Look at that picture then ut this. Tlii' is a practical truth, tho login of faet.s, and should induce you to follow iu the i'tepR of a country that, by an enlightened husbandry, ha? made Albion ft. garden. Yos, such onlturo will make the wilderness blossom ns the rose. 1'laut 1cm, manure more, add the pabulum of life to your cxhainrtod ?oil, and your labor will be less und your harvest greater, liosidos couiniereial fertilizers withiu your reach you possess vast rosouroo* which have been too olten neglected, or so negligently preparod, oared for and supplied, that they are comparatively worthless. Uew beanti fully ha^a kind Providcnco provided for all our wants, atid yet vre will not enjoy htr rich gift.-, although at our doom. The earth is a mother kind to all, and shall not those who partake of her bounty furnish her with food in the days of her poverty ? He has not applied bis understanding to search out and know the reason of things, nor acts wisely, who neglects the instructive lessons of science, confirmed by expe rience. Look at the farm of htm who advances not with tho orurcft of inrprove m?nt, and the' *.:rn to his neighbor, who is a Icadc. among his follows, and mark the results. All tho hopes of the former, cherished in early ppriug, are doomed to dihnppoiutment when the autumn comes; tho deluded man attri buting hi.; failure to the unpropitior.s seasons, forgetting that the rain and the rum shine am to tho just and thv- unjust. Behold hiH neighbor, who in tho morn ing sows hid seed and in the evening withholds not his hand?who observes not the wind when he sows nor regards the clouds when he reapd, who for times and seasons trusts to Him who give* and raguLtes thorn. His hopes germinate with his ^eed and ripen with the full harvodt. It will not be thought indeli cate iu this connection to refer to your successful and intelligent presidout, who by the public voice, wears the crown of a. biiuafactur, who has toad a the old fields fruitful, und whose barns are burdened with golden sheafs. Follow his precept aud example and that of our enterpris ing citizo ns, and when the summer is ended you too will rejoice iu the bouu : tiful rewards of industry aud intelligence. Of all men, uoue dispense their knowl edge more freely than the farmer; with < him it is .t luxury to do good. It w with diffidence that I have dwelt on the?e things, a knowledge of which others all aroanJ me possess in auch large measure. But allow ure 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 oolton ?

C. Amlrcios a Certninty. Last Saturday was a gala day in Orangsburg. There wore one or two gatherings of different, associations, nnd the streets wore alive with people from ml parts of this nourishing county, What patticuhtrly interested us wus the graud mass meeting that WAS advertised to take place to ratify the unanimous nomination of Judge T. C. Audrews for Rsuator in the place of the Hoc James L. Jsroifon, deceased. It was Said that t h '* wr?nM be one of fh* '?.*g?.t h?r ings ''vor had iu that rounty and that several promineut speakers would ad dress the people. Nor was that report very far wrnug From the earlist dawu, the people began to crowd in, oo the train, on fwt and in every description of vehicle the human Imagination can conceive. Tho friends of Judge Andrew:, h.id taken every measure to entertain the Republican hosts, and were only dis appointed iu the band, which had been engaged in Columbia, failing to come to time. The meeting numbered about 2,500 or JM'b-O. and was called to nrd-r promptly at the hour of ten, ami organi sed by the election of Richard R Dun cr.n, one of the old war horses of Orange burg, aK president, and John L. llum? h*-rt, a prominent and popular young lawyer, as secretary, I'pon taking the (hair. Mr Duncan nddreoftcd the meet ing in a speech which w is chnructerixod all through with a gfeit deal ofsouud sense, ami at*"tiuies with much earnest nesa and eloquence/ The speech of the president of the meeting was well received and loudly cheered throughout, and evidently put the crowd in most excellent, spirit. Mr. Humbert also m.tdc a few ap ! prspriato remarks, and t!io meeting i proceeded to business by appointing a I committee of seven on the permanent organization and speakers. The com mittee consisted of J. .). Mit drei, A. Ii. KnowIton, Joel Larking, duly Ktnby, S. Ii Duncan. A -1 Minger and P. K. ?lone*. I During the absence of the committee I .Mr. John Phillips wasinvited to address j the meeting, but while acknowledging j the call, preferred to Wait until another time. Mr. Phillips is ons of the staunc h farmers of the Fork and is looked upm by the people a: OOS up-n.? WliOltt they oan always rely. He- is one of tho mo?t effective stumpers in thnt section of Lite .State. In looking over the crowd we noticed the Hon. SI.. lloge.H tu. T H ??oko, Ii. C Northrop, editor of The. L'ttio'i I Herald, and tuII the prominent politicians of Orangeburg county. Just at this moment, Mr Benjamin H\;is. tho ir rcprcssiblc candidate, arrived with :? h:iiul of" music, nu.l so nc limpO'iis by way of banners, stud with hi-n wru- t'olu uul Samuel Dickcrsoo, of Ch -rlcslon, and some others.

Rin-lolp't, were tho most eloquent, chaste and touching j*v fit ?neos uttered that day in the 9ause of the Republican faith. Tho jud.je then said that he had long known Mr. Andrews, the candidate of the regular convention, aud hau watched him closely for many years', aod that he never knew .1 more upright, straightforward and sincere Republican or euo more worthy of the contki?tiice of the people. The speaker paid his re-'ptcts to the opposi tiou caudidato i't a. style that pleased tbu crowd a'.l over, ami if ever Mr. Byaa huu the ghost of u ohmce iu this co t test, .Judge H?ge buried tint ghost for ever in his speech. He warned tho people that the party would violate all its laws and Split, Am some Quo morn ing the} would wake up and hud that they had elected a Democrat as tin re-ult 01 Mr. Ryasa opposition to the regular nominee. Tho neat speaker was Mr. KcICinlay, the school commissioner, and cue of the candidate.? before the convention This speaker defended his record and pledged bimseil to zotc and work for the eleotiou of Judge Andrews is the regular nomi uee, ami expressed the belief that the people never w -uld regret the unani uious vote they had given Judge An drew* in the convent ion. Then came Mr. John Phillips, who pitched tuto Mr. Byaa without, glovco and said that ho had sacriufjed tha people the last election and would do it again ; that lit had brought banners and music to deceive them, and had tried to ridicule aud degrade the colored man by pictures representing him in all sorts of mean nnd luw conditions, and had liied to# fool them on the question of color when that question was dead iu O.ange burg. Mr. Phillips was often cheered and made a very effective effort. Theru wcro several other speakers called on, but the people were auxious ic strength en the inner man, and tho meeting was adjourned until alter dinner. The en tits assembly ihoti moved to the tables, whieh wore- about a half .a mile in rear of (ho stand, and were covered with beef, mutton, bread and imrh?i"aireng water."
