'Mr. Robert Pickens departed this life on Thurs? day, 2nd of November, in the 77th year of his age. He retired at the customary hour on r-Wednesday night in his usual health, but was aroused about one o'clock by some disturbance ? m the hp use. and upon going back to bed, re? marked to his wife that he felt a little unwell. Two or three hours later, Mrs. Pickens awoke, and failing to receive any response to her en ? 'qumes, she soon ascertained that life was ex tiacL It is supposed that he died from heart disease, and that he never experienced any se? vere pain, but succumbed to the grim monster ; os if dropping into gentle slumber. Mr. Pickens . had been a member of the Methodist Church from, early youth, and had always lived consist? ently with his professions. He was born and reared upor. the place where he died, and bad .never lived elsewhere. His father's birthplace, and settled by his grandfather, both of whom were named Robert Pickens, the old homestead Has never belonged to a person of any other name. Mr. Pickens was twice married, and was,the father of eighteen children, seventeen of reborn lived to be grown, and ten of them ore now living. He was an intelligent and up 'fTghtT?tizcn, and greatly respected by all who knew him. Our State Finfifices. \ For the past ten days, there has been jgreat exeitea^ntiB fmaucialcircles over the report? ed fraudulent issue of South Carolina bonds. The allegations el the New York World, as originally made, are published in* this issue. That paper has followed up these declarations with other and stronger accusations against the State officers. Gov. Scott and Treasurer Par? ker attempted an explanation of the printing of such an unusual amount of bonds, and ad? mitted that $20,204,000 had been printed, but declared that there was no intention to increase the State debt, and that $9,000,000 had never bejen^igued or^issued^. Admitting, as^true all that their. explanation claims, the facts thus presented appear to sustain the allegation that there is an over issue of bonds, but to what ex? tent no one' can rightfully conjecture, unless there was a full exhibit of the State's finaneei, which will never be accorded by the present administration, we fear. Wo thiak it' proba? ble that, since the new bonds have taken such a fearful leap downwards, that enough has been purchased: at the lowest figure by the Sing financiers to enable them to retire a part of the over issue from market In this view of the case, it becomes possible for these ma? nipulators of the State credit to hide their de? falcations, especially when the taxes are forced to be paid within a very short time, which might enable them to redeem, bends now under hypothecation and begini anew their little game. In the meantime, the State credit is impaired, and bankruptcy seems inevitable. Various remedies are suggested to relieve the State of this financial. embarrassment Repu? diation is relied upon by some persons, and it 'is announced that a caucus of colored men solemnly agreed in Columbia to repudiate the entire bonded debt of the State, old and new The Charleston News advocates the non-pay? ment of taxes, until a trustworthy exhibit is made of the entire liabilities of the State, and until satisfactory guarantees are given that the people's money will be legitimately applied. 1 We are not yet prepared to advocate repudia? tion) of an? past of the State debt lawfully con? tracted, nor do? we think it advisable to refuse 'payment of County taxes, and it would be difficult to dissever this from the State levy* But we think there is a way to stop this shame? less plundering of an oppressed people. Once establish the guilt of the parties concerned in the over-issue of bonds or other fraudulent ?.transactions, and then, apply legal, remedies, 'such as ferreted out and brought to grief the ! wholesale robberies in Neir York city. Let j the Executive Committee of the Taxpayers* Convention take this matter in hand, and get hold of the right' parties, have them arrested by legal process, brought to trial for their mis? deeds, and thus strike at the root of the evil. Enough is known at this time to place nearly all connected with the State government in the Penitentiary, and a movement of the kind in? dicated might reveal the whole series of un? lawful transactions, by which millions of dol? lars have been filched from the pockets of the 'people. The Collection of Taxes. Next Monday is the day fixed to begin the collection of State and County taxes, and an official notice from the State Auditor appears I in this issue, declaring among other things that ! the penalties prescribed by law wilt be strictly I enforced on and after the 15th of January next Upon all delinquents. The State Auditor as , serts, upon the authority of Gov. Scott, that the last named official only agreed to suspend the penalties for non-payment in those counties where sea island cotton in grown, while the en? tire State has been ander the impression that no penalty would attach until the 1st of March. This impression was create-:! by the proceedings of the Taxpayers' Convention, and on reference to that document, we find it distinctly an? nounced in a report made by Gen. M. C. But? ler, that his Excellency "requested them to re? port to the Convention that he would authorize the Comptroller to suspend the collection of taxes in all cases where-the payment thereof was inconvenient to the tax payers. ! That this postponement shall extend to the first of March, 1372, and thai the penalty for non-payment should not be enforced in the mcantene" Now, this report of Gen. Butler was submit* ted to the Taxpayers'Convention on the 12th day of May last, just six months ago, and not one word has ever been intimated that the ex? act meaning of the Governor was not clearly understood and reported by Gen. Butler's Com? mittee. The lapse of time and acquiescence of Gov. Scott in the declarations made in this report, attest the troth of every word it contains in reference to his pledges on the subject of collecting taxes, at least But circumstances have changed, and now that it is necessary to supply a depleted Treasury, in order to save Gov. Scott and his associates from bankruptcy and ruin, the State Auditor is made to deny that any such "general promise7* was ever made by his Excellency 1 We knew that Gov. Scott had been frequently charged by his political friends with an easy disregard of truth and his own promises, but we must confess that this official acknowledgment of utter and reckless falsehood takes us by surprise. No sane man will doubt for a moment, after an examination of the facts, that Gov. Scott pledged