STATE AGRICULTURA!, CONTENTION
SECOND DAI'S PROCEEDINGS.
ISPEOIAX TEL: ORAll TO TBS NEWS.)
COLOMBIA, April 29.-The Convention met
this morning. President Hagood in the chair.
Mr. Lawton submitted a report from tho Com?
mittee on Manufactures, on the communication
of Colonel Palmer, relative to the importance
of a general system of manufacturing and
pi on ts, to be derived from investments in cot?
ton milla.
The committee recommend its publication
and that it be recorded on the minutes of the
association. The committee flatter themselves
from the spirit manifested in this assembly, of
the practical ii telligence of the State, that tho
views and facts set forth by Colonel Palmer will
attract the earnest attention of the people of
South Carolina, and they regard the establish?
ment of manufactories in every section of tho
South as vitally associated with agriculture,
and to redound to the public welfare and pros?
perity. To grow our own cotton, the best in
staple and quality, and to couvert that same
into yarns aid fabrica for export, certainly ap?
pears to be the policy and the hope of the South,
if lessons of wisdom are to be taken from the
past. The report was adopted.
On motion of Colonel Thomas, Colonel
Palmer was requested to lay his communica?
tion before the Commercial Convention, to
meet in Memphis.
Mr. Boinest submitted the report of the
Committee on Emigration and Labor.
The oommittee say that there can be no con?
cealment of the fact that we are living under a
new and altered condition of affairs, and
though there be au honest difference of opin?
ion among our citizens as to whether this new
system be to the advantage of, or prejudicial
to, the interests of the country and the devel?
opment of the resources of the State, interest
and duty alike demand that we face the facts
in conformity with their stern demands. No
question ia perhaps of more importance to all
the material interests of the State than
that of labor, for without it of what avail
wHl be all the improvements in the mechanical
arts and agriculture. Under that ancient re?
gime, whoa the old Palmetto State enjoyed a
flood-tide of prosperity, there was an organi?
zation and an efficiency whioh crowned our
agricultural efforts with assured success; but
our altered circumstances demand an altered
basis of operations. Tb at labor is new in a
large measure disorganized and unreliable
may be in part attributed to the mistakes of
tbe agriculturists themselves in making the.
laborer a partner io the resuls of his labor, as
well as to his sudden altered condition-, and
the miserable influence of wily politicians.
What remains to ns must be made available to
the greatest possible extent, and what is then
wanting to supply the demand must be brought
to UB from the crowded domains of Europe,
whose hands are always now extended to
generous and hospitable America, ask?
ing among ns a home and a coun?
try. The oommittee deem it important to
to the availability and organisation of the
present class of laborers, upon whom we are
in the main now dependent, tbat there should
be as far as possible a uniformity of wages in
the matter of compensation to the laborer, and
an equitable and just fulfillment of all con?
tracts. Thj oommittee having adverted to the
fact tim - the present supply of. labor ia inade?
quate to the demand, the query arises how this
difficulty is to be met, and the answer is, by
the introduction of emigrante from abroad.
Tbe practical success of this remedy is fully
established by reference to what has
been already accomplished by the Emi?
gration Society of Newberry, whioh, with
a capital of a lew hundred dollars, after twelve
months' existence, and without a State appro?
priation to beck her, has already introduced
nearly three hundred emigrants into her own
and surrounding counties, and is now arrang?
ing for a much more extensive introduction of
laborers during the ensuing season. The la?
borers introduced are, with very few exceptions,
giving universal satisfaction to their em?
ployees. The committee hope thia will be the
nuoleus to gather to an indefinite extent an
industrious and honest class of laborers.
,. The report was adopted, and on motion the
oommittee was requested to report a plan
whereby the various sections of tbe State may
S7?? themselves of th? benefits of the New?
berry Immigration Society.
Mr. Pope submitted a report from the Com
mittce on the Constitution. The report was
taken op, the sections considerad and sepa
rately agreed to, and the constitution was
adopted as a whole.
On motion of Mr. Gilbert, a oommittee of
five was Appointed to keep up a correspondence
with influential persons in Germany, France,
England and other oountriet of Europe, on the
subject of immigration.
Mr. Thomas offered a resolution, whioh was
adopted, tbat the first annual fair be held in
Columbia od tho second Monday in November,
and the Executive Co.nmitleo be requested to
maleo all tho nocossary arrangements.
