It will be quite impossible for the House of Com mono to ac cop. the amend? ments made by tbe peers, and will ba their duly te restore the bill in its original form.

[raOM AK* OCC1S10NAL C0RBX8P0KOEST.J FAIRMOUNT PLANTATION, BABITWELL COUNTY July 7.-Tbe numerous correspondents of you admirably oondnoted journal keep yon ao wei informed .as to the condition, and prospecto tbe crops of corn and cotton, I shall say bul little about them. They look very well hen at present and promise a fair yield, provided the seasons continue to hold out,. and if we eau prevent the negroes from stealing cotton as mochas they did last jeir-first by bas< ketfulls and then by whole bales-we shall be able, perhaps, to gather a reasonable amount, according to the number of acres planted. It is too early, however, to predict much with regir 1 to cotton, lt being liable to so many contingencies between now and frost, The cattle and bog crops deserve, I think, more notice than they receive, and I wish to direct particular attention to the subject of stock miling-the destruction of cattle and hogs by negroes. It is well known that before the war, when the negroes were under guardianship and con? trol, cattle and hogs were raised in abundance in South Carolina, and no planter or farmer who managed properly, except in a few locali? ties, ever bad to bay beef, motton or bacon; and from the section of country where 1 reside, tbe- surplus or cattle raised waB sent in droves to the Charleston market. But since freedom has given the negroes better opportunities for stealing and gratifying their animal propensi? ties, it is impossible, except in a few neighbor? hoods, to raise even a tithe of what is needed for home consomption. If the predatory hab? its if the negroes did not keep constantly re? ducing tbe stock, th-'r natural increase, in this section, wonld in the course of a few years be sufficient to supply the whole State; the price of beet and pork would go aown so low that any freedman, with ordinary industry, would b9 able, with a pittance nf his wages, to buy at the markets of the towns and villages all that he would require. But the mass of that peo? ple have not forecast enongb to take that view of the muter, nor will they deny themselves even if they aid; for with them the present is everything, and they will kill the last cow or bog to gratify their appetite, and that, too, witb the most unmerciful And remorseless dis? regard of the nght of meum and tuarn; taking the last cow ot the poor, unoffending widow, who depende upon the last of her stock tor the scanty allowance of milk which she gets tor ber little ones. JIIlhone are annually lost to the Sooth that might be saved by pioper legislation and con? cert bf action on the part of the planters and farmers. The Sooth is becoming every year more dependent on the West ior necessary sop plies, and tbe pork crop of the United States does not now exceed what it was fifteen years ago. The number of hogs killed and packed m the West in 18 C-'57 was 2 534 77tl ; in 1868 '69 2 477 2 4 and yet .tbe natural increase in the wants during that time must have been fully 40 per cent. Population is gaining on production. According to the oensus of 1860 we bad in boutu Carolina of hogs 965 779; now we have but 4G8.373. and the negroes will keep on reducing them unless they are prevented; they are as bad on bogs as the beats in tbe swamp-iu fajt, the two-legged bears are worse than the four- egged ones. If we want immigrants to come to our coun? try we must have tho wherewith to feed them. Let the planter? and f .rmci s then bo propel? ed in their endeavors to raise, besides grain, an abundance of r*att.e and hogs. Let pioper lawB be enacted lor guarding against theft and inflicting a severe and summary punish? ment wheu tuoft is detected, bea mg in mind tbo principle laid down by Blaek-tone, that cri mi-s must be measured and dealt wilh ac oordioe io their etTec d upoo sooietv and the full measure of punishment moto I out that is required lor their prevention. Let thc neg)o knJT lus leg il rights, deal with him jus'lv, honestly, firmly but, above all. convince him that be shad not steal. Th9u will our State oe rendered in a great meaburn, independont of external supply. The cotton crop, atter de? ducting for wages and the inten-Bt on capital, will be net profit for fun her lovesiment. either in commerc : and manufacturing or ia more la? bor for making still larger crops, and with the millions annu illy paid to tbe West for pork and grain retained in the South, will give a new impulse to every department of industry. tu certain situations and under certain cir? cumstances I admit it will bu best for individu? al? and even wbole States lo purchase certain suppl ii e. bot, as a general rule, that State will be rno-i prosperous 'bat is least dependent opon others-particularly for bread and meat. Proper legislation and concert of action on the part ol the planters and farmers of our Staie con bring ahmt a nght condition ot thmgs, aud the peace, prosperity and happi ness of tbe community will bo enban.ed there? by.

