We yield to no nian in friendship to Charleston. hut we claim t > be e<jll illy is friendly to other portions o:' the state, anil we are tired of hearing up country people continual- j ly admitting that i: mnkvs no difference whether we prosper or not. so longas Charles-1 ton grows rich by handling our produce. When we e m get better terms for the trans- j 1 orlation cf our freights, or more desirable i markets than Charleston, we s e no good reif on for a refus il, on our par t, to accept thern,' but, oil the other haul, we are firmly! convinced tli it we sh mil uive o-ir tno-i i hearty and cord id support to any enterprise j which looks to the development of any pa*t! of the st ite, and wo are unable Msec any Just j reason f >r barring up any avenue which ! brings prosperity to the mountain counties. If lie g<'!s the best price, what matters it to j the farmer where his cotton goes? The policy of refusing grants to anybody to build a railroad anywhere i> asb'itid as mid-! night darkness,and is an obstruction to the! prosperity of any section of the country. We claim too tint we live for a higher purpose than that of paying tribute to Charleston merely because it is located in oar own State, jind because it happens to be in a corner and cntlre'yoil"ot the direct line from us to the great markets of the \v>.rkl. Shall wc be kept j back, !>nd our material pi asperity f>rever re larded, inertly hecasiso Charleston has recently paid no attention to Railroads, and hecause other an I more enterprising towns have built the needed mil roads, which Char* leston refused to build ? Charleston should ;et its trade by ottering us superior ndvnnt j.ges. and not by the force of arbitrasy legislative enactments against other cities. We say, give Charl->ton all her dues, and even more, hut the up-country owes some-! thing to itself. Let our brethren of the press J vhu are so much interested for Charleston's ; welfirc that they wou'd not grant anybody) itic privilege of building them a railroad i which did not. rua to Charleston, call to; mind an Instance of such noble si-lf-saerlMce i on the part of Cha:l,'Ston, as would make that; city refuse a railroad which did not run by their respective towns. We have heard a great doal of talk about I the prosperity ot Charleston being so closely linked with the welfare of the State. All of! this talk applies with equal force to any other i town?to Greenville, Spartanburg. Anderson, I ( rcenwood, Lauren*, any one of which towns j have built more railroads since the war than ]ia?thc great metropolis of South Carolina.! Charleston is a part of the State?110 more, no! less. If Charleston is to ben tax on our pics- I perity and we are to stop the building of rail-! i-ruls because they do not run to Charleston i then we think the soor.cr the old city is \\ Iped | out of existence the better for us. Let Char-' leston stand or fall on her own merits. Let us j not be so blind as to deny ourselves the bene-1 (it of any railrouJ, no matter by whom built! or whore located. Our country cousins should not !<e j misled by the able and plausible arti-i cics o( the Xcirs ami Charier. That paper ill many ivspcct is a State paper, and one of] which we all have reason t?? be proud, bat where the Interests of Charleston, or the ad-1 vamement of Charleston men is concerned, J vc deem it pre-eminently a local piper, and one whose influence sHd'?m fail* to ea'.l to lis I aid a sufficient support from the count'.v to carry its point, no matter what the result to the remainder of the S ate. Tiie cry of, "Charleston" seems to have a mash* influence no less powerful upon the citizen at the sea shore than upon th:; inhabitant of the remotest corner of the momrains, and the rural I citizen seldom fails to close bis eyes, open his i mouth and swallow all that may be thrown ] into it in reference to the city of "Charles-[ Ion," ? It has not been ?o Ion? a;ro that even our1 P'khJ friend th*> Frre I'.ess may not remem-j ber when Charleston controlled the Columbia ' Mid tireenville ltnilroad. An act of the Lesis" j Jat ure was then necessary to compel tlMtcor poratlon to build a depot and st-?p their! trains at its own town. It may uNo re.i*j <?llect the time when two days of weary i travel were necessary for him to reach Charleston. It may not have forgotten that cotton ' vas then piled mountain-high at nearly 1 i our depots and that freights were delayed to ! Mich a length of time as caused pecuniary lo?s to the citizen. That