that immediately tho Sheriff granted bu

Town Money.?Wo understand that
tla bills of the town, which aro current

greenback* for them. We think this
course an uu fortunate one ; notwith
standing tho extreme scarcity of yreoo

money. To those putties who have such
uu abundance of the latter, wo beir to
siiy that we will be pleased to tulte town

again invite our readers to send us nny
thiug of not ft concerning tho ULftant
past.? Kd. Gazette.
Speaking of "products" of Kcrthiur
District, Mills says :
"In tho course of the revolutionary war
Mr. Broome, one of Col. Loo's cavnlry, pas
sed over the foundation of Col. Kershaw'n
mill. Struck with the mjvuntftgo of the
situation, ho returned when pcace took
plncc, and erected there as complete ft sett
of mill* as iuiy in the United Stivlos. In tho
year 1F;H), 4O,(X>0 bushels of wheat woro
lusnut'actured at two or throe mills?all
within one milo of Orimden ; and from the
proceeds (5,000 barrels of superior Hoar wore
delivered for domestic use or for export."
"Mr. 1'udolph, of t'nuulen. some years a
go(Mills, ho it remhered, was writing nt or
about lH2'i)pianted fifty or sixty acres of the
I'ulma t'hristi, or castor oil plant, ntid from
it? borrhv. expressed lar^e quantities of cold
?drawn caster oil. The pro'lnet wii? from
100 to 150 gallons per acre, and its medical
qualities woro us good as the imported
oil."
With respect to tho "prices of provis
ion*, of living, and of tabor, "he any*
anno 1826):
"Wheat sella for from 75 cents to $1 per
i bushel; ryo about 50 to 75 cents j oats 87?
to 50 cents ; corn 50 to 75 cents. But, as
I every planter raises his own Mipplies, thoro
is little for gale. The prices of theso were
| high."
Think of this, yo lienstevs. ^Thero
trail n timo when *ucft prieefl wore
thought high !!
"The expenses of living nro not 5:i propor
tion to tho priccs of provisions. In the
conntry, boarding would not be more than j
$!M) or $100 u year in Camden, $IJ) to j
per month. Good laboring hand?(fotiU(l)
will hire from $80 to $loOa year"
Ho tolls us the population and taxes
of tho. oounty were as follows:
"In 1800, when the eonsns was taken,
tl<e population of this district rated as fol
lows." 21.18 free white malos, 2K?8 free
blacks. 2jZ0 slaves ; total 7240- In 1820,
5028 wh!i< ; (MW2 slaves; 112 free blacks ;
total 12,41)2. The taxes annually (anno 18
2(1) amount to $7548 : namely : .on slaves,
t>4M4. 25 ; on free negroes 12?(or a little
lo#>? than 20 conts per head)/ on prftoelons.
? on stock in trade, 4(10} dollars ; on

Contrast this with present taxation !
Thcso were halcyon days, Mr. Kditor.
Low taxes, cheap provisions, homespun
clothing, hog and- hominy, hard cider,
honest dealings, oeensionaly a littlo "old
peach" and "npplo jack,"which a thiev
ish government had not jot learned to
pronouuoo "orooked On such a gen
erous regimen was nourished a spirit
which, if existing now, would " turn rtp
junk" and turn undor Chamberlain, Car*

alas I it is gone ; and wo haven't the

Mr. Kditor? Canvouorany of your

blush to say.

Mr. Calhoun und bin gifted coadjutor?!
led off with their "peacolul remedy of
Nullification." Parties divided on tho
rrmciiy, not on tho 'Tariff Question,'for
on this point nearly all were of one mind.
'StaUs llighta," the doctrine of Secession,
&c., were acknowledged by all the prom