Tho following were elected members of the
Executive Committoe: Hon. John Townsend,
o? tit. John's CoUoton; A. G ri flin, of Abbeville;
W. S. lie (leroy, of Charleston; Edward Mackin?
tosh, of Society Hill; J. 13. Palmer, of Saluda;

[FROM OUR SPECIAL C0EBE8P0NDENT.]
COLUMBIA, S. C., April28,1869.-Tho attempt
of tho Radicals on Tuesday to carry the town?
ship eleotion, of whioh you have ali eady been
advised, carno very near being successful, so
artfully had the pioc been contrived. Under
tho law it is necessary to givo fifteen days' no?
tice of tho holding of the elections, and this
was done- by posting four handbills, one in
the city and three in out of the way places,
where they would only be seen by tho buzzards
and, perhaps, a passing locomotive. Tho
handbill posted in the city was torn down as
soon as it was put up-of course-, by accident
and the first intimation that tho citizens
had of the elections was the opening of
tho polls. Due notice had been given
in the Union League meetings, and in a few
minutes one hundred votes were polled. Of
the ono hundred, ninety-five were black and
five white. 8. L. H?ge, member of Congress,
so-called, was one of the five. Some of the
most' prominent and influential citizens at
once entered a protest against the holding of
tho elections. There was somo demur, but
the whole thing was at last knocked in the
head. The ticket proposed by tho Radicals
was as follows: Town Clerk, J. L. Ramfleld. Se -
leeLmen, Jos. Taylor, P. B. Nowell and Alex.
Williams. Constable, H. Mim*. Surveyor,
Jos. Winsor. All of these are negroes but
Winsor, and their- character may be
judged by tho fact that Taylor, one of their
number, declared that he?could not as a decent
colored man sit with them if he were elected.
Winsor is neither a negro, an Indian, nor a
coolie. The citizens will have fair notice when
the eleotions do come off, and will rout the
enemy as they wore routed in Marlon the other
day.
Joe Crews, who had an altercation with "the
Governor " because Leslie, of Barnwell, was
appointed Land Commissioner, was offered an
office worth $2500 a year, il he would only shut
up. In reply he said that he had already been
offered a place in Charleston " worth $3600 a
year and stealings,*' but even this was no com?
pensation for the loss of thwland commission
ership, whioh would have been worth to him,
he said, at least $20,000.
Under the new county offices system it will
cost about ten thousand dollars to collect the
taxes in Richland. Under the old regime it
cost about twenty-five hundred dollars.
The meeting of the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad Company, to be held to-morrow, is
likely to be a stormy one. Charleston must
watch the Greenville Road.
The ladies' fair opened to-nig^ht. It was a
bewildering confusion of pretty faces and mi?
raculous floral decorations. The tables wero

COLUMBIA, S. C., April 28, 1869.-To-day
will mark another great event for Columbia.
It is estimated that over two thousand visitors
are at the State capital. The streets i
thronged with lively crowds, and the oity h is a
a metropolitan appearance. All the hotels are
put to their severest test for accommodations,
Both Nickerson's and the new hotel look this
evening as if illuminated. Over four hundred
sat down at the tables to-day at Nickerson's.
It has also been somewhat of a reunion oi the
substantial and venerable men of the State
men of historical reputation. Among them
are ex-Governors Bonham, Perry and Orr,
General James Chesnut, formerly United
States senator, and many others whose fami
har features remind us of glorious old South
CaroLna. Their presenoe brings up recollec?
tions, that can never be forgotten, of men who
for years, as representatives of a once happier
people, adorned our legislative halls and were
the recognized leaders of the people. - The
movement that brought them together has
been a most auspicious one, and successful
beyond the moat sanguine expectations.

On motion of Mr. J. P. Reed. Mr. T. G. Clem?
son, President of the Farmer's Society of Pen?
dleton, was aided to the list of members.
During the absence of the Committee on
Nominations for permanent omoers, the tem?
porary P esident.Mr. W. M. Lawton, ad tressed
tbs.Convention, and alluded to the ?ate report
of the United States Agricultural Bureau
Ss a most valuable work, and prepared,
he e nid, wi h great fairnea? and impartiality.
lt would be gratifying to the people of old
South Carolina to leam that one of the most
wonderful improvements of tbs age, that from
? .:' ,..v'V'"'v, <' . " .
hie experience and observation of ita workings
during the past year in England, was destined
to work a great revolution in the cultivation of
the soil-the steam plough-was the invention
of Mr. li. C. Bollinger, ot South Carolina, No
vember 19,1833. From this derided;State of
South Carolina, wbich, it is said elsewhere,
had no industry and no inventive power,
emanated that extraordinary implement whioh
was orcating such a revolution iu agriculture.
