Advertising A Success in Business.? The New York Tribune has the following upon the value of advertising, and every practical business man will confirm what it. says of the present stale of businuss: "Prudence and economy, of course, aro the two great lessons to he learned; but there is one part of these lessons which, in dull times is especially apt to be forgotten. Bo suro of one thing j what ever you have to sell, there are many people ready to buy, even in the most depressed sea sons. Find them out; show thorn your wares j persuade them to buy of you rather than another. When buyers are reluctant, Fellers .must be active. It is neither cheap nor sensi ble to sit still behind .your couutor and wait tji i uT ail i .' . . : for the bustle of trade to revive. When busi ucsb is dull, that is fhe very tiuic to advertise. In the first place, that is wh'uu you most need to advertise; nud in the second, that is when people devote most time to reading-the news papers, and when your advertisement conse quently is most generally seen. A lew dollars thus invested will do more*t? revive u sluggish business than anything else iu the world." .HI I il>.-.Tdgl? -, A rurly of Slianmr.s Foiled. j v-i v: ?i n\ - . - . . ..{ At tho terminus of the Northeastern Bail Road thuVe is a quiet' and pcaoenble village yclept'Plorcnco j lordly in name, ami no doubt in intiinlspnnd'save by tho s'nort of the iron horsdj ita equanimity is seldom disturbed, hence, its inhabitants are novor or seldom nf fected by those ills ko rife iu city life.

"While, irr reserve to ourselves the right 0/defi ning our own political position by means of our editorial'columns, ire will he pleased to publish contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the grace questions whieji now agitate the. public mind, whether <their opinions coincide with ours or Hot. A district ncicspapc'r, ire consider, shrfidd be an index of the rarious shades of pop nhir tentimeni in- the section of country in which it. circulate*., Our c.alnnlns are open, therefore, >/oi\ nny communications properly written, accom panied, by a responsible name, not persontd in their character, nor absolutely injurious in their fendriwy. Have You Contracted? That is the question, in which all arc inter ested at present. We propose to give a few ideas on the subject, which arc approved by the practical experience of our. best planters, after the experiment of freedom. 1. On our average lands, a planter who can support his family iu moderate comfort, and meet all the outlays of capital necessary to carry on hjb plantation, on two-thirds of the crop ia a very, j. successful man. More good planters fail to do so, than succeed, unless the seasons aud prices of produce arc extremely favorable. Consequently, it is more than a man can afford, to give his hands one-third of tho crop, and risk the seasons and prices. Det ter to work himself with hid children, and then all that is made is his own. 2. In our present condition, we cannot af ford to pay high prices for foreign fertilizers. But we do not w;uh it understood that we don't believe in muuuriug the crops. But every man must make on his own place all the manure that he expends on his lands. In case of a failure of crops, there is no heavy debt on his shoulders : in case of good seasons the crop docs not require Peruvian pushing. 3. Select seed carefully, and get the best. Tu this connection, we would recommend to those who insist on planting Cotton, the use ol Barton's Improved Cotton Seed, which has boon tried with great success in our District. This eotl,ou has uniformly brought five cents more a pound than Strict Middling in Charles ton market. It has sold during the past sca s ,:i at 22 cents, when Strict Middling was at .17 Cents. ?\. Much attention should bo paid to what used to be considered of secondnry importance, such as groundpeas, Irish potatoes, sweet pota toes, water melons, and so forth. A man can make more, money ou these, than ou great standard crops. 5. Don't let us have any "gentleman farm ing," co-called. This way of riding around, and looking at tho crop, and then spending the main part of the day in visiting or sport ing, will not do in these hard times. Tho planter must go into the business of raising the crop with a rim, and he must not only work his brains constantly about it, planning and contriving; but iu an emergency, ho must pitch in without gloves, nnd work-head and hands together. In the crises of battle, the general must lead the charge, and often ho on foot, with the private soldiers. 0. Jletnomber the motto '"(Jod helps them, who help themselves;" and trust a gracious Providence will smile upon earnest efforts. ' ?immil .--?IUI? ? [FOR T11K ORANGKBUUO NEWS.] Rural Thoughts ami Gleanings I Tho year 18(17 has goim glimmering adown the vale of timo, lcavir its reflections of sor rows and regrets, its reminisces of gaitics and pleasures, and all tho vicissitudes and changes common in tho tide of human experionce of throe hundred and sixty-live days. To the down trodden people of the South, it has been a year id'trials and difficulties, without prece dence in its history, hinco tho days of '7(5. Home down" under the yoke of factious, dema gogues aud partizan leaders a hi id the storms ol national strife; tossed to and fro at the will of a pbwer irresponsible to no other; tantalized 0 -?