Communication. "And from afar he heard The voice of fame, and vowed to he rentowned, And deeper still ne vowed to keel his vow." PolLock's Course of Time. In a former number of your paper, I oberved a commnication frmn somite chainpion of -*'Jeromne," (recently kn..wn as -No Candidate.") which from the fre quent repetition of the . ord -Practice,"in duces ue to suppose it intended as a re ply to an article, some itime appearing under that signature. I confess myself in no degree, surprised at this etlort to retort; and infinitely less at his manner of attack. For he who is silly in tre choice of a "hobhy," becomes invariably more so in his labors for itssup port. But for one of "No Candidate's" calibre to assume to himself, the double character of Reformer anl Critic, excites amazeTieut,irresistibly ludicrous. Though entertaininig the kindest personal regard for the supposed author, anti highest re spect for his principles; yet in pronouncing his communication a rare di-play of inor dinate vanity and arrogance, is but doing courtesy to justice andl truth In his ex ordium, he appears as a "-master spirit" be stowing some mark of approhatiou on one, and directing the nod ofcensure to another Then with the authority of an "Ilpse Dix it" acquaints Saluda. with his charitable design of permitting his opponents to flour ish two years tiore. Oh wouderous Mag nauimnity ! Thou rarest of virtues now on ly to be found amongst the REFORM IERS, of EDGEFIELD. ' Why, why lhst thou reinated so long in obscurity? Why not have developed thyself and ea*ned thy desert,the homage of the world! Perhaps thou hast been retained as the perfector of Reform. Possibly,as the ear nest of immortality too hy noble possessor, No C:mdidate- If so, success atten-i thee. In reflecting upon the difereut motives by which men are actuated, I am forced to the conclusion, that ambition has been at work with .Ins Gra<.e. No Candidate. Methinkb Isee him with a pregnantiction ary. searching fer reputation. Then ex claiming, with elxjueice restless oa his tongue, determninatwan aashing in his e)e, and power dilating the man; "To die and leave lehind Nought ol' survivng t-ame, Of the divine -reating "mind.

One hand will. in two days, make his raft, ru and deliver two thousand feet in Hamburg or Ananista. anld two hands will. in twelve days, ralf, run and deliver 40,000 feet in Savannah. These Mills have also annially furnished large bills of hmber for the Charieston Rail Hoad, which passes within 150 or 210 yards of the Mlills.

You wiil then have $4.800 per annum, or the sum of' $.16,000 in test years. You may also eniploy one team ani)d three hands, which will deliver in twelve months. fifteen iundred cords of lightwood otn the Rail Road, for which they pay $2 121 per cord; which will make $3187.-$.00 out. fot team and hands, leaves $2'267.-or. with the same hands and te!am, deliver ni the bank of the Savannah Itiver. twelve hindred rords of lightwood, for which the Steamboat Comparny pay $3 0.) per cord-which will make $3.,,00, $90 mut, leaves $2.700-or. in ten vears. $27. 000.

(which tto experienied man will ay are large.) you will take from this land, one hundred thousand dollars, and still, have your land and nills left. It is estimated by good ,:dres, acquait ted with the land. that it wiAl average, at least, four cords ofh liht wood, and four of har. wood, per acre.
