Pratt, of Abbeville, says that dnring the six days of Christmas week there ( were $3,780 spent in that town for whiskey. Governor Hagood has appointed Dr. P. H. E. S. oan, of Pendleton, and Mr. J. H.

The finest pair of mules brought to this place in a long time were sold to Capt. W. T. Daan, of Varennes township, by Mr. Jim Catlett, of Tennessee, on Monday. In consequence of the bad condition of the roads there has been very little cotton in town this month. The price has declined from Hi to 11 cents the past week. Messrs. R. B. A. Robinson and J. 6. Clinkscales, of this County, have been ap? pointed aides-de-camp on the staff of Gov. Hagood, with the rank of Lieutenant Colo? nel. Capt. John Dickinson, of Hopewell, one of the aged and most highly respected citi? zens of the County, gives it as his opinion that the present winter has been the sever? est since 1835. Mr. J. A. Lafoy, of Volcano, W. V., paid I us a pop call on Friday last He is a native ] of this County, but has lived in West Vir- j ginia for a number of years, where he is prospering and growing rich. The people of Bel ton turned over a new leaf at the beginning of the new year, and j the first good thing they did was to elect a "dry ticket" and close up the bar-rooms. The temperance wave is gaining force. The merchants are receiving and storing away large quantities of commercial fertil? izers in anticipation of a good business in that line this spring. If they are disap? pointed it will be the first time in our recol? lection. Six more persons joined the Temperance Division last Thursday night, among them ? our two "devils." Every person now con? nected with the IsTrLLiGEscEB, including the colored pressman, is a member of a * temperance order. The regular quarterly meeting of Pomona' ? Grange of this County will be held at An? derson at 11 o'clock a. m. on the first Satur? day in February next. Besides the election of officers other very important business will be before tbe Grange. A commercial reporter who was in town a week or ten days ago. in conversation with one of our citizens, said that he found the merchants of Anderson in better standing financially than those of any other town of the same size in the South. Mr. George McClure lost $120 in town last Saturday, but was fortunate enough to re? cover the entire amount from John Davis, a colored man, on Wednesday, who claims to have found the money on the public square Saturday afternoon. The entertainment of tbe Palmetto Min? strels on Tuesday was well attended consid? ering the Inclemency of tbe weather. Tbe performance was very good, the apprecia? tion' of which by the audience was fully attested by frequen t applause. The Willlamston Female College-"opens on Monday, 7th February. In pt> t of merit it is the equal of any Female Coit'?ge in Sonth Carolina, and we hope will tinne to prosper. Dr. Lander may well be ? proud of his institution of learning. The Edgefleld Advertiser estimates the cotton crop of that County at 40,000 or 45, ? 000 bales, and says that at least 2,000 of that amount is yet in the field. If we thongbt tbe farmers of Anderson County were that lazy we would be ashamed to tell it. Hon. B. F. Cray ton bos been invited to visit southwest Georgia and make speeches on the stock law, and we understand has accepted the invitation and will go in a week or ten days to perform the good work, from which no doubt beneficial results will flow. .A correspondent in this issue, over tbe Signatare of "Low Taxes," strikes at the Town Council about the section in the sup? ply ordinance recently adopted providing for the publication of the amount of per? sonal property returned for taxation by each citizen of the town. Mr. Ezra Robertson, of Edgefleld County, went to Cokesbury recently, and on bis re? turn home narrowly escaped being drowned while crossing a small stream four miles from that place. He was driving two horses, both of which were drowned, and his car? riage completely wrecked. Will Anderson County always be behind in the matter of cotton factories ? There- is enough of money lying idle in this County i to establish a factory with a capital stock of E. or more* Where is tbe man that t take the matter in hand and make a icessof it? faj. F. Melcbers, of Charleston, has been tbe up-country recently prospecting for d on which to settle 800 Menonites whom hopes to bring to this State in the spring, prill take about 100.000 acres of wild land jettle them comfortably, and efforts are . now being made to clear the titles of some property, all in one body, for them. Dr. S. M. Orr and Mr. E. P. Sloan have entered into a copartnership under the firm ^nanie of Orr & Sloan, for the purpose of Conducting a drug business, and are now re 'ceivfag their goods and opening them out In the store room in the Ben3on House Bonding recently vacated by Simpson, - Beid&Co. They are both live and ener? getic young men, and deserve a liberal pat? ronage by our pepole. See their advertise? ment, aad give fchem a call. Miss Lizzie Williams has purchased the interest of Mr. A. M. Guy ton in the Ladies' Store, and is now sole proprietor of that es? tablishment. Bhe Is one of the best busi? ness ladies in the State, and by her superior talent and tact has built up an excellent business, which is extending every season. Anderson Grange will meet on the first Saturday in February at 9} o'clock a. m. for the transaction of important business, and the installation of the following officers elect: J. W. Nords, W. M.; J.