himself to Gen. M. C. Butler and other gentlemen of. the Taxpayers' Convention, that he would suspend the penalty for non-payment of taxes until the 1st day of March. The State Auditor declares, in behalf of his Excellency and in the face of the record, that such promise was never made, and that the penalty will be enforced on and after the 15th of January. Such shameless duplicity is in keeping with the character as? cribed to his Excellency by his brother carpet? baggers, and hereafter the people of South Carolina will know what is meant by "Gov. Scott's word and honor." The State Fair. The third annual Fair of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society took place in Columbia last week, and proved eminently successful, as we learn from parties in attend? ance. The auxiliary joint stock association re? ceived a new impetus, the sum of 15,000 being subscribed, and it is contemplated to raise $100, 000. The efficient and able Secretary, Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, has been appointed to canvass the State for subscriptions of stock. t&~ The Governor has appointed Joseph Cox, Esq., Deputy Surveyor for Anderson County. " I Annual Meettncf of the* Farmers* Associ :\ ?; ation. The annual meeting of the Anderson Far-i mere' Association has been called for next Sat-! urday, 18th of November, and every member of the Association and all persons fovorabJe.to the enterpjiseyonght\> be in attendance. The Association has been in existence nearly four years, and its annual fairs have been constantly increasing in interest and importance. By careful and prudent management, the Associa? tion has been kept in sound financial cbndftlon, and through the exertions and liberality of;] those connected with recent; eifortV to\tt"sej -*Qnev^fQr.tbe. erection oC.biuUdjnj&Utvls^c^ fidently believed i that a handsome sum. will be at the disposal of the Association when it meets next Saturday. Last winter it was determined that a joint stock company should be organized, and committees were appointed in the various townships to solicit subscriptions of stock.? The members of these committees are expected to report to.theannual meeting, and we hope, that a favorable response will bo made.,'. But we would urge every one to attend the annual meeting, and be prepared to take .stock in' the Association, so that the future success and per? manency of the enterprise might be fully as? sured. Besides the privileges obtained by be? coming a stockholder, we have no doubt as to the profitable nature of the investment, as there is every reason to expect handsome dividends. The Association must be placed on a permanent I and enduring basis, and we are fully satisfied [ that the joint stock principle is the.only true method of obtaining this permanency; as it j will at once secure fair grounds and suitable | buildings. . ?'mi''" " State Survivors'Association, This body of gallant men assembled in Co? lumbia last week.

' ?? b b i? Sale of the Greenville Railroad. It is announced that the South .Carolina Railroad has purchased a sufficient amount of ] stock to obtain control of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The in terest of the "Ring," we suppose, which amounted to. fifty thousand shares, constitutes the purchase. We have fre- - quently heard rumors to this effect during the present year, and doubtless negotiations to this end have been pending for many months, but the information about the actual sale cornea to us in such a shape that we think it may be re? lied upon that the Greenville and Columbia Railroad has again changed hands.' It"Tb a matter of congratulation, in our opinion, that the South Carolina Railroad obtains this con? trol, and that the people of the up-countr^ will enjoy a continuous, uninterrupted line of com? munication with onr principal seaport' We wish the new combination every imaginable success. - , '".

Its busi? ness Bhows a large and healthy increase over that for the corresponding period of last year, and will doubtless continue on in as favorable a ratio nntil the close of the year. The man? agement of this Company has been from the first very able and conservative. It has lent itself to none of tho cheap and tawdry devices for getting present business at the expense of future insolvency. We believe that the Com? pany has pursued from the outset a very just and fair policy in its dealings with its Policy Holders, and to this it is doubtless largely in? debted for the popularity which it enjoys.? Ex? tract from the Insurance Spectator of October, 1871. Nov 16, 1871 20 8 Be Guided by what yon Knew/* There is an old proverb which says, "Expe? rience is the safest guide." To this guide the sick and ailing naturally turn when casting about for tho means of relief. They enquire what a medicine has done for others, before they adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies and preventives in use, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters meets the test most triumphantly, and hence its immense popularity and vast sales. The suf? ferer from indigestion is sure to find some one among his friends who has been cured of this ailment by the famous vegetable stomachic. The victim of fever and ague, liver complaint, constipation, nervous prostrationt or general debility, has only to make inquiry in the neigh? borhood where he resides in order to disix>ver what this standard restorative has effected in cases, similar to his own. In tho published tes? timony to its merits he will find a volume of proofs of its sanitary properties, which it is im? possible for his common sense to resist. He tries it, and the effect it produces on his system ad da another to the host of witnesses in its favor. Thus, its reputation, founded, on facts, not as? sertions, continually grows and spreads. Char? latans and impostor's, some of them mere local tricksters, and others who take a somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands and down the throats of invalids, their hap? hazard concoctions, as substitutes for tho tonic which for so many years has been a medicinal staple throughout the United States, Spanish America, Canada, and the West Indies, but only succeed to a limited extent. In this reas? oning age, the people, having ascertained what is really deserving of their confidence, decline "running after strange gods." Manufacturing Entkbpiusjb in Charles? ton.?Charleston is fast becoming a manufactu? ring as well as a commercial city. The largest manufactory of doors, sashes, blinds, Ac, in the Southorn States is that of Mr P P Toale, on Horlbeck's Wharf in that city, sales rooms at No 20 Ilayno street.
