Proceedings-Fall rtcport by illaU. [FIIOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, 8. C., April 29.-ID th? State Agricultural Convention this morning, on tbo subjeot of cotton mills and manufactories, Mr. Lawton, of Charleston, after presentation of tho roport ot tho Committee on Manufactures, adverting to his investigation of tho subject in England, Franoo and Germany, alluded to ibo vast wcaith accumulated in those coun? tries from the manufacture of cotton fabrics. No ono, ho said, who had not visited those countries and tho New Eu gland States could well conceive tho vast importanco of the groat staple of tho south to the nations of tho earth. The conclusion he drew from all he saw was that we had not availed ourselves of thoso great Erivilegcs which Almighty God appeared to ave designed for us. Wo havo all tho material necessary for tho fabrication of goods that tho world requires, and yet wo confine ourselves entirely to its production. They could not expect any people to rise to eminence or distinction who solely confino themselves to on? pursuit, whether it bo digging gold from the earth or pearls from the ocean. It is utterly inconsistent with the order of affairs. It does not appear to belong to otu: creation. No two faces look, no two leaves look alike in nature. The commands of God appear to order that we must diversify, chang? and adapt tho means of prosperity that other people do. He thought th? production of cotton alone bad boen our ruin, and he main? tained that if these ten Southern States paid botter attention to manufactures abd meehan - icism they never could havo been subdued. The Southern States were crushed by the whole power of the world. Thos-j they were reeding with their cotton oamo against them. Tho rate of interest in Liverpool was two per cent, per annum. In his own city, Charleston, when he left in August last, it was two and a balf per cent, a month, and very difficult to be ob? tained at that. He told them in Englaud that they had taught him a lesson, and when he went home he would endeavor to persuade his poople to grow less cotton and manufacture as muchas they could. Two or three days ago when he saw drays going through the streets loaded with cotton marked Granitevillo, he was inspired with hope, anl mt?ny ot them he trusted would yee se? th? day when onr cotton manufactures will compete in th? markets of the world with those of France, Germany and England. Mr. Lawton then gave an interesting ac? count of a visit to the great spool thread man factory of Mr. Coats, in Scotland. Their buildings, he said, occupy an immonse space. The proprietors are gentlemen of refinement and taste. He was conducted through every department of that immense manufacturing establishment. Tney have tho most beautiful machinery, perfect engines, and every possible means of turning tho thread. They don't ns? raw cotton. They buy their yarns chiefly in Bolton and Manchester. I observed to Mr. Coats that bis yarn had boen familiar to me from my early life. To Bhow the immense wealth acoum mutated by these people. Mr. Lawton said they employ sixteen hundred hands in one day. Twas con? ducted through Mr. Coats' magnificent green house and his hot-house, where they had plants from ?very portion of God's earth. Among others was the glorious o!d palm jtto. They wer? enabled to socad upon thee? hot-houses and green-houses ?30,000 sterling, or $200.000. I suggested to Mr. Goats that the tim? is coming when the t?o -.th must eugag? largely in manufactures, and told him if he would come to Columbia and use some of his capital we would furnish him with th? best cotton he wanted. Our people must diversify their la? bor it they desire to have a position among the nations of the earth; organizo companies and establish ootton manuf actories, ana they will bring wealth, social position, and also bring us back to what old "South Carolin: was once. Mr. Baxter, of Newberry, in response to the invitation ot th? Convention, gav? some inter? esting information of the workings of the New beiry Emigration Society. He paid a high compliment to General John A. Wagoner, and Bald he was instrumental in turning the atten? tion of these people to the matter of