Ia view of the fact that everything is now much cheaper thin it has been in tlie past, we have decided to furnish our subscribas with tho INTELLIGENCER at One Dollar and Fifty Cents a year, if paid in advance, or Two Dollars if pit id at the end of the year. lu doing this we not intend to reduce ino shea of our paper, nor to pay less at tention to it, but will endeavor to make it better than it has been heretofore, and hope to receive large additions to our subscription list. Wo ought to have at least twenty-five hundred readers in An derson County, and hope that our friends will help us to secure that number verv soon. In making thia chaDge in price, we have put the paper down to the lowest possible margin, and must have the money in advanco. We could not afford to publish at this p/ico upon any other plan. We hope all of our subscribers will at once comu in and pay up their arrearages and renew at our reduced rate* for another year. The following gentle men are our authorized agents, and pay ments sade tc them will bc accredit^ I by us: Pendleton-Dr. P. H. E. Sloan. Equality-John M. Glenn. Helton-JOB. W. Poore. ITonta Pa*/*-M. T. Elgin. Pendleton Factory-H. P.Sitton. Col. James McCutchcn, tho Demo cratic nominee for the State Senate, has been elected to succeed Swails from Wil liamsburg County. The house has passed a bill requiring all executions of the death penalty to be i inposed privately. Wo hopo it will be come a law, as we believe good would result from ita enactment. J. W. Collins, tho Radical candidate .from Beaufort County, was elected to the I State Senate over Col. Wm. Elliott, the Democratic nominee, by moro thau one I thousand majority. The majority last year was over 8000. A great gain hus been made by the Democrats in this County._^_ Tho L?gislature has passed a r?solu* tion requesting the United States to es tablish a line of mail steamers between Charleston and the West Indies and South America. Tho petition hos been presented by Hon. T>. Wyatt Aiken, but Congress bas not so far-taken any action upon it. Mr. Cyrus H. Baldwin, formerly United States Treasurer at Charleston, bau been appointed Collector of the Port of Charleston, instead of tho notorious H. G. Worthington. This is a decided im provement in the personnel of the Col lector, but the political complexion is unchanged. The Legislature is discussing tho pro priety of imposing an additional tax upon the sale of liquors, and die Virginia plan of requiring tho Moffatt Registering Boll Punch to bo used by every har tender. Tho pinn is said to work well in Vir ginia, and to yield an immense revenu" '."> ilia Slate. It IB qu?t? p?pG'?r, ??d may bo adopted in this State. Senator Butler, it is said, apologises for Patterson's past sins, and thinks he ought to be forgiven for all on account of his .recent voto. Tbl? might dc ve?y well if our Senator was tho only party interested, but ns tho people of South Carolina havo been maligned, abused and pilfered by this roan and his tools, we think their Representatives should soe to it that de served punishment is meted out to him and all men Uko him. If tho people of Louisiana had, prose cuted and convicted Kellogg of the frauds charged against the Returning Board oi' that l? tate, b' would not have beon at burge to usurp a seat in thc Scunto, and itii?reprvT?nt the people who wore , over lenient to him. - The moral wo learn from this is, that a public criminal is enfer .within a prison wall 'han running at large. All can make thoir own appli cation of thia to Patterson's caso. \ RIDICULOUS PROCEDURE. Tho Senate created a committee on federal relations to help it out of tho re sponsibility of adopting or rejecting thc House resolution,. requesting Senator Butler to present th? testimony against. Patterson to tho United States Senate.

EDJTOH : During the past week ? more work was accomplished in thc lower House theo was ever accomplished \ in my experience. Thero appears to bo 1 a general desire to sink pernuna! opinion? ( to tho necessities of the people, and when au expression of opinion is reached after i due deliberation a ready acquiescence is accorded by ul). Thero io vcrv little, if any, rivalry upon the floor thc House between the several sections of tho State. Some newspapers, anxious to have cer tain purposes effected, are led to indulge in sentiment? or eicnrc*?!ons of opinions ,hielt have not a lodgmeut in the breasts of any of the members. I havo never seen legislation carried on with more regard to the rules of courtesy and liberality. Where there is a difference of opinion it is honestly ex pressed. To decide tho many vexed questions prevented, so as to best ad vance the restoration of the State nnd all of its citizens to their former prosperity, ?B tho un i ven al desire. That sere should bo differences of opinion is to be expected, ami that these differences should be earnestly advocated simply is in accordance with the tenacious make up of tho Assembly, and fortunato for us that such is the case, for without tenacity tho Wallace House might have been driven from ita policy, and many matters might have been disponed of without that doo consideration and investigation necessary to such truth. In this connection I will venturo to call attention to what appears to mo an important matter, a matter that deserves our most careful consideration. So long as tho heel of tho tyrant was upon our necks, our common sufferings carnied for getfulnesa of individual complaints or interests, but uow it is to be expected that the interests of the soveral classes ol tho people will gradually assume 'hoir nominal positions, and each will demand attention and consideration. Should thia consideration not bo accorded, dis satisfaction will bo tho result, and in thia lies the greatest danger threatening the futuro of the Democratic party. Liber ality and forbearance must bs practiced ' by all, else tho grand structura built up by our glorious campaign will go to pieces never again to be rehabilitated. Such a calamity, with our recent expe rience still fresh in our minds, is not 4to bo thought of. Freedom from corrup tion and radicalism must be, au hun been, the objective point of all true lovors of good government and tho permanent prosperity of ell our peoplo. Thero ?B j no donying tho fact that tho up-country ? has bsd ?iinon to compiuin of by reason of the policy pursued by tho low-country when it was in power, all of which was borne with dignified patience. In tho revolution of ovents it has been permitted tho up-country to show of what material its peoplo is composed of ; and, further, in our most trying hour tho destinies of the State was tr ro in tho hands of her people. With ti ^io facts stamped in delibly upon tho pages of history, tho up-country can afford to continue in tho future the same dignified and consistent course, and refuse to bo driven from tho broad and firmly grounded policy which showed forth so conspicuously in the memorable campaign, namely : tho re demption of the State of South Carolina, and nothing lesa. Tho up-country hos proven itself the peer of any country, not only lp thia Rtnte but in America, and j no additional act on its part is necessary | to'make this fact recognizable. There fore lot by-gonca be by-goncs, Let all remember we have a common destiny, and every effort to s amlize one sec tion at the expense of tho others but en dangers tho whole. Then ami only then cab wo realize that strength is so neces sary for our future plans and purposes. A great many bills have passed tho House, but as they yet have to poss the Senate, there ia no certainty that they will bo?o?uo low"^ oon?oqusutlv I will not enumerate them at this time. Tho Usury Bill passed the Senate at tho' extra session, aud its passage in tho House makes it a law. Tho effort to-re-enact tho lien --law failed signally, and th* large vote in op position jto ita rc-c-Mrtctnu-nt shows con clusively how universally distasteful tho old lien law was, .

But bread must bo made bone aud muscle as long as tho gene tion of mon endures. Nor ia this retrogression general universal.

Gran that these aro truthr : yet, already in . eastern tier of Staten, even in our nc peopled country, the renovating ayat bas necn found necessary. We begir realize'that if we would be supported 'our farms, and leave, on them any val ble possessions for posterity, we must a this prematura decay and rapid detei . ration.

Nature contribute* to production in proportion ?O area. ?She works with live hundred time* the potency on five hundred acres that she doe? on V ne acre. Our difficulty lies not in largeness of poss?dions, but in applying the proper methods.
