Whitteuioro said he voted "uo" because- the Boction is . proclaimed to bo retrospective, and because I cuuuot support any project that would commit a violation of the Constitution of my country, but I am in favor of a just Homestead Act. W. J. McKinluy said he would have voted no, but he understood that it would be loft for the courts to decide whether tho law was re trospective or not. He therefore voted aye. C. M.

THE ORANGEBUKG NEWS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22,1808. While ire reserve to. ourselves the. right afdefi niug our oicn political, position by means of our editorial columns, ice will bcpirnseii tu j. contributions from our fe/fou-citizens upon the grave, questions which now agitate the public mind, whether their opinions coincide, with ours or not. A district jiewsjxtjwr, ire consider, should be ah iiidex of the various shades of pop ? ular sentiment in the section of country in which it circulates. Our columns are open, therefore, for any communications properly written, accom panied by a responsible name, not personal in their character, ?w absolutely injurious in their tendency. VOLUME IT. One year ago, we started upon the tide of journalism. The tijno PCCmcd inauspicious; for inuuy a cloud hung over tho political and financial horizon ; and tho season appeared a dangerous one to ombark in new enterprises, and especially such an undertaking as the issu ing of a country newspaper, depending upon the patronage of an impoverished people for its support. But, in looking baok upon tho experience of the past year, we feel that nn neknowlegcmcnt is due to the people of Orangeburg District for the handsome manner in which they have con tributed to the support of the OhanukouuG Nuws. Established as a cash pa per, we havo no hesitation in sayiug that such a system is not only the best for tho prosperity of the journnl; but is also the most acceptable to the patrons upon whom it depends for its mainten ance and usefulness. And uow, after this brief retrospect, let us take a glance .towards tho future. There everything is as gloomy as the past. We see no. solution of tho complications which arc about us, save through much tribulation, and perchance, danger. But let us bide patiently our time, and await tho revolution of Fortuno's wheel, trusting that Providence m ill protect us from worse evils than the present, and inustcr VK'r all our powers rt" on dura nee to sustain the trials of to-day. We hope and trust, that iu a twelve month more, we may see sunlight streaking tlie East, tho harbinger of better days. What Shall wo Plant i ? Last year, we strenuously urged, week after week, the abandonment of Cotton planting, nnd an increased attention to Corn and other I provision crops. This season, the question re curs again, "what is best to be planted," and we prcsumo has been a subject of very careful consideration by every thorough agriculturalist. A word on the subject may not bo amiss. As before, let every one pay great attention to the production of rice, corn, and such cereals ?as suit our soil. But, as regards cotton, we consider it to be a much .more promising staple this year, than the last: and for several rea sons. First: flic crop will be tho smallest raised in the South for many years, on account of the disappointments.and losses of last year, aud the growing disincliuatjon of large land owners to employ many frocduiou." Sicoudly: Tho crops of India and Egypt, on acoount of tho fall in prices sinco tho war, no longer yield romunorntivo profits, iu competition \fith tho Southern stuplo; and both those countries be ing admirably adapted to tho cultivation of grain, the capital of those sections is being di verted from the fleecy idol, worshipped so de votedly a year or two ago by monied votaries.' Hence, wo oxpcot better prices for cotton next Fall: and our faith in this conclusion is strengthened by tho present activity of tho market, and tho increasing anxiety of parties to purchase for speculation. Wo therefore concludo by recommending the cultivation of a moderate crop of cotton, in con nection with provisions, in every instance whoro the soil is adapted for the purpose. j Tho Complete Letter-Writor. .? ? . ? ? Tho habit of a? soldier is obedience; Gen., Grant disobeys. The tli'erit Of a" soldior is his valor; Gon. Grant proves himself a craven. The honor of a soldier is his fuithfulncss Gon. Graut practices a triple treachery. The President places this man in a position which ho is to hold against an adversary, and to which end his orders are of the strictest na ture. He makes an unconditional surrender of it to that adversary before it is even demanded. If u private disregarded in so flagrant a man ner the order of a superior, he would be shot upon his own coffin. In Gen. Grant's1 letter to the President, bearing date upon the 30th of January, und a part of the -correspondence arising from his desertion of his post, he gives notice that he is going to fight it out upon this line. A true soldier is subordiu .;.c ; lie is in subordinate. A true soldier is respectful; Gen. Grant is insolent. Were the President actuated