was surrounded by an unatractive board fence.

but as business has gradually crept westward, fol-

Presidents Message.

President JOHNSON, in response to the
Senate resolution asking why Jefferson Davis
is not yet tried, transmitted message cnclos-
ing letter from Attorney General Speed, who
states that no Circuit Court has been held in
the late rebellious districts since the tcrmina-
tion of hostilities and holds the opinion that
the late insurgents waiting trial. should be
tried only before the civil courts when fully
and actually restored; and he has not, there
fore, thought proper to advise the President
to cause criminal proceedings to be instituted
against Davis or any other insurgent in the
States or districts in which they were not ac-
tually present during the prosecution of hos
tilities

COMPROMISE.

Now, that the Legislature has hoisted the
flood-gate of the collection laws, it is neccssa-
ry that something be done, and that prompt
.ly. We take it for granted that many, very
many, of our heretofore most wealthy people,
are broke financially ruined. And this, too,
without any fault of theirs. The rude hand
of war has torn their property from their grasp,
and they are now unable to make good their
Indebtedness What is best to be done?
Reputation is not countenanccd by the
State, hence an effort to pay must be made
Since the close of the war. Northern creditors
have been compromising with their Southern
debtors at from ten to fifty per cent on the
amounts due them Why cannot creditors,
at home, show the same libcrality as creditors
abroad? If the debtor has failed, is it not
the part of wisdom to accept what you can get !?
Will the bankrupt, who has been large pro-
perty holder, make your money hereafter? |?
Never! never
We suggest out of many one mode of set
tlement: Let the debtor make an assignment
of all his property, for the benefit Of his cred
itors; and let his creditors accept that assign
mcnt in payment of all their demands The
country is too thoroughly ruined to discharge
its obligations, hence some measure of reliefis
absolutely necessary. Let all be just and lib
eral, and we shall have an agreeable solution
of the matter, and speedy return to rca-
sonable prosperity.

Our Sources of Income.

The exhausting war through which we have
passed has almost entirely destroyed our for
mer sources Of income. The future, dark as
it may appear, must be fathomcd We must
have money-our sources Of income must be
opened up anew How can this be done?
Only by the following means:
l. BY the sale Of the surplus productions
of the SOIL
z. BY the sale, TO cmigrants and others, Of
such portions of our real estate, as we have no
Immediate or even remote use for.
3. BY the process of manufacturing, and
the sale of manufactured products.
We are unable to see from what other sour
ces our future income is to be derived. We
must, to effect this, lower our prices on real
estate. Those who have the means can find
better lands at lower rates in the devastated
regions Of Virginia, North Carolina, and the
lower portions of this State
Manufacturing, in this section, is in it's III
fancy; therefore, little or nothing can be reck-
oncd from this source
We should, by energy and industry, in
crease in every way the present year. the pro-
duction Of the soil; thereby increasing our
surplus for sale, and adding to our other real
sources Of income.

First National Bank of Attica, stands as high

ever presented a more dull and unntcrestiny

vor of an improvement. TWAS expected that
the people of the South would be here in full
force, knocking for admission to the doors of
Congress, and thronging the lobbies as in days
of yore; yet there is very little of cxaggera-

to find South Carolnian or an Albanian
