the Senate the documents called for regarding Re?
construction, and the estimates of expense for car?
rying oatt these billa-$14,000,000, in addition to
$2,100,000 already expended. Thia is the aggro
gate for governing these States before' the war.
"This sum," continues the President, "would
be considerably augmented if the State ma?
chinery should bo operated by the Fedora!
Government, and would be largely inoreased, if
the United States? by abolishing the State gov?

laudable efforts to develop their resources, and in
nowise connected with insurrectionary purposes.

greater part due loyal citizens and foreigners. It

ON THES WIK G.
EKIOBATION.
DABXJNQTON, S. C.. July, 1867.-I waa somewhat
surpriseu, amid the supposed satisfactory
hygyienic condition of thiB part of the State, to
find two forms of fevers prevailing, here, as yet
sporadic, but bidding fair in time to assume an
opidomic type. By a seeming, not however, alto?
gether unaccountable freak of nature, one of these
fovore has attacked the whites exclusively, and the
other is found onlv among negroes. I think both
forms would yield readily to judioious advice and
mild treatment. But I forgot to name these dis?
eases. Well, then, one is the Brazil fever, and the
other the Florida fever.
We cannot be surprised that the freedmen
should give ready credence to marvellous stories
told them about tho Paradise in the Flowery
land, where they will get eighty acres of land,
where fish and game are plenty, where summer io
perennial, where oranges, bananas and pine?
apples grow spontaneously all tho year round,
and. height of bliss, where they can live without
work. When we consider the ignorance of the
race, their brilliant, childish taney, their credulity,
and their natural inclination to ease and indo?
lence, we find a ready explanation for the prova?
lence of this desire to emigrate to Florida ; the
more so, as the great majority have nothing to
lose, and in the presence of hard work naturally
imagine that any change must be for the better.
Never having beon thrown on their own resources,
or made to think for themselves, they oxercise no
forecast, and are regardless of consequences. If j
they wore inclined, to baten to reason, it would
bo easy to show to them that they will do belter to
romain hero among their friends, where they can
always count on a certain market for their labor
or their produce ; and I think it is the duty of
every one, Northern or Southern, who con:manda
tho confidence of nogroes, to set this whole mat^
ter fully before them, and warn them against has?
tily abandoning their homes and going to an un
.known-country.
But I confess that I was very much surprised to
find among the whites also a widespread desire to
emigrate. Thore seems to be no definite point
determined upon as yet, which they would prefer
as the placo of their future home. Mexico is no
tonger mentioned in this connection. The present
condition of that distracted country is not such as
to invito immigration. If filibustering expeditions
against Mexico are organized, I should, however,
not be surprised, if many young, men from the
South should be found to join them. We deprecate
such action on their part, but know from ex?
perience that this may always be looked for after
a long war, and the demoralization it invariably
brings in its train. Brazil, Venezuela and British
Honduras, I bel? vo, are the objective points at
present, occupying the attention cf . the people of
this part of the country.
I cannot go into a minute examination of the
claims, merits and demerits of those several
countries, as placee to which Southern people
might emigrate. I doubt not that on? -and all
offer inducements which wonld justify German,
Irish or Swedish emigrante to go there. These, j
moreover, I feel sure, would in the coarse of time
do well there, just a3 others of their countrymen
have done we i who preceded them, and. just as
these some Gormans, Irish,, etc., would do if
they wore to ] come nora. ' It should bo re?
membered, however, that theso emigrants rhave
boen brought up tu do hard work, and expect to
work, to whatersrplaes they-muy: f?o?' They leave
their own country because it is over populated, be?
cause land commands exorbitant prices, because
taxation is heavy, and coascription OIUICOUB, and
because of innumerable other civil and municipal
enactments restricting the exercise of indi^'dual
h berty. In short they leave, not because ?h?-? are
unwilling to work, but because they wish to go to
a place where they can work to'some purpose,
where they will have plenty to eat, and a prospect
of ease and independence as a reward of their
labors; all of which, they aro debarred of in their
native country.. Farmers and mechanics are the
only immigrants desired by any country, and
when I say {armers, I mean men who will take
holt of tho plough, the shovel .or tjo hoe, not
gentlemen planters, who can merely superintend
.the work. The professions are at a discount. Tho
position of the foreigner in any country at first
is, and always has been, a menial ono. The placos
of honor and emolument belong to tho native,
.and the foreigner everywhere most giva abundant
proof of his'worth and his deserts before he ran
lay claims to exemption [from manual labor -id
'askhis share of the "easy places," provided by
society. Capital- certainly shortens his term of
probation, and not unfrequently enables him to
leap at a bound all these barriers.
