DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR P1CKENs.

The Edcefeld Adcertiscr brings the mournful
intelligence that the Hon. FRANCIS W. PIoKENs is
no more. He died on the 25th of January, at
Edsewood his residence in Elgefeld county The
announcement made few weeks since that Gov
PIcKESs was lying seriously i'll left US not wholly
unprepared for the fatal result. For more than
thirty years, this distinguished son of South Caro-
lima has held prominent and honorable place in
State and national politics, and. as the Charleston
Ncus Justly remarksS "almost the only period Of
his manhood which was not given to the pubic
service was that which Immediately preceded his
DEATH" The Ne,rs says: "After serving for awhile
in the Legislature, he was elected, in 1850, as
one Of tho representatives Of the State in Congress-
Which position: he held continuously until lS45.
In 1858 he was appointed by President Buchanan
to the post of the United States Minister
at the Court of St. Petersburg, where he
remained until the threatening aspect of the rela-
tions between the South and the Federal Govern
ment induced him to relinQuish the Russian mis-
sion. On hi. return in 1850 lie was chosen Gov
ernor of his native State; and thus it was his
fortune to preside over her destnes at the out
break of that mighty but disastrous struggle in
which shc was foremost to strike a decisive blow.
Of the dignity, discretion, manliness and nerve
with which Gosernor Pickens bore himself in that
trying time, we need aot speak. The impartial
historian who is hereafter TO chronicle the stirring
events of which our city was then the theatre, will
do full justice to his memory.
CATER the close of his official term, and since
the end of the war, Governor Pickens has been en-
gagged in planting, pursuit in which his tact, e1-
pcricnce and fine estates enabled him to attain
great success Of late, on two or three occasions
only has he been induced to give public express
sion of his sentiments, when his counsel was of
the sensible, moderate and manly character which
ever marked his political views. The State, whose
honor and interests were the dearest objects OF his
life will deeply mourn her loss, and jealousy
cherish his fame

FARMERS ASSOCIATION.

The regular quarterly meeting of this society
was held in the Court House on Monday last.
There was slim attendance of members, although
inspiring strains of music from the Anderson
Brass Band were brought into requisiton to aid in
the summons. It was evident that many felt more
interest in the palry auction sales then progress
ing than in the success and Advancement OF the
Farmers Association. "'Tis true, It's pity; and
pity tis. 'tis true"
The. President Of the Association, Hon. JAMES
L. ORR, took the chair at tho appointed hour.
The minutes of the last meeting we're read and con-
hrmed.
A report was submitted from Messrs. B. +.
GRAFTON and ]. C. KEYS. in relation to the yield
Of one fourth of an acre planted by them in Tur-
nips, for which Premium had been offered MIR.
KEY. patch, manured with Rawbone Phosphate.
yielded niuety-four bushels; Mr.. GRAFTON
patch yielded one hundred and three bushels be-
ing manured with Rawbone and Wando Phos-
pilates. Both patches were planted too late, and
were injured by rust or insects causing the leaves
to drop off, In response 10 calls, these gentlemen
made interesting statements regarding their cul-
tivation Of turnips, with and without manures.
They were subsequently, requested to furnish state
ment. for publication, as to their mode OF culture
quality of seed planted, kind Of manures, &C.
The Executive Committee reported that they
had held meeting, in which it was determined TO
refer the matter of Premiums for incoming crops,
such as corn and cotton to the Association, for an
expression of opinion as to tho number of Premi-
ums to be offered. After much discussion, it was
resolved to refer the subject back to the Executive
Committee, with instructions to prepare and pub
ish list of Premiums for corn, cotton, &C., at on
early day.
The following important resolution was intro
duced, and after some discussion adopted:
Resolucd, That no person who has heretofore be-
come member of this Association shall be allow
ed to compete for any Premium offered by the So
ciety unless his initiation fee shall have been paid
to the Treasurer on or before the first day OF April
next.
The discussion of this resolution elected the
fact that less than onc-third of the members had
paid their initiation fees, and further that the E1-
ecutive Committee had already offered premiums
amounting to four-ffths of the money received
There being ne further business, the Association
adjourned to meet again on the first Monday in
May next the regular quarterly meeting.

