Saledav.

The number of persons in attendance on
Monday last was large Much valuable
property was sold, the land sales amounting
to about $4,000. A negro boy was knocked
OFF at 5000.
The Pickcns Agricultural Society held a
meeting in the Court House, in tho morning,
for the purpose of preparing for the Anniver-
sary or Fair, which is to come off at "a future
day.
The erection ofa new arch, under the up
per Kcowec bridge, was let to Col. HAGooD,
at S35Qo0o, he being the lowest bidder.
AS usual tho candidates were pleasant and
busy. Their time is growing short, and they
seem disposed to improve it. There has been
no excitement We glad to perceive, in the
canvass thus far; nor is there any necessity
for such state of affnirs

The Africans.

Tho Africans discharged from the Echo, in
Charleston, are still the topic. The question
ofjurisdiction has created quito discussion.
The Sheriff of Charleston, underlegal advise
ment, thought it his duty to take charge of
the negroes under the act of 1885 This was
resisted by the Marshal of the United States
under the legal opinion of the District Attor-
ney. Finally, to get rid of the difficulty the
Africans were removed to Fort Sumter, with
out the jurisdiction of the State.
We copy from tho Mcrcmy an interesting
account of a visit of the editor to these unfor-
tLnate creatures.

BA. THoMpsoS, Editor Keowee Couricr--
Sir: Some friend, in y late number of your
paper, has suggested my name in q manner
highly flattering to mo in connection with
the office of Tax Collector, and feel it due
to the person so calling upon mo and to such
of my friends as may think of mo in this con-
nection, to say to them through the medium
ofyour paper, that Unjust at this time decline
becoming a candidate for Office not that am
unwilling to serve, should occasion require,
either my friends or my district, (thc service
of both hold to be a sacred duty) which
hope never to forget. But am growing old
and find myself without either the inclination
or the leisure to undertake the fatigues of an
elcctionecring canvass. There are many
young mon in tho district whose convenience
and tastes this business would more aptly suit
and whose ability to discharge tho duties of
the Office to the satisfaction of the people un-
doubtedly much greater than any pretend
to possess. BY inserting this in your paper,
you will confer, sir, an obligation on your
obcdicnt servant, JoHN BowEN.

For the Cotton Planters of Pickens Dis
trint
SALunnrY, S. G.. Sont. G, 1858.

SALupRITY,S. c., Sept. G, 1858.
Mr. Eaitor: We hope you will not request
us to give any reason forintroducing one of
the greatest machines for the facility of those
who plant cotton much or little. we have
had the pleasure of seeing the machine in op-
Grafton, and do believe it to be one of the best
inventions that ever has been invented for the
benefit of the cotton planters. The machine
is n very simple one, and easily madc-not
hard to manage in planting. Ono of it's ad-
vantagcs is that it plants in direct line, at
equal distance, at uniform depth, and cur
tails the labor considerably in planting and
cultiyating, and in many othor advantages
We learn from one of our friends that our
fricnd, MIR. JouN SuRUM. has purchased tho
right for Pickcns District, and we arc satisfied
that ho would be glad to exhibit his machine
at any time, at Salubrity, and we heard he
had reduced the price to SO. guess that is
in order to sell more of his machines We
hope it will be profitable to him and those
who purchase from him. Yours, with esteem,
FRIEND TO ALL WELL DISPOSED PERSONS,
BOTH MALE AND FEMALE.

a Destructive Storm.

We learn that destructive storm visited
the South Western section of Pickcns district,
on the Sd instant, accompanied by heavy
rain. The Merchant Mill of the Messrs.
SHELoR was injured by the house being mov-
cd a few inches. A dwelling of Mr. Moses
MEssER was blown down, together with the
barn of Mr.. HAWTHORNE. Other houses were
blown down and unroofed in the noighbor-
hood. The damage to property in that sec
tion, has been very considerable, but we are
unable to get anything like correct ost-

a. Home Anecdote.

One of the editors of the n. G.. Presbyterian
is refreshing himself at the Virginia Springs.
AT the White Sulphur he met DIR. w. of Lex
ington, and was told an anecdote about the
DR.. and Speaker ORR. The editor tells it
thus:
Not long since. they were both at the warm
springs, and met in public room of the IIo-
tel. They had been sitting with other COM
ed across tho room with the usual limp in his
gait. Mr.. Orr Immediately recognized him,
ard asked if lie were not Chaplain at the
University of Virginia at such time, nam
ing the year. The DR.. replied that he was.
"1 was there" said Mr.. Orr, "a student, at
thoUniversity, and knew youby your limp"
WELL" said the Dr., cit seems my Hmping
made n deeper impression OH you than my
ppeaching." The joke placed MIR. Orr in an
have been unable to oxtricate themselves, but
he replied with ready wit. "Ah, Dr., it is
the highest compliment we can pay n minis-
ter to say that he is known by his walk rath-
er than by his CONVERSATION"
LABOR IN THE FREE STATEs.--As fur
ther evidence of the depressed condition of
labor in the Free States, We subjoin the fol-
lowing, which we find in late number of
the Philadelphia Press
A recent visit to the interior of Pennsyl-
vania, has convinced us that the worst ac-
counts of destitution among the sons of toll
have not been exaggerated. The best
hands can be had at so cents day in the
harvest field, and those who last year easily
earned 81 so per diem, are now glad to
work Cor one-third theamount. Meanwhile
in the department of skilled labor, every
thing is dull. Manufacturers are compell-
ed to reduce their force or suspend opera
tions entirely. Furnaces are closed, forges
stand still, the coal trade is stagnated, and
general apathy prevails. Those who have
capital refuse to invest it until something
is done to stimulate business Those who
have no capital are in the greatest uncertain
ty as to the future.
Mr.. VERNON IN THE FoREsTs.--A letter
from David v. Whiting, Esq, postmaster at
