I Almost every paper in South Carolina I has endorsed tho resolutions of tho Press I Conference. The sentiment of the Press S it unanimous. * | The plan proposed is simply this: | I Upon tho (full and unreserved reoogui I tion of the civil rights of tho colored people of tho State, on effort is to be made to uo 6 citizens in the en deavor to secure hon< st and good men as our rulers and representatives. A meet ing of the citizens is to be called iu each County of black and white, Democrat nnd Republican. That meeting is to en dorse the. policy recommended by the unanimous Press, aud to select delegates to represent the County, nt tho Conven tion of citizens to be hold in Columbia on the 15th of Juno. The Juy for those County meetings will be suggested und recommended by tho Press. It is tho sentiment und suggestion of tho Press, aud- they utter tho voice of the people, that colored men shall bo choseu as delegates from each County as well as while. \ ??? bail In some Counties this great movement will be a success. The day will have come when tho colored citizens will reason together with the white citizens And take counsel as to the best men and Ibest measures for the good of their coui ' in on country. Heaven grant that this may bo in 'Orangetmrg! In order that this shall ibe the "case in our County, there is a vital and pressing necessity that our citi zens should each one do his part. We have printed in these columns ap peals thnt have come from our heart. The cours?'of action and the policy that m'h d w rb i seems to actuate, the great heart of this people now, was oms from the first. We ask you, men of Orungoburg whether this one: conscientious course has not guided the suggestions and characterized the tone of these columns. And now the "voice of the people, the voice of . God,".has endorsed and ratified our ad vice. Our appeal to renounce n buried past, and to*'forego the phantom delusions and ghosts of hopes that lingered to deceive t?ua; our counsel to "accept the situa itiou" and to recognize facts that were Irrevocably fined andsettled ; our advice to ceafee the bootless.protest against the inevitable, these have all met with favor at the-JKonds'of our readers. We felt -ft*;!-. ? ? m cheored in advocating a course, at first unpopular, and revolting to our preju dices and blighting to our hopes front the obneiousness of feeling that wc were honest and earnest.; wc are more abun dantly and more richly cheered now that the voice of this great people have rati fied our policy and corroborated our heartfelt sense of duty. Men of Orangcburg, you know that the course advocated by the Press is the only one that has one shadow of promise of success. We appeal to you now, in no vague and eloqueut generality, to be more practicable, and to accept facts which your opposition cannot change ; but we appeal to you for the sake-of honesty, purity, for the suko of your State, your altars, homos and little ones to iavor, to work for this movement. Away with tho lethargy of despair! Say not to yourselves, wc have made so many efforts and they have failed, therefore we (shall matte no other ! You have never. yet made a sensible practical effort upoti jthe basis of fact. This is tho first one which is being in-' raug'urated now by tho people of Caro lina. Oh ! let none stand off nor shrink, from the performance of hia part in this grand effort. tfpoo tliis practical and reasonable effort, made by a people submitting to tho evolution of facts which have become historical, and which the God of history knows of and permits; upon this great and patriotic effort the light of a brighter h,ope, beams than has yet shono upou this afflicted pooplo; upon this effort made Mpon the basis of facts for which wc arc uot responsible, tho blessing of Honvcn must beam; upon this effort success shall sh/wo and crown us with a sunlight of victory. A new civilization has dawned lipon, tho South, n civilization which has mado giant strides in the direction of tjio ulti. _ _ j" mate triumph of the oauBe of liberty and truth ; and the Southern people, at last recovering from the stunuing, crushing aohievemcut, are recognizing tho groat facts and changes whioh aro tho bases of that civilisation and arc londing their aid in its furtherance, and placing themselves in its pathway to reap the benefit which must evor accrue from these triumphs of progress, and the amelioration of hu manity over the effete and stagnant sys tems that ever nnd anon settle as an in cubus upon a nation. And to our colored citizens we would speak in favor of this movement. The facts of your citizenship is recognised and afrmitt^ 'by the white people of . your State. They greet you as fellow* citizens and ask you and to come and to reason together for tho welfare of their '0 union Stotel They are willing to nominate and they will nominate and vote for the honest and worthy of you to hold offices in the , Stave, Do you ask moro than this ! Does the party that controls and enslaves your vote give you or promise you more than this ? Do you ask or promise yourselves more that) this ? This is what we recognize and guarati tco to bo your rights. Aud we ask you simply to exorei?o your rights and pre rogatives' us citizotiB of this Stutc, not, to continue this rule of corruption which is as revolting to your sense of decency and honesty as to ours, but to secure the government to those who are worthy whether they are white or black. Wo nsk you to uuite with us in the great effort. When the meeting is called iu this county, come to it, and consent to be delegates, to represent the honest and worthy citizens of your State, who would redeem their State from its vile durance of dishonesty and unworthiness. [CO M MUNI CA TED.3 Who Will Respond? The Press Convention has met, and now submits its actions