What the Legislature of this State has Done. A correspondent of the Abbeville Ban ner proposes that the following series of resolutions be adopted, and says that they if privately ad'.pted, may be an ef fective as if they had passed at a public meeting, and been backed by a dozen speeches: 1. Resolved, That we recognize the principle that a just debt imposes a mor al as well as a legal oblig1tion upon the debtor, from which he can only be re leased by making full satisfaction of its demnands, or by consent of the creditor' 2. Resolved, That whilst we discoun tenance all idea of the repudiation of debts as immoral, unjust and subver.ire of the plainest principles of fair dealing. we hold that the indiscriminate sucicng a::d pressing the collection of debts on the part of creditors at this time is equal ly demoralizing, and fraught with grea ter danger to the good order of society, and to the best interest of the State. 3. Resolved, That we looked in vain i to the Legislature of the State for some measures of relief, For bread they gave us a stone, for a fish they gave us a ser pent. We now look hopefully to the people, and believe that by the exercise of a liberal spirit of forbearance and com promise on the one part and by strict integrity on the other, we may yet pass safely and honorably through our pres ent troubles. 4. Resolved, That we approve the ac tion of the Legislature of Georgia, in providing for the payment of debts in annual installments, and in securing to the insolvent debtor a homestead and means of support. That we look upon such legislation as wise, beneficient, and dictated by sound policy ; that we be lieve the people of the State would ac cept and cheerfully acquiesce n similar action by our own Legislature, and give to the measures-the sanction of highest law. 5. Resolved, That next to the blessings of Heaven upon the efforts of our people, we believe that the happiness and pros perity of the State depends upon the pa triotism of the creditor class of her citi zens. By their forbearance they would eacourage industry, by their acquies enee they can modify constitutions, and make the laws conform to the exigencies of the time. Resolved, That under present. circum stances-despoiled by the ravages of war and struggling for very existence-it would be nothing short of refined cruelty to let loose upon us the rough soldiers ofi the law, and wrest from us the little which remains. This we might endure if it released us fromn their power, but we could not stand by and see that little sacrificed to satisfy the greed of a ruthless creditor, our *ives and children forced to beggary and ourselves yet crushed be-! neath a load of debt. ReDIcA. MONEY CO3MING SoUTH.-The New York Post, in commenting upon the politics of Tennessee, says: Tennessee is far away from us. Our people are not familiar with all the de tails of the struggle for political ascen dency which has been -going on there. But it is necessary that we should take a lively interest in it. Money is needed -there for the loyal press, which are vigo rousiy and ably conducted ; our ablest and most effective public speakers should go down there to address the people ; Northern journals and documents should be sent down there to all who will read,; in short, it is the duty, as it is the inter est, of the Republican party to make Tennessee, during this winter, spring and summer, the intellectu-l battle ground on which, with voice and pen, we may assert and maintain the ideas which must prevail over the greatest part of this country before we can have a real peace, and which are there the di r-ect issues in the poli.tical canvass. In Tennessee we have an opp rtunity to as- I sert republican principles b:fore the Southern people by our etlest speakersi and writers. We trust the energies of! the Republican organization will be -turned in that direction, and that be twreen now and next August the State will be as thoroughly canvassed by Northern men as any one of the Northern States was during the last summer and fall. A GooD S'ToRY.-A friend at a town down in the country somewhere near Bowling Green, tells the following: A short time ago a couple of medical stu dents disinterred a subject a short dis tance from town, dressed it, sitting up right on the seat of a covered wagon, e *and started for borne. Coming to a tav era and seeing the barroom lighted up, they left the wagon and went in for a drink. The hostler observed the man sitting alone in the cold, attemp ted some conversation, but receiving no answer, he decoveredi how the affair stood, and I instantly resolved to have a little fun oft his own on the occasion. So taking the corpse to a stable, he put on its over coat and cap, and seated himself in the wagon. The students soon returned ~ and took their seats by the side of the supposed dead man, when one of themt in.merrliment gave him a slap on the face say ing. "How would you like some flip oldI fellow?" then remarked tremulously, tot his cmpanion, "be is warm, by heav ens I" "So would you be," replied the corpse,~ "if you had been stolen from hell, as I have been !" Both .students bolted and never re turned to inquire for the horse and wag on; which wa' brought into town next day, when the joke came out.