AS the correspondence from this part of
the County has, for few weeks past failed
to reach you in time for publication, we
now embrace the opportunity TO give you
the "dots' from this community covering
the interval..."'The local news of Townville
at present Is SCARCE, oGr young friend Mr.
w. 3: Huhter has removed to Seneca, wbere
he Is engaged In mercantile business. Mr.
W. J. Compton will also leave us shortly
for that place, to engage in similar pursuit.
On Monday last DR.. Samuel Bruce left for
Columbia, whittier he has gone to study
and practice dentistry. Wewish our young
friends success in life. 1.-The balmy and
glowing autumn seems to have terminated
with bleak winter. For several days past
we had succession of cloudy, dark and
rainy days, again succeeded by spell of
extremely cold and freezing weather, during
which the progress of farm work has been
almost entirely suspended. But as regards
the weather the most scrupulous or exact
Ing have little or no cause to murmur. an
the fall season has been one of continuous
and unusually fine weather It is needless
to mention, In this connection, that our in
dustrious and thrifty people have been en-
ploy.ilg their time advantaGeously; for,
already, the fleecy staple has nearly, If not
quito, disappeared from the broad acres, and
small grain is being sown extensively. It
Is, perhaps, safely estimated now that cot
ton, in this vicinity, is not more than half n
crop; albeit. the amount that has already
been ginned in this township viii probably
aggregate near 800 bales 80" Wheat-sowing,
though as early as usual, will, for the most
part, be late, owing to the fact that most of
our farmers are sowing cotton lands. How
ever, that sowed at the proper time is look
ing we'll, and one in travelling through this
community will meet at every turn with
smiling fields Of onts, promising to yield
abundantly in their season. mfr. Charles
B. Sullivan. resident of this townehip, has
produced this year with one horse $50 BUSH
els of corn and 600O pounds of lint cotton.
Mr. Sullivan mas, doubtless, lar outstripped
the average farmer Of this community, and
has, probably, in this result. achieved
greater success tlian any other farmer in
Anderson County. In his efforts he cer-
tainly deserves praise, for when ten thou
sand thousand such farmers shall have
taken the place OF as n. MY thriftless drones,
then will dawn upon us new era of happi-
ness, contentment and permanent pros
perity. 1.-THE Fork is continually traversed
by mountain wagoneIs sometimes feigning
t. he apple or chestnut venders, but in fact,
they are more frequently none other than
spirit rappers. Though we do not object to
little of the genuine pure, we do think that
the illicit whiskey traffic in this section has
become public nuisance, constituting ono
of the most no.ions and deadly enemies 20
the peace, order and security Of the commu
nifty, which demands suppression at the
hands of every true, peaceloving and law

thus swindcd and outraged, will he the last
to accept offers from the hands of the Fraud
ulcnt President. There may be a few who
will sell their birthright for a mess OF pot
tagc, but the great body of the people will
spurn the hribe.
At the very threshold of his career HAYES
has to confront formidable opposition in
his own ranks, without the least prospect Of
recruiting any strength from the Demo-
Gratis by proposed bargain and sale. Re-
tribution for the fraud which he personfics
seems already in active movement, and he
islikcly TO contradict in his experience the
maxim that the mills of the gods grind
slowly. The end of the Republican party
came with the nfamy which bore HAYES
into the White House. A war of hostile fac
tions, of bitter determinations, and OF mu-
tual exposures has opened; and crowd OF
hostile politicians, bent only on taking ma
lignant revenge upon each other, will be the
only mourncrs at the bedside of its final
dissolution.

rather than allow any power to appoint
administrators in ottoman territory. The
strength of her position lies in the moral
weakness Of Europe, divided thinitsolf, and
which she can thus dare to defy. 1t remains
to be seen whether Cen IGNATIEFF will re-
turn from his tour To tn" various Cabinets
he intends to visit with any results in
the direction he desires. If he succeeds in
uniting them. we may be sure that 1t will
not bc by narrowing their feelings with tho
sufcrngs of the Slavs; it will not be by APP
peas to their Christian sentiments, OF TO
their high moral consciousness; but II will
be by skilfully playing upon their national
rivalrics, and tempting them with political
brides at each others expense. He may thus
possibly so far ncutralzc those powers he
has most reason to dread, as will allow
Russia to undertake n task of disintcrested
bcncvolcncc with the aid of n million Of
armed men, which she hopes may lead to u
very considerable acquisition of territory.

The New Senate.

The first important division in the now
Senate showed that three senators, who
were elected as Independents, hold the bal
ance between the two parties. While the
seat In South Carolina and the two seats in
Louisiana continue vacant. the Republicans
Of all descriptions have a majority II only
five or six; and when BoorH. CHMsTIANcY.
and DAVIS of Illinois vote with the Demo-
Gratis, the Republicans fall into mi
nority. Judge DAVIS will probably incline
pretty generally toward the Democrats;
and on the subject Of the admission Of the
three Senators from South Carolina and
Louisiana, RooTH and CHRIsrIANcY will be
very likely to sustain those elected by the
HAMPTON and NICHOLAS Legislatures, I'M
less they should join in an effort to throw
out both sets Of claimants from louisiana
At all events, and however the three dis
rutcd seats may bc disposed of. the Senate
will be so evenly balanced that whenever the
three nominally independent Republicans
take sides with the Democrats, they will
place the regular Republicans ina minority.
