It was a most successful affair-|j nearly 2,000 persons were present and much enthusiasm prevailed. The son timents of the speakers were agreci. ble to both classes of the crowd. Up on the colored people the truth som ed to dawn. Well dono for Ridgeway ! Mluch credit is (1110 to the Cominit. too of a1rra11ngeiments. We hai I the rising star of the Fair field Deiocracy.

Oomparativo Statistics, Wo have comliled from the census of 1860 the following table of the comparativo val-ae of land per acre in the differont Districts of the State, and it is a very fair Index of tho pro portionato Agricultural wealth to the acre of the Nistricts at that timo, as a careful oxaminati-i of the difl'oret products and amounts to;the acre, will convince any one who will study the problem. The failure of the ric eul turoc and the comparativ'e failure of the culture of long cotton, of course r'end(er the table an inaceurate comn p)arativo test as applioablo to the present time. Negro labor, too, is now inore efficient in gomoe Districts thah in others. With, this preface we give the table, calling attention to tho fact that Fvairfield District is proved to be~ by/ it one of the bcst planeing re gions in the State.

As ubsidiary to this, we iust bring in armors and laborers, accustoined to ho crops and the system, whilh, to omo extent, tho times seein to de iand.

Some buse our planters for not giving up otton altogether.
