BBUTALITT OP A STEP-MOTHER.-The
Philadelphia Age describes the horfible
treatment of a young girl at the hands of
her step-mother in that city, where by
the merest accident the outrage has re
cently been brought to light. A lady re
siding in the vicinity of the young girl's
home was awakened early in the morning
recently by cries -at a back gate, and on
opening it she fonnd a trembling ?keleton,
clothed in rags, and scarcely aware of life,
who said to her : ?They have almost kill
ed me, and I have come to you at last."
The lady recognized the little girl as Mary
Howland, who had three weeks before fled
to her with atale of horn ble treatment, bat
who had been taken back-home by bei
step-mother. She toot tLe girl into the";
house and found her clothed in- a ~u*.
calico, hot half concealing her nake

ry. After her father's death she was
beaten and abused, and finally confined'to
her room, from which sha was taken .twice
a dav to her meals. Recently a hew and
horrible torture w*?tt>egan. She was con
fined to her roomand her hands tied be
hind her, for f&i*WBhe would escape, and
after midnight only she was released and
taken out of her room and fed on bread
and water. About two weeks since even
this indulgence ceased. She was still con
fined and fed only at the same interval
with bread and water, but not permitted
to leave her room. In addition to this
the common decencies of confinement were
denied hent She finally effected herescape
on Sunday morning by actually drawing
< Ihe nails fromHhe sash in the room in
which she was confiued with her teeth,
. and then, geting out on a shed, escaped
^through the yaru into a back street, from
which she made her ^escape. The step
mother has been arrested and is now in
jud awaiting the result of her step-daugh
ters injuries, from which she is not ex. I
pected to recover.
A Danville correspondent of the Rich
mond Whig writes : Among tba local in
cidents of the past week was the appear
ance cf a beautiful young lady fro aiport h
Carolina.seated in a wagon in the market
space, with chickens and butter for sale.
Her beauty excelled any seen in these
parts for a long time. She was accompa
nied by her motlier and little brother, and
was modest in appearance, with a coun
tenance that indicated a good end true,
heart within. Her beauty attracted many
of our young men to the wagon in which
she was seated. One of them became so
enamored with her that he actually bought
all of her marketing and sold it for the
same he paid for it, considering that the
sight of her had amply repaid him for any
loss he might sustain. This beautiful
young lady did not wear a two-story chig
non, with the little appendage on the top
of the head called a " Donnet," nor was
she attired in twenty two yards of dry
goods, doubled and trebled with the usual
" tuck up" behind ; but she wore a plain
and tidy dress, consisting of about eight
yards of calico, made in the plain and neat
style of the elden time. Lucky will be
the man who succeeds in captivating such
a yound lady for a wife.
GRANGES IS VIRGINIA.-The follow
ing statement is made by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times :
" A movement has been inaugurated to
extend thc farmers' granges to Virginia.
The farming community make great com
plaint in that State because the property
employed in farming has to pay one-ball
of ont* per cent, taxes, while persons and
companies dealing in money either pay
no taxes, or pay only on their net income.
A series of so-called commercial circles
have been organized, whose purpose it ap
pears to be to destroy competition in cit-en
and towns other than those selected by
them, at which one of the members of the
circle does all the bidding for all the buy
ers. Thc consequence is that the farraeiB
complain of great oppression. Applica
tions have been made to the officers of the
Grange Association to extend the grange
to Virginia. Inasmuch as fifty-eight per
cent, of the population of the State is en
gaged in agriculture, it is considered prob
able that the establishment of the grange*
may have some effect upon the coming
election."
CLAY AND HIS HORSES.-Clay, with
his horses, have arrived from New York,
where they have been having a " high old
time" for two and a half months. Clay
says his horses are looking better than he
ever saw them, and he intends to exhibit
them at the State Fair against any four
in-hand the world can produce.
Mr. Clay says he had an interview with
the owner "of Harry Bassett, the famous
race horse, and made arrangements,"ac
cording to Mayor Huff's instruction, to
have Bassett brought to the Fair. He
will probably bring his whole stable with
him, as about that time he will be on his
way to New Orleans.
