It is allied not only with derna gogism-that demon, whose province \ it is to prostitate the spirit of liberty t but also with agrarianism, which strikes ? at ?he foundations of civilized society. To this, add ignorance attd the leader I ship of the worst, most uL f crapulous sod selfish men, as a rule, and some idea f may be formed of the dar gera of the sit I nation.

K Io the first place, let us set at rest f* forever ali doubts about our positiou ^" opon the questions ot reconstruction, j-, which have been practically settled, and t deal with them as we do with other laws. AD accomplished revolution be .comes law. A contrary coorse isolates - us from ail existing political organiza " lions, and shnts out all hope of peace lui deliverance. Let mi retain, tn some ? lorin, a solid combination for mutual % protection and the preservation of peace, Jaw and order, nader the lead of the : wisest, purest and be?t est?reos in every community. Ceaseless vigilance, cau? stico and self-restraint, eombined with I adequate and visible preparation for 'defence, will insure the preservation of "peace. There are declarations of virtu. ? ooVporposes of rate from the Executive - of the State and some ol' our legislators. Ia all (de good they do let us accord to j them our hearty support Io some , 4brra, conservatism will surely triumph j in thc next Presidential election. Un ! der whatever name it comes, the leading -.ideas will be the same. Free trade, ^acquiescence in accomplished facts, ? equai rights to all citizens, the snpro ljwacy of the General Government, but ita f limitation within the scope of its legiti - mate constitutional sphere, and the pre ? servation of the rights of the States un der the existing constitution, i In view of tire probable triumph of . these principles, a* evidenced by the ?, result of recent election-?, wc may calca j ate that there will ar?te in South Caro i iina, wjthtn the next two years, io thc gk boson of thc Republican party, a con RT servatisru in harmony with those princi [Jjl pie's. So far as possible to do so, S without participating in it, let us M~'welcome, aid and a?sist its formation. ?85 Tf not retarded by indiscreet action on jjjlr" our part, it may bc made to succeed tefe here two years hence. To be plain, any 2* organization in which we ?ook open part Kwou'd concentrate largely against it thc I? colored vote, under the load of their Rworst men, playing, as heretofore, upon R|;,Yhc?r prejudice*, passions an(. fears.

REM BERT, - President W. E. DEL<3?R, Secretary. P. EPORT ON LA SOR. MR. PRESIDENT.-- Your Committee to ?liona it was referred to report oe Labor, beg leave to say that they bare given the subject all the attentiea its importance demands, and after taking into consideration, not o o ly the subject cf the report itself, hat ail of its con? nections and bearings, they' propose for the consideration of the society the mat? ter arranged tinder its different heads: as follows, vi? : 1st. FoRiiiGN LABOR. This isa sub? ject which has engaged the at;ention of Planters since, the War, and tarions so? ci ?ties and agencies have been formed fur the purpose of feeiJi tating the intro? duction of available Foreign Labor into our country, bat all scheu.?s of the j kind seem te have resulted in failure, aad this- dependent upon several causes operating together, as vant of capital, j tlie unsettled condiion of our govern j ment, the war in Europe, and che quail ty or value of the labor obtained, &c., kc. Your committee have no doubt, but that the wealth and prosperity of our country would be enhanced, if our supply of labor was supplanted by im? portation ot reliable white labor from other sources, hut no feasible plan pre. se nts itself by which it eau be acoora plisbed soon, and to supply our present wants. And though deeply impressed with the importance of the subject, at a j future day, we are now, to depend upon i the uncertain, inefficient and unreliable labor which surrounds us. This to be made available for oar present purposes, Your Committee think should engage the moat serious attention, not only of our society, but of our community in general, as it is not oply of the* moat vital importance to as individually hat affects the vita! interests of oar common country in the future. Your committee are folly impressed with the belief that our present system of controling and directing our labor since the war, has io the maiu been not only rainons to our? selves but will finally (if not managed under a different system) involve the ruin of our country. Y.>or committee, io their efforts to analyse our present system of labor and in searching out the different agencies which have influenc?e in affecting as, attribute them to three primary and principal errors. The first in our system uf contracting for labor; 2nd. the reut ing orfarmiog of Ianda; 3rd. the giving of liena. Your committee are lally im premed with the conviction that these subjects should engag? the attention of our Society, as being of paramount importance and thu roots ol oar defec? tive system in using and controlling h bor. Io relation ta 1st. Contracts : Your Committee would suggest that ia their opinion the best mode of contract? ing, (and far preferable te ?ny fat adopted) vocld be for wages ia money. If not attainable in that way for a stip? ulated portion of thc crop, thc employer receiving his part oat of the first gath, ering. It is claimed for this system, 1st., a belier eontrol of the labor employed, and 2nd. mora certainty in getting back tim capital invented for labor and its remunera'ion, il any. In the delibera tion of the Committee .several plans were suggested which seemed to offer lera objections than any others, see of which was wages in money at so soecb per mooth, if labor could be obtained ia that way, and which would be preferable, if not a stipulated agreement between the employer and employee for a portion of the crop. The first to furnish (be working material and support it, giving j just wages influenced by quality of land, the kbor, ?c, the employer bating thc sol* control cf all tba farming opera* tiena, and reserving for Lis part oat of the first gatherings af the crop. This contract would ofter the best means fat ensuring th? gathering of the crop after it ia mad?, and whick at tins t?as* is a ver*: i ru por laue eons id era? ion. _ Your Cora m i ute in taking ap lbs coDfiideraii'Xt o? lieut and Waa. as eouuertcdjviih labor, wo?id arge opon I tba Society the necessity of .making them the subject of Ut cir must mat ur disapproved of ay i he.

