Col. T.'expressed h is acknowledgment for tho
honor of the invitation. He carno tn maker o
elaborate address, bul proposed bi i- Hy and ii a
suggestive way to give bis views on ihe subjects
that oanctracd the Club. He regarded lite forma
tion of an Agricultural :ind Immigration Chilla!
Ratesville a good and wise movement. 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. Wenewled.andgreatlyii itded,
additional labor. Statistics shew that only about
live j-er cent cf the area of tho South w$ annu
ally cultivated, and here in South Cardin:: wy;
have 11,62v,S59 acre of umtwjiroctd bul in
fartas U' .! 582,1 GO acres of iM/>'ored!and itfarmr;
The quettion w.: . ah?: kind ut labor V.\K ly be
invited and bticatiragjd. This it was tint was
n ?.v engaging 'ho min.ls of men in this lection.
Co". T. w;s aware that uianv very it.ttl ?gent
gentlemen looked :o- re?et to the tecsdtg mil
lions of Cbiaa, a id advocated the ihtrodultion of
Coolies into our mies:. 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?,

were to be considered We More now evi\ring

I of mind and morals as well BSmuscle and-eap
Hence it is, remarked Col. T., that ho loo
for relief,.first to ourselves; and ?ext to the ]
j dueers of ?he North and of Northern Euri
I Let us welcome in our midst ?ho farmers of
: North with their capital, their energy, and tl

, Cot T. then referred to the workings of
j Newberry Tinmigration' Society, ?nd txplcii
: how under its auspices ail paris of thc St
j miirlit obtain 0orman labor?is. *
j Cid. THOMAS oe3"* proceeded to consi.lor
j r.*m?dy for tho pres nt scarcity of labor. L?
,' wis now scarce^ A full supply could not be -
j ta'nod at once. The stream of immigraiion coi

? dies. 1st, To reduce the area under cultivation

I and manare more heavily. 23. To resort to
bor-raving implements. Col T. adverted lo i

The address was well received, the audience
manifesting their approval by vigorous cheering
several times during its delivery and at lae con

Upon motion, Genl. PAUL QUATTI.BBUM, Col.

? *A recess of about an houf wa:: then announced,
; during which thc tables we e rprcad with an abun

Although thc crowd that tbrouged thc board made

yet it waa syricuiatfc ami oiderly--thero was a

L)in:>er over, the crowd was again invited to

Sim lives i:i the old s Kable opposite? my
hatter, which is neatly fitted up. Upon
the front of the Bonaparte mansion
there is an inciiption, that within this
house N.apoleson was boriL The house'

one of lin- In st nf its (hiv. lr is hardly
excelled even vor in Ajaccio. It shows
(hat thu family were u'well to-do" in
tho world. In fact, Madame Letitia's
family (lie Ramolinis) were Heb. ami
had immy estates upon tho island. When
she died, she bequeathed most, ot' lier
furniture lo the members of her family.
Thc present Emperor has collected most
(Vf the articles, a?:.I replaced them in
the house. Our cond lui ress loki us
what each object meant, find wb;.'.:e ;
room this and that was. The second
lloor was the Madame's heil chamber,
dining-room, salons, &c.-quito com
modious. 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. It was a wooden,
rickety a/fair ; near by ii was the sedan
chair of tho Madame, lt was well

in Krejieh-that Madame Letizia sur

breath. From this bed to .St. Helena;

with the daily round of boyhood pleas
ures and walks, he at the same time,
imbibed from j ho peculiar characteris
tics of tlio Corsicans their feuds and
feelings, which his grand, gloomy and
marvelous after-life illustrated. 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. Gardens of

From the Pacific States we receive
excellent accounts of .the Chinamen.

