Jtodewitfu f tttclligeum Thursday Horning, October 7th, 1869. {gy John T. Sloan, jr., is the regular author? ized agent in Columbia to solicit advertisements and procure subscriptions for the Intelligencer. Mr. N. K. Sullivan has placed us under, obligations to him for late New York papers, -? The Abbeville Banner has been sold to the proprietors of the Abbeville Brest, and henceforth the names and business are consolidated: We con? gratulate our friend* upoathe auspieiousarrange nxeut:. The Charleston. Coarf'er*-the oldest news? paper in this State?has been considerably enlarg? ed. It has enjoyed a eucceesful career for more than a half century, and we are gratified to note this dence of an increasing prosperity. Q3h ?he members of the Anderson Brass Band, always alive to matters of public importance, vol? untarily sought to enhance the interest of the Railroad meeting on last Monday, and gave us soms excellent music on that occasion. ggf The Charleston Neirs- appears in a new and beautiful dress. The- enterprise and activity of this metropolitan journal has received substan? tial recognition at tho bands of the people, and the ptwprietors are determined to keep pace with the spirit, of. improvement and progress in our State. The time for payment of taxes without the penalty has been extended to the 15th instant, and sfter that date the County Treasurer has positive instructions to proceed against delinquents by ad? ding twenty per cent. The indulgence granted by the State authorities affords nearly every one an opportunity to escape the penalty. BSf" Owners of mills in this county are reques? ted to meet at Anderson C. H. oa Friday, the 15th of October, for the purpose of fmng uniform rates of toll. It has been suggested by a philanthropic gentleman that the scarcity of breadstuff^ demands lower rates, and the owners of several mills have already agreed to this proposition. The object of j $the proposed meeting is to induce others to grind at corresponding rates, and assist in relieving the distress of the country to some extent. Among the most attractive places to be found in the city of Columbia, none will rank higher than the popular dry goods store cf C. F. Jackson. His assortment is always of the most varied and extensive character, and his prices can? not fail to charm the most exacting customers. Besides, our friend Jackson is a thorough busi? ness man, always alive and wide awake, and glad to meet with customers,, old or new. Persons visiting the capital will receive a hearty greeting at his store. TEE RURAL CAROLINIAN. The first number of this agricultural monthly has been received. Its appearances and contents fully comply with the prospectus. We have not space this week to give it suitable notice, but cor? dially invite our friends to- examine a specimen copy at this office. Persons wbhing to subscribe can send their names and money to us. Published by W?LKKB, Evase & Cogswell, Charleston, S. C, at $2 per annum. THE SEPTEMBER TERM. ( The business of the Court has been progressing satisfactorily, we believe, since the criminal dock? et whs cleared. On Thursday morning last, Judge Ore passed sentence on twelve prisoners?only one white; five were sent to the Penitentiary?all for stealing. The presentment of the grand jury is published elsewhere, and deserves a careful rend? ing, especially at the hands of nugistrites, or rath? er those for whom its just censure is intended. Hi*Court will continue- in session duriug the re xnaiader-ofthe week. Although the business is be? ing rapidly dispatched; the Equity dockets will scarcely bereaclied, and much will have to go over to the next regular term, unless an extra Courtis ordered. THE APPROACHING STATE FAIR, We trust that our people are not unmindful of \ the necessity to make the approaching State Fair a complete success. In former days, Anderson | was not behind her neighbors in contributing to the pleasure and improvement of such occasions, and it is believed that there is a like public spirit actuating her citizens to-day. The Society has offered many valuable premiums for almost every thing in the agricultural, mechanical and indus? trial arena, and we hope 'that there will be a lengthy list of competitors from ibis section of the State. Any of our friends wishing to examine the premium list can do so by applying at this office. The Fair takes place during the second week in November, beginning on the 10th and en? ding on the 12tb day of that month. AGRICULTURAL FAIR. The Executive Committee of the Farmer's As? sociation have determined to hold a Fair at this place during the latter part of November. Full particulars will be given in our next issue. The Executive Committee need money to carry out the intentions of the Association. A large number have not yet paid the initiation fee, and this alone would materially assist the object pro? posed. But to make the premium list respectable and worthy of the name, other contributions arc accessary. Such as feel disposed can hand in their namrs and money to this office, and we be? lieve that every one in the town will be afforded an opportunity privately to assist in this matter. As a matter of duty, the initiation fee ought to be paid without delay. Farmers, aid your society, and make it prosperous and effective!

