We continued to soe it tho three following nights, since which it has disanpeared. On thc first night it appeared larger than on tho two last seen. On tho afternoon and night previous to its boing seen we had much rain, accompanied by a continuous heavy storm of wind from thc mountain, which came in heavy gusts, with occasional light lolls of a few minutes between, and such a furious and long-continued storm was unknown hero before." THE CROPS.-WO hear complaints of thought prevailing in some portions of our District. Until within a short period the corn crop was consider? ed very fair, but fears aro entertained that it will be very materially injured, even if we should have seasons .n a few days. Tho cotton for thc most part is doing well.-Camden Journak TALL COTTON.-Rev. Harmon Jones (freedman), left at oin* office, a specimen of his cotton crop, on a lot in Camden, a cotton stalk measuring six feet jn height.-Camden Journal, FR03I THE NORTH. LETTEl: FROM G. W. W. NEW YORK, July 25.-Messrs. Ediion :-I am in this great city seeing what I can soe. Tho feeling hero toward tho peoplo'oi tho South is that of kindness and sympathy. They aro moro than anxious to seo tho old StatcB back again into the Union. They know their commercial and political value to tho wholo country, and they aro feeling keenly in their finances and trado tho effects of thc disorganization and anarchy which prevails at thc South. As soon as wc aro reconstructed, piillions of mon and money will pour into our impoverished land, and aid in building up our wa8t9 cities, and iu cultivating thc fields that aro now growing up in thorns and thistles. Now York comparatively is almost as duli as Charleston. Those who aro so fortunato as to have a fow hundred pounds of ster? ling have gone to tho Paris show; others have de? serted their comfortable homes, and are ' 'cotting" on tho 8oa sido, Saratoga or Niagara, leaving the town in tho possession ot the sharpors of both sexo?. 1 have novcr seen so few people hore from tho South. Alas ! Confederate currency don't pay railroad fare and hotel bills. Tho wheels of com? merce soem8 to havo como to a dead lock in this groat metropolis. This state of thingB cannot last much longer without ruining two-thirds of the merchants. There have already been several fail? ures among tho dry goods houses in the jobbing and importing trade, and tho ond is not yet. The peoplo will have to look a little more closely into tho laws of political economy, and they will learn that fortunes aro not mado in a day, but by years of toil, labor and economy. The vast volumo of paper currency-the result of tho late war, filled the land with wild and reckless speculators. Tho doairo and facilities for making monoy rapidly found ita way among all classes and professions; fortunes woro made in a few months, and aro be? ing lost in as many days. Tho peoplo are realizing that '-riches have wings" even in New York, and "he that has to th to bo rich, shall not bo innocent." Tho tendency hero is for tho largo houses to monopolizo trade, and thereby crash the smaller. How much better it would bo tor tho city to have ono hundred hoasss sell in tho aggregate a hundred millions of dollars, than to have that amount of business ab? sorbed by STEWART andjCLAFLiN. STEWART bean boro with less than a hundrod dollars capital, and in forty years has become the richest man in America, if not in the world. It ia said his heart is as cold as the marble palaces in which he has amassed his colossal fortuno. Tis said no mer? chant in New York has boen so hard on his unfor? tunate Southern creditors as A. T. STEWART. Now York is one of the most expensive cities in tho world. There are a Diimb?r of houses here th at pay $50,000 per annum rent, and aa much more for clerk biro, personal expenses, etc. You can readily perceive what a large amount of business must bo dono to pay expenses. Rents aro enormously high, and yet there, are more houses '-to let" than has been known for years. The un gato banking capital of New York city is eighty-five millions of dollars, with liabilities amounting to three hundred and fifty millions ! A large amount of this money ia doe to individual depositeT, and country banks and bankers. These deposits aro loaned by the. banks on "call." If there should be a commercial panic, it would be like calling tho spirits from the vasty deep. The banks have