THE ORANGEBURG NEWS. SATURDAY, APRIL 10,1869. MAD. C. ANDREWS, Editor. MALCOLM I. BROWNING, Associate Editor. The Agricultural Society a Democratic Club. la the editorial article ia the OraSOKBUBQ Nkwb iu the number before the last, headed ?'A*?^ the Situation,"!' wo gave the advice of our cotemporary the Charleston Courier, snitsmmjfl it as being the coarse advised and commended by this paper. That course was for the people of Ibis State and of the South ?'to accept the situation, to go to work our serves to recuperate our wealth, to invite Northern capital and labor to our section, by guaranteeing to pertons coming into our midst freedom and indulgence in their juditical cpin ions and convictions." v- This is the course, this paper advises in our L, conviction, as the best p lit ically and illy to our readers, and wo appealed to the honest men in our county, divested of their prejudices, and freed from the shackles of local influences to bear us out in our views. 8-1? oJ VX?tl nl ... r Now, it is a good corollary from the propo sition that this is the best course for the South, **?fatl attention to the subject embodied in the Heading of this article. It may not be known to all the farmers in that there has beeu a futile and -no-j \\ . ?? ? abortive effort made to organize the Agricultu ral Society of Orangcburg County?aud that the Democratic Club?-that synonym of Quix otic valor and of ridiculous defeat, was to have been the basis of the Agricultural Society, the nucleus aiound which it was to be formed and organized. That this course was uuwisc aud impolitic is as evident as it is, that this was the cause of its failure. . An Agricultural Society from the nature of its subject and its objects, is entirely foreign to-a political association. To embody political aud party purposes and designs into such an organization, is to intro duce elements with which it has no sympathy, and which are calculated to impair its useful ness and success. More than this, to erect and form this So ciety upon the basis of the Democratic Club, is to found it upon the sand, to plant a germ of active and living usefulness iu the worn-out soil of our effete civilization. The Democratic Club has been unable to accomplish its own legitimate political objects, aud the miseogeua tion of its failure and weakness ir"-? tnc Agri 'cultural Society, will certainly t destine this enterprise to like weakness aud failure, will bring down upon it the antagonism and oppo .ktilnm tf those who differ with the Democratic dubia political opinion, the opposition of NNRsWwB? desire to have nothing to do with politics at all. ^ iJTUjpsc facts t\rc so so palpable and evident, that the questiou must arise, what could have rffesn the object of those who have made the "abortive effort to organize the Agricultural ^'Society, with these materials of weak f nesSj and upon this weak and rotten founds? ** ^Wejudge no man, nor impugn the motives of any.one, when we answer this quest'.on, by . saying, that it is a striking illustration of that enervating and paralixing conservatism that vhaS been the characteristic and the curse of this State in the past, that the object in view, was the perpetuation of prejudices that are fatal to advancement and progress, but which arc hugged with a blind and unreasonable in fatuation?that the object in view, was to have a basis, a rallying point where the influence of ^individuals could still live and whence it could still Emanate and be felt?that the ob ject in view, was to engraft this dead and dendomag influence into a now aud great idea, teeming with usefulness and lifo. This party and individual influence is with ?^ered and dead, no grafting upon living ideas, arjao injection of vivifying influences can arouse - it from its sleep, no galvanic shock can put life into it again, it is dead! But it is also dead* f enir,g, sad while no contact with living things ruOnm make It live again, yot Us contact with new and living principles, will have the effect of numbing, and paralizing with its enervating ^'toffueaocs, all associations with which it comes into contact,, and whore its elements of weak ness are introducod. While then the Democratic Club will not be restored to life and pewor by blending it : wifdjt the Agricultural Society, fts* iatroduction and association with the enterprise will* weak '?*''?a *nd paralize the efforts of the new idea* to f expand into a living and useful reality. ?3R .J?QW diametrically opposed to the course which common sense would teem to dictate to * '^{eapfe of 8ou& Csttllsa, i* thii &8U ef fort and failure! It is one of the offices of the Agricultural Society, when to operation Jto eneototge 8jja*V, i ii vi to Northern capital and labor to come and aettlc in tho county, an$ to contribute its tua terialenorgy t? tho recuperation of Our wealth. Ca^ weXcxpect cither labor of capital to re spond to an invitation cotning from a Club, re presenting the very ideas?exclusion?politics which has ever frightened labor and capital from the South 7 A fine guaranty of protection in political opinions, hare those who may happen to differ with the Democratic Club ! These influences, which are so hard to be eradicated?