An esteomcd friend writing us from Ath ens, Go., on busines, closes his letter thus : " Very dry through this section of the country. Crops almost an entiro failure I have just returned from the West, after an absenco of some months. North Alabama, und a portion of Tennessee, will not make the seed planted : hundreds of acres are being cut up for forugo. Tho Cotton is almost as bad." President Johnson's Visit South? Prior to his leaving tho Capital on his Northern tour, it has been ascertained that the Prosident expressed a strong desire to visit the leading Southern citici, and if it is at all practicable the trip will be made carly in tho ensuing year. Meanwhile it is not unlikely that bo may mako a tour of Virginia and North Carolina soon after his return from bis visit, to Chicago. So says tho Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia j Gov. Orr's Message. We lay before our roadeis/'this'wcek, t! uicssagp of Hin Excellency, Gov. Ortn, Legislature of South .Carolina, now asscml extra session. Tho able document in qucs ncithor long nor labored ; therefore every o read it.j And thia being tho^case, we necc into no analysis or -synopsis of it. , In our o it cannot fail to meet thc almost ehtjro ap of the people of-^South Carolina. M?ny mi perhaps object to certain recommendations part concerning tho negro code. Thoabolis of the Grand Jury in the District Court, a doing away with bond and security in thc < one man indicting another, as is there ac would, it seems to us, bo very dangerous ii lions". We earnestly hope these alteratior not bo made.- As to the advice concerning testimony, we think ic admirable.. The tic como when wo must lay aside divers longche notions and prejudices, and come up to spirit of tho age." This in, tho South, is ai and a phras?, which is abundantly ridicule* now ; but nevertheless, it has plonty of seni reason in it. Gov. Ona takes a cloar and conciso viow i situation and wants of tho State, and i many important suggestions on four groat p which, if acted upon wisely and well, cann* to bring relief to all classes of people, and fit to all classes of society. ? ? The Penitentiary. Gov. ORR recommends a Penitentiary in Carolina, and so; we believe, do most of. tl per.? in thc State. And so do wo most boa Simply that rascals an 1 malefactors ma mado to teork, and thus, nolens voient, do good in tho world. They should by all mea made to support themselves while in jail. Above, wo have alluded to " th J spirit o age :" but still we do not share one whit i m i wk iib and ridiculous sentimentalism wbicl such special degradation in corporal punisbm We do not see that a thief is moro degrad? whip or pillory than by tho verdict which nounccs him a thief, and puts him as such i penitentiary at bard labor. Tho d?grad?t! in thc crime; and tho man mean enough to cannot be dograded by the la?h. We advocat Penitentiary, therefore, because of tho valuabl bor that will bc done within its walls, and n< uccount of the modern refinements which will vail there. -? ?

Ho went thither t present at tito laying of the corner stone ol monument to tho late STEPHI-:* A. DOUGLAS. was due on the day after bis arrival. Ile m?? speech on tho ocoasion. Iiis reception in Cl go was respectful. Not so in Cleveland, ( and ono or two other places in Ohio and Indi The demonstrations at these places prove hatred to thc South nourishes among them li green bay tree. At Cleveland, the Prcsid speech was so interrupted by disgraceful Rai outcries, that it (the speech) appears to us t string of undignified aad exasperated cjaculat A row was anticipated at Chicago, but not of the sort took place. Tho President has boon invited by tho po of Now Orleans to extend his journoy and that city. Tho Augusta papers suggest that municipal authorities of that city invite thither. Washington correspondents of Northorn pa say that it is his desiro and intention to mal tour of the prominent Southern cities carly in coming year. Thc corner-stone of the Douglas monument laid in Chicago on the fith. Tens of thouss j of persons were present. Gen. Dix's addre: said to be a master-piece of oratory. Thc President concluded his remarks on laying of thc corner stono of the Douglas Mo mcnt, as follows: I am present to show my high regard for ai who perished in the public service, and one wb I respected and lovad. I have no eulogy to j. noun cc; that bas been dono better than I co do it. Some men may wear thu civic wreath wh the nation weaves for those who serve their co try in lofty positions, or their names may be graved upon tho imperishable records of nat?o glory. This column is raisod to the memory of Legislator and tho Representative Man. A c< sciousncss of duty performed was his while livi: H nd his reward will bo the inscription of his no high on tho cenotaph erected by a grateful i tion to commemorate the services of those w lived and toiled for their country and tho Uni of the States.^[Immense applause.] Fellow-c ?zens, I believe in uiy heart that if we could co municato with thc dead and cause them to kn what was transpiring on earth-were it possii for Stephen A. Douglas to bo disturbed from 1 slumber-he would rise from his grave, shake tho habiliments of tho tomb,and proclaim " t Constitution and tho Union-they must bc pt served." [Great applause. A Nasty Mess. A somewhat numerous and extremely nasty s of Radicals met in Convention in Philadelph on the 3rd and adjourned on the 7th. As thc arc, unfortunately, too numerous to call by nam let it sufiice to say that al! tho nastiest nigge lovers, North and South, were there. Delegat were present, if wo do not err, from every Soutl ern State except South Carolina. Andthorewei some present who wore not so nasty as other And tho loss nasty (Border State Delegates) wei not in favor of immediate universal negro suffragi and quarreled with tho vory nasty, who were ; th former finally retired ia disgust ; tho latter, Iel alone, quarreled, wo believe, among thcmselvei Tho nastiest Southern men present (than whot none could by any possibility be nastier) wer old Brownlow, Qovornor of Tennessee, and Jacl Hamilton, Ex-Gov. of Texas, i'red Douglas, th rich nigger from Rochester (or somo whero u] thero) in Now York, was a, dolegato. And Wen dell Phillips was there. And the ghost of oh John Brown was there. Aad the spirit of Dostii hovered around.

