Both of these letters are admirably writ ten, and, in our opinion, correctly portray tire sentiment of the great er portion of the District. Mr. Dargau h m made an excellent Con gressman. and has work- d con scientiously an I faithfully for the interests of his constituent*. In his opposition to the Blair Bill lie occupies a high and conscientious gronttd, which no one is more ready to acc rd him thm Thk Darling ton Nkws, though it lias by no means agreed with him on thisira- portau' issue. To send a n-'W man to Washing ton a this time would be the height of folly; a lolly which is so appar ent that tirose w ho desire a change mere!, ‘-for the sake of a change,” (the only class opposed to Mr. Dar- gan) cannot fail to realize it. He has not only performed his duly admirably, but his talents have enabled him to take a decided stand in Washington He is now on two of the mod important committees of th ' House, and holds a position in the esteem of that body which could be attained by no other man, whatever his parts, until ho had become known bv several years of efficient service. To Ire deprived of the serv ces of so gifted a repre seutative just at a time when he conld best advance tbo interests of bis constituents, would be a serious blow to the District and to the en tiro State. We trust that Mr. Dar gan will consent to serve another term; If he does, there will not be much doubt about his being re turned to his present useful field of labor, notwithstanding the mat tered threats of opposition from the solitary class above mentioned. i pi its of which vill be exp rim -of at.

Editor Darlington Neict : Allb‘ ugh not in his Congression al Di triet there are many of us here who know him well and are decidedly in lavor ot his re-election to CnDgtess. In fact we kndw of no man in the whole fitat**, who de- serves so we I to be retained in pub lic office. He is a gentleman, every inch «'f him; a true Democrat, an intelligent and consistent states man, and a wise and fearless lead er of popular sentiment. If he has i-rretl about the Blair bill—which we do not admit, he was honest and outsiarken in his opinions andevery one was advertised of bis views long since. He baa stood np man fully to the old Sorath Carolina doc trine to u aot nothing that is not right and submit to nothing that is wrong.” The writer would himself rather be beaten on fits views ot this iniquitous and corrupt measure, than elected on tbe other Side. Mr. Dargau is scrupulonsly hon est and fair in all bis public and private transactions, and this is exactly the sort of man the coun try needs. We have been regard mg him as the ablest and most con sistent and reliable man South Car olina has in its national councils, an I are surprised to learn that the 4th district has the slightest idea of giving him up It wilt be a bad day for that district as well as the State, when it consents to take any other man in bis place. For ability, honesty and 'patriotism he has no superior. Fifth District An Interesting Description of a Popu lar Resort. • EiJ^or Darlington News: The Cleveland Springs are situ ated in Cleveland County, North Carol na, about two miles from the town of Shelby The Springs are three in number; white sulphur, red sulphur, and chalybeate. These three be close together and gush from the banks of a very pretty brook that runs babbling at the foot of the hill on which is locaL d the hotel. The medicinal virtues of tlx se waters were known and appteciated by the Indians, but tradition says that the first white settlers covered them with brush to prevent* then cattle from drink ing what thev regarded as poison ed water. For near a century the Springs have been visited by inva lids and have had the reputation of effecting WHiiderlul cures. For a long time they were called Willow Springs, from the name of the fam ily who owned them. Recently (lie property wus purchased by Messrs. WilktT'on At Fore, two Virginia gent emen who have made a for tune in Ninth Carotin, since the war. The senior member of the firm, Mr. Wilkerson, is upon the ground superintending extensive impiov'menrs. He i, igalliip ex- Confed ra’.e who hour-* upon his body the evidence ot his devotion to his country. It is pleas.mt to tiud sut h a man prospi rons.

Baths, hot and cold, w ill be on the first flooF for g •utlemeu and on the sec oud floor for ladies. Rooms will be comfortable and well furnished. Long and wide piazzas will contri bute to the comtort and pleasure of each stoiy, and in sh nt tbe pur pose is to furnish tnt.ie guest every convenience and pleasure that he can ask for at a health resort. When the improvemeiits are romp etc 1 do not t ink there will be a belt r equipped watering place in me Sonin, and, besides, the visitois will have a genial and warm heart ed host, willingaud able to do every thing to make their stay i leasatri The red sulphur is used mainly for bathing while the white sul phur is the tavorite drinking water. Itis light, sott and stimulating and one soon psidons ps bad breath and becomes so passionately fond ot it us to find it difficult to tre t it as medicine, and drink it in mod eration. It is not transportable ! and must be taken at the Springs j to be fully enjoyed, it is very effl I cacious in all ca-<es of locked up se cretious uni in diseases of the , blood, i ut d es not suit persons suffering with consumption or otb ot ground, will be devoted to j er was'tug disease*.

