If the absence from town of the usual num-i ber of idlers at this season of tlio year means |. anything, it is fair to ]>resuni(! tliat work on; the farms is being prosecuted with n?ore|' than the accustomed vigor, siuee t lie great I. shrinkage In real esurte and the apparent. . established low values or the products of thej farm and a corresponding cheapness of mer-1 chandlse of every description our people . seeiu t<> realize more fully than ever the great1 need of diligent work aud strict economy, i Capital is more scary and perceptibly more cautious, and the improvident And it harder' j to obtain credit. The merchants are selling their Koods at what would have been consld- j1 red ruinous profits years ago while their ! advance 011 cost for goods sold 011 time to the ] 1 most prompt paying customers are in many 1' instances not more than half the profit that ' would have bciAi demanded in previous) years. On the other haud a majority of pur-1 j chasers are much more cautious as to eon- < trading debts. When forced by circum-j} stances to pledge their crops or mortgage their j ( property tor advances to run the farm, they I j are more particular to trv the market inj, scare.? of the best trade possible. In conipar-1, atively few instances are they disposed to j buv'extravacantlv. The chalice in this re- I , sped Is strikingly apparent, and atfords the ! { jest evidence of the future prosperity ofi, Abbeville county. J While the above is true, our merchants f' have been doing an excellent business, pty- } ticularly in fertilizers anil bacon. The unlireceuented low price of the latter article j has induced a majority of those who might' c need It, during the year, to come to town and ! t make their purchases at cash rates, for fear of! i having to pay higher prices later in the sen-11 son. To supjdy this demand has required' <. thousands of pounds. and occasioned eonsid-1 erable activity In the stores of those who L handle this article. In the mule market th?,re has been perhaps I { ft greater Improvement than in any other U line of trade, as the drovers report their] sales for cash as about ten time* as great as that of previous years, while there Ic lias been a decrease in tho number of credit!!1 sales. Mules have been sold for cash at per-> * haps 12 per cent, lower than last year, and at > * only a slight advance on Western cost and ' carriage, but the poor unfortunate planter i who has been compelled to run hi* farm f on the capital of others has had. as usual, to , " "pay the plj>er" In giving his note and mort-1 e gage Tor Slij to secure an swjor a >:m mine. 11: Owing to the tine croj>s of last yenr.and the 11 fair area which was .sown in oats, the demand | ?/urcoru has not becu.great, although eonsid- [t| erablequantities huve Iw-en bought in this;., market?u much larger proportion than usual j j being for cash. While the low price of corn ' v would seemingly be of great advantage to j that class of improvident farmers who nejr- j, iect to row barley, oats, and the grasses for J thfcir stock, they are little benefited by such reduction when compelled to mortgage their JJ crons for corn at from $1.00 to $1.2r> a bushel:* which they could buy for Kr> cents cash, or for " bacon at 11*4 to 10 cents, which the money IJ would secure at from 6*4 to 7 cents. The! eredlt prices are high for the planter to ti ' pay, but they are not less tlmn the merchant h can afford on the precarious securities. , b An compared with last year, bacon, sugar,? > coffee, flour and molasses are much cheaper. Corn too Is somewhat cheaper but doesn't Indicate as great a decline as the articles;} above named. Front all that we can learn ! j. the price of staple goods will rule lower than ' for twenty years. With the above schedule I work upon we are satisfied that our plant-1 ers may enter upon the year's labor with''1 hopeful prospects of a satisfactory result. Thirst for Blood?Petty Tyranny of the Exccuhoncr. j ,j' Kobert McKvoy, who murdered Col. Gregg, some two years ago at Granitevllle, is to be | hung at Aiken next Friday. The Governor i? ha* refused to interfere with the sentence of I o the Court. McEvoy's crime was an unpro- ii voked murder, and we suppose if anybody j should be hung, he deserves the extreme pen- ;\ ?lty of the law, but wo hope to see t he time ^ when capital punishment shall be abolished j j: in this State, and murderers will be securely i contiued, whore they may commit no further]. crime against human ilfe. |lf murderers arc put I' where they can do no harm, that should sat-11 isfy the demands of Justice. The law should | not demand the death of it* subject, nor^ should Christian charity seek to send a poor 1p guilty wretch prematurely into the presence of; an otrended God. ; It ift|miufu! to notice the present public thirst for blood in South Carolina. The I.esjiv-i1 lator* who arc ?upj>oscd to represent the led- ] iugsof tho pootiloat large, bnve shown an in-; o creased appetite f<?r the ;r~re of offending 11 brothors, white the (Courts thoinseives who! Kit in our temples of Justice, as well as some j v of our lending newspapers, which should be|* teachers of morals as wel as of humanity, . have joined in the hounding of poor crimin- J nU to the death. In this-jood old Common-, wealth we think even the worst of men jJiave rights which wc should respect, o as well as claims upon our humanity which 1 s should not be disregarded, and it is to be regretted that so grcut a newspaper as the1 n Charleston A'cu<* am! Courier should be among the first tocKll upon the courts to hurriedly! condemn and execute an offender against the! t' lav, but much more Is it to be regretted when I a ]>olitlcal Judge shall, in response to popular clamor, convene his Court In exfa session , rj and order u murderer executed In three weeks; from the day of the commission of his crime. | All this Is in keeping with the vindictive- n HO*# with which the sentence of the law is to: he enforced against poor McKvoy. A corres- j pondetit In a recent number of the Churlrxtun J Sew* untl Courier lias much to say on this I subject, and, from the tenor of the Vrtlcle. wej would inter that the writer would have Iiim ; liuiiK, inure for thft eccentric!ties of u dls-j wised mind, und because lie is it poor devil] anyhow, than for the awful crime which he' committed apiiimt society in the murder ofj? <"ol. Urecit. To show tho petty tyranny with which he is treated, even his tlddic has' . been taken away from hi ni, and all food, ex-1., cept that which is prepared In the Jail, is de-l . iiled him. because, forsooth, the executioner' c may he afraid tluit McEvoy inuy, by his own 1 v handIput an end to bis existence, and thus) deprive the jailor of the exercise of the prlvl-j .r Inge, under the forms of law, of taking the ,, life of a fellow luau.
