WALHALLA, S. C.:
Friday Morning, May 7, I860
In Now York, on thp 3rd instant,
Cotton was quoted ot 28*. Gold, 35J.
Greenville Court.
An extra term of tho Court nf Common
Tiens is now hoing hold for G roon ville County.
Tho regular torm opons on Monday next.
Personal.
Capt. W. 0. LEE requests us io behalf of
himself and Lady, to present to tho citizens
of Walhalla their gratitudo for the uniform
courtesy and hospitality oxtendod to thom at |
all times, and especially their sincere appre
ciation of thc christian sympathy and conso
lation bestowed on thom in their sad bereave
ment. They will ever cherish thc people of
Walhalla in grateful remembrance
Saleday,
At Walhalla, passed off quietly. There
was but a slim attendance of people. Tho
Sheriff sold no land or other property under
execution, though several tracts had been ad
vertised for salo on that doy. Several small
pieocs of land were sold under decree from i
tho Court of Probate at very reasonable pi ices,
and among them a traot of 130 acres lying
\n two miles of Walhalla with a ucw framed
building, (unfinished) on it, at 8305. On
this pluoc there was about twenty acro3 of
bottom. Two other places situated in differ
ent parts of tho County were sold, ono con
taining luO ?ores for $147, and ono contain
ing 250 aores for 8500. All these sales were
mado on a credit of niuo months except costs,
which were to bc paid in cash.

The Homestead.
Eaoh recurring salcduy originates new le
gal questions growing out of thc exemption
Act of 1868. Creditors scorn detcrmiuod to
on force their remedies t) tho utmost extent
notwithstanding the deceptivo road they must
venturo, while debtors equally bont on re
taining the reconstructed Homestead, claim
tho thousand dollars worth of real estate,
' though it requires several disjointed parcels
? to roach the amount. Every man who owns
f a piece of land and owes a debt must havo a
Homestead, though tho land is cabinlcss and
a perhaps has never cvon boen seen by tho par
ty. While thia little play is being aotcd in
-.?Borne of thc counties, thc judges in others are
hewing down and curtailing tho sanitary cfli
j caoy of the law. Justices Carpenter, Rut.
|? land and Oreen have ench deoided in their
jj| respeotivo circuits that tho homestead exemp
li tion does not apply to judgments obtained pri
ll or to the adoption of tho constitution. Such
judgments aro vested liens on tho property of
the debtor and any law which attempts to di
vest such liens i:: unconstitutional and void.
Those decisions with their opinions go to thc
Supreme Court for final adjudication. Tho
decisions made by these judges are not a de
_parture from thc opinions entertained by even
the Radical members of tho Legislature, who
framed and advocated tho law. If we arc
not mistaken they never claimed that the Act
?would operate to defeat sales on judgments
and mortgages, but '.hat it might oud would
havo a retroactivo operation ns to existing
debts and obligations not prosecuted to judg
ment before tho adoption of thc Constitution.
..Wo entertain little doubt but that tho decis
ions alluded to will bo sustained by tho Su
premo Court. And what then. After this comes
virtuous intention of tho law a sposscssing tho
. a retrospective efficacy against pre existing ob
ligations since sued to judgment. Tho moral
obligations of tho dobtor is tho samo as to ob.
L ligations and judgments and tho legal obliga
? tion in spirit differs only in tho faot that
tho creditor has acquired by vigilanco
tho power to enforce the samo remedy
more speedily. It strikes us as a faot pal
pable to every unprejudiced mind that tho law
in its retroactive character violate? the lotter
and spirit of tho contract and boneo of tho
Constitution. Tho dofondors of tho iaw rely
upon tho accoptanco of the Stoto Constitu
tion (which lind incorporated in lt tho Homo,
v.* teed clause), by tho United fltat?* Congres?
os fl conclusive argument for it? legality.
