'PHILIp SOBER TO PHILIP DRuEK.r-We

the ''credit'' we give it, for the following obit-

that gentleman, we are happy to say, is alive
and improving, we naturally conclude the

can we account for such a mistake en- the part

TO the Farmers Of the Valley.

The undersigned appeals in behalf of the
starving people of South Carelina--his native
Statc-to the farmers and all other persons
having corn for sale in the Valley and the adj
iacent country, to sell and deliver to him their
surplus corn at the earlies practicable moment.
1t is imperitively necessary that corn should
be gotten to these pcopleat once In order that
they may be saved from actual starvation, as
they failed almost entirely in corn crop them
selves and supplies from other sources are cut
off by the almost unprecedented condition Of
country roads and the interruption of Rail-
road communication by the washing away of
bridges, &C.
This appeal Is not for contributions: Iprc-
pose to pay the market price in cash upon the
delivery of the corn, and will hope that a
humane people will not horde up the neccssa-
RIGS Of life from their furnishing countrymcn.
Much good may be done hy the immediate de-
livery of so bushels by each farmer, if he
cannot deliver more.
