AGAIN, j H?i * Is no ! uiiii Doesn't Understand the Position of the Press and lianncr. gest< Editor,r Prta* and Banner ; and In April last Mr. P. B. Glnss, of Columbia, He was accused of a heinous crime, and the prea charges were made public through the local trim columns of tho Columbia papers. Mr. Glass . men Indignantly denied the charges In his published card, and requested a suspension of public opinion until he could have an oppor- < tunlty to disprove them. The press of the State, with only one exception so far as 1 know, generously forbore further comment. The Prets and Manner, however, distinguish- j>A ed itself as the defender of public virtue and i rcK;, the champion or injured innocence. In a I no? long and labored editorial, it not only tried j t|ial the case and found the accused guilty, but U,|y , with a righteous indignation, worthy of a W1,s better cause, held op ine supposed culprit to wkj, the scorn and contempt of Its readers, at the W|?, same time administering a scathing rebuke ti?., to the Columbia people for their moral cowardlce and want of zeal In exposing villainy. r.. ^ Not content with this, it raised the race Issue, I ht.nl and if It did not roundly assert, it broadly cept hinted, that a "prominent merchant of Co- ^ lumbla" might commit with impunliy an unmentionable crime, while a poor negro 8CV(, would have been promptly lynched upon the piirt mere suspicion of it. The result has fully ?m| \ vindicated the propriety of the course pursu-1 no ,, cd by the press ot Columbia, but places the U11,J 4 PrcM?ti(i Banner in no enviable light.

OitKENwooD, July 8, irso; Eaitor.1 Press anil liannrr : Tha article of "An Old Fogy" In your la ssue, on the subject of Hailroads, deserves massing notice, because It. may mislead tl 'rJcndsof the Savannah Valley road l>y ere iUK false hopes and expectations; beside le himself ought to be relieved, for pity lake, from so gross a misconception. 'An Old Fogy" says, "It 1s believed by cvci >ne in this section, of the Savannah Vallc load, I hat the city of Augusta, upon whoi lependH very largely the completion of tl Vugustn and Knoxville lEoad, * * * wi oon see, if she has not already seen, that vill be much more to her interest to contrll ite what sho would have to contribute, i irder to complete the Augusta and Knoxvlll toad from Tabor Church to Greenwood, I he Savannah Valley ltoad," and distinct! mplies that the-" is u probability of her d< ngso. Assuming that the above statemei if "Old Fogy" js true as to the existence < uch belief, it Is readily accounted for upo wogrounds?first, the "WISH IS FATIIKK TO TIIK THOCOIIT." t is believed because it is desired that houldheso. Second; it may be true tin uch belief exists, hut if so, it betrays an if loraneeof practiced business matters whie k'ill forever preclude the possibility of thei mowing how to build a railroad any when is to ihejustness of this latter charge, is ; lot C.r.OKS IGNOllANCR n thrpiirt of the friends of this Savanna "alley Koad, <for Old Fogy assumes to spea irthenr, not to know thatu contract of co? olidallon has been solemnly rat i lied bet wee lie (ireenwood and Augusta and the August nd Knoxville roads, and that lienee the eoi r>!idated company Is governed hy the res|km Ive charters of I he separate companies 'hat the consolidated company is as nine ound by charter t.i preserve the eonnexio etwecn ?; recti wood and Augusta as were th I'parate companies by their respective cha r*r. Augusta bus 110 more power, if she wer i> inclined, 1 which we know is jnot the case i> elK-ctany chauue. than a new born babi iguin, I deny that the UMI'LETIOX OK Till: al'Gl'sta AND KNOJ vii.lk ltoAD epends any more on Augusta than itdoes o Ireenwood?when I say Orcenwood I desir > be understood as including all the friends < lie road from this point to Fury's Ferry?At usta hasn't done any more than she orlg ally undertook to do?which was to con lete her end of the road and bridge the rivei evond that she does not contribute a ccn lore than (ireenwood does. Such are th lets of the case. Does it argue well, then, fa fie intelligence of "every one" in old Fogy' fction of the Savannah Valley Road, to b intidently relying on an event which thes ictsabsolutely forbid? Aud that too for th urpose of hoi.steiuno l*l? an enterprise lilch lias been so^'lonji dreamt^ and talkei s present indications warrant us toeoncludi ul in a dream.
