GREENYlLLE, C. II. June Is.

For more than two weeks pastthe wealth
er has been excessively warm and dry for
the season, several days in succession,
at 3 O'Clock P. M. the mercury rising as
high as 80 degrees in the shade. On Tues
day night last we were visited by light
showers, which were very much needed.
as vegetation was suffering considerably
from drought.
The prospects for good crops in this Sec
tion oflhe State were never more flatter-
ing Wheat looks very fine, and some
of our farmers have already commenced
harvesting. Oats have been injured by
the drought, but if we have little more
rain, there will be about an average crop.

formation Of distant readers that for three
days we have enjoyed succession Of CO.
pious and refreshing showers, replenishing
our exhausted cisterns, and making glad
the face ofvesetable nature; and from ap-
pearances, we are induced to believe tina,
the imbriferous visitation has extended
over the adjacent parishes, reviving The
dropping cotton and thirsty corn.-Ckar-

From the following, .itsappears that our
Hon. Senator, VIM. c. Preston, in con-
junction will, the editor OF his mouthpiece
in Columbia, was The cause ofthe removal
ofthat high minded aud useful officer, Mr..
Rawls, from the Post Office. The editor,
we perceive, has received his fee, in the
shape Of a I" Last Of Letsrs," whether by
authority Of The P Postnasler General or not,
we do not know, but presume that the
printer 10 the Post Office was removed for
the purpose of promoting the interest ofthe
worthy editor, if not the "public interest" !"
MIR. Preslon's friends have denied his TAX
ing any part in The removal of Mr.. Rawls,
but the proof against him now, is as strong
as Holy Writ.
From the Charleston Mercury.
THE pRosCRIBER OF PRESCRIPTION! PRES.
TON AND RAwLs.
1t has been denied by his friends, that
w. C. Preston had aught to do with the
prescription of old Mr.. Rawls. A billings
gate writer signing himself ''Touchstone," p"
appeared in that mud and milk and water
repository of the Washington Madisonian,
aud was copied into the cougenia! columns
of the Charleston Courier, who denied w.
C. Preston's agency in the removal OF
Rawls, and rashly referred TO the files of
the Post Office Department to sustain his
denial. We stated that there was Il letter
from w. C. Preston urging his removal.
We could not obtain copy of the entire
letter, but The first sentence Of said letter,
dated "April l, 1871" is as follows:
''Not doubling at all the propriety of re-
moving promptly our Postmaster at this
place, MIR. Rawls, take it for granted,
i, will be done; and earnestly urge it upon
the department"
This Senatorial letter was seconded by
a long and very abusive epistle from the
editor Of the Columbia Chronicle.

We cheerfully copy the following, as an
act Of justice TO the Bank Of Augusta, aud
more especially to Mr.. Poe, its Cashier;
but we feel assured, knowing, as we do,
the correct department Of Mr.. Kendall, as
the conductor ola public press, that he must
have used The name ofthe B ank of Augusta,
in lieu of that of some other institution,
whose Cashier has marched Off to the tune
Of SIS, 900, through mistake; occurrences
Of the kind, being at This time, so common.
We doubt not Mr., Kendall will repair, as
far as it lays in his power, the injury bis
paragraph may have produced.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
THE BANK OF AUGUSTA.
Kendal's Expositor ofthe 9Th inst, con-
tains the following paragraph:
1.-THE Cashier Of the Bank of Augusta,
Ca, lately ran off with about $4,000 OF
the banks funds"
What could have suggested this gross
libel upon a meritorious Bank officer, we
cannot imagine, for nothing has occurred
in the affairs of this institution from which
any thing prejudicial to the credit or char
acter ofits officers could in the remotest
degree be inferred. Injustice therefore to
the public, the Bank, and to Mr.. Poe, who
has been thus wantonly sla6dered, we take
pleasure in giving publicity to the subj Join
ed note from the President of the Bank OF
Augusta, spd we hope those papers with
which we exchange will give it place in
their columns.
To the Editors of the Chron. & Sentinel.
An Infamous paragraph has appeared IN
Kendalps Exposilor of the 9th ofJune,
charging highly respectable officer ofthe
Bank Of Augusta, with having "run of
with $4,000 of The Bank funds" This,
as every person here well knows, is base
fabrication, for which there has never been
the shadow of a foundation, but you will
please fatty to contradict it, for the infor-
nation of those at distance. Proper
