THE 0J^&m^''Sm8 SATURDAY, JAN. 8,1870. MALCOLM I. BROWNING, Editor. The Labor Questiou. This ia tho question now. Hands for this year! Let us see how tho cuso stands. Hundreds of negroes in ibis county have bought land of their own. Hundreds of white farmers have con tracted with no hands yet, and many see no chanco of getting any. Many no doubt, will get no bunds this year. And to those we say plainly, "'Tis your own fault." While many uro soiling lands to the colored people, as many are complaining ?gainst this, and abusing thoso who have sold i&nd to those people. We shall not discuss tho policy of selling laud iu this way. Much of it has been sold, and the colored men arc building aud set tling upon it. . We say emphatically, this docs not in terfere with men coutracting with them to mnlce their crops. We will illustrate by the plan fur nished by n gentleman in this county, and one who is never at a loss for as many hands as he wants. He has rented lauds to families all around him. Tho men of these families aro to work in his contract for one-third, as heretofore. The women aro allowed to work tho land rented to the family, the owner having a lieu on their crop for the payment of the rcut. The owner also by the terms of the coutract, at cer tain times can call on all the hands at so much per d.w. to work iu his crop. This plan seems to us admirable. Here tho egg is broken ; the problem r solved. By this arrangemcut the color ed man has his home, his family working ? for him and for themselves; and the owner of the Innd has bauds for all the land he wants to plant, for himself, aud the rest of it is routed out to good, pay in? tenants. Not? even suppose tho laud is sold in stead of rented to these families, the same plan can operate; and the same security is given for hands for the plan ter, and a lien secures the payment for the purchase of the laud. Aud this lat ter is tetter, Inasmuch as the security to both is permanent and not temporary for one year. Tho colored man, is set tled and happy, aud the plauter has hands around him, ready at his com mand. Mutual forbearance and kind ness on either side, will secure content and prosperity to both. Tho colored man is not avaricious, he as satisfied with comfort. By this means he realizes the wish of his heart, to have a home. He is elevated us a man aud a laborer. He has every inducement to be honest as a man, and industrious as u laborer. Ho i? rendered contented and happy. It takes very little to make him happy, and he has a right to bo happy. Without some such plan as this, the -same difficulty will arise each year for hands. And it will increase eery year, for tho colored mnn is resolved to have a homo aud a start iu life. And can wo dare to say that they have no right to this. Whether or no, the industrious of them will have it. By the plan suggested abovo every land ?owoex has a tenantry around him, of the most docile and tractable laborers, iu the world, and by this plan, the colored man is elevated in the scale of humanity. And it is to the advantage of every com munity and every individual that ho fcbe elevated. How the plan will ?work, and how smooth both parties will get along, depends upon how both parties act to ward each other. Wo throw out those suggestions at this time, when this question is all ab sorbing, for what thny arc worth. We would commend to both parties, now, when theso questions arc becoming more complex, and moro vital, a spirit of calm reason ant} moderation, a spirit of for bearance, and common sense, [COMMUNICATED.] Dies Ir?, Dies 111?. The devil was cmtaiuly loose in Or angeburg, last Monday, and a jolly good time he had of it. There was enough whiskey drunk in the Villago during tho day to float tho ancient 'burg up to the > dignity of a seaport town, nud entitle it, beside tho Common Pleas and General ?cssioi)h. fo n United States Court with ' original admiralty and maritime jurisdic tion. ^ Tho attraction was three-fold.?Court day, Sales day aud Circus day?tritt Juneta in unu?and as either of those is generally sufficient to draw a crowd, judge what must have been tho result of tho three combined ! j Tho Sheriff sold nt public auction over sixteen thousand ncrcs of land, aud the grave question arises, to a suporGciul ob server,- whether any one has a home of his own in, or within ten miles of, tho Village. Tho mulo and horso market, too, was flourishing?being iu that re spect, quite tho reverse of many of the objfccts of its benign charity, and there will doubtless bo high carnival and great rejoicing in the heart, of many of tho poor quadrupeds,-ut the effected change of owners.

