Dear Sir:—In reply to yours of Mon day will *v, that after Mrs. F on tag and son started handcuffed I was sorry fur them aud to«>k my hors* and buggy to them. No arrangement** were made pre vious to their .Urting, neither with Mrs. Sontag and son nor tlie C. S. mar shal. I did not charge her anything for the use of my horse and buggy. 1 over took them about three quarters of a mile from tlie place where they started. S. T. IXAMNETT. A' gentleman of high character and utiddublecT veracity informs us that lie *aw Mrs. Sontag and her son, hand cuffed' together, tramping along the highway past Mr. C. C. Cooper's resi dent, a half-mile from Graliams, their faces turned towards Barnwell, while the deputv marshal roae behind com fortably in his buggy, following the prisoners like a driver behind dumb cat tle, driving them to prison. ctom a communication from Mrs. Sontag we take such extracts as are rel evant tofhe issue: He cannot prove that I either abused, insulted or threatened and ordered a pistol. This last charge is laughable, since I have never tried to use a pistol nor have I ever owned one. \Ve had no supper, hut a cup of cfiffeeand a biscuit for breakfast. If Mr. Kelly said that 1 whs sick in bed he made a mistake, as it was my son that was sick. I refused to procure a conveyance or pay tny way on tlie cars because I have to work hard and can't afford to travel over the coun try at pleasure. On the road we gut wet aiid Mr. Myers grumbled. He said he could see no futtIn this as he was wet. He asked me itovv I liked it. 1 told him that he got paid for bis trouble and I as a prisoner had to griij and bear it. ”1 am innocently arrested. My son bad his license and if a l’» S. license doe* not protect the holder from such an out rage and iiidignity what i* its use I And then when 1 tell it truthfully I^am slandered and even abused.

Maunera, customs and babila differ in some rosjiects iu the up 7-6untry from the low. The uiaunerof cultivating the groat cotton plant is different from that pursued in Barnwell. Tiro sweep of “*cra|>er” »»»utrlveraally used iu the low country is hardly known in the up country, and tlie few (list use tliein do .u only on tlie sandy levels w liicli are to he found here and thc£«*, and call them "eagles."

There is scarcely any upland corn planted, the numerous and fertile crock and branch bottom* being only used. The floods of Inst year destroyed almost tlie entire corn crop and tlie planter* gaining w is- doin from exjierience are planting t^heir uplands in corn us well as the low. Or chards containing apple, pear, cherry and a few |>euch trees (which do reach |K-rfec-tion Jiere) are on every side. The coautrv is hilly and mountainous, abounding in creeks, which, though small in dry are torrents iu wet seasons and overflow their steep hanks and flood the low lands.

Tlie mighty Cataw ba w ith its width and volume of clayey w aters is iu sight of my home, running majestically along with smiling fields of corn on either bank.
