I learned over a year ago that I wa In a sad mluorlty, and that there was no ut iretllug about It. There would be just as much sense in ge ting upon Mr. Williams's good flat rail an Jolulng the Ureeuvllle News lu the cry < "Peace aud unity" whilejthe chains of tyrat ny and shackies of slavery were being ever day more closely forged upon us.

Our people ure long suffering and nev? seek to uveuge a wrong by Injuring ana< versary. To this end we remark that i view ot the vast amount of business th Press and Banner gets |lroin this town, mot of which it would retain, that paper can pi its opposition on an elevated plane,!, e. oppot the establishment of a Court house allk at all points, lu this county, as inimical t that paper's interests, for this is really th motive of all who oppose the measure. It is due the Democrats of this section the one of their number ibe appointed post mu ter here. Any one of, the dozen applicanl would I suppose be acceptable to the masse; Rev. Mr. Forrester prepared the Bible lei sons for the current quarter published by th Southern Baptist Convention, which is high compliiueut to his ability usaBibllct scholar.

The fight for the new county came ver much nearer being successful than Its mot sanguine promoters at first anticipated. A consider the time and money judlclousi spent. It was our happy privilege to spend a fe days Christmas with friends at Donalds. I was in this prosperous town and among tbo: hospitable, christian people, where, jui nineteen years ago, our acquaintance wit South Carolinians began. I thought then I was the garden spot of the world and nearl a quarter of a century's experience has nc caused me to change my opinion.

As touching the new county question, huve already staled that no one uere has an repinlngs, but there Is a concensus of opli tou thai there was some needles outside 01 position, for Instance Judga Coihran's nara appearedou a countcr petition as Attome for K. it 1).

L Our Stale has much to deplore, yet much t d be thankful tor. Among the latter may t Lt mentioned, the freedom generally, in Carol I na Journalism, from matters of an Immori nature.
