pleading the cause OF those who have no
voice, who oannot be heard-exposing
his breast against the sharp prejudices
and bristling passions Of mon. He tells
his countrymen Of their errors-of the
cruel injustice and wrong they are per-
petuating. With all the zeal and warmth
and vigor of his nature. he endeavors to
wean them from the bloody shambles of
an old feud into the pleasanter walks of
peaos. He warns them against the evils
of divided, torn and distracted coun-
try. Before the mad music of their
march had died away among the peace
full hills, he faced the conquerors and
asserted the rights of the conquered. 1t

Excitement has been rife in the vioi-
nifty Of Mars Bluff, 8. c.. recently,
caused by the killing of Will Myers, CO.
lored. by Smiley Bighams. and the
wounding of his wife by l.. s. Bigham.
The circumstances were as follows:
Will had rcnted land from Bigham,
but had failed to comply with the agree
ment, and left the place more than a
month ago, but returned to tho field on
Thursday, with his wife md children,
and began to pick cotton. Smiley Big
ham nnd his father went to where they
were, and claimed the cotton. Smiley
took hold of Wills basket, to keep him
from moving it from the field, when Will
spring furiously at him with stick and
felled him to the ground, and jumping
on him, gougod his eyes fearfully. Smi-
ley, whilst down, drew pistol and fred
two shots into Willis body; then. extri-
eating himself, rose aud fired two more.
Will lived three hours.
While Will had Smiley Bigham down,
l.. 8. Bigham started to his assistance,
when Willis wife sprang on him; he
drew pistol, and inflicted two painful
flesh wounds, but she wrested the pistol
from his hands and fed from the scene
Of conflict. At 2 o'clock, the following
night, number of persons collected
with arms in front Of Bigham's gate,
yelling and firing volley, but not at the
house, until the last gun, which Init the
house. Bigham's family, Mr.. Venters
and DR.. Miller were in the house at the
time, the latter attending the wounded.
On Friday, DIR. Miller was called to
DeWitt's Bluff to amputate the hand Of
man who was injured in the machinery
OF the steamer Planter. After he was
through, and whilst on his return, at 8
o'clock P. NJ, by the place of Bigham,
he heard firing. He told them that it
was an act of barbarity that only savsges
would be guilty of, to fire into mans
family, and if they had any thing against
Bigham, call him to account away from
his family. The firing ceased and the
parties left.-Marion Star.

aimed, has crumbled into dust, the prin-
ciples which he fought to establish, have
been planted in eternal rocks, and now
the cronwing gl1ly of his life is, to erect
a temple whose foundations shall be laid
in the hearts of his countsy-men, and
which towering above the clouds, shall
be a shining mark, for the admiration and

emancipation from slavery, has ever been
to him dear as the apple of his eye. and
Who are the recipients of its greatest
blessings, have, now. that the great
work, is TO be crowned, turned their
backs upon their benefactor, and those
upou whom his heavies blows have fallen,
now recognizing the integrity and purity
OF his chaaacter. and the moral grandeur
of his devotion to elevated principles,
hail him as he comes with peace upon
his lips, as the sanie fearless Chantpien of
human rights.

been in his adherence to principles, we
feel, when he extends his hand, "across

is no hypocrisy or treachery in the sound,

might be named berein, but who for the

The Republican papers boast u great
deal Of Grants splendid record as a SOL
tiicr, and even insinuate that if he Is
wanting in other respects he ought to be
elected OH this gound. To us It's seems
strange doctrine. For President we
want statesman, md not q soldier, and
it Grant possessed the military. renown
of Napoleon or Alexandcr-if nations
bowed to his will as subseryiently us he
wishes the people of South Carolina, we
would regard this MS no recommendation,
il, he was devoid of s;aiesmanship.
But where is Grants splendid record
as soldier, so bonstfully referred to?
He took command of the Union Army
when the Confederate forces were re-
duccd by desc, ton to Mt least one half !;
and even then, with ports open to the
whole world, with arms Of every degree
of Improvement, with ali army swelled
to four or five times the Confederate by
hirclings from every .soreign country, and
recruits from dcnscly populated States,
he extended the time four years to crush
the little Southern band, who were cut
off by powerful blenkading fleet from
all external aid.
An easy victory was open to a man of
the most ordinary ability.
The Union army may well be proud of

