THE GOVERffOB'S MESSAGE. As some- of the most interesting por? tions of this document did not appear last ?week?owing to-the defective manner in which it was published by the daily pa? pers?vre append such passages as are.most worthy of perusalt JTJBIBS. A change is demanded in the system of selecting j uries. As at present managed, jfc ia liable, and perverted, to great abuse, on account of the character of the per? sons placed upon, them Men- have been appointed on Grand and Peti? juries who were at the time, and are now, ander heayy bail on charges of complicity with murder;, and in one case, when one of . these accused individuals was foreman ef the Grand* Jury, bills for murder sub? mitted to tbem by the Solicitor of the Circuit were ignored and thrown'out,, notwithstanding the oaths of: witnesses' who identified the accused as participants in the murder. Cases are- decided, not the guilt or innocence of parties, but in accordance with the political bias of the juries; and, from the intensity of pre? judice existing, it is Vain to expect a bet? ter condition of things while the present system of drawing juries continues. This corruption of jnstice at the fountain head demands a prompt, and efficient remedy,, which will place the jury box above the influence of politics, and fill it .with our beat and" most intelligent citfzehs, whose reputation places them above reproach and above suspicion. MAGISTRATES COURTS; I hare heretofore directed your atten? tion to the subject of Magistrates'Courts, aud 'would urgently renew my recommen? dations on the subject. The wide latitude heretofore given to the discretion of Mag? istrates-and Courts has had the effect to ero wd our jails with petty/ oSenders, at a heavy expense to the State, much of which could be avoided by giving final juriediction to Magistrates' Courts^ with right of appeal, of all minor offences, such as petit larceny, simple- assault and batte? ry, and other misdemeanors ot similar grade, with power to determine the ques? tion of guilt, *n(l its extent, and to inflict penalties by tine. This would obviate the necessity of a good deal of Sessions busi? ness, ami the cost of witnesses'" fees mid* expenses. A fair and reasonable fee bill - should be established, as there is much complaint that Magistrates and Constables are guilty of making extortionate exac? tions from the poor and ignorant. Many cases have been so manipulated as to in? volve the largest amount of costs, and others again have been instituted for ma? licious purposes, frequently from political motives or political objects. When such cases have been substantiated, I have promptly removed the offenders, and many of them, in my opinion, deserved a more rigorous punishment. I have been apprised of cases where Magistrates have attempted to interfere with the State Constables while in the discharge of their duty, and recommend that adequate pun? ishments be provided for such offences. Severe penalties should also be provided for carrying concealed deadly weapons, a cowardly practice, which has become en? tirely too prevalent. AGRICULTURE. The agriculture of the State is the fun? damental basis of its prosperity, and yet not one fourth of its soil has been brought uuder cultivation, and so little of labor and skill have been devoted to it, that were it not among the most favored re? gions of the earth, the heedless and care? less system of tillage to which it has been subjected, would long since have exhaust? ed it. And yet in no department of hu? man industry can skilled labor be made more available, or a larger or more varied circle of scientific acquirements be more thoroughly and profitably utilized, than ? agriculture; and in no locality is-there a more extensive or a more inviting field for their exercise than in South Carolina. The loss resulting aurually to the State from the practice of an unskilled and careless system ef husbandry, instead of one that is intelligent and energetic, is hardly to be estimated. Of the nineteen or twenty millions of acres comprised within our limits, about one-fourth are devoted to cultivation,,the rest is in woods of valuable timber, and in unreclaimed swamp, easily drained, and of inexhausti? ble fertility. In 1867 there were devoted to farm pro ducts 716,041 acres of corn, ?45,654 acres to. wheat, 70,900 acres to oats, 77,000 a*cres to hay, 9,835 to rye, 1,166 to barley, 1,890 to Irish potatoes,, and 200 to tobacco. Of the balance, the greater portion was de? voted to the great commercial staples of cotton and rice. The average yield* per acre was officially reported as nine and rfx-tenths bushels <?[ com; wheat, Bix bushels and four tenths j oois, eh veil bushels and one tenth ; rye, fjve bnshels and seven-tenths; barley, eleven bushels and one tenth ; Irish potatoes, eighty bushels ami four tenths; tobacco, "five hundred pounds^ and of hay, one ton. When it is recollected that it has been demonstrated by actual experiment and r??e<v*u.rement, in the vicinity ot the city of Columbia, that with high culture, and under favorable circumstances, it is prac ticable to produce two hundred bushels and. twelve quarts of corn from a single a?ore of laud ; and that with ordinary in? telligence and iudustry., twenty bnshels of wheai, ryev or- oats.; thirty-five of barley, and one hundred bushels of Irish- pota? toes, are readily produced to the acre, the contrast between what i?, and what ought to be, the agricultural products of thi? State, is alike surprising and. mortifying, and demonstrates emphatically she neces? sity of a radical change; and to this we are still further impelled by the inexora? ble logic of events.?in the change'd con dition of ciremittances by wkit-h we are surrounded; in the thorough and sweep* i)ig revolution in our system of labor^ en? forcing the Divine- edjet,as beneficent as it is just, that man sitaU ea* breed by the sweat of hi* own face, and not by thatrof his fellow-man, ami by the resistless tide of intellectual activity and effort every where surrounding u*, to? take our- place in the march of material progress, and by calling science to> tike- aid of labor, blend? ing brain ami muscle- in, harmonious co? operation, build ud. the fallen, fortunes