it gushes out. and is sixty eighty yards wide.
If the water was brought into narrow channel il

is near, and located on the river. There is fe-
male high school, under Presbyterian influence, at
this place, and is considered to be Of great value
to the inhabitants around it, and like the other,
has choice of railroad communication but being
located so near each other neither is likely to in
crease to the same extent they otherwise might if
more distant from each other.
Eastport, on the river below, is place OF con-
siderable trade. Formerly the cotton was taken
from Tishcmingo. Pontotoc. Tippah, Etiwamba,
and counties yet nearer to this place. Since the
completion of the Mobile and Ohio Road, it cut off
some from this market. From Tuscumbia to Co
rinth is less attractive in appearance, but fine

BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

We are gratifed to learn that the reconnaissance
of the line Of this Road, made last week by Col.
JAMES P. Low and Maj THos. B. LEE, was entire
ly satisfactory. The reconnaissance was confined
to that part between Walhalla and the North Car
olina lne where the work had been partially done.
The report is, that the Stump House Tunnel Is
more advanced than heretofore stated, there being
but 1900 feet of heading to drive, with six work
ing faces; that it can be driven through in ten
months that the road cnn be completed to ths
North Carolina linesin twenty months, and that
the whole Road to Knoxville can bc finished in
same time, if funds are provided.
We note with great pleasure every evidence OF
advancement with this magnificent work. work
ing party of Engineers will be put in the field
within ten days, aud estimates furnished for con
tracts in q very short time. We shall keep our
readers constantly advised of every progress made
by this Road.
Our friends in Tennessee are wide awake to the
importance of this enterprise and hail with salts
faction every indication of its progress. The
Knoxville Press and Messenger, in alluding to a
paragraph copied from this paper, says;
We hope there will be no failure upon the part
of the Legislature Of Tennessee to provide IN some
way fer the connection Of the Knoxville and Char
lesion Railroad to n connection with the Blue
Ridge Railroad. This great railroad is an imper-
alive commercial necessity, and with the compile
ton of the Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad will
make sure tho development of the resources OF
Knoxville and indeed of all East Tennessee be-
yond peradventure.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN

1t seems that the ,atsments made by the cor
RESPONDENT of the Charleston Nevs, and which
appeared in our last issue, respecting the opinions
entertained by Attorney General CnAMBERLAIN
during the recent visit of that gentleman to Abbe-
vile, were partially incorrect. Mr.. c. addresses
note to the editor ofthe Ners, expressing great
surprise" at the aforesaid statements, aud in tile
following manner places himself upon the record.
VIC are bound to declare that more extended
visit would have enabled the Attorney General 20
verify the assertions made respecting tho good
order and perfect harmony existing in Abbevills.
In his note, Mr.. c. says:
"Whilc am sure your correspondent did not
intend to misrcprescnt the case am still COM
PEELED TO say that near y all he has stated of my
visit to Abbevle is drawn from his own imagna-
ton. and not from statements or expressions Of
mine. What did say, and what j take pleasure
in saving now, is that personally was treated
with entire civility and kindness; that | myself
saw no evidences of present disorder or laulcss-
ness, and that far cords go, the recent out
RACES in that country arc condemned by those with
whom conversed But my opportunities were
not sufficient to warrant me in making any such
reneraI and conf lent observations as are atribu-
ted to me by your correspondent. l should rejoice
to believe that all that am represented rs saying
of the people of Abbevie is true but have yet
received no evidence which justihes me in asserting
or believing it.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Up to this writing. Wednesday noon, the busi-
ness of the Court is still progressing. We have
had no opportunity of being in attendance for
several days, but learn that matters are being DIS
posed of with as much rapidity as could be expec-
ted large amount of civil business has nceu-
mulated upon the dockets, and many important
cases will doubtless be decided. The Equity busi-
ness transferred to this Court will not probably be
touched until the May term. In several debt
cases tried last week, We learn that the JuTles
sealed old debts, making their verdicts embrace
about one-half Of the principal and interest Con-
federate debts were made to conform to the
schedule of prices at which Confederate notes ra-
ted at the time in gold or its equivalent, or the
true value of the article purchased.
