WINDING IS THE CABLE.

Instantly preparations were made for getting
the Great Eastern round, and employing the
vinding-in apparatus fixed forward specially to
be used in case Of such mishsps- 1t was hoped,
OF course, tnat its use would never be required,
and very many believed that. whether required
or not, it would never accomplish what il was
intended to achieve. The result proved the fal-
lacy Of both hopes and fears The severed por-
ton Of the cable WAS passed into this machine,
and, the Great Eastern stesming back over the
ropes course, the work Of reeling in at once
began. The cable came up with singular ease.
The strain on the dynxmometer Of the machine
never exceeded eighteen hundred, which was

POLICE REGULATIONS.

For the better government OF society,
and the maintenance Of peace and good
order in these troublous times, the Town
Council of Anderson has organized an eff
fectivc police force, including all male res
idents from 16 years and upwards. AS
yet the system is not maturcd and we re-
grct to say that there arc too many ready
to offer excuses and evade the duty inn
posed. This should not be the case,
and we would earnestly urge, upon one
and all, the necessity of prompt compli-
-ance with tho small demand upon their
time and services. Thc,police is ander
competent chief, With seven assistants,
and is sufficiently numerous to preserve
order if every man will chccrfllly dis
charge the duty incumbent upon him.
In this connection, we might very prop.
erly cite, for the bcncHt Of tic doubling
and credalous, the order issued from Co
lumbia, requesting citizens to uaite in the
preservation Of the public welfare, and
which will be found upon oarfourth page.

nifty as Il candidate for general patronage.
we feel that it is entirely appropriate to
address n few words to that generous pub
lie which has sustained us heretofore in
all our humble efforts. Tho nteltigencer
is set ahoat at this timc, under peculiar
circumstances, and after an experience BY.
no means pleasant or profitable to the
rroprietors. Upon its resumption iii
February last, after suspension OF near
ly four years, there was no desire on our
part to accumulate an cxtravagant guam
tity of the currency then cxtant, and
consequently the price Of subscription
was placed within the reach of the poor
est and humblest i'll the land. After
three months Of unccasing effort top per-
form Tic obligation under which We had
voluntarily placed ourselves, to furnish Il
medium for general and local intelligence,
the fortunes of war dissipatcd, at a sim
glc revolution of the wheel, all our expec-
tations, and left US in an exceedingly
crippled condition, from which we are
only partially recovered. In other words,
the damage done to our material is only
sufficiently repaired to enable us to pre-
sent tie Iute%yencer in very diminu-
tive form.
During the vacuum thus made in our
history as journalists, events have crowd
cd swiftly upon each other, and to-day
VIC find totally different existence all
around us. The Confederate cause has
waxed and waned, until there is not left
~ scmbance Of its vitality in the country
cast of the Mississippi River. The Uni
ted States has resumed authority over
the region named, and the people of the
Southern States are left to contemplate
their Impoverished and uneneiable condi-
ton With sincere honesty and candor,
we are. free to admit that this state Of
things is contrary to our wishes and the
hopes induced by the struggle for> indc-
pcndcncc. Yet VIC cannot sink into pools
of dcspondcncy nor founder amid che
shoals OF despair, but would rather bold

THE CROPS.

Thcprospcct for an abundant corn crop
in this section has never been excclled
within our recollection. Frequent and
copious showers have prevented a days
suffering in the corn fields, and it is u
common remark that the corn crops
were never more easily worked than this
season.
The wheat crop has turned out badly,
in most instances scarcely producing the
seed. In alP probability our people will
have to. be content with very short al
lowance of four.e
The fruit crop promises to be most
abundant. The peach trees arc laden
with an unusual quantity of fruit, and if
no mishap. occurs, there will, be an eSces-
sivcly large yield.
Bag- We call attention 10 the advertise
ments in this issue, showing that there is
some industry and business being pursued
in our town.
