THE MOUNTAIN LABoRED," ETC
After considerable amount of wind and
clash or two Of thunder, the clouds
opened and a few drops of rain fell, yes
terday, about Q o'clock. The gardens
in this vicinity are completely burnt up,
while serious fears sre entertained of the
corn crop. Passengers over the Green
vile Railroad report excellent showers
along that route, yesterday. A young
food would be acceptable here.
EXTERsfINAT1oN. N.-Forney is shocked
at speaker who said, at the late meet
ing in Memphis, that determination is
She doom of the negro" But the remark
is true. determination is the negro's
doom, extermination, not by the hand of
violence, but by the competition, in Ia
Dor, between intelligence and ignorance,
economy and wastefulness, industry and
Incidence. Yes. determination is the
neGro's late, and he can sadly shake his
kinky locks at radicalism, and say thou
didst it."
MAP OF THE CrTY.-Wc have received
from A. Y. Lee, Esq, copy of his
"Ward Map of the City of Columbia, p"
which, after careful examination, we
pronounce as near correct as it is posi-
bic to have anything of the sort, in these
variable times-that is, when there is
such transfer of property continually
going on. This map is neatly put up on
rollers, and, aside from its usefulness,
will prove an ornament to an Office, pas
sage or dining-room. Mr.. Lee will com
mence the delivery of copies to sub
scribers this morning.
A card ispublished in another column,
from Miss NJ. A. Buie, who is eenrally
known as the Confederate soldiers friend,
in which she announces the re-opening
of her school, in Edgefeld. She has
had many difficulties to contend with,
but has at last succeeded in establishing
her institution on firm basis. The
children of deceased Confederate soldiers
are taught free of charge; while board
can be obtained in families residing near
the school at about S12 month. She
is entitled to, and will doubtless receive,
an extensive patronage.
Tho planters of the State will be
pleased to see that our enterprising fell
low-citizens, Messrs. Bakely e. Gibbes,
are prepared to engage several thousand
bales of cotton, at fair rates. We learn
that they are securing crops ut twenty to
twenty-five cents per pound, according
to time of delivery. When the rush OF
cotton comes in-say in November and
December market will, no doubt,
decline considerably; and it would be q
sure thing now to secure a good paying
price, without The risk of low figures
that good crop may force on us. Not
withstanding our section is suffering
with drought, accounts from most ot
the cotton States show healthy state oi
feeling, and friend just from South.
western Georgia informs us that the
crops there are finer than ever known
before. The use of guano, improved
cultivation, &C., will certainly make the
yield this season per acre far ahead Of
what it has ever been before. We car
but think our planters will respond tc
Messrs. Blakely & Gibbes' card, and take
ga bird in the hand for two in the bush. >
