We would call nltcntion to the advertisement
of the above popular fertilize,
sold by W. C. Dukes & Co., Ag'ts.
at Charleston, S C.
The manufacturers considering the
tightness of the money market, have
reduced their price to 550 per ton of
2,000 lbs. at Factory, for cash, or 805
payable 1st November, 1S71, without
interest, if purchased on tiuie.
We need not recommend this compound
to those vrlio have already tried ;

Mr. Editor?Sir : Can you inform
a subscriber from the country why some
of the County officer? do no't attend at
their unices more regularly than they i
do i It is hard to have to ride twentylive
or thirty miles to see the Judge of
Probate on important business, at a i
time of his own appointing, and j
then learn that he has not been seen at j
Iits office that day. I would conclude i
i '
that ;t must Lo a source of great unimy:
ante to the lawyers in town, when they
wish to refer to the old records of the j
Commissioner in Equity's office, now
in the office of tho Probate Judge, to
find the door inhospitably closed against
them, and they forced to retrace their
steps away up town, probably throwing
iway a bait-hoar of valuable time. We
used to thiol; that a man was elected to
serve his constituents and the public at i

reversed, and constituents servo (lie !

Tha geiKr.il situation in France in- 1
creases in interest, ana every movement s
of the hostile aruiie3 is indicative of an approaching
crisis.
One of the most important battles of
the war wis fought on Wednesday last '
at La Mans, which town, after a conflict "
ot six hours, was capture d. The French
claim to h ive maintained mo*t of their
positions, but the fail of the city rendeis '
the German victory complete. Both v
armies suffered terribly. The Prussian c
forces engaged arc estimated at 180,000. I
This defeat is generally considered con- '
elusive of the hopelessness ot the French
cause, and, taken in ^connection with j
the vigorous and successful bombard- (
ment of Paris and it? defences, enconrages
tlie belief that the French capital j
is in its last agonies, and that in spite i
of Trochu's proclamations an early
capitulation, to be followed by peace, f
"somehow or other," is inevitable. 3
On Sunday night last, Paris was on
fire in several places, and for an hour a "
brisk fire was mnntuined on I he burning
portion of the city, which were excellent
marks for the gunners of the Prus- j
sian butteries. The liirng recouimenced
at midnight, and wa< do^tinued at t
intervals up to the latest advices from f
the beleaguered city. The Prussians *
have captured the French baftery of i
Notre Pa me situated on theKiycGauch- f
cr rail way. line 17l'0 yards iirxdvancct; |
of the rest of the French batteries. | j
The Ore that did tho-iuod damage was
sustained from the advanced buttt-ry, -j'
which wow commands one mile further j
range into Paris. General Vinoy lately
reviewed the French troops outside j
the walls. The soldiers cried for peace, g
but the general told them lie chose to a
take them into Ore. jAmong
the latest rumors is one to t
the effect that Trochu contemplates an i
early evacuation of Paris, nod the con c
central ion of his army iu an immense s
entrenched camp at iMont Valericn, on c
thi west side ot the city. Speaking of '
this contemplated movement, a letter j'
from Paris, says: i
"The advantage to be gained by thus s
evacuating Paris is plain. Mont Ya- .c
lcricn is now a work of tremendous a
stren'gh, commanding the whole city. 1
If Trochu c.in place witliiu its Hues the *
army and the guns and provisions of p
the capital, he can easily afford to throw
open the gates of Paris to the besieg- '
crs. The latter will have a whi.ltpopulation
to feed, and will capture no ri
materials of war of any couscjiicncc. 3
The army of Palis will however, bo
intact, sheltered by wurh'3 etjv.bloof
standing a prolonged siege, nud armed
with the heaviest guns ai:J provisioned
for a year to coinc."
The latest advices convey tlic intelligence
that the bombardment of Paris is
kept up with unubnting fury. Troehu, d
in order to divert the tire of tlm enemy, '
has tuadc a scries of vigorous sorties :
from all sides of Paris, in which the | c
fighting has been fearfully desperate, I 'i
but fruitless to the French. The I "
Germans ire reported as having com-j [!
mcnced mining operations against one 1 C
of the principal forts in front of P-ni--, i
and the French, aware of the enterprise, j c
arc employed in countermining. A t
giand explosion is consequently expect s
ed to occur at any moment.
Idovc complete. reports of the bctficof
Lcldaus coiilirm those previously received,
as to the magnitude of the engagement,
and the utter do cat of the
French arm of the Loire. It is g nor
ally looked upon as conclusive oi the
hopelessness of the. French cause.
Though the French on all side* appear /
to maintain a brave front, there is e< r- ,
tninly little or nothing in - the general a
situation that can afford them cay sub- a
stantial encouragement.
Our E elm; m it ion.?Every, man
who has been botn in tlic Sou'll, longs
to sec it rise from its ruined condition.
This, every true patriot believe?, she
will do. I!ow i?? this to he accomplished?
. Not by folding cur hands iifc idleness,
'nor by murmuring and repining
on account of bard times end high I
taxes. The limes are not near us hard |
as they have been, and if the taxes are v
high, whining about it does not pay
them. Yi'c deplore the miserable state ; n
of things which now exists, as much a- any
one. A vast am cunt of money is
annually expended for nuisances'
The condition of things is abnormal. ^
As it was in the days of the patriarch |
Job, so it is now. The oxen are plow c
ing and the asses arc feeding beside ?
them. Jeroboam, King ol Israel, made J,
priests of tlie lowest of the people who o
were not of the sons of Levi. Now we i *
have priests and prophets, and ail soils '
of officers, from the petty constable to
the dignified Governors of States?j
from the riff raff of society, fivcry i
right-minded man viewssifml a sfcrt4- of {
things with disgust. It sickens him
and produces a kind of mental loathing.
Our redemption, however, decs
not lie in brooding over our m is fori rr,os. \ p
it. is placed, with the blessing of 1
Heaven, in ourselves. We must all go' '
to work. Everybody must become a j 8
producer as well as u cousumor, xWo v
have 110 need for drones, or idlers, or C
gentlemen of leisure. * * ?
n n
Many of our people, because they i,
cannot do as they once did, seem to
have formed the fixed resolution not to "
try to act at all. They have become t(
desperate. Others are smitten with a
spirit of apathy, and fold their amis in indifference.
This is not wise. Such
persons might lenm an important 1- scon
front a flock of ge<-se. These fowls, in 1"
the midst of a hail-storm, stand with h
their heads erect, exposing as little o|' ?
their bodies to the frozen rain as possible.
Tito duty and iutercst, t<?o, of
every good citizen at present, is to
stand erect. Instead of crouching be i
ncath the load of oppression, why not fi
summon all our streugth, and like brave
men, redeem our country from its
prostration? It i.i an old saying, nud !
experience proves ifs truthfulness, that
"tho gods help them that'hslp tbem>
