It is not at all probable that any gh Court will be held here in October. fi'i a 1 Thcro's a Truth Out Somewhere. (hi Wednesday last there was a report on our C9 streets that cotton brought 10 cents in Spartan- Th burg lbe day before. A responsible gentleman passing through Spartanburg on Tuesday wrote lb n Kiivim.jvi I,-III.,. I,, ,1 firm in lliis lowii in wliii'll it^ lie started that cjltoii was bringing from 0} to isi in Spartanburg- tlie same price that it th brought here on that day. With tlie exception n? of a fow first days of the season, cotton has a^ brought as much in Union as it has in Spartauburg. Why will farmers mislead their neighbor* by such unfounded reports and Induce 1 I tlieni to travel 20 or SO rtiites to market- when f jH they can do Well, if not better, at home. j n< itton Weight. ?Oar Merchants I were informed a fct*?duys ago that a false td malicious report is lacing circulated through 1 a5 Count j that Cotton weighed upon the Union i ahoe souietitncs loses 15 or 10 pounds. We tin- 1 >si.atinglji*tat? that the Union Cotton Scales 1 o iw -fair as any scales that ever turbanles allowed to leave his Factory, and that lr. James Fant, our Cotton Weigher, not only aows his duty, bat is as honest and conscicu- i otis t tuan in its performance as walks in any irl of the State. If he has any preference it for 'he farmers who bring their Cotton to hiui ? weigh ; but lie has no preference. Knowing is duy he dares to do it faithfully. Besides, e kniw the merchants of this tow* too well to clicvethcro is one among tlicui who would for inomeit countenance so gross a fraud upon ie tamers. They would oust the weigher the louicnt hey suspected liiiu of such a dishonorblc act. \ l.ast year an intelligent farmer made a somebat similar coumlii.ii I mill wniudtftil liim hen lie webhed his < . it'-a at the gin and when e sohl it. |da reply satisfied us?nnd we soon itisticd hiini-how the discrcpeucy arose.

Again, |o open are our Cotton buyers and icrchauts, that, instead of setting the scales" ? allow for the usual "break" of 41bs, the tales aro(balance J the same as those used in the ores, amj (lie 41bs "breakage" is openly{takcn I after the cotton is weighed, so that the l'aricr can s<e the transaction. As we lyve often sail before, the Merchants f the town of Union ate as high-toned, honorL?l? men as can be found anywhere, and some usiness transactions we have known in other iwus would not be tolerated by thorn. W hen person buys of or sells to them he can rest aspired or receiving" UAHClljl tTliaC he'frrrjBtWF ?r. There's no short weights, short measure, r inferior article substituted, to make up for oa$tcd low prices. We know this is not the popular opinion in ic country, but we know it is the truth, and je further know we are only actuated by a sense i justice iu telling what we believe to be the 'nth. That they charged high prices for their leir goods, in lien times we do not deny, but icu^it was a n^utual understanding between hver and seller j and a most astonishing feamnvf r>f llirvuo <..ununni:Ar.a j- W.^v *T?, lli-V riny^uycrs appeared more eager to buy, if on credit, at those high prices, than they arc now t low pi\ees, lot* cash ; uud then many thought was no ^timc to attempt to evade paying for hat tliey purchased?in which a large number <u<? fa l \ ll?0 'k l' t< W > ** nd other unforeseen occurrences, a large titimer were unable to pay at all ; so that the losses mtcrialiy reduced the profits. We don't think our Merchants are as enterrising as some we hear of, who buy cotton at ore tiiau llijy can get for it, and sell goods bew cost. We, however, have reason to believe at even in this they are actuated by the h.(liable desire to keep up their reputation and edit by paying their debts and avoid disas)us failures. t us Ilar^p Town Clock.

It wou't pay to send it to Charleston for wo fiml the market report of tlie same date in that city is more than Jc lower than the editorial prices at Spartanburg. In the Editorial columns cotton, at Spnrtanburg, is quoted as ranging from 9\ to 10.90,? an awful wide range?but in its regular market quotations the same paper of the same date reduces it to 9.1 to 10. At the same time the Charleston quotations of that date arc from 10 to lOiJ.

The circular closes as follows : "On and after the 1st October next, buyers and consumers will claim the right to reject all cotton covered with such bagging, and the expense of picking the bales and re-covering them with sound merchantable bagging, will fall heavily on the planter, who will he tlie only sufferer.

Tlie distress is not merely tlrat of'permits with the fever in their houses.

Into the ranks of tlio poor arc thus thrust tens of thousands of persons who arc not thought of commonly, even us possible subjects of charity. The need is overwhelming, the helplessness appalling, nud in the )rdiuary*courso of nature the cause of all this suffering must continue its activity for five or six weeks yet at the least livery dillarthat pity cau spare is sorely needed, and liberally is good people have everywhere given to the cause, they must give more liberally yet, else ill the horrors of famine will be added to those of pestilence. What is Coming.?The fashion-man of LonlUw'i" rf-tLui.gv ttr-iAmvcinii Wmca^t)u\^ViinrA Will regret should the prophecy come true: I believe there will very soon be quite a change in the shape of dresses. 1 sec a great inclination to quit the closo fitting fourrc&ux cotuincs, and quite expect this autumn to sco cither crinoline again in full glory or some new substitute, as 1 am convinced a complete revolution in costume is comiug. Fashion often jumps from one extreme to the other. It is certainly almost au impossibility to go much further in the present style of tight-fitting costumes ; then, again, tlio short round skirtsare most unbecoming if made close-fitting ; so I am decidedly of the opinion A that dresses will be made very full-skirted and pulled out, Empire style. Ladies that are, as we say, bien failcx, will bo grieved and dismayed at my prediction, but, as compensation, thin or rather "slender" ladies will bo delighted at the idea of the artificial appcudagcs, ct cetera, which the next fashion will bring. Tub Tuadk i.v Dead Bowks.?Cleveland, Ohio, September 22.?The oxcitement over bodysnatching was increased yesterday by the discovery iu the vat of the Homoeopathic College of the remains of Mrs. Atfffclinc Highy of Garrcttsvillc, Ohio, an old and esteemed resident of that place, who died on the 23d of August. The college authorities, hearing of the intended search for the body, had the remains taken to an undertaker's, properly dressed and coffined, and delivered to the friends. The chief members of the faculty were arrested, but released on bail. The case of the college janitor and two tneu, supposed to bo the prime movers in this business, came up in the l'oliee Court yesterday, and was continued until Monday.
