To the Editor Of Tie Ncps and Courier !:
Some four months ago saw an ADVERTISE
ment in the Home and Earn, calling for
cone hundred industrious men, accustomed
to farm labor, to form Cooperative Asso.
ciation for Agricultural pursuits" signed
Tn. Harung, at the above address.
Believing for years that the organization
Of individuals and the association Of their
interests was the very cornerstone Of sue
cess in industrial enterprises, l opened a
correspondence with the above named gen.
tleman, and the results was that left nv
home in South Carolina and came on, and
am member of the Cooperative Associa.
ton. -
1t is n remarkable, perhaps fortuitous,
coincidence, that the very first paper, or
communication CT any kind, that | have
received since leaving my home should be
The Neps and Courier containing Mai.
Harry Hammond's address before the
Charleston Industrial Exhibition, in which
the necessity Of the organization of capital
and labor is so elaborately set forth.
The only difference is that what Maj
Hammond has so thoroughly elaborated
are, so far as his address is concerned, spe.
cial gencralities ifnot simply nd captandun,
in their effects, whereas we are trying to
put into practical application the very pro-
positions ard scheme of operations which
he so distinctly affirms to be a necessity of
this age of progressive developments.

REwARDING FIDELITY.-Mrs. Sarah Turner,
who died in Chernw on the 10Th ult., bequeathed
some real estate and personal property to an old
colored woman who formerly belonged to her
and remained with her ever since ancipatfon.
This same old colorei woman was hung up by
some of Sherman's men when Chcraw was invn-
ded by his army, and was requested to divuge
where the jewelry, &C., Of the family was bur
led. She persistcntly rcfusec TO do 50, although
knowing where il was. She has thus been re-
warded for her fideity,-Marlboro Planter

AS the body of this young whale, cap.
tured in Charleston harbor only few days
ago and hauled upon an inclined way in the
yard of ship carpenter, lay almost upon
its back, it gave visitors an erroneous i'm
preston of its form, its mouth aud its ba.
leen. The top of the head lay upon the
floor, and the upper jaws therefore under
the lower jaws the right fin stood erect
and looked as though the animal had dor
sal or back fin, which is not so, this species
having no back fin, although the sperm
whale has a small back or dorsal fin.
Enjoying means of progression SO extern
sivc, living in Il medium but little affected
by variations of climate, these animals are
not generally bounded by strict geograph-
ical limits which cou6ne the terrestrial
mamaalia. Whales. it is said, do not at
tain their full growth under twenty. five
years.
l have been frequently asked why this
species is called the Right whale, and will
now reply: On board the vessel engaged
in the whale fishery man is sent aloft to
watch for whales, and one is kept there all
the day. AS soon as he sees a spout he
calls to the officer on deck and sings out
"Right" or "Spcrm," as it may be, aud this
he knows from the single or double jet,
which he sees; the call is then made for
the boats, and if it be the whale that the
sailors most desire the word will be fright!
Right" but should it be a sperm whale the
word "Sperm p will pass through the ship.
There is not so much risk in capturing the
right whale, but the sperm whale having a
formidable set of teeth, will sometimes turn
upon its pursuers and crush sthe boat, and
often many of the sailors are killed.

QUITE CoMPETENT.-Iti is related of a
wcllknown merchant of neighboring city
that, after making his will and leaving a
large property to trustees for his son, he
called the young man in, and, after reading
the will to him, asked him if there was any
alteration or improvement he could suggest
"Well, father, said the young gentleman,
lighting cigarette, 81 think as things 60
nowadays it would be better for me if you
left the property to the other fellow and
made me the trustee" The old gentleman
made up his mind then and there that the
young man was quite competent to take
charge Of his own inheritance and scratched
the trustee clause out.

tation, rode up to the gate Of J. B. Wofford, the

GREAT COTTON FIRE IN AUGUsrA.-At ten
o'clock on the night OF the 18th Big Steve
sounded the alarm Of the ninth district and o
bright light in the nsighborhood of the Augusta
Factory hurried the fire department and throng
Of people toward the illuminated section. IL
was soon found that the cotton warehouse of the
Augusta Factory was ablaze the FIRE in some
mysterious way breaking out in the centre Of
the long building and rapidly extended through
its entire length and breadth, enveloping the
contents in roaring mass Of flame. There was
in the warehouse large supply ofcotton--be-
tween fifteen and sixteen hundred bales being
in re-and how the fire could have made It's
appearance in the mass will perhaps never be
known. The total loss sustained by the Angus
Ia Factory will probably not be very heavy
just how much cannot now be estimated. The
warehouse was built soon after the war with
brick walls, slate roof and iron doorways, and
was regarded as 6reproof and secure. II was
about 80 feet long and fifty wide
The cotton was valued at about $50, 600, upon
which there was about $50, 900 insurance.

During an exciting discussion Of
the Deputy Marshall bill last week
the democrats proposed TO accept a
proposition made during the extra
session by Mr.. Garfield, the Repub-
Ilcan leader, that is, that the Deputy
Mirshals bs appointed by the U. S.
Judges equal number from each
political party-but the Republicans
at once saw that II they were de-
Prlved Of this tremendous engine Of
fraud and intimidation obey would
have no chan e of erccess, and there
lore opposed i:.eveuG ARIEL who made
the proposition did not have honesty
and courage enough to stand up for
his own proposition. We are glad,
however, to see the Republican pa
pers come out and condemn this shal.
low hypocrisy. The following is
from the Boston Herald, the leading
New England Republican News
paper:
The discussion on the Federal
election laws seem to be provocative
Of political foCliehness. The Dem
ocratic leaders in Congress made
asses of themselves last year, and
now the Republicans seem bent upon
showing that they are not to be out
done In lmbeclbllity. The current
report in Washington ie that the
Senators Of this latter party will
offer strenuous opposition to the
proposed amendment, which is cal.
cu'ated to improve the service rem
dered by theoe marshdls, by making
them, as far as is possible, non-par-
tlsAn. The Republican Congressman
object TO this, because they wish to
have all Of these officials appointed
from their own party. an objection
which would indie tie that the Dem
ocrats had some cause for complaint
a year ago. The effect OF this resist
ance will be TO deprive tie Repub-
mean party OF whatever credit the
resistance Of its leaders gave to it
last year. II the compromise pro
posed by MIR. Garfield had been
frankly accepted 1T would have been
moral and political victory for the
Republicans, AS they could then
claim that their opponents had been
wholly in the wroag, aud that all
that they wanted was 20 iusure the
purify of the ballot, a demand to
which the Democrats had been re-
Iuotantly obliged to yield. But now
no such claim can be advanced, and
the party likely to profit by the
.ntest Is the Democratic. Even
Mr.. Garfield, who proposed the
compromise, did not ! ossess courage
enough to face the partisan opposi-
ton OF his Republican associates "