less than ten millions gold, but not one dollar in ten of this sum belongs to them. So long as Government bonds are good, tho $33,000,000 circulation will be redeemed. I tell the financiers hore that if they don't want Sambo to voto for repudiation, they must take off the tax of 2h cents per pound on cotton and 40 cents on tobacco. Would the fai mere of the Empire State of New York stand such a tax on their wheat, corn, h av, etc. ? I think not. Why then impose this tax on the labor of the poor colored and white peoplo of the South? If there over was a time when they required light taxation, now ia the time, when they aro straggling for mere existence. The dtmmerce of this city is immense, and tho vast accumulation and concentration of capital here must ever make New York tho great commer? cial cou tre of America. The excessive imports at this city in 1866-66 resulted in heavy losses, not only to tho importers, but also to thoso who had large stocks on hand. The declino on many de? scription of goods was fifty per oent. Tho imports into New York from July 1865-66 was ono hundred and eighty millions of dollars ($180,000,000) against one hundred and forty million ($140,000,000) tho present year. Tho above figures represent gold valuations. When reduced to paper currency, with tho duties paid, of com so the amount is largely in? creased. The exports of domestic produce tho present fiscal year from New York was about one hundred and seventy-four million, currency value, and forty millions gold and bullion. Tho merchants and bankers horo aro looking with great interest to the industrial developments of the South. Want of capital is a great drawback to rapid progiesa, but what wo lack in capital should bo made up in industry and capital will flow into tho South as soon as recon? struction and confidence aro restored, but never while we remain in tho present distracted condi? tion. Then let our people push on reconstruction. Delay is fatal to our best interests. G. W. AV. [FOB TUE DAILY HEWS. | Afr. Editor.--I think you aro entitled to the gratitudo of every friend of bis country for tho manly, consistent; and straightforward manner in which you havo treated tho vexed question of re? construction. That patriotism ls cheap which finds its reward in tho ephemeral plaudits of tho unthinking multitude. Rut the man who, in the hour of peril, boldly steps forward, submitting to the scoffs, the jeers, tho derision of demagogues and their abettors, an i in the faco of public opposition and private inicrcat, proclaims his views on questions that agitate the'public mind and vitally affect tho public welfare, of tho sincer? ity of which the clamor they excito ia a sufficient guarantee, such a one indeed deserves well of the Republic, and particularly in those times, whon so few are found with tho moral courage to breast thc surges of popular passion. These are times that try men's minds, when the timid and time-serving skulk into corners out of public view, awaiting the turn of the tide, which they hope will bear them on to fortune ; and tho despairing make ono last desperate dtfort to regain their lost supremacy. But in such a crisis only men who can accommo? date themselves to the altered condition of things, who five in the present, whoso minda and affections arc not irrevocably weddod to old prejudices and past associations-only such aro proper to be trusted with the leadership. Let those who would perpetuato tho servi? tude of tho white man lather than re? linquish tho domination of tho black man, at least not endeavor by their example, thoir influ? ence and thoir teachings to sway tho minds of their fellow-citizens who aro more practically dis? posed. They cannot meet the public expectations, they cannot know the public wants, tho require? ments of tho times; the lesson taught by tho bitter experience of tho last six yeara they have yet to learn; they do not underatand that now isBuea have ariacn, iaaue8, too, on which wo cannot afford to be divided when every man is expected to dc his duty. Thoy take their stand on the old battle-ground and engage every foo, imaginar}' or real, who crosses their path, and being deprived of the light of past experience, which they ignore thoy are totally incapable of reading our future. In time8 of doubt and anxiety like the present, tho peoplo look to the public press for guidance and advico, and