He did more than, any otter Individ val to build np aud promote the manufacturing intereste of tho district. 1 TAXES rs VOES. The Yorkville Inquirer says: The work of collecting State and county taxes for York is daily going on; bu*, a large proportion is yet unpaid. Tho total am innt of taxation ia 152.280. Of this amonot only $23. 527 64 had been -paid np to anti including the 11th instant. It ia well to romcmbor that the 28tb instant is the limit dnriDg which tho taxes can be paid without further oxpense. After that dato 20 pur cent., or one-fifth of tholr preaont amount, will positively bo added to all taxes Btill to be collected.. Iii Pi -i ? : The auditor has furnished ns a few int 'roat ing statistics from his books, whloh we annex. The number of acres of laud returned is 4(11,087, and their asBesaed value is $2.102 418. The assessed valuoof buildings Dot in towns is $482,614, and that of bu il dm us aud lota in towos, including Yorkville. Rock HUI, Fort Mill and Ebenezer, is $440 445. The assess aient o? personal property is $1,123 390, and the total value of all property assessed, real and person? al, id $4.717,982. The number of polls returned for taxation is 2742. and there ore supposed to be some 1500 persons liable to a poll tax whose names are not on tho tax book 3. Twolvo hun? dred and twenty-six persons have paid this poi! tax. There is some difficulty in ascertain? ing tho amount or tho collection of poll taxes, as all taxpayers are not liable, some being fr? u?ales and others ?.ivor Agc. ^>VHb wfaranM .? i'l vMOr? tl,.-" ? v %Ten $16 431 05 pain ott ': thc - "sta"; . forwarded ?*> tbo'lriosurer, nt Columbi-, amount of .ounty taxer, paid U S?O vj.

Another significant fact oan be iscerned. Owners of real estate pay three fourths of the bill. ' Nearly one-half of the en? tire assessment is on land, and nearly one fourth on town lots and buildings. I THE w KATH CB AND THINGS IN ONION. ' The Times says : It is nullo aa dry and scarcely less warm that thc drought of July. We aro needing rain badly, and unless it comes soon it will come to late. There was a slight rain early yesterday morning, but not enough to do much good. Mr. Fran k Parham bas laid upon our table a fully opened boll of cotton, lt grew upon' the farm of Mr. William El 1er, near our town. We believo it ia' tba first of the season in this latitude. . Wo regret to learn that the poatoffice at Mount Tabor has been discontinued. No cause is assignod. The nearest postofiics to that point Is olovm miles distant. The citi? zens in that section,.will be muon Inconve? nienced by thia o . der. THE POOD PSOaPEOr IN GREENVILLE. According to the Enterprise, the return of dry hot weathor, after a few good rains two weeks ago, has again wrought suca m j irv to the corn ero JIB that tho uplands must fail moat seriously in this part of tho country, and corn will bo undoubtedly ec arc 3 tho coming year, t he ba tl om land in this region will yield abun? dantly, but most farmers have but little bot? tom; Ihoat who have such lands will be sure of a big price for corn. The prospect is that the neoplo of tins State will havo to import grain largely from other States, and although good crops of cotton may bo made, the deflotont corn crop will mako money scarce o n account or the heavy drain for provisions. PATINO TAXES IN ANDERSON. Tho county treasurer has been kopt quite huey for the past two weeks, and every day oar own presonts a lively appearance in con? sequence of the large number of taxpayers as? sembled. Wo are informed that about $30.800 has beeu collected, but we bave no idea as to the ratio of taxpayers who have not yet com? plied with the law. A goodly number of ne? groes are on band each - day, but the large majority will doubtless prove delinquent. UEVrVALS IN MtBXBOBO'. .The Renneltsville Journal gives tho follow? ing intelligence: The religious meeting at Beauty Spot Metho? dist Church dosed on Thursday last, and re? sulted m the conversion of several, twenty-two of whom Joined the church. Tho revival at Hobron Church, which commenced' on Friday last, still continues and is largely attended/ Thero seems to be a powerful awakening of the bply spirit, and the community seem po atr? ial ly Impressed on the subject of religion. At Brownsville and Beaver Dam there are also re? vival meetings in progress, wbiob promises to be abundantly:rewarded by a large number of convoitions and accessions to the sevoral churches. Verily tho spit it of God is at work among tho people. SUPPOSED INFANTICIDE. A dead negro child waa fouod partially buried about three miles from Bennetteville a few oavB ago, supposed to bavo beon de? stroyed by its mother, a uegro woman, imme? diately upon giving it birth. An ioquoat was hold over the dead infant, but it having been buriel too long to bo properly ex .?mined by the physician, no proof eonld be gathered as to whether it was put to death or not. lt bad boon buried without the knowledge of any one, and the supposed murderess ot her infant had fled the community.

