The nature and the value of the various fertilizers and their application to tho different soils- have beau taught us ami have b-*cn tested by the experience of our planters; awl by the judicious use of thorn you will become tho competitors of those whose oultivation is ooud'uotodr on ra tional principles. A single instance Will giveyofi tho results of tho old and new methods of tillage. A century ago, Kng'and produced 16,000,000 bushels of wheat nnnually. Since 1837 she haaexpended <f 150,000, 000 in bone fertilizers, and now she produces nnnually 1,000,000,000 bush els of wheat. Look at that picture then at this. Thij is a practical truth, the logic of facts, and shop.ld induce you to follow iu the ideps of a country that, by irr enlightened husbandry, has made Albion a garden. Yos, such culture will make the wilderness blossom as the rose. Plaut less, manure more, add the pabulum of life to your oahauwtcd ?oil, aud your labor will be less and your harvest greater. Besides commercial fertilizers within your roach you posstss rest resources which bavo been too sltsn uoglcctod, ov so negligently prepared, oared for and supplied, that they are comparatively worthless. Hew beautl fully hu* a kind Providence provided for ?II our wants, and yet we will not enjoy her rich gifts, although ut our doors. Tl)e earth is a mother, kind to all, and shall not those who partake of her bounty fqru'ub her with loud in tho days of her paverty ? Hoy has not applied his understanding to <M$s%tV out and know the reason of things, nor acts wisely, who neglects the instructive lessons of science, confirmed by' expe -< ricnoo. Look at ;ho farm of him who j advanoes nut with '.hu marcfs of improve mint, and then ttirrn to his neighbor, who is a loader among his follows, and mark the results. All the hopes of the former, cherished in early spriug, are doomed to disappointment when the autumn* comes; tho deluded man attri buting his failure to the uapropitious seasons, forgetting that the raiu and the sun-shine ate 'to tho* just and the unjuut. Behold his neighbor, who in the morn ing sows hie seed and in the evening withholds not his hand?who observes uot the wind when ho sows nor regards the clouds when he reaps, who for times and seasons trusts to Him who gives and regulates thorn. His hopes germinate with his seed and ripen with the full harvest. It wilt not bo thought indeli cate in this connection to refer to your successful uud iutel?geul preaidout, who by tho public voice, wears the orown of a benefactor, who has mado tho old Gelds fruitful, aud whoso barns are burdened with goldeu sheafs. Follow his precept and ezatnpie aud that of our entorpris ing citizens, and when the summer is ended yOU too will rejoice irr the boun tiful rewards of iudustry aud intelligence. Of all med, none dispense their knowl edge more freely than the farmer; with him it is a l'-ixiiry to do good. It is with diffidence that I have dwelt on these things, a knowledge of which others all aronnd me posseas in such large measure. But allow rrss briefly to refer to other topics that deserve your consideration. Is it wise to appropri ato so many broad acres to the cultiva tion of ootton ? Or, which is an equiva lent inquiry, can the planter prosper who purchases his corn in Baltimore and bis baton to Cincinnati ? For, if you do not mako it, to that it must come at lust.

If the progross in the use and applica tion- of tuoeerei has been rapid* aud reao Va&ng, there are other causes contribu ting to tho incteascd productions of our lands. The mechanic, by his artistic ?hiIV, is your benefactor by the invention of new und the improvement of old im plements in every department of indus. try. Within a few'years the number of labor-saving machines would tax your crtdWity. These innovations have occurred wtfhro- the life of marry here present, whose memory can touch both periods. Fifty years ago the shovel plough aud bull tongue wore tho only instruments U.ttsl to break the soil for tillage?even ihc sweep was a noteJty . Now the number of implements used in planting the seed, cultivating the crop aud gathering it, is legion. If yon do not enjoy theso benefits, you aro only hull' a farmer. If you would keep up with the uge i t which you live, yeu must read, think and Coufor freely among yourselves. I will not dwell on these things. Oua short essay from your president would super, sede my crude suggestions. There is one more top'c that deserves a few words not only because it is tho occasion of your meeting, but boos use your hearts are in it. It is this Fair building which you have commenced, and those spaoioua grounds which I know you will embel lish. What has been acoioved by the labor, skill und enterprise of both sexes in all the departments of industry will fill your halls, exciting a generous com petition. The former will come with his appropriate offerings, those rich pro ducts which impart life to ' eomtneroe and manufactures.

