Tho name of Greenville County, it is said by Mills, in his Statistics of Sooth Carolina, was derived from the remarka? bly verdant appearance of the country, and that of Kiohland from the large bodies of rioh ^highland swamp, which bordor ou the rivers. These are beauti? fully appropriate names, as muoh so now as when they were originally bestowed, and in themselves constitute a piotnr esqo.0 description of the Oonnties they designate. We doubt if the advantages and character of the rich lands of this County are fully known even to our own people. We propose to oull for the strange?" wbo may be within onr gates, looking for tjoathora hordes, sc sic el the useio'l etatomente and faets of this industrious compiler, and B?rne from other sbnrces, and at the same time re? mind ont own citizens of what it may be useful to them to consider. At the time Mills' Statistics was pub? lished, (1826.) Booth Carolina stood at the head of the Union in the value of her products, although the culture of the ?oil was necessarily limited. The glori? ous destiny which the author anticipated for her, from the completion of a eys tam of internal improvements, which would improve her navigable streams aid* reclaim her rioh deltas?"those rioh ?od inexhaustible tracts that border her rivers, tho cultivation of which would . exceed in tho value of its prodaots the agricultural wealtii of a whole State"? has not.been realized. These deltas re? main unimproved, and besides, large bodies of safe and accessible land, as fertile as'any country affords, lie neglect? edJ add uncultivated. We need not waste any time in inquiring into the eauaea of thjs, nor make any lamenta? tions over it.' Bather lot ua be practical, present such facta as may be of service now, and show good inducements to set? tlers to oomo and live here. Kiohland Connty is computed to con? tain 403,200 acres of land, and is thirty miles long on an average by twenty-one miles wide. It ia nearly equally divided between the primitive and alluvial regions, the latter predominating, how? ever. The highlands are composed of extensive regions of barren sand, covered with small pitch-pines and black-jaok oaks. The air here is remarkably salu? brious and the waters pure and'pleasant. No country is more healthy the year through. The rivers are bordered by a great extent of alluvial low grounds, whioh are so high as to be rarely affected by freshets,"and Are as fertile as the deltas of the Nile or the Mississippi. The river swamps are elevated about 100 feet above the ocean, and the sand hills rise from sixty to 200 feet higher. Per feot health and great fertility here ap? proach each other very closely. Along the margins of the rivers, the soil Is of the first quality, deep, rioh and highly fertile. The second quality are those .bottoms where the creeks rqn< The1 third uro tho high, flat, red, loamy'Iands The fourth are the sandy lands, some of which yield very kindly. The swamp lands on the Congaree are more exten? sive than those on Wateree. From Granby, just below Colombia, to Mo Cord's Ferry, (a distance of twenty-eight miles,) they would nearly average four miles wide, and are estimated to contain about 50,000 acres. Those on Wateroe are (on the Kiohland Bide) limited in width, until you got to Fine Bluff, whenco to Baglin's Creek they would average two miles wide. Besides ootton and corn, whioh are the main crops raised in this County, its soil and olimate are favorable to a great variety of rich plants, such as rioe, indigo, wheat, rye, barley, oats, tobacco, hops, castor oil bean aud madder; besides the vine and all the various esoulent vegetables, and every variety of fruits. Mills estimated land at the following rates: Lowlands on the river, $20 per aore; good nplands, $10 per aore; secondary quality of oak and hiokory or good pine land, $5 per aore; for inferior pine land, $2 per aore; averaging a little above $9 per aore. They do not oommand these prices now. Here is a large extent of country, rioh, oapable of produoing almost any crop, healthy, attractive, and contiguous to markets and towns, Cattle and other stook can bo kept in good order in the swomps, all tho year round. It is bound? ed and watered by noblo rivers, tho Wa? tered, Congaroe aud Broad, and has many bold orocks passing through it, whioh afford a margin of excellent soil, and in the volume, constancy and fall of their waters, offer excellent water powor for machinery. These are principally Little, Upper Cedar, Cane, Kioe, Gill's, Colonel's, Tom's, Mill, Sheer's, Lower Oodar and Kinsler's. It oraves oooupa tioD, settlement and improvement. It invites immigrants, whether they be tillers of the soil, stock-raieors, manufac tuiQiA&M artiiftnr. naphHiytt. pTchasaiB, lessees or laborers. Look After the Bill. In answer to iuquirfoa whioh havo boon addressejf to ob jm roferaiioo to t|&<a status of the bill to 'exempt manufacturing capital from taxation, we answer, that the last we heard of it, it was referred to a Committee of Oonferenoe of the two Houses, to arrange some minor disagree? ments. Whether it has been done or not, we oannot say. We trust that the I friends of tho measure, which is doubly worth "every thing else bofore the Legis- i lature, will protect it and see it safely through. Let it not fail from over-oon fidenoe in its merits, or frpm any over? sight. Nor should it be left to the last days of tho session. Acsion at once, To-DAi, is demanded upon a matter of snob vital conaequenoe, if it baa not al? ready received 'it. Oar readers will remember how it was that we have had no Oonrt of Sessions for this term. Through some aooident, the juries were not drawn within the time specified, in the Act regulating that matter, before the day of opening the Oonrt. Judge Carpenter Bostained the objection to the legality of the jury upon the ground that the clause directing the time, was of the essence of the matter, and mandatory. So no court was held, and ho