The ?t?\7 Cotnity >I'jTo;nont. j Tn order that our people may Vosin to] think about their ability to moot tho in-1 creased expense that would be incurred; by the adoption of the proposed Consti-j tutional Amendment reducing the area of the counties, we offer some figures below. I ?"?._ ;? r.-.r thr foi's and 'I flu f.lUlll.nt Lf. iv... ... Salaries of tlio officers of Abbeville county. Of course where the f?-es are paidj <>nt of tha Treasury, hut where the fees! are contingent on the services rendered; in such offices ns the Probate Judge, the. Master in Equity, the .Sheriff and the! Clerk, in order to make t!ie salary snfli-j cient in the smaller counties the fees will hayc to be raised, so (hat a citizen having! business in one of these offices must pay j higher than he would have done if the) county is not divided. The law. we he-,' lievc, requires some of these officers to keep their offices open every day. In Abbeville county the salaries and fees in Abbevillo county are estimated as fol-' lows: Sheriff and Deputy Sl.OOo j Clerk 1.500 J Auditor 1.20!) ! Treasurer 800 Master in Equity GOO j Probate Judge l..r>00 ! School Commissioner fiOO j Co. Commissioners Clerk 1.000 j Supervisor of Registration 500 I In this estimate of the Sheriff's in-j come no allowance is made for the board j of prisoners, as that item of expense, would be, under the proposed arrangeinent, no more than it is at present. ? These figures are about as low as competent men can he found to do the work In the State officers the increased expense will be something. About ten new Judges, and as many additional Solicitors will bo required. The Judees now receive a salary of 83.500 annually, and the Solicitor $1,500. The increased annual expense for clerical fom* or new officers in Columbia could not be less than $10.>000. The proposed Constitutional Amendment would add fifty new counties in this State. This woulfl add tho nam^s of fifty new Senators to the pay roll, ($2.~>rt to each.) Tho act of drawing a jury costs $23. In each county there are annually three petty juries and one grand juryfour in all, at a cost of $02. Annual expense alone of drawing juries for fifty new counties would be $1,600. The Jury Commissioner is required to attend Court at a cost of $2 a day?on an average of four days at each Court?$21 a year. For fifty ccunties $1,200. At each Court there nre usually about half-dozen bailiff's at Sl'.O a day fur every day of the Criminal "Court, say six days, at $0 a day, $54. For, fifty counties, $2,700. At each Court thej man who call* %ou rt gets something and it is necassarv to have one of these at every Court in every County, tnciden-j fal expenses at each Court, repairs of; public buildinors, insurance, wood, lights,! wtationery ifce., $?00 a year for each coun-; ty.

There are others again who would require, the . bonded officers to keep their money and papers in their pockets, or in a borrowed *afe, and it is also certain that there are etill a large class who would bo willing to <cut down the fees of the Judges and the Solicitors to half the present pay. There are also many men whothink the present pay of the old county offices would be reduced sufficiently to pay the new offi <;crs. There are yet another class of men who think tho officers who would accept one-third of their present pay in Abbe ville county, are hard to find, mere are others again who think the above figures are all wrong. But it should not be forgotton that the Supervisors of Registration, the Auditors, and tho Treasurers in 110 county receive less than ?>00. tl. Health Dots. Now, when disease is brought to our liouses by the autumn winds, and when death conies to our homes in the tainted air, it behooves our people to bo extremely cautious as to tho condition of their surroundings. It is a well established fact that sickness comes from violated laws of health, and that death is often tho penalty for a disregard of the principles which enable us to resist the approach of sickness. Pig pons, sinks, rotting eabbago in the garden, decaying Irish potatoes in the closet, and filthy grounds around the house are certain ?auses of some of tho most fatal and most dreaded forms of sickness. For instance, a rottinc cabbage iu the garden is open invitation to typhoid fever. Filthy pig pens, and offensive back lots ?re fruitful sources of typhoid fover and diptheria. These diseases never come without invitation in some way. The alternate exposure to the early dews and to tho midday sunshine is promotive of chill and fever. We should now put on warmer clothing than we were accustomed to wear in the hot weather. Let no man suppose that ho is making himself strong and neiiitny uy expuaurc to mo uimj u? ,,, insufficient clothing. We should husband our health resources, and not make unnecessary draughts on our vital powers. Iloaithy food, and sufficient clothing are tho best of protectors from disease. Go to bed with a good square meal in the stomach. m m The Circus will be here next Monday. Bring jour children, and let them have a good time. The clown, the animals, the acting, and the sights generally, well repay the trouble and the expense. Those persons who have a holy horror of the wickedness of c.'rcus performances can rome and see the street procession. That costs nothing. 48^ The Literary Club met last Friday night at tho residence of Dr. H. D. Wilson. After the reading of an interesting war sketch by Judge JJcGowan, a discission followed, which was participated in by all the old soldiers present. The meetings of the Club are alwuyspleasan', and none were more so than tho lust one. The advocates 6f the new County movement will find something interesting in fie Bjeec b by CoL Wilson of York. m<m .M i ju.zamvu**'** wwfvcjrs Our CciiJ:t?on.

