Governor Smith, of Georgia, in o lato speech made before the Agricultural Convention of Athens, advances substantially the same Trioura wliip.li were contained in the speech of the lion. 1). II. llill, (extracts from which were published in oar last issue,) with reference to the impending bankruptcy which threatens the farmers of the South, and the necessity of reform in their labor and modes of culture. He states that in the last decade there has been a falling oft' in the production of corn in the State of Georgia of more than 13,000,000 of bushels; of oats of 400,000 bushels; of wheat of near 1,000,000 bushels?and this among a ? x-_n 1 onrl j)Copie essentially aijuumnuiu, who through mis management and , unthriftiuess are thus forced to buy or beg their bread. One cause of this is doubtless the unreliability of the present negro labor, but the chief causc is the neglect of the South to raise a diversity of crops, to meet it3 home consumption? a neglect of the small economics which can alone make us commercially and politically independent. "Iam not, the speaker said, with; marked feeling, for undoing thej wast. If to move my little linger j the system of slavery, as it once exhisted here, could be restored with its complete environments, 1 would not move that finger. Let matters rest as they are, as to that. But humanity itself?all good men ?all-statesmanship?cry out against tolerating a stato of society that assumes that one-half of an entire j population are to do nothing eke? V2' nothing better?than a herd of legalized paupers an'd vagrants. Let the law, in its wide aud thorough sweop, spare neither white nor black. The remedy is not simple or self-evident, I admit, said the speaker. But something must be done to alleviate the evils that are pressing our sectiou over the precipice of bankruptcy. Let us all contribute the best \ve-have to otter in promoting measures of relief. I suggest, as my contribution, that in all such cases as we have alluded to, that wo appeal to the courts for the enforcement of a "specific performance" of the contract. The remedy is as old as equity law itself, .and if courts now in existence are not numerous enough or convenieut enough for a proper care of such cases, let us establish and empower tbeui whenever they may be needed. While we are caring for the perverse and dishonest laborer who engages to work, don't let us forget to take care at the same time of the dishonest hirer who is too perverse and cor-r *?* t 1 rupt to pay. Let an nave equai justice and be made to stand on his engagement. Then, when we have secured reliable labor, let us reform our mode of life as planters and farmers. Send.no money out of the country to enrich strangers which can as well and better*he kept at home to enrich and-adorn home. Study small economies? waste nothing, that charity and hospitality may never bo left as a burden, and that the great -staple *>rnn whinh so blesses. or rather which might so bless, our land if properly used?may he he held in reserve for that diversified industry which it is so much the fashion of * those preaching reform to urge upon us. Now, it is worse, than folly to talk to us of "diversified industry," manufacturing and all that sort of thing, when there is no surplus money in the land. Make the tillers of the soil prosperous, and then call upon them for aid to manufactures and mining. There is sense as well as logic in that sequence, but until the money is dug from the soil, there is no hope oi seusc of talking to us of a diversified industry. The Herald correspondent adds: From the very ground up, this speech was as solid and symmetrical as a pyramid, and the universal verdict wa*, that the effort had never been surpassed in our day, and that it was the crowning achievement of (Jovernor Smith's life. It will tell in our judgment with groat power upon public opinion in Georgia." T.he Progressive Age.?-This ably conducted journal, over which our genial friend, T. P. Slider, Esq.* presides, is one of our most welcome exchanges. We are pleased to greet him again, after an absence of some weeks, and trust that he will be a regular visitor henceforth. Gamp Meeting at Tabernacle Church. "We arc indebted to the Rev. Jacob II. Wallace, the Pastor in charge of the A. M. Church here, lor some particulars of tiie annual camp meeting of the colored people which was held at Tabernacle | Church, commencing on Thursday ! last and closing on Monday. It jwas an interesting meeting, and i would have continued longer but for the rain. There wis a lar^e I ^ 'attendance throughout tlie meeting, and especially on Sunday, when it was estimated that some two thousand -persons were present, including some fifty whites. On that day special trains were run from Ninety-Six and Abbeville, and contributed to swelf the numbers in attendance. Large numbers! were present from the Savannah ' " i._ 1 side ol tliO uoumy, auu uij horse, mule, and vehicle seemed to have Jjeeii pressed into service for the occasion. The following ministers were in attendance: Rev. Abram Weston, Presiding Elder of the Abbeville Circuit; Rev. Jacob II. "Wallace, Pastor in charge of Abbeville Station ; Rev. David Pickett, Pastor in charge of Cokesbury Station; Rev. II. B. Prcsslcy, Pastor in charge of the Warrcuton Circuit; Rev. Francis Brown,. Pastor in .