He*tint* or Uu People?8UU1 Tax**.
Wf l**t Week published the proceedings of a
large aad respectable meeting of the eitlsens
tt (Massy Mountain Township, bold tb* 13th
August. Tb*/ were moderate, wtae aad patriotic,
free from party feeling, aad well oalcolated
to tmietwa pehUe opinion oa Just aad
prop?r means of rescuing the people of U
8 at* from the terflbV* oppreiilon of fa gll
t ixca, that a central board in Columbia ari.I*
tTarily doubles or fixes any way they like, and
gives to a few mch or to a single man tbe desI
otic power of Extorting unjustly money from
the oiUtens under tbe fortes of law. The whole
system of the taxes in this State is such es no
free people ought to bear when they have the
power of relisting themselves, easily and
peacefully by the biOiot.
The oply way the people oan be long op?
pressed in this country is by party excitement.
henoe we perceive that oflce seekers and office
holder* are always striving to get the people
to quarrelling about party matters, Instead of
attending tcr their true Interest.
' The proceedings of the meeting of the 15th
AugUst, at which Join Dili, presided as Chairman,
and Jermason Barton aetsd as Secretary,
ought to bo preserved by ell our eitisens
as frirnishiag the true principles upon which
republican liberty must be maintained. The
people ought not to quarrel with each other
but unite as one man to defeat high taxes and
high salaries aAd numerous officials, and multitudes
of hungry office seekers that come from
far and nehr to eht onr substance and tax us
at their own pleasure to a degree never known
before since the first settlement of this coun_
iff. Tbe meeting already referred to protests
against division and strife, because they feel
that tbey must unite In harmony to defeat the
common oppressors, and save themselves and
country.
And they say truly " division and party
Strife tend to weaken the efforts of the upright,
and put had men In power."
Another Meeting in Glassy Moon tain
We publish next srftek the proceedings
of another meeting in Glassy Mountain
Township. We regret that any eitisen of
Greenville should have attempted to vindi- '
cate the unrepnblican principle that a minority
of voters in this Congressional Die
trict should rule the msjority, or that they
should complain of the proceeding? of the
Grand Jnry in such gross terms. TheU.
8. Grand Jury was composed of some of the
best men in the country, and as pure and
honorable gentlemen as we kuow ; and sneh
men, acting, as they did, out of a regard for
the peace and order of eociety, the vindication
of justice and genuine republicanism
that public Representatives should olsim
their post when they receive a majority of
legal votes, and not by virtue of a large minority.
Sneh men presenting, as a Grand
Jury, nothing but undeniable truth andpure
republicanism, ought not ta ?bc de.
nounced as "degrading themselves and the
county." We regret that any of onr citisent,
however few in number, ebould have
set such an example of attaekisg good and
lawful men, that th? presiding United States
Judge commended for their faithful and ins
ielligcnt conduct, in enforcing the laws of
the country under his instruction. It is
even surprising that the lion.. A. 8. Waltact
permitted his friends, in hie presence, and
wiih his apparert sanction, to denoonce the
Grand Jury and County of Greenvillo as
degraded. We have supposed that he was
desirous of keeping on friendly terms with
the peoplo. It may be that he never ex
I'wva w uc vitcvcu try u wtijurivj ui wvfD,
and ia coatont with a minority. W? are
sorry for another thing connected with the
meeting of the 10th of September: That
any body in Ihia District, knowing that A. SWallace
was defeated by several thousand
voter, ahonld yet style him " member elect
to the United Statea Confrere."
We observe some views expr??sed in the
proceedings that are approvnble?all that
aims at reducing the taxes and expenses of
the State and Connty. But it will not do
to lay the blame of high taxes on the proceedings
of the former Legislatures, or to
say that because the State owed a moderate
debt before the war, that the increased
debt should be excused, end the extravagant
taxation And bigli salaries and appro
priationa palliated.
Death of Hon. "Win. Pitt Fessenden. of
Maine.
This distinguished Senator died on the
1th instant. He was a Republican, but one
of the seven that voted against the impeachment
of AndrkW Joiw?*os?. fTis independence
in that matter wHI doubtless give him
more lasting fame then my (ther set of