CERTAIN TO BE BUILT. j TIio Atlantic and French Iirond Valley Railroad. ; IMow we furnish mmc letters in reference l to this crcat, eiiterpriKe, which must be most I gratifying to every well-wisher of Abbeville j county. As nny one of the newspaper ro | ports or any of the following letters speak In | riddle?. so far a? we sire concerned, we reprint the following extracts with the letters, ami would supplement the statements th"rcin j made by saying In brief that we undvr.-tand the situation at present, to be: The Directors of tho consolidated rna'l are t<> meet In GreenI vllleon next Kridav and Saturday, the i!!?th 1 and 30th Instant, at which meeting the Fresl* j dent of the Company, Wm. Schotleld will be ' present. Ilis resignation and that of five of the existing Directors will then be tendered, when a President and five other , Directors will be substituted, Riving us. with . ?, j,? nr j)|. ! rectors. These gentlemen are to remain in office and io control of the road until it Is I finished from Aiken to Abbeville. After tint i time our men are to go out of office, by frans| ferring the whole matter over to t lie capitalJ Isis to manage in their own way. Wc understand the bond arrangement to he something like this: 7'iat the Directors of the j road, ns fast ns It is finished, will I-sue mortgage bonds at the rale of twenty-two thou| sand dollars ? mile. In addition to Ihe nmrtj gnge bonds, income bonds, not to exceed llfj teen thousand dollars a mile of (he finished : road are to be Issued, making ;i total incumI hrance of thirty-si.ven thousand dollars a mile. Our people ave to turn over the road j anil their subscriptions to the new company, and trust to Providence, and the public beneI fits to be derived from the ureal highway lo I remunerate them for their in vestment. It is I understood that Mr. Schofield, believing that | the stockholders at their meeting in GreenI wood on thoSOth of October, will ratify their | acts, will, on that faith, immediately utter the I meeting In Greenville, go to the money I markets to negotiate the bonds, and as soon as money is realized, that he will pnt a great I number of hands at the work of grading?the j whole road to be completed in two years. Notes of the Asheville .Hecting. We make the following note of the Asheville meeting: Ashkvillk. \usr. 2. ? After i?. long anil somewhat exciting discussion of the situation of aflairs the directors signed the necessary papers looking to a consolidation of the I Atlantic and French Jlro.td route, the Cum| berland Railway of Kentucky, the Morristown, Cumberland Gap and Ohio of Tennessee and the Morristovvn and Carolina Kailway. These roads will form almost a continuous line from Cincinnati to Kastatoe Gap, | where It connects with the projected Atlantic | and French Hroad lload of South Carolina. It Is understood that the gentlemen above named (Schofield and Campbell) refused to enter Inton written agreement to miild the I road under tlie existing contract, but pledged | their word that the contract will be carried ; out under the consolidation. It Is understood I liril nil* parlies me i:uiiK'miwH?u ] propo-e to Issue upon the credit of the comI binatlon and with the bonds tlicy receive | from iljf several companies ten million dollars of bonds front the proceeds of which I they promise to complete the II ie from I Cincinnati to connect with the South CarollI na roads. The Greenwood Meeting. | Of the recent meeting of the Directors of ! the no?d. we reproduce this much of the pubj llshcd report: i The Hoard of Directors of the French P.rond I Valley Hailroad met at Greenwood on Thurs| day night to consider propositions for consolidating with a through line to Livingston, ! Ky. Propositions embodied ii a series of letters | fro Si W. H. Scotic-ld and Messrs. Child and I Oliver, of New York, were laid before the board, and accepted, aflcr long and careful I consideration. The proposition wasfora consolidation of the French