The Boston Commercial Bulletin furn-
ishes the following item, which shows how
rapidly manufactures are supplying a
home market for surplus breadstuffs:
The soap fancy factory of-,at Springfield,
Mass, is of the largest concerns of the kind In
New England. Their factory is 100 feet long, 50
wide, three stories In height filed with new
chinery, much of which is Of their own invention.
This is driven by a steam engine of fifty horse
power. They employ constantly fifteen twenty
hands, and turn out over seventy-fye tons of soap
per week.
The soap manufactured by this firm is
protected by tax of 10 cents per pound
in other words, the people of the whole
country are taxed for the benefit of this
firm IL cents per pound on all the SOAP
they use, and the consideration they give
is, that they hire one man who eats bread
for every three and three tourths tons Of
soap they make The soap is, in fact
made by machinery, which eats no corn
nor pork, but the tax is collected all the
same, to support the home market"

The Removal of the County Seat.
Mr.. EDITOR: What do you think of
the project in tho minds Of no i'tconsid'
cradle portion; Of the people of che 10th
orSaluda Regiment as to the propriety
and practicability of fremoving the Court
House, Jail, dc, from Edgefield to ] ohn- an
ston's Depot and makingth thetCognT
sty seat? That. there is such a profession
foot may be somewhat startling news to
you Edgefeld people, but I think it
nothing but fair that you should be made
acquainted with the wishes of Il large
majority of the people on this side OF: the
County in reference to this matter. we
are in for the movement, and will sup
port it with OUR. influence and Yotesin
the next election.
lst. Because Edgetield is sovery inac'
cessible to a very large majority Of the
people of the 10th Regiment, andJohn-
ston's Depot so accessible by Railroad'to
great many of US, and to the remainder
is no farther by our customary way OF
travelling than Edgefield.
I'd. Because Johnston's is market
town and shipping point.fo the majority
of the people residing in that large scope
Of country reaching from Mountain Creek
to the Saluda, and being necessitated to
go to Johnston's in connection with our
domestic affairs, we could at the same
time attend to our legal and public mat
ters, thereby saving trip over the abom-
inably bad roads leading to EdgetieiG.
ad. Because by changing the county
seat to Johnstons we entertain the hope
that we could thereby break up the very
corrupt and rotten Radical Ring now'al
most impregnably rooted at EdSefieid
c. Fl for RaSicalism, as you must Know
Mr.. Editor, is at very low ebb at john
ston's, and is likely to remain so.
4th Because the people of Johnstons
are Railroad, enterprising, public-spirit-
ed, go-ahead men, and our County pride
prompts us to wish TO- County seat I'M
bued with like spirit Of enterprise and
progress.
We have other reasons to offer in favor
of this change of the county seat, but
will reserve them for another time. In
the meantime, Mr.. Editor, think over
the matter, and then quietly gather up
your Editorial corps, printers, type, press
es, devil and all, and strike out for John
ston's, where we will give you a lively
reception and warm welcome. The olc
ldUe,tiscr is one of the few institutions
of the'country in which we have right
to cherish an honest pride, and let the
County seat be where it may, we mus
have the ever true old Aduertiser will
us and of us.
But more anon. And in this matter
as in all others of public nature, let u'
be prepared to abide
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

What a RAILROAD HAS DoNE.-The
Atlanta Constitution says of Gainesville
1.-TWO years ago there were not five
hundred inhabitants, and not single
house had been built IN twelve years now
there are at least t,centy. .fve hundred IN
ha5uants, and since then not less than
three hundred houses hare been built
In 1870 there was less than 1000
worth of merchandise, all told, sold in the
place. Last year the sales Of merchan-
disc footed up the grand sum of $3.50, 600
nearly half million.
In 1870 the assessed value Of all the
property in the town, both real and Pc per
ssonal, was $4,000; in 1872 it was $47S,-
900. (Ths corporation has not been en-
largely
sold by planters in this market; in 1872
there were over t,certy-three hundred bales
sold by planters to the merchants here
and from three to four hundred shipped
by planters at this point-making some
two thousand seven hundred bales in all
shipped from Gainesville last year.

CorroY Worms IN ALABANA.-The
Montgomery Advertiser says: The worm
is more destructive where not checked by
Paris green than ever before known. They
make a clear sweep of fields in half the
time which they have heretofore allowed
themselves. No matter how much Paris
green may be used, the cropin Montgom-
cry, Lowndes and Bullock will be short
far beyond expectation. We have in our
Office a stalk Of cotton pulled up at ran
don yeste rday by gentlemen who was
coming into Montgomery from Union
Springs. It was out Of field about ten
niles from the city, which averages FIVE
or si1 feet in height The worms, Judging
from this specimen, and We are assured
it is fair sample of the entire field, will
leave nothing to pick.

