and ibo constabulary aro now tiudiaputcd mac
ters of tho situation. Tho "niolish" arj got-'
tiii^ fut and sleek anti losy on tho publto pap.
Eichelberger, tho military coroner, aud cap' aili'
general or tho Philistines, it seems, has de?
clared n tm :c, and having already amaBsod a
sinai) sized lortunc. has gone, it is said, to tlio
springs, probably to tcctuit from tho scvoi o
effects of tho campaign through which lillias
just passed. Bof.iro ho loft, groat crowds of |
negroes gat bet cd at tlio courthotiso nearly
very Katurdny, and frequently oltcner; but
tinco his departure scarcely :\ ripple has'dis
turbed thc torouity of the politic il waters, in
thc meantime, eisht or uine t?late constables,
willi their horses, havo beon kept hero on
duty,"assisted by about tbo same number of
negroes-thc wholo constituting a guard for
tlio arms at tho jail, and kept up at nu expenso
lo tlio couuly of about fifteen hundred dollars
por month. Tho authority by which this torco
is kept hero in uudorsiood to bo tbo joint reso?
lution of tho de:.oral Assembly authorizing
tho Governor to employ an armed forco for tbo
preservation of tho peaco. But that resolution
only authorizes tbo employment of such a
forco "when iu any county iu tho Stato it shall
1) eeo mo i ra poss, bl o to on fore? tho laws mid
koep tbo peace by tbo ordinary civil pro?
cesses." .No suob cxlgonoy exists tn Edger
field, or bas existod during the present year nt
least. The relations botween tbe races -have
novcr boon more omioablo, and tho freedmen,
when notnndor tbo itifluenbo of demagogues
aud incendiarios, have novcr worked '.better.
Tho prosoaoo of the arme at Ibo conrthoueo,
and the "knot" of constables and negroes
guarding them, would now excite very little
comment, Were it not for the fact that it is !
taking- fifteen hundred dollars a, month out of j
the taxpayer's pockets. Bot what manor to a
party whose sole purpose is spoliation and
plunder? Peace and good order in the Stato ie
entirely incompatible with the interests ot tbe
present administration. They can only flourish
by inoitiag the freedmen against the whit o
people of tte county-by fomenting discord,
and stirring np tumult and disordor in the
land.
John Woolley, tho couotry treasurer, has
been for several weeks collecting the taxes.
He bas visited points in all parta of the coun?
ty, nnaccompaniod by the coustabnlary. Not?
withstanding the tax gatherer is generally an
unwelcome visitor, and notwithstanding great
dissatisfaction OXIBIB amongst tho people at
the one hundred and fifty per cont, added to
tho assessments of property by tho Equaliza?
tion Board, John has beon allowed by wicked
Edgeficld to complote his work in profound
peace. Tho people, as a general rule, are pay
pn^ tip promptly, tho exoeptinna being ooca

season of tho year. A good many have ap?
plied, through tho county auditor, tovget the
assessment abated to tho true value of tho
properly. This official bas hin offico at Ham?
burg, and, otitstdo of bis immediate vicinity, it
is not known what has been the fate of tho ap?
plications. It is neoessary in some instanoes
for peisons to make a pilgrimage from Ninoty
six (o Hamburg, a distan?a or fifty miles, in
order to learn tho result.
Tho fr.?ulm?n aro .irtnolly paying no taxes
at all. There aro four "bousaud and five hun?
dred negro voters iu Edgeficld, and it is ex?
ceedingly doubtful whether tboy will pay five
hundred dollars poll tax. And yet theso ne?
groes olect two whites and five negroes to rep?
resent this county in Ibo Legislaluro. Ono of
these whites hos bcuu living all this yoar in At?
lanta. Georgia. Ha was living thoro nt tho
session of tho Legislature, in December last,
but, nevertheless, ho took his aoat, and will,
doubtless, take it again at tho next sitting.
By tho terms ot Iboconslitutian his teat is va?

