Newberry.
The Columbia Union, OF yesterday, says
Trial Justice Furman was written for yester-
day to proceed to the plantation of Thomas B.
Wadllngton, In Newberry County. to act as
coroner over the body of one Daniel Meadows,
the Sd by party of disguised men. This Ia
the person of whom we made mention IN yes
terday's paper as having been murdered by
the Ku.Kiux. The report that we then NEIL
toned has proven true. From the same tnfor-
nation we learn that the nominations TOR coun-
ty officers to fill vacancies were made on the
4th Instant
Fairfield.

OF recent Executive appointment, the
Camden Journal saws: "Hls Excellency Gov:
ernor Scott has appointed as auditor our es.
teemed and worthy townsman. James l. Vllle-
picue, ESQ. We do not believe more salts
factory selection could have been made, re-
spect being had TO the wishes of all parties
and classes of the citizens OF the county. We
have heard of no opposition to the appoint
ment except from parties supposed to be in
terested. This action OF the Governor will be
received as an evidence of his sincere desire
to promote the cause Of good government In
the counties as far as his power extends"
The Camden Journal says: .'The not Weatner
noticed as prevailing tor several days previous
to our last issue, has continued with very
slight intermssion through the past week.. 1t
has been favorable on cotton, and great I'M
proyement has taken place In that crop, but
we understand that at several points IN the
district corn begins to suffer for rain. Light
showers have fallen In places, but they are loo
light to be of material benefit"

The Aiken Journal discourses thus of sales-
day in Blackvile: s'There were nore persons
at Backville last Monday than on the previous
sales-day, but not as many as usually turn out,
the farmers being still In the midst OF tne ousy
season, and the success OF the cotton crop
depending upon the work given 1t during the
present month. We inquired of all the plant
ers we conld see, the condition OF crops IN
their respective neighborhoDds, and all con-
curred In the opinion given last sales-day, that
this would be the best season for corn IN
many year. We heard Of one planter VINO
offered to turr Ish, as soon as he could gather
it, two hundred bushels q corn ior one nun ar[l
cents per bushel. We do not think corn will
be that low for more than month or two
after gathering, and would not advise our
planter friends to sell at such figures, though
the grain will be cheaper than at any time
since the war. Some planters informed US
that they had as good cotton crops as they
ever had In their lives; but the majority stated
season. and they calculated upon making
about two.thirds as much as they did last
year."
Spartanhurg.
We learn from the Spartan that s. T. Polnier
and C. L. Casey, accompanied by detachments
of soldiers, have left Spartanburg several
nights recently, and have returned as often.
There was not very large cr0Wd,in town
on sales-day last, says the Spartan, but we do
not think there was ever e:more boisterous
one. Whiskey shops received more than their
share Of patronage, and showed ~nfefesast!ss
their evils.
Mr.. II. NJ. Montgomery died at Limestone
Springs, on Monday, the 18th ulttmo. Mr;
Montgomery was useful and highly respected
citizen, and his death Is a serious loss to the
Community In which he lived, and sad be-
reavement to his family.
A correspondent of the Spartan, writing
from the mountains in the upper part OF this
State, says: ssThe community here have Just
concluded the most ample harvest that they
have had for years. Corn is worth fifty or
sixty cents, aud very little prospect of being
higher. have few hundred bushels on
hand, and the only consolation have Is, that
that It's good thing in family We have
hue prospects for corn, fruit, &c. One ,gra-
cious popularity of this country Is, we have
no dry summers here. Nor do we have
any hurricanes, or storms as as they call them
down the country. The cheese factories are
In active operation, but the great mania is
growing tobacco. suppose Bnncombe Coun;,
ty has at least eighteen to twenty-five hundred
acres planted, and as everybody says, growing
finely. think the excitement Will play OUT
this year. The gathering and curing requires
a good deal of scientific precision; and the
planters will botch it up, get out OF patience
and quit the business. Another circumstance
that Will prejudice the mind of the planters Is,
that the tobacco plant almost literally ruins
the land. 1t must be raised on fresh land, 10
be fine, and after the second crop on the same
land. corn or wheat will scarcely grow at all.
Il has to be sown in clover for two or more
wears before II can be restored"