DIR. M. w. ABNEY, Edgcfeld c. RI
Dear ,Sir-In reply to your favor o.
22d, will say the Road that we have built
is far from being failure, as many have
supposed. 1t is true we have made some
mistakes in the construction OF our
Road, which others, who. intend con-
structing similar roads, could profit by.
The main errsr was in laying down
stringers. We had them saved too
Slight; they should have been s, all
heart,-and instead of spiking them
down to the cross tie, let themAnto the
tie, and pin them obliquely, from the
outer side of the stringer.
With the distance you mention you
certainly can do all the work with a
Wooden Road, and although Iron is a
great deal better, still the Wooden Road
is far preferable to waGoning.
The locomotive we have at present on
our Road is not sufficient for the bust
ness. Therefore we have contracted, and
expect in short time, another OF u
heavier class, and greater power.
We also think narrow gauge would
do better, but think it advisable to COLI
form to the gauge Of connecting Roads,
as should you feel able to put down Iron
at any time, it could savea great deal by
using the rolling stock of other Roads,
and expense of breaking bulk.
We shall certainly continue our Road
in operation, as it comes up to what we
anticipated, although we made the mis-
take of Quitting too light machinery for
the business of the Road. For the dis
tance of your Road, our locomotive
would fully do your work.
I When we get our new locomotive out
I will inform, you, and if you will come
out then, you can judge more fully what
we can do. With the present locomo-
ton we are moving daily about 30 tons
of freight down and the same up. and
our Road is l3 miles long.
Any further information we can give
you at any time, will take pleasure in
doing so.
Yours, Respectfully,

For the Advertiser.

Mr.. EpIToR,-The signs Of the times
are many hued, but the prevailing ten
dency is downward. We see, on the one
hand, advocates for social equality be
tween the blacks and whites,-or ut least
an advocacy of that which must lead to
it,-and we see the departure from the
old landmarks, that this isawhite mans
country, &c.-all of which, in their re
suits, will prove degrading to the white
race. Yet these movements are headed
by the wise and the great, the quondam
leaders of the people. On the other hand
are the masses struggling TO keep up the
superiority of our race. They see, Sir.
Mt last, that all those ideas OF conciliating
the blacks for political purposes, while
they were lowering in tone, have proved
futile in policy There is no use of at
tempting to disguise the fact, the blacks
wiu not cast in their lot with us. We
may go over to them if We choose, but
the very instant we should take such q
step, they would make the political issue
.one OF. races. Why then should VIC not
"take time by the forelock" and make
the issue ourselves? Whether the in
terestS of the two races in South Carolina
are identical, or not, is very doubtful
question, and it certainly does not be-
come US to work for such consumma
ton, when the colored race oppose it. 1t
has the appearance, sir, Of
"Meanness and weakness, and sense Of
woe,
'Gainst which we will not strive, and
dare not murmur."
If our interests are the same, the ulti-
matum mii Je Sacial cqnaAty--thc pre-
cursoro Of amalgamation. II they be an
tagonistic, we may assist time i'll work
ing ont happy arbitrament. The truth
is often unpalatable but it is always cx
pedicnt to know it. We must make the
political issue an issue of raceS We must
potc for a. b. because he is Il whifc man,
simply this and nothing more,-provi-
ded, always, he he honest and capable.
In this way we will drive every white
man from the opposite party, and if they
he unfit to work with us, at any rate they
cannot work against us. We may hope
too, by such course, to enlist the sym
pathlos and moral support of the white
universe, which we will find in the FIJI
rnrc is not to be cOntellfncd,
"Hct, what though no surcOr advances,
Nor Christendom's chivalrons lances
Are stretched in our aid?-Bc the conf
bat our own,
And we'll perish or conquermor proud
ly alone
BY all means, let us eschcw, for the
sake of posterity. if not for our OWN,
every leaning towards equality i'll society.
or union in politics; forthc last but leads
to the first, and they both are but the be-
ginning of the end to which we are so
pnrtentously drifting. The oak may he
bent and swayed by tho winds, 10 be-
como the more beautiful and majestic
afterwards; but the tree that of lis own
defects and decay leans, must fall pros
tratc. So the nation or race which, from
its own improvisation AID corruption,
leans from that high and upright position
which God has given it, mast sink into
dehasement, degradation and irrevocahlc
ruin. IT. J.

THE Boston Post says: "After the re-
cent exposures in the Republican party,
the Democrats are summoned to stand
firmer than before. BY reiterating their
determination to adhere to principles
whose abandonment is the whole cause
of present troubles, they arc doing their
best to testify to that living faith. And
the Maryland Democrats answer prompt
ly to the proclamation of those of Maine,
taking up the noble declaration of the
Ohio brethren and making them the
platform OF the Democracy of Maryland
and the Union. In the face Of such vi
tality Is this the Republican journals
assume that the Democratic party is in a
moribund condition. 1t is renewing its
youth instead. The Administration is
yet to find that its vigor will cost much
severe exertion to contest. Everywhere
over the Union the cry of reform is 60
ing up, and the corruptions of Congress
and the Administration are denounced
by tho people. The Democracy have or
ganized the opposition, and must con-
duct it to eventual victory
