A MERITORIOUS ACT.

The following joint resolution of the last
General Assembly will meet the hearty APPROX
al of the people of the State, when it is re-
membered that the beneiciaries named were
all deprived of their eyes by the casualties of
battle in the late civil war. Appropriations
have been made, and properly, too, for those
who lost limbs in battle, and none can object
to the pittance appropriated to the three un-
fortunate men, supposed to be the only soldiers
now living in the State who were deprived
of their eyesight by wounds received in battle.
Lieutenant Samuel Campbell, named in the
resolution, is a native Of York county, and
lives at Clover, where, notwithstanding his
total blindness, he supports himself and family
by honest labor in the employ of the Chester Il
Lenoir Railroad Company. He was member
of the Eighteenth Regiment, and received his
wound by Minnie ball in the battle of
Boonesboro.
SECTION /. BE it resolved by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the State of
South Carolina, now met and sitting in Gen.
eral Assembly and by the authority of the
same, that the State Treasurer pay to Samuel
Campbell, Thomas J. Reese, and to Stephen
Moore, each, the sum of two hundred dollars,
upon the warrant of the Comptroller-G General,
the said Samuel Campbell whilst Lieutena
and the said Stephen Moore whilst Sergeant
in the military service of the Confederate
States, having lost their eyes from the effects
of gun-shot wounds received whilst in said SER
vice.

FARMING IN THE STATE.

The fruit crop in Sumter county thus far is
unusually promising, and if no late frost oc-
ours the supply will be bountiful.
Aiken Recorder: Corn planting is over ex-
cept in the low bottoms. Cotton planting is
being vigorously pressed forward Never be-
fore in the history Of the county has such
large area been given to oats, and the prospect
for bountiful yield is very promising. A
limited area of wheat has also been planted,
and so far is doing well; but no man can tell
what will be the outcome of a wheat crop
in this latitude until he has it safely housed.
There is every indication that this will be Il
year of plenty in the matter of ofprovison crops.
Sumter Wutchlnan: The farmers OF the
county are generally in good spirits. Corn is
for the most part in the ground and most of it
up. Preparations are being made for planting
cotton. The oat crop was never more prom
ising, nor a larger acreage planted: F0rty-tVe
DAYS more will relieve the necessity of corn-
buying among the farmers, i'll great meas
ure.
Orangeburg Times and Democrat: In the
last week or two d perceptable and encourag-
ing change of feeling has pervaded all classes.
Farmers are beginning to see their way through;
merchants are looking up, and everybody is
more hopeful.
The grain crop promises to be the largest
ever raised in Abbeville.
Anderson Mteleigencer: Corn is coming up,
cotton is being planted, small grain crops are
hourishing, and the farmers are all cheerful
and hopeful.

THE BANDIT JAMES.

The assassination of the bandit and outlaw,
Jesse James, in Jefferson City, Mo-, a few days
ago, affords abundant topic for the western
press, which devotes day after day to dis
cussing the question in it's various bear
ings, descriptions of the funeral ceremonies,
&C., with not just a little eulogium OF the
natural amiable qualities of the deceased. 1t
is alleged that Governor Critenden, Of Mis-
souri,, connived at the assassination, for the
purpose of sharing the heavy rewards offered
for the outlaws capture, dead or alive,
and that he promised the assassins executive
clemency in case of their conviction OF muir
der. In this light, portion Of the Western
press hold the Governor up as being no better
than the assassins, and the assassins as being
infinitely worse than the dreaded outlaw who
became a victim of their treachery
The whole affair throws a curious light on
contemporary morals. According to the &C
counts, as we read them, the grateful sheriff
WHO, it is alleged, was privy to the assassina-
ton, contributed ''five hundred dollar casket"
for the dead train-robber to be buried in. Mrs.
Samuels, mother of the James boys, apparent
ly has views as to who would be the proper
assassins of her sons, and says: ''If Timber
lake or Craig had killed my poor boy would
not say one word but oh God, the treachery
of Dick Little and those boys. Bob stayed
with him and shot him with pistol that my
dead boy Jesse gave him. Oh I can't bear
| can't bear it," 1t does not surprise us to read
that Mrs. Samuels and Mrs. James are all
worn out''-just as if they had been to fine
wedding OF a ball.
The Ford brothers were arraigned last Mon
day and pleaded guilty to having killed James;
whereupon Governor Crittenden granted them
an unconditional pardon.

LETTER FROM BLACKS STATION.


BLACKS STATION, S. c., April 1.-THE
| farmers Of this section have availed themselves
of the favorable spring weather and made con-
siderable progress in preparing and planting
their crops The wheat and oat crops are bet
ter, a greater acreage has been sOwn than ever
before, and if no calamity befalls the small
grain, it will be the largest crop ever harvest
ed in Western York. Some fears were enter
tanned that fruit, and the growing wheat were
injured by the cold snap of last week but ex-
animation shows that neither sustained any
damage.
Our town council are discussing the subject
of moving guano warehouses out of TOWN.
some of the citizens living near the warehouses
having complained Of them as nuisance.
Contracts have been made for the building
of four new store houses in our town, which
are to be completed in time for the fall trade.
Several handsome private residences are also
in process of construction or contemplated.
Two Mormon preachers-W. c. Burton and
J. M. Easton-preachedy yesterday short dis"
tance from this place. Their creed is we'll
known to all intelligent people, yet they seem
to have hearers wherever they make an ap-
pointment. Some persons counsel violence to-
wards these propagandists as the shortest way
to break up their pernicious teachings; but
this would be wrong. They have the right to
express their views, so long as theydo not con-
f1ict with the constitutional laws of the land.
The safest barrier against their insidious doc
trines is the virtue and intelligence of our peo-
pie.

tist church at this place on the night of the

THE WEATHER.

The cold snap of last week reminded several
of our older citizens of the cold spell which oc-
Cured in April, 1849. On the 18th Of April
of that year there was snow, and on the fol-
lowing day a heavy frost. The weather last
week was nearly as cold, but we had no
snow and but light frost. Our information
is to the effect that with no untoward wealth
er the fruit crop in this section will be fair this
