Our iiKusilly good tempered brother 01; the 3 far ion Star lists h;ul his hile stirred j "up.

Marlboro Planter, and while dancing on j its grave cries for more new made mounds, over which to demonstrate his I "exceeding groat jo.v.'' After he recovers from this lirst outburst of joy in reference to the Marlboro Planter, he jiays his respects to the rest of us, in these words, which would seem to be as malicious as it is gratuitous: 4,Wewlsh all ol" our brethren of the press " "t'lrouidaout *?ur *<>iic prosperity, hut we do *"**say <*<h1 speed the day, when every 'patent ' "oat ilf' in tlic State will pass under 'a " tduckj iwill of darkncs,' lis the Marlboro j Planter lias.

Hcplv to Dr. Maxwell, Eililor Prcsx and Manner : In your issue of tlio 2{>, inst., wo notice! mi article over the signature of ,1. (.'. -Maxwell in reply to "Many Democrats" in reference to the formation of the "new county" of Ninety-Six. We tlo not pro- j pose to enter into a discussion of this question, which has been so fully exposed through the eolums of your paper?the guardian of the public interest?as a needless source of oppressive taxation upon an already Impoverished and bankrupt people, yot wo do most solemnly protest against the position, which the Senator has taken in regard to the matter of a "new count}-." The conditions upon which he promises to acquiesce in the move, are that Ninety-Six will bear the greater portion of the expense, and that the corners of Abbeville, Laurens and ! Kdgotield, embraced in said county, must ! assent to its formation. Does he not by | this, declare himself to be the Senator of I Greenwood or of "Ninety-Six county," i and not of Abbeville county? Does he represent the wishes and interest of his constituents of Abbeville county, or does I... ,1 ll.? ?.?' fi..ii._4Sf?l,o i.fl Iiv; Utnit'^aiu mv; t vtw v/* ftit uutio i his constituents, and pander to the wishes of a small minority, or at least, a "corner" <>f the county? As tho representaj tivo of Abbeville county, he is bound to in-present the wishes or the majority of the whole people of said county, ami if i it is their desire to defeat the new county, ! he is equally bound to their representative, to oppose the move. If he represents the interest of Ninety-Six without j regard to the wishes of Abbeville county, I then Abbeville is without representation. | In the next place, we would ask what I are the wishes of his constituents whom, j he claims, by virtue ol' his ollice, to represent? .Mr. Editor, tho uueoutpro! inisin^ tight, which you, the mouthpiece of the tax j layers and citizens ol Hie I "Ixunior iMii!ntv.M have waned atfainst j this scheme, since its) inauguration, is too well understood to be mistaken, lias not Abbeville county throughout almost ! the entire length ami breadth of her territory?save the little village of NinetvI Six and immediate community, expressed its disapprobation of tiic move, i through your columns? There is but lone other section, froin which wo have | not heard, and that is the extreme norlh| oast "corner'' of the county, and to that ! section, yes to you, fellow citizens of Irj win's M ills, do we appeal for a public cx[pi'c'ssiou in the matter, in order that our j representatives may not mistake the | wishes of their constituency. Let every township by a mass meeting of its citizens, publicly decide this question, and forever deckle its future agitation. Senator Maxwell, also misrepresents, doubtless unintentionally, the sentiments 'ami motives of the* citizens of (Jreen! wood ami the lower portion of Abbeville j in the following: '"Lf'Many Democrats* think that this section of Abbeville is opposed to smalt counties they mistake. I know there arc some who believe courthouses, Courts and all their appendages are a curse, and the further you are from them the better." If lie would take the trouble to in! form himself upon the status of<JreenI wood in this matter, he would tind only I one white citizen within the incorporate: i limits, who would vote for the new county, while at least ninctenths of the taxpayers of the entire township would oppese it. This is also the feeling pervading the sections of Midway, White Ilall and others?all of which are embraced in ; the proposed new organization. Af;ain he says?"the grc.it objection to Ninety-Six county has been a fear of increased taxation and the local opposition of Greenwood, on account of cuutiticrcitil rivalry" The lirst objection assigned we admit is true, and it is for the mercantile fraternity of tireenwood to certify to the correctness of the latter. It is for them to sav whether thev allow the nub-1 ljc weal to be sacrificed to personal interest. Wo nre not prepared to believe that; Circuit wood, whose citizens have ever I been known for their public spirit and i progression?who were the iirst to agitate' tlje move of secession which was to deli v-1 er the South from oppressive taxation, is! not actuated by the wane high motive in i their opposition to the "new county"? ! and we dare say, should the proposition! to form u new county at (Jreenwood bol suggested, all her tradesmen would op-J pose it strenuously on the grounds of unnecessary taxation. iMANY TAX PAYERS. Tranquil and Mount Pleasant Editor Press and Banner: The Methodists down at Tranquil elnncli on Soulh Abbe\ Ulc circuit have had their protracted meeting. Several years ago the membership of old Tranquil and Ml. 1'leasant ehnrehes were ! consolidated, and one of the church buildings moved to a central point. Old Tranquil formerly was situated about one and a half miles from the Jvlgeiicld line on the Long (,'ano road. >It.

When Cush was brought to trial, Anderson Davis, Jim Harris (Cush's lather,) j Hark , and Wince Caldwell were arrested and committed to jail. Wince made a full confession, implicating Cush, Jim Anderson and Hark, and said that Cush planned the ailair ami struck the fatal blow. Cush was tried for the murder and found guilty.

The editor of the Cltrulina S]>nvt>tn has lieen over to Charlotte to see how the no fence law works in Mcckle ibnrg. IJesays: We talked with white and black, landlord and landless, and all acknowledged that when the contracts of anothei year an- made, every Inconvenience will lie i. ."ranged, and everyone satlsticd with the justii and fairness of the new law. Anions the re.-tills, or effects, of ! the new law, we may mention that all of the j vacant lands around the town have lieen nut under cultivation and made to produce line j crops; dairy farms have been established, and mill: and butter can he purchased for less than it takes to feed a cow, untile now selling afi-j cents per gallon); permanent pastures have been established around; the town in which cows can be pastured at reasonable rates; and besides, since the stock have been enclosed, vcgclatat ion is more iuxuricut and and a cow tied out to a stake witli a long rope can easily pick enough {truss to keep l?er In I good condition, at this season, without IVeilI ins;. Tile farms and fields that were under fence remain so. but all around charlotte, lleldsaru to be found without a fence; and there is a small patch of corn on Main street, near the centre of the town Without a fence, which remains untouched by man or beast; " and in a few years we expect to see her heanI tlful yards and lawns unprotected by anything save hedges, or very light ornamental I fences. 1 Our observations and tiHimriex 111 .vtocKien>{burg only serve to sln-iighten the convict ion long Celt, thai lliti stock law iscxaetly what Is needed to put our people upon the high road j to agricultural prosperity, The New York Times among other things says: "Hampton's won! is law in Columbia.
