The message discusses at som length the question of the right of expatrig tion, particularly as to the citizens of th U.nited StAtes residing permanently abroa with their families, and suggests legislati on the subject. It refers to the estaolis ment of a republic in Spai,, and to the e forts of the new government to abolish slav ry in all her dominions, which efforts are q posed by the reactionary slaveholders of Cubf who are vatinlv striving to stop the march civilization. This baneful influence ha th:us succeeded in defeating the efforts of a libera_l-minded men in Spain to abolish slav ry in Cuba and in preventing the propose reform in that island. In the interest c humanity, of civilization, and of progress, was to be hoped that the evil influences migl be soon avertLd. In reference to the captar of the Virginits and to the inhuman and ill gal m. urder of fifty-three of her passenger and crew, he says that . the Spanish gover1 nient had recognized the justice of his d( mand, and had arranged tor the immediat ielivery of the vessel, and for the surrende o the su;;vors of the passon :ers and crev and tur a salute to the flag, and for procee, ings looking to the punishment of those wh rnay be proved to have been guil:y of illeg nets of violecte towards citizens of the Un ted States, and also tovards indemnifyin those who may be shown to be entitled to it n It. he correspondence on the subje had been conducted in cipher and by ciblc ::d wais, therefore, not in condition to t submitted to Congress. The President e: presses his conviction that the existence African slavery in Cuba is ' principal cans of t!e lamentable condition of the islan: and does not doubt that Congress shares hi hopes that it will soon be made to disappea und that peace and vrosperity will follow i abo-:ion. lie suggests two constitution amef,ndmen:s-one to authorize the Presidie: to npprove so much of any measure of Co: grezs as his judgment may dictate, wi:ho approving the whole, and the other to pr vide that when an extra session of Congre: is convened by executive pre-'imatiua, legi lation shall be confined to such subjects the executive may bring before Congres from time to time, in writing. He recot mends theerection, at Washington, of a su abbe builiing for the cabinet officers, and f suLich officials as now'receive commutatic for quarters-thus setting an example to il States, which may induce them to cre buildings for their senators. The messa; noes very fully into the financial questioi and declares that :he country never can ha' permanent prospei:ty ntil specie paymnen be reched, Hie recommends legislation pr :ibiting National banks from the payment interest on deposits and forcing thera in re&umption, if only in legal tender notes.

Fence law. gNow, that the Le sfature is in see I ion we kn,,w of no more importan Ssubject to suggest for its consideratio than a change of the present Fene L~aw, so as to make the stock fenet r bie inste-ad of the cultivated lamt ~ The necessity, as well as the propriet r of'this change, has been time an again discussed by men who have fe l its importance. The advantages c rf such a change may be seen by a shoi a consideration of the subject. When one thinks of the vast amoun Sof time, of labor, and of expense al tending the present system of intel m ninable fences, he is surprised tha -long ago some means have not bee rf devised to lessen themi. In additio ytoeethe breaking of wagons, th Sirear of stock, the injury to land il hauling rails, during the very wore e part of the year, make it a subject c .paramount importance. It is tru that the enclosure of a pa..ture for th ,stock would be attended with all thes i difficulties, but in a far less degree, c ~eo'urse, and the difference is larg enough to make a change highly ad r visable. But these are not the main reason why our farmers should be relieved o the necessity of building innumerabl 'fences. It is only a question of time. Is Sside fences will not last always; the are now being tot n down to replenisi sthe outside fences. The last rail wi] be moved after while, and where wi] 'the next come from ? Many of ou t plantations have scarcely any timbe on them. They are.to-day selling fo far less than their real value, simnpl !from the fast that they have not o: em~. timuber sufficient to keep up hzF?wulfeii.