Low Country Farmers. x The Agricultural Society of South Carolina, composed of Farmers and Planters in the lower tier of counties, held its 94th annual meeting in Charleston, or. the 10th.

(Iraco was said by the Kev. A. Toomcr Porter, and the company proceeded to the discussion of the viands. When wine and nuts was brought in, Dr. Hose sounded llic signal to come lo order, lie then delivered uii opening address, which was frc<|Mctuly interrupted by applause and laughter, lie said that one great evil under which the country suffered was too tnuch Agriculture, and drawing supplies froui the North. One producer of food in four was sufficient for any country. Another trouble was loo much railroad, which had converted Charleston into a incretollgate on the great commercial highwny. [Applause.] lie ended by the observation that the people of this city had reflected long enough, and that it was now time for them to go to work, and offered the toast : "The State of South Carolina? May her sous hereafter make their own bread, cat their own meat, wear their owu homemade clothes, stand in their own shoes, and marry her own daughters." [Cheers, applause, ? -und''Pixie" by the band. ? . ^CtrtlT r>i tr.. mnit-igv ?' "* * " great ami long continued applause. Gen.

[Applause.] Col. Trenholm, in an eloquent speech, proposed the health of lion. B. F. Craylon, President of *ThVT5tate Agricultural Society. The latter gentleman rose amid much applause, which lie caused a continuance of by his speech, Willi*ii anoiimicu in loucnes 01 humor, lie "brought ilown I lie house" time after time, especially in his iiUusiou to "(lie agriculturists of King street.

Snow commenced fulling here about daylight, and developed into a driving storm, which, by ten o'clock, threatened a heavy fall of snow.? This was succeeded, an hour later, by rain and a strong wind, which has continued all the afternoon. The gale threatened tho prostration of tulegraph wires, and damage to property and shipping. IlKAOtxn, Pa., January 4.?A severe snow storm set ic early this morning and continued falling tip to noon, when a depth of seven or eight inchos had been attained?afterwards turning to rain. The storm is general over the Schuylkill coal fields, nearly all the collieries having been stopped by it. This may seriously effect the furnaces that arc short of coil, as a suspension goes into effect to-morrow, and it will be impossible to move loaded cars for two or three days on account of the snow. ? ? "German Syrup."?So other medicine in the world was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Itosehcc's German Syrup. In three years two million fi ur hundred thousand small hollies of this medicine were distributed free of cfi(ir>/>' by Druggists in this country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, 1'neunnnia and other diseases of the Throat and Lungs, giving the American people undeniable proof tliat German Syrup will cure them.

Mr. llarley was a prominent lawyer of Walterboro, and Mr. Fislibtirne is Clerk of (lie County Court. They were brothers-in-law, Mr. Fishhurnc having married Mrs. ll.vrlcy's sister.

