To Correspondents.
Tho article of " Y index" has boon reeei ved,
and w ill appear soon, although wo do not see
xvlmt ean l?e accomplished hy continuing tho
discussion. The patience of our readers is
almost thread-hare!
" Not hy Webster" is evidently personal

P.-jRoa "Retnrnerl
Tho number of rases retur;*oil for Abbeville
was one hundred and fifty. Those for
Anderson amounted to fifty or sixty. The
exact number of eases returned for this district
is two hundred and fifty! Of this number,
ninety-six are writs. Making, in the
-whole, an unusual amount of litigation for
tlie district. Besides, tliere are numbers of
unimportant State en >es to lie disposed of.
Saleday.
The proixmity of snledav to Court doubt
less keptsonio away on Monday hint, although
there was a strong representation present.
The large quantity of land offered V?y the officers
of tho district and others was sold at very
moderate price*. The countenance t>f bidders
generally indicated their knowledge of
tho Money pressure that is rolling on from
tho North, and which must affect us mure or
less.

The Pickensville Camp Meeting.
Tlic camp meeting at I'ickensville was held
during last week. The number of people in
attendance was largo. Rev. Dr. Horn, Mr.
Cari.isi.e and others were present, and conducted
the religious exercises of tho occasion.
"NVo iSiil not ascertain the number that joined
the Church.
In lar?;c crowds, it is not unusual to see
some who are not restrained from "wrong
doing," hut we do not rem Heel to linvc wit
nessed such disorderly an<l riotous conduct
anywhere ojl ft similar occasion, as ocounel
at this place. Whiskey was doubtless at tlio
bottom of it. Such a state of things should
be frowned down by every good citizen, and
the law applied us a corrective where nothing
else will do.
If good order cannot bo maintained such
assemblages might be discontinued.
Wheat and Ro<\ds.
The Greenville Patriot exclaims ove.- the
abundaacoof tho wheat crop, and notes the
fact tlmmftr. i niis. uf Hits (UsiiU.t,
" raised eighteen hundred bnshols, and Mr.
E. P. Vbhscr, hi$ neighbor, twelve hundred.
On ono aero, Mr. SitEi.oit grew lifty buahols."
From the Euterpn'zr, we learn that some
of tho citizens of tho district are making a
now road to Greenville from Pickens. Tho
route is north of tho Ligon'n bridge road, and
will cross Saluda nt Cjx'b mill. Tho bridge
will be free. A friend informs us tha' the road
will bo superior to the old one, and the "rough
aud,ruggcd" hill cast of Saluda almost entirely
avoided. Good roads are indispensable
to Iho development and progress of this
section of country, and will ever lind in us a
gtoady oncourager and defender.
The Money Panic.
The pressure upon the hanks and eommoreo,
as we loarn through public and private sourcos,
has been of short duration in the Northern
section of tho country. The loss gener
ally lifts boon great, nevertheless, ami has
had a tendency, together vith tlic scarcity of
money and tho diatmstfulnoss of tho banks,
to reduco tho pric.? of cotton and provisions,
ami depress trade generally. Tho panic is
Tnakibg its way West, upturning in its fury
business linns, private bankers, and hunks.
At the date of our last number, it was in Baltimore:
since, Washington, Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, ami North Carolina havo
ten. mo shock, anu more or less fulluros ftiid
hank suspensions have taken plaeo in each of
the States uu ntioncd. It is thoughtthe hank*
of thin Stuio will wtathor the storm safely,
though some afe not without their misgiving*.
A few days will decide the matter. Meantime,
courage, prudcu^o and lonionoy will
effect much.
Wo give elsewhere such extracts as will
enable our readors to inform themselves accurately
on the subject.

W c were all strangers, but we soon became
acquainted and formed quite n pleasant little
parly. TlieOiraad house is a little world
within itself, but my opinion is that we
pay a big price fur very little. We
don't have to pay only for what we eat, but
we have to pay for the, silver plate we look
at, while we are eating, and for the great
array of servants that are performing military
ovolution; around the room.

time is the suspension of the Hanks. On
Friday there was a run made upon every
Hank in the city. Hv some means n panic
was gotten up, and every person tliat held
notes put off to the Hank to have them redeemed,
and in a tow hours the crowd assembled
around the Hunks amounted to
thousands?every man trying to force his
way in to get silver for his notes. This
scene very much resembled the rush to the
ticket wagon of;: circuHor toa "candidate's
treat" on election day. Yesterday morning
every Hunk in the city suspended specie
payments, and the excitement in commercial
circles is great. It is thought that
tliev will resume irivnient airain in a few
days.
I am very much pleased wifli the city of
Philadelphia, but being a little unwell yesterday,
I did not visit many objects of interest.
In the evening I took a .stroll on
Client nut-street to look at the beatify and
fashion of the place, and the number of
people that arc to be soon on the streets is
immense, almost fabulous. In iuv ramble
I visited Washington sipiaro, a beautiful
park, shaded with noble old ehns nnd laid
off in beautiful gravel walks. Although
it is in the heart of the city,"you may sue
the squirrels jumping from tree to tree and
playing upon the grass, picking up such
fruits as the juveniles throw to them. T also
visited Union nark, the old II. S. Hank. In
dependence Hull, &e. I may spca 1c again
of what is here to he seen. (}.

Dour 'J'hompwn : I have now been in
Gotham two days, and have seen the "elephant"
in all his parts, as ho is to he seen
only* in New York.' It is truly a jjreat city,
and amongst its one million eight hundred
thousand inhabitants, we must expect to
find all sorts of people. 1 arrived here on
Sunday night, and on Monday morning act
out oo a tour of sight-seeing. The lirst
place I visited n:' Wall-street, and was
shown by a friend through the customhouse
and the Merchant's Exchange. The
magnitude of these plaec.< beggar* description.
To pivo you an idea of the mapni

who had lived hero all liiH life, to assist m<>
in looking for our friend, C. K. (Iat.t.ENi>i:k,
wln? in now in tlie cusfoin-hou.se, and
we .searched for two hours and could not
hear of him, much less sec him. We were
referred from one apartment to another until
we got tired and finally abandoned the
search. The Merchant's Kxohange is a
great building, costing oi|0 million eight
hundred thousand dollars to build it. In
the afternoon I rode up town to Fifth Avenue,
where the rich nabobs live. This is
the prettiest part of town. In the afternoon,
I went to Niblo's Garden and saw
the Fnntomiiuo of .Banco. This afternoon

where entertainment* are given twice a day.
The notorious Mrs. Cijnnjngiiam in hero

You have frequently read of great maw?
meetings held in thft Park. Well, one of
these great meetings of the Democratic
party is now being heldj and tho meeting
