Through q private letter to the Contributing
Editor vri,ton by B. F. CARPENTER from Ale1an-
dria, Louisiana, on the 10th day Of November, We
are enabled to announce to their many friends in
this District the safe arrival at that point Of HAP
TON sroxz, and the largo party Of emigrants that
accompanied him. Mr.. CARPENTER writes: "Coualn
HAMPTON STONE and party left here on Wednesday
noon-1aO miles from here to Jasper, Texas
They will arrive home next Monday Have had
the best of luck since We loft Anderson-but three
showers fell on us during the whole journey. Our
progress through the Mississippi swamp was equal
to the Pike road-somc difficulty in getting water
forage and provisions easily procured at rea-
sonable prices-avorage price of corn Sl.So per
bushel." We ore obliged to our friend for his let
ter, and copy of the Alexandria Democrat; and
wish him and the entire party health, prosperity
and contentment, in their Western home.

cTN HOUSE BURNED.

We regret to learn that the Cotton Gin Of our
friend. Ms;er ANDREW HAMILTON, was burned
down at his residence near Williamson, on tho
l7th Instant causing the loss Of some six bales of
cotton. The loss is total, as there was no insu-
rance upon the house or cotton. A negro boy
was burned up with the house. 1t occurred early
ID the day, and seems to have resulted from the
.eacelrssness or imprudence of two negro boys,
s,5hioh cost The he of one Of them Major HAM
asGsos: hafocrssien to leave the Clubhouse and go
TO hisdwsliiag house, and ordered the negro boys
10 pack down the cotton in the lint-rocm dming
shis absencs. One of them is known to have had
zaatcEss upcn his person that morning, and as
hsy were in the habit Of playing hide-and-seek in
tie Hnt-room, Il is supposed that one of them
lighted d match to look for the other, and thus
originated the FIRE. -

ExpEcrEp METEoR1c sHowER.

| Astronomers having announced that q rehearsal
of tho great meteoric shower of 1888, might be ex
pected to come off between the 18th and 18th Of
| of November, there were number of anxious STAR
cazcrs in this community for several nights. But
they gazed to no purpose, as the shower predicted
by astronomers did not appear to the ''unrecon-
structcd;' ~ only stray @rolite Of such size and
lustre as may be seen On any clear night were OBJ
served Northern papers, however, state The uni
versal Yankee nation have been moro Fortunate
At New Haven, Connecticut Professor Newton,
counted six hundred and ninety-six shooting stars
in FIVE hours and twenty minutes, on the night of
the 18th instant. The average for the whole time
was one hundred and thirty to the hour.
On the same night at Chicago, the shower was a
disappointment to the scientific and to the curious
Professor STAFFORD counted only one hundred and
fifty.
At Boston large numbers of meteors were OBJ
served at 2.3O on the 18th instant supposed to be
the precursor of the shower.
| In New York, on the night of the 18th, only two
or three greeted the vision of the expectant Gotha-
mites till about three in the morning. From that
hour until the early uaWu, ihe metcoio inSAeooSo
| in numbers and brilliancy.
At Troy, New York there was brilliant display
| of meteors on fhe morning of the 14th
From the observations made the United States
National Observatory, Washington city, we pub
lish the following interesting account; .
The regular observations commenced at II P
NJ. and continued, until Al o'clock this morning
AT first the meteors were small and very few in
number; but as the night progressed they gradu-
ally increased, and by 8 o'clock quite shower had
set in. the meteors coming at the rate Of about
three in .one minute, and, as the average fall is
about so per hour, it will be seen that this was
more than an ordinary shower. At first, contrary
TO the prediction, the meteors radiated from the
constellation Orion, but as they got more numer-
GUS, by far the greater number radiated from Leo,
which was according to previous calculation
Several large msteors were observed, and the time
of their appearance carefully recorded by Professor
Ferguson and Professor Eastman, who had charge
of the chronometer, which WAS kept In the dome.
The division of the heavens was such that there
was no chance of duplication in the meteors OBJ
served, aud it is far more likely that the number
is underestimated than otherwise. The number Of
meteors observed was 407, being at the rate OF 81
per hour, which is ten times the number seen on
an ordinary night.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

