WASHINGTON, May 11.-The best
planned and most skillfally executed
campaign ever made by the Govern
ment against the whisky ring, culmi
nated yesterday, in the seizure of
more than thirty of the largest houses
in St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee.
Other distillery seizures have been
ordered at Pekin,-Illinois, Cincinnati,
Ohio, and elsewhere, and the Secre
tary to-day directed that legal steps
be taken at all points where frauds
have been discovered and that arrests
be made where evidence is sufficient
to justify them. The officers have
already ascertained that great quanti
ties of this crooked wl- iskey have been
distributed throughout the country,
especially in the South, but the form
of the packages in which it was origi
nally shipped has been changed in
many instances, and it will now be
impossible-to detect much of it. The
value of distilled property seized yes
terday is over $1,000,000.
The Freedom of the Press.
The sentiments contained in the
* following from the News and Courier,
will,' we are satisfied, be indorsed by
every membiler of the Press who was
in attendance on the occasion of their
unanimous adoption
* The South Carolina Press Associa
tion eould not close its eye to the fact
that the "working politicians," the
whole country o'ver, are engaged in a
crusade against the Press. That
which cannot be bribed to praise or
bullied into silence, must, if possible,
be broken down by rulesfor contempt,
by action for damages, and by crim
inal prosecutions. In no other way
can corrupt office-holders hope to se
cure immunity .for past offences, or
the opportunity to steal some more.
This is as true in Massachusetts, and
Louisiana, and New York as in South
Carolina, and the South Carolina
Press Association, after mature de
liberation, unanimously adopted the
following resolutions :
Whereas, in times when public men
.are corrupt, it is of supreme import
ance that the -people should have ev
ery means, consistent with private
rights, of exposing wrong-doing and
demanding and securing the reform
of abuses; and
Whereas. a free Press is the natural
and universal voice of a free people ;
Whereas, vigorous and systematic
efforts have been made by judicial
proecss, by c'vil actions and by crim
inal prosecutions to force the Press to
be silent when the public good require
that its utterances shall be bold, truth
ful and constant; aind
Whereas, a continuance of the per
secution of the Public Press in South
Carolina threatens to deprive the peo
'pie of their last and strongest barrier
against tyranny and venality. There
fore,
Resolved, That we most emphati
cally condemn any attempts, from
whatever source and in whatever
guise they come, to abridge in any
way the freedom of the Press as guar
anteed to the people by the organic
law of the State.
Resolved, That we look npon all
interference with the chartered rights
of the Press to inquire into the con
duet o-f public officers, and to print
whatever matter is proper for public
information, as a practice dangerous
in its tendency, subversive of right,
,insulting~ to justice, fraught with evil,
and tol>e denounced and resisted at
all times, on all occasions, and by all
lawful means.
This is a new Declaration of Inde
pendence, made earnestly, calmly, and
with a fixed purpose to maintain and
d (efen'd that freedom of the Press
which, in these days, is the last hope
and refuge of the people. Public
plunderers care nothing for praise.
'The one thing they want, is Silence!
Uuless the Press speak~ out, the mass
es of the people remamn in gnorance
of the misconduct of their faithless
servants, and the Press cannot speak

hold inviolate that right to speak out.

The Press Association.
As briefly stated in our last issui
the convention of editors and pul
lishers which met in Charleston on th
6th inst., was a success. True theT
was not a full representation, but
was fully large and influential enoug'
to w;.rrant the assumption that th
i Assoeiation. which was happily orgai
Ized on that occasion, will ere the uex
meeting be largely increased in nun

tofore in the way of forming an ass<
ciation of this kind, but these, as th
News and Courier states, in an ad
mirable article on the subject, wer
happily.avoided, and the rock on whie
other organizations have been wrecke

