Davis. The report of tlio financial committee waa read and approved, showing the financial resources of the Alliauco to be in good aU?vtft. ITilh ' ? healthy surplus." Ail resoTho body made provision for a fund to be used in tbc propaganda of Alliance Literature; itemized statements for the expenditure of the same to be made to the State Aliaoco. The Alliance concluded its work with routine business to-night. The county trustees of the State Exchange have been in session, and to-day elected a practically new board of directors as follows: G.

Mr. Sligh was chosen ch'iirm^, and Dr. Tiuiiuerinnn was elected Secretary, the previous secretary declining re-election. Senator M. C. Donaldson was rc-clected manager. The change in the perfor.e' of the board of ditcctors is regarded as a victory for those who desired to establish uu Alliauco bank, which it is claimed was obstructed heretofore.

If 8enator Duller had only uttered the follovr:ng | lain and universally aekoowledged truth, in the Butler-Stokes d scutslou at J Prospcr'ty last week, he therein gave the J Southern Farmer more solid truth and , asunder advice than they will ever And in t he < "Another step I would take to the settlement of the "uneveonees" is this: Put ten acres of cotton to the mulo for three years. Let Fanners do this and they will have the world at their feet. They would then bo the most prosperous people on the globe. Aa to not being able to put their products on ilic market at any time is all stuff. There is not an acre of ground in Newberry that cannot make something to sell every month of the year." The Senator might have eaid, moreover, that "10 acros of cotton to the mule" meant an abundance of supplies for the farmers to keep and sell, every month cr week in the year, nuking them independent of the market and of the time of selliag their cotton; more oats as a cash crop to sell in July and August; more corn, more potatoes, more) hogs, more poultry, more eggs, more pasture, more cows, raoro butter,?for all of whicln there is a market every day in the year?and more manure to improve the land, instead of 1 the heavy expense of buying fertilisers that iKe^sbif,' ,v" wfioh 1 Our Southern Farmers may not see it, but it is, nevertheless, a fact, the whole 1 financial and speculating influence of the world, outside the present area of the cotton States of America, is fighting their iotcrrst in the cotton crop, i Encouraged and fostered by the capital of manufacturers and speculators in this country and Europe, with increasing experience iu its cultivation, the cotton crop of Egypt is largely increasing every year, while i lie same influences and means arc successfully employed in extending the cotton g-owing nrcn into other countries of chenp labor and cheap living. With these powerful home and foreign elements pitted agn nst the cotton planters of this country, the time cannot be far off when one-half the present crop of American cotton will so glut ihe markets of rtio world and reduce the prico that our farmers will be driven to J tkm of: ouUWwtiug. other and more profitable crops to obtain money, food supplies antl the other necessaries their farms cannrg pro J nee. No sub-treasury or any other political scheme or metsuro con prevent the increaso of the cotton crop in other countries, nnd the Farmers of this cotton belt may as well prepare for one or two Inevitable results: either starvation priccr f >r large crops of cotton, or prosperity and independence undor small crops of cctfou and good prices, with full crib; of corn, smokehouses well supplied I with honie-ra'sed meat, and some farm pro- 1 duots bringing in money every week or month | in tlie year. , As one of iho best Farmers and strongest i Allinncemrn in this county said to us the other day ; the sub-treasury must be in J every man a farm, to give permanent relief I and make farmers prosperous and Indapcn- j and Goorge B?te?, escaped from Jail, by t Mitchell knocking Sheriff Long down.

Col Duncan says that Superintendent Dodson wilt take action on one matter at nice, which wi'l result in slopping many lelays. For tbo past ihreo yea s there is i place near Union which liss been continually washing cut- i n every occasion and dolayinj rains The down train was stopped there ill ii'ght last night by it.

There is some mistsko in the last paragraph. The ivnsbout therein spoken of baa tause 1 li it very few of the delays which lave oouirred oil the roid the past three rears; and such delays havo only boen for a ew turn's at any lime. Last Friday week here wis a wa-diout at that point, that deaimd the cars about eight hours; hut alnost every delay beforo and sinoe that time ins been caused either by landelides on the Ipananhurg and Asbeville road, or di-asors beyond that point, and all the detentions or tho fast two weeks were from the loss if the Te mostee bridge beyond Ashevilte, rliioh was washed away by the heavy rains.

Wc take the following from tho Cotumbio correspondence of the CSarleston World of Tuesday r A personal eocounter I o1 ween M. F. Tight. Columbia oorrcpondeut ot News end Courier, and N. O. Gonzales, Editor of lbo? Columbia Slatr, oocurrod this afternoon at 0 16 o'cloak. Though it was a bloodless encounter great excitement was created thereby. The encounter was caused by an 6'unrfay News ton, one of the TrwTs a'so intimated that a Columbia moraiog paper was in sympathy with tbe Record and ospeoUIly its criticism ot tho state administration, and that as the Record was run by Republican money and the Columbia morning paper sgred with its polities, the inforenco was that the latter also had Republican influenoe dominating it. Gonzales took it that the reference to tbe morning paper ineint The State, and in an oditorial this morning devoted a column and three quarters to Tigbe, in which ho was spoken of as an idiot and knave. The editorial also made oertaiu exposures in reference to Tighe's trying to aeouro a position on The State staff and promising to take st^ck in the enterprise, which he aferward repudiated. These were the charges. Late this afternoon Tigho wrote ? note to Gcnza'e*, in which, after reviewing the.circumstances of the editorial, he said Got..ales would have to fight or apologise, and gave tho option of seleoii-g the time, placo and manner of fighting. He added that he meant to have. fl&iMwaiFSs Gaudy, who had publicly denounced him. Gonzales a few minutes afterwards walked up Main street and returned wiik W. II. Gibbcs, Jr., towards Tighe's office, which is noarly opposite that of the Stotc. Gonzales had a cowhide in his coat pocked as be walked the street, and all who saw it expected a row. When Gonzales reached the News and Courier offico, Tighe was sitting in front with Geo K. Wright. Ho saw Gonzales and his cowhide, and as Gonzales oaine up without a word Tigho arose and Gonzales pulled his whip. Sheriff llowan was there st tho lime nd seeing a row imminent rushed in between, the men and commanded them to refrain Both men however s'ar:ed towards each other, and Gonza'es hit at Tigho over the sheriff's shoulder, ftriking him over the hat witli his whip. Tighe- made a strike at Gonzales, and notwithstanding the efforts of the Sheriff and others present who attempted to separate them, the men hitched and came to blows. Tigbe struck Gonza'es in tbe face and body several times^aJ^laAulcx liit Tighe, but so dm; men werspuuiHQGtt thsm to sepatate thein that no serious dnmige was done. Several policemen with the mayor came up on the scene and tho men were finally separated, not beforo several epithets had been exchanged while each was held. Mr. Gibb;s became considerably excited dining the contest which lasted four or five minute* and the mayor threatened to arrest him. No arrests have been made and it is probable no further difficulty will ensue. Tii. -i? - au? oil WM "VIC l>nuKcu wiiu people during I and nfler (ho fight aud it has been the sensation of the day.