It was the "little joker" over agaiu?now you sec it?and now you don't! Yae viel is ! Tho Court sat?and rose again?no dainngc resulting; for the Gran I Jury did not present itself iu the magnificent numerical proportions required by law, and the Petit Jury was?well, too petty for business. However the Sheriff was ordered to procure a sufficient supply of tales, (and to attach them if neoossury,) aud tho juries, the next morning, were complete in all their mystical und har monious parts. The Circus was n failure?half tho audience was drunk aud "higher" than the hy-ena, who appeared somewhat de pressed at the want of an opportunity tg gratify his ghoul-like propensities. There, were several individuals iu town during the day. and especially toward evening, whose convorsi m into a meal or two for that not over-fastidious animal would huvo been a good thing for the communi ty, if not for the hyena. The ether ani mals, particularly the monkeys, seemed to bo iu the enjoyment of a reasonable ? ?hnro of health and vigor?ns did also the fair, though sanguinary, Miss Min nie, who executed her grand juts as coolly, aud with as little unconcern, as if they had been utter strangers. The leg islature, which is shortly to pass an act for the punishment of the fathers of cer tain uncertain fatherless children, should certainly inflict some penalty, '-deep aud dire," upon the perpetrators uf such an cestral murders. Toward evening the friendly skies endeavored to drape the earth with a mantle of snow, but, the supply failing, wero obliged to desist from their pious efforts, and givo way to moro comprehen sive Night, who covered all things under her sombre wings, and "Peacereigned in Warsaw." A. B. K. Wo publish below the reports of the Committees of the Orangeburg Agricul ral Society. The subject matter will be read with interest by our readers. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. The committee to ^Jiom was referred the subject of "Agricultural produe'ts," beg leave to report : that they have con sidered the same, and the multitude of these products precludes an extended no tice of any, while a mere enumeration of them would cover pages and place our country in a most enviable position. Though some arc indeed better adapted to our soil and climate, yet, so benefi cent are that soil and climate, scarcely a product of any zone but may be raised in somo degree of perfection here. Your committee earnestly desire to sec our people avail themselves of this very re markable capability. There can be no doubt that iu it lies our chief strength and that our eventual prosperity ,vill b . due to tho climate and soil that offer re munerative returns to the grower of cot ton, corn, rice, peas, wheat, barley, oats, rye, the vino, indigo, turnips, melons, every variety of fruit and grain, not less than to religious toluratiou aud civil liberty which wo hopo again to enjoy. These advantages he.etofore never ap preciated must now be brought to notice aud utilized; nor can your committee imagine a better iuvitation to immigrauts from every quarter of the globo than a simple publication of tho various pro duel ions of our fields, offering us they do the advantage of cultivating here what ever they may have cultivated in their native land, and thus saving tho loss of time and money in learning new oceupn tions. It is truo that at present- with labor taught but little skill except in the cultivation oi" our staple, cotton is j by luv tho most popular und profitable crop ; but it is by uo mea.us certain tbut others may not rival or eclipse it, onco attention and skill be united upon them. Immense yields per aero may be realized from the grape ; and even the despised und discarded sorghum under the new and improved mode oi' syrup and sugar making may supplant cotton iu many Jiolds. Indeed it requires no groat stretch of fancy to expect that, iu u few years, Chinamen will tend fields of Ten in this very District, j more profitably than in China : and Frenchmen :|*u Germans, press from Carolina grapes us generous wines .as ever gladdened tho hearts of their countrymen. These things uro within the scope of reasonable probability, since ouch of these products have already boon raised successfully with little capital or effort ulid loss . kill, and may beyond a doubt, under hotter management, be made to swell the value of our lands aud render our State more attractive than tho West, which hereto fore has secured a vast majority of de sirable immigrants. God has indicated the advantages of diversity of occupa tion by bestowing diversity of faculties and tastes upon us, and capabilities of yoilding manifold rewards to labor upon our soil. To seek the profits yielded by otic only of thes; products of the soil, is to enjoy but the thousaulh part of our advantage. To diversify, is to enhauc? the value of our great staple, while Wu cheapen all other products of which we do not possess a natural monopoly. Let the warning of the past be ?8 efficient as it has becu terrible. Wo onco embarked our all iu a siuglc vessel to be wrecked and lost. Again we are about to resume our mistakeu policy. No peoplo cart so attain independence or prosperity. Let our fields be us devcrsilied, in cultivated; as they are in spontaneous products. Particularly would your committee