-Louis ville Courier. GooD SENSE-THE ANDER~soN APPEAL AND ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER.-ThesC two papers are amalgamated into one. The parties concerned have shown a proper regard both to their own interest and that of the public, we venture to say by combining the two papers. Both I will hereafter be conducted under the name of "The Anders>n Intelligencer ;" -Jas. A. Hoyt, Esq., Editor. Mr. Walters will devote himself more exclusively than heretofore to the con duct of the Sonthern Baptist. The great defect in the cultivation of1 newspapers in our Southern country, is planting too thick for their full and healthy support. Our Districts, as a.i general rule are not in condition to grow two flourishing newspapers, more than'i an exhausted field can grow two stalks of corn in one hilL-Greenville Enter prise.] A B1sHor CANED.-The papers say that .Bsop Wightman, of Alabama, was actu NEWBERRY, S. C. Wednesday Morning, February 13, 186'. Mr. Superintendent Sloan, of the G. & C. R. R., will please actept our thanks for courteous favors rendered. This Paper. The appearahce of our paper is not by any means satisfactory, but we cannot help it. The paper upon which we are forced to print is very poor, hard, ridgy and far from white, and all these bad causes combine to affect the print, It is not our fault however, but that of the mill w'ich does our grinding, and we have the promise of a better quality soon. In too great a hurry ! In arswer to a polite request the other day that an advertising account, con tracted during last fall, be settled, we re ceived in reply "you are in a terrible hurry with your little account, and its only - dollars and - cents! why what's the matter?" Matter! this is the mat ter ! dear, benighted, void of understand ing, delinquent reader; our business is made up of just such little amounts, and we need them all, to pay for paper, rent, hire of hands, food, fire wood, etc., etc., which have to be paid for cash down. Therefore we are in a hurry, and are forced to collect closely. When the fact is patent, that our terms are cash, cash down, no reasonable man should object to our hurry ; and when, as it happens often, we recede from our rule, and favor some one, on a faithful promise to settle soon, and that promise is broken, the individual is decidedly unreasonable, if not worse, who thinks us in a hurry af ter waiting weeks and months for an op portunity of seeing and dunning him. Why, bless his transcendently but not beautiful figure head, we wish some one were behind Him with a sharp brad awl, to put a little hurry into his motions with every puncture. If every one were of this way of thinking we'd go up the spout in a harry. Any one indebted to us on long time, is invited to take exception to the above, and put on any amount of mndignation :onvenient to carry with safety to life, o that in the end, and a very short end, de comes up and liquidates. Don't feel slighted dear reader; if you have the re notest idea that you owe us anything. ;et mad, fighting mad, if y ou.like, and :ome on, we'll meet you in any shape, nanner ur form. In a hurry, and no way fraid. Capt. E S. Keitt' Nomination It stiill be seen by card that Capt. E. S. Keit t, has gracefully accepted the nomina ~ion tendered him by a number of his ap preciative constituency, and like a good mnd true citizen, will to the extent of >is ability devote himself heartily to the -esponsible trust if the people deem him itting for the position. Determinatag. The New York Herald's Washington ~orrespondent, in some speculations on he subject of reconstruction, says: 'Thle Pr-e.,dent is immovable. An in. imate friend of his quotes a remark, hat he 'will fight the radicals until a :ertain place freezes over, and then fight hem on-the ice." If the fight becomes general we hope he Press will be exempt ; we don't like he battle gronnd.

It is also used for cook ng and heating purposes. The ,idea that he atmosphere generated by it is unhealthy s a mere fallacy. The heat is a pure and noist atmosphere, and becomes almost in tantly a vapor bath to the lungs. One gallon will cook and light a house or a large family, for two weeks at least.

