St ye ol th an li ha in Ul wu im pr th of Flt QM TH JE STATU CATITAX. The Charleston Election Bill-Speech of Mr. Corbin-W&At was Done wit li thc Bill-Ino General Proceedings. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 27.-Senator Cor? bin's Charleston Election bill is tho principal subject of interest now before the General As? sembly. Tho motion by Mr. Corbin that the bill be taken up for a second reading and con? sideration to-day, raised some unexpected op? position. - Mr. Lcsh'c said he was unprepared for any discussion to-day, not knowing what legal principles were set forth in tho bill. It was one of the most important bj ll-j bo thought that would be brought to the attention ot this General Assembly, and it was desirable that when a vote was taken upon it, they should all voto with a full understanding of the many aocbtful questions involved in the hill. One o? the questions would be, can tho party claiming the office of Mayor bo seated by the General ABsemDly if be was not legally elected. He wanted the bill referred to tho Committee on tho Judiciary. Wright, ot Beaufort, also opposed any hasty action on thc i iii, and moved as au amend? ment that the bill be leferredto tho Committee on Elections. Mr. Corbin nr. ved to amend tho smendment of the senator from Beaufort by adding, "with instructions to report to-morr?w." Mr. Cor? bin said : I have no obj action to the reference of this bill to the judiciary or any proper committee. But it is a very simple bill, and 1 desiro that it should bc considered at once. I know perfect? ly well that it is a bill that is going to excito the opposition of some of the gentlemen <>n this floor. I know it is a bill that excites tho Feeling of a great many in this State. I will state to tbs Senate in advance, that I have been advised that I might expect apposition to this bill. It is well known to the S.uato that an etectiou was held m tbe City ot Charleston under the ?lection law passed at the special session under au act to .?emulate elections in incorporated cities ind towns ot' this State. The ol sefton wus iel I at the time fixed by law. As is well kn JW? n that election, certain pen ms were elected, tod certain other persons, after thc elidion vas ascertained, got up a protest. That '.lec? ion bid passed off quietly, but as soon os it vas known that tbe Republican candidates vere elected, all at once there spruug up, on he part of tbe Democrats, a tremendous fu? me and an effort to set it aside. They insist? id, then, that the election wis illogaland void, md this tremendous protest was scut into the 3ity Council to arrest the declaration of thu ileetion. Swails-I would like to ask the Senator, did ie not, in a public argument, published in thc tapers, pronounce an opinion that the muni ipal election law on certain points was ille ;al? Mr. Corbin-I never did. I expressod tho pinion that certain seotions of the election iw were unconstitutional. I will point out to he Senate what portion of tho constitution 1 bought was and is in antagonism with that lection law. Alter the protest was sent into tho Mayor nd City Connell, he and they refused to pub sh the returns. They refused to make deela? mon of the election as required by thc law. t will be seen that it is the duty of tho Ac'mg Iayor to make such declaration. He relu..vd, nd called tho City Council together, and said r? them: "Here is a protest; it is a very grave nd solemn matter, a matter of tho gravest nportanco to the City of Charleston. Hero is lie protest; let us go into au examination." hey did so, and spent two or three woeks in ie investigation. The result waswhon they ot through they said: "Wo doclaro tho elec on void." A certain oath contained in the act had not een admi littered in all cases. A registra rra had beon mad'-, and the eloction was fair conducted, but it was ascertained that tho tanagers had not ad minist ?red the oath re aired by the third seciiim of tho act. An :her ground was that some of the managers id not make their returns in a sealed en? cope. We said that part of the law was sim ly directory, and that the oath required was jutrary to thc constitution. Tho oath re? cured the individual to swear that ho had re? ded in the county one year. The constitu on says that the individual must bave ro? ded in tho State one year, or have been resident since the adoption of the constitu on. All that the voter was to show, accord ig to the constitution, was that bo had rest? ed in tho county since its adoptio... and th? *uth was the City Council had got completely ito the hands of tho Philistines and took their Ivice, and accordingly declared the olection , jid. The party ."bo felt