On his way home Clay met some Caro
lina gentlemen who own fast stock and
.are coming to the Fair with their stock.
They say Bassett will -have to do better
running than he hus done this season at
Saratoga in order to carry off the honors
from the Georgia State Fair.-Macon Tel
egraph.
A Goon LAW.-On the first of Septem
ber the Governor of Iowa will no longer
pardon a criminal convicted of murder in
the first degree. If he believes a crimi
nal deserving of pardon, he must set forth
his reasons and publish them in a paper
at the capital of the State, and also m the
county wnere the criminal was convicted,
and tnese must appear for four successive
weeks before the meeting of the Legisla
ture. On the assembling of that body he
must then submit his rendons, and with
the Legislature rests the power to retune
or grant the pardon. This law cannot fail
io meet with approval. Where justice
has been loosely administered, a convic
tion for life has been almost equivalent to
no punishment, at all.-Progressive Age.

COTTON.WORMS IX ALABAMA.-Mont
gomery Advertiser says : " The worm it
more destructive where not checked by
Paris green than ever before known. They
make a clean sweep of fields in half thc
time which they have heretofore allowed
themselves. No matter how much Paris
green may be used, the crop in Montgom

far beyond expectation. We have in our
office a stalk ot colton pulled up at ran
dom yesterday by a gentleman who was
coming into Montgomery from Union
Spring? It was out of a field, about ten
miles from the city, which averages five
" or six feet in height. The worms, judg
ingjfxom this specimen, and we are'assur
ed i-1 is a fair sample of the entire field,
will leave nothing to pick. Every leaf
was eaten, and every boll but two. The
recent rains have prevented that good

otherwise have been expected. In many in

the .stalk free for fresh attacks."

The Unmannerly Howl Against Ex
JgPretddent Davis.
Bravo.-^m Augusta Chronicled: Senti
nel, for your bravo and manly words, of
Tuesday last, in defenso of Ex-President
Davis. That is the way, emphaticly,
for Southern men and Southern papers
to speak of Mr. Davis.
At tho late meeting of the Southern
Historical Society, in Virginia, Mr. Davis
spoke, and as ho was not particular to
placate the wealth, power, and revenge
ful spirit of the North, many papers
North and South, are belaboring him
most pitilessly, and most pitifully. Let
him speak. Liet us Rb speak. How much
hotter oft* are we for having so carofully
placated Yankees and Negroes during
eight years past?
The Constitution of . tjie United States
for a Chart.
On Tuesday, the 5th of fhe present
month, tbs Democratic Conservative
parties of Virginia and Ohio held Con
ventions, leTld down platforms, and nomi
nated State officers, making* the day
memorable by cutting away from all en
tangling alliances, and swinging around
into their old channels, with the Consti
tion of the United States for their chart.
Both Conventions were remarkable for
the number and standing of the dele
gates in attendance, and for their repre
sentative character. Both Conventions
unanimously and enthusiastically disa
vowed and repudiated the mistakes of
the Democratic Presidential campaign.
And both nominated men of the most
unmistakabfe records-Kemper, in Vir
ginia; Allen, in Ohio. In both States
the party goes before the people" upon
plain Issues, .with leaders whose personal
an?p^>?ti^'??r?ctersv are well under
[ .-itood. The fight is iosbe a square on'e,
j upon plain and well defined political
issues
We are rejoiced at this action of those
Conventions. We are weary and - worn
out with coquetting with the Northern
Radicals and the Southern negroes, and
earnestly hope to see no more of it any
where. The Conservative party has al
ready made itself ridiculousand brought
defeat by time-serving compromises and
disgusting appeals to the blindly, indomi
tably inimical Radical and negro. The
past has proved to the satisfaction of
any reasonable man- that it is impossi
ble for us to win the confidence of the
negro. They aro evidently, and appa
rently irrevocably, determined never to
vote with the Southern whites; and
further efforts we fear to make friends
of them will not only be futile, but dis
gusting and disgraceful.
