exist in great abundance, while opper ores, gold, silver, lead and zinc, lavo been profitably loineij in several Muro, i iju-? c ???;<; DIUIU la nuiuu g or more ilian it* products of "tar, pitch rl mil turpentine," from which the epithet ii >f "tar hoel" originated. In fact, this 1 ection only needs railroads and capital [, o develop'its hidden treasures of wealth, \ vhich will yet make it the compeer of ]. California in the mineral kingdom. 11 From Brevard, we directed our tour 1 lown the French Broad to Ashvilie, the ountv seat of Buncoinb, and about thiry-five miles distant. A beautiful farm- c n? and grazing eountrj' intervenes. ? 'ields of waving grain, and "cattle upon ( . thousand hills" indicate that "there is ife in the old land yet." Special atten- u ion is paid to raising sheep and in this 11 mneetion, Mr. Editor, I am reminded K >f an amusing occurence, which I will! (l 'enture to relate, provided you insure |t ne against any challenge to "light" from ] ii he aggrieved party. A ifock of sheep were grazing in a 1 neadow near the public highway, when i, wo of the number (thecolliu's kind) be- t ame engaged in a tight which threatened t erious results. The shepherd wishing v 0 arbitrate the matter, approached with v tick in hand, when no sooner, one of a he sheep, leaving his antagonist, renew- o d the attack upon his owner, who was " oon compelled to drop his cudgel and to ," ngage in a band to hand conliict. The w ontest waxed fiercely, and while the i'ooly animal plied his blows to the ter- ci 1 in us of the spinal column, or eonstitn- }' ional part of his assailants body, the y mn was by no means idle, so that at t, tiles it was diilicult to decide whether i tl :ie man bad the ram or the ram had the ll! inn.

Our people have been greatly Impoverish* >y the inlelicity of the times. We have lo he greater part of our endowments.

A singular fact In our hi jry is mat mere is more of a spirit til iibe lity among our people now 111 their eoinpa lively impoverished state than there wi ;hen in a prosperous condition. We are not without our advantages, as v :>neeive. We arc not troubled Willi man at tonalities. We are jGirtlier olf from t! jwer of Isabel than some of our brethre ,'e have heard inore strange tongues on 01 uin of cars from Chicago going in the dire on of uinaha, than we liave heard lor tl ist lifteen or twenty years in thcSoull or have we much cause for cftmpluiuton tl soro of uinm. There are grievous hore.sk noiig us, it is true, and of which we ai lost heartily tired, nut llien we ha\vc n( ulte so many of those wild notions whle re up the'minds of men and disqualify thci r sooer thought. Our rural and compart vcly isolated position may be conceived I at us to a disadvantage in some things, an i it does, but then there are compciisatln reunistanecs, and one of these i? found i te fact that we have congregations to whor would be almost lost time to deliver a si cs of lectures on ihe evils of that almo> jiqultous system of Homaiilstn, because lt< anlsm is known to these congregations h, e hearing of the ear rather than by perse il experience. We are in the eddies of th ream, the tlooils ar? ruslilnir l?v u-o i . c whirl and of tho storin, but are ourselvc oil in waters. Now with regard to the feeling of our pro tiin relation to the United Presbyterlni eturen, it becomes necessary for me to sa, at It has been somewhat checked, that tb' rface has been ruffled by the events of th ht year?a state of things to be depreeate< all on both sldea of the house who ar n ] looking with Interest upon the progress of is | the pending negotiations. Now, as that subject is up, would It Involve l" I n compromise of uny principle of the gospel ts; to regulate the future intercourse of the pari ties by adopting the nrrangcineut of letting n "by yoika be by-gone*." or by scoring out with , the pen of obliteration all parts and parcels . of tiie past history, the recollection of which co tends 10 keep up sectional feeling?

