NEWBERRY, S. C. V&irda1 orning, March 31, 1869. We have received a copy of the speech of *e Hon. J. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, de livued in the House of Representatives, Jan' nary 23, 1869.

The great underr Vfg and never to be forgotton truth, that -btr and slf-sacrifice are at the bottom of al true achievement," is told in a happy ve- of thought.

LOCAL ITEMS. b -o- b t We are informed that (D. V.) Episco. a pal services will be held in the Newberry v Lutheran Church, on the first Sabbath a in April. Rev. Edward T. Walker, f e officiating. q Thousands of tons of Guano and other p fertilizers have come into our district f< e for the next crop of cotton. The like g has never before been known. Cotton P t and guano-guano and cotton-are the s absorbing thoughts now. We hope Q that our farmers may not be made bank- g rupt by this step, neither suffer any pecuniary loss, but it would be calani itous should the ensuing supply of cot ton prove so great in the South as to B bring the staple to its minimum price. 0 Solomon says something to this effect- o "that the man who hasteth to be rich, taketh unto himselt a snare." st A LAMENT.-The following lament by ti an unfortunate juryman will find a place is in many a heart which has suffered and b sled in the cause4bere lately. Of course fa it 's not understood or known by the a major:ty of our "readers, that we have ct court here about every other day, and that the nabbing or grabbing process is _ so frequent and common, that the man hi who ventures outside of his door without r sufficient cause is set down as one who has fully determined to face the music, and die, if need be, in the cause of his country. There is scarcely a man on ei business range who ventures out with out fear and trembling, as for us, we quake. We know of one individual, and a man who never feared before, and who v, r would before the days of these recon- h struction magistrate courts, have faced a a lion, who refused to go to his own shop to take a job of work, because he thought the person wanting hin had a Ti summons for him to sit as a juror. But is hear the lament of our friend: bt "I'm sitting on the Jury, Mary, Would I were by thy side, This tine March morning, glad and bright, st As when I made you my bride, W He grabbed me on the street to The cleik called ou': my name; in I told him you were sick, Mary, , vs But they boxed me all the same." tr Isn't it terrible? a Wuo is uE ?-TS there a little boy in st, town by the -nane of "Uli Damyer?" sp If there is, we have failed to discover Pe him, and yet the cry is constantly heard, "Uli Damyer." If he is here, why don't h he appear. We are satisfied it would C be a satisfaction not only to the it, h,oys who so earnestly call for him, but es to the people on the street if 'Uli' will .(on!r answer to his name, it would save fu the trouble of calling for him any more. Si shi [t's an tiglysname any how, and we are - not at all suirprised that these little boys el fail to receive a response to their call. LI Perhapsjt will be,better jr they stop ,6 calling on him any more. nau Not feelingsatistied about this thing, and a douhi vxistIng in our iiad whaeth- ( er it was the name of a boy or not, we determined since writing the above to P enquire of little chap juist only knee p high to a duck. n hat it meant, and hi reader will you believe it ? he told us it b-~ was no boys' name after all, hut an oath ! Ri Think of it, ye parents. Do you re- s member what the Rev. S. Leard, the ! Sunday School Agent said was done to b the lit tle boy who was guilty of using as like bad language. Some of you may not remember, and sonme may not have aC heard it ; well, it was this : the father of y that little boy took a piece of soap, some water and a towel, and *'ashed that boys' dirty mouth out clean, and then P' gave him such a thrashing ae he never fe forgot while he lived. Can you not r treat some of your boys to a similar Ti dose ? May be then we would not hear to any more calls for 'Uli,' and many other an dirty expressions, which shock the ~ passer by on the street, and which t causes bim to stop and inquire "has that little boy any parents." Look to A your children, mothers and fathers. cl THE IMflGRANtT, &c. -The subject of' vi Immigration is somewhat quiet just now. si But few new engagements will be made dur- Fi ing the ensuing Summer. The indefatiga. ni ble business agent, Mr. F. W. Brugge- se mann, is at present engaged in visiting the various plantations of our District, where bi the German laborer is employed, for the m purpose of adjusting any difficnlties that TI may have arisen between enmployers and of employees. Mr. Bruggeman is makinga preparations for a large business in the Fall; he is confident that the results of the c present year will warrant an extensive in troduction into our District of the German JE laborer. The natural prejudices overcome, hi on both sides, a daily increasing interest h must ensue. Every intelligent person is i aware of the prejudice that existed among ti the European peasantry towards the South, or because of her peculiar institution and ex- m lusive staple products; but one of those WC causes no longer exists-and the principal difficulty, is experienced by the employer, el who has to combat against the laborer's unacquaintLance with his language, which necessarily forces the employer to forego se much ease, &c-, in his effort to explain and er instruct. But the obstacles of the firstc year overcome, the tide of Immigration sa will flow in greater volume. gi We are gratified to learn that, as a rule, ut the laborer is well treated. In many in- in stances they take their meals from the em- in ployer's table, while some are supplied with t ratens, which they dress themselves. They are well sheltered. In some places they have new houses, while in others, the ne- m gro quarters have* been very comfortably fu I itted up for them. The wages of farm C hands are $10 per month, (with steady in c 1ployment). E v er y th ing depends D upon the issue of the present year.
