At the court of general sessions, now sit iiiig in Orangeburg, the grand jury return ed allQ against J. J>. Humbert, late coury^ treasurer of Orangeburg, aud Franklin J. j Moses, Jr. Upon the finding of the grand j jury, Solicitor Butti moved that a bench warrant be issued for the arrest of Mo*es, whioh km grunted by thocourt. Sheriff Cain procoedcd to Columbia that eight, for the purpose of carryingout the or ders of the court. Moses, however, refusal to be arrested, and, by verbal orders, called out the Sutc Militia to guard and protect 1!is Excellency. The colored troops rallied nobly to their commander's call, and placed themselves in position to keep the governor from being transported n et armis (by the legs and arms, as an exchange translates It.) Meanwhile, the haiJerupt governor of plun ders! South Carolina was busily engaged in ragallng his subordinates with champagne and cigar* within the iuncr walls of the Ex ecutive Mansion. Finally, however, after advising with his conpsel, Muses agreed to appear before the coroner of Riohlaud, and file his bond for his appearanco at.court. The day for the trial has been set on Fri day next, 29th inst., and now it remains to be seen where it if all to end ; whether in Moses' rceloction to ^he gubernatorial Jhair, or his appointment^) an apprenticeship in the manufacturing establishment of J. B. Dennis, which is comnioaly known as the I'kkitkxtast. Our readers in town shall bo kept ported by diagrams of the xnost ' important tqr^ mony given during the trial ; that it, if there is to bo any trial. HRING THE MILLS TO TIIE COTTOX. South Carolina presents, at thia time, the best field for cotton factories in the United States, and there ia now offered one of the be*t localities in South ?arolina . roa A ORKAT MAXUrACTUaiKO CR.TTBK. Camden Is aituatod at the head of steam boat navigation on the Wateree river, and upon one of the termini of the 80. Ca. Rail road, connected through it, with all the roads in the State. By refcronce to an act of the So. C?^ leg islature, copied below, ft will be aeen. that all such industries, are exempted for ten ytmr* from taxation. This completely gets over the objection to making investments in a State autyect to am irresponsible taxing power. , Bto Pivr Trsr Ca*rr, running through an unbroken forest that belts the State, furnishes a never foiling sup ply of water, rising in the heart ofths sand hills, that follow its course with tloping bmnk* rendering dangerous freshets impossible ; until within a mile of the rivor swamp. It . never falls in the dry est season. There arc five mill-sites upon the crcck ; the farthest t?ni miles from the town* Four have boen established as mill scats, for a great many years?one, though begun some years ago, wss never finished. The first and second are Thk MoRai Kstatr, of 3000 acres of land. The stream. In the time when Camdon ground 40,000 bushels of wheat was brought to thia the leading lour ing mill, by a canal a mile long, tip to the town limits, and the old site ia within a %w hundred yards of the railroad depot. Com bining the fell of the two, would give a pow er of 25 to 10,000 spindles. At the^ead of this pond ia the seeood mill seat, belonging 1o the same property. It bat been need as a saw-milt for many years, and has around it, an abundance of yellow pine ftrtmiiding purposes, and oak wood for fuel. Parties wishing to purchase would of course satis fy themselves of all these points. A pert of tho purchase money would probably be taken in stock and some of the s\pck taken up jn thr community. Third site is upon the asms stream (Big Pint Tree,) and is known aa MaUKOO MiLLS, six miles from Camden. The water power is liere very fine. Tha mill has bee* ia op eration aa* a saw and eora mill foe sixty or seventy yesrs. Th?f|oce?km l? as beakhy aa any part ofthe world.

Thero is a great dual of good arable land on this tract, and would act lie a colony of a hundred families on good laud iu a fine climate and an alwo lutely healthy country. This tract is within nine or ten mile* of town. A obtton factory established hero would give a value to the outlying lands that would make them sill \ for more than the purchase money. These five sites control the entire ircck : frt^m the river swamp to its head. Tlic creek swamps and the ponds themselves arc filled with u hoary growth of large sited JlStPEO Tbccs, which could be worked up profitably under the same act exempting from taxation. The*e lands could be bought at very low prices, when their value is considered, separately or as a whole, repressing an approximate power of 50,000 spilidles, which would cre ate a nnsT rttss m vNt i-irTi ntNGCE\TrF., with every advntituge of locality and climate, the cheapness of lights, fuel, clothing and j provisions.

Kuitor :?Will you permit a poor, exhausted, broken -down, over-worked be ing, commonly designated a* a c&rk, to say a few words to your lady readers ? They may not, (at least some of them) be aware of the fact that the principal mercantile houses in our town have agreed to closc at bait-past sit o'clock in'theafternooR. The reason of this will bo evident to any one who know* what "clerking" is. What I desire to say to the ladies, is that tfiey hare pity and oompaasion on us poor fellows, and do their shopping m auoli s time as not to deprive us of the advantage to be obtained in closing the stores? at the time statod above. We are alwoyt ready and fi ling to'serve them in our ? clever" style, but on behalf of my ill-fated companion* I do moot earnestly and piteously beseech them ??> let us have what is offered by our em ployers. " COUNTER HOPPER. * A COINCIDENCE. It is a little singular thai a Russisn\)uke, the Csar's nejfhew, and tl* Governor of ^n ' American 8tate, should be arrested In the same week for grand larceny. But the sim ilarity of. the comparison fails here. The Russian Prince wss imprisoned ; our Repub lican prince, Thief Moses, protects the maj esty of his persdfi with soldiers.

Thus, if the crop raised is 2 million bales, 60, 30 cents per pound 3 million bales, 60, 20 cents per pound 4 million bales, 6i), 15 cents per pound 5 million bales, 60, 12 cents per pound It will thus be seen that under the ordin ary circumstMnces, 3 million bales of cotton are as valuable to the planter, and will bring as much money as can be obtained for 4, or even 5 million bales. A small crop is in creased in vulue by speculation. A large crop is reduced in value by any dis turbance of the money market, or by war, p> stilence or famine. The surplus laud can be profitably occupied iu producing pork, corn and hay, without reducing the value of the cot ton crop one dollar. Try it.?Q. \ Atlin $ Circular.
