Thursday Morning, April 22nd, 1869. THE STATE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. The Colombia Pheenix has been requested to state that arrangements have been perfected by which delegates to the Statfr-Agricultural Convention will be passed over all the roads at half fare. -o AN IMPORTANT MEETING. We are-requested to give notice that a meeting of the Selectmen from the various townships will bo held at this place on Saturday, 8th day of May. The object of the meeting is to consult as to the best plan of operations for the present year, especially in levying taxes and keeping up the highways, and it is desirable that there should be a full meeting. Every township ought to be repre? sented by one or more Selectmen. AN OLD OFFENDER. The Asheville (N. C) A?r?, in copying a para? graph from this paper relative to the arrest of one John S?llivan for stealing a horse in thiis vicinity^ makes :he following statement regarding him, which proves that he is ao old offender ngainst the law : "This man Sullivan is known in our country, -where he w?.s born and raised. Suspicion attaches to his as having stolen several horses in this sec? tion, before leaving it, and having been now caught in the aot, it is fair to presume that a period has teen put to his exploits, for awhile at least." COTTON HOT TAXED. Two or three weeks ago, we made reference to a statement in an Augusta cotemporary that cotton grown the present year was liable to taxation, and expressed our belief that this impression was erro? neous. The statement of our cotemporary, in some form or ether, h:.s been circulated all over the South. In order that all doubts oa the sub? ject might be removed, a letter was addressed by the^commercial editor of :hc Memphis Avalanche to the Secretary of the Treasury, asking for infor? mation. This letter was referred to Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Revenue depart men t, who replied in substance that the Act of February 3, 186$, abolishing the lax on cotton, is so clear as to admit of no doubt as to its meaning and effect, and the language of this Act is quoted as follows: "That all cotton grown in the United States after the year 1867 shall be exempt from internal tax." This operates to exempt, not only the crop of 18C8, hut the crops of all succeeding years, until the A'ct shall be repealed or modified by subsequent legislation, as suggested by ns in the paragraph already alluded to. * The last number of the Walhalla Courier contains a lengthy card to the public from Dr. 0. >L Doyle, one of the efficient and popular Repre? sentatives of Oconee county in the present Legis? lature, replying to certain charges preferred by the Grand Jury of that county against the Special Oommissioners of Location for neglect of duty. In concluding the explanation made as to his own conduct as a member of the Board, Dr. Dotle hopes that "those papers in the State which have published or commended the presentment" of the Grand Jury "will do the justice" to publish his card. We commend the .ttyle of the presentment alluded to, but explicitly stated that we did not pretend to judge of the merits of the questions in? volved. As we did not publish the presentment nor make any improper use of our privileges as a journalist, we respectfully decline needing to the request of Dr. Doyle, especially as neither him? self or any other member of the Board, or even the Board itself, were mentioned in our editorial "commending" the Grand Jury of Oconee. We arc always willing to do "justice" wherever a party feels aggrieved or wronged by editorial allusions, but we respectfully submit to our friend that in this instance there is no injustice on onr part, whatever may be the case with others. So far as we know, this paper is the only one in the State (outside of Oconee county) to ^pch the request is applicable, and hence we have felt it incumbent upon us to make this statement. LAND COMMISSIONER. The Advisory Board, created under the Act of the Legislature, consisting of the Governor, Comp? troller-General, State Treasurer, Secretary of State and Attorney General met in Columbia last week and appointed Charles P. Leslie, Senator from Barn well, Land Commissioner of the State of South Carolina. This appointment is doubtless made to sooiii the "irrepressible's" feelings in consequence of his losing the United States Marshalsbip for this State, of which he was so certain ; and it might likewise be accounted for on the ground that it was necessary to keep down another disgraceful "indignation" meeting. Whatever may have been the motives actuating the Advisory Board in thrus? ting this fit little office upon the impecunious Sen? ator firom Barnwell, we are confident that Leslie will be quite as acceptable to the land ownecs (from whom he is expected to purchase) as any other of tbe tribe of carpet-baggers. The Act un. der which the appointment is made appropriates $2,000,00) in bonds of the State to the purchase at lands to be sold on a credit of five years to actual settlers, in sections of not less than twenty five nor more