themselves aggrieved y this cour.su appealed to tho courts and ob dned a writ of rm ndamus, commanding the ctmg Board of Aldermen of the City of barleston to declaro the election as tho law ltborized and required them to do. The >urt declared that the Eoard of Aldermen had ) ncht to say tbe election was void. A :remptory mandamus was issued commanding tem to go on and declare the < lectiou, . hieb they finally did, just as set forth in this ll. They could noe withhold it any longer, they did, it wou'd bj in contempt of tho | >urt, aud they would buvo to go to jail. This luch wai extorted from them. Tho act says ? my ??hall declaro the election, and their dc- j sion shall be biudiug upon all partie?. They . ive declared tho election, aud say thc per- ] ms bereiu indicated received tho highest umber of votes. Tho Supremo Court luve ? nd that was equivalent to saying that these , tnoos were duly fleeted. NOM, what hap- j 3ns? After thc declaration bas boeu aqucez 1 out of them, a demand id nedo upon tho ctiug Mayor und Hoard of Aid rmen tor the , ncc*. They reply, nutwituK? ding, wo dc- , are YOU aro elected, bu i we rr ,'u?e to giro you j ie offices. j Wc then fiud ourselves ii: lbw position. Wo , ivo to again appeal to tbe C<urs. There is j j do.ibt whatever but that Ibu ch'mauls were ec ted. The Board ol Atdormou settled that j ?estion. Their best advisers, on tho other do, ?dmit th?t tbe question is practically set- j sd as a matter of law, and that tho parties iu , ?Session must surreuder. But still tho aimants bavo to resort to tho Courts to drive j ? smoko out the a-ting Board ot Aldermen 1 ( hat is the result ? Why tboy can raise tech- ? cal objections, -rd the Courts aro so organ- j ed that Mr. Pillsuury and tho Aldermen elect ay be kept out of their omeo a whole year. ? Now what we want to do by this act is to stop . 1 delays from mere technicalities, and a long, borious, tiresome litigation. We simply want j deprive these gentlemen of the opportunity enjoying ono half of the term of office bu- j nging to others and to keep tho claimants it of offije for that timo. j Ii the ease is brought up on a quo warran'o, , must go before the Circuit Court of Cbarles n. That court meets on the first Monday of ixt month, t he criminal business is sufficient i occupy the time of that court lor at toast , ur weeks; there having bo^n no courts held , ere for nearly a year, oiiscqoently thc jails e crowded to overflowing. There aro sume i ro or tuiee hundred per ons waiting to bo 1 ?ed. Wo caunot, therefore, probably get a / taring until March or April. Then t no dual tttement of thu question involved would go ^ the ?uprcruo Court, and it will be utterly t ipossibJc to get a decision of tho ciso in that ? uri before December uext. lu tb:s opinion I a sustained by tbe Attoriiey-Genoru'. If this c is not tho caso. ? would much preter tho T uris o compel these ?ennenien to vacate tho \ icos tiiey now lt oki. But tho Legislature is , session, and cati say that, according to law, CEO claimants ere c-uiitloJ to their seats. ' icy arc only iiOpt out uf them by the mfa.- j JUS conduct of eua Ac?ug Board of Alder- j an. , I would not introduce this bill had I not nu- * jrous precedents for it. I propose to Bhow j e precedents in this very City of Charleston reiercnce to this matter. Senator Corbin hero quoted from vo'.ume 7, i atules at Large, pago 12J. "An act to alter d amen! an act to incorporate Charleston, c d for other purposes meroin mentioned. " The case, he said, was simply this : Por teu t ars tho intendants and Wardens of the City I Charleston had been doing business, and all t cir elections and everything oise wore null 1 d void, aud so decided by the highest courts. 1 tey bad to go to tho Geueral Assembly to t ve passed an act validating tue acts of those i teuaauts and Wardens for that leugtb of the t ne. They had gone wrong in redistricting tlio t rds; hence they nad to get au act of ooliv- ? i passed in referoar-e to the w?o.e matter. t ibo last Geucrai Assembly of 18liG, which i eecdod this, passed "Aa act to declaro valid t e recent elect.on of Intendant and Wardens i ihsTowu of T.mmousviile. That act says: i Se ti cnucfcJ l>y the icnatc and Uouso of Rep're- ? i aenfaUves now mot and sitting in General Assembly and by tbe authority oftbesame, That the ?ecent election for Intendant and Wardens of the Town of Simmonsville be snd the same is hereby declared as valid, to all intonts and purposes, ss if the same bad been held at the timo and under the provis ons of ousting Ians; and all acta done by tbo said Inten? dant and Wardens unter the charter of the said town ar? horobjr confirmed. In the Senate House tbo