Portable victory. In the conflict of the two
civilizations, as we call them, am not so

conquered people civilization based on

family, the Attention for the household, the
pride of State, which meant the locality,
when these attributes were found, are the
characterization Of Southern civilization, and
I existed independent of slavery. Our civili-
zation is the reverse of this. It is the
civilization of New England, that has no true

no atectlon for @ locality. We have the
barbaric pride Of display. We emigrate and

A Columbia correspondent of the New

the immigration movement in South Caro-

''The agencies are private, and the re-
suits are decided and will tell in time. An

OF several others of a like kind-in the

number of planters met at tie court house

matter, agreed that white labor would pay.

SOMETHING That SHOULD BE LOOKED
Tot is remarkable fact that while
newspapers arc delivered regularly in the
small cities and towns, in the larger ones
from thirty to fifty per cent. of those sent
fail to reach subscriners. This is particu-
'iarly the case in New York, PHILADELPHIA
and New Orleans. We receive more COM
plants from subscribers in those three cities
than from all the rest of our list combined.
and yet the paper is sent with quite as much
regularity to the former as to the latter
Now, how does this happen2 There can be
but one way, and that is the indifference
and neglect OF clerks in large offices. The
country newspaper mails are considered of
but little value by these lazy, self-consti-
tuted judges. or else the Gov ernment does
not allow the employment of enough of
them to do the business. The conse
quence il whole mails are thrown aside
as so much rubbish, just because the
officials have not time or the disposition to
distribute them. We hope the Postmaste r
General and his special agents will look
into this matter, and correct an evil that is
the source of heavy loss. and any amount
OF vexation, to the proprietors of newspa
pers outside the great cities.

asA correspondent OF The Lu,.- Con-,
,fer calls attention to sn Important matter
relative to Clerks Of the Court; their, work
is increased, while their fees are decreased:
By the new Constitution and laws the
duties and responsibilities Of the Commits
sioner in Equity are transferred to tho Clerk
OF the Court of Common Pleas, while tho
sales in equity and the commissions there
from-which really constituted the princ-
pal income OF the ofice--are assigned to
the Sheriff The Clerk has vast increase
of labor and liabilities, with scarcely any
perceptible increase Of compensation. The
Sheriff has quite nice thing of it in the
additional sales aud commissions, with
scarcely any perceptible increase of labor
or liability. |: is rather indicntive of q
want of proper adjustment in thus requir-
ing the County Clerks to do the work Of
the Commissioners. while another officer
receives the Commissioners pay. The wide
awake Clerk of this County, Mr. G. w.
Reardon, has already discovered this want
OF adjustment and absence of fnirness in
the new arrangement it now stands, and
no doubt his official co-laborcrs throughout
the State will soon conclude with him that
equity comes upon them, in This instance,
IN form and manner neither cquit able nor
Just Whether any effort will be made in
the way OF amendment remains to be seen.
Perhaps the Clerks will become restiye un.
der this additional incubus of uncompen-
sated labor, and the Sheriffs become equally
restlve under any threatened withdrawal OF
these easily gathered emoluments; and the
result of such tilt between these high
officers of the Counties, it would be vain
now to conjecture.

SAVINGS BANK IN CoLUMBIA.-In orr
issue of last Sunday it was announced that
the Governor had signed, among others, an
Act to incorporate the Citizens Savings
Bank of South Carolina. This will supply
want long felt. In Institutions of this
character, deposits of from one dollar up-
wards. bearing compound interest, are re-
ceived and invested in reliable securities, or
loaned upon proper collaterals. These in
vestments and loans are made under the
supervision of n Board of Directors, who
are usually, as we presume will be the case
In this instance, citizens in whom the pub
Ito have confidence. We all know how
money burns in our pockets. Some of US
most of us, very unfortunately-ar Just
at present troubled with impecuniosity,
and while we may have few dollars have
not enough to loan on mortgages or other
securities, and the consequence is, that un-
willing to deposit in bank without inte-
rest, or loan to individuals with uncertainty
as to its return when needed, we yield to
the temptations of the hour and throw our
savings away in the pursuit Of amusements
or the purchase of luxuries. In this bank
an opportunity will be afforded widows, or
phans, mechanics, clerks, laborers and
others of moderate means, to deposit their
funds where they can withdraw them when
needed, and, in the meantime, receive COM
pound interest. Planters, merchants, pro-
fessional men and trustees will find this q
convenient place to deposit their surplus
funds, and receive interest, till they can
make permanent investments, or till they
need the money in their family or other
business operations. Married women and
minors can deposit their money, on inte-
rest, where it will be secure from the
creditors of their husbands or guardians
These are very wise provisions. We under
stand that it is the intention of the moor
porators to organize at once, and commence
the operations of the bank by the 1st of
March. rI

LIGHT BALES OF CorroN-THE CROP
SHORTER THAN IT SEEn1s.-A writer in the
Macon Journal says: "It is little remarka-
Die that cotton mon have made no allu
sion through the press to the undeniable
fact that the bales OF cotton of the crop Of
1869 are on an average considerable
lighter than were those of 1967-s. This is
verified by the observation and the renorts
that come from the large and small markets
of this country. 1t is estimated the differ.
ence will average 30 pounds per bale, which
on an estimated crop of $780, 900 bales
make difference of $500, 900 pounds, or
100, 900 bales of 500 pounds each-thereby
reducing the crop to 1850, 900 bales-an
item we'll worthy of note by manufacturers
and dealers in the staple generally. The
main reason with the planters for packing
hght bales this season is quite obvious. At
the high ruling price of cotton, the bag
glng and rope, or ties, pay about two dol
lars per bale profit, that being the estimated
average difference between the cost and the
price obtained for these articles, when sold
on or as part OF the cotton by the planter. "

SoUTH CAROLINA AND COLUMBIA AND AU-
dUsTA RA11RoADs.-The litigation between
these two roads will apparently never end.
Some time ago, jury was empanneled at
Graniteville to determine the damages to the
South Carolina Railroad, consequent upon
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad having
graded their track too near to that of the
former. The jury, so empnnneed, after
having surveyed and inspected the line,
rendered verdict for the South Carolina
Road of $110. And as the gentlem, com
posing that jury were of the first standing
IN our community, and entirely above sus-
plcion, we hoped the end of litigation had
been attained.
At the last term of court, however. an
appeal was taken from that verdict. and
Judge Platt, after hearing n great deal of
evidence pro and con-, announced that. pro-
vlded the counsel for the Soulh Carolina
Road would sign paper, containing certain
conditions (which we had never known
counsels subjected to before) as to their
honest intentions, etc, he would take the
matter into consideration. That is. he
would simply decide whether or not the
showing made by the South Carolina Road
would entitle it to be heard before another
jury.
And so ended the February term techni.
calltlcs, Gf we may so express it, in regard
to this very important subject. Truly. a
practical illustration of the Horatian line
'Jumuna e:r fulgore."
The work on the Columbia and Augusta
Road, however, as we understand it, is not
to be interfered with at present

Whose passions not his rulers are;
Whose soul is still prepared for death;
Not tied unto the world with care
Of Princes ear, or vulgar breath.
Who hath his life from humours freed;
Whose conscience is his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither hatterers feed.
Nor ruin make oppressors great.
Who envies none whom chance doth raise,
Or vice:-Who never understood
How deepest wounds are given with praise,
Nor rules Of state, but rules of good.
Who God doth late and early pray,
More of His grace than gifts to send
And cheerily fills the harmless day,

This man is freed from servile bands
OF hope to rise, or fear to fall;
Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And having nothing, hath oil.