if, while all tho rest pander to tho popular passions and foster tho popular preju? dices, there bo found one with tho honesty, the integrity, the disinterested patriotism, to place beforo the peoplo their true interests in their proper light, ono who haa tho moral courage to show the people whero thoy err, and endeavor to Bet them right, unawed by power and unappallcd by fear, such a journal doaerves and has a right to expect the support of evory honest man. PUBLIUS. A WRITER D? THE Memphis Bulletin thus speaks of tho aermon of our anciont friend, Dr. T. O. SUM? MERS, at the Commencement of tho University of Mississippi, at Oxford: "The Commencement ser? mon waa preached by the ROY. Dr. SUMMERS, of Nashville, one of tho most accomplished pulpit oratora of tho South, and among the most eminent of her acholare. The subject was, 'Thc dignity and ucccsaiiy of labor,' and waa taken from a verse in tho Epistle of ST. PAUL to TITUS. It was very ably and elaborately discussed, and Theology, Philosophy and Poetry exhausted in its exnositional illustration. Tho field of Theology was swept from ST. PAUL to BEACHER-of Philoso? phy, from SOCRATES to HAMILTON-of Poetry, from HOMER to LONGFELLOW, and tho gems of earth and all scattered in munificent profusion, and with dazzling effect. Tho display of erudition was ap? palling to tho most of us, and we coidd but wish for tho presence of Edna Earl and her husband St. Elmo Murray, to enjoy tho rich feast with us, and to talk with them about it afterwards. But, ns it waa, wo were all profoundly impressed with the speaker and thc subject." J LETT KU PROM THE COUNTRY. LAOTIENS C. H., July 25th, 18C7. ii Mr. Edilor : I have a few words now to say concerning railroads and their influonco on and connections with the sections of our Stato through which thoy extend. I dosiro to interest tho Board of Trade in this matter, so that thoy may take ac? tive and practical measures, not by passing un? meaning and useless resolutions, but by moving with all their influence at ouco upon points which may be roached by them. Tho trade of Charles? ton is sapped at moro places than one, and in somo almost incredible ways, and if the process goes on much longer the trade of tho city will be limited in this Stato to a few middle Dis? tricts, with tho lower and portions of the south? west Districts. Tho policy of tho Wilmington and Manchester Company is to turn cotton, and consequently trade toward Wilmington. The tari? of freight loads to this of necossity. For instance, it costs about as much to send a halo of cotton from Sumter to Florence as it docs from Sumter to Wilmington. So too the charge from all way stations to Floreuce is quito enormous in proportion to the ratos to Wilmington, consequent? ly cotton w^uld all go to Wilmington were it not that the Northeastern Railroad Company reduced their rates from Florenco so that the delivery in Charleston may bo nearly as choap as to Wilming? ton. Tho consequence of ali this is that a great deal of the trade of Marlboro', Chesterfield, Mar? ion, Darlington and Sumter Districts, is turned from tho city because it finds choapor transporta? tion. Pass on to the lino of the Charlotte and Colum? bia Railroad, and we find a similar, if not a worse, state of things. Every inducement is offered in tho way o? cheap transportation, to carry trade through Charlotta to Baltimore and other Northern cities, via Norfolk, and now a very large part of tho business of Lancaster, Chester, Fairfield and York Districts is turned from its natural channels. No ono can imagino the oxtont of this diversion without going o'er tho ground carefully. Winus boro', which ought to be in close business rela? tions to Charleston, seeks her supplies and makes her shipments largoly through Norfolk, via Char? lotte Let mo give you one specimen of the freight tariffs by which this condition of things has been brought about. Tl ie Columbia and Char lotto Company chargo for freight on a bushel of corn from Columbia to Winnsboro' ton cents-a distanco of thirty-seven milos. The freight from Charlotte to Winnsboro'. seventy-four miles, ?B also ton cents. One of tho loading merchants of Winnsboro' told mo that ho had not been to Charleston sinco the war closed, and that all his trade was now with Baltimore, because he could lay his goods down cheaper than from Charleston. Passing now round to Laurens wc