Tu nesumin?, us be does with the oro i "Cd sent issue, the editorial management of tho "OuANaEBUiio News," the undcr aigncd, beforo lapsing into the moro dignified and distant style whioh is here after to govern his couvcrse with its readers, avails himself of n pleasant cos !)4i) '?.Iii I . ... i.'- I, torn, to cbat with tucui for a few mo nicuts, in friendly aud easy fashion, ; concerning his editorial intentions and the views which lio is hereafter pub licly to advocate. ' In tho first p'acc, it is bis intention i)*~s '.-"."tt inly I ; ?" ' ? - to male the ''News" a thoroughly live newspaper iu every respect,?savo the obituury notices. It will, be origiual, liberal, earnest and charitable. It will demand and exercise the right to ex press its views fervently and emphati cally, yet with due regard to the claims of courtesy and the laws of the land? yielding and admitting to o there the same right, willingly, and as of equal right. It will contain occisiouul well-con sidered and timely articles upon impor tant questions arising under the Home stead aud Exemption laws, in regard to Licus ou Crops, Planting Leases and the best mode of cuforcing them, aud other legal subjects of vital interest to every citizen of our County aud State. Recognizing that the farmers arc the very foundation of'our country's pros ' pcrity?iu fact, that without them we could uqt lire at all, the "Nzws" will always have something to say concern their particular avocation aud intcrcots; copied generally- from some leading Ag ricultural jouru.il (for as to his per sonal knowledge of such mutters the ? . i i. i.i .i ?? ? editor frankly admits that he cannot tell u bushel of rye from a pock of win ter wheat?except by tho sizo of the measures.) Aud as farmers, now-a-days, , cannot generally ufTord to take more thau one news-paper (which ought, for the very name's sake at least, to con tain sonic news?) and that one must, horcabouts, bo tho "Ouangebuuo News," tho most important news of eaoh ?week will be condensed for its columns, down to the latest poaaible date before publication. Recognizing further that tho ladies, both old (bless them !) and youog (God bless them.' !) are alfeo an important part of the community, whose good will it is most desirable to obtain and* to secure, the "News" will from time to timo contain such delightful items auent the Fashions, "Tho latest thing out" (which it is sincerely hoped will never 1 bo one of their husbands) and other charming and delectable tritllea, 08 will cause it to bo a welcome . isitor to every household in the County where "womans will has wouiaus winning way." Then as to politics. Well. wl'cn the colored man insist* that ho was a great deal happier and better off as a slave than as a free man ; when people give up travelling ou raiiio-?J* " -'??*" boats, and prefer to go from Charleston to New York iu a feailiug vessel, or from Orangcburg to Charleston on mule back; when business men, iu a great hurry, think the Atlantic cable too fast, aud prefer to send important dispatches to Europe in three weeks by the old way rather than iu three seconds by the new way; then tho "Ouanoeburo News" n\ay turn out to be a souud idd Democratic newspaper. Uutil then, however, it will be staunchly, hoarlily, boldly Rcpublicau ! UutU then, or until the M'iilcnium,?? but in the-Millenium we shall all Lvi Re publicans.

