A single instance will give yon the results of the old aud now mnlhodb of tillage. A century ago, Kng'?nd produoed IG.000.000 bushels of wheat annually .Since 1837 bhe has expended i 150,000, 000 iu bone fertilliztrs, and now bhe produces annually 1,000,000,000 bush els of wheat. Look at (hat picture then at this. Thij is a practical truth, tho )ngio of faets, and should ind-uco you to follow iu the ideps of a country that, by an et lightonod husbaudry, has made Albion a garden. Yes, such oulturo will mako the wildcrnnss blossom ns the ream JMaut lean, manure more, add the pibulum of life to your cxhanvtod soil, and your labor will be less and your harvest greater. Besides commercial fertiliser* withiu your roach you possess 1 vast resourocs which havo been too el ten I noglcctod, or so negligently prepared, oared for atid supplied, that they are compuratirely worthless. How beanti - .- ? ??? .:: :i: j n-m_sr^^trnmrs^1-ii fully has u kiud Providence provided for ?I! our wants, and yet we will not enjoy her rich gifts, although at our doors. 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 his not applied bis understanding to search out nnd know the reason of things, nor acts windy, who neglects the instructive lessons of science, confirmed by expo rienoo. Look at the farm of htm who advances Cot with th?? ovnrc? of iorprove nunt, and then turn to bis ntighbor, who is a loader among his follows, and mark the results. All the hopes of the foitner, cherished in early ppriug, are doomwl to disappointment when the authmtr comes; the deluded man attri buting his failure to the unpropitious seasons, forgetting thnttbe rain au? the sun shine arc to the just and tht> unjust. Behold bis neighbor, who in the morn ing sows his seed and in tho evening withholds not his hand?who observes not the wind when he sows nor regards the clouds when he reaps, who for times and seasons trusts to Him who give* and regulates thorn. His hopes germinate with his seed and ripen with the full harvest. It will not bo thought indeli cate in this connection to refer to your successful aud intelligent president, who by tho public voice, wears the crown of a buuaiactor, who baa made the old fields fruitful, and whose barns are burdened with golden sheafs. Follow bis precept aud example and that ef our enterpris ing citizens, and when the summer is ended you too will rejoice irr thebouu til'ul towards of industry aud intelligence. Of all men, uouc dispense their knowl edge more freely than the farmer; with bim it is a luxury to de* good. It is with diffidence that I have dwelt on the.se things, a knowledge of which others all aroanj me possess in such large measure. But allow ure briefly to refer to other topics that deserve your consideration. Is it wiso to appropri ate so many broad acres to the cultiva tion of cotton ? Or, which ban equiva I lent inquiry, can tbc planter prosper who purchases his corn in Biltimore and bis bicon in Cincinnati ! For it you do not make it, to that it must come at &tt.

I submit these queries to your de eis ion. i Has Ttot the time come, felloW-eiti rens, when you should consider the im portance of diversifying your purs tri is with tho introduction ef other things adupted to our SoHnnd ortuiste f May We not indulge the hope that tf>e day is not distant when we shall not only re?t under our owu vine and fig treo, but ?h u the pure juice of our grape will swpetsedc the manufactured poisou* that degrade .tncf destroy t [Applause.} One of your worthy directors is a ptHlnoor ' in this branch of industry, and his efforts ehould be applauded and his enterprise encouraged. ? If the progress in the use and applies,; ?ion- of we owes has been rapid and reno vating, there alte other causes contribu ting to the iocteased productions of our lands. The mechanic, by his artistic shilK is your benef'wetor by the invention of ui.w and* the improvement of old im plements in every department of indus try. Within a few years tho number ! of labor-wring machines would tax r your crcttortily. These innovations have occurred wirhio the life of many here present, whose memory can touch both periods. Fifty ye.irs ago the shovul plough and bull tongue were tho only instruments u?e*d to break the soil for tillage?even the sweep- Wae a notehy . Now the number of implements used in planting the seed, cultiw.'ing the crop j and gathering it, is legiou. j If you do not enjoy these boaeCta, you are only bull' a farmer. If you would keep up with the age i i which you live, you must read, think and Confer freely among yourselves. I will notdwellon these things. Oue short essay from your president would super sede my crude suggestions. There is one more top:c that deserves -\ few words not only because it "rs tbo occasion of your -.neeting, hut because your hearts are in it. It is this Fair building which you ha\e commenced, and these spaoiou* grounds which I know you will embel lish. What hjfi been achieved by tho labor, ?kill und enterprise of both sexes in all the departments of industry will fill your halls, exciting a generous com petition. The fnrraer will come with bis appropriate offerings, those rich pro duct? which impart life to commerce and manufacture*. The mccrnnio will point with Prirrtnph to his miglsty achievements?what his head has oon ccived and hi.s hands have executed. The merchant will exhibit your raw ' iuateri.ll wrought into rich fabrics by the elilful hands of the artisan. The schoolmaster will be there proclaiming that learning han accomplished all these I thing, and admonishing you to odueato I your children. They all will freely in | terohange their ideas, and eommunioa te and rewire instruction YYorunn, tjhc- bright ornament of your bouse will eoltbe tu light up your hnll with her amirVs and to adorn it with the pToduotlons ot ' her skilful hands, exalting emulsion wit' -out the jealouiy that em bittern it. If ehe cannot share with you the toils of th< j field, when with the sun you close you r labors, she can make you forget the heist aud burden of the day. Wbilcyourl hands direct the plough, hers will contribute to increase your store. -Withwut woman there is no home; witho? t her your annutl fairs might intercs! . tho head, but would nev er engage tb< t heart ! [Applause.] Among yot irselves, let your rivalry be that of a I motherhood, advancing not only your km n prosperity, but that of your neighbc r.

