l'HE FAIRFIED HERALD WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday Morning, Juno 29, 1g69. Dasportos, Williams & Co., Props J. W. D. ald Negroe Deoadenoe. The;' ry iute'oting communion tion of J. W. D., published on Tues day lat;,b6unds in suggestions with many of which we agree, but cannot be:considered, in any sense, as estab lishing his original proposition, that in. Sqqla Carolina the Nogroo majori ty woul( disappoar in ton years from 1.865, or-as refuting the considerations by: which we cowbatted that pro. posit,in. It'. is quito possible that the Negoo race may decrease in gen -9ral, and yet not .docraso in South (Crolina. J. W.1)). says nothing to that point. Ho does not deny that white inmigration to the State is inall, that white emigration is great, oni that negrooimnigration from the worp Nor thern tier of States is proba blo. Indeed, his argument that the negroos "will slide down to the coast," rather proves that they will also slide down from Virginia, Kentucky, North Oarolina qud Tennessee. . We are also obligod to dissent from J. W. D's 6rgument that the number of deathsAthong the whites being one in 76, and among the blacks, one in 66, proves that the rate of'inoroase is greater among the wbitosthan among the blacks. --1st. The statistics of the .8th consus, from which he gets his fig. uros, do.not distinguish between the inative population nnd the tremendous Immigration of millions of young and , ealthy Eur'peans that arrived in this country during the decade, and to whom the deaths of their. aged and in. 6:m connections in Europe and of the children of 'their families in Europe tihould be credIted, in a discussion of the deatb 'rate of the races. We greatly doubt if the number of deaths in the san)o number of native whites was less than among the blacks. 2adly Suppose it granted ; that would prove nothing until we knew the. comparative number of births. It niy be, that tho'ogh more blacks die in proportion to a given number, more .ohildren may also be born among the ussort bhat see face tw reliable s(atia 1;cs, by wich to prove anything on, ~ subject. 1t U, however, our int press1i, that no aboring class upon -tho face of the earth has ever iocreas ed so fast as the blacks in the 'South It is our imipresijon, that more ohil rdren are' hb among them ; and if 69,the fact that more In a given numn tber die than among the whites, will not'prevent their increasinv an a race 'nhnoh faster.

Thbis is true, hut it includes im migrants. Thme native white increase was but.23 per cent, for we figured it out enrully, and by no moans 23 per cent ini the panrticular State of' South (7aroliria, to which we confined all our rc:narks. There wore, In 1860, one hundred and forty thousand nmativos of South Carolina residing in other 8tatos. WVe must devise seome means 4 of stopping this immenso emigration from our State andl of keeping our young men at honme. Lastly, we arc perfidious enough actually to hold some of the views of . W. D). as to the tendency of emanci pation to extermina.te the negroe iacee, but teiJh mnoderation, es Is our went. T'he very presence of the whites in superior numbers, make us hope tiiatjhis tendency to decadence may ,b ,ronisted by the race, and that when they relapse, the whitos, who need them as laborers, will still keep them up and carr them along,- 'till they can travel for themselves. All precedents here fall. Never 'till now, hafve the Negroc race had such a chance, anid we do entertain hopes that -'they will increase and Improve, of a hite race ofehu-eseeg --and O renosg"oe w tOWor Joe. lrowna.shrewdness isa simple miatter of faotv-4'ebelongs to that 'filk'>f Wme thAt #edr-pifoipAla very elf o'lyolnowege hiven, te'4ve l,omejp two fshes, -aid ever belAey.ii ge4$Iwt eoe, on the-maxim theat b~ ird in the hand is oithi two -in the bush." hen heref,ore, as Chief Justioe of Georgib, Joe Brown decides that negroes can hold office, it means that that much' is % fixed fact, irrevocably Oxed by feder %lbayonets and radical lanacy. But when he simultaneous7 decides, that marriages between negroes and whites ire null and void, and sooial equality, n all of its pretentios phases, illegal nd contrary to the obde of Georgia, t means-what ? Why. It means hat croakers on that,rubjeot, haven't 6ot the sense of Joe Brown. Joe Brown looks to the Unitod States Senate, and knows by what compro. miso tvith whaie men he can got there. [To knows where the latent political power of Georgia resides. And we 3ommend his shrewdness to the eon vmplation of some South Carolinians, who, in view of the numerical pre. lominanco of Blacks in this State, which is likely to continue for many rears, contemplate seriously becoming 'niggers" themselves. Rotten and )lack at heart, they will soon cease to vash the dirt off their faces, or comb cinks out of, their hair, lest they hould be mistaken for white men. To suppose that the whitos of South Jarolina will ever lose their pride of 'a8, 18. THR VERIEST NOVNaXSE that ver entered the brain of a man that mas just looked through the latest good microscope, that is, "who has :sken eight drinks, and then looks hrough a tube, and sees sights, of 3ourse, in abundance." With white iscendency all around, in Georgia, ronnessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Vir ;inia, andl