Senator Sawyer lins contributed along letter to the Isfcw \orlc ledger in which he sets forth the suj>erior inducements which the South now oftors to the enterprising emigrant, lie enlarges upon its superior natural advantages? the long liuo of sea-cost, and runny cxccllcnL harbors inviting foreign comtncveo?liio numerous livers ruuuing from the mountains to the coast and aft'ordi 11 g casjp accoss to the interior?tho immense water power now running to *vaste, which might turn tlio looms and spindle* uf the world?the fortilo soil capable of producing almost every variety of crop that can bo grown in the Northern and Middle States? the balmy climate in which ripen as well the fruits of the temperate eones as of the tropics,?the pencil tho melon, the pear, the apple, the orange, the fig, the apricot, the grape. These form the subjects of the pronator's graphic pen and evoke his most unmeasured praise. This is well.

But why is it necessary whilst extolling what God lias done for us, to depreciate what wo have done for ourselves!? Whilst doing full justice to the present and future of the South, why is it necessary to deny its past history?its material progress, it* .arts and its enterprise? This i* neither wise nor ju-?t, nor politic. It could only come from ignorance, from prejudice, or from a disposition to pander to the rulling Fpiriti of the hour. Yet this is just what J the Senator has done. Hear him.; 'For generations tho culture of! theso lands have been in the hands of! slaves. The overseers, who dirt-cud and scourged the slaves, wore* I ut too .often little superior in ncricuil oral knowledge to the 'field hands,' suiii t>fllW?a llfl/I /ill\\~ iriLilL?.J jonough to use tho rudest implement* in th3 clumsiest possible way.

Consider for a moment the history />f the cotton plant. Introduced here in 1721, rccognized and estab. 1 - i - ;iHueu as a staple export in 1794, it : feftebed in ten years after, an an- 1 nual production of 100,000 bales, in X826-^27,its production had in- ' creased ^to 957,000 bales, and in ' 1S50, just-bofore the war, the crop ' ; -nounted to 4,8j60,000 bales, being ' iijual in money "value, to "more than >;:e half-of the* aggregate exportaion of the entire country, including .

TVe condense the following statement from the JYaebcrry Herald: It appears that on Hunday la.st, a huge armed band of colored men assembled in the neighborhood of Belmont, swearing to burn out and ; kill Mr. Jaa. Chappellof that vieiuity, who a few days bays before had ! had a difficulty with a colored man, whom he attempted to drive oil" the: plantation of Mr. Moses Anderson at the hitter's request. Some sixty colored men went to the house of Anderson where Chappellwan, said they wanted Chappell and threatened to kill him, but went oft" when the f%rty in the house (sotno live in number) came out. In the menntimo tho intelligence lmviior I.rwl "V 1 M ?H*? 111^ 1 Vi?LilUU U\'| Ut'M j'j *>i I . Pavai tiger the Sheriff, went down and joined a party of citizens who hrul turned out; and night coming on the opposing parlies remained in position until morning. Mr. P. then started back with Chappell under arrest and nr.other, and on thy road were stopped by an armed hand of blacks, and after receiving (abuse ami threats were puttered to proceed to the village. lictnrning: with two young men to the scene! of disturbance, the Sheriff overtook a force of constabulary and colored : men, whom he sent on to the hostile negroes with orders to disperse. Proceeding himself to the scene of tliedisturbancejie found assembled some six or eight hundred white' men armed and mounted. The! negroes were then called unon to 4. " " " | surrender sonic sixty of their ring-leaders* After considerable demur, the demand was agreed to ; ami only i twenty three of the ofl'cndcrH being' found, they "were given up and! placed under arrest. The negroes1 then dispersed and the town party [ then retired home. In the meantime a wounded nc-l gvo had came to tow n, and reported J that ho had been shot by one of; Sherifl's party. An infuriated, crowd of the colored started out, and mot the returning party of the Sheriff, and after n violent demon-j stralion, and the firing of one shot discovered that the suspected p:irty was not guilty and hence subsided. The return of the Sheriff*u party, produced quite .an uproar ainonir the colored in tho which nearly produced a collision. The prisoners were placed under guard, and finally gave bond l'or thoir appearance. A guard was i kept up at night, but iu tho morning all was quiet. According to the Herald the negroes were clearly in the wrong. Incited by bad advisers they attempted to take the law into their own hands. Such men r.s Joe Crews of Laurens seem to be inciting them for elcctionering purposes, regardlees of the injury which is done to both races. Let tho blacks bo better advised, and rest assured their own true interests depend i upon the preservation of peace. | They that '"take the sword shall perish by tj:c sword." i ' ^ ?