urge the propriety and advantages of planting largely of .small grain, which in addition to the small amount of labor required allow time for second crops tho same season, when the land has been well manured. Of oats, they recommend the red On account of its immunity from rust and its large per Cent ago of grain Of Hurley, they would speak with cau tion.not having experimented, and being of opinion that it is only suitable tor stilfand well manured lauds where the yield exceeds corn several times in value. The committee having experienced the difficulty of making .sufficient forage lor ?tock*und having kucmi ltie Rorichum planted for that purpose with apparently very favorable results, invite experiments with it and reports of the cost of ruining, the yield and value as forage, green and cured, as compared with fodder aud pea hay. They deem it worthy of cxpci'i ment sowed very thickly iu well manur ed drills, as corn is sometimes sown for similar purposes, iu this connection too they desire to recommend the planting of turnip crops for Stock during the win ter. Where care is taken iu (he prepar ation and fertilizing of the land, aston ishing crops of this very valuable food may be made. Now that stock can not he allowed to earn their scanty living dur ing winter in the swamps and branches, it is of importance that such cheap food he provided for wintering in the lotw, aud saving their valuable manure and valuable carcasses t o. liaised and fed on the same ground, turnips furnish ele ments of lertility that alone would more than repay cost of production. Lastly your committee would call at tention to the priiuc iirpoiUincc of se lecting seeds which toll not less con spicuously in the yields of field, than blood in tho value mid beauty and size of stock. It were heiter and wiser in such a matter to make our own careful selections, rather than incur tho risks o.f imposition by purchasing from abroad except were the product not being en tirely adapted to our soil or climate the seed do not attain perfection. Respectfully submit toil, F. M. WANNAMAKEH, For Committee. UEI'Oltr OF COMMITTEE ON AGRICUL TURAL IMPLEMENTS. Mr. President <ot<{ (Jcut fernen ?>/ tfie Society:?Your Committee on Agricultu ral Implements beg leave lo make the fallowing Report, which uiusi, necessarily bo imperfect, as ihAubjeet is inexhaus tible, and our oxporiono limited. Wo believe, however, that the main object of the Report will be accomplished, if we succeecu in creating renewed interest in a most important matter, and exciting a discussion, which must be of benefit tu us all. PLOWS. The difl'crtit puttcrns of Plows in use among us, first received our attention, and wo givo it as our opinion that mauy I of the implements, to which we have been accustomed in tho past, must give way to later inventions, more suited to tho improved system of farming, which is being so generally adopted. We believe that most of the plows Uiado by our. County Smiths, require innre heran power tlinn the amount and kind of work done, will justify ; and thut I tho waut at uniformity in their con struction is a serious, obstacle to their usefulness. . Wo recomiuoud, the moro general uso of two-horse turning plows, which will enable us to turn uuder, com pletely, the vegetable matter so ueeessary to keep up the fertility of our lands. This is very imperfectly done by the use of a single horse plow, and besides, we think the In-bor of one hand is saved, between the variuus patterns of two horse turning plows iu use, wo shall not endeavor to discriminate, believing most ol i he in to bo good. There arc also many excellent one horse turning plows, but your Committee think that most ol' tho work done by them, can be performed moro cheaply by hoinc mndu plows, if properly shapod, aud re comiuoud that the Society consider souie plan by which more uniformity iu their construction can bo attained. Various sub soil plows (generally used behind a turning plow, and in the same furrow) are *ln use among us, but our experience \yjth them is so limited that we would not be justified in recommend ing any particular patterns. We will mention ono^ however, exhibited at the late l'uir iu Columbia, which attracted our attention as being an admirable implement it is knowu as the Alur/ee Sub-snil plow, manufactured at Rich mond. Vu. Your Coas&iitcs vrvmld evpeeSuilj r: commend for use on our light lands, ths implement fmowu as the %i/)i\-A:-on Surccp*' believing that ihnjtat cttitirr} which this plow is designed to aid, is the proper ono for us to adopt, in this hot climate and thirsty soil. It differs from the sweej) in general use, in having tho wings so f uttotied. as to offer the least resistance tivrhe draught, and by its use, we arc enabled to cultivate much more land, with the atuie horsepower.?In addition t* this important advantage, fewer roots are cut during the cultivation ol the crops We class this plow among the most useful implements of Harrows, which are used for leveling and pulver izing laud, and covering small grain; we need say nothing inoie.'cxcept to advise that they bo made at homo. Thosu from abroad ure entirely ton expensive lor general use. COTTON PDA NTKItS. Iu these tunes of uncertain labor, ibc Cotton l'lauter is an implement, which few can afford to be wit In et.