So closely connected now are all thc operations
of mechanism with agriculture, t hat it deserv?
ed their attention, and he thought Iiis oountry.
as '.vc!I ?B England*, and particularly she South?
ern country iu its agricultural procreas, is des?
tined to embark largely hereafter 4*andi ma?
chinery. From some cause this invention of
Mr. Bellinger's had never been brought into
notice here.
Mr. Reed also directed attention to tho faot
that in the same report it would be found that
tho latest machinery of this kind in use was
Mr. Bellinger's, notwithstanding tbe numer?
ous inventions of others. They were at last
obliged to como back upon that und acknowl?
edge that no botter had been invented. Mr.
Lawton said in his interviews with Mr. Fowler,
the manufacturer in England, thai gentleman
bad admitted this, and ho had introduced the
samo thing into New York and other Northern
States.
After the election of permanent offlcors,
General Hagood, on beiDg coudftctod to the
chair, was received with warm applause, and
at the conclusion of his address Rev. Dr. E. T.
Buist offered up the following invocation :
"Oh, thou great and eternal God, Father of
our spirits, former of our bodies 1 we adore
and praise and blets Thy great and holy name.
We pray Thee to be wita us in this enterprise.
Take, care, guide, direct and influence otu*
minds. God Almighty bless the State. Pros?
per it and bless its agriculture arid alt the ef?
forts of those engaged in this work. May
great good and wise results be brought about.
and unto the Father, Son and Holy Spirit shall
be the praise now and henceforth and forever.
Amen."
Au?en indication of the fooling and sympathy
of thc Convention, the motion ot Mr. Wallace,
of Richland, to adopt as the rules to govern
the body thoso existing in the House of Rep?
resentatives, in 1860, was greeteel with almost
unanimous applause, but on motion of Mr.
Reed, the rules of 1866 were adopted.
In reply to the preamble and resolutions
introduced by Mr. Wallace, relative to the un?
scrupulous adventurers now in coi tro 1 of the
Slate, and for the appointment of a committee
to prepa e au address, urging the introduction
of a reliable and efficient-?lass of laborers, Mr.
A. A. Gilbert, of Sumter, spoke as follows :
Afr. President andQ-ntUmen of the Conoen
Uon-1 rise, with a great deal of hesitation, to
make a remark which comes spontaneously to
my mind, touching this matter. It occurs to
me that, however true may be the language
therein and however much we may feel in oar
hearts, it is true yet, at this period, this partic?
ular juncture ana crisis in oar affairs, it is im?
poli tic to bring that subject prominently and
forcibly forward io connection with the actings
and doings of the Agricultural Convention.
When we are gradually coming up to the work
-I throw it out - I have mo doubt that
the intelligence of this body will readily
discover other thoughts.* Our syetom of labor
as it now exists in this country and in this
State, however crippled, however demoralized,
however under bad influence, is yet, at least
for the time being, all the labor that we have,
separate and apart from that which comos
trom the bone and sinew of our arms, lt oc?
curs to me that anything introduced here tend?
ing to disturb or distract that labor, or to ex?
cite thoso who control that elemeut. might irri?
tate that element m an agricultural sense, and
do us a serious injury. k
The colored man, to some extent, we hope,
is emerging from those baneful influences
which so demoializod and rendered him unfit
tor the duties of a laborer. lt..seems to me
that a movoment of tbiu sort would but tend
to give thoso who now control t\)o colored man
still greater influence. We mask use this ele?
ment until we can SUDORI y *Jm\g' We may
look abroad and see UieusancTe^irud minions oi
men who might be brought to our region, and
might effectually occupy the places of the
colored laborers; bat they are,not hero; they
are yet to be brought here. Those appliances
and influence s which are necessary are yet to
be put in operation. It is yet a question
whether, with all the vigor we may be enabled
to put forth io that -direction, we can, in any
short period of time, obtain a force from abroad
that would be adequate for the wants of the
oountry.
Mr. T. W. Woodward, of Fairfield,thought this
discussion premature, and moved that the
preamble and resolutions be retened to the
Committee on Resolutions, together with all
other kindred resolutions and memorials.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. D. Wyatt Aiken said it seemed to him
that the next step for this organization was to
secure for itself a constitution and by-laws.