. ' Virginia has proudly led off, nomina
ting men distinguished in State and C in
federate history, and her people will
ratify the nomination with an en
thusiasm which will demonstrate the
wisdom of the action. It may be that
Ohio is not prepared,for the position as
sumed by the Democratic- Convention ;
but be this aa it may, we are certain that
defeat will not be so overwhelming nor
so humiliating as have been all efforts at
compromise which have marked the last
campaigns of the pemooratio party in
that State.
If wo cannot have success, let USJU
least have honor, principle and decency
-qualities which, combined with a fair
share of energy, are very likely to bring
success
He Buys Butcher's Meat With Itt
Beast Butler is veritably a beast-dis
honest, brazen, vulgar, smart, witty, sud
a disgrace to America. He is now a can
didate for Governor of Massachusetts,
and has lately published a very elaborate
defense of the Salary Grab bill-of which
bill he is the author. This defense is
ad captandum vulgiua, all over. In it the
Beast confesses openly and humorously
that he buys butcher's meat with his
-hare. In fact the defense seems to be
addressed, not to the better class of citi
zens, but to the wicked and the immoral,
who must be in the ascendant in New
England, to be.thus openly courted bj'
ono of the shrewdest and most ambitious
politicians living.' It is tilled with the
brazenest and most amusing erl? ontery.
For example, when referring to what
Mr. Washburn, our Minister to France,
says about members of Congress " buck
ing against the tiger" at Washington,
the old Beast pretends not to know what
is meant by that expression ! He, oue
of the sharpest rogues, one of tho most
notorious political and semi-professional
blacklegs breathing, pretending not to
know what is meant by " bucking against
the tiger," betrays a boundless brassi
ness of cheek that is akin to the sublime
The artifice must be intended to win ap
plause from his brother sports and
thieves for his wondrous powers of guile
and dissimulation.
He buys butcher's meat with his back
pay, and does not know'the meaning ol
M bucking against the tiger." Funny
old rascal !
Disgraced lu Europe.
Our country aud our government have
been publicly disgraced in Europe. Gen.
Van. Bured, Grant's first Commissioner
to the Vienna Exposition, is at length
seriously and permanently condemned:
The Commission sent out by the Gov
ernment to Vienna a month or two since,
to investigate tho charges against him,
have just reported back that his manage
ment of affairs was both lax and crimi
nal-that he took money from people for
special privileges which he. ought not to
have taken-and that he brought the
American Government into dishonor in
the eyes of all Europe. We hope the
people in Europe take notice that all
these men who steal so much, at home
and abroad, are not Southern mon.
The Mandamus Case.
From week to week, and from month
to'month, lately, it has been announced
by the press that the Supreme Court was
about to make public its decision in the
Morton dc Bliss case. Some have had it
that the decision was to be in fav^r of
the tax-payers. A larger number have
j announced that the ring thieves were tb
be triumphant, and that a tax levy would
soon be ordered to meet the payment of
that portion of the bonded debt alleged
to be fraudulent.
Itv?*ems now, however, all those re
ports to the contrary notwithstanding,
that the Court is not inclined to be in a
hurry in chis matter. They are required
to file their decision within sixty days
after their adjournment, and us they
have never adjourned sinco April term,
but only taken a recess, the timo wi th i n
which they are required UJ file-their de
cision has not yet commenced to rhu.
The Charleston News & Courier thinks
it quite likoly that the Court will keep
the matter under advisement until the
meeting of the General Assembly, which
body may endeavor by summary legis
lation upon the debt question to relieve
the Court from embarrassment.
We are to have a new Fifty-Cent
note, to take the place of the issue now
in circulation. These notes are being
rapid Ly prepared and will soon be ready.
No other new Issues of fractional curren
cy will be made for the prosent,, the new
fifty-cent note being prepared on account,
of the large numbers of counterfeits of
that denomination now in circulation.

For tho Advertiser.
Railroad from Edgefield C. H. to Pine
House Considered as a Pecuniary In
vestment.
