Wo shall strive to prcsout this class of our roadors with a weekly installment of clippings, bearing upon tho agricultural interests of this Hoction. Contributions from intelligent and observant farmers acquainted with tho materi torial needs of this quirter aro earnestly soli cited. Tho prejudices against " book farm ing" (as the application of tho familiar prin ciples of .science and chemistry to agriculture has boon dorisivoly, but inappropriately termed) must gradually disappear boforo tho cloar sun of truth. All knowlcdgo is but thc recorded result of exporionco and obser vation. And it is by acquainting ourselves with thc attempts aud discoveries of others by a mutual iutorehango of viows and senti ments that wo smooth our progress and faci litate our advancomont in any branch of knowlodgo. To this, farming as a science, is no exooption. Wo hopo to tnako our weekly visits, especially agreoablo to this important class.-ED. COURIER. Large Hog. Wo lenrn that Capt. George W.

The exact language of tho Resolution adopted, is this : M Distinction on nooount of race or color, in any case whatsoever, shall bo prohibited j and ?ill classes of citizens shall onjoy equally com pion, pubTto, legal and, political priviliges." Cuffeo's understanding of this is, that no white man or lady shall hereafter be allowed tho privilogo of selecting his friends and ac quaintances. If ho dares to invite only white pcoplo to au entertainment, &o., Sambo in to vindicate his nowly flodgod dignity, by vio lently thrusting his odoriferous person upon tho ossomblcd guosts. Our ablo contempo rary, tho Ohnrloston " Nows," alluding to the groat fact that liborty docs not nt all require tho confounding of raoo distinctions, makos tho^ following grophio summary of ,tho essen tials to liborty : " First, tho protcotion of sooioty from tho intprforenoo and violonoo of foroign States j ?ocondly, tho protootion of the citizen from injustice or oppression, hy tho mntntonanco of an oxaot administration of justioo} thirdly, tho participation of tho oitizon in tho lonoftts nrisiug from publie appropriations for, roliof and for oduoation. Nono of theso conditions requires a monstrous amalgamation of raoos nnd colors.-ED. COURIKR. VARIETY. Congressional Reconstruction. For moro thou two years tho Southern States havo desired to renew their old rola tioos to tho government. Congress has constantly provoutod that re sumption. *' They aro entitled to bo restored upon tho basis of tho F?deral Constitution. Congross has confessedly thrown asido that instrument, and obstructed restoration with terms and conditions of its own pro scribing. AfFcotiug to dostro thc perpetuity of the Republic, it has mado a deadly assault upon republican institutions. Profoistug to aim at tho salvation of thc Union, it has wrought tho destruction of ton of tho States. T' ( right of oaoh Stato to regulate its own internal affairs, onfranohiso its own voters, and choose its own rulers and law-makers, ts as sacred ns our constitution, nod as indes tructible as our govcrumet. Without it republican liberty is worthless, for when tho people ceaso to bo freo citizons of thc States they become tho subjects of unlimited and irresponsible Fedoral powor. Whon Congress abolished tho looal govern monti of tho South, it violated a vital princi ple in our systoiu. When it erected military establishments in their Stood, it introduced ll ) most abominable feature of despotism. In further pursuanco of its purposes, Con gress has thrown tho politioal power of tho South into negro hands. To assure this rosult, it has disfranchised tho white population by hundreds of thous ands. * Enfranchising thc blacks, it has made vot ers of tho ignorant, tho vicious, and tho brutal ; legislators of those who regard liborty as license, and law as tho instrument of re venge ; and rulers of a class whoso ideas of government, Uko their notions of reli gion, tend dircotly and inevitably to bar bai iain. MILITARY GOVERNMENT AND ITS RESULTS. Having given tho negro the right to voto and the power to rule, Congress oonfesses his incompetency for cither by insisting that tho bayonet of the soldier, tho disfranchisement of tho citizen, and thc supervision of tho Freedmen's Bureau aro necessary to sustain him in his new rotations. ]*y such declarations tho dominant par ty would justify tho oontinuanoo of milita ry despotism orootcd within tho Southern States. Boforc we sanction this iniquity, lot us ex amine its results. It found civil governments in successful operation ; it abolished thoso govern men ts, aud made tho will of brigadicr-gcu crals- su premo for all purposes. Southern elections aro ordorcd, supervised and approved or set aside, by district com manders. Southern justice is what tho bayonet may pr?vido. Southern law is what tho sword may de cree. Southern peace is tho patient submission of a conquered p?oplo, a pcaco threatened by im pending negro insurrections, which white so ditici^tS aro inciting, and liable at anj Vue mont to disappoar boforo tho torrlblo tumult of sooial anarchy. Tho military governments found business reviving, and ontcrpriso struggling to ropnir tho ravages of tho war. They abolished labor, and offered army ra tiona ns a premium on negro idleness. Tho country ccasod to produoo, and trado and commerce: with other sections perished. Capital loft aland whioh promisod soon to bc givon ovor to oonfisontiou. Gonoral povorty followed tho oncouragod indolence of tho laboring classes. Actual and almost universal destitution ex ists among tho people ; tho unhappy viotitns of Congressional cruolty, must become pon sionors upon national charity, or porish from starvation. Hordes of thriftless and discontented no groes, passionate almost to brutality, induced to vioo by idlono8s, inohed to violence by ovil counsellors, fed and pampered at tho pub* Ho oost, with a groat army for their protec tion, roam at will throughout tho land, upon a mission of ovil, oarrylng dismay to tho hearts of helplessness and innoe?noo, and shocking civilization with tho worst pf name less orimos. f Suoh is tho condition of tho South.

