apart from casualties of foods and
lres, but the annual cost Of repairs
caGhot be less than ten per cent,
or 81, 100000, equivalent to a tax
Of forty cents an acre on all
improved lands in the State, or
eight per cent. of its value, being
just eight times the rated tax,
State and County, we will have to
pay on the same property next
year. To this should be added at
least seven per cent interest on
the original cost, making the tax
fifteen per cent, or seventy-hvc
cents per acre. Experience has
established that this tax is lighter
than the damages that would re-
suit from insufficient fencing for
protection. Yetit is probable that
all the stock permitted to run at
largein the State, for whose benefit
this burdensome expenditure is ex-
acted, if taken direct from their sew
eral ranges and sold in market
would scarcely realize the expenses
of our fences, or even the half of it.
Taking these figures as approx
imately accurate, the question
which presents itself to the mind
Of the political economist is, may
not these enormous expenditures
required before farming can be
commenced, be diverted and made
more productive by ditferen; appli-
cation without prejudice to the
general prosperity and wealth Of
the country.
There are some other sugges-
tions in this pamphlet to which |
will ask the attention ofyour read

the title of THE PROGRESSIVE AGE.
The limits of u prospectus do not admit of
minute dclineation Of all the features of
the contemplated journal. |. will be suffi-
cieDt TO Indicate itS general character. The
character Of the Progressive Age will be a
newspaper in the widest meaning of the
term, embracing within its columns all infor-
nation useful md instructive to the public.
In Politics it will be Liberal and Conserva-
tive, wkie the most strenuous efforts will be
used in the dissemination of important polit-
ical intelligence. On all subjects its opin-
ions will be advanced boldly and fearlcssly.
It's best en@rgies, regardless Of personal in
terests or party predictions, shall be devo-
ted 10 the right Of every man, to his own
political views, and to the free and untram-
mcled exercise of his own opinions, speech
and suffrage.
No measure of Reform will be advocated
simply because it is new. and no error in
policy will be sustained, though itmay have
the sanction and approval OF long estab-
lished usage
Asa literary and family newspaper, its Sc
lcctions will be such as shall be wholesome
and agreeable to the old, as we'll as furnish
Ing instructive and pleasant rea0lng 10 the

ricultural interests Of the State shall receive

mandS. The Progressive Age will contribute
its mite to the development OF her immense
resources, and to foster the arts and sciences |
which minister TO the well-being OF her peo-
pie. 1t shall be insisted, too, that Newberry, |
where We have located shall partake of ,he !
general prosperity, with no attempt TO dis |
parage the local advantages Of other towns !
and sections. The latest intelligence, both !
Foreign and Domestic, will be carefully re-
ported. For this end the Telegraph, and all |
o:ber measures within the reach of the un-
derSigneI, shall be laid under contribution.

erce to obsolete usages and forms which the pro-
gress of Society is determinedly throwing Of"
I'd. The State is enriched in proportion as the
permanency Of her citizenship is secured. 10
effect this end, land pSoprietoIs should be en-
ccuraged to offer their lands en- such terms Snd

Joseph Carroll, ablebodied seaman, testi.
fed Went on lookout the night Of the dis
aster at 2 o'clock A. NJ. Was stationed in
No. house, forward of the bridge. The
night was calm but q little hazy. The wind
was right abeam. Could see out on both
sides of the vessel. Was looking out for
light as knew that we were making land
and that the coast was dangerous. Remained
on lookout until the ship struck. Was
going pretty fast; should judge about 10
knots. About s org minutes before the ship
struck saw the breakers first and then land
on the starboard bow. Sung out "Breakers
ahead" to the officers on the bridge. Did not
hear breakers at all. Stood about 80 yards
from the bridge. Am sure my cry 'Breakers
ahead" was heard by the second officer. Do
not think that even if the engine had been re-
versed the ship could have been prevented
from sinking. Never spoke tie the officer be-
fore giving warning. Remained on lookout
houre till five minutes after the ship struck.
Examined by Mr.. McDonald-Received
only usual orders when l went on duty. At
ter left the lookout I went aft and helped
get the boats clear.
