GENERAL KERSHAW The name of this distinguished offi cer, and gentleman is largely suggested at Columbia foi the Governorship; As to capacity, and requisite endowments for such a position none can for .an instant doubt, and wo would rejoice if the shadow of a hope was in his favor. But that is useless; General Kershaw, nor Ithuriel himself from heaven could hold a chance with the radical nom inee, be ho man or be he' demon; and we have to see the one yet who was far from demon that sat in that chair since the reign of misrule. Whenever "the party" is ready for good works they'll consent to support a man like General Kershaw. A FULL CONFESSION. R. B. Elliott, J. Ii. Ncnglo, W. B. Nash and eight other radical lead uns, in view of the terrible short coming of their party, offer an address to their constituents, and with all the sophistry of partisan influence endeavor to show that though the party "has failed to fulfill its trust" the party (in all its utter unfltness to do so must juat do what it always has done, viz: select . the best men from its ranks and "see that American progress is not ended" and if "wrongs are to be redressed the Republican party alone can do it." American progress under this defini tion means a hideous disgrace of the rights of Americans by a horde of be ings who assert the right to rule per force, because it pays a parcel of degraded time servers both African and Caucassian, who enjoy a profit at the expense of property, decency, and law. The republican party are Tain of their inherent worth, and "only can do" what other parties failed to per form, to make m laughingstock of go v ernment and a foot ball of the rights of property holders. It is well that the leaders confess their sins, t'would be better if they'd take aback cent. If not; and they drive on the oM car of dis tinction, things must mend, as extremes in time will meet. The farce goes on; The faithful have been indeed faithful to. all that is revolting, their improve ment will be from bad to worse. The correspondent of the "New York Times" is at home when he writes dp the Moses, Chamberlain, Neagla and scallawag company, but he gets out of his depth when he essays upon "Southern Society." Like the senten tious traveller in London (who slept only a night there) and said ail Eng lishmen ate opium because his room mate was an Anglo Chinese agent, this oologist gives a treatise on eggs, be cause he may have handled a terra pin's, After ad verting to the shameless adventurers who have cursed the nation and robbed our State he says "another class came South, some with capital, others without, hoping by honest in dustry &c to better their financial condition (the italics are ours) with little or no discrimination as to character or con dition all have been treated to rigid social ostracism." Again he flings with genuiue puritan smallness a stouo a Hugonot families,"Southern women and Southern parsons;" The trouble with the Times correspondent is, that j he has not seen the inside of a South ern gentleman's door, and probably 1 never will, and with the egotism of other ramblers who "ride to palaces mistaking them for hotels" nnd sit on whales supposing them to be islands, he confronts a hedge of glaring refu tation to undeceive his notions of im portance, or finds himself at sea for want of a foothold. Try it again Mr, correspondent, but don't attempt to write up "/Southern Society" until you are admitted in the penetralia. It is a sacred reservation, and you arc measurably right, though conveniently po, when you pay it h vflry exclusive. t?Ve have hud our fill of Yankee help, ff von can send us better se'Us?e them.

Ebitok.?-I see in the Owing?, burg Times a communication from "citizen'* rather complaining, that a call had not been made through tho paper for a public meeting to organise n Tax Union for Orango Township. .Those who undertook that matter did not think that the best way, but Orange Township is largo enough for two Unions, and if'citizen' will call on roe I can fu rnoi h him with a copy of tho Constitution, and he can proceed as ho thinks best. P. B. FELDER. Taup&yorfl of Orange Township. In obedience to a resolution adopted at a recent meeting, the undersiguod beg leave to**bring to the notice of their fellow taxpayers, the fact, that a Tax Union for Orange township has been organized, and the door of admission to membership is open to all friends of good government, without distinction. * The property holders of South Car olina weighed down by enormous tax ation, are now uniting to save them selves, from utter ruin. Tax Unions, for this purpose, are being formed throughout the State. They are not party organizations. Their objects are by means within the law, to reduce taxation within its proper limits?bring corrupt Btnto and County Officials to justice, and promote an honest, and economical administration of the gov ernment. These objects commend themselves, at once, to every honest man of every party, and race; and every taxpayer, without distinction, who comes with an honest purpose to promote them, will be welcomed. Whether the Union for Orange Town ship was formed by few, or many, in the first instance, and with, or without publio notice, matters not, because so soon as organization was effected, the door was open to every friend of the cause to come in. No action of any importance has yet been taken but to open that door, and before any can be taken, all, who are with us in heart, may enter it. To invite thorn to do so is our present object. The modo is simple; The Constitution provides that applications for membership shall bo in writing?be addressed to the Tax Union of Orange Township?be signed by the applicant, or by his authority, and give hia full name, and address. Such an application, handed to any member of the Executive Committee of the Union will bo considered at its next meeting. In thus inviting our fellow taxpayers to unite with us, wc do not ask them to do aught which the moat law abiding citizen need hesitats to do. Tax Unions propose to exhaust all means within the law. Nor do we ask any to enter into a political strug gle. The contest which the tax Unions propose, is with official corruption.and its consequence, high taxation. Organ ization for this purpose has been com* mended by leading journals of both the great political parties. "Leaders of the dominant party in this State have been forced to admit the existence of great abuses. Pledges of reform have been made by politicians only to be violated. We cannot trust them. Let the people take the matter in hand. It is proposed to invite, by tax Unions all good citizens for this purpose. The burdens of which we complain are weighing us to the earth, and threaten to crush us. Keliof can be attained only by concert of action; and for such concert, organization is indispensable. I The public thieves and robbers are I banded and drilled like an army. Let us not remain an inefficient mob. For I years we have passively submitted to I the remorseless exactions of these v?m I pires. If we ha vo not the spirit and intelligence to unite in an effort to ' chock them our case is hopeless; They will go on until our utter ruin is ac complished. W. M. Htrcsos, F. K. W. Briogmann, Jas.
