Tbe following extract tronn Harper's Weekly, writieu by Mr. B?ss, who has been in the Philippines, tnav prove of iuterest to many of our reader1: New cetner9 in Manila keep asking where the bl&ms lien for this outbreak. I< the responsibility, alike for ' ' ' ?J Aary Hi.- ?ruh ! American auu cu^iuv , ..? oar government or with the leaders of i the Filipino people? At Mien n t'me as this it is difficult lor a good Aineri- , can not to throw the blaaie on Agninaldo and his followers. The Armri- ' can army has done so well ill i* <?ne feeh like over.ookiug thj pist. Although the trae came docs u t lie within the scope of any generalization, 1 but rather iu a multitude of small de- ! taoWf far.ta. still [ believe tbat the i fundamental reason for oar present fight lies in an unrestrained race antipathy. Americans differ so absolutely in mind, bod?, and soal fiom Filipinos that the two could not live together in harmony nnder the then existing conditions. First amoag those conditions was an American and a Filipiho volunteer force, both more or less undisciplioed, and longing to jamp at each other's throats; add secondly, * want of any consistent policy in our government. Moreover, both American and Filipino leaders have nAinf rvf Deea SO proviUCJJU ill men pviui view that at no time daring the military occupation oi: Manila has the least good feeling: existed between the American aud Filipino governments. We hive ignored Agninaldo aud his followers in so far as it is possible to ignare an army which for months has been encircling Manila in a peaceful ^ siege. Aguinaldo has stack oat . ^ tlirongh thick and thin for the independence of his people. Instead of getting what he wanted, he received the hard and fast declaration of oar president that the islands wire American propeity, that the army weald * * 1? - aw AC t Kftm ( proceecs 10 case pyssr^tuii vi mui, and that any one resisting our anthori*y would be suppressed by force of arms. Since this manifesto was issued there has been ho hope of a peaceful settlement. The bone of contention is the sovereignty of the islands. It is said that the Filipinos will not be able to estab? - -fiih a good government, but the same _ argument wonld apply to many of oar | own communities at nome. which have | wretched local self-government. Much j as one m?v dislike the native?and I [ may say thnt I nave never met with a more unlovable people?it is important occasionally to get his-point of view. - No doubt the government which the natives wauld establish v-vaid not please the Anglo-Saxon, but would it not be good enocgh for the natives themselves? The natives sooa learned to dislike us. We plastered the town from end to end with beer and whiskey adver- | tisement3. And so far Americans who h-ve followed tha army have put {heir time and money into saloons. No other bnsiness attracts them. According to native standards, the 1 American soldier has been rough and tyiannicai, while from our point of view the natives have been tricky and dishonest. The eutreme east and extreme west have learned to hate each other. The importance of these things is great a3 indicating what the fnture i has in store. The immediate cause of the outbreak was that the insurgent officers and soldiers, being under ie*s control thau oar men, became so hostile and insulting tint we had 1 either to fight or to leave the islands. The outbreak was hastened and made inpvifnhle htf tha unsettled state of ' public opinion in the United States, : the absence of any fixed policy iu Washington, and the consequent con- s tradictory and restricting orders on . our ioc&t government in Manila. The fact of the matter is that Jthe policy of ! ignoring th3 insurgents completely has had its origin in Washington. It reminds one of the altra-idealip'.li i philosopher who iguored the hard <*nd ' fast w^rld of ;environment, and while 1 Ahsnrhed in thought buumed his bead { against a stone wall. Tfee iusargent ! government is here, and most be dealt ' with. Formerly we might have compromised with them; now we mast crash them. There are a few men of education and ability who are managing the insurrection; the rest of the army follows blindly, mislead by false reports I obout our cruelty, and they look upon f m now as a species of ogre. We have 1 fVlrt Keiths) fViwi lancu uoii iv iuu uttiivv* ?? uivu natives felt for the Spaniards, and the < same stories are told abont as that > were told about oar predecessor!. < Tbe Spaniards and tbe priests have , done what they cculd to make .trouble ( by circulating false reports in both camp3. These reports bave been be- ' lievt-d by th3 insurgents, and in man < instances by our own officers. The , w Spauiard* are jabilant over tbe presstate ot affairs. One of them s*id to "Ispe&k to voq as a Spaniard and an cn?tny of the United States. If , fifty insurgent* are killed, good; if , L. tbe insurgents. kill one hundred American^, better; if the Americans in turn : kill two hundred insurgents, be>t of w an." - |, He that thinks himself the happiest man really is so; i>nl h* that thinks 5 himself the wisest, is generally the ; biggest fool. A camel will work seven or eight i days without dricking. In this he dif fers from some men, who wiil drink seven or eight days without working. J A German doctor has started a theory that most drunkards can be cured i imply by earing apples at every meal. { TU a oa*/^ . ro a r? Afto if x.iig aviu uv\,g it* Toe ancients believed that rJ.euma-1 tism was the work of a demon within j a man. Any one who ha=? bsrt an } attack of sciatic or inflammatory rhen- { ma'.ism will agree that the infliction is j i demoniac enough to warrant the bck lief. It h^s never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast oat demons, bat it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to S the troth of this statement. One ap- 1 plication relieves the pain, and this , quick relief which it affords is alone ? worth many times its cost.

