from States ruled by thieves and cut-throats, who know no means of getting their bread except by robbing their neighbors." After regrets at his inability to be present, William Lloyd Garrison wrote in the following ridiculous strain: "The spectacle of thousands of half naked, empty-handed, despairing men, women and children fleeing as for their lives from one part of the country to another, preferring to risk starvation and death by the way rather thau remain where they naturally belong, is V one calculated to move pitying Heaven and to awaken all that is sympathetic and generous in the human breast Their claims for immediate charitable relief are equally just Tn thoaA Southern States ! BUU liupviauin <u ?uww conspiracy and usurpation successfully bear sway. In all the late Rebel States there scarcely exists a single legitimate State administration ; for no election has been permitted without being controlled more or less by fraud, intimidation and lawlessness. It is clear that the battle of liberty and equal ^ rights is to be fought over again, not in a party sense in the ordinary use of that terra, but by the uprising and consolidating of a loyal, freedom-loving North, overwhelming in numbers, determined in purpose, invincible in action, aud supreme in patriotism, based upon impartial justice and an all embracing citizenship. While therefore grave, exciting and relatively important as the present exodus of a few thousands of colored refugees from Mississippi and Louisiana may be, it is only an incident of the hour, demanding succor and aid in various forms, until they have time to select their dwelling-places. But what of the four millions of colored people in the entire South ? Their exilement is a question not to be seriously entertained for a moment, either as a desirable or possible event. - The American government is but a mockery and deserves to be overthrown, if they are to be left without protection as sheep in the midst of wolves. Let the edict go forth, t.riimnnt.tnnpued. that there shall be a speedy eud put to all this bloody misrule; and let the rallying cry be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast: "Liberty and equal rights for each, for all, and forever, wherever the lot of man is cast, within our broad domains." On the following day a similar meeting was held in Boston, at which ex-Secretary ^ Boutwell made the principal speech. Like other speakers at similar meetings, he sought to give the matter a political turn. He de clared, amongst other things that "henceforward the policy of the Republican party must be distinct, courageous and aggressive," a declaration which was received with great applause, and when a voice called out from the floor, "that's the doctrine," the demonstration was repeated. It is added in a dispatch to the New York Timet, that the mention of Gen. Giant's name was "the signal always for prompt and hearty applause." The dispatch ^ fails to state, however, whether or not a dollar was subscribed for the destitute colored ' people in Kansas. <? ? Correspondence of the Yorlcville Enquirer. LETTER FROM BLACK'S STATION. Black's Station, 8. C., April 28. . There is very little business going on in our town at present, except in the sale of guano. Wagons are constantly loading with it, not withstanding the farmers of our section held a meeting early in the Spring and pledged themselves not to buy, unless the cotton op4-~ ? ""? tvMimlif d/surn tr? that ftf laflt. Vflar fciUll Tf 00 Ul VU^UM uvnu w ?mm? w. ^ ww.t *?,- which plan was generally accepted by the farmers in preference to a money obligation. This year our farmers have bought commer* cial fertilizers in excess of any previous year. The propriety of buying fertilizers so universally, and* in such large quantities, is a question that only time can solve. A properthinking man can foresee the result. It will require time to take the farmer out of the groove he is now in. He applies the fertilizer on only one crop?that of cotton. He can make the estimate from the price of the staple and answer the question whether or not he makes any money clear. The exports -"**** of the United States for the last year are 8200,000,000 over the imports. Some sections have been benefitted to that extent, but it has not been the South, as she is always destitute of money. The North must have it, as she has produced her necessaries at home and is not indebted abroad. They alone have the benefit of this immense income. We must become more of an agricultural people than strictly planters and manufacturers of raw material. The killing of the fruit in this section by frost will prove a serious disaster to our peopie, as they have generally taken great pains to "cultivate the best varieties of fruit Some of their orchards amount to several acres. W. C. Black, Esq., has an orchard of 10 acres of assorted varieties. Dr. G. H. Heatwoule has 4 acres of the best fruits. He has also