If, as is probable, the liepublicane have carried thiity-ono districts and Lhe Liberals twenty, and this propor. lioni hld as to the Jlouse, the latter would stand ninety-three Republia ans to sixty Liberals.

WINNSBOR O. Wednesday Morning, Nov. 20, 1872. T1. ROSS AOBEMTSON, Editor. my Correspodience solicited from every se cition of the Country. Our columns ire open to all for a free diiscussiou of any principle, theory or idea, but we are in no way responsible for (ie views or opiniis of cniresooifients Our Duty and Policy. The result of the late Presidential olection places the Southern peoplo in an exceedingly embarrassing position, and they need all wisdon and pru doneo to steer safely through the po litical breakers by which they are now surrounded. 'their situation is embarrassing from various eause.s, tho nature of whioh is known to us all. The defeat of Grooley may have tho tondoncY to place the S.,tth in a falso position, inasnuch as ho received his entire support from this seetion of the Un ioni, while lhe proved di.tasteful to the Nort hern palate. But when it is rem iebred that his acceptance by the Sou I was looked upon as a peaco meicasure, and as an ini ation that her people wore ready "to clasp hands acro.,s the Llordy chasm," her courso cannot :. r wher than patriotic, and we U,,Leve that future historians will so record it. G(rant's re election bieing 1o.v a reality, it becomes us to consult to. gether as to what duty denands of us under the ci rcunt nens, and as to what policy a wise ap Ipreciation of the situation suggests to us, to pursue. ll t lirr (1t pin.10 wo 141114t, view things il their l pi r ight , and uist n t s-t or eyes t real i i es.

Wc arc compelled to adopt this couirse beoauso t hero is no alter native, and because it is dicmatcd by good sense. The masjority of the citizens1 of the 'iiited Sta1tes regard these amendments as fixed parts of fundamneiit al law of the land, and it is the height of folly for the South to conltinueo to iigi tate them'n. An y at temipt to intem fe with their opera tion, by any portion of our peopile, suibjects us to the sevorities of the law, and if general, would lead to a rev oluti on. TPh i weo ario not. pre pasrod f ,r, aid if we were, our fato in the end wlouldh be too horrible to contemplate. We are a Bubd uod, 0oppresftod sect ion, and must remain so, unt il a sense of jmust ico returns to h0 heairts of our rulers. Noicr wvill our imidfortutnes ever grow lessI nor our burdens dimnin ish until we tree nursel yes from that spirit of dle pendenece that has al ways been our eamrse. We nimst teacha ourselvo s to de'uiId mnore on cur OWLn exertionis aind resoures, and must go to work ol 1.ld up our wasto places, and de velip those troasures that lie dormaut beneathL our sunny soil. Our coondi. tion will never improve unt il we roil ize the fact that we must act indo pendenthy of the Northi. Wo mouist bring ourselves to believe also that our so-called brethren of the North have no love ^us further than that wo contributeo somewthaut to their imoney-nmaking, aknd to their facilities for enriching theiuselves. WVe wore loth at one time to credit this, but recent events have forced us to such a concl usiin. Our policy is then to accept the situation as sometlhing that cant bo avoided. At. the same time, we mu st remain t rue to our principles and1( our heritage. We arc at the mercry of a crrupt and unscrupulous party, iind ounr honor is all that isf xft u.s to pie ervo and( proteet.