~If one were to rid Ithrough the country and notice th Idilapidated condition of most plants tion fences, he would quickly see: strong reason for a change. If th necessity for so much fencing was rec rmoved those farms which to-day ar selling at a sacrifice would rise in val ue at once. Moreover, as farms ar now being cutip into small tracts fo sale, under the present system stil more fencing will be needed. W~ think one of the main reasons wh3 ou frmer do not divide the lands in, to smaller tracts and get rid of s->mc of t them, is because it would be difficult, p oit ably, to divide tracts so as to have a sufficient quantity of timber for feteing on each. We hope the Legislature will look into this subject. About the Currency. There is a great deal of discussion throughout the country as to what would be the best plan of regulating our currency so as to prevent a recur. rence ' of the financial disturbance I through which we are passing. This ( discussion has been called forth by the insuffieiency of our present system to net the times. Some contend for an f iunediate return of specie payments; others, for an increase of the legal f tenders ; and others still, for "free banking." We print below another view by a correspondent of the New York Her ald, under the name of Necker, which t is ably supported by strong and im pressive argument. le claims it to be free from the objections to which the other plans are liable. After stating objections to.the other views, he says, the measure that might be suggested, and is free from all the ob . jeetions thus far stated, would be as 1 follows: "We have 480,000,000 of five per cent gold bearing bonds outstanding, which are worth in Europe and here gold at their face. They are evi deuces of moucy loaned by the holder to the government. Let it be enact f ed that the holder may go to any pub lie depository and on presentation of his five per cent bond receive his equivalent of the amount and inte rest in greenbacks; and whenever lie or anybody else desires that bond e again, a deposit of greenbacks equal in amount, with the rebate of interest from that time the boud was deposited until it was again reissued, will enti tIed him to a: like bond again. This 7 would seem to be perfectly feasible. ' Or, in other words, with proper e checks and safeguards, so that neither the public nor the. government might . be defrauded, whenever any one hold e er of a five per cent bond called on a public depository and asked for his I money on it, he would receive that sum; and whenever again he or any body else went to the United States Treasury or a depository and desired one of its five per cent bonds and a paid an amount eqnal to its face at i the time of issue, he- should receive a like five per cent bond therefor." We publish the Essay on 'Saracenic e Culture," read before the Newberry Debating Society, at its last meeting, by our accomplished young friend,Mr. Geo. S. Mower. Saracenic Culture. When we look upon the complaraltive blank in the page of history caused by the dark ages of Europe, we instinctive -ly ask, where has civilization with all its attendant splendors, found a home. IAnother page answers us in its revela tions of the glory of the Saracens under -the Caliphs of Bagdad, Cairo and Spain. IIere wve have a civilization of a truly Oriental type. It is very much like those beautiful flowers which, alas, lack the fragrance of the more modest -violet. It is characterized by a want of strength. This lack of vigor was due .to the character of the p)eople. Indeed, civilization is only a reflection of the character of a people. It is in this light that wve ought to study this type, diflering F' much from that to which we are accustomed in the West. The Arab;s were free, hardy, and generous. They were naturally pas sionate and fickle, though capable of great energyv. This energy was due less to aniy innate force thani to the en -thusiasmi of passion andl adventure. t They were essentially sensuous, as is shown by their reaLdy acceptance of the brill ianlt p)roimises of Mahiomet. Under his leadership they became impetuous warriors, aLnd entered upon their career of conquest. Soon came a lull in this Y war-storm, followed by that civil dis I sension which finally resulted in the es t tablishmeint of the Caliphates of Bag f dad, Cairo and CordovaL. Each of these lac~es became a centre of liberal cul ture, around which clustered the wise m en <>f the age. Until the close of their civil wars, -the Saracens had confined their learn ing to the Koran, but now they began to awake from their mental sleep and 2 manifest a drowsy interest in literature. i and1( science. As they became more, e versed in these, they were more tolerant of others t At Bagdad the Augustan aLge of litera ture was in the ninth century of the fera, during the reign of Almamun, e wvho first called the muses from their classic retreat in the shades of Par-nas sus, to the luxurious city~ of pcace. e We can readily divide the learning of the Saracens into the four classes of p)hilosophy, mathematics, astronomy Sandl physie. The ancient Greek sages . were studied, but only through the im perfect medium of translations. Such was the p)ridle of one Caliph, in the s Arabic tongue, that lie orderedl the Eoriginals to be destroyed. This is at tested by the fact of our- finding