Glenn's Spring.
By reference to card it will be se'e
that this favorite resort will be opene
on the first of June, and the announce
ment will be received with satisfactic
by the people all over the State, but b
no section with more pleasure than b
the County of Newberry, which is a
ways largely represented there. TLa
improvements made at Glenn's are of
character which will afford comfort an
pleasure. The main structure as we
as the cottages have been much in
proved, while the internal arrange meni
in furniture, &c., have also received a
tention. We are pleased to notice thz
due regard has been paid to making th~
different approaches to the Spring cor
venient and easy. As to the tabbi
amusements, &c., no pains will bi
spared by Mr. Gorman, its popular le:
see. The announcement, too, that Di
. B. Mayer, our distinguished town
man, will be in attendance to respon
to any call made upon him professior
ally, will afford great relief, his skill a

e will be written by others. It would
0 take~a volume to cover all the ground
e and tell how pleasantly the Press was
e entertained and how happy each man
, felt.
s As this is a rambling account, the
a mind not yet having recovered its bal
h ance after seeing, hearing and feeling
n so muo,h, any disconnections will be
n overlooked, and the mention here that
d the elder Hemphill of the Medium

It editor in the State will be in order.
0 He bore the distinguished honor in a
d manner which not only reflected credit
e on himself, but evidenced that the
e choice of the Association was wisely
I made.
The visit to the Battery in company
g with some of the rural fraternity,
e who had never seen anyihing half
- so charming, was to us delightfully
e refreshing. The Post Band eloquent
ly discoursing sweet music, hun
Lt dreds of lovely maidens in pink and
y blue, and as many matrons in fine at
-s tire, festive youths, the rippling, spark
ling, splashing water, the pleasure boats
3- gliding by, all combined to make the
-e scene one calculated to warm heart
.e and soul. Our friends seemed en
;e tranced, they drank it in in silence,
5- and mounted the realms of imagina
n tion. We tried in vain to bring them
e down. It was no use, the lovely
it Charleston girls, the entrancing musie,
it the bright waters of the bay, the swift
It gliding boats, had entered their souls.
d At length we suggested that here an
n editor might get a local when1 in a
it pinch. That was business, it had an
e effect, and to a man they exclaimed,
Le yes, a thousand of them. Who could
h not get up a local under the inspira
s tion of so much of the beautiful.
it But there were other things s"en and
d other experiences. We did not visit
k the market this time, there was too
e much convention in the city, too many
r things to see. The Baptist Convan
k tion was considerably larger than that
d of the Press, but a member of the latter
I body claimed that the former was not so
-distinguished in the appearance of its
- representatives, but it mij;ht be best
a not to say much on that point.
- Busine.ss in the city is tolerably
. lively, yet it might be better; so
e thought every member of the Press
i Associatio'n, for while the merchants
r of Charleston complain that the up
s country does not give them the trade
s they. expect they make very little ef
fort to draw business to them. One
of the reasons is they do not advertise
s in the country papers, and the natural
e sequence is that they are not known
e as favorably and as widely as they
should be. That Charleston has facil
s ities for supplying the trade no one
e disputes, and very great natural advan
tages, but her business men cannot
expect that the trade will go to them
f unless it be solicited and inducements
- thrown out. We allude particularly
e now to the wholesale men. The retail
- dealers, too, should learn a thing or
e two; extravagant prices drive off trade
*r instead of attracting it, and frequently
e the ruralist can not only find an article
p more readily at home. but can get it
n at a considerable reduction in price.
The city merchant must not always
~o take the ruralist for a green horn.
- They should first find out who the
d customer is, but better still treat all
n alike. No member of the Press Con
'vention was victimized, but one or two
d of the delegates who attended the
I- religious meeting were, and in this way:
1 They had an ambition for a sea-faring
*n like and took passage in a yacht; they
t. were not going round the Horn but
0 around Sumter ; it was not a long voy
. age, but then the dangert were many
e and the captain and his crew of two
imen appreciated the gravity of the
it occasion by charging his passengers
7 each a couple of $2. It was a most
outrageous swindle.
eC Before closing, we call to mind that
t, with all.the latitude given, the privi
>f leges taken, and the opportunities af
n forded for getting ou.t of equilibrium,
s i but one member of the Press gang met
t with any difficulty, and that was on
0 the morning after the dinner~ when he
t, tried to get into his valise with a

