No in tu est was more important to the wealth and generd prosperity "f the State iL.\n the agrlcultuial. li was propi r for this ??terest4o ral.y and bestir it self-well for it to secure the advantages tLat spring from organized and systematic effort-well for it tocxttt the influent-? to* which i: was entities'. Col. T. stated that among the many subjects ?I thought suggested by thc occasion none ?ns mon important than that of Labor. This seemed lo bethe question of the day. On this point Col. 1'. remarked that his views were very decided. He regarded it unnecessary to roier in detail tc thc events of thc last live j ears. Wo stood amid changed circumstances. He was no: there to rake up the ashes of pas- issues-to lament events that had passed into the domain of history. It was a wise philosophy to ac-ept, without sacrifice of principle, accomplished facts and to mould and fadden lo our purpose suck elements ns we might hud arouud us. L :t this be done wisely and di?, erectly and en rgctica!!y,aud it was often possible to eliminate what ?as Obnoxious, establish what wai a-ivautagtoa?, and out of chaos to bring order. Col. T. went on to say that a brief reso lution which he had the honor to present in thc late State Agiieu.Uural Convention concisely indi cated his opinions on the Labor question. Ile regarded it tbs policy of ii:e South to wake thc most of ?mr present labor, ar.d at the santo tim? to rrf-ir.fv.rco ourselves with foreign aid Northern white laborers as rapidly and as fully is our means and opportunities .-hull allow. Tho negro was in eur midst-be was on hand-he understood our modes nf cultivation- his lubor was ebsap politics aside, his control was easy. Although therefore be might often prove unreliable, and may bcci iue ?nore so, we must and woning from thc necessity of the case, utilize his lab?-give it fuir encouragement-in tine make th? most of it. To nailer:.".1 c at once to throw feb labor aside-ST pn>uuuiiit against-lt would I? fl,'ly - would i e to give a bird hi thc han.X r tro-ia Ihe bush. At the saine tini?. whilst miking ihe mist of negro labor, Col. T. was cordially Hudjecidod ly in favor of introducing other Inborpu tho Southern country.

As for himself, be nhl nut look for the soluti >n of the problem in this Held. He was not partial ta the disciples of Ju!.-he wanted the tare neither of their persons Uortheir bones. (We learn that every Chinaman who agrees to come -.vcr from China contracts to bc sent back, or in c.:?e he dies, the contract '."njrees to transport his boue* buck to the Celestial But pire!) Col. T. thought that the introduction of t.v>!io laborers into the Cotton States might lead to a mush-room growth-to an evanescent prosprrity. I!:.-: not in this way he lliought v as IkO/fabric of Southern^prosperity to be reared upon an endu ring b isis, lie took it for granted that it was in Lvjjded lo build up this Souihcrn conufry, ?nd t?, ni -bc it H desirable country for oursclvei, our children, end our children's children.

Thc floor above it wa? ilevo ?ed to the sons. Here was Napoleon's room and his burea.i ! The floor above thal for i ho boys was tlntt occupied l?y the daughters. There was a very small terrace looking DWI from the reception room, willi ?lowers in pots-all in ??loom. This reception room contained live little winn rc mirrors, ns high as your head, running down each side; and "th:ce other mirrors near them, and om- grund mirror at either end of thc room. Jn tact, we counted some fifteen mirrors in thi> room. The Napoleons were well provided with looking glasses. We cannot say as much for any of the other houses we have seen. What effect these mirrors had upon the young Napoleon, i will leave, with oihei- reflections, to the reader. Two brackets for wax ta pers hung below each little mirror. The : ceiling was ribbed, it had ?eon new'ly] plastered, with some lillie effort at, frescoe. . The mother's portrait, very finely executed, hung over her dressing table, lt presents her as a splendid \ woman. Tim cabinets were inlaid with every-colored marble, and very antique; ffome riu-e objects sent by Napoleon, from Egypi were seen. Bui the chief attraction was the bed on which Na poleon wnq horn.

Just above us-where I write-we are point ed out a grotto made by the bowlders, and surrounded with foliage and musi cal with birds, as the favorite study spot of the yoting Napoleon. The spot commands a beautiful view of the bay ami the suow-elad mountains, around. From it can bo seen, upon a clear day, the Island ol' Sardinia.

From the Pacific States we receive excellent accounts of .the Chinamen. The owners of woolen factories prai.se ihein as the best of workmen. Ten thousand* Chinamen were employed on thc Central Pacific Railroad, andar? highly spoken of by tho oiKoors and firemen. Their work is ful!.uni honest.

The many convicts that now fill our jails, worlc houses and penitentiary can be made a source of revenue to the Slate, as our neighbors on thc Savannah River have done.

The convicts baiit the greater portion of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Road from Cross Plains to Rome, and are now building the Dalton Branch. Suine two hundred and fifty are also at work on the Macon and Brunswick Road.

Eet Governor Scott, follow General Roger's example, and hire cut these convicts, and not subject the im poverished tax-payers of our State to the additional expenso of feeding them.

The accused was tal?en before Justice Fd ls that night ?md being una ble to give the bail required-one thou I sand dollars-was committed to the ; city Jail to await an investigation.