Thompsonn Eq Pay a Part. We know of no better plan to suggest to put a stop to this second St. Barthol omew's passacre, this Iniquitou., indis criminate, wholesale purpose of suing, than that each man indebted pay a part of his indebtedness, whereever he can conveniently do so. Honor and human ity require it. Some there at-e who can* pay all, many half, and others only a portion. Let each one pay h, portion, and a few hundted dollars once put in circulation in this way, an immense re lief will b' experienced. A. threatens . 1'ecause C. threatens A., and so on to the end of the chapter, every body is in debted and every body threatened, and almost every one can pay something if disposed to make the effort. Shylock's they must be who would require the whole. Let us try it, start it an; .:ay, and if it fails it cannot be worse, but if success crown it, confidence will soon take the place of mistrust, and a rebound at once felt which will give new life and energy to every walk of life. There is money in the country, but unequally di vided, arid in many cases hoarded with a terrible tenacity,'it is hugged up to the heart, death or the next enemy, law, only can break the grasp. A discri minate squeezing of the legal pincers might do good here. On the other hand, the honest, crippled man, of small means must be ruined if pressed for more than he can honestly to himself and family pay.: The man who forces a claim, know ing that his unfortunate debtor will have to go by the board, let him be anathema. Let us for humanity sake have no suing, this is no time for it, any other would be better ; take a present part, and pay a part, one and the other, and in an ex treme case only resort to the last reme dy. 4100 The War Begun. We are indeed sorry to observe in every paper that we pick up, notices in nurmerable to delinquent debtors. Who began all this? It must have had a be ginning, and like an avalanche unlo- sed, is precipitating itself upon broken and ruined homesteads. Who loosed the first stone that hurled down this awful avalanche that is destined to des troy the very foundations of soci. ty ? Who did all this? Poor pitiable object how will he answer before his God, for this civil ruin ? Has he read his Bible ? Does he remember the parable of the two debtors? If he has and yet persists in this wholesale destruction of the last remnant of hope within the bosom of his struggling fellowman, let him remember the-end of that cruel creditor and may the Lord have mercy on his cruel soul. Tbe above pertinent paragraph we clip from the Clinton True Witness. Yes, indeed.nmy the Lord have mercy on his poor soul. But the mercy shown to others will be shown to him, and none other, yea, verily. W ho st arted the ball which is daily increasing in momentum ? Let him hide his '.nninished head in se caverns of the deep, ine green earth is no p'.tce for him. Who indeed instituted this terrible war, which promises a bat tle field in every section of this already un happy land, worse than that just elosed. Torch bearer Sherman, Beast Butler and this other run with the same machine, the engine of destruction. The Augusta Daily Preas. Any one wanting a paper from Augusta a real, live paper-will send for the Daily Press. The "Press", is publish:ed by E. H. Pughe, a practical printer ofsplendid ability; as'is evidenced by each issue of his paper. The popular questions of the day, and all local interests are discussed with signal ability, and great care g'ven to market repcrts and a telegraphic summary, wh ich embraces intelligence from all parts of the world. Augusta, is a city of growing importance, and with the net-work of rail roads that will shortly environ, and radiale from it, as well as river navigation, to gether with the enterprise and industry of her citizens, will make it one of the first commercial centres in the South. To all of which friend Pughe and (his) "The- "Press" lend unremitting labor. The price of the Daily Press is only $5 per annum. THEIR FEET.-The ladies of Augusta are noted for their pretty little feet. Augusta Constitutionalist. The Macon ladies are so handsome in face and form that we never suiffer our eyes to straggle to their feet. The fasci nation of features and per-son would pre vent us from seeing even a hole in their stockings.-Macon Citizen. Stockin.gs be darned ! What a hoosier you must be Do;tor. Our reason for noting the feet of our Augusta ladies was given in the p-tragraph, a portion of which you have quoted. It was to ob serve the agility of the dear little gazelles. You never saw a pretty foot that did not belong to one "handsome in face and form." The foundation perfect, the superstructur-e will be harmonious. Augusta Constitutionalist. Blow on gentlemen, so you blow not up the ladies. Onr sympa thies are yours however, in that we can boast of smaller, daintier feet over here. The following description of Psyche's feet admirably gives you a faint idea of what we enjoy: Her feet, they are so small, So delicate her tread, Daisies do not bend at all - WVhen she walks overheadi~ But each looks up, and falls In love With Psychie's tiny feet above. No Impeachment. The New York Evening Post is re sponsible for the following very im portant item: We hear, through private sources irectly from Washington, that