Editor of Thf Aiken Jie.cordcr: Ia.*t me adduce other facts in the j history of the Graniteville Manufact- I uring Company that will show, “as j strong as proof of Holy Writ,’' that i the Graniteville mill is not “practi cally a part of Augusta’s manufactu- j ring system”—which means, if it has any definite meani g at ail, a system devised and out into operation by cit izens of Augusta. The machinery of the Graniteville mill was set in motion during the latter part of the year 1848—a little more than two years after the organi zation of the Company. It was then perceived, if it was not apparent be- that the capital stock subscribed insufficient to complete the 1 to successfully manage its financial business. Accordingly at a meeting of the stockholders in 1849, it was determined to increase the cap ital stock to ifhCO.OhO. Now, the stock thoroughbred > btained at the hand, Levels, retaining his services. Their action in the first instance is f irecisely in accord with the frequent- y expressed opinion of this paper that one trial justice is ample for the town of Aiken. No emergency can arise where a second trial justice can not arrive quite soon enough trom the towns of Graniteville, Langley. Bath or Hamburg to grant a habeas eoip m if needed. We have entirely t o many trial justices already, and the , p Hey should be to reduce the nuru- j her within the limits of reason. We j do not think it conducive to good or-1 der aud neighborly good feeling to plump a trial justice down in every neighbo hood. On the contrary, we believe it furnishes a temptation to litigation upon frivolous pretences, which inevitably leads to bad feeling and breeches of the peace. Let there be only one trial justice in the town of Aiken. Allow him a sal ary of four or live hundred dollars per annum; but require all fees lor criminal business to be paid into the county treasury. By this course no encouragement will lie afforded to petty litigation, and the office and the officer will acquire additional dignity and influence. We are glad to see our oft-expressed views at last realized, because we believe it will redound to the welfare of society. The Waste Basket in Requisition. The correspondent from Ridge Spring, who sends us a communica tion in reply to “Student,” has not only written on botii sides of the pa per, but instead of confining himself to one page at a time, stretches his lines across botii pages. This of itself is enough to consign it to the waste basket; but when we take info con-i sideration its gratuitously insulting fiings of a purely personal nature, un warranted by anything written by “Student,” we emphatically decline its publication on Unit ground alone. The Recorder shall never be util ized as a vehicle of personal abuse for purely personal motives by anyone as long as M - e have editorial control ol its columns. This course we believe to be not only consistent with every principle of social ethics, but with the most or dinary rules of propriety and a due regard for the peace and good order of society. The readers of The Recor der expect of us better mental pabu lum than acrimonious personal con troversy between neighbors over mat ters utterly void of gcn^Vl interest. I.ct us H:.*ve Healt.. Wo earnestly invite the attention of our Town authorities to the filthy condition of many of the back-lots in Aiken. Especially is this the cave with many of those on Laurens Street, the main business thorough fare of the town. We know of some that are in such an offensive condi tion as to impregnate the whole sur rounding atmosphere with the most offensive odors during the heat of the day. Unless radical and prompt remedies are applied, desease will surely be propagated iu these local ities.* In a place like Aiken, where Provi dence has blessed us with so many climatic advantages, it looks like a sin aud a shame to peril human life and the sanitary reputation of the town, by an utter disregard of the most ordinary rules of cleanliness. We understand that the Board of health have reported certain cases already. We now earnestly invoke the Intendent and Council to adopt summary measures for the removal of these nuisances. subscribed for eh icily by the original subscribers, though a veiy considera ble mini tier of new names was added to the stock list—names as “familiar as household words”—all of whom were South Carolinians, save possibly The new two-story brick .‘tore o Mr. Robert Powell is an ornament to Main street.

Nay, more than this; from the year 1840 to 1802 not a single citizen or reside! of Our enterprising fellow-citizen, Mr. H. F. Warneke, the baker, has pur chased the two eligible lots of C. D. Hayne on Park avenue. One is the | lot upon which Hayne’s dwelling and tailor shop stands, and the other is the one where Mr. Wright carries on the shoemaking business. Mr. Warneke contemplates extensive improve ments. Mr. J. W. Townsend, who some months ago bought the Defeaussure house of Mr. J. H. Beckman, has just purchased the fine lot to the east— 150 feet by 200 feet—from Mr. Henry Smith. The old buildings, which have long been an eyesore, will be torn down, and Mr. Townsend will enclose it as a part of his lot. Other buildings and improvements are going on or are in contemplation, which we will notice in some future issue. Music Rouse ol* ihe South. We are indebted to our estimable friend, Mr. G. O. Robinson, the popu lar proprietor of The Music House of the South, at Augusta, Ga., for a copy of ‘The New Casket,” which contains a grand collection of church and sing ing class music, containing sparkling gems from Handel, Mozart, Hudon, Rossini, and church selections from eminent American composers, witli twelve lessons in the art of reading vocal music, bv Ludden. This publi- cation is gotten up by G. O. Robinson, and we feel assured it need only be seen to be appreciated. xl I i | Ttarr^T'otmTaih City” nce^rme a stock holder iu the Graniteville mill by subscription or purchase of stock.