r
In alluding to the re-opening Of the; regular.
Courts, the New Orleans Times says: 'sWe are sur
prised to learn that litigation is not so promising
as was expected. People do not appear as iitgi0us
as the recent disasters and troubles led many to-
imagine would be the case. Compromises and
friendly agreements appear to be the order OF the
day. and bear and forbear' to be the general rule
of creditors" The creditors Of New Orleans have
set On example, which we hope creditors will every
where emulate. While We have deprecated the IN
terposition of the law between the creditor and
debtor, We have equally deprecated the attempt at
this time, to COLLECT debts by process Of law. We
do not believe that creditors disposed to force
collections-ve are all brothers in nmisfortune and
VIC believe that creditors here, as in New Orleans,
sympathise with their unfortunate brcthrenj and
are disposed to bear and forbear. We saw this
beautifully illustrated at Anderson the other day
farmer who had just sold q load Of cotton, step
ped into the store of merchant whom he owed
large account of long standing, and laying down o
ten dollar bill, askedthe merchant, 'Will that do
eyes sir, it is plenty" replied the merchant,
'.just pay me that sum every year until your ac-
count is settled, and will be perfectly satisfied"
We trust that this same spirit will pervade every
class Of the community. 1t has been bad crop
year and people are not able to pay much, but let
the debtor pay little, and the creditor receive
little, both in the spirit of Kindness and the old
feeling of confidence and ncighborly accommoda-
tion will soon be revived. Hope, Faith and Charity
the greatest of these is charity.

WALHALLA, Nov. 25, 1856.
Mr. Editor Whilst we Of the Southern States
have every reason to congratulate ourselves upon
the kindness and magnanimity of the Federal
Government in extending to us the rights and
privileges accorded TO US by our own State laws,
and while, at the same time, in all due humility,
we are endeavoring to submit ourselves to the ex-
genoies of the times, we think it but place
on record every instance Of the kind assistance
which is afforded to Us by Federal authority to
sustain our State laws and the decrees Of our con-
querors. ~ -
few days since our peaceful town was visited
by detachment Of United States Cavalry. OF
course we were all anxiety to learn the object Of
their visit. Nothing official, however, transpired,
but ne have every reason to believe that their OBJ
jeot was the arrest Of one Of the most prominent
citizens Of South Carolina, for the expression Of
seditious and rebel sentiments, uttered by him in
speech delivered some three months since, at o
public meeting at this place, which was largely at
| tended By citizens Of this District. The move
ments of this gentleman have been by no means
kept secret and should the authorities be desirous
of finding him, we should think they would have
no odifRculty in doing SO. They may also find hun
dreds in this District who sympathize in every
| word which he spoke on that occasion. set.
During the stay of this gallant band in Walhal
10, some of their number Eve Know not whether
officers or privates) committed wanton and un
provoked attack upon two young girls, of a mos
respectable family. We would be glad to be in
formed if this detachment are part Of the troops
formerly commanded by the distinguished Gene
raj, B. F. Butler, whose boast it was to bring wo
men to their knees If SO, we would like to b.
notified of my further visits from them, that W
may keep our females at home, and hide ou
spoons" A sUBJCGATED REBEL. (.

SOUND. VIEWS.

We,do not pretend to be much Of an agricultur-
aiist though our educaton commenced in the ''old
plantation and We took lessons in ditching dur
ing the late war. under those grand masters BEAU
REGARD, JOHNSTON, LEE and LoNosrnEEr. But
we take tho liberty to call the attention Of our
farmers to the following very sensible suggestions
from the Montgomery Advertiser: a,.a-
Would not given number Of acres planted in
wheat yield more profit, to the planter than the
same number in cotton considering the cost of The
production of each. Wheat would only have to be
planted, reaped and harvested; to accomplish oil
of which laborers could be called in at will, in
stead of hiring them all the year. Cotton has to be
plowed, hoed and carefully watched from the time
tits planted until ready for market, which involves
the necessity of hiring regular laborers oil the
year round
Would it not be better economy to put in good
breadth of rye for feeding stock in the latter part
Hof winter and early spring, than to half starve
them, or buy so much western corn and hay
Would not "a small number of acres planted in
cotton properly thoroughly fertilized and cultiva
ted yield more profit than double the number not
artifcially fertilized and thoroughly cultivated
We think it would, with the additional advantage
Of requiring but one-haf the amount of labor
We think these plans are worthy of considers
ton 1t would cost less to buy fertilizers than to
hire double force of labor in order to produce
given quantity, to say nothing of the surplus land
upon which tax has to be paid, and which might
be sold off to other farmers.
