From the New Orleans Republican, we
learn that the few persons engaged in the
cultivation of ramic in the vicinity ol
New Orleans are constantly in receipt oil
letters from the Northern cities and from
Europe, making inquiries relative to ramie
culture, the price at which it can be sold
and the amount that can be supplied
Some OF the manufacturers who have
tested the value of the fibre by spinning
it into thread, say that it is superior tc
flax, and if there could be any certainty
of supply, it would supersede altogether
the use of flax in thread spinning. 9th
ers assert that they can take the crude
fibre and in four hours convert it into 6
heccy silk worth from three to four dol
lars per pound, and can weave it into
fabrics having all the hcxibility and lus'
tire of the finest foreign silk.

Don't Want Costly Public Build
iuPS.

At a public meeting held at Sill
verton, in the new County of Aiken,
Dr.. Isaac Foreman in the Chair, to
take into consideration the building
of the Court House and Jail for the
new County, the people took stand
against lthe erection of costly public
buildings, and unanimously adopted
the following preamble and rcsolu-
tions:
Whereas the Legislature, at its last
session, passed an act forming new
county out of parts of the counties
Of Edge6eld, Lexington, orangeburg
and Barnwell, provided the people OF
the new county would erect their own
public buildings; and whereas Com
missioners were appointed by the
Legislature to carry out the SAID act
in the event of he people being will,
ing to accede to the above mentioned
provisions: Therefore.
/. Resozucd, That this is the pe,o,

to have managed in their own way;
and that the Commissioners should
be careful to consult their will. -.
2. Resolued, That we are Wiling
to erect suitablepublic buildings, and
to defray the other expenses incl

county, to do which the sum OF 9lo,,

The caro- OF this hrm (SayS Tile doH. A.
H. STEPHENS, Editor of the Atlanta Stt,,)
appears in our paper this morning. We
take pleasure in Recommending thArn to
those who wish to transact business there.
Mr.. Jennings is one of the old merchants
of the city, of the highest reputation.
Col. Joseph T. Smith we have personally
known for twenty years. Too much
cannot be said in his favor. He is q re-
liable man, of first class integrity and
business habits, and every way one Of
the best of men. He is native of FL
bert county, and son of Judge Benja-
min Smith, long one of the first citizens
OF that county-a gentleman of the olden
times, widely known and universally
respected. His son, Col. Joseph T., was
Colonel of the gallant 63d Georgia, in the
late war, and distinguished himself in
that service. He will do to tie to, and
the firm will do to patronize.

The plot and the Conspirator.

General Grant has gone to the front
the army will move tomorrow How
vividly the old familiar telegram seems to
repeat itself in the garish light OF con-
temporary events THERE'S no longer
any doubt about the plot, and there is no
longer any doubt about the conspirator.
The sorry mask is no longer Of service,
and it is cast aside. The lying legend Of
"peace," plucked away, reveals the naked
sword, Just as the sudden floating Of the
black flag and the CLEAN Of hungry cut
lasses transform the peaceful cruiser into
the dreadful pirate. King Log is sudden
ly transmitted into King Stork, and there
is woful splashing already in the frog
pond. The Gatling guns have already
taught the friends Of peace to look about
them, and they stand in the predlcament
of Seneca's Romans, whom he represents
as trembling lest the slaves should per-
chance discover how few the masters
were. 1t would, indeed, be horrible if
the rascals should find out how few the
prescient patriots are in this lmperilled
land.
The plot is virtual Casarism, and the
conspirator is confessedly the President.
No matter what, nor how virtuous and
patriotic the pretext, to use the reserved
forces Of the Government towards the
perpetuation of his term of office, is con-
spiracy against the life of the Republic.
This is what mas been done, is now doing,
and General Grant is the conscious, pre-
pcnse conspirator. He has set his hand
openly to the ploy, and he is not the man
to turn back from the furrow, nor to falter
through dread of the heat of the day.
Casey went from him, as the arrow flies,
and ordered and consummated the militia
nv usurpation at New Orleans. To him
The Cabinet came, hidden by him, prompt

The military occupation of South Carolina
immediately ensued, deferred only by an
incident. The hand that has done thus
much will reach further The bayonet
that prods will stick-thc Gatling gun
that mcnaces will speak on occasion.
New Orleans was warned and did not
heed, so the blow fell, definitely. New
York has been warned and threatened.
mas not needed, does not mean to heed
the blow will fall there, too, in good time.
We repeat it, the hour for concealments is
past, the conspiracy is ripe, the conspira-
lor stands revealed" General Grant has
gone to the front-thc army will move to-
morrow I'-[ Washington Patriot.