-.l.own h?? Vint Rock Circuit; VI ***** ? Rev. Manton Laity, Pastor in charge of the Pendleton Circuit, Rev. P. C. Irwin, Pastor in charge of the Dae "West Circuit; Rev. Xuthaniel Chiles, Pastor in charge of the Xiricty-Six Circuit; "Washington Marshall, Pastor in charge of St. John's Circuit; Rev. London Laurens, Pastor in charge of Mt. Zion Mission; and Rev. R. M. Andrews, of Sumter County, agent of the Cokesbury College of the A. M. Church. Three sermons -were preached daily, and on Sunday the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was (administered. On Sunday morning llev. R. C. Irwin preached at D A. M.?the Rev. Mauton Latta at II A. M.?and Kev. K. M. Andrews a sermon on behalf of education, at 2:30 P. M., ail earnest and instructive discourses. Much religious interest was manifested by tliose in attendance, and nine persons joined the Church. iSome fifty-one dollars were raised to defray the expenses o? the camp meeting?including trie erection of the shed, a substantial structure j capable of covering some 1500 persons. The meeting was quiet and orderly, and so continued to its close. ???tv m _ _ j me iraue ui uiituioaiuu. The Charleston News publishes as usual an interesting review of the trade and commerce of the city during the past commercial year, and thus sums up editorially, its conclusions, which preseut a gratifying exhibit of past progress, and furnishes an earnest of futuie prosperity : "Since 1870 Charleston has made wonderful progress on every line of public and private prosperity, and this in the face of strong discouragement, and in spite of many adverse influences. Comparing 1872-73 with 1868JlflVfi lll-i Ui7, UIU ^UllVIl _ creased 92 per cent.; rice receipts 3?er cent.; exports of naval stores 132 per cent.; exports of lumber 12 per cent*, and our bank capital 500 per cent. In the same period of time the trade in phosphates has grown from almost nothing to its present dimensions?nearly 50,0001 tons of raw material, of which 20,000 tons were used in manufactures ! at Charleston, and 30,000 tons exported. Of manufactured fertilizers Charleston has this year sent into the interior 5G,000 tons?a gain of 180 per cent, over 1871. The export of fruit and vegetables to the North has also risen from small beginnings since the war to considerable importance this year?i 27,000 barrels of potatoes, and 90,'000 crates of other articles?again! I i.,a+ 7;j iior font, in ! I i jH'll lUni > vui w*. ^ w. the former case, aud about per cent, in the latter. Surelv nothing can be more conw O , elusive as to the reality and importance of the progress already made, or more encouraging to continued . effort for the future. Ilonest}', economy and hard work have done it; these we still have, thank God, and to them arc now added capital in place ot debt, well assured hope i in place of despondency, faith in . ourselves instead of distrust, and the confidence and support of other (#r,imunities instead of their pity for our decay, and their prophecies ! of tl;c speedy obliteration of Charleston. It is indeed wonderful that the! people oi Charleston should havej had the fortitude to live, much less to labor, in the atmosphere of doubt, difficulty and foreboding, which enveloped the devoted eity 011 emerging from the war. "What we have gained has indeed been well earned. It is the product, of free labor, of self-denial, of private toleration and of public peace. This may be said without vainglory; it is not boast, but truth. That it is honorable, is gratifying; that it is pregnant with lessons for the future, shouldvbe our chief reflection." ^ ?? Laying of the Coruer-Stone. The corner-stone of new Baptist church here was laid, according to prcviousnnnounecmunt, with approjpriato religious ceremonies, on Frii ; day morning last, at 10 A.M\, in the presence of a very respectable audience of both sexes. But for the excessive heat of the weather, Ithe congregation would have been O CP | much larger. The prayer of dedi o:ition made by Solomon nt tho erection of the first temple, was first read by the Rev. W. B. Yates, of the Mariner's church, Charleston, after which he proceeded to deliver an address appropriate to the occasion. As a temple, to be devoted to the service of God, he said that it was especially proper that its foundations should bo laid with prayer and supplication. The speaker stated that he himself had participated in the laying of the corner-stone of a private residence in the city of Charleston, many nr*n flw. lAI'A tlP 1'f V flffl SeOtdl- I juuio V man, who, true to tfic instincts and traditions of his race, began the , work with religious services. That | house has survived two very de-r [structive tires, which have swept all around it, and stands to-day, it would seem, a monument of the Divine interposition. lie adverted to the brotherly harmony and Chris tiau unity which pervaded all do- , nominations here, and which furnished the best evidence of the true snirit of the Gospel. An earnest . I . ? and appropriate prayer was then made by the Rev. J. L. Martin, of the Presbyterian church, after which the Rev. R. X. Pratt, the pastor of j the Baptist church here, announced tiie contents of the corner-stone, which was then laid without further ceremony. The'" corner-stone consists of a handsome block of white marble, from the marble yard of Mr. J. D, Chalmers, inscribed on its face with the the date, "o Sept., 1873," : in gilt letters, and contains a hollow receptacle, in which were deposited the Constitution