No candid ?ind will dony that the people of
?ho South are justly entitled to some relief,
f have nl*?y? advocated it as justly due
*.'?*?!"?:"';" -?-r *fv ? '.v.'.'r ?????yj.'Al'.
thom ia view of tho general ruin resulting
I from tho late war. Is tho homestead a fair
and impartial relief. In its operations, it re
solubles Agrarianism. Tho man of two
thousand dollars must givo up ono thousand
whilo tho mao- of nino hundred dollars re
tains his all though ho owek tho other party
five hundred dollars. Our juries havo found
aud adopted a moro impartial plan of roliof
in sealing old debts. It is uniform in its op
erations and based in tho immutable princi
pios of Equity and right between man and
man. Besides wo believe it to bo legal in
spirit and oan bo so proved both from logical
inferneos ^rowing out of tho circumstances
of tho country, and tho law of necessity and
tho publio good and from analogous judi
cial decisions in our own Stato Courts.
-?- Cotton.
Thc first aud greatest wants of man aro
food and clothing. The former sustains lifo
and tho lattor is indispensable to bodily com
fort. Tho production of tho ono to tho ox
elusion of tho other cannot fail to provo dis
nitrous as each is an essential requisito to hu
man life. Hence in Agricultural industry la
bor and production should bo diversified so a
to rondor cuoh tanner as noarly indopondon
and self supportingas possible Whilo wi
admit this, wo must aoknowlodgo that th
bulk of every crop should bo cotton. Ever
in this unfavorable olimato tho farmer oan re
aliz? moro oloar money from tho produotioi
of ootton at present prices than from any o
tho ceroals. In addition it is loss bulky, cost
a loss percentage to briug it to market as liv
pounds of cotton brings as much money it
fifty six pounds of corn, and lastly tho d'
maud for it is suro and not confined to an
particular locality but limited only by th
confines of civilisation nud commerce. Til
press of tho County seems to entertain foi
lest thc great profits of tho cotton crop <
18G8 will divert too much ofjjhc ngrioultur
industry of thc country into thc productic
of cotton to thc neglect of provisions. Th:
this will reduce thc value of cotton to rui
ous prices and thc disasters of 1800 and 18C
will bo repeated. Wc havo no such fears. Tl
provident and practical farmer will not soc
forget tho bitter experience of those years.
It is not in nature to do so and even should
drought cut short prov!..ions there is no dan
cr of cotton declining as somo anticipate.
At thc close of the war wo predicted that cc
ton, if ever, would not for several years ooi
mand less than twouty ocnts per pound. Tl
temporary prostration of the market in 18(
proves nothing farther than it sorves io <
tablish that in thc depths of poverty, our pc
plo never would compromi.-o their Honor.
They had. borrowed on tho fuith of their cr
and a high sonso of integrity forocd tho cnti
orop on tho market as rapidly as it could bc pic
ed and packed to enable them to meet tin
obligations. Our people are now on their f<
and oan hold thoir crop for a fair market prii
which wc prc sure will not bo smaller than :
tho crop of 1808. Wo say this for seve
reasons which exist in our own section a
which as wc gnthor from exohanges, is no I
obsorvablo elsewhere. In thc first pla
thc spring has been unfavorable tor fa
work. A great deal of rain has fallen whi
has prevented farmers from preparing th
land with ns much care as it should bc. ]
side?, thc spring has been late and dcoepti
For a few days wc would experience thc h
of midsummer only to bo followed by a c
rain and heavy frosts. This rendered
planting late which by thc old axiom \
mako tho crop light. The few, who plan
carly, in general had tho young plant dosti
cd by frost. This is truo of tho first plant
on tho Islands along our coast and wo hear I
complaints from Georgia, Florida and
west. Secondly, tho amount of labor <
ployed in'Agrioulturo is much less during
present than thc past year. The tendency
tho negro is from tho country to tho towns
villages and from tho field to tho shop. Tl
old habits of industry is growing weaker
no new laborers or at least not a suffic
number, havo as yet taken their places. 1
women too have abandoned thc field and
OOmo housekeepers eking out a scanty sui
tonco by washing an 1 other little jobs, J
practical mind must seo that these two i
will greatly diminish tho aorcs in cultiva
and henoe tho yield.
