Editors.:--I regret exceedingly t soo tho bitterness manifested hy tho press c South Curoliua toward Judge Orr,, on accoun .of his recent published letter on tho "situi dion." To View Judgo Orr's letter in arcalni an dispassionate light, and with that spirit an i fairness that one should accord to another, o occount of honest political differences of opit ion, I am sure at least that the reflecting poi ition of those who.differ with him would nc :attribute to him other than thc host motive ifor thc public gooddn putting forth hi? view nt this juncture of political affairs. Somo of thc Reformers in this Count frankly admit, that they could carry more vot< in the present campaign under thc banner ? Democracy .thin under that of tho ltefori .party, but that thoy arc committed now I the latter movement, v il ii certainty of .(lofe; ,iu the election of State officers, and that i soon us thc race is over tiny will abandon t'i Reform platform and adopt that of thc ol '.Demooraoy. 'Comment on such a position unnecessary. .Judge ?Orr abandoned thc Democratic pa .ty carly in ono thousand-eight (hundred or sixty-eight, (18G8,) in a specoh in Charlo ton, which drew down thc wrath of some > tho editors of South Carolina. But, iMcssr Edi ors, by what mode of reasoning does tl .editorial 'fraternity and a few leading mon i ,U\o .State assume to thomsdlvos rill :bho ?purrt all thc honesty, ?ntl all thc disinterested pu riot ism in thc land ? Judgo Orr has os much right to bis polit .cal opinions, and as much right to expre .them, as any other man in .South Carolino. It is ,to ibe presumed that ho is as honest any of those who denounce him. This illi oral iproaoriptivo policy of tho opposition the Republican party has a toudency lo wid< tho brcuch between tho two parties. A good, honest old iDomocrnt told mo a fe days ago, that tho Democrats, soon ofter Go .Scott's election, would "ourso him nod npp for omeo $ and when they failod to get i offico, would still ourso him." "Rut," sn bo, "Judgo Orr is right, and I shall vc with him. 1 tim tired trotting around aft Hon. So-and-so, Gen. So-and-so," &c, &o. "Why, my friend," soys he, "all they wn is oflioo theniRolvcs, thoy don't caro a d for anything cUo." This is from ono of tho Dotnooratsof 180 I do not make such un illiberal ohargengair. tho honorablo gentlemen be. alluded to. is made by ono of thoir own party, Thora is two sides to overy question, will ventero tho prediction that, six mont from today, ? majority of thoso who now n lign Judgo Orr will be the loudest in I praise. Judge Orr's cool, eound judgment and or O?liatory COU' 0 with thc military authority after thc war kept off Provost Courts, and 1 advocacy of tho Homestead Law and oth measures that protected tho unfortum debtor olass, and lits ?yin pat hy for tho distn of tho country, hos given him a hold up the affections of the mosses that all tho < nunoiatfons of tho press of South Caroli cannot fthftko, lour? truly, fi. D. 0. .'i?te Sonthcru state? as? Home for i lite Eiii*gr?uit. SSountor Sawyer writes as follows to the New \York 'Ledger : Until recently," it has boon' hopeless to ox peet tho laborer, tho mcohanio, or tho small I farmer from other lands, to mako his homo in tho South. Tho desiro tn cmigrato im plies tho desire to better ? tho condition ; tho idesire to cmigrato to America usually implies thc desiro, not merely--to> better' thcphysichl well-being of the emigrant, but to elevate his family and dignify his manhood. Thc Euro pean laborer who contemplates removal to this .country has learned that, in America, bc will .oeasc to be simply ono of ' tbo oouutcrs with .whioh kings aud princes play, or one of thc instruments which capital uses safely for its own benefit, and will become a man. This forms no small part of tho inducement to : break tics which, however they may havo kept him down, ' have still great:powcr over i tho affections andi purposes. Hence, it could not bc expected that thc European, still less the Northern or Eastern mechanic or laborer, should come to live in States where labor, as a rule, was a badgo of servitude, and where thc standard of a day's labor was that <whtch could'be exacted from i(unwilling an\l unpaid bondsmen. Slavery enforced ignorance. Ignorance aod slavery degraded labor. In a sooicty where the whole, or much thc largest part, of tho labor was performed by slavos, t there was no placc'for a ' free, manly, inde pendent mechanic, who honored his work as his work honored him. Eut slavery has passed away, and as soon ns the political affairs of thc Southern States assume something like a settled and perma nent condition, that tido of emigration which has hitherto -set-so strongly and so steadily toward thc West and North-west, ?will surely take a Southerly course, or flow with a divided -stream, of'which not tho smallest part will seek thc rich fields and genial climate of tlu South. The reasons for ? expecting .tliis art manifold. ll. Thc territory of thc Southern -States is more accessible than that of the interior of the continent to which the path of the immi grant now