Valedictory.

Having disposed ofmy cntercst in the HaieHigenccr
to JAS a. Herr, with this publication my con-
nccton with 1t ceases It is with feelings of rcluc
-,..uv ,i..,, I rIKc my JuurnaI, the Use
and progress Of which 1 have looked to With so
much Interest, and bid adieu to kind fricrds who
have given us their aid, by word and deed, which
will enable it to stand alone, while yet in its in
fancy. But while my heart is mcllowcd by the
tender and pathetic word adieu, can utter it,sus-
tained by the hope that your relation to the Intcth-
ocucer will b. of longer duration than mine has
becn ms we'll as from the further satisfaction of be-
lieving that your interests will not suffer in the
hands of him 10 whom now commit it. MIR. Hort
is practical printcr-ohase and vigorous writer,
and in every respect, competent to make ncwspa-
per interesting, and instructive. With truth en-
blazoned on its masthead and judgment and dis
creion its rudder,.I doubt not that it will brave
the tempcstuos sea of politics, and eventually enjoy
the placid sea that succeeds the storm.
To those engaged in preparing food for the pub
lie mind, with but little remuneration, extend the
parting hand, regretting that am so crcamstan-
ced as TO withdraw my name from the list fbcnc
factors.
To those who are laboring for the lntellgencer'
VIC say farewell, and to the Deril, long farewell
.J.C. C. FEATHERSTON.
The reader will learn from the above card, that
Mr.. PEAruERsroS has disposed of his interest in
the Intelgencer to the undersigned, who will here
after be alone upon the stormy sea OF cditorAl
life And in appearing before the public as VOL
untary "sontinel upon the watch-tower, II Is
proper to indulge, in brief terms, an expression OF
my feelings, objects and purposes, and ass briefly
indicate tho course which will govern my actions.
The Luielhycncer entered upon existence rs IN IN
dependent journal, unrammeled by party tics or
ultcrior influences of any kind Misunderstanding
for its guidance the brilliant star of Truth, welded
TO the interests and destinics of the people among
whom it is published, and an earnest advocate of
resistance to the usurpation of Southern rights and
immunitics. Its consistency thus far is to be
judged by the intelligent readers who have num-
bered themselves among its supporters and can
only promise an adherence to the principles and
objects already advocated through its editorial
columns To the people of Anderson my place of
residence by choice, shall ataall times be- ready
to discharge my duties as citizen, and to them
confidently lock for patronage and aid to sustain
the enterprise which is now solely mine, and which
asks support upon its own merits-nOthing more
nor less.
1t is with genuine feelings of regret that I re-
ceive the farewell word from my late partner. Our
intercourse has been of the most cordial and
friendly character, and it is to me matter of pc
cuiar sorrow that circumstances are such as to
render it proper and right for him to retire from
the fraternity He carries with him my heartiest
wishes for golden success and prosperity, andaan
easier life thaa an editors can possibly afford.
To tho brethren of the Press am no stranger,
and can approach them with little diffidence in
asking continuance of their kindly recognition
and fraternal regard.
To readers generally, 1 would make the pro-
foundest bow, and subscribe myself the public's
very humble servant,
