Northern View of Southern Contracts
?The Fifteenth Amendmont, and tho
Cha' kston Convention.
i The same correspondent of tlie
Tribune, whoso calm and temperate
! utterances we presented in part to
our readers in our last issue, has writ
ton another letter giving an additional
chapter .of his experiences "in the
City by. tho sea." It seems to ho
characterized like tho preceding, by a
spirit of fairness, and though as a
matter of course colored by early
Imltitt rmrl iliffiiiwtit. munr>!'ilinno i*;
that of one who aspires to give the
impartial views of an unprejudiced observer.
The sharply defined contrasts presented
by the white and black elements
in the city forcibly impress the
writer, and especially as exhibited in
tlio ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment, and in the sessions of the
Agricultural Convention?the hilarious
enthusiasm of tho one race in tho
enjoyment of their newly acquired
freedom, and tlje sober earnestness of
the other, chastened by bitter past
expericuce, distrustful of the present,
and anything else than sanguino oi
(he future, but etill nelf-reliant and
ac tive?and necking still to rebuild
and restore.
The writer's view of tho character
of the black race as displayed in tho
great celebration was nioro favorable
than he had been led to anticipate,
lie says:
"Of courso I can any nothing of
their willingness or their ability iu the
lield, their trustworthiness, or their
[cleanliness in tlio kitchen. I but
speak of the negro celebrating a great
eveiit iti the history oi' his race. I
see a swarm of people showing, with
evident poverty, great- ingenuity in
mukiug a lit tlo material in dress go a
groat way in producing an <*fleet at
least neat and picturesque, if neither
gracoful nor beautiful?a people Boniotirhes
childlike or barbaric in tbo exuberance
of their demonstrations of
joy, but certainly possessing a dignity
of thoir own capablo of commanding
respoct upon occasion; a peoplo of romarkablo
oourtcsy and politeness in
thoir street, manners, whother to acquaintance
or atrangor; a peoplo de...?

iu tho blaro of bands ami tbo
flitter of accoutermonts, and ho making
generally goocl parade soldiors in
outward appearanco, tho extraordlnary
spirit and pride of somo otl'sotting
the cxtrcmo awkwardness of others
whoso enthusiasm has-not had tho advantage
of drill; a peoplo manifestly
saturated all through with tho pride
of freedom and citizenship* and'very
likely, in tho * domination of those
feelings,.forgetting for tho nonco almost
every thing else. It is in this
that theso now fVeodmcn and women
of South Carolina moyt differed from
tho Northern black pcoplo, mostly
froo from childhood, whom^ I have
seen in similar celebrations. Tho
Northern man breathes his freodom
like tho air, without thinking'of it
with'every inhalation, and goes about
his business meanwhile in a businesslike
W*ay7 The Southern negro takes
it In like laughing-gas, is exhilarated
at overy. breath, and exhibits his consciousness
of it in h\Wv ninvomont
it ib with tliis, ye'thnpB, that tho white
man "who has to deal with hiin finds
fault, thinking fivo years long onough
'to got over tho first intoxication oi
liberty." _ .
Now * wc havo nothing to say
against the correctness in tho main of
this viow. Tiro black race havo boon
oxposed to a snccossion of unfavorable
influences which wonld have up
sot tho equanimity of tho most sober
> minded people in the world, much
more tlmt of a people of mercurial,
tropicnl blood; of strong passions,
and limited intelligence. To us it is
a wonder, that a people who have
been so much "sinned against" as the
hlnolr rnnn Kntrn ilnnn oa ~11 L
tvvvj P?X? V W UUUU DV/ WCH"^IiaVO
deported themsolves eo orderly at
home, and have exhibited so mticli
conservatism in the chair of office,
and In tho halls of legislation.
Turning away from, tho feverish exhilaration
of tho colorod colebration,
tho writer finds more to attract in that
sober ossombly of practical men ,;onco
possessed of wealth, of immense inflaendo,
who In the old i!mo carried
South Carolina ill: their hands, and today
Dot'command so much as a
constableship at tho hands of the raters,