in cultivation several tea plants, sent him by Commissioner LeDuc, to which he is paying especial attention. The wheat and oat crops are looking very fine and promise a good crop, if no disaster befalls them. Several horses have died in this section, within the last few days, from what was supposed to be blind staggers. Cannot sqme ^ veterinary surgeon give a remedy for this fearful disease? Mr. James Childers, living near here, recently had a chicken hatched with four legs. The extra legs grew, one from under the left wing and the other from the left side of the left leg. The chicken died soon after being -* hatched. The blacksmith shop of J. M. BiggerstafF, the boot and shoe shop of Z. P. Moore, and the barber shop of Albert Deadman, are the late enterprises just opened in our town. The ^ new hotel, in course of construction nsar the depot, will soon be completed. It will be of good size, and ample for the accomraoaP a Iov/va nnmKnr aP amoqIq uatiuu UI ? JtfrlgV? uvj&uisvi v* guvovo. Mr. John Moor? has recently ordered a reaper and binder for his farm. Ego. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, S. C., April 29, 1879. The present prospect for finishing the Cheraw and Chester Railroad to Lancaster, at an - early day, is very promising. President Hardin finds ready sale for the first mortgage bonds of the road, having sold, recently, 829,000 worth, the greater amount of which was taken in Chester county. A large force of hands is now at work on Fishing creek bridge, and when it is completed, which it is thought will be by the 1st of July, they will immediately commence work on the Catawba river bridge. During the past week there has been a series of interesting meetings conducted at the Presbyterian church, by the pastor, Rev. G. A. Trenholm, assisted by Revs. E. Brantly aud Douglass Harrison. On Saturday, the j venerable W. S. Plumer, D. D., arrived from i Columbia and. preached that night* Again on Sunday, he delivered an able sermon from Isaiah xl: 1, after which the Lord's Supper was administered to a large portion of the congregation. On to morrow night the Sons of Temperance will have a public meeting in the Court House. The Chester Division will be joined .x by Fidelity Division, of this county, and the public generally are invited to attend. An address on the subject of temperance will be delivered by Judge Mackey. Mr. G. H. Brennecke has been unfortunate recently. About a week ago, his horse, on entering the stable, struck his head against the door facing, fracturing the skull, and rendering it useless probably for some time. Mr. Brennecke then procured a horse from the livery stable, and on Friday last, while standing hitched to the wagon in front of the express office, it took fright and ran off, breaking the wagon all to pieces. This is quite a loss to Mr. B., and the community sympathise with him. On Sunday last, Mrs. G. W. Melton's carriage horses took fright, while she was on the way to church, and upset the carriage. Fortunately the lady was only slightly hurt, and but little damage otherwise was done. Last night, at Mr. M. S. Hardin's plantation, on Broad river, in this county, a difficulty arose between George Carter and Perry Hughes, both colored, in regard to a fishbasket. In the altercation Hughes was stab bed in the temple, from the effects of which he died in a few hours. Carter was arrested and is now in jail. A fishing party went to Catawba Falls last week, among them oar friends, R. M. Cross and H. W. Haffner. They caught a good supply of fish, which they liberally shared with their friends on their return. Besides other adventures on the excursion, they saw countless numbers of snakes. This is regarded as strange, as Mr. Cross is a strict Son of Temperance, and the oldest inhabitants say they have not "seen snakes" there in many years. Perhaps the bait was magnified to such proportions as to resemble sqakes. The Lee Light Infantry paraded last Friday. Their epaulets are a decided improvement to their uniforms, and the men made a soldierly display, executing several manoeuvres under command of Lieut. M. H. Hunter. Dr. J. J. Stringfellow has been having some huge rocks in his lot blasted out, and the reports remind us of the reverberations of Judge Mackey's little cannon in the Hampton days. The young man, Johnston Crosby, who was accidentally shot a few days ago, died from the wound last Friday. Mr. R. H. Cousar's new residence on Pinkney street is nearly completed, and will be a handsome building. . Mr. George Culp is also erecting a neat cottage near the residence of Judge of Probate G. W. Curtis. Our merchants have received their Spring stocks of goods and seem to be doing a good business, notwithstanding the busy time with the farmers. About 200 bales of cotton were sold last week, some commanding 11 cents per pound. Chester. * It frequently happens that severe pain is very greatly relieved by thorough purgation.