North Carolina, not to mentimi white ascendenoy in those 3tates that have forced universal suf rrage and negroo office-holding upon as, they would be oravens, indeed, if they cannot hold out, 'till the Negroe, lise a mill-stone round the nook, shall silc the Radical party to the bottom Df the over boiling, bubbling, politi )al cauldron of "double toil and trou ble." There is a party come to birth bhis very year, "the laboring man's Party," destined to take possession of the government, by the help of the votes of the Southern whites. We wish our readers to note this predic tion, and to note the rapid growth in the future of the party to which Judge Chase and Senator Sprague have already taken off their hats, and proclamation on the law prescribing eight hours of labor per day to gov ernmnelt omplyvc. Moreuor, th;e Chinese immigration movement is drawing off attention from Cuffee ALREADY. Keep cool, therefore, nervous friend, who don't know exactly whether you are a white man or a "nigger." Wash your face, and comb out your hair. Look at this simple matter of fact, that the negroes are numerically predominant in South Carolina, as calmly as we do. Let politics alone. Make money. Educate your children to work. New Parties Porming. .It is useless fer white men in this State to suppose that carpet-bnggers and acalawags will not continue to hold the. Negroe vote, for they will acl ways bid more for it than respectable and conservative citizens will be will ing to do. We do not, then, antici pate the governmentof the State pass. ing into the hands of its native intel ligent and educated classes, as soon as somne who are much more hopeful on this subject, but far less sound and so ber on the whole question of' the raetcs, than ourselves. Looking at the Jews and the determined manner ini which they have preserved their race and their pride of raco, under centuries of insane persecution and injustice, we cannot suppose that yankee-negroo. domination for several years, will eith.. er milscegenate our race, or destroy our pride, especially, when, in four years, every other Southern State is sure to have a government by whites. WVe do believe, however, that South Carohir'a is isolated, and will feel the rod of oppression more heavily than any other State. We have thought that this would be so for three years, and now we hold it to be an accom pliushed fact. We never run from a fact, but face It squarely. It is not a pleasant. fact. Nevertheless, look at it, say we, and meet it. Is there anything In it to break our spirit ? No. Time will remedy the evil, If natural. forces alone be simply let atone. But beyond this, new measures sanast soon te propQsed, and new par tiessfqrpied, in Federal affairs, and the natural laptitudo of the Southern White nitan for their discussion, will soon be felt again as a power on this continept.. The North will divide, and will court the vote and influiene of the predonr.iant white race In the South, antd the. will Cufre fall baok out of sight, and relief oome even to us in South Carolina. The Radical party now stand on rotten ground. The attempt to make the Alabama claivis a rallying point has failed, and exhibited most plaidly that It must fnd some issue stronger thfn that, or go to pieces. The party is afraid of fetuale suffrage, the logi cal result of its poshtion that political power is a moral right. Meanwhile, "lo ! a cloud like a mnan's hand." "The Reform Leaguo" not in Boston this year, for the first time. Like all ea,rnet movements, it was covered with 'rh1iculo by panny-a liners, who do not soo its signifionnee. But thoso who read the artielo we copied from its organ "To impede im)orts is to impede exports," perhaps may regard it as an event siimilar to the first meet ing of the anti-tlavory society. This year, too, tuet tie "nationwl laboring. man's convention." Soon thi, we may have national question.i which the Southern man, in utter forget kul niess of Cuffoe, will b able to throw himself into with whole-soulod earn estness ; and then, our deliverance will come. [c.-M.MUN I UATD. To Gove nor B. K. Boott. Sin : There is an element in mans nature which makes him cling to whatever enjoys the sanction of age. The people of the State of South Carolinao,huve been taught, by educa tion and example to revere the time honored, hightoned and dignified bearing of the true South Carolina' gentleman. The inst.ituiQn of slave. ry made freedom a kind of rank and privilege, with those who enjoyed it, and although our people havn leen defeated in the late sectional struggle, their spirit is unbrokeni, and their self-respect not lossened. The act of the Legislature for the government of the militia, aims to put the white and colored man into the same command, and thus bring about as far as possible, social egiality. You have, to carry out the intention of the Legislature, appointed a worth less, incompetent negro, to take the census, and enroll the militia of Fair field County-permit me to inform you that the appointment of such a disgraceful wretch to the offico, is adding indignity to injury. and if you value the preservation of peace, you will remove the appointee, and desist. in making such appointments. You were aware of his total, absolute in competency, you made the appoint ment, as you declared, to punish the form