C. h DEAR Si : Certain 'of the friends C of the late Dr. ILBorde have suggest- I ed to we to initiate a movement, hav. t Aing for its object the erection of a lonumient over his - gravo, by con tiibutions from those who were as, 11 Oociated with him in different reli. lions in the S.nuth ' Carolina College, from the period of his connection with that institution as professor, in 1832, to the date of his death. A subscription of one dollar, oach, l)y those who were in collego between the periods above montioed, would raise a sum sufliciont* to provide a monument worthy of his illustrious chan racter. I trust it will not be regardod in. vidious wYhen'I say that, amndg aill the distinguished and learned men t who have graced this vonorablo in. i Stitution, no0 one of jheu was more 0 universally este6nod by the students e than Dr. LaBorde. There was a gential kindncss in his manner to wards young men and an unaiffectod C considoration which attracted und o attached them to him. And, besides, It lis irreproachable chatacter and . fertile aid suggestive iitellct con manded their respect. h During my term in college, I do b not remember to have heard an 'Un- p kind word from a fellow-student to- 1 wards him. le was regarded by is all a friend'as well as a oteicher, and I am1 sure that this kindly fooling of ti respect and vcneration has followed I him into his grave, where -lie has n lately gone, afteri a long life -full of honors, with the dities of life faith. fully di icharged, and the high stand ard of a Christaii gcntleman well maintained. c I have taken the lierty of address- Ii ing this communication to you as his colleaguo and friend, and request that )oi make it public, as an initiatory step towards the accomplishiment cf h the Iurposo suggested. it Tcry truly yours, &c., M.

Of'ihis vast amount only 89,218 acres, about one fifth ale included in th'e arable or plow lands, 73,924 acres in inea dows and pastures. The remaining 281,744 acres are in forests, 'repre. senting dead capital. Tho 'whole amount of real estato is nudh de preciated in value. Why is this? Not so much from any real deteriora tion in the quality of the laid Itself, as from the want of means to utilize 'Its wealth g'owing qualities.

Mr. Editor': I have read with great gratification your timely and well-teipered arti olo on immigration in Thursday's NEWS, and desire herewith to add a few reflections upon the same sub ject. I regard, Mr. Editor. the im portation 'of foreign white labor into this State as our last and only hope for political regeneration. The ques tion with us is simply fi'el"yn imlmi gration or nativc; emigration. That is to say, we mut cithor increaso our white l-opulation, or abandon the placo of 6ur nativity altogether. Negro aggression is becoining bolder and bolder every year, and negro domination is fast becoming an unt favorable reality. From the present dutlook the-political cdndition of our State is likely to grow worse as time rolls on, until in a few years more it will be such that no -liberty-lovinng white man can tolerate it. Does it 1ot behodvo us, then, to'do some. thiirg'to avert the tcrriblo 'fate that hangs over us ? Every good citizen will admit that something ought to be done. Why then delay the matterl No farmor has a right to complain of high taxes and hard times generally when he does not make an effort to remove the cause o' his tronbles. No man de.erves any comuiscration for his perplexities and grievanes whlo'iS unlwilling to join ill Ia lioVe Iient that will be fit, most materially the whole Couti(iy. It is a Snare and Lielusioni to tyllose that our lands can anly be worked by free negro labor, and the sooier ou.r f1amers get this 'etion out of their he.tds, the better it will be for then).
