COMMUNICATES.
|. Mr.. Editor:-There isin circula-
Ttion amongst us, petition, (gotten
up by no matter who,) giving several
very plausible reasons why our Dis
trict should be divided; and ais pur.
porting to be one which will be pre-
sented TO our Legislature at lis next
sitting. We hail the commencement
ofthis project as a beautiful prelude
to better stale of affairs, and we
should notbe accused of refrigeration
when we say we are not left alone TO
figure in the coronet of our own abb
stracted and selirsh reflections on
this important subject, for Mature,
with her silver noted and trumpet
tongued eioquence, stands OH lip
toe, like one in authority and says
! Amen! The sturdy oak, and tower
ing pine, as they wave their majestic
heads in solitary grandeur, bespeak,
by the mechanics aid, something
more than is in creation no,O- The
leaping rill, as it courses its winding
way TO its destination, innocently
and musically invites the traveller TO
quaff the waters Of an untried bun
tain. The larger streams top, tell
us of their usefulness, as they break
loose from the embrace of thdr pa
rent waters, and dash with w4nton
and headloug impetuosity oveI the
ledgy barriers of solid rock, Where
locations, not exceled in any pE Ert Of
the globe, may bc found for all kinds
Of machinery. These sun-lit hiR,. on
whose verdant tops the wild. deer
bounds in fearless sport, stand t-day
as living witnesses of our past 10th
, fulness and imbecility in agriculture,
d, Internal improvements, &c; but,
c change comes with the fl ght otime,
If the good people of Pcken'Dis-
s trict are improving in taste all be-
t. coming more sensitive to theitrue
II interests; they are iii reality 6ding
IL out the great worth Of the Dtrict
&c i'll which they live, NOTWITHSTANDING
e the epithets which have beencast
sr rpon it, as being the gable I'd Of
N South Carolina.
,e If you wish proofs Of the (ove
il assertion, we refer you to the any
,e fine country schools, and wIthe
o. cooperation ofparents and teaers,
in our little sons and daughter arrow
at being educated. II is also dlthe

of ty to say, they have no 'fpe'
lg riors and but few equals;-andsre
