The cotton was shipped under dock, which leads to the inferenee that the vessel on which it was shipped has probably become a wreck.- Charlc.. lon Courier. WINNSBORO1 I iWednesday Morning, Dee, 11, 1872. T. ROSS ROBERTSON, Editor. g&-" Correspoidence solicited t'on evcry section or the country. Our colimtins are open to nil ror a frec illscussion of' any principle, theory or ite, htI we are in no waty responsible for ihe viewN or opinions of correspontdents Fence Laws-A Much Needed Provision. One:of the greatest evils, from whicb our people have siffered since the war, has been the absence of whole soine and wise legislation upon the subject of fences, a matter of vital importance, not only to agricultural. ists, but to communities generally especially so under our present sys tom of labor, and the changes accom panying it. Wo are essentially an agricultural people, and it is the part of wisdom to shal e our h to meet the requireniu i aif 4.. 1 ;...t h m n ua promote its success. Every safe guard aid protection should be thrown around it, and all its wants and necessities satisfied. It is the most honored of all callings, and should be fostered and cherished, not only by the citizen, but by the government, as it is preeminently the chief source from uhich spring the wealth and prosperity of a nation.' The tillage of the soil precludes the successful operation of other pro fessions within its domain, that are in anyways antagonistic to it. To yield its legitimate fruits, it must re main untrammelled and unfettered, and its distinctive characteristics must bo preserved. EFvery provision of nature and discovery of ucienco that contributes to its success should be treasuredl up, and appropriately utilized. It is an institution whose origin dates from the earliest anti rjuity, and amidst all the ravages of time, and for more than fifty centn rics, it has withstood the decay nat ural to things earthly, and still exists as a living maonument of the glory of muau, and the wisdom of God. Upon the hunman race devolves the solemn duty to perpetuate it, and to trans mit through all ages in its purity, and to maintain It until time shall be no more. With this tributa to agricul ture, as the noblest of men's voca tions, we revert to our own original subject, Fence Laws, and are gratified to be able to lay before our readers as copied below, the Anain features of u lHill now before the General As. tombly for its consideration sod ac ion. We present merely an abstract >f its text, as follows: Sootionl1. TJhat (in any County of his State which shall adopt the pro, nisions of this Act in the manner ereinaftor speified, the boundary ino of each lot or tract of land in aid county shall constitute a lawful ence. See. 2. It shall not he lawfuil for lie owner or manager of any horses, ules, sheep, goats, swine or nieat attle of any description, to permit aid animal to run at large beyond the wits of their own lands. See. 3. Makes owners ofanobt cattle iuble for all damanges (lone to crops a trespass by st ray outtl e. See. 4. P'rescribes the mianner of btaining redress for anly trespass, 'hich is by proceedings before a trial istice. Sec. 5. Provides that, in order to lye the various counties iu this State 30 opportunity to accept or rcject te benefit of this Act, it is made the uty of the Comnmissionors of Eheo. on for each county in the 8tate to ibuuit the samne to the voters of the ime on the ..... da ofana.ys[ 1873, f# bqO~ifh 0pion or rejeotion, h 'he latt ~otip ia the only on04o *4 which any Osible objection can be v ,raIfed, inasmtuch'as it strips the pro- ' bosjed eietf0itotiall positiveness of t character by Iihking its force and t( operation dependent upon the wiehos at o0 tegeto Qf th varions Counties p in the State, The general provisions @ of the bill. meet. with our hearty ap., proval, and should commend it to the 1 favor of the pie~dJc at large. - The c benefits th't will ocerne to all see it tions of the Stnte, frib, the passage o of such an Act as' the above, and its , Subsequent adoption by the whole t people, will be innumerable, and of a C most substantiaI kind. The working of such a law is eabily understood, and p the humblest farmer in our country e can lappreciate its advantages and a conveniouces. It can't be donied but a that fenoing is the moit expensive l item on a farm, where it is required, a a fact that constitutes a strong arg'u- 1 ment in favor of a "no-fence" law. v It has been also demonstrated that the v destruction of forests nec.essary for a the maintenance of fenoes, has a mno.,t v docieed tendency to diminish the , quantity of rain-fall. This tcientifie c truth should hav e great weight in sup- s port of the principle that "the bounda- l, ry line of each lot or tract of land shall constitute a lawful fence." An enor. mous amount. of timber is required , to keep good fences even on an ordi nary sized plantation, and as the de. 1 mand is steadily increasing, continual a attacks arc mado upon our forests to supply it, and thus it will go on from year to year, unless cliecked, until the whole face of the land will have the appearance of a vast prairie, be. reft of its beauty, and at the mercy of a parchiirg sun. Consideratioiq, such as these, .hould awaken our far mers to a realization of the stern no- I cessity for proper legislatiou inl th ie matter of fences, and should influence our legislator.q to use all speCd in af. t fording the agriciltural interests the t relief of which they stand in sueh ur gent need. No subject of greater im. port can at present be agitated. The t whole country is intere'ted in it, anmd a are lookiig anxiously for legi.lative action up.n it. In conclusion we take the posit ion that a "no-fence" law is necessiry for the success of agricilture in all its branches, as now practiced in this, Z. .. tu en . visions will reach the rich. aid poor alike, the white farmer aa we!l as tho blaok, and all will cnjoy the hippy cbange wrought by it. May we not hi(.e then that oar Gecral Assi.nblv, in the plontitude of its wisdow, will be. stow due attention upon t1.:1, Momlen, L tous suilject, divest itself of selfishi considorations, and grant to thie land O~wners of the Stato so prtcious a boon as the enactment of a "r e-.fenc'' law.