MR. EDITOR :-I have been a quiet look
er on at the recent movements fn thfe
neighborhood in reference to this Rail
road, and feel inclined to address a few
words to the property holders and busi
ness men in and around Edgefield C. H.,
and to capitalists of this vicinity who
have money invested in Augusta and
elsewhere. I address them as patriots,
and as Edgeficld men.'
The time has come when every man
] among us is called on to do his duty, and
j his whole duty, in reference to this mat
ter-and this is all Mist any niau can be
expected to do
. st. Tl??-propot<od Railroad aa an in
vestment from which dividends are to be
realized.
We have the estimates of two practical
engineers, as to the cost of this Railroad,
-one of them estimates the cost of a
Narrow Gauge Railroad to Pine House
at $59,000, and tho other estimates Hat
$42,000. The mean between the two es
timates is about $50,000.
The gross, income of tho Road is vari
ously estimated at from $15,'<X)0 to ?25,000.
The mean estimate therefore would be
about $20,000, which we assume to be rea
sonable, and not at all extravagant, con
sidering the wide extent of country that
would patronize the Road.
Deduct one-half the gross income for
expenses of running the Road, and keep,
ing it in repair, and there will remain
$10,000 to pay dividends. Now if $?0,000
make $10,000 what will $100 make? An
swer, 20 per cent..
So it appears that, arrowing the Road
to cost $50,000, .and the expenses of run
ning the Road and repairs to cost annu
. ally $10.000-and the gross income to be
$20,000, there will be an annual profit to
the Stockholders, a dividend of 20 per
cont, on the whole capital invested.
Many of Our good citizens are exharist
ing*4heir lands in Edgefteld, and every
dollar of their profits they carry to Au
gusta, or elsewhere, to invest at 19 per
cent. Why not invest a portion of their
surplus at home, and help to build up
their own County town, and the commu
nity in which they live, and thus muke
a larger per cent, directly, and inciden
tally, by increase of the value of prop
erty, a still greater profit?
" 2d. The proposed Railroad as it will
affect the value of real estate in and
around Edgeficld.
The effect of every Railroad is to in
crease the value of real estate in its neigh-,
borhood, and it may be safely assumed
that to every land-holder in and near
Edgefield C. H.,-say within 10 or 12
miles,-the land will be increased in val
ue from 20 to 25 per cent. So that in this
aspect of the case, every land-holder
within 10 orl2milesof the Village, might
subscribe say from 10 to 15 per cent, of
the entire value of his or her lands, and
be better off really than he or she would
be without the road, even admitting that
the Railroad would barely pay expenses,
leaving out the profits in the way of divi
dends altogether.
3rd. The proposed Railroad a? it will
arfect the amount Of business to be done
at Edgell eld.
This opens up a wide field for advance
ment. The people will have a marketat
their very doors. There will be no in
ducement to go elsewhere to sell their
produce or to buy their supplies of vari
ous kinds. Who will not admit that the
advantages of a market town at one's
door is not worth some sacrifices? And
'when it is certain that the money invest
ed iu the Road will be a good investment
in itself, and will of necossity bring a
long train of incidental benefits, who is
there that will not take some stock and
help on the road ?
There are men who own real estate
within the town which will be probably
quintupled in value the moment the
Railroad becomes a fixed fact, who rcgu
lato their subscriptions to thc capital
stock by thc amounts subscribed by those
who own small lots, which in no event
is likely to yield them any income. Store
Houses aro tho property that will bc
most added to in value. Stores that now
rent for say $200, will, when a Railroad
is completed to this place, readily rent
for from $400 to $600. Why should not
the owners of such property shoulder a
fair proportion of the Capital Stock, and
thus contribute in proportion to their
ability, and in proportion to the benefits
to be derived from the enterprise? I say
this not in a grumbling spirit, but I set
it forth as a fair and reasonable proposi
4ion. It is to be presumed that those
who own thia species of property will,
when tho opportunity is offered them,
step manfully to the front, and by the
liberality of their subscriptions to the
capital stock of the Road, vindicate their
claims to bo considered liberal minded
aud public spirited gentlemen-who aro
willing to do what is right to build up
the community in which they live. A
Railroad to Edgefield will at least double
the valuo of every Storo House iu the
village, and will certainly double the an
nual rent of them.