And wo arc delighted to say that no good to thc nasty cause can possibly como out of it. * ? ? IfST The Columbia correspondent of thc Char leston Courier soys : "Governor Orr will recom mond to tho General Assembly tho acceptance by tho State of the provisions of the Act of Congress of July 2, 1862, donating certain public lands "to the several Statos and Territories which may es tablish colleges for tho benefit of agricultural and mechauic art," and the appointment of a commission to mature plans in conformity with thc requirements of the Act. According to the terms of the Act, South Carolina will bo entitled to 180,000 acres of land. The Governor thinks that, by the sale of thc scrip for these lands, the State may realize $\50,000. As there aro no public lands within tho limits of the State, the scrip will bo taken as a substitute therefor. North Carolina and Georgia have already availed them selves of the advantages offered by tho Act." -? -?-? A Word to the Wise. When wc advise our readers to give COHEN a call, (says the Augusta Daily Press,) and assure thom that they will bo well received and bc sure to get good bargains, wo say whereof we know. Wo havo triod COHEN'S establishment. Wo have tried his bats, and wo havo tried his shoes, and we hesitato not to recommend them all to thc pub lic. Good articles, cheap articles, and courtesy to customers, constitute his motto. His store is on Broad street, opposite the Augusta Hotel. - pSST The Constitutionalist of Friday says : "We take pleasure in noting that the Granito Mills, Mossrs. George T. Jackson & Co., havo re ducod tho prico of their prime corn meal to $1 55 at wholesale. When whito corn was selling in this maaket at $1 70, the Granite Mills retained the prico of their meal at $1 HO, and now, so soon as lhere is a slight decline in cora, they roduce tte prie* of sot?l." ...?asasysC-; 3fe.?r* T I - Another Protracted Meeting. Toti-days ago, wo chronicled on interde nrotnrctod meeting in the Baplist Church al p'aecJ -With equal pleasure we now record fact that a similar meeting is at pr?sent goin, in tho Methodist Church. Rev. W.A. CLA? pastor of the Church, than whom no membi thc Conference, is moro ardently .and trutbl zealous, has gathered-to his aid the' Rev. HERMON^ in charge of the Butler Circuit, anc gother, theso earnest laborors, faithful in cause of thoir Master, aro making most pr. worthy efforts to arouse a spirit of religion in community. In thc courso of the summer passing away, tho Methodists throughout State Lave held protracted meetings with happiest results. Tho number of persons have joinod this Church in South Carolina du the last five months is enormous. On thc N borry circuit, only a fortnight or three wi back, more than a hundred accessions were cc to tho Church under tho labors of tho R Messrs. ZIMMERMAN, TRAWICK, BOYD, and otb And at MCKKXDRV'S Chapel, twelve miles ab us, ono of Rev. Mr. CLARKE'S Churches, a < sidorablo number of now members were \ lately admitted. Wo all know, and how well for us would i if wc could act upon that knowledge, that 1 was created to servo God on earth, and eajoj otornity of bliss boyond tho grave. This is should be-tho great, and only great, objec life. In comparison with it, everything i should sink into insignificance. The influei honors, wealth and plcasuro enjoyed on oa terminate with our earthly existence. How cossary then, how all-important, that the sal lion of the immortal soul be made paramoun every other consideration. The tenure of life is at best uncertain. To-d full of lifo and health, tho recipient of hom and blessed with an abundance of this wor goods ; to-morrow,-ayo, tomorrow,-the v< of death may summon tho soul to the judgm< to the bar of the great tribunal to answer for deeds done in the'flesh. Wordly preferment l not then avail the criminal. The wealth poss? ed and the honors reaped on earth cannot tl avert thc sentence of thc unerring, tho impart tho righteous Judgo. The divine advocate v pleads for us now, will then no longer pie nothing but the record of a well-spent life i thon savo us from the punishment due to sin. How great then is tho incentive to sorvc C faithfully. The things of this world pass aw but the blessed immortality beyond the gravi imperishable, eternal. The frail bark of I when wrecked upon this sea of trouble and s row, and when all schemes of- earthly joy s happiness are crushed, finds a refuge in the si stantial and soothing consolations of the relig loft us by Jesus. Let ns then hearken to voice of God, and ombrace, ere it shall be lato, the teachings of his holy sorvants. If we would but Berve the author of our bei with the same cheerfulness and avidity that do mammon, there would be not only more hi piness for us in this life, but also an eternity bliss in thc next. The fleeting and visiont joys of this world are as nothing compared w tho lifo to come. God created us that we mit obey and serve Him. But if we disregard I teaching;, wc shall bo punished. Wo, to whi all light has been vouchsafed, should always kc ia view the grout object of life-the Salvation our eternal souls. By the observance of I teachings of Christ, we will enjoy that contei mont, peace and happiness which Christ ale can give to His children on earth. And wb the work of the faithful servant is done, and t great battle of life ia over, God will reward b with an eternity of never-onding bliss for I faith and zeal of a woll-spont life, and for t good works done in tho flesh. j-? -?- ?