The excellent addresses delivered on tho oeonsios
were well ooleuloted to oneosrngo the
Bible canto, and doabtloea reaay hearers present
made np tbolr mind to eostrlhato to the
noble object of supplying the dostftnia. Pr.
Bdist, as Chairman of the mooting, appointed
oereral gentleman to wait on tho congregation
for subscriptions of membership, and contribution,
which they AM with considerable sneieas.
The work of tho American Bible Society it
vast snd liberal, corresponding with ths sontrfbOttons.
It was organised in 1818, and has
auxiliary societies In every State and regular
agents. The sum total of issues and circulation
during the your ending 13th May, I860,
Is 1,388,811 volumes, and the entire number of
Volumes issued in 53 years (to that data) is
*6,141,731.
The Board.of Managers had the pleasure of
reporting the restoration of tho Society throughout
the Southern States. Ths agents occupying
every one of these State, report 881 auxiliary
and branch soeiatiea. The receipta from
! these and branch societies last year were $75,589.74.
Plans are on band for enlarging the
work of the Society at home and abroad. The
publication department exhibits a notable increase.
Tbe circular itsuod by the American Bible
Society immediately after the war, erineed a
most Cbristain spirit. In 1881,11th July, th*
board of managers resolved, " they saw no
cause to make *07 alteration la their preetloe
or policy of supplying auxiliary societies/'
and accordingly the board, in a noble and true
Christian spirit, continued to sead Dibles Booth
during the war as opportunity offered. We
annex tho following extract from the olrcolar
issued from the Bible House, August 1863f
specifying some of the work done in carrying
out the resolution we hare quoted.
" Twenty thousand volumes for Gen. Joseph
B. Johnson's Army, before the fall of Yicksburg;
25,000 to the Southern Baptist Sunday
School Board ; 50,004 for Gen. Bragg's Artny>
after the battles of Chattanooga and Lookout
Mountain; 100,000 for North Carolina troops
and people, donated to the Board of Army
Colportage of that State ; 50,004 to the TransMississippi
Army. Added to these at various
times were miscellaneous grants of many thousands
of volumes to the Kev. 2>rs. Sampson,
Stiles, Taylor, Leyburn, Moore, Rot. Mr. Kepler,
and other*, for diatribution by thomaalvas'
or institutions represented by them. No application
of the kind that waa properly endorsed
has ever been refused.
Rev. E. A. Boli.ks, the indefatigable and
worthy Agent of the Soeiety, lot this State
has his head quarters in Colombia where he
may be addressed at any time.

We have totnelhieg new to report to our

heading of this arliela. Mr. Samuel 0.

the finer order of Dry Goods?thep will,
however keep well supplied in both lines;
therefors in future there will be no necessity
for those living in West Greenville to
"cross the Rubleon" to procure the belter
qualities of goods. This will no doabt be
an establishment that will reflect credit on
otnr merchandising eommnnity.
The building to be occupied by tbem, bee

near Messrs. DatiO A 8tbam.ky and C. F
Watkbs, on Pendleton Rtreet, and will be

But it may not be so rsadily admitted!
that tha attendance ia better la WlnUr than
in Summer. Such, however! ia tha fact, aa
appears by the record of the Female College
at least, for several years past This
fact may ba accounted for in various ways,
but thaoinple, ibpogb important fact alone,
and not tha srpllnaUoa used ba given her*.
Another ad vantugs gained by having one
Session instead of two, (nod this Is certainly
an important consideration lor the patron*
of the School,) is the actual saving of money
eesurvd by tha former plan. Tha atudeots,
with very rara exceptions, will go home to
spypd ibe Summer vacation, however short
it may be; and although tliey may aspect
to return the ensuing Session, and the pa.
rents are thus subjected to the cost of two
sd?|itlonaI trips, whieh, if the/ live at almost
shy point below Columbia, amounts to
enough money to pay half tha year's tuilion.
But it may be said tbat tbey n*eJ

not desirable, aad by no tatssi for thefr,

remain away Aon hows for * month.or six
wtfdre; with nothing at ail to do.
Tt lias also been asserted tbat pareota
