J, , At tho request of the author we reproduco tho reply of Colonel William Wal lace to a letter which Hon. I). W. Aiken < had written to the Lexington Disputch. j We ee little good to be derived from the t controversy, but as the letter of Colonel "Wallace is couched in respectful language and as'his language is clear and unmistakcablc, and calls for clear and explicit j. an-wers, we reprint it. We are inclined j to the opinion, however, that the blun ders of an intelligent compositor has furJiished Colonel Wallace pegs upon which lie Iras hung much of his letter. In reference to the controversy we would say t I In tht; tirst plare, we think Colonel Ai- j ken's great victory at Lexington should J liavo been sufficiently gratifying to him, "without applying to Ins vanquished nd-J . versary, alter the battle, such words as j "puerile," and "demagogical." These j ftre strong words which Conjrrcwtpen \ should uso with care. "Wo should j liko to seO such expressions 011- J liroly disappear from the columns o:'| tho newspapers of South Carolina when! used in connection with any man who aspires to the dignity of a Congressman.! As between Colonel Aiken and Colonel | "Wallace, wo are for Aiken lirst, la.st and j all the time. But still for all this, we are !n favor of Jgiving Colonel Wallace justicQand a fair showing. lie was as signally defeated at Lexington as it was possible. For the victor in such a case to throw mud at his fallen foe is notiuac-l eordance with tho customs of South Caro-1 Jina Congressmen^ Wo are sorry that Colonel Aiken felt called upon to say an j unkind word of his defeated competitor. Colonel Wallace had a perfect right to ruft for Congress, and after the people had expressed a preference for Aiken he should, in our opinion have remained si * lent. The North Surprised at Our Growth* | Tho fact of tho great increase of tho I population of the Southern States has surprised our Northesn neighbors no less than ourselves, and the Republican newspapers, with a recklessness which is undignified and unbecoming a representa' tive press, has charged fraud in the re\ turns', and alleged that it is systematic, ati?l for the purpose of unfairly increasing our power in the National Government. There are no doubt thousands of ifnorniit voters who believe a storv so absurd tbat any man with lialf an eye, liould sefl the falsity of such a proposition. In the first place, enumerators ilre, from the nature of their office, men of intelligence. In the next place, the enumerator is obliged to furnish the flames and residence of citizens. For making a false return the penalty is very feverci No single enumerator is suffi? cicntly tnterested as to overstate the population of his township or ward. And if he did add fictitious names, the fraud would be so palpable that the perpetrator of the eriruo would be suro to ? be discovered i ** From these circumstances, wo think it . fair to set down the reports, North and Slnnfh ou nhanlntpl v onrroct whom names are omitted. Iu order that our readers may know to what straits tho Republicans arc reduced for campaign thunder, we reproduce some articles on the subject from a few of thcj leading Republican papers of the North. The Official Returns. We are greatly indebted to our friend Hon. F. A. Conner for tho official return of Mr. C. J. Pride, Supervisor of tho Census for the First District of Routh Carolina. We are only sory that wo have not the official returns of tho whole State. Tho official figures vary a little from those .. Riven by tbo P.crtistcr. If there is one thing more than another to gratify South Carolinions, it is tho nearly equal and ind rapid increasoof population in every "* part of the State. . The increase of the population of the towns has boen very small in Abbeville connty, while the total increase has been . 7,928. This shows that Ihero arc on our farms nearly eight thousand more person* than there were in 1870. When it is remembered that, at various times within the pastdecado, great hatallioiiS of our colored people have gone to other ,. States, under the Reductive influence of agents seeking labor for the building up of other agricultural intrests, every true citizen of the County must feel prouder of old Abbeville. This increase of population will add to our wealth and property. V* ' There are more people to till tho sail, and to ChcoUrage anil support business of every kind ; and lis an inevitable result, it showes that the day is not lor distant '. when our lands will be in active demand at greatly advanced figures. Proposing to Look into 3Iatters. Our correspondent "Saluda," makes Bomostrongassertions in another column in reference to public trusts, about which we acknow ledge that we know very lit'.tlo< ThtS lioiso fund we believe has about vanished, but wo know nothing of tho large estate left by Dr. I)e La Howe for tho benefit of tho poor children of the County. Our correspondent asks the grand jury to look into tho matter, and We hate no doubt that those most directly interested will give them all the information they want. The complaint about j these public trusts comes fiom one of our best and most reliablo citizens, who is willing to give his name if necessary. The publicare entitled to all tho facts, and it is the duty of those in chargo to give the information, and it is the duty of the grand jury to make an expression on the matter, so that unnecessary fears may be set at rest. ?