-these prejudices?this tyranny of opinion, this faith, in leaders,?are the ghosts of the past institutions of the South which linger to gibber at aud scare men from sub mitting to the fate, which victory has pro nounced against us, to scare men from "ac cepting the situation," from going to work to build up their ruins, from taking tho course which is most sensible in politics, and must ad vantageous to our financial hoped and pros pects! The Agricultural society is stllldpom, be cause its foster-mother had no life of its own? none to impart to its offspring.. . The Democratic Club would impart its spirit and perpetuate its iuflnonoe, to another gene ration, but has failed?the effort is an abortion, a failure! Does not everything around us tell the same fact more plainly every day, these things have passed away, forever f The future, like the panoramic sheet is un winding itself, and evolving new aud startling realities evory day, events group themselves in new and strange tableaux, wc look at the won derful changes, and scarcely recognize them as realities ! These, these are the realities. Our delu sions, our dreams, our prejudices?these are the spectres, the ghosts, the mists that are melt ing and disappearing ! Hard has been the ordeal through which the Southern people have passed, terrible, hu miliating, and longer continued will be the or deal that is to free them from these sliaclUes, this bonduge, these influences ! Wc need not repeat here tho advantages of an Agricultural Society, the multiform ways iu which it will benefit the individual Mid the community, the benefit to the laborer aud the capitalist, the culture of the soil, to stock raising ; in the iutroductiou oi labor-saving machinery, aud the intelligent use of fertilizers, iu the impetus and emulation it will give to all departments of farm labor. All will appreciate the advantage of such an association. Then let another effort be made to organize the Agricultural Society. Let men, who arc broad viewed enough to waive prejudice, call a meeting of the.farmers of the County. Organize upon no political basis. Do uot unearth the buried Democratic Club, to preside over th>j socrot ceremonies of your organization. Advertise in the County paper the object in rictr, and invite all the farm ers to attend. Wc believe that an effort by men, who have no party or political object iu view, would be crowned with success, and to such an effort, originated by men uf whatever political opir. ions, we give our hearty God apoud ! ? HIW ??>- ?in Correspondence. letter from qeoroe w. williams esq. Charleston, April 3, I860. Governor: I seldom rend the newspapors beyond the commerced information they con tain ; neither have I taken any part in politics since the defeat of Clay, iu 1844, and I at tach but little importance to what the news papers may say of you and your administra tion. I must confess, however, that the editorial which appeared in to-day's JVeirs, fills my mind with the gloomiest apprehension. I sincerely hope that the Charleston editor is the victim of an April fool, for I have too much confidence in your good judgment to believe that you would, at this season of the year, and in time of perfect peace, introduce au element iu the State which would demoralize the agricultural labor from the sea board to the mountain top. You have lived lung enough at the South, Governor, to learn something of the negro character, and how easily they are drawn from their daily pursuits by oircus exhibitions and military parades. The formation of a few negro regiments, at this time, would not only have the most disastrous effects upon the agricultural laborers (both white and black) of the State, but would most unquestionably lead to a wsr of races. The merchant and factors of Charleston are straining every nervo to aid the planters, and they bave been gratified to learn that the negroes throughout the State were working with unusual energy, and were much better pleased with their prospects than at any time since the termination of the war. Yon have, Governor, aeen enough of war to fully ap preciate the value of peace. A few years of peace wiH restore the old Palmetto State to he* fortp?r yr^^wity; but t arar of r.-.oe? will prove ruinous to- the interests of both white and black, and reduce the State to anarchy ruin. I trubt, Governor, that you will telegraph me to contradict the statement made [in tho Daify Ncujt. Youeannot well imagine [the* deep fading and apprehension of trouble ? the arttolo has 4 excitedamong the sobeT and jrcll-dispoacd men of this community: I have the honor to remain your obedient servant, (?igned) OKO.

I Will reply to you by mail. . ROBKllT K. SC?TT, Governor. letter from OOVERNOft 8cott. State of South Carolina, Executive Department, Columbia, April 5, 18G9. George W. Wufittms, Esq., Charleston. Mv Dear Sir: Yours of the, 3d came duly to haud. The windy article iu tlfc Xnc* need give you no apprchcusiun. Jliat journal is somewhat of a sensationalist, audit is of more consequence to its circulation that its loader should bo startling, than that it should be true ; and if a - little personal mnlicc can be gratified at the same time, a double puipose is served. The article beaded "Governor Scott sowing the wind," ia of tnts character, and contain;- but a slight fouudation iu fact for its many falsehoods. I have given no orders for the "immediate formation of a com pany of negro Stato troops." ^^o?<ordcrs have been issued for the enrollment of the militia, under the recent Act of the Legislature ; even the Adjutant-General's office has not yet been opened, and before any organization of the militia into companies or regiuiouts cau be attempted, an enrollment of all the citizens of the State, white aud eolored, subject to mili tia duty, must first be completed ; which, iu itself, will require considerable time. I am led to believe, however, from u lutter recently roccived from Mr. Guffin, of Abbeville, that the Adjutant and Inspector-General, now ab seut from the State, promised him the position of enrolling officer. of that County, when the enrollment is ordered. This may have given rise to the rumors of onli.