fourteenth day of Decem? ber, in the year of out Lord. 18GG. W. ?. POUTER. President of the Senate. CO AK LES H. SIVONTON, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Approve J December 16th. 1866. JAMES L. ORR, Governor. That wisc Legislature preceded the new days in which we live. They did tho thing they deemed most proper under the circumstances. This, said the senator, is not tho only case where there were such glaring irregularities. All wc ask is simply this: According to a law passed at tho last session of the General As? sembly the people of Charleston held an elec? tion on the 10th of November. That election was protested. The Acting Board of Alder? men, under the provisions of the act, have been compelled to certify to the Supremo Court the election, and tho act says 'their decision shall be binding upon all parties." We havo wrung from them declaration of this election, and they still re fueo to get out of tho way of the parties duly elected. They say, wo can keep you out for a year at toast; and the courts aro so situated and organized that we cannot remove them. Hence it is this bill has been introduced. We do not want to stave off this quospou. Wc say that although all tho technical provisions of the act were not observed, Mr. Pillsbury and his Aldermen are duly entitled to their offices. It is bnt simple justice that is asked of the Senate to declare valid this election. Wo want to deprive tho Acting Board of Aldermen of their ill-gotten positions-positions to which they arc not entitled by law, and to which they know full well they are not entitled by law. Mr. Corbin then quoted Bellinger on Elec? tion?, pago 465 ; report of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, on tho protest of S. S. Tomkins against the admission of John C. Al? len to a seat in tho Houso of Representatives. Tho report ot that committeo quotes from the case of McMnllen : " That the end ot popular elections is to discover which of tho candidates has tho greatest number of votes from arnon? tho qualified voters ; polls are of necessity holden hy many persons at different places, and such elections are, of course, subject to irregularities. Where, then, after legal notice to tho voters polls have been fairly boldon by the pro;ior managers at tho places and for the time de? signated, and ono of thc candidates has re? ceived thc greater number of votes, tho end of tho election is answored. It follows irre? sistibly that we aro to construe the rules for the regulation of popular elections with a con? stant direction to that ond, and not to ho de? terred by minute objections and irregularities of manner and form." This is not, said tho sena'or, a glaring case Uko that one; the irrogularitios complained of aro matters of form and not of substance. It is not contended that any of the parties voted for are disqualified, and hence not entitled to their seats. They simply hold out becauso all tho technicalities of thc law wore not observed by tho managers. We ask the Senate to waivo technicalities, and to say to theso gentlemen, now holding over, wc, the State, waive technicalities in the law. and will not roquire compliance with them or allow you or anybody else to hold seats to which you aie not entitled. This is the object and end of tho bill. The motion to refer to tbo Committeo on Elections, with instructions to report to-mor? row, waa agreed to. A bill to regulate and provide for tho pay of Commissioners and Managers of Elections passed, the titlo was changed to that of an act, and ordered to bo returned to tho Houso ol Representatives. A joint resolution authorizing the Governor ' to employ an armed force for tho preservation of tho peace, received its third reading, passed, , and was ordered to bo returned to tho House of Representatives.

The Early History of the Worm-Iti Natural Kn cm j--Tho Causes ot the Destructiveness of the Worm-Thc Ef? fects ot the Season and the Importance of Early Crops-The Pith Theory-The Worm on Salt and Rusty Lands. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The annual rocorrence of the cotton worm is by no means a foregone conclusion. All results depend on exciting canses, and this is manifestly so with tho insect creation. In ono season we aro annoyed by swarms of flies, gnats and mosquitoes, whilst in another we are almost exempt from thom. In one our orchards and gar lens are made almost value? less by the presence of aphides and other in? sects. In anothor we enjoy an entire respite. Sometimes these swarms of insects are repeat? ed for several consecutivo seasons, and then suddenly tbey are gone, apparently without cause, yet undoubtedly from some controlling influence. It is thus with the caterpillar as with all others. We may as well count on the continuous recurrence of extraordinary mala? rial seasons as oxpeet the constant recurrence of tho cotton worm. Now, it is known that caterpillars of all kinds, at the North as well as with us, wero unusually prevalent during thc past season. In 18G7, the cassina (Ilex cassina) was stripped of its loaves entirely early in the summer by its own peculiar cater? pillar. This bad not been known to occur be? fore in many years' observation of the plan t, wbicb, on account of its use as a bedgo plant, was in a position to he closely watched. Sea? son after season the plant escaped, but in 186 7 it was attacked and overcome by its own pocu - liar destroyer. And this summor tho ramie plant was attackod and stripped of loaves by a worm peculiar to it, and of very singular ap? pearance. About tho period of tho Revolutionary war, tho wheat fields were infested by the Hessian fly, and such were tho ravages committed that tho raising of wheat was almost despaired of, and tho advent of tho fly feared even in Eu ?. rope. So, too, occurred the discaso of tbe grape, which so materially reduced the vin? tages of several years. So, too, tho well-known potato rot, which had its thousands of victims, requiring tho exportation of cargoes of grain from America lo Ireland. Tbe cotton worm is the insect peculiar to tho cotton plant-, and will feed, as far as known, on nothing else. It is easily distinguished from other worms hy the experienced eye. This worm is subject to be developed or not, accord? ing to the character of the seasons and other circumstances, as its hatching ind?cales, lt is itself, howover, subject to bo preyed ou by some other insects, as well as birds. My expe? rience teaches mo, howover, that it is not readily devourod by our wild birds, and in this I think tho most observant planters will agree with mo. When crushed in the fingers, or even whilst eating in afleld.it omits a disa? greeable and nauseous odor. The inscet which is supposed to be tho most destructive to tbe cotton worra is tho ichneumon fly. This fly is i very active insoct, and can be seen darting lbout in search of its prey, lt punctures tbe living worm without apparent injury, and de? posits its own egg in the worm. The worm, at .ts appointod time, goes into the chrysalis jtate, from which chrysalis is hatched tho :otton moth, which in time deposits its 3gg8 on or under the loaves of the plant. Thoso minute eggs aro batched uto very small worms, at first scarcely percep? tible, tho egg itself not being larger than the irdinary period mark (.) of a penman. These ittlo insects, a thousand of which may be pro? duced by one moth, rapidly grows, so that in a rery few days they may bo oven beard eating n the fields. Now, whou tbo ichneumon fly pierces a worm that worm goos into tbe chrysalis state, and instead of hatching a cot :on moth an ichneumon fly is hatch ed, the em? bryo fly having fol upon and tatou up tho ivorin within its case. The presonce of this fly ir its absenco possibly has much to do with ho prevalence of the cotton worm. Unfortu ?atcly for us, very wet seasons, hooping- tbe vings of our friendly fly clogged with roois urc, destroy much of its activity, whilst the taine weather adds greatly to thc growth of ho minute colton worms, which live at first ilmout liko aphides (?) ou tho moist and suc? raient cotton leaf. When tho worm is produced from exciting ?alises, whether of moisture, warm and murky veathor, or some other bidden climatic condi lon, not known to us, we havo simply thc be? diming ot' the evil ; but fiko young chickens >r birds just batched, the surrounding circum? stances must be favorable to their devclop ncnt, or tho most if not all of them perish. If he season is too hot and dry, or tho plant too nature, thoichnoamon fly abounds; or if tho a-ason is too cold the lit Clo iuse-et perishes. I am convinced that wo have tho worm or thrys dis with us always, subject tobo produ luced by exciting causes. I saw the unmista fie chrysalis turuod *rom tho frosh plough fiir ?uu?h last spring; took it in my hand, examiu )d it carefully, observed its peculiar motion, ind was entirely uatisfiod as to its being the nary salis of the genuine moth. Another pou - loman in my coinmuuity observed an uniuis tikable worm as eany as April or tue first of ilay. He bad a stake driven at the placo, and it that very spot the oatorpdlars first made heir appearance when they came in numbers. . havo been credibly informed by anjther geu lcmen that tho moth lias been seen and one akeu about the 7th of the present month, lt teemed very teeblo aud, though carefully