THE TEMPER AND P?RPOSEC OF TBE PEOPLE, Spirit of the Country Press. The following extracts from articles in the State papers on the subject of taxation justify the anger of our people, while the; shi vor to pieces the chief statements made by Governor Scott in his last lons letter. FAIinaLD ADVISES RESISTANCE. The Wi nus boro' News advises tbe people "to pay only such a portion of the tax as the real raine of the property calls for, and carry the question to the courts.'' It says farther: There is not even the. appearance of justice in the present manner of assessing the Taine of property. The Board of Equalization oan tax jost aa they see flt, if they CAD exercise aoy each power, as they have presumed to do in Orangebarg, as raising the assessment SOO per cent. Under that decision tbe boase of a gen? tleman returned by bim at 18000, and sorely that is a high value, will bave to pay a tax on $32,000. In Fairfield, land for wbicb the owners have been anxious to get $4 an acre, has beeu assessed by the County Auditor at $6, to which 50 per cent., or $3, bas been added by the State Board of Equalization, making $9 per acre in alL Is this justice? Another tract of land belonging to the estate of N. Wrriolr, was re? turned at $100, at which price it had been sold, and wbicb those who are acquainted with the naked old field say is mire than its real value, bas been assessed at $300. And just BO, there are thousands of honest men who have made a fair return of their pro? perty, who forsooth, are to be doubly and tuply taxed, because suspected it ?B that many others, impoverished by misrule and a mongrel ?tate government, hive not returned their property fairly. Kealst the injustice. Ke'use' to pay. Trust to the future for a remedy. SUMTER APPEALS TO THE COURTS. In Sumter the feeling is very strong. The News says : ' 4 " But the question is as to the remedy. Should this tax, based upon a fictitious assessment, be quietly paid-without effort to mitigate th i wrong? We answer emphatically in the negative. Let this be qoietly paid, and it would but be accepted as a license for the im? position of yenmore unrighteous and excessive demands. We believe that the groper course was de? termined upon, so far as the present ls con? cerned, by the meetiog ot taxpayers Ott Mon? day last at the courthouse. A committee was appointed to wait upon the authorities, care folly and truthfully to represent tbe facts,.and ask an abatement. Should the committee fail, however, in securing relief, then appeal to the judiciary was determined upon. We believe tb is to be the true course. The opinion has been expressed-by legal gentlemen tbatf aider existing authority, the present tax cannot bo forcibly collected previous to Marah next, and the farther opinion has been, with equal confi? dence, expressed, that the decision of the ju? diciary would be adverse to the legahty of the present assessment. - SPAETANBUEQ CLEARS FOB ACTION. In Spartan burg there has been great excite? ment. The Gazette Bbows tbe way that the tax muddle works. It Baye: Nowhere in the State, we believe, have the J people yielded a more ready and obeerful oom-1 plianco with the ?banged state of affairs than the people cit Spartanburg. Very few com fhints were made with the assessments, roperty generally was assessed at its market* able value. For months our people ha v? been preparing to meet the expected demands of the County Treasurer. When it became known that the State Board of Equalization Lad doubled the assessment of real property, the people cheerfully acquiesced in the decision, and sought means to meet the additional de? mand, what each bad to l>ay ng a matter of ?linpl? calculation. He Knew the amount of bis real property and its assessea value ; he knew the value of bis personal property which he had returned under oath. With these data the calculation was simple and the total amount due was easily derived.With this amount in band our farmers came to town in response to tile call of the County Treasurer. At the Treasurer's office, however, they found their calculations all at fault; their real property had been not only doubled, but m some instances quadru? pled, while their personal property had myste nouai y increased, in value since the r mode their sworn returns. They to und themselves unex? pectedly much batter off in this world's goods than they previous') had any idea ot, though unfortunately they were obliged to pay hand? somely tor the pleasing discovery. For the fiist few days much grumbling was heard upon our streets, and payments made ander protest. In almost every store a group of men could be seen