Weep sot vor tiuly,?mo common Register is still harpingon "the gallant Hugh L. Farley," and indulged yesterday in the following outburst of hysterical sentiment: "The Sttt'c is full of men of military oxpcvience who have gone through the whole war. Many of tlicm occupy prominenr positions in the militia which they have been helping -o keep up for years. Among thorn the prc-ent Adjutant General can be numbered. No matter how promising lie may be, is it not an outrage to put a boy 21 years < f age, who has never rendered any services to t he State whatever, in the militia or out ofi t, except as a beneficiary of the Citadel Academy, over veterans of the militia and army ?" If public sentiment in South Carolina had rctured to its normal condition and if other things were cqua', we should say that it wouiu ue ,-an outrage 10 put a ooy -i years of nge over veterans of the militia and orojy," but ne have high authority for saying that gratitude does uot prompt a "business bused on kindness and charity," and it will bo ontirely in keeping with the policy of the new xe^inje if the ly, such a disposition of Farley, hara though it might bo on Farley, would not be near so much of on outrage as was the shameful elovation of Senator Irby?a young man 30 years of age. who had rendered no service to the State in war and nono in peace, save the service of dividing the white people of South Carolina?over that greatest of all veterans, Wate Hampton. Nor would the elevation of young Dixon over the griziled ami battle-scarred Farley he half so much of a:: outrage as was the elovation of B. R. Tillman to the office of Governor over tlio genial, gallant, lion-hearted John Bratton. The Remitter did not shod any tears over Wade llnmptoa's defeat. It did not protest when John Bratton was ordered to the icar. It should not ge into hysterics over the hard fate reserved for the gallant Farley. The "old soldier argument" has lost its etrcct in South Carolina. In his spcccli at Aiken during the campaign of lX'JO the present master of the Register,' Governor Tillman, declared the poiicy of those whom he represented towards the old soldiers. "If there were those," said lie, "that though that the men who rode with Lee and Jackson should be_ kept forward forever, there were r>?lier? The Register e lion Id cease to weep for the gallant Farley. Ho will find good compauy in his retirement.

K careful estimate regarding the number of silled and wounded throughout the State, he result of the wind's havoc, makes it ' learly 100 and between 200 and 300 injured, t n.c reports in are : South Haven, 8 dead and !2 wounded; Wellington, 4 dead and 23 njured ; on farms between these two towns, > dead and 8 iojured ; Towando, 17 dead ] md 45 wounded ; Augusta. 7 dead and 10 ^ vounded ; Homestead, 5 dead and 7 injurd; Strong City, 2 dead and 8 wonnded * ?

They have tried and trustid him in the most trying and critical times if their distance, and ho has never disapminted or deceived them. Such aycophantie lemagogism from a subordinate, pluialy inended to tickle the fancy of a superioroffler, is too transparent to produce any feeling lutthatof disgust in the minds of all true oen who know all the parties : The Columbia correspondent of the Tilloan organ of'Mwrlon refers to Jndge Walaee as "the arrogant usurper, the Judge lefferics of Sonlh CurolinaThis eorreslondent is understood to be Chief Clerk lorton, of ?lie Comptroller-General's office, ikewise a member of Iho House of Repeseutotives. What do the people think f this characterization of a pure and up ightjudge??The State %ll this grows out of Judge Wallace's couLruiug the law removing Supervisors of legistration, contrary to Qov. Tillman's onelruction. If Judge Wallace is "an rrognnt usurper, the Judge JefTeries of outh Carolina," by parity of reasoning, all lie Judges upon the Supreme and Circuit enches of the State are arrogant usurpers, >r they fully endorse Judge Wallace's deision. It has got to a pretty pass, when II the Judges of the State are denounced >r construing a law contrary to the wish or pinion of a Governor, who is in no sense, a .wyer.