For the neo in years his career was a series c ruggles, whether as journeyma rintor or as editor of various joui ala, biob proved unprofitable, an 'hoso exibtOnce was short lived. I 441 he commenced the publicatie f tLe Now York Tribune, of whic may be said during the thirty yeai r its existence no American jourme as acquired a larger European repu ition, or wieldcd more power on th mntiient. "The best tribute that could 1 aid to his purity of character, to ti )urseo which since the war he has pu aed, and to the po.ition which he l tained in the judgment of his fe )w.citizens, is the fact that, althoug Republican, he was selected by ti cmocratic party in National Coi ehtion assenbled, to represent ti ital truths of amnesty, restoratic id complete concord, in the late cai ass.

WVe pass this slander by, simply r. arking that the base imputatic dis harmless at the feet of those it 'tended to affect.

We will say thi uch, that we wrill freely accord t .av.

This is the way the Mobile Regis tolls it :"A negro woman ox listo Island, thme other day, atte mpt to light lher pipe in a gin- house d burned up $40,000 worth of truck e negroes employed in the gin. use, who, before the war, were wortl If as much more, barelesaped.' Progress of lormonism. The subject of Mormonism is dis. N oussed by the London Daily News, d which notes the foot that appearances :t show that it is flourishiog. It was ,f predicted that the opening of the Pacific Railway wotild be immediato. ly followed by the collapse of the blormou systen, seeing that railway d communications corrupt good Mor mono. The discovery and working of the silver mines of Utah was next thought to be fatal to Brigham and b his followers. Internal dissensions, ,a coupled with legal prosecutions, were 1 finally regarded as the forerunners of the dissolution of the Mormon organi zation. Yet no one of these inila. enees has had the anticipated results. The Saints are still potent and pros e peruus in the valley of the great Salt e Lake. They send out missionaries and gain proaelytes. No loss than 600 blormons have just embarked a from Liverpool on their way to the - earthly Zion among the Rocky h Alountains. Norway, Sweden and e Denmark furnish one-half of the re . cruits, England, Scotland, and Wales the other half. Some are young and some are old, the infant at the breast n being seen in company with the octo . genarian. These facts may be dis e tasteful to many persons ; neverthe less they are facts, and they admit of an explanation. What gives to Mormonism its vitali d tyand power is the circumstance that )s converts not only ombruce a ne w for in -e of religion, but are provided with a new mannerof life. While they are assured that in their personis the promises of Scriptuie a-c to receive ie a marvelous fulfiluient, they are in. M formed thrt for all devout Mormons, farms are provided. A two-foltl ap peal is made to them ; their religious y tastes are gratified, and their longing .e for acomfo.ta ble boime is gratified alko. )f Heaven is promised thei hereafter 3 and a house and garden here below. k For the tim, being nothing is maid about additional wives ; polygavmvy . having become a doctrine rather than is a practice.
