put the question to Butler: What will
the people of South Carolina think Of John
after what he has snid and dono for them in
the last few days?"
Patterson has never boon hated by the
people of South Carolina as bitterly as has
been imagined up North" said Butler, de-
liberatcly. lie has never been regarded as
the worst of the carpet baggcrs, and in many
respects he has enjoyed better personal
rcpnic thnn any of them. lie is, rs you sce
man OF strong enthusiasm, and weak. or, at
least. not independent judgment. When ho
was acting with the Republican party, he
went his length in seconIing all its moves and
executing oil its mandates. cxcusing himsolf
on the ground TINT everything is fair in poll
tics. But he never has been q really bad
man in his own impulses. He and arc no
more aliko than tho two antipohcs. and yet
havo always felt kindly towards him, because
whatever else he might do, he would keep his
word rcligously and was consistent with
himself"
"iIow will South Carolina road Johns de-
fensc of her as twill be printed in the Record

Rev. DR.. Breaker, who has been on q visit
to Wnlhala, writes to the Baptist Courier as
fhIlows:
Wnlhalla is by far q more important place
than J. supposed before coming here. 1t is
nearly three miles through the town. and if
its width was proper tomato to its length it
would be quite city. For some reason, not
explained, those who settled the place pre-
frrrcd to buid along the main street. Ii is
now gradually extending its lateral dimens
Siuns.
There arc four churchcs-Bnp,st Prcsby
terrain Lutheran und Mc,hodist--nll having
excellent church buildings except the las,
named. 1t being tho first built. is not equal
to those more recently constructed. All the
churches have efficient pastors and arc in II
prosperous condition. The Sunday Sch,ol
work is well done.
There are two colleges-malc and female
III successful operation. These schools have
tho tult support Of the town and surrounding
country. They arc worthy of general pa,rn~
mage, and are gradually drawing to them the
support Of sections moro remote.
The mercantile business of the place is
we'll represented. There is one bank in the
| town. which is said to bc doing large
amount Of business.
At convenient distances along the main
street arc largo cisterns to supply water in
case of lire, while Just in the centre is the en-.
gine house. The place is we'll supplied with
water Of excellent quality.
Altogether E.alhalln is ono Of tho most
delightful places ever visited The people
are proud of the place and Of each other. Soo
cicty is excellent and if | know orc wh
wished to secure homo whore health. g,o,l
society, educational facilities and churcl,
privileges were happily combined, would
say go to Walhala!
1t is to be hoped that the Blue Ridge Rails
road, which has its present terminus at this
place, will be completed before long. Its
completion would DO Of incaiculubtc benefit
both to South Carolina and East Tennessee
Cannot something be done to open this grca,
channel of trade?
MEssRs EDlToHs Permit me. if you please
to say word to the people and law officers
Of tho land through tho COURIER. The law OF
the United States forbids any man from ma
king and selling Intoxicating & liquors withou,
the proper and legal permission from Tho
,cgal source, and for the purpose Of catching
and having The breakers of the law punished
tho snid United Safes has appointed in cacl
county officers for said pur,,nsc. Yet we art
overrnn with wh>kcy wagons from one Cd
Of the county to the ether, in hr Dad daylish,
selling whiskcy toany ono. in any quantity
and officers of tho law lying qnict, making nc
effort to arrest tho lawlcss. I think the
present olicers had better resign and let some
one else take their places, and if others among
us can't arrest let the United States send n
power here that can. and don't let the moral
and well thinking and acting people be over
