Of social confab with you, (and have

The "arorcsaid' White did most completely
humbug the people Of Anson. but do not
think, however, that because people allow
themselves to be imposed upon, or humbug-
gcd that they are less discriminative or incl
ligent, than those " no have been more fortu-
nate in this particular. Tell me will yOu,
who have not been humbugged, ny, who
have not hcen humbuggod by Yankee
either by such men as White,-somc grac-

something of the kind?

"yoemanry," for such he said he only want

is, n good one, and some five or six of our
citizens put off about the 10Th nit, upon
their own hooks TO "paddlc their canoes"

What do you say Mr.. Ed?
White is full six feet high; weighs about
200 lbs. dark hair and eyes; wears n
luxuliant, and black growth of whiskcrs
shaves ouly the upper lip,-which is gene
rally clenched with good deal of assumed
signifeance;- stentorian voice; strength
almost of Milo, and impudence ola Plato.
With the above just tribute of respect,
hand him over TO an impartial public.
We had something TO say in ''our" March

seem, inopportunc rpmarks The prospect
for building X. II. through Anson, ut this

acaked to their, interest, have nomioalIy
said, 'wc will have it," The subscription
plan did not seem to excite us much from
some cause, and the "Spartan Band" was
n little like the one in Lancaster, not quite
large enough to build road despite of all
opposition.
The State has appropriated one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars as you are aware,
and propose. 10 eur citizens the plan Of
Taxation as The practicable one; accordingly
our citizens met at T., H., some few weeks
since, and agreed TO raise one hundred apd
fifty thousand dollars by this taxation plan,
Il presume both personal and real estate
property will be taxed.) They appointed
the 4th of Juiy as the time to try the
strength Of our citizens upon the subject,
in other words, TO vote yea or nay" Rail
Road or no Ral Road have no kind OF
doubt out that the plan will succeed most
admirably. More than three fourths OF our
citizens will vote in the affirmative. Thc