'..Kind words are ever grateful to the ear, " Hud to know that one's efforts t<> perform - a duty faithfully are appreciated by the public is truly gratifying to tho newspaper publisher. In tho discharge of the responsible duties of a newspaper publisher an editor will often unint ntionally ^ivo offence, and as frequently his coin ay | is expected to run counter to tho sentiments and feelings of others, and if he heard only from those who are displeased ( lie would indeed have n cheerless time, liut when such words ns our corrospon- 1 dent "A," furnishes this week, are sent 1 to us they go a long way towards making ( us forget our own mistakes, and in oblit- 1 crating any little differences that may ex-1 ist between our enemies and ourselves. 1 It is a touch of that nature which makes' the whole world akin. m ? ^ Butler ami Cash. Contrary to a previous determination,! *ve have admitted still another article in : reference to the Cash-Shannon due!. We! nee little good in the interview, and fear | that it will calJ loriu onomer lv.imr irum Colonel Cash, and the talk about thoduel may thus be continued indefinitely. We are perfectly tired and thoroughly disgusted with the whole subject, and trust that the good Lord may save us any fur- j! thor infliction of letters from Colonel 1 Cash or any more interviews with Gen-(i eral Butler. Wo have had enough of it. J, ihall Vr i- Elect Treasurer and Auditor ] fJ Our correspondent "One of the lYo:de," asks the County Convention totako lie matter under consideration. There ire tivo sides to every question?and this j juestiou is no exception to the rule. If ^ A O are t<? have a foot race for these oQices, i it is only just to the people and the candi- j lates, that they should know the fact at |c nice, in order that tho coursers should d have time to prepare themselves for theij'. race. We presume that tho present in- ': eumbent, Captain IVrrin, could beat the i world for Treasurer, but tho ollico or j Auditor will l?e made vacant by the re-1 li fusal of Colonel Robertson to serve for j' another term. A very interesting raceM could be made for this o(ftc->, if we could only ?ct a sufficient number of candidates " for the position, i , The Heeling1 for Next Sale Day. j1 We ask attention to the notice of Colo- ' ncl J. S. Cot li ran, County Chairman, call- v ing for a meeting of tho County Club on J " Sale Pay, before which business 01 iiicja urea test importaoeo will be brought. | fj The question deciding exactly how thejc primary elections are to be held is to bo i11 settled. The sentiment, so far as we are f' able to learn, is almost a unit for a fair ? election, and this in our opinion can on- ^ ly be secured by the County Club taking control of the olection, by appointing im- |j partial managers, and ordering elections w at the usual voting precincts. Tho plan j [ of allowing local clubs to hold elections ii in the interest of particular candidates should be discontinued. L.et tho chairman appoint managers for each box, and ^ let tho managers take an oath to do jus- ' tico to all tho candidates. f f?,..rrr fllmnvi'l; Pfl I>IT T. ,V TIOV.

Their descendants did noble ser-!' vicoin the Into war, and as quiet citizens J none ure more prosperous or deserve more j honor: t Mrs. Mary I'ruitt, wife of Mr. John I'rultt. J of Abbevilleillstrict, is the mother of sixteen ' ..i,i!.irnn_r<>urtfr>n sons and two daughters. 111 Kight.of thesons areon the muster roll, the \ eldest of whom commands a company in tlie 1 1st regiment in tne militia of this state. Sev- 1 em I of these children arc well settled and live * comfortably On their ovrn farm*. Mr. John ! l'ruitt, the fitlier, is an independent farmer, ' clear of deht, and enjoys ease and plenty amid the smiles of his family and the good will and esteem of his neighbors. N Lieutenant James lihwk was recruiting in J the neighborhood of Mr. l'ruitt, and thescv- 1 enth and eighth sons, warmed by the sacred 1 love of country.and glowing with patriotic J zeal, evinced a disposition to enlist. Mr. J'rn- J itt, though a revolutionary soldier, and huv-jK ing at heart the honor and interest of his I v country, gave way to paternal affection, ami j v hesitated about yielding his assent that 11ij J1 sons might enter the army; but, determined!1no: to exercise lilsauthoriiy to prevent them, i0 he sent Mrs. l'ruitt, his wife, to the place ot rendezvous, to use her influence on tiie occa- f sion. j11 The music commenced, and its influence on [ the sons Wits so visible to the mother that she ; ? abandoned all op]K>sillon, and immediately!' addressed them as follows:?"My children, I s will not say one word, nor shed ono tear to; oppose your wishes?go and serve your country like men." The boys took the bounty, and she went home for their clothes. When about to leave them she spoke to them as follows:?"My sons, do not. shed a tearnnd I will not shed one?go In (Jod's name?and if you fall in yourcountry's cause I will not rojrret it ?hevirtuous, faithful and honest, and my tears are at an end."

' i "How long dost thou require to live? Thlr- j ty years were too many for the ass, but wilt thou be contented with them?'' asked Nature.
