Mr. Editor : I sec that the Blaine and Logan ratification meeting at Sumter passed resolutions chargiug the posse with attemp? ting to arrest Mose Wilson without a war? rant. This is false. The posse had a war? rant for the arrest of Mose Wilson, with all the requirements of law. Please publish this and nail lo the counter an infamous campaign lie. Yours truly, J. E. DU???5. We Knew it Was False. The resolutions in reference to thc Mose Wilson homicide, adopted at ibo Blaine and Logan ratification meeting some time ago, charged the posse with attempting to arrest Mose Wilson without a warrant. We im- j mediately wrote to Capt. J. li. McLeod, tue Trial Justice in that neighborhood as to the truth of ?he charge. Thanks to the present bungling arrangement for getting the mails from Sumter C. H to the County offices, wc have just received his reply, in which he says : t4I certainly did issue said warrant, which will be forthcoming in due time." Oratorical. Dick Reed, our town orator made one of j his characteristic addresses Saturdav. He i < annonuced that he would be a candidate for thc Legislature, and expected to poll 5,000 votes. He stated as a proof of Democratic crookedness that he voted for himself two years ago for that position and his vote was stolen. They would not allow him even one little vote, lie said be intended to show the petyale of the North that the negro was entire? ly incompetent to ?tieri to political matters, j | all of which we thought had been abundantly j j proven many times over, years ajro. ? . Thc Town Tax Bill. Mr. Editor: Can you tell us why the Town Council desire to raise so much mo ne}* this year, or what they are doing with what they have raised ? Last year they had no license from sale of Liquor. This year, it amounts to $4,800.00. They are also allowed by their charter to collect 5 mills on real estate and 5 mills on personal property. Can yon tell us how they are expending the money? We do not see auy great work being done on the streets, or on the Fire Department or in improve? ments to thc town. I desire to point out a few of the inequali? ties of the Tax Bill as published in the Ad? vance on Saturday, and presume it is the cor? rect bill as the Advance claims to be the | Official Paper of the To wu of Sumter. Under the bead of Agencies, cotton buyers are taxed ?20 00, bat transient buyers are not mentioned. -Insurance, Life or Fire, $10.00." One agent herc represents one company, another a dozen. Does each only pay $10.00 ? Why did they not re-enact thc old ordinance of $10.00 for each compati}- : as it comes out of the company and not out of the agent's pocket ? Dogs are returned as personal property at a valuation of $5.0'?, and now the additional tax is, "kept at home 50 cfs" - "at largo with badge $2 00." Is not this double taxation? Lawyers ?nd Physcians are taxed 7.f>0 each, while merchants are taxed $1.00 per $1.000 of their sales and they also nave to pay four mills tax on their average stock, as personal property. Let us see how it works: Mr. "A" sold $75.000.00 (fy 1.00 $75 00 Average stock $15,000.00 % 4 mills GO.00 "A's" tax on his occupation $l.".5.00 i ' "B" is a Lawyer or Doctor. Ile makes a? j 1 much money as "A." His tax is $7.50. Is 1 this right? Why should merchants be taxed j to death? They are afforded uo protection. If Wilson's, or any other drummer of ''harks- j ton comes here and goes round selling fand- 1 lies their groceries, they arc not taxed, while j 1 the home merchant is. This is free trade with j i a vengeance: taxed to death at home, but i ! outsiders sell free. How do you expect to j build up your town if you tax all your indus? tries ? This ordinance taxes Cotton Gin?, Dealers in fish, Dealers in fruit, Hide yards, Lawyers, ? Dentists, Physcians, Surgeons, Lumber and Marble yards, every kind of manufacture, Photograph, Restaurant, &c. I will mention another discrimination against home enterprise. Local brokers who live here are a convenience to the merchants in placing their orders for flour, bacon, grain &c. These are charged $10. Drummers who sell these same articles go free. Besides all the taxes which a merchant is j i called on to pay, if he keeps a one horse' ' wagon doing only his own drayage, $:;.50 ! 