NTHE FAMINE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. =
The Southern Famine Relief Com
mission Of New York have received
many letters from South Carolina, all
of which agree in representing the
scarcity of provisions in that State as
being of the most serious character.
1t extends over nearly the whole
State, and unless relief be quickly
given, nothing, it is stated, can pre-
vent absolute starvation among the
poorer classes, while a large number
of the planters and farmers Will be
left without seed for the next crop.
The New York Post says:
Gov Orr writes that the destitution
IS so great and severe that 100000
bushels of corn are estimated to be
needed to feed the people, over and
above all that can be obtained within
the State. Col VIM Nettles, q gen
tleman Of high standing in Sumter
District, has been in this city with q
bond signed by about seventy-fve
planters, in which they pledge their
next cotton crop us security for about
$40, 900 worth of corn and bacon. He
could find no one to take his bond,
and has left the city, after obtaining
1000 bushels Of corn from the Com
mission for the relief of the very poor
of his District, saying that unless he
could find some persons in some other
city to make the necessary advances,
he did not see how it would be posi-
bic for the planters of Sumter District
to put in their seed the present sea-
son.
A similar statement comes from the
most prominent men in Lancaster
District, of the same State, who offer
to mortgage their real estate as Sc
curity for the corn and bacon needed
to supply the wants of the people
until another harvest can be gather
ed in.
Representations of the same cha
racter come from Richland, Green
vile, Darlington and Greenwood
Districts, and it is believed that at
least 100000 people-one-quarter of
the population of the whole State Of
South Carolina-are now in absolute
need Of provisions, and, if relief is
not given, the number must increase
every week until July.

Interesting from Liberia.

The ship Golconda has returned
from Liberia. The following are ex-
tracts from accounts she brings:
Outward, she had q quick and plea
SAINT run, and landed, her passengers
in good health and spirits, except
four, who died on the passage. Of
these, two were infants, q young wo-
man, and Rev Alfred Alberts, of
Newberry, South Carolina, worthy
minister of the Methodist Church,
who died instantly from apoplexy the
very morning after the ship left
Charleston.
Rev. John Seys, who was passen-
ger on the Golconda, was received
January 2, by President Warner, as
Minister Resident and Consul-Gene-
raj of the United States to that Go
vernment. The Vice President, Ca
binet, Judge Of the Supreme Court,
and the whole diplomatic corps were
IN attendance on this occasion.
The Legislature of Liberia adjourn
ed January s, after a session of five
weeks. Among the acts passed was
one increasing the grant of lands to
emigrants from this country to three
acres to single adult, and twenty
five acres to each family
The general election, to be held on
the first Tuesday in May next. for
President, Vice-President, Senators
and Representatives was receiving
considerable attention. Some of the
delegates to a convention about to
convene had waited upon President
Warner, and requested him to accept
third nomination for the honorable
position he now SO worthily and use
fully fills; but he declined, as he pre-
fers to retire to private life. Every
thing in Liberia appears to be in
state of Improvement. Commerce is
increasing.
Henry W. johnson, jr., who pro-
ceeded from Il BARRIERS shop, at Ca
nandaigua, New York, to the bar of
the Supreme Court of that State,
says, in letter dated at Monrovia,
where he is building up an extensive
practice: II intend to cultivate cof-
fee, cocoa, ginger, pepper, &c. /
have purchased lands on the banks of
the st. Paul's River, and will begin
to cultivate them as soon as / can at
tend to the business myself 1 can
do this and also practice law. Messrs.
Moore and Johnson, leading lawyers
of this city, are also farmers. NV
original impression is now strength
ed and confirmed, by experience and
observation, that the best interests of
the cmigrant requires that he should
rely chiefly upon the cultivation of
the soil to supply present wants and
secure future competency. -

The Clarksburg Telegraph has tenn
porarily suspended publication. The
editor hopes to resume publication
about the Sth of March next. The
Clarksburg Conservative says, irOnical-
ly of course, but truthTully neverthe-
less, that the Union men of Harrison
fought to be ashamed to let soable and
Jealous a champion die out" Wetrust
they will not let the paper remain sus-
pended.
The editor of the Buckhannon AdUO-
cate having called Morgantown the
Athens of West Virginia, the Clar ks
burg Conservative makes the point that
Athens was place wholly given to
idolatry," and that st. Paul found that
they worshipped every God there but
the true one. rHazI
"A rivalry has sprung up between
two sets of capitalists at Parkersburg.
The one set desires to lock and dam the
Little Kanawha for transportation pur-
poses, the other to bring the oil from
Burning Springs "to Oil Rock or
Standing Stone and, it may be, to the
kanawha," in tubes, which if success
full would, of course, cut down and rem
der Improbable transportation on the
river, and thus deter capitalists from
investing in the lock and dam enter
prises.
The editor of an interior paper who
has been at Wheeling a good deal OF
late, says that he has spent hours in
listening 10 the proceedings of the legis-
lature, and scanning heads and faces
in order DO make up u fair judgmentso OF
the intellectual calibre of each member,
and compare the body as whole with
like assemblies in previous years" He
thinks "that the present legislature is
superior 10 any that has yet assembled
in this State"
The Parkersburg Times pays its re-
spects to Flat Woods, the place desig-
mated by the Senate for the location of
the capital, as follows:
Happy Flat Woods! How we long
to inger in your classic shades which
have thus been rendered immortal by
the genius of the Senate. Thrice an
happy Flat Woods! that the House OF
Delegates have indefinitely postponed
the laurel crown of thy anticipated
glory! Hope on, most hopeful and jul
bilant Flat Woods; when the Little Ku-
nRwha Navigation Company shall have
built their locks and dams athwart thy
tangled underground, and tile damns OF
other people shall reverberate through
thy forests, until the BROWSING deer
shall flee before the terrors of approach,
ing enterprise. Hope on, hope ever
for the golden day when thy ambitious
dreams shall be realized"

