Said this Ida k-hearted white skin, addressing a group: “Why I have been studying the people down in this country for twelve years past, and know them well. Youseethat negro there ? (poin- ing to Gen. Prince Rivers, who is as black as a crow, and was sitting on a carriage-box near by, and who is one ! of the sable pets at the Park Hotel.) Why he is as far above the Southern people as we are above the negro. Why ! they fawn around the Northern peo ple! You cannot treat them kindly; the more you kick the more they fawn around you.” All we have to say to tliisunw specimen of the American, is that heart and mind are a disgrace to his white skin. His brutal instincts have made him mistake politeness for fawning; and we politely invite him to stop on the Main street of Aiken and repeat his malignant and insult- ! ing remarks in the presence of any Southern white man, and he will soon i find out whether he will he fawned on or whether he will reeieve a good kicking and a horse-whipping to boot.

We take great pleasure in inviting the attention of our readers to the carefully prepared and explicit adver tisement of the Germania Savings Bauk of Charleston, Captain Jacob Smalls president, m hieh appears in another column. The capital of this institution is $500,000, and its presi dent and hoard of directorsare among the most respected and substantial citizens of Charleston. The Bank af fords every inducement and facility usually extended by a first-el ass hank ing house. The list of depositors nmv reach over 4,000, m ith more than $1,- 000,000 to their credit. The hanking house is eligibly located ina handsome building on Broad street, and is fur nished m ith an expensive burglar and li re-proof vault. Our citizens are rec ommended to read the advertisement carefully and open correspondence M ith this solid and respectable insti tution. Singular ami High llumlec! Act. On Thursday last t wo men from Augusta, one of m horn is said to he named Sam Hackle, drove up to one of Air. John Dicks’ fields, about four miles from Ellenton, and stated that they had a MTirrant for the arrest of a negro man M orking near by among a number of other hands. They i^ot out of their buggy and jumped theienee, M'hcreupon the negro started to run. One of them raised his gun and tired, severely Mounding him in the- leg. Our informant, Air. John Hall, the mail-carrier, failed to learn the name of the Mounded man or tho nature of the offence charged. It certainly seems to us like a high-handed meas ure for parties from Georgia to attempt to arrest anyone in South Carolina M’ithout the proper authority, and M’liat is still more strange is that after disabling the man m Iioui they sought, with a painful Mound, they returned to their buggy and drove off M'ithout making any arrest. The atlair should he investigated, and if this is simply an unauthorized or lawless act the olfenders should he brought to justice. Crops in Aiken County. Corn planting is over except in tlie loM* bottoms. Cotton planting isheing vigorously pressed forward. Never before in the history of the*County has such a large area been given to oats, and the prospect fora bountiful yield is very promi-ing. A limited area of M'heat has also been planted, and so far is doing Midi; hut no man can tell M'hat M ill he the outcome of a M’heat crop in this latitude until he has it safely housed. There is every indication that this M ill he a year of plenty in ‘the matter of provision crops, consequently the farmers M ill have more to spend next fall in pur chasing those conveniences and com forts M hieh go to make home attract ive and life enjoyable. A year of abundance means the biggest kind of a Democratic victory next fall. With a big oat crop harvested and a tine corn crop in the*Held, the hoys M ill have nothing to Merry them; all they m ill have to do is to put on their red shirts ami tie n feu - bundles of oats behind their saddles, and ride to every Democratic meeting held in the coun ty. Hot work, sharp Mork and patri otic M’ork is expected of every man, J and in order to realize these expecta tions, every farmer must try to malu Wo understand from good authority that Alessrs. B. P.

The Wavorly House. If you M ant a nice place to take a lady,go to the Waverly House, in the bend of King street, Charleston, S. C. The draM’ing-rooms are elegantly fur nished, and tlie sleeping apartments equipped M'ith every comfort. The tallies are supplied M'ith tho very best that the Charleston and New York markets afford, and the polite ntton- ger, and his competent assistant, Air. EdMard Owens, of Barnwell County, make a visit to this excellent hotel c x t rem el v agreea Ide. Fatal Aecitleui. A fine hay horse attached to a small M’agoii, the property of Air. John N. Wigfall, took fright from some cause while standing in front of Air. Lyons’ residence, and came tearing through Main street on Thursday Iasi M’ithout a driver. The hubs of the left m heels came in collission M’ith the hubs of the m heels of Dr. Collin’s buggy, M’liieh Mas standing in front of Dr. Harbors’ drug store, and passing over t hem •()!!1| tel v overturned tlie Mag- on. hurling the animal violently to the ground and instantly breaking his neck. Singular to relate, Dr. Collin’s buggy Mas uninjured, save that the metal rings on the end of the hubs Mere knocked off. We sympathize m ith our friend, Air. Wigfall, in his loss, and congratulate the doctor on the narroM escape of a neu’ buggy. Life ami Gaiety of Aiken. Aikeu is eroMcled M'ith visitors. The hotels and boardinghouses are all do ing a splendid business. Never hrf.iro have our gm—tsseemed to enjoy them selves M’ith keener zest than during tlie present season. A line hand of music has been in daily attendance the Highland Park Hotel tor some time past, and the livery stables have been taxed to their utmost to supply horses and vehicles for tlie pleasure seekers. The fashionable game of Polo K played M’eekly and Carolinians and Northerners fraternize in a social way that is aan able to witness. Fairs, minstrel! performances and shows of various kinds have furnished a round of agivable amusement, and to cap the climax, the weather has been superb, i Ivery yearn< Ids st rength to the claims of Aiken as a great national sanitary resort.