1 or if two horses $7.50, in addition to paying J 1 on wagon and horse as personal property, j c Last year we got along without the $4,800 J Liquor Lisense; this year in, addition to that I [ we have had to work the streets 3 days or j 1 pay $1.50. Respectfully, M. U Editorial Correspondence. GLENN SPRINGS, S. C., AUG. IC, "S4. Dear Watchman and Southron: It is cer? tainly an evidence of progress io our State, at least so far as travelling facilities are con? cerned, to bc able to leave !S am ter at mid-day aod arrive at this place before the usual bed tinie-for town folk-it being remembered that 12 miles of thc trip, from Spar tanbury here, bas to bc made by horse-power. This was accomplished by the writer yesterday, and in the party, from Spartanburg here, were some who travelled a much longer dis? tance; For instance a gentleman and lady from John's island. I presume, however, that they did not leave home yesterday, but started from Charleston. The new fast sched? ule from Charleston, via Sumter, to Colum? bia, and which connects willi the traiDS on both roads for the up-country, is a great con? venience, and if the Railroads will just add one other inducement to the people along the line, viz: special excursion rates on certain days, at similar prices ns were given to the Charleston people yesterday, they will find that a good many will travel who would otherwise sta}' at home. On the Central train yesterday were four passenger coaches, nearly all full, and when we arrived at Columbia we found a train on the S. C. R. R., with 8 or 9 coaches, all about full. Tl esc people were going to various places of resort -the larger part to Walhalla, and other places on the Greenville line. There were two separate trains from Columbia, one for the Spartanburg Road, which took one car from the S. C. R. R. train ; and the other for the Greenville Road, Everything was com? fortable and pleasant-no crowding, ns the passengers were assigned to certain cars, according to their destination ; the tickets were all sold by number, and there was a steward on the train to show each passenger his seat. Until we got to Columbia we were much annoyed by dust, but from there on there was no dust and the trip as pleasant as could be desired. At Union we stopped for dinner, and washed off some of the Sumterand Richland dirt. We arrived at Spartanburg a little before 7 in the evening-n?ar an hour behind, which wa3 perhaps unavoidable on j account of the delay from extra woxfc at Columbia, in fixing up the trains, and also j on account of the larger load of passengers ] than usual. I chanced to fall in with a good travelling j companion as soon as I got on board at Sum- j ter, in the person of Hon. W. II. Kennedy of j Williamsburg, who was on his way here to j ?oin his family, who had preceeded him some j weeks. Tn consideration of the large number j destined for Glenn's, we decided to combine, ; in order to secure our passage through instead af lying over, and it was owing to the push j ind good management of Mr. Kennedy, who | took charge of the transportation, that we j succeeded in making the trip through. Onr i first combination embraced Mr. Beckett and j two ladies from Johns Island, Mr. IC. and I myself; but before we got out of Spartanburg \ we doubled up with Col. Lipscomb and fara:- j ly and Mrs. Moulton and children of Colum- ; ?ria, and chartered a carriage, a wagon and j i>ugg\*. Mr. K. and I fell heir to the buggy J xnd lcd the procession-leaving Spartanlrtirg . ibout 8 and arriving here a lillie after 10. Having had plenty to eat on the way, we look a drink cf mineral wafer anil went io; jed. A walk to the spring before breakfast j s t!;e order here and of course I fell in and ! svent through the performance. There are about 150 people here now and j ivhen the crowd ail get out from Spartanburg, ! cvho failed to <:et oil last night, there will no ! loubt be a good many more. No one left to- j lay. When I get time to look around and Cud j ?)ut who they are, I may be able to tell you j ivho are here that I know. I have reen no crops this side of the j Wateree as good as ours. Everybody that ; :amc on our R. R.'speaks of Mr. Aycock's j cotton at ft edi'ciield. Thal seems to be the | irst-class standard. Mr. Kennedy, however, j says that he has some that will beat it. There has keen too much rain for crops in j the up-country. AUGUST 17.- I have Wen here now two ?HJIs arid nights and begin to feel at home, j [laving met a number of acquaintances, and j bund oui a good many more of my fellow- | nvalids-if I may be allowed lo use that ex- j pression in view of the fact that but lew | icknowlcdge being on the sick list, and all .espond promptly three times a day to the lining room bell. I scraped an acquaintance with one parti? cularly healthy Looking old farmer from Marion County, for whom I cannoc but have i decided fellow-feeling on account of his j ? .eply to the usual interrogation as to the probable length of his stay. Be spoke in I >UC1T a way as to leave the impression that he I .vould like to return shortly ; but his time j vould noi be out for about two weeks, and ? ( ?ben I asked him how that was, bc replied j hat his wife had sent him here because she ? , vas afraid he might get sick, and wanted him ? ( :o