A New Proposition The people of Barnwell, or a por tion of them at least, are sail anxious for a new county. A meeting has been called over there for the purpose of discussing the practicability of the scheme, and the following will be the third subject disiested at said Con vention : ?Od. "To create a new County out of the upper portion of Beaufort and the lower portion of Barnwell Conn tics, designating the Sfdkchntchio River ns a boundry line, between such new Count}' and Barnwell County, and, at tho same time, ad ding a portion of Orangeburg County to Barnwell County." Taken from the last issue of the JBarmccll Sentinel wo suppose the above ia no idle proposition, and thould be combatted at once by the citizens of this Couuty. And that our fight against tho taking away of any of our territory may be suc cessful, it is absolutly necessary that wo should request Speaker Wallace to order an election to fid the vacancy occasioned by the expulsion of fctniker. Wc want another strong man in the House. Of course Mr. Recdish will combat the idea, but then he will need assistance. If tho Speaker will order an election we feel assured ol the choice of a good wan. Let the Kxcutive Committee see to it that the I interests of Orantrev i b?rg "are taken care of. A strong roan must be sent to the House, and we shall be quick lo point the blame toils proper place if default be made by those whose duty it is to watch the interests of Ornngcburg County. ? .- - -???? ? Hamptons Second message. State ok South Cap.oi.ixa, Executive Cham men, v Columbia, May 4, 1877.) Gentlemen of the Senate and Iloitseiif Jieprcscnta lives : 1 beg to call your attention lo the luud raised under the resolution of the House adopted on the 20th Dc ciinbci' last, and lo ask what disposi tion of the balance of this fund remaining in the hands of Gcueral Hog< od you desire made. As all the State officers are now installed in office, it may be proper that this fund should be turned over to the Treasurer as a portion of the taxes collected. I also bring to your attention the fact that this is the only amount available ju.>t now for the general expenses of the go verm en t. Tho last month's bills lor the limiutetnnce of flic Slate institutions arc due, and tliCEC accounts have hithcr'o been puid on the 4th of each month. If it is the wish of your honorable body that those liabilities should be dis charged out of this fund, I suggest that directions should be given to tho Treasurer lo tintt effect. In connec tion with this subject, 1 transmit , a lctlcr from Messrs. Cileaves and Purvis in reference to their salaries, and I recommend that provision be made to meet their claims. I have the honor lo lay before you also, the report of tho Superintendent of the instution for tiro Pcof, Dumb and Blind, and the memorial of the Palmetto Orphan Home. These institutions deserve considera tion, and I hope that such aid may be extended to them as will enable them to fulfill the charitable objects for which they were created. The report of the Superintendent of the former shows tlie disburscmeu ts I have mude for its support so far. As the condition of the Oiphan Home was deplorable, I have appro ted $500 to meet ils immediate and pressing wants. Wade Hampton. C?un<y Treasurers and Auditors. The bill to regulate the compensa tion of County Treasurers and Audi tors passed <hc third reading in tlio House on Friday last, which is as fol lows : Three per cent upon the first 10,000 two per cent upon the next 10,000, one per ceut upon the next 10,000, nnd one half of one per cent ou all amounts over 30,000, provided the some shall uoL exceed $800 or less than $500 per annum, except Char leston, where commission shall uot exceed 2,000.

Fort Motte Hems This little town has been laboring under the excitement prevalent to such places on the eve of their muui eipal elections; yes ! we have had a jolly good time and carried the Peo ple's Ticket" through with flying col ors and a swilt gale. As usual, there was it great many aspirants for the the offices, ranging from-sub lime to rcdiculous on our bulletin (stoor doors) a new ticket, nearly every hour. There was the blue ticket, flic black ticket, the white, the rend, the mixed, the buster, the new voters and several others; bu', the ''PecplcVswept the stakes like Dexter 2.171 and 11.

"Mollie Darling" rendered vocally was awful to hear. In fact the times were so "squally" that the Express on S. C. II. R. crept by and gave a "toot" as much as to say, we arc safe."