to the people. Will those actions be endorsed, is now the question. | What does the Conven tion suggest? Simply the recognition of tho letjul right of the colored man to vote, nnd to bold nfficu. Is there a man so indifferent to the progress of events, or so blinded by prejudice as to deny this fact ? Is not the action, of the Dress tho plain dictate of wisdom ? Consider the great object in view, the redemption of our State from corruption and misrule, and tho establishment of just und equal governnent. and we can then bettor answer the question. The ^gentlemen composing this Convention havo taken n broad view of tho political situation; they hove surveyed the whole field, and in culm conference, have adoptod a wise und musterly movement, a movement which will strike terror into tho Radical camp, und decimate their already wavering ran s. It is to be noticed that we are not called upon to admit, a moral right, but a haal one. Moral philosophy and political philosophy arc by no means identical. It cannot be denied that the right of voting is a sacred trust, u right which no one should exercise without feelings of deep re?pn libility, without fear and trembling, und which should be entrusted only to the honest and intel ligent, but alas the imperfection of hu man govern me .t forbids ! Education, tho great purifier, is the only remedy. Let us then take the world tis it is, and not as it should be. Let us kef mit the facts which stare us in the lace, nnd use them for the accomplishment-of better things. The powers that be, to whom we aro scripturally enjoined to be subject, have given to the colored man the right to vote, and why should we murmur? What Providence bus permitted we should not rebel against. The great desideratum now is good government, besides which al! minor considerations should bo buried. With singleness of "motive, and honesty of purpose, let us then buckle on our armor for the cou test. Let us unfurl our peaceful banners to the breeze. 0? the one sid,C let us, write cetrenchiueiit and reform, and on the other equal rights and equal justice to all men. Our batk will then bo launched upon a new sea. Our con nection with the National parties will be severed, and as such wo must steer clear of party prejudices aud extremes. We must avoid tho seylla on the one sidu, and the Charybdis on the other, aud follow the golden mean. Such a course if pursued with unity hone ty and discretion is fraught with bright aud cheering hope. It unveils a glorious futuro for our State. Will it be adopted ? M.

But why attempt u selection, much less an enumeration of tho good things in this nous.illy good number of an uu usally good magazine. The table of con tents occupies an entire page, and there is not an article that the thoughtful farm er will ueglect to read. The Rural Carolinian, containing monthly sixty-lour pages of reading mat ter, beautifully illustrated, is published for the wonderfully small sum of ?2 per snnttlU. by Walker, Evans & Cogswt-li and 1). Wyatt Aikou, Charlestou, S. C. ? mmtmammmm ? - * i???i ? An Encour.ujinu VlEW.?The Chi cago Tribune gives a cheerful picture ol Southern .-ospects. "Rarely, if ever," it assures us, " has the South been in n bettor position to tradj than she is now. Money is plentiful, and skilled labor is in large demand. The consequence has been a large migration Southward Du ring January and Februruury about 3,000 laborers passed over the Illinois Central railroad to Cairo, whence they proceeded to lields of lucrative labor iu the Culf States ; aud the exodus contin ues. Nor is a oh tinge from this healthy couditioti likely to occur. The gjeat Cotton crop of l?t>S 00 realized well ttigh $200.000.000, and if the. price of the staple does nit materially decline, and the estimate of a yield this season of nearly three millions of bales should prove correct, the South will command about 8300,000,000, which, with the | proceeds of her sugar, tobacco and other staples, cannot fail to have a marked and most favorable, influeuce upon the commercial, manufacturing and fitinn ciul interests of the entire country." Sheridan's Order.?General Sheri dan issues a general order from his head quarters at Chicago, congratulating tho troops of his district upon the gallant exploit of Colonel Raker in slaughtering a village full of sick aud sleeping men, women ami children. He says the blow was "carefully prepared" atld^wua "well merited." This is a little more than even Radicals can stand; and if there is any virtue in the country it is more even than the country will stand. The mur der of the Piogans, the New York Tri bune says, "was un act of war?war in violation of newest treaties and fairest promises?war in violation of a distinctly uttered, widely proclaimed, clearly iuaugvatcd policy of peace." Sheridan's letter of-'congratulation" is an insult not alone to Christianity, but to the commonest decency. - ? - ? ? The Freshet an> tiik Rice Crops. ?The freshet, say8 the Savannah adver tiser, which prevailed for some time psst on the Savannah, Altaiinhu and Ogoechce Rivers, husscrionsly interfered with planting operations, and iu many cases interfered materially with ihe rice prospects for the coming year. Coming just at a time when all the preparations had been made for planting, and iu the majority of cases the seed already Sown, it bus put back operations at least three weeks. iu ail the plantations the fields have been and are still under water; and if t h - rivers do uot fall this week, tho damage to the present rice crop will be incalculable. There is a woman iu Dexter, Maine, who has been married twenty-five years, is tho mother of nine children, mostly boys, and has done her own work with tho aid of members of her own family. She has, iu that period, , manufactured eleven and a half tons of butter and thirty five aud a half tons of cheese. Lands for the Landless.? To the Editor of the Charleston Neuis.?Notic ing two a/ticles in your papor on tho subject of immigration, and being my self an immigrant, 1 feel authorized in offering still another suggcr-tioa on that head, and with your kind permission, I will now propose a plan by which to to turn the channel of iauuigratiiou to tho soil of South Carolina. That plan is plain and leasable, requiring no Outlay of capital, but in lieu u gcnerul donation of somo ncres of Wasto laud, which af fords no' iucomo to {lie owners, but tend to increase not only their poverty individually, but that of tho State at large. It would surprise any one who has out thought on the subject, to be inform ed te what ex tun?