of the Baptist church, some coins, and miners. \ i i ' The Baptist congregation here i have shown a very commendable zeal in prosecuting the work so far, of erecting a church edifice, and we trust that its speedy completion will crown their efforts with deserved success. In the Rev. Mr. Pratt thev have an able and devoted %! pastor, who is zealously devoting himself to the best interests of his congregation. *4^+ 1 Tiie Base Bull Game. ?The eagerly anticipated and thoroughly canvassed base ball contest between Abbeville and Cokesbury came off, according to announcement, on Friday last. The first contest, it will be recollected; took place at Abbeville a few weeks since, but this game was played i*t Cokesbury. The same interest was manifested, and' as before, the same large concourse of fair ladies from the sister towns assembled to witness the feats of their respective champions. The result, as before, was in favor of nao c+tVn/li tr .15} VWIVCOUUl J tliv OUUi WO 4 V to 28. Abbeville would have made a better fight, but for the sickness of one of its champions?perhaps might have gained the day. As it is, Cokesbury bears oft the palm of victory, which is perhaps justly due to longer practice and more matured strength. Abbeville will bide her time. Some 500 persons, Ave learn, witnessed the game. A special train brought the Abbeville people home. Some eighty-two tickets were sold. The New York IIerald.?We | welcome daily into our sauctum one of its most cherished treasures, the great New York daily, the prince of the newspaper press, whose enterprise can only be equaled by its liberality. With all the resources of colossal wealth, wielding at will the railroad and the telegraph, with a disciplined corps of editors and correspondents, collecting and digesting for the daily instruction and entertaiuinent ol its readers all the current news of the world, it is itself one of the wonders of the age. We commend it to the patronage ol our friends who wish to see daily an epitome of the world. < A number of copies of the paper I are already taken by our citizens, i and we would be pleased to see the list doubled. 9 ^ ^ Premium List.?We are indebted to James A. lloyt, Esq., the i Secretary and Treasurer, lor a copy of tlie Premium List of the Sixth ; Annual Fair of the Anderson Farmers' and Mechanics' Association, to be held on the 29th, 30th, and 31st i of October next, the list is a very < full and attractive one, and the oc- ] easiou promises to be one of in- ] terest. ] 1&2L. A scapegrace calling himselt Eugene VaL) Dorn, pud claim? ing to bo a son of the lata General Van Dorn, stopped with Mr. 'Jacob Miller at the Abbeville Hotel, 011 Friday evening last, and left 011 Sunday morning for the campmeeting, but forgot to pay his board.

Like most rogues, lie lias a pleasant address; is some five feet ten inches high, dark complexion, and talks a good deal about his money. IIo has since been heard of at Ninety-Six. The public will make a note of this, and be on their guard, The Xo2.t-E.\plosive Chemical Gas Fluid.?"We learn that a lamp which was used for burning this patent fluid, exploded, at Mnj.J.K. Vance's residence, near Cokesbury, a few nights since, and came near setting the house on lire. A gentleman who is very competent to form a judgment ol ttie muu, .says that from the materials which enter into its composition, it is necessarily inflammable and explosive, and that the public should be warned against its use. If anything can be said in its lavor, qs an offset to this, we will cheerfully give it a place. Our sole object is to get at the truth, and advise the public. . Medical College of Charleston.?We direct attention to the opening of the session of this well known and popular institution, on the lofli of October next. It presents advantages which ? to the mcdical student, are unsurpassed by any similar institution in the country. The Faculty are professors of high attainments, and opportunities for clinical instruction cannot be excelled. These, with the moderate rates of board, will commend the College to the patronage of our young men. Sec advertisement. A Pleasant Party.?One of the most pleasant entertainments of the season was given at the house ot Maj. J. Iv. Vance, of Cokcsbury, on Friday eveuinglast. Mr. AV. Christie Benet, Dr. Wistar Vancc, and Messrs. W. W. Vance, and Samuel Vance were present, to aid the host and hostess in dispensing the hospitalities of the occasion, and many young people of both sexes were there to enjoy the evening's entertainment. 4^4 New Building.?Messrs.

Tjie "Weather and Crops.?The hot dry weather of the past week has been followed during the past few days with frequent rains, which have somewhat interfered with cotton picking. The cotton crop is : _ :?11? ?? opening very rupiuiy, aim no uicic is very little late -cotton, the crop will likely be soon gathered. The yield, it is thought, will generally be less than was before anticipated. Returned.?The Rev.E. It. Miles returned on Friday last from a short sojourn in North Georgia, much improved in health, and invigorated. On Sunday religious services were held in Trinity church, and the communion administered. <!? Mr. David Hannah, an esteemed citizon of our county, died at his residence near Douglas* Mills on Sunday morning last, after a short illness, lie was seventy three years of age, and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