Stay, Men who are blessed with such houjihtful and devoted wives ought certainly o respect their wishes-and wives who have ;uch obedient and selt-sacrificing husbands ire excusable for a little over-anxiety in their ] lehalf. I feel like ?riviri^ Hil! Arp a special i ?ommission to write a paragraph on the ! iubject. This is a very good place to be run off to, ind if thc weather continue as it has been ?ince my arrival, I will have no cause to re? gret the trip. The days are not boland the lights delightful. There seems to be some biug about tile air or water that makes every? body sociable. Merchants, lawyers, farmers, j md tradesmen, all seem to fraternize, all j lave time lo talk-and like to do it. We fall I : a and go down to lue Spring in groups-all, nore or less, drink from ihe same dipper and ?hen set down and talk, digest our water and lr:tjk again. The spring is at the foot of the bill, about ? J?<J or 400 va rds from the hotel, and the ! . ! A'alk back and forth gi ves good exercise- j Noue who are able to go during llie dav. ; Irink the waler except al the spring, as ii is ! relieved lo have a better effect when taken j fresh from the .?pring. 1 do not mean to say that all here arc i pleasureseekers. There are*a number who are * sick and .-.II, as far a.s I know testily, to ibu \ benefit derived frouj th? water. I was pleased Lo linet here to-day Col. Jno. J. [Jargari, who : returned la.t night, after a trip off ! for several weeks, ile is looking better than ; fur a long time and walks up and down the , hill with a step that indicates the return of \ ?lealth and strength. Hon. .J:io. S. Richard- , ?on and wife-.also arrived last night. Hon. j ft. Dozier and wife, of Georgetown are also 1?re, ami tho case of Mr. Dozier has been rc marked upon several limes in my hearing, j is an evidence ol the virtue of Glenn Springs j tvaler. Ile was about given up last year by j lis physicians when lie came here. He soon j aegan to improve, and is now in apparently ; perfect health. The water is put up in bottles and .-hipped ; ibroad to various places, and has bVen used \ villi mitch benefit by those who cannot come, j ;>nc peculiarity of the water is that it is anti- j iquor; that is it not only disagrees with iquor, but it takes away the desire for i', sven with habitual drinkers. This is the sparkling water-"thc beverage ; >rcpared by God to nourish and invigorate ; j lis creatures," of which the temperance ad- j rucatts ?hould dclighl to talk, and it uiighl : be well for them to help to advertise it. Tbe supply is at this time in excess of the con? sumption of if. The tust?- of it is not at first pleasing.; but after using it a while one learns to like it. Mr. .Simpson tells, me that he gives it to his chicheas and domestic animals and that they seem to like it and thrive. Among thc visitors here 1 have made the acquaintance of a Mr. Kinard, from Newber? ry, who says he has been coming here every year since 1842, except two years missed during the war. He is a healthy looking specimen, and on being complimented upon his youthful appearance, promptly acknowl? edged his age to be over seventy-four. Ile gives the water here a good part of the credit for his good preservation. Since my first day here I have noticed a drowsiness during the day, and at night I sleep without any hindrance, and on speak of it was told by several that they have had the same experience, and they say that is one effect of the water. N. G. 0. - mm? ? > I ? - From the Mountains? Wc have been permitted to publish the fol? lowing, which is part of a private letter written by Miss Lula Shaw one of the Sumter Teachers at Spartanburg, to her Parents. We are sure that our readers will enjoy her bright and racy description of the trip to and around Saluda.-(Ed. W.andS.) SPA UT A X D ? n o, S. C., August ll, 38S4. *****Our party of thirteen, including the Sumter teachers, arrived here this morning after a delightful visit to Saluda. Thescenery from Spartanburg to Saluda, especially Horse Shoe Bend and Tryon Mountain, is grund. Saturday morning we hired a conveyance and went out to "Beverly Hills" which far surpass j iu beauty anything that I have ever seen. In j one direction we could see so far that it look? ed like the ocean, in another, the Mountains j seemed to be piled upon each other. After enjoying the view for awhile, we rode down into the valley, where wc left thc horses, and after climbing the mountain for a mile, descended and there, dashing over the rocks ? for a distance of eighty feet, were the Paco let Falls. Oh ! it was lovely, and if seeing delighted people can repay one for trouble : our excellent guide must have felt repaid for j all the trouble wc had given him helping us ? up and lifting us down steep