paper may also rvcol leet that when the Clyde* got po*s"sslon of lUe Columbia and Gvee!ivi!l?j Kail road that they reduce'! the freights on cotton forty teats a bale to Columbia, ami that iitimedi- j jttel.v there after tl.c South Carolina Kailroad, j then under the control of Charleston, raised! lis tarift on cotton from eighty-one cents to one dollar and twenty cents, tind it will not! lie forgotten that thuC.vdes stopped the sys-! tern of charging, for instance, Greenville for- j iy-flye doll'irs on a car of molasses, while Ablievtlic and other stations paid ninety dollars ' for exactly the same freight on n shorter haul. It will not be forgotten that und r the old sys-, tem Greenville secured bacon a', half cental pound less tl.au Abbeville, and that in order j <o spite the Air-Line Itoad, bacon was hauled ! to Greenville, via Augusta, Columbia, and j j lodges Depot?making us at Abbeville pay 1 seventy dollars a carload mora for bacon than Greenville was charged. The Seneca Free' J'ress can no doubt remember that hundred* ; of drays were supported in Charleston at an | ?-xpenso of perhaps twenty-live cents on every Kile of our cotton for twenty or thirty or for-1 ty years. The Xetcs and Courier s:t\s the rail. roads pa'd that twenty-live cents, but country j gndieonsare very likely to think that they l aid the twenly-flve coins by increased railroad chargos, even if they did not pay it cii-! icct'y. With all th??c matters before o:ir eyes' whereby the countryman Ins sulT'ero 1 for tlie j benefit of Charleston, and when we do not know of Charleston's paying a eent to any ) iiilroad since the war, we are incline I to ac-1 ept with thanks any railroad, by whomso-i ever built, no matter from whence it comes or : whither it go<.s. Getting Credit. Our merchants are solvent and fully prepared to comtner.ee the business of sup] lyhijr "cottontots" with the food which tle v should have raised on theirown farms last year, but the short crops of the staple, for the last tv. o years have been insufficient to pay bills for everything used ou thetarm,includingguano, horse feed, home supplies for the family, ' ha rue strings, cotton basket?, axe handles, und every other conceivable article that could tie bought in the stores but which should have been made on the farm. The balances would in iniiiiy instancr* amount to large' funis. With the short profits which our mer- , chants make in consequence of the sharp competition, tliis loss cannot be .sustained from year to year without crippling their business, and to make themseves secure from loss in the future, we believe that credit will lint be so easy to yet in the future as It has l.een In the f ast. A larger number of those who need credit will be compelled to give security by mortgage or otherwise, and very few of those who fell behind last year will be nhle to secure crcdit at all without mortgaging other property than the prospective crop of cotton which has not yet been planted. I Alter thousands of experiments in thiscounty slneo the war, we think it has been' fully demonstratod that no farm will pay which produces no other crop than cotton.. The cotton crop, by actual count, we think! would not employ a hand more than halt' the days of Ihe year, and It would be unreasona-' ble to expect any business to pay which is entirely suspended during the half of the year, i Kveiy cotton farmer can r; 1 is-e liis own food 1 without materially diminishing his cotton , crop,anil where the food crop is neglected < failure and ruin are the legitimate results ol 1 cotton farming. Wo believe there are no e.\- , ceptions to this rule. \ n ? ? tr | 1 Cows S'at'llorcd I'ndor a Tree. !' ! t "Where has your milk cow been during all'" tills cold, bad weather? It is to be hoped that j, she hu:i a better shelter than a fence corner or j a cedar tree, 11 the Christian man ngardcth the Itfc of his beast, how can any man claim ^ to regard the life of his cow which was com- 1 < pel led to take the wind and rain during the " last week? Self-interest, to s;>v nothing of tlie suflering of one's animals, would prompt1 tl the thrifty man to build u house for his cow. if There can he r.o excuse for this dereliction of " duty on the part of tln>so who have wasted u their time since gathering the short crop of j last year. There aie indeed few farms on which a few more hous-s would not be of! profit. If the oat straw can lie saved it will i f:, be invaluable to the cattle during the succeed- ,l! ing winter.

