One of these issues, and peihaps the one that was fought with the most bitterness and excited the most enthusiasm, was whether I shoult be returned to my homo in ihlgefie'd with the stigma of the disgrace upon me that 1 was an unworthy and unfit publio sorvant, or whether I should receive the plaudits of this people as having tried t? do my duty. The efforts put forth by those who bplievcd that I was unfit to govern this State were perhaps worthy of more success, because they certainly fought me with all the ardor, enthusiasm and vigor of men engaged in a patriotic undertaking, lint I am not here to stigmatize their motives. I am here ready to acknowledge that there are good men on he h tides, patriots on both sides, and Jbat thoso who fought the Farmers' Movement aud reiorus in State affairs made their fight on what they belieVed to be their duty. All I now ask litem is that tlioy shall believe an l admit that we were actuated by In sense of duty.

Court Next Week. The October term of Court of General r Sessions and Common Pleas for Union County, will commene next Monday, Judgo T Iz'ar presiding. A number of very impor- t tant cases are upon the Sessions docket, d involving murder, arson and many less t' serious offences, which, if trieJ, will fully ^ occupy the time of the first week. We cxpeet a large number of our aub- b scribers will attend Court, and we know ? that a largo number of lliein are greatly in l' arrears to us ; and we know further, that j, we are gotting ba lly in arrears ourself, for g the want of the money due us by subscrib- ? trs, and we must collect.

Correspondence of the Times. j Kelton Wheel to Spiro- I Kklton, Sept. 20.?Mr. Editor : Permit ne this week to reply to Spiro. I take it for ;rantcd that the pumpkin did not represent i face with one eye punched out, although hat was the information I received. .1 did tot add one word to the incident. As you I mow, Mr. Editor, a correspondent gathers lis news from what he hears, and it is his 1 luty to report it as lie gels it, and not add to * ir take from, unless he sees and knows hat it is not tho truth. If a correspondent vas to make an Investigation of everything io sent to a paper he would have an endless oak. mow nrrnreirftiivwis. *? ??"?'? w*l? mer- ^ vould have (he merchants think thai * ?... ee'h and toe nails against them: but 1 will nforiu them that I have not might against hem. As I have siid before, the mercanile fraternity have treated me like a gentlenan, and I cannot say anything against hem, so far as I mn concerned, but bo long s 1 am a correspondent I feel it my duly to eport what news 1 can gather. So far as "standing to the rack, fodder or io foddev," I meant, like honest men, nod lot to tiicltor, if it took the last thing they ossessed. * Now I will say a little about slanderous eports originating in a certain part of our ^ ount}'. As Spiro was replying to me I take i for granted that he meant that such epoi ts started in tjjc neighborhood of Kelton ^ r that I was the mail who opjgina'ed such ~ lauderous reports. And right here, I will ^ sk Spiro if he meant mc? If he does, he rields a slanderous pen, and I will inform im and all such, thai 1 always try to tell lie truth. He certainly knows whp Kelton fheel is. If he does not, let bim address note to Kelton Wheel, Kehoo, Union ~ ounty, S. C., and he can find out. 1 would ke to jiave a personal introduction to Spiro. * As to the truthfulness of the report mt merchants threatened to close down on j! ie farmers who owe them, I can say that k??t. <U. 1 - * .