for ton yours, uud J.I10 farms retained
Lo be Joisod or sold at prices which,
us the title of immigration comoa in,
are expected to make tbo enterprise
pecuniarily profitable and to return
great dividends. Tbo schemo also
provides for tbo establishment of a
representative central board to sjt at
Charleston, made np of delegates
from each local society, to take measures
to induce immigrants to come
this way, to receive and care for them
while here, to givo them entire froodom
of choice to push .on to Califur
nia or tbo North-West if they ro
choose, ami to distribute thoso who
elect to rqniain among the free farms
which are opened to them in South
Carolina. Intimately allied with this
is the plan to make, tbo coming of immigrant*
possible, by building a fleet
of four (steamers to run between
Charleston a?>d somo European port,
and while bringing passengers on their
westward trips to carry cotton back
with them, and ho begin tbo emanci
pation of the South from the tribute
| it pays to Mew York on both its im
! port and export trade. Other reports
were made looking to the establishment
of local cotton factories .and
other improvements of the resources
of the South, but these wero received
with less enthusiasm, many of tho
planters firmly believing that manufactures
arc a curse to the community
. which engages in them, and that the
only true course lor this State and its
neighbors is to slick to agriculture
alone. Thus the great topic of the
' Convention was tho immigration
schemes ottered, and tho project for
{establishing direct trade as makinir
immigration possible."
31 any obstacles to the immigration
schcruos wereproposed, and canvassed.
Among the chief of theso wcro the
mulual prejudices of the planter and
the immigrant, which must bo overcome?of
the immigrant in thinking
that tho planter only wanted Bomc
one to take tho plaeo of his former
slave?of tho planter in being unwilling
to concede liberal allowances of
rations and olhor personal comforts.
The low ralo of labor was nlsn mvrwl
us an obstacle?arid whatever might
bo tho inducement, tho low country
planter was hopeless of any beucfit
from Ibis source, in his hot, malarious
climalo.
Amid a host of croakers according
to tho writer, tho truo key voto of
Yankoo energy, and enterprise, oxpressod
in blunt Yankeo phraso was
struck by Mr. IJ. B. True, formorly
of Now York, now hailing from Georgia.
Said ho, "What you want is men
with a littlo capital of their own, who
will put it into tho land, and then
identify tbomsolvcs with tho soil. If
a Xorthorn man comcs down hero to
?? * ? -
v/viv iii/ vkiu v*uunvr> j U9 llUUUrOUB UFO
doing ovory month, get him to Bottlo
on your land. If ho has $500 got it
away from him, invested in your land,
and then ho will stick, and whatever
Slate ho comes from ho will bo a
Georgian or a South Carolinian In less
than a year. If his monoy is here,
his heart will bo here, and hie politics
, will bo horo. Tho Southern men smiled
at this as a Yaukceipm, but not p
few of them recognized tho cssenco of
truth in it after all. "This "is a ' temporary
crifcis," continued this plainspoken
Yankee. "Labor is domoral
izod. Thcro isn't enough of' it, and
what iltcro is isn't trustworthy,. I
can boo that as woll as you can. ' A
riian vrlth a big plantation can't rnako
enough, stealage and everything else
thrown in, to fence liia land. But
this is not going to last. Capital can
, control labor in tho end. Tho fact is
" that whero a Northern farmer gets
rich, ho does it not so much by farming
as by increasing tho value -of his
land, bl'intrinir it to the hiohnsfc sfnfA
w W O
of cultivation drawing other people
around him, building up a pleasant
neighborhood, getting schools ?nd'
churches about, and so on, till ho-ia a
wealthy man. It fcan bo dono hero
just as well as there; .and with such
land as you have bore, and labor as
cheap a? it is here, we can beat the
Northern man two to One. That's a
fact. I have a little pieco of land in

if capital can't control" labor I'll find
out tho reason why."
What wo want at the South is both
moro labor and more ihonied capital
This is universally ccnccdcd. Labor
is inefficient,- and rnonoy is wanting.
That black labor is unreliable is what
we might cxpcct under the oircttm- 1

and propound certain miuiito interrogatories,
It is with no view to taxation,

It is as a mean?, and tho only

"Wo trtist thou that tho Marshals
will reccivo a courteous reception
and that they, will receive a

SUCCESS THE 15 EST EVIDENCE OF
MEuir."?This is applicable especially
to mills and millers, and to judge by |
this rule, Wilson's Now Mill is lirsb- j
class. Tho many customers to tho
mill from ?very section can testify to
this fact, and now when our people
arc "casting about" to determine what
mill to send their new crop to, we
would advise our readers to bear this ,
mill in mind. To have tho good lady ,
of tho house well pleased, and to have
good and healthy bread, it is ueccssary
to havo good flour. Wo see no
reason why our people should stoi) at
tho nearest mill, when they can "go
a little farthor and faro much bettor"
at Wil6on's Now Mill. Beautiful
\yJUito flour is ploasrag to the eyo aud
agreeable to tuo tasto. It is always
good economy to patronize a first
class mill, and nothing is moro di6agrccablo
than having your wheat
spoilod at a poor xuill.?- Associate Reformed

Railroad Matters.?President Magrath
and Superintendent Tyler, of
tho South Carolina Railroad, and President
Johnston, of tho Charlotte, Columbia

Humor has it that some important arrangements
havo been mado to sccurc
to the public iucrcascd traveling facilities.
A part of tho boncficial tosult
of this meeting of tho "railroad
kings" will bo that tho Grconvillo
railroad will shortly put on a night
train, iir addition to tho prosent day
train. A new passongev depot house .
is about to bo erected by tbo roads

OBITUARY. *
LITTLE ALLIE WALLER, "fell
nslcop in Josus" on Saturday, May
28th, 1870. This little boy was a
ohild of extraordinary promise, pos- '
scBsing those qualities and mental
powers which belong oftener to matnrer
years, than to ehildhood. His ,
Bufferings were as severo and protracted
as- I have over witnessed. His
resignation was wonderful, reminding
us of that possossod by Christians of
riper years. Allio had the most winning
manners for a child that I havo
ever witnessod. Though not rolated
to him by the tics of consanguinity;
having boon noar him for several
months timo. I cherishod , an at*
taclimcnt for him, stronger than that
generally dictated by relationship.
All who were associated with him
loved him. ' This fair and beautiful j
oxotio has been transplanted by the j
Great Gardener of the Universe,, to i
bloom in tho Garden of Eden above, 1
whore there is no pain, disease, pick- t
ess or death. As much ,as we loved
him Rafter witnessing his unusually t
long and protractcd illness, we folt 1
that for him to depart arid bo with ]
Jesus was far better, as he has said j
"suffer little children to Qocne unto me (
?nd forbid thejn not, for of auoh U
;ho kingdom.of heaven. \
