Qen. Wagene's Addres3, Delivered in Charleston la.t Tuezday night, on the subject of Immigration, was realy a splendid effort. The General be gan with a sketch of the history of South Carolina, her geography, including soil, climate, rivers, forests, etc., productions, sanitary condition, government, schools, churches, railroads, waterpower, and va ried resources. generally. The remarks were in good taste, vigorous well-timed, and deserved. We regret our inability to publish the address entire, owing to its length, and our want of space, and can therefore only append an extract or two : The immense superiority of South Carolina over almost every other State in the Union as an agricultural country, consists in this, that whilst she can grow the great staples of Cotton, rice, tobacco, and sugar with profit-especially the un equalled long staple Sea Island Cotton, and the valuable long grained rice of the Santee and Pee Dee-her climate and soil are equally adapted to produce every grain and fruit of the northernmost clime, and her waterpower is so available and uuiversally distributed that mills and factories may ve established every few miles within difficulty, to woik up her produce on the spot, and monopolize every resource of her economical pros pet ity. As a law-abiding and ordinary commu nity, South Carolina can have no supe rior; and to her the report of the Honor able Mr. Peters, the great agriculturist of New York, on the condition of the South, peculiarly applies, that "here the en forcement of the laws is as rigid as it has ever been, and persons and property quite as safe; and that in nor.e of the other States of the Union-not excenting any-are the people better protected, or the laws more impartially enfbbrced. As a liberal and enlizbtened communi ty, South Carolina can fu'ly compare with Old Virginia, the home of Wahin,g ton and Jefferson. The European emi grants that look to the American co:t nent for a home for their children, hod sever forget that there was a time, not many years ago, when in the North and rest the spirit of fanatictsm was r-uu pant against them, burning their church es and schools, and endeavoring n ith a,i its might to exclude them for a long term of twenty-one years from every p'liica right and privilege, and that it was Dem ocratic South Carolina that was one of the strong pillars of their protection, and that never ceased for a moment to pro elain in the councils of the nation, that this is a country of equal rights, and a refuge for the distressed and opprcssed of all peoples. On the Savannah there is a monument for the Polish hero, Pulaski; on th a San tee there is a monument for the German bero, DeKaIb; anid never is the great day of Carolina's glory, the anniversary of Moultrie, commiemorated without a grate ful allusion to the Irish hero, Jasper. As a religious community, South Caro lina can proudly refer to her hundreds of churches, that point their spires to hea yen fron her hills and dales everywhere. And not in pharisaical self-righteousness, but with the truly Christian liberality that knows no difference whatever in sect or creed, but appreciates the good i n all. As a prosperous and progressive comi miunity, South Carolina, although having every element of wealtb within the reach of her grasp, is just now in a less hap py position than might be desired. Tihis must be candidly confes-d. But, at the same time, the causes thereof may be as eandidly indicated, and the sure and ef feetive remedy suggested. IIeret ofor e, the St::te relied for her prosperity exclu sively uipon the rich results of her agri cultural pursuits. H er system o f A frican slavery enabled her opulent i:lanters to do without ev-ery other branch of indus try but that of cultivating the scil. And even in that, their whole attention was given to the raising of.the great staples of commerce, and very often even their bread and meat were imported from oth er parts of the woild. Their tools and implement,<, their wagons, ploughs, har rows, spades, axes, etc., their boots and shoes, their wearing apparel--all were imported from the North or from I-urope. * In this manner slavery which enriched the people by means of the great prolits of their staple produce, yet in reality im poverished them by their dependence 0: others, and by preventing that universal and ciose industry which enables human society to create within itself all that is requisite to the necessities, comforts and luxuries of life. But now. slavery has been forever abolished. The A frican has become free anud his own~ mraster. And where is now the hope ? The hope-the sure guaranty-of success is in the elas ticity, deter mined courage, and manly fortitude of the GJarolinians. lnsteadl of repining and sor:;o,iIng o'.er the lost comforts and riches of the past, they are boldly and manfully grappling with their necessities of the present, aid not un frequently the planter if former dayvs may be seenm gniding his plough or smit ing with his aNe, with an energy which will insure his future prosperity. It has been reported that manual labor was not honorable in the South. If this ever was a truth, hard work and steady employ have now become facshionable ; and w ho ever cultivates his fields best, and is per sonally- most industrious, is the most successful anid the greatest gen;tlemnan. And the immigraui t, as a brother aiorking man, wvill be heartily n elcomed, :and w ill meet with encouragements acnd friend ly offices wherever lhe exhibits habits of industry, frugality, honesty, and thrift. And the Carolinian, furthermore, instead as formerly preferring goods from abroad, will now prefer an article made at home, and feel proud of his choice. What an opening for the mechanic of every trade! Every town, everyv villige inu the State has need of such, and will atTord themt a competency. Let them come !

