WOLFE. 1h>isto Fobk. -? snassii M;rCe>ttoai samel Mrlng-ency. ? : _ ^ .^be advance in cotton is a healthy sign of the times. It shows the infln of tbe great staple in restoring the monetary condition of the country. It was almost providential that tbe finan cial crash did not occur a month or two 1 later. Had the cotton crop btcn shipped and tbe crash come with the drafts against it in the hand* of the banks and cottoa houses through out tbe South, this section would hare ' been ruined?absolutely ruined. There would not have been a prominent bank that m?uld have survived, and they Weald have gene under before the de pesitors ceuld have made a run upon them. As it is, tbe North, with all its wealth, will suffer more than the South, because it hae ae such powerful reserve the bring into the field. At this time ..there never kis any very considerable amount of currency atneng a<; inasmuch as the supply has been exhausted in raising the crop and every interest is looking forward te the harvest which roust command its two hundred and fifty millions of money under any cir pumstanccs. There is, il is true, great stringency in currency?-for any other purpose thsn to bay cottoa.* Those who have money are holding for that.very purpose, and others who fcevs drawn their deposits from the banks are holding 'it back, while those who receive it from any source are also hiding it away against the crisis. IIu msn nature is controlled by eelf interest, and in auch (amergenciee becomes much ?ore selfish. than sensible. Every man thinks that he must look out for himself, runs to the bank, pulls out his money, and buries it away in hie strong box or trunk. There is no bank ia the country that could stand a persistent run, because the very nature of its business requires that a large portion of its deposits should be invested in seeurities which cannot be realized upon ia a moment. The national banks, too, are under the strict eat United States law, sand may bs thrown into the heads of a receiver at any moment, in ease ef its violation. AU theas incidents attend and increase a panic, and the trouble to a community like earn is that everybody gets scared sad wants to de something, instead of keeping quiet and cool. The whole baaieeee of life is a system of reciprocal relation and mutual dependence, and, in seasons of financial trouble, the undis turbed maintenance of this normal con dition is mere essential than ever. The ? n?sa who tills the geund in this section it the corn or stone of oar whale business superstructure. He and the merchant, and the bank, and the factor, and the manufacturer, ace like the hands of a clock?all moved by the same mach in eiy and at the same time. Obstruct or defeat the harmonious working of soy or either of these component parts, sud yew disturb the whole construction. To make a run on a bank in which jou h?ve placed year trust for years, at such a tisae, Is to strike and Injure the faithful friend Who served you ia difficulty. The very- last hour in which to draw from your hank, both ss a matter of good sense and fsir dealing, it when the country hi in trouble with e finaacial psaiC. However, ia the South we can not he hurt much, for we have the entire crop ia ear bands?thank God !

That duty ha? been ably and pleasantly dieharged by Mr. J. Herman W.?hier,a to whom the editor returns many thanks for his timely and courte? a assistance. ?? w^ac ???? ES old I as Hack Mortgaged Cat* tarn?la It lion cut 7 The prominent posit tow which Mr, D. Wyatt Alken hold.? in the agriciltur.il societies of the State entitles him to be regarded as their representative, and pives to his riews an importance which they might m?t otherwise possess. S > lone as he di?rotir*cs on topics connec ted with the interest to which he has devoted his labors, we confess osr igno ranee and listen as to one speaking w iih authority. b-.t when, exceeding those limits, he lectures nu finance and promo tes a code of morals for his constituents wc sre at Iii? rty to question his ability, and dispute his instruction, although we never held a pi ugh or handled s h e. Wo do not propose t<i disci** Mr. Aiken's peculiar views of finance as expressod in liia Cokcsbury letter. We would only suggest to hi n to inform himself upon a subject before Us ventures to write up'Vi it e?-.-r'f ? A-1. for tho eis hardly a statement in his letter which :s not an error; hardly a coudusi ?n which Is not illr<>cirally d aan fn in his state ments. We have nil lime to review them all Let one example suffice. Speaking of the circulation tsf the Na tional Hanks he says it is I -gaily restrict ted ' but "who ever exaniin -s to learn whether they i*Mi- one hundred thou sand dollar* or one ??million ?" Is it possihlcih.it Mr. Aiken does not know that every bill whieh a National Bank iseue* i* furuishel to it fr un Washing ton, is signed by the Treiaury officials at Washington, and that the amount of th,i.?e bills is rw^tiUtel by th - amount of bonds deposited in the United States Treasury by tho IJstik ? An I did it never ooenr to Mr. Aiken that if his statement was correct, and the issue of bills was unrestricted that not one of the suspension he complains of would hare occured ? The hanks suspended because they had no bills and could get none. Mr. Aiken's statements and his conclusions, like the famous Kilkenny cats eat each other up. It seems als-? to have entirely escaped Mr. Aiken's attention that the moat extensive and disastrous frnonoial revul sions have oceured when there were no national banks, when circulation was based on gold and silvsr, and when there was, practically, no limit to 1 he power ef issuing bills. Hut, as wo sai l before, the financial views of Mr. Aiken, how ever original; do not interest ua, that which docs excite in us a feeling of alarm?snd he will paadoo us f?r saying a feeling also of indignation?is the new code of morals which he peeks to instill into the planters of the State. It is hot justice to Mr. Aiken to say that acquit him of all iutcntionto do wrong; but the errors ef even good men olteu produce incalculable mischief. We are willing to boTfeve that Mr. Aiken doss not preeeive the logics I consequence of his own teaching; hut, disguise it from himself ??