there is not the slightest prospect of the success f the imipeachment scheme. Men of ontrolling influence, who are in the onfidence of the a 'vocates of impeach :ent, and whose'- names, if mentioned, would guarantee the correctness of their concusons freely avow that the plan. A kind correspondent, who has remem bered the Herald substantially, on veve ral occasions, sends us the following hap py Versification, which he dashed off under the inspiration of "the annexed pathetic" appeal, put in a-few weeks ago, by the devil, for beef, bacon, butter, and beans; he has his majesty's unqualified thanks: Beef, Bacon, Butter, Beans, Potatces and Wood taken in exchange for this pa per. Also, a young shote or two-and, in fact almost every thing else, save grind ing stones, shavings and young puppies. Verbum sat. The Herald's Appeal. "Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that littte long!" Bath been for many years we know, The sacred poet's song; And yet 't is very hard to think, That such is not the trnth; For man was born to eat and drink, In dotage, prime and youth. Ah! me, when forms around me groan, For new supplies of type: When hungry devils stare and m,.n, For matter, ere 'tis ripe; When brain, and hand, and eye each day, Are taxed from morn to night; We cannot truly feel or say, The sacred poet's right. W@ must confess that many wants, Ferplex the printer's mind; Unfinished copy ever haunts, When least he feels inclin'd To spread ideas o'er the page, f For ev'ry reader's gaze; To ladden youth-or solace age, Wlith wisdom, jokes, and lays. But still it would be very good, To burn the midnight taper If some kind friend could setd us wood, To pay us for the paper; Nor would we find it very hard, To fill the weekly sheet, Were our small jars but till'd with lard, Our larders stocked with meat. And.should we dare to softly utter, Where inclination leans; 'Twould be to nice"frssh'.country "butter," With "baeon," "beef," and "beans;" Nor would we foolishly decline, "Potatoes." old or new A pork steak, or a ter.ting chine, if not a "shote or two." It fine, we need not specify, Nor say Give this, or that!" We only hint (you'll not deny', And just quote "Verbum sat;" The Herald, with its humblest tone, Solicits beef. or hog; But spurns alike each grinding stone, And little pupI:y dog. Rail Road from Chester S. C., via Newberry to Augusta, Ga. Here is a line of Rail Road, which any one can see, by consulting a map of South Carolina, would be an important connection for travel either North or South. It would not only be important for travel in the directions indicated but there is a large extent of country, em bracing the North-western part of S. C., ar.d Western North Carolina, which would be placed by the building of this line of Road, in such a position that the people could send their produce either to Columbia and Charleston, or to Augusta and Savannah Ga. There have almost always been serious complaints of high charges for freight, on the Rail Roads of this State, especially in relation to freights to and from market. By the route of the Rail Roads the people are compelled to use thcpa.l; now running to Cobn; 'oia and Ch;;,;ston for transportation, without any choice as to any other Road. It is clear -tlrat if the Road suggested at the head of this article wer e in existence, the people, along the line of the Road, and North-west and West of it, would have a chQjee to go to either of the mar kets suggested. The portion of country between the line of Road and the mnoun tains is not by any means a poor coun try. A bundance of grain is grown there, Cotton is no stranger to the soil, great facilities of water power exist, sufficient to drive any kind of machinery, and it is well known that there are Iron Manufac turers there and have been for years past. Let there be facilities for reaching not only one market, but different markets,i and there would spring up 'in active and irrepressible energy which would devel op the resources of the State, and by these means enrich the people. It is not to be expected that the State would grow rich in a day, but something would, in this way, be done to repair the disas ters of the recent war, and the founda tion would be laid for a permanent pros perity for this part ouf the country. By these mneans; the people of the upper part of this State and of Western North Carolina would be benefitted, and they would, in time, communicate to others, a portion of the benefits they have thus received. TVhe good conferred would be mutual, and the prosperity which would thus grow up would be permanent. We shall occ.asionally devote a few thoughts to this in.portant subject; be eause it is of vital interest to the State. RAIL ROAD. ADvERTISING.-We commend the fol lowing from the Louisville Courier, to our non-advertising friends: "A merchant of this city told us, yes terday, that an advertisement of a par ticular article, he put in the Courier, a few weeks since, iealized for him a profit of exceeding $1,000 on orders received from the countr y from p)arties who had never before purchased of hitm, and whose custom was secured solely by the advertisement which appeared exclusive ly in the Courier. There are .others of our merchants who might profit by this example, and make a good many extra dollars for themselvyes." SENsJBL.