by one atom of personal or partisan feeling, or willing in any way to cotnplioato on his own part the present stnto of affairs, this inferior of his in the command of tho ormics of tho United States would be"at this moment under arrest iu his own guardhouse. Gen. Grant had but one thing to do?obey orders. Not he, but his superior, held the re sponsibility. Had he obeyed, Mr. Stanton must have carried his claims lothc courts; the constitutionality of the Tenure of OlTieo bill would have been docided; the country would have bbou relieved of a tremendous imbroglio and an imminent danger ot revolution. Here to n man that loved his country and forgot himself, was a priceless occasion ; circunistuuces opportunities, urged him forward towards the gap: Gen. Grant was uo Cuilius; he was a coward. In Gon. Grant's letter of the 3d of Februa ry, ho has the impertinence to answer the Pre sident that he entered the Cabinet merely to counteract a great principle on which tho <;o>v ornniont ha? boon conducted from its founda tion, ttnd which allows the President adviscva adhering to his declared policy. lie entered the Cabinet, then, by a treachery ; he aban doned his place in it by more perfidious treach ery yet; it is only by a corresponding treache ry that these letters were to be found in Mr. Stanton's hands at all. The Republican party arc loud in their outcry against traitors; will they promote a spy to the highest place iu their power? Manipulated by tricksters and politicians, scll-strippcd of all title to veracity. Gen. Grant appears neither a soldier nor a man ; he has pricked the bubble of his own reputation; he goes before the people nothing but an empty epaulet. He who docs hot know how to obey docs not know how to rule, is n timo-honorcd maxim ; and, ns it has already been said in an able lite rary journal, he who refuses to yield his power to the hand that confers it, may one day refuse to yield it to the people themselves. But for this, we might well wish that Gen, Grant should iu duo timo be president himself, simp ly ' that ho inight cease to uC General. But with tho sappers aud miners of Chase! beneath him ; with Butler, who, whatever else may be said of him, novor forget a friend nor forgave a foe, on his rear; with his own band? weav ing his shroud in such a tissu* of brow-boa t ing falsehood and unabashed infamy as his cor rcrpondcnce unfolds,?what hope have we of boing rolioved of the life-long incubus'!' From such au opponent in the field Andrew Johnson has nothing to fear. Andrew John son, who. claiming that our liberties are secured to us, only by the constitution, while petty men go down on petty issues, declares its mighty principles alone, and looms like a giant as he stands with his back to the wall, singlchamlcd against n horde, heating off anarchy and mon archy, aud with his courage conquering suc cess.? Wash. Cor. uV. V. World. The Ciii.nk.se IIeiiellion?Wholesale Si.aucum:it.?According to our latest advices from China (Hong 'voiig, December 10), '-the war in tho North between tho imperial and rebel forces is being vigorously waged." To show how vigorously we are told that a great battle at Shantung promontory resulted in the defeat of tho rebel army, which lost eighty thousand men. But subsequently the imperi alists were defeated in their turn ilin several severe engagements, with heavy lu-s." A loss that may be described as "heavy" in compari son to that of eighty thousand men which seems not to amount to much iu China, must have been heavy indeed. Perhaps it is sale to put it at live times eighty thousand,, more or less, or four hundred thousand. This Chinese rebellion has been going on for somewhat more than eighteen years, during which it has been estimated that from thirty to forty million lives have been sacrificed. If; it cont inues for twen ty years longer?and there seems (?> be no spe ciul reason why it should not, unless foreign intervention puts a stop to it?even tho fivo hundred millions of Chincso population will begin to be fiorcoptibly thinned out. Should tho Chincso persist in destroying each other on euch a scalo of wholesale slaughter as in the recent battle at Shantung promontory, the Rus sian Czar may bo constraiucd, if only by mo tives of humanity, to step over tho "'Croat Wall" erected as a protection against Tartar incursions to overrun the empire and sack Pe kin, like Genghis Khanen 1215.?A". lr. Her ald, Feb. 10th. "The Nashvillo Gazette presonts tho follow ing truthful picturo of the Negro Convention in South Carolina: The negroes have a majority of ten in tho South Carolina Black-and-Tun Convention.? Tho first thing they did on assombliiig, was to fix the amount of thoir pay at eleven dollars per day; the next was as to the propriety of compelling all State institutions, for whatever purposes established to throw open their doors .to the negro pupils and .inmates; the next was a resolution requiring negroes to be admitted to all public hotels and tables and places of amusement and entertainment on the same terms with the whites, any discrimination nmde by tho proprietors to be punishable with se vere, penalties.