There is a third reason which wo
hoped, as it existed herc, would prove t
confined to our particular loonlity, but wc
tho samo complaint expressed in tho "M
gomery (Ala.) Mail." Thia is tho wa?
good, sound seed. That journal etatos
from boating pr somo other causo a groat
of seed has been injured and oannot bo
plied readily. Many persons having
such seed will havo a bad stand or none a
or will bo forood to rely on a second lato pl
?ng. This is tho case hero in some place
wo learn and tho real extent of tho inisfor
is not yet known. What do tho "bush
kors roly on whon they talk of fifteen con
loss por pound for cotton noxt year ? F
hon. That is the scorct, but every fa
knows that if ton tons to ono of these mar
woro soattorod over tho country thoy <
not overcome tho effoots of tho lato sp
diminished labor and bad seed. Thoy
modify tho evils but cotton must bo high
fall and the crop of 1860 will bo loss
that of 1868. Such is our opinion as d
from general nows of tho ootton Statos.
tho bright side of tho picture to tbc Agi

REMARKABLE REVELATION--THE PLACE
NKOOTIATIONS OP 1864.-A lotter tn a re
oont nunibor of tho " Whcoling Rogistor,"
from Roanoko Oounty, Va., makes tho fol
lowing remarkablo rovalation :
Whilo in Marion, Smyth County, a fow
days ago, I had tho pleasure of sovorol longthy
olmts with tho Hon. Fayette MoMullin. Mr.
MoMulliu says that since tho war ho was ono*
day in tho Prosidont's house, in Washington,
conversing with non. F. Blair, Sr. Mr. Blair
told him that soon aftor MoMullin's " poaoo
resolutions" had boen introduced into tho
Confederate Congress, Mr. Lincoln being ex
tren*ely anxious to bring about a peace hon
oroblo alike to both sections of tho country,
and forcscoing, and wishing to avoid, tho pol*
itioal oonscqueuoos of tho military subjuga
tion of tho South, sont him, (Mr. Blair) to
Richmond to confer with Mr. Davis and learn
I what arrangement of the difficulties could bo
m;uie. Ho was passed through tho lines of
thc contending armies and conducted to Mr
Davis' houso in Richmond. After a long
conversation with Mr. Davis and other prom
inent gentlemen for whom Mr. Davis sont
and for whom Mr. Blair then proposed that
Ooncral Leo's army bo marched into Mexico
against tho French ; that General Grant would
follow and support the movement ; that tho
armies would tiri ve out Maximilian, and then
the Southern States should name their own
terms of reconstruction, everything short of
independence being guaranteed. At Mr.
Davis' rcquost this proposition was made in
writing and after some consultation and reflec
tion, was signed and accepted by him. Mr.
Blair returned to Washington, and Mr. Lin- j!
coln was highly delighted with thc success of 1
thc negotiation.
It was in tho hope of consummating this
arrngement that Mr. Lincoln aud Mr. Sew
ard met tho " Peace Commissioners," Hons.
Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell, at Fortress
Monroe; but there, to Mr. Lincoln's ohagrin,
thc committee declared that they had been in
structed by Mr. Davis to insist upon the inde
pendence of tho South, and vould listen toi.o
other proposal. And thus tho wholo affair
came to a most " most lamo and impotent con
clusion."
Such is the substanco of thc accounted re
lated to Governor MoMullin by Mr. Blair.
Mr. MoMullin says that ho asked aud obtain
ed Mr. Blair's permission to make the state
ment public, but ho had refrained from giv
ing it publioity ponding Mr. Davis' trial,
fearing lest it might in some way prejudice his
case.
FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS FOR GEORGIA.
-Thc Savannah Republican says it learns,
" that william II Smyth, who has received
thc nomination to thc office of Uuited States
.Murshol L>r Georgia, is a captain and brevet
major in the army, who was in active sei vice
during tho war with the Confedeaato States
and was attached to the staff of Generals Pope
and Meade during the time Georgia was ruled
by thc military authorities. He is a son of
thc lute Wm. Smyth, Professor of Mathemat
ics in Bowdoin College, Maine"
Tho same paper also says of tho appoint
ment made for tho District AttorneysMp, thnt
tho " bitch " in it, owing to the disability of
Mr Abcrmnn has necessitated tho withdrawal
of his name, and thc telegraph announces tho
nomination of Colonel John M ?Hedge, of Au
gusta, for thc position Wc doubt if there is
a man in thc State who would object to Col.
Millcdgc's confirmation. Ile is a truo Geor
gian at heart, a good lawyer and an honest
man."
SW Tho Savannah Republican annonnocs
the arrival of au intelligent Italian there, who
wishes to purchase an island to bc colonized
by his countrymen. He prefers an island,
because his people do not wish to be brought
in contact with thc negro population.