Let every man nobly resolve .simply to
do his duty, and wo will havu the Rail
road-and no man will bo hurt by it, but
all will bo benefitted.
A LOOKER ON.
For tho Advertiser.
MR. EDITOR,-I noticed a communica
tion in your valuable paper of last week
headed " Murmurings from Saluda,
Inefficient Tax Assessor.-Militia, ?fcc."
As I am not quite as malicious os tho
writer of the communication referred to
tries to make ont that I am, I will have
nothing to say about the Militia, but, in
justice to myself, I will say a few words
in reply to his remarks concerning Au
ditors, Assessors tte. In his letter ho
says:
Wljen the County Auditor made his
announcement, that his office would be
open between certain dates t tho good
people of our section thought they would
promptly attend his call. But in calling
upon that very courteous gentleman, they
were told In a briefrinanner, filled with
oaths, that he would send around in this
section, some one who was abettor, judge
of property than the owners seemed to
be.
I will say nothing about tho above
perversion of the truth, more than that
I pronounce k a falsehood in toto. I
never curso any gentleman without a
good cause, especially in my office, for
.-everal good reasons. First, Because I
deem it ungentlemanly to do anything
so naughty. Second, Because I might
happen to swear at some one from Huiet's
Township, and I am certain if I were to
do that, I would immediately get " chaw
ed up and spit out," and I wish to state
here that I have no ambition to end my
mortal career so tragically. My third
aud last reason is, Because I have given
a bond (and a good ono too) for the faith
ful discharge of my duties as Auditor of
Edgefield county ; and if any tax-payer
of this County has been wrongfully as
sensed, and comes to my office to be
righted, each and every ono will bo waited
upon cheorfully. I presumo " Citizen"
is the only man in this county who will
say that he wai treated discourteously
in my office,
44 Citizen'.' then goes on with a long
rigmarole about the assessment and
valuation of buildings in Huiet's Town
ship, and says :
44 A widow lady's house-old *and di
lapidated-roof all rotten, panes out of
the ?ash, ceiling rotting from leaks,-the
Assessor endeavored to assess at one
thousand dollars, but finally put down
at six hundred. . * * . We know a
gentleman, who was absent from home,
whose dwelling was put at fifteen hun
dred dollars, and his gin-house, an old
rotten thing thai will barely stand Op on
its posts, was put at eight limul red dol
lars No man in his right mind would
say that this gin-house was worth twen
ty-five dollars.
I have a^l the returns mado bj' thc tax
payers of Huiet's Township, on file in
my office, where they are open for in
spection, to any one who maj- have tho
curiosity to come and examine thom.
There is no building in Huiet's Town
ship, according to the returns made, that
is valued at Sl'iOO or ?1000. The highest
valuation of any building in that locality
is from $.'100 to ?300. So you soo, Mr.
Editor, that our friend "Citizen" knows
just about, as much about assessments in
his own Township as a cow docs about
handling a musket. In fact, I do not
think " Citizen" has ever paid a tax of
five dollars on property of his own in
'bis lifo. He reminds mc of those patri
otic soldiers who went to war bj' remain
ing at homo,--and after the war was over,
one of them could make more fuss than
a whole Regiment of veterans
In conclusion, I will simply say, if I
have said anything that "Citizen" is
sorry for, I am willing that he should
apologize.
Very Respcctfullj',
FRANK A, BELANGER,
Auditor E. C.
We are no apologist for the short-com
ings or wrong-doings of Republican of
ficials, bat in reference to the charge that
the present County Auditor is lacking in
courtesy and civility, we, as an act of
simple justice to him, would respectfully
state that our business frequentlj' calls
us to the Auditor's Office, and wc inva
riably lind him at his post and always
prompt and courteous iii giving attention
to business connected with his oilice.