The case is a very singular one. :>nd, as a recital of thc circumstances on wV^ch the prosecution is based may not prov* devoid of interest, we give them in de tail below. The city readers of tho Chronicle an I ?Sentinel will remember that in the early part of last month a row occurred in the neighboring toWii of Hamburg. Routh Carolina, which resulted in the wound ing of the Town Marshal, Kennedy, by a young man named Keyes. On the fourteenth of that month Hubbard ar j rived in Hamburg from Columbia, arm ! ed with authority from the Governor of South Carolina r'o arrest Keyes and all other parties supposed to have been im plicated in tho gh'ooting affair. On his arrival in Haiiiburg, Hubbard and his deputies arrester]*several of the citizens of the place on suspicion, anion;- others the two eomplm'nnnts/Flint and Sharp ton. On the evening of the fourteenth the prosecutors allege that Hubbard and Iiis officers brought them from Ham burg and tho State of South Carolina into this city, and procuring a room at thc Globe Hotel confined their prisoners in it until the next morning, despite tho fact that this hotel was situated iii the State of Georgia and not within the ju risdiction of Soul h Carolina. On thc morning following this imprisonment the party went to Columbia, and after an examination tiie prisoners were re leased on bail and returned to their homes. On last Saturday night Mr. Flint became aware of thc presence of Hubbard in this city, and tonk r.uf a warrant for iii.? apprehension. He was discovered that night about ten o'clock by the officers, on Ellis street, and was arrested aj?j? carried before Justice rills with rhc-jp?sult ab?Vo described. .

'These terms, he says, they accepted and spent that night at the hotel without the employ ment of any force whatever, and next morning accompanied Lim to Columbia. This, we confess, does not sound like a very probable story; and circumstances are certainly against thc accused. lr may nor be. known that Hubbard was once au actor in tho most cruel and wicked tragedy which lias ever disgrac ed Hie annals of a civilized country tho judicial murder ol' Mrs. Snrratt for a clime of which she has been proved to have boen totally. innocent, yet* wo aro informed thar Hubbard has boasted to one of his prisoners the part he play ed in that evs&t. Jie is reported io haye said thai ho was employed by the Unit.'d Slates Government as a detec tive at the time of thc trial, and visit ing in disguise tho cell of the unfortu nate woman, he was enabled to worm enough out of hei to appear before the murderous tribunal as a witness. He is also said io have declared that after the execution took place ho cut thc rope from which tho body was suspended, and still has thc knife with which he did ir in his possession. If this tale be true, he must be a. most abandoned monitor, and one is ready to believe any charge which may bc made against the man. Who could act this base part in tho murder of an innocent woman. Hubbard appeared to be very indig nant yesterday morning at this exami nation, that a gentleman so loyal as him self, and ono holding so high a position under a loyal State government, should" bo arrested and incarcerated on the affidavits, of two Ku-klux Democrats. When the amount ol* his bail had been' decided ripon ho immediately sonta dis patch to Gov. Scott, informing the lat ter of his difficulty, and then went up town, in tho custody of an officer to search for bondsmen. Later in the day Gov. Scott sent a telegram to this city announcing that he would be responsi ble for the amount of bail required, and on tho strength of this bail "was procured and tho prisoner released un til next 3^p.uday morning, when he will appear before J ustice Ells for a prelimi nary examination. Thc accused is coarse looking but well made, sports an enor mous black moustache and scorn'- to bc a man of a groat deal cf intelligence and shrewdness.

It is instructive to review the p. gross of the Abolitionists. By do this, their original design of proceed: cautiously, step by stej?,_to the accc plishment, finally, of thorough ne; equality, socially and politically, is i ly revealed. Their final purpose, the outset, when they set np tho h moral intent of delivering ike slave fi the necessity oX compulsory labor,y concealed from view, that they mi the more easily enlist men in a cr. that involved breach of faith to St: and breaking thc bonds of our Fed? Union. The first, step was to ex sectional hatred ;-thc next was to fi. a geographical party ; thor, came dict ion and civil war ; and now the undi guised demand for absolute equalit) more level and intimate than ever be fore practiced among the diff?rent or ders of white rociety. An exchange describes this downward march as fol lows : Those who : arted thc Abolition cr\V sade had bur ? ie idea, and that was tho complete political and social quality of tito races. This was the real ground work of their philosophy. But know ing the unpopularity/ of this view, it was conceal: I . om public sight as far as possible. Ti ere was no connection, wo were told, between emancipation and social and politic:1.1, freedom. But no soonc1 was the? first obtained, through tl blood of a million o?' whites, and, the expenditure of moro than six thousand millions of treasure, than thc disguise began to be thrown off. The next objective point was negro voting. Beyond wah negro eligibility io offices.

While thc farsighted saw this, to many of the dupes it is a matter of astonishment. They little suspected the amount of the nt-^ro stock they were taking when they first went into the enterprise. Little by little they were led on until, apparently by the logic of necessity, they found themselves at a point from which they would have re coiled in horror a few years ago. We submit that it is about time for them to drop this agitation and allow the country to attend to its legitimate business, from which it has been so long diverted, and to once more erect the high wall of division between tho races, politically and socially.---Pittsburgh, (Pa.)