emigra? tion. They were already impressed with the necessity of an increased amount of labor, but it was found wh-illy impracticable to avail themselves of any arrangement made by the State through General Wagoner, as head of the Emigration Burean. A number of gentle? men contributed a small amonnt of money, to be drawn out as each subscriber desired labor. The money has been turned ever numerous times in bringing forward between two and three hundred laborers. Each member of the sooie! y pays in fifty dollars, but can take more shares if he desires. The money is used to bring the laborers, who in time return it to the society. They had now in their employ an educated German, Mr. Briggoman, who speaks four or five languages, ana has procur? ed facilities they never had before. Tho society has a credit, as an emigration society, in New York. It is known that laborers com? ing to us will be oared for on the way and when they reach here, and oared for until they get employment. So that the agents in New York feel no' hesitation in sending any laborers tp th? society, because they know they will not return with complaints of ill usage or want of attention. The society is doing a good work and making a reputation. They bad now or? ders on file from General Beauregard, desiring laborers to be sent to him through our sooiety, to tb? State of Texas. They have more orders than they can fill. This sooiety is a nucleus around which might cluster kindred and auxiliary societies to corry out a great purpose. He did not know that this body could turn its attention to a more important subjeot than that of procuring an increased supply of labor. He did not care where it oame from, whether from Germany, Great Britain, New York; or Massachusetts, so that it comes here as labor, bringing tb? capi? tal and muscle. Dr. E. B. Turnipsecd, of Newberry, con? curred in the statements of his colleague, and added that he had a number of Germans on his place. They were good farmers, easy to learn, and assimilate with oar people, kind to animals, and it was just the labor to suit their country. It had gone abroad that negroes only are adapted to our country. This was a great mistake. The Germans stood the beat as well, if not better, than the negro. * Mr. Boinest said he introduced the first tor* eign labor into Newberry Distriot after the war. He became satisfied, after two or three years, that tho laborers he was then working would not succeed, and a little more than a twelve month ago he wrote to a friend-a mis? sionary among tho emigrants at Castle Gar? den-to secure him a good German family for his place. This was the beginning of the emi? gration sooiety. He divided his farm into three sections, and put two sections io charge of colored labor?is respectively. The thud he gave to the Germans. Bis experience was that the white laborer was at work every day, doing everything or anything he was asked or re? quired to do. The negro contended that he had nothing to do not immediately connected with the working or gathering of the crop. This was the beginning, and the result has been th? formation of the Newberry Sooiety, to which he had given twelve months' hard work in bringing it to its present condition. The Newberry Sooiety has a credit at the Labor Ex? change, Castle Gardon, io New York, which iff would be difficult for any other organization to J secare. Tho agent there said he would enter? tain no application from the Southern country, unless it carno endorsed through the Emigra? tion Society of Newberry. 1 It was with no little trouble wo secured this endorsement. They were very carefu'. They had sent tome to Flo* rids and made * grand failure. Emigrants sent there and elsewhere were badly treated, and made their way back as bast they oould. The Newberry Society has no such name to bear at headquarters, but stand'recorded A No. 1, and they have taken hold or us by the hand, and bid us welcome and God-speed. Tn order to secuto all available labor that will come South they have even enclosed a sep?rate apartment where all the families thal want to com? South are put, in order to prevent them being tam? pered with, for there are shark* who witt steal them if they oan. They stole twenty-five from