soliciting our merchants to go over their calculations and see wherein the error lay. Grumbling soon gave way to nghteena indigna? tion, which threatened for a time to ter nina te J in Bomethmg far mire serious. Wiser coon- ' sets, however, fortunately prevailed, aid now our larger taxpayers aie withholding payment until some satisfactory solution of the problem can be given. In the mountains the people are justly in? dignant. The Walhalla Courier has an inter? esting article on tbe subject of taxation, from wbicb we take the following: We show by facts the fair valuation of our lands. The arable lands in Coonee were origi? nally assessed at $9 uer acre, in Piokene $6 48, in anderson at $6 29. in Greenville at $524, m Spartanburg at $5 87, io Abbeville at $5 25, in Laurens at $555. in Union at $341, and in Newberry ct $5 84. Lo these lac s exhibit an unfair valuation of the lands of our county ? If eo every one must adm il that the valuation is too high in Oconee, instead of too low. Will a people who bave returned their arable land above any of tbe nine adjoining counties be likely to depreciate their Wild lands? Is the doubling ot our lands under these circum? stanced a fair and impartial equalization? We challenge the State for s better record of ad valorem re urns. Bat our average value is below all these counties, Bays the And tor. Lit as show why tbis ia tru?. 'Ibo proportion of acres of arable laud in Pickens to the whole number of acres is as one to seven, in Oconee as one to twelve, in Anderson as one to five, in Abbeville as one to tour, and so on. Again, Oconee is the northwest county of the State, bounded by and terminat? ing in tho mountains in a northerly and westerly direction. Three milos north of Wal halla we utrike ibe mountains, and for a dis? tance of fifteen to twenty miles in different directions, tbcre is an unbroken succession of rocky hills. An area of fifteen miles wide by twenty miles long number a voting population of lee's than 200 son 6. These are men, who have settled lu tho little coves aloug tbe moun? tain branches. The remainder of this large area is useless except as ii woodland pustule, and one tenth the amount would answer hil tho purposes of thc settlers in that way. The nood bas no maiketaolo value, and tbe soil is too poor and broken for cultivation, lu Pick? ety thc propnrtoo ol broken lauds is muc.i less, there being about the sume quantity of arable land in the two counties and thc same poDulation. whilo m Oconeo th.-re are nearly 200,003 more actes of laud than in Pickene. lb ute other counties thc surface is not so broken aud tho eoil better. Three four:lis of our county eau grow only om, while all tho others except V okena grow cotton largely ai d profitably. Conon is money, monc.v easy of transportation, a d laud adapted to its g-owih is more valuable. We will explain one other point which may have influenced iu some degree tbe action ot the State Board. That is the hw figures at which meadow or pasture land was valued. Ii Oconee this was fifty-seven cents per acre. The truth is there is not au acre of meadow laud, sine ly speaking, in thc county. 'Tuc as.-cssors put under that head ol j fields worn out and washed. To tno Yankee mind, meadow is a valuable class ul land. From these tacts it is manifest that thc State Board must have acted either from igno? rai.ce or fraud, or both, in doubling cur lands, and we are inclined.to thins from the former. Io fact the letter of the btate Auditor prov.s it. What is the rf medy ? Some suggest ibe c Hirts, but if there be any other pracicaole way to relief, we advise tbe people to adopt i'. We suggest tbe fol owing, wuicb m ghi result ir good : Held a meting at Walhalla on Mon? day ol cour ; appoint a committee to go to Co? lumbia and lay our case before the State Audi tor. Let them seen first an ex ens ?on of Unie for the collection of taxes in our courts, let them next request the State Auditor to instruct the County Auditor to give notice that he will FIGURES DO NOT LIX. hear and relieve all cases of peculiar hardships on the presentment of a petition properly vouched and approved bj this Conntj Auditor, and then let every one rest his case on its merits. We believe if the Auditor bas not the power, he should withhold th? collection of the tax on the whole amou>.t added by tbe State Board, and refer tbe matter with his reasons to the next meeting of the Legislature for con? firmation orrejeotior. It munt be best to try Uga Ural, as we are satisfied the entire amount added by the State Board is without justifica? tion of law. . AFFAIRS IR THE STATE. Torie. The Yorkville