The men were carried through the tactics and manual of aruis by Cupt. DuBo.se. and attained considerable proficiency after a little practice. As the company had not adopted a name, they decided to call themselves ' Oakland Guards" A. M. Dunn. Esq., was elected 3rd Lieutenant of the company. The members of the corps arc full of the right spirit, and when they net their uniforms and their arms and accoutrement?, will be a fine-looking body of men.

Missing.?William Adiinsoo and James Hoby, the ioung colored men whom we mentioned la't week as having been takeu upas vagrants, were carried before Trial Justice Hav, who released them upon their own reeognizaucc to appear bcf>rc him on the -3.1 instant f>?r trial. When the day arrived both parties were missing, and they have not since been heard trom. The trial, however, went on, and they were found I iruilty of vagrancy.

A Mistakk.?The Charleston Xens ami C'ourar. ol a recent date, states that sixty-five cdorcd p? op'e from Ker>haw ci untv had arrived in that city * I to await the coming of the Lilerian ; ship. After diligent and careful enquiry, we can hear of ro such party having left any portion of this county.

The father and mother, deeply moved by the transgression of their children, paid tlio owner of the pig its value in money, which was two dollars and a half, and nske I hiui if ouc hundred lashes upon each of the boys I would satisfy him.

Is Peace as is War.?Among the Grst sabres drawn and the last, to b?' sheathed in defence of the South were those of the Bcykin Hangers, otherwise known as Company A, Second South Carolina Cavalry.

In the front rank cf these dashing cavalrymen in n any a gallant charge were two fine-looking young follows and splendid rider*, Charles J. MeDowall and William A. Antrum, of Kershaw, two men of whom that county should be proud. The former was wounded at Perryvillc and captured at the second battle of Hrandy Station, an 1 kept in prison until July, ISO."). The latter did as I hard service, but had better luck.: Since the war both the gentlemen have i come again to the front as good citizens | and hard workers. Capt. MeDowall is! once again a military man, having been appointed Adjutant General of Gen. K?uncdy'? division. Mr. Ancrum is the heed 01 the new firm of W. A.

An ed ucated hoc and I'uncb and Judy show slipped into town last week, and hung out its banners at the store hou?c one door south of Bronson's tin shop. The price of chickens and eggs, though still much higher than purchasers would like for it to be, has tumbled considerably since Christmas.

Efforts arc being male to revive the old Watcrcc Cornet Band, and if successful, the name will be changed to the Kershaw Guards Band, and it will become an appendage of the noble corn- j pany which bears that name. How to avoid much suffering, and in many instances absolute starvation, is a pregnant question in some localities. To re-enact the lien law in a modified form would give the necessary relief.

Liens on Crop*. Some difference of opinion seems toj ' prevail concerning the scope of the Act j of the Legislature repealing the lien j law. Tin: (jucstion has been asked whether the landlord's lien?to the ex* | tent of one-third of the entire crop? may sfill be enforced. A consideration | of the different statutes on the subject i will clear away all doubt. The act repealing the lien law is as; follows: "That Sections 55 and 50, Chapter CXX, of the Revised Statutes, relative to liens on crops, and nil amendments thereto, are hereby repealed on and after the first of January, 1873. All j Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent wun i this Act arc hereby repealed." The sections referred to in the forego I ing Act arc as follows: Sec. 55. "If any person or persons shall make any advance or advances, either iu money or supplies to any person or persons who are engaged, of*i about to engage, in the cultivation or j the soil, the person or persons so ma- ' king such advance or advances shall be entitled to a lien on the crop which , may be made during the year upon the land in the cultivation of which the ad-1 vances so made hove been expended, in preference of all other liens, existing or otherwise, to the extent of such advance! or advances ; Pvutithd, an agreement! iu writing shall be entered into before i such advance is made, to this effect, in which shall be specified the amount to i he used, or in which a limit shall he ' fixed beyond which tho advancet, if from time to time during the year, shall not go; which agreement shall be recorded in the office of the Register of Mesne Conveyances for the county in which the person to whom the advances ..re made resides, within thirty days from its date*" Section 56 Mtnplv prescribes the method to be pursued by the lietiee, in the enforcement of his right under the lie. The Aet under which land'ords have i a lien for ti rir rent is as as follows: "That in all cases wlu-re. land is rented ' either for a share of the crop or for a stipulated sum of money, or for so much 1 cotton, corn or other product of the -oil, the land 60 tented shall b*i deemed : ind taken to be on advance for ngricul-1 tur-il purposes, and the landowner, upon | reducing the contract of letting to wri-' ting and r. cording the same, as provided in ?55 of Chapter 120 of the Re-' vised 5'atutes, shall have a lien on the crop which may be made duriog the year upon the land, in preference to all other liens, existing or otherwise, to an amount not exceeding one-third of the entire crop so produced, to be applied to the satisfaction of the rent stipulated to bo paid. In all such cases, the landlord shall have nil the rights according persons advancing money and other supplies, as provided in ??55 and 56 of the same Chapter, to the extent of one-1 third of the crop as above stated. (Statutes at Large. Vol. XV, page 789." It will thus be seen that the landlord's lien is not created by tho sections repealed, hut by a separate and distinct' statute. 1 hat statute has reference to! the repealed sections only so far as tho latter prescribe the methods to be pursued hy the landlord in enforcing his rights. Tho repeal of these sections,! therefore, does not in any way impair: the rights of landlords to their lien on one-third of the crop. The statute U lis... rnmnine inf'irO \"nr creating ruuu iivii tvi.u.i.o n.v^v.. ..v. does the sweeping clause of the Act of IS77?''That all Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act arc hereby repealed"?affect the landlord's lieu. Tortlie Act creating that lieu is nowise inconsistent with the provisions of the Act of 1877. The only connection be-1 twecn tho Act giving landlords a lien and the sections of the lloviscd Stat, utes providing a lien for advances is that the remedies provided in the latter arc made applicable the former.?
