We bad imt"*>ne mail from Charlotte last work, and it is reported that, owing 10 some difficulty between tlio cor.11 actor, ilr. Miell, u'ltl the Dcpaitment, there is a possibility that the line fiom Monroe here may bediopped cjithely. Should this prove to be the case, it will leave tis with not a Mtig'e regular ntr.il to this point, and our only dependence will be imon It .??rl tine hi M.iisev's Kxpress, which makes a weekly trip hi anil from Camden. It Lax suggested that an application be made for weekly mail frctn Kuck Hill.? This would be a very desirably arrangement, and may.be practicable, provided a contractor for the Route can be procured at the usual rales allowed by the Department, which are raid to be about ten dollar* per mile per annum, for a weekly trip, u.'id tho flame in proportion for a daily, or tii weekly. At tlila rate tri weekly Service to Pack 11.11 (Co miles) would be.wotih S"8u 0 >. it uny person, who c;.n tale the oath, will consent to take the route nt these rates, or thereabouts, it may be worth the while of this community to petition for it. In ad li tion to the pay for mail service,we think son.e tiling might bo made by carrying passengois, ?i a uu-lv or uacK jh used. Sueh a route is very cli'.-iial '.e and we wish to enlist the attention of the public in the matter. Creditor and Debtor. In announcing the fact some weeks ago that the Stay Law hail been pronounced unronsti* j tutional and void by the highest Court in South " Carolina, we expressed regiet that this decision, which we huve no doubt is eminently ju?t and proper iii itself, had not been delayed for a shoit time, or until the making of the present year's crop, when debtors would have been in some better condition to pay than they are at present. Hnt the decisionals! been made, the s?ay law abrogated, and the sooner debtors realize the fact Unit creditors can enforce collodions by all the nu-ans heretofore allowed by law, anil mnko their arrangements accordingly, the better it will he for them. The debtor is now at I tno mercy of the creditor; the people yhould j prepare themselves for the crisie, for there is) now no means by which the impending crash can be averted. That prnpei ty, to an immerse extent, will be sold and possibly sacrficcd under the Sheriff* hammer, appears absolutely unavoidable; and it behooves all persons interested to seek to mitigate the severity of the coin, lug alorm, as far as they can^by timely arrange- ( ment and preparation. We would counsel the practice of firtearaiiee and modciation, not only as being just and ? right between man and man under the extraordinary circumstances of the times, but as being ' thmheat policy fur both creditor and debtor.? 1 There me a diss ol debtors, who if suddenly | pressed to the ws'l, would not be able to pay all their liabilities; but who, being Imnost and energetic, are making laudable exertions to pa) 1 < IT their just dues, and in all probability will succeed in paying out if reasonable indulged.? These men should he indulged by all mean.*.? j We hare our mind on a few of this claaa in.our immediate vicinity, and it would neither be right nor gjod policy to press them at ortce. I There is anchor cU<sof honest debtors, who, i though willing to pay tluir debts, are irreuieva i ; bty involved and cannot hope to succeed under any ciicumstaucov. These should at once make ( 4 : %! mi1 mm the best arrangement possible with their creditors, either by assignments or other wise, and avoid unprofitable and unnecessary suits and Costa. . . There is sti.l another class, by no means inconsiderable in numbers, who perhaps have the I itity to pay, but who are exceedingly di inclined to do so. Their main study seems to be how they can avoid payment of their liabilities with the greatest safety and profit to themselves and the cretttest i iurv to their creditors. The latter they appear to icgard as their mortal < enemies, who at some former ti *10 had inflicted upon them incalcsh'.lde injuries Many a>e seeking to appropriate their resources wi.ile they have opportunity, eitlier by living ahovo their means, or hy placing tliem beyond the reach of the processes of the law. Such men | cannot expect, neither do they deserve indulgence front creditors. Nothing can be gained ! from delay of suit in *11 such c.ises. Hut wherever debtors are honestly husbanding their resources, with the view of ultimately paying all of their just debts, cm editors s' culd give them time, it possible fur them to do so; j and thus do unto others as they would have others do unto 8irm. This, we predict, will he the most advantageous course for all parties in the end. Sensible Questions.

Prom the Memphis Appeal. The Crops in Mississippi. % 8tarksville, Miss., May 21.. Id response to your request in the Appeal, 1 will glee a littlo information on the* prospect of crops, the efficiency of labor, etc. My observation extends over a good portion ofOokubbeha. The steeds of corn and cotton ate both bad, corn in tbe lowlands, from co'nstant rains, have died out, cotton, alto, from the same eause. A large portion, say three fourths nf tin. nnJand. Imvn norir nLHllill of Cotton. " r- 1 i , from defvciivft seed and constant rains , t rt e p'ant being len?i?r and feeble diss I lie first but day. Many have planted over,' perhaps half the replanted land is in corn. The prospect for bad corn crops, present high price of breadstuff* and nn almost certainty of fire cent per pound lax ou cotton, have induced the change. I suppose the'# id cotton seed enough to replenish the lands but under all the circumstances, many preTer corn. On ! many farms the freedmen are working pretty well, say three fourths as much, as formerly, and on many they are working badly. There is a very general indisposition among the freedmen to perform field labor. Near the railroads most of the lands are in cultivation, but in the interior cern is generally scarce, and considerable lands lying uncultivated. Very little wheat or outs in this country. The plan* lers are rather desponding. Prospect of short crop; certainty of high taxes; uncertainty of freedmen working w.ben 'the weather gets hot, and the ir.ighty efforts of the Radicals to subvert our form of government ? together, necessarily cists a gloom over tho Itt.d?yet many are hopeful of the final success of the recou strueiion policy of the President.