than one hundred acres, the pur? chaser to pay interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum, and ever* year after tbe time from the purchase to pay one-fifth of the principal. ANDREW JOHNSON. The warm reception given by the people of Ten? nessee to their old favorite indicates the strong bold he yet possesses upon their hearts. Besides the speeches made by him at Greenville and Knox ville, he has traveled across the State, and deliver? ed, tatting blows in favor of the Constitution and against the tyranny of the Radical party, both at Nashville end Memphis, Immense crowds docked to hear him, and in every quarter there is the greatest enthusiasm over Andy's return. The thraldom of oppression and misrule, under which the people of Tennessee have existed for several years, will pass away as a summer's cloud before tbe spirited onslaughts of this tribune of the mas? ses. His speeches are always characteristic, at times eloquent, and anon more forcible than ele? gant. In one of his speeches, after telling his hear? ers that he prefered to be in their midst advocating the principles of the Constitution rather than to be inaugurated President, he concluded with this sublime peroration : "I would rather near the hon? est dust of peaceful toil than the gi'Ued vhoulder, Btrops or the sword crimsoned in a brother's^ood, dangling at my side. Yes, I prefer the peaceful badges of a citizen to the insignia of bloody and relentless war. I had rather be is your midst to vfurl the banner of pen.ee and fasten it below the cross, with the inscription, Goo first and mi cnusTBY next. My confidence is unaltered, that the people will be true to. themselves, reason will he restored, and we shall again have our old form cf jjoveruweat." J APPOINTMENTS BT THE GOVERNOR. The Columbia Phoenix of Tuesday publishes a list of appointments made by Gov. Scott of per? sons selected to take the census of each county in tbe State, and in connection therewith makes use of the following language: " The appointments will be generally approved, and we hope that in the discharge of their duties these officials will meet with every facility which can be afforded by the citizens of our State." Now, when it is de? clared that one-third of the persons named are ne? groes,, and the majority of them totally unqualified for the position, tbe statement of the Phoenix will be received with surprise and indignation. Pub? lished at the capital of the State, and with facul? ties to obtain information not excelled by another journal within its borders, the Phxnix mal es the grandest mistake in presuming that such appoint? ments will be "generally approved." So far from this being the case, we incline to the opinion that they will be generally condemned. Hereto? fore, newspapers at the capital have been looked upon as the exponents of public sentiment through? out the State, but it ought to be distinctly under? stood that, in this instance, there is a lamentable failure to appreciate public sentiment, much less to give tone and direction to public opinion. Such appointments will not be "generally approved," now or hereafter, for the principle is wrong to confer office upon incompetent and unworthy per? sons, of whatever race or color. We are not astonished by the course Gov. Scott has pursued in making these appointments. He is cheek by jowl w.th the negroes, and if re-elec? ted will owe hin second elevation to their support. His appointment for this' county is against the wishes of his own party, so far as we can learn, and we understand that a petition was circulating among tho respectable colored people on yester? day, asking Gov. Scott to reconsider the matter. There were other applications before him, we have been assured, end among tbem tbe name of T. J. Webb, who is entirely competent to fill the place, and possesses every qualification to meet the re? quirements of the Republican party, including loyalty itself. Besides, he was recommended by numerous citizens of both parties. Why were his claims ignored, and the office filled by a colored man not at all qualified ? But, then, the Phoenix says such appointments will be " generally ap? proved." Et lu Brute? .-<p HENRY S. FOOTE. It bas been a long while since this noted indi? vidual has appeared before the public gaze, yet we are well aware that he never "hides his light un? der a bushel." Tbe last great exploit of his gen? ius, which is remembered by the Southern people, was when he attempted to ferry across the Kappa hannock into the enemy's lines, near the close of the war. He Is yet alive and kicking. What a steady example of the Ishmcelite has he turr ished, with his hand against every man ? Intense .fanati? cism always marked his career, and there can be no surprise at any political tergiversation lie may be guilty of, since his nature requires as food the extremest hatred and bitterest prejudices. Moder? ate and rational counsel doth not become him, and whenever be flounders into the political arena, it is with curses and maledictions upon some devo? ted head. But an introduction to