laudied and aud kept, it soon perished. There tau be uo doubt of this circumstance, as the rentleman who took tbe moth was perfectly amitiar therewith and could not nave been nisiaken. This hoing thc case, there is ;round to hope that our unusually cold winter viii destroy, to a great deg.ee, the cottou in? sects. Let mo also state that tho prc valoneo of heso insects in ono season sounis to havo oo? hing to do with their prevalence iu another, they made their appoaranc ; 0artier in 18-10 han ever before or since, aud tbo crops were lttcrly eaten, and weeks earlier than they wore n tho season just past. Rut the crop ot 18-16 vas much earlier in its growth than those of .8G7 or 18GS, and tho season by no means so vcr. Tho eroD was, therefore, tar bettor thau he crops of 1867 and 13G8. I noi iced last fall, before frost, tho weather icing very warm at the timo, myriads of thc :o:ton worms, many of them fall grown, porish- j ng iu tho cotton alleys. Wo liad at tho lune ni intermission of thu ruiuy weather, aud tho luifaoo of tho carib was dry nud very hot. L ook many uf iheui m my hand aud lound them mtirely dead. It may thus happen, from one causo or mother,'that when they come carly and strip be plant of its fohagc aud destroy the ?U;>p.y of food, as well as shelter, these worms lie out in great numbers, both from want of ood and on account of the scorching ravaof ho sun. lu 1816 tho sumo tb mg occurred, thc worms theo filled up thc wheel ruts in tho oads and also thc ditch corners, and myriads lied in the hot saud. Bo this ns it may, the act is, their was not one seen in 1817, and wc :scaped them for many years afterwards. In tho year 1860, the worms made tl.eirap learance in my crop late tn dcplenibor and did ue some injury. There was not ono to be leard of in any other direction around me. ly crop differed." from those arouud nv in one aateriaJ particular. It was uttorly destroyed >y a very severe hail storm on tho 27th day of day; it had to be planted all over, ?.nd there vas not one original plant lu ten thousand nat survived. It was therefore extremely backward and Buffered besides this so much after coming up from the "leaf bag," that it was truly problematical, np to the 8th of Joly, whether it could ..make anything at all. The season, however, was good, aud when the plant escaped it leaped i into growth and fruited beyond all expecta? tion, prod acing a crop which I think my fac? tor'? books trill show was very noarlv a baf? to ' the band. It was, however, far behind other : orops in maturity, and the crop of caterpillars, i so to speak, though crowing slowly irom the season being unpropitious to them, had made at a late period sufficient headway to do me in? jury. My crop alone was found m the condi? tion to sustain or grow them with facility. All i others were far too manure. Now, had tho season been such as to develops these worms early in the growth of the plant, it conk! scarcely have made ten pounds to tho whole crop, or, indeed a pod of cotton. An impor , tant reflection arises here, impressing us with the fact that late crops, though not really pro? ducing tbe worm, yet in reality may nurture hordes of the worms tbat would have otherwise perished for want of food. Ir is true that great exciting causes might produce and develop them without the coincidence of a succulent crop to nourish them, but, being at first few in numbers, they would come on slowly, and, perchance, with a hot and dry summer the first brood would not appear in tho crops at all, and even with a wet August it could scarcely appear before Octo? ber-too lato to do serious injury. Bear it m mind that these insects are hatched and grown. Ibo hatching depends on the season; the growing on the crop as well as the season. If the plant is very mature when the worms are first hatched in any appreciable numbers, tho brood of caterpillars fails for want of proper nourishment. It, on the con? trary, the crop is in a favorable condition to feed the tender young worms in their differ? ent broods, the hatching, whatever it may be,, is carried through the worm state Without ap? preciable diminution towards another brood, while under either circumstances there would have been a largo diminution. Such a dimi? nution at tho first produces a very appreciable effect when the producing moths at the most aro few, (but few having escaped the vicissi? tudes ot the year.) When they becomo ex? ceedingly numerous, however, even though they should lose three-fourths of each brood, enough aro still accumulated to destroy the crops. With the two past yews wo have found it im? possible to make our crops grow off. We have had no spring, and just such seasons as