ns, with all the watobra noss and cars I took, the very dayl was embarking them on board the ship. J In regard to the compensation, ten dollars a month and rations is usually allowed each la? borer. The amount for rations differ* ; Aome allow as high as eight or ten dollars a month tor ration?, and of course, the 'better you pay them the better they are satisfied, and work better. Mr. J. P. Thomas Introduced the following : Whereat, It is deemed important to put this society into effective operation at an early pe riod. and at onco to place before ils members an object practical and substantial; be it Resolved, That the Executive Committee ba authorized to raise the necessary funds, by subscription or otboi wiso, for the purpose of erecting in this city buildings necessary for tho annual fairs of the society. Resolved, That tho first annual fair of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina bo hold in Columbia on thc second Wednesday in November, and that the Execu? tive Committee be requested to make all ne? cessary arrangements to this end. Mr. Thomas said : Mr. President-On vosterday T must confess that 1 somewhat despaired ot the success of this movement. It seemed to me that tiic dis? cussions indulged in were somewhat wide of the mark. But tho indications and developments this morning havo cheered mo, and induced tho belief that this enterprise will be prose? cuted with success. 1 am one, sir, who have confidence in our people and faith in tho fu? ture. Wisely adapting ourselves to the new order of things and availing oursolves of the elements at our command, I believe it possible io pince tho prosperity of our State upon a basis more firm an 1 durable than that upon which it formerly rested. But this, sir, cannot be accomplished by the putting forth of ab truse propositions "or the simple adoption of resolutions. More than tbe eloquonco of words we neod the eloquonoe of action; more thau the wealth ot' inteDeot we need tho wealth that springs from material development. Mr. Pres? ident, to obtain success in this movement, and tu help on the industrial regeneration of the State, wo must adopt practical instrumen? talities. Sir, the human mind is so constituted as to require something real, something tangi? ble, to arouso its enthusiasm, to quicken its energies. Hence my proposition at once to erect your buildings, and at once to hold your fairs. Let this be done, and we form a nucleus around wbioh our efforts may gather, and from which vitality may flow. If we expect to succeed we must raise tho funds necessary, and go at once to work. Mr. President, when the temporary chair? man stated that the life of the State rested upon this con rention, ho stated what was true. Lot us resolve to make this movement a suc? cess, to the end that we may bring back to tao State aa era of prosperity and plenty. Sir, when the poet says : "Thy spirit, independence, let me shore Lord of the lionheart and eagle eye," bc expressed a sentiment that finds a response in every elevated nature. Now, sir, if we would catea that spirit, if wo would reach the height or a lofty independence, we must go through temples resounding with the hum of machinery, and pass on through fields white with cotton and waving with grain. Gentlemen of tho Convention, in the provi? dence of God the political cross has been laid upon our shoulders, and we rest under the ostracism of our own oountry. But God has given us great natural advantages-has given us a genial climate and a teeming soil. Brave? ly working and wisely using the elements within our grasp, we can mould them to the enduring interests of the State, and make the future of South Carolina prosperous as her past is rich in the noble devotion of her men and the matchless spirit of ber women. Mr. President, I nope the Convention will entertain the resolutions. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. J. S. Richardson, Jr., in behalf of the commit! eo to draft a constitution and by-laws, bubmittod the report of committee. Un motion of Mr. .Chesuut, the report was taken up, considered by- sections, ana the fol? lowing adopted as the constitution of the Agri? cultural and Mechanical Society of South Caio Ima : SECTION 1.