tends. A long extent of sca-eoast. with many excellent harbors, invites foreign commerce. Rivers navigable for long dis tances, traverse.thc whole<region between thc Alloghanios ai li thc'Blue Ridge ami the At lantic ; 'while thc rich and almost virgin soi! of the Gulf States is watered by many streams whose proportions would bc majestic to cyci not used to consider the immensity of "Thc Father of Waters." These natural watoi courses, with many thousands of milos of com .ploted railroads, and thousands of miles mon ' in process of construction, give large facilities for inland commerce. The upper ?waters ol j those rivor-s afford a power waiting ?to 'bc .utilized, sufficient to turn tho spindles ant work the loom? of tho .would, lin thc motin tain districts of Virginia, the Cardinia*?, Ton ncsscc and Georgia, tho .rivers ?literally leaf to the sea, and furnish a water power whior it makes an engineer sigh to seo run to waste 2. The soil is fertile, and capable of pro ducing almost every variety of orop whicl: can bo produced .in thc Northern and Middle j States, and many others for which tho olitnatc of tho ooldor Statos de .unpropitious. While tho cotton of tho South hus como to be itt great staplo, and will, doubtless, long hold i very high place among its products, it it nevertheless true that its soil and climate arc admirably adapted to tho successful culture o other agricultural products. Its mountait regions arc unsurpassed in fitness for grazing farms. Thoro is no good reason why Eat/ Tennessee, Western North "Carolina and Vir gilda, Northern Georgia and South Carolina should not rival tho best Northorn and Wes tern dairy products. And thoro is no bcttci field for wool raising in tho world than car bc found in these States. Fruits of all ktudt flourish. Tlie luscious penah* the succulonl uiolon, tho juicy pear, tho crisp apple, thc orango, tho lemon, tho fig and tho apricot find boro genial soils and favoring olimutos] while thc grope in every variety may bo cul tivatcd to rival its fellow in Spain, Franco ut Germany. An opinion hos gained currencj that tho soil of tho Southern Atlantic Stitcf is "worn out j" that only small crops ropaj tho hard labors of him who tills; and thal tho soaroher for good farming or planting must seek them elsewhere. This is undoubt edly an orror. For generations thc culture of theso lands has been in tho hands of sh.ve? Tho overseers, who directed and scourgoc thc slaves, were but too ofton little superioi in agricultural knowledge to tho ''field hands/ and tho "field hand" had only intellect eneugl to uso tho rudest implements in the clumsier possible woy. The top of tho ground wai soratohed, not ploughed-whofc tho plantel called a plough was no whit better than tba described by Virgil twontj centuries since Thoecoresof agricultural implements invon tod by tho aotivo braius of educated farmers arid mechanics of tho last thirty years were unknown in tho South, except v3ry rarely. ^No attempt-was mado to'uso-tho means exis ting on every well-ordered fart? or plantation | for easing or making manures. ^Everything j was tnkoO froui tho soil j nothing was re-1 turned to it; and its natural capacities were absolutely unknown, bcoausc of tho rude and | im pm-feet culture. Place on tho soil of thc , Carolinas, ^Virginia-or Georgie, intotlrgo?tl la- | bor uudor in diligent direction ; carry there j thc implements which have so lightened the | labors and increased the harvests of tho North ern and Western farmer ; apply the same sa gacious foresight, ? thrift end oncrgy, -wbioh enable tho New England farmer to raiso "pre mium corps" out of tho uaturully infertilo lands of that section, and you shall seo the land groan under tho burdon of the crops that I shall ?row there. Besides'tho ordinary and "carly procurable fertilizers in abundance on any plantation, thc recent discovery of phos phato of limo in South CaroUoa bas opened up a source of supply sufficient to renovate not morely the 'tvworn out'' lauds of thc "South, but of aeoontincnt. 'This deposit'oan-hardly "bo "ovcr-estiuiatod 'in \valuc. To tho ?large population now engaged in mining an'd manip ulating it, and destined to bo much larger, it is thc source of great wealth ; to the agri cultural interests of tho country, it isa source [ of much greater wealth. 3. Tho mineral wealth of tho South, though undeveloped, is vast, and waits only 1 thc rcaohing forth of tho hand of enterprise to pour tts treasures into thc lap of "commerce Iron, gold, copper and coal existi? abundance. I In South CurolioaUargc- deposits of a very fine clay oxisty of-which pottery meet to compare with tho'best of ?Worcestcrshirc'canlbe?madc. Oohre8 of great value are ?lsoTounU. Gran lite anti marble in infinite variety arc at hand. Vi. Tho forests yield the choicest woods in great variety. The pines ofthOGardlions and Georgia aro well known in ?111 our marts ; tthe live oak of Florida is highly ?prrze? 