Now if those of our poeple Who entertain a do
sire to emigrate will but make np their "minds, lay
by their dignity and false shame, and take hold of
the plough, the plano, or the trowel, as thoy would
have to do w TO they to emigrate, they can do
quite as well here as they can reasonably expect to
do anywhere, and remain in their own country,
and among their own kindred during the entire
term of their natural Uves.
The same holds good, only to a still greater de?
gree, os regards those who possess capital. Where
will money command a better price thant right
here ? Here, ir thoy do not liko to cultivate their
paternal inheritan.ee, because the soil is not sufil
cieutly fertile, they have millions of acres from
which to choose, abd ' at a very moderate price.
Here they have been born, and whatever chango
in their c. reun?s tances a political revolution may
haye effected, it can never eaadioate their attach?
ment to their native State. Here repose the bones
of our fathers; the h ia tory of tho State, in all her
glorious pastis- our history, and the soil of South
Carolina is enriched by those who foll in her de?
fence. Our friends are here, our neighbors, our
relatives, tho associations of a life time, nay, of
g?n?rations and .centuries. Here amour churches
and our pastors, here are the schools where our
children are taught the elements of knowl?
edge, r'.hall we leavo-all these behind .? Boot them
out from our hearts and memories ? And for
'what? Because we have been defeated in the fight
for indep3ndencs ? Did wo not .enter tho struggle
with open eyes, and voluntarily ? Did we not, in
doing so; take tfpon ourselves the consequences
of such a step, of failure as well os of success ? Is
.it manly now, in the hoar of trial to aband m
those who from circumstances aro compelled to
remain ? 1 co aid easily enlarge on this part of the
subject, but it is unnecesary.
And what is offered in exchauge for all these
blessings and privileges voluntarily surrendered ?
Why, to go to a foreign country, whoro another
language is spoken, to another race of people of j
a different religion, different habits and customs;
and whore, as we have hinted above, they will en?
counter almost insurmountable obstacles and
prejudices at every step of their progress, to say
nothing of the difficulties of climate, and other
hardships, incident to the transplanting of an old
tree to a now soil.
Some there will be who think I am exagge?
rating the difficulties and privations connected
with emigration. To thom I would say, I know
whereof I affirm, and tho half has not yet boen
told. Do you point to Germans and Irishmen who
get on well here ? I havo already indicated the
reason. They land for tho most part in a dostitute
condition, and at once go to woik, and if ono thing
does not pay thoy try another and another
ashnrned of no kind of employment that will ena?
ble i hem to make an honest h vin g. If selling
dry goods and guaging does not pay here, they
try ditching aud working on the railroad. If we
are prepared to do all this, there is no occtcf^n
emigrate. Our labor will command a bettor price
here, and what we make will go further here than
it would anywhere else.
But many of us are not prepared to do manual
labor. In case of a vicissitude of fortune, even if
you start with capital, you may, by successive fail?
ures of crops, or through other moms, be reduced
to porerty; what then, iu a strange land? Poverty
is bad enough at home, among friends and kins?
folk; but what is it away from home, among
strangers, between whom and yourself thoro is not
ono single link of sympathy ? Read tho history of
tho Emigrants during thc first French Revolution.
The noble exiles, who had fled to England and to
Germany, from necessity, however, and not from
choice, gentlemen at home, much as our planters
are and have been, in foreign countries languished
for the wine-clad hills of their native land, oking
out a precarious and miserable existence as teach?
ers of the French language, as dancing masters,
billiard markers, and sometimes even as barbers !
Think of it, what a degradation; a Montmorency a
barber ! In their own country thia could never
have happonod. Let our people bowaro how they
act rashly in so grave a matter.