In furtherance of the plan adopted the cash system-we have stricken from the subscr iption books many names of persons who have failed to pay up. Some of them are in arrears from one to six months, and we have no doubt are perfectly good for the amount and a great deal more, but we cannot live on a man's goodn ,ss, or intention to pay some day.

Suits and Executions, &c.-Genere.1 Orders No. 10. In this week's issue we publish General Orders No 10, of the comrianding General of this District, embracing North and South Carolina. This is a just and timely measure It will secure io the peop'e what was dcnied to them by julic!al construction and Legis, lative inaction. The exigency of the timnes demanded juat such a measure of relief. The condact of creditors, since the Courts have been opened, has 'ecu such as to de serve the stern rebuke which this order gives them, and to require their oppressive hands to be stayed by competen authority. To have permitted :hem to proceed as they have begue, would have been, in the language of the order, "to sacrifice the general good." It is a melancholly fact that, in every com, muanity, there arc to be found persons, whose hearts of stone are affected by no appeal of even want and suffering, where it conflicts with their greed of gold. We invite the special attention of all such to the terms of this order, that they may learn what it seems their Bibles have never taught them, a little compassion, a little forbearance, towards their poor, distressed neighbors. The strong arm of power, it Is hoped, wvill indoctrinate them on certain p)oints which their cate, chisms have failed to instill into their minds! These Orders are wise emanations, yet, like all papers of this class, so difficult of absolute completeness. It is clearly seen that the military commander oppreciates the sad ei"'itionl of our people, arnd wishes to rel' ;ve them, as far as he ean, from burdens that press to the wall. And when the law begins to operate, we respectfully suibutL that the General may discover that it weighs heavily upon Administrators, who cannot take action upon the assets of estates in their hands., while legatees, distributees and minors can proceed against them, or we have misread or m1isunderstood the order. Upon, the whole,however,it gives satisfaction. Sim, pie justice may not be altogether pleased with it, but mercy is delighted1, for it leans to mercy's side! The debtor class, (much 1 the larger) helplessly made so by the tre, mendous issues of the day deserve the bene fit of doubts, always. Gen. Sickles discovers our wretched condition, and his sympathies are aroused..The first ofileial act of one in vested with almost ab:o lute power is that of huaman ity. Let us take heart, and "rise from the slough of despond'' if we have fallen there; recupe rate our wasted energies; live economic'illy' divide our little earnings between the simple and frugal wants of our families and the just claims of our creditcrs; love mercy, deal just ly, and look to the mighty mgis of Omnip otence, alonc, for that illumination of mind v.hich shall carry us safely through impend ing gloom.