find, from Newberry, a wretched affair of a railroad of 82 miles in length, the average speed upon it being six miles an hour; and when we reach this placo which ought to command a largo trade, wo aro confounded on being told that the great bulk of the planters are hauling their cotton to Augusta, a distance of 76 miles, and that oven from 30 miles above and on towards the Spartonburg and Union Railroad the samo thing is done; and thus a great deal of the cotton and trade of Laurens, Spartan? burg, Abbeville, Anderson, Edgefield and Barn? well Districts is lost to Charleston. And tho peo? ple here say there can be no help for t his strange course of trade unless tho South Carolina, Green? ville and Laurens Railroad Companies will tako tho thins; in hand and apply the corrections. Our rail? road companies seem to think that trade must go over thom at any price they choose to charge, but this is a mistaken theory, and hundreds of thou? sands of dollars are annually lost to them and to Charleston by peraijting in it. The Board of Trade had botter appoint men to take this ma.ter up, investigate it and make a full report. A. B. C. Arrest for Distilling'. Captain Frauk Arnim was recentlv arrested in Hamburg, 8. C., and brought before Jamos Birnio, Esq., United States Commissioner at this place, on a charge of violation of tho Internal Revonue Laws in distilling spirituous liquors without a license at a vinegar distillery near Hamburg. After a preliminary examination before the Com? missioner, an order was issued requiring tho de? fendant (Arnim) to give bond, with good sureties, for his appearance at the next term of the United States District Court, to bo held in Greenville. He was unable to do so, and was committed to jail to await his trial. Messrs. Cramp and Davison, of the houso of Crump, Davison & Co., of Augusta, Ga., wore also arrested on the samo warrant, and carried beforo the Commissioner at Augusta, when thoy gave bond for their appearance at tho same term of thc Court.-Greenville Mountaineer. [From the Anderson Intelligencer.] LVTEBESITNO AND IMPOBTANT LETTEB.-Wo aro indebted to his Excellency the Governor for tho annexed communication of Commissioner Rollins, iu re?ard to tho largo numbor of stills that wcro seized by ono Capt, Arnim, in Piokons District. It will be seen that tho instructions of tho Com? missioner to the Revenue Collector are not to be be misunderstood, and those citizens not guilty of infringing tho law, who had their property forci? bly taken from them, may recover tho same at once. This valorous Captain Arnim, who croated tuen terror in our sister District by his vigorous raids on.defunct stillhouses, has been very proper? ly removed from the service, and, wo understand, has found a lodgment in thc common jail of Green? ville District. If wo aro rightly informed, tho Captain (?) has boen imprisoned under a warrant from thc '?vii authorities, and was placed in tho samo cell with another officer, whom ho had ar? rested for misconduct, after the prodntory excur? sions in tho Wolf Crock neighborhood. Tho ex official mado somo objections, but these scruples were overcome. Ho has now an excellent opportu? nity of ruminating upon thc instability of earthly power, and can reflect "how aro tho mighty fallen!"

A correspondent of tho Louisville Journal writes from New Orloans, ofter making a trip down tho Mississippi, as follows: In coming down tho river I made it my special business to obtain information in reforence to tho crops and tho freedmen, as well as tho situation gouerallv, and tho result is more favorable than I had anticipated. The corn crop was everywhere represented as virtually secured, and lo bo mag? nificent. There is a single field o* this valuable cereal in Bolivar county, Mississippi if G00O acres. Cotton was looking weil, but in som ocalitios the grass was growing, and the rains Bin must have mado it worse. The cotton crop dopent of course, upon tho part of tho soason yet future It is ad? mitted on all hands that, should tho wu -cr prove favorable, half a crop, as compared wi that of 18G0, will bo made, which at present or p is like? ly to rule, wul bring as much as a whole v p did beforo tho war. Thc hopes of the Southern "opie aro suspended, so to speak, upon a fair cu' ton crop. As tho prospect for this grows bright or gloomy, so will tho hearts of the tillers of the soil swoll with