PICKENS C. IT., S. C. :
Satnrday Morning, May 16, 1857.
Tax Statement.
Through the politeness of our cfiieicnt
Tax Collector, Mr. C.vuky, we are enabled
to lav before our renders (lie exhibit following
of tax statistics for the year 1850 :
Tlio wliolo amount of tax collected was
$1,959.83 ; slaves, 4.140 ; fire negroes, 31;
acres of land, 750,500, to wit: first quJdi- I
tv 11,110, eccond 73,706, third 074,850*,'
value of town lots, $37,000; professions,$4 >
G25; Rales of goods, (imported articles) :
$72,750. TheTax Collector's commissions j
amounts to >383.00. Tho District tax (for i
tho poor) amounts to only $/,09.22.
Births: wl/i'o males, 12G ; females, 117;'
deaths,101; marriages, 124. Births: Mack j
males. RO: females, fid; as. Tl?o J
return?> under these heads are, of course* |
very imperfect, as the law, requiring them j
to bo ni! "ie, was only passed in l>ec. 1800.
Death of Maj. Whitfield.
H U HI o juVlilOd 'lO 'lOrtMi thftt Mflj. J. 1.
Wiiitfihlu died on Tuesday last, at Anderson
C. II. The immediate causo of liis
<lenth has not readied us, but he had lived
to a ripoold age. He represented Pendlo I
ton district in the Legislature for a number |
of years, and, at the time of bis death, was '
. 1
the oldest lawyer on the Western circuit.
Estato Sales.
At the estate sales of CoI.Jbssk McKinnky
and James McKinnky, deceased, six
negroes wore sold at an average of $822
cach. Corn brought one dollar ami fifty
one cents per bushel, ll was a credit sale
with interest.
Tlic 5jale of corn, the "oldest inhabitant"
fnyp, is tho most extraordinary that lias
ever taken placo in tho district, but very
properly causes no excitement. Would it
not bo well, however, for pcoplo gener
ally unclcr tUo circumstances, to husbaud
their resources? We know of no
Kcjypt, except a railroad market.
The Battalion Review.
Tho upper battalion of the 2d Regiment
paraded for review on Saturday last, at tho
usual place of rendezvous. Maj. Rogeks
commanded, anu, wo arc but according to j
him his just duo, when wo say that lie ac- ,
quitted himself handsomely. The men?
too, wore prompt in the discharge of their !
duty. Cut. Phatubk, with a brilliant stall",
reviewed ; and, at tlio close, addressed tlie
battalion in few brief and appropriate re- I
marks.
The presence of tho Pickens and Walhnlla
lliflemen, with full ranks, seemed to
ir.fuso military spirit and ardor into tho j
movements of all. Tlioy are ornaments to j
tho battalion, and through il to the sccond
llegimont.
Tho officer in command deserves the
ilmtilra r?f nit fiir thr? r>r/mAmotL>> r*t ^...1,
; ? w. U|UV,
during tlio day.
The remaining battalion of the 5lh Regiment
was reviewed by Col. Jameson on
t ho same day. From a friend, who was !
present, we learn that the atkr.drmoo was
larrje. It was the first effort of that nrom
ising young officer, Maj. K. II. Guii fini
and wo arc pleased to hear him highly
complimented at the commencement of his 1
military career. It augurs well for the future.

The Southern Quarterly Review.
E. II. IJkitton, lisq., the proprietor of the
Review, publishes tho following unfavorable
statement of its financial condition :
Iii tlio course of the ensuing Week tlie
4th number of this ably conducted Quarterlv
will be issued from this oOico.
The forthcoming number will prove to
bo one of the richest that.has been published
; and it is to be hoped that the friends
of Southern Literature will rally toils sup- j
port aim insure lis pormanonoy.
order to prove to our fiieiids o<!r tio- j
sire to sustain the work, wc think it not
improper to slate, that we have paid out
and incurred a dvbt in its publication, during
the past year, amounting to $0,343 21
Ol'this amount wo have paid in
cash, $4,130 20
Liabilities yet to bo paid, 2,170 01
Total expenses, $0,343 24
Of this sum wo have received 1,019 00
Excess paid out, over receipts $4,423 31
On examining our books we find
tlio anionut due, 5,'200 GO
Profit, after paying expenses ?777 32
If the above amount could bo collected,
wo would bo enabled to pay off nil liabilities
and realize a profit of $777.32. And
when it is known $3 per page is tho price
for articles published in the Review, the
rmul.tr mint ll.nl iI.a 1- I '
. v..Mvi ow iiiuv ntv uv/iu i;au uu uasily
sustained if those who receive it will forward
their dlios.
The amount of ?5,200 OG found to be duo
does not includo arrearages ]>rior to tho
year just closing, and honee we arc encouraged
10 go on, if tho subscribers to the
Review now in arrears will do us the justice,
by remitting at an early period the
sums due by them for tho work delivered |
last year, including tho number shortly to j
bo delivered.
Wo are not asking alms. Wo simply
on treat those who have not paid to do so,
and we will endeavor to carry on the Rc- \
view, under tho conviction that tlio people
of tho South will ultimately determine to
support liberally the only woikof its character
now issued in tho South.

One yvHi's active operation* lias enabled
our army to drive tho Seminole from hi*
last hiding place. Their crops have been
destroyed, and one or two months more active
operations, would settle this war for
nil time.

have planted crops. We now fear Hilly
will reap our harvest, lie is not so igno- ,
