J uorance and brute force have not only controlled the labor, ~ but have managed our farms, and yeiir by year we have drifted into tho bogs of povarty -until, to-day, cwished by tli? inoufcos^of dtobt^tho* Wholo countryis bankrupt! Tho Mercy of Provi- ' Jence has been assailed and the sea- q] sons accused of an agency in our misfortunes; labor has be?>m? tumoral- di > / ed andtlio Freedmen condemned as ] ie source of all onr troub{oa ] thp ;ecy kio^ of oqr jSlavanuahs has been ied and cpovipted of the crime of ipovcrishing as, aid never once ivo yon or 1 charged upon ourselves ie capability of being the architects * our own destruction. The science r agriculture, that most enabling o! I vocations, has - been by us treated j a farce. Copartnerships have been irmcd between intelligence and cap:il on tho one hand, and ignorance j II the other, and eousequcnt failure us been the result. Becauso muscle in hold the plow or drag the hoe wo avc believed it could practice the art nd appreciate tho science of agriculjre. And as an incpntire to this end n Interest in the crops is generally i . -i i-i- - r\ : llowca to stimulate mo lauorcr. bleated of contingent eireumstanccs bis may possibly have been a pruent economy;'but unfortunately our ^partners have had nothing to comlepd them but muscle. Although doile generally tractable they are negated by the prejudices of race, and ave so often been misled find deceivd by the wretchcs of our own color, hat oftener than otherwise in plauation economy their likes have boon ur dislikes, and their ways not our i-ays. Moreover, fellow-citizens, a copartership to work tho crop ignores very other requirement of tho planation. Have you no fences to' build, titchcs to dig, lands to drain, stock o raise, buildings to crcct, nor premsc8 to preserve? Can all these hings bo done by the ordinary farm nbor if the laborer rcccivcR a portion f the crop as his annual stipend? iomc men presume to answer this [ucstion.affirmatively: but that it is ;eocrally impracticable look at the niversal aspect of the country, Go rith me a circuit of a day's journey hrough onr own county, and at Imost every settlement dilapidation leets us as tho most prominent fcaure. Think you this would bo thy asc if labor were purchased like and thcr commodity, and paid for accordtig to quality* ? Purchased labor rhen not profitable in the crop can o otherwise advantageously handled nd thereby loss prevented if gain be iot received. Now-a-days neatly irairovod premises and well built fencesrill insure a readier sale for thin and than fertility of soil for a planation unimproved. But there is another cause, fellowitizens, for our ill success. During ho lato war no officers were more ensured than thoso who managed >ur subsistence department. Man ,nd beast suffered tortures for their .Ueged incapacity, and every private hought ho would make a better comaissary, or qnartcrmastcr than the >cst of those in office. And yet when hrown npon our own resources how LA. nvA rmArnn nnwjo!uA<i LIilIIJ KJk uo uaiv |?i v? vu v. lompetent to provide for a squad nach less ft rcgimont or a brigade? Cnowing tho wants of homo we have icgleetcd thom to supply foreign dcnande. Wo havo. stiuted our families* o'enrich the sj>in&tors of other lands. Sitter experience teach;;s us starvaion will bo tho result of adhering ,o such a policy. If tho conflict boj letween cotton and bread-stuffs wc mist sacrifice profit for subsistence. 2very planter should, however, stud}' ho productive capacity of his own oil. -If .the culture of cotton, be the i nost profitable, then plant it; if corn ays better, plant it; but above all ur prime aim should be to feed at ome( and lrom our own soil. That his can be done wo have only recall wenty years ago when corn sold in ibbcviHe at 75 cts per bushel ana is?, and our population was then Imost identically what it is to-day. Jut that 6ueh a policy is not advoeacd b}' the planters of Abbeville at his present time, the condition of the ountrj* most satisfactorily attests. For j'onr reflection, feUow-citizcns, respectfully submit a few statistical nets gathered from the books of the gents at the various depots of the r. & C. li. I?? in the county of Abbcille. Of the receipts "a1 .Ninety Six cpot, I havo only reported ono-third, iresuming that-the remaining two-l hirds have gone to Edgefield and jfinrcns counties.
