Editor 1'rcsn and Jlanncr: Agreeably to itie advertisement in thenewspaper*, the laneers of Cedar Springs towns!ilp met ai the Jackson place the afternoon of 21th, anil organized. About twenty-tive men enrolled themselvesns members ol the Hub. after which the election of olllcers was held, with the following result: President?Jtihn l,yon. Vice-President?Win. Mnglll. Secretary?11. J. McCaslail. The < 'hair appointed seven delegates to meet the other clubs at Abbeville at the next meeting. A farmer from another section who was present was called u poll for his views. He declined to give them until he was assured thai none were committed to the Tillman movement. whim, after a few preliminary remarks he read the accompanying copy of a letter he hail written and sent some lime previous to another farmer ittan adjoining township, lie read this letter in a bold clear voice, and at its eoticiusion he remarked that in that letter was embodied all he'coukl say in reference to the agitation that is antagonising the agricultural element against all others. The letter was as follows: 1 'kait sik?Some time since a number of farmers in Calhoun's Mills township met at Alt. (.'artncl with a view to organizing an Agrlculturil Club. Heing fully aware of the backward slate of agriculture in a section of country in whose material prosperity I have an intere't. I attended the meeting. S'jine twenty-live or more persons we re present, sixteen of whom enrolled their names as members of the club. W. 1>. Mars was elected chairman, anil James L. Covin secretary pro leni. Ilcing called upon for my views. I adverted brietly to the bad condition of t'ie country and the necessity of an immediate and radical change. In this tljere seemed to be a concurrence, and the following persons were nominated and elected olllcers without a dissenting voice: W. I). Mars, president; J. W. Morrah, vice-president; J. 1,. Covin, secretary, and seven delegates were elected, at the same time, to meet the Central club at Abbeville. Upon seeing, with surprise and alarm, the direction that the tiling was taking I objected and remonstrated. All my cllorisin that way proved abortive, howeven l?ut I have the satisfaction of knowing that measures which I opposed and condemned as impolitic and uuu ise (1 in li; lit even have added, pregnant, with pernicious consequences,) by word of mouth, did not, in tlie long run, have the sanction of a reluctant and apathetic attendadce. , This was all I could do, and I did that, not from the presence of any fell spirit of discord within my bosom, hut from an earliest conviction Unit ilie cause of agriculture is entirely distinct from politics ami that Its interests never can be subserved by blind and ercdnIons compliance with the counsels of those seeking tiie public sutlrages. The evils that beset agriculture il<> not proceed from bad laws or iniijuitoustaxatioii. The taxes wrung from the tax-payers for the Railroad Commissioner, the Slate University, the Columbia canal, and other things of a kindred character, which, by the way, is one of the favorite themes ot the demagogues who are eternally seeking ofliee for themselves are merely nominal? but as the weight of a leather?in comparison with the load under which wc struggle. What then, yon will n?k, Is the main cause of the bad condition of the agricultural interests of this comity? I will tell you. The causes much besought in the dispensations of providence and ourselves. Wc cannot avert the visitations of calamities sent by providence. Winter freezes, spring and summer droughts and freshets will come periodically, whenevor those conditions of the atmosphere favorable to those vicissitudes exist. The losses sustained by failures of corn and oat crops since lss:\ have been immense, not to mention losses resulting ftom bad wheat crops In is,"<5. lSKf>, ami a total loss oT that of Ksii. Now. leave had cotton crops in iss;:j and ixsi ottl of the question, make a reasonable csiiinaleof the losses sustained In the failures of the oat, wheat and coin crops since Iks-j, takini! the average yield of the preceding ten years as a basis, and you will tie appalled at the enormity of los>es Abbeville county has sustained?losses compared with the magnitude of which the taxes for the maintenance ot the Slate University, t he pay of the Il-iilroad Commissioner, and other necessary expenditures thai seem to haunt the i magi nation of the sycophants who are wooing the public favor by pandering to the public credulity and ignorance, are mere atoms, scarcely tliserving notice much less mention, from ' I.. un-ir uuri iiim^iiinvuij?;u. The Ills which providence infllols upon us and which so severely try our fortitude, we can not prevcntorcvcn palliate. Those whieh result from ourselves rultnit of assuaging ami inoilifyin^ if not of absolute prevention. In what way, yon will ask, are results of suchvital importance tons to be achieved? I!y investing agriculture with the dignity that belongs tosv science?the most important of the sciences because the most nselul? and con* secratlug to if our energy, our talents, our til* lainnic.its. Is it possible for a pursuit to he attractive where every outline is repugnant ami repulsive ? Is It possible 1'or it to he remunerative when an ignorance of its principles is esteemed a merit? Kicvate agriculture. Give a dignity to it. Clothe it in vestineuls Mich as chemistry, bolany, and other branches of science can liestow, and pood pastures, good entile, good horses, well-tilled iields. :ind ail the \ Ivifying ellcets of u skiilI'ul and diversified husbandry will arise lo allure from the halls of the academy and college those whoare driflitigintootherpursuiis, not so much from a prettier inclination or ^renter aptitude lor those pursuits as from an antipathy against a visage so forbidding and so horrible as agriculture in this country is doomed to wear. \grlcuiture ean he. Invested with beauty, it can be rendered enticing. Think of the blue rrass pastures of Kentucky, of the luagiiiti* cent panorama that unfolds itself to the enraptured vision from ISaltiiuoro to New York ciiy, thenec lo lioston, and Albany, and, indeed along the line of every railroad throughout the North and West. Think of that, and see what industry and skill can do when rightly applied to the promotion of agiiuullure. If nil Ignorant application of labor is ihe best means of extracting pleasure and profit from the farm, agriculture Is certainly Hie only pursuit that will conferguud results from defective methods. It; conclusion, I would suggest, yea advise, all men inleiesicd in the agricultural development of the country to unite Ihcniselves I? ..I..I. ??- i 11 I,., f,, vale agriculture by tin ac<|uMtion and dill'usion of agricultural knowledge, lor 1 apprehend no important results can aeerneto anyone from pursuing a vocation of whoso fundamental principles he is lamentably ignorant. I would come over to attend your meeting, tail. I'm going to Mt. f'nrincl to encourage, to exhort, and to entreat the good people of that section to let phantoms alone, for phantoms they surely are, and if they he so biind and infatuated as to persist, in following them in defiance of reason, in dcflanccoi admonition, they will juvt as surely lind themselves by these very phantoms most cruelly and wantonly deceived. With many kind wishes for your success in organizing and perpetuating a club that shall exist when all the Tillman clubs shall have expired with the selfish and vena! causes that culled I hem into belli!??to a ciedit to those who originated it ami the whole of Magnolia township, I remain.