- taxes are paid on J.surplus lands. At tho present moment, none will deny that it is less difficult to get the subscription of one thousund acres of land than twenty thousand dollars iu ensh. This laud offered'to immigrants will uudouptedly attract to the State, in any desired number, a people, willing to work and contribute \\\ in their power to the prosperity of tho .commonwealth. And again, such induccn outs offered give to the proprietors the advantage of Delecting immigrants from the most in dustrious und honest of tlfu laboring class throughout Europe The question arises, can the immi grant pay bis passage witBout assistance ? This is easily solved; for with one hun dred thousand acres of land, tt will not be difficult, either iu Europe or Ameri ca, to negotiate n loan ofififty thousand dollars at b'ix or eight per cent, on five year's time, provided always a good mortgage be given on the land, thus securing to the capitalists the twenty five dollars, with interests paid each immigrant. Thirty thousand dollars of this sum will be sufficient to pay the passage oi two thousaud immigrants to any part of the State. The remaining twenty thousand will amply cover all agencies, bureau expenses^ Ac. But it may seem to those who may do tue the honor to readmit is article that a difficulty will arise as to who may be entitled to the first immigrants. The first subscribers are entitled to the first ohuico. Communications for jor against my plan will be beard with Interest, either through the medium of, pie Charleston A'cics, or by letter addressed to Box. 12. Beaufort, S. C. ? Sot tu Kit n AuuicuLruit.w. Max ims.?We extract frunfltthc Augusta Chronicle tho followIuSs' bfl^of irony which our planteis would do well to ponder: Look to the merchant fur advances and mortgage independence, but increase cotton. The refuse bay of the Yankee farmer 's sweter to the tooth of the cot ton planter's mule than succulent fodder, aud Western Hint corn coutuiucth more nutriment (ban Southern gourd seed. It is better to handle much money tbuu to make sure gains, aud a harrow ing debt to be prej ared to a sure sur plus. Look abroad for meat; but at home a brave, gnawing usury. Starve the ctittla upon a thousand hills, but buy guano. Great is he who buycth meat and bread and oxen asses, but cheapeiieth garments tor the world ; he eztendeth his labors: be sendelh abroad for wood ware and Utensils and field implements -, be bandletb much money aud giveth tlu st ranger tho profit thereof; but be is accounted great, and the trading man muketh obeisance to him; but the con tentmut of him who oweth no debt bringOth no futUO among them that t > and fro over the face of the earth. TllO New Volk Legislature has under consideration a bill reducing the Commu tation or head money upon immigrants entering New York from 82.50 to ?1 5(1 a passenger. The commissioners of emigration, it is asserted, have, durin? the last eight years accumulated a fund of 88,000,000, besides paying all ex penses and demands upon them. The head money is intended to guarantee the city and State of New York against the able-bodied emigants becoming a burden on the public. Tho steward of the White House com plains that there is not silverware enough in that establishment to '-set respectable free lunch :" all of which goes to show i that Butler ought not to have been in. vited to the Wbito House to dinner. No amount ol careful watching can pre vent the triumph of bis genius in captur ing silverware.* if once he shall fix his eye upon it. The Tope bus ordered 10,0(10 brocch leading American uriny rifies of the Hemi.igton patent. These arms are constructed on tho same system as tho new breech loading rifles used iu the United States naval service. President (irant lets things wag on as they will and as Congress prop ises. Botin Platt says, in ease ot a Domocratio victory, bis Serene Highness "will qiliot 1\ swing over and smoke ou tho other side." York patronises the Penitentiary heavily. Thrco York negroes have lately been seut thero to remain fifteen years. One of them amused himself by killing a man. The other two indulged the divertitmnent of burning and robbing stores. Oov. Scott's militia is impudent and aggressive. They have crossed over from York District into the neighboring County of Cleveland in North Carolina, when they appeared at ? Court of Ar bitrating which was attended by some sixty citizens of the county? They were armed with sixtccn-shooting rifles, and acknowledged thut they bei ugod to Scott's militia. Said they were there for the purpose of-" huutiug turkeys." The citizens were outraged und indig nant, looking upon the proceeding as au jusult, and uti effort to intimidate the the Coprt. It whs .with difficulty thut a few cool heads could prevent commo tion and violence. A meeting of citi zens was held, and resolutions adopted requesting (Jov. Scott to restrain his lawless militia from entering their State during the sessions of their Civil Courts, to overawe and intimidate thci. legal authorities und other good, citizens.
