~ We regret that the length Of the
Presidents Message, and the correspon-
dence upon the Oregon question, in an
swer to the Resolution calling for any
correspondence which may have taken
place upon this subject since the last an.
nual message, is such that we are not
able, at this time, to lay it before our rea-
ders. A brief and correct synopsis of
it vii! be found in another part of this
weeks paper. This document seems to
have produced something of sensation
in Washington, If the letter writers are
to be credited, and the probabilities of
war has become again the general topic.
1tis high .ime, we take it, that talk:

third of that quantity, large family is

the immediate vicinity of Edinburgh
rent for 800 the acre. In West Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, manure to the
value of 800 per acre is supplied by
many of the farmers, and instances are
not unfrequent of ten acres, thus fertil-
lied, yielding in money $4,000. To
us the full power of land is unknown :;
indeed, nowhere has it been ascertained
that there is limit TO production. The
period perhaps has arrived, when not
only the advancement of their pecunia-

ABBEVI,-LE DISTRICT.


ABBEvILLE DISTRICT
% Since the remarks made a week
or two since, with regard 10 the EN-
iARGEMEN'r OF THE BANNER
we have received goodly number Of
new subscribers and we would say,
that if the number we suggested, TWO
HUNDRED, can be obtained by the
FIRST OF MAY, we shall make the
proposed Enlargement Immediately, and
all such subscribers, shall receive the
Banner for one year at the present
rates, viz:-ONE DOLLAR AND
FIFTY CENTS, IN ADVANCE, or
TWO DOLLARS AT THE EXPIRATION
OF THE VOLUME. This, we think, is a
fair offer, and strictly in accordance with
the hardness of the times, and it will be
giving to our readers the cheapest pa
per, by far, published in the State. It
is only for the citizens of the District to
come forward and assist US, and we
pledge ourselves to lay before them
weekly, as neat and interesting sheet
as the country can boast of. Will some
of those kind friends who have used
their influence for us still lend helping
hand, and enable US to raise the Banner
aloft? At the present low rates of our
paper, it will require liberal patronage
for us to do saving business. Had VIC
the same number of friends at all the
Post Offices throughout the District as
we can boast of at Mount Hill, Gents
vile, Due West, Cokesbury, Lounds-
vile, Calhoun's Mills, and Frazicrxville,
then, indeed, we should have cause TO
exult. At some Of these Offices we have
as many as twenty-six subscribers, and
at none less than eighteen. And why
may not each Office in the District come
to the rescue thus manfully2 Citizens
answer for yourselves.