effort made to have a bill pass tho Legislature ordering juries to be drawn, in order that it might be held. We urged the matter npon the Legisla? ture, Upon both general and speoial groundn. Some' other of tho Counties of the State, finding themselves in the same predioament, havo asked and pro? cured relief. We believe that Edgefield and Spartanburg have. Others are yet iu the condition of Riohland. In Lau? rent!, we understand, they havo no Tory Commissioner, even; A bill has been oarefally drawn and introduced into tho Houso, declaring that the clause directing the drawing of the jury, &o., is merely directory. This, if passed, would relieve all the Counties which are embarrassed by failure or ne? glect to comply with this provision. But the enacting olause was struok out, yesterday,' and we suppose the bill can hardly be revived and passed now. What dock this mean? What is the use.of so mnoh zeal in eleoting Judges, if the ad? ministration of justice is to be so muoh obstructed, and remedies for thio evil, wheu proposed, so little regarded? A speedy trial by a jury of his peers is one of the cherished rights of the oitizen, guaranteed in the Constitution. As things stand in many parts of the State, and in several Counties, a man under oharges, who, perhaps, being poor and friendless, cannot give bail, has to lio a twelve-month in the County jail, lorsootb, because there are no juries, or there is no Commissioner, or some mis? take or other in form or time has been made. Call you this republican govern? ment? Thb Wat of tub Riohteoos is Hard. This, wo Buppose, may be sai'd in view of the fact that tho honest people of New York, and all who do not lovo tho law'? baffling delay, find so much diffi? culty in getting to tho end of a oaso like that of Stokes, already convicted of the murder of Fisk. Tho press of New York generally had concluded that there was no hopo for Stokes aftor Judgo Boardman'a decision against a stay of proceedings, and that consequently he might prepare for tho gallows; but just at that point comes in the successful move in his bthalf before Judge Davis, grant? ing a writ of error and stay of proceed? ings in another oourt. On the bill of exceptions, tho case is yet expected to be carried to the Court of Appeals. Of course, a splendid follow like Stokes did not expeot to be convicted in New York for murdering any one that ho might kill, especially Jim Fiyk. and henoe does not mean to be hung for it vory easily. It is well said that tho effort to save Stokes is founded only upon the techni? calities of law, not upon a basis of right. Such quibblings may Bavo a murderer's neck, but they hinder justice It is one criminal's life against tho tvelfaro of tho community, but the cause of justice is greater than tho oauBe of ono man. A Spanish Tphtcat.?Tho Now York Herald publishes a "notice" that it states was received by the Cuban patriots in that city, which it construes into a threat to tho United States. It is di? rected to the Spanish nation, and after protesting ngainb tho inturfuronoo of England and the United States in mat? ters pertaining to Cuba, scys: "Incen? diary torches and corsair oraft are being prepared to prey npon the commerce of auy foreign nation who shall attempt to impose- their will upon us in case that our Government does not remember its duty of being Spanish boforo aught else." The editor of the New York Times says virtue is its own reward. So it is, but we should like to know how he found it out.

We make the following extract from a late issue of the Atlanta (Ga.) Sun: Thh Lath Fathkb O'Bjkxlouy.?Our Roman Catholic friends will, we are sure, read with interest the letter of Mr. Mi ohael Ma hooey, executes of the lamented Father O'Roiily, in which be acknow? ledges the receipt of $10,000 life insur? ance on the lute prelate, paid by that sterling and reliable oompany, the South? ern Life Insurance; and pay* the officers a high compliment for the promptness with which they settled,the claim. It is gratifying to see a home oompany sus? tain a reputation equal to that of many older ones; and while aware ol the ster? ling qualities of all the other oompanies represented in the oity, those who take policies in tho Southern Life Insurance Company will never regret it. On the general prinoiple of insurance, we believe it to be tho duty of every pru? dent man to carry a polioy on his life. When a man thinks of the wife so dear to him and the dependent children, then reflects on the uncertainty of human life?how the snapping of a frail cord would leave that helpless wife without a protector and those children ohivoring barefooted on the streets?it is enough? to make him sad. And yet how easily the scene might be ehangedl A few dol? lars annually would, in snob a melan? choly event, place the bereaved wife and orphaned little ones beyond the reach of want for a Benson, until they could see olearly the way to commence life's bat? tles. The Southern Life Insurance Com? pany has won the gratitude of the Catho? lic congregation here by its promptness in this matter; and none will be more grateful than the good priest's old mo? ther in Ireland, who is thus provided for by the forethought of her revered son. Atlanta, Ga., January 15,1878.?This is to cattily that I have this day received from the Southern Life Insurance Com? pany, ten thousand - dollars,. ($10,000,) beilr tho amount insured by polioy No. 8.638, on the: life of Rev. Thomas O'Reilly, deceased, late of this oity. In this connection, I desire to express my gratitude to the officers of the com? pany for the promptness and fairness with which the claim was adjusted and paid. Every facility was afforded and assistance given, which materially facili? tated the prompt payment of the policy. It is unnecessary for me to allude to the standing of this sterling company, so well and favorably known by its works; but I do wish to impress upon the public its promptness and fair deal? ing.
