EDITOR :-vAs you were not per mitted to attend the Augusta Fair, we feel strongly tempted to giro your read ers a graphic de sc rip ti ou ; but as it seem ed to us a failure, of course we can not feel sufficiently inspired to do the sub I ject justice. As most of the articles ex hibited on that occasion can at any time be seen in shop windows on Broad Street,1 you need not grieve over your disap- j point ment, but console yourself with the j thought of a half dollar saved.- We re gret very much to say that it was a fail ure ; but who is to blame ? Not the poo-, pie of Augusta; for they have done all that can be done to make it a success. The Fair grounds have been erected and finished with every convenience, com fort and luxury, for man and beast, at no little expense, and upon a scale of magnificence unequaled. And yet the poo ?So of the States contiguous have not, as yet, been induced to give it that pat ronage which is naturally expected, and so eminently merited. There is a screw loose somewhere, and perhaps several. We think there is one loose in the Pre mium List-or rather in the Entry Fees, where every Exhibitor is made to pay two dollars for contributing to the success of the Fair. Tt is true he gets a ticket of j admittance to .he fair during the week, but there are few who would like to at tend more than two days. We hope the Managers will detect aUQthe loose screws, and by the next year we may hope to have an Exhibition, not only creditable to the city of Augusta, but worthy of the As sociated Cotton States. The land in Richmond county is most ly sandy-some sand-hill and some sand bottom-while there is a portion of rich river bottom. The sand-hill lands pro duce water melons, potatoes and peas, peaches apples and grapes ; whilo the sand bottom lands are peculiarly adapt ed to cotton, corn, hay, Irish potatoes, strawberries and vegetables of all kinds. Both these kinds of land ar? most pecu liarly adapted to commercial, and every other kind of fertilizer, known to agri culturists. While some of our neighbors still have cotton on the. brain, the majority are planting the short crops, and farm gardens. By contrasting the short-crops with tho never ending cotton crop, you will have some idea how so many peo ple make a living on poor sandy land Ono acre planted in green peas, Irish po tatoes, early squashes, spring tumips, dee., will yield at least fifty dollars by the first of May. Then planted in can telopes and watermelons will yield at least seventy-five dollars by the middle of August ; and then by the first of Oc tober from the same acre is gathered fif teen dollars worth of peavines and crab grass ha}'. One hundred and forty dol lars per acre ! And if the early vegeta bles are followed by sweet potatoes, one hundred and fifty bushels may be made and sold at $1,25 per bushel. Two hon dradand thirty-seven?dollars!- How ls that for high? Farming OH paper is the fnosf luxuri ous vocation under tho sun, It is a great pity that theory and practice, as well an expectation are so distinctly different, I and so widely apart Although tho fore ^ping figures seem to be very extrava gant, w? have neighbors who report larger yields, u1** having boen in the county but a short we will not question the veracity of such reports, but can not-as yet-vouch for them e^oeri mentally. Labor is scarce, unreliable, and high. So many hands aro employed on the ca nal and the Port Royal Rail Road at $1.25 per day, that few hands, and only such as are inferior, are i? ft (op tba farms. The negro in this State is better off and more Independent than in South Caroli na. Here the majority are settled on little farms worked by the wife and chil dren, while the lords of Africa, work out at high wages. Ho is here protected in his rights by a white man's govern ment. And we believe, from close ob servation, they ore better satisfied. But the South Carolina darkies won't believe it. Speaking oxporimeutly upon the sub. I ject of labor, we have found it hard to get, and in our trouble, we are forcibly reminded of the following stanzas by a gifted son of Edgefield, still in your midst-a poet unknown to fame-who so pathetically descritas the situation, that wc can not forbes? using nis thunder : LINKS SUOOESTED jay BEI%Q NJ?OKR I. ESS. What most my cares could ease just now, And help me feed my pigs and sow, Turn in the calf and milk the cow? A Nigger. Who, all the wood could haul and chop, My victuals cook and empty slop, Tho water draw the floors to mop A Nigger. What-all things do that come io band From cooking pies to tilling land j What makes us all a happy band f A Nigger. Whatever may be said, or vainly hop ed by the advocates of immigration, we, Southern born and bred, will ever look to the darkies as the only kind of labor that will either pay or satisfy. Through ignorace it is not uncommon that the ne f gre will demand more for his labor than the employer can give. This begets in him a distrust in the white man's hon esty, and hence it is almost impossible for the two to agree. Nor can we see how this difficulty would be obviated by any other kind of labor, unless it be in telligent labor. And yet lt ia worse than folly to hope that the negro; when edu cated, will continue to labor. What the end will Ibo this doponet saith not J. H. M. I DI. K WILDE, GA., 23d Nov., 1872. ' pm- A Vermont paper congratulates the people of that State upon the fact that a majority of the members of the present Legislature are temperance men. From the Abbeville Medium. Starve or Pay f . E^-Governor Perry has.written a let ter/forthe journals which, $oes not meet with a warm reception in many quarters. The y policy" of his Exc?U?ncy touching -the hire of the freedmen and the control of their votes will be generally condemn ed. The freedmen will, of course, . reject the Governor's plan, and the white man too, because he will find \t