Tim first qucsUon ls answered artlrtnatlvcly. Thc Boco nd question is answered aftlrmatlvcly with tho following remarks: "Wc aro clearly of opin ion that such evidence must bc received In re spect to such contract, m order that Justice may bc dono between tko parties, and that thc party entitled to bc paid In these Confederate dollars eau only receive their actual value at tae time and place or thc contract in lawful money or thc United States." n thc lld rd question tho court says: "We do not think a necessary to go Into a detailed examination or thc evidence tn thc record. It ls enough to say that lt has len us, with doubt tn our minds, that tho note for tea thousnud dollars, to cufore'e pay ment of which suit was bruught tn thc Circuit Court, was to be paid by agreement of thc par ties m Confederate notes."

So well established In thc public mind ls this fact that a parly of gentlemen from St. Mat thew's arc coming prepared with tents amt camp outfit to entertain themselves during their so journ nt thc Fair. Thc tournament Idea seems to have taken with thc young men, and knights from several parts of thc State, especially Columbia, Wlnnsboro', Onion mid Abbeville, arc known to bs girding themselves for thc trinl of skill. Thc fear of too large u crowd of knights seems to have deter mined thc Juvenile-perhaps 1 would bc nearer thc Idea by saying tho ./ ta nllt r folk-to get up a mors youthful tourney, where the lance Instead of thc broadsword shall be the implement used. TUR BLUR ninon n AI LUGAR. Tlie resident presence of Messrs. I'atterson and Creswell, two of thc contractors for the finishing of this road, In Columbia, and their foundry operations In getting out Iron works herc, con ducted by Mr. Steers, a sub-contractor, confirm the rather dubious public mind upon thc ques tion of thc bonn Ale character ot that contract. Wc arc now fully assured that there ls nouo of tho Sprnguc-Plerson Columbia canal dodge in lt. THE CANAL. It ti now ono month slrnJe-tntTnrsf or October, when lt became manifest that clthcrSprngue had fooled tho commission-Governor Scott, Post master Wilder and the late Mr. Lewis-by impos ing upon them a contract that has resulted In doing nothing with thc canal for more than a year; or else tho commission-Scott, Wilder and Lewis-have dealt treacherously with South Caro lina, by giving thc contract to Sprague when they knew he was contracting tn Jmd faith. Which ts ltf A month has passed and no meeting has been held by thc surviving commission-Scott nud Wilder.' Thc Governor ls chairman of Hint com mission, and yet he has not even called a meet ting, although Wilder's oitlcc ls not distant moro thnn two squares from lils own. Accordingly we cnn sec that tho fault of this delay ls not referable to Wilder, who-colored mau though Ito be seems disposed tu serve Ids native State as well as he can. Docs anybody Imagine that it is to thc interest nf Governor scott to thus play Into the hands of Sprague, the New England manufacturer of cot ton stutts, without some couxtiirratton ? In what docs that eon side ni; on consist ? Virtuous rulers never prostitute their power for money ; and our J Governor is a virtuous man.

Desolation In tho Tidewater Region of tho Stute -A faunce at thc nullica Plantations of Hean fort County Worthless Character of tho Labor A Strong Plea for tho Pigtails-Thc Cannibal Question, &c. UKAUKOUT COUNTY, October 20. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I've hoard a grent deni ol thc prosperity of tho South, and. Hint one or two more such crops as the present year's would make us ns prosperous as before thc war. In ninny of tlie best parts of the South, I don't believe, with the present available labor, ono hundred such crops as tho present would help; for I don't believe there ls a single planter in two-thirds of this county who has not steadily lost money since thc war. I have never yet beard of tlie first ono who bas cleared cr.pcnses, un less on Snvnnnah Uiver rico plantations. Why, slr, for want of labor, tho country 1ms become a mere wnsto-rats destroying; tlie rice, corn and cotton In the fields-nits and other vermin in Incrori'.blo numbers; fencing rotten or burned; tho few bouses left by the enemy going to ruin; uti the best hinds in broomgrass; cnnc-bilurs ten feet high; ibo freedmen preferring to half work tho poorest lands, which aro moro enslly culltva'ed. From flvc'mllcs south of Robertville, I will describe a few pinces: Mr. R. II.T.'s pince-about. 