The Situation?Plantation Culture in tni?
State. ' ~-^--~? .__.
Tho rccorit chungo in tho lnbor system of this
State must of necessity induco important changes
in pursuits, and what those changes muy bo i? DOW
iho question of mo3t abHorbiug interest. That
pursuits will bocomo moro varied, and that much
of our labor will bo withdrawn to employment in
tho arts and enterprises collateral to agriculture, is
reasonably cortaiu ; but what, then, will bc*lhc ef
fect upon existing interests, and particularly upon
Investments in plantation culture, is a most impor
tant question. Thoso interests, in tho seaboard
sections of tho Stato at loast, aro vast, and it is of
vast concern whether under proacnt circumstances
wo can sustain them. Plantations are peculiar
forms of agriculturo. Thoy arc seldom seen except
in slave or densely crowded countries. They arc
exclusively devoted to a single product, and through
such devotion raiso it at a rango of prices quito too
low for any other form of competition. Such en
terprises roquirc for their success order, discipline,
and constant and officient labor ; and under pres
ent circumstances can they got it ? So far, at loast,
the experiment has boen unsuccessful?the late
disturbances havo been quite too great for discip
line or labor, and the culture, thorofore, for this
year mirstprovo a failure. But will the next be more
successful ?
It ia not within our provinco to predetermine a
point of such importance; but from the lights we
have, wo venturo to affirm that tho indications
are - against it. To entertain reasonable pros
pects of success, tho. planter must start the
year with all tho labor necessary for the place.
At every Btep that labor must bo at hand ;
it must bo prompt to evory occasion ; patient
under hardships, and do everything that is
to ho done in an efficient and perfect manner.
Without this it wore a vain and visionary enter
prise, and of such labor tho nogro furnishes no
assurance. ' They work well under the stimulant
of excitement?well under tho pressure of superior
authority?well ovon in pursuits accordant with
individual inclination; but oxperionce baa yet given
no evidence of their ability to undergo distasteful
labor under tho stipulations of a contract. Such
labor is gonerally distasteful?distasteful to whites
as well as blacks. It is monotonous, constant, and
severe, and it is to bo questioned whether even
white men will over furnish the necessary labor at
any rate of componaation which such culture can
naturally offer. In fact, plantations have rarely
heeu successful except in slave countries or coun
tries whose population is so douse that the pressure
of want is asstringont as tho pressure of authority.
And in accordance with these viows has been the
experience of planting intorcsis in the West Inches
and on the Main. In English Guinea particularly,
their lands wero in high and profitable cultivation.
Prior to emancipation, tho labor was officient and
entirely manageable; But, after emancipation, it
became insufficient. A part left for tonus and
villages?a part took small tracts upon the borders
of estate??some formed small communities and
purchased estates, which they divided between
them. Proprietors, anxious to sustain their es
tates, gave extraordinary inducements to retain
their labor?extraordinary wages to induce it.
Competition commenced. As tho labor became
more expensive, it became more scarce and less
efficient; the expenses rose as products fell, and
struggling on for a period of eight or ten
years?hoping still for soino change?importing
Portuguese from Barbadocs and Coolies from
China, and trying every species of labor-saving
machiner v, and exhausting their capital and credit
in tho effort to stem tho current of their adversary
fortunes,?they had at last to yield to the ruin
which, wc believe, ongulfed every estato in that
province Tho oxperionce of planting interests in
this State may not necessarily ho the samo. It is
hoped that the want of negro labor, as fast as it
may occur, will be supplied by oinigrants from the
North or Europe. But they also had the parent
hive in the United Kingdom to draw from. Emi
grants wero then going in vast numbers to Aus
tralia, Canada, and tho United States?some per
haps evon to that colony?hut not to plantation
culture. And so hero, thore is large emigration
from Europe, and we will doubtless havo a large
accession to our population and enterprise from
abroad. We may reasonably hope that this will
infuse the energies of life and progress into every
pursuit to which voluntary labor flows; hut whilo
such pursuits are open, it is not to be supposed
that it will flow to plantations. The life is not so
attractive; the average of inducements are
not so great; tho pursuit will not bo
commended by tho charm of habit and
associations; and though it be true tho pro
ducts of our cotton and rice plantations, for some
years at loast, may bo exceedingly valuable, and
auch plantations, therefore, may pay high for
labor, and by such prices tho system may be
forced along for a period,?but every thing at last
must find its level. Cotton and rice cannot continuo
permanently in disproportion to other products; the
demand will diminish; the supply from other sour
ces increase; tho price of other products will rise
also, nnd hero the problem may be again demon
strated that plantations cannot ho successfully
cultivated by voluntary negro labor.
