OUR ADVERTISING COLUMNS. AYc fake occasion to call the attention of our friends to the advantages to be de? rived from advertising. *As many are just now resuming business, wo hope they will find ijt to their interest to avail themselves of tbo us'3 of our columns, to present their claims lo palroj;igc before the public. ?- _ TO'THE PUBLIC. In appearing again before this corortu nity as a candidate for general patronage, we feel that it is entirely appropriate to address a few words to that generous pub? lic'which has sustained us heretofore in all our humble -efforts. Tbc Intelligencer is set afloat at this time, under peculiar circumstances, and after an experience by no means pleasant or profitable to the proprietors. Upon its resumption in February last, after a suspension of near? ly four years, there was no desire on our part to accumulate an extravagant quan? tity of the currency then extant, and consequently the price of subscription was placed within the reach of the poor? est and Iminblest in the land. Atter three months of unceasing effort to.per? form the obligation under which .\?c had voluntarily placed ourselves, to furnish a medium for general and local intelligence, the fortunes of war dissipated, at 'a sin? gle, revolution of the wheel, all our expec? tations, and left us in an exceedingly crippled condition, from which we are only partially recovered. . In.other words,. the damage done to our material is only sufficiently repaired to enable us to pre? sent the IntiSigencer in a very diminu? tive form. During the vacuum thus made in our history as journalists, events have crowd? ed swiftly upon each other, and to-day we lind a totally different existence all around us. The Confedreate cause has waxed and waned, until there is not left a semblance of its vitality in the country cast of the Mississippi .River. The Uni? ted States has- resumed authority over the region-named, and the people of the Southern States arc left to contemplate their impoverished and unenviable condi? tion With sincere honesty and candor, we are- free to admit that this stato of things is contrary to our wishes and the hopes induced by the struggle fors inde? pendence. Yet wo cannot sink into pools of despondency nor flounder amid *he shoals of despair, but would rather bold? ly' meet the issue presented to us and cn deavor-to.wrench from the grasp of Fate whatever will best conduce to the promo? tion *of our interests and prospects.? There is no choice, and we believe it alto? gether futilo to build up temporizing methods or seek to shirk the responsibili? ty attached to our present condition;? Let us, then, with patienco and manly fortitude, resolve to work out the destiny before us, and bend all our energies to re? cuperate the exhausted resources of our section. In this way only can we fulfiill the duty of good citizens, striving to. 1 maintain and uphold the honor and digni ty of an enlightened race. Let there be no fawning or sycophantic adulations of authority; but in a spirit, of acquiescence and calm submission, sustain the meas? ures inaugurated for cur control and guidance. ' The Intelligencer will be devoted, in fu? ture, to the dissemination of news, both local and general, and contain as hereto- . fore instructive and moral literature. Of course ils limited-size will debar a <rreat variety, yet we hope to enlarge at the earliest possible time. POLICE REGULATIONS. For the better government of society, and the maintenance of peace and good order in these 'roublous times, the Town Council of Anderson has organized an ef? fective police force, including all male res? idents from 10 years and upwards. As yet the system is not matured and we re? gret to say that there are toojnany ready to offer excuses and evado the duty im? posed. This should not be tho case, and we would earnestly urge, upon one and all, tKc necessity of prompt compli? ance with tho small demand upon their time and services. The police is under a ? competent' chief, \fith f-evcu- assistants, and is sufiicieniiy iiuraerotts to preserve order if every man will cheerfully dis? charge the duty metrmbcirt upon him.? In this connection, we might very "pmp" erly cite) for the benorit of tiie doubting and credulous, the order issued from Co? lumbia, requesting citizens to unite in the preservation of the public welfare, and which will bo found upon oar fourth page. ? THE CROPS. The prospect for ah abundant corn crop in this section has never been excelled within our recollection. Frequent and copious showers have prevented a day's suffering in tho corn fields, and it is a common remark that the corn crops were never more easily workod than this season. The wheat crop has turned out badly, in most instances scarcely producing the seed. In all* probability out* people will have to.bo content with a very short al? lowance of flour.* * Tho fruit crop promises to be most abundant. The peach trees are laden with an unusual quantity of fruit, and if no mishap occurs, there will, be tin exces? sively largo yield. -?.->-!? JKDf We call attention to tho advertise? ments in this issue, showing that there is some industry and business being pursued in our town. -;-_-?
