'U enusetiJ o' tihis oit pouring of iudigni tion is that a 1Herald oc.rrespondei has been imprisoncd by the Captai General of Cuba. Some time siue the IleraIld, not oentent 1ith the e: ploit.3 cf.

Several y ears ago, tht fart ters c the West, lindhtg tat they wet e beir oppreaied by the R tilroads and othe nobeved tmonotpoliet, coniceived il idea of forming a cj>tubinahion agrienliur istt, ilhnilar to the tra< unliotns and mnercantilo associations s ready existing. This move oesult< in the organization, not two yea ago, in low,, of the first grange of tl order oif Patrons orfi ilsbandry. TIl order arread withI rapidity, and no granges are found in alnmost eve coin tmunity of farmners in twenty-ti States, with an nggregto membc ship of over 1800,000 p'atrons. Th'rongh the notivo exertionls (Coh. D. WVyatt A iken, over a hunr granges htave been established South Carolina. The object of the e der is to rodhuce agrienlture to sciene, and to devehopo strength a11 fieient to resist eneronehmnents fre adverse intecrett. If properly ma aged it will be of groat benefit to ti State. W'ith, us agriculture is far bebi, - he times ; aind the ol(I worn o billa and deep gallies seen ever whlere, attest the folly of the prese dystem. Then too, the farmers ha ut concert of action as to wvagos, men and proportion of different eropa be nlantend. The cnseqnceanis t.hi while some few are prosperiag, many are eking out a scant substano al. ways hard up, and every year hawking their credit around in search of some Werchant who will take a lien on fibnir crop. This lin system is ruin. 'o 0tis. It ii urjust to the fartner) and it just to the mnerobantb Matetial prosperity cox never be ortain tti le-i founded on a cash b ais. . The meichant giving liens, knowe that inny Aill never be paid. To 'insure Min elf from los ie charges an enormous rath of interest upon all alike ; so that those who can put, really carry tatso who c:nnoi,upUn * their shouldero. At the isamie timie theso lospes cut down the merchait's . profits to a moderate amount, e' We believe it in customnaty for ' the morobant to add twenty five per cent. to his cash pi jeo on goods furnibobd on hen, in n other wordo' the fa.-mer borrows money at 'twctity-fiv. per tont. ihter eat, and the poys l'he heigbeNt retail . prices for his bnpp.lies. 'ihis rale is . exuabitant cien to a merchant who 11 is contatltly tuluing his espital oier. h.But, to one illnest iug in tihe Poll, t1nd1 as runnirg th risk of dronglAo, freelteis, worms and ls) field bauds, 7ih no o. opostuuity of icturing hi- crop, it. is d utter ruin. So long as this lien and O or e it % .)S tcu elate, ,O long will our , people renmain g'oor. To abolisu It is ,0 the chief oj et of the Patrons of to llutbandry. They propoa t10 effect thib Cd by (, regulating Iabor and wages; by prv. 4. venting farmers from over cropping J. themselves and running into lditt by S. making arrangements With the trans 1b portution 'compunies for shipping at n. reaonable rates; and by introduding into the country hhproved nethods and implements of culture. WVe truit that the farmers will en. ter ear nestly into this matter. We believe much good can be accomplish o, ed by joining the order. d A Row Among the Trearers, 10 Our telegrams report that Treasur. 1o ere Allen, of (reenville, and Eichel to berger, of hElgefield, have been fir v- rested as defaulters by Treasurer ad Cardoza, and are now in prison. As 11 yet no particular charges haVe been or specified. But we hear the difficully o, has aiorn as to the admissibility of it- oortifictes in payment of taxes. a. These o1fieials, it sorms, have bought o. up harge amounts in school certifi of cates and other warrants on the treas rs ury, and, anvirg collected the taxes in 11 C. d W.--ley, wish Cardosa to receive o %t.o a raita instead, This he refus t- es to do, and responds by committing >f them to .il. These eases will be d brought befoe tte Courts, and will 1. be very intereeting, as there are hun .dreds of etificates all over the t- State. Mo.,t of these etifleates were s. obtained honestly ; and the y"raonus to r- whom th-ey were given shoeld be paid. p5 If tilesO her been received et par in e lieu of takes by alien nnd IEiohel borger, we would be inclined to say e. they should be received b~y Cardosa. seBut the probability is, that taxes were dl. paid in good money, which mono~y et these meun now hold. They have mn bought up oertificates in all diree etions, pay ing only abont twenty-Elve af or fifty cents on the dollar, and now b wiah them to be received at par. nWe protest against this. The Certik o floates have passed out of the hahds of :- honest holders ; abd taking them .at par, now, would only be enriching .a siot of men uhbo have already waxed f at on thoir ill gotton gaitts. We applaud Treasurer Cardceia's conducot in this matter, andl trt that ho will make the treasurer of enoh county pay over every cent he baa gcollected. We had intended to abuse ar somebody for the deficianoy in the e School fund for this County, and had iselected Treasurer Cardozn as the proper persoan to be abused; but since -the receipt of this news we shall bot, the our wrath until we flnd where the dfault actually lies. eOinoinnati an d Port Royal, eA moven.ent is nOW ona foot fo es. wta blish direct cotmmunication bet ween ry Cincinnati and the South Atlantie r- TIhe merchants of that dity are thoroughly itn earnest Ia this matter, fbelieving it essential to their future dprosperity. Biut as yet hav a not seleota n ed1 any place as the eastern terminus rof the road. A letter, however, ro. a cently appeared in a Cincinnati paper f- written by Edward Manrifeld, a lead. m ing capitalist of that secolion, strongly -advocating the claims of Port Royal, ein this State. Mr. ?tlansfteld enu. rates many reasons why Port ad Royal should be selected. It pea. at senses the most magnificent barbor on .the A tlantic Coast, second not even to it that of New York. Careful sound re ings show that there are twenty-four t, feet of water on the bar at low tide, to a depth sufficient to adarit the largest atvessels. Th. ditstance bet..e.. thes termini is but fli hundred mits 1 sod orr abst of the route thertare already in Qperat ion, roads, whiv*irI form part of the tnain trunk 1.

