EDITOR: I feel ita duty I owe to my people, the country and myself, to publish this card. A few days ago, I was informed by a friend that false and scandalous re? ports were in circulation agni nt me, viz: That I was engaged, in connection with rny mercantile business, in sclliag spirituous liquors; and also that I was the father of an illegitimate child of a mulatto girl, which I partly raised in times of slavery-or rather, that this girl reported tbis. I positively deolare these reports to be false; and if this girl, who is not near here, has thus report? ed, sh0 was influenced by some.other per? son, who thereby expects to be sheltered, for we have her affirmations to the contrary. These reports are circulated for some fiend? ish purpose to shield others, to injure mo as a minister of the Gospel, as an officer of the Probate Court and my business in trade. I am prepared, (calling God to bo my judge,) that these reports are base, corrupt falsehoods. I feel that Ii have my faults as other men; but I have heretofore endea? vored to pursue an honest and straight-for? ward course in serving my country, both in an ecclesiastical and civil point of view, and shall so continue, against all the fiendish and devilish falsehoods that may be circulated, until my friends say' it is enough." Per? haps some of my friends may think I ought not to have made this public; but I want the publio to know that these reports are false, and that they aro published for fiend? ish motives, aud, at the proper time, with the proper information and persons, we will try what virtue there is in civil law for slander. My consalation is, that the day is coming, when the unerring Judge of the Universe will properly decido these matters, and will award each one their proper dues. REV. A. EFIRD, Probato Judge S. C. MAY 25, 1869. -o Sl'ARTANBURG ITEMS.-FOUND DEAD. Mrs. Patsey Ervin, who lived in tho Wast ern part of this District, was found dead in her bed several days ago. A jury of inquest was assembled, and they gave a verdict of "death from an unknown cause." A SEVERE' STORM.-Wo learn that a de? structive storm passed through tho West? ern part of this District, several days ago, demolishing fences, blowing down trees and several out-houries, and washing the lands, greatly to the damage of the growing crops. The storm, in width, covered a belt of about a quarter of a mile, which is dis? tinctly traced by the fallen timbers, nearly all of which then standing in its track new Ho on the ground. INFANTICIDE.-We aro again called upon to chronicle the occurrence of this inhuman crime, the fourth instance within the last two months-all colored. This case oc? curred in tho Western part of this District, at Ellis' Furnace. Tho child (colored) was found in a mill-pond, on Cherokee Creek. Au inquest WOK held, but no facts developed which fastened the crime upou any one. [Spartanburg Spartan. -o General Joseph E. Johnston is named os a candidate for Mayor of Savannah. TU? Cotton Trail-. The position' of the ootton and the cotton goods trade, (saya the New York Shipping and Commercial List, of the 15th inst,) has undergone no essential chango for the bet? ter, on either side of tho Atlantic, during the last month. There hns been a slight shading in prises of the raw s tuple, but the decline bas not kept pace with the fall in goods, and bunce there is continued com? plaint from manufacturers of a lack of pro? fits, and a general feeling of uneasiness. Stocks of cotton are everywhere below last year, while the supplies of goods are larger, though the production of the latter in Eng? land has lately been curtailed to the extent of twenty per cent. The production of goods on this side of the Atlantic bas not thus far beeu lessened to auy appreciable extent, though it is evident that, unless tho present depression and apathy in the mar? ket shall give place to a better tone, au abridgement of the hours of labor will be forced upon the mill owners, as it has been I on the other ?ide of the Atlantic. In this i way, accumulated stocks may be worked off, ?ind a proper margin between the cost of the raw staple and the value of the manufac? tures restored. The state of trade iu this country, bad as it is, is not so dishearten? ing, apparently, au it is in England. We have no such accounts of reduced wages of operatives, improvident strikes and general paralysis from our own manufacturing dis? tricts, us we have received from Eugland during the last two or three months, accom? panied by beavv failures. The falling oft' of 10,807,000 pounds of yaru, and 01,416, 000 yards of goods exported from England during the first quarter of the current year, compared with the same period in 186b, will go far to explain the present distress among the Lancashire spinners. From tho present outlook, it does uot seem likely that prices of either cotton or goods will undergo any marked change, until such time as a better idea can be formed with regard to the pro? bable supplies of the raw staple for next year, when the market will probably be subjected to a new ordeal. As it is necessary in Eugland to run thc mills full time, in order to realize a profit, the losses to the manufacturers, iu conse? quence of the short time movement, which hus been forced upon them by deficient supplies of cotton, must be estimated by scores of millions of dollars; while to the operatives tho losses and privations are even more serious. This state of affairs, natural? ly, has the effect to renew the exertions of I tho Manchester Cotton Supply Association ; to stimulate increased supplies in the new sources, and this they are doing by the ex- \ teusion of railways in India, and tho em? ployment of increased capital there and in every other country where the staple ean be raised. From tho views and efforts of tho English capitalists to obtain supplies from other sources besides the Unit?d States, our coun? trymen will understand the necessity of lending every exertion to secure at least a share of the profitable trade in which they formerly enjoyed a monopoly. It is for our planters and capitalists to consider how this great end may be best affected. It is evi? dent that labor must be more thoroughly organized in the South, and that the essen? tials of perfect order must be secured, iu order to attract capital to that seetion. Every consideration of sound policy and statesmanship demands that no effort should be spared to recover our prestige in the cot? ton trade. . Funeral Invitation.
