Negro Exodus.

We learn from tho anderson MteUt-
gencer that quite a number of negroes
have left that county recently at differ
ent times to 20 to Little Rock, Arkansas,
aud that thirty or moro Of these poor
deludcd creatures left the depot al that
village last Monday week, on their way
to the Rock" II there ~ q nun on top
of tho ground who commands a deeper
sympathy than all the rest, it is the emf

is said that certain agencies offer a pre-
MUM to any man who will induce any
number Of negroes to 20 West, This, we
:cgard little less than a crime. There is
work enough here for every man within
our borders, and if there arc any who dc
not make ! comfortable living the fault
must be their own. TO induce the in
.lustrious and thrifty to 60 away from
their homes to a strange country, among
strang people, is, probably, to entail sui,
lcring and %privation on a people who
would otherwise be comparatively COM

The Register and the News and Cou.
rier-

Without going into the merits of the
spat between the Register and the Neps
and Courier Of last week, we would com.
mend the dignitied and forcible manner
IN which tho latter replicd to the former.
The example of the Negs and Courier, in
this instance, except in its reference to
the circulation Of the Register, is worthy
Of all emulation.
The difference In the circulation of the
two papers had nothing at all to do with
The question at issue, and for this reason
we think it was an error on the part O.
he Ncws and Courier to lug In an irrele
van matter, for no other apparent reason
than that of injecting a sting into Ill 9TH
erwiSe unobjectionablo article. We are
sure that the Nems and Courier did not
intend to claim exemption from criticism
by the Register because of any difference
in the circrlaticn Of the two papers.
The Register, IN its language, must
have been offensive to at least a portion
Of its readers, while the general tenor of
its article may have suggested the idea
that it's criticisms Of the .Ncrs and Coz
rier might have been written as much as
an excuse for its own failure to give the
public fuller details Of a matter about
which everybody was anxious to hear,
as in any patriotic ventilation of disin-
terested friendship for Cash, or in giving
utterance to any great desire that the
people Of South Carolina should he toler-
ant and mcrciful to q set of men who
have so much blood on their hands as the
CashcS.
With the exception of the matter about
the circulation OF the Register, the -NcmS
md Curriers' article is eminently proper,
and we hope to see the brethren Of the
press act in like manner towards their
assailants--evcn though theI consider
them unjust and vulgar. We hope to
see the day when the epithets common to
street gammins will entirely disappear
from the columns Of the South Carolina
press.
The evidence which was brought out
at tho ha6eas corpus trial Of f. Il. G..
Cash, in our opinion, vindicates the Ne~s
and Courier.

q. p. II. and his Cotton.

PEI.zER, ANDERSON Co. S. g.. March Is, 1854.
Editor Press and Banner:
My attention has been called to an article
in your issue 5th inst. signed .. p. II. who
take TO be Mr.. o.. p. Hawthorn OF your coun-
ty..
Mr.. Hawthorn questions the proper grading
OF his cotton sold here on the LIST inStant, and
which Mr.. Blak", our cotton buyer, consider
ed low middIing, and worth "a cents. while
Mr.. Hawthorn considers II to be middllng cot
ton and worth much more. Since seeing The
card Of Mr.. Hawthorn I sent samples to
Charleston, and the following statement from
three OF the largest cotton buyers in that
market, will show, that after necessary ex-
penscs OF the shipment OF that grade OF cot
ion were deducted. our buyer, MIR. Blake; has
paid the full value OF the cotton, and his
judgment most correct.
CHARLESTON. 8. c., March II. 1854.
Ellison 4. Smythc, Esq,
Pt. Pelzer Mig Co.:
DEAR SIR: We hive carefully examined
the samples of cotton submitted to us by the
Pelzer Mfg. Co. and would class the same a
full style Of strict good ordinary. according 10
the classification OF thism market, and value IL
OH the list day of March 1884, ut l0H cents.
Very Respectfully,
D. E. HUGER SMITH.
CT Lrsesne d Wells.
S. w. SIMONS.
Buyer for Watson & Hill.
EDWARD r.. NoBERTSOS,
Buyer for Salas & fall.
The Pelzcr quotations for cotton on Febru-
AIRY 9th were good iniddling loH. middling lOh
as stated by Mr.. Hawthorn. and these QUOTA
lions held good on the day he sold. Both be.
fore. and since, the LIST of March the prices
named above have been paid, but only for the
grades mentioned.
As Mr., Hawthorn passed through Honea
Path. Bolton and Williamson, and as Pied
mont Is only six miles from Pclzer. | can see
no reason why Mr.. Hawthorn should have
disposed of his cotton to the Prlzcr Mill, if
this price did not suit him. AS II was sold
very early In the morning he certainly had
time to try either, or alI, OF the markets men,
toned above.
With this statement | dismiss the subject.

Tariff Reform.

The newspapers and politicians OF
Democratic persuasion are still talking
of the tariff. About 0nc-half OF them
seem to think the main thing is 20 play
hide and seek, with an eye single to the
Office of President, while the other hail
seem disposed to declare for Il principle
and stick to it. We are inclined to the
opinion that our people should be allow
cd to buy goods in the markets OF the
world without let or hindrancc. We
hope, then that the Democratic party
NAV declare for free trade and hold fast
to the faith, weather We win or not III
1854. The free trade doctrine is bound to
win sooner or later, and if it neve does
win, it would be better to adopt 4 princl-
pie.