Tho crops in somo sections of tho county, a

Sinco that timo a few favored localities have
been blessed with pattin) showers, and are
still indulging in hiith expectations; but tho
weather for a period ' or fifteen dava was
intensely hot, and in some, places vory dry i

PROSPECTS OF THE CROPS* _"

Reporta Received at tbe De par ment of
Agriculture for Fresekit Mom h.
A Washington correspondent has made up an
interesting compilation from the August report
on tho growing crops, rccoived at the Depart?
ment of Agriculture. It appears that New Jer?
sey, Pennsylvania and Dolawaro, in tbo East;
Weat Virginia, Kansas and Nebraska, in tbe
West, and Arkansas, A lol" an?, Louis mm?, Flor?
ida and Texas, hi tho South, aro tho only States
irhtch claim an average or moro, in condition,
of thc corn crop, as compared with this samo
dato lost year, with a slightly increased aero
age in Now Jcraoy and Pennsylvania, six per
con I. i ne re asu in Nebraska and West Virgin/a,
thirty per cout. in Kansas, seven per cent, in
Toxas, and ten per ce.it. in Florida; and a
somowhat decreased apreago in Arkansas,
Louiai ina and Dolawaro.
lu tho great corn-producing State of Illinois,
tho average ostimato ot condition, in about
sixty count io-?, tails tully thirty per cent, below
last season, at samo dale; Indiana, tho second
State in production, puts the figures nearly aa
low; Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota ralo
twenty to thirty per oant. below; Iowa twenty
per cou'.; Missouri, Kentucky and T?nnosse?
ten per cent. The New England States rango
from ten to fifteen por cont, below ; New York
twenty to twenty-five per cent.; Maryland, Vir?
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and
Tennessee ten per cent.; and South Carolina
tBffty per cent, below. Texas proiaises twenty
?ior cent, better yield than last year, with an
ncreased acreage as noted, and Kansas sort
Arkansas ten nor cout. better than list year.
In tew of tue Itrgor States will the increase
of acreage ni ?Vu up for deoro.iao iu general
Condition, while in several of the largosf corn
growing H tatos tho aoroago has been reduced
from last year, owing to the very unfavorable
spring; benoe it seems hard'y possible tbat a
crop equalling that of last year can now be
mid o under tho most f ivor a bio futuro, while
the indications are that the yield ot the season
will fall considerably below, that- of 186*8.
Drought bas done much damage in so nj o sec?
tions, succeeding the excessive ralnB which
had previously retarded the growth of the
crop.. Favorable weather hencefortn, with lite
I fall, may do much for tho general yield; but a
.ehort corn crop appears inevitable. Illinois
'and Indiana pranced algiut one-fourth of the
crop of the wholo country last year, and now
. threaten to roduco t hoir product twenty-five to
thirty-five per cent. Ohio, Iowa, Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee, which raised one
third of the crop of 1868, promise a decreased
yield of ten to twenty per cent. Tho season,
which has been unpropitious for this great
national crop, has, h o wo vor,, p-oved favorable
to oio it others; and thous* the corn be ont
short, there mast he abondance in the land.
. rKOUEASFXJ COTTON COOP.
While Alli he cotton States, except Georgia
and Floride, reported the condition of the cot?
ton crop in Jnly ss consldotsbly below the
average of tbe crop of 1868 at corresponding
date, nearly all now report an improvement
upon those est?malos, and no wa ra I of tho moro
important cotton regions report* tho condition
as better than in August of last year, the
weather having been generally propitious; and
the injury by the worm comparatively incon?
siderable, though thore ls ho lack of apprehen?