one cause for regret. Our elevation
to the important position of Treasurer'
involved us in a sea of diffieulties. for
it did not take long ere the idea el-e
tered the mind of each member a"
to take advantage of our youth and
abstract the fuuds from our wall't, and
I eri
so frequent and persistent the efforts ite
I that finally we concluded to flee away
from the hospitable shelter of the .
Charleston Hotel to the suburbs of the ca
city. The numerous conspiracies to by
garote us made the latter days a bur- ce
den. It is a pleasure to say, however, :

that the funds are safe. and that the

it was impossible to remain on deck. its

)zAn HERALD:-Your weekly visits are
iG. E
;hly appreciated by us, and for fear you Miss
)uld discontinue them, I enclose - to ry E

'erhaps you would like a word from this
t growing part of our State. True the pen D
genius has never yet hallowed our moun- tionl
n scenery, nor' poet snug our gurgiing Mar
eams. IIistory finds here no records of "'H~
-er glory, and art no crumbling mona- a str
mts of ancient grandeur; yet there is much obed
re to interest the eye of the traveler; and .and
tn a fortune-seeker might find his dreams L
nearly realized here as in the "gold re-"'=
ms" of the far WVest. This superstitious
erence for some distant paradise is as
>ish as it is pedantic anyway. Our woods
d streams are as beautiful, and our val
-s as capable of production as those that
etch themselves along the Pacific Coast. .
ir houes of worship, though modelled not ceiv
ti graven pillars, nor adorned with sculp
ed architraves, yet "love for the old laud" I
tkes them beautiful in our eyes. Our
mes, though guarded not by the Lares and
nates that presided over Roman hear'.h
anes, have the vigilant angel of household
re forev.er hovering around them. Any beai
e unbiased by prejudice must admit that M
s mountain region is the garden spot of -
State. All that is lacking to develop REI
s a spirit of enterprise among the inhabi- Ba
its. Talk not of the rich harvest fields of lf
Xorthwest, while our own forests can
-nish hundreds of acres equally as pro- o
tive. Ovel
lhe natural scenery, too, is doubtless as u.g
mtiul as that of other lands. What is tit
ire beautiful than to see the red rays of 0the
morning sun reflected from ten thousand p
les suspended from every twig,aud bough, Due
'1 roof, for miles and miles around, and A
u like heaps of scattered j'ewels upon theDe
zed surface of the earth, or jutting
mn the rails of the fences like so many Rea
smhed chandeliers lighted by angel tu
ad ? A sight not unusual here in winter. Cur:
nd when winter-with its surly grandeur, Prer
brilliant Auroras, its fields of ice and- Chte
n, its delicate frost-work, and its rude Bil
ms that career so proudly through the Frat~
avens- has given way to the gentle and p
my spring, what is more delightful than Leg
stand upon one of our mountains and Red
w all the great lineaments which the hand i'
nature has thrown around us in the varied ce
mn of precipice and mountain, sounding 0
terfall, distant glimpses of human territory .
I the wide sweep of that circling horizon
ich folds all in its ample embrace ? Thtis
y be seen to-day. The sweet-scented wild
wers are blooming on the hill tops and the Capi
ices of the littlemountain streams are heard Sur
aking through the silence of the vales. Othe
w beautiful these streams, how transparent CJirc
-e at thetr source-how different from the .C
bid waters a hundred miles below. Scarce- Di
recognizable as the same! What a forcible cdh
strat.on of innocent childhood and guilty
turity. I do not know that there are any
ends connected with these mountain
earns; doubtless they have their incidents I.
e every other spot of the habitable globe. tiomi
is certain that the Indian has had his resi- 1
ice here, for a fragment of his dialect still to L
ngs to the names of some of the streams.
has trodden the same paths we now tread
g their wooded banks, and his bones are Corr
I resting beneath these green mounds.

I trample as lightly over our graves as we
w tread over the resting latc of those
