We learn from the Salisbury IN. CO. Exami-

day last, for the purpose Of pushipg forward
the above road, was success. The Examiner
A large assemblage OF the leading citizens of
that vicinity were present. :, The subject Of
building the road was fully discussed by various
gentlemen: The President, Major Townsend,
set forth his plan, which met the approval and
raised the hopes and spirits Of every hearer;
because hts plat is 60 simple, practicable, ,sa-
gac'ous that 1t commends itself at once to men
of common sense.
The people OF Gold Hin were asked to sub

raised the best part Of 1T at once, aud have no

LAND COMMISSIONERS OFFICE.

LAND COMMISSIONERS OFFICE.
COLUMBIA, s. c., July 18. 1859.
TO TIE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Several letters OF inquiry having been ad-
dressed to this Office in reference to the pur-
chase Of lands at bankrupts' sales, I would ask
the favor OF publishing in your journal, tor the
information Of all concerned, my reply.
1t is not my intention to make purchases at
bankrupt sales for two reasons, viz:, First,
the wite's dover is cloud upon the title.
Second, the primary object Of the Land Com
mission is not to take advantage OF the imrne-
diate necessities and unfortunate situation Of
the people by competing at public sales for
any PERSONS homestead. On the contrary,S /
am glad to see that the friends of bankrupts
generally throughout the State have generous
ly come forward aud contributed either small
or large sums, according to their means, to
save the family homestead, thereby encourage
ing and giving the bankrupt one more oppor-
tunity to retrieve his fortunes, remain a citi-
zen of the State, and continue to ASSIST in The
development of it's resources. Some OF the
noblest. most enterprlsing and useful men of
this or of any o. her State have become: bank
rupts in their time. The most valuable and
estimable citizens are liable to misfortuues,
and consider that the State that yaaIes her
true interest can never consent TO be d rival for
their destruction and fnaI overthrow. The
policy Of the Land Commission is not to de-
populate the State, but to use every stimulant
within its power and province to build it aup
and increase it's working force for its fullest
Development This Office works on the side Of
the people. Very respectfully, ~ ~,

Land Comm ssioner.

I'LL EARL DERBY's PROTEST.
LONDON, July 1G.-The protest against the
Irish Church bill by Earl Derby is signed by
,forty~seven Peers. 1t was entered againstthis
bill on the ground that it looked to the sever
anoe of be Church and State, O. project unre-
cogn,zed by any country in Europe.
TIC adoption os the bill would encourage the
designs Of those who want such severance ex-
tended throughout the United Kingdom, to-
gether with the resumption of grants and con.
fiscations Of property. The protest further
states that the passage Of the bill was violent
stretch of the-power Of Parliament which de-
stroys confidence in all property, and espe
c ally that resting on Parliamentary title.
The protest sets forth the impossibility Of
putting the dlsestsblished and disendowed
Church ON the footing and organization of the
Catholics, and that this grievance caused the
alienation ef Irish Protestants from the loyal
supporters Of the throne, and Stimulation in
the demands of Catholics.
LONDON, July 17.-The debate on the Irish
Church hill continued all night. Disraeli re-
gretted the rejection of the Lords am end
ments; sald the Peers had consented to se-
cond reading of the. bill on the understanding
that the Commons would consent to the modi
fcation. Gladstone said the promise was only
to consider reasonable amendments, and de-