Henry S. Footj; is entirely unnecessary, since the world knows him and the people of tho South are perfectly fa? miliar with his antecedents. We started to say that the inveterate, and irrepressible Poors has turned up in Nashville, Tcnn., recently, and this time fancies that ex-President Johnson has done him an injury, for which he is pouring out the vials of his wrath. It seems that Mr. Jo.hnson, in a speech d?liv*>r?d in XoaIivUIa th? nthesr day. made some allusion which Henry S. Footk tor? tures into a charge against himself. He ausumes that Mr. Johnson charged him with ingratitude. He denies the charge, and avers that he owes nothing to the forbearance and generosity of John? son, who, he alleges, treated him unkindly and cruelly. He denounces Johnson as a seditionist, ?j whom the people of Tennessee are indebted for their disfranchisement. He charges bin. wills usurpation and tyranny, and admonishes the peo? ple of the Southern States not to be controlled by him, but to accept the legislation of Congress and the confidence of Gen. Grant, who, he assure:) them, is their friend, and desires to restore them to pros? perity and good government. Poor, unhappy old man ! After boxing every point of the political compass for the last thirty, years, in his old age and decrepitude, and with a full knowledge of the numerous political sins al? ready recorded against him, Henry S. Foote ad? vises an acceptance of the monstrous legislation of Congress and the confidence (?) of Gen. Gbant. How are tho mighty fallen ! -o-. Bgff* In consequence of the large number of new advertisements, many important matters are post-poned until next week. The letters of "D. H." and our article on Northern immigration share this fate with others. Our Charleston Correspondence. Charleston, April 19, 18G9. Dame Nature never introduced Spring-time to her Charleston family in better hnmor than she has doue this Anno Domini 1869. All is sunshine and warmth, and the bursting of buds and the carolling of birds make the heart glad. If there be one thing lacking, it is water. Our citizens are dry, our streets dusty, and oar throats driest and dustiest of aH. Two hours walk on the Bay makes a man feel as if he bad a small Band bar in his stomach, and affords reasonable excuses for patronizing those "mixologists of tippulars" which are to be found on every corner. One cannot complain, however, in the teeth of so much good fortune as has been vouchsafed to this community during the last six or eight months. On all sides men's faces tell of an increase of wordly store. Since the last Fall, stocks, bonds, city property and real estate in the vicinity, all responsive as the needle to the magnet, have been affected by the silent undercurrent of prosperity Northern capital has sought the Southern field of investment, and men of means continue to arrive here by every steamer in seach of the mystical lamp of Alladin, or some new process wherewith to bwcII their riches. Money has been plentiful ; country merchants have paid cash for their pur? chases; cotton hau kept ships moving and factors busy, and every department of trade has received a fresh and healthy impetus. Just now there is a lull Money is comparatively tight, and yet enough is doing to keep the blood from stagnation and tb? commercial coffee-pot boiling. But what a contrast there is between April, 1861 and 1869. How terrible have been the changes of eight years ! Equally striking is the difference between 1865 and 1869. Then, more than half the city was like a desert over which presided the genius of destruction. The shriek of the shell or the clang of the fire-bell wer? the on? ly sounds that broke the silence in the region known as "d&wn town." Stores and dwellings were covered wUh the ragged embroideries of Gen. Gilmore's guns, and their owners were refugees from home. The streets were denuded of pavements that batteries might be built, and grass grew in the once buiy marts of trade. Note the changes wrought in three short years? Abandoned and crumbling wharves are lined with the finest ships. Scarcely a wreck of the past, is to be seen. The hand of improvement, still hard hard at work, bas given to us some elegnat edifices, a city railway, steam engines, banks, factories and machine shops. The "refugees" who once used to meet in the country grocery store or elsewhere, killing time with the discussions on the "situation," are now live, earnest business men, who make the most of every minute in the day. Many have not recovered from their losses by the war, but others, by shrewdly speculating in cotton and other commodities, have comfortable bank accounts and few complaints. You would be surprised at the number of North? ern men here ; and there is scarcely a branch of trade in which they have not become interested. Many large plantations are either owned or leased by these enterprising persons, and they are test? ing for themselves the problem of free labor. There are plenty of negtocs, but not much dispo? sition to work. The misfortunes of the last three years, incident to the caterpillar