While the up country has been over flowed and suffered greatly from the heavy and continued rains, onr spring Ims been Warm and comparatively dry. Farming operations have not been disturbed by the weatheg, gtul the consequence is onr plan ters are far in advance with their work compared with other seasons. Cane will soon be worked the first time, and cotton will soon all be in the ground. On Wednesday we had a fine ruin, the first season we have had for transplanting for more than a month. We have had fruits enbugh rain for the present and with the warp sunshine everything is grow ing rapidly. If the season continues good our farmers will have corn to give away in the fall, tell all the famine stricken peo ple to come to Egypt and got corn. The Tax llt'ccivrr’* Votlcc. Mr. Thomas J. Hardee is advertising by hand bills that he will, at stated times, be at the several Districts to receive the taxa ble property of the county. He notifies the public that he is now by law required to exhibit his tax book to the Grand Jury at the Fall Term of the Superior Court, so that said Grand Jury may determine whether the tax payers have placed a prop er valuation upon theiir property or not. This is a good law and w ill cause men through fear of detection {if from no other cause) to render a just account of their ef fects. Let it be further understood that every person giving in laml will la- requir ed to give the exact number, and the Dis trict in which it lies. Wo suggest to tax payers that every mail ow ning a lot or lots of land that lie com, fully prepared to ren der just an account as is required and which will prevent great annoyance and trouble iii the future.

JOSEPH E, JOHNSTON DURING THE LATE WAR. This book, written by General Johnston, is now offered to the public, and will j doubtless prove one of the unwt thrillingly interesting works ever offered to the • Southern public, and particularly to the Southern soldiers that was under his com mand. Though concisely written, it cm- j braces every material fact in regard to his ! operations. To his soldier hoys it. will awaken many Rad as well as pleasing reminiscences. It w ill turn back the pages of memory and present vividly to the recollection the many battlefields, the many comrades and co-sufferers that fell and is no more; the many hard conflicts, the weary marches through rain and shine, cold ami heat; and the croakers behind the army and out of danger should 1 carefully read his truthful statement, and in it behold the imbecility of their criti cisms anil their wanton and unjustifiable persecutions of this great cotnmuuder.

A Government Ballot-Box Stuffing Opera ticn And the Cost of It: The Sun say* the-New Hampshire elec tion having passed, nearly one Urdu sand w orkmen have been discharged ffolii the Portsmouth navy yard, some of whom had drawn pay for three months and some for only two or three weeks. Many of thesi men, who had been set to work iu order to secure their votes, had been promised that their pay should continue at least unt 1 ■May, and it was diffiiouit to convince them th: t lhoy were to be turned adiift. ( f course these men, having sold their VQtes for place, received little sympathy; but the action ol (lie Navy Department in ordering their discharge so soimafter the election, confirms the assertions made before the o eitbu, tl op the extraordinary force of incompetent workmen put on the pay rolls be ween January an 1 March Wis re rioted simply for the ) u.aioso of carry l ing New Haniwshiro for the Administra tion party. The design failed of execu tion. but it is estimated that ft needless ex penditure of at least 200,000 lpus been in curred in the corrupt transaction, which is nil the mure infamous in view of the fact that there is a law of the United States which provides that auy officer tr person in 1 lie service of the United States who a lull O’ dcr or advise, directly or indirectly, by force, threat, menace, or intimidation, any interference with the full exercise of the right of suffrage, or interfere in any manner w itfi auy election', shall be liable to a fine of not more th in Sb.lHKGnul mipria on ii! nt for not more than five years; yet in the face of tliit law the workmen in the Portiam uth Navy Yard were driven up to t;c polls m gangs under the supervision o‘. ovi racers, where they were compelled t i vote as they were directed for fear of being discharged. Having so voted, they wore then set adritt in disregard of all p, mi es naide to them.
