CORRESPONDENTS.

Mr. EDITOR: There exists class Of indi-
viduals in most communities who consider
themselves in daty bound to always oppose
whatever measure or institution comes from
the Government for no other reason but the
fact Of its emaBating from that source To
satisfy them would be hopeless task: they
are only satisfied with their own beloved
selves Whether the public at large Is the
gamer, or the actual and final loser through
their reckless criticism, Is matter Of COM
plete indifference to them, provided that
some small annoyance Is caused to those
who are at the head Of public afairs- And
yet they call their mission one Of Peace, Of
Charity, Of LoEei It being en- old estab-
Hshed truth that it Is easier TO eriticise than
to create, to destroy than to build up, it can
lot be wondered at that the laudahle exer-
tious Of these impartial knights Of negztion
are frequently crowned with the only success
they are entitled to, namely, to be appIauded
BY tho1ghfless crowd The greatest an
noy4res 70 1iis band Of public benefactors Is
to have to deal with statistics; nor i their
1Ee-zion 70 that branch Of political science
nl-fOunded- Numbers are not 50 easily to
be dealt with As words, and the eloquent de-
line4tor Of public instruction in local pa
per Of this city can not help admitting
though with bad grzee-the exactness Of the
statistics concerning the number Of children
IN the common schools, and in those assisted
By the Government, a. given in the GAZETTE
Of the 21d Inst His indignation soon finds
vent, however, through another channel

fires in the vicinity Of this city. thereby Great
ing false alarm Of fre. This has been done
three times within the last few months. and
the effect Il has had on the iremen has been

but DO not wish 10 be triied with. or sub
jeeted to the caprice of children, large or
small, in this manner. II II is too much
trouble TO notify the Department of the In
tention Of lighting bonfire, the Department
nay after time conclude that IL Is too much
trouble 10 run n mile on uncertainties. Such
was the feeling expressed by some of the
members on last Tuesday evening.
Now, Sir, If the citizens persist In the prae-
tice above alluded to, they are responsible for
the consequences. There is danger in calling
out the Fire Department at any time, even in
case Of a real alarm Of Ere; but 1t is far more
dangerous on a dark night, when the streets
arc filed with people, as was the case on the
last false alarm. There were several narrow
escapes from severe injuries by the running
Of engines in haste through narrow, crooked
and dark streets. We accept the apology OF
the parties who lighted the bonfire on last
Tuesday night for what it may Be worth, but
1t does not repair the damage done to two Of
our machines on that occasion. Who is re-
sponsible. Yours in haste,

Good New. from the Country Districts.

= fz-y y = ~. ------s 20
All the accounts which are received from
the country districts: of South Carolina
agree in reporting that the condition Of the
people is rapidly improving, and that du-
ring the last few months there has been q
marked change for the better in their bust
ness and agricultural prospects. A glance
at the local papers will show this to be the
case, and we are encouraged to believe that
the State is now making substantial pro-
gress in adapting itself to the new condition
of things, and in retrieving those losses and
misfortunes which were only aggravated by
the three first years of pseudo-peace.
In Lancaster County, on sales day, the
lands in the market were sold at fair rates
Four thousand pounds of seed cotton has
been gathered FROM two acre lot in this
county. The Lancaster Ledger says that
preparations are being made for the intro
duction of prolific cotton plants and i'm
proved agricultural implements; also, that
"with US it may be truthfully said, that the
"old things have passed away"
In Abbeville County, on last sales day,
more real estate was offered than is known
to nave been in the market at any one time
before. This property sold well, although
it did not command the prices of before the
war. About fifteen thousand acres Of land
were sold. The gross amount of the sales
was $4,000. This does not look as if there
was no money in the state.'
In Oconee, the culture of tobacco, once a
staple product of that section, is to be re-
commenced. Tobacco, at present prices, is
expected to give the farmer about two hun
dred dollars for each hand employed. A
factory is to be put up, and the plant will
be manufactured in the county in which it
is raised.
In Pickens County new vein of gold has
been recently discovered, and machinery is
expected to be put up for pounding the
quartz The agricultural prospect is ex-
cellent
In Greenville, the land sold on sales.day
brought prices far higher than the prices Of
one year ago, and money is said to be one
hundred times as plentiful as it was in the
first and second years after the war. Keal
estate was sold amounting to about S24, ,0OO
In Barnwell the farmers are sound, hnan-
cially. They have good supply of bread
stuffs, trade is more lively, and there are
no poor in the neighborhood.
This is but little of the cheering news
which we have received from the country
districts of South Carolina.