onr past experience would have wanantcd us in prouuouncing beforohand as best adapted to the production of the worm. Tue statement about the eggs being found in tho pith of the stalk is ridiculous anu impossible, for the little moth that lays the egg is too feeble, and bas nothing wherewith to pierce the wood of the stalk. On the wholo, it seems to me that, with va? ried seasons, timely planting, genial springs and well prepared fields, wo might reasonably expect a respite from the cotton worm, or, speaking more strictly, have no ground for supposing otherwise. Major John Jenkins, of Edisto, informs me that his cotton plantod on what is known us salt or reclaimed marsh land entirely cscapod tho ravages of the worm, both in '67 and '68, the worms proving very destructive on the nigh lands immediately contiguous. This would seem to indicate the free uso of salt as a preventative, bul whatever good uay bo effected by such use, it should bc remem? bered that wo cannot reach by an artificial svpply of salt without destroying vegetation, such a sahne condition cf the soil as that of the salt mush land, und thus, without consid? ering cost of a largo application of salt, we must confess our incapacity to approximate to the properties of the salt marsh without ren? dering it unfit for all vegetation. I have observed myself the singular exemp? tion from tho ravages of tho worm experienced in '66, '67 aud 'C8, in a cotton field disposed to rust. Tbe soil of this field has medium yel? low sandy loam, having nodules of ferruginous sand scattered over the surface, mixed with the soil. In 1866 there was no appearance of caterpillar at all in the port of this planted field. In 18H7 one cocoon and one worm was alone seen. In 1868, tho whole field being planted, the worms did some slight damage, scarcely appreciable. This field matures very early, and in ordinary seasons, without manure, would probably rust badly. Ia one instanoe. then, wo have Bait marsh landa exempted from injury for two years, when tbe fields around nero ravaged by the worm. In another, in lands having iron largely incor? porated with it, tho same entire exemption is afforded in two consecutive years, and very nearly the same in the third, whilst the other fields were eaten up. I think, however, I have known "salt land" cotton eaten, and so, also, that grown on land disposed to rust, but never to tho same extent as on other lauds. This article ia a summary of thc very beat in? formation lean givo upon this subject. 1 would bu happy to answer any inquiry iu connection with this matter, and will thankfully receive information from any one who will communi? cate with me through IUB NEWS office, or oth? erwise. 1 think it impossible to destroy these , insects. There may bo wholesome rosults roached by every effort towards promoting the carly growth ol the plant. My advice is not to plant too soon, but simply io time. Cotton well put in, from tho 1st to 15th of April, is abundantly in time. I have yet to learn any ad rantago from earlier planting. JOHN W. B. POPE. P. S.-I propose, at my leisuro, to examine fer your columns thc following subjects: L The method of cultivating long cotton, and how far wc may vary from tho old approved plan with safety. 2. A careful review of every mercantile ma? nure sold iu thc United States; what oach ar? ticle promises for itself; its constituent ele? ments; ita relation to thc constituents ut plants cultivated, and its relation to the nuny home? made mnuiircs hitherto used with marked suc? cess; its pnce, aud its relative economy in dis? tribution in tuc fields. 3. Prico of cotton, and its relative injury to Si.miters when compared with disastor arising rom natur tl causes. i. Wealth of planter and spinner compared; showing how thu produ-cr bas fallon short ol tho manufacturer m profit. 5. Tho necessity of a cotton board, and its organization. 6. Tue area of long cotton plan tod, and the necessary reduction of crop of 1869, owing to planters being obiiged to resort to tho "two day system" for want of c ipital. 7. The necessity of tho long cotton crop to Charleston, ftc. 8. The economy of growing grain crops and raising cattle in relation to price of cotton as enabling the producor to hold against buyer, equal, m sumo instances, to half a orop of cotton. 9. Tho growth of manufactures at the South, arising from the necessity of investing, in Borne way, a email surplus of profits derived from the raising of cotton. Tho cheaper the raw material thu greater tho inducements to manu? facture at home. I will, with pleasure, retiro from any one of these subjects should any other writer under? take it.

