If;Diroot~d Labor.
Tle real pain and distress tlint we t
have felt at soeing falso teachings up 1
on industrial supjects promulgated by ,
A promuin'ent ladicals, Ilogo and
Scott, who have great inltuence with I
our laborers, is unfeigned and great.
To mix theso questions of industry
up with politics, when there are so
many other issues that exist, and still ,
others that can be made, that would o
subservo party purposets as well, and a
even better, is exceedingly unwise,nud N
letour remonstrance hO treated as it j
may by such as Scott and Ilogp, we b
solemlnly aid earnestly remonstrato
and protest against a1 courJse oif con
duct so injurious to tle Stasc. No o
bar should be made, by exciting po- t
liteni aiiiinositics and prejudices, to s
the intelleot wit hin the State improv- t
ing the industry of tho State. [tt is a h
noble and sublime, but an exceedingly t
difficult task, to (cacti even educated I
men, and of the most intellectual 0
raceA, the pra.tical value of science, s,
and the wisdom of always carrying it p
Into art. Why cannot Governor k
Scott, then, who evidently does not t
uiiidetstand the matter,just let (lie sub- i
ject: of labor alonie, and speak on other a
subjects that would elicit even louder a
shouts and Imore nthusiastic yells of
applause from the freodmen ? lie p
should have tact enough, as (oernor, s,
14 aroil controverted topics, which ren- a
der him liablo to the suspicion of be- 1
ing not only a political opponent of t
many citizons of the State, but also 0
their bitter and malicious social cue- i
lily. F1
The industrial contact of tho whito o
race, the heirs of centuries of conflict d
for civil ization, with the black race, p
and their mutual interdependence, at t(
least for thirly years to come, consti- d
tutos the greatest of all of the pies.
ent favorable providential circumnstan. y
ecs that surround the blacks. The I
man who moddles with it, except to a
point out the great advantages of their b
situation, if the blacks will only r
steadily and virtuously improve it, is a
not only a blockhead, whose stupid d
bubblers, if lie is not a hypocrite, will e
all burst into nothing, but lie is also I,
"' lenv of both races. a. viva" hn
we would most willingly crush. 111s t
ignorance is not a sufficient excuse 1
for his mischief-making, for if in high I
position, a good m1an Will avoid mcd- e
dling with mischievous topics, which i
lie is conscious lie has not sti dial, a
and which lie does not compre oud. r
A ruler should be wise on such sub- 1j
jeots, but if unwise, amnd deeply eon
icoious that ho Is ignorant, lhe shouldl f,
at Icast wisely leave them to take care n
of themselves, and to be wisely dealt i
with by other and wiser men. The a
point we above all others make in i
this artiele, is this-this quiestion of a
wages'and labor is a social question, i
and should niot be made a political is- u
sue.
It requires the calmest wisdom of a
sur wisest and best citizens to dis- i
sominato stern truths concerning Ii
wages and labor ; as for example
that patient industry Is necessary, but a
by! itself, often begins, and ends, and' f
ill contInue to end, in hopeless pov-t
erty ; that industry, besides being n
patient, must, be intelligent and skil- i,
ful ; that it must combine -with other
intelligent and skilful industry, and S
consent to firm, unwavering, steady1
skilful and intolligent direction ; and
that, besides all this it must operate 1:
with sufficient capital and with im-t
proved maohinery, else produictlin e
and wages cani not rise ; and that a v
comfortable and even wealthmy labor. m:
ing class- without the observanee of l1
these truths, is impossible, but wItht
their obsorvai-ce, is crtain.
"Iliher wages" depend on noc "ha. t'
bor utilons" of unskilful Il' orers t for r
adanid combin, nothing to nothing jp
as you many, nothing will result, a
"Higher wages," and conmfort, and b
education, -and progress, will not i
come from "small farms" in them- t
selvesq bat, on thme contrary, they o
promIse, at present, to become mere li
voceptacles ef fgnoranco, idleness, t
*'e -povorty and death. Off to a
themsolves, if a wrathful Provideneo f
ever permits tho consummiat ion of r~
tadical wickednias, oeparated from e
and bating their niatural colaborera I
and., conserysatots, the odnoated adi C

how much was taken from the store.
They entered through the side of
the chimney-first having torn away
the brick. Two young men wore
sleeping up stairs at the time, but so
stealthily did these midnight thieves
carry out their plan, that-they wore
not ditscovered. Several pleces of
their old clothing was found along the
road towards Columbia, they having
doffed thelold and donned the now.
It was a bol afOir.

The Southern Cultivator
For October has reaced us. We
can do our planting frienda no greater
service than to call their attention to
this agricultural magnmaine. It is
the leading representative of that
revolution in Southern farming, which
has been inaugurated sine the war,
with such happy results. Its ed itors,
though progrressive, are evidently
cautious men, attaching great 'weight
to experience, as is shown by the large
number of articles Ina every issue,
written by practical farmers in all
the Southern States. Its corps of
contributors is unrivalled. We no.

furnish to new subscribers, the letters

Literature in the South.
All Southern men and wonion witi,

may appear, there prevailsa remarka
blo apathy and indifferenc on the
part of the great mass of the popula

scarcely be accounted for on grounaa
oreditable to Southern character.
The editors of the South, as a body,
have perhaps done what they could to,
dispel this indifforence, and to arouso
the people to the imperative necessity
of fostering native onteo, prise, if they
wish to preserve inviolate the sate I

The Ne w &'etIc MIi3gane, which

years, and with which has recently
boen incorporated The Land lWe Love-,
stands at the head of the list of South

the year, when persons are in the hab

winter, it is especially requested of
the public that they bestow a part at
least of their patronage upon a poe

and which, the Southern and tho
Northern press both being the judges,
is the peer of any magazine published
in Amerion,-both in its literary
standards and the quality and at

After reading this you may as wefl
set aside your traps. The method of
taking mice, which we clip from an
eColango, is so novel that it canno-6
fail to please those who are troubled
by thom :
"11aving on several occasions notic
ed mice in our sead barrels, I be
thought me of some method how I
might trap the little intruders, they
having gained entrance by ea tin1
through the chine. To kill the
with a stick was impracticable, as the
little fellow would invariably escapo
as the lid was raised to any height.
I then thought orsaturating a piece of
cotton with chloroform and throwing
it in, then closing the lid. On ra ising
It again in a few minutea I would fild
that life had almost or quito depart
od. Having on one occasion left the,
piece of Cotton in the barrel, on again
roturning I found three mice with.
their heads in close contact with it,
and dead. In the evening I saturated
another pieco and placed it in the
barrel, and on opening it the next,
morning, to my surprise I found nine
deadl mice."