- " I " _ and crushed ut the hands of thoeo whoso duty would ho, at least lenicucy and its performance relief; distracted by commotiou and weary of hope; burdened with debt and stricken by poverty, the people.of the' South are passing through an crdcal, that challenges comparison in the history of the world. Time in its progress moves on, and wo find ourselves at the beginning of a new yonr? about 4000 years sinc<f*Noah nnd- his descen dants comincuccd to peoplo the Isles of the (.lentiles. And what does thd nejv year.prom ise us ??tho veil that ovcrhangB the future precludes a satisfactory answer. Docs it prom ise a repetition of our woes, or docs it promise more than these and even worse? Let the prophets answer, and the futuro verify tho truth of their sayings. Could the Radicals and people of tho North come down South, and see the.state of affairs in existence here, then reconstruction of the 'Southern'States would'bo an easy thing. We' need reconstruction, recuperation, regeneration and a practical application of all tho adjectives in the order of improvement to build up the wreck of this onco prosperous country. Wo Jare truly and emphatically in a deplorable con-. Vdition. There nrc thousands and thousands of instances of distress and suffering in this gloomy land, that once knew not want. "Hard times" is the universal cry everywhere. The truth of the old proverb that, "Drowningmen catch at straws" is being demonstrated more and more every day. Sucing has become a ?? virtue and forbearance a curse. "Get all you can and keep what you have" is the motto of the prescut. . The termination of the war left tho Southern peoplo insolvent. Tho emancipation of Rlavcry, Ahe reduction of Confederate currency to iiought, the crippled system and inadequate supply of labor, followed by the depreciation of oal estate and thu high prices of provisions i ml live slock, are the principal causes that Save combined to render it impossible for the eople to pay their debts. For u time the high price of cotton held out a hope that not withstanding the unreliable and inadequate supply of labor, the compensation realized from its production would supply the deficiency of the labor system and eventually enable the people to pay off oiili scores. Rut this bud of promise has never come to maturity. larm iers, factors, merchants, frccdiuen and all have been caught by the full in cotton. A large Jnuihbor, who undertook to raise it last year, did not make enough, by half, to roimburso their (actors lor tho advance made. A majori ty of those, who planted on a scale of twenty hands and upwards have made complete and signal failures. These are not overdrawn pic tures ; th y are unfortunately but too truo. Unless tho tux is removed, guess there won't be many who will atlempt to raiso it this year. There are not many who arc ohlo in a pecunia ry point of view to plant much of it. Large plantations that worked fifty to two liundred hands before the war, arc now grow mg up in weeds and grass. Fences and build ings are going to rack, and places and spots that were once emblems of prosperity, indicate (poverty and ruin. Incendiaries from the North, and office seekers have demoralized and led astray the poor ignorant negroes, very much to the detriment of the contract system. Many of the frccduicu arc renting lauds and squat ting about horo and there, some in tho wild woods, ?omo in the old broom straw fields that have been fallow ever since the close of the war. They are without stock, provisions, im plements, and everything necessary for culti vating the soil. Thus, as they have already done, they will manage to live tho year round upon an acre or two, by planting a littlo oorn, a few potatoes, and keeping a hog or two, which covers the excuse of all they steal of a similar kind. In this manner the labor of the country is rendered unavailable, and tho con sequence is, that more is cousunicd than mado. So scarce was corn at tho boginning of last year, that many farniors were forced to plant Northern corn. All attempts to raise it, how ever, proved abortive, the cars maturing at a very dimiimtiye size Politically, thu frepdmon' ot least, arc in rather a peculiar condition. They have not beeu able to understand exactly th,o meaning of their new relations and privileges from a political stand point of view. Nevertheless, they seem willing to trust themselves stijl further in tho hands of thoso whom thoy re gard as the authors of their freedom, believing that there uutxt be something clso ahead, oven more desirable than the boon they havo already acquired. The idea of "forty acres" fro Con gre' has takob wings and flown in pcrspoctivo to tho prerogatives of tho Groat Union Re publican Convention, that is to convene, at CharloSton on the 14th inst. Tho Radicals taught the common field hands to regard voting for this groat humbug, as n necessity, and led them to bcliova that if thoy did not voto for it they would be deprived of all tho rights, privi leges and immunities of frco citizens.
