The Gazette has improved very much in the
last three or four years; previous to that time
1t was small size 10 by IL sheet. During
the Party contest Of Secession and Co-ope-
ration, the Gazette, was enthusiastically in
favor Of the former creed. We trust there
is an end now to this party war, and our
oninion is, that our newspapers are infinite
y more interesting when not engaged in
these strifes. The Gazette is edited in an
able manner and with considerable spirit and
fearlessaess.
SOUTHERN RIGHTS ADVOCATE, Anderson
c. H., Edited and Published by Isban J.
Rice, Esq, at 81 90 per year.
The old Pcndleton Messenger, one of the
Oldest papers in the State, that mad battled
through many political party contests, was
purchased last Spring and converted into
the =. r. Advocate, a Cooperation paper.
This paper contains much reading matter,
the editorials are well written, and although
1t has not completed the first volume, we
trust the patronage it may receive will place
1t on such a foundation, that no political gale
will ever prevail against it.
SOUTHERN PATRIOT, Greenville: D. F. Per-
ry & c. J. Elford Editors. G. E. Elford
Publisher.
For the past two years no paper has been
more talked of than the Patriot. Il being n
Union paper, some valued edit-acquiescing in,
and adopting its views-whilst others were
actually in terror if "Southen Patriot"
were mentioned. People now are not as thy
were twenty or thirty years ago-nothing
satisfies but excitement You must excite
the feelings to become notorious. BY the man.
ner in which the Patriot was spoken of, We
are inclined to think some Secessionists took
it merely to see what kind of thing the
Elephant was.
Let all that be as it may, We pronounce
the Patriot to be good news paper. The
editorials are not only well written, but in
variably they are on subjects calculated to
give much information.
The KEowEE COURIER
Is published weekly at Pickens C. III. As
we only receive this paper once month, we
arc unable to give our opinion of its merits.
MoUSTAINEER, Greenville, 8. c., Published
weekly at 81 per year. w. II. Campbell

Editors.
The Mountainecr is twenty-six years old.
Our friend Wells, for long time owned and
edited it-some five years ago it was under
the control of Col. Townes.
The Mountaineer Is a very decent paper
and edited with much ability. Mr.. Camb-
bell is very fair writer, and Col. Towne's
experience added to his natural and also
we'll cultivated genius, renders him peculiar
ly adapted to this vocation. The Mountain.
Ger was q strong Secessionist, but the excite
ment being over n change has come over
the spirit of its DREAM" and we now find
long articles in its columns, giving proceed
ings Of May Parties, &c. We think the
change-from the Secession Party TO the
May Party-;s one calculated to render its
visits more agreeable to many of its readers,
especially to those Of the geniler ser.
NoTE.-Our notices Of papers arc neccssn-
rily brief; were they otherwise It would pre-
clude US from giving editorials on other sub
jects.
In our school boy days, we frequently re-
peated the example under one Of the rules
Of syntax, @Candour is to be approved and
practised."
This explanation we trust will convince
our cotemporaries Of the honesty of our pur-
pose.