1000 ncres of open land-there used to bc mnde on lt. nunn,div, about l.'iO bales of cotton, 3000 or 4000 buslio s of corn. There could easily be made on it 500 hales of cotton. Tho present year, lhere will be made about eighty bushels ol corn and three or four bales of cotton 1 Tho next pince-D. H.'s-some very good hinds not. one acre cultivated. Tho next plantation, where 2000 and 3000 bushels rico used to grow, and 130 mid 140 bales cotton, and thousands of bushels corn, J. W. ifs. place, some twenty freedmen have made altogether 300 bushels corn amt three bales cotton. The next plantation, ono of tho best in the Slate, sate rico laods, good for from lilly to se vim ly-tl ve bushels rice per acre, and of tho best description, and wbcro twenty to forty bushels corn med to bo mado por acre, and much of tho land, If well cultivated, would yield ono or two bides, Dickson seed, per aero where 140 bales used to bo mnde, and thous ands of bushels frico and corn, there will bo made about sixteen bides cotton nud 600 bush els corn. None of the freedmen tended over two acres each, and of conrso only nominally tended. Tho next place-that used to make twenty or twcnty- lvo boles, with about rift eon or twenty hands-will tills year make four or five bales, in lt; und i'm ni there south, on thc Savannah Uiver rom), some thirty miles, lo Be niven's rice plantations, on which thirty miles there were flourishing plantations, seven or eight bales of cotton will cover all Hint will bc mode this year. " Again, going cast from Hennis' cross roads to lite Ktiliuw, passing one ol' Hiebest sections In this Stute, it ls no better, If as good, ns what I've described. The negro has become utterly Ihsufllclcntns n laborer, and, ns a citizen, a perlvct nuisance. There ls, perhaps, no pincent thc *~l.mth where emigrants would bu more warm!. . welcomed, or where they could do belter lu t m long run. The lands uro lucille, eonvoillenCt j market, and, for thc most purl, healthy. They aro In comparably superior to Um sea Isldrtds. Range for stock ls excellent, and, on th; 'alt water creeks, ubumlanco of llsh timi oystf i i. Colton cannot bu cultivated except with steady and reliable labor. Our hinds have been taxed from live to ten limes us much ns bcl'oro the war. For over a month niter the lax-gul berer passed hero not lt lunn Ol' lt shop could bc I'ciiinil who could change tl f7"> bank check. The tax collector lind swept. Hie coun try of nil the money, and I um told 'nany could not pay ut timi. As to tho stoning?, lt would be almost in credible by those who did not realist! il. Many have luid to break In their corn out ol' the fields, before it was well matured, to save lt from theft, and cotton ls stolen Kt ill worse. The negroes are In n largo maloritv over tho wh'tes. They, tho former, will elect the magis trates, anti you can Judge what chunco we have to bring n thief to repentance lbrough tho law. The whites may be sahl to have vir tually no rights; for a righi without the means ol' enforcing lt, is a word without sense or meaning. Some bf us are looking to the arrival of the Celestials willi sonic hupe, hut lear they will come too late Ibu most ol' us. lt Benins to nie thal tim Soul hern States could, with diversified Industry, reclaim Immense swamps-Missis sippi mill others-build railroads, make cun is, opornlo factories, te., mid lu ti few. years be able to support and profitably employ two-thirds ol'the whole population ot China. Thc value of lands depends upon the laboring population. Thc laboring classes lu China, I learn, live almost wholly on rice, onions and greens. All ulong tho s nbom d, and for tilly miles oil', more rice cnn be nuule per acre than corn or small grain of any other kind, and TJiopc be fore three years to see at least this section cul tivated by thc vegetarian Pigtail ,nnd tho grntiivorous buffalo. Thc first eau live on thc gndn, and thc lnttcr on the Btraw, grass, Sec., without expense. Two wcU'brokobuffa loes, ploughed each ' half a day, will do us much ns a good mate. I've seen accounts thnt in parts or China tliey are regular cannibals, probably mude from histories from travellers, siichjns the ve racious Ferdinand Mendez Pinto, "br liaron Munchausen, and this of a peo pb*- among whom hutmill life is so sacred that a man ls executed ll'he happens to tRl another by ac cident. Uni, I say, If they are cannibals, mid will comfinu themselves to the nigger mid the rots and other vermin, let them go abend. Would they do thc country much harm in tho long ron ? Most of the recent, accottnts con tinu impartial history, that tliey can live In any climate, and are tim most steady, ingeni ous and industrious cultivators ol' inc soil in thc world, ix t them come, we say, not by Hie thousands or hundreds nf thousands-by the hundreds of millions. If tliey are tarni hands and not town rats, as Tye-Kim Orr covis some of them, tho writer will give ihciu one-hniror thrce-lburtliB of lils lands, somo four or five thousand acres, If they will Bettie for life. No doubt hundreds of other proprietors vy*pl do tho Burne. Pass lt to China, Mr. NKWS, if you can.