you what you siemn, to hi,avo been ignorantwof, "that power anid authori ty are sometimes bought by kindness, but they can never be beggud ns ninjs, by a defeated violence." When the highest power in the State degone. rates into petty tyranny, and mani festly aims to insult the self-respect of the citizen, the people will hrl1.1 such "aecoideinics" as yourself from position, forfeited by petty aid insult. ing indignities of so notorious a olhar noter. You will soon discover that. your authority is not snaficient to force white men to perform militia duty under the command1,nnmd , in the ranks with their tormner subordinates Yu noe never expect tihe scarred veterans of . thme late Confedarato arnmy,-meon who have oendured every hardship and faced every peril anii danger,- men who have followed the leadl of the Iamnented Jenk ins, the chivalrous liamptonm, and such (Genemr ala as liratton, Kershaw and Connor, to permit themselves to be instructed in military tacties by any of your ig norant parasites. ~Ifl you, as the Chief Executive of the State, wibsh to retain your brief authority, you will not attempt toon roll ina the same companies and regi. mients, the whites and blacks. Na ture cries out against it, and the peo ple will not submit to it. Tlhey have endeavored to be silent under the many indignities you have shown thoem ; but they neither can, nor will submit to be placed in the same ranks with the negro. You have repeatedlly declaired, that you will not appoint any man to position who did not vote for such as George Barber, to. represent the County in the State Senate-if such a v'ote is ia sinec gua non, for an appointment, you cannot fmnd a white man in Fairfield, who has the qualifi. cations. You have admitted that you have appointed Johnson to posit io.ms, to gratify your resentment towards the people of this County. It is time for a man in your position, (and you fan. ey you have some ability,) to consider what you may expect from thme ro sentmnent of the people. CONSERVATIVE. [CoMSIaUNIcATP.D.) Mr. Editor: You halve very kindly given me apace in you~r columns twice or more, which makes me a little presumptuous. You wish short and lively pisese. It takes a smart man to give you the for mer, and [ am too seriously in eairnest, to give you one of the lattor. A ew remarks bow on impr'oving the land, and at some future time a few remarks on getting gold for onr cotton, and a little about fences, then you will have my .tekts. Inmigra, tien, Machinery, Tmproving the Land, Gold and a White Man's Govern Tbh 8eutberx farmer's thoughts, embodied in words, would be some thing like this: "Oh Lord I the beau tiful and magnificent forests with their splendid timber, that thou gawest us, we cut down, burned and destroyed; the fertile land we plowed shallow, up and down hill; we gathered heavy Orops dff ofAhem for six or eight years without returning anything thereto ; we ethau8ted the soil; and the heavy rains descended, and not being able to enetrate the hard unbroken sub soUl, betook themselves down the hills, along the furrows, carrying off all vegetable mntter and the scanty loose dirt, and ribbed the hill-sides with many a yawning gully, and impover ished or utterly ruined the land. Why didet thou not give us an inheri tonce that could withstand our des bruntive axes, and consuming fires, and deplorable mismanagenients." And to) add insult to injury, the Yankees caMO along and freed our Little Black GIIds. Now fathers, havu't you fixed this country beautifully for your children ? Instead of us inheriting fields richer than the foro.t land, with improve. nients of every kiud, with brick and stone mausions or cottages, and plenty of timber, we have thousands of piny old fields, with many a deep and rug ged gaish in their sides; a few fresh fields in very little better condition, a patch of original woods here and there, and a few temporary buildings. We undoubtedly shold feel very grateful. In order that we may not be uotisured by future generations, let us go to work to build up our country, and let us start at the very founda tion, the ground. I do not like to censure the plan adopted by our fath ers, but must do it to support the one [ think we should adopt. Their plan, to say the least of it, had a very seri ous and disastrous termination. I am no chemist, and will not un dertake to enter into a learned dis course upon the construction of the soil, and the change produced upon it by different ohemical agents. A few common sense remarks is all that will be attempted; and not because they will be now to you, but that it is ne cessary fur human nature to be kept pushed up. Some wise sages contend that the soil of the Southern States is hostile to any permanent improvement. They are right. It was not intended by Providence that one coat of manure bhould last always no more than that one rain should last for one year. But when we adopt the right plan and go abo'ut it in earnest, nearly every acre of land can be brought to as high a state of fertility as our gardens, and kept at it. Nut by having one thous. and acref to be kept up by two hands ; nor by working eighteen or twenty acres to each hand. Ouo hand ought to t ke six bales of cotton. Thou let him make it on three acres of ground. And two hundred bushels of corn. Then let him make