? Some of oar people allego 'they cannot live hero
because they do not wish to be on a political equal?
ity with the negro. If they go to South America,
or to Honduras, we do not see that they better
themselves. Here they are only iequired to live
with their own race and with negroes; there with
negrooB, Spaniards, Indians, and half breeds of
every shade and hue. Turn it in whatever way I
wilr, view it from whatever aspect, I cannot see a
single good argument in favor of emigration, and
I know often thousand against it.
And with this I will end my tales of a
TRAVELLER.
"AGRICULTURE."
WALTEBBOBO', July 6th.
Editor Baily News :
1 desire to pen a few remarks on the subject of
Agriculture, for your columns. They will necessa?
rily be short, and in their nature more general
than particular, especially as relating to tho
science, for which we may boast very many emi?
nently successful husbandmen. Scientific agri?
culture has been a desideratum in our country.
By this latter clause, I would be understood to
mean that a very moderate portion of the intelli?
gence of the Southern States has been directed to
I this particular branch of enterprise. As a depart?
ment, we think it the noblest and the most use?
ful ; many are the eulogies bestowed upon the
farmer, not tho least of wh: * e acknowledged
dependence of all other occupations upon his per?
severance and his toil ; yet few indeed would be
' Willing to have the intelligence of their country?
men estimated by the intelligence of this particu?
lar class. It has been found expedient, and per?
haps wise, to encourage talent and learning, to
undertake the accomplishment of what is merely
ornamental, or what indirectly conduces to the
elevation and aggrandizement of all branches of
labor. lam inclined to the opinion, however,
that it would have been far wiser and productive
of more immediate benefits, had it been the proud
aim of our people to foster tho science of agricul?
ture by devoting to it a considerable part of
that learned investigation wbioh has been so
lavishly bestowed on geology, engineering and
arms. It is true many of our colleges have
joined to their other departments, that of agricul?
ture, and there have boen Agricultural Jour?
nals established and conducted with great
taste and ability, bot it is a melancholy truth that
tho dissemination of enlightened, progressive views
among the masses'engaged in the cultivation of
the soil has been indeed slow, and inadequate to
the intrinsically great importance of agricultural
labor. It is a mistake to start a man in any work
with but one set of ideas to last a Ufe time. It is
wise to educate a mau so that be will be able to
adapt his modes of thought and labor to emer?
gencies which are necessarily unforeseen tn the
world of progress. That all actions should be re?
ferred to principle we admit, bat those principles
should be formed by circumstances which in them?
selves are liablo to chango. We start from the
hypothesis, therefore, that tho education which
will best fit a man for the duties of life is not in its
nature positive, but merely tentative, not arbitra?
ry and perfect, bat progressive and inchoate; and,
by a parity of reasoning, we and that it is not he
who commenced to cultivate the Boil by an undevi?
ating role, and, with productive lands and favora?
ble seasons, enjoys Buocess and prosperity for a
sorieB of years', that will beet promote the interests
of agriculture in general, not even his own individ?
ual interests, for, in case of unfavorable seasons,
or being situated on lands that require tho exorcise
of mach scientific culture and economy, Ats on? set
of opinions would po longer serve him, and his
toil would be lost. (Moris this loss true in every
other field of science.
The future prospects of America Uve in its' agri?
cultural developments-that is, those Will be of
paramount interest, A wonderful metamorphosis
hos been effected in the social, political and indus?
trial condition of .things. Not as formerly w?l
there be the same anomalous state of society.
Wealth, power and learning mast now be more
equally diffused. The possession of the soil will
probably be tho condition on which tho elective
.franchise will be exercised. Every citizen who has
a permanent, indefeasible interest in tho soil will
be recognized as ono of the constituent unitiea of
tho commonwealth. The Agrarian law w?l pre?
vail. I do not mean to insinuate that it will come
by direct legislation, bat the tendency of things is
to produce it; and aU species of toil will be settled
upon a different basis from that which it has hith?
erto obtained. Population will become dense,
and instead of large demesnes being under tho
control, and in the possession of one owner, small
farms, conducted upon principles according with
the strictest economy, beauty and care, will bo
parcelled out to those who may seek shelter and
peace from foreign tyranny in our country. To
say the least, this is a ' 'consummation devoutly to
be wished." In every community where the Ger?