Last Saturday was a gala day in Orangeburg. There were one or two gatherings of different associations, aud the streets jwore ?Ii1'? with people from all parts of this flourishing couaty. What particularly interested us was the grand mass meeting that was advertised to take plaoe to ratify the unanimous nomination of Judge t. O. Andrews for Rsnator In the place of the Hon. James i L. Jamison,' deessaii^. It ftss said that this wmld he one of tbs largest sathar Ings over had in that county and that severnl promiueut speakers would ad I he people. Nor was that report very far wroug. Fron: t?e earlUt dawu, the people began to crowd 2a, on the traiw, on fwt and in every description of vehicle the buuiau imagination can conceive. The trionda of Judge Andrews had taken every measure to entertain the Republican hosts, and were only dis appointed in the band, Which had been engaged in Columbia, failing to come to time. The meeting numbered about 2 500 or 5t,00O, and was called to order promptly at the hour of ten, and organi zed by the election of Richard R. Dun cr?n, one of the old war horses of Orange burg," as president, arid John L. Hum bert, a prominent and popular young lawyer, as secretary. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Duncnn addressed the meet ing in a speech* which was characterized all through with a great deal ofsouud sense, and nt^times with much earnest ness and eloquences The speech of the president Of the meeting was well received and loudly ehected throughout, and evidently put the crowd irr most excellent spirit. Mf. Humbert also made a few ap propriate remarks, and tho meeting proceeded to business by appointing a committee of seven on the permanent, organization aud speakers. The com mittee consinted of J. J. Mitdiel, A. li. Krrowlton, Jor.l Larkins. July Kmbj, 8. Ii F>unrao, AJ. Midgtr and F. K. Jones. During the absence of tlfo convmittee Mr. John Phillips was invited to address the meeting, but Whilo acknowledging the call, preferred to wait untii another 1 time. Mr. Phillips is ons of tire staune h farmers of the Kork and is looked upon by the people as one up*i.? Whom they enn always rely. Her is one of tho most effective stumpers in that sectiou of the State. In looking over tho crowd we noticed the Hon. S. L. Iloge.H m. T. U Cooko, L. C. Noithrop, editor of The. I'uion HernJd, aud all the prominent politicians of Orangeburg county. Just, at this moment, Mr Benjamin Hyus, the ir reprcssible. candidate, arrived with a Band ofmustc, au.l so nc limpo -ns by way of banners, and with him wa?; t'olo uci Samuel Dickcrson. of Charleston,' ;\nd some others. Tbl* created much eeatamear, when Mr. Byurt was called upon to .?peak. lie was listened to though the efforti of thu drift an and delivered hims-jlf creditably on an occi sion where the rules of the ptr'y and popularity of the regular u.tmitiee were aga'fn.W. hfth. Of course it. was not oYp'icicd to e.ury luu?fi height in that i i'art y ? I Judgf H?ge Wrr? next called dn and made tho speech of (!.-?? d?y. Iiis ao count uf the Senators who htd beJn elected from Orangeburg, which is hia old stamping ground, wu* very apropos,' and hia tribute to his old comrade in arms, thu Hon. H P. Rin lolp't, wero the most eloquent, chaste and touching sentence* uttered that day in the onusc of the Republican faith. The judge then said that he had long known Mr. Andrews, tho candidate of the regular convention, and had watched him closely for many years*, atfd that he never knew a more upright, straightforward and sincere .Republican or ono more worthy of the confidence of the people. The speaker paid his respects to the opposi lion candidate in a style that pleased the crowd a'l over, aud if over Mr. Byaa had the ghost of u chance in this con (est, Judge H?ge buried tint ghost for ever iu his speech. Ho warned the people that the party would violate all itH laws and split, tVu some fine morn iog they would wake up end find that they had elected a Democrat as the result of Mr. Byas's opposition to the I. ar nominee. The post speaker was Mr. KoKinlay, the school commissioner, aud ono of the candidates before* the convention This j-peaker defended hia record aud pledged himself to vote and work for the oleotiou of Judge Andrews as the regular nomi nee, aud expressed the belief that tho psopls never would regret the unaui mous voto they had gtveu Judge Au drew* in the convention. Then came Mr. John Phillips, who pitched into Mr. Ryan without gloves and said that he had sacriafjed tha people the last election and would do it agaio ; that he had brought bauners and music to deceive them, and had tried to ridicule aud degrade tho colored mail by pictures representing him in all sorts of mean and low conditions, and had triad to# fool them oo tho question of oolor when that question was dead in O.ange burg. Mr. Phillips was often obeered and made a very effective effort. Thero were several other speakers called ou, but ths pooplc were anxious to strength uu the inner man, aud iba meeting was adjourned uutil after dinner. Tho en .tiro Assembly- then moved to the tables, which were about a half a mile in rear of the stand, aud were covered with beef,, mutton, bread and ?orhe"strong water." 1 ??** I " 1 .UStta* *=* rW.n ???"Ope *v*4v ] Ths barbeette wta gr>r?m np by fee nominee and hin friendo and in a style Tar better than most of those -?c! reporter hat attended iu th political eninpasjfltV ^flKramWart abundance ,for *"KflB tf$,m#it ordet spirit, with at. evident sai.ee of genern satisfaction, prevailed throughout the scene. When oil were filled, the Stand was again .occupied, and Lieutenant Colonel .Sam. Jlickersoo, who had come up with the independent candidate, went in strong to the support of the regular nominee. Tbo meetiug finally adjourned with great enthusiasm, sutiafied that there wus but. one way for au honest Republican to do, and tint was to vote solid for the nomine? of the convention Union-Herald. i 'i LIST OF LETTERS Stents?! n ing in the Oraugebarg Post Office up tu .yugiist 1 tih, 1873.