TAX OK n AX KI ns Ayn Bit OK cns. It was stated some weeks ago that tho New. i'ork brokera who had been assessed for a heavy tax on their dealings in stock, &c., had brought the matter before the Commissioner of. Internal Bev'onue.'su? omploycd. able counsel to argue the questions involved. On Tnesday Commissioner Delano decided that the brokers should be taxed. Theresalt is of great interest to business men in New York, and greatly concerns the general public, since tho commis sinner's decision brings to the Treasury about $100,000 per week from soutcea which never paid the tax before. The decision is in the cases of Wood & Reich, ct al, claiming to . bo brokers and, not bankers, and concludes as fjllowe: It ?B claimed that Congress has conceded that porsons who complete the transaction of Bale by receiving and delivering stook oro still only brokers. Hoch an argument is inapplioa ble to this question, until it is shown bow Congress speaks ol persona as brokers Who have places of business where (hey make it their vocation to effect soon sales. This section alao spooks of contracts for Bales, ne? gotiated on account ol others by persons win are not even brokers, but this ?B no concession that such persons may make it their bnaiuoss to negotiate such contracts without becoming liable to-bs taxed as broker*. Undoubtedly it is not every negotiation or contract that would ooo vet i a casual person into a broker; nor every aftle a delivery that wonld convert a broker into a banker. If a broker bas no plaoe ot business, or does not, in the contem? plation of the statute, make a practice of re coivlng stocks, whoso sale he negotiated, bo cannot well be regarded as a banker, and snob I * sala made by bim is prooerly described as a .-? lu modi by a broker. It was the object of . 3- ?each ni* -?.Kw .na contracts for *.tc<s K ..do by one person on account of another, at. d. not to fur ni nh a definition for'terms already defined. The rate that all parts of a statute are to be taken together in explaining the moaning of each pirt is applicable only when there is a reasonable question about the meaning of the latter, and ia wholly inapplicable to a precise dofinltion. lt may be added, however, with reference to the meaning of the term "negoti? ate," as used in tho 78th section, that the very section appealed to enumerates sales made and contracts for sales negotiated, and thus im? plies a definition of term hy its application. After a oarelul consid?ration of the statute, 1 am of the opinion that a person whose business it ia to negotiate purchases or sales of stocks is a banker according to the moaning of seotion 78. act of June 80.1864, if he hu a place of business where be receives from others stocks whose sales he negotiates, or where money is advanced or loaned on stocks, TUR Ti All,KO AI) 1IORKQKS. Astonishing Dlsetosfarea by at Prisoner. Thc New York Bun ha* tho following dis? patch: POET JKUYI?,PJ., August 17.-Ia the spring .~>f 1868 sevoral serious accidents occured on the line of tho Delaware division of the Erie Ballway, in ono of which- the Carr's Rook dis ael'tr, on tho morning of tho 15th of April in that year-more than a score of pasiengers lost their lives, and Atty or sixty others were wounded, lo oacb ot thnao cases the track b?d been maliciously displaced, but all the efforts of tno company to ferret out the perpetrators proved futile, and finally a standing reward of $1000 was cffiied for any evidence which woul 1 leadlo their conviction. ?? . A short time bet?re the occurrence of th eeo disasters, the company diicbarged from their employ and caused thu arrest of an English? man, John Bowen, sixty-four years of ago, for forging a pay-roll. Bowen has been in this country for twenty-two years, and has resided in tue neighborhood of Bpanowbush and Host's Switch for several years past. After the Carr's Rock disaster, this Bowen wont to Mr. Douglas, then division superinten? dent, and aeons od .ono James Knight of tam? poring with tbo rails a few boors before the diaaster. The company st once put the mat? ter Into tho hands of the detectives, but they failed to gather sufficient evidanoe to warrant them in bringing Kniirht to trial. ' On tho 15th i of April last a rail was fonnd torn up near Stairway Brook, and renewed ef? forts were made to trace out the guilty porson. After a patient investigation of all tho facts thai, they could gather,.tho company orno to tho conclusion thai Bowen himself was tho crimdial, and thoy accordingly had him arrest? ed .and locked np in Milford (Penn,) Jail, where he confessed that he had tampered with tho rails on tho 28th of May. On Monday Bowon made a second, and full confession, acknowledging himself thor perpe? trator of each and every one of tho crimes wluoh led to such a loss of life and limb. He made it voluntarily, having bceu warned that ho need not oxpeot to gain any leniency there? by at the hands of the company. -Tho man ?ficen co of Mr. Peabody bas fonnd an honorable rivalry In the aot of a manufac? turer of Birmingham, Kogland, Hr. Joalah Mason, who has jost delivered to the trustees the property and endowments of his a plendtd pile of almshouse and orphanage at Erdington. The amount of money expended io thia bene- I faction ia no leas than ?300,000, being equal to the donation of Ur.
