To OUR FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY
Incidents frequently occur in this OF
adjacent Counties, an account of which
if properly reported to US, would ado
interest to our columns. We therefore
ask our friends in the different sections
to drop us line, whenever anything
unusual occurs in their neighborhood
It is not necessary that long article
ready for the press, should be written
All we ask is the "points"-the date
names of the parties and the nature OF
the occurrence, correctly stated.

CHANGE AT THE DEPOT. We learn
that DR.. J. w. w. Marshall, long the
well-known and efficient agent of the
G. & c. Railroad at this place, has re-
signed his position, and that Mr.. G. V.
Hammond, equally we'll known as the
polite and acceptable conductor and ex-
press agent, will likely receive the ap-
pointment. DR.. Marshall has given
satisfaction, as well to his employees as
to the public generally, and we feel as
sured that in Mr.. Hammond we shall
have an officer equally competent and
trustworthy. The Company at this
place has been fortunate always in being
represented by active and competent
officials.

man, for twenty years the proprietor of
that paper, who died on Thursday of

Whilst driving restive mule, in the
funeral procession of his brother-in-law,
G. NJ. Roper, Esq, he was thrown sud-

A FALSE ALARM.-There was con-
siderable excitement in Columbia
among some of the officials last week,
over report that a company of seventy
mounted Gcorgians were about making
raid OH the town. The Governor and
Senator Patterson applied for gurrd OF
U. S. troops which was refused, where
upon these officers took bed with
Captain Lloyd of the garrison, and pass
ed the night securely. 1t was a false
alarm growing out of the blowing OF
horns by party of fox-hunters across
the river in Lexington County.

Insurance Convention, which met at
the Bath Adam Springs, Virginia, and
gives a pleasant account of his trip.
His route was through Richmond and

bushels to the acre. Gen. Beauregard,
Gen. Gary, and other Southern notables
were at the White sulphur. There was

SENATOR PATTERsoN's SPEECH

SENATOR PATTERsoN's SPEECH at
Beaufort last week, was highly parti-
san effort, sustaining the Civil Rights
bill, eulogizing Republican Iule In the
State at the expense of Democratic, and
appealing to the fears Of the blacks on
the subject of Ku-Klux outrages. He
denounced the rife clubs of the State,
and promised the power of the General
Government to suppress these and all
ku-klux organizations. He declared
against Moses, and avowed himself as
supporter of Chamberlain.

The Phoenix and Ourselves.

We cheerfully accept the anaendc OF
the Paenis, and fully endorse the sentl-
ment, that sswe can't afford to quarrel
with our contemporaries, nor do with
out the esteem of our friends" we
trust that the little sparring will only
manifest the kindly feeling, and the
slight difference the real points OF un-
ion which exist between us.
So much for matters personal; but we
must say a word in reply to the argu-
ment in behalf of Tax-Unions. And here
let US state at the outset that there ap-
pears to be some confusion in the ideas
of our friend. He seems to admit that
resistance to government is revolution,
but that resistance to rapacity is not
resistance to government" AS q mat
ter of course if the resistance Is exerted
through the constituted forms, and le-
gally authorized channels, it is not rev.
olution, because it is not resistance to
government, but proper use OF It's ma"
chinery to punish those who have
absed its powers. But how do the Tax
Unions propose to offer resistance to
rapacity ?" Is it by refusing to pay the
taxes? Then we say that this is resis-
tance to the power of the government
this is revolution. Our friend seems to
make the character Of the act depend
rather upon the causes which justify it,
than upon the "mode and measure OF
redress" For the purposes of the argu-
ment we do not see that it matters at all
whether the government collects one
million or ten millions, and expends
the money honestly, or squanders it all.
If the resistance be made to the law,
when executed by its regularly constitu-
ted officials, it is revolution, though that
government be the most rapacious under
the sun. Whether or not revolution be
justifiable is another question. IRE
sistance to tyrants is obedience to God, "
but it is none the less revolution. That
notification" was peaceful remedy
was favoritc doctrine of the strict
States Rights party, but we do not sup
pose that any follower of Calhoun was
hardy enough to urge its application to
the State law as executed by the State
functionarics.
We dislike even to seem to differ from
our brethren upon matters of great pub
lie policy, and are disposed to offer our
views with becoming modesty, but we
must be allowed to express our opinion,
that the Tax-Unions in seeking to resist
the payment of taxes, or trying to con-
troll their application, have mistaken
the proper field of their operation by at
tempting too much. TO accomplish
the first they must array themselves
against the whole power of the State
and Federal Governments; whilst the
last would seem to be perfectly futile to
men who neither part nor lot in the
Government. Reform must commence
at the polls, in purging the ballot-box,
and thus purifying the Governmental
in the Courts by bringing offenders tt
condign punishment. Such are the
ends which organization may be eftectu-
al to subserve, and in the furtherance OF
which, the sympathy, and support OF
all good and true men may be relied on.