Gilbert, of Sumter, introduced the following resolution for the purpose, be said, of drawing out expressions' from the planting interest here upon a matter whioh very vital? ly concerns our agriculture : Resolved, That it ii.' the sense of this Con? vention that the experience of the past three Sears, with the present element ot labor, bsa emonstrated the impiaoticability of any sys? tem of shares or partnership-that such systems are in fact contrary to the fondamental principles which underlie the successful co? operation of capital and labor-and that a judicious and liberal system of wages is be? lieved to lie the only one upon which effective labor may be baaed and ultim te success follow, Mr. Thomas boped tbe resolution would not be adopted. He regarded it as a matter which should be left to tho discretion of every gen? tleman himself. He moved to lay the resolu? tion on the table.

Gaillard, Gilbert, Baxter and Hol? loway, the motion to lay on the table was re? newed by Mr. Baxter, and decided in the af matlve.

GRANT ANT* HIS FRIENDS. Dana makes a forcible application thoa : "Suppose that it had been discovered and proved, during the hunt after Andrew Johnson, that he had appointed persons to office who had bestowed on him valuable gifts, would not the impeachment trial have had a difieren? re? sult ?" Several men who wrote to the President ir favor of the appointment of friends have beer astonished at receiving unsolicited commis eious themselves. The mystery was solved by the fact that they dosed their letters by saying. "I have the honor to subscribo myself," &o. it being the rule to Rive all subscribers some thing. The Washington Chronicle nays : "One o: the most interesting sights visible occasional!} in pur streets hi the miniature 'establishment of Miss Nellie Grant, daughter of the Presi dent, consisting of a pretty little baake barouche drawn by a diminutive pair of Shet land ponies. On the front seat, Miss Nellie, ii a becoming spring suit, holds the whip ant reins gracefully, while, perohed behind, a col 0 red footman, sitting bolt upright with iolde< arms, surveys the curious gazers on eithe side of the street with dignified satisfaction." The correspondents say that the Presiden is becoming crusty, suspicious, morose ant chronically unhappy. His body and mind art both suffering. He finds the presideney to large for him. That is the whole mattel Bis health is not good. He baa had to shut ni shop six times already in as many weeks. Ht is losing flesh. Visitors complain of hit brusqueness, and many ot them of bis temper Every day at 4 o'clock he runs off for a rid and a smoke, and he has wholly stopped visit ora of nights. These be spends with his house hold in the private family rooms of the Ex eec tive mansion. The few admitted there apeak c him as giving the appearance of being thor oughiy fagged ouUBjt each day's round c work.

There is a legion of discontented Rspubti cans in Washington. Cameron openly says "Without taking my advice tho President an Secretary of Otate succeeded in giving- a coi stitntional drunkard a good mission, and 1 constitutional thief a consulate, besides oredi lng Pennsylvania with a Secretary of tb Navy who baa suooseded within six weet in ridding tho party of every workini man's vote.

Boas, Fowler and Brownlow hat openly broke with the President, and Spragx says : "Hs bi utterly tied np by the po lil elana; I have no hope of him: I have donarte from him." Mr. Edmunds takes pams to ant the President on every occasion, and Ge nor Butler said whan Graut caved on the tonur of-office question : "Tho President doest know anything more about law than an o hen, and any ons can wind bini aro und L fingers." . .llv/t:tM> Stymal lotices. j?y CITADEL SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH.

What disease is, sometimes eludes human intelli? gence, but some diseases are known-their origin, tction and even their antidotes. Whoever has dis? covered an actual remedy for one disease, has done something for hts race. Doctor Ayer has done more, for bia medicines afford us the means to control and :ure several dangerous disorders. We rarely speak sn medical aubjeote, preferring to leave them to physicians, who understand them better. But such affects as are seen in our midst, on affections of the lungs by AY ER'S OHERRY PECTORAL, on scrofu? lous complaints by his SARSAPARILLA, and on the several complaints that they cure by AVER'S PILLS, should not be ignored.-Keokuk Jow.i) Journal.

SST WH AT IS A TONIC ?-BEAR THIS IN mind-that although a tonic is, to a certain extent, a stimulant-a stimulant, unmodified by any medi? cinal subrUnce, ls not a tonio, but a d?bilitant. In HOSTET! ER'S STOMACH BITTEBS there is a stimulating element of the purest grade manufac? tured in thia or any other country. Every fiery and corrosive oil or acid which contaminates the ordi? nary liquors of commerce, is expelled from the rye spirit which forms the alcoholic basue of the BIT? TERN, by careful and repeated recantation, The juices of the valuable roots, barks and herbs, infused into this wholesome product of the finest grain, still further modify ita nature; so that lt becomes, in fact, a simple diffusive agent, minta all the heady and brain exciting properties which belong, more or less, to all liquors in a raw state. It is merely the aato and harmless veblole which renders the medi? cinal virtues of the preparation effective-Increasing their active power, and diffusing them through the system. Hence the pleasant and gentle glow which la experienced aftei taking a dose of the BITTEB9. Instead of creating headache, as unmedlcated stim? ulants are apt to do, this salubrious tonic is the best known nomo.y for that complaint. It caima and soothes cerebral excitement, strengthens the nerves, 'promotes the secretion of the gastric juice, invigo? rates the bowels, determines the fluids to the sur? face, improves the appetite, increases the animal vigor, regulates organic action, and, from its mild yet effective alterative qualities, ls the very best preparation that can be administered to the weaker sex In tbe peculiar difficulties to which their organi? zation sui J acta them.
