It is reported that the Czar, in reptly to the sura~mous of Austria, has coniented to evacuate the Prinxcipalties, and is already withdrawing his forces from beyond thme Pruth. It is arranged that the Austrian troops shall occupy the Principalities as the Ruis sians leave. The oflicial reply of the Czar to the Austrian note will not he sent until the 2d ist.

And indeed thne Turks know more about making and drinking coffee,-than any3 oth er nation. "If''twere dono wheon 'tis donie, 'fThen 'twere well, it wverej done 'Quickly."' This is perhiaps the best receipe for miaking collihe,tand when parched and nmado thius, in a hiurry, it i so gooid that it re qires no tiugar.

Now arc sere is nothing nutritious in coffee it would e better to drink our milk and sugar by self. If our cofTee were made right, n no would put sugar in it; therefore, what uts might be baurded, that are now ex ended to sugar ! In our ignorance too, of the proper ties nd qualities of criFfee as a stinulous we lo not drink it at the proper tite of day. ght, is not the tina3 to drink it, unless ve desiga to sit up and keel awake, like sentinel, or a nurse at the bed side of the ,ick. Nor is it good for the morning meal n as much as having slept all night, we ire wide awake, and resusitated by sleep, and at that hour, so it follows that the din aer hour, is also, the cofi.e hour. In the primal age of our republic, the 'Ifnmiontownians, Black-river-T'ackies and Samy-Swampers, were ignorant of the nocturnal god of malaria, and even if they had not been, had not lir the most part, the means of bilding, traied dwelling htotuses, closely ceiled and glazed, for the purpose of shutting him out, as they did n the rich and haughty high-hills. The result was that the latter slept morbidly, and was startled all night by spectoru and hobigoih!ias, (the result of rarefied and con fined ar) and whenr morning carme, could not open their eyes. and found it neces. siry to take " tody in the morning," or coflee ere they could rise from hed ; whereas, the pitey-woods folks, in their open log cahhins, could - rise with the lark, "Nature's great restorer" having been sound and undisturbed; and hence it is, they did not requirn "Toddy in the rmorning, or coffee, to rouse them up. And so it is even unto this day, the cus tom prevails among the Republican Aris tocracy, to drink coffee for breakfast; and armorg ithe piney woods folks who have grown rich and aristocratic in their turn to drink it for dinner, the time, insooth at which, it does us most good,-in as, - mruch, ias in a state of sound nature, they never learnt to fear the nocturnal god of Santee Swanp-malaria. So let us sleep with windows up, And have no cofliee, when we sup, So that we sleep sound, and wake, Just at the hour of day.breaw, Rest-.red so much, that ncvte a sinner, WIll coffee need, till after dinner, For, it we do not drink it then I'm shure 'tis so with niost of me.

To the People of S timter ..is Etrtict. 1ellor Citi:ens: More than a year ago I put a notice im t'ie Sumter Banner saying that I would not. he a candidate again for :he otlice of Ordinary, arnd I also stated to mwore thin one person, who had intention<i of runnrtring for the ''tie', that I would not run again; but I recollect th:t I then did rnot state rmy reasons for thus declinmrng to o'i'cr for the said oil! e, which I will now do. Up to that time. (I mean the tiun- of ry last electiotn) staine coin1:ants hadl been mrade aga inst the customi of gving this office to one man so long, it being profitatble on. ac count of the de:relict estates administered rvn by the Ordita:ry.

Ilan pesos I ma~y sa:y hrundreds in the District have reqiuested rme to offer aganin arid theoy turthier said that they intended to runa me again whether I consented or not, arid I have til to thi:s time an-awered them lhat I couldl not publlish aiyself as-a canidi date (though the (idiouts features of tire de relbct law hiad baeen repealed) bait yet if ehey would run rme rind elect mec I woutd-serve to the best of aiy ability. I have made this statemrernt of hacts to avoidi furture- mistakes andt misrepresenrtatins. It is trtue that I have tis pr'esent year administered two large estates btut nott as Ordinary or utnder airy derelict hniw. I have acted na~ a pri vare marn, arid trot ras Ordinary, in the Court. of Corimio Pleas arid have givena the arnal horid in such caises and threrefore tire Ordinary's Office hats no more to do with it than it has na ith openring the canal ltetweenr the Atlantic antd 1acific Oceans. I have stated the office to be not wvorth murchr withiout thre derelict law, and here follows about the average fees of it, there are abouti tifeen Intestaties Estates annu ally and ten Will cases thte average fees of which are about ten dollars each, say - - - 8250 4 Appoinrtmients of Grardian 12 2 Sales of land for Division 20 Copyitng papers, say - 20 making in all a little over three hundred dholla a year. Frorm this amount deduct tihe recordimg at 9i cents a copy sheet, and it will leave about onre hundred and fifty dhollars profit each year. If any perseon doubts this statement Ire can be convinced in five minutes of its correctness by exam ination of the oflice. I say fellow citizens i'', in conclursin, that if ever I recover from rmy presenat wouand (which I think doubtful) arid you think proper to elect me again without myself having to come and run as a canidante I shaoul d in sucha case feel. bound to serve to the best of my power.