Generals Porter and Babcock, of General Grant's 8U1?. had an interview with Governor Scott on Wednesday, aud expressed themselves highly pleased with tho condition of tilings. Secretary OarJoza and Senator Kaiuey wore present during tho interview. Thc officers left by tho Charlotte train Wednosday after? noon." Darlington. Thc Democrat says: "On last Friday night soino malicious person or persons removed at least one-third of the flooring from the Switt Creole bridge OM thc Cash way road, and built six fences across the road at intervals, between the v?.ago and Hood's Ridge, on Black Creek. Lucki.y fae moon shone brightly, and the ob? structions wore seen and removed before any damage wad done. Had the night been dark, the result w mid have been mournful, as the road is much frequented, and the obstructions were of a very serious character. Thero is some hopo of di.-covorina tho perpetrators, and we hoi'0 thoy will get tho most ampio punish? ment the law eau inflict. Abbeville. Judge J. 0. P. Vornon, of Sparianburg, baa been holding court in Abbeville, for several days, end states that the business was prc eeeded with quietly and orderly, and a com pleto clearance made of the Jail-a number of cases being tamed over to the magistrates. Jndge V. says that the court room presented quite an ante-war appearance ; tbe only mate? rial difference being the number of colored persons amone: the spectators. Wade H. Jones, freedman, was convicted of rape at the sprint? term, 1868, of tbe Court of General Sessions for Abbeville An appeal was taken, bnt the change m the organization of the Supreme Court prevented tbe appeal being heard until December last. At the suggestion of the judge, the punishment has been com? muted by Governor Scott to one year's impris? onment in the penitentiary. Dallas Harles ton, auotber freedman, who was convicted of mor? der at tho same court, has also had his sen? tence commuted to one year's impris jnmen t at hard labor in the penitentiary. S amter. Tho Watchman is urging the formation of a County Agricultural Society. The "Sumter Minstrels," composed entirely of gentlemen residing in Sumter, will appear next Wednesday evenmg in a series of songs, dances, instrumental music. &c, in aid of the Sumter Fire Engine Company to assist in pur? chasing a new engine. The Watchman says : "For the months of September, October, November and December last, Sumter shipped, from the Snmter Depot, between four and five thousand hales of cotton. Tbe greater portion of this was bought by our merchants, and goods furnished the sellers to the amount needed. If we take into account the cotton bought here and shipped from I other stations on the road, the aggregate would probably not fall short of six thousand bales. This, at the average of one hundred dollars per hale, which is probably within the fleures, would amount to $000,000. A right clever little cotton business for Sumter for four months. Of this amount, Darlington, Kershaw, Clarendon and Williamsburg fur? nished their portion, for the business of Sum? ter is gathering from these soveral districts." Newberry. NewborTy is again' moving ' to obtain t?l?? graphie facilities, and a meeting of the citi? zens was held last night to push the matter. The Herald eays : That Newberry will have a telegraph is certain. It is a necessity, and one of those necessities which cannot bo pat aside; tho question only remains as to the time. 1 he sooner the better we say. Lotus have it at once. Many of our citizens are deep? ly interested in this matter, as are also a num? ber of influential gentlemen abroad, and r. proper effort made now will place the idea be? yond soeculation. Our trado demands it. our merchants need it, and Newberry will be built up in*o an important city by it, which she is now in fact, but not in name. Tho citizens of the Town of Helena gave a christening frolic on Monday night last, the occasion being the erection of a new building designed to be used as a co-operation store. The gentlemen of tho railroad shops sent an er.giu ' and coach down to Newberry Court? house to carry the invited guests to the fes? tive scene, which consisted of a merry break? down on tbe light fantastic too, followed hy a supper, which all passed off as merry as a mar? riage bell, terminating at a late hour in the night. Spartanbarg. The Spartan, in noticing town improvements, says : S. T. Poinicr, Esq., our excellent and very accommodating postmaster, has xemoved bis cfiico as commissioner, magistrate and postmaster, to a central point-the basement of the Palmetto Hoaso-for the accommoda? tion of the public. This now and very hand - "Gmo establishment, for convenience and good taste-by a liberal expenditure