A MiiiNiiiitr OfTttMit:. bust Monday tiijjlit at 2 o'clock a party of unknown persons went to the resilience of President W. II. liardin, of the Churtiw and t'hester llailroul, and cursing fearfully, called for him to come out: Mr. Hardin was nhrcnt from home. Jlcing apprised of the fact, the marauders vented themselves of a volley of horrid oaths, saying they had come to kill him, and although they ha 1 missed him, they would yet have their revenge. They rode into the yard and otherwise committed malicious trespass on the premises. Tailing in their di.iholieul purpose, they dispatched the yard dog. They lircd two shots into the dog's body and (licit left. The invaders were unknown, as was also the cause of their dastardly conduct.

Our Cotton Market. >Vithtftit intending lo excite any unkind compctitioj^in neighboring markets toward us, we feel it Jp bo our duty to the Farmers of Union CountjJo inform them where they can get the most fartliuir cotton ; and in doing so wc slia'l ndlieroSrictly to such facts us we can prove boyom^ dispute. On Thursday or Friday of last week t?v parties went from the neighborhood o* Crjss Koj#fo Spartanburg and sold their cotton for D-80; at tlie same time u party from thnt same neighborhood brought liis cotton to Union and sold it for 10}?1") cents in favor of tlie Union Market. On Monday and Tuesday last about the same difference in favor of Union prevailed, according to the Spartan report and our cotton purchases: .Monday, at Spartanburg '.'J " Union 0l(>' 9-fO Tuesday, at Spartanburg,. t'i Union 9|(" '.'-do With these transactions anil figures before the people we claim that Union t". 1!. is the best market for Union Farmers to sell at ; ami as to fair, honest, straight-forward dealing, we challenge a comparison, in prices, measure, weight and quality, of nifrcli mdisc purchase ! here with purchases made in neighboring markets. We venture the assertion that any cash purchase made at Spartanburg will be duplicated by any merchant in Union, upon the same terms. With the cvtTon fiftrket higher and goods of all kinds fully as cheap at Union II., where is the sense and economy of our Farmers in going anywhere else to sell and buy. Nev7rp.-.per Duns. Many c mplaiu that IMitors do the most dunning of any other class. One reason for the complaint is that everybody sees and reads every IMitoriat <hiu that appears in the papers. Most merchants ihin those they caunnot see personally and convcnienl'y, once a year through the newspapers, with imperative demands for ] ayment, often with a threat to sue, and no complaint is made about H at; that is all lit,lit; those who owe the merchant ought to pay him, is the general cry: but t ho Ml it or who lias from ">00 to loot) litlledcbtsof SJ, some due every week in the year, scattered all over the county, and distributed among as many individuals, not one-tenth of w h >111 he sees more than once a year and one-half of whom he would not know if ho Mot iiivriri in mi.' an t'i'i, uvdi'ics 111c m en i\uv??n nvi that otic-half ilie people never think of paving debts until they arc dunned, in sonic way ; notwithstanding all this, if the Ivlit .r publishes two 'tuns in a year he is tnavkeil down as a dccHo'l bore?an "inveterate dun." Well, gentlemen, wo can't help what y >u say or think of us, we toll all who owe us that we want money audyi.it are the only persons wo have a right to call on for it. In conse<|iionoo of the scarcity of money the past Summer we have been very indulgent, until now we find four fifths of our subscribers are in arrears an ' ?e think it nothing but fair, now that cotton is bringing a decent price, that you should set aside from your first sales the tritling amounts duo us. .?. To Tax Payers. After to-morrow the Treasurer will be in his oflioc at this place, until the dot h of next in mill, to receive the taxes of this county. Wc advise all who possibly can to make payments before the crowd becomes so great?which is usually the ease during a few it" the last days ? that the Treasurer has not time to give receipts for ail. The law makes no allowance for being too late, md t lie Treasurer is e impelled toclo.se hisbm k on he night of the "Mill, sj that the penalty will be id led to all taxes unpaid upon his books at that time. Another important a '.vantage will be jjaine I by early payments: I.ast year 'there ivas great gruuro.mg uoutu use errors cimiiimci hy the Treasurer.

Ei?Ucatki> Aiikoai>.?The nuniberofSouth Caiolina young men who are going abroad to complete their education is a subject well worthy the consideration of the Trustees of the University at their next meeting. The above from the Columbia Iif</intcr suggests to us that while our excellent Governor is calling for Agricultural statistics and statistics of crime in the State, why not call for statistics as to tlie number of young men sent out of the Stale to complete their e locution. It wottUl be valuable information in the discussion of the University question next winter. If each county sends out of the State an equal number with Union, we estimate that not less than 0U1J young Carolinians complete their education in other States?perhaps ninny more. . 9 . . For the Times. A Kind Word from a Valued Source. It is very gratifying to mark a disposition among your readers to report the condition of the crops as well as other matters of common interest, frotu various portiousof the I'ouuty. Unless people take an interest in their County paper it cannot succeed. If the readers of the Ttytes want an interesting paper they must help the editor. Those who can afford to take a daily paper?whose inteuv.-ts require them to keep tin with the times?mav not feel much interest iii ilio local paper, lmt there are a great many who cannot aH'ord to lake a daily?who, in fact, have no use for it?and the County paper is what they want. The farmers throughout the County should report weekly as to the eonuition of the crops and such local ncw.v as may be ill iiiicrcsi. woaiiiiiic 10 kiiow wnai is going on in diU'crent sections of tlio County. l'ut ill ore is yet :i higher view to take of the matter : The County paper is look oil upon abroad as the exponent of lli: tone of character, intelligence mi I culture of it inhabitants. You can't .-hake this oli". l'.ory luember of society is i:i some degree responsible for the stan.liug of liis County paper, au.l if its columns arc it ill I ami uninteresting it follows, of course, that out.-Mers conclude there is a lack of brains, public spirit or County prole among the inhabitants. Union has the reputation of being a ?r >?I fanning County ; its merchants enjoy abroad a reputation for integrity that i-' really enviable Th'>y pay their debts ainl their credit is good.

A Duri. on Foot.?Columbia, September 18. The preliminaries for a hostile meeting between two prominent citizens of Sumter, both members of the Mouse of Representatives, were arranged yesterday. One of the principals was arrested and placed under bond at his home in that county last night. The other, with his second, passed Columbia to-day on his way to Sand liar Ferry. The parties arc Col. J.J. Dargau and Maj . Jos. II. Earle. The last news wo have received from U>c above ... parties is the following, which we find in the Columbia llcgistrr of Wednesday : it was reported in Columbia yesterday that Col. Earle, Col. Dargan and their seconds had reached Rock Mill yesterday and gone across the country and were to fight the same day. It is supposed the meeting took place somewhere in North Carolina, on Tuesday and great anxiety is fell as to the result. ?- ?