"So^ ia the email fox, but their spreading does uut argue that thoy are elfticr helithy dagrable.''?Demo cratic Laecharge. 1'rcractly ; but it U a proof that how crer much Republicpoisni resembles small pox, the people consider it more ''healthy and desirable" thau Democra cy. It's tery certain that Dcmooracy doesn't "spread" much at present. O ?i ? ? Some months ago, in rcicrriug to this pubject, vre said that if a butter man for the Prcsideucy thau Gen. Giant could be found, be ought to te biought out. and that he would doubt'ess be elected. This opinion is most probably shaved by Gen. Grant himself?he did not seek, his present office in tho first place, and it is not at all likely that he will make any great effort to hold it. But down to the present moment, wo have not heard of a moro promising candidate. Many men hare been ''named," but they arc not the men who arc likely to be pr.cforr.ed to Gon. Graut. Mr. Oree Icy's "claims" are not generally regar ded with much favor; ho is a great jour ualh-t, but a o iscrably poor politician! In tho President's office ho would be likely to make as much havoc as the tra ditional bull in the <'h in a shop. Mr. Greeley is the most promiueut outside candidate yet named on the Republican side ? for that great and injured man, Curl Schurz, is uuluokily ineligi ble, owing to a defect in the Constitution which' tho World kindly proposes to rectify. It seems to be generally as sumed that tho time has not ar rived when the couutry can with safety be turned over to the Democrats. They had tbe greatest city in the Uuiou to manage, and the mode in which they exhibited their plau of government is two well known to need much descrip tion. People are not prepared to see the Democratic system of Government in New' York extended to the whole country, aiid a line of "Bosses" installed' iu the White Housr. There oan be no doubt that the Douiocrats arc at this mo ment largely assisted by the dissensions of Republicans. Tho articles against tho Administration in Democratic paper? arc Very watery things compared with the articles iu the Tribune, Springfield Itrjutblican, and some other papers. Hut Republicans will, perhaps, grow tired in time of manufacturing ammuni tion for Democratic guns; aud if they do not, it s'giitfiea vctyr little, bacausc^waJ have always the people to fall back upon. Much importance may be at tached by BOtno to the fact thnt so old a Republican as Mr. Grcoley should deidec against the rcnotniuatiou of the strong est leader the Republicans have?but it is a consolation to reflect that Mr. Grco ley, though a man of -.real experience, is not infallible. Mr. Grcoley opposed the renomination of Mr. Liucolu?but somehow it befell that Mr. Lincoln was re-elected. History has a kuack of re peating itself, and if Mr. Greeley's pre dictions- should : urn uut to be no nearer the mark now than they were iu 1861, no one but himself would be greatly as tonished.?X. K, Times. The apportionment bill recently posscd by Congress, which is now before the President lor his signature is virtually the same that was first passed iu the House before tho holidays. It provides Ibr 283 members to the next House of Representatives, an iucreasc of lorty over the present House, and fixes the ratio of representation at about one hun dred aud thirty-seven thousand. This will give five Representatives to this Stuto, instead of four a* ut present,, and will nccosBitatc the re-districting of ther State befcre the adjourntucut of the pre sent Legislature. Several bills have already been intro duced, looking to this end. but nono of than seem to possess suffieicut merit to command the ultentioti of cither House. Unless tue State is rc-uistncied bet?re the adjournment of the Legislature, it will be necessary to elect a Congress man at large, as is now doue iu Illinois This position is an unpleasant one, as the person filling it, really represents no one iu particular, or any spocial locality. He has only a negative voice iu reooni mendatiou for office, and is constantly interfering with some other member, iu whatever he may attempt to do for his State. Thero is ample time for this work to be done before the 10th of February, at which time wc hope the Legislature in tends to adjourn. This new appointment will give this State two additional members iu the National Convention to nominate Presi dent aud Vice-President, making tho number fourteen instead of twelve.? Co lumbia Union.

Evidence has been .found to bo in existence that, instead of being born iu Kentucky, a*^ has always been supposed, aud as he has always asserted, he was really born in Massachusetts, and, therefore, instead of being a pure-blooded son of Southern chivalry, bo is only a Massachusetts Yankee. La n man's "Dictionary of Congress" puts Davis down indefinitely as having been born in Christian county, Kentucky, in 1808. Persons who claim to be well informed say that "Jeff." wee born iu old Stockbridge, Massachusetts In 1808,, and removed to Kentucky with his father when a small ehild His father i- said to have been n wheel wright by trado, nnd the bouse where he lived ou one side of the road and the shop where he worked on the other side are well remembered by liviug witnesses After all. tbo illustrious rebel comes from'plebeian stook.?
