The Ycrkville Enquircr noticing tho recent
elections speaks in high terms of two of our mem
bers as follows:
"Col. NJ C. Butler is young and talented
representative of the name which, since the be-
ginning, has done the State noble service. His
ancestors the Perrys on the sea and the Buffers
on the land, have alike done honor to our flag.
and as sure as it is true that "like father, like
SON" VIC nav. in him double assurance of vail
art service in these ;' 'troublous times" Upon the
election of our friend, Col. VI. W. Gary, we must
express especial qualification. At the opening Of
the canvass, he to.k prompt and decided ground
against the Blue Ridge Railroad, aud with the
,en;;re weight of the Delegation, We believe, and
IN mliority Of the District against him, he fought
through the canvass and won the day, bravely.
Under the circumstances his election must be re-
sarled rs u recognition Of his position and com
plinent to his decided ability, full of meaning"
We thank our friend of the Enquirer for this
compliment to these worthy young gentlemen:
lat must be permitted to make correction in re-
lation to his statement of the election of Col. GA
E., which the Enquirer says was in consequence
of his position on the Blue Ridge question. This
is mistake COL GARY, it is true was supported
by the anti-Blue Ridge party, but he was likewise
supported by many who we're strong advocates 70,

Chean Corn.

Mr. A. 2. ALLEN, of Fairmount; Clark County,
Missouri, in letter to the Laurensvillo Herald,
furnishes the following information for the people
Of this State to procure cheap Corn. Capitalists
have here an opportunity to make money:
Let the citizens of each District where there
- deficiency Of grain, send agents either to Hi
ro;s Iowa or Missouri. Let the agents 80 to
Eeokuk Alexandria, Warsaw, Canton and Quin-
y. aud advertise that they will give 20 cents per
bushel for corn, delivered ut the above named
cities; and by the time the river opens IN the
srrinr they will have sufficient to supply
ths demand in South Carolina. The freight on
yra;n from the above named cities, is cents per-
bnshel to St. Louis from ST. Louis to New Orleans
10 cents per husbel, and from New Orleans to
Charleston 10 cents per bushel, making the cost oI
freight 81 cents per bushel by pursuing this
course, corn will not cost more than W cents per
hnshel when delivered Mt Laurens c. II.
az know that there is quite surplus OF corn IN
Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, and when the river
navigation Closes there will bs no market for it;
consequently, it will be very cheap. The agents
could station themselves ut the different points
named on the river; and it would be good idea
for them to make arrangements with the merchants
to purchase grain at certain figures, anu Keep II
until tho river opens in the spring BY making
this arrangement, they would gave the cost 0l
storage, and the merchant would get the cash for
his goods.
"This fall will be the best tinc to purchase.

DIsvSIoS.--Gen. L. P. Walker, of Alabama,
we note, does not attempt to conceal his
disunionism. In q speech made recently at
Cowpcn Springs, in Lauderdale County. he is
reported in letter to The Montgomery 4drcr
User as fellows:
Inreply to the question, swhat would he
do if Lincoln was elscled2' Gen. w. said
drawing himself up to his full height, and in
the sublimest strain of eloquence, that come
veal, or come woe, SO help him God, he would
not submit, and that he would take the banner
of the Constitution, and plant it where the
honor or safety of the South demanded, and
that he would defend il with his life and for.
tune against Saracens or MoorS! His answer
was noble and grand, and nobly was it answer
ed by the crowd. One old gentleman, whose
white locks and tottcring form indicated that
he had run his "tlree,score years and ten,
called Gen. w. to his chair, after he closed
and with tears running down his cheeks. said,
General, wish was young, would fight
and die with you" do not honestly believe,
except two or three Douglas leaders, that
there were a half dozen i'll the crowd that dis
sent:d from Gen. Walkers speech. Our peo.
pie are now thoroughly aroused.