After thi, route is flot-bed, the pro. ductions of the Western prairiosand Southern plains titnd platekou, and the co-ton and rite of our own l4ilands will be brought to, Port Royal and s'apped to all ports tor th.- worl.

Under ti.e-editcumtems they cast l'tging eyes on Prt hal. - The roil wi'l loe built. It is but a tjuestion of time. Anl theni we will behold a magniacetat connercial own tre, rising in our State. With its oa. etpa cious hailbor, knd deligh:ful oht mate, with the South and West f..r 'feeders, And tb,- auild for i 5 e -oiM. era, it will ere long become, indeed, a "P%-rt Royal" for u!l nat i<ts. rEr Insur noo. We are informeud that a few days after the firej the Agent of the 1.-r mania Pire fusuranoc Couapuny re coived orders to raibe the premiumu upon property intoured in that Com paty. He was ordered, in eatn this deuand Was tLot complied With, to tender the original amount paid, and caneel the policy already existing. We believe that the merchants rebiot ed the demtand. If an lu.uranco Coauhpanly is aillow, ed to exercise this privilege, then the bedeits i aring from insurance are at an end ; for if the ovibpany has a right t6 onhoel a poliy at will, upon tendering the prentiuw, it will be able never to suffer loss. Suppose A and It have adj.uning stores) and A' is found to be in flames. Iu the nidst of the fire an agent of the empany rushes up to B, tendering him the ptemiumi, and giv. ing him the alternative of paying fifty per cent. additionfal, or loglog his in surance altogether. We hold that a policy given for a year, is good for a yeart without tin) obange in its premium, rotwithatand. ing .any tebtrilting or explanatory clauses that may be printed in the contract ; and that the present at. tempt on the part of the co-npany is a pleae of ettortion, not tenable in law. The fact is that these insurance Companies ar e huge money mtaking machines, long pat th-4 point at which corporations' ceaea to have souls. Under their present irrango ment, they are beommng a cuoha to the country, instead of a blessing. WVhenever they sustain a loss. they now lev'y a dirtot tax upon their poli cy holders to defray it, instead of meeting it with their assets. The only way to remeody this evil is for the merchant. to forma a co-ope. rative Insurance company amtoibg themselves. We trust that some of our leading merchants and financiers will sugges~t some feasible plan for nc* compilisohing this <nd'. Our couurni are open for dineussion. Execution of Womnen.
