sembled around the county jail, be-
ing drawn thither by the acts of the
prisoners, which TO say the least OF
it, were somewhat angular. With
sticks and clubs they beat upon the
door, shouting vocifcrously for some
thing TO cat. One OF them, upon be-
ing inter- ogated, said tie nest left
there by the Sheriff SUNK SO that it
made him sick. They had begged
and implorcd for clean food, however
coarse, aud il had been denied them.
One of them exclaimed he would
rather be killed at once than be pois-
oned with putrid meat, while all
begged for somebody TO procure
them food to satisfy their hunger.
This speaks badly for a civilized COM
munity, and we suppose it will not
BE- tolerated longer. The Sheriff get;
the blame for it, and his conduct in
this matter is to be investigated"

A LIST Of sales Of real estate re-
Gently made in South Carolina, viii h
we find in the Charleston Republic
can, is somewhat instructive. The
first is plantation Of $50 in Christ
Church parish, sold for $500 one-
third cash, the balance in one and
two years. The next IL the Moore
land or Bates Hill plantation Of g.
l56 acres, on Pee Dee river, together
with an appurtenant tract on the east
side of the river, sold for Sl,6OO. The
Gilmore plantation, 804 acres, with
an appurtenance of ], 039 acres on the
opposite side of the Pee Dee river,
sold for $1,50. The Holly Grove
plantation, 800 acres, with In sppur-
tcnance Of 1,049 acres, sold for ST.
,275. The Litchfield plantation, L..
G9l acres on Waccamaw river to-
gether with house aud lot on Paw
ley's Island, sold for $1,000. The
Millbrook plsntation, 766 acres on
the Waccamaw, sold for $500. Mill
brook plantation, ON Goose creek,
l,765 acres, sold for $4,000. These
prices seem absurd; yet the sales
are reported by real estate agents az
private, bona fide transactions. They
aggregate II, 900 acres Of plantation
lands, sold for $4,000 or less than
one dollar per acre. Nothing could
more strikingly illustrate the desc.
lating tendencies Of the infamous
government which the powers at
Washington have imposed on the
property holders of that unhappy
State.

Valuable Slate Discovery In

We learn from good authority that
a slate quarry has recently been
found in Carter County, near Car
ter's depot, in East Tennessee, which
promises TO equal in quality aud
quantity any discovered in this
country.
The company, consisting If Messrs.

JONES, of Knoxville, aid W. O..
THOMAS, of Nashville, most of whom
are practical slate men, are now bus
lily engaged in opening the quarry,
and will soon be able to manufacture
states of all sizes for roofing pur-
poses.
The color ofthe slate is dark blue,
resembling the slate raised from the
celebrated quarries in Buckingham
County, Va, which have been prov
en- to be superior to any in the Uni
County, Va, their wages ranging
from two to four dollars per day.

respect as she has been in bequeath.

From the sanguine and energetic
manner in which these gentlemen
nave taken hold of this new cnter-
prise, and the flattering reports we
have from it, we may expect soon to
see a handsome mansard roof, cover

own native Tennessee.

The cheapness, economy, and util-
lily Of slate roofs, is claiming grad
uslly the attention Of capitalists aud
builders in the Western aud South
ern States. The introduction of slate
into these States is Of comparatively |
recent date, having to rely upon the
Vermont and Pennsylvania quarries
previous to the successful operation
of the Virginia quarries.
We hail with pleasure this an
nouncement, as it offers up another |
indu cement to immigration, and
doubtless wills afford employment 10 q