''nlniiol vr*~ on his way from Charleston, whither he had been as a member of the Board of Visitors of tiie Military Academy and as a delegate to the Episcopal Convention. The many friends of the battle-scarred veteran and accom plished gentleman were rejoiced to shake him by the hand once more, and wish him long life and success in all ins undertakings. He left for Greenville yesterday. thirty-three shares of the stock. What color* does this fact give to the claim that the Gra uteville mill is “practi cally a part of Augusta’s manufactu ring system”? Mr. Hickman, when lie assumed the Presidency, was encompassed by very many apparently insurmounta- ble nionetary difficulties. But noth ing daunted by the formidable array, and aided by an able and intelligent Board of Directors, he fearlessly en countered and overcame them all, and in a very brief period he achieved a most phenomenal success by his in domitable will, his absorbing zeal and devotion to the duties of his office, and his unsurpassed financial skill. He succeeded beyond his own most sanguine hopes. He soon induced, by the confidence in him, a goodly num ber of the solid men of Augusta to invest in Graniteville stock; and these | now constitute an array of intelligent men of whom any corporation might feel justly proud; and are represented 11;., i.toi-v |>y one capable in all T^Q’Oointrrri’iiy *• .-( j'.* : <if BROW auoi Located (ForrnerlJ gustu P# S GLOBE HOTEL PA, - - GEORGIA.

The Collumbia Correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says: Col onel William Pin dviiey fetarke will soon begin tiie preparation of a work on the life of John C. Calhoun, and no one is more competent to dis charge so delicate and onerous a task. Colonel fetarke is one of the most gifted writers in the South, and he lias a most intelligent comprehension of Calhoun’s statesmanship, and fully appreciates Ids great character. Ills thorough knowledge of the great Car olinian’s public career, and his earn est sympathy with all of Mr. Cal houn’s patriotic efforts in behalf of, his fetate, make him peculiarly fitted | for this labor he has undertaken, and ; feouth Carolinians especially will re- j ceive this announcement with delight j and satisfaction, because they will re- j alize that full justice is to be done the j memory of her great son. 1 have re- eemiy received a letter from Colonel fetarke, in which he mentions that he is seated in a chair used by George "''"'Wk'siTington antf'writTng on the table of J. C. Calhoun. Under the inspira tion of such surroundings he must certainly make a successful com mencement. Our esteemed friend Mr. W. W. Woolsey, one of the progressive farm ers of the Levels, informed us on Friday last that of the four horses on his farm, three were bred and raised on the place and the fourth bred and raised in this County. This speaks well for Aiken and particularly well for Mr. W oolsey. We hope to see our farmers pay increased attention to the raising of fine stock of every descrip tion with each recurring year. A delegation of nineteen, headed by President Hahn of the Aiken fechuetzen, visited Charleston !::st week to attend the Charleston feehuei- zenfest, and passed a delightful time.

Please, Mr. Editor, pardon the length of this screed, yet allow me a little more space to say, in conclusion, that in all 1 have indited I am not actuated by envy or enmity towards Augusta. On the contrary I greatly admire the city that reposes on the right bank of tbe feavannah, in such beauty and majesty. 1 rejoice in her growth and prosperity. Her noble people need no eulogy; their deeds of noble doing and daring speak for them. Yet I could not forbear to re buke, in my feeble way, the “vaulting ambition which o’erleaps itself,” as manifested in the extracts I have ta ken from her daily journals. If these speak truly for her, I cannot refrain from saying that when she essays to matronize all the towns which lie within a radius of twenty miles from her bell-tower, she is vainly attempt ing to incubate more eggs* than she can cover. “Blow your own horn” is a good maxim for a man, if he does not weary the public ear; but when he distorts his face and puffs out his cheeks to an unseemly distension in bootless attempts to sound the notes of a fog-horn on a puny whistle, he makes himself ridiculous and unbear able even to his friends.
