Our Merchants nrc beginning to show a commendable spirit of enterprise and business tact. The chaos into which the lion law threw every department of trade here has taught them a lesson they will not soon forget. True, they made soiue money out of it, but at the same time it has driven a large amount of the trade that legitimately belongs to this place to other towns, and it will require much tact nnd con nlerablc sacrifice, for some years, to fully bring it bock, To this good work the Merchants are now bending all their energies, and if they will continue to adspt the true and cvor winning business policy of short profits for cash, instead of long profits on credit, they will not only bring back the business they have lost, but will confer lasti ng benefits upon the f'onnty at large. It will not take long to convince the Farmers that they save fifty per cent, by buying for cash, beside? enjoying the consolation of knowing that they are free to buy where they can buy cheapest ami I to control the operations of their farms without | being bound under liens to plant such crops ! and in such quantities as the Merchants slin.11 dcom most advantageous to them. When the business of a community tins got tc , Mitch an unwholesome condition that the MorI chants refuse to sell for ensli at a rcasouahli profit because they can obtain exorTTtfiTfiV^WSfci on well secured credit, the busines of tlint con infinity, is in a dying state ; and, attempt to hid* it as some may, tl^t- has been the condition o this town ; and if the operations of the lien law had lasted two years longer, the town of I'nioi would have been but little more than a provisior do pot "for the tenants 011 Merchants' farms t< obtain supplies and deliver their cotton at. Thank (lod, a radical change lias taken plaoc and our people have got their eves open ir. time wo liopo, to prevent the disease from becoming incurable. The system of low prices and quid cash sales is the surest way to eradicate tliedis ease;and bring the market hack to its forme healthy and vigorous condition, and this plat ! our Merchants have determined to adopt. At the present time the Stocks of goods it I'uion arc larger and selected with more.car tlniif for years before, while the prices of al kitms oi goods have come down to me lowes i points and will successfully compete with price J iu nny market above Columbia. As to the character of our Merchants, w | have 110 hesitancy in saying they are honorable I and pure business men. Probably no town cai j boast ?f a higher tone of character in its busi ! ties circle ; ami now that they have broken loss ; from the credit-sl raining influence of the liei law, ami come clown to a legitimate htisines I basis, we feel that a new era of prosperity ha j opencil upon the County, its county .Scat air . j the whole mercantile ami other interests. .

As for my own parf", 1 atu inclined to think that we have >,B" had enough of the military to sutlicc for the ur- next few yeajs. ind But,for the life of nic I cannot sec the logi< of Barley's conclusion, which enables him te ves assert that the intelligence of I he agriculturist is :it fault," because ".in Old Farmer's" "pasi (Srand Cyclops" lias said that the people can'i nd be got together wit lipid unusual attraction." ? u" I surely. Tlieir logic is just the same, for tlx the "Old Farmer" plainly says thai he lias known lit, eight journals devoted to Agriculture to die, beag. cause the Farmers "lacked intelligence" to read j them, and he will "repeat" the charge. 1 might j say that these eight journals came to theirdcuil 1 '' I deservedly, because they failed to meet the tieuauids of au intelligent people. The fact ol these eiijltl drml journals does not necessarily prove the "lack of intelligence'' among the t.c_ Farmers. I$ut admit the truth of "An Old Farmer's" ;ir. and "Hurley's" assertion, and the ipicstion roup curs: What is 'heir duly, ami the duty ol ol. every earnest, thoughtful, intelligent Farmer in i|ie Union County? Is it right to permit the people to continue to grope their way in darkness, ,IIC i when it might be possible to enlighten them, (er and enable litem to lift themselves to a higher ,Hi plane of intelligence and improvement ?

If so, what the remedy, and 'or what is the plain duty of all good tnen ? Will "An Old Farmer" and "Barley" say that no efls fort should be made to remedy the fault ?