With quite a large incroiso' in tho area

in tho onomy's front, Wit ire, when wo havo re?
stored our lines ami reunited our r.inks, (suc?
cessful battle may yet in., fought and reucom ?
ing victory won. In this spirit wo would say
ta our former fcllow-citizons in tbo excluded
provinces: "Como into ibo Union; stand not
upon tho order of your coming, but como at
once; when you are in, and wc oan act as fol
low-citizous once moro, wo will meet to?
gether and consult upou future measures."
This, geutlemoa, in brief, is - tho spirit
which, as it seems to me, should aoimato our
action npon past issuer; for tho present and
tho future aro very important in theso days,
and will allow US team limo OV?U to celebrate
the funeral rites ovor our dead past. Eternal ac?
tivity is tho pneo ai party living, ?nd tho road
behind ia strewn with carcasses of tho factions
which could not seo that tu pol?tica a dead priu
eiplo isa mero prejudice, nausoous to the peo?
ple. Vague declamation upon natural rights oi
wrongs, whether whtto or black,female or other
wiso, no longer delights a Dcoplo thal is boing
gradually taxed out of houso and home. The
man who finds St daily moro difficult to find hie
children bread, will relax his anguish that thc
negro bas a vote; the most passioualo lover ol
bis colored kind may recognize a fellow-crea?
ture in a planter, it they both agree th it thc
prioo of coal is an oulrago, tho duty on iron t
swindle, and the tariff an abomination to b<
abolished. In truth, it is high time that, aftei
some twenty years of a refreshing season foi
the national soul, wo should toko a short tern
of attention to tho pablio botly-which need,
it badly enough. | '
I undertake to say that ibero is no nation ic
tbe world which is taxed aa wa aro taxed. Nc
Wonder that the men who work for wages aron
desperate, as they dooline in woll being and es?
tate No wonder that the air is full of striken
and labor move jae n la, and. associations and de
mantis ondproteetsof woikingmtn and women,
I bey are in tho right in then- ! unrest aud np
rising, although the praotioal measures pro
posed as remedios aro sometimes unconsider?
ed and unwise; for it ls tine that the system ol
taxation they enduro is not only onerous, but
practically operativo in tbs interest of oapit li
alone. Itis true, as the very able and candie
commissioner of roven ne says and proves, that
although tho aggregate wealth of tue couptrj
is increasing, probably 08 rapidly ,aa at anj
former period, yet it does not follow that tliart
is the same increase in general prosperity. '
Tho laborer, especially hd who has f larg?
family to rapport* ts notas prosperous as he
was io 1860; hi? stages have not inoreaeed it
proportion to the'increase in the cost of .bb
living. There is, therefore, an inequality lt
the^tTibntion of our.annual, parfait whiot
wo must refer to artificial causes, and ho asks
"Wheuoo comes this uonatural distribution o
the results of labor?" And he tells yon, anc
not be only, bat every man wno ever was sup
posod to know anything about political econo
mywilHell you, that lt must be.the result o
an .eoforoeif uso of unconvertible heaps, o
paper.money, which Involves a most oppres?
sive tax, which falls heaviest on the IsbOrei
and lightest upon the owner of capital. It

To the PmpU of South Carolina':
Tho above Company was organ'red In 1800, ii
consequence of the wholeealo forfeiture of Southern
policies by Northern companies. Tho unparalleled
euccesa of tbe enterprise has forced sovcral of thea?
companies to restore their Sont''ora policios, from
tho Act that they could not operate in our mldal
without Ute appearance of honesly.
Wo keep all our monoy at home to build up oui
]-impoverished country-every dollar of premium
behan aafely invested In tbe Kiste irena which it la de?
rived. The instit allon ts pryely Southern, and hence
shou'd appeal Vi th great force, to tbe patriotism and
and sympathy of every Southern-heart.
'Tia not our purpose to make war on other com
panlM. but to exhibit tba special advantages oflVrcd
by thia purely Southern Company-founded oil
patriotism and solid wealth. Ita ratio of assets tc
liabilities-the true test of a company'a strength-ii
seoond to none on thia continent, being nearly $300
to S10O.
Whenever and wherever wo have presented thi
claims of tbis Company, lt bas notonly enlisted thi
sympathies of our people, but boa also secured t lie I:
h'arty co-operation. Wo have secured 600 policlei
in South Carolina since tbe 10th of February. Wi
number among our Directors General Wade Hamp

TARATION, compounded by one of pur' oldest and

pending upon large ??LeertiFlug, bought pnffs and I
flcUtlona recommandations for a sale to a gullible

proved by many of our beat physicians, and the pro?
prietors depend upon tbe inlrinato merita of .their
medicine to make it as popular as 11 ia curative.
They db net pre tend to offer a medicinal prepara*
lion that will cure all the IBs that flesh Ia heir to,
bot they do contend that the Judicious nae of these
Bitters win greatly alleviate human tnffericg, an*
bring very many to a atate of comparative health
who have tong been strangers to that grvat blessing.
One good ginoine recommendation of any px*.