The ( - ?f 11 ?? lewspapers, 01 coarse, win tuuucmu -he lynching as they ought to do, but t "will do no good. Lynching will go )q just as it has done iu the past. The jreorgia incident, however, is full of )bject lessons. It illustrates to what ( ltter uiadnes3 lawlessness will lead; j t illustrates how mobs will have reason i lethroned. Conceding that Same Hose , should have been put to death, and ;hat too by a mob, no justification whatever cau be made for the shocking and horrible manner in which it *rs.a done. It is sickening even to | read the details, aDd we can cot cod:eive how ciriiized men could have 3ven witnessed such a horrible dea.h, to say nothing of executing the plan in ill of irs barbarous details. We boast 5f carrying civilization and Christianity to the heathsn and savages in fko #3orir r?ia^p? of foreign ?countrie?, I UV w and yet we set for ibem such exampl3B as the Same Hose incident. Bat granting thif. good ground existed for tbe death of Sam Hose at the hands of the mob, infuriated by ?he awful crime committed by him, what cau be said of the IycObing of the cegro preacher? No proof whatever that was credited by tbe unreasoning mr?K was ftrtdnned to connect him with j the crime of Sam Hose. Bat his lieith hft'i to come. It was the logical sequence of men having taken the lew into theii own hands. Lvncb !asv was at one time jusiiUid only for one ciime, and it was then said thit it would not stay there. This has proven true. Lawlessness once staited ha* no end. Bat it is cot worth while to say more. The consciences of the people are ? bltnd to an awakening of the fearful consequences thai mast follow each affairs as tha killing of Sam Hose and ic? negru picauuc*. Aside from tbe horrible plau of execution, th3 Georgia mob does not difjer from similar mobs elsewhere BLYTHEWOOD NOTES.

Tlieie i has been very iit'le'planting done yet. ] We have had about two weeks of dry I wca'her; tee land is aow very dry and hard and it ii difficult to prepare it for planting. We kad a nice shower on the 25th and hoped to get a season, bc^ it has cleat ed away and turned cool. The prospects to-day are for a dry epell. The feed planted up to this time cannot come up till it rain3. There will be scarcely any fruit this year, particularly peaches. Even the blackberries and old field plums will be scarce, ouihes of the former being Lillet! by the cold winter and the latter was killed by the CDld spring. Tne health of the community i9 very good at this time. Toe Rev. Mr. McElwain, missionary !o Japan, preac-icd a very fine sermon at the A. R.

There are ve-y few of the old "Johnnie Rebs" in this section, but they are all very anxious to attend the grand reunion in Charleston as they don't expect to have another such opportunity soon. This community was shocked when it heard of the sad and untimely death of onr kind, t:ue and gentle neighbor, Mr. Johu M. Turner.

I take the time to write a few lines. My subject here lately has been 011 making cur homes happier by raising corn on the farm and other provision crops, and of raising cotton on the intensive plan?from one to four bales to the acre. I notice that Mr. Tarner, of Barges, Ali6s., has a letter ?n the "Home and Farm to a geutlsmar. advising him to use eight two-horse loads of stable manure to the acre, 909 pounds of acid phosphate] 100 pounds of muriate of potash, or 400 pounds ot kainit. Mr. fnnnoi' crn-o fn rv?nnf? tn h'a farm and see for yourself. It can be tried by those having good land that is not' needing nitrogen, for the fertilizer will cost less than wage labor <5n the extensive system of farming?a bale in every three (o five acres. If a man must have cotton at the lea-t cost I think Mr. Turners plan the be-t. I notice tbat the number of homicides and wounded per (lav in tbe United States is stated by a writer as 17 of the former and 100 of the lafer. Is not that farming? And I guess nine-tentbs of this destruction and suffering is produced by the u?e of intoxicating drink. There is one cause that will keep many of the Confederate veterans from meeting their comrades-in-arms in Charleston, and that is thair inabili'y to aflford ihe expenses of the trip, and the loss of time it wou:i< take at this season of the year.