It ia not intended to establish that plantation
vrill henceforth cease to bo of value. On the con
trary, it is quite probablo thoy may bo of greater
value than they ever wore before. That form of
culture abandoned, each may become tho homo of
a prosperous community of farmers; and such a
community, properly ordered, and mutually sup
porting each other, and making enough for subsis
tance;?enough for rent, and a surplus, small or
great, for market?moy yield more to the proprietor
than did the successful prosecution of his planting
enterprise.
It is not contended that tho colored race will not
he ready for the ordinary labors of the State. On
the contrary, wo hopo they will he moro produc
tive of permanent interests than they ever have
been. We havo reason to hope thoy will enter into
trades ?,n.d the arts; that they will become thrifty
farmers; sm^ss competitors for property and con
sumers of piMnots, will contribute much to tho
culture and voateos?4tere8t9 of the etate#

The wo y "d?cli ha? jn?t ?loeod has brought to a |
level the rich and the needy?t!Te*?Jr*!???W?s?-iiaasj
humble?and han taken in its relentless grasp from
the coffers of the charitable those mean? which
they had of blessing the widow, educating the or
phan, and bestowing happiness upon the nufortu
' nato gcnorally. In its wide-spread devastation,
liko tho raging firo on the plain, nothing has been
spared; the mite of the poor and the wealth of the
opulent has been licked up by it? flaming tongue,
leaving behind nothing but ruin and desolation.
Associated bodies whose benevolent kindness sus
tained tho bereaved widow, and pointed the way of
honesty and virtue to the child of many a deceased
member, have, with the rest, been pecuniarily
struck down; and no one has felt more forcibly
the harshness of the blow than the Society whose
name heads this article, mid whoso bounties were
of the most extensivo kind.
Believing that a short history of this Association
will bo interesting to many of our readers, wc will
occupy, in two or three numbers, a small space to
it, taken from the Introduction to tho Rules of tho
Society.
Several refugees and then- descendants, mem
bers of the ironch Protestant congregation of
Charlee town, having among them an individual,
who waB in low circumstanccB, and had opened a
small tavern in order to maintain himself and fam
ily, agreed to meet at his house, whenever they
had any business to transact and to spend un eve
ning or two there, every week, purely to assist
him. They wero then generally called the French
Club. As their sole motive was charity, they after
a short time agreed, each to contribute fifteen
ponce at every meeting, towards raising a fund fur
tho relief of any others of their members who
might stand in need of support, and from that cir
cumstance the society derived the appellation of
the Two-Bit Club. (Four half-pence passed for
two bits, and amounted to ill'teen pence of the then
currency?equal to three cents and seven mills. )
This happened about the end of the year 173?. or
beginning of 1737; and having fixed on everv
Tuesday for their weekly meeting, limiting their
expenses to two shillings and sixponco currency,
and their contributions to one shilling and three
Eenco per week, thoy appointed one of their mim
er Steward, to collect and take care of the stock,
and keep a rcgidar account thereof.
After this association had continued for some
timo, several persons who had a knowledge of tho
French tongue, became members, that they might
improve themselves in that language, no other be
ing yet allowed to be spoken in tho socictv; and as
donates would sometimes naturally arise, they
found it necessary to have a presiding officer and
two constables; but their number being small, it
was agreed that their Steward should be the Pre
sident, and bo addressed by the title of "Mr. Stew
ard."
These regulations continued until tho first of
September, 1737, when they made further rules,
dated the regular comnencoment of the club from
that day, admitted the English language to be
spoken, and adopted the namo of the Carolina
Club.
Mnnv disputes and disturbances arose amongst
them between this period and the 1th of April,
1738, whereby tho Club had nearly undergone a
dissolution. "But, happily, before that day the
members agreed to frame now rules, alter the for
mer name to that of tho Carolina S^jiclv, admit
no language to bo Bpokcn butF.ngl?Hh, and to have
the following officers, viz: a Steward, to he their
Eresiding officer; two Wardens as assistants to
im, and a Treasurer to he elected annually; it
was also agreed that a Clerk and two Constables
should bo chosen quarterly; which being done, tho
whole stock, amounting to ?218 16s. currency, was
put into the hands of the Treasurer, and the new
rules were signed by all those who choso to con
tinuo members. At this time the Society consist
ed of forty-three members; they then appointed
Tuesday in Easter W^ck for their annual meeting
and for the election of their principal ofiicor?.
The foregoing account is nearly taken from tho
introduction to tho sixth edition of tho rules, and
giveB tolerably satisfactory information of the ori- !
gin And progress of tho institution. . Wo tbenco,
further learn that tho then existing rules tended
rather to induco confusion than promote peace
and good order; in consequence of which, a com
mittee was appointed to revise and new model '
them; tins being done, and approved on the 1st of '
May. 1739, they were engrossed and called the ori
ginal or constitutional rules.