He has shown us the tax returns from
the Huiet Township, and those which we
examined, the property seemed to be
rather under than over valued. Corres
pondents should be prepared to substan
tiate their assortions .when making charg
es against coarnty officials oran j'one else.

POTTEKSVILLK, Jackson Co., Ga, )
August 21, 1873. J
Dear Advertiser,-Thinking perhaps a
lotter from North-East Georgia might
interest your readers, I will endeavor to
gve you a few items from "these parts."
Taking the train on the C. C. ?fe A. R.
R.. at tho Pine House Depot, on Monday,
the 18th, at 12 M., a ride of about two
hours, including the stop at Orangeville
for dinner, brought us to the Cit j' of Au
gusta. At GrauiteAillo wo found that
the "strikers" were still obstinately
holding out, and no prospects of either
side j'ielding.
Arriving in Augusta we stopped at the
Globe Hotel, at present kept by that gen
tlemanly and polite landlord, D. G.
.Murphy, Esq.,'and who has for bis chief
clerk our old and former fellow-citizen
of Edgefield, F. M. Nicholas, Esq., whose
genial countenance and entertaining
manners make your stay at the Globe so
pleasant. At present the Globe is second
to no Hotel in the city. Its tables are
supplied with the best the market af
fords, and with its attentive and polite
servants, renders it a placo of rest for
tho weary traveller-and entitles it to
the patronage of the travelling public.
On Tuesday morning wc took tho 8
o'clock train on tho Georgia Hoad for
Uniou Point, about 7"> miles from Au
gusta, which is tho.Uinner house on the
Georgia Boad The orops along the route,
as coukl be seen from the car window,
looked very promising-especially the
Cotton. But I saw none that would com
pare with the cotton of our young and
enterprising^rfcDifer, A. A. C., in and
around Edgefield Village I also saw at
every station along the routo that the
"Marble Mania" was raging as badin
Goorgia as in Edgefield, for at cverj- De
pot you could seo old men and boj's en
joying that pleasant summer's pastime,
-and one old man especially attracted
my attention, who with an ejaculation of
"by dings" plumped the "middle man"
three times in succession.
At Union Point we changed ears for
Athens, which place wo reached at ."> P.
M. Thc evening being clear and pleas
ant (although rainy all the morning,) wc
hired a buggy drawn, bj" a beautiful span
of baj's, and took a ride over thc Citj'.
Thc city of Athens, with a population of
nearly 7000 inhabitants, is situated nt the
terminus of tho Athens branch of the
Georgia Railroad, distanced about 120
milos from Augusta-localed upon one
of thoso beautiful and picturesque hills
so peculiar to North Georgia, looks from
air elevation of nearly 1000 feel from the
level of tho sea, upon the "winding
Ocotiee," which, in its restive course,
nearly encircles tho city.
Athens with health and climate unsur
passed,-with pure and delightful wafer,
-alt'ording not only exemptions, but
even relief to the diseases familiar to les
favorite localities,-with the.beauties and
advantages of nature thus so bountifully
bestowed,-with a people ever jeolous of
their far-famed reputation for intelli
gence, hospitality and morality,-well
mid justly may the Athenian bo proud
of his lovely and beautiful Southern
Home.
There ?re some of the finest and most
handsome residences in Athens that 1
ever saw. The most magnificent ol
which is tho homo of that gifted son ol
Georgia, the Hon. 3en. H. Hill, whose
beautiful and tasteful mansion and sur
roundings, will compare favorably with
the " Preston Mansion" of Columbia
C.S.
Athens can certainly boast of her edu
cational advantages, being tho scat of the
State University and tho State agricultu
ral College, and also the " Lucy Cobb"
Institute, with is one of the liest Female
Colleges in tho whole South ; besides
many other schools of a smaller gi ade.
both malo and female, which make th*
.city a pface unsurpassed in the South for
the education and training of her sons
and daughters. Tho State University,
which now for nearly three-fourths of a
century has done so much valuable work
for the State, annually sending out a
corps of young men, equipped for the
battle of lifo, who have at the Bar, in thc
Pulpit, in-the. Halls of Congress, on the
Battlefield-who by their eloquence, and

Athens has also many very fine Church
es, and I am told that all ol the religious
denominations aro well represented.
