THE TEACHERS CoNvENTIoN.-The second
meeting of the Teachers Association of this
State was held in Columbia on the Goth and
2Iss of December, says the PhGnir. A good
many additions were made to the list of mem
bers, and among them We were glad to see the
names of such earnest and successful teachers
a, Prof. Judson, of Furman University, Prof:
Sachtleben, of Charleston, and Col. Coward, of
the Kings Mountain Military School.
On the second day, after the completion OF
the regular business, Mr.. R. B. Stuart, of
Winnsboro read an able and suggestive essay
on "The best method of teaching the ancient
languages" The constitution provides that
"any person who is, or has been, identified with
the cause of education, may become mem.
ber," and to all such we earnestly commend
this association as a means of advancing the
great work of instructing the youth of the
State.
The address of Prof. Carlisle, who is an ac-
tive member of the association, was able and
instructive fully sustaining his high and we'll
deserved reputation as a writer. We learn that
the address and the essay of Mr.. Stuart Will be
published. -,
The next meeting will be in Greenville, in
August, 1871, by which time we trust that the
roll of members, which already includes many
of our best teachers will be greatly increased.

For the Anderson LnteZliqencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: Cannot our town .authorities
be induced to enact law against cattle going
at large in our streetsf They are very serious
nuisance to our country ncighbors who come
into town to trade. And it is as amusing; as it
is vexatious, to. see with what expertness these
impudent brutes can climb into carriage,
buggy OF wagon, and find out just where The
corn and hay are stored away. And they do
say the most expert cow in the herd belongs to q
Council man!
Now, Mr.. Editor, am one of those who be-
lisve in radica1schange in our fence laHs in
fencing in our live stock, and turning out cul-
t:vated fields. But whilst one might contem-
plate, with comparative Indifference, his neigh
boris cattle gratuitously browsing upon his
common and occasionally breaking into his
cultivated fields, should think he would ques-
ton most decidedly the propriety of systemati-
cally subsisting these lazy town COWS out of his
very corn crib, barn, or mayhap lunch basket,
for they steal biscuits as we'll as .fodder.)-
Small loss, it is true, to any single individual
where there are 80 many to be preyed upon,
and great gain to the COWS; but that does, not
affect the principle. And the loss is nothing
compared to the annoyance Of the thing-the
ve1ation of spirit, the inexpressible desire to
"do the subject justice" in strong language, az
one pursues one of these rogues across the
streets to recover his last bundle of fodder.
Will eur Town Council correct this evil? If
not, they should require the Town Marshal and
his assistants to keep daily sentry over the
vehicles of our country friends while in town.
TOWNSMAN.

THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
This valuable property, belonging to the
State of Georgia, has been leased for twenty
years to strong and influential company. A
dispatch from Atlanta gives the following
particulars: =.
In compliance with public notice given by
the Governor in October, bids were received for
the lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
until the 25th instant. On opening them the
road was let to a company of the following gen
tlemen, to wit: John P. King, Joseph E.
Brown, Alexander II. Stevens, John 7: Grant,
Benjamin n. Hill, E. w. Cole, Rich'd Peters,
VIM. g. johnson, VIM: G. Holt, A: ]. White,
c. A. Nutting, Benjamin May, F. Wartzfelder,
George Cook, Thomas A. Scott, VIM. Matthews,
VIM. B. Dinsmore, H. B. Plant, Thomas Allen,
and their associates, making in all twenty
three
Other bids were made, but the parties failed
to comply with the law, rendering insufficient
security. The successful company is one of
the strongest ever formed in the South. The
shareholders represent, in their own right, over
fifteen millions. They give, by securities the
following railroad companies The Georgia,
the Central, the Southwestern, the Macon and
Western, Atlanta and West Point, the Macon
anu Brunswick, and Albany, in Georgia; the
Nashville and Chattanooga, of Tennessee, and
the st. Louis and Iron Mountain, of Missouri.
The Companies signing as securities are
worth twenty millions; the high character of
the lcssees, and the undoubted solvency andthe
large capital of the Company, are ample guar
antees tha. the road will be well managed and
the terms of the lease faithfully complied with.
The rental agreed to be paid to the State is
twenty-five thousand dollars per month for
twenty years, and the road is to be returned in
as good condition, in every respect as it now
is, ut the end of the lease. Ex-Governor joseph
e. Brown resigned his Office as Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court before putting in bis bid,
and has been unanimously elected rs President
of the new Company to whom the road is leased.

State Taxes for the Present Year.

