The INmocupte hne not yet entered tile field. It N tiought that temperance will be quite.gn important issue .I' ,thie coming ,campaign,-and-that the -Dento. crate may for once reap the benefil of -it. 1HE ORIGINAL Secession sytoi ,of Buotland, at its recent ueeting entered -mainy :protests on occlesiasitical .ind political matters. Among other things it refers to the publication of "Septtsh Sermons" as one of the saddest 'signs lf-the times, iand to.the present period as given to "short prayers and short sermons, and long theatres, long operas and- long.convivial parties." Ji seems that these "Scottish sermons' ,ore considered heterodox by other denominations as well as the Seces. Bionists. IT Is SLOUESTED that instead of .the present ad -valorem tax the State levy .a fiXedl tax on land per acre and let -personal property alone. This would be.more unjust.thani the present Sys ten. .Xt would be-ridiculous to con sider all latiss of equal value. A hun dred acres -belonging to one ownew might be more valuAblo than a couple of thousand belonging to some one else, and to tax these equally would bring about the same state of affairs as now exists through unequal assess. .megnts of similar..property in different counties. The old system of specilc taxes Existed before the war, and under this an'owner:having a ten thousand dollar house on an acre of land paid Jius about seven cents tax to the State. The ad valorem basis Is the proper .one; and it only remains for the State Board ot Equalization to make assess ments on similar $1operty uniform, .in order to remedy existing abuses. AT A RECENT Ineeting 'of Federal veterans, Gqeeral Shernian replied to certain elw-g.es,made against him i . O'Davis' book. Among other thinga r-'*asserted the long exploded false .11 hoodhat Hampton burned Columbia. Shern' sa.ys lie was in charge in ColumbM1hile Hampton was absent, and ho allo-s no one to impugn his :voL'd. -He . tiwzd -'enprmk- ist.1 (l ough:Ge,nerai iampt on w as .absent, 1te.n thousand citizens of -Columbia swere th~re .who saw their property stolen and their homes burned by Sherma tn's bummers. Their evidence eghitradicts Sherman In every particu. .lar,~and.It~is needless for him to reiter ate his falsehood. Let him say whether .Hampton burned Lexington and Winnsboro antd all the gin houses in the country also. Whoever burned these is responsible for' Columbia, and .Sherman has meaver had the audacity to deny this wholesale i ncendiarismn. THER~E Is sTRONG co.mpetitin be. twee~n the Richmond and Hanville and the Bialtimiore 'nud Ohio Roads to se cure control of the pr'ojected Auigusta and Knoxville Road, fromi Augusta to Greenwood in this State. rTe City of A&ugusta owns thie controlling interest -in he State ; and the Richmond and Danille .wi Ipurchase and make all sorts of promnises'-not to discriminate against Augusta. If' the road will be built in either event it would be much bet ter *for Angusta to .combine with the Bailtimtore aind Ohio. Jt already has con nect ion t-hrough the Richinond and Danville connections., atui through the Watdley systemn. Let it secure a third r'oute by .the Banltimore and Ohic a.nd it wili be forevor seeture against discrimination,. If there be a doubt whether the Baltimuore and Ohio will complete the new road It might be better to sell the Interest of 'the City to the Richmnond and Danville, under the strongest guarantees with penal. ties atlached. Let each side be heard C'ompetition is the life of trade, amu tis little road that many peopk( thoughtt would never he0 built is non aimportant link. This Is a strong instance of values and inorettse ii tradIe. AN 1MMIGRAgNT'S JLET2TER, How he has been ImprssedI With his New Home In Faltaield-Hjis Views on the *u) jtot of Immigration. The Monthly Report of the Depart ment of' Agriculturec contains a lettel - fronm Mr. Dennis O'Keef, a young Maryinder who has recently settle< ithis county, on the plantation o Mtr. G. II. MclMaster. The letter lI written to the Commissioner of Agil titure, and is published at the regques of1 the writer'. It Is as fellows: DEAn Sin: I wrote you some tim o January1~ last,- and received severa xnmtbers of the -Reports of the Statt A gr'icultmuial D~epartmentt. I nov arite to ask yo to publish this, mn' ettrIn your A pril ssue. This letter Is iten~ded to tiry anm give somne infomation to the people o 'his State. I ant from the State o .iityland, ttd kntowi the trute dispoc '-tion of the Maryland( p~eople, anm their' wvara feelings towardts and thoi: iovet for South Carolina. Thlereo are thousands and tens e hcisands of' good, hottest, lidustriou teople in Marylanud, such as smfal fariners, shon'koennra nd labo..e.. 7 whO wtld biac to come to this [#te jld settle Ilero, )ilte unf'ortu P.

