WITHr S, JOHN FRASER, J. M. ELLIOTT, W. II. WILLIAMS. Salutatory, Having taken charge of the edito rial dopartment of this paper,commu nicat-on upon any subject other than 'business, will hereafter be sent to my t addross. In politios,jI shall advocate the doctrine of State Rights in all of its forms, as the true solution of our 1 present embarrassments. Though se cession has proved an ihaudequtlc mode of asserting tho doetrino of State Sov oreignty, and - though it is now tic inonstrated that the Union is too strong to be peaceably broke!n, events have also proven, with equal clearness, the wisdom of those who foresaw the purpose of the black Republican par ty to destroy the States, and who now boldly charge it with bringing on the war. The wolf, on the upper stream, accused, like this party, the lamb de siring peaccably to drink below and seeing itself threatened, betaking it self to the right of escape conferred by the constitution of nature, of vile ind outrageous rebellion, fell upon it, and tore it to pieces. Doubtless, too, said wolf then licked its bloody jaws, and oxclaimod, 1ike the R adical itencgade of the South, with complacent satin faction, ",impracticable J1low / lie tried to got away, did he ?" I hold there is no truth, even in Mathematics, that is not subject. to charge of im racticability. For ex amplo, all plain Geometry starts out upon the definition of a straight lino. Now I ask, has any one over seen the anathomatieal straight line ? No, it, is a mental eoneeptiion, "a mere thee.. ry," to use the popular language, for it "has length without either breadth or thickness." "It is impracticable," to draw one. Yet, I reply, such lines proximating the mathemnatical eon noption, lead us to eminently useful discoveries. 'l'ho ffort to attain the impraotieablo theory of two parallel straight lines, lays off every corn and cotton field in the country, though I admit that "more cotton grows in crooked rows than in straight ones." Lot ploughmen abandon the impracti. cable theory" of two parallel linesn, or of two linies every where equidistant,let thom like the radicals, thme negroes, at least, literally, but really the whole party' (for theoy deal .in short-sighed and foolish tempera ry ox pod ionts,) just follow after their ulto, and what becomes of ploughing I I shall roturtn to thIs subject once mocro. In matters conoeorni'ing the Distriot, 1 shall advocate the establishment of n joint-stook moenied institution dhevo ted exclusively to assisting our citi senis. I shall advocate a working, and not a spochlifying Agricultural Socie ty. I shall advocate every mnoasuire chlonlated to conciliato and imtpr'ovo our colored citizonis, the groat labor ing class to which we nmst look for years to comno. I shall aidvocato im 3nigration as not hostilc,but beneficial ini its tendencies to our present labor. Courtesy to opponents, under all cir cunmstanoes, and a willingness to hoar their arguments, and to somo extent, to publish themtt, siince there is but one printing ofhico in thm ])istriot, shall guide my conduct. As far as in me lies, I shall observe thme eleventh Coin nandment,--'"Mind your own busi *ness and lot other peoplo indt theirs." IIENJ.11t. STUART. An Imnpraoticable Theory. Such was the flippnt remark of "leadIng meon," when Columbus pro posed hia wonderful voyage, wvhich, if all oircumstances be remembored, is . perhaps the most romiantio nelaieve ment upon the pages of history. And ever since, earnest advocates of truth or enterprise have been disgusted by the same senseless cry. Tihe theory * of States Rights, time keystone of the arch of tihe American systom, hats boti pironothiced <impractIcable," and )any of us, whtoso reason had been atpetggprod and beelouded by the disas . tors of war, woro tempted, by this fal 4ediadIous objootions to renounce our ear 1icr and purer faith, had to look anx-. iouslyr for somno better theory amidst ~ ~v'3e paya ot so-called principles p~t2e2d by the Radipal party, and fl idthey given urn assurance of a I 0m~oi truth, broad enough to [roAt a dibonb's destiny upon, we had chneer-. ioi' ydry bosAhe'risB naf tho v.ilrct ad modt wretcho d- falehoods; and 10' morost lypocricise ; "nihibood iffrage," &c., for example. Now we admit, that States Mk glhts I about as im praeticablo as plough ig in parallel straight-lines, but the loal is just as true and just as full of omnon sens ; for just as the cifort, to lough in parallel lines result:; in ood ploughing and a well laid off old, so the eflort to respect the rights f the States and the theory of State overeignty, has ever produced, and ver will produce peace, Iprosperity md uniioll, under it loved and benili cnt Federal Uovernment. Wo have never known whether or iot to agree with a valued friend. 