ANNEXATION DISCUSSED AND DENOUNCED.
A Quebeo-, dispatch to tho Toronto Leader, of
August 14, says:
Some conversation has beon caused to-day by an
incident that occurred publicly last night in the ?
St. Louis Hotel. In the office of that establish- j
nient several American tourists were conversing j
with a number of members of Parliament, among (
them Mr. Christie, of the Upper House, Sir. White, (
of Halton, Mr. O'Halloran, of Mississippi, Mr. Ma- j
gill, of Hamilton, Mr. Walsh, of Norfolk, when tho j
subject turned on the probability of war with tho j
United States. Messrs.'White ahd O'Halloran ex- i
pressed the conviction that in, the event of war not ]
one-half of tho active militia, or people of Canada, j
would consent to serve against the Americans, and |
that the manifest destiny and only safety of this -
Provinco was annexation to the United States. Mr.
Magill, indignant at these sentiments, warmly re- ?
pucliated them, and condemned in just terms "men j
who, having :worn as members of Parliament to '<
sustain the H 'one and uphold tho constituent, j
cast such slanderous imputations upon the lovalty (
of the pcoplo of Canada. Ho also censured the i
"grave senator" Christie for listening quietly to i
these disloyal utterances, and giving a tacit assent i
to them. Then, turning to the Americans, who <
might as well go away with the opinion that Cana- <
dilu?s are disloyal to tho core, Mr. Magill asked i
them whether, thd case were reversed, they would t
not despise men who-acted towards their country (
as Messrs. White and O'Halloran acted towards t
this. ' i
Mr. Magill has been much praised for his manly i
vindication of Canadian loyalty, and his castigation <
of the faithless Canadian legislators. 1

Southebn News by Teleobaph.?Sinco tho end 1
of the war we have boen making efforts to ro-estab- '
lisb telegraphic communication with the South, ]
for the benefit of the public; but obstructions were .1
placed in the way by .tho War Pepartmont. A dis- ]
patch, received yesterday, explains the reason why j
the public have been shut out from telegraphic
intercourse with ?ho Southern States. It is that
tho lines aro overburdened with government busi- '
Bess when not used py private commercial tolo- (
grams. It strikes us that tills is very poor logic.
If private business dispatches aro permitted to go ]
ovor th?'lines, why not the press be accommo- J
dated? Why should a few individuals bo favored l
and tho public excluded? ' Tho press is the con- I
servfltor of tho interests of the commercial com- <
munity as well is of'tho whole "pooplo, and if dis- i
fatches on commercial laatters were published in 1
he nowspapers, all cir.sses would get the news, <
and ho oue individual could take advantage: of it. '
It may be quite fair that the government should i
have the first claim upon tho telegraph linen which i
have been reconstructed at their own expense; but i
if any fa vorn are t> he granted., w? think that the i

It is the congregration of contrabands in this
city without employment, or disposition to procuro
it, crowded together in filthy and unwholosomo
?lens, ill provided for. They will invito disoaso and
epidemic, and become food for its ravages, and will
greatly endanger the general health or tho city.
I counsel yon to confer with tho beat informed
of your fellow-citizens in different portions of the
State and city as to the best modo of provitling
against this influx, and to deviso and suggest ways
mid means of employment for them hi tue country
at remunerativo wages.
There is, gentlemen, a Bureau of Frccdmcn's
labor existing in the State, oroctod by an act of
Congress and n-gulatod by military authority. It
was created, I believe, as a war necessity, anil hav
ing filleil its mission bv the return of peace, I en
tertain no doubt but that it will soon bo removed,
and tho whole subject be reforrod to tho Stato
authorities.
Every honorable means should bo used that can
be devised to induce the Government to removo it
at the earliest day possible.
It appears to b? at war with the best interest of
the colored people, and destructivo of tho produc
ing interest of the State. Planting and farming
cannot bo regulated by hours; they are required
to bo pressed at certain times and seasons, which
is followed by corresponding relaxation nt other
seasons, which more than compensates for tho
extra exertions of laborers.
These unfortunate pcoplo leave a permanent
home, where they have no rent to pay, a healthy
air to breathe aiid a fair compensation for their
labor, and drift in herds to the city, whero you
find them crowded together in filth and idlonoss.
Tho Bureau, it appears to me, if continued in
time of peace, would go to history as a nursery of
discontent ami a school of vagrancy, alike destruc
tive to tho interest of the freedmen and tho Stato
and city.
Labor must regulate itself upon the meritorious
conduct of la borer?. If tho masa of these people
can be, induced to remain at their old homos,
whero tuoy are comfortable, have a pure air to
breathe, and their morals protected, thoy would
have more ready cash at the end of the year than
by drifting from place to placo.