'by 'the ship builder ; thotpalmettO'?f 'GaT?linn^seTves purposes for which nil Other woods fail ; and thc States arc rich in woods fit for furniture < and ornamental uses. I 5. Thc climate is, in tho main, healthful ? and pleasant. Tho inhabitant is spared tho extremo cold of "New (England anti "Michigan, as-well as'thc 'torrid heats of the tropical re gions. Charleston is on or near tho iis?thor" mal lino which passes through Naples; 'to speak of Naples'is'to remind one of all that is delightful in sky, temperature, climate. And ?to one who .knows :thc oharnt of tho climate of Charleston'for 'nine months in'thc vyear, Na ples can offer few climatic advantages. Tho whole State of South Carolina, and indeed all the Southern States, havo a 'healthful and agreeable climate, >if .we 'oscept tihe'disli'idfcg 'known-to-be malarious, and comprising but a linell port 'df ihn whole area. Even these are healthy from November to May j ond for planters who are obliged to cultivate these ' malarious districts, pino lands are ever near, where a residence'is perfectly safo and pleas ant the yeur round. Thc rates of mortality,, which are thc only sure tests in this matter, iiodicato very (clearly that tho States of Vir ginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, aro as favorable to phys aoalwagor and long ?lifo :ns any others in the 'Union. With-regard to the other Statesiofitlbc South, wo have no definite data ort bandi, ?but ?it is 'belie ved 'the same foot may hi sobstamce bo asserted of them. 6. Tho lands in tho Southern States can be purchased at much lower rates, in proportion j .to their value, than in tho North or "\Y??et. A-n investment in a farm or plantation in the South, and tho samo ?aro and labor to moko it a paying owe, ?that is given by the thrifty farmer in thc North, will, under the moro genial skies and in tho longor seasons of tho latitude, pay largely more than it would in tho older States. Something should bo said about the politi cal situation in the South. The political ex citements, the abuses of power by place-hold - ers, the want of respect for law nwA order existing <n eom-e parts of tho South, aro no moro than, under all tho ci rou insta noes, might reasonably hnvo been apprehended. The reconstruction members of Congress failed to 3 ul ist tho sympathies, or to receive tho sup ?ort of tho great mass of tho intelligent of the South. It was a in infortuno that this Was ?0. lt threw the work of reoonstmotion into howls little fitted by -education, by experience or in terest, to undertako it. The results were better than tho Southern white people thom* iolves had a right to expect. Yet it would ;m folly to deny that gross evils have existed in tho now Stato Governments of the South. lt ut things aro mending. The more moder* ito ond intelligent meo of the several States ire making up to the fact that* a revolution .ms taken place, and that if they Would have uvy pert in the government of their States, they must act on thc principles whiohf thbt r?volution has established. Day by doy new recruits are coming into tho camp of those who would make thc new South a better, j richer, wiser and freer community than tho i ?oUHSouth could hppe? to bo. And ero long j 'the majority of the i nibil i geht men of the j lately rebellious State? will be acting with the j friends of equal" rightsftrid of the nation. For South Carolina,'Keel authorized to say, that a ipartisan*press;iBBpirtid by relics of disloyal opinions and hopes, cannot be trusted to represent fairly her political situation ; that while she labors under political evils, she is slowly but surely working herself olear of them ; nnd that the man who eomes; to us as an-immigrant,"Wh ether ibo comes from Eu rope or from'Ibo ^North, will bc welcomed to I her soil and her community, so long as Le , shows himself worthy of such a welcome. I Tho days of violence, in oxccsB'Of that "Whioh exceptionally exists in other States . where thc rule is observance of law, have, I ? believe, passed away iu South Carolina. Tbe laws are generally well executed; anti there J aro abundant grounds for boping that ere j long largo numbers of ?those seeking new i'bomes will finid them within her borders, and fiod'thom'profitable and happy. Then and Now. On the 17th day of Maroh, 1870, Judge j James.L. Orr -wis interviewed by -ueoorrcs . pondent of tho'New'York ?Vf&wne, ?n'd gave utterance to the following severe denunciada ! tion of the Radical party, with whioh he is now associated : '"Tho results of the last'three >yoars'have satisfied tbe people 'that all the present evite I of "which 'they complain might have been '.averted by showing to the colored voters thal , they intended to maintain their new rights j Large numbers of the best men in South Car I o?na arc even now willing to espouse Repub j lioan principles, and would 'doubtless do BC ' but for the distrust which, as gentlemen o j eharaetcr and intelligent;?/th ey naturally en itertain'towards'those'Who, by accidental o?r cu m st au ces, have been placed in the lead o: : tho Republican ipatty-men who do'nOt, sni j never* did enjoy public confidence, men Wh< j aro ignorant, corrupt, dishonest and-urifit, ty .Teason of their early association, for dcoon society.