of our beloved-State, make her waste -places to bloom, and .blossom as the rose, and fa? cilitate and ha&ten her attainment of a prosperity and happiness more exalted, more general, and more permanent, than has ever been witnessed within her bor? ders. That the Legislature will cheerful? ly cooperate in all legitimate efforts to bring about this desirable result?the im? provement of our agriculture?I cannot permit myself to doubt. The formation of societies of practical farmers, meeting together periodically, to communicate and contrast the results of their ex perience and experiments, adds the additional stimulus Jof emulation to efforts of improvement and excellence. I would suggest that an appropriation be made, to be apportioned among the different Counties which may raise an equivalent sum, to be distributed as premiums to those who may excel in the different branches of their profession, but particularly in the deep and thorough breaking up and pulverization of the soil, which is of primary importance, and to the neglect of which much of our waste of labor and of land may be attributed. The substitution of thorough tillage for the superficial scraping and scratching of the soil now so generally practiced, is the first step to improvement and success, and this truth cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the minds of the farmers, and espe? cially of those who, have but recently become proprietors or occupants of land on their own account. This will make many an acre -now thrown out as "old fields'^productive and valuable, and ena? ble the thrifty and industrious farmer to procure homes at a comparatively small expense, the products of which will con? tribute materially to the support of their families. Some legislation seems to be necessaryTor the prevention et the burn? ing" of the woods, a practice not only dan? gerous in itself, and' injurious to timber, fencing and the soil, but largely responsi? ble for noticeable changes in our climate, for the increased lateness and severity of seasons, and' foi the bug and exhausting droughts, whicn are yearly becoming more disastrous. History, both ancient and modern, contains many examples of the pernicious results of denuding a coun? try of its timber; and by men of intelli' gence it has been deemed that the too general felling of the woods is the most destructive among the many causes of the physical deterioration of the earth. Its mischievous effects in our own section are already observable, not only m our pro? tracted droughts and late spring frosts, and in the washing out of the soluble portion of our soil, but in the drying np of springs and rivulets, and the destruc? tion oi o?rr upland pastures, many of which during the summer months afford neither water nor herbage for cattle. In the State of Iowa the planting of trees is en? couraged by a law by which the farmer is released from taxation for ten years on one hundred dollars valuation for every acre of forest trees planted ; and> for each acre of fruit trees planted from a taxation \ of fifty dollars valuation for five years ; J and a similar provision for fruit trees and 1 ic-dges aloug the highways. Sheep husbandry is an important source of wealth to the farmer,, for which, we have many facilities and advantages. The principal obstacle to its successful pursuit! is the multitude of dogs by which many neighborhoods are infested. It may be well to inquire whether the numbers of these pestilent curs may not be advanta? geously diminished by holding their own? ers to a strict accountability for the offen? ces and depredations committed by them; and, as there is seldom necessity tor more than one about a dwelling, a salutary in? fluence may be exercised by imposing a dis? criminating tax on all above that number, increasing the ratio of taxation with each additional dog; thus, for a second dog in a family, two dollars; for a third, three dollars; and so proportionately. This vould have a tendency to reduce the number of dogs, and to economize the amount of food now wasted on them, while it would enable the breeders of sheep to increase the numbers of that valuable animal, and thus to substitute producers of food and clothing for con? sumers and destroyers of both. TUE RIVER FISHERIES. As a valuable adjunct to agriculture in the production of food, I deem it my du? ty to call your attention to the impor? tance of adopting mcusures lor the resto? ration of our river fisheries. It is within the recollection of many when the Savan? nah, the Santee and the Pee Dee, and their numerous tributaries, yielded annu? ally a generous tribute of savory and nu? tritious food from tho swarming fisherios along their shores, und when shad were sold in Columbia market at twenty for a dollar. Now they are seldom seen unless brought from a drstanee, and are sold at ten titUcs the former prices, placing them beyond the means of the poor, to whom thej' wore an every day article of cheap -and wholesome food, and limiting them, as a luxury, to tho rich. From the great? er number of our rivers the}' are com? pletely banished. Of the trufeb of this statement, and of the cause of it, I quote the following testimony of a highly in? telligent and influential gentlemen, "who has creditably served the country both in our State and National Councils. In re? ply to a circular 1 had caused to be issued, ho remarks: "1 cannot say when the shad were stopped trom < oming up tho Saluda, but 1 think it may bo dated when the factory dam was built across the rivor, near its month. Previous to that time, and as far back as my memory goes, shad were caught in great numbers in that river. I remember well when I was a lad, my fa? ther, who lived in Laurens District, some ten miles distant from Island Ford, was yearly in the- haJwh oi sending a wagon to that place for shad, and always return? ed with a full supply to lust the family until even tho children no longer consid? ered them a rarity. Many other famrKos did the same ivwxt both sides of tho river; and this was only one of many such shad fisheries'on that river. Now, for thirty. Oiio years back, when I can particularly remember, not a single shad has been j ?aught from, the Saluda ; they have