DAILY NEWS. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 21. 1S'..~,. In <;onsu)khin?i the means available for ready and rapid restoration of our country, we become coi.?cious or vast work to ho performed, and of tbo probability that thero will bo ?rent deficiency of labor. It become? Important, therefore, to i ?conomise labor, and In view of sueb necessity, wo havt? thought it not improper to bring to tho notice of onr roadors, and moro especially of the membora of tho Legislatura, a meaauro which, some years ago, was urged upon attention, ami which now would be oven moro appropriate. Thia measure m a change in our law? upon tho subject of onelosuro. The law at pr?sent.throws the onus of preserving hia crop from the depreda tions of stock upon tho farmer. He may have no Block himself, but he must fonce I??h fields to pro tect I horn from the stock of other people. This, wc think, is wrong in principio; there is no natu ral right in stock to dev?state a neighbor's fields; no natural obligation on the farmer to inour the expenses necessary to protect himself. The prod uce of broad is as meritorious as the production of moat, and who undertakes to produce bread, therefore, should ho allowed to do so with no other charges upon him than aro necessary to protect the community from tho damages to result from his pursuit; and, as tho community is liable to no damage from it?as he may plant his corn perpet ually without injury to anybody without enclos ure, it is not incumbent on him to erect fonces; bnt tbo same principle applied to tho stock raiser would throw tho onus of cnclosuros upon liUu; his stock will .do damago unless restrained, and it is for him, therefore, to boo that tho community sus tain no dotrimont. This law, wrong in principle, was adapted to a state of facts not now existing. "When the colony was comparatively a common, it was propor that the farmer, appropriating a portion of it. should fence thiB portion, and lcavo to cattlo uurostrictod range over tho balance But it is not now a common?all has been appropriated; and it ia now a question Bimplj whether it is right that tho men whoso pro ducts do no damago without fonces, or the men whose products aro likely to do damago without fences, should bo put to the oxponso of tho erec tion; or, perhaps, what amounts to tho samo thing, whether it he cheaper to fenco tho cattlo or to fence tho crop. Upon this subject wc think there can bo no room to doubt. One-twelfth*of tho labor of this 3tate, amounting to littlo less than two million dollars, and vast quantities of valnablo timber, havo been annnally appropriated to tho taak of sustaining fences, and, as wo have said, to no advantage. Tho fonces around crops arc of no conceivable ad vantage to the.country. They would grow as well without, and any creature with reason must confess they would bo as harmless; and more than two million dollars, therefore?a fund more thau four timos as great as is necessary to carry on the State Government?is imposed on the planting iu torcsts, without tho ability in any human being t<j Bay that plantation products are benefited by it. Rut it is said this is the condition only upon which wecan raise stock, and that what the plant ers suffer in Ihc way of fences is compensation tc the community, and to thoni, as members of it, ii tho way of stock. That proposition is not true, In the first place, the stock of the entire State it not worth much more than $2,000,000; and it car scarcely be policy to spend every year, in the mean of raising stock, as much as tho stock itself i? worth. Nor, in tho next place; is this tho con dition of stock raising. If men were obliged t( fenco thoir own stock, as much would be raised ai ?b raised now. Very many, and the most success, fol planters, fence their own stock, under the con viction that it is moro profitable, whilo they keep uj miles of fences to protect their crojis from tin stock of others. Iu fact, it ia in thia way onlj that stock can bo improved, and tho business b< made really profitable; and wo havo every confi donco that if the owners of stock in this State wen compelled to fence it, tho quantity would bo in creased?tho breed better?tho products in tk< way of milk.'butter, and cheese and tallow, great er. And looking, therefore, to stock raising it self, we feel assured the obligation to fonce anc caro for it is tho measure upon which its succesi dependa. Such were tho considerations prosonted at ar earlier period of our history, when labor was cheat and abundant, and whon agricultural product were not so vastly valuable and important, am they exist now in vastly greater force. It is to b< feared that tho efficiency .of our colored labor wil bo much impaired, and much of that available wmdd bo exhausted