in the 3 Arabic version wvhat is lost in the origi nal text. The writings of Aristotle, Plato, Euclid, Appollonius, Ptolemy, ~Hippocrates and Galen, wvere familiar f to the Saracens, who adopted the Sphilosophy of Plato. The mathematics, being of sneh a I nature that they cannot recede, were I returned to the Europeans in an im p)roved condition. r In astronomy they met with greater r succe.ss. The Caliphs furnished the r most costly instruments; the plains of Chabhea, with their clear .atmosphere, San excellent observatory. The mathe i maticians, first on the plains of Sinaar, and then on those of Cufas, measured a degree of the great circle of the earth a and determined its circumference at twenty-four thousand miles. There, without the aid of optical instruments, those ancient astronomers continued to behold the stars and mark the courses of the planets. They did not reject the theory of Ptolemy, although correcting - sonmc~of its minute errors; but they did degrade sublime science to the 'base uses of astrology. In the science of medicine the Sara eens deserve the greatest credlit for their skill and progress. The basis of their theory was Anatomy, Botany and present day. Trheir knowledge of anat-, omny was limited, since superstition p)re ventedl them from dissecting the huu.an j body. Thus they were acquainted with he solid parts alone, and more accurate nowledge was reserved for the mod rns. Their knowledge of Botany was more definite. At that period of the vorld's history the Arabian botanists vere amoni tie imost eminent.

FOR TILE HERALD. PrOSPLRITY, Dec. 5, 1873. MESSRs. ED)ITots.-First, my respects to he new man, whose name we find at the rast head. May success attend his efforts n his new undertaking. As a friend of the IERALD, we are proud to see it prosperous, nd hope that it may soon reach the highest tate of perfection. Our neighborhood being so dull for some imne on account of the "panicky" times, and Mr eugigerments having been such that we iad little time to manufacture arteles out of othiag, (you know how hard it is). we have seen silent for a while. Now, if we were like *Zu;a," a single ian, we might pick up some 'fair nymph." aid tell you about her, land vbere she lives, and here let me say there are one fair ones in our good old State. too, tsk the Junior; but we are out of that line of )usiness, and must deal in something more natter-ot-fact, hence cannot find articles as >ften as lie. Prosperity is still pro?perous and growing. kll the old firns have reopened, and besides wo new ones., The citizens are alive to their uterests, as is seen in the steps taken to mrovide for the cduc.-tion of the coming men tnd women of our town. Mr. Caughman is i good man in a good place. We have cnowu him from childhood, arnd almost the irst of our schooldays were spent under his :uition. Being well educated, a graduate of iuuth Carolitia College, as she was in gone by days, of thirty years experience, and a :,ristiau gentleman, he cannot fail to give t4:isfaction. The academy, which will be re pAired and fitted up, is just in the edge of town, in a very pleasaut location, near :nough to be convenient, and far enough way froin the business part of the town to be quiet and undisturbed. Students can have the advantages of religious seivices every Sunday. there being services in some one of the ehu_chcs in and around the place. They are connected with tle re-t of the world by aily mails and the telegraph. We were last week in Lexin.ton Countr, attendin- the meeting of the Newberry Con ference. We ought to leave the account of this trip to some young men from Newber ry, who, we think. enjoyed it better than we. But a word from us will not prevent them from telling what they saw. The roads were simply awful. They had been hitely "work ed," as we could see f om an occasional pine top lying in a gully. Our road workers, we thi:ik, suppose roads to be the work of na ture. Hence, when they find them in an un healthy. condition they give themn an occa ional prescription to. "aid naire" in her efforts to get right again. This is usually an armful of pine tops and a shovel full of earth applied here and there along the road. The effect of the remedy is felt by travelers who ride or drive, in constant fear of a broken limb or vehicle. or both. Who attends to this thing? We wih they would look after it. We think a fe.v tips over the road about Camping Creek, in their own convey ance would work a refortm. Notwithstanding the bad roads we reached our destination in safety. There was a good attendance on the Conference, and the time was spent profita lly and pleasantly. The people of this part of the Fork seenm to be getting on well. . We were told that in the neighborhood of the Blue Church bogw, &c., roam the woods in~ safety. Where is the next community that will say so?
