THE FAIRFIED HERALD. WINNSBORO, 8. c. Wodnuesday Morning, Pob, 26 t 1808. Imsportes, Williamsin & Co., Props. Elitorial Correspoudence, No. I. PA a Nrws : (On 'Tuiesday l:igt, when. old Sol was desconding to the point of hid ing behind tho Western horizon, we left Winnms'boro (or a jant. Of course old y "Smhik's Mare" could be secured on which to make the trip. And so the start was made. Onl I i first day, five miles were inade ; on the second, about severlI lhalts were ma11de. 1However, tl, house of a friend was reached, near obl Leb-anoti Church, anid lere we are still. Our first Iight's rest was at. our old Triend's Mr, John Weldon, who knows how to make one foci at h1om1e. We talked to him of Billy Sher Inanm's property-seekers, alnd found( that likosthe lion, or rather the devil, when that pack of Wolves got to his place, they sought what they could de your, and took great pains th make great "devouir." They broke locks, although the blolt s had Ien opened for thein. I'hey curseo the lit'tle children, al tore their dresses iy to make potatoe bags of. BhIt it wn114 regnire more pace than we can now affird to spare for it, to tell all the 1neCa11neOss of those thieves anfid r >boers. Our old friend J. W., however is With us in one important itmi : anl that is the necessity of an ho1dependl oit style of farming in on1 r District. And that, is, to plant. eningh of provi .i)-1 to seenlre tle people aga inst tle necessity of bnlvI" a ir corn from outside the District. lIe says, as other.4 have said, that IIt iimre iorn will never fatten stock, simply be cause. it is stintedly given. A l :1hls. that when he has to buy corn, even 'the chickens seem to thrive not so wvell. On Wednesday morning, our young friend, Jos. Kennedy, a elose neighhor of.d. W., kindly gave us : relief for '.;huanik's Mare," and imnauulilg us oul his fine "Pet,''as he calls his an imial, piloted usx through the fiels, by a 'ar route to r. .Jame Te rnm' .'. I that rontev wt were poiited to) a placevl e lIe Iie remains of one of Sherinan's bumirs, just, by the edge .of a gully, and miiar'kel by a hoard with rhe followinlg inscription well put oil, viv: \Yu. ii. llirmultor'd, "Died Felhary 21.st, 185."

'Ther'e we found visible evidecesx that all thle 1oederals who had fund gra ves in the South I, dlid so ' i an imholy us. i'. To'riner's house was set fire to, just in thle entraiince of' the f'ron, d.ioor'.

It. appecars t hat, the olicers who or deredl an extingu ishmeunt if the Iirie, were those of a certamin .stalf who wish -nd ith their t ener'al to spend the night in comfortable oquartet-s.