Athens is also alive on Railroads. By
means of the Athens branch of the Goor
gia Railroad, she is in quick and easy
communication with the cities of Macon,
Augusta tmd Atlanta-with tho North
Eastern Railroad leading from Athens to
Rabun Gap, which is being speedily
pushed to completion, and which is al
ready finished, with the exception of a
few miles of heavy grading near the
Gap. This Road will tap'tho great Air
Line at the Gap, and which, upon the
building of the Knoxville and Rabun
Gap will give tho people of Athens direct
connection with the Great West. There
is also an intention upon tho part of the
people of Athens to build at no distant
dey a Railroad from Athens to Eatonton,
via Madison, which will afford direct
communication with Savannah and the
sea-board.
Athons has.also many manufactories,
among whict?'?re the "Athons Manufac
turing Company" on tho Oeonoo, and
running-WOOspindles ; tho "Georgia Fae
tory," with 5000 spindles and 120 looms ;
tho "Princeton Factory?V "tho Shoe
and Leather Factory;" "Athens Foun
dry and Machins Works," besides many
othera, on a sntall scale, too numerous to
mention. . * .*

For the. Advertiser.
MR. EDITOR :-In your issue of the 14th
inst, appeared an article signed "Re
form." I would have noticed this article
last week, butthought it better to wait
awhile and see'what would be the senti
ment of the community. Finding that
silent-acquiescence has been given lt, I
feel it my duty to notice the article
through the samo channel in which it
appeared.
Mr. Editor, I for one, had entertained
tho hope that every mau in this commu
nity was lalloring to do away with the
past. Yes, to bury nfl pant prejudices
and difficulties beneath the sea of for
getfulness, where they would never bc
resurrected, aiuroaeh one of us start anew
for lin' rti'Vi Inpincnt of the- resOurc-s of
our coutmonwealth', and'for the protoc-'
tion and advancement of each other's in
terest. Every sensible man must see the
imp?rtanos <>f our uniting ourselves to
gether in order that we may bc prosper
ous in all our enterprises and pursuits in
life. For .the merchant would do but
little in his business were it not fur thc
laborer. The manufacturer would do
but litt ie were it not for the laborer. The
planter would lind his land to bo of lit
tle or no advantage to him if the labor
ing man was not to be found to cut and
clear away tho forest, and dil it for him.
And on tho o;her hand, I am free to ad
mit that tho laborer would do but little
were it not for the supplies furnished by
the merchant. The laborer would dc but
little if tho manufacturer failed to fur
nish him with rooney or clothing for
himself and family. The laborer could
not prosper if the planter did not furnish
him with land tq till. And notwithstand
ing all these facts are staring us in the
face, "Reform" rifees in all of his glory
and attempts to sever the friendly rela
tions that havo been brought about bo
tween tho two races. " Negroes to repre
sent intelligent white people " Did the
negroes he refers to seek this great hon
or, as "Reform" doubtless terms it?
I say they dill not. They sat there in the
Court House without one word to say.
" Reform" cannot say that tito -"negroes"
he refers to, have shown any inclination
to push themselves upon thc "intclli
gent white people'' to represent them
anywhere. Any one reading his article
carefully. Mr. Editor, would imagine
thu: he, like some others, is afraid of so
da] equality. If such is thoense, 1 will
relievo him of hislfears by stating that
tho respecta I.M ej^cgroes'" in this cpm
ni:fnity would rise as a unit lndiffcnt nny
measure thal would bring about sll<-Ii a
hort ?hie stale o? affairs Social Ki j Ui lily !
Say to lim respectable "Negroes" thai
they are compelled to op? n their doors to
admit the worthless drunkard or sloven
to associate with their faiiiilies, l<-t him
be black or white, a..d you will ?ind ! hom
doing so in great wrath and indignation.