"The former owners were induced by tho Consti
tution and laws of the United States and of this
State to invest largo sums of money in slaves and
houses for their protection, and it is just and fit
ting that these people, now that they aro freo, bo
encourage?! by the Government to remain at homo.
Gentlemen,"there is a class of politicians among
us who seem to think their political merits can be
discovered, understood and appreciated by tho col
ored pcoplo only. They induce many of them to
believe that all* they now require to make them
groat and happy, is' to be admitted to the right of
Franchise. Tins" creates discontent. With these
gentlemen I differ. I am of tho mind that if the
colored race advance in knowledge, civilization or
wealth, it will be by honest conduct, faithful, con
stant andpersevcriiig industry. And this I believe
to be the language of the true friends of the color
ed man. The respectable and well-behaved among
them in the city of New Orleans have ac?piired their
property and 'standing in that way and not by
voting.
If admitted to the ballot box they would ho herd
ed to the polls to vote for a favorite of their em
ployees, and if my premises are correct, these poli
ticians would be "gravely disappointed, and should
be well satisfied if they received one vote of a hun
dred.
Gentlemen, I recommend you to appeal to tho au
thorities at Washington in favor of encouraging
the colored people to remain at their homes by
every means in the power of the Government; and
I am sure that Major-General Canby, whoBO very
name is honor and discipline to the army, strength
to tho Government, and confidence to tho pcoplo,
will, as far us consistent with his own instructions,
not turn a deaf ear to respectful suggestions or
appeals you may make for stopping the ingress and
turning the tide of these contrabands to The couu
try, whore they can i'md employment and be useful
to the Stato and themselves.
Wo are bound by our oaths to obey all acts of
Congress, all proclamations of the President of tho
United States, until abrogated, repealed or de
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of
the United 8tates. Every good Southerner will
implicitly obey, for tho sake of upholding law and
order; but his right to petition and remonstrate is
inalienable, as long as we nro a free people.
A God-inspired Trojan said:
"To Bpcak hin thoughts la every frecdman's right,
In peace and war, in counsel and in fight."
Your powers in the premises arc limited to sug
gestions, petition and remonstranco; let them be
respectful, let them be earnest and just.

OBITUARY.
DEPARTED THIS LIFE, on tho 22d of July, IMft, at
Waltorboro", aftor a protracted antl painful UlncKs. Mrs.
ELIZA It. GLOVER, aged 75 years, relict of the lato
Mr. PETUnGnoVEB, of the same place.
Tho subject of this brief memorial was, for ? long
course of year?, an unconimou Bu?cror, by lingering
and acute disease. Her Heavenly Father, in His inlinitv
wisdom, BBwiUnnlBii-t her with more than ordinary
' to verify. In her
h much tribu
guish, and tWtWC^Bkmsm
case, the scriptural maxim, that
latiou wo must enter the Kingdom of He
depths of her sorrows and sufferings only
tho moro upon tho grace of her covenant with God,
stimulated her the stronger to cling to the Cross of her
loving Saviour.
Por about forty years she was a warm-hearted and
consistent professor of the religion of her Muster?lov
ing His service, submitting to His will, and endeavoring
to perform her duties in the varied relations of life.
Retiring in her manners and induatrlous in her habits,
she sought her happiness in tho bosom of her family
and tho discharge of domestic duties, and greatly en
deared herself to her household by her faithful and un
tiring attentions. Gonorous, too, In her disposition, she
rendered assistance, according to her ability, to the
needy; and was both warm-hearted and liberal to the
church of which she was o member, making a kind do
nation at a most opportune season.
Passing thus through a long course of year?, endea
voring to serve tho Lord to the best of her ability and in
her humble, quiet uud devoted way, she was called to
testify to the faithfulness of her Redeemer in supporting
and comforting her through months of most agonizing
suffering?. Aud It was upon this long aud last bed of
illness that bIic shone most brighUy as a patient Christian
sufferer, never murmuring, but ever praying for faith
and patience to enduhk as well as do her Master's will.
Longing and panting to bo at rest, she nevertheless
bowed her will to the will Supreme, and making the
utterances of Job her honest language?"All the days of
my appoiuted time will I wait, till my chango come."
And when that change did como, it found her plumed for
the skies and prepared for immortality. "Precious Sa
viour, precious Saviour, take me to thyself," was her
frequent and fervent outcry, and, dressed for immor
tality and glory, she was called, as wo trust, to bo with
her Lord forever.
Her numerous friends, while they mourn her depart
ure, acquiesce in her removal; and her dutiful aud
stricken children, while they feel and deploro her loss,
yet feel freo to say?"Not our will, but thy will, O Lord,
be done." May the affliction be divinely sanctified to
them all.