it on four or six acres, according to whether it is bot tom or hill land. "Fool notion," you -NY - V.i1, y1 V.O&I yn.trnat.ion and came to grief, and it is time now to try something else. "1.w will you do it then " By beginning at the bottom, that is on the bottom lands, and fix them so that they will not only not wash away, but will improve every year. "Can it be done ?" Yes I and I intend getting out a patent for the plan. You will then make plen ty of corn to subsist on while you are working to improve the hill sides. Ily this plan of improving the bottom lands, we will be able to raise rice very profitably in the up-country. " Another fool notion." Yes, and doubtless the samne was said when it was first introduced into the lower part of this State by a lady. We export very little of the fat of the land, consequently ought to be able to keep our lands in better fix than the Yankees keep theirs. WVe don't do it though. They make their naturally poor, land rich - we make our riatuirally rich land poor. They build large cities and have splendid improvements of every kind. WVe have a few scattering houses in each District and call thmem a town. They have a white man's government. We a negro government. They are wrong -we are right. Then I want to be wrong. f shall not be tyrannical about any particular plan for improving the land. Le[t each one study the nature of the soil of his own land, and adopt the plan beat suited to the land and his ability of carrying it out. If one thinks best to broadcast the manure and plow it in, let him adopt it. If another thinks best to plant peas or sonmc small grain and plow the crop under, lot him do it. If we go to Nature we will learn from one of IIer insects when to put the manure. It might not be a bad plan to put some deep and some shallow. Why not run a deep furrow in the cotton mid dles in early winter and frail down the cotton stalks in it and lap on thema, and let them decay by the time the next crop will need the same sub stances? To be able to do that, the crop must b,e gathered early, and to be able to gather early the crop must be highly manured in order to make it mature rapidly. Another advantage will be that all the cotton will be white, and you will not have to pun ish your hands by having them out in the cold winter days standing shiver ing over a few lightwood knots, cast ing wistful glanoes at the boils of cot.. ton wishing no doubt that the cotton would leave the hulls and place itself in their baskets. Rotate crops-Do not keep the soil clear of fibrous roots too long, which will be the oase when planted In cot. ton for sever.l fears in succession,.. and two tauohf the top soil ill wash aways, especially If the roirs' are run up and down the hills, or if there are any ditches on the hill -sides. Run the rows so that the land will wash the least. Plow every furrow well, and always leave the ground in as good a fix as possil to receive heavy rains. Plant less and work it the more. IL la not nbematy that the grass and weeds shonld be al ler then ground before plowing. It is easier to kill the grass just beforq it comes out of the ground, and there is no doubt but, that the work will be easi er on horse and man, and be of great er advantage to the crops. Make all the manure possible on the place, without impoverishing the forests by hauling away the leaves and trash. Cut brush and throw in gullys, top up stream, and let briars and plum bushes come up, and they will not only aid in stopping the wash, but will at the same time furnish you with very delicious fruit, (but we cannot think anything delioious until the Yankees fix them up in tin cans and send thom to us. Even our half ripe peaches that we sell to the North for three dollars per bushal, are very delicious when sent back to us in one dollar cans.) Farmerb I you need not be afraid of not having enough land after selling off half or more to honest, industrious and peaceable white men. You must not forget that the negroes ore free, and that their increase does not neces Litate the purchase of more land for them. DP not try to see how much land you can u over and ruin in a year, but try to make the most off of the least, and to leave the ground in a better fix f-)r another crop. If you cannot keep one thousand acres in asgood fix as a garden with ten hands or all you can hire, don't say it cannot be done, but let those have it who can prove to you beyond a doubt that it can be done. And I will guarantee that in less than ten years we will have a white man's government, plen ty of of carpenters, masons, black smith6, shoemakers, and mechanics and workmen of every kind. Then it will not be necessary to send six or eight miles to have your plows burn ed, up by some leatherbead cobbler nor be scarce of house room for the want of oarpenters-nor put to incon veiences on account of not having a mason to put up a chimney, as is my case now. Not feeling able to im prove all the land I own, Ititle as it is, I am anxious to get some white for. eigners to help me. Who will go one hundred dollars next Fall for the purpose of bringing in white immi grants? Come out boldly, and don't offer your lands that are covered with liens to twice their value. Let us see who prefers a white man's government to a negroe's. Respectfully, EX. Orops in the State.