A bath in the sulphur wa er is delightful apart from tbs medicinal effects. The water if '•oft snd velvety to the touch and the cleansing qualities perfect. A beaut'ful coruplexio i is the sure result of the use of the Congressman Dargau. Darlington Cor. of tbe News and Courier. Already tbe questions are being asked, who will be our candidates tins year! I think 1 may safely say that, so far as our Represeuta tive in Washington is concerned, the people of this section will gladly support the Hon. George W Dai gau. We t f Darlington County do not wish for his re election simply because heM* a Darlington man— there is somethin^ higher than mere county pride—but bi-oause already he has shown himself a capable and honest exponent of wh>'t is right. An alCe Dwyer, he takes the Constitution —the written law of this Union ot States—as his guide, and by that instrument he is willing to stand or fall. No ex- pedient, however plausible, can turn bim from this manly course. In his honest opposition to the B’air bill this is the groundwork of his argameut. No one in the South recognizes more fully than he does the curse of ignorance, which like a pull rests on uianv of our people. No one would mote gla lly lend a he ping hand to take this burden from our shoulders, but no one would oppose more strenuously any effort to do so in a way not prescribed bv law. For oixtv \ ears the Democratic party controlled the destinies of this Re public, but only con d they do so by pointing to the law which is its foundation stone. In this particu lar George W. Dargau is only fol lowing in the footsteps of the great men who have made this country what it i ow is. We need such men in the House of Representatives, if we are a law abiding people, and not mere politicians. More than this, such men educate a people to a more lolly conception of right. Woe to a eople who deal in expedi ents, whose only hope is victory at j any price. Let ns he judged in j Congress by such men. Let their high purposes be, as they should, 1 but the reflection of the purposes I of the people whose mouthpiece they sre. Already Mr. Dargau has been placed on the most important com mittees in the gift of the House. The civil service committee, carry ing out with honesty of pnrpo«e the will of ttie Executive, is help ing to renew the firm foundation on which the Democratic party, the party of iaw and order, rests. The committee on finance, one of the most important (if all duties which devolve upon-those who make law, hts tbe benefltof his cool judgment and unswerving integrity. He has served his p *opie well in the*lial| of the Legislature. As the Solicitor of the Fourth judicial circuit, he had no superior in the State. In his new duties let him gain that ex- perienoe which will make him more and more useful. Only by such ex perience as comes with service cm the Sonihern people, through their repres‘Utatives, meet with success the political tucks of unscrupulous demagogues who would use the lease ot pow r lor mere gain ; who would camp outside of all law to keep up a crusade against a whole people. Let George W. Dargau, and suck as he, be c uitinue I to lie the representative of that true Southern manhood which is our common heritage. of Mr. varte Prigge- (Florrnc* Corresponilenc* of the Darling. * too Newt.) The biggest fool that ever lived struck Florence on March f'h in the person of Mr Gervarte Prig^a, who came hete from Wilmington, N. C., with 115 in his pocket, for tbe parjioae of establishing a Rank The Editor ot the Florence Times welcomed him as he does everyone who wishes to cast anchor iu uni midst. Pfigge told lies enough to put to shame the ''father of Lars,” and strutted around, blowing eon- sidt-rably about his money and alleging that the caah capital of its bank was to be no less ban 150,000. In this way be formed a arge number ol acquaintaince*. The story he told tuis correspond ent on Saturday last when he was nterviewed was very far different from that which is g< ing the rounds n regard ko the rich young bmk*r. He alleged that he was a member of a Wilmington firm w hich propo ses to establish a brokerage busi ness in (he town of Florence and sell goods at enrreat prices ; that legrams ceutaiuiii^ taese quota tions wonld be furnished his firm by all tbe Northern and Western markets twice a day. O : the third day of his stay here he said he would be obliged to bring his partner to Florence, too, as bis business was increasing to such an extent that he could not attend to it alone. Among the many whose acquaiu tanec he made here were Messrs Covington Bra., from whom be bought a horse and carriage, giving a check in exchange therefor. The Messrs Covington insisted, howev er, that a check was not what they wanted and that the cosh must be forth coming. P-igge accordingly carried mein np to the Bank ot Darlington on Saturday, end expressed the greatest surprise on arivmg there at ascertaining that there was no money in thatinstitn turn to his credit. At this point in his chequered career he voluntarily but rsluctanriy gives np tbe turn out, having enjoyed the fiee eseoi' horseflesh for aoaut four days. Abouttho stme time our eharm- ihjf y"ting banker was negotiating tor the horse and carriage, he got a tyjie writer on trial from Mr. C. H Prince, but Mr. Prince nailed on him for his inslt ament on Friday nigh* and by so lining is exacriy $40 bet ter off. When Prigge returned from Dar lingtnu on Saturday afternoua, Mr Barreuger, the proprietor of the Central Hotel, where he bad been staying, approached him on the sub j<*ct of Ins board bill, but Prig.e jmsitively relusrtl to entertain ibe idea ot settling it, preferring doubi less to spend the balance of the $15 which tie had brought with him iu a some other way. Barreuger then locked the door of the room which Prigge had beeiywng, in that way making sure of all his baggage, among which was innln ed, by the way, a flue suit of clotbi-s wliieh he had obt ihed from one of our lead ing ineichants with the understand ing that if it should prove to fit him he would call on the merchant the same evening and pay lor It Toe gentlemen whom Prgge claimed as his partner alleges that lie knows iiwhing ol the man.

He is here io stay, and tbe Times welcomes him to Floieuce witli that open-hearted coidiality that shall make him feel that his lines have been cast in a pleasant place, and in which he will make a big success. 9 * • 9 9* The foregoing is respectfully ot- ered to the paople ct Florense as nit same of the later enterprises ihat have been inanguraUd by mi n bo were not of us.