Mr. Epitok.?Farmers have gen orally availed themselves of the propitieus seasons and we are glad to report farm work in good shape. Most every one has an eye to plenty of bread, peas, potatoes, etc. Sorghum is receiving more than ordinary attention. The fellow that don't make his farm selfsupporting now, had better sell out and make room for some one who will. One of the most pitiable looking sights imaginable is a farmer going from house to house begging the merchant to take a lien on his crop, or a mortgage on ad ho has, to secure himself in advancing the farmer (exouse me, not a farmer, only a planter) the bread and meat lie should make in abundance on his own fnrin. This year's experience will be a lasting lesson for a great many and will prova a blessing in disguise to those who arc having the bitter pilis to swallow. You would bs surprise 1 to know how chesply some psopls ctn live when necessity compels them. In my humble judgment, tlie first thing the farmer should do is to stop his washes, terrace his lends and rec'airn his worn out soils. David Dickson said it would not pay to work poor land. lis never told a biggor truth. It is the folly cf follies to allow the rich top soil to wssli ofT, with every rain that comes, into the beds of creeks and rivers. Now, let 1110 tell you one of the country's greatest needs : It is education for the masses. Wo want better country schools, and how arc we to get them ? More money is the next thing, and where is it to come from ? Gov. Tillman's ideas were clear on the school questiou. "Fewer echools and better ones." Miss Katie Moorhend has a very interesting school at Mt Tahor, and the little bright eyes aro getting along nicely in their studies. J or.. ? .- - ? Correspondence of the Union Timxs.

For the Times. Mr. Editok : After reading the repot t of the recent convention, and your comments, one over-credulous jtuight come to the conclusion that the whole proceeding* are such that everybody would fall into lino and bo carried along by some secrot irresisiib'c f-irce. But things are not always what they seem to be. The fact that the convention was originated by 13 men, enemies to Tillman, unfriendly towards the furrueis movement, is sufficient to create distrust in the minds of the laboring o asses. We are still sore ftiitl chafing under Jlho ridicule, abuse and contempt heaped upon us two years ago, and that too, by the same party who now arrogate to themselves the privilege of , m thay pl*M* whether it be democratic or not. Had the counsel of General Earle. Tillman's magnanimous patriotic opponent two years ago, been heeded, the conronton would not hare been hold, n?r the bitter warfare against Tillman's administration been waged, llut time will prove the wisdom of Gen. ivtrlc's advice. We arc satisfied that the ultimate object of this advance roovcmont is to create disaffection in the Farme>s' Alliarca by alluring as many of its members into it as possible, and by dint of perseverance, fiuaily kill it out. But the 'party that thinks the farmers movement will down st its bidding, doos not comprehend its strength and determination. 1 atn sorry to state that on the streets of Union the other day, one of the Anti-Tilluian big gUDS opened fire upon your correspondent with third parly canister. So far ns State politics are concerted I think I sin as far from tlio fold of the third party as any man in your town. It appears you furnished ' l ho omunition injyour coamwt, up.? 1 1 ^ feeling held in Gross Keys a few days agk. also see in the Tints, the Spartanburg llcrald had been misinformed that a sub Alliance in Union County had gone over to the third party. Now, Mr. Editor, while your comment upon the mass meeting in Cross Keys and criticism of the St. Louis convention is partly interrogatory, yet it has mado a falso impression, and done injustice to Sednlia Alhande. In the first place the meeting was not an act of the allinnoe. The order wui not in session. The lecture was spoken to a mixed audience. The mass meeting was participated in by the same audience, as was plainly shown in the report. Why yon should so fi-Aiue your language that u false impression might bo made upon your readers, 1 cannot conceive. You profess to bo a friend to the firmer and yet you oppose his effort to free himself from that bondage sad serfdom being gradually fastened upon him by monopolies, corporations and gold bugs; controlling and manipulating the legislative department of our government in their interest, to the inpav?*"W???"i ?r *? - . "" ? laboring classes. Jn your critioism of the St. Louis convention, you have exhibited a greater amount of ignorance of ils magnitude its material, and the mighty power behind it than 1 am willing to give you credit for. You have certainly allowed your prejud'ee agUurt tho reform movement to pervert and bcloud vour iudcrment. "A ftto ilismnifiit.il ilitinrl. ing political aspirants, indeed !