upon tho present foncin*: system, with littlo loft for othor pursuits. Tho labor brought from abroad will be costly and ought to bo directed immediately to tho wort of production. In many of our rural districts much of our fencing has been burned or has gone to decay. Tho cost of reconstruction now wil much transcend tho annual estimate, ovon foi maintenance of structure. In some sections there is a scarcity of timber; in many others tho impos sibility of restoring fences; and, undor tho cir cams tances, therefore, it is a matter of exceeding importance that this system should bo changed We will not present a schomo in detail. The delegations from tbe rural districts will be com petont to deviso them, but of tho polioy wo tliinl tbero can. bo no kind of question; and wo thinl this is not only a propor timo for its adoption, bn that Its adop^on, under tho circumstances, is im porativo. Vnrtn Cuitare. One of tho most attractive pursuits among tin many presonted to tho residents in the immediate vicinity of Charleston is that of farming, and it ii much to bo hoped that it*will moot the early at tontion of those who may bo in a condition to em bark in it. For yoars boforo tho war it was sac ceasiully prosecuted, and contributed much to th< comfort of our people, and much to the profit o those cngagod in it. It is equally important now and must bo equally profitable. Manyofthosi who will come to the South in search of fortune will profor employment near tho town. It will b< moro ready to their hand, and will givo thorn th< protection of tho city, known to be healthy, fron tho sickness which is supposed to provail in sum mor through tho rural districts. From this cause thoro will be, doubtless, labor in abundanco and tho profits of such pursuits can scarcely be ?Zn!i0?na?10- Th? landiJ Bro on8"y cultivated ant exceedingly productivo; tho city affords an abun SJ_?2S 5" b0at lnanuro ttt ?"> ?ore thar the cost of hauling; tho seasons are long onougl to admit a success on of crop.. Root? &gnd \ winter; potatoes, boots, carvots, spinach, lottuce and tho hko, in spring; corn and grass in sumrae? ?can all bo successfully cultivated in succession And, taking this into consideration, it is doubtfu if thero be lands on tho seaboard north of tho coast of Georgia whero so much can bo produced to th< aero. Of theso abundant products much will be re quired, and at remunerative prices, by the city bat for tho surplus thoro is a scarcely less profita ble market at the North. Tho season hero is ?? least six weeks in advance of Unit of New York, and tor all early vegetable--, therefore, and m< lons anil fruitd, there is the certainty of ready sale, and the eiiual ?'ertainty of fuin-y prices in the Northern cities. To these markets, llioro is ready accr?s through the lines of steamers now established. The facilities tor transportation have never beer, so great as they now are. HtOM facilities aro still to he extended. To the _?<*-* already osliihlislicd, other stcan?ers are to he added. Still another line is in prospect to Balti more, another still to Boston, and whatever may be the surplus products of our farms, therefor?-, there is little question of its ready transportation to a profitable market. Such are the pecuniary eonsulcrations in favor of tho enterprise; but to those who have a taste for horticulture, there are few places where it can I be so readily nnit pleasantly indulged. The cli mate is pleasant, and admits of an endless variety of products. Vegetables. Traits and flowers flout ish as they seldom flourish elsewhere: and to per sons of means so liberal as lo permit the indul gence, there is inducement enough to the pursuit, without consideration of the'pecuniary advanta ges to result from it. LITERATURE. Timr.K Montuh in the Southern States. By Lieut. Col. Fromantlc, Coldstream Guards. John Bradburn, publisher, 19 AValker-street, New York. a_J The author, n British officer in Hor Majesty's Hcrvieo, visiteil this country during the late war, whoro, having made a tour of three months through the Southern Stntea, he wascnabled to collect auch information in relation to the important events then transpiring, as induced him to give to his fellow countrymen a Hiiccinct account thereof, in the form of a diary, togothor with reflections on men and manners engendered by an intim?t o personal acquaintance with the loadiiig generals and ofneors of tho lato Confederate army, as well aa an oxtonded tour through tho country, and a promiscuous intercourse with persons of all classes. Tho roader is conducted through the wilds oi To'xas, into Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama; thonco through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and northward to Virginia and Maryland: thence into