IN ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

FoR the benefit of friends at a distance, to whom
things of this character assume degree Of i'm
portancc, unknown to those at home, take occasion
to say that the little piece of sparrng which has oc
CURED between myself and the leading editor of
this paper, should not be construed as indicating any
bitterness of feeling or alienation of regard What
have written in this weeks issue, dune under
the force Of feelings excited by editorial Of last
week, and perhaps exhibits more Of the spirit Of the
"old ADAM" than is consistent with the character
of one whose business it is to teach lessons Of meek
ness In conversation held with COL SlMKINs since
my article went TO press, mutual explanations were
made, which removed, and trust forever consigned
to the tombs of the Capulets, what little feeling OF
irrasicibility might have existed. How many foun-
tains of bitter waters" might be sealed up effeetu-
ally, il this course always pursued before men
had committed themselves to particular course Of
action.
In retiring from the paper, thc propriety Of do
ing which have some time been considering, and
for reasons not necessary to mention carry with me
feelings only Of kind regard for all connected with
the Office, even down to the ebony ink roller; in
regard to which last can scarcely restrain wish
that had his daguerreotype as he has stood at my
gate waiting for "copy" or "prOof," but afraid to
venture within reach of the Gngs Of my mongrel
pointer, who is terror to all little intruders. To
each and all then we say Par pobiseum.

ward march,
We have now perhaps said as much in this article
as the occasion demands-we hope we have not said
more. The concluding paragraph of our Intelligent
and high-spirited friend may tpossiby) be merely
thrown in by way of pacebo. But we preferto recog
Mise it as genuine And without effort at the rhet
orc of old "reminiscences, we adopt and recprocate
the happily expressed sentiments of our quondam
schoolmate. In the language of the "Undertaker,"
who undertook to deliver himself Of pacicatory sem
ment at the hebdomadal meeting OF certain Coun-
try Club" we emplatically say" Let US bury all
animosities."
But We concude. Even granting that we were out
and out wrong, no such matter as should kndle
so large fire. A simple note, assuring US that we
were mistaken in our conclusions would have called
forth the handsomest apology al our command. But
standing beoreour readers as we do, attacked for
doing what really considered due 10 them as we'll
ourself-we confess that no very apologetc spirit
possesses US. Still, ifit may do any good, we have
personal objection to admitting fault in the matter
and asking forgiveness for the Of all it may have
troubled.

Observation-Disclosures sc.

WE hear of School examinations and exhibitions in
every quarter. The papers of South Carolina are
teemng with notices Of these educational demonstra
lions here, there and every where. 1t would seem
that people are determined to take this noble cause
into their own Eands, without reference to the State
or State funds. We had looked with great interest
for successful scheme Of general education to be
promuged by some one of our many wise and skilful
legislators but thus far none seem 10 have appeared
of sufficient comprehensyeness and fulness of detail
to command public confidence. Perhaps it is well
enough as it is. The educational spirit, now so mani
festly abroad among our people, may possibly do
more for general cultivation and refinement than any
uniform and fixed State system could effect AT all
events the present indications are decidedly cheering
In this connection we may remark that Edgefeld,
among the rest, is awakening to her duty. In almost
every part of the District schools Of greater or less i'm.
porance are springing up. Among the most valuable
are those known as the Curyton Academies. By
reference to notice elsewhere published, it will be
seen that the first public examination and exhibition
Of these schools will take place during the present
month. Mr. G. D. TrLLMAN, a talented member Of the
Edgefed Bar is 10 deliver the address Of the occasion
From the we'll known ability Of Mr. LESLIE, principal
of the Male department. and the high character of the
other teachers connected with these institutions, the
public may anticipate large degree of satisfaction
from the performances of their pupils. We beg leave
10 bespeak for these examinations full attendance.
P S. Since the foregoing was in type, we have re.
ceiyed notice that the Curryton Examinations are
posiponed.

the praircs from nine to ten months in the year and
sometimes even longer in consequence Of our short
winters.
Before concluding must say something concern
ing present prospects for crop this year. The corn
is now so far advanced that we can form pretty
accurate estimate Of the probable quantity that will
be gathered have long been accustomed to raising
corn and cotton, and from my experience in that busi
ness feel safe in saying that the present crops
in this section of country will not fail short Of an
average yield Of twenty FIVE bushels pcr-acre, and
the quantity planted j, unusually large. There are
many fields which am satisfied must yield from
tbrty-fiYe to forty bushels per-aere Corn will ne
ces,arily be quite cheap here for the next twelve
months
The Cotton crop look, very well and promises
heavy yield. The Cotton is from three toscven feet
IN height and very well formed. am crcdiby in
formed that thoasard pounds to the acre is fire.
ouenty gathered from good hammock fields and also
from some of the pine land fields. The prospect now
is as fair as it has ever been in this section Of country
Perhaps some of your readers may think that l,ou-
sand pounds is by no means heavy yield. They
must bear in mind that speak Of long Cotton (or
Sea Isand only, and that one pound Of that Cotton
usually commands about four times the price Of
pound Of short Cotton. now ask what would
plantation sell for in Carolina which would yield one
thousand pounds Of short Cotton to the acrel Such
place can be had here for eight dollars per.acre
ondc are MT On hr here ~ IL is with Won and we
can make three or four times rs much on it. They
are steadily advancing in value however, and the op
portunity for getting cheap plantaonsin Florida will
soon be numbered among the things that were.
Those who contemplate moving to ourstate had bet
ter do so without delay, especially as Corn will be
unusually cheap next year. Come at once, and you
can readily be accommodated with good water, good
health, good society, cheap corn, and good planta-
tons at reasonable prices. A. l.. ..

THE EARTH rs THE LORDS.

In regarding the overaowing abundance which now
promises with certainty to crown the good year OF
1855, feeling Of. eIultaiion is irrepressble. The
sight of broad co-felds green and rank in e1uber.

the evening breeze plays among the towering stalks

the heavy Of the earlier pantingal giving ear
nest of what the Scotch would call Z" wealth o'pen.
ishing''-is it not delightful to contemplate And yet
we should beware how we suffer that feeling Of exul.
tation to fill US with undue boastfulness of spirit.
Remember the story of one who said to his soul,
Thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take
thine ease, eat, drink aud be merry" Remember too
and realise, that grearruth, simply expressed by
the Apostle to the Gen!es, that "the earth is the
Lords and ,le fulness thereof" Thus will we temper

THE HERO OF SAN JACINTO.

SAM HoUsToN's laurels, it would seem, are about
to be bghted His boaslfulness as 10 the heroic part
he acted on the memorable field of San Jacin'o has at
length called down upon him the scornu denunciaon
of some of his really brave compatrots in arms
Cen Sherman saws that whenever full narrative
of the battle is given truthfuly to the world "Gen.
IIouslon's mushroom fame will rapidly decompose
and sink into pu,rescence with the mass Of alsehoods
upon which it rests; :" and Gen. Lamar says, My
opinion is that he himself houston) was the only cow
