PERSONAL.


1t was not my purpose to again
trouble the public with the difficulty
between Mr. E. M. Yerger and myself.
But his Gard, as published in his paper
ofyesterday, would seem to justify ga
few additional remarks"
After my article of Friday morning,
1t was presumed by those of my friends
who protested to understand "the
code" that he would, as the only reply
that could be made thereto, either send
me challenge, or initiate hostilities
on the street. He did neither; but,
after was arrested, and without either
a written or verbal notice of his pur
pose, an irresponsible little boy was
employed to post placard. Upon
being informed that was "being post
ed by Yerger," l disregarded the ar
rest, proceeded with a shotgun to the
corner, where l supposed, of course,
that l would find him standing by and
defending his poster; but he failed to
make his appearance; and, it seems
from his own statement, that he was
concealed in the most eflectual man
ner"-not so much, l apprehend, to
"avoid the officers of the law" as to
evade conflict which he would have
it believed, he was 80 anxious to meet.
He was informed by his friends that
l was proceeding to the corner armed
as stated; he knew that ! was there,
and he might have heard me denounce
him as / considered his conduct de-
served. Nor did he leave his hiding
place until | was forced back by my
friends and by the "officers of the law"
He then, in double quick time, jumped
into Garage in waiting, and went back
of the hill, where he must have known
that could not reach him, re arrested
and in actual custody as was. new
ertheless, made an effort to do so, but
not, however, upon the assurance that
he would pay my bond, for had that
been the only motive which controlled
my action, ! well knew the value of
his endorsements" Furthermore, l
have to say, that no such assurance was
given, and the statement that it was, is
simply false.
In conclusion, l have the pleasure
of knowing that all my friends are sat
isfed with my conduct throughout the
whole affair To them, and the public
generally, submit this plain and I'M
vanished statement of facts.

The New Orleans Herald is the title
of new candidate for public favor in
the Crescent City, the first issue of
which, appeared last Monday. The
Herald is a very small paper, with very
little indications of ability or newspa-
per enterprise, and will most likely
have brief career. From what we
have seen of it's editorials we suppose
it will be the rival Of the Tribune as
the Radical organ, and support the
misChievous and neutrality-suspicious.
of Judge Howell, in attempting to
resuscitate the putrid remains of the
Convention of 1864. The object of
Howell and his coadjutors, is to dis
franchise large part of the voters of
Louisiana, deliver the State to the Rad
icals, and plumber the Treasury. We
hope their infamous designs may be
thwarted. The Herald is a weak ally,
in q bad cause.

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN spAIN.:Thc Madrid
correspondent of the London Times reports that
the condition of affairs in Spain is daily becoming
more alarming, and that the people there are iiv-
ing in state Of chronic terror. The health of the
Queen is represented as being seriously impaired,
and suspicious afoat that sho was being
slowly taken of by poison. Tho treatment pur-
sued in her case by tho court pig sicians is de-
nounced as so prodisiousy absurd as to be
hardly explained on the score Of ignorance or in
fatuaton, and it was vcl- positively asserted that
she had become so reduced as to render it ex-
trcmcly doubtful whether she will 50 safely over
her forthcoming delivery. 1t is further declared
that not only is the Queen extremely unpopular,
but that this unpopularity has extended OF late
years to every member of her family, so that she
could not be set aside without imperiling the rights
of the Bourbon dynasty. 4 day later the same
correspondent writes that extraordinary precau-
tions had been ordered to be observed at the bar
racks; that changes In the garrison were going
on, and that regiments were being brought III
from the provinces, whilst those that were previ-
ously in Madrid were being sent away. The story
sounds somewhat sensational.

FOR SHERIFF.
Nine polls in tho District not heard from.

