AGENTS. S. P. Kinard, Newberry. Samuel Droutbitt, Greenville C. rt Wm. Moore, Abbeville G. H. Julina Poppe, Anderson C. H. Gen. J. C. Breckenridge. The Richmond Times has the fol lowing exceUent article on this gallant ! Southerner: At tho recent term of the United States District Court in this city and we suppose it can be called a "term" upon the principle of "iucus a non lucendo," for there was no law whatever authorizing it-a weak minded jury, nt the instigation of an ignorant judge, indicted, it is said, on? of the most eminent Ame? ricans now hving-C?en. John C. Brackenridge; It is said '.his was ? done in order to throw an obstacle in the way of the Executive's clemency j towards this distinguished gentlemen. Ii such were the idea, it was a most | fallacious one; for the pardon of the j President can be granted nt any time, ! and when issued, relieves its recipient j of all disabilities and penalties which he may have incurred under tho laws of the United States. We doubt if, saving and excepting j Gen. Lee, there is a single Confede rate leader more endeared to the hearts of the Southern people than ! John C. Breckenridge. There is j scarcely one whose influence for good among them would be greater in i these troublous times. His life has | been devoted to his country, and of him that great lawyer and good man, i Chief Justice Taney, once said, "he never knew a purer public man." Those qualities of heart and soul that excited the admiration of and called forth that remark from Judge Taney, are well-known to and find response in Andrew Johnson. It is this fact which excites the apprehen? sion of the radicals, and renders them clamorous for his outlawry and exile. They well know that in John C. Breckenridge the President would find a fast friend and firm supporte! in the wise and statesmanlike policy he is pursuing for the restoration of the country. Mr. Breckenridge had scarcely passed the age of manhood when, as j major of the famous First Kentucky ; Cavalry, in response to tho call of his ' country, he served with marked dis- \ tinction on the bloody field of Buena ; "Vista. His conduct in battle, Ins daring bravery, is said by th se who witnessed it, to have reminded them '. of the famous Paladins of old. As j an orator, he scarce had a peer in the j . Congress of the old United States, j Those who heard his eulogy upon Mr. Clay, and his oration upon leav- I ing the old halls of Congress for tho ? new, will long remember those flights of eloquence, blending tho chaste beauty of Cicero with Demosthenic ! strength, that were poured forth with j the ore rotundo that marks the mau j who is born an orator. There was ! that electrical sympathy between ; himself and his audience that only such a once can produce. As a sol-1 dier. there was that indescribable . quality in him which all great chief- : tains have possessed, and which ?so I essential to a successful warrior. There was something in the very ap- j pearance of the man, as he rode into ! action with the light of battle ou his i hus^lsome face, which inspired his | troops with frantic enthusiasm and gaye the faint-hearted triplo courage, j His noble and generous spirit, iu 1 which united the bravery of a lion i with the gentleness of a woman, we ! feel sure never stirred up strife, nor 1 entertained bitter, implacable feel? ing?. Daring Christmas week, 'GO, ! after South Carolina had withdrawn ! from the Federal Union, in his room 1 at the National Hotel, in the city of Washington, we heard him reply to a friend who said that he hoped again to have the pleasure ol' veting for him for Presiden^ "I trust in God i we may once more have the privilege 1 of voting for President nuder a j united country." Remaining at ! Washington at. his post of Senator ! from Kentucky as long ns thero was a hope of averting the internecine fratricidal war, when his efforts were useless before the storm of popular fury, be cast bis lot with the cause he thought just. History will record his prowess and feats of arms. In quiet and dignified retirement, in a secluded village in Canada, thia eminent soldier and statesman, whose great heart beats with but one re* spouse at the thought of his country and fur her good, now awaits the progress of events that may restore him to his li?me and kindred. To liim we can quote sadly and feelingly that touching ode of the Latin poet, "Quis exsul a patria," etc., and pray for his speedy return to his people.

GEN. FOREST AS A FARMER.-A correspondent of the Memphis Ap? peal says: "We were pleased to see that Gen. Forest is so well satisfied with Iiis planting arrangements. We met on the river bank, and the gene? ral was dress in blue pants and gray coat, and his hands denoted that he had been at labor. The investigating committee at Memphis find nearly 200 distinct crimes perpetrated within the three days during which the riot continued, many of them by police and other city authorities, embracing murders, rapes, arson, burglary, highway rob? bery, maiming, etc. It is estimated by some of the Ala? bama papers that there will be at least 1,000 convicts sent to the peni? tentiary before next Christmas. Near? ly half of that number of negroes are now in the jails of that State, in? dicted, in the main, for larceny. Head-Centre Stephens says that Ireland has lost 3,000,000 of its in? habitants, and will, if help Ls not given, lose 3,000,000 more, when there would be left only Scotch and English inhabitants, with a few re? creant Irish, worse than either. A western editor wishes to know whether the law against carrying of deadly weapons applies to doctors who carry pills in their pockets. Dr. Lave, the acrobat, proposes to walk a wire stretched over Niagara Falls carrying his wife and son on his back. SPECIAL NOTICES: MAH.