been j totality shut out. by that selfish dam," I Many siiwifttir communications have I been received fron* other sources, demon [ strating conclusively that the banishment j of the shad and other migratory fishes liom tho upper waters of tho State, and I the consequent deprivation of tho people of a large amount of nutritious and pal i ?table food, is altogether attributable to ? tho numerous dams that have been con? structed in the rivers and streams, by which they are completely barricaded against the passage offish, and this in violation of law, which requires that all dams shall be furnished with fish ways at least sixty feet wide to enable fish to pass up to tbeir spawning ground. Below the dams, an unceasing warefare is waged against them by the owners of weirs, trups, neU and seines, during breeding season, as if their extirpation had been a matter of solicitude, an#.jyas determined on. The cause suggests the remedy, which can he secured by the appointment of Commissioners, with ample powers to enforce existing laws in relation to tho dams in rivers and streams, and other il? legal obstructions to the passage of fish ; and the regulation of seines, nets and fish traps, by which their destructive opera? tions will be restrained and limited ; and to recommend such other measures as they may deorn necessary for the accom? plishment of the object of their appoint? ment. From the well-established fact that shad and other migratory fishes always return to tbeir breeding places, and that they have been excluded for so many years from the upper portions of our rivers, it may be necessary to restock them by ar? tificial moans. This can bo effected with great facility and at a comparatively trifling expense. The process of restock? ing the rivers of Now England, New York and Pennsjdvania is now in the lull tide of successful operation, and millions of eggs of the salmon, white-fish, trout and shad are hatched and set loose every season, gradually to find their way to the ocean, whence, after many days, with un? erring instinct, they'will return to their breeding places for purposes of reproduc? tion. Between thirty and forty millions of shad have been hatched and set loose in Connecticut River; and during the past breeding season, they wore hatched at tho ruto of one million per day in the upper waters of the Hudson Eiver. Tho roe of a f?ll grown shad contains one hundred thousand eggs, and these boing readily fecundated by the milt of the male fish, are placed in properly prepared boxes, and deposited in running water, to be hatched in from three to four days; and so successful have experts become in the process, that ninety-eight thousand live fish have been produced from one hundred thousand eggs. The young fish are then set loose, and immediately seek the middle of the stream, to avoid their numerous enemies who infest its margin, and gradually float with the current to tho ocean. The boxes are then ready for another batch. Tho cost of the boxes is above two dollars each. Two hundred boxes will hatch seven million of shad daily, or in twenty five days about fifteen millions, and would requiro the attention of about twenty-five men for less than one month. Thus it will be seen that in a comparatively short period our rivers may be restocked not only with shad, but with other valuable species that may be deemed deabnble, and our people in a few years will gather lull harvests of rich sub? sistence from our rivers, and "suck an abundance from the waters of the sea. By those who have attentively studied the subject, it iis estimated that an acre of water will produce, with, more certainty and less labor, as much food as an aero ot land, and when diligently attended to, in weil conducted fish ponds, it has been as? certained, that it will realize five times as muelv. if this bo so, tho absurdity of our past policy Fn pennkting the- fish t& bo excluded from our rivers, may bo illustra? ted by supposing that our lands now rais? ing corn, and cDtton, should bo allowed to bo neglected so as to fail in giving their yearly supply of food and comfort. But is this more absurd than in having per? mitted lor so many years our rivers and smaller streams, that once teemed with an annual supply of grateful and gener-| ous sustenance to tho community, to be? come barren and unproductive? - ? The Georgia State Fair, at Maconr| has been a triumphant success. Every section ot the State was represented, both in person and by its agricultural products, and the exercises were of a highly inter? esting character. - Hon. Mark A. Cooper delivered an oration upon "The Destiny of | Georgia," predicting that in time the 500, 000 bales of cotton now annually put into the market from that State will be manu? factured within its own limits. He urged the planters to seize upon the water-priv? ileges now in the market for sale at low prices, and hold them for future use when? ever the capital of Georgia is sufficient for | their development. Mr. Cooper depreca? ted the payment of large annual sums to Northern manufacturers when Georgia has equal facilities within its own limits. The address was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. The grounds of the society cover one hundred and forty-five acres, and are surrounded by a substan? tial fence Its building was once a Con? federate laboratory. It is two stories high, and contains an immense hall and eigh teen smaller rooms. There is also a capa? cious velocipede rink, and an amphitheatre with seats for l&,000 persons. - Little Howard came into tho room where his mother had just hung up a clean curtain, and made the astute obser? vation, "Oh, ma, the window has got on a clean shirt." - Printer's accounts are said to be like faith, "the things hoped for and tho evi? dence of things not seen." The minister who divides hi<j dis? courses into too manj' heads will find it difficult to procure attentive ears for all of them. ? It is currently reported and general? ly believed of the female sex, that they do not scruple to hook each other's frocks. ? There is many a man whose tongue might govern multitudes if he could gov? ern his own. Tutt's Vegetable Liver Pills ! Fur Liver Complaint, Billiousness, kc.