No s'-cial equality for ns ! All we a-k
for is equality bo fore the law in ?ll pub
lic and licensed enterprises. Nothing
more.
I don't know, Mr. Editor, who "Re
form" is. I regret very much Hutt his
sentiments ever found their way in the
paper. Not that, tho colored people care
anything about his word " Negro," and
the stigma and degradation he attempts
to cast upon them, (for they know lui!
well tiiat nearly every degrading quality
that attaches to their race was brought
about by "Reform's" race,) but on ac
count of the damage his article is calcu
lated to do in frustrating that li hera: spir
it that was about to bo inaugurated be
tween tho races. We all want a Railroad
to connect us with the outside world.
This is something I have labored for al
most incessantly, not only in an official
capacity, but pecuniarily as far as I was
able. I have found the colored people
always ready- to aid. Yes, ready to re
spond to every call. But since the ap
pearance of this article, I have lu ard one
of them say, when I was trying to induce
him to subscribe, "that he didn't caren
d-n about the Railroad now. Had had
an interest in it," said he, " but read thc
paper, and you will find where the white
people stand." I havo heard son io? in
pri vate conversation say that " Reform's"
piece is a good piece. This wa? enough
for the negro to know. Another said to
me, "I have'aided some already, and
intended to help again, but that piece in
tho paper cooked me."
Now, Mr. Editor, you causee the hann
that that article is calculated to do. And
before his uncalled for and bitter senti
menta are clearly out of the minds of
the people, wc sec another article coming
from "Saluda," threatening, in sub
stance, to kill out and exterminate the
colored race. In tho same paper we lind
a speech from Ex-President Davis, bc
fore a Society in Virginia, wherein he
expresses live hope, " Unit tho children
now growing up will regain the lost
cause."
All such articles and expressions as
those above mentioned, are calculated to
oxcite the colored people, and cause them
to continuo to look beyond Mason's and
Dixon's lino for their best friends Such
articles I claim aro calculated lo cause
the colored man to look upon tin1 South
ern white man, wherever bc meets him,
as his common enemy.
Please excuse me, Mr. Editor, for ask
ing so much space in your V ?uuin*. ;
would not have said one word had I not
felt it was demanded in behalf of the
race with which I am identified.

GOR SCHOOLS.-The Barnwell County
?Times, (Republican.) thinks that there is
something worse than financial failure
upon us. " Our schools," says (he Times,
" are closed, our hard, worked teachers re
main unpaid. What a sad comment upon
our government. There has Geen some
thing*wrong abont our school system for
a long while. We say, with all respect
for those concerned, that sincu Northern
aid and management havebeen withdrawn
very, little has been accomplished; our
progress has been steadily backward, and
wc iee no signs of school life. The few
that will be opened will be those in the
several counties sustained by Northern
charity. We sincerely trust that the peo
ple will see when the legislature meets
that this most important subject receives
its deserved consideration.. We can afford
to bear almost any other approbrium than
this which has rendered our government
a reproach and a by.word abroad.'' .
THE CATK::PILLAI: ON THE SEA IS
LANDS.-The following statement is taken
from-a letter received hy a prominent
commission merchant of Charleston yester
day, and is 'dated at Beaufort, S. (J., Au
gust-20, 1?73. It gives a gloomy picton*
of the prospect pf the growing sea island
crop, and indicates that a large portion
of tho growth may be devoured by the
caterpillar :
" In reference to your inquires about
the worm. I would say that they are gen
eral ?ver St. Helena Island, scarcely a field
being free from them, and on many plan
tations they have already done much
damage, taking fully one-half the fruit.
With the lateness of the crop and the
early coming of the worm, together with
the favorable season for'them, they nave
every advantage, and what the damage
will be when.the next and last brood haich
out, can hardly be estimated; but I can
safely say that, with a le? area planted
than last year, that th^cotuing crop will
be in this section all of one-half short of I
last seasoh."
