?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

Of this amount the proposed
new county would take,....

From the above it will be seen thai
pay into the County Treasury for tlx
support of tlic county government S;.f>31<j~
or in round numbers about lour thousand
dollars while the whole taxes of tin
county is less than seventeen thousand
dollars. 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. Id a slnturlu liin* tlicy propose to iro tl

Itanco of twelve miles from Ninety-Six. i
. i We confess that we arc surprised that j
any body outside of tho town of NinetySix
should be in favor of this additional
I burden to our farming interests. 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.

~ j lot us [nit it at -two million dollars. The

.. what will likely be needed for public
; buildings alone. First, the court house j
s|certainly will not cost less than SIO.OOO |

I cost not less than ?0.000,?ours cost $fi.S0i.

' j lay of -sjs.ooo to begin with. To raise this .

' 1 words, nine dollar# a thousand on the 1

'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

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,

j is right for a man it must also he right \
1 for a woman. If wrong for a woman it (
j must for the same reason he wrong for a i
j man. It will not do to say such a thing! j

! with every ape. If morals only have j
j their liase hi a convenient public opinion
Jit is a baseless base; but if morals are <
I based upon something higher than per- ?
' petually lluctuating and changing public ?
| opinion, then the issue cannot be avoided \
! by the interjection of the term milady- i (.
like, and it must be.conecded that it is
; morally as wrong for a man to do these <3
! things as for a woman, and the same c
j measure should be meted out to both, t
without this manifest partiality and ine- j
i quality." !l
I The preacher elsewhere speaks with;"
familiar knowledge of the history j{
of t!io civilization of ancient Atl:on&, and j u
j discourses of the high morality of the 0
People of the days of Peiides,
j continuing, comments on the licentious-! (
! ncss of the men of the succeeding years, j
! seemingly forgetful of the part the\vo-ir

; men performed in the "giddy dance." I
| If the women had been kept pure would js
not the result have been different? It 1'
! whs the "inequality of the moral mens- *

high position in science, and morals and s
the purity of her citizens. It was the 0
j "equality of the moral measurement" ^
. that degraded Greece, and the "equality u
of the moral measurement" will degrade ti
j us now. j!
While iu thQ abstract there is no differ-! tj
I ence in the rule laid down in holy writ In

such thing as "equality of the moral c

Editor Pre*# and Banner: ,
It is unnecessary to say that our ramble i
imid the mountains is lon^ to bu rcmem- ?
bored, and there is no section which offers
a more attractive fi-dd t > tourist than
Transylvania County North Carolina, to
ivhich I have previously alluded. 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

ection only needs railroads and capital [,

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. The hist act of this amusing drama ^

Ashville the next place of our destina- J'1

undred inhabitants. It is situated in ut
ie juncture of the Kwannanoa and m

irrouhded by lofty mountains, which n.::
ve it a romantic appearance. On the

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

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

Now with regard to the feeling of our pro

at It has been somewhat checked, that tb'

all on both sldea of the house who ar

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

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.

for the best. Gf that weare not tojudge. Wc

stop hoeing a crop as long as any grass