Broad Valley Itoad with the road surveyed from Aiken,and with the proposed lines extending through the States of North Carolina. Tennessee and Kentucky which under the terms <>f the contract, are to be completed. Governor Johnson 11aeood. of South Carolina, Is to be president of the consolidated lines, with live, out ol the ten, directors to be chosen by the South Carolina lines. The Issue of bonds and slocks on the consolidated lU:e will be made according I to the original consolidation plan published some time since ana not agreed to. As soon ] as the bonds can be placed, the work of actual ! cnn.triinllnn and en 111 tmicilt. is to bcclll at I Aiken knil be pushed as rapidly as possible: 1 Westward. A meeting of stockholders to ratify the ac-i lion ol" tlio board of directors will be held ill Greenville within the next forty days if the] parties lit Interest ill the North consent to the above terms. , Schoflcld's Letter to rnptnin Porriu. !

No branch of rural Industry Is so tntfh neglected In this country as tlic raising of poultry. Fowls are left to roost In tiees, in cattle shells, barns and every place where they can uet a foothold. No seperate place is thought to be requisite, as they are looked unon us f. e<;hooters, or a sort of necessary evil, only lit. for women and children to attend to. They therefore detlle the feed, and destroy more than they are worth, and it Is not tun onunon to see machinery, wagons buggies, ect.. Ho I foul that they have to be thoroughly cleaned ! whenever used. The kindsgenerally kept ?ie the "dung hill," made up of a:i giad. sund sizes, the average weight being from three to four pounds, and having no destlnclive qualities, as good table fowls, or prolific layers, from continual Inbreeding on the same stock, a1 >d from starvation and exposure, they become no bett'*r than wild fowls, and ro' wortli raising. In the winter tJi?-y are orten t< un<l in a most pitiable plight, with feet frozen to I stumps, and combs and wattles dropping olT' with lrn?t. The consequence Is that ill I lie j winter, when eggs se'I readily, the hens dont" lay. Where the lions lav. is hall the time 1 never khown, nnd the egrrs are brought In j in every staaeof incubations, nnd sent to the I county store as sound?from under the barn, i in the horse-manger, behind the hog-pen fan! ning-inill and every eonceivable place. The majority of ebb-kens hatched, therefore, come by chance; hens steal away, and In In/ forth broods, which, as n rule, have to serath for their own living; and but a small proportion live. I have know 11 large tanners who did not raise a slnhle l?ird during the year, and then 'complained of bad luck. A portion of the chickens had died through exposure, without 'proper coops, and another large part had : fallen a prey to rats, which, in the summer months, when there is no grain in the barn, become fearfi Hy destructive to young poultry. A rat will then attack nnd kill L'osllnps In broad daylight, and carry off chickens with theea'-e with whlcn an old fox wllicarry ofl a ben. There is no use trying lo rnlse poultry without proper houses for laying and hatching, siirtllclent food, care and attendance-in fact, systematic rearing and teedln*. With this, poultry is one of the best paying Investments 011 the farm. i v-?JT jjj!* WJ 'wxmT;?cu JI* A .i [Small Comities a Source of Wealth, Prosperity anil Intelligence* JtV' i "! 1 Han Mr: The v. ?j.W y.'.jjj.n r is C Tlnin'v jroo'l an:!rf>i uy .>ts most siiir. i;:<atloelil:;; !!: p oplev j Sv.U'T-at, ik) ?'?T,r.-n 1 y ri?iin f> j u ? it these tnlcri-.-ts ; 'r mii an' en ro:uh;no.>t from every J S mrv. h k! in u'iuiifevor -tvi; p or !'or:nr.?i se'itcif It Is ti >t ho\v< yi?r, Ihdt | trK very evigilance?It i ?i>iiicilines o-<?r tli.it need 11 as alarm I N iitist'd. urovviiiiout of a ttrRapprehcnslimof { farts, anil Ilia', what was detuned and intend-1 C i as a defence of tin- interest* of the peoide, I heenttios. in scility, an attack upon ihem.