< be may, bis remedy for tho evil begins snd eeds in sheer dishones ty. If his instructions wero roduoed to practice, the agricultural interest of the State would bo irretrievably landed in bankruptcy, moral and material* This we do not state this too strongly let us examine the Instruction. What is the adriue, whioh Mr. Alken gives te the planters? To bold tb?ir cotton, Admirable advice if the planter wae free of debt, and his cotton free pf lien, but the planter ie indebted to the factor for the very money which raised the crop, and the factor is indebted to the bank for the money loaned to the plan tcr, and has put up, with the bank, his collator ale to raise the money advanced. The factor owes the bank and the plau ter owes the factor, ?od has the cotton to pay the debt. Now wbst is owiausoo. | law snd common honesty ? Why, clear 1 v, that the pi niter should send his cot ton forward to pay the debt when it be comes due. V\ hat is the advioe which Mr. Aiken gives? To hold it, end "fo retiil the execution a/ "the lien by any meant at hand." We give it in his own words; for nothing less can render s > shocking a proposition credible. The factor, asking only that the planter should perform what he has premised, is according to Mr. Aiken, "a Shy "lock who knows no one but hiaself," but th e planter, according to Mr. Aiken, is to be at liberty to bresk his promise. Whom would the planter, in sueh case, consider but himself? Does he not do that very thing whieh Mr. Aikoa so indignantly condemns iu Jay Cooke k. Co.?suspend, "with their pockets MI V Moral laws arc general in their pplica tion ; there ia nothing which exempts a plsnter from their influence, or render* that, innocent in him, which would be culpable in a merchant. Yet Mr Aiken a advise ia, that the planter, with the means of payment in his hands, should break his promise and "resist by any means at hand"?which of course means violence?"the execution of th* lien." Faith is to be broken, the law defied, violence resorted to. and the whole frame work of soeiety, whieh rests on Law and Justice, rent and shattered as by a tempest, and for what 7 To suable a planter to avoid the payment of hin just debt. We hare too high a respect for tke intelligence and charac ter of the planters of this Slate to believe it possible that they could bs influenced by counsels so weak and vicious. It is u little carious that Mr. Aiken seems never to have considered that if hie remedy was poasible, and was ap plied the only result would be tirst to ruin the factor and then the planter. The factor would be protested b* the bank, and his collaterals sold out; the planter would eventually hare to pay his debt, aod we fancy would Bud himself at a loss to raise the advance for the next crop. But it is a waste of time seriously to criticise a remedy so utterly imprectic able, which begins in bad faith, ends iu violence, and enn have bat one result, the utter ruin of every ono affected by it. To the extent of his ability aod in fl'-ence Mr. Aiken has made mischief. Fie has endearorcd to nrrary one inter est ar/ainst another, when s cordial un ioo and harmony is essential to the pre servation of each and the prosperity of the State. At a critical period, when confidence is needed, h* has sought to sow distrust and excite suspicion. And the means suggested are as objectionable as the end. Wc are all mutually and reciprocally dependent, sod are bound to eaeh other for the observance of the purest good faith. Whoever, by teach iug or example, breaks down our rever ence for honor and honefty, or tempts us, however subtly, to evade the oblige tiona they impose, merits ihe prompt re b?ke of all who have at heart the char acter and future of the State. We have lest much, but we have not yet had to blush for the loss. All the evils of which Mr. Aikeo complains arise from the planter's want of espital. The true remedy, then, is not to odd to the want of capital the want of eredit, but, by punctoality and economy, to increase both. Thus, in truth, wrll the planter be independent; free to hold or sell as judgment dictates. It is the position he ought to occupy, and which we hope he will soon reach, for with his prosperity the interests of all are indiasolubly connected ; but, to be durable snd benficial, it must be the result of his own honest efforts, and not the fruit of injustice to others.?.Win ft Courier.

That all the County Offices to which they got access arc well kept. The Treasurer's Office was locked up, and he and his Clerk both out of town, but they find from th^ Offices of the Ccuoty Commissioners and the .School Commissioner, that he has neglected to make the monthly returns required by the 12th Sec. chap. 13 of the Revised Statutes, ami the 6th Sue. of the Act concerning School Funds. Many com plaints were also made about his failing to pay School Orders, because not in funds. They investigated one ease to ere if it was not mere clamor, and found that the Treasurer in the single return made to the School Commission er, admits having, for tho Township of Branchvillc $.pkM). On this the School Commissioner snys he has countersigned orders fur only $430.83, and he identi fied as one of tho orders included in the R43?J.83 one produced by Mr. E. T. Smoke, who held it for collection, and zsys it was presented aud di*houorcd ou the plea oi no funds. The Jury had their attention drawn to tho fact that the County Commission era had disallowed the charges of Trial Jus'ices for more than one recognizance in each case, snd the Couuty Commis sioners desired an expression from the Jury of their view. The .lury referred the matter to the Special Solicitor, who had been ordered by the Judge to assist them. 41c advised them that there was no law to restrict tho charge to one recognizance in roch case, but in their opinion there should be one, and they desire to see some restriction enacted. 4.
