REL1EF.-The Rome Courier recommends
that the law be enacted similar to one in
Kentucky, whereby all real estate levied on
under execution shall. previous to sale, be
appraised-perhaps the price at which 1t was
given in on the tax books of lo6O would
answer-and unless two-thirds OF this price,
or more, shall be bid for the property. at the
sale-the creditors having the privilege OF
taking it at that price, If ne chooSes-tne
sale shall be barred, and the properly be

favor Of the same creditor, for the space of,

law allowing a debtor the right of redemp-

- The GOLD PREMIUM.-F The gold premium
has fallen to forty-three or four When it
was at ffty>six and halt, few weeks ago.
importers and brokers of New York urged
Upon the Treasury the policy of selling the
surplus, over $50. 600 900, for the purpose of
.tavoring importation. But gold has fallen
and imports increased by the demand abroad
for our Government securities, and the im>
portation of gold from Europe and large
supplies also from California.
At the present rate of importationS, the
Treasury will, by the 1st of January next,
possess, $50, 900, 200 in gold, after deducting
all the sum required, in the meantime, for
the payment of interest on gold>oearing
bonds. SIC, 900, 900 of the $4,000. 600 to be
paid for interest will go to foreign bond"
holders. The question is asked, whether the
Secretary of the Treasury will suffer the
amount of gold to be augmented in the
Government vaults, in view of some plan for
q return by degrees to specie payments or
sell It at market rates? His course, in this
respect, will undoubtedly be dictated by
Congress, and that body will tolerate no
measures looking towards a specie standard.

rously against being compelled to pay for
telegraph dispatches from New>York City,
stating that the Herald had pronounced
President Johnson'S plan failure, and gone

says:
~ 1--WE do not care what the New<York Herr

Because the Herald may be paid to change
its political opinions, and prophecy good
or e7il to the side which has the heaviest
purse and makes the most liberal use of it,,
is not reason sufficient that the press OF the
country should have to pay contribution IN
order to receive the information"
There are foolish men enough at the South
who buy the Herald-Which bounded the
South into war, deserted them when they
had got in, and, now the war is over, laborS
daily to keep the Southern States out of the
- Union-to Justify the sending of the item as

agent cannot be blamed. When no Heralds
are taken at the South, the Associated Press
agent will never dream Of sending such an
item. --..

LAURENS DISTRICT, 29tn Sept. 1000.
Messrs Editors: Perhaps no subject would in
terest majority Of your readers more, at the
present time, than that Of revival of religion.
I seId you hastily-Written sketch OF the min
listers and meeting which closed yesterday, at
Fair View Church, Newferry District. This
church has been supplied, since its organization,
about seven years, by the young and gltted W.
D. Mayfeld, whose labors have been abundantly
blessed. He was assisted by the venerable Toll
yer Robertson, we'll known throughout the
Reedy River Association, and by a Weli>spent
life of fover 40 years in the ministry His labor5
have been abundantly blessed. We could not
listen to the preaching of this good man un-
moved. His is the simple, earnest eloquence OF a
mind and heart filled with divine Influences. he
displays no acquaintance with the subtletles OF
philosophy, the polish of rhetoric and the gifts
of erudition but like the apostles Peter andJ ohn
has an heroic faith and love that constralnetn
to laborious duties in the Masters vineyard. =
Elder J. K. Mendenhall, of your district, was
also present, during the meeting, and we hope
that he will pardon US for alluding to his sermon
on Thursday evening, from the text found in
Hebrews, I'd chap, part of Sd Y: elbow shall
we escape if we neglect so great salvation" 1t
has been our good fortune to listen to some OF
the ablest divines in America, Thornwell Bishop
Andrews and Wightman, Fuller, the Furmans
and others, but we are not aware of ever hearing
a more powerful and mastery effort. It's publ
cation through your columns could not fail OF
efecting good.
The meeting closed Friday evening. A deep
solemnity perYaded the congregation. Eleven
were baptized, and others awaiting baptism. We
were truly glad to hear that this church was ten
dered by its, pastor and members to the Luthe'
ran brethren who contemplate commencing a
union meeting, on Saturday before the second
Sabbath in November next, and we understand
it is the intention Of the Lutheran minister to
cordially invite ali orthodox denominations to
ioin in this meeting, and may God bless their
labors. W. ". ".

MURDER ON The RACE TRACE. .-CHIcA>
GO, September PA trot between the
horses General Butler and Cooley came off
on on Saturday, the race being the three best
heats in five, for $3,OO8. The first and
second heats were won by Cooley, the third
and, fourth by Batter, ali after close strug-
.eles. Owing to delays caused by quarrel
5ng between the Jockeys, it became dark
before the fifth heat was run, and the judges
could not see the horse. Butler came in
without a driver, and on search he was found
on the track with his head split open. The
driver OF Cooley was arrested on suspicion OF
,nnrderinr him. The race was undecided.
The driver of Butler was also his owner.

A MOTTO FOR THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT.
The cornerstone of the Douglas monn>
ment having now been laid, the New York
Day Book suggests the following as most
appropriate motto to be placed upon it:
's'I hold that this Government was made
on the white basis by white men, for the
benefit Of white men and their posterlty
forever; and should be administered by white
men and none others. I do not believe that
the Almighty made the negro capable OF
self>goVernment," ,n,,

Stephen A. Douglas ever uttered, and they

S4LEs-DAY.-Like its predecessors came
on Monday, and Notwithstanding the threats
ening appearance of the weather very large
number of people were cn hand, drawn to-
gether by the usual attractions of land sales,
furniture and other sales, the hope OF hears
ing or seeing something good, bad or in
different, and few for the purpose Of
spiritual refreshment. From limited obSerVa-
ton we believe that all parties were grathed,
but as our attention was almost wholly en-
crossed in keeping up with few cratic in
diYiduals, who ought to have called on US,
and not with the general crowd, perhaps we
are in error. Sales were very spirited, bids
active, and judging from the signs, money
must be abundant; about 5000 acres, IN
parcels, were sold at from $3 to S14.p per acre.
Other sales were equally as good, and there
being no lack of buyers all species Of pro-
perty offered were disposed Of. About
/. O'Clock, after business, the increase OF
human sound gave token that the old vets
and young recruits were charging, and loaded
to the muzzle, but other than making an
undue noise, no harm was done to any but
themselves. Batteries Bourbon and Rye,
both strong Notifications were assaulted
fiercely from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m, but the
inyincibility of the spirits which met these
attacks were in every instance victorious.
A few weak shots were fired about sundown,
when night put an end to the scene. 49,