I Yonr argument proccds upon the assnmp-1 (!"ii that every new county 'ormed will entall ii; o:i the people an amount of expense <' l'ial to that of any oilier county now e\l>tin % thai is, if wo donld the number of connt;,. .u. iii,. <i?'n ? <? ? !!! ilnitlilii llio rvtviKrt In this ! thi:i!< .von are mistaken.

Is It not. clear that no otic of the three counties will require more than a' weeks ses-ioti to transact its business? The 1 jyrt.s cannot le more nor less than the whole, i Tii" Judge, therefore, who now presides at Abbevide, wou'd iiav no wore nor less to do in the three conn'lcs than he has In the one, j and of course would not. he entitled to any increase of pay. ll is clenrttirn. that we would have no need of any more Judges, and the. same is true of Solicitors, lint you ask, what about I he Shcritr. Clerk. Probate Judge and fiiher oillcers; they will certainly lie needed in each of the new counties NVhile'ha' Is true a.?

Judgcaud M-tsler, are tione of them salaried i oillivrs, l>ti' <lep(*ndelit on the fees prescribed >y law. Iftti-y get no business they get no pay. The salary of the other otlieers is also proportioned to ihe amount of business done in the respective comities. The pay of the Treasurer. Auditor and other salaried officers In Charleston connly is much larger than in | Abbeville, bee niscof the Increased ainonnt of hininess in that county, and ?oit would be proportionately less in each of the new eonni tics. Tiie pay in every Instance i,?. proportionlate to the work done, as it should he. and hence e.innot be an increased himl.'n 0:1 the people of any county because it is small, small counties In other States all have their full quota of oillcers who live, ami yet the people are not burdened more than we are, | (iovernmcnts are not established with a view : to the emoluments of otiice, hut for the Interest and convenience of the people, and no political or .judicial sub-divisions of territory are made with referenc to the extent, of area I to tic embraced, but with reterenee to Ihe ; number of the population who inhabit, it. It | was on this principle that the colonial districts were sub-divided. Old iJistrict. which embraced about onc-'ourth of the State, has been cub-divided into a dozen others, of which Abbevil'H Is one,and so the j work should so on. its the density of population increases, and the interests of the people demand, till every man c.'in leave his home in j the morning, attend to his public duties til. his county seat.rnd return in protect his fatn| iiy ami rest under his own roof at night. I<et nie point you to another view of the subject? I on the sore of expense. Take the j.:ror who { resides beyond a distance f ten miles from j Abbeville Court House. Ho is required by law I') auejio me seswmn* u. nr.iri m-viii i weeks during tin? year (if hi* gets oft" earlier it i is ills good fortune and the p resellt system of !arg<* counties is entitled to n>credit, for it, 1 [ and sit the low estimate of M o;i per day, lie Is I subjected to an expenseof ?ili."0. Consequent ; on the inconvenience to wiiich h" Is subjected i in the discharge of his public duties, to say ! nothing of the loss to his .ithe? private interjests irom a want of ills Judgment In the ill[ rection of his affairs at home, and tlie exposureoi liix family at night. Thestrentth of my argument is in no way diminished l>y the i fact liiat but lew men arc cailel upon to act. j as juror*--. It Is wll for trie present system i thai there are not more. We have no right to i ItnpfNe a s; stem that will oppress tiie one cit| izeii. which If It involved fhe masses at one jnnd the same time, would be inslantly r??pndialed by t'lem. A system which requires | such a s-'critlcc of one. or n score of citizens I nt one time, will require tlie same sacrifice of e icti and every one in Ills turn. S iy there I are annually Itturand Jurors, and 21 petit juI rors in attendance on court, the aggregate | amount expended by the 12 jurors, al the 1<>W I estimate of ?I per day fur the full term of the I sessions, would beSii.Hwl annually for thejnj rors aloti'-.and who can say thai' they are riot required for the full term of the sess'ons. j 