TRUTH AND Honor cannot be played with in
the political arena These are positive and sub

dsregards them, cannot long maintain himself in
the regard or respect ofan honest country.

rHE GOVERNORS ELECTION.

"South Carolina seems quite excited
at the manner of the nomination OF Col:
RICHARDSON, for Governor. 1really can
see nothing moro extraordinary in the
nomination of this gentleman, than of
Judge JOHNSON, or Of Col. HAMMOND, cx-
cepi, that Col. RICHARDSON seems to have
met the appreciation Of the people.
will put the nomination, If "South Caro-
lima" pleascs, and fsr the sake Of argu-
ment, on the most private ground-on
such ground as Col. HAMMOND and JoHS'
SON must stand they were nominated by
their friends. 1t is obvious that the ques.
iion how they came to be nominated, is
matter of but very secondary interest.
The true point Of interest is, arho under
all circumstances is the most desirable
candidate. 1t is notorious, that large
portion of the old "State Rights party,
could not, under any circumstances be IN
duced 10 vote for Judge Johnson, not be-
cause of his being a Union man, but be.
cause of his known connection with Col.
PRESTON and the canti-administralion party.

thought of him at the time Of RIAcHARD.
SONS first nominaiion?) would have only
been going OH with the same exclusive
monopolizing of Office, which the gentle.
man of the "old state lights party" were
well understood not TO wish longer 10
maintain Col. RICHARDSON. was free from
both Of these objections, and therefore
seems to meet most with the appreciation
Of the Stale. For ourselves, we have not
the rcmotcst doubt Of his election. We
repeat therefore, what wc said at first,
that the manner Of Colonel RICHARDSON'S
nomination, and we know there was no
duplici,v about it, is very secondary
matter. We do not doubt that the man.
ncr Of nomination of the other gentlemen
was equally correct. But the true ques-
lion is, which gentleman occupies the po-
sition which meets best The proposed har-
mony Of parties, and the intei ests of the
State. AS TO saying that Col. RICHARD
SON is not the favorite of the Union party,
we think it altogether idle. There is no
man who stands in greater favor with them,
in the State, and he deserves it fIom them.

THE CHINCH BUG.

AR. Editor:-The chinch bug has COM
menced its dcpredations on the grain crop
in many parts Of our State, and from all l
can learn, it is probable they will do ser-
Gus injury. AS yet, know of no remedy
against these insects. ! will, however,
make one or two suggestions, which may
be useful to our planters. Last year had
a field of corn, which was attacked by the
bug while the corn was quite young, and
in a short time it was injured to such an
extent, that / had the field ploughcd up
and planted over. The second planting
came up and grew off finely, and was lit
tie troubled by the bug, but from what
cause. ] am unable to say, unlsesS unless they
had left the field for some other place.
Some of my neighbors are Ploughmg in
oats and wheat on the margins OF their
corn fields, for the purpose of furnishing
feed for the bug. 1t is thought that by
having oats and wheat near the corn, the
bug will feed on the small grain and not
be so aptto trouble the corn. think it
would be well to have our land ploughed
in oats or wheat through the middle Of
the corn field, as we'll as the margins.
Should these insects increase and con-
tinue their ravages on our grain crops,
they will do serious injury to the planter;
and we should lose no time and spare no
pains in trying to find out some way to
destroy them, or prevent the mischief
they do. WATEREE.
