Senator P&Y/yar and Southern .Agiiculturo.
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. Tho natural advantage*
of the South?its fertile soil?balmy
sky?rolling streams?deserve

Way of eulogy. 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

jonough to use tho rudest implement*
in th3 clumsiest possible way. The
top of the ground was scratched not
ploughed?what the planter called n
plough was not a whit bettor than
that deseribod by Virgil twenty centuries
since,"
Whilst admitting tlic inferiority
-of tho South in many of tho departments
of agriculture to the
North, yet ns .clearly shown, by the
Charleston News, we think it very
evident that in the ' cultivation of
the great staples of' cotton, rice, su,car
and tobacco, the South has not i
only contributed as much to the com- 1
uerce of the world and the beneii*.
of mankind, but has exhibited
tid much enterprise and intelligent
fkill as any people under the sun.
Consider for a moment the history
/>f the cotton plant. Introduced

Insurrectionary Movement cf tlia
Blacks of Newberry.
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. |