One Crumb of Comfort, The result of the late oleotion, sayl the Carolinian, was a ortishing de(eat to the Movement for reconoiliatior and reform. Grant has been re-eject oil by a majority, pfobably twigo aI largo a.; the ono be epiiyr! in .1868, But though we failed wretchedly if our ciforts to work a saluthry chang) in the general government, there isi the redemption of Lutiisiana frow carpet-bsg misrule mnuoh which shoulI be a source ot considerable solace t( every Southern heart. We presum4 that there is no reason to doubt nov the authentioity of the reports which have been undenied, that the Conser. vative State ticket has been eleoted by several thousand majority. Thi State has been wrested from the hands of the Kellogg Custom House clique and turned over to the proper oharg< of her own honorabie, efficient and pa triotie citizens. Louisiana like South Carolina ha boon the prey of plundering politios adventurers, from the time of th4 re-organization of the State, unde1 the reconstruction laws of Cong-es till now. Reckless extravagance gross vounlity, wholesale corruption and an utter disregard of the true in terests of the commonwealth, hav there as hero cbaracterizd the rul( of the apostate native, the unsorupu lous foreigner and the ignorant negr< combined. The State will now doubtless, take a btund forward or the path of material progress and de volopment, such as she has never be fore experienced, even in the palrm days Lung Syno. There is no earthly reason whiol we can discover, why every Sou.hert State should rapidly recuperate aud soon repair the ravages of the war provided, only measurable honesty ability atnd economy can be secured it the management of their local govern monts. The greatly improved condi tion of those which have been able t< burst the coils of oarpet-bagism wbiol bound then all for awhile, furnishei ample testimony to the truth of'thi proposition. It it wore not for the disordere< state of society here, and particularl, the fear of intolerable taxation boti of which are inoidents of our ino, in potent and corrupt governnients, ni abundanceo of Northern capital wohli unquestionably flow in this directioi where its profitn arc so much large than at the Noith. There is one fao connected with the disenthralmont o Liouisiana, which is cheerful food fo reflection to us of South Carolion Th'lere is a n:aj.)rity <f colored vote in Louisiana just as hero, not so larg indeedl, b'ut then there are thousand of white Radioals in that State, whil wo have only a few hundred. T~h colored people must therefore hav combined in large numbers, or ele the Conservative tiokcet would no have the ghost of a chance. We cannot see that our situato1 here is more doleful, or our prospoo of delivery from tho curie of ba, Government more gloomy, than wa that of Louisiana up to this time Our white people are cortainly not les true in their devotion to our State and our colored people as a olass we think aiec far superior in intelligence docility and tractablenoess to those o Louisiana. What has been - dom there can surely be accomplisher hore, if the same prudent counsel dl roots, and the same haoppful energj gives impulse t~o our offorts. Wa shall have to depend entirely upot ourselves for any politieal reformnatioi which we may desire to see c(Teoted in our Stat e. We should at all eventi akeli the trial, and aot if such wer< the case. Party Organisations --Their Present an Future Status. Thelr smoke has cleared away suff cienatly freom the late P'residentia batt le-Iiold to note the present sitatj. cf the forces that, joined in Thal memorable struggle. To locate er aotly the positions now occuplod b3 the political parties which have huith erto opposed each other in this coun try is an interesting undertaking, and is by no moons an eaey task. Fora long time prior to tao reoent strug gle for the Presidency the votihg masses were divided into two groal political organizations, with Demoera cy and Rtepublicanibim as their dis tinctivo tenets. But the result oi the contest between Oranit and Greo. ley proves that these party lines -have diverged considerably, and there Is a strong probability that another pow. erful party is likely ore Jor'g to spripg into existence, which, ini its formeationl will absorb the best elements of all other parties. rho old Demoocratio narty is a thins o ate jn iniso far a. nati al pol1tics 'te concerned. It oom itted . iWide when it accepted He e (r ley as its standard-bear 4r." Ve approved of the act, because we thought 9lreumstances demanded It. The condition of the coun'ry re quired its sacrifice, and we hoped to see good come out of it. We have been disappointed, but we sincerely believe that the country will yet en joy hei fruits of the Cincinnati move nient. -it was originated by good 1 emen, and was conceived in the inter. eats of peace and teform. But de velopments shw that a fatal mistake was made in the selection of the man who should be put before the country as the true exponent of its principles. This mistake closed up every avenue of success, and made the triumph of Radicalism only a question of time. It is very clear, too, that Mr. Greo ley's candidature was anore distaste ful to Grant's opponents in the North and West than at first appeared. The election returns from those see tions of the Union indicate that a grteat many Liberals and Democrats Other abstained from voting altogeth. er,.or voted for Grant as the lesser of the two evils. From this we nay conlude that both the Libetal and Democratic parties were divided be. tween Greeley and Grant. In other words the opposition to Grant could aot unite on.Greeley. The liational Republican party is dertainly in progress of disintegration. Many of its fortor leaders have cut looso from it, and it will soon give way to that iri-esistible uprising of Conservatism, which will before tuany months sweep over the land like a whirlwind. Gon. Grant's re election may for a brief period bolster up the declining fortunes of Radioalism, but its doom ii already settled, When the political lines are again drawn, there will be arrayed against it a solid phalanx of men, knowing no past party affiliations, but. banded together to save the Republie from destruction, and the nation from disgrace. Republicans and Demo. crate will yet be seen working togeth. or in a common cause, and for the good of the whole people. Speech of President Woodward before the Agricultural and Mechanical As. sociation of South Carolina. Upon being-oonducted to the chair by Messrs. 