We expressly ^ disclaimed any entention of insinuating that our planting friends were capable of 8an wiilful misrepresentation, and stated that ov,r we based .our remarks alone on the fact is'''r that they were loo prone to allow their PeoF apprehensions to get the better of their ?oier judgments. We thought we were clear- cou'' ,ly understood, yet many, we regret to fr<ap find,?some of them our best friends? ion have regarded-the article as both often whei sive and a (misstatement of the true con blinj dition of the crop. well As regards the first objection, this ex ^ planation, with what appeared some week tern or two since, we trust, will prove entirely to d< satisfactory. pose The second point w.e are w illing to eraU leave to tiuie to determine, and the day and has :irri.eeil wlmi. iln? r??Kli?% ?M -,1 I to .form -some -correct opinion upon the travc accuracy of our prediction.

Politics in Caricature. ft I We have been shown a bold and ridicu- f0| lous caricature of some our most diatinguishcd and worthy public servants, the nn evident design of w hich is to cast ridicule ?p| upon their political actings. This is p new 0j feature in South Carolina politics and one which we are sorry that we cannot com- ou mend. The author may have a talent for jn| sketching, but in the selection of his sub* nr ject, in this instance at least, he is laments* (>( bly at fault. It is supposed that the affair had its origin in Columbia * as The Atlantic Cable bu The confidence of the public is gradual* n<) ly fading away in reference to the resusci- dj, tation of the Cable, and those engaged up- e(j on it seeiu to be hoping against hope in ori their efforts to get it in working order. We {,f annex some of the latest newspaper au* u, counts and comments : of A despatch dated (Quebec, Oct. 5th savs, ?f that the latest intelligence from Valencia ?M reports that faint signals nro still received Wl through the cable from Newfoundland.? w, There is, how ever, another and more disUut p| fault, the locality of which cannot be esti- In timated without going to Newfoundland. te The Valentia correspondent of the London Times says that it is perfectly eonclu- pr sive, according to the experiments of Prof. ?j, 'i.. nnpson, that Mater has reached the coi - HO ducting wire in at least one place, not less j|, than two hundred and twenty miles from (u shore, and ns the currents received from ;n Newfoundland "ary from one two-hun* ^ dredth to only one nine*hnndreth part of the strength thuv should be, it would be R deceiving the public to state that the result Am is other than of the most serious nature. id] The New York Times makes a still more startling exposure.

The South Carolinian publishes some tracts from a late speech ot Senator Willi's, of Massachusetts, delivered at a po* ical meeting in New York. The force of e speakers venom is directed against the mtocratic party, which he conceives to be c obedient instrument of the slave *pow* in the United States. The President, e Judiciary and the Senate, he says, is as solutely under the control of the SlaveIding influence as the Fiench Assembly under that of Louis Napoleon. This is the light in which the Adminisitiou and the Democratic party is held ultraists and disunionists of the North, d the South .should take encouragement >m the fact. But we have a party at the tuth who entertain diiectly opposite views those expressed by Wilson. The disuinists here tell us, that there is no faith the Administration or the National Deicracy, that the latter is composed largely abolition sentiment and that if the South is her fortunes to that party she will antually be lured to destruction. The position of the extremists?the ultraists cither section?tends to the same end ; lestruction of the Democratic party and a 'solution of the Union, thus affording a ictical illustration of the maxim that exlines often meet. The Democrats are certainly slandered one side or the other, ami in the absence any perceivable injustice from them to j interests of the South, we prefer not to n in the hue and cry against them : coerating with Wilson, Burlingame and ihe est abolitionists that the North contains, e would dislike to see the South indisso* >ely wedded to any party, but she should ; with those who are disposed to do her tiee, no matter from whence they hail. entertain a different opinion would be advocate a dissolution of the Union unany and all circumstances. "Poisonous Liquors iVe find a paragraph in some of our ex* inges to the effect that fhe Legislature Georgia find passed a law for the apntinent of Liquor Inspectors in every inty, whose province is to inspect nil lors manufactured or brought for sale in ir respective counties; and if any liquor found to contain strychnine, or other isonous matter, U.e seller is required to e it out of the State and to pay a large i. It is a pity that some such regulation as at section, sold annually a large quantity a certain poisonous drug to the distillers that vicinity, lie koew nothing of the e it was yut to, but knew the Tad that it as sold to that class of personv This us sufficient to suggest to us that our peoc will have to go elsewhere than the ountains to find n place where tho adulation of liquors is unkoown. In our opinion, the villainous and fatal actlee which is every day becoming more ipnrcnt will never receive a check until ine legal arrangement is entered into simir to that passed by the Georgia la-gislnre.
