Revcrdy Johnson is said to bo .busily en

tho defeat of the reconstruction laws. He in

days ago, that ho fully expected a decision from
the Supreme Court will; hi n .short time affirm
ing that Virginia is a State. The President
also expects this, and the lawyers interested in
tho ca.se say that if such a decision is rendered
he will withdraw military supervision from that
State by ordering the commanding officers not
to interfere, except at the request of the civil
authorities; It is said Eeyerdy Johnson is
giving close attention and advice in tlie eases
now being prepared, involving the constitu
tionality of the reconstruction laws in each of
the Southern States.?BuJ/'alu Commercial Ad

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."

Not long since, however, a trio of sharpers,
whose tricks had become rather stale in Char

Taking an early irain, they won reached

"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.

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

dence in its history, hinco tho days of '7(5.

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.