THE PfKW YEAH? ? The Waichm?n is permitted to greet ito readers apoa the advent of still- an r other New Year. Time moves with : unerring and undeviating speed, and more than twenty jeers hare gone since first it spoke to the people of S una ter. A glance at the past exhibits mncb of unworthiness and inefficiency cn our part, of the fallibility of human judg? ment, whilst an accumulated debt of gratitude rises to onr view. But it is with the future, ss living, active, responsible and intelligent be ings, in this practical age, that we have maialy to do. And it is with a spirit of energy and hope, of courage and determination, founded in faith in the wisdom and goodness of God, that we should enter upon the toils, and diffi? culties, the earea and duties, tho joys and sorrows of another year. Let none take counsel of their fears, or sink into despondency. If obstacles appear, ss they most and will, more or less formidable, all aiong-our way, they must be met with fortitude, with high I resolve to suimount^them, and with a t steady purpose to press onward. Life presents to os no picture of "flowery beds of ease," and yet peace and com* fort may reign io the heart, even while contending with the stern duties of every dey existence. Effort ! effort ! ! effort ! ! ! Depend upon yoor own effort ! "Honest, persistent and well directed industry will accomplish much, and difficulties will disappear before its steady application. Let os enter with hope and conrsgc upon the New Tear/ Aud, under the auspicious smiles of a merciful God, muy it be a year of abundant, harvest of peace and prosperity to our stricken State. To onr brethren of the press, through out the State, wc setd cordial greet? togs. ' _ , POLITICAL. We commend to the careful considera? tion of our readers the Address of HON. 13. H. HILL, of Georgia, and the Fare? well Address of the Union Reform Psrty of South Carolina, by GEN. J. B. KER? SHAW, contained in our present issue. These documents are calm and deliberate, looking, without passion or prejudice, into the political situation as it ezi>ts, in order to discover the wisest coarse The former is written by one of the fbretnoat men of Georgia, both in point of talent end the estimation in which tis opinions are held.

The Fire Fiend bas ?gain, swept over our beautiful city, leafing ia.its trail haifa block of buildings in the very heart of the citv a heap of smouldering ruins, ?while seven or more lives have been forleited to satisfy its burningrsge. By this calamity the great Christian festival has, to the eyes of the people of Richmond, beeu stripped of half of its accustomed joys, abd sadness reigns this morning where so much of mirth and gaiety was to be anticipated, in view ol the recurrence of the favorite holiday of the South. THE SPOTSWOOD HOTEL ON FI^B*. On the morning of Christmas flay, at I about 2 o'clock,Patrick Byrd, ,the night watchman at the Spotswood Hotel, was sent by Mr. Knowles, the night clerk, to call the women, whose duty it is to scour the Boors. Going up stairs, he thought he detected the smell of ^moke, and looking m ure carefully, presently he saw it curling from a fissure in the weather boarding of the old wine room, of late used as a pantry. The alarm was immediately given, sud Mr. Knowles, and Dr. Latham, of Lynchburg, running to the spot, tried to get in the room to j extinguish thc fire, but found it impos* ! sible to get in without a key. Presently, I however the door was broken down, aud j the flames were seen crawling op the wallsend licking the ceiling with their fiery tongues. It was too late for buckets of water, and a messenger was sect to sound the fire alarm. Mean? time the cry of -fire was raised in the house, and the halls of the second floor were io a lew minutes filled with fright jeued, stupified, half-clad people, throw iog open the doors, and otherwise clearing the path of the fiery ?l?ment.

Those who escaped say that in a space of time almost incredibly short, tho smoke had filled tho whole house, and the flames made their way through the thin wood work partition with fearful rapidity. The fire department, not. withstanding the extreme eolr), waa on the ground with remarkable prompt? ness, but the wa'cr could not be made so speedily available. Io less than hali an hour fire was observed on every one of the five floors, and the passages were choking with hot air and almost rmpaP~ pable ashes. j he scene was one of indescribable terror. Men, women and ehildreu were ia the horning batldiog, and all who were awake were striving to get out. With fire oo every aide and smoke blinding, suffocating smoke-penetra ting everywhere, this was no cany task tn those not thoroughly acquainted with the landmarks. The screams sod pray era of th/ panie Strock, terrified the self possessed ; the weak were either trampled under toot on tSe narrow s taira or sank where they stot4 paralysed by fear, waiting for relief.
