WILLIAM GREGG, ESQ.

We understand from reliable quarter
that about six thousand dollars have been
received at Kalmia, for Peaches, large
portion of which were shipped to new York
and sold by VIM. Gregg. Esq, who planted
HI Orchard in lS47, after the completion of
Graniteville, in the vicinity of that beautiful
and Aourishing manufacturing village, with
a view to supply New York with Fruit.
What commentary on the neglected re.
sources of South Carolina, which need only
the hanl of enterprise to bring them out.
The sand ridges near Aiken and Granitville
may, with little enterprise, be converted into
fruitful orchards, and made to yield larger.
profit than the culture of Cotton or Rice.
We understand that Mr.. Gregg has been
brought out as candidate for the Legisla.
ture, from Edgefeld District, where he now
resides, at his orchard farm, in the village or
settlement called Kalmia. His enterprises
in that District as a manufacturer and bor-
tcuIturist, richly entitled him TO any Office
within the gift of the Edgefeld people. We
regarded his removal from Charleston as
public loss, and trust that old Edgefeld will
duly appreciate his merits and gladly EN-.
brace the opportunity to enlist in her .legis.
lative service, gentleman Of so much intel.
Iigence and practical ability as Mr.. Gregg.
He will make one of the most useful mem.
hers on the floor of the House.
Mr.. Gregg is a public benefactor. He
has developed our manufacturing resources,
and been the founder of Granitevie, where
The Cotton Factory, which owes its existence
10 him, is in the tull tide of successful and
profitable experiment, and while he has been>
the means of converting large number of
the saud hill population into useful laborers
aud good citizens, giving them remunerating
employment, and their children both employ
ment and education, and in every way i'm
proving both their physical and moral con-
ditiou, he has now opened, in his peach cul.
ture, new road to competence and perhaps
wealth, which all his neighbors and his fel.
low citizens in similar tracts of country,
throughout the State, may travel. if they
please. He who makes a blade of grass
grow where none grew before, is said to do
u service to bis kind, and to be a public bene.
factor. This praise is certainly due to MIR.
Gregg. He deserves 10 have monument in
honor of his enterprise and noble spirit erec.
ted at Graniteville out of his own granite.
But is not that Granite village already his
living and his enduring monument'-Cbar.

Mr.. Whitney asked, but did not obtain
leave, to introduce bill to repeal certain
enactments of the Kansas Legislature, and
to define and secure the rights of the people
in that Territory.
A message was here received from the
President that he had signed the Army bill.
Mr.. Grow offered resolution that the
President be respectfully requested to direct
the Dis,rict.Atforney for the Territory Of
Kansas to apply to the proper court for
leave to enter nolle prosequi on all the in.
d ctments now pending for treason, or any
other political ofense alleged to have been
committed in that Territory.
The question on that resolution was de.
feated by calling the Yeas and Nays on q
motion to adjourn until the time concurrent.
ly fixed for the termination of the session
(39 o'clock,) when the Speaker declared the
House adjourned sine die, before the Com.
mittee to wait on the President reported.
