SALES.DAY.

On Monday last -sales.day for September
there was an unusually large gathering Of
people in town from the country, it being 8
leisure time with the farmers, who, during the
summer months, have been attentive to theil
crops. From all with whom we conversed
we learn that the present crop prospect in all
sections of the county Is good. Cotton is
opening satisfactorily, and several bales of the
new crop will doubtless be ready for market
in few days.

the following was sold under writs of fl. ta.:
Two tracts of land belonging to the estate
of George Barber, deceased. Tract No. l,

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
CuEsTER Sentember 6. 18

CHESTER, September 6, 1875.
The orders Of the postofice authorities al
Washington, in reference to the carrying of
the Carmel Hill and Baton Rouge mail, have
not been very pleasing to the people living
along the line of that route. The officials al
the national capital, concerned in the matter
seem to have acted upon the idea that the
route was established for the benefit of the
contractor or mail carrier, and not for the
benefit of the people, This is not generally
the reason for the establishment of mail routes,
though it may be 80 in this particular case.
I take it that the wishes and interest of the
good people of Carmel Hill and Baton Rouge,
ofthis county, are as worthy Of consultation by
the government as those of the Club, " around
which the rest of the country so Loyalty and
lovingly revolves. To begin at the beginning,
the mail route from Chester to Carmel Hill,
and from that point to Baton Rouge, was es.
tablished some time ago throug the efforts OF
the Congressman from this District A.
S. Wallace As the mail facilities of large
portion of the county we're confined to this
route. it was very essential that the mail rider
should take his departure from this point on
Friday, so that be could carry along the
YoRxv1LLE ENQUIRER, the Charleston Ne,us
and Courier, and the Chester Reporter, of the
same week. This he did for q time. Then
came an order from Washington appointing
Wednesday as the day of departure of the
mail carrier from this point. This excited
the just indignation of the people and of the
postmasters of Carmel Hill and Baton Rouge,
who informed the department of their inten.
ton of resigning their positions if the order
was not countermanded. The proprietor of
the Reporter and the representatives of the
ENQUIRER also joined in the warfare against
the unjust and absurd order. The conse-
quence of the opposition was the re-designa-
ton of Friday as the day for the carrying of
the mail. This arrangement was continued
for good while, to the great satisfaction of
the Carmel Hill and Baton Rouge people.
But about two weeks ago another order came
from Washington fixing again upon Wednes-
day as the mail day. The Postmaster at this
place announced his willingness to please the
people, and also his unwillingness to disobey
the new order; so the mail left here, carrying
about halfa dozen letters and no papers. The
necessary steps were on the eve of being taken
to secure countermanding of the order, when
the Washington authorities did the work of
their own accord, and have again appointed
Friday as the day for the carrying of the Car.
mel Hill and Baton Rouge mail. So this is
the way the matter stands at present, and it
is to be hoped that it will stand "just 80" for
considerable time to come; al least until a
semi.weekly mail is given unto the people
living along the line of the route, when
Wednesday can be selected as one Of the days

FINE VEGETABLES.

Mr.. J. H. Crawford, who lives near Phila.

season in the production of fine cabbage. He
favored US with sample of his crop one day
last week, which. stripped of outside leaves,
weighed II! pounds. In the production ofhia
mammoth cabbages, Mr.. Crawford enriched
the land with free application Of stable
manure, but otherwise bis mode of culture
was the same as that generally adopted.
Master Willie Ferguson favored US, on
Thursday morning last, with basket OF
hnge sweet potatoes, of which he has an acre
growing, cultivated mainly by his own labor.

FLORENCE.
The PInaI Mines.

FLORENCE, July 8.-Flourish-
ing reports come daily to hand of
the Pinal mines. The latest dis
coveries are the Josephine and
the Pike mines. Professor Shaw,
of Camp Mcdowell, with whom
we had a conversation yesterday,
said the Josephine was a true
assure vein of the Silver King; it
is traceable on the surface for
nearly mile in length, extensions
of which have been taken up by
certain prominent citizens of Tue
son. The ledge on the surface
shows a mineral cropping vein
seven inches in width, and thus
far has given fair evidence of an
increase in each descending foot.
Several specimens Of native silver
from this vein are now on exhibit
tiOn al Florence. The Pike mine
is an extension of the Josephine
and Bids fair to give good pro-
spects in rendering IFS owner a
fortune in less than six months.
The embOWelling of the famous
Silver King still continues at an
astonishing rate. The main shaft
which has been enlarged 6 by II
feet reached the depth of 40 feet
last evening. The average yield
thus for has given a net profit of
5000 dollars per ton. The silver
smelling works erected in north
Florence by Messrs Arey and
! Hughes have proved a success,

MINES AND MINING.

The McCracken mine, in Owen
district, Mohaye county,is believ-
ed to be the richest silver ledge
ever discovered. AS they go
down upon their shafts the lode
becomes wider and richer. This
mine has been sold to a San Fran
cisco Company, called the "Sena-
tor ConsOlidated.H Coz. Buel is
erecting reduction works at Will
liamS Fork, to work the ore from
this mine. These works, we are
informed will soon be completed.
Barges 3 and 4, which passed
down the river a few days ago,
Carried one hundred and eighty
tons of argentiferous ore from the
Flora Temple" and Hopkins
mines, Castle Dome District. This
ore will go to San Francisco by
the next trip Of the Ne1obeyn.
Mexicans are still bringing in
placer gold from the country
around ella City. Mr.. Lang,
keeper of the station at that place,
brought in the other day some
pieces of rock from a ledge which
he discovered in that neighbour
hood. The rock has not yet been
tested, but has the appearance of
being rich in silver. The ledge
is eight feet in thickness.
Work at the PicachO mill is pro-
crossing finely and with crafty
ing results. The cIean-ups seem
to be very satisfactory to the COM
pany. The mine is increasing in
richness as the shafts descend, al
though the ineXhaustable supply
of ore on the surface pays well
enough. We regard this mine
as one of the permanent paying
institutions of the country.
