Mr.. John W. Jacobs, near Switzer's S

cumference, and nearly six inches in cir
cumfcrencc at the small end.

:. Attention is called to the advertise
ment-of Messrs: Carwile & Mclaughlin
IN this issue; they offer to the farmers
100 Tons Genuine Peruvian Guano.
This is an important matter to eur farm
ers, as great deal Of Guano sold for
genuine isaduIterated in the hands Of
dealers. We.are glad to see so much at
tention being paid to this article, as our
people must enrich their lands to enable
then, to plant successfully With free labor.

They are also prepared to make lib
eral cash, advances on cotton, consigned

Messrs. Geo. ". Williams & Co., of Char

reliable firms in the country: It is a
very important matter TO- the merchant
and the planter, and 10 fac, to the whole
community, That there,is an abundance
Of capital at the disposal Of those who
are disposed 70 operate in cotton or other
produce 1t should create competition
and make this one Of the(best markets in

lof mouey. to move cotton: crop, but we
feel assured there, will bean. abundance
here, and hope that our merchants and
farmers viii encourage those who offer
the facilities for moving the crop, for if
they are not encouraged, as stnatter of
course, their capital will seek some other
points for investments, and we may be
left like some other of our up-country
towns, without capital sufficient to move
the cotton crop:
,We,nust build up the business of our
town by encouraging every enterprise
that is calculated to improve our lands
and bring capital into: our community,
and in doing so you add wealth not only
to our town but to the whole district.

Mr.. EDITOR: The interest manifested
in "The Christian Neighbor," for which
Lam much indebted to you, prompts me
to say to the friends of the enterprise
The Christian Neighbor will pay them
visit sooner or later. Assurances su6i-
cient to forbid failure may not be OBJ
tanned before the ensuing year. Wait
and work. The price will be. Two DOL
LARS year. Payable on the reception
Of the FIRST number. Persons who send
ten subscribers will receive" the elevs
enth copy gratis for one year.
As It. is my purpose to make The
Christian Neighbor an institution, that
,cautiousness which is necessary to safe
ty and perpetuity may mark the begin
ming as fitted to "the day Of small things" "
persons who purpose becoming subscri-
bers win do we'll to begin with the first
number. Those who desire to speak
in perpetual good to the poor, even after
death, can secure the privilege by en-
dowuent. To-day, this isa broad chai.
lenge to trust in man.. The existence of
the enterprise will not depend on endow-
ment. Thisis but an offer to the friends
of peace, after the worse than pro6tless
sacrifices in war, to invest some: ofwhat
remains in the publishing Of peace to the
poor. Very truly, .

A LUMINOUS IDEA.-One of the CORES
pondents of the Cincinnati Commercial
is filed with an original idea so brilliant
that the editor makes haste to make
room for the communication in which he
embodies his discovery as follows;
OpIN ILLINoIs,O August IA, 1857.
To THE EDITORS OF THE COMMERCIAL {:
Herewith I enclose you plan where.
by Edwin N. Stanton may become Presi-
dent of the United States. Such bit of
justice would thrill the heart of every
loyal man throughout the land. Let
Cameron resign g; let the Governor Of
Pennsylvania appoint Stanton to fill the
vacancy. Wade can resign his position
in the Senate. Elect Stanton presiding
officer. The House can present i'm
peachment papers against johnson. Let
the Senate oust him-Stanton becomes
President, Cameron can be re-arpointed,
and Wade reelected as presiding officer
of the Senate. Justice is satis6ed-the
nation triumphant "

CoasEspoNDsNcE.-T following ad.
ditienal correspondence from the village
has, been received:
:, MoUNT PLEASANT, August 2S.-ln my
former acceuatl did not state, nor did1
kRow at the lime that Aaron Logan, the
unruly negro on the Registration Board,c
had been locked up for safe-keeping.
This morning, the crowd of'newly fedged
citizens was larger than yesterday,
large number carrying firearms. Their
conduct was very boisterous and threat.
eniDg. l heard one fellow say that the
white people only wanted to fool and
bfindfold them, and that they must fight
it out, that the whites could not kill
many Of them. Some white gentlemen
had their names entered, only a few ne
groes registered, the rest all Reused,
many swearing that not a man should
register until Logan, was. returned on
the Board. This man Logan, it is said,
was appointed ON the Recommendation Of
Passoa French, ho represented him to
be avery pious. Christian-Hke man, and.
eminently qualified as registrar. :, His
piety was not evinced here yesterday, as
he was very profane. About one O'Clock,
the negroes had all left the village for
their respective homes, =. - .
~MorST PLEASANT, August ,29.-This
morning, a large crowd of negroes were
on hand, but no arms were seen in the.
vitlsge.; it having leaked ont, by some
means, that General CHtz would be here
with regulars, runners were sent out by
the village darkeys informing their coun-
try brethren of the fact, and that they
should not briug their firearms or they
would be arrested and disarmed. This
accounts for the absence of arms to-day.
With theten o'clock boat came General
Gitz and Scott, and fine squad of reg
ulars. Both the Generals addressed the
negroes, which had salutary effect, and,
they then commenced registering freely.
They we're told that their demands for
Logan would not be complied with, that
they might do as they pleased, register
or not. must say, Generals Clitz and
Scott, have the best wishes Of our people
for the proper performance of their duty,
and the preservation, or rather restora-
tion of good order. I hope this will be
the last trouble here-Char Mercury.