Union District Bible Society. Mn. EDITon :-Permit me to state for the information of the friends of Bible distribution in Newberry I)istrict, what is doing for this holy cause in Union District. During the month of February, 1848, a Bible Society was organized at Union C. II., for Union District, and it having become defunct during the war, on the morning of the 14th of April, 1S67, after preaching a sermon by request in the Baptist Church, in the town of Union, I organized a new Bible Society, for Union District, as auxiliary to the Amecican Bible Society, in which is in cluded all (enominations for the distribu tion of the Bible "without note or com ment" among all d;stitute readers alike. Officers-Dr. Joseph JJ. Dugan, Presi dent ; Judge F. N. Dawkins, Vice Pre sident ; William A. Nicholson, Secretary ; William Eller, Tre.isu:er. liard of MIanagers, Rev. 0. A. Darby, Chairman --Ge n. W. H. Wallace, Dr. D). 3M. fIreaker. Cofl. I. C. McKissick, Rev. 1). A. Todd, Messrs. Steadman, Thompson, W. A. Nicholson, W. Eller. The following Preamble and resolu. tions were adopted by the S->ciety: Whereas the American Bible Society in its generous effort to supply needy Sabbath Schools and indigent persons of the Southern States with copies of the Holy Scriptures, has made a donation to the Union District Bible Society, of >75 volumes valued at $10.00 cents, There fore; Resolved, That the metnhcrs of this auxiliary Society, express its thanks to the A:merican Bible Society, for this co:t; ibution, which entbies us to place a copy of the precious word of God into the hands of a portion at least, of the destitute in our vicinity. Resolved, That we will earnestly pray that the blessing of Alighty God, may rest upon this noble institution, and make it the rource cf inra'culable blessings to our country and the world. Rcsolved, That our indef::tigable and eatimable State Agent, Rev. E. Bolles, be requested to furward these resolutions to the Parent Society. Fifty-seven memo rs were enrolled with contributions. 'I his Society is wrthv of emulation. May God bless and prosper it. During the year 1865, the Goshen Hill Bible C;ommritte in Union District, wais formed. Rev. H. M. MIood, Chair man, and it was supplied with a dona tion of several hundred Bibles and Testa ments, by the American Bible Society, and also about the same time the Rev. A. A. James, palstor of two Presbyterian churches in this district, received a donia tion of several hundred copies of the Scriptures from the Parent Society for dist:ibution among all renders alike. By request of the Pastor, Rev. D). A. Todd, I preached in the Presbyterian Church, in the town of Union on Sabbath afternoon the 14th inst.. to a large con gregaition. My visit to this town was very pleasar t. I cannot ever f->rget the kindness and hospitality (of my friends, D)r. and Mrs. D)ogon, and also the hearty attentions of Rev. Messrs. D)athy, Todd, Breaker and others. I owe a deh~t of gratitude to the noble, patriotic and ener-getic, Thomas B. Jeter, Esq., Pr esi dent Spartanburg and Union Rail Road, for his kindness in passing me free over his road for 1867. May the blessings of heaven ever rest upon the people of the town of U~nion.'

Tnc1~ WonaKN FarMn.-Amonrg. our exchanges we find a monthly agricultu ral Journal, bearing the above title, pub. ished by Wmn. L. Allison & Co., at 58 Courtlandt Street, New York.

Enrrons: Owing to the pressing ncessities of the country, a wise and just discrimination ought to be exercised by Raircad Agents, as to the ch:iss of goods, which requires the most expeditious trans portation, and whilst it is right that all men sho'ild eijoy egnal facilities in the transpor tation afforded by railroads, the peculiar exigencies of the times i:nperatively demand that a preference should be given to Corn, on which man and beast live, and for a short while Guano-as it is needed to put on thle crop now plantted. Thie condition of thintgs it is to be hoped, will niot continue more than three or four mnonthls. The com-. munity will be greatly benefitted if a generous symrpathy is evinced by shippers in yielding to the transit 'of corn for the sustenance of man and beast. This is writ ten for the express purpose of calling tho attention of Railroad Officials to the pressing demands of the who'e country, and hope it may have the dlesired effe~ct. PRO BONO PUBLICO.

The hall was thronged with the assembled beauty, and intelligence of the community. Rev. Mr. Miekles' address was a mtaster piece of logic, replete with matter germain to the subject, and happily rendered in his peculiarly earnest and impressive style of delivery. He was followed by Mr. Henry Wingard, a young theologian of the New berry Lutheran College, whose remarks were generally well conceived and given. Mr W. bids fair in a short ?hile, (1hould he be spared to cultivate a little of the graces of diction,) to make a capital speaker. lie has conquered half the battle-lie has cot, fidence. Next Friday night, D. V., at the usual hour, an address may be expected by Rev. M3r. Zealy. In this connection, and in behalf of the Society, a cordial invitation is extended to all to be present on that occasion. To YE LovYEns -cGi APT:rt 2.