Three cheers :<ir the o!d I.(firrn*vi!tc Ifcrohl and its i:o!dc editor. The // mid stands at the head of tlie newspapers,; and Its editor stands at tin- head of the press ! gang. The Xnii^lity Hailror.tls. We srive elsewhere an interesting editorial from the ChnrU'ston \cw?nml Courier on "the] Rail load situation," which very clearly! shows how unmindful Charleston hashed! In j tile pasi li) lier uesi line: i\m> 111 mi- iii.iuu m i railroads, and perhaps in unmistakeablej terms the destiny which awaits that city if! she docs nothing to draw business and trade to her marts. We think however, Ilie Xcws onil (\>uritfr, does an injustice to the railroads of the Slate in styling them '-hos ile combinations." We think an impartial public would give them credit for running the roads on business prln-1 ciplcs, purely w ith a view to milking money ! by giving the 1irgcst accommodations and tho quickest service f>r the least cost to the ! public. We think it con not be proven to the satisfaction of any one that any railroad in the State is 'hostile" to Charleston. Tiie' proper way to s '.y it is, we think, we of the i up-country have been frcod from the domino- j tiou of Charleston, and we can now travel by | any route wechoise, or send our freights to' any point that may be most desirable. We hope that Charleston may builil the, propped new lines of railroads, when they I may come in competition with other roads and thus be ot some benefit to lis. The old railroads have passed out of the linnJs of! Charleston, and Instead of the slow-poke! trains that Jolted us for two days when wc j went to Charleston, we now have elegant j coaches that leave here at mid-day and reach i that city by bed time of the night of the j "?? "> Inutivul t\f uvilf.urr I tvrt rlflVC f/?r tho Xcir.inn<l Courier to reach u , as formerly, it now comes promptly on Hip evening of the same tli'V on which it is published. For these great improvements we are in*' iLbted to the l.'lydgos, ami 11 Charleston expects to get ahead of tills "combination*' against slow coaches, poor accommodations and iii^li tariffs, it wlil have to improve considerably upon its former dreary marches. A i'cnnnou r.rror. We linve hea d K said f;om cur earll. s! roc-! cllcctlon that a cotton cro.'re inired tlie farm-1 I er's unremittin ; attention from the first day of January to the last day of December, and 1 wo suppose that thousands of persons accept! thesajiii^as true, without ever giving the1 matt-ra moment's thought; but, it will require only a moment's thought, to provetho] erroneousness of the idea. Tho cotton crop j last year w is nhout all gathered by tho first j of November, since whh*h time we presume; not one hour's work has licen given to the plantingof a new crop, ami it is fair to pre-' sume that not a clod will be moved, looking! to the production of another crop, until the' first days of March?a clear loss of four months at one lime, to say nothing of the in- j torvHls after p'anting and before hoeing, and J after "laying by" and before cotton picking. sSo that it may be seen that not over one-half ol the days ot the year are hands employed in the production ami gathering of the cotlon [ crop. It, is the loss of time that hurts tliej cotlontot," while lie excuses himself from j ordinary diligence In planting corn, sowing i oats, wheat,and l>arley. It requires t he plan tinsoi these several crops to give the fanner; constant and profitable employ nicnt. They! dove-tail" in so nicely with cotton, that no' one need be excused from the production of. his own supplies, even when muring the largest crop of cotton. Sinister Tullt Altout the Midland! Railroad.*' Under this heading the yews and Courier' published an editorial one day last week.; whi.-li wo reprcdncc in these columns* and li'jpo that it may 1>3 read. The road of which the .Vctrs and Courier speaks will cost much money, if a new line is built, and we fail to seo wherein Charleston will receive a lair prolit on the investment. The greatest saving, it seems to us, would bo of thirty miles between Newberry and Laurens.

You will be sure to need It tor reference. The l.a'.v <J'?vernlnsr Insolvent Doctors i:t llieir Asslsnmeiitt*. Section "ill of the General Statutes makes void all assignments by an insolvent debtor, whereby any preference or priority is given to any i'i't ditor or creditors, except as to debt* due the public, and except as to creditors who may accept the terms ot the assignment. Section of the General statutes makes void nil tr.ui-f ts of the debtor's property within ninety days preceding such assignment, for the purpose ol giving preference to any creditor. Opinion by the Supreme Court. In the recent case of Wilkes against Walker llie supreme Court decidcs tnat any pretence, whether by formal deed or otherwise.

An Able i.nwjor'n Opinion of (lie SiiPri'ini1 Courfu Opinion. Colonel <\ II. Sinionton, of Charleston, thinks that the dee'sion extends the operation of the two Sections beyond the generally neeived construction ot the profession, who h limited them to a general assignment professedly for the benefit of creditors. The decision extends to ail transfers of or liens upon the whole property of an insolvent debtor, and inalius them void. The Drilsion in Full Conformity with the l.an, Major A. T. Smythe, of Charleston, thinks that the decision is in lull conformity with the spirit of the Act, and was baM d upon an absolute transfer (if all the debtor's property for the benefit of a iavorcd lew. Docs Not Make Void Any But Fraudulent Assignments. Mi'Jor T.arker. of Charleston, thinks thnt the Legislature did not intend to go beyond the Statute ot Elizabeth, and innkcs void only assignments intended to defeat creditors. Wis? an?l Beneficent in Its Provisions? Does not Prevent Transfer for Valuable Consideration?S'ow I.oans and Antecedent Debts. Mr. W. A.

