THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
The Courier and jYetrs arc disputing
over the statement that the result of tin
Presidential election shows a hatred o
the South in the North. Now. the fae
is. that there i< very litt'c of such a feel
ing in the North. What the C'ounet
takes for hate. is distract. The pcoph
of the North do not believe thatSouthen
men have done anything more than giver
np when powerless to continue the fight
They believe that there is no nationa
feeling in the South, and that it is no
yet time to admit the South and it
friends to a coutroliing share in the fed
cral government.
Nothing has kept alive this feeling s(
much as the senseless lvu- Ki.ux outbreak,
in this and other States. The bruta
cowards who raided upon poor, defense
less negroes, and the equally despicable
cow rds who refrained from condemning
the outrages are to blame for three
fourths of the distrust of which th<
Southern press complains.
' Instead of finding hate in the North, ,1
Southerner may travel over the whoh
land, and never be treated differently or
account of his birthplace. In fact, thi
Northern people don't care where lit
comes from. There is absolutely almosi
none of that provincial feeling in the
North. Few men of sense there pride
themselves on having been born on one
side or another of a river or a line. Ir
the South, however, men actually counl
up such accidents as something of value
?they have little or no national feelingit
is all State pride.
The fault of the North in its treatment
of the South seems to us to le, an in
difference to it. This is the result of a
reaction. Before the war the South wa>
omnipotent in national councils. Then it
ruled public opinion politically, and ever
socially. But the apathy of its citizens
after the war; the ea>e with which tliev
allowed themselves to fall a prey to theit
former chatties and a few adventurers,
has begotten ii the North a feeling ol
cjntempt. No man who has seen a
Northern audience, c? uijo>ed of even
Democrats and Idbe/als, listening to a
. peaker detailing the wroues and (Half

01 K CHOPS.
The low price of sea island cotton In
a depressing influence on business. \Y<
have seen samples of the Peruvian cot
ton which, with the Fiji island crop,
conies into competition with ours, and reduces
the price. The Peruvian staple i>
long and fine, better in both respect?
than the average of our cotton. It .-ell?
in England at forty-eight cent-. Sour
: s-ert that though fine and lontr it is not
so strong a fibre as ours. Whether thi?
is so or not. it is evidently a formidable
rival, and one that will exercise a permanet
influence upon our product. It
behwves our jlai.tu-s to beware of toe
great a confidence in the paramount
qualities of sea island, and prepare for
the necessity of making it cheaper.
Kvc-ry ciTurt will be necessary, in the
direction of better seed and greater care
in preparation for market. If there are
leaks in the management of plantation?
they mu>j he -t.-pped. and the ar :ite-t
economy of production secured. In thi^
way alone will it be profitable to plant
cotton 011 these i lands
The rice crop of the county, raided
principally in Vein ;ssec township. ha;
been very large. The price, too, lubeen
satisfactory; so that tlie planters
have been remunerated. But here, too.
we are threatened with n misfortune.
The effort to remove the tariff on foreign
rice will doubtless be renewed, and if it
should be sueces-ful a .ureal Mow will be
inflicted 011 ibis section. Our members
0" Congress must be awake to thidanger
and prevent it if possible.

BOWEX WINS.
The board of State canvassers, on Saturday,
decided, by a vote of four to one,
to issue certificates of election to C. C.
f*
, Bowen and the candidates returned as
) elected with him by the commissioners oi
j j Charleston county. Moses voted to sustain
Mackcy's protest and Chamberlain,
j Card'?zo, Neagle and Parker again.-t

fliicnce on the Senatorial contest, as the
. nineteen members from Charleston now
admitted are said to be against Scott.

Oitr State Tax.
J i The powers that be have agreed upon a
" State tax at last. Comptroller Neagle
- has issued a circular to the county audi:
tors fixing the regular county and State
tax at iifteeu mills. For general pur
po-cs, six mills; for schools, two mills ;
: for interest on the public debt, four mills;
1 for county purposes, three mills. In ad
: dition to this levy our county commis
1 j sioners have levied one mill for public
' : buildings; one mill for roads; and one
; mill for the noor. The special township
[ school tax will average one mi l more.
J 1 lie total tax to be paid by the owners ol
? property in this county will therefore be
' Nineteen Mills. Our total tax last
1 year was Tex uiill.s. Upon a valuation ol
' about four millions we will therefore contribute
near eighty thousand dollars to
sustain a State and county government.
A GOOD ROAD.
A recent trip on the Port Royal Rail.
road has convinced us that it is the best
built road in the State, and one of the
best in the South. We rode over it at
. the rate of thirty miles an hour in a coin,
uiou boxcar. The road is smooth; the
. i iron used is fifty-six pounds to the yard,
! with fish plates. The ties are good and
: ; placed near together. The,ballasting is
1 of sand, well tamped down. The tressel
work, water-ways and bridges are well
( and carefully constructed. It has scarec.
ly any curves, and the grades are easy.
[ All along the line of the road are large
an I convenient depots.
The life infused into this country by the
road is really wonderful. We saw more
! >igns of energy and improvement in the
. three hours run from Yeiuassee than in
I going from Charleston to Greenville. We
r cannot doubt but that the local freight
. wi 1 sustaiu the road. Runuing as it has,
out into the woods only, its receipts have
reached $12,000 per month from freights.
When the line is finished we are sure
that this will he the favorite line from
Northern Georgia to Savannah and
; | Charleston.
The Senatorial Contest.
Gov. Scott evidently has the inside
' j track. No one disputes that he has
>' earned the gratitude of the Republican
; j party by the services of the past few
: years, it is eonceeded that he has proved
' himself, through evil and good report,
* the staunch lricud of the colored man.