Secretarj' Boutwcll is strenuously opposing the proscriptive policy of the administration to? wards Dent and Hamilton, the Conservative candi? dates for Governor in Mississippi and Texas. He urges that this policy, if persisted in, will infalli? bly give the Democracy the control of the entire South at no distant day. For the Anderson Intelligence*. SAILS0AD. MEETING.. Anderson C. H., S. C, Oct. T8G9: la response to. the call issued, by a. number of citizens, & large and influential' meeting* was held in the Court House this day, "to lake into consid? eration, the propriety, ot aiding in the construction of the Air Line Railroad," with the view of secu? ring its location through our commercial centre, according to the original charter of the Road. On motion of D. M. Watson, Esq., the Hon. Juraes L. Orr was requested to act as Chairman of the meeting, and James A. Hoyt ns Secretary. Upon taking the chair, Judge Orr made a brief and forcible speech, indicating the great impor? tance of the Air Line Railroad, and pointing out its probable benefits to this section of the country. In view of the efforts making elsewhere, Judge Orr urged prompt and liberal measures on the part of the citizens of Anderson towards securing its loca? tion through this county. When his remarks were concluded, the meeting was declared ready to re? ceive any propositions relating to the object in view Thereupon, Hon. J. P. Reed submitted the fol? lowing preamble and resolutions: Whereas, from the partial location and pro? gressive construction of the "Georgia Air Line Railroad," in the direction of Anderson, South Carolina, and from certain speculative reconnois s.inces of a route for the "Air Line Railroad in South Carolina" near its western border, which have been and are now being made, the time seems to have arrived when the people of the town and county of Anderson, who are geographically and by the terms of the charter directly on the line of the great contemplated interior highway from the North to the South and Southwest, should arouse themselves from their apparent lethargy, and re? sume their ancient public spirit, determination and liberality in the development of the resources and and prosperity of the Slate, by the constructior of Buch works of internal improvement as are neces? sary to that end: And Whereas, we regard the proposed "Air Line Railroad" as one of the grand? est enterprises that has yet been conceived, look? ing to the interests of upper Georgia and Carolina, of the Southern Slates, and of the whole country, North and South ; Be it therefore Resolved, That the people of the town and county of Anderson, notwithstanding the reticence heretofore observed by them, have been aud are still alive to the great importance of the early con? struction of the Georgia and South Carolina "Air Line Line Railrotid," from Atlanta, Ga., to the Savauah River, and thence by the most favorable and direct route over the territory of this State to a connection with the North Carolina railroads. Resolved, That we are delighted to hear of the actual progress that is being made upon the Atlanta end ot the Georgia portion of the work; of the partial reconnoissances for a route which have been made near the western border of this State ; and of the energy and determine.tion displayed by Col. A. S. Buford, the distinguished President of the united Companies?in whose good faith and ability we have the most perfect confidence?to? wards the early construction of the contemplated railway. Resolved, That the authorities of the Company be requested to proceed as early as practicable to make an actual survey of the most direct and fa? vorable route, as contemplated by the charter, from the Savannah River to the town of Anderson, and thence across the territory of this State to the North Carolina line; and upon the completion of such survey, that our people be called upon and opportunity given them of contributing tothecon construction of the work in lands, labor or other? wise, as provided by law. Resolved, That the people of the county and town of Anderson bland ready to redeem any pledges made in their behalf, and to do their whole duty towards the construction of tho "Air Line Railroad in South Carolina," according to the let? ter and spirit of its charter; and this meeting recommends that a county subscription of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars (S200.000) be made to the capital stock of the Company, upon such con? ditions and payable in such wav as shall be agreed upon, and that the town of Anderson, in its cor? porate capacity, subscribe the further sum of Fif.'y Thousand Dollars. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be forwarded to the President of the Company, and that they be published in the Anderson and Atlan? ta papers. In supporting this preamble and resolutions, Mr. Reed made an earnest and effective speech, detailing the history of the enterprise from its in? ception to the present time, and impressing the audience with the necessity for action on the part of the citizens of Anderson. He was frequently applauded, and evidently gained the most decided approbation of his hearers in his advocacy of the initiatory measures proposed by him. It was plainly indicated that his eloquent appeals fell not unheeded, and that the large and intelligent au? dience were in full sympathy with the progressive spirit and tenor of his remarks. The resolutions and preamble were then sub? mitted to the meeting by the Chairman, after hav? ing been seconded,-and they were adopted respec? tively without a dissenting voice. And on motion, it was ordered that the word "unanimously" be inserted. Dr. W. C. Brown proposed to make one of a hundred persons to subscribe $500 each, at the proper time, to the capital steck of the Air Line Railroad. This proposition was accepted by Maj. G. W. Cox and othjrs, and there were indications that a large private subscription will be obtained when the Road is located and the books opened. On motion, the meeting adjourned. JAMES L. ORR, Chm'n. James A. Hott, Secretary. EXTENSIVE LAND SALE. The lands belonging to the Eslate of the late Wm. L. Keith arc advertised to be sold at Walhal? la on saleday in November next, and we beg to refer our readers to the advertisement in another column. The following description of ihe princi? pal tract is copied from the Keowee Courier : The Cheohee place has always been regarded as one of the most desirable farms in the up country It consists of one of the Indian reserve tracts, of one mile square or 040 acres, and a number of adjoining tracts, surveyed and platted in one tract of over 2,400 acres. It is situated on the head waters of Little River, twelve miles north east of Walhalla, and contains from two to three hundred acres of rich bottom land, with substantial im? provements, and in a state of thorough cultivation. The North extremity of the tract covers the eastern slope of the mountains, affording the finest stock range in the Slate The boitom is well dried, free from stumps and we'll adapted for cultivation by machinery. The soil is suilcd to the grasses and in this period of scarcity of labor, slock growing could be made highly profitable by any energetic person. This place has been noted for thirty years as the bed of precious metals. De? posit Gold is found on every part of it, nnd in lime past much of it has been worked with profit under the old imperfect system ol the Ro-ker. Several quartz veins have been opened ?n tho place since the war containing gold visible to the naked eye, but the real richness o<" these veins have not been tested for want of capital to operate with. A vein in two hundred yards of this place has been worked profitably by Mr. Lay, nnd the blossom of minerals is to be seen in every direction over the whole surface, and in every rock. The future of the up country is growing bl ight, and the time will come quickly, wheu this place will prove a source of wealth to the owner. We do not ask persons to be satisfied with our stotements, but as they have time, let evtry one who desires to invest money profitably come or send and examine this valuable grain, stock and mineral farm, in either ot which characteristics, it must prove remunera? tive. It will be sold "on time," and on the same day a large number of other tracls of valuable land belonging to the same estate. PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY. i SEPTEMBER TERM, 1869. -To His Honor James Ij. Orr, Presiding Judge : The Grand Jury beg leave respectfully to pre? sent : That they havo examined the Court Mouse and jail. They find that the-jail is well kept, and the prisoners in every respect well provided for, ex? cept that an additional supply of blankets is abso? lutely necessary to promote the comfort of its in? mates. They recommend that these be at once fur? nished. There are some leaks in the roof of the jail that should be stopped, some brick out of the outer wall that should be replaced, and some glass out of the windows that should be put in. The fence around the jail lot should be at once rebuilt, and the mea^-house securely underpinned. The Court House is generally in good repair, except that some of the locks are totally insufficient and new ones should be at once supplied. The Grand Jury also recommend that a suitable iron safe be at once supplied for the Clerk's office, and thai, a complete set of the Statutes at Large of South Carolina be furnished to the same office as soon as possible. I The Grand Jury present that the roads of the County are generally in very bad condition. True, some of them have been partially