scourge, have not "deterred our people from another trial still, and the Sea Islands promise to be thoroughly worked. Many plantations have been seid at auc? tion every week, but at prices so low as to indi? cate heavy mortgages in the background. Our citizens are on the qui vive for the decision of Judge Carpenter in the case of Pillsbury vs. the present Mayor and Aldermen. The claimants, through Corbin, their counsel, base their proceed? ings upon the Act of 18C9, which legislates Pills bury and his friends into office. The chief ground on which the claim is opposed is that this Act is unconstitutional and void. The case was argued four or five days, but Judge Carpenter thus far has not rendered his decision. Several attempts have been made to "bull and bear" the money markirt on the supposed result, but there has not been the ghost of an intimation as to what that re? sult will be. Judge Carpenter, however, has estab? lished, himself in the confidence of the bar of Charleston as a lawyer who will not allow him? self to be swayed professionally or judicially by mere political considerations. Among the new enterprises on foot is the publi? cation of a monthly magazine to be called "The Nineteenth Century," which it is said will be one of the most unique and entertaining magazines ever established in the South. Some of the ablest writers have been engaged to furnish reading mat? ter for the million, and the design is to make it at? tractive to everybody, especially planters, mer? chants and professional gentlemen. Those who participated in the war will be glad to learn that " Pereonne " will commence in the first number "Reminiscences of the War," dating from the first bombardment of Fort Sumter in April, 1861. It will doubtless be a faithful historical record, and especially interesting to the officers and privates of our Carolina regiments. W. W. Hicks, D.D., the popular preacher, who is a graphic writer and no mean poet, is the co-editor of Mr. F. G. De Fontaine. The announcement of the undertaking has excited a great deal of curiosity. Green peas and strawberries are beginning to find a New York market. We are living on fish and fruit. Oranges, pine apples and bananas are cheap and abundant. King street is like a panorama. Spring goods have been opened, and the display of colors in the windows is Kaleidoscopic. The ladies say such an array of pretty styles has not been seen in Charles ton since the war; and it may be added, solto voce, that they make their husbands shed greenbacks woefully. You remember the drive to Magnolia, and on? ward to the Four Mile House? Some of our citi? zens are making arrangements to lay a shell road nix miles out in (hat direction. Our Fire Department is getting ready for the annual celebration on the 27th. Steamers and hand engines are practicing every night, and the event promises to attract large numbers of visitors from different portions of the State. Some eight companies are expected from various localities. Hotete full. One can elbow tourists from the Old World and the New to his heart's content Snil boats and carriages are in unusual demand, and at he rate at which these peripatetics are gathering relics ef the late uncivil war, there won't be left a monumental work in wood or stone to which another generation can point. The very dirt seems precious to these curiosity hunters, and they absorb bits of old iron and chips of grave stones with as much avidity as if they had "struck ile." Yours truly, X. ? Under authority of the act of the Legislature, parsed at the recent session, entitled an "Act to provide for the enumeration of the inhabitants of this State," Go v. Scott has appointed Samuel Johnson (colored) to take the census of Anderson cot.nty. -o ? The Edgefield Advertiser says that everybody turned fool and went to see Prof. Cushman, the chi.uipion horse-trainer ; and most of tbem loft the scene, acknowledging that they had been frightful? ly bored. A similar infliction was suffered by a certain crowd at this place not many weeks ago, bui. we have been slow to mention the subject, as we were in tho crowd. ? Mr. Daniel G. Kume, of Chicago, III., pub? lishes an advertisement addressed to those Confed? erate soldiers who were prisoners of war at Camp Douglass, Chicago, 111., or to friends of such sol? diers who were deprived of all, or a portion of their money or property, under the plea of forfeit? ure or otherwise.

April 22, 18C9 43 Notice to Bondholders. Auditor's Office, l Anderson, April 21, 18G9- j UPON examining the Assessor's books, I find that many of the bondholders in various railroad com? panies have failed to return tbe bonds for taxation. In many cases the number of bonds have been given, but not the value of the same, and as there are several classes of bonds, it is impossible to have them equalized and placed on the books at their proper value. In order that this be done, I hereby summon every bondholder to meet the County Board of Equalization at my office on Mon ? day, the third day of May, 1860, to show reason why such bonds were not returned.
