EDITOR:-Thfeisprobably thelast j letter that I shall write for the columns of theold.-?dver?iseT in the year 1873. When it makes it> appearance in print, it is likely that the Old Year will be rap idly drawing to a close, and the New Year be near at hand. And as the skill ful mariner, who traverses the trackless waters of the ocean w^th his ship, occa sionally takes his "reckoning," that he may ascertain where he is, how far he has gone, and whither his craft is head ing ; -BO it is meet and important, that we, as individuals, communities, States, or j countries, being voyagers too on the great sea of life and ocean of time, should DOW and then-once a year at least-"cast about us," review the past, consider the ? present, and endeavor to forecast some what the future. In the midst of the;, amusements and festivities whick usually usher in Christ mas-the natal day of the blessed Re deemer of mankind, and the " Happy New Year"-the beginning of another j annual measure of time, let our mirth and joy be tempered by prudence and moderadon. While we have great cause as individuals, as a people, and a nation, to be thankful to the Supreme Ruler of | the universe for that goodness and mer cy, and that loving kindness, with which wo have been followed during the year, that is now near its end, and should evince our gratitude and gladness in eve ry proper manner, let us mingle there with sober and solemn reflection, and shape our actions and fature course in life in accordance with th?, dictates of sound reason and the teachings of true J wisdom. The year 1873 hus uot been marked in our own land with any great and start ting events With the exception of short j conflicts with the poor Indians in the | (hr West, no war or bloodshed has visited our borders. While contending hosts have met in the shock of battle on the classic field of portions of Europe, and the people of France and Spain have suf fered all the untold horrors and calami ties of war, we have enjoyed all the blessings of peace. It is true that por tions of the great valley of the Missis sippi have been visited by those terrible icourges, the cholera and yellow fever; hut their ravages wore confined to limit ai sections of the country, and the suf fering resulting therefrom, though great md truly distressing, were only tempo rary. For the mosi part throughout our extended country, there has been the .?sual measure of health among its iu ?-bitants ; abundant harvests have gen erally crowned the labors of the hus jandman, and apart from the financial xmvulsion and the temporary evils aria ng from it iu the great commercial cen res of the country, the peoplo ol tho Jin ted States should feel that they are in he enjoyment of an unprecedented de cree of prosperity and happiness. I look upon the financial crash, which vas doubtless caused by reckless specu atiou and senseless extravagance, as a ilcssing in disguise. The greatest mis ortuue it produced, and the one which s most to be regretted, is the fact that he evils and hardships which have at ended it have fallen most heavily upon hose who had but little or nothing to do vith bringing it about. If no one suffered from a monetary risis of this kind except the money unga, wild speculators, and dishonest tock-jobbersof the great cities, who live nd fatten off the hard earrings of the lonest working iueu of tho country, it vould be no great misfortune to have ueh a panic every year or two. But uu ortunately for tho country, from tho >resent arrangement of things, such can lever bo the case. So interwoven are he interests of the farmers and producers iud the honest trading public with the )anks, and so great is their dependence >u them, that when these reckless specu ators pull down the pillars of tho com mercial temple, and there is a crash vhich shakes the commerce of the conn ry from New York to San Francisco, hey generally manage to escape from he ruins without serious injury to them .elves, while the calamity falls with ?rushmg force upon others. This panic, or rather such a state of | nings as it has developed, is to my mind jut another' argument in favor of the loctrine which I have long advocated, tamely, that the Southern people should ?aise less cotton and more provisions md home supplies, and manufacture nore of the necessary articles of life ?Vilich they require, that they may be eas helplessly dependent upon the bank ers and brokers of Wall Street and other | .ities. Something had to bo done to meek the profuse and absurd extrava gance and the wild speculation and fast living that were fast ruining the country, md in this point of view, I look upon -his convulsion as a public' blessing. These ovils have not yet become as prevalent in the South as they aro in the North, and if our section will now adopt that policy which our magnificent re sources, and the touchings of sound po litical econemy, as well us the dictates of | common sense, so plainly point out, when the next financial paine sweeps over tlio country, we will be compara tively exempt from its hardships and calamities. The present political condition of South Carolina, though bud in the extreme, is by no means a hopeloss one. ? The very enormity of the evils from which we are suffi ring is gradually working their cure. There is a limit to even official corrup tion and public plunder, and there is every indication that the part}' in power in this State have at length roached that limit. There are now elements within the Republican party in South Carolina, which together with thc conservative agencies und iullueuces that are brought U> bcur upon lt from without, must either bring about reform and amendment, or tho paAy will have to go to pieces and give way to better men and measures. Whilo therefore there ls much to sadden the heart of the patriot In the past and present condition of the commonwealth, the future is not entirely devoid of hope, and taking lessons of wisdom from ex perience, and scorning to despond or despuir, let us heed the sulutary admoni tion of tho fucetious " Bill Arp," and en dcaver to do the very be*t we can under the circumstances. The usual quiet of our town was rude ly disturbed on last Saturday evening by a row in the streets, in which a negro man named Lee Hunter was shot aid killed. The young man charged with the killing was forcibly taken to jail by the negroes, and is now in custody. Principal cause of the disturbance mean whisky.
