The EMMA MINE SuIr.-The New

mine, for advances Of money made by him,
and us the superintendent of the mine.
Silas Williams, who was charged by the
Nation with Sailing" the mine, to aid
the sale, has sued that paper for libel,
the affairs of Emma would seem to be 10
a way to be thoroughly ventilated. We
do not expect, however, that anything
will be brought out to change the main
facts already known-that Mr.. Park, Mr..
Stewart and Mr.. Baxter, sold mine to
an English company at large price |;
that the mine paid as well as it was ex-
pected to, for nearly a year after that
then the supply Of rich ore failed and the
mine ceased to be profitable. though still

really diminishing the price of the paper We

Should Gov. Chamberlain once

destroyed the last barrier that has
been reared against crime during the

State Of South Carolina worse than
ithe irst. By losing tho confidence
of the honest people of tho State,