exultation or sink into something akin to despair. On some plantations that foo to thc crop, the worm hus appeared and his ravages aro dreaded. Tho worm flourishes tho most vigor? ously iu cold wot seasons. As wo took in and landed passengers at nearly eveivstopping placo, 1 had good opportunities to couverse with different classis of persons from the interior, and almost without exception found them cheerful and hopeful -moro so than I expected. Little interest iu politics seemed to bo taken. Tho subject, in fact, was rarely introduced, unless I did it myself. To tho question, how do the freed? men work ? tho answer generally was that they were doing well-much better than last year. Ou thc plantations of the Messrs. Hampton-Wade and Christopher-in Mississippi, tho frccdmon have half the crop, tho employers furnishing the supplies at a slight advance upon tho original cost. This appears to be the rule generally adopted. __ DISTRICT JUDGE.-Wo take pleasure in announ? cing that our esteemed townsman, Mr. Robert H. Wardlaw, has been appointed by his Excellency Govornor Orr District Judge for Abbeville, vice Judge A. C. Haskell, who resigned tho office upon his recent election to tho Professorship of Law in the State University. Tho appointment of Mr. Wardlaw was made at tho request of thc Abbeville Bar, and is tho moro gratifying on that account. Ho is well known to tho citizens of thc District as a gentleman of high character, of long experience with Courts aud tho forms of legal procedure, of clear judgment and busmoss habits, and will, no doubt, discharge the duties of his rosDonsiblo office with credit to himself and entire satisfac? tion to the community.-Abbeville Press. Jut CROPS.-Tho reports which wo havo arc very encouraging, and wo aro glad to bo able to stato !ha* the weather still continues very favor? able for tho growili of crops and vegetation. Dur? ing tho past week we havo had slight falls of rain in sonic portions of the District, but a little more rain would bo very beneficial. 1 Wo leam, however, that corn and cotton are doing as well ns could be expected under the circumstances. [Benni ils v ?Ile Herald, LETTER PROM NORTH CAROLINA. To the Editor of the Dn?y News : WOLTESVILLE, UNION Co?NTY, N. C., July 25. Farmors in thia county lastj-oar failed toraiso sufficient breadstuff's, and the past ecason baa been ono of siiffenng among the poor whites as well as blaoks; but tho present prospect for corn the ensuoing fa! is more gloomy than at tho samo season of hst year. The spring floods were continued nearly thrco weeks later, leaving low lands unplanted or drowned out, and every kind of crop in tho grose. Sinco tho floods abated the weather lias boen intensely bot and dry, the earth is dry and bard, and vegetation is dying in tho field. Cotton is looking better than corn, but most of that was injured by tho rains and tho grass. Tho wheat crop was moderately good; but without a material and speedy change in the as? pect of affairs for tho bettor, this section of coun? try is doomed to a greater destitution and suffer? ing than we have yet experienced. The gold mines being worked in this county givo employment to considerable numbers who could not otherwise survivo tho pressure of famine, but the high price of provisions, and the difficulties of transportation, render them less profitable than formerly, especi? ally as operatives cannot be secured without a cor? responding rise in wages. Gold is not bread, how? ever, and comparatively few are in a condition to break np from homo and dig in the earth. I am in a position to know that our people were all in favor of reconstruction upon thc basis of tho Military Bill ; but sinoo tho lrst meeting of Con? gress they aro at a stand-still, and we now bear tho Suestion ropeatcd with increasing emphasis every ay, "Is there any use in doing anything ?" Surely the men who express so much sympathy for tho Irishman, and are so horrified with Moxican cruel? ty, have forgotton that tuero aro human beings at tho South, excepting 01 ly Africans. Aro they not mad ? But who and whero is thc physician to ad? minister for thc removal of their malady ? W. Union Rcpnblican Convention. THIRD AND LAST DAY. (From fae Fhccnix) Tho Convention assemblod about half-past 10 o'clock. After prayer by Kev. David Pickett, the journal was road and confirmed. A communication was received from Mr. L.