Tho orangeburg (S c. Times of the 10th instant
says: ssThe large concourse of freedmen who
had come to town on New Years day, having been
informed that the Government had no lands to
give them, but required that they should make
contracts and so to work faithfully, as all free
people should do, departed quietly to their differ
ent localities with fixed intentions to mark out
their dostinies with the plow and hoe. But news
was again spread over the District that General
SAxroN would address the freedmen at Orange
burg on Friday, 5th instant, and it was generally
believed that several thousand would again con-
gregate in town on that day-a supposition which
was not realized, for the colored people are evi-
IDENTIFY disgusted with spcechifying without
lands They have lost their 'faith,' by too much
work, not for want of works Consequently
only few hundred Of his sable brethren were as
sembled to hear what the General had to tell
them."

plorations in South America. His party now con-
sists of four grand divisions, one OF which has 1or
its field the peninsula lying south OF the city OF st'
Paulo and between the Parana River and the AT
lantic Ocean. The second division has the sea-
coast extending from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia, ana
as far westward as San Francisco River Inc
third division has tho interior, lying west OF the
San Francisco and between the tenth degree OF
south latitude and the tropic of Capricorn The
fourth division, at the head of which is Professor
AeAssIz himself, has for its tract the great Valley
of the Amazon, including its tributaries. This and
the coast section arc the two most interesting, If
not the most important fields.

LACK or Tnh1FT:-At the close Of the war, q
wealthy citizen Of Amherst accepting the results
of our defeat in good faith, entered into an en-
gagemcnt with the negroes Oh his plantation, by
Which he hoped to retain them in his employ and
raise crop They were to work tho farm on
shares, the proprietor furnishing money for oil
necessary expresses till the crops were gathered,
when it was to be refunded from the common
stock Notwithstanding this favorable arrange
mcnt, the frequent warnings and nrgings OF the
farmer, the efforts Of the soldiers sent to
SEQ that they did their duty, and every
thing cso that could be brought to
bear upon them, when tho products Of the
farm were valued, it was fonnd that there was not
enough to pay the expenses incurred in their pro-
duction. Astonishcd that Incidence had not
brought forth from tho earth as great q yield as
industry had previously drawn from her fertile
bosom, they came over in body, and laid their
complaint before tho agent Of the Freedmen's
Bureau Captain Lacy, after investigating the
case, dismissed them With the intormatic that
they had foolishly wasted their opportunity to
turn their labor to good account and had eaten up
in idlcncss, moro than they had made in the few
hours work which they could be induced to per-
form. The decision was necessary and just, be-
cause it was true; but the facts OF the case are

tablishing the labor of this country

How ONE PLANTER FILLS HIS P1ANrAr1oS.-A


How ONE PLANTER FILLS HIS PLANTAT1oN:-A
Momphis paper has the following
One of our planting friends, who was O very large
stakeholder before the war, has developed to us q
plan of operations for the ensuing year, which
seems 'step in the right direction" 1t is the
plan which he has himself adopted, and he is san
guino that it will work successfully and advantage
ously to both himself and his employees. His
the extent Of the requirements Of his very large
plantation, assigning to each one tho number OF
acres he may wish to cultivate-say fifteen, ten or
less number of acres, to be laid off and desig-
mated. The employer furnishes all the necessary
animals and implements at o fixed valuation, and
supplies all necessary clothing and provisions at
the cost price-a fair account being kept OF such
oEeither as may be drawn during the year.
IS hpnlates further, that If any laborers should
tho right to summon d jury q view selected from
his fcow-laborers, who may, il they find his crop
going to waste from slothfuness declare his claim
to it forfeited, and the employer may then re-as-
sign the plat Of ground, with its growing crop, to
any industrious laborer who will cultivate it and
save it. AT the end of the year the crop pro-
duced is divided equally between tho employer
and tho employco-tho latter paying out of the
proceeds of Ills share tho account which he may
also, if hc wishes, take to his own account the
mule, plow, and other implements with which he
worked during the year, at the valuation price
agreed upon to be deducted from his-share OF the
cro2, or return them to the proprietor. The en-
poycr takes upon himself the selling and roallz-
ing tho value of the crop. and division of the
proceeds, without other Charge to the laborerss
than their proportionate charge OF the costs OF
shipments and the usual Charge.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of the 10th
inst remarks The position taken by Gen. Tilson,
the head Of the Frccdmcns Bureau III this State,
if negroes will not make contracts will make
contracts for them,' and what is better, compel
them to work, has had good effect. Those
freedmen inclined to be idle finding out that they
have got to work any way, are looking around for
something to do. We hope after the time General
Tilson has named for them to find places of en-
ployment has expired, that he will enforce his
order strictly. 1t will have very beneficial effect
npon the class it is intended for He will be slls-
tanned in such course by every right thinking
man.
We arc informed that the planters generally feel
much more sanSninc of being able to produce fair
crops than they did a few weeks ago, and wo do
most ardently hope they may not be disappointed.
Midsummer and early fall will bring the test and
it is going to require patience, forbcarancc, and
sound discretion and timely and judicious en-
couragcmcnt to weather the summer solstico,
when work drives and the SUN burns. We think
the result will he mixed. Probably Il good many
will fail partially, and some altogcther-so much
will depend OH good management. Ii the plant
ers can raise half a crop they will produce in
Georgia value this year somewhere between fifty
and hundred millions of dollars currency, which
will so far "to build up tho waste places" and
make n fast business.

