sEcEssroN ys. REcoNsTUCTIoE.

The citizens of this vicinity will scarcely fail 10
remember one Col. W. N BILBo, who came from
Tennessee in 1860 to urge the people of South
Carolina not to alter or swerve in their purpose of
secession. His eloquence and brilliant oratory
were somewhat overshadowed by his course during
the war, and we might narrate some interesting
passages in the life of this modern Demosthenes,
such as attempting to run the blockade Of the Po-
tomac and throwing himself into the arms Of the
enemy. But We do not propose to detain the read
er from the perusal of the annexed paragraph,
which shows conclusiyely TO what extent this Iam-
pant and violent secessonist has been reconstruc-
ted. Comment is totally unnecessary before this
community. We copy from the Atlanta intelliga,-
Ger:
Col. W. N. Bilbo, of Nashville was advertised
i'll the Press and Times Of Tuesday to ''address our
colored citizens and others, the Hall of Repre-
sentatives, Wednesday evening. on the political
questions of theday." Since his enfranchisement
by the Tennessee Legislature, the negro is becom-
ing power in that State and is receiving unre-
hitting and amiable attentions Mt the hands OF
those who want to '.vote him." The "colored cuss'
gains but little by his freedom, if he is to fall into
che embraces of the political hacks and grubs with
which the land is at present infested.

THE CULTURE OF RICE.

We invite attention to an able and instructive
article upon this subject, from the pen of DR.. o.
R. BRoYLEs, and which will be found upon the
fourth page of this issue. The valued experience
Of the Doctor, and his extensive reputation rs an
agricultural writer, will command for this paper
general perusal The letter is addressed to A. F.
LEWIS, Esq, and is published at the request of the
Pendleton Agricultural Society.
Now that our honored friend has broken long
silence, and allowed himself to appear in print
cnce more, we sincerely trust that his pen will not
remain idle, and that the Intellysacer may be the
medium of presenting his views and experience to
the farmers of this section. We shall cheerfully
accord him space on every occasion.

RETURN DAY,

The fears and anxietes of many doubtless de-
parted with the waning hours of Saturday last,
and the mind of the poor debtor relieved when it
was ascertained that so few of Sheriff McGuKIN's $
"valentines' were in vogue. The result shows
Sum. Pros, 270; Writs, 1Sl. Total, 40l In Oc-
tober, 1860, there we're 149 Writs and 1872 Sum-
Pros. returned, making 391. The contrast is fa-
vorable, when we consider that more than five
years have elapsed since the law was allowed un-
restricted sway.
In this connection, we beg leave to offer the foF-
lowing paragraph from the Greenville Mountaineer,
and commend its Aattering allusion to the consd-
GRAFTON of such Us are disposed to- disturb the
harmony and good feeling now prevailing, But
ne must assure the writer that whilo the lawyers
were quietly occupying their Offices, they render
ed wholesome service in their efforts to dssuade
many from the disposition to produce greater dis
tress and litigation Let our people, one and all,
remember that others have praised their conduct
at this time and it is essential that they prove
themselves worthy of that praise hereafter:
In these days of excessive litigation ii is re-
freshing to learn that there is at least one commu-
nifty where there is comparatively little suing. We
learn from friend that this is the case at Ander-
derson.. There have been only about one'hundred
and thirty cases entered there thus far and appa-
rently there is little disposition to enter MORE The
Sheriff and Clerk are represented as louncinp in
front of the Court House, and the LAWYERS are sit.
ting in their Offices enjoying their otun cum d;oni
tate. All honor to Anderson her people have
shown themselves worthy of oil commendation.