He did not nuderstand how they were to tefl
what this body ls, whether it was an organ?
ization or not. They should have a list ol
members. It was questionable whether they
would get citizens to sign-any hst unless they
knew tho organization. It was necessary there?
fore to draft a constitution and by-laws for
the government of the Agricultural Society
of the State. How were they to test
its permanency or lo proceed to make
the most or it? They had commenced
by electing officers of a society, call it by what
name they pleased. It is meant to include
Bvery practicable interest of South Carolina,
not only agricultural, bot mechanics, an i emi?
lia t ion, and labor, and every possible art and
science by whioh tho interests of (South Caro?
lina may be benefltted. Every possible science
that would tend to develops the resources ol
the State should have the legitimate considera?
tion of thc sosiety. It was necessary to pro
seed to draft a constitution and by-laws.
Some further discussion ensued as to the
ib] oct and intent of the call for a convention tc
[brm an agricultural society, whioh was partici?
pated in by General Gary, Maj jr J. P. Thom
?a and Mr. T. W. Woodward.
General Gary said he did not believe the
3' ate of South Carolina had been destroyed bj
the war, but thought she had retained her in?
tegrity as a State. Nor did he believe that thc
Misfortunes whioh bad unhappily befallen
South Carolina in the last fonr years, although
they nay have swept away a great many of bei
political tenets, had destroyed the State Agri
miturai Society. He believed that society
itill in existence. He had never heard of iu
iissolntion. It was simply necessary to revive
md Toting to life the operation of the society.
Lt was. he understood, a chartered sociot3
hat held personal and real estate, and if the;
lid not meet under that society it was wei1
>nough to know it. The position they had
ilways taken was, that the State of Soutb
karolina ie South Carolina yet. They ma]
lave been overrun by war and the operattout
it the society ware suspended, but he did not
bink it become them to say, it has been anni
lilaled. For that reason he thought all they
iad sal 3 and done was not only logically bul
egally correot.
The resolutions of Mr. Aiken and Mr. Boin
Mt, relative to ? constitution and by-laws
vere then referred to the Committee on Reao
u tiona.
Mr. Lawton stated that he had recently been
?xploring the immense phosphate beds on th?
kahley River, upon whioh money was being
ixpended by Northern capitalists. The de
?osi?? appeared to be inexhaustible, and ht
anticipated the most wonderful results. Tbe>
were bringing mechanical inventions, some yi
t rude nature, to wash out these rocky tossUa
whioh were being transported North, convert
id into soluble matter, and returned to ?doutt
karolina tor manures. He had always btet
inposed to allowina the production of oottor
lo monopohze and divert the attention of oui
acoplo from other pursuits. He had recentl]
Deceived sn order from Eui ope Ihr an ariieli
whioh he learned for the first time had beei
found in North Carolina, end which, it Wii
laid, was designed to supersede the ordin?r;
White lead BO universally a sod. He desiree
to draw the atten.ioo of our noonie to all the*
frreai resources of their State.' He also de
sired that tho people should avail thomselvu
nf those privileges whioh God Almighty seem
bo have granted, in so wonderful amount, t<
South Carolina. Ha alluded to the other nu
morona inventions made in South Carolina be
tides Bellinger's steam plough, and arnon)
them the dredging machino, whioh was nov
being used verv* gestera?V at th? North ant
Biso wh ero. He spoke of a northern gent lem ai
who stopoed, not long ago, at Columbus, Qa,
where be wai shown one of the finest mann
Botones in the South. They even msuufao
bured, for ladies' dresses, a laud ot gingham
A letter from General Lee waa shown, aoknowl
edging tho receipt of somo ginghams marni
feet, ?ired there. General Lee s tid his ?mil
had made it up into dresse* and were wearin
it, and no silks or any other dress would be s
well suited to his views as this article main
lectured in the Southern country. They mm
look to something beyond cotton, and ohango
their trout. To get emigration they must give
genial employment to laborers, give them good
food, the potatoes, wheat flour, ?co., to which
they bad been accustomed. The Eui opea is
are not accustomed to corn bread.
Mr. Walloo* said he did not wish to rovivo
the old agricultural society. His opinion was
against it. There is an act of tho Legislature
which imposes eertain obligations upon all as?
sociations chartered by the State. He thought
it would be injurious to them.
OE T?otioc of Governor Orr, Colonel John B.
