IFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

; BLACKvIILE COURTHOUSE, October Z.
My prediction that q larger cotton crop
would be realized than much persons calculo-
ted upon. is, think, Verified fully in the exhibit
of accounts from different sections of the State.
The fleccy staple is still pouring in at this
point, Notwithstanding the decline in price.
The amount shipped, however, is no indexas
to the actual quantity made, and cotton pick
ing is now rapidly drawing to close. There
seems to be a disposition on the part OF the
planters to ship no more than will serve 10
sailafe him off with his factor; and it is wise
policy, as the price must necessarily advance
as soon as the present supply on the market is
exhausted, and from the simple fact that there
has not been as large yield as would warrant
so great decline There seems TO me to be
ample room for profitable speculation to those
who can purchase at the minimum and hold
for q few months

respectable citizens. He died from dropsy of

member of the Barnwell bar, and was noted
for the geniality of his disposition and uniform
kindness to the distressed who appealed to
him for advice and assistance.
learn that a negro of rather notorious
character, by the name Of Bob Brown, who
was some time since in Jail for stealing cotton,
and more recently for housebreaking, was
shot at and wounded by another colorcd man
named Miles, on last Sunday, on the place OF
Mr.. Walton HAIR Brown, it appears, had
broken into the house of a colored woman on
the place, and rifled it of some articles which
he hid ualer tree top. Miles, who is a man
of good standing, undertook to redress her
grievances and recovered the stolen articles,
and in attempting with some other negroes
to arrest Brown was resisted, and having
snapped his pistol at the party, Brown fled,
by ball from Miles, pistol, which, it
is said found lodging place somewhere in
the corpus of said Brown, with what final re-
suit is not known.
There was general Jail delivery at Barn.

and made tracks for more congenlal quarters.
The citizens of the place, both white and col
Ored, made hot pursuit, but only succeeded in
four. The frequency of such es-
capes demands more stringent measures for
the security of prisoners. An old negro by
the name Of TOney exercises the office of turn
key, and whenever q criminal becomes tired
of confinement he simply knocks "Old Toney"
down and walks ont ''free and unfettered as

ing fixed salaries, professional and business
men are rigidly pursued for the income tax
the planters, farm ers and agriculturists gen.
orally have many ways of evading the law.
The harvest in England for 1869, according
to an experienced correspondent of the Lon
don Times, will prove more profitable to the
farmer than it was in 1868. 1t is asserted that
the large sums expended last year on artificial
foods have this year been saved, and that the
increased stock of sheep has yielded augment
ed profits, the wool having fully maintained its
per cent. over that Of last year. One remarka-
BILE circumstance mentioned respecting food
produce is the great disparity between the
price of bread and butchers meat. The four
pound loaf sells at i'd, and beef and putton at
lid. per pound, the former being intrinsically
of greater valae than the latter. This state of
affairs it is asserted, is an anomaly which can
not long exist, and it is coptended that, in all
probability, bread will slightly advance, and
meat get lower in price, as it is only reasona-
BILE to suppose that, if the short supply of fat
tening food last year increased. the price of
meat, the abundant supply of this year will
cause corresponding reduction.
DIR. Francis Lieber has written a long let
ter to the Hon. Hamilton Fish on "The OBJ
trusion of Foreign Convicts." He cites exam
pies of the practice of exporting convlcts to
this country, and mentions that twenty-five
years ago the English Home Secretary promnl-
gated o rule to the effect that every convict
who had served twO-thirds of his scrlnBcc
with good prison conduct should be pnroncd
on condition that he quilted England, or, IN
other words, went to some British colony or tho
United States Dr. Lieber at the time publicly
called attention to this great offence aganstl In
ternational equity. He has recently learned
that some of the small German States and
Swiss Cantons repeatedly burden us with the
criminals whose crime they find 1t too irksome
to punish, and ample proofs Of these practices
can be found in the archives at Washing
ton. To guard against these fragrant inva-
sions, DR.. Lieber considers that we need
three things First, the foul character Of the
proceeding must be openly acknowledged and
plainly laid down in the law OF nations, and
every attempted Importation OF convicts should
be declared by treaty stipulation grave Of
fence, most ''uniriendly act" calling for seri-
ous remedies. Second, q law should be enact
ed making the introduction OF convicts into
our country penal offence on the part OF all
aiding in the importation, and providing that
the convicts may be exported to the country
whence they came, and at the expense of the
government of that country. Third, in the
event of the passage of such law previous to
the conclusion of the treaties spoken Of the
United States Government should proclaim to
the civilized world that it will consider the at
tempted obtrusion Of convicts highly penal
act, and, If governments have anything to do
with it, an unfriendly act in the sense of the
law of nations which requires satisfaction.

