IL Is prlnclple with me, to state
all Statements distinctly, without
either artificial coloring, or varnish.
Therefore you must not take to your
self exclusive independence. Tho
world in its indifferent honesty has
left some careless independence, not
yet bargained for, and | take to my
self small motley thereof. Years,
give discretion, if it falls to the lot of
mankind ever to have any, and rs /
have travelled from the seventeeth, up
to the present ammo domini Of the
"eighteenth,' therefore am entitled
to speak on every and any matter of
"mere opinion"
| have long since, by age, passed
the imaginary point in existence, from
whence one totters off, the down hill
side of life, and / do not fatter myself
Gas some do) that / shall always live,
in this state of existence, and have
therefore arranged my worldly affairs
to leave theatre; upon which | have
witnessed some good strangely mix
ed with preponderance of D1uch evil.
| have been an invalid, for many
years, and have wandered hither and
thitber in pursuit of health and recre-
alton. A short time since, under med
icaI advice, | was directed to "Green-
well Springs" where--not without
some reluctance | repaired, without
hope however, that either the water
the fresh country air-or the change
Of scene, would reach a case, which
ease and contentment seemed alone to
benefit. But | had resolyed-and did
go.
On my arrival | was delighted-in-
deed disappointed "agreeably," in the
beauty Of the situation, laid off as it
is, with so much taste. / had not an
ticipated this in a place opened in the
wild wood, as it were, "but yesterday"
1t is not my intentention to give you
q description Of place---upon the
beauties Of which | might dwell at
length. On my arrival, I was vel
coined by familiar faces of home, all
bouyant and joyous in health. l went
to give the waters a trial, and must
say, in their use, | felt no desire for
the tonics, which | have been using
for months, under medical advice.
The water Of Greenwell, had most
celebrating and beneficial effect upon
me. After four days use of the wa
ter, [ found my strength restored, to
such degree that | dispensed alto
getner with any other aid. a sudden
change in the weather caused my re-
turn to town. On the strength Of my
own experience, | have purchased q
a lot, upon which I shall at once build.
Should ! rot live to receive the bene-
fit thereof, others who are still dear to
me, may. ~ Il. 9.
a Moral PLAcE.--Tho Pee Dee
IS. G. Times says:
eve are without Sheriff, and tho
Coroner, who has been discharging
the duties Of that officer, has just re-
sighed the thing didn't pay the
Clerk of the Court is about to resign
The Register of Mesne Conveyance is
also about to resign; the Ordinary
talks that way, and the Commissioner
in Equity says his office IS all honor
and no profit All this blessed con-
lition comes from lack Of crime, litiga-
ion and rascality generally.
Foreigh Lnagrotion.-The whole
number Of German emigrants who
arrived at New York from the first
If January last to the first Of Septem-
Der inst, was 1l6, 400, and of Irish,
Turing the same period, 54,548; to-
al 209,414, larger than the entire
population in each Of four States Of
he Union. Until lately the emigrants
rom Ireland were by far the most
Now, it seems, the tide
# emigration sets in from Germany
With more force than from any other
quarter.
AFTER DINNER TAEK.-"If were

olemnly, II SHOULD not like to be q