man emigrant has settled he has infused a spirit
of energy and enterprise, a love of order,*which
gives to bis home and circle the i dy die
spell of a Ufe upon tho Rhine. They do
not seek wealth by gigantic undertakings, such as
were common in- America in the past; but they
rather seek to Uve comfortably by the least amount
of unnecessary labor, and this is folly attained by
scrupulous neatness of arrangement, not only as
evidenced in agriculture, but also in the style of
architecture, and the chaste and beautiful dis?
position of flowers aud vines, together with a
thorough knowledge of the adaptation of soil to
cortaba plants, and how to tako advantage of the
seasons ia cultivation; and, above all, in making
every acre produce the greatest amount possible
by increasing the vitality of the earth. The Sys?
tem of American farming (if it can be said to havo
had a system) was not indeed a mistake in the
post, os it would bo if adopted in future. It was a
trao type of everything else American. No time
was (riven to the study of agriculture as a science,
nor to the fertilization of the soil, because when
worn, as it would be in a few years, plenty of new
lands were obtainable. The people of America
made giant-like, and wo will be excused for saying
meretricious, strides in o very thing, and the farmer
could not be left behind. Bat no longer
oan the labor system be conducted
upon a plan so colossal. The labor can neither
be had nor directed as of old, and tho need of
money wiU be found a serious impediment by those
who attempt to reconstruct and re-establish the
old regime. ' It will be easy to find parallels and
analogies to corroborate my position, where I
asBumo that this sys tom of farming, which I wiU
christen the "European," will be the only produc?
tive, in fact the only practicable system we can
adopt in oar country henceforth. But it would be
useless to bring forward anything so plain, and
besides, I have transcended the limits act to my?
self ia this article. Hoping, therefore, that our
people may understand and appreciate thc changes
which have taken placo, and that corresponding
changes may bu made to suit them in all deport?
ments of labor and enterprise, I lay down my pen
from this hasty scrawl. LEONIDAS.

Insure in t lu Worin Mutual Insurance Com?
pany, New York.
Life Insurance has long ago ceased to bc novel,
and has become one of our fixed institutions, Tho
old antipathy and prejudico which first existed
against this, in common with othor innovations
upon the customs of society, hos almost entirely
disappeared, and good men everywhere hove recog?
nized and admitted its great and practical bene?
fits to society at Urge. No warmer supporters aro
found than our clergymen, many of whom have
"proved their faith by works," hating taken poli?
cios upon their own lives to large amounts. Tho
World Mutual Lifo Insurance Company, whose ad?
vertisement will be found in another column, is an
enterprising institution, founded on scientific
principles, and organized with a degree of skill
which bids fair to render it ono of tho most popu?
lar institutions of tho age. Particular attention
is asked to its non-participating rates of premium,
which are said to be lower than those of any other
company ia tho world. By this method tho in?
surer secures at once the largest possible amount
of insurance l'or a stated sum, which is never in?
creased nor decreased during the continuance of
the policy. This plan is commended to those per?
sons of fixed income who desire to pay an even
sum and lo secure now tho largest insurance
therefor. Thoao who wish to effect a policy cannot
do better thoo to make a careful study of the terms
of this excellent company.

. FBTDAY'S PEOOTXDINOB.
On tho assembling of the 8enato, Mr. Chandler
asked leavo to call np tho resolution offered by
him a few days since, directing the Committee on
Foreign Relations to inquire now many Mexican
prisoners of war had been 'shot after capture, under
the decree of Maximilian of October, 1865. and
made a lengthy speech on tho subject. He de?
nounced Maximilian, and said he should have boen
hung instead of shot. Ho also denounced the
Secretary of State, who, ho said, had given aid to
Maximilian by permitting him to buy arms in this
country. Mr. Fowler took tho same ground, call?
ing the Archduke a royal fiUibustcr. Mr. Johnson
was opposed to tho resolut ion, and believed that
the decree for wbiclt Maximilian was reviled waa
issued by the French Commanders. Mr. Nye fa?