'that the world must have been in a .cry uncivilized condition, %]whenl (od hose the Jews ; but We feel very sure, hat the JewVs regarded their -reat Bader as ''impracticable'" when ihe ingorod oi ithc lount, whecne he rougtht the ten coijnm iitaents writ on by the finger of God. And so hey m-ide them a golden calf, as 'somiething tangible, soiniciigsuited .0 mankind, something tit practical 101n ai understand, &., e.'' Now te confess, that we regard the fen oimandmeats (and we beg pardon of ll inlidels, murderers, adulterers, hievos, backbiters and misers) as ibout the best tling that we have eIn on the subject ; but we also Col 'ess, tihat they are "an impracticable h1oory." For certainly no single nan now alive has ever conformed to he ten coimmandiments, his duty ,bough they be ; and to ex ject. moi kind generally, either North or South, and more especially South, to do so, while the .R ad ical party is florescent, strikes its as a mst preposcerous, a inost vision ary, a lhost, "impracticable theory." 'T'le Radicals arc opposed to States liiglita. It need not sur prise us ; they object to tlie tenl coin miiandmn t s. Proposal to the Citizons of Faidicld )is trict of an Imiganration, Agricultura Manufac'uring and iank mg Coi ..ny. (Continued.) I have been requested to give :t crude draft of a Chart or for such a company, and shall d Soi, a fter11 an swerilg two -' ijectionsm. First " W hirt will you get ready money (for re:ad money is the key to your plan) in the Iesent, impoverished state of the Ieis sive combination, and by n'uluerom small contributions,payahlo in annual instil ments, extending over a serie. of live or six years. See section be low. It is lei'(ause "we are poor and unable to raise money'' (hat c)bflin. lion is a necessity to effect anything really important in result,a nd because ''we are 're, poor tha lt the comin. tion should lie rery/ e.etensire, and thtc shiares of' thea comtpanty i'ry! sma(l/, hut $'25 each, so thant thle amnont solicitedi as acontribuation fr'omnehLlst ock-hioldle will lbe simaller' than wulmt he conll afford to give and far nmore to lead at interest on the most availablle securi ty. The obijector ad miits, thait 'caidy muonoy will do it.'' ilo admits, that more labor is needed, for its own sake, and because it witll st imlate what we have to greater efliuieiicy. limt "we are ahlnost st arvinmg."' 1/' so, I reply, sometlthlin g imst, be done, and no0 sinughe mian being able to do mucli, we shouhd comie. it is timo11 f'or us to learn the eliciencey of' an extensive comb ina nation. Thie .Enporer of the Fench witinmour own times10 and but. thle otht er day, so to speak, asto(n i.,bm thme Div'il ized wuorldl, rescued hiis govern menat from bankruptey, and propped h is tot terinig throne, by propoisinag anad a f'ectinag a Ioan aof inill ions of dotllars from thme poorer classes of' hiis people ill very smiall amounts, thus ap peal ig to their individual interests, public spirit, pat riot ism and nat ionalI pride. Is not the quest ion of labor a riar more vital qjuestion with us ? is ehill penury so gracious a sov'ereign that we should hug its munnbing shains? Should wo nmot rathter unite (for union is strength to fling impov orishimenit off? 'The rich might afford to "let things settle themselves.'' r'ho rich, if there bo any'suchm in Fair hiold I)istriot ; but the poor must com bino upon some other . plat form thant sontinued poverty and1( distress ; uipon bhe platform, rather, of intelligent on torprise upon some well-conisid ered md steady plan. Croak no more, ~herefore, of "want of money.'' It is in argumnent for net ion, and at once. 2. "Biut we want Iimmigranit eapi. alist to como1, and buy, and go to u'or't thiemselves, not sil nply laborers.'" r'o this~, the best answer is, that you nuat build uip a conlgenialeetwy, atnd lhen the immigrant capitalist will as. .irodly comb. Dtit our first effort nust be aireood, towards the poorer aboring class, who eatnnot pay their >assage money, andlit must be a wvell Ilretedyteady, persevering, earnest, mthuslastic, ready money r..1,:c.:. ,tbeso days, i)~onns alf sorts of strong idjectives) efforts, or it will' at loast for our life timo fail. The movemont, too, by being put into tie hands of I)lrectors of at com)paiy, will be free of the whims and fancies of anly :ingle individual, and not sub.jct to the idis couragemicnt of isolatod or even ro pcate1d instance:s of failure. It will be unfaltering and steady. Now the charter. I . Title, capital, stock-holders, olli cers, &e. . 2.

