D. Porter's Address. The Charleston Raxes of Saturday contains at) admirable address, of thp Honorable W. D. Porter, deliv ered on tho previous Wednesday evening, at a reception tendered by Col- Jftiehard Lathers, of tho city, to] the Hon. Wm, C. Bryant and Hon.j Ko.-^tio Seymour, of New York, andi which, giving expression to noble J thoughts, in elegant aud appropriate) diction, is chiefly Dote-worthy in as siting the truo causos ot" tho es trangement which more or less exists bo twee a tho Xorih and tho South, and^henco in ftU'Disljing the most proper remedy for tho evil. Tho true cauao of the estrangement is mutual ifiis-understnnding, and the true rem edy is a better uniteyst^nding of each <?thoc. Qu tho pnvt of tljo North it is a misconception of our past and ol .our present^nd, indeed, tho last grows oyt or the first. Boforc the North can d? justico to tho present attitudo of the South, shoraust appro piato ioi? pasjt, and do justice to the motives whicji prompted and sus tained ber iu tho great struggle. The Smith does not ask. and has neverj asked, the North to pass judgment upon the right or wrong of secession. "jLJpori that question, wo suppose thai jnon will differ as long as varying cir cumstances lead different mitjds to .opposite conclusions. But jro have* askod, as wo thiuk we have :i right to ask, that justico be done to the depth and sincerity of our convictions, which precipitated us into the lute war, and which sustained us tjiroqgh disaster and defeat until its bloody close Until this is (tone, thoro will be the want of that mutual esteem and re iravrl ivliifih form the only basis of .tnio and lusting friendship. And what more oan be demanded - * ... . ,1 . " of t?mn the past already furnishes, to provo.our sincerity ? Those only who were brought face to face with each other in the great struggle, and who mot each other in the carnage of tho battle field or in the privations of the camp, can fully realize and appre ciate the heroisip and soli-sacrifice which furoieh tho best evidence of sincerity. * It was in privation and peril that tho contcndingarmies learnt to rcsppyt oach other, and hcnce it was.among s.oldiQrs aud in the capip that the gfcrips of pcaco and reconcil fii'nnH thftif most congenial soil. Had ti>o work of reconstruction bcoo left to the soldiers, jjnd not to the politicians \yf>o snuffed the battle f.pm afar, the ugly wounds of scction al hate would have been long since healed, and peace and -amity restored. Thaf, estrangement exsts. ftrisps then from a misunderstanding of our past, and inability to do jnstico to the depth- of our mutual convictions. The first ?tep to reconciliation is in mutual respect. The Northern man w bo is disposed to do justice tp our past record, can have no difficulty in appreciating t >e present position 01 |he South. As hp believes us sincere in apsuifljng arms, ho will regard us as equally sjneoro in the assurance that we have laid them asido forever. Our sincerity in the past is a pledge pf our sincerity in the pre^gnt, and a duo recognition of tl)is {act cau only giv^ lasting peace and reconciliation. Mutual rcspoet must grow out of frequ'en-t greetings and a moro extend ed jntcrcoursc, and when we knoyy pacb wo will resepct and love each other the more. The distinguished and eloquent speaker well said: ' Theso friendly visits will bring us all to a boUer understanding. There -was .'it? "unpleasantness" once; that is over ; but thero is q, misunderstand ing 6ti!I. I do not mean to ?ny the fiult is all on one side, nor do J mean to deal with any question of contro verted politics. But I cannot help thip^in^ that the people of ih j Noi t.i LavV not appreciated the honesty, depth and universality of the aenti roeut that underlay the great seces-! ?<io!i movement of tho South. It was! not only, an honest sentiment, but a, deepj eioccrd and pervading con vie-1 f'on coenccted with consideration of public safety. The cause or ground j!>f that conviction is now removed! "Whether it was thep ri ;ht or wrong,! well-founded or ill-founded, is notj now the question. 1 am dealing only1 with tho fact of its existence,* and, tho universality of the sentirpent orI o/Mivir-tion is the best proof of it?