vored the proposition, and said he always regard?
ed Mexico as naturally belonging to tho United
States. Ho claimed that Maximilian's interfer?
ence in Mexican affairs as the agont of Napoleon,
was made with thc view to aid the rebellion. The
further consideration of tho resolution was post?
poned. Mr. Roes offered a resolution relative to
Indian difficulties, which was ordorod to bo print?
ed. Tho Senate thou went into Executivo ses?
sion. When thc doors.woro reopened, Mr. Wade
called up tho House bill relieving from tho
charge of d?sertion those soldiers who loft their
commands after Lee's surrender. Objection was
made, and, ofter aomo discussion, the Senate de?
clined to consider tho bill. At 4 o'clock the Senate
took a recess until -7:30. On reassembling in tho
evening the Reconstruction Bill, as it passed the
House, was received and read. Mr, Trumbull ob
I jected to some of the amendments, and movod the
reference of the bill to tho Judiciary Committee.
A debate followed, some of the members favoring
immediate action on the amendments and others
desiring a Conference Committee. A motion to
ngn-concur in the House amendments, ai d asking
for a Committeo of Conference, was finally agroed
to. Mr. Suxunor called up his Universal Suffrage
Bill, which was read at length. After a longthy
debate, the Senate, by vote, declared the bill not
in order under tho rule, and refused to consider it,
and thereupon adjourned.
In the Hou.io Mr. Julian asked lcavo to intro?
duce a resolution directing tho Committeo on Re?
construction to roport a bill declaring foifcited to
tho United States all lands granted by Congress
in 1856 to Et. tos iu tho South for railroad pur?
poses, which grants had expired by limitation.
In the course of tho debate which ensued, it
was stated tb at Northern loyal men were deeply
interested iu Southern railroads, and such a bill
would operate against them. Tho resolution was
then modified so as to make it ono of inquiry re?
garding the roads of Mississippi, Alabama, Flori?
da and Louisiana, and, under a suspension of
tho rules, was adopted by a vote of 98 to 85.
Mr. Butler olfcred a resolution declaring that, in?
asmuch as thc Government of Louisiana was ille?
gal, no efficient means could bo adopted for re?
pairing the levees, and authorizing tho District
Commander to issue bonds for'tbo purpose of ob?
taining money for tho prosecution of such work.
The House refused to suspend tho rules, and tho
resolution was not received. Mr. Stovens, from
tho Reconstruction Committee, reported back tho
Reconstruction Bill received' from the Senate
with a few amendments, mostly verbal. Among
the new sections reported is 'ono directing that
nono of the officers of registration shall pay any
regard to the decisions or directions of the
Attornoy-General, or any other officer of tho Gov?
ernment, except as directed by Congress. Mr.
Robinson made a longthy speech in opposi?
tion to tho bill. Mr. Logan spoko in favor of it,
as did also Mr. Farnsworth and othors. Mr. Ste?
vens finally moved the previous question on tho
bul and the amendments, and tho House seconded
the motion. Mr. Stevens did not avail himself of
his privilego to closo tho debato, but called for
votes on the several amendments. Tho one referr?
ing to tho Attornoy-General was so modified as to
direct that commanding officers of military dis?
tricts and boards of registration shall not bo con?
trolled by tho opinion of any civil officer of the
United States, i ho other amendments wore then
agreed to, the bill was sent back to the Senate,
and the House adjourned.
At th evening sossiou a motion prevailed asking
the Scvretary of War what appropriations were ne?
cessary to cany out tho Reconstruction Law. Tho
Reconstruction Bill was reported back from the
Senate. A committee of con f even ce was appointed
and the House adjourned.

I have always recommended the Faber Polygrade
Lead Pencils as thu only pencils fitted for both ornamen?
tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough
trial of the American Polygrade Lead Pencils, man?
ufactured by tho American Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I find them superior to any pencil in use, even to
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pend!,
bein;,' a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead
pencil.
These pencils are very finely graded and have a very
smooth lead; even the solteat pencils bold the point well;
they are all that can bo desired in a pencil. It gives me
great pleasure to be able to assure Americans that they
will no long?r be compelled to depend upon Germany or
