1t has been well observed by ca able writer
that ''lhere is no quality of ihe mind more
graceful in itself, or that renders it more
amiablc to others, than the having tender re-
gard to those who arc in distress. When the
innocent fail into misfortune, it is the part of a
generous, brave spirit to contribute to their
redemption; or if that be impossible, to ad-
minister something to their comfort and sup
port. But when wicked men, who have been
depredatinS upon the community, are cntrap-
ped by their own pernicous acts, lie that labo1s
to deliver them makes himself an associate in
their crimes, and becomes as great an enemy
to the public Us those whom he would screen

TO THE EDIIoR OF THE NEWS:
SIR: In your issue Of the 26th instant, in
your correspondence from the Capital, notice
an attack on my integrity as al Official Of tue
State 1t is asserted. first, that have been
engaged in spsculatng in the per diem and
mileage Of members Of tho Legislature /; sec
ond, that have charged officers commission
on their salaries; and third, that have paid
the draft Of the Sergeant-at-arms OF the Honsf
signed by the Speaker only, and without the
signature Of the President OF the Senate, as re-
quired by law.
The first end second charges are unmitigated
calumnies, pure fabrications with no founda-
ton whatever save in the inventive imagina-
tion Of your correspondent.
The third charge, withi.s mean inslnuaton
OF fraud on my part. is malicious perversion
of facts. Its true that the draft Of the Ser
geant-at-arn ms Of the House on the Treasurer
was signed by the Speaker only, and why
Simply because the law required no other sig
nature than his, each House acting indepen-
IDENTIFY OF the other in drawing money for the
payment OF its members.
I fear no investigation Of my official acts by
the proper authorities, nor any just criticism
by the public press.
Yours truly,

THE WEArRER.-It rained in torrents the
greater part Of Saturday and yesterday, and
during Saturday night the wind was lowing q
gale from the northeast. This is, we presume,
the expected equinoctial storm, and the sooner
over tho better. No great harm has been done
in the city. Some fences were blown down.
which had for q long time wanted an excuse for
falling: some trees were dlsmembered, per-
hsps to provide frewood for the winter In
several stfoets the drains are choked and the

Our telegraphic dispatches show that the
storm is general throughout the country, and
it is believed that there has been considerable

A PIONEER PoNoLoaIsT.-A two years
ago alr Derby, the wellknown New York pub
Usher, purchased fruit farm at Aiken, S. c +,
the property of Mr.. Marley, for S12000 or
SIS, 900. Nj. Derby moved his family to tho
iarm, and went vigorously to work 10 make his
investment productive. At first there were
many difficulties to overcome, but Mr.. Derby
persevered, and we are assured that his profit
has averaged $500 per month during the whole
period of his possession. This handsome in
come was derived from the sale Of peaches,
apples and grapes-the last having turned out
to be very profitable. There is still much to
be done in the way of securing proper accom-
modation and quick steamship passage to the
Northern cities before the fruit trade can
reach its most remunerative point; but it is
estimated That in good year, with fair ship
ping facilities, the crop Of Mr.. Derby's farm
will sell for at least s12,C00.
In addition to securing so sound and valua-
bic an investment, Mr.. Derby has recruited his
health, which WAS delicate. andis now said to
be of the opinion that Aiken is the healthiest
place on this continent, and may be made cne
of the most prosperous.
The gentleman whom we have mentioned
was not practical farmer. Nor had ho any
experience in pomology. But he was an intel
ligent man of business, and gave the trees
OF old Aiken an opportunity Of doing their
very best. The success Which Mr.. Derby has
met with will, we hope, stimulate others 10 fol-
low his example. Industrious, hard-workins
men could soon make the face of the country
smile like garden: and none could do it bet
ter, aud moro to their own advantage, than
some OF our steady, thrifty Germans, who
have the knack of making money machine of
every undertaking to Which they put their
hands.

TIE WINCHESTER REPEATING RIFLE.-We had
the pleasure of examining one of these rifles
on Saturday, and were astonishcd at its per-
formance, as we did not think it possible that
rifle could be made so effective and at the same
time so simple in it's construction. This rifle
carries eighteen charges, which can be fired IN
nine seconds, or at the rate Of two shots per
second, commencing with the magazine tull.
1t can also be fred as single brcech loader
twenty times per minute, having at the samo
time in reserve at the magazine sixteen
charges which can be fred when IN close quar-
ters at tho rate Of two shots per second. In
case Of cartridge missing fire, it is Withdrawn
from the barrel with unfailing certainty, and
another can be placed in its stead and fired in
just half second, giving this arm an sdyan-
tage over all others, which cannot BIZ too high.
recommended, especially for those travelling
through or living in country where they arc
likely to be troubled by robbers, as one man
armed With one Of these rifles is equal to ten
armed men with ordinary guns. It takes but
three motions to load and fire it as repeater,
and four as single breech loader, which is
degree of simplicity never yet attained by any
other rifle, either in this country or in Europe.

RISE IN CoAL.-The auction coal sales IN
New York last Thursday show rise OF 81 per
ton and over. This, it is stated, comes from
two causes: the necessary high cost OF railroad
transportation, and the scarcity OF shipping to
: transnort coal.
