Ten THOUSAND ROUNDS OF CARTRIDGES.
We learn TINT 10000 rounds of car
tridges arrived at this place last Mon
day. directed to June Mobley. That's
about five bullets for each white voter of
this County. Scott must expect some
pretty hard fighting to carry his election.
We shudder at the idea of having five
bullets lodged in our inonenslve carcass.
Now, the next move, we suppose, will be
to get Kirk or Crews.to command the
Scott army in Union. We also learn
that 25,O0O rounds of cartridges were
sent to Chester a few days ago, and that
IN some Counties the militia drill with
loaded guns UnionpiNe Times.
Sister Irene, OF the Founding Asylum
OF New York, reports that thus far
1,O4O babies have been found in The
basket crib in the vestibule of that in
stitution. They continue to come in Mt

The Present Regime Inconsistent with
the Property OF South Cnrolinn.

the Prosperity of South Cnrolinn.
In no merely partisan spirit, but with
q due sense of the obligation Of truthful
statement, we have again and again in
these columns denounced the present
regime in South Carolina as at warfare
with the best interests Of our population,
white as we'll as colored. Let us consi-
der calmly and deliberately wherein it
has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting:
1. In this-Mat IL has introduced into
tie State a system Of fraud, corruption and
bribery disastrous and diSgraceu. 1t is
a matter of common notoriety, that in
nearly, if not every County Of the State,
gross frauds and mismanagement of the
County funds have been made apparent.
In many instances, the County officers
are notoriously ignorant, or inefficient or
corrupt, and in most cases, where the
officers are of the Governors appoint
ment, they are selected not because of
honesty or capability, but because Of
party considerations. But this state of
things is not confined to the Counties.
Look to the late General Assembly, and
consider the shameful and bare faced
bribery and corruption that have caused
even Republican journals to mako the
monstrous thing subject of hearty
deuunciation. Look to the Land Com
mission swindles exposed here and
there, all over the State. See how, in
the case of State officers, private for
tunes, by undoubted rascality, have been
made OF the public expense. And OBJ
serve how plundering Rings have been
shown to prey upon the State.
2. The present regime is at war with
rate purpose Of tie E.eecutive and his
aiders and dbetors is 10 Keep up an antago
nism bet,oeen The too races Mdt Hue in South
Carolina. It is certainly desirable that
good understanding should exist be-
tween the whites and blacks in the State.
This would lead to better system Of
labor, and hence to larger productions,
and hence to greater prosperity. And
this would also lead to that union of the
good men of both color, that we so much
need in order to secure capable nnd
honest and thrifty government. and An
economical administration Of our public
affairs This, too, would promote that
internal peace that secures the interests
of property.
3. The present regime is inconsistent
with the public good also, in this-MM
al does not encourage the .How in The State
Of Mat capitat that are need and of MA
thrifty population aohich ace desire. in order
TO supplement our numbers.
It is obvious that capital and settlers
are not disposed to place themselves
under government which even radical
journals have pronounced ga disgrace to
civilization" A Republican, of Colum-
bia, stated, in effect, to us not long since:
"Give good government to South Caro-
lina-get rid OF your plundcring Ring
and will guarantee that thousands of
settlers will move to South Carolina with
their families and their means" But,
added he, ''you must not expect them to
como under present circumstances

Coon Mixers A correspondent OF
the Petaluma Journal, writing from San
Simeon, has these interesting facts
about cows:
I noticed an article in your columns
a short time ago headed 'good mixers"
IN which you stated that one White, of
Bloomfield, bad COW in his dairy that
gave sixty ponds, or six and two-thirds
gallons OF milk per day-and a two.
year-old heifer that gave four gallons
per day-and asking, ifany person could
beat that, TO let you bear from them
Now, gentlemen, we can beat that lit
tie 10 our county, if We have short feed.
Norton, q gentleman we'll known in
SonOma county, is milking thirty heads
Of cows on my ranch. He has TWO cows
that give their regular seven and two
thirds gallons each per day. and three
two-year old heifers that give FIVE and
two.third gallons each per day. These.
rs you say. are dairy cows, not family
cows. Should you doubt the story, if
you will come down and milk them for
about week I,pledge you my word that
you will think that it is ten instead of
seven and two-thhds gallons.