DI8TRES3 AT TUE SOUTH. PRODUCES PROS TRATION AT TUE NGUTU. Tho evil influence of bayonet reconstruc tion is uot confined to tho South. Tho entire country feels it. Northern business languishes for want of Southern trade Northern factories aro silent because South ern pockets aro empty. Western granaries and storehouses aro full, but poverty possesses their ancient market, and their .former buyers aro now begging bread. A commercial crash ig imminent, and business stands still and trembles at the pros pect. Tho manufacturing interests of tho nation aro crippled and almost crushed. Tho spindle is motionless; the shuttle is silent, the forgo and tho furnace aro de serted ; tho workshop is vacant; tho mill is oloscd. Tho hands of the artisan aro unemployed and empty ; his children are starviug, home less aud iu rags. Tho impoverishment of tho South throws thc en tire burden of taxation upon tho North and West. Tho Southern States can render no assis tance while tho government grinds thom with an iron heel. If their people shared its benefits they would bo impelled to productive ability. As they partake only of its severities, they could not support it if thoy would) and so long as it oppresses thom, if they nro fit to bo freemen, they would not support it if thoy could. THE CONGRESSIONAL PURPOSE Tho declaration of leading Republicans io Congress leave no room to doubt that tho no tion of that body hos been taken with refer ence to tho futuro of tho Radiool party, rathor than tho unity of tho American repub lic. Tho National Legislature has become a moro machine for tho manufacture of Radical majorities. Its material is tho worst und lowest class of humanity, barely rosoucd from tho bru tality of tho savago stato by ooutnot with ci vilization. A valuable adjunct iu tho work is tho oxelusion of white intelligence and expe rience from participation in tho govern ment. Tho guarantee of success is tho red right hand of tho War Dcparttnout. A system which is based upon negro stu pidity, supported by bayonets, and designod to soouro partisan triumphs through the en slavement of mon of Our own moo, may be in stituted boro through foroo and fraud, but, il it oan endure in this land, tho American pooplo have learned liberty to no purposo, and woll deserves to bo taught its value undor tin storn tutelage of tyranny, which awaits thone in tho futuro of Radical supremacy. -<? ? - South Carolina Penitentiary. ^ In tho " OfUrcUna Spartan," of the 20tl inst., wo observo a capital artiolo detailing tho oondition, prospects and internal eoono my of tho abovo institution.

In tho Houso of He presen tn ti vos, on Mon* day, Judgo Woodward, of Pensylvania, ar gued that the resolution of impeachment was u.imetako, and any impeachment of the Pres ident on the idea that ?Secretary Stanton was Within tho protection of tho tenure of office was what Fouoho, tho ohiof of the old u?h pol icc, would have atftlod KO roo than *F crime-a blunder. Whatever executive power tho Federal Government possessed was Vented in tho President, who was mado tho sole trustee of tho pcoplo in that regard. In tljfr: watter of appointments to office and the treaty-making function, a check was imposed Up*?n tho President; but even in thoso in fi^ni,t.es tho power exercised was thc Presi dent's. Tho concurrence of tho Senate was only a regulation for tho exercise of the pow er. It was a mero advisory discretion, not an ejecutivo power. The Senato posscssod not an iota of oxcou U'yo power. Tho separateness and complete ness of this executive power in tho hands of tile President was a doctrine essential to the harmony of thc system of government, oud to tho responsibility of tl.o President to tho peo Wo. If Congress meddled with it, Congress became a trespasser, and ?ts act an imperti nent nullity, and the President was not to bc impeached for disregarding it. Ho quoted extracts from tho debate, in thc First Con gress, upon tho executive departments, and argued, that that debato settled this qutoicsn absolutely, and demonstrated thc utter uncon stitutionality of tho Act of March 2, 1867. lie also argued that by the very terms of thc Aol, itself, Mr. Stanton did not come within tu scope, and quoted Senator Sherman and Messrs. Spalding and Bingham as taking the sorpo view of tho law when it was under con si lernt ion. jMr. Johnson was a man of tho Republican pjity's own choosing, and ho verily believed thijt tho President was trying to restore tho Uirion, to pacifioato thc country, and to ad minister his high ellice with a faithful regard t!?? obligations of tho Constitution and tho Bfft interests of the people. Ho seemed to him to be n truo friend to tho whole of his country, n faithful public officer, and entitled to Cnbinct advisers who wore his friends, and not his enemies. Congress had ?far better sustain such a man in his constitutional rights, and address itself to the relief of tho suffering