Th "Rnd COnniissbl. rslco, the irrepreasitwe Senator forBarn*ell, has seated hitiselframid the Porquisftes of one ofthe new offices, and advertises the sheriffs to advise him ofall lands purchased by the State at tax sales, so that he may enter thorein. He is the Land Commissioner, the agent appointed for the business of a dioguised uonfiscation. The State, manipulated by. speculators, has gone regularly into the real estate business. It does businens on "hange, but the change inevitably obeys the laws, and finde its way into the pockets of the chosen few. Now what Is the object of this Land Commission and of this notice to the shoriff'a Why does the State, occupied with a thousand ills, look after others ? Have mtatters como to such a pass, that 1he Radical fortunes can be retrieved by sudh an ocoentrio enterprise, or it is some schome of deep laid villainy, to make "ony Wo suggest no hypothesis, but merely examine the facts. T The State has long been owned by a low won in large tracts ; much of which wya unimproved and uncultivated. There was a natural pride in these broad paternal acres, that concentrated the -iman, and individualized his ambition. He was rather dispesod to add to the ancestral barony, than soll in smiiall ateels to strangers. This spirit still ex. sts Id tnuoh of its native vigor; but the timos have changed, and hittwever safr in the past, such a spirit is fatal to our present hopus. It now concerns the very life of the State to invite popnlation, and divide those largo tracts iNto as nany homesteads as possiblo. This is the very drift of this Land Gomnai sinn, and we do not so much coinolain of the division, as of those to m homl) the di vision is made, and the wnner and form in which it Is dlone. Tho voting majority of the Slate iq with the colored man, and if the white Radical wishes to retnin power, ho must provide for himn in vome na. They only wish to make a decent fortuito for a rainy day, an([ theii they will go back and care very littlo about the ruins Ihey plundered. They therefore, uimke this arrangement u ith Ctiffee: Give ns all the fat offiees, and we % ill give You all the unctiltivuted lald., at an iiidefinite credit. You are penniless to huy, but we are equal to the oCCalin. Tho own. ers wont sell, we will legisiate them into it. A board eginalies the pro-rata taxa. tion. Fr iostanwe--tho State, or no groes ather, want a certain piece of property, that is worth about $300,00, and bielonging to a tina who has no inn. ney to pay taxes. lIe uffers it for sale at aniy irice ; hut the market is de:al and ho cannot lino a purchaser. The loard "Oqualizes" ita val ue at say, $3000., On , taxes iia due inl propo tion ; (if coursu the owner ennnot ,pay, and the Shoriff takei the land in tho name of the State, and turis it o% er to this lnd Como. init-sioi. This is one ttirni of the pateint scrow. Then some landless voters are to I.e bought aid seeed, amid t te voters are located upon this t Iac: on a credit of twenty yeais. It is more thint likely, that they will voto 0110 way f r those twenty years at any rate, as each vote renows the note without inter.-st, Thi% is fact, no faicy pietlure, and Mr. Leslie's notice is the Voice ot conil tiseatin, 'eryinig in the wildornesm." We hear the hammer falling every where, and ihe. hieve that onr sheet an ebur is partIing. We advise all those who have more land than they p)lant, or for it hiiehi they have 120 uminediato use', to selhl at any priceu to witoi emiigrantIs, andic if they cannot seIi, thena we rec,ommnend the free gift to set tIers. It is the only wayl to seure ctui grationi andi meeOct tile int e. As soion as the colored man of Vir ginia, Georgia and North tC.aroilna, and othier StateIs untde-rsl and that they can get land for the asking in South l'a' 0 hina, theyt will crowd every avenue to the State.

Accept, sir, the kindest thAnks of ti patrons of your school, for your faithful Retlous ant ettiviont discharge of youi duties, ami their united wishos for youi complete and happy success in an3 sphere of uwitiness, to which your promising fut.ire may summon you. Patrons, Friends, and Scholars We often find the tongue unable and language too weak to express the "font tiowings of a grateful heart." Such, patrons and friends, are my feelings or this occasion ; and I deeply regret my utter inability to respond properly tt the remarks of my esteemed friend, whc has, on behalf of the patrons of the school, spoken so flatteringly of my humble on deavors to discharge my duty to thos( contided to my care.

Last Sunday a New England parson, finding the majoity of his congregation asleep, suddenly paused in his discourse and requested the choir to sing a hymn. The choir and organist responded with such boisterous good will that in two minutes every soul in the church was wide awake. The parson then proceeded with his sermon.

Tum CAnOLINA FARMICn was established n November 1868, as the organ of the farm 3rs and planters of North and South Caroli a. That It has thus far fulfilled the expec% ations of its friends is abundantly evidenced >y the general and increasing favor wfth which it has been received. But the success already attained, though gratifying, is not til that they hope for and conQdootly at% tcipate. It is especially desirable to make he Carolina Farmer the medium through ,vhich the views of the most intelligent practical farmers of the two Carolinas may me exchanged. The advantages of such a medium are so obvious that it is not necs sary to enlarge on them. Your own intelli'. gence will suggest alt that should be aid on this point. You must conccdo that our section of sountry needs an organ of this kind. We davo already suffered so much from igno,. ranco andl unskilfulness in the cultivation of he soil, that it has become a duty on the part of onr enlightened agriculturists to make a gene.ral and united effort for ihe correction of the evil. Poverty and bank, ruptcy have invadeud the homes of our peo pIe to a sad extent, and these evils can only dio averted by improving our system of Ag riculture. All wvealth originates in- the soil, and the growvth of towns and . cities without a corresponding increase in agricul ture, is factitious and unprofitable. We want a healthy and flourishing agriculture as the basis of our industrial system. When wve obtain this, commerce will flour'. Ish, capital be accumulated, mantufactures established, railroads built wherever nei led, and prosperity and contentment prevail. A,s an intelligent and patriotic, citizen ask rourself whether you cannot do something owards the accomplishment of an object so riobio? You may possibly-think that; your [ndividual efforts in this direction can aos. 30mplish nothing worthy of note, but -ro'. nember how great is the poiver of a freo press in spreading trutth and correcting .ere ror Moreover there is a common bond of' symipathy connecting those o1' lIke puretuits,. and a word fitly spokcen will often techi many on the right cord, awaken iu~ thes. thought, and stir up others to gie publicIty; to thoughts valuable and histrucotivo. rThe sulbscrib)ers therefore appijani to f'onr as a patriot and an intelligent farmed to aid them with your pen in building up -the ag riculture of our section. Oive, to'a y6in' bro ther agricuhutrists, through the! columns': of the Carolina Farmer1 the benellts of 'yout rbservations and reflections. So doing you: wilt contribte to the elevation of the noble pursuit of agriculture, the prosperity of your cotuntry and the happiness of it. peos pie. Farmers, write for your paper, ande thus enable as to make the Carolina Farmer a journal suited to the agriculture of our 8ec% tion. Communications on all practical sub jects pertaining to the farm are earnestly solicited. And contribtutors may rely on the prompt ptublicatlon of their articles, as the proprietor has determined, on. the first :ay of November next, to convert the Far.. nor into a Weekly Agricultural end Family Fournal, and will thus be enabled to publish tvery thing in.spason., No advapee will be nade in the present stesoriptinrto.
