WINiIsBORO. Thursday Morning, November 16,1866. C ;Or T. P. Si.imK, Esq., is the sole agent for this paper in Charleston S. C. (^r Mr. JAS. II. S:?wrii, formerly of this 'i;ace, but now residiig in Charlotte, N. C. is our authorized agent for the Nt:ws. Mr. SmITu can be found at the Times office. Help ! Help I Such is the cry coming from various parts of the State. And "help" for what ? Why, for the relief of debt ors. It really smacks of childishness, to apply a very mild term, this appeal to the Legislature for relief as be tween debtor and creditor. Any debtor who shows a determination to do every thing in his power to pay his debts, will find more relief ffon that very creditor, between whom and him self he wapts the State to interpose, than from all that can be done by Leg islation. The same rule will not apply t> any two debtors, for one can pay all his debts, ano- her half of his debts, an other one-fourth of his, and so on. Now if the Legislature interpose, it will pass a general act equally apptli cable to all cases. We venture the assertion that there is not a man in the State who will not be benefited more by a non-interference oa t e part of -tie State than by any act ion of it looking to an adjustment of private indebtedness. The fact is, the creditor who has large claims upon others is not disposed to flush thm-n to the wall for a final settle ment, for the simple fact that he does not care to imitate the fool in the fa ble who destroyed the feathered gold n ine. The Cotton Market. The heavy and sudden decline in the.New York cotton market has do pressed cotton buyers considerably. Some are disposed to attribute this fall in cotton prices to a discovery tihat cotton was bringing too much. Others again think that there has been a v uch larger crop made' than was at first supposed. Whatevtsr the cAuse, whether either of time above, or the control which speculators have of the whole cotton trade, it is certain that great doubt exists as to what will be the upshot of this decline. It ap pears reasonably certain that cotton cannot go down much more. But even if it should go down to twenty-five cents per pound, it will prove suffi ciently ronmutierati-e to induce every farmer and planter to cultivate it. The number of manufactories now building and in contemplation throughout the Southern States wifll, whmen in operation, give a wholesome iimpetus to the price of cotton. An Ominous Announoement, I It is publicly announced that the mioney detectives of the Government arec unab,le to distinguish some of the :ouniterfe it bills now in circtilation, from the genuine. Tlhis is unfortu nate for a Govermnient that extends over so vast a territory ais ours. Every genuine bill may now be duplieated with a counterfeit one, and thus double the already enormous amount of GIovernment liabilities. This may eventually lead to a financial crash without a parallel in the history of tinanciecr ing. A Quiok Trip. One of our citizens who has recent ly gone to Ne w York Writes thence that lie made the trip from this place i n about 39 hours.. Thme revenue commissionL esti mate that over 42,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits, 186,000,000 gallons of fermented Iieruors, sied 10,000,000 gallons of imported liquors are annu ally consumed in this country, cost ing $500,000,000. The Governnrent cne derived from the liquor busi es aLi simated at ik473d8.276 ar Eevitdl of a HiAtbtil fies.. The La crosse (Wlsconsio> bernocra revives the fact that on the 22d o April, 1862, Mr. C. L. Vallagdi gapv addressed a letter to the .midc4 evo lent, humane, martyred Aptaham Lin coln, inclosing an artle hovii the Wheeb ing (Virginia) Intelligencesr, which ad vocated the assassination of him (Mr Vallandigham), It was copied with approval into the Cleveland (Ohio Leader. 'he editors of bdth the QpN were postmasters under Mr. Lineola Mr. Vallandigham suggested that the latter remove from uflice those wh< ttus incited murder - of pdlitical oppo nouts. Mir.' Iincoln paid no attentior to the request, but conturued to give them his patronage. Three years after, in the same month, he himself fell by the hand of an assassin-a victim to the instrumentality that ho had been invok. ed in vain to discountenance by a with drawal of his suppiort. Here is the cor respondence alluded to: IIousE OF REPRE:=RNTATTYES, WASuINOTON, D. C., April 12, 1862. 7o the lon. A>raltam Lincoln, Presi dent of the United States: S1t: I enclose you an article which appeared originally in the Wheeling Intellsgender and was copiid into the Cleveland Leater with approbation. It is an open and direct intithtiorn to as sassination. It r.eeds no comnieut and ad mits of no explanation. The editor of the Intelligencer and the editor of the T,cealer both holWt responsibe oAces under your. administration, the one be ing postmaster at. Cleveland. Confident that you must look with horror u,or any attempt tr, introdi-'e or to iucite to a system of assassi,tation for differences of political opinions, or even for politi cal offences in this c untry, and desire no assassins or niders or abettors of assassmts in office under youv, I degnm it only necessary to sub-xiit 'the article to your consideration. Very respectfully, C. L. VALLANDIOItAit. VAIL.AND1aGHAU.---The Wheeling Intelligencer says of the Ohio traitor that it is a wonder that this traitor is tolera ted on the face of the earth, much more tnab hn ii allowed to sit in Congress like Cataline in the Roman Senate, plot ting all sorts of devilish hindrances ani uriderhanded stabs to the struggle of our national existence. It is a wonder some Charlotte Corday, b.-reft of a bro" sher, has not met hini coming ont of his bath, as Danton was niet. It is a wdn'. der some Orsivi, bereft of-a son, has not waited in the crowd f.r. him. It is a wondfer that some society of Carbonari, hereft of a countty, have not enfoiled him. Brt;tus slew a man for treason in the capitol, whose lowest, characteristics would enoble Vallandigham.