Pennsylvania, where' a beautiful peu pioturo of the b, attlo of Gettysburg is unfolded ti his view. In tho work aro well drawn portraitures of tho personnel of Jefferson Davis, Generals Lee Beaureoakd, and others. Tho chief merit of the book consists in the ontiro truthfulness of its statements, and freedom from prejudices in a! comments; in fact, it is characterized by strict im partiality throughout. The diction, however, if faulty, and in many respects is at least inelegant if not absolutely ungrammatical. "Only one mai waa killed, which was caused by the falling of tin flag-staff," is highly incorrect. "Cnptaiu Mitcuel son to tho so-colled Irish patriot," is eipially im proper. Tho following sentence is exceeding.* awkward in its expression: "Mrs. H-nsked m< to an evening party, but tho extreme badness o my clothes compelled nie to decline the invitation.' Such passages show that no pains have beei taken with tho diction; therefore, thcro is sad); wanting the smooth flowing language of a read; pen. Twcnty-livo pages aiv devoted to Charles ton and its enviions, with an accurate dcscriptioi of Fort Suinter, ami nn account of the attack o the iron-clads resulting in the sinking of tho Keo kuk. The hook is full of interest, ami we ventur conlidontly to assure our readers that it will ropa; a careful perusal. The Sgeinon P?peos. By John Phronix (Capt. Geo. II Derby), author of "Phniuixiana." Carlctou, puhllshci No. lia Broadway, New York. These 'Tapers" comprise about thirty humoi ouB sketches, on well-selected subjects, writtou i a stylo literally overflowing with wit. The drolle* situations, tho most original ludicrous ideas, in* presented in a serio-comic vein, in language c choicest diction, whilst at times the language il self is so chosen as to enhance tho merit of th humorous character of tho ovents "norraled." As it is impossible, in rotating a joke, to do jus tico by beginning in tho middle "where tho laugl comes in," it is equally so by a few quotation from this work to convey an adequate idea, of it combinod excellencies. Since, however, wo hav alroady, almost inadvertently, quoted from one c tho Squibob Papers, it may not be in bad tasto t edify our roadors as to tho derivation of tho boi rowed word "oration." "Tho word oration, sip, nifying a public address, has a military origin. 1 originated in a custom once prevalent amon; commanding officers and chaplains, of makin, long and verbose addresses to the troops, whic wore stigmatized as 'all talk and no rations whence tho word noration modernized into orn tion. * * * * * * * From tho word n?ratio is derived tho common expression?common i tho swoot and classic vales of Pike?'to norratc Thus wo hear an individual wishing to ?efer to ai anecdote related to him in early life by his grand mother, say, 'I hard her norrate if.' " Tho Fourth of July "Oration" is the first pioc in the book, and is among tho best; but tho pah must be awarded to tho "Journey from Boston t New Orleans," which is a perfect gem of humorou writings, and is calculated to elicit a pleasant gri oven from tho sternest anchorite. Nothing can b moro amusing than the account of tho "Boy wit the Accordoon," and of what hofoll him by the jnt decreo of "a retributive Providonce." This pioc . alone, to one who can half appreciate trno humo* is certainly worth more than the sum for which th book can ho procured, whilst the other "Papers," o a variety of subjects, aro almost equally amusing Wo heartily cominond to our readers "The Squibo Papers," which, we had almost omitted to montioi are dedicated to the great military chieftain, Gei Geo. B. McOlellan. Mr. Henry Ward Beeoheb seems to bo in a j sore a muddle about the question of "negro su 3 frage" as about tho question of "holl." His nt* tion of "eternal punishment" sooms to be that is something rather disagreeable, which lasts considerable timo; something more painful, poi haps, than a second-rate toothache, and almost? protracted as an avorage Plymouth Church sei mon. Eus notion of tho politioal rights of tho in gro is that "the nogro ought to voto," though h does not undertake to Bay that he "ought to hav 3 the suffrage " This is as cloar as mud, and muc j more conciliatory. If tho nogroco do not recoiv ! "tho suffrage," we can see no objection to thei "voting." They might go out in the woods o election days, and pop ballots into hollow gui trees, whoroby, as the huge bargco said of hi little wife's custom of beating him with a broon stick, thoy would bo amusod, and nobody wouh bo hurt. ? i? - Wo aro so much ongrossod in domestic affair? and war intolligonco from South America comoi so irregularly, that we pay but little attention U the war raging there betweon Paraguay on the on? aide, and Brazil and Uraguay on tho other.