ms pnnhandIe RaIIroad.

We incline to the opinion that our
brethren in the upper end of the Pan
handle feel somewhat discouraged in
regard to their railroad enterprise from
Holidays Cove down to this city.
There seems to be division of opin-
ion among them. We trust, however,
that they will not abandon the agita-
ton of the subject, but keep alive the
discussion that is now going on among
them. Whether the investment will
yield immediate returns Is matter
that we do not feel able to decide upon,
but that ultimately it will pay the gen.
eral public, we have no doubt whstev-
err. The whole business from this Sec
ton of country, to Pittsburgh and Phil
adeIPhia, will go over the road, and, in
addition, the interior of West Virginia
via the Baltimore road to this point,
will seek an outlet over the road. The
development ofcountry on this side of
the river will be OF incalculable benefit
to the farmers, and the subscriptions
that they are likely to make will be
more than repaid to them in that way
alone. The road is bound to be
built some day. We can all see its
necessities, while few can see its imme-
diate returns as n personal matter. a
very large region of both Pennsylvania
and West Virginia will be drained by
the road, and, in addition, the ferries at
Warren, weIlsburg, Steubenville, and
still higher up, will contribute to its
business. The condition of the river
for the last few weeks, frozen over and
unnavigabIe as it has been. affords an
argument for the speedy completion Of
some other mode of conveyance. Give
us this railroad, and our agricultural
commercial and manufacturing inter.
ests will be entirely independent of the
river. The days of boats have gone by
and the demand of the public is for safe
and reliable transportation by land al
all seasons of the year.
We know that farmers are proverbs
ally slow to see the advantages of G
railroad. Such has been the history o.
all enterprises of the kind. But moth.
ing has been more clearly demonstrated
than that they, of all classes, receive
the most certain and speedy benefits o
increased facilities for trade and travel
by reason ofthe enhanced value to theil
lands. We trust, therefore, tina
Brooke and Hancock counties will g
ahead with the project of the proposed
railroad that is some day or other t.
connect the Baltimore and Ohio RoaC
with the Panhandle Road at Steuben
Vile. The sooner it is accomplished
the sooner will our land be worth twice
or three times its present price.

Ihe baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Should be TRxes: as Other Property
individual Citizens.
Editors IRteUigencer:
We thank you for your timely and
friendly Intervention in behalf of a tax
ridden and deeply oppressed people.
what good reason can be assigned,
why this rich and soulless corporation
should not be compelled to pay the
same rate of taxation upon its property
that the individual citizen is made 10
pay upon his? We challenge its
strongest friends for n good and suf1i-
cient reason, why the tax should not
be uniform. It has heretofore shown
that its receipts have reached per
cent. upon the main road. The North
western road is separate and distinct
corporation, and cannot, legitimately,
be counted in the costs of construction
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The sophistry which the friends of this
road use to remit the Just dues and !GzeS
upon it, is an insult to the intelligence
and good sense of the Individual tax
payers of the State. Sirs, we pity those
of the members of our Legislature who
have not the patriotism and moral
courage to do their duty! What State in
the Union ever granted to a foreign
corporation, such privilege as that
given to this Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany? And what return have we the
people for it? Emphatically nothing,
save and except the complimentary
tickets" given to our public officials,
law makers and Judges, to ride over its
road free of charge.
This pernicious and corrupting prac-
tice should be put stop to at once, and
the member who will procure the pass
age of such u law, imposing the forfeit
ure of office on such recipient, will re-
ceive and be entitled to the lasting graf
itude of every honest man and tax
payer in the State. No true friend of
the State will vote to exonerate this rich
mammoth corporation of one cent of the
taxes due it. The e.rcuSe of some menu
beers for so doing, that our country has
been built up and improved by it, is the
merest balderdash. The same excuse
might be made to exonerate every good
citizen from payment of taxes who has
increased the value of his land by in
dustry, from 81 to SIS per acre. We
want no unjust discrimination for or
against this corporation. All we ask is
even handed justice. We don't propose
any retaliatory measure for its unjust
and discriminate eXaction as respects
our people. We propose nothing but
the constitutional test in the imposition
of taxes upon the property of this COM
pany, and require nothing more than
the enforcement of the law of the case,