of private means, places our poste?les second only, por baps, to the postoffico in Charleston. Captain Ball, his veiy attentive and officie ut assistant, alike with Mr. P., is entitled to tbe thanks of the public. The Spartan remarks : Cotton is king with ns now-but wo should be careful that its pi e sent high price does not create a mauia. lt is as subject to fall in its price, as it is to rise. Its large cultivation, however, in thia country, is necessary to sustain the ascendency it has always had in European markets. Tho more cotton we make, will curtail its production in foreign countries. When cotton is at a mode? rato price, no country con compete with these Southern States. But, with this great advan? tage, it is to be boped that our good farmers will remember that they cannot make a good cotton crop without the necessary provisions. It is feared by our m ist sagacious and trusty farmers, that too m ich of tho labor and of the best lands will bs given to the cultivation of cotton to the exclusion of borne and farming Eurposes. A deficiency of food for man and east in the cultivation of crops, enervates the mind-compels the premature sale of your cotton-the family and stock are pinched with short rations-tno crib and meat-house be? comes empty, and every thing beoomos.disjoint od and tang lad before the crop is half made. A man feels bad under these circumstances. But, worse than that, suppose cotton falls to one-half or one-third tho present price? You will havo to boar the loss both ways-the fall in the price of cotton or tho rise in the price of provisions which you would be obliged to pur? chase. _ DIVORCES IJf TUE WEST. A correspondent of tho Chicago Advance, in discussing the question of divorce and its evil ! results, claims that if tbo ability to again mpi ry was removed, and a ois ability made per? manent as to botb, there would bo very few divorces. Ho adds : Let us examino for one moment the manner in which tho law operates. A Mr. A sues for a divorce. Mrs. A does not appear, dolault is entered against her, thc case is sworn through, and b th parties are turned loo^e upon society, with no better reason existing iii many cases than "eold feet," or a desire which is expressed m Dryucn's responso to his wife, when she wishod that she was a book, so that she might oujoy more of his company; "or bo au alma? nac, that I can chango you every year." The following casu lately carno under my observa? tion : A young man married, and residing in one section of tho country, removed to an? other, leaving his wife behind bim. While away, he proposed to a young lady and was by her accepted, aud tho marriage day announced'. He returned to his wife, spent a few weeks with hor, ana tenderly hado her adieu, sought tho house of his expectant bride, and mumed her. A few weeks after the marriage he ob? tained a divorce from bis absent wife, which, being discovered by the newly-made ono, was mada the occasion of a new marriage cere? mony, after wh'ch the now i epudiated hus? band went to the home of bis divorced wife, who, ignorant of his conduct, still fives with him, while tho other sought her redress in a court of oquity. I think I bear som" lawyers say that that could have been remedied by personal service of the notice. A friend of mino relates the following instance as illustrative of tbe frauds which may bo practiced m this precaution, even: A poor, ignorant girl unfortunately married to a scoundrel, was served with a no tico informing her that her husband would apply fur a divorce for adultery-tho word adultery was "tliunibt-d" in tte reading. Too ignorant to demanda copy of the notice, or to seek legal counsel, she asked her husband what it meant, and rested satisfied with his cssuratico that it was nothing dis? honorable to her anyhow, until he order? ed her to leavo his housu, assuring her that the was no longer his wife. "A mother, but not a wife." men ns something not only to thu ruined woman, but to tho divorced ouc also. Divorce Jaws are a bid to perjury, and a constant offer to both partios that they can many again at pleasure; but with a deal moro of '"red tape ' than at first. There arc not many instances of divorce in which tho plainti? or defendant have nut tound out that th**y could not marry happier, and are only waiting lor a decres of court to do so. A case somewhat notorious is r. ported as follows : A young man married a young woman, and after residing with ber some time concluded that be bad made a mistake, and proposed another marriage. Having moans, he sent his wife away on a visit, and while she was gone ob? tained a divorce. Sho came bick, only to find him the husband ot another.