worked, and it is known that work upon others has been post? poned to a more favorable season. It is recom? mended that the County Commissioners take im? mediate measures to have all the roads in the County worked out according to the old law, in accordance with the opinion of the Attorney Gen? eral of the State. And in this connection, the Grand Jury beg to state that they unanimously concur in opinion that the long established plan of working the roads by the labor of inhabitants, assessing such taxes only as are requisite to con? struct bridges and make other permanent improve? ment?, is far preferable to the expensive and inconvenient plan contemplated by the township law. They are aware that the township Bystem has worked well in other States having a very dense, thriving, and to a large extent manufactu? ring and artizan population. But with our sparse agricultural population, and especially at this time when our people are burdened with a taxation per? haps necessary to the restoration of the credit and prosperity of the State, it is believed that the township system will prove unnecessarily burden? some and oppressive. By re:urning to the old sys? tem, enough public-spirited citizens will be found to discharge the duties of County Commissioners, and keep the highways in proper repair, without the slightest cost to the people. It is therefore re? spectfully recommended that the township law be repealed, and that the old system or some other equally simple and economical plan be adopted for working the public highways. The Grand Jury beg leave further to present that their experience during the present term has satisfied them that the present mode of adminis? tering the criminal law is likely to become an in? tolerable grievance. This results in a great meas? ure, either from the indiscretion or the inordinate love of gain of the magistrates of the County, in instituting prosecutions for the most trivial and insufficient causes, and in binding over hosts of un? necessary witnesses. These witnesses, as the law now stands, are entitled to one dollar per day each, and the indications are that to become a witness in a State case is an object of anxiety on the part of many idle and thriftless persons, who look to the costs as a source of income. This disposition tends to stir up strife without cause, and is rapid? ly encumbering the dockets of the Court of Ses? sions so that their sittings must become almost perpetual. The first remedy in point of importance that the Jury would recommend is the repeal of the law allowing compensation to witnesses in criminal causes. True, it would seem hard that a citizen should be compelled to attend the Court for perhaps a week at a time without compensation. But every citizen owes something to the State that protects him in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and there is no way in which he can bet? ter satisfy the obligation he is under than by an unrewarded attendance upon the Court to testify against public offenders. If such service is a bur? den, it is one that will work equally upon all and none will have cause to complain. Persons in? stead of seeking to become witnesses would seek alike to avoid the position and the causes that will compel them to it. In addition, the Jury would recommend that some measures be taken if in the the power of the Court or Legislature to restrain magistrates from issuing cases of such trivial im? portance as to be unworthy of public investigation, and from unnecessarily multiplying witnesses in such cases, greatly to the public prejudice. The Grand Jury beg leave in conclusion to congratulate the Court and the people on the general quiet, good order and faithful ob? servance of the laws that prevails and has pre? vailed in the County for the last two or three years. Acide from the increase of petty thefts and misde? meanors there have been fewer violations of the criminal law, and especially of atrocious offence.", than was ever known during any equal period of our previous history, and vre have reason to hope that the reign of passion and prejudice is over, and that if sober judgment and wise counsels are permitted to prevail, that we will henceforth en? joy peace, prosperity and happiness as a people. A committee of our body has visited the County Parish or Poor House, and find that the Steward iu charge discharges his duty faithfully, and the paupers are well provided for and well satisfied. Some repairs are needed on the Steward's house; lofts are wanted in some of the cabins, and repairs about some of the hearths. Some of the cabins also need re-covering, and additional blankets with cloth for bed-ticking, and winter clothing should be at onco provided. The establishment would be better if another milk cow and a cooking stove were provided, but these matters the Grand Jury desire to submit to the judgment ot the County Commissioners. All of which is respect folly submitted. G. W. COX, Foreman. Administrator's Sale.