Kvery planter should ! have one of these impleuiciits COTTON OiNS. Of the number ol Cotton Gins, (Tor short slaplo) whicll have come under our noticd, many of which w< rk admirably, we will mention but onr, which lias at tracted more attention than any other, it is the "Gullet Steel Brush G n." A well known merchant of Charleston, vis ited Manchester, England, during the past season und was informed that the spiimcrs much preferred cotton prepared by this I*in, and that iu their opinion, the same quality of cotton would class ! onr. grade higher than if ginned on ma chines of other patterns. Cut while recommending this (Jin, wc would state that it is higher priced and requires moro horse-power to run it than any ol the others. COTTQN PRESSES. Until the rcceut fair :.t Columbia, your Committee were convinced that no cotton press in use was superior to the wooden screw commonly used through* tit tin South; but we there saw a press, known as the "L'tley Cotton or Hay Press," which we think highly deserving of attention by our planters, and which has many advantages over the wooden screw. nOltSX P0WEU8. Of l.orso powers we are ol the opiui 11 that tho . intl commonly used by the planters, and well known to ev ry one, is the fVst for general use. UEAPKR8 AN1> MOWERS. Of reapers and mowers (or b ith com bined) we navo but one in use iu this County, which we learn ha*' given -?'?isfactiiit is k"own as tho *'Buck Eyc Reaper ami Mower." Few planters ouu afford to own one of these imple ments, bUt neighbors might combine in the purchase of pno, and be enabled tt harvest small grain or h?y? with a great saving of labor. Hi t: 2UP KXTlt ACTORS. Your Committee would like to recom mend in this report, an implement for extracting Stumps, which arc n groat nuisance I ? mir larms, and causa inoru loss than most fanner* are aware of. We regret our inability to do this, but would urge that the Society give the matter serious attention. It may be possible that by a united effort we might rid our farms of stumps, at small expense to each member, and thereby remove a j great obstacle to an improved system of agriculture. Although many huploMicuts j must bo passed over in a report s" HlUIr tod as ibis, yet your Committee think that wo have mentioned tho most im portant, and trust that the hints thrown out will be of use to the Society. Respectfully, THE COMMITTEE. An OUTtt.VrJK.?Some two weeks ago, a party of armed men visited the house of Mr. A. P. Turner, of this County, aud Bred a number of shots into it, to the jeopardy of the lives of himself and family. 31 r. Turner, uetiug under the authority of Mr. Wallace, Collector of] Internal Revenue, for this District, had seized two illicit stills, which provoked the attack. Last Friday night, the rev enue officers of this County seized a still of James Cautrell, living within two miles of Turner. Ou Sunday night last, a second party of armed utetl, disguiseJ. visited the premises of Mr. Turner, and, after firing about ninety shots into the house where his wife and family were sleeping, .set fire to his smoke-house, fod der, crib aud other out building*, and throw into the flames his carriage wagon and buggy. They then hurst open the door of his dwelling house, destroyed a portion of his furniture, and threatened to shoot his wife, who Was lying in bed, sick, and sought for Mr. Turner, who, fortunately, was spending the night in town.

SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, in the form of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF MME ' or DISSOLVED HONK PHOSPHATE, is the* basis of nil good Fertilizers, and lhflW ore ? valuable in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Arid which is in them. The immense ilcporits of Phosphatic Guanos which were discovered in 1807. in SoatJfc/ * Carolina, by Dr. PKATT, consist mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime,-which is wade available hm u Fertilizer by being ground to powder, ami reduced by Sulphuric Acid to euoh a condition hh to make its,insolub1e phosphate soluble/in ?rater, and thus mad^capable Of i bting taken up by growihg plants.