'I'll'' law makes them necessary to the organisation of the court, and they must remain there till tiie end. unless sooner discharged in i tli^ di-erellon of the Judge. Add to Ihls experuliturc that amount, incurred by the cloud ! of witnesses, and then the number of parlies j litigating, ami we have an amount which in i less than live years would defray all the expenses of erecting court houses. Jails, poor I houses, ifcc. Add still to the above the further expense of the citizen who in pursuit of his j private Interest*. is compelled to go to tiie court house and cannot return the same day, | by reason < f the distance, an I we have a fair | estimate of the burden and inconvenience atI tending the present system of larije counties. I The argument, against, small counties on tiie score of expanse, therefore, cannot be maintained, but raliier should lie hurled with i crushing force against tiie present system. In I less than ten years tiie saving to tiie people ot Abbeville county would defray the expense of all the puflic buildings of the new coun1 ties, build their bridges and put thnlr public i roads in perfect order which is far from being j tiie condition of the latter now. Our roads [ are scarcely passable. Jt is witn inn uimnsi idifficulty the citizen can sot to the court ; house tit any season, nnil in Winter and j Spring it is impossible from some quarter* to travel over them. This Is tlic result of the present system of large counties. Cut them i into small counties thereby diminish tlie expense to the people, concentrate their energies on a smaller area anil we will have better j roads and bridges, our people will become I more intelligent because thrown together more frequent ly for as "iron sharpened! iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friends." This fact Is abundantly Illustrated by reference to those counties in which the people are so remote that, they rarely meet their fellow citizens,and are consequently {shut out from intercourse with the world. The highest degrecof intelligence is found In and around the towns and villages of the country, and decrease as we recede from them Our wits are sharpened by contact ; with our fcllo\r?, new life, energy and enter1 prise is infused into the masses and the whole community put upon a hisiher plane?the re| suit?greater intelligence and maternal prosi perity. Small counties are a necessity and i the sooner we have them the better for iis. | " Harper's Magazine for October 1SS2.

There must be an InstluUve apprehension that if a person seized wl?li a faintingor other fit fall into the rfcumbi'i.t posiison, death Is more {Imminent. I must have driven a mlleto-dny . while a lady fainting was held upricht. I ; founil her pulseless, white, ami apparently dying, and I believcthat If I had delayed ten j minutes longer she would have really have I died. I laid her head down on a lower level : th-iti her body, and immediately color returnJ ed to her llps'aud cheeks and she became conscious. To the excited groug of friends J sab): Always reiiierntier this fact, namely, fainting Is caused by a want of blood in the brain ; the heart ceases to act with sufficient force to send the usual amount of blond to the brain, and hence the person loses conclousn s* because the function of the brain aso<. Kcstorc the blood t<? the brain, and instantly the person recovers. Now, though the Mood is propelled to all parts of the body bv the aclion of the heart, yet It Is still under the influence of the lavs gravitation. In Hie erec' position the blood ascends to the head against gravitation, and the supply to Ihe br..in is diminished, as compared with the recumbent position, the hearts pulsation brin?T e<|ual. If I lien, you place n person silting whose heart is nearly ceased to beat, his brain will tail to receive blood while y you lay liitn down, with trie head lower than the heart, blood will run Into the brain by the mere force of gravity : and in fainting. In sutliclent (juantity to restore consciousness. Imlci d. nature leachcs how to manage the fainting persons, for they always fill, and frequently are at once restored by the recumbent position Into which I hey are thrown.? : Ex.