| honesty. A whole people do not! enter upon a great movement like that with almost entire unanimity, ' and sustain it' for years with unparal- ' jqjjyd sacrifice of blood and treasure, ji to the very verge of impoverishment!! an4 ruin, wjtbolit the sincerest con victions. We know that wo were honest, and that we did our v?m-v bes'll' lo sustain om f. ?i. >vt loo, that we utterly failed to so, i Aim men iliut have honestly a bravely (ought out their fight, wh ever the result of tho combat c afford to look each other straight the fuce, and strike hands and friends again. In sjjcji .cysts fp generally become faster friends tli thoy'were before. They have tes! each other's ruettle, and learned to spoct it. There is no disparag'-mo no sense of humiliation oh either si Where all is lost on one side I honor, that veiy honor of the dofc ed and the magnanimity of the vie. furnish a ground upon which b( may stand upon a footing of equali j If we did not fuel mid assert our e ' - ? iv i t i i _ eerily anu mannooy, womiuihu uyv fit to be accounted American cilize We lost our cause, but we did not li our honor. It' we are jealous of il let a generous 6ei tinieiit apprccii and respect the feeling. Farming on Little River?! vere Storm.?-On Monday last, bad the pleasure of meeting in c office Mr. Robert Pratt, one of 1 besf farmers* of the neighborly of Due "West, and gathered fr< him some i&iue of agricultural terest. lie represents the farmers of sorption aa bcinfr behind in til work, owing to the continued \Y tor rains. The laborers genera seem to be working faithfully; a doing fheir duty to themselves a their employers. More than average crop of small grpiij 1 been sown, and promises, (1 wh?a? crop especially,) a bounti 'harvest. The farrnors seem to making more thorough preparati than usual fqr the cottou crop' the use of compost manures, a commercial fertilizers?of whi i ? last a much larger quantity th usual is being used. On Tuesday of the past week heavy wind passed over the eecti near Fair's bridge, bluing dtn s<>me .houses, unroofing othe overturning fences, and levelli hundreds of- tlje largest fori trees. A cplqred girl on \ Pratt's plape was seriously wour ed by a falling limb, and Gapta John Cowan near Due West, h a tine mule killed by -a falling tie The track of the storm was n more than four hijudred yar wide. ? Perils of tue Sea.?Ono of t most terrible of ocean calamities v that which occurred during the pi week, in the loss of the steamer i lautic, of the White Star line, n ning between London and Ne\V Yoi with the destruction of 560 lives c of 978 ou board. According to t statement of Cgpt. Williams, t steamer was runuing sbprt of cu and her courso was changed to Hi tax. to obtain a supply, wheq, at o'clock on the morning of 1st Api she ran on Meagher's lioclj, soi twenty ocjd miles Southwest of lit fax and went down, losing more th Qqe-l^alf 0/ tyll pi) bqi^rtj, includi every woman and child. That ve great culpability lies at the door home one soems to bo clear, and t evidence will doubtless soon be fort coining. To suppose that tbo ac< dent conjd not have beon avoid( with proper care-that upon one the great highways of comrocrpe, a at the entrance of onp of the bt kuowo harbors in the world, an oce stumer, provided witfc chart a compass and all the appliances of t navigator's art, should have been r blindljr npon t^e j'ocljs of a dangero coast, would be a reflection itself up iho progress of nautical science, this be so, we had better go tp schc to the ancients, and take lessons frc tho Phoenician navigators. ^ARMING IN THE LOWKDESVIL Section?Health.?"We learn frc Mi; C.

Olio Of the most lamentable features of oijir jna terial conditio/) is the dependence of the South upon other sections for the necessaries of life ? upon tho West for our gr;.in and pork, and upon the Isorth for almost every implement of manufacturing industry. This all grows out of the suicidal policy of neglecting every tbiug else in our de votion to tho culture of the great staple. Cotton indeed should be king, but we do our best to dethrone him when we neglect to raiso our own necessary supplies, and thus p;i)' tribute to other sections out of our own hard earnings. Wc must diver sify our industry, and manufif.et/jj'e everything, cotton included, at home. lJut to do this we must raise our own provisions, and not subject ourselves lo the double risk of famine from the failure of our own and the foreign crop. Independence is tho lesson that wc have yet to learn, and when once independent, we will be ablo to turn to some account tho priceless hnnn which is conferred noon us ill the possession of the greuj; staple By giving diversity to our Industry, eir and limiting tha cotton culture, with in- out diminishing c^ir ^sources, we .11V devQtc pijr whole income to the en courijgemont of home enterprises, and n(] the development of homo jnduppry. ? m ? ? 811 "Don't Go West."?On our first lie PaS'e we present an interesting letr tor from a correspondent under this ^ heading, which presents -the Wes tern view and arrays all the argti ^ ments in favor of the affirmative ^ side ot the question. After all, we ^ suppose that a great deal can be said on both sides, and that the truth will be found here as.else where to lie between opposing ex tremes. It is difficult to find any thing which would be proper at all times and under ajl ^circumstances.