If not. why p.iss a new Act on the subject? The statute of Elizituth making void nil fraudulent prcferences.of creditors and those alone; but unless all pieferency of creditors are necessarily fraudulent the scope of the recent legislation is much inoiecomprehensive. II has been for years the settled law of South Carolina, previous to the passage of the Act of InS'J, that a debtor in Insolvent circumstances might prefer one or more creditors either by formal deed of assignment or by confession of judgment or mortgage of his whole property, i rovided that the transaction was In ma fide. The recent legislation, in the spirit of the late Bankrupt Act, we think, was designed, to ntnke void all preferences of creditors by a debtor, who was notoriously insolvent; and we think that Ihe Act Is wise and benelleent In Its provisions. A man should be Just before he is generous, and all preferences of creditors by an iu-olvent violates me letter and spirit ol theiule. The recent decision of the MV?remo Court certalnlv goes to Ihe extent of holding that all transfer.*in incumbrance made by an insolvent debtor of the whole of his pioperty are necessarily void?that tlie mode in which the preference Is effected, whether by formal deed or mortgage, Is immaterial so long as It ex lends to the whole of an Insolvent's property. Beyond this, we think, the Court has not gone. As a mutter of course the decision does not apply to bona fide transfers of property for a vauiuble consideration, and perhaps not to the mortgage in good faith by a debtor of his property to one creditor to secure at the same time, an antecedent debt and a new loan, or to raise money to compromise with his credi torn. The DoriKlnn Will Have a Wholekoiiic Inllnenre on BtisincN* Interests?The Knforeeinent ?r Ihe I.aw will Mint Ihe Door to Fraud, anil Kneoitrage .Houcsty and Fair Dealing. Mr. AV. Beret. of Abbeville, thinlcc that the opinion of the Supreme Court, In Wliks against Walker Is bound to exercise a most wholesome Influence oil the business Interests of South Carolina, l'or tlie Hr?t tlm.o since its passage In 1SS2, the Statute enacted to prevent insolvent debtors from glvinz undue oreference to one or more favored creditors, lias received the interpretation and sanction of the Court of last resort. That Act (Sections 3)11-15, Gen. Stat.) simply went one step tnrther than the Act of 13 Kliz. (See. 1780, Gen- Stat.) which was framed to trustrate any attempt to' delay, hinder or defraud creditors." In lack ot a Bankrupt Act, thut step had to be laken in tlie interest of honesty and fair dealing. As Jud-e Mclver s;<ys: "The manifest object of the Act i? to prevent an insolvent debtor from transferring or assigning his property for one or more of his creditors to the exclusion of all others: and whether this object Is sought to he effected hy a formal deed of assignment or in any other mode, can make no difference." The facts of the case of Wilkes aeninst Walker show a el car Intent on the part of the insolvent debtor, and of the creditor he desired to prefer, to do precisely what the Act forbids. The transaction between them w is virtually an assignment to ono creditor for his t<? tiie exclusion uud consequent loss of all other creditors. The effect of tho enforcement of this law, Mr. Henet thinks, can only be for good. It will jnt onr credit system on a sounder liasis by shutting the door in the face of fraud. Wholesale dealers will sell on credit to retail dealers with greatly increased confidence When they know that in the event ot insolvency of 1 tie latter, the law will compel an equal distribution of the insolvent estate among all the creditors. Merchants s<?ek only "a fair Held and no favor." South Carolina is to he congratulated on having enacted and enforce d a law the effect of which is to purify the atmosphere of trade, to build up a sound credit system and to stamp out fraud. The .Y' it' York IfvruUl of last Friday, brought the decision in Wikls ^against Walker to the attention of tlie whole country in an editorial article which warmly congratulated our State and our Supreme Court, and called on 01 tier States to go and do likewise. Ho adds that ol' course tiie di-cislon can have no retro active turcc bvyond lticS-, when tho Act was passed. The Sinister Talk About t he Midland Itallrond. (Xcws aiict Courier.)