-tuicnts and excite ment in that neighborhood, spoken of by the News, and of which I know nothing, except what I gather from its fulmiuptions. In reply to Mr. Guffin, who is a native of Abbeville, and as respectable aud as patriotic a gentle man as any in the County, I directed him, if any of the colored people had supposed that they were to bo immediately enrolled, to disabuse them of that notion ; direct ^oni to return to their homes und labors, and remain there until the enrollment is ordered, when they will bo duly notified. I think that my past course will bear me out iu the assertion that I have r.o disposition to resort to violent or extraordinary measures for the enforcement of the laws, while peace ful and customary ag'cucies will accomplish the purpose. The Act of September 22, 1808, placed extraordinary means ut my dis posal for the suppression of rebel!iou or resis tance to the laws ; and although since its passage, for many months outrage and murder were rife in several Counties of this State during winch men as pure and as patriotic as any within its borders were coolly and deli beratcly butchered in cold blood, iu the broad glare of day. aud in the presence of* uuuicrou acquiescing if not sympathizing spectators, ..ud tbeir assassius for Weeks afterward? per mitted to roim about unmolistcd, and in whose detection the County offices manifested but little interest, I did not resort to these ex traordinary measures, but relied solely on the State constabulary. A number of the offenders having been arrested, and a disposition mani fested to acquiesce in the laws, 1 have gradully rcdueed even this force, until it now numbers but three members. Having heretofore, under very embarrassing circumstances, declined to employ military force, at the present time, when the turbulent seem to be comparatively quiet, and the community appear to bo wisely devoting tbeir attention to their material interests, there is little likelihood that I shall resort to military agcucios, or to any policy calculated to interfere with, or withdraw at tention from, our industrial pursuits. In confirmation of this, I may appeal to my efforts heretofore to encourage and stimulate the agriculture of the State ; while others, who arc now my revilcrs and calumniators, were inculcating a con tray policy, in driving off the laborers from the plantations who differed in politics with their employers. I wish it to be distinctly understood, bow ever, that upon the arrival of tho time when, in my opinion, it is pioper to carry out the militia law of the last session, by enrolling the people of the State, white and colored, sub ject to military duty, I shall assuredly order it to be done, without reference to. or ap prehension of, the war of raceR predicted by the Netc$. Probably ?'the wish was father to the thought," ad% it can only bo accomplished by the foolish and incendiary articles of the News and its coadjutors. Their appeals to the prejudices and passions of tho ignorant, the laty and the fanatical, may lead to the renewal of murders and outrages, requiring prompt and efficient measures to enforce the laws and punish tho wrong-doers These, if necessary, will bo resorted to however reluc tantly ; and if evils do conic, the responsi bility of eohsgqueucti* must t'ssi Upon those who provoked them. I have frequently received communications from prominent gontletuen, deprecating and denouncing outrages committed in their neigh bor-hood, but until these assurances are de veloped in StiUiuiiiing . moire positive than mere words, they will conduce but little to the restoration arid maintuhiancc of law and order. 'Their active co-opcrntion In arresting and punishing those who by their outrages disturb the peace of society, and injuriously affect the prosp-rity of the community, would soon put an ond to disturbances that disgrace the State, and render a resort unnecessary, on my part, to the military or any other, ax-, traordiuary agencies, for - the preservutioh of the peace. Occupying a position in society which gives them great moral weight in coil trolling its action, it is the imperative duty of these gentlemen to give a more active and deoided co-operation in the suppression of I outrages which have affected the character of! the State und all who bear her name. It is made my duty to see that the laws be faithfully enforce 1 ; that the citizuu, white and colored, shall be equally protected in his rights, civil and political ; and this I will endeavor to perform, and hope to have the co-operation of all law abiding citizens in my efforts, But no silly affectation or assumption of superiority by the privileged class, which only exists in the fluukeyism of the Xnc?, "of their right tu rule the State which is their* by inheritance, their* by natural right," Are., will be tolerated, und if attempted tu be en forced, the editors may find that those citizens whuni they term "their own negroes," will have a word to say about their ownership. Of the motives of the X?ws, in its re peated assaults upon inc. partaking so much uf personal bitterness, it is unnecessary to speak, as the public are nut interested in them. From the vehemence of their language, and turgid appeals to the "proud past'' uf South Carolina, (what du the editors know about it?) it might be suspected there was an intention, if not expectation, on the part of its editors, of stepping into the slippers of the Mercury) but even if successful, it would only he u reproduction of the ass in the lion's skin No one would mistake its dissonant bray for the roar uf