The Mails.
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.

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.
The Citii. Rights Rili..?The Alexandria
Gazette of Wednesday evening
ays that in the Circuit Court, when tbe
c??e of the C-oninonwfsiib vs. Roe, a
white Minn, charged tvifl? felony, was
being tried, W. Wiilpl^ll^,, ilpimnnni
wealth's Attorney, naked iIihL be might
be permitted to in trod rite negro witnesses
to testify in tlic oaae, claiming the right
to do so under the provisions of the civil
rights bill. Tan Judge d?io!in*d permia
ion on the ground '.Itat this was a State
Court, nnd that be was act in if,under tbe
Iaw? of the Slate, which forbade t'lAt A
negro should testify tn a case against a
white nun, except "when the cash Arises
out of en injury done, Attempted, or
threatened, to the person, property, or
rights of a colored person or Indian, or
when the olTence was committed by a
white person in conjunction with a colore 1
p?*r,?0!i or Indian" The.judge staled hi*
de'erminalion to execute the laws of li'.a
State until ordered to do .otherw:?#.