He rudy endorsod the movoment, and re? gretted tho disruption of thc Union and tho lato bloody war consoquent. Tho lotter was filed among tho archives of tho Convention. President Gloavca announced tbat tho Conven? tion had proceeded thus far harmon-' >usly and pleasantly. All members had an opportunity of expressing themselves freely. They had Deon sent here, ho said, to establish a platform co? operating with the great Republican party of tho country. As tho ...orncr-etone of tho great struc? ture which they had laid was dono, alter invoking Divine assistance, he believed it bad been pat down so firmly that it novor could bo takon up. The platform adoptod was democratic, not aristo? cratic ; it was for tho benefit of tho poor man as well as the rich man. Stand up for tho platform. Tako up a man, not for his color, but for his ability. If a man is found incompetent, when his one-year term is out, upset him ; don't lot tho worm of corruption inj uro him, Organizo leaguos; induce every ono to attend. So act that, when oar State is again brought forward for admission to tho Uuion of States, she will be received with open arms. As education was tho great necessity, ho advised that one and all use their utmost en? deavors to improvo themselves, and moro particu? larly the rising generation ; send tho children to school. In the further proceedings, act as men, and act as Republicans. During a debate. Mr. Bowen reflected on tho position ocenpied by Unitod states Marshal Ep Sing; to which Mr. E. roplied that he was not ?ero in any other character than simply Mr. Ep? ping. Mr. B. said, in responso, that no would only quote from a Georgia senator : "That if you shot into a pack of dogs, you can tell which one has been bit by the noise he makes."

Tho Committoo recommended that thc vacancies in tho other Districts bo filled as soon as possiblo by tho Executive Committee. Thc report and recommendation of tho Commit too wore adopted. Mr. Leslie, who mado uso of expressions yes? terday that were construed into an insult to*tho Convontion, after permission grantod by tho Ch air, apologized.mnd was readmitted. He was thou al? lowed to moko a fow remarks, in which bc assert? ed that he had "been persecuted and howled at by all tho "robols;" attempts bad been mado to mul? der him-mon, with five revolvers buckled around them, being on his track : his fences wcro burned, and ho was finally forced to tako refuge in thc swamp, and bis plantation-a most valuable one, well stockod-was noarly ruined. Ho was a friond of tho colored man. .* H for his complicity with thu corn question with which be had boon charged, ho wouldstato that, after bo found that the officer in chai go of tho com which was to ba distributed to tho poor of tho District, was confining his contri? butions to tho whitos alone, he proceeded to Charleston and obtained another supply, which, to balance thc account, he distributed to tho blacks. Ho was satisfied tho members ot tho Convention from his District would certify lu his statements. Tho Chairman hero again requested the Finance Committee to make a call on all persons present delegates as woll as visitors-to. contribute their mites towards "greasing tho machinory;" when tho Committco at onco prococded with, tuojmattor. After which the Convention adjourned, to meet this afternoon, at 4 o'clock. Tho Convention reassembled at 4 o'clock, and business was proceed with. Tho following communication was read: To the President of the Union Republican Parly of South Carolina : Sm: I am suro there is no ono more sincerely attached to tho principles of that great National Union Republican party which has Bavcd the na? tion from dismemberment and now presides over its dostinios than I am. Its great idea of entire equality for all in tho eyes of thc law. regardless of race or color, I most heartily endono. But there has boon a spirit of violent radicalism mani? fested in tho Convention of South Carolina that I regard far from tho principles of tho party wc aro expected tn act with, aud whose principle.! wo ought simply to have adopted, lhere aro several articles in tho platform which I consider simply impolitic, and moro likely to iujuro tho party than to benefit. 1 believe thc policy of thc Convention should have been ono of moderation and concilia? tion, instead of ono of violence to open old wounds. Jut if Article No 4, onco defeated and then brought up again at a moro favorablo time, moans any? thing, il means what no lover of law, order and justico to all men can possibly sanction. As it would be impossible for mo to pledge myself to support any man as a candidato who endorsed tho princip' ,s of spoliation indicated in that articlo, 1 feel that I cannot, consistently with Article No. 13 of tho platform, remain a member of tho Conven? tion. I thercforo very respectfully roquest that my name be struck out. Most respectfully, your obedient servant, B. 0. DUNCAN, of Newberry. Columbia, Friday, July 26, 