(From Otw Resident On-respondent.) Washington, July 20.?'The members of the | Smith Carolina I'rcss Association, who arrivi cd In this city on Saturday morning, enjoyed j every moment of their visit to the National ?Capital. The Metropolitan Hotel was selected i to be their headquarters, and the genial host, j Col. Selden, was indefatigable in his attention j to his guests from the 1'uliiictto State. The I principal leaturc of their visit was a .special | reception given them on Saturday afternoon liy l'resident Cleveland. This Inul been pre | viotisly arranued through Senator IhitK-r and Col. T.

Mansion, and were shown into (he {treat East j room lo await the coming of i lie President, j In the meantime .Senator Duller and Ituprcj sc-1native Hemphill arrived upon the scene, and were presented to,the ladies and gentle' men of "he party, l'i'omptly at half-past 2 !o'clock, the great doors dividing the Kast I room from the promenade hall were thrown open and the President entered the room. He Iadvanced toward the middle of the room | when he was met. by Senator iiutler and ItcpI resentative Hemphill, who, alter paying their I individual respects, presented Major M. 1'.. | MoSweency, of the Hampton Guardian, president of I he Association. The President remarked that he was delight! ed to meet the representatives of llio press of South Carolina, as he had a warm place in his heart for newspaper men. Major MeSweeney, in graceful terms, expressed his appreclalion I oi the sentiment, and took a position at the ! Presldeit's left. Senator Kullcr standing opposite. The members of the parly stepped forward and were introduced by name. When ! this formality was over Ihe President seemed hi no hurry to tear himself away from such ; delightful society, but lingcred some time in I convolution with his guest-. He appeared to appreciate the complimentary remarks which several of the editors passed upon his administration, and laughed quite; heartily when informed that South Carolina would be i.i.t. ..i !?/ ? iiftvt tKimiii'ifin<r r-nnvon. Mlliu mi iiiiii .n, ...v ...? lion. lift enumerated the various points of interest in the city, sill of which lie advised his callers to visit while in Washington, ami he congratulated them upon the pleasant weather the weather bureau was furnishing i them. He was particular to mention the open-air concert oi' the Marine Iiand on the While House lawn later in the afternoon, and remarked that, he felt sure the gentlemen as well as the ladies would be entertained by the music which the band would play. At the President's *uggc.sliou, the Green and iilue parlors, and the conservatory, which arc usually closed to visitors, were thrown ! open and the excursionists were allowed to make an inspection of the Slate apartments. As a matter, of course, the ladies were most ] Interested In tlie lllue parlor, in which the I Presidential marriage was s>>lemnl/vd. They were curious to know by what door the bridal j couple entered the room, where they slood during the ceremony and numerous oilier {things in connection with that historical wedding, which no one but an cye-witness to i the allair could have answered. The stroll I through the conservatory was greatly enjoy1 ed, especially by the ladies, several of whom ! were presented with blooms from the flower; li.g plants, which naturally aroused the envy j of those less fortunate. Otic of the gontleI men, who wore tantali/.iugly upon his coat a ! lieautiful l'.ower, at.einptrd to tease iPhright! eyed young lady, who was not in the conservatory at the liine of the distribution. She looked longing at the young man, and then at j the flower which adorned his coat, but his j generosity did not extend to the lovely souvc ulrol tin- White Utilise conservatory. Alter pleading In vain, the young lady reached ! forth her hand and plucked the coveted flow. ! ??> Iii'fiticr mill trl. I i uinphantly from I lie White i louse.