Enquirer says: "Compara? tively few persons from the country were m town on Monday, and there was little public business. Tbe sheriff resold tbe Broad River Cold Mine, at the risk of the former purchaser, for $600. It was bought by H. D. Stowe. This property was sold three months ago for $10,100. and was bid off by L. M. Seacrest. The sheriff j also sold a tract of land belonging to G. W. 8. Legare, hing on the South Fork of Fishing Creek, and containing four hundred acres, for $?00. Purchasers. P. Hamilton, of Chester. Th ompaon & Jeffreys, assignees in bankrupt? cy, resold, at the risk of former purchaser, a tract of land, tbe property of Samuel Black, containing two hundred and forty acree, at $5 60 per acre, lo 8. G. Hemphill. At the for? mer sale this land was bid off at $10 95 per acre." Oeonee. The Walhalla Courier says : "On the first instant, as we were going to press, Elisha King exhibited to us two colton blooms which he plucked from his farm in this county on the 29th of J une. He has only eight acres planted, but represents it as averaging from twenty ' tour to thirty inches1 in heirtt, and full of squares. This ia early for this section, con e.dering the late spring. "For three week? the weather bas been un? usually warm. a od dry. la s?me parts of the county the Jar mers report good seasons, while. i'i others they are very much in need of rain.

Qi sales-day the In.elligencer says : "Mon? day last was the dullest sales-day on record. One tract of laud, containing twenty-seven acres, brought $200. The. few persons from the country loitered in the shade, and there was a total absence of activity in business circle?." Mrs. Esther Benson, relict of Mr. E. B. BSD . son, formerly a well known merchant of Pen? dleton, died in Anderson Vdhge on Saturday morning last, in tbe seventy-fifth year ot ber ! age. - Misa (arrie Horsey, second daughter of Mr. T. M. Horsey, recently of Charleston, but now a resident of New York, died Budden ly on Sanday morning last of consumption. The Intelligencer says : "The crops are suf? fering severely for the want of rain, and relief | from protracted drought in a lew days will gladden the hearts of the farmers with fair prospects ot corn and cotton. The wheat and oat crops are turning out splendidly, in many instances beyond an average yield. The gar? dens about town are badly in need of refreshing showers. * fdgetteld. Edgefield Courthouse now has a daily mail. Ola Mr. Andrew Moyer, tried at the June term of court for the murder of John Autrev, found guilty ot manslaughter and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in tbe penitentiary, has, opon a [loddon from man; of thc hint clti lusof Edgefield. endorsed hy the presiding I Judge, been pardoned by Governor Scott. On ' Thursday last be was released from jail and re? turned to his family. . Ou Wednesday last, near Tucker's in the Dark Corner, a citizen of that region, named Wm. rowles, was 'bot and seriously wounded. It seems-that a man by the name of Trait was driving a wagon along the road, when Towles suddenly stepped np and knocked down one of his moles. Upon this Trait shot Towles and wounded him seriously io the stomach. It - tuns out that Towles mistook Trait for some other man against whom he bad a grudge. At lasi accounts, Towles was doing well. The ridgefield Ad ver User says: "On the night of the 25tn ol May last, after the election for J Coroner at Pleasant Lane, a negro man named Re nh en Sm> ly, living on the plantation of Rm . som Timmerman, Esq., was very severely beaten by parties still unknown. On Wednes? day last this negro died. A coroner's inquest was held upon the body hy Lemuel Coi ley, Esq., and the verdict rendered that the de? ceased came to bia death from the effects of ? the beating received on the 25th of May. Seve? ral gentlemen of the Pleasant Lane neighbor hood are being imoJicated by the reporte of | negroes in this affair, bot as yet no an esta have been made." THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCES.--A card pub? lished rn the Washington Express, signed by Henry Ward, proprietor of the Express, says : "1 he discontinuance of the publication of tbe National Intelligencer is not final, but that its resumption bj the lawful owners will take place SJ soon as arrangements to that end can bs perfected. It bas never been tbe intention, he says, to abandon the title, but delay has been rendered necessary by reason of certain complications under previous management, and a strike among tbe employees. He also gives notice that the rig it to enjoin others from thc use of the title and name of said pa? per is reserved."