Judge Melton ha- put a temporary injunction
against the tax levy of Comptroller
Neagle, upon the ground that hy
a clerieal error the joint resolution authorising
the tax ajtpropriates the pro1
ceeds to the fiscal year, commencing
' Nov. I. 1871, for which year a tax had
already been laid, collected and disbursed.
Tl."> movement is evidently intended
as another check to Treasurer Parker.
?
Some one in Columbia tried, on
Monday, to scare the JVcics by the report
that no taxes would have to be paid thiyear.
It was said that somebody had dis1
covered a clerical error which deprived
the powers that be from collecting any
money from the people until about this
time in IST-'J. The .Ataof at once proceeded
to argue the untenabil ty of such a
position. Where would it get the money
to pay fi?r its new oftiee, if Moses was to
bo cut short of funds in this way.

A Steamer Sunk.
Last Sunday morning as the steamer
Resolute, engaged in wrecking the ship
Energy, Was coming into the harbor she
struck on a sand reel*, off Ray Point, and
sunk. She lost her rudder in the gale
that was then blowing, and became unmanageable.
She had on board fortyone
tons of railroad iron. Capt. Stoddard
immediately hired a tug boat in
Beaufort, took on board a small enginp
from the Battery, and went to the scene
j of the disaster, for the purpose of pumping
out the Resolute and raising her. As
she will be useless for wrecking purposes
until repaired the Captain lias telegraphed
North lor two other steamers to take her
1 place.

UP THE ROAD AND BACK,
LIFE, ENERGY, IMPROYEMEN1
A Good Road and a Good Country.
On Friday of last week we were ir
vited by Mr. Millett, the energetic cor
tractor and superintendent of the Poi
Royal railroad, to accompany him, in
special (rain, to the head of the roa(
near Steel creek, 75 miles from Poi
Royal. The occasion of the trip was tl:
arrival of Mr. Appleton, of the firm <
Bobbins & Appleton, the large stoc
holders in the road.
The train reached Yemassec at tu
o'clock. Here we halted for a dinne
which was served in the car by the exce
lent caterer Marcus. After starting v
made few stops and arrived about si
o'clock.at present terminus. For son
occult reason this has been named by tl
railroad people ''Little Hell." Eitln
because it is usual to go from one e:
treme to another?or because extreim
sometimes meet?Mr. Appleton propose
at once to change the name to Thouipsoi
in commemoration of our visit.
This point is four miles from Ste
creek. The road is graded, and near
> ready for the iron, to within a sho
> distance of the bridge. About the 251

done and track laying will begin at. one
and continue withouc intermission, it
hoped, until the rails at Sand Bar fer
are met. The bridge over the Savanm
will be ready by the time it is reach<
with the track.
There is enough iron to lay all but t<
miles now at the dock at Port Boy?
, The loss of the Energy has caused sou
derangement of the plans but will n
cause any more delay. Two montl
more will almost certainly bring us iu
Augusta.
Just as we arrived the constructh
train brought down the hands from tl
! the work above. Singing ar
shouting, they leaped from the flat
and rushed to the*numerous fires, wlie
the co-'ks had already prepared h
hominy and bacon, ever grateful to tl
negro stomach. Thirty cars stood up<
i the track, in which the motley crov
were lodged. Far into the night, th<
were to be seen crouching over the fire
eating, talking, washing and dozin
From some of the cars came the notes
i
devotional hymns, while iu othe
"double shuffles" and "walk rounds
were in full blast. The night was ve
cold and sleeping must have been diffiei
and uncomfortable.
We slept in a passenger coach. Wi
the assistance of plenty of blankets v
passed a tolerably comfortable nigh
Seven brethren of the Baptist persuasi<
were aboard, having arrived in the rcg
lar train from points below, with insitf
cient information upon the subject
their route. They were bound to
church convocation of some suit ;u
scorned to have a vague idea of i
whorabouts. Night found tliein strand
at "Little Hell." Two of the par
were selected to represent the ru
These took an early start for a wa'k
twenty miles, while the rest agreed to i
turn as they came.
The next morning, at five o'cloc
Mr. llutsori turned all hands out for;
early start down the road. Going to
box-car kitchen we applied a puuhicc
hot hominy to our interiors. T!
rein en was highly recommended 1
Mr. Hut-son. The stars were still shinii
and the fires dotted the embankment ai
the fields, while around them sat t!
same groups of negroes. Some dozin
some chatting, some crooning the mottr
ful spirituals or singing more sprighl
ditties. These men had worked all tl
day before with pick and shovel ai
were to work all the present day. Y
many of them had slept only suvh sld
. as they could catch around the fires wit
out reclining.
Soon the hoarse whistle of the "S. 1

weird scene, and we bade good b e