-The Waynesboro' Times says: "There can be no better time than now to urge upon our farmers the very great importance of their planting a large corn crop. Let them make a suf ficiency of Cotton in ordet- to bring greenbacks into the country, but let them not neglect the corn, oats, or any thing adapted to our soil and climate, that will aid in feeding the people and promoting the growth of domestic ani muals. Don't~depend on making Cotton, and then buying provisions with the mhoney from the West, but make your own entables, and some to sell to your les fortunate neighhor." LOCAL ITEMS. WANTED-an active iighting man to do the outside dirty Work of our office, to whom a liberal compensation will be al lowed. Increasing age and an infirm condition of the editorial liver, together with a desire for a little more ease after a turbulent life of many years, compel us to seek for help, regardless of pecuniary consideration. Fightings without if ac complished satisfactorily by second hand, will leave us no fears within. We will still however attend to such little jobs as are met in the way, and occupy no time, all others must be done by our gentle man outsider, who must be perfectly competent. Noses which require peeling in our official capacity are invited into the sanctum, There the process can be gone through with ease and dignity. No one need apply for the above 'posish' who has not cultivated his muscle, and applicants will be put through a regular course of sprouts. The public are invi ted to attend each exhibition, of which further notice will be given, in the hope that these displays of science may have a salutary influence upon the hereafter pugnaciously inclined. Shiver our-tim bers, yes. OuR CHIEF-Town cook and bottle washer, excuse us for the mistake, as we meant to say chief marshal and town su pervisor, and good, friend Mr. Mathias Miller, with an energy quite becoming to him and the position he occupies, is doing the town good service. The side walks and crossings are rapidly assuming a decent appearance, quite comfortable to look at. This is right, and honor and praise to whom it is due, he has shown himself the man for the occasion.. Long may he continue to throw sand not in our eyes but under our feet, and beauti fy and improve the town. It is fitting also to give the new council a bit of commendation, for having opened the purse string in this wise expenditure of the public monies, for public benefit and comfort. Newberry is the third in im portance, commercially, in the State, and it is but right that her local government keep pace with her commercial impor tance, and that strangers in departing shake only dust from their feet and not filthy mud. LOCAL CoNSoLATIoN.-Persons, wvhen born, can expect about thirty-nine years of life. If they live one year their chances are good for 45; at 5 for 57; at 10 for 59 ;at 20 for 61 ; atS30 for 64; at 40 for 67; at 50 for 71; at 60 fur 74 ; at 70 for 80at 80 for 85; at 90 for .93 ; at 100 102; for 103 we can promise not quite one year more of life. We get this from an old life insurance table of London. Women average longer life than 'men, and married people liye I1.ger th%' the single Qnes. E- one not already dead u ill read tb-e above and make the calculations ac cording. We are not surpr-ised at there being more women than men now. Get married at once and increase-your chances. WEATHER.-SinCe last report we have had more of it ; in fact since fall there has been little else but weather, cold weather, windy weather, rainy weather, bad weather, all kinds of weather. On Saturdizy night the coldest snap of the season was experienced, Feather beds, blankets and fires failed to keep out the icy cold blast, and up to the present, with very little imanginative-fancy, one might easily think bimself on a voyage of dis covery after the North-west pasage, in stead of in the Sunny South. GARDENING AT A DIScoUNT.-In conse quence of the frozen condition of the ground, and the rare intemnperature of the atmosphere, amateur gardeners can with propriety keep in doors for the present and plant themselves near good fires. In the morning sow thy seed will not do just now. The only seed that can now be sown to advantage are your "wild oats," and the young gardener is advised to sow them without delay. REMOVAL-Look for the sign of the Big Boot of our friends, I. M. Suber & Co., in front of the new building, opposite M. Barre & Son, where on the inside will be found their stock of Boots and Shoes, lately removed from their former store. No longer, cribbed, cabined, and con fined, they will now be able to show their stock to much better advantage, and in a style befitting such a respecta ble house. A gay duke in Paris, recently deceased, was noted as the possessor of twenty seven hundred waistcoats. Twenty-seven hundred waistcoats! would not our friend Wright & Coppock like such a customer ?

Should the choice of my countrymen fall upon me.at the present time, hedged in, as we are, upon all sides, by great perils not only to our State, but to the Republic, all I can promise is a faithful discharge of my duty, and that no effort will be spared upon my part to bring back our noble old com monwealth to her former position and pros perity.