No Sales and Small Attendancc-The
Georgetown Railroad-An Interesting
Decision-The Farmers and the Crops
"a Negro Saturnalia.
TFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE



KINGsTREE. October 6.
Monday was sales-day here, but no sheriff's
sales took place, in consequence Of private ar
rangements between the parties. The in
| coming cotton crop will no doubt enable many
! to pay debts and prevent sacrifice OF theil
property. The crowd in attendance was eX-
ceedingly small and nothing of special interest
transpired. An effort was made to get up q
public meeting in the interest of the George
town Railroad, but it was thought desirable TO
postpone it, on account of the unusually small
attendance of citizens from the county. The
road was recently sold out at sheriff's sale for
$377, and is now in other hands. A new COM
and the friends OF the enterprise are hopeful
that it will be pushed forward to completion.
A connection with the Central Railroad at this
place is talked Of

Green has rendered a decision awarding the

the rest of the lot, with outbuildings, &C., to
Ward, the plaintiff. This decision recognizes
the validity of the sheriff'S sale, which was a
question involved, and rests upon the point
that tone store was advertised and entered
upon the sales book, instead of store and lot.
About $4,000 of taxes have been collected
so far in this county, leaving balance Of only
about $4,000 This mongrel State government

feet army of officials, 'both white and color
ed,' to run il, all of whom must have fat sala-
ries OF course. That imam wants but little here
below" does not apply to the ''truly loil, /" and
in the expenditure of the peoples money sys-
tenn of reckless extravaganza is exhibited by
all officials, high and low.
The farmers are still busy with cotton pick
ing, and, though the crop will probably fall
short about one-f0urth in consequence of un-
favorable seasons during the spring and sum-
mer, they seem encouraged by the prospect of
a fair yield and good prices. A good deal of
cotton stealing is complained OF, and this
seems likely to be standing trouble so long
as Sambo remains too lazy to earn his living
by honest labor.
The merchants are bringing on their fall
stocks, and look for brisk trade soon. Nu-
merous customers from the surrounding coun-
try are already coming in, and they will,
doubtless, find what they want, with prices to
suit the times.
We are having fine, bracing fall weather, and
can now realize that tic summer Is gone. The

frequently protracted during the greater part
of the night, and such scenes were enacted as
can better be imagined than described.

To THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA:
The above Company was organized in 1855, in
consequence Of the wholesale forfeiture OF South

paralleled success Of the enterprise has forced
several of these companies to restore their South
ern policies, from the fact that they could not
operate In our midst without the appearance OF
honesty.
We keep all our meney at home to build up
our impoverished country-every dollar Of pre-
MUM being safely invested in the State from
which 1t is derived. The institution is purely
Southern, and hence should appeal with great
force to the patriotism and sympathy OF every
Southern heart.
TITS not our purpnsA A-tn- make war on otner

offered by this purely Southern Company-found-
ed on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio OF
assets to llabilites-the true test of company's
strengths second to none on this continent,
being nearly $500 to 500.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted
the sympathies OF our people, but has also secur-
ed their hearty cooperation. We have secured
600 policies in South Carolina since the 10th OF
February. We number among our Directors
