ThcsCCom missioners were assigned thc duty of locating and erecting a Court House and Jail in Oco nco. Operations Resumed.

Wc well know that wc have friends and well-wishers in that sister county, and feel sure weare safe in numbering among them " minc host of thc beef-ftcak and mutton-chops." Wc have in time past sampled his larder, and cnn testify to its unexceptionable character as to thc quantity and quality of its contents. Wrc send a kind greeting and God speed to thc pioneers of thc growing young town, and oui friends and patrons of thc County generally Wc will always bo pleased to hear from thom W.

Como on one of those days. I hope to bc a Pickens C ll., on Monday thc 4th day o Mareh, to attend to any business.that may b< entrusted to me In thc meantime, any bus ine;8 left with J. E. HAOOOD, Esq., befon that day, will bc promptly attended to. Answer to Teacher. In answer to tho inquiries of " Tendier* in our last issuo, wo are ablo to give but littb information. It is familiar to all, that Gen CA?RY in his Gcnoral Order, to umko appro priations for tho year 1867, set apart twenty five thousand dollars for freo sohools, to b distributed among tho various toaohors win taught in accordance with tho provisions o that order. We havo no oopy of the order bat think it contained a proviso, that to cnti tie any ono to a share of tho fund ho shoub impart instruction to all that applied, regard less of race or color. This fund has not yo bpen drawn from tba Treasury. A resolutio v?as introduced into tho Legislature at th SpVeitil Session, to tho effect that tho Treasr ' ter should pay ovor to tho Superintendent ( ?ctuoatton tho sum ao appropriated, and thr he should procood to distribute it, pro rate among tho Sohbol Commissioners of tho var OU8 Counties throughout tho State lt alu provided for the process of distribution b Xthe School Commissioners among tho toool ors of their respective Counties. Tho rcsoh {jen has not been heard of or reportod e ?ince ita introduction, but tho 'Chairman of the Committee- on Education ia tho House, informed us n few days back, that ho would soou report a soborno to cover tho wholo mat ter. Tho money was appropriated, it has not boen drawn ; but as to whoo, how and who will finally got a pinch, wo cannot tell. For thc prcsont year everything connected with schools is still moro n matter of speculation. Tho Legislature has uudor consideration n most "infernal Bill" to pr?vido a system of Public Schools for tho Seato. Tho Bill has passed tho Sc m. t), nod is now on its second reading in tho House It covers twonty pa ges, and will, if passed, bo a sourco of oxponso greater Mum any meusuro heretofore adopted by that " progressive body." Tho least esti mnto I hnvo heard made as to tho amount necessary to carry out its provisions, is soven hundred and ifty thousand dollars, and tho greatest estimo to is ouo million dollars. I will give you two items in tho Bill, aud oaoh ono can cotuputo for himself. The sum of fivo dollars for each child in a township be tween thc oges of six and sixteen years, is to bo raised for free tuition. There arc nt least one hundred and twenty five thousand voters in the State, and granting an equal number of children between the prescribed ages (aud every ono must agree this is too small), and wc have, at five dollars each, six hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. It also require? an annual meeting of all tho School Commis sioners in tho Stato ut Columbia, and gives them, during the meeting, thc same per diem and mileage us members of thc General As sembly, makes tho salary of the Suporint?m ileut of Education twenty-five hundred dollars g&Viih necessary expenses of travelling and sta ?foicry, besides other expenses not herein ?Deified. The Bill has sonic redeemable fea Hores, but they ure like an ounce of sugar to Fa gallon of gall. There is to bc nt least one School in each township, to bu open to thc sooty and snowy alike This is all wc can toll you, Tcaoh er," at present, and wo uro sorry it is not more satisfactory. When thc Legislature adjourns wc will give you full information us to all provisions in reference to the cducatiou of the poor. It may bo the two races -will havo sop arate schools before tho thing is through ; and if not, our public sohools will bc like Jacob's oattle, all " fiug streaked and striped," a color not in good odor among democrats.