impracticable and unfair. It is not for us to propose a plan in the room of that from the Sage pf Greenville, baton one occasion tho advice of the humble Hushai was adqpted in prefer ence to the counsel of the Oracular Ahi thophel.1 v . Instead of starving the freedmen into voting, for Democrats for office^-who Would reduce the taxation-would it not be bet ter to say to them that they '' are at per fect liberty to vote just as they please, only, if they vote for men who would im pose unreasonable taxes to fill their own Jlockets, they could not work on -their J arms unless they agreed to sad in paying the tax their votes imposed. Thus, Sambo goes oat in quest of & home for the next year and! calls upon Mr. Billy Jones : Sambo-Well, mass Billy; t l want to engage myself to work or farm it for another year. Can you gi ve .me employ ment? J, Jones-Why, yes, I need apod hands ; but I have come to the conclusion not to hire the freedmen who, by th?jr votes, are crushing me with Ux.es, unless they will aeree to pay part of the enormous taxes. My taxes last year were $300?imposed by the men you voted into office. 1 cannot afford to pay such a tax for many years ; [Therefore, if you work for, iawl will give you and others, the half of wmt the la rm will yield-you bearing ' a ceBain propor tion of the expenses of running the farm, and then when the crop is g?pered-be fore it is divided-there mustpe enough taken out of the whole crop fo pay tue tax, after which we wHl. di^?e the bal ance, half-and-half. What say you to that, my honest friend ? Sambo-Bless . you, Mass tBilly, that would be too hard on a poor'Jigger, and it would be forcing me tu YO? for your candidate, contrary to the lawl Jones-No, no, Sambof youanust vote 'for your own men, and I will do the same, and if you send honest menjfflinake laws -who will impose moderate^wes-I will pay them; but if you send men to burden me and break me, you mustj&lp to bear j the burden. Is it not reaaont?fie ? Sambo-Well, Mass Billy/. B looks so indeed; and, if I can't do better, I'll call on you again. Ihis scheme may be considered unfair, and any scheme would be .unfair in the eyes of those who would p?V?dollare on the white man, but nothing on the freed man. If the negro will "go it bltnf" and im pose enormous taxes on othe?jf'or elect to ? effice those who will, wi thout regard to his | own interest, or the good of the men who pay him for his services, w<hv, let him lelp to pay, and after he^ewj^/ew times lie will elect good men from msnwn party, if he can find them, and tf-'nOt he will ohoose good and honest raemfrom the oth er side if he can find them: What the country needs is.;?tgnest men \ in office; and, as the colored men have control of the ballot-box it"is rtheir duty and their interest to elect such men. H. The Ring Repudiates: Striking events have followed each other so thick and fast, of late, in that wicked little financial world of which Columbia is the centre, that one very remarkable development has so far failed to attract the tull share of attentiun which it de serves, and which, under any other cir cumstances, it would surely have received. We mean the fact that the present State Administration, as it calls itself, or " The South Carolina King," as it is called by almost everybody else, bas already, by its formal and officialactiou, repudiated about six ftfillio-ns of the new conversion bonds wjij.cii th,e Legislatpre last, spring, in pass ing the so .called validating act, attempted to saddle upon tho people as part of their legitimate public debt. Comptroller-Gen eral Neagle, in his recent attempted tax levy, which has been so cleverly nipped in the bud by the timely action of Judge Melton, takes pains to specify the particu lar classes of pul/]ic securities, which are recognised as consenting the public debt, and pointedly ignores a po ut six million of the bonds iu'fiJi}defj ?fi Me Validating act. . The taxpayers will naturally be puzzled to fathom the meaning pf this unsought, and certainly unexpected, act of graco on the part of a Ring with whom selfishness has been, from first to last, a control lin: principle. We have reasoB to believe that the explanation ia this : The out-going officials found the lines tightening around thein much more suddenly and uncom Portably than they had anticipated. In the. brief period that remained to, them to control the public funds they saw that it would be utterly impracticable to bleed the people freely enough and fast enough ?o pay interest to tue holders of the fraud ulent' fronds, and at the same, time to pay the hund?a pf tj}puaanq>in extravagant and spindling 'flWfjS Hfflf^ rffl*1 which'have been 'bought ijp at a iperp fraction of their face valus, Slid Sie now held, by these same members of the Ring. In this dilemma they ?id not hesitate long in deciding upon their eouiw "Charity begins at home," they reasoned; and they incontinently cast overboard their inno cent and confiding friends, the Northern bondholders, in the effort to? save them selves and their " little bills." Thanks to ?he intrepid conduct of Treasurer-elect Cardoao and Judge Mel ton, their pretty game is hardly likely, to win ; but, m any event, let all the world bear witness that the formal and deliber-' ate repudiation of the fraudulently issued bonds of the State of South Carolina ia' the official act, not of the ..taxpayers; nor even of the newly1 elected administration^, foujt pf Jhp yery men who originally pb* ed those bonds uoopth? pTf?ir?nd whp, unless common report dow wm gnevopjj wrong, have quietly pocketed the pro? ceeds.-Charleston News. u a a A e n fi n t!

To deport fou five millions of human beings across boisterous Atlantic from one condign another is a matter of some maguitui but, as shown by the history of Europ emigration, when it becomes profita following the channels of commerce,, bj means insurmountable.