the old I on, or any of his bruud. I he edit is uf that brilliant but i'allaciou.? journal, "'native and to the manor born," were acknowledged gentlemen ; their strung lan guage covered strong thoughts ; and however extreme or erroneous were their views, they had the courage tu stand up to them. The former supporters uf the .Mercury, aside from the want of confidence, wnu'd hardly be con tent to accept as a substitute for the strung meat to which they were accustomed, the milk and water of the unstable Acirs, or rather the milk one day and the water the ucxt, with an occasional dash of acidity, when there is per sonal malevolence to gratify. But it would be a waste uf time, further to dueuss*ihc Xck* and its vapid pretensions The article to which y*u allude would have passed unheeded by me. bad not you called my attention to its falsehoods and misrepre sentations; and apprehending that other .vcll iutentioued citizens might attach some impor tance to them. I have deemed it proper to make my reply public. While I sensibly appreciate the increased difficulties to the restoration uf peace and prosperity occasioned, by the reck less policy uf the AVifjt and its co-adjutors. I shall endeavor to discharge my duty, regard less alike of their abuse, their threats, or their cajoleries. I feel and appreciate tSic sensitivc ucss of our people to the innovations upon the ancient institutions of South Carolina, involv ing so much of feeling as well as of interest, which have been providentially superseded by the new order of things. 1 am uot without hope, howevi r, that they will gradually become reconciled to them, and that they will provj the harbingers uf a bl ighter and higher pros perity than has ever before been attained. To expedite this, all my efforts will be zealously directed. 1 have given to the people of the >?tatc the best of hostages, the identification uf my interests with theirs. Snccringly de nounced as a carpet-bagger, I may at least have the credit of having brought something in my carpet-bag, w hich is more than can be said of most of my re vi lore. Whatever inju riously affects the welfare of the State, affects my own, and it is the dictate alike of duty and interest to pursue that policy (hat will the soonest and the surest develop her resources, increase her credit and establish her prosperity. Very respcefully and sincerely yours, IIOBKRT K. SCOTT Bhancuvmi.le, S. C, April 7th, 1S?9. Messrs. Editors:?It is indeed gratifying to behold the extensive preparations made for planting this year by the furtuors of our neigh borhood; but uhile wc rejoice to see them making Stich noble strides tofuther, and en hance the farming interest, of our country, we differ with them materially us to the true mode of doing it, and it is the large eras uf lands laid aside for cotton, wherein we dissent from them, not that cotton growing to a (certain ex tent, ic not in lily opinion of a decided interest to the South ; but to devote the richest and largest fields to this purpose I believe is in finite to the highest degree, and must, if con tinued, prove detrimental to the whole coun try. If our planters would turn more uf thoir attention to the growing of Peas, Corn, Bice, tie., all marketable products, and allow them selves to forget lor a while tho absorbing idea of a "big cotton crop." they would soon learn wherein the secret uf tho progress aud 'easy living of the farmer lies. It is a mistaken idea on iln ;t of many that cotton is King and can supply every domestic want?it is true there is money in it so long us it com i ma ads the present high figures. But who can toll what it will bring one year from to day ? a commodity, the price ol which nothing is more subject to fluctuations. If ever the South becomes independent and self-sustain ing, it will not be the result of planting cotton, but of raising the prime necessaries of life, and experience, the best philosopher extant, will yet teach our farmers this valuable lesson.? But the misfortune is it may come too late, as many a good thing does. For after every man has beggared his fortune buying fertil izers to enrich his lauds, led on by the delu sive hope of yet coming out at the big end of the horn by planting this staple, it will be too lntc to enter even upon a tolerable cultivation of those thing?? which experience will the:; have taught him to be the most profitable, for he will not be able. Mo crop is more uncer tain than one of cotton, and our' farmers* t?o Icar will be caught in the same trap this year, which some of them made such long faces un der in 1807. Then thoy paid a high price for provisions, &c, thinking cotton would sell well?it was ? King," but a puny one it proved itself to be, for in many places the proceeds, which accrued from the sale of every pound of the crop did not cqUil the outlay. This Wmm not only the case in this State but in Ala bama also?a better co.ton country thar. this. The farmers there, many of them Mm led. or fascinated by the "big idea cotton crop," even went so far as to mortgage every thing they had, real and personal, in order to procure provisions to carry on the extensive fields they had undoi the cultivation of this staple, and what was the result, perfectly natural. When it was gathered suld for eight, and nine cents a pound, its competency falling far short of liquidating the debts contracted during the year.?but the mortgages had to be closed? cotton wasn't King enough to keep the mort gagee from selling their homes. This will show you Messrs. Editors, bow unwise a policy it is in our farmers to neglect com, peas, potatoes, &e, for so unstable a thiii j; us cotton. .