DHAN COUUIKU: Prom tho progress it is making in tho business before it, 6ecms to havo a pious regard for thc old adage "Hash n slowly." Its daily sessions vary in length from two to live hours, thc hitter rarely In p pnning unless eases of fillibustcriug. It has now becu in regular scssiou sixty days, and has accomplished but a small part of the work contemplated. The cost of tho two sessions will probably bo ou thc shady side of three hundred and G ft y thousand dollars, against thirty thousand our usual expenditure (before thc war) for law making. What is that to a great and wealthy State like South Carolina, whose sand hills produce goober pease, and hilsidos {l yaller nubbins" in pro potion; Have lier people any right to com plain ; Have not the Puds of tho Stato ad, van cod steadily in value, while the Bills KP. ccivuble are now bringing ninety cents on tho dollar. Is not this an evidence of prosperity ? Who can doubt but reconstruction, though a costly business is thc hen that lays thc golden egg 1 Their arguments, designed to provo our present happy and prosperous condition, aro as fallacious ns the opinions propagated by tho early political economist, that the itu; position of heavy taxes would promote wealth, by stimulating tho citizen, in order to.live and meet his taxes, to put forth every effort to create products-; while on the contrary ex perience proves, that nothing so much crip ples and piralyzcs thc productive industry of tho people as burdens over taxes. Public credit is based firstly, upon thc idea of thc permanency of the Government, next upon its punctuality in meeting its obligations; and lastly upon its population ana inherent sources of wealth, as compared w'th its an nual expenditures. If thon wc had a frugal government, is it not probable, n ty even cer tain, that, our bonds and bills would rate, nt ill higher in thc market ? Or does a reckless luttravngnnoo, a waste of thc public money Hihnncc public credit ? With thrcc-fourtha RH our property swept away by a resolution leaving us entangled with public and private obligations, with twofold greater legislative expenses, with three hundred paid oillcials not known to our days of prosperity, and with an increased salary voted to every officer existing before tho war, and who eau reasona bly say that public credit is strengthened ? Who can deny, but there are natural causon for its wane ? Still the Leg isl it uro sits roll ing up tho vast mass of debt, by laws crea ting now fields of expenso Our course now resembles that of a prodigal, who possessed, in his inimagination inexhaustible wealth, sc ittcrs unremittingly, until tho day of account ing finds him a bankrupt. If the more intel ligent would but estimate the amount neces sary to meet tho expenses resulting from ex isting legislation, they would surely say, hold, enough. Put this is not probable from thc expensive school system, attempted to bc in augurated by thc Pill now under considera tion, to provide a system of public schools foi tho state. There is some hope of defeating this Bill in thc House. Tho leading measures before tho House during this week was thc consideration*of thc Bill to re-enact and validate the Act of 1803 giving additional aid to thc G. & C. Ii. lt company with tho accompanying veto of tht Governor. It was taken upon Wednesday, and tho reading of tho Veto Message oalloc for. When tho reading clerk roached tin clause. " If it is understood by corporation or individuals that all that is necessary to sc cure thc success of their schemes is to pres ont a Bill to tho Legislature, embracing what cvor provisions they may deem njost condu civc to their interest, and by assiduous lobby ing and other questionable means forco i through, thc Stato Capitol will bc constant! infostod with thc paid agents and advocates o overy conceivable project by which specula tors may hope to obtain control of tho pee plo's money," bc was stopped by DoLnrgc who contended that it contained an indirco charge on thc part of tho Governor, of dis honesty in tho Legislature and unworthy t bo heard by tho hou30. On motion of Smit . of Spartonburg, tho farther reading of th Mcssago was disponsed with. President Hammett's ablo reply to tho Vet Message is in print and worthy tho pcrusi of every ono. Thc question, "snail tho Pi pass, tho Governor's Veto to the oontran notwithstanding being put to tho lions passed by a vote of 87 to 1/ and thc Ac was announced to bon law from thc Speaker desk. Thc Pill to validato tho olootion fi tho Municipal Officers of Charleston, passe its second roading on Friday It olicitcd groat deal'of debato from both wings of tl Radical part, during which bitter invectiv woro unbarmoniously blended with tho mo faroiaioal actings and sayings. I will n report what did occur, but simply say, th tho intellectual gymnastic* of tho debate called forth tho remark, that it boot u Robin son's Circus, mid was froo besides. Such scones rarely occur. Thc Court has been in session several weeks, Judgo Boozer presiding. It is now engag? J in tho trial of Richardson and Qray, two moiubcr.s of tho Legislature, for tho murder of young Smith last summer. Tho testimony is finished and tho cuso will bc argued to-duy. Tho Criminal docket was unusually large, comprising nearly every grade of crime, from murder to sim plo larceny. Tho Bar ia well pleased with Judgo Booz er, his only fault being, tho " hasten too slowly," which I supposo he learned in thc vcncrublo Stato Sonnto. The Female college Buildiug, known as Burhuinvillo in the vicinity of this city, was burned a few days back. It had not been open ns a school for some timo, but was va cant.