Palmer, President of the Vaucluse Manufac?
turing Company, was invited to give his views,
which he had prepared, relative to tho manu?
facture of cotton and cotton fabrics.
At the conclusion of (he rodding of this
flaper, tho convention, after returning thanks
o Colonel Palmer for his able document, took
a recess to four o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention reassembled at 4 P. M.,
President Hagoodin the chair.
General Gary submittoJ his report on the
resolutions of Messrs. Aiken and Boinest, and
stated that the committee ascertained that tho
charter of tho old society expires in 1870, and
that on inquiry whether the society owned any
real estate, they found that it only exercised a
permissive right from tho City Council of
Columbia so long as they used the ground set
apart to them for agricultural purposes.
Mr. Aiken read from the acts of 1855 and
1856, to show that the charter of the old socie?
ty expires in August, 1869.
The report of the committee was then
adopted.
I should have announced that the Standing
Committee on Education was appointed on
motion of Mr. Clemson, of Pendleton, son-in
law of John C. Calhoun. He made a brief but
very eloquent speech on the subject, saying
tbeto could be no prosperity, no advance,
no civilization without education, and he would
make a scientific education gradual but obli?
gatory.
Mr. Henerey, of Charleston, also accompa?
nied his report with an earnest and able speech.
He urged that the people of the State do not
fully appreciate tho importance ot having their
work done at home. Tho habit of going
abroad is so strong that the planter seldom
takes the trouble to inquire whether what he
wants con be done in Charleston or any other
part of the State. As a consequence the me?
chanics are almost statving, and the money
spent amongst our opponents abroad. Let
our people try them, and they will get tue best
machines, and it not satisfactory, can always
make the home manufacturer responsible. He
hoped this movement would awaken our people
to the importance ot their mechanical imple?
ments being manufactured at home.
Mr. Henerey's remarks wore loudly applaud?
ed. He was followed by Mr. Lawton, who
spoke In high terms of the service rendered
by the preceding speaker during the war, abd
his manufacture of percussion caps, ?fee.
THE CUBAIN REVOLT.
Chances ox* lt? Success-Contradictory
Report?.
The news iii regard to the prospecta of th j
Cuban insurrection continues very conflicting.
From New York we learn that the Cubans
there are in in high glee over the news that
the Mexican Congress has authorized President
Juarez to recognize the insurgents as bellige?
rents whenever he may^deem it judicious to
do so; also, that Mexican ports are to be open
to tho Cuban flag. The immediate result of
this action, they say, will bo the placing of
several privateers in commission to look after
Spanish merchantmen in the West Indies. On
thc other hand, the correspondent of the
World, who oah hardly be suspected of par?
tiality for the Spanish cause, telegraphs from
Washington under dato of Monday night as
follows:
There is authority for stating that the Span?
ish envoy to this country esteems the rebellion
in Cuba as substantially at an end. That this
ia too sanguine an announcement is generally
believod here, but that serious reverses have
been suffered by the insurgents is admitted
and known. Mr. Roberta deel ires that within
sixty days there will not be a man in arms
against tho authorities, and that Qeneral Prim
will find the situation pacific on his arrival. It
seems that the Captain-General has had about
thirty thousand men under arms, an i they are
steadily advancing and repossessing the inte?
rior country. The legation hore view the insur?
rection as oonoluded, and anticipate a proclama?
tion of clemency in a few days, which will se?
cure the adhesion of those who yet feebly hold
out. On the other hand, the agents of the in?
surgents, while they are depressed, are not
hopeless, and they give out that substantial rea?
son exists to believe that the rebellion may yet
more vigorously revive than ever, owing to
the toot that the con ceded occupation of the
interior districts by the authorities will con
o nt rate the insursent torces more effectively.
It is now competent to state that an expedi?
tion has been in process of organization for
some time; that if has offices in Philadelphia,
this oity, and New York; that several hundred
men in the first and last cities have been en?
rolled, and that a regular regimental classifi?
cation has been agreed upon-at least on pa?
per-one of the fighting McCook family being
stated to be in command. That expedition
will or was to depart from Charleston. What
complexion the present news will east upon the
enterprise cannot be foretold. It ls believed,
ho.vevor, th ht it will delay it, and most proba?
bly disband it altogether. The great difficulty
.the insurgents have experienced has arisen
from three causes : Tho property men have
been against them; they cannot bay arms, hav?
ing neither money nor a market, and their
emancipation burst has tailed, tho negroes pre?
ferring to remain at labor than muster into
regiments.