places. With j his help three ; 3) of the boldest of our nura- I ber ventured to cross the river just below the j falls by jurrping from stone to stone, and j then venturing step by step over rocks and j under trees, we succeeded in getting above j the falls and were fully repaid by the gran- '?? duer and beauty of it for the troublesome j ascent. We sat down on a large tree that : had fallen into the water and rested our tired j limbs, and drank in the beauty of the place j with hungry eyes, and filled sur minds with i hungry eyes, and filled our minds with food j for many delightful thoughts; and oh: I! wished that you could hare been there for sured}- you would have felt young and well again. Then we went down and rejoined the others and saying a regretful "farewell" to i Pacolet, commenced to climb the mountain. It was almost perpendicular and as wc Sum? ter folks are green about such things, made slow work of it, finding a rest necessary every few minutes. Of course it was per- j fectly ridiculous, and wc laughed enough to ? have fattened us. if it hadn't been fi;r the j violent evercise. We arrived at Saluda late,' and enjoyed our dinner and a nice long walk. J We met Dr. Smith of Tennessee who is splcn- j did ly educated. He is to lecture here Mon- ! day night, so we asked him to read his lee-: ture to us which he very kindly dill. It was on Thomas Carlisle and was excellent. Have enjoyed my stay in Spartanburg very j much. We will have the last lecture Mon- j day when the rest of the Sumter teachers will j leave. I will remain in the up country a month longer as I enjoy thc cold water and j air so much. Have received a copy of the Watchman and j Southron every week, which I enjoy as much j as a letter from home, and return to the Editor my most cordial thanks. Had the pleasure of hearing speeches from Gen. Youmans and Col. McMaster last week. Gov. Thompson gave us quite a good talk at | the Normal. I was very much pleased with !

Mr. Editor: Permit me through the columns of your most welcome paper a few words in reference to this Township - Priva? teer. From what I can see and hear, there ? Is much interest manifested in the maturing crops. Seasons continue to be good, and all are looking forward to a remunerating crop. Wc should feel thankful to Almighty God for his goodness toward us as a people, for thc bright prospects of an abundant yield, for the sustenance of man and beast the coming year. Now, it behoves os to press forward) and feeling that we have been amply re num<irated for our labor the present .year, to put forth our energies to take care of what is being made. One care-taker is worth two worker?. Now I would suggest, as the time is rapidly approaching for storing up crops, it should be done in order, and where that important work is complete, we should com? mence preparing for another crop, by raking3 scraping, hauling in litter to horse lots, cow pen hog lots, and make as much manure as possible, and not stand all the day long idle, saying ?,I have nothing to do. My crop is made." No man can make progress by such farming. We must use energy and economy. Andby carrying out these plan?, buying as little fertilizers as possible, making most of it at home, raising our bread, meat, potatoes, syrup, sugar, fcc, we need not be dependent upon Baltimore and Charleston for these supplies, and would be a prosperous and happy people. And why not do it? Our lands are ns well adapted to grain crops as most of our neighboring counties. And now as to cotton, my notion is that tve make a great mistake in putting ander it fertilizers that cost as much as the cotton will probably make. Plant les of the stu*and manure it j from the barn-yard. Cultivate well, use descretion, employ brains as well as hand3, and there would not be so many long faces, with the words {:I owe more than I will bc able to pay this fall. Farming don't pay. I will sell out or rent. There is more money in something else for me to do, that will be more profitable."

It has not been worked since September, and we have not even a Sub Commissioner for this section. The Commis? sioners seem to have forgotten our existence, as we have had but one visit since the present Hoard has been elected. I wonder if this neglect results from the fact that our voting strength is small? Our neighborhood would be glad to hear some good reason for the neg? lect shown ns. Some of the present Commissioners are candidates for re-election, and they surely might come down and asks our votes, but we would suggest that they come horseback as thc roads arc too bad for vehicles. Come and see us gentlemen. We wont hurt you but would like to have the pleasure of showing vou thc holes in the road. MANCHESTER. IN THE PASTRY IF j?bJEXEl "CTSSD.