Previous to adjournment for the holidays,
the Legislature levied a tax of nine mills
ninety cents upon every one hundred dollars
worth of property-to defray the expenses of
the State government for the current year, be-
sides giving to County Commissioners the right
of levying a tax of three mills for county pur-
poses. This makes, altogether, S1.20 upon ev-
cry hundred dollars The Radical majority
are thus exemplifying the promised retrench-
ment in the administration of the State gov
ernment. Last year the State tax was five mills,
and the year previous just seven and one-half
,pills.
1t may be necessary, to make up the defci-
ency of tho former administration of Gov.
Scott, and pay the debts already incurred, that
the people shall be taxed to this aggravating
extent None of tue department reports con-
cerning the present condition of our finances
have been published, and it Is impossible to
conjecture the true state of affairs. But We
contend that this necessity for high taxes, if
there be any necessity, has been brought
about by the profgacy and extravaganza Of
the Radical majority, and it is an enormous op.
preston and hardship to make the property.
holders sntfer for their recklessness and mis-
management. Nine-tenths of the property
owners are politically opposed to the Radical

ACTION on,the part Of the Radical majority in
the legislature will intensity their opposition.

the passage of the tax act in the House of Rep

Greenvills and Columbia Railroad.

The Columbia Union says that three new en-
gines for the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
are expected to arrive in few days from the
North, and that the Company intends expend-
ing considerable amount of money in repair
ing the much worn track. Ordinarily, this
would be gratifying news, but we have but lit
tie faith In the promises and intentions OF the
present owners of the Greenville Road. 1t is
less than twelve months since the people OF
this section we're induced to cell their stock to
unknown parties claiming to represent North
ern capitalists and corporations" and the
promises of improvement and enterprising
railroad management were profusely uttered at
that time. But the sequel has proven that the
only Northern capitalists connected with the
Road are men identified with the State Treasu-
ry, and as for improvement and enterprise there
is none of it. Freights. were to be reduced ma
terially, but they have been practically in
creased in many instances. Faster time and
greater regularity in passenger trains was also
predicted. The increased rate of speed result
ted disastrously to the Road, and has been in
gloriously abandoned. The iTregularity and
uncertainty of passenger trains invite dispara-
ging remarks from travellers, and it is fast be-
coming by-word that the train is behind
time" The conclusion is imperative that the
present managers of the Road knew nothing
of its condition when purchased q year ago,
and they have yet to learn the art of improv-
ing and perfecting an old worn-out railway.
Incapacity is the chief characteristic of the ad-
ministration to-day, in our judgment; and
while we were disappointed and chagrined at
the fact that the Road passed into its present
hands, we were disposed to give them fair
trial, and judge of their good faith by their
works. After year of unprecedented busi-
ness prosperity for the Road, We find it going
from bad to worse, Notwithstanding the fire.
quent illusions of late in the daily newspapers
that everything was running prosperously, and
the people of the up-country had reason for

forced to believe that our city contemporaries
are being imposed upon by unscrupulous de-
clarations, intended to assist the present own
ers out of their elephantine dilemma and to
sell the Road

GOVERNOR SCOTT ENDoRsED.-The Hon. A.
P. Aldrich having addressed some inquiries to
an Ohio Democrat, in regard to Gov. Scott, has
received the following reply:
NAPOLEON, Ohio, Dec 2, 1870.
"a. P. Alarich-Dear Sir: Your line to me
of ID instant has been received. In reply,
have to say that 1 have been intimately ac-
auainted with Gov. Scott for over twenty years,
he having all that time been citizen of our
town and County, and have all that time, and
do now, differ with him in politics; yet must
say that the statement made by Col. Wells, in
his printed statement ysn sent me, is substan-
TALLY correct Gov. Scott is high-toned, hon
orable gentleman is q man of truth and integ-
rity and he is, withal, q very kind-hearted man
and if you should have any business with him,
YOU will find him all l have stated. That is
the way he is estimated here by us Democrats
81 wish you and other Democrats of South
Carolina could see and make the acquaintance
of Gov. Scott 1 am satisfied you would feel
differently towards him from what you do now.
Very truly. yours,
JAMES G. HALY."
In communicating this letter to the Barnwell
Sentinel for publication, Judge Aldrich re-
marks:
GAS certainly would have published Mr..
Hays response had it been unfavorable to Gov.
Scott it is but simple justice to give him the
benefit of this very complimentary notice"

Cotton Burnt.

On Sunday night, 25th of December, three

belonged to the merchants of Anderson, and
had been shipped from this depot two days be-
fore. We understand that considerable por-
ton of the cotton was insured. Of course, the