country, than to wasto its timo and tho pub lio'a money in impeaching a faithful public servant on charges that aro both false and foolish. At tho risk of denunciation, ho (Mr. Woodward} denied tho right of tho llonso to imponen anybody, aud the right of tho Senate to try any impeachment. Tho Houso was not composed, as tho Constitution required, of members " chosen by the pcoplo af tho sovcrnl States ;" nor was tho Senato composed of "two Senators from each State." In conclusion, ho said : Mr. Speaker, so nure nm I that thc American pcoplo will res pect this objection, that if I were tho Presi dent's counsellor I would advise him, if you prefer articles of impeachment, to demur both to your jurisdiction and that of tho S?m ate, and to issuo a proclamation giving you and all tho world notioo, that whilst he hold himself impeachable for misdemeanors in of fice before the constitutional tribunal, ho nev er would subjeet tho office ho holds in trust for the people to tho irregular, unconstitution al, fragmentary bodies who propose to strip him of it. Such a proclamation, with the army and navy in hand to sustain it, would moot a popular responso that would make aa nd of impeachment and impeachers. -0k i BY tho proposed Constitution of South Carolina, tho judicial power is vested in a Supremo Court, in two Circuit Courts-to wit : a Court of Common pleas having civil jurisdiction, and a Court of General Sessions having criminal jurisdiction only--and in District; and probate Court* and Justiocs of tho Peafee.

Tho following oiroular lettor, whioh is of absorbing intorost, ospcoially to tho* planters of thia Stato, is from tho pon of General Scott, and will bo eagerly perused : IIEADQ'RS ASSISTANT COMM'R, BUREAU R., F. AND A. L., CHARLESTON, S. C., Feb, 27, 1868. The Assistant Commissions* is compelled to call tho attention af tho pcoplo of this Dis trict to the great inoreaso within the past few days in tho number of applicants for Gov ernment assistance, and to thus publicly an nounce that it will bo impossible for him, with tho limited supplies at his command, to assist moro than a fraction of those who aro now applying. Nearly ono-half of tho amount at his disposal has boon alroady oxpended, and but a limited proportion of tho applica tions received havo boon acted upon. In futuro, all applications for assistance will be roforrod to tho oifioor or agent of -tho Bureau residing nearest to tho applicant, with instructions to investigate fully his or her condition, and upon tho report made, thc Assistant Commissioner will act. Application should, therefore, to save time, bo modo direot to the noarost Buroau officer, whe wiil forward thom to thoso headquarters, with such expression of approval or disapprov al as ho may see fit to make. The opplioant should state in each oaso thc name and situation of his plantation, nnd the noarcet railroad station or steamboat lan ding; '.bc faot that the plantation is fully or ganized, tho number of adults and children (those over fourteen years of ago boing con sidered adults) for whom provisions aro desir ed, and tho number of aores to bo cultivated in cotton, corn or other products. In no oaso will food for animals be furnished. To tho freed people throughout the Dis trict, tho Assistant Commissioner desires to say that tho determination now so provalont in many localities not to oontraot, except up on terms which, while they assura nothing to the laborer, are so disadvantageous to tho planter as to preclude tho possibility of any agreement being made, is most unfortunate, ami cm bo productive of nothing but disas trous results. If such peoplo aro under tho impression that they will be fed by this Bu roau, tho Assistant Commissioner desires to undeceive them without delay. No loan of provisions will, under any oiroumstancos, be made to thoso who are planting undor con tracts of such a nature, that it is evident they will not only not make sufficient supplies to live upon another year, but will with difficul ty bo able to raise sufficient to repay advances made them this year. Many pooplo entertain tho idoa that all that is necessary to enable them to obtain ra tions, is to havo posossion of a pieoo of land. Such is not tho oaso. Tho Assistant Com missioner must be satisfied that tho land is of such quality, and that tho applicant is plant ing it under such conditions, that he will bo able to produce from it sufficient not only to repay his ndvanocs, but to supply himself and family another year. Furthermore, no issues of rations for planting purposes will be made to individuals, but only upon organized plan tations, with a responsible head, either white 0/ colored, whose oxperiencs and character is such that the Assistant Commissioner can have no doubt but that his obligation to tho Government will bo fulfilled to tho letter. Tua WORD "BANKRUPT."-Fow words have HO remarkable a history as tho familiar word bankrupt.