The town of Laurensville on Tuesday of last week elected a "dry ticket" by a large majority, and the Herald is jubilant over the result. Laurensville has certainly done well, and has Bet an example for the other ?towns in the State that many of them will doubtless follow. The Herald estimates- the gross sales of the seven bar-rooms of the town for the past year at $56,000, of which not less than $20,000 were profits. The firm of Sloan & Seignious, cotton factors and commission merchants in Charleston, has been cbVolved, and Col. JT. B. B. Sloan has associated with himself as his partner his son, Mr. Louis F. Sloan, under the firm name of J. B. E. Sloan & Son. The members of the new. firm are well known, and have many friends in Anderson County. Both the senior and junior, members of the firm are thorough business men and gentlemen of high char? acter. We wish them much success. On Tuesday night next, the 25th instant, our citizens will have an opportunity of hearing Prof. "VVilloughby Eeade in his humorous entertainment. All may attend without hesitation, for no word will be ut? tered that can offend the most fastidious. He Is very highly spoken of by the Press everywhere he has been. He is the peer of Sol. Smith Russell, and unquestionably one of the best humorists before the American people. Rare enjoyment is in store for all who attend. Admission 50 cents, children half price. Money matters generally have been easier in this County this season with all classes and conditions of our people than ever be? fore, and nearly everybody who has made any effort at all have been able to settle off their accounts and begin the new year with money on hand. This is a most gratifying condition of things, and with a few more years of such plentiful harvests and com? mendable frugality on the part of farmers and all others as has marked the year just closed, we will have the wealthiest and most prosperous section in the South. Speaking of the suggestion of Senator Cray toe's name in connection with the Governorship, the Abbeville Medium says: "Mr. Crayton is a man advanced in years, and stands high as a business man and ex? perimental farmer. He is no politician, and if he is our next Governor it will be one instance in South Carolina of the 'office seeking the man.' One obstacle in Mr. Cray ton's way is the fact that be lives in the up-country, which will not exactly snit the 'ring.' We have not examined his record and do not know how much can be said against him; but if be actually re ns he will find out before he is elected that the best of men are not free from newspaper comment. We wish him good luck." The specimens of coal from Anderson County, examined by the Department of Agriculture and referred to in our last issue, were gathered by Prof. A. C. Lau^hlin from the plantation of Mr. P. A. Masters on Seneca River. Last week Prof. Laughlin, representing the Commissioner of Agricul? ture, made a contract with Mr. Masters whereby it is expected to examine the vein, and if found valuable to work it to its full capacity. Since this subject has been op specimens of Anthracite coal have been forwarded to the Commissioner from the vicinity of Poor Mountain, in Oconee coun? ty, and it will be looked into also. We fear that no valuable discoveries will be made, though Col. Butler thinks it is proba? ble a considerable quantity of coal exists in the upper portion of the State. The find? ing of these specimens in the same region of country would indicate the correctness of his opinion. If discovered the mines would prove extremely profitable to their owners and of general advantage to the whole conn try and State._ The Propagation of Fish. Messrs. T. B. Lee, B. F. Crayton and E. B. Murray have each received some German Carp from the Department of Agriculture in this State, which they propose trying to propagate, the former in his mill pond and the two latter in private ponds near their residences. This fish is a new kind, which is attracting a great deal of attention just now. A recent article upon the subject says: "Professor Baird, of the United States Fish Commission, looks for important re salts from the introduction of the carp, which occupies the same position among fish as poultry does among birds and as sheep and pigs do among mammals. Carp readily consume corn, kitchen refuse, cab? bage leaves, squashes and melons. The same amount of vegetable matter fed to carp will make twice as much flesh as when given to chickens or swine; besides, it is equally palatable. Several improved races of carp from Hungary and Bohemia have been introduced here by the commission. They have increased very rapidly, and within a year over 3,000 persons with pri? vate ponds have been supplied. Among the specimens collected by the Smithsonian Institution is a carp which was sent to Texas last April, at which time it was 4 inches in length. It was brought back De? cember 1, measuring 20 inches in length and weighing five pounds. A still greater growth is represented by three specimens of the same original size, sent to Georgia also in last Apiii, which, when caught a few weeks ago, measured 21, 23 and 25 inches respectively."

Mb. Editor : It is respectfully suggested that the opinion of our Town Warden re? ferred to in your local last week, in regard to the effect of advertising our taxpayers, is liable to several objections. First. An increase of sixty per cent, will increase the tax levy in the sane ratio, and the taxpayer pays the same at last. Second. The cast of advertising our tax? payers will be large, and increase the taxes that much more. Third. It advertises to the world the pov? erty of someof our best citizens, who, with? out any fault ot their own, are made to feel keenly the publication of their names side by side with their more fortunate neigh? bors. Fourth. It subjects the more wealthy to unjust criticism from the fact that their wealth is always over estimated by others; and they generally own bank stocks, which are returned by the banks, and are holders of State bonds and United States bonds, not subject to taxation. I Fifth. It may cause some of our good cit? izens to estimate their little world's goods at high rates to cover thei. misfortunes and mortification, and thus do themselves and families injustice. Sixth. It is questionable not only as to the propriety of such publication, but per? haps the legal right to expose to the world the private affair* of the citizens and the use of their names thus publicly without their consent. Lastly. It is suggested that the best remedy for the evil complained of is to bring to bear economy in administering the affairs both of the town and State, and have low taxa? tion, so that the fear of frauds and perjuries may be without cause; and tbe good time again come, as before tbe war, when the taxpayer can go to the receiver and give in bis property, pay bis taxes without com? plaint, or send it to the collector by bis little boy with tbe amount on a slip of paper, and do away with the army of officers with tbe array of expenses now attending it. Such at least are some of the views of one who favors Low Taxes. Card of Thanks. Me.