PaIgrnve's Arabia.

A Young officer in the British Army, q first class
prize man, fresh from ono OF the Enghsh o9lVer-
sites where he was equauy ud;ea ioi
has plunged right into the hear 4of Arabia. ana
fished out new country, with 3 population OF
near a million and quarter OF lnhabltantsC
1,219,O00, as he reckons. That 1s to say, ne
has proved that region, twelve hundred
niles long. and eight or nino hundred broad,
which ali tho world had for ages agreed 70
consider o hopeless sandy desert, lnhapl:eu
by wandering Bedouins, contains nm INSIDE
country as largo almost as Franco, inhabited
by settled population of one of the finest races
Of mon to be met with. The Bedouins, he looks
upon with contempt as thievish, cowardly ana un-
civilized, and by no means representing the true
md pure Arab race, or else they have gre atiy oe
generated and picked up some low habits m tnel:
wanderings. Certain it is, that Mohamcdanlsm
has not lost all thnt sort Of power with whlch II
once inspired the people who held it in Arabia, as
well as elsewhere, and these moro settled races In
the fertile lands Of the interior seem never to have
been altogether reached and subdued either by
Christianity or Mohaincdanism 80 that many OF
them still continue to worship the Sun, as did their
ancestors, probably from long before tho time OF
Abraham.
Two things have contributed to isolate them
from the rest of the wor They have not single
river that anywhere to the sea; their streams
all sink into the sand. Hence navlgatlon, tnat
great source, not only Of wealth, but or inter
course, has been cut from between them and the
outside world. In tho next place, they aro suI-
rounded, absolutely and on every side, by sandy
desert of the most formidable character. Nejed
Kasscm and Djobcl Shomer form ono Of the most
delightful regions Of Asia, and also ono Of the
most fertile. They are elevated plateaus. The
climate il cool and invisoratins. The streams
enable them to irrigato tho fields. Bat above tho
fertile cultivated regions rise up precipitous chalk
cliffs, five six hundred feot, and then como ta-
bic lands covered with grass where multitudes OF
tho very finest hosres are raised. Then other
rocks of limestone, and then othor table fands,
and so again until at last granite ridges crop
through. The higher you go, tho less fertile the
land, and the less water, especially in autumn.
In fact, Mr.. Palgravo adniires tho settled popu-
Iation very much moro highly than the Bedouin
in every respect. His horses are as much superi-
or to all other Arabian horses as they are to the
common herd. Upon tho camel, tine Bcdouins
servant, he looks with about as much contempt as
upon tho Bedouin himself. Ho is stupid, reyengo-
full, incapable of being attached by Kindness, and
only useful because ho possesses SO little know
ledge.