Promoting 31ilk. j The follow in*: from tlie I.onrtan Live Stock I Journal Is a pood statement of some practical I points suggesting the extent lo which milking q ualit ies are dependent on treatment and 1 trainii':: | "A copious flow of milk, sustained throncti many months, is a quality which has been i produced by art in domestication. Wild cati tie rarely provide more than enough milk to I rear their own offspring, and the How of it is I <if comparatively short tluiaflon. Small In I volume, the milk Is rich in quality, but the lacteal organs t-oon dry off again This, of course, is In harmony with the requirements .of the young animals in a wild state, and Is a 'correlation of the roving life and hap-hnswird ! feeding of thedams. Mom mlllc tlian the calf i requires under such conditions would lie a 'waste of material energy which nature does nol encourage It would, moreover, he nn encumbrance to theother. Wild cattle arc neither good milkers nor good fatleners, and in | patts of England where calves art; allowed to ] run with their domesticated dams geneyUion | alter eencratiou, the breed of such auiniaN Is not famous lor milk-giving. I.Ike that of the mare and ewe. the milk is smaller In quantiI ty, rich In quality and short of duration. The desultory and irregular sueking of a calf, or foal, or lamb is not conducive to the iievelopI nient of a large flow of milk, and It distinctly I tends to shorten the How. Hand milking of I similar character has the same ell'ect. Young people are allowed to learn to milk on cows who are going dry for calving, not those who are still in full flow Beginners soon dry up a cow's milk, and hud milkers do the same. "Heavy milking properties, then, arearliflclal, in the sense that they have been developed under domestication, and liy careful breeding, tor a given end; yet. like many othi er qualities, are little more than mere germs | In nature, they become hereditary by long I lipase. Few sorts of animals are moresusj ceptitile than cattle of being moulded Into | what, we want: no physical quality is so ea?d] ly trained and developed as that of giving ! milk. It is a function which, constantly varying of Itself, can be dwarfed or extended at I will, liy means of careful training, kind treatment anil intelligent breeding it can be (leveloped and madeheieditary; an opposite system keeps it In a state of nature. The I habits of a cow and the food she receives have a great deal to do with her milking powers; . oixl cll.titt ImiiiLtiil imr ilnnc llw* I'ikI Tlie practice of hand-milking lias nil along 11I'lliled greatly to Hit- development of tIn* I lacteal glands, and tlilt development has heI eotne hereditary In our best milking breeds. The ewes of the I.arzae breed of sheep, from whose milk the famous Kni)iiefortcheese Is j made In France, have been hand-milked lor I general Ions, so that their milking properties I are now considerable and Inheriied. ISy re! piatcdly exciting the teals It is even pos'-ihle j to cause nn animal that lias never home ofl| spring.to yield a small i|Uantity of milk, and I a cow sometimes remains barren several years a Her having had a calf, giving a protltaj ble iiuantily of milk all the while." ? ? Extravagant Praise. [J. Jl. in Amoci'ifv Reformed Prrxbi/tcrimi.] In these times of excess and running into ; extremes, the public prints often misled us In i the forming of a correct estimate of men and I of things. Letter-writers, lecturers and sometimes editors indulge in eulogistic notices of professional characters, and speak of .their ' persons and performances In teimsof uninerI lied commendation. It. "may be flattering to the pride of a man to lie lauded to the skies land to be represented as "tome great one." ] but II' possessed of ordli.ary capacity and attainments of what benefit Is all this praise to I him! It pull's him tip with conceit, chiles I him with a spirit of siif-suflle|ency, and begets in him such an air of self importance as j to render him offensive to otIters, I If a student In a eolleg makes a speech, are we obliged to represent, him as being another I Cicero or Demosthenes?

I If a new preacher makes his appearance In the community must we, in noticing his sermons, launch out Into panegyrics, and proI nounce him a Chalmers, a Hputgeon, or a MaI son, or alWhllelield, and as having actually ! surpassed any who had filled that pulpit before. A Juster criticism would be, that the j reverend gentleman delivered a series of discourses, and "so spake" that a good Impres| .-ion was produced, pious people were edified i while a number of the hitherto careless were . niaiie ynnu>, j it ni'iuii ut in iiiv I hounds of iruili to say lurlher concerning the j efforts of (his minister that while he prcacli(ed tin; CJosp.-l iii simplicity, there were pas! sage* of tender and touching eloquence in j Nuine ?if his sermons Have our panegyrists lever relb-cted that indiscriminate praise Is no | praise at ail, thai little men eannot.
