Thc preparation for fair crops of grain and
cotton, between this place and Columbia, ia
much better than last season. Evidently, tho
freedmen are ut ''home again," in many places.
Occasionally, a farm is found uncultivated and
dilapidated-tho owner, perhaps, ?fllieted with
nnti-"niggor on tho brain." Tho breadth t-f
land cast in small grain i.i largo. Wheat i*
specially promising, much of it being il)
bloom. Mtlliy, very many broad acres, have
been plauted in cotton. Tho plant looks
healthy, with a good stand. So faros we
could seo. very lillie corn has been planted.
Probably, on the creeks and rivets, more is in
cultivation. Rarlcy is making its appearance
in not a few places ; and the Holds of red clo
vcr reminded us of the prolific soil of old
Virgillift." On tho whole, tim " crop pros
pact" between the points shove st it ed, are
decidedly good.

This road is in much bolter running order
than we expected to find it. That section ol'
the road, destroyed by thu freshet, and Sh?'P'
man, hus been rebuilt and put in very good
o.unlit ion. Tho Company is burdened with
debt, however, which, .sooneror later, we fear,
will sink it. Already, tho creditors of the
road bave landed it in the Court of F.qulty for
sale, and tho liquidation of its affairs, ft is
not believed, lu .rover, that it can be brought
to sale for u year or two. Possibly, before
that time the wheel of untune may change the
despora to fortunes of tho enterprise for thc
better; and we sincerely sympathise nilli tl c
Company iu this view of the ouse.

Now, if there is n spark of enterprise in : i
the directors of this road, they will USO theil* , '

from An.U ison Court lltiu.se to Walhalla,
in Dickens District, where-or rather just j
above which-the tunnel, only half comple

is ever lo bo completed, and the con noel iou

The apparent appro; ching completion of tlit?

thal there should bc such a doubt. The Uluo

Speech of Governor Btc.v/n.
Rx Gov. RIJOWN made a long epcecli in fa
vor of R jconsAiuctiou in Savannah, April 18,
from which wo cpmteihc conclusion : There
i< .'motlier important point that we should md
overlook. After the Slate Constitution has;
been reformed tm election fur Congress will
bi o.deretl. At that election many of our
citizens may be inclined to vote-fun persons
who cannot take the test" on th. This is worse
than lolly. Jt would seriously hinder our re
admission. Tho pride of rho Northern p o
ple is staked upon this, and there is not lite
iv.-otes; probability thal any uno will 1 ?. ..?1
milted lo a seat who itiilllii't lake tl- oath.
So soOu as wo con lorin t-> the roquireuiculs,
atid send in good tai:!, a delegation i-.< both
IM uses who eau take il, wo will lie. admitted
j in accordance with the pledge of Congress,
j but never till then. And I predict ilia: the
represent;.tiv<s of the Norlin ru St s will in
tn .duce the bill and generally VoU" lol it to
repail the oath after you have on. o Cumpl?-tl
with the terms. Gentlemen, upon this point
duty, self interest, ?ind patriotism combino in
the appeal to you to conquer your prejudices.
We can have reconstruction and iv-atlmissiou
mi mi better terms. Till we aro reconstructed
and'-roudiuittcM to Congress WO cannot have
prosperity. The fact is that thc freedman's
vote will give some twenty members in Ct ti
gress more than wc should have if that mee
were excluded. The South will have L.2 Sen
ator's from these States, including Tennessee,
and prob; lily (50 to 8(1 members of the. House.
This will bea weight in Congress that will bc
courted, and not. despised when it gt ts in.
Then let us reconstruct the Government ns
rapidly ns possible. This is the surest mode
t j of relief; relief to the disfranchised class of
our people; relief to the down .trodden South,
bloediiit; at every pore, exhausted mid impov
erished ; relief to the victorious Nor I li against
stagnation in business, threatened commercial
pillie, anti financial crisis j relief (ollie whole
country, by a restoration of unity, peace, pros
perity, nui] happiness. Titi; relief eannot
como by supino inactivity, It requires action
on our part. My motto is ac!ion, rcrontfruc