The Orangeburg News calls upon tho
TINES to show "where Grant got the
worst of it" in the Alabama Claims ques-
zion.
Indeed, Mr.. News! So you think
Grant GOT THE BEST OF IT tt,eh2. Well,
we must confess we never took that view
of the subject before. Our position was
that the United States got the worst Of
1t, in the lowering of the national dig
nifty, by Grants unjustifable claims for
indirect damages, 5and his subsequent
yielding from the menaces Of England,
but we never meant to insintiate that
Grant GOT ANYTHING AT ALL Fon Ills
BACK DOWN.
We charged him with imbecility and
lack of executive ability or frmness, but
in our charity we withheld the imputa-
ton of corruption. Our eyes are now
opened, however, and that too by our OPP
ponent.
When we connect this expression of
the Orangeburg News with the following
significant sentence from the London
Echo: "The INTEREST of England will
be best furthered by Grants re- election
we are constrained to fear that there
may be something more serious in this
little Alabama game than VIC Mt first an
ticipa:ed.
We hope these thinga will be cleared
up, for Grant, poor fellow. is so Ear in
the background now that We are not dis
posed to be hard on him.

COMMUNICATED.
Duty of the Agriculturaliss.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Thcre is q disposition
on the part of many farmers, either 10
sell out, and move to our villages and
towns where they can engage in mercan-
tile business, or 60 to a new counsy win.
the hope of bcitcring their fortunes.
O;he-s, hating TO sever The ties that bind
them to their homes, build little shops,
and in connection with their farming
interests, carry on n precarious business
the best ofdoublful rropriety as to honesty
the former of these classes does mischief,
because il drains the farming districts
=,sot only VI c'tpitai and skill guined by
experience, but carries away the strong
and active youths, thus hurting the NOR
al one OF The country. The latter does
still IL grcatcs mischief, because it lowc,s
The position Of The profession and weak
els its influence among the pursuits Of
life. Th;, is an injury that cannot be
repaired by the government which now
rules the country but may be made less
hurtiul by force of high moral piincip-
les.
To arrest these evils then, it becomes
the duty of the agr.cultu list to make his
profession not only profitable, but at
traciiye and intellectual. He must use
every effort 10 raise it above its present
position, and give it influence in our
social and political system. To do this,
planters us a class must urge such mea-
sures as will accomplish the desired end.
They must be educated to adopt their
tastes and habit to the condition of the
country and the circumstances by which
they are surrounded. Such All intellectu-
al interest and attractivenss must be
thrown around the profession as will
make our farmers satisfied with their
pursuits, and their families love Che
homes of their bi.th.
The conditions of climate, soil, mar
ket, and other things which character
ize our coun.y make the business of the
planter exceedingly difficult and iis
profits at all times uncertain. Indeed,
the former to be successful, requires as
much varied knowledge and business
tact as any man in the county; and the
wonder is not that SO many fail, but that
SO many do succeed. Much of this, be-
fore the war, was due to the abundance
and cheapness Of labo., and the ability
Of the farmer to fell the forest and plant
the virgin soi:. Now 1t is quite different.
The freedman is unwilling to perform
such hard work, and if willing would de-
mand too much wages so the plauter is
obliged to fall back upon his poor soil
and the use of commercial fertilizers.-
The effect of this ante belum system was
gradually to reduce three-ifths of the
planting lands of our country 70 quar-
ter or less degree ofsimpoverishmcnt, of
while one-ii,th, perhaps, barely holds its
own in point of.iertility and the remain
ing fitths SO cultivated as to grow richer
year after year. Nor will this state of
things cease until intelligence becomes
tho basis of success, and the laws of sci
ence direct the skill of the aericulturist
itnd the inventions vi the mechanio.--
The successful planters of to-day are
just such men who have thrown aside
the old notions, have taken up the en-
ginca and the principles of the new age

AS the campaign advances, the blunder
of the Republicans in their choice of
candidates becomes more apparent
Both of their Standard-bearers have
rendered themselves odious to the for
cign American population, either by
word or deed.
Carl Schurz, the great German cam
paign speaker, says thas he is prepared
to prove to his people that Grant in the
Franco-German war took sides with
France, and even entered into n compact
with some of. his friends TO- sell arms to
that country. Mr.. Voorhees, also in his
excellent speech in Indiana, showed that
Grant had furnished the French enough
arms for 10000 men, and adds that
"this sinister and revolving fact does not
rest upon Democratic testimony, but upon
that of the oldest and ablest Republi-
cans"
| The IRISH WORLD also publishes in a
prominent place several extracts from a
speech made by Henry Wilson several
years ago, in which he denounces foreign
crs in the most abusive and scurrilous
language. and makes the most odious
comparisons between them and Ameri-
cans. 5
When we consider that the foreign ell
cmens in the United STATES is very large,
we do not think that this record of the
Republican Standard bearers will be
very advantageous to them.