How Did Ee Come By It3

OF all questions this is the commonest
in South Carolina. 1t is generally asked
in reference to some brazen carpet-bag
ger or renegad" who has stolen himself
rich. And NV the whole world is ask
ing it in e!erenco to President Grant,
who ha lately bought farm near st.
Louis, for sS0O.OOo. a farm that is the
pride of Missouri. A farm that sur
passes all other farms in this country for
costly magnifcence. OF course the ques-
ton very naturally arises: Z" How Did
He Come By It?" His houses in Wash
ington and other cities were the gifts OF
New York capitalists. His cottage at
Long Branch he owes to the gamblers
and hotel keepers Of that locality. And
now, where did the 100000 farm come

Forgive and Forget.

Forgive and forget-it is better
To fling overy feeling aside,
Than allow the deep cankering fetter
Of revenge in thy breast to abide.
For thy steps through Gfe's path shall Do
When the load from thy bosom is cast,
And the sky that's above thee be brighter
When the cloud of displeasure has
passed.
Though thy spirit swell high with emo
ton
To give back an injustice again,
Let it sink in oblivion's ocean,
For remembrance increases the pain.
And why should we linger in sorrow
When its shadow is passing away,
Or seek to encounter tomorrow
The blast that sweeps DER us to-day?
Oh, memory's varying river,
And though it may placidly glide
When the sunbeams of joy DER it tquiver,
1t foams when the storm meets lts
tide.
Then stir not the current of madness,
For its wrath thou wilt ever regret,
Though tho morning beams break on
Ere the sunset, forgive and forget.

- Heaven help the man who imag-

"a Heaven help the man who imag-
ines he can dodge enemies by trying to
please everybody! If such an individu-
al over succeeded, he should be glad OF
it-not that one should be going through
the world trying to find beams to knock
and thump his head against, disputing
every mans opinion, fighting and elbow
ing, and crowding all who differ from
him. That, again, is another extreme.
Other people have their opinion, so have
you; don't fall into the error of suppo-

color OF theirs. Wear your own colors
in spite of wind and weather, storm,

COLUMBIA, S. G., Sept 10, 1871.
AT the last meeting of the Execu-
tive Board of the South Carolina

that a bazaar should be held in Co.
lumbia during the month of Novem-
ber; the proceeds Of which bazaar
shall be used to aid in the erection Of
a monument to the Confederate dead
Of South Carolina. Through the kind
ness of the President Of the South
Carolina Agricultural Society, sufi-
Gent space for the bazaar has been
assigned at the Fair Grounds, and
the bazaar will be held at the same
time as the Agricultural Fair-from
the 5th to the 10th November. Feel
ing assured that more good can be
accomplished by a combined effort OF
this kind than by any individual ex-
ertion, however we'll directed, We
earnestly appeal to the women of the
State to help us in our work. Up to
this time every call for aid has been
most generously responded to, both
by South Carolinians residing out
side Of the State, as we'll as by those
who are among us to see the progress
of our work. Being convinced, there
fore, that we have but to represent
our cause for all to contribute gladly
to its success, we ask the public in
terest in its behalf. Contributions
of all kinds will be acceptable. Boxes

"I am no trucker to Southern senti-

CHILD BURN1NG.--One of the most
brutal outrages that it has ever been our
lot to chronicle, was committed on the
plantation of Mr.. Knox Pickett, in this
County, on the 3Oth ult. 1t seems that
Kosum Pickett, negro. quit his wife,
some time ago, and during his absence
she gave birth tc child He remained
away, we suppose, about two years. On
his return, he and his wife had quarrel
about the child; he becoming enraged
cave the child an unmerciful whipping,
after which, he held it over the fire until
its back and legs were burned to crisp
The child lived about six days. The mur'
derer was arrested by some colored men
but escaped, and is now at large. This is
the most inhuman outrage that has evel
occurred in this County, Winnsbort

now claimed that cotton can be manufac-

than in New England. 1t is said that
twenty per cent. annually has been the
dividend paid by cotton factory in Au-