[com m u nic at kd.] EUftor Oranycbnrt/ Niks and Times : In the News and C turier a few days since, reference was in ide to a correspondent from this p who had furnished the E11 tor of that paper with some gratuitous lying con cerning myself and others. It w is a matter of surprise to me that a paper ol the. character of the News and Courier whose correspondence from this place even durin ( au exciting campaign has been exceptionally free from malicious lying aud personal abuso should have given currency to such slanders. T.uir public.Uiin in that paper without the name of the author gave them an importance which, such is his reputation, would have never followed the disclosure of his name. To brand any statement as a lie, one need but announce the mime,.of Jjija tnm^jncibua correspon dent as a * i's autliorr?tTTs"**ijo?-?_ is to well known here to dicceivo the most simple. Dispis-'d and discar ded by republicans and utterly without favor among conserva tives he seeks to drag othcrr to a level with himself. Holding oliice under Republican administra tion for the sake of its spoils and fattened at the public crib to the disgrace of the party, his cowardly instincts prompts him to seek im munity for the pas!, by an attempted affiliation wilh the Democratic party In this way, and by bis lies and insinuations about others, he hopes to divert attention ftom au examination I of his own rccorel und demonstrate I the sincerity of his conversion. I I denounce him as an arrant coward, i who after the manner of his kind attempts to ruin the reputation of another, while coticcaling the hand ihnt strikes the blow. I denounce ns a wilful aud malicious slanderer who, raking oil' tho lilth that has incrusted his own carcas. seeks to besmear another with his slime. I j dcuounce him as a ranting hypocrite who by vociferating "stop thief,' techs to distract attention from him self. I denouu e him as the embodi ment of all that is little, mean and I contemptiblo in a degraded human J l>eiug. As for myself I court the most unsparing and thorough investiga I tion. I trust the Grand Jury at tho the next session of Court will make an investigation of the matter, and j should they strike a trail especially rank with corruption and follow it up, I shall be greatly mistaken if there are not unearthed and brought to the light of day, some of the deeds of the virtuous correspondent of. tho News and Courier.

The seeds from which it was grown were planted last Sep tember, and the Judge informs us that it has thus far yielded him four tons to the acre, and says further, that in four years the same roots will yield double that qunutity to the same area of ground, It is fine food for all ki?ds of stock, is liked by the milch cow particularly, is teuderand rich, and said to be peculiarly adap ted lo sandy soil. Farmers might make a note of this to their advan tage. Window plants are as much appre ciated at this season as at any time of the year. There are few plants more beautiful than " the old classes of the rose?the Bourbon and the China. The China rose may be made to flower all winter by keeping it in a moderately warm room,.with plenty of sun light and pure air, having pin ched ofl'all its flower-budi. in summer and autumn. All roses need a rich, free soil and pure air. Roses that are blooming now should have occasional waterings of liquid manure ware. Keep foliage clean. The most trouble some insect that attacks our roses is tho Aphis. A strong decoction of qrnssia is better than either lime or tobacco water, as it does not injure the appearance of the plant. Pulver ized charcoal scattered into the flower pots is excellent. In Germany it is used for strikiug cuttings, and is found better than sand, as it supplies nourishment after they arc rooted. Fruit Recorder. Russia has a famous cavalry known as the t'ossacks, Their warfare is of the guerilla order, and they some times do terrible execution. When the broken fragments of Bonepnrte's great army rolled in confusion back from the blazing walls of Moscow these Cossacks folio wed. them like an avenging angel, and covered the roadside and ice-bound rivers ami mountain fastnesses with the dead bodies of the retreating and demoral ized foe. This fierce aud irregular irubjj liuvuUCeii conspicuous tin ring the past two hundred years of Rus-I sian warfare. Their system of fight ing is similar to that, of the Bushi ' Bnzouks or our plains Indians, j Appearing now on the flank, now at j the rear of the enemy, they wage a I harassing warfare aud do great execution with their pikes, swords auel carbines. Thousands of these dashing, iriegular troops accompany the Russian army in its advauce upon Turkey, and they will undoubtedly cut an important figure in the combat which is now deepening in Europe. - ?g. ? ? -; Oregon has a new expedient for keeping her citizens sober.
