all and in many will not, except by compul-

cases impractcable, owing to distance some other
circumstances. The only remedy, therefore, that
we can see is the adoption of the Cash System. This

in the way to success of the country press, and
would at the same time, command the approval of
all men who are capable ofappreciatng the subject

in town and country that we give notice that

be required to make regular annual renewals"

SUDDEN DEATH.-Our community was shocked on
Wednesday evening, by the sudden death of most
esmable citizen, j. b. G. Roulhac, Esq. Mr.. Roul-
hac had just returned from his dinner, and was
alone in his coun,ng-room, his clerk having gone to
his dinner; and friend, happening to enter, found
him dead i'll his chair. 1t is supposed that his death
was caused by all affection of the heart. Truly,
truly, Gin the midst of life in death"
Mr.: Roulhac was far advanced in life, being over
sixty years of age. He was member from the
County of Be,tie of the Convention of 1885, called
to revise the State Constitution. He had resided
here for several years past, and by his gentemanly
bearing and excellent social qualities, had the
respect and esteem of all.

Our correspondent from Washington is right We
Think in saying that President Pierce is the natural
and almost necessary candidate of the South for the
next Presidency. We fally believe that such is the
general feeling of the Southern people. Why, in
deed, should they desire change? Mr.. Pierce has
made good all his pledges-he has been emphatically
the President of the people. of the law and of the
Constitution If we have a chance of getting
thing as good as his Administration, can have
no hope Of obtaining anything better.

RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAN-The Washing
ton Union of Saturday says that such question
as the suspension of diplomatic intercourse with
Great Britain has been before the Cabinet; but that
our relations with that government certainly
delicate, and perhaps critical. The Union adds ::
"Whilst we desire by this correction to avoid any
unfounded apprchensions of an impending difficulty
with Great Britain, we cannot deny that there are
serious questions of difference between the two gov
ernments which ought to be thoughtfully considered
by those members of Congress who are obstructing
the organization Of the House."

"cheatng could be of any avail before the people,
Cameron and his "clan" of X. Ms, would soon

The Battle of New Orleans was won hy no COM
mon man. Andrew jackson was formed hero and
n statesman by Gods own hand. That signal vic
tory was the opportunity which placed him favora-
lily before the eyes of that nation the chief public
servant of. which he subsequently became, and in
which he enjoyed the highest and most enduring
popularity ever vouchsafed to any man among u.s.
to the Father of his country. When
minded of the genius the irmncss and the integrity
he displayed in political contests to which the srug
| gle Of New Orleans had been but trihe we as
Democrats, and Americans have additional rea-
| son to be thankful that Andrew Jackson won the
| immortal Battle Of the Eighth of January.
| A signal instance Of the manner in which true
greatness and patriotism will outlive partisan de-
traction and hate, is shown in the fact that many
day will observe this Anniversary whose op-
position to Gen. jackson, in his lifetime, urged
far beyond the ordinary limits of personal and poli:-
! ical hostility. His fame has come down to us,
| ccansed of the aspersons of politicians and men
| who once cursed him will now drink to his glorious

to $3-Cotton, to cents-Pork, to cents, be-

have also advanced, and now readily sell for Sl10C
| to 12OC for fellows-$S00 to 1000 for women-SSOC
to 1000 for boys-and 5000 to 500 for girls. There
has been but little variation in the prices of hiring
negro men hiring from $l65 to 200-plough boy:

be lively and prosperous the money market no