Last Saturday was* a gala day in Orangeburg. There wore oue or two gatherings of different associations, and the streets wore alive with people from all parts of this flourishing county. What particularly interested us was the grand mass meeting thai was advertised to take place to ratify the unanimous nomination of Judge T. C. Andrews for Senator in the place of the Hon. James Ii. Jarotsnn, deeesasrl. It Was said that this wrrtld re on? of the Isfge.t /*.th*r ings over had in that county aod (hat several promineut speakers would ad dress the pt-ople. Nor was that report veiy far wrong. If row the earlist dawu, the people began to crowd in, on the train, on fwt and in every description of vehicle the bun,no imagination can conceive. Tho Iriendfl of Judge Andrews had tnken every measure to entertain the Republican hosts, nnd 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 and was called to order promptly at the hour of ten, and organi zed by the election of Richard R. Dun can, ofte of the old war horses of Orange burg, as president, and John L. Hum* beft, a prominent and popular young lawyer, as secretary. I'pon faking the chair, Mr. Duncan addressed the meet ing in a speech which was characterized all through with a great deal of sound sense, and ntfeiiries w?th much earnest ness and eloquence* The speech of the president of the meeting was well received and loudly cheered throughout and oridrntly put the crowd in ni"St excellent spirit. Mr. Humbert also made a few ap prapriatu remarks, and tho meeting proceeded to business by appointing a committee of seven on the permanent, organization and speakers. The com mittee consisted of J. J. Mitihel, A. Ii. Know I toft, Joel Larkins. July Kmby. S. I, Duncan, A J. Minger and f\ K. j -lone*. j Dpring the abac tree of fife rhuwtwittee i .Mr. John Phillips was invited to address j the meeting, but While acknowledging j the call, preferred to wjtt untii another ! time. Mr. Phillips is ona of the statine h farmers of the Kork and is looked upm by the people n.-< one upo.? whom they ean always rely. He* is one of tho most effective stumpers in that section of the .State. In looking over the crowd we" noticed the Hon. S h. Hogc.H Mi. T U Coo&o, \j. C. Noiihrop. editor of The ("/(.?>-< Ileraln, and all the prominent politicians of Orattgcburg county. Just at this moment. Mr Benjamin Byus, the ir reprcstdblc raruTidate, arrived With a I band of music, an i Bo'nc ltm-po<n* by I way of banneis, ami with hi-n wa* t'?du i uel Samoel Dickcrsoo, of Ch-rlc.-ton, and some others. Th/s croated much confusion/, when Mr-. Byua wa? called upon to .?peak. lie w is listened to though the eCfortj oftha chi'rnn m l delivered himself creditably on an occt sion where the ru!c-> of the P??ty and popularity of the regular nominee were aga'fnst bflh. Of course iS was r?ot cxp'jcJcd to rtarry iinr-on weight in that partyi Judge Hugo W.T? ucXt Called on and inaile the speech of th?" dty. His ae count of the Senators who lud been elected fron? Orangeburg, whieh ia his old st imping ground, wae rery npropot, and his tribute to his old comrade in arms, tho Hon. B K. Rmlodp't, were tho most eloquent, chaste and touching .jvfttcneoft uttered that day in the cause of the Republican laith. The jud^e then said that he had Jong known Mr. Andrews, the candidate of the regular convention, aud had watched him closely lor many years-, aod that he never knew a innre upright, straightforward and sincere Republican or euo uiora worthy of the contkleiiee of the people. The speaker paid bis respects to the opposi lion candidate in a style that pleased the crowd all over, and if ever .Mr. By.i? huu the ghost of a chance in this con test, Judge H?ge buried tint ghost for ever in his speech. Ho warned the people that the party would violate all its laws and split, that some lino morn ing they would wake up and find that they had elected a democrat as the result 01 Mr. Byas'a opposition to the regular nominee. The neat speaker was Mr. Kclviutay, the school commissioner, and ouo of the candidates before the convention This speaker defended hi.-t record and pledged himself to vote and work for the cleotiou of .Judge Andrews is the regular nomi nee, and expressed the belief that the people, never would regret the unaui uious vote they had given Judge Au drewrin thn convention. Then cams Mr. John Phillips, who pitched into Mr. Byas without, glove., and said that ho hud sacrictjed ih. people the last election and would do it again , that he had brought banners and music to deceive them, and bad tried to ridicule aud degrade the colored man by pictures representing him in all sorts ot mean nnd low conditions, and hud hied to, fool them on the question oi color when that question was dead in O.snge burg. Mr. Phillips was often cheered and made a very eUeetivo effort. There wero several other speakers called on, but the people were anxious to strength uu tho inner man, und the meeting was adjourned until after dinner. The en tire assembly- thou moved to the tables, which wero about a half a mile in rear of the stand, and wer? covered with beef, urn;ton, bread and nonx* "strong waier." The barbe^ne wn -jot'on np by the nominee sod but fricads and in a stylo Far better thai: uiont of th?ns v?,bi cdl this reporter hm attended in the various political campaigns. There-i was an abuudanoe , for all, and the moat orderly spirit, with an evident sui.he of general satisfaction, prcrailcd throughout the sceue. When nil were Glied, the stand was again .occupied, and Lieutenant Colonel Saui. Diclerson, who had come up with the independent candidate, went in strong to the support oF the regular num.uee. The meeting finally adjourned with great eut busies ui, satisfied that there wus but. one way lor an honest Kcpublicau to do, and that was tu vote solid for the nomine* of the contention t 'w'on- Herald.