In California, I!Hj Chin?se ai?- found in

almost universally tho cooking, and en
gaged in hundreds of branches of in

OTfTTiibi^cheap labor. A writer in the
Cnllaxy sa.vs upon ibis subject :
"The sure result will bc that, in a i
few years, the small savings of Ibes?
workmen will, by accumulation, trans
forin the coolie of to-day into thc capi
talist, contracting to build railroads,
owning large farms and factories^ and
lines of ships, and making great com

many-sidedness of thc Yankee. What
: the Jews have been in banking, the
i Chinese may easily become in general
i commerce and industry on the Pacific
. coast."
?^tbe ?.-land ol'Java the Chinese
/iei - not far from 150,000. Their
j industry embraces the whole system ol'
i commerce, ynd they are found tobe
1 ((pially'well adapted for trade or agri
culture, in the English colony of Sing
'apore, 5p,000 out ol'a population of
: 80,000 are Chinamen ; and in an ener
j vating climate they retain all their na
i tive energy. This fact alono pr.'r?.-;
the fitness of the Chinese for the fields
j and plantations of the South. They
j can work wherever the African can
i work, and they have a patience, perse
veranee and frugal spirit which the
freedman has never possessed. And
that the Chinese have native capacity
is proved by the circumstance that from
Chula havp radiated many of the i'un
demental features bf Asiatic and even
of European civili; ation. Their inven

Why, then, looking at the broad fact
thai additional labor is our greatest
need, should there be any objection to
thu ir?trodnotion of Chinese immigrants
into tW? South? The Chinaman is sa
ving. pains-taking and industrious, and
will make a cheaper and better laborer

the onliuro of rico and cotton ibo Chi
naman is especially adapted, and there
is no department ol' labor in which he
cannot be .employed to advantage. . We
want the Chinaman to work in our
fields: we want him asa tiller of the

j The fact that Coven.ot" Scott is ad

with this road gives rise tv- a reasonable
presumption that it* completion may be
: looked for at an early day. Agentlc
I man of some exp?rience in such ,nat
I tors, writing to thc Courier, suggests
that a great portion of the road can be i
j built, and thu/ speedily, with convict
: labor. 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. General Huger, while
Military Governor of Georgia, leased
the penitentiary convicts of that State
to parties who obligated themselves to
pav ten dollars for each one per an
num, feeding and clothing thom. 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. The
contractor.- find them the best labor they
can get, and prefer them to free labor :
while the convicts prefer laboring in
thc open air to being shut np in cells,
by which means their condition is ameli
orated. 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.

? ?O'ri last Satiirajiy night a))put ten
o'clock John I'?, Hubbard; holding {lie
office o? State Contable of Southx?aro
lina. was arrested in this city on a war
' rant issued by Justice Ells, upon the af
I (idavit of William E. Flint, charging
: him with t.lie offence of false imprison
! nient. 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. On
yesterday-mornings the prisoner was
again brought jx-fore Justice Ells ou a
warrant issued at' thc ias{.aii?c "; ITeos.
aol rjl i a rp't on," charging him With thc
same offence,* and bail required in the
same amount as in thc previous instance.
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.

him at the railway station next morn
ing : Messrs. Sharpton and Flint he pro
posed that Ahoy should accompany his
officers and himself to the Globe Hotel
in this city for the nigTit, at the same
time informing them that soon as
they touched Georgia soil he would, of
course, have no authority over them,
and if they, remained with him they
would do so voluntarily. '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. He says that for some
time past he has been on the track of a
man by the name of Briscoe, whom he
styles a " notorious desperado and bush
whacker/' who has committed many
murders in South Carolina, and for
wlios..' apprehension there has boen a
reward of $5,000 offered. Ho says that
he had laid a trap for him which would
have resulted in Iiis arrest on Saturday
night had he not been arrested him
self. Tho accused was represented yester
day morning by Major J. P. Carr and

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.
That attained, and then social amalga
mation-negro in the trades, - negro in,
thc professions-negro a? thc first tab]r>
at the hotels-negro i n't he white man's
parlor-negro bridegroom to white bride,
and tice versa, was tuc great dciouciiicnt
of it all. 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,