Was what we thought on Monday last, as we saw men laying their axes to the roots of that grand old oak tree in front of Col. J. L. Young's dwelling. It appenred almost sacrilcgcous, for it was removing one of the oldest and most venerated landmarks of the town. If that old tree could tell nil that had been said and done beneath its spreading branches, what terrible drathltd developments it might make. Our great anxiety now is for those who sought "its peaceful hade" during the sultry summer days?especially "between drinks." It has keen apparent to all, ever since the great Tire hint June, that its Jays of beauty and usefulness had passed. The trunk and all its branches on <hc North and East sides were so scorched at that time that it was impossible for it to fully recover its former hnndsorne proportions. We shall iniss "that old familiar tree," but its removal will not be much regretted by pedestrians, as it was an obstruction to the sidewalk wh' s P * * '%? Ho Glaring Misstatement. In the Spartanburg Herald of this week tl.erc is a long Communication upon tho late 'Itevonue Raid" in this County dated "Bogansvillc Township, Union CountyJSjan. 11, J.878, and signed "Citisens of Boj^nsvilAmmnsliip," which ensconces with'?A\^tpmf~allow the appeftrew InThe Union Times in regat^io 7 Revenue Raid, ns wo bee you copied it intgood faith, he having published it,-' as you say, oft the statement of an "Eye Witness." At the close of tho article in the jmrald is a requst that ice republish it. Rjn the first place, if there were "glaring misstatements" in our report of the ntl'air, the people of Rogansvillc Township should have corrected them through the same channel. They know full well that we arc ever ready to correct any errors that nrc innde by us cditorally; but as they have chosen another vehicle and used anything but courteous terms toward us we do not feel inclined to republished that article. In the next place wo can find no glaring misstatements in our report, nftcr comparing it with the article published in the Herald and also with one,in manuscript, now before us, which a citizen oMic^gumM^^J^owuship lms requcstc^ ps^ to WcgnWthe two reports that wetW(mniT*lent in the community nt the time, while the main features of both hml been published fn the Charleston papers, some days beforo they appeared in the Times, and we then stated thnt we did not know which to believe. If the "citizens of Ilogansvillc" were so anxious to correct tho ylaring misstatementt, why did they single out the Times as the only paper in which those ylariny mi*statnnrnt? were made? And why did they ignore the Times by publishing their reply in another paper. The only discrepenciesof any importance that we can discover inour short account, when compared with the long article iu the Heratd, is where we say the stamps On the tobacco boxes were so aflixed as made it easy to evade tho law, but in the report above thai wo state exactly what "Citizens of Ilogansvillc" state, that the stamps *ei^[ Bonked wilh water and could bo easily removed, and the officers took them from the boxes, and then arrested the negro and Mr. Hill._ As to The brutal treatment of Mr. Hill, ?making ad uyly u-outid in his head with a gun, whichj^e discovered until after the officers left, ultba?flklr. Hill had been hand culled an hour -ha^^Vne was released, and, therefore could nS^^pibly have been able to wipo away the blood?purposely refrained from saying anything ajpoqt-it. as we thought it would not bear criticism. Why, one man told us that Mr. Hill's head" is badly cut and bled profusely. The filers, according to our way of thinking, the Citizens of Ilogansvillc Township?at least those engaged in the affair?have not been benefitted by lUMcouimuuicntion in the Herald. On the contrary*.we believe it has done t'licm some harm, and we arc not very often wrong about IIH'll It is our candid oniuien?a nil \v?k gffV^pr \vTn?rmay if Tie" ffonlmlCl'CU wfl'rthTy" ' "Citizen# of Uopansville"?tlierc has bocu mere saiii tlinn was prudent about it, and said, too, by tbc party in most danger. In such cases, "the least said, the sooner ended" is the be.-t motto. ? Our neighbor of the llcrald last week did us injustice by first publishing only one of the reports we gave and also in assuming that we obtained that report from an eye witness. - - - - ? A Molancholy Accident. A correspondent living at Goshen Hill, sends us the following account of a very sad accident which occurred in that neighborhood on Thursday, the 3d of this month. "Frank Lee, youngest son of Mr. Jonathan Lee, aged about l'J years, went to Mill for a load of flour. When he got,to Flint Hill?which is very steep?on his way home, Mr. Samuel Ducketwas in the wagon, proposed to "lock the wheels," but Frank said it was not necessary, and drove on. The "ofT" horse refused to hold back, the saddle mule became unruly and threw Frank, when the team broke and ran off*. Mr. Ducket jumped out as soon as he could and stopped the team. He then went hack to Frank, who was still lying upon the ground. At first it was supposed the wagon wheels had passed over him, and inflicted serious internal injuries. He was taken home and lived in great agony until the following Ihursday?just one week. A careful examination after his death revealed the sad fact that his back bone bad been broken, cilher by the fall from tho mule or by the wheels of the wagon passing over him. There were no bruises upon his body." ? ?

While such advantages of acquiring knowledge cheaply are afforded there seems little necessity for taxing nn impoverished people to keep up a State University, and still less to build another. % We are pleased to sce^ou nr^ikmn Hp'ffnth'nt enrso to the planter, the lien law.

It wits my pleasant lot to spend a night at the former residence of thnt eminently worthy, patriotic and christian gentleman, Col. Jatucs Jefferies, deceased.

Captain Jefferies is a practical planter; his plantations yield annually about 200 hales cotton, with corn, wheat and onts enough for home consumption. Cold and weary, I was "taken in" by that staunch citizen and genial friend, William F. Eison, Esq. I like to be so "taken in" under such circumstances?tnken to a country fire and a dinner, such as editors enjoy and lovo to write nbout. Mrs. E'S., pure wine, made by herself out of grapes grown on the premises, surely is equal to that of which good old Noah so freely drank. Mr. Eison presents a rare case. His former slaves remain with him. Sensible negroes.? Their old "master" is their best earthly friend. They occupy neat white-washed cottages, have their corn cribs, fodder stacks, smoke houses, buggies, &c., Mr. Kison warmly advocates the erection of a monument over the brave (Jen. Uadberry.

After firing this mass they locked up within the house an infant and a little child to perish upon tho funeral pyre of the murdered parents, and the sum of tlieir fiendishness was complete.?
