A little from Each.
AS We are looking over our exchanges throughout
the State this morning, we may rs well take notes of
what they have all been doing during the past week.
We will pick them up just as tliey lie upon one an
other, without reference to the merits of this

The Sumpter Banner turns up first. All Can it
be! The editor acknowledges not having read the
speech of his immediate Congressional Representative
(IIoa. w. w. BoYcE) until The evening of the l4th
inst But he did read it then and concludes that Mr.
BoYcE has proven himselfa sound thinker and deep
reasoner." The Banner of the 18th has something
about the "War," compliment to I" LIE Bns BIeu"
a little about Walkers Expedition, and good deal
on the subject of trip recently made by the editor to
Columbia. How ieelingy the craft all speak Of that
fellow JAYNEr in Columbia! We have noticed this
repeatedly. Our friend of the Sumpier Banner re-
marks in the sketch before u.s. that his Hotel is "ihe
rcry bent in all the country" The number Of the
Banner before us is creditaby filled and we'll printed
The " Lexington Telegraph" is the next sheet We
open. The Telegraph seems to be still driving away
at the Newberry Sentinel The two have been en-
gagged in n contest Of wits for time. We doubt
not their coming out Of it with sharpencd weapons.
They are practising upon each other quite freely.
The Telegraph of last week is full of the proposed
Rail Road between Columbia and Hamburg, and has
pertinent editorial upon the subject. Mr.. MEETEB
has been invited to speak q, the Ridge on the 27h,
but declines on account Of other business.-We see
that the citizens of Lexington have appointed dele
gates to the Commercial Convention which is to meet
in Charleston next monthly the bye, We must not
omit 10 mention here that the editor OF the Telegraph
has been sojourning with his lady in our village and
vicinity for nearly week. We were pleased to see
him again and again at Office, and hope to hear
that he has enjoyed his visit to our town.-On an.
other column will be found the proceedings of Rail
Road meeting recently held at Lexington c. House, at
whicle resolutions adopting the Ridge route and abb
juring any other, were unanimously agreed to.

We come now 10 the " Carolinian" Of Friday and
Saturday last. We glad 10 learn thereby that Mr..
MAYBIN, the Intendant of Columbia has arranged for
an Engineer survey the several routes spoken of for
the Columbia and Hamburg Rail Road. This survey
will be commenced early in April.-The Carolinian
is in defence of Judge WTHERs against an attack
made upon him by the Carolina Times" The
Times, seems accused the Judge of " want of pa.

more the fault of The bar than of the BENCH the former

so, he shonld be judged lenienty.-The editor Of the
Caronan speaks up for his town in article OF
the 18th. He speaks of it as the Floral City of the

to that Of Aiken, especially for consumptives. We

that cigars improve very rapidly at Columbia, owing

that there are three four other houses either in the

Next. we come to the Independent tAhbeville)

South Carolina Anica.-The good people, it appears,
have had Court there too, and much business vas
left unfinished require an "eStra Court" which
is 10 be he'd in the latter part of April-The Press
speaks briefly in regard to the Congressional Elec-
tinn which is to come on regularly next October, and
expresses the opinion that to oppuse the present in.
cumbent would be "a desperate undertaking." This
may or may not he, according to circumstances. 1t
depends very much upon the position Of Abbevile in
the matter.-The Press informs that the Grand

The " Southern Patriof' lies next. We open it and
find an account Of Anderson Court where the editor,
Maj. PERRY practises. This is in the Majors usual
style, rambling and hastily thrown together, but quite
entertaining. Then comes an article on Popular
Education" in winch sundry "Taber.like" passages
are taken of sundry reviews and held mp to pub.
