TO THE VOTERS OF EpGEFIELD.

WE are requested to state on the part Of Mr.. HENRY
HILL one of the candidates for Tax Collector, that
his absence from the field for the last few weeks has
been owing to severe attack Of fever which has
greatly Frustrated him. He is glad to be able 10 an
nounce to his friends and the public generally that
his physician, DR.. a. G. TEAoUE, considers him now
in fair way for rapid recovery.
Mr. H. has thought proper to present to the voters
of EJgefed this allusion to himself, lest some, who
arc not aware Of his situation might suppose that he
had grown Indifferent to the election, which is fur
from being SO.

NO ONE WANTS THE OFFICE.

THERE is u vacancy in the nomination for Commits
sioncrs of the Poor which should be filled. This
vacancy was occasioned by the withdrawal of MIR
JAMES RICHARDSON. The gentleman suggested il
his place (Mr. SrRorHER) has also declined. W.
have been at loss to know precisely what should b'
done in the premises. Our uncertainty was yesterday
relieved by direction from the present Commits
sioncrs to renew their nomination Of Mr. RICHARD
SON. They regard it as custom, almost as binding
US law, that their nomination shall stand unlcss tht
most pie be offered by the person declining
We have therefore replaced Mr.. RIcHARDsos's nans
on the ticket, with the understanding that said tckc
is to be the one generally run.

GEN. GONZALES.

A day or two since we published a paragraph
IN which we stated that the New York Herald,
which had published i manifcsto from Gen.
Gonzales, furnished q list of names Of certain
prominent gentlemen, who it stated were Cuban
sympathzers. Gen. Gonzales WAS Immediately
accused of breach Of confidence, how unjust
ly will appear from the subjoined note to the
editor of the Herald which the Gcneral for
warded to the Charleston Mercury for publica-
tion:

with the names of several individuals, under the
caption of: List Of persons tc uhosa the Herald
containing the Manifesto is requested to be sent.
Ny object was simply and purely to have those
gentlemen read the said document for their own
information and requested you to forward it
to them, because Of my inability to do It from
these Springs. It is, therefore, with deep NOR
tiicatiun, that have seen that list published in
the Herald OF day before yesterday, with the
statement made by yon that the names which
it contains are those OF persons connected with
tile Cuban movement. Anxious as | am to

paraded before the public, the origin Of this

as Americans, opposed to tyranny, l am, no
more than any other individual, warranted in
stating that they are engaged in cooperating
with the Cubans in their revolutionary move

those enlightened consideration and personal

TO THE SOUTHERN ERA.

Our esteemed contemporary Of Richmond, Virginia
complains that We published in our paper a poetic
composition extracted from his columns for which due
credit was no, given. We assure our friend OF the
Era that it was an unintentional omission. 1t was
not claimed by us original. We never do tricks
that sort--But even failure to give proper credit
for an article borrowed borders on crim;nali'y We
regret it and beg to be excused for it in this instance
It is our almost unvaryng custom to give our brethren
of the Press the full advantage Of their original
pieces.

Hoes:-Thc packing season is approaching,
and until qua recently prices of hogs had an
upward tendHncy. Within few days however,
a reaction has been pcrccptiblc, which is in part
owing to thevery material decline in the hog