IW- IhtmAi'nl *?#" tlio Thnnlni'ipn I l"* Summary From Greenville to [1}r Louisville. er The question of the removal of the Soutlith era Bupiipi Theological Seminary l'rom ise Greenville, S. 0., to Louisville, Ky., Is tinalho ly settled, Thu next session will open ut i.fi Louisville, and the elty o 1 Greenville will be , the loser In muny ways. She will lose more 0,i than a hundred of her winter population, iitf She will lose her highly honored Dr. Boyce? 11(1 and eminently useful citizen, wherever he p. goes. There are few men in any community f who combine so well the Christian gentleu" man, the profound theologian and the practi111 cut business man, as Dr. James P, lloyee. 'as Greenville will lose the distinguished author. ,ji the unsurpassed pulpit speaker, the learned .jj| and ever ready conversationalist, the delight, lul companion, and altogether lovable man, 141 Dr. .John A. Broadus. she had already lost, 'y- In God's own way, (of which we dare not tlv complain,) the eminent preacher and Prolie fessor. Dr. W'm. Williams. Hero let us say P... for it may he the last opportunity we'll have, that for clear, concise and convincing logic rc" in the puiplt, we have never seen Dr. Willir lams equaled, much less surpassed. What he is more, the man was as pure in Ills life as his lie speech was In the pulpit. Greenville will ul' .i so lose the younger members of the laeulty, ' who promise to be as dlstluyulsed as their on seniors. Dr. Toy Is on the highway lodis tinotion us u scholar. W e doubt whether In scholastic theology, any one of Ills age In the Southern stales surpasses him, and still he Isun indefatigable student, mustering the UrlenUil language* and all thut bears on ilibIleal history. Dr. Whltsitt the youngest ol he the l'roleshors, is a man of reinurlcuble intellect; German In its cast, plodding,deliberate, mi untiring and ever developing. These are Mie distinguished citizens Green^l, vllle will lose by the removul of theSemlimry and those curry with tlietn others whose los.s to Greenville society it will be hard to replace. ul How much an Institution of that charucter adds to a small town in a social point of view can hardly be estimated. h The 1'uniillrs ol'such men and their friends who visit them from abroad together with 'P| the students who are always weil behaved, M" generally well educated and a positive benM" e:it to the social circle, will be missed by the ,/J people of Greenville, and their removal <*',f much regretted. ?j. The removal of the Seminary has been long ' "J. cqptemplated, and we suppose It is altogether for the best. Gf that weare not tojudge. Wc ? , can only express what we think Is tne uni. versa! regret that Greenville Is to lose some jjj" of her mbsUestimublc citizens. fur Hints for the .Month. Ib; So backward was the spring, find so e<e slow was the growth of vegitation during IH- the dry, cool monthof May, that tho fariner scarcely thought he had a crop to cultivate until tho wot spell in June, ,i>;e when the crops grew apace, and grass 'he urew hydra-headed, and partook of tin he vegetating qualities of Jonah's gourd. These causes greatly retarded tiio cultiva. 0r tion ol' the crop, and hence most farmers mi will have the work of June to do in Ju us- Iv ; but before the end of the month, il ll" the work is well done, both corn and colton should be laid by clean and healthy, s." Whatever ploughing is dono in either bi nd these crops must now be done as a very m" shallow cultivation, for the plants are too L'"*, near the tiino of maturing to have their im roots cut by deep ploughing. The sweep, c I made to run as shallow as possible, is the >r- only plough now to bo used in either r n crop. Keep the hoes going also, mid nevor stop hoeing a crop as long as any grass l0f can be found in it. Spears of grass left this early will become tufts before the *nt crop is harvested, and tufts of old grass (,1j! have a very draining effect upon all sumn'l, mer crop*. ,ot The small grain has been harvested, ih- and much of it perhaps threshed out and to housed. If ho, it is safe. If not probahlv* innuf aP thft Afitu unrt whnof hni'n I?aa? j, frequently drenched sine* out and Suockin od. In this "O-je the ^:?in may be as valng ' "& as ever,- ont tho straw is not ho pood, "'inna,.possibly, scarcely worth the saving, and therefore a substitute for that much ho lost forage should bo nt once sought for. en For cattle this will easily be found in the fs- turnip crop, about which we have more to say next week. For horses tho German millet should now be planted, sown to broadcast on rich land, and harvested m- when the heads are just tilled out with m* seed. If this grain cannot bo had the best spot of stubble land should be sens. lected, ploughed and harrowed until as iiii smoothc as a floor, and then let alone. It to will produco more per acre than will ll.e have been lost in the grain straw in ex1(!? cellent crab grass hay. Besides this, the .ch stubble land can yet be planted in peas ips for winter forage and muku an abundant yield. oli to ^ Economically should be >ni run through the cutting knife. The next he best method is to thresh, feed the grain ry. by measurement, and throw the straw l". into the rack.

This discourages the growth of iot wheat in the Cotton States. \Ve have alle ways thought ifr profitable to wash our ;cs wheat as we sent it to mill. Washed ir_ wheat has always given us better flour by thnn unwashed. This should not ncccswc sarily be so, but it lias always proven so 1,L' in oiif experience. Wash we'll, dry in the !?[ sun and send to mill. Washed or not, g. wheat should be thoroughly sunriod on a is. sheet between the hours of iO and 4, some o- clay during July, and again about a month after. ThLs is the best preventive i' against woovil, if returned to the bin hot ry and dry.