If the great 1tl #dvalibges Qf ti1s (qatoee jtde kno a to thle ;pas.1Ot. ftle people of linay 1nd, there Wojld be thousat .s of t)0m .that I would emigroto' to ".is $late. There is also gnouher grcat obstacle: in the svav of Miiva.ndere .conjng hieyr, A'ii State has been so Ipwa , .eepted that tihe great nass,,f ,tho .p pie of Maryland are actually a1'aI to come. 'I'here certainly ouglht to be some I thing done by t-.e Leglslatuye and the press of this btate to counteoract these falsehoods. South Carolina Is, as far as I Cal judge, on1e of t#he finest, fair est and heRltlest countries inhabited by man. and the soU jhr heitqr, richer and more fertile than it Marvlisa4 or Virsiida, the water good, ana the sea sons mild and pleasant-there is poiie better. The South tCaoJniAne,.as far as I can sqe orjlearn of them, are good, law-abiding people as alny on the face of tile earth. TIhey are, as far is I have been able to judge of them, a hig ly refined, wood-natured, honor abe, matnly, gqmeCWs, -hospitable .ail proud-spirited people. I desire to see the people of Mary land settle its this 8tate. They are, I think, more suitable t1ou any other people, for they h)avealways hikd a war'. fieing for them., and a particu lar love for South Carolina. I desire to see her prosper and become one of the richest States in the Union, if not the richest. I would like to see hqr the xpi t'e State-of the South and to do this It. is necessary to estAbtish an Inmligration Society in Columbia, the capital of the State. This society should be empow ered bv.lhe Legislature to send out Comnmissioners to Marlvand, Dela ware and other States, and if possible, Into Irclaid, to get as mIanty ISIAH farmers, melchanlcs, anid -1neln with sinahi meants, to enigrate, tot the good of the State. I do desire this, and this is solely miy object. lit writing this letter. Vours truly, DENNIs O'KEEF.

He says, "with a chief, an escort of twenty men and my113 servalit, ,1 we started off. Six iniles northwest, t through a glorious valley, one wuving mass of weoll-grown -corn, brought us 1 to the border of the Jebel Eslkel Lake. 'Just like the Krtounir coun- c try,' says tile chief, poiiting to a pre- a cipitons mionutain which stands bold ly out, two sides maqhed by the wa- 1 ter of4he lake, Its steep si'des every- I where covered with.thorn jungle, its spire-like suininit forinilg a distinctive l feature to be seen in wany a milo of I, landscape. Two ailles avay stood tile Arab tents. On the road were numy t men, all returning from camp, each to j his own village, having carried seven s days' provisions to the soldiers of his I tribe. This gives one man out of 1 every seven as the number of non combatants with their army, or a lit- a tie over fourteen per cee't.

Running away was impossible, so we sat still.

"Then enisued a scene that baffles descr'ipt ion. Metn mtad with religious excit emnent galloped abont, brandIsh- ( ing thecir long gunts amotng a crowd of' armled footmen, equially beside them selves. Fully eight 'thiousan~d men, wiitholut a leader, without an idea of mnilitary' cohesioni, fanlatics to a *nt, all rushed hithler an~d thither to \neet the F~rechll.