that in tho 'Union Forty" were to bo

arable gric?:?i<< e?t. Mr. L:vng served his
.State and party faitfifully and well and
was highly prized by his constituents:
but at length achuso for differenco arose
The majority in tho Legislature woro
Nuilificrs, and enacted tho "tost ruth;"
providing uti o&th to a!! otlico holder.* of
primary State nlleginnco. Tho Act
wis injudicious nnd inopportune. It was
intended to proscribe "Uuion men, but it
avowed a principle >n accordance with
Mr. Lang's views aud professions; ho
believed in State* sovereignty and prima
ry allegiance, and in his voto adhered to
his principles and took issuo with his
puny; cast his vote sternly, quietly, with
calm dignity, and gracefully retired,
(lowing that the net ?lost* 1 his public
lifo. Uo lived to prove, tvrico over, his
faith by his works. Iii 185ii he stood
again by the banner of'Stute sovereignty
and "secession," and in IKUO he gave
earnestly of hia time and means to the
great, but now Most cause,' and had tho
satisfaction of greeting as bis comrades
iu that last campaign every survivor of
tho "fifty-seven. One of these survivors.
Col. Me Willie, his colleague in the leg
islature at tho timo tf tho "tent oath"
Vote, was retained by tho "Union Party"
to argue tho great cau^cof the constitu
tionality of tho Act bctoro tho great
'Court of Three," composed of those
grnud old Judges, William Harper, John
Helton O'Neal and David Johnson.?
The argument on both sides was able
and oxhaustivo, and will long stand as a
great constitutional debate. Tho deoreo
of this great oourt, Harper dissenting,
pronounced the ''Test Oath' unconstitu
tionul; but powerful fts were tho argir I
manta, lofty as wan tho character for
ability and intogrity of tlnsw two great
judges, tho decision was never satisfacto
ry in Ho. Cn. It resulted in breaking
up this great court, and in the late war,
South Cart Una scaled with tho best
blood of her best sous, on every field
from Gettysburg to- Texas, her devotion
to States flight*, Recession and primary
State allegiance.
Hearcd in tho Union School, with a
reverence which has known no change,
for tbe great arguments and advocates
for that decision, and for tho great Judg
es who made tho doerce, we have al
ways thought that Mr. L?ng was right,
and have ever admired and sppWndod
his oourso, which prompted him to sse
ritico his public lite rather than violate a
principle. It was easy for those to dis
charge a duty whoso interest, inclination

lu tho exciting fillips through whTch
General Blair passed, it was impossible
to aehievc position such as his without
many a hard eoulist on varied fields, nud
there aro many incidoutsof his struggles
on ilje musterr-fi'dds, where, in those
di>y$. every knight tvore his colors, and
Ihe.y were suro tu bo challenged ; on tlm
Hlisting)*, where ho had to meet great
men in debate; and on the field of honor,
where, in those days, few prominent men
cscape-1 a call; which it would bo inter
esting and instructive to mount, but
our limits forbid. Of the first, a speci
men could be found ir. the hero ot' all
the muster fields of No. Cn , who, "weep-'
ing that there were (in N. (J.) no more
worlds to conquer," cumo to the Wnx
huws to assert his manhood against Co).
Blair, and went back homo a'"wiser and
sadder man." Oftiie second, the eon
tent with Governor Manning nHorded
Hivoral instances* and of the third, his
duel with the bright vivacious Captain
Thomas 1*. Evans afforded a sample.
Blair, a.? u>ual. all earnestness, w< nt to
his work to carry out his purpose, and
shot Evans through the very middle
of hit coat. Xie have heard Col. Evans
say that TJlxir "stood thoro a huge mon
ster of a man, with a pistol as big as a
flour barrel oovering him all over, and
that hi? lifts was due to tho had fit of one
of Frank Allen's coats."
Col. Evans' life was wrapped up in a
very thin, spare budy, but th:;t body
was wrapped up iri one of Frank Allen's
fashionable coats, a world too wide. The
ball tore through the middle ol the coat,
xbut Evans' lile wn* on one side of the
centre shot, and Evans lived long to
laugh at Frank Allen's fashionable
coat.
His reputation in these respects and
his conduct and bearing in private life
mado two men of Ccneral Blair to our
young mind. Outside, ou tho streets, at
the barbecues, processions, <fco., wo saw
Ueneral Blair and trembled. In private
life, as a Utile boy, wo have sat uj?on
his knee, admired and loved his gentle,
winning tnaUmer and his emotional ex
pression beaming Irotu a luminous cyo
and noblo face, (us we delight ye', to re
call it after a lapso of nearly firty years.)
and yet, an hour afterwards, would be
| somewhat nfVaid of tlu)' otner General
Blair, whom we would soo on the streets,
Or on some public platform, towering
above all men.
In extremes of iron will and gentle
tenderness, he w?.s not unlike his groat
friend, "Old Hickory." They were
typos of tueu whioh more modern times
huvo greatly modified, if not abolished.
His only son, our valued and esteem
ed friend. Col. Jj. W. U. Blair, has in
herited the intellect, tho will aud gentle
iicm of his groat father. In physiijue
he approaches him somewhat in -taturo,
though otherwise thore is littlo personal
rcscnib lance.
