THE FAIRFIED HER ALD WLNNSBOHO, S. C. Wednesday Morning, Maroh 3, 1869. D p 11artt's, Williams & Co., Props Massaohusetts and south Oarolina The census of 1860 proves that !assachut.ots produces more than South Carolina, and proves that she does so becauso o: her skilled labor era, hor mancfactures and the com mtoreo springing from thom. The cotton crop of South Carolina for 1860 is stated to have been 33:3, 413 bales. worth about $1.1,000,000. Ior'corn and ~ peas crop was, al out 1A.000,000 ltshols and her small grain crop 2,000,000 bushcls, in all about $20,000,000. Her' rico erop wits worth $5,000,000,"--and say that her fodder crop. on item omitted in the consus, was worth as much Her manufactures are stated at $G,000, 000. So that the grand total of the products o'f South Carolina was $50, 000,000. Lot us turn now to Mtascbusctta. The product of her shoe muatr.tfac"t,rie.; alono reached .l6,000,000, heing more than three times the value of the cotton crop of South Carolina. The product of all her various mann factutres is stated as $2GG,000,000. Her fisheries produced over $10,000, 000. Her shipping and colnterco must have yielded at loast $:25,000,. 000 more-atn grand tot at of $300,000,. 000, from whih deduct the value of tho[ra w material, $1d0,000,000. \ nd tho not t pro(i act of Mass:t!itusc tts in 1860 was $160,000,000. No,, the popialion of Massaobu setts was not doullo that of South Carolina by 200,000 people. Ilow (:nte her prod uce to be over thtre times as great ? Wo answer, it, was duie to her tiducated skilled laborers. WVelcom1e, therefore, all su-:h to "outth Carolina. Newberry Ahead -- Iuntat Newborry. '1'tto statement of a Colui tlia cor rlespo(ndent of the Now YV.rk 'I 7imcs published below, that Newberry in January imported as inny as fifty immigrants, having connonced sone time las' year by bringing on sone five, six or ten per month, is full of meaniing. Here, planters of Paih lield, it a fact, to answer all your quibbles ag-ittt the practicabth,1y or thc viw f,r an Immigration Society proposed aui urg-d by the liAitor of this pa. por. Wo told you repeatedly, that t. that was needed was ready money obtained by n extensiv combination of poor plantiters. it ;s not too late fir you to do somowhat oven now. L^t fifty of you fling iii tifty tliIar., apiece, and import fifty good farmers, and withal get your money back with l in erost. If' you doubt whethot' it can. be rdone, read and ponder wrhat we' print below: A Columbnia correspond(ent of the Now York 'I'imes, thus alludes to the progr'ess of the a imigration move n utt in South Carolina: 'The agen cLOs nro pirivate, and tho resultsi are decided and will tell in timo.

A numibe'r of planters met at the courthoutmie several months ago, conferred uapont the matter, agreed that whito labor would pay, formed an association, up. pointed an agent, paid each ia hundrtodl d,i tars as a beginning fund, andl the work coummenuced. 'r'ho agent began by getting first small numbersti'-siX, eight., ten or a dozen1 at a timHe--and, fromn nmouth to motfh, brought on a few more; his number of iummtigrantnr laborers for' January being just fifty. And thus the work will go on until May or thereabouts, when the demandl for this year wvill slack off' to be renew oid in the autumn for next year,. am iniformned by a member of this New burry assoointion thiat the laborers already in service do at least fit-y per Cent. more work than negroos. The renate is easy. to be seen-the negro muns give >lace to be Saxon and the T'uUno. lie must move nearer and nearor the coast, iere, orn accounlt of the malaria, the whites will be slowver to go. Those persons who expect largely of the negro, tell me that it stimulates the negro to (10 fifty per cCllt. more wvork." ,In ootalrmation of the paragraph in the Coluoii bitt correspondence of the New York Time's, the Newberry 1/er. ol says: "Ini conversat ion wit,h Mr. B3ruggemnan the $lber day, we learned thatt already have one hundred and Seventy emilgrants been bronght to this, Laureins and Edgeifield Districts, through the Nowberry Imniugrationi S .coery since its formiation.

Negroes Imitating Fiddler-Orabs. Another Mtbile negro has written co t ho mongrel organ at MNkontgomlery onecruing the row over the rspoils, mong our Jacobins here. Of course he person he addresses is an "IIon ruble." What nigger is not an hon. rable in these latter days? As the he term "Don" became in Spain what we see it to-day, so the prefix t 'HIonorable" is becoming in this coun ry. There is no ,urer sign of the imita ive powers of a negro than in the Persistent manner in which he apes he habits and puts on the worn out n itlos of t superior race.

The I.egro hop who a'utilos h,o title otf hionorable make themselves .er m19res riliculous than any white oen of the pree.-nt day who would do e ty astuming the title of Archon of \thells or Consul of Rome. We in. tcrit our civiliz!ttion from the Greeks: aid llomntts. They were white peo- It de, and they developed a civilization 1 'titable only to white people. When he negro l ttemnpts to put on and wear nt a civilizition, he plays a ridiou. C ens part of the fiddler orab that steal9 nd bears along, the shell of some a thnr species of fsh or reptile. The negro is as incapable of bear ng forward the civilization of the vhtite mant, or of t-thing part in the I vhite man's government which is the 1 xponent of the white man's civiliza- c ion, as the rat terrier is of acquir ng the habits of the Newfoundland log.

The nalmo of this singular plant moans that (luring the snummer it is a vegetr - ble, but that in Winter it becomes a uori. If it is observed closcly at the latter end of Scptelher nothing simn. lates better to the eye a yellow worm about four inches in length. The ip. parent transformation takes place gradually, and one can see eyes, head, body, &e., in the course of formation. This plant is extremely rare ; it is to be met with in Thibet, and in the Emperor's garden at Pekin, where it I is reserved for medical purposes. The Chinese savans say it is a capital strengthoning medicine. Attempts are making to acclitmatize it in South Africa."

The conditions were twenty-one pairs of birds, $4,000 on the main, $2,000 additional for the odd fight. Solma and Mobile were the contestants, our country cousin carrying away the money, winning twelve figh ts of the twenty-one. Those who are posted estimate that not less than $18,000 changed hands on the fht exclusive of the stake mney.~ .The rules observed were those in forer in New Orleans, and it was a su bject~ of universal remark that throug hout the combat the birds were handled in a, mnanner that would challenge criti 'j cism from the most impartial judges. That the Selma sports feel elated over. their good fortune there is no doubt, as they are "big-winners," some say as mnueh as $10,000.