All this is strictly true; that would freedmen make the ac knaowledgement ? Not apt. Then, are all of them as represented above? Not all. Thank (llod, the holy light of knowledge, polit ical, civil an-a Chrlstian, is beginning to burst into their minds, and many of them now see their delusion, and are awakening to their duty, and are now swearing eternal enmity to Rtadical'rule and oppression, and comking over by scores to the good old Do muocracy! The Freedmen have been fooled, cheated, belied and betrayed by the designing, ava ricious, croaking, fawning, hypocritical demamgogues,aindt ricksters,who are fat tening vatmpire-like, upon the spoils and plunder of ollio, until by dear -bought experience, inniy have learned, that the fanatics are their enemaies, the Southerners their only frieiah. Now I ask, is it right, after the whole South, by each State seperately, in its acknowledged sovereignt y, has freed you, voluntary given you your liberty, that you sldat htato us and love the Radicals ? It is not right. What ! Africans, love the very tnen who stole some and bought some of I heir fathers, and brought them over to (te Nort h in this cotntt-y and put thei into slavery and afterwards sold then to South erners and put i he money into their pockets and .ot love the Southerners, who freed you without pay ! (have you your liberty with out, price! 8na for what? because; we thought you might. be able to take care of liat, even With (lie Rads to help you, have you been able to do it? no, indeed ! To-day, the freedmen in the South, ar less cared for, leis fed, more meagerly clad, and nore debased,and therefore more d isgraced, than ever before in this country, and why ? llecause your olh owners have been debarred from inanaging and providing for you, by the avaricous oflic and power' hunt-er- , (th Roadicads, who have taxed and oppressed you and uts, ithIott wisadom, mnercy or' rea, sona, the taxes f'or thie exponses of (lie gov erntit, beinag ten timtes as tuch int thie last. fiscal year, as they were in any cite year' before (lie wvar.

It. has stolen the garb of Abolition fanaticism, and with one feil-mighty stride, ins rushed over the South, once a rich, pow orful, generous, enlightened people, and with the awful power, of iany nations, (fur many were her hireling soldiers) has laid waste the country, razed towns and cities to the ground, depopulated them and commit ted the most horrible crimes, ever known even to the Heat.hoc World! Servant girls were seduced and ravished,matrons abused, beautiful and high-toned, virtuous virgins, violated I while the torch, the fagt, sword, musket and bayonet, were ever busy, I works of fira and ruin, theft, plundcr, and blood !

By this course our Agricultural prospects are diminished, and her interests blastel, forever ! Our conamercial com modit ies are also lessened in proluction ani value, an1d thousands of industrious labor ers, turned out of employment, to steal 01 to starve! And this is your boasted Radi calism ! Where are your thousand of love ly girls who were driven from employmen in your factories lately, in the North ?

This day, onco so full of life and merriment, passed off very quietly in our town, our citizens attending to the daily routine of their business as usual. We are a subjugated people, and actions prove it. Our liberties are gotio, nor can we feel assured that noxt Fall's political reaction will be strong enough to restore them. The truth is, we must restore them our selves. ,Fourth of July but recalls to our minds mournful recollections of the past, and conjures up gloomy foe- . bodings of the future. Is this tho freedom for which our fathers fougl, Is this tI freedom that will content our young men and our children ? No. But be silent, thought. Work, but be still. Death of Colonel Win. J. Alston, We regret to record the sudden death of this gentleman on Saturday last. Il1 is said to have fallen dead, while walk. ing across his room, from a stroke of paralysis. Col. Alston frequently rep. resented this District in the General As sembly, and took an active part in its affairs. Pay Up. Persons indebted to us for Advertis. ing, Job Printing, Subscription, &c., are requested to come forward and settle the same. We wish it distinct ly understood, that we don't do a credit business, and want all the money due us. So feel about your old clothes, and come on. Immigration,-A Request. Citizens interested in the meeting proposed on the 13th proximo, are re questod to embody their views in brief, practical resolutions to be pub. lished as hints for the considoration of the public. Let those who propose to donato land, for instance, thus sug gest a mode of organization and pro. cedure. As long as an idea is vague and not brought to the test of practi cal action, it can meot with neither earnest opposition nor enthusiastic support. "My Parole." We call attention to the romarka blo composition, "My Parole," to be -found in another column of to-day's issue. The Land We Love. The "Land We Lov" for July con tains fifteen articles from the best wri ters of the South. Comparative Gen eralship is the first of the two articles on Grant's military career. The causes of "Decay of Religion at the South" are treated in a masterly man nier. "Cicero's oration for Marcollus" is a sprightly classical article over the well known nomn de plume of S. L. C. D)r. Ramsey completes his inter esting history of the revolt of the State of Franklin. Prof. Blake fur nishes one of his best agricultural ar ti lles on "Lime as a Fertilizer." Miss Porter gives a pleasant tory. The poetry is from Mrs. Preston, of Virginia, Mrs. Davies, of Kentucky, Mrs. Clarke of North Carolina, and the lamented Henry Tim rod, the last piece ever written by him. Ruta Baga Turnmps. Ruita ]Baga Turnips should be planted immediately, and 'till the Iclose of thiis month. 3Experience is against their doing as well, if planted later. They seem to need a good start before 11)e August rains. Fall Crop of Irish Potatoes. From now 'till the middle of Au gust plant Irish potatoes for a fall crop. The small potatoes picked out and dried in the shade will servo for seed. Often the fall-crop succeeds the better of the two. Court of Equity,.