1807. Thc letter of resignation was accepted, when the President stated in reply that ho was glad tho Convontion had such a platform, that no Judas can remain. Mr. J. J. Wright offered the following prcample and resolution, which wcro luianimously adopted: Whereas it is alleged by thc opponents of repub? lican liberty and congressional reconstruction that the Union Republican party of South Carolina is organized by and in tho exclusive interests of one race; therefore, Resolocd, That we, in Convention assembled, hereby declare such sentiment entirely without foundation; that, on tho other hand, all citizens of South Carolina loyal to tho nation and tho princi? ples of tho national Republican party, arc cordial? ly invited to co-opcrato with us in placing South Carolina in a proud position among thc States of thc Union. W. J. Whipper introduced a resolution, which was adopted, that the thanks of thc Convention be tendered to thc Columbia Pheonix, for thc faith? ful reports of the proceedings published every morning. Resolutions were offered and unanimously adopt? ed, returning tho thanks ot tho Convention to the Sergcant-at-Arms and Secretario ?, for their ser? vices gratuitously rendered. The oommittoc on Finance reported that the ex? penses of thc Convention amounted te only $36.25 -$35 for rent of hall and $1.25 for stationery; that tho collections amounted to $10". Thc Convention then adjourned sh e die. The postofficc of tho Chairman of thc State Cen? tral Committco-B. P. Whittomcrc-is Darlington, S. C. MAMMOTH SQUASH.-A few days since wo were shown by .Mr. John M. Rawlinson, of this ! place, B Mammoth Squash grown in his garden, which is rather ahead ot'anything wo have ever seen. Its weight is thirty-three pounds, and it measures a fraction over lour lect in circumference, and is about sixteen indies in diameter. We do not know tho name of this monster variety, but learn that the seed from which it was produced, were pr? cured from tho Agricultural Bureau at Washing? ton, - Yorkoi&B Enquirer, State Items. MILL BURNT.-We regret to learn that the flour mill of Mr. Jas. R. Massey, situate on tho Catawba River, was destroyed by ure on tho morning of tho 18th instant. It is believed to have been tho work of an incendiary. A considerable quantity of grain was also consumed. Estimated loss between five and six thousand dollars. Wo understand that it is the intention of the proprietor to rebuild it as soon as circumstances will permit.-Lancaster Ledger. COTTON BOLLS.-Our much esteemed friend, Col. B. S. Jones, near Clinton, forwarded to us, ksomc ton dava ago, a couple of tb o largest cotton bolls wo havo scon this season. To give an idea of their size, v o will say that they were nearly as large as a guinea egg, and wore almost at tho point of opening. Wo learn, with ploasuro, that tho Colonel has a largo and most promising growing crop of cotton, and intends to provo the fact that good cotton and largo yields can still bo raised ha Laurens District, free labor and poor land to the contrary notwith? standing; and that it is not necessary to desert, in too great haste, our old red hills for those of more fertile, yot, perhaps, far less healthy regions of tho Yfeat.-LaurensviUe Herald. THE Cnops.-WO have convereed with several intelligent farmers fruin this district, and from all quarters we have tho samo cheering accounts: that tho corn and cotton are doing well. The prospect of an abundant harvest makes our sturdy humors cheerful and happy. After a year of des? titution and want, nothing can add more to the re? lief of our whole community than a plentiful pre? nsi?n crop.-Orangeburg Jyews. GOLD Dioomo.-WO learn that considerable ex? citement with rogard to cold digging exists in the neighborhood of tho "Little Mountain," about six or seven miles below tho village, and the fever seems to bo extending fast through this commu? nity. Some very rich specimens or gold oro have been obtained from landa owned by Mrs. Wil? son, of Greenwood, and very thorough explorations arc now being mado into their mineral resources, under tho supcrviaion of Mr. Cloud, an experienced and competent metallurgist. Tho indications, we learn, are encouraging, and, wo truat, will roward tho explorist8 with abundant success. Nothing could bo more opportnno than tho discovery of a rich gold mino in our District at this time, and it would give a new impetus to thc development of our resources, agricultural, mineral and manufac? turing.-Aooect/te Press. Tho Bennetts ville Herald says that thc Bacon has arrived, and will bo distributed to those who have been receiving Corn, on Monday, tho 29th. Tho Commissioners state that par des must apply in person, or they cannot obtain a supply. Mr. Hiram Feaster, a skillful farmer in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood, sent to us some ten dava siuce two very flue stalks of cotton, over waist high, and well lilied with squares, blooms and bolls. [Edgefield Advertiser.