1uhvjor, Felder and Gary, Major Woodward, tendered his thanls in the following brief but ex pressive charactea istIc qpeech : I am very prond, gentlemen, of the high 'bonor th-at you have cmnferred upon me. I regard it the most en viabld position to which an honest t man date now aspire in South ('aro. i lina. I am well aware, however, that r these honors are duo to no merit or sure you that they are eve, the moreS Sappreciated when I say that in my S opinion they are the result only of a the hindly personal feelings of the a members of the Society towards me. And,bhene it is that I nssume the du ties of your . presiding oflicer, not a .without feelings of hesitancy, for I I well knew that there has never been t. a time in the history of the affairs of this Society, when greater wisdom and mere general business tact and energy,w wore demanded of its ofiicers. 6 There is within me however, a spirit, I a prnioiple, which forbids that I a should evade any responsibility devolved upon me by Carolina ' gentlemen ; and if tinme develops as I fear it will, that I am not the mian for the place,-'pon your shouldera rests the responsibility, for I can truthfully declare that I have ~evinced no ambition in this matter. Many and grave difficulties surround us, it is true. Our financial affairs as iyou all know are in a critical condi tion, The signs of the times, I am sorry to say indicate that we have enemies-jealous of our success, en. vipus of our gentility. The ,Oovernment under which we Jive, has jso far shown only an inclination to retard agriculture, to plunder agriculturalists. Bu~t de spite all these difficulties, under the leadership of Carolina's own distini. gni'bed son ;-mzy courteous,ecult iva I ed and practical predecossor, much very tzuch has been accomplished. Why not then, taking heart by the past and hopiog for bettor things uin drtefir promtises of the recently elected State aduministration, but re lying~r solely upon our oton energies, push forward the consummation of thiu Igreat apd glorious work so auspieious ly biegon. TIhero are other and dear er Issues Involved in our existence than dollars and cente. With our fall goes down theo last lingering, visi ble vostigo of Carolina's gloiions ante b.ellumn institutions ; vanishes her only emblem of civIiition. With out- failuro departs for a season at least, those inducements that call us together isi this noble old City, samdly cheanged it Is true, but still the belov jed Mecca to which Carolina's sons an d daughters are wont to make their yearly pilgriidage, and enjoy that sweet communion with each other, so elevailg to our natures, so purifyinig to our souls, and to obtain that temn. 1 orary oblivion of our distress so solkolsig to us in our advesity. In doderments then are not wanting for continued and renewed energies. For myhdlf I will say this, having boon honored by yone confidence as I have been, and aided by the counsels of wise Inen upon my EzeootLve Com. mittee, with I believe the best and most indefatigable Secretary in the State, and relying upon those gener. ons exertions that have ever ebarac terized you, I shall, sumnmoning what ever of judgment and energy I am ja pable of bringing to bear, bolily un furl our industrial banner, and con fidently invoke for us that success that I am sure awaits the proper ex penditure of energy. Lucerne. Is it not wonderful how our South. ern planters, even those who try to raise their own provisions and are as much opposed as you are to buying Northern hay to food their stock, cannot be persuaded to grow lucerne, which, in my opinion, is the most valuable forage crop there is ? A few try a little millet, a few-the number is happily increasing-have a clover patch ; but the main depend once to feed the stock is fodder, which is by far the most expensive long stook feed we raise. Scarenly any one raises lucerne, which, if sown with ordinary care on well pre pared, clean land, will yield two or three heavy cuttings of excellent hay the first year and Jour or live every year for five or six years, without any labor except the cutting and an ocea sional top dressing in the fall. Muelh as I admire clover I think lucerne is preferable for forage. The yield is larger, it does not salivate stock as second growth of clover will ; it is a better milk prod ucing food, and ill sorts of stock like it. clite as well as they do clover. As ihe time is now at hand when luecrre sh''uld be sown, I I ask a pInec in your columns to -urge its value upon your readers, and to give a few hints as to its cultieic. The best land for lucerne is that which has been in corn, and well cul tivated so as to be clear of weeds and grabs. The richer the land, whether naturally or attiticially, the better. There is no usc in sowing lucerteo on poor, thin land. It will not p-Iv. The land Imuit be dleeiply broke, we-l hubsoiled, thoroughly pul verized, and made pertectly clean. A deep, pir. ons seed-led is eseintial. .A libe.ral surface dressing of lime betre pl w ing corn land will be fo:unid to Ie profitable, and if the lanild Ie I't vIe r rich, it cannot b1" to) heivil.. . nutred. I would sow in drills tVent v ii -he, apart in the first oI. third wectk of October. I rccomeinil the r ill sou ing because it, enaid s you to keep the '(op (ite clean of weeds 1111d grass during the eatly stages (f its gi-owth. After 't becomes estiblished it will soon take entire posses-ion and hold its own ngainst all in trud ers. If sown in October the young piais tre cufliciently strong before severe frost to be olt of Ill dangri of winter killing. Eight or ten liotls of good seed, purohnused fron a se(ed sman t who cha be relied on, ire pleinty to sow one acre. It not h rtetnberd that lucerno will not do for pittre. It u-', 0 Iy be ised for t-oiling, tu is, out and feed gr.c' to t hestick, or for hay to ie cur-ed 1iv ciover.