A few of the youug men took short rims j on'bieycles, and they declared I hat they did , not know what true enjoyment there was in I oie.velc riding until tliej found themselves I (flUling over the hoautilully paved streets oi | Washington.

L Ut-fore inviting the reader to take a trip with us over the lino, 1 J.OWN DKSVILLE, J Ihc present terminus, is entitled to special notice. This is one of the ancient towns of Carolina, delightfully situated in a fertile region I covered with magnificent forests of oak and hickory, where gushing springs of ice cold water, purling streams, lofty hillsand verdant valleys are ever challenging the admiration | of the visitor. It is the centre of a refined and elegant society which, left prostrate and helpless by the cruel fortunes of wai*, and de- < pr'.ved until now of railroad and market facilities, has had a hard struggle for existence. Still they have held their own bravely, and with the opening up of the avenues of commerce anil daily communication with the busy world, we trust will come renewed life ! and energy, anil a new departure in the roud lo prosperity. Tho town was settled In l.c3l, but had Its 1 charter renewed In 1A72. It contains three | handsome white churches, one school, one carriage shop, six business places, three doetors (but no lawyer), and 20J inhabitants. nruinvn ?i>i>ivr:?s.

The hotel was erected ! by senator George Mel>uthe ami others,! a?d hither the most illustrious dignitaries of the commonwealth were wont to congregate every summer. The water was considered highly medicinal. The new road passes through what wa* once one of the most opulent urtd fertile districts of the State, but the creed for cotton aud wretched system of culture pursued by the slave owners told fearfully upon the soil. Much of it was greatly Impovei Ished or allowed to wash away. There still remains, however, broad expanses of virgin forest, ami the larger portion of the cleared land is suseeptible of _ speedy renovation under the salutary system 1 of hillside ditching, terracing, rotation of crops, liberal fertilizing and "intensive iurin- ( i"g." MOUNT CAttMF.r.j eighteen miles from Lowndesville, Is a very old place and has been last asleep for ft fly years. The scream ot tne locomotive whistle, however, has inlused new life inly the people, i and seveial new buildings in progress show tli.it they are beeomlnji aiivc to their Lrue Interests. 'i he town is noted for its health and contains six stores, one church, one school and one carriage shop. KXTKAOKDINAUY I.OXCKVITY.

AN INTEKKST1NU KKMINISCENCE. The writer has the highest authority for the truth of the following romantic incident in the career of the great ami learned Dr. Wad- i dell. A native of Virginia, he resolved to ( see it his lortunes farther South, and, mounted upon a trusty steed, started lor Georgia. After several days of diligent travel he found himself at nightfall at the residence of Mrs. Calhoun, the mother of the illustrious slates- 1 man, and asked for accommodations tor himself ami horse; ilc was met at the door by a , lovely girl, to whom the request was made, she replied, "I will ask my mother, sir." 1 n.-taii'ly seeking the lady of the house she said : "Mother, you remember the dream last nisilit that 1 related to you to-day, in which a traveler who was to be my KCTCItF. IlfSBAND called nl lite door (describing him minutely) I 1 ?. I .. I.'I'lml rnillli-. I innn Is now :il tue gale and begs to bo accommodated." The result was that the handsome young stranger was admitted, and made a most favorable impression upon both mother and daughter. Indeed it was almost a rax*of love at tiist sight. The next day young Waddeil, before taking bis departure. asked the privilege ot corresponding with Miss Calhoun, but was denied on the ground of Hieir brief ae(|i>aintaucp. This brought forth ample letti'rs ami testimonials from hiuli sources in Vlrginia as to the character and good standing of the young man. our hero then proceeded on his journey, and opened a >chool in Columbia county (la. He aftcrwasds visited liis inamorata, paid his addresses to her, was accepted, and to make a i long story short, they were man led, and thus it will be seen the tirst wife of Hr.
