Where ? Where shall be thc resting-place Of this weary frame or mine? Umler palm trees in the South t Under lindens by the Rhine ! Shall I In some desert lie, Covered by a stranger's hand ? Or upon the barren beach Of an ocean, in the sand ? All ls one, for here or there Heaven shall bend around my bed; And at night the stars shall hang Funeral lamps above the dead. [From the German of Heine. PLAIN WORDS FOR THE TIMES. THE REAL INTERESTS OF THE LABORING MEN. Who Give the Vote? ?nd "Who Enjoy the Offices. TO TUE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. It would bc well for all those who claim the thc name of "laborers" as exclusively their own, to watch weil the benevolent Howards who are professing to do so much for them. Watch them well, my good friends, for they intend you no good, and will wind up the whole business as the spider does the fly. Inquire particularly whether in their pri? vate lives they devote much- of their time or money to schemes ol' benevolence, to improve the condition of those around them. Do they seek out the poor and give of their substance to relieve them ? Do they seem to find pleas? ure in ailing their fellow men with their time or their lioney ? If so, respectant! love them they deserve your contidence and will never betravyoj. if, on the other hand, they arc liquor swillcrs and idlers, carefully keeping their own hands from rho work they require ol' others, then be sure Io icatch, them-they are nothing but spiders singing songs to the flies ! The plain people of the country are very con? fiding, too apt to trust in all the professions that are made to them. Ii they will take the ad? vice of an old soldier in the bat.les of the world, they will trust in none of them any farther than they are proven by corresponding works. If these associations are good for nothing else, they are capital ropes to tie np the voters at the time of an election, and then, my good friends, who is elected ? Will it be the com? mon laborers who get the lat offices ? Not a bit of it ! But their heads will do for the be? nevolent office-hunters to walk upon, in order to get them for themselves. Watch, as well as ?rav, for you are in danger ol being cut up for sh* bait The Union Leagues answered very well for this for awhile. It was admirable to see how the freedmen and their white allies were tied together and marched to the polls, where they were taught they would all be ruined ll they did not vote the ticket with the pictures on it. Well, they voted lt, and when they looked around afterwards they found their benevolent advisers all snugly In office-some with a sal? ary of five thousand dollars a year, some with six dollars per day, and so on, down to one dollar and a half. Now comes another set of spiders and tell the flies all this did them no good-(very true !)-that they are still in dan- , ger-must have another election and put down the "capitalists"-those cruel monsters that won't poy the laborers, as they say. They pro? pose now to have another lino t?iiic of it. Rome more offices are wanted, and as the League is played out, it will be best to change the "hame and call it an "Association," to take care ol the laborers ! Who is lt. my friends, who have suddenly awaked to the duty of supplying your wants ? Has any one of them ever supplied your wtfcts heretofore ? If not, be sure to walch them-they want your votes, and the whole matter will end by giving them fat offices, and they will leaveyou to "flounder in the mud, as they did when they had you lied up in the Leagues. We were told that the "Leagues'' were to save thc Ualon-very good things, so far as that went-but if you will look around you will find they have "saved" the speech-makers, and no one else. If the freedmen will feel iu their pockew they will find not a single dollar that has been put there by the men they voted f:?,"and they never will. They all see this now. and aro done willi thc Leagues. Old rats wfll be cautions about trusting any more to thc same cats that have once deceived them. The name of "cat" won't answer the purpose any longer-calling it "Association," perhaps they will go into the trap again. This simile will do carry a little further. What would become of thc private numbers, if they were all caged up, like rats, and put under the care of the cats t Now it will be well to look about cautiously, and see if some? thing of this sort is not in the wind. Once put your name in their hands, and then you are fairly roped, to be carried wherever the cats choose to carry you. The war taught us many a useful lesson, and one of them is, not io "volunteer" too soon; for vor will SOOD find you have become a slave, and must consent to be kicked about by the officers as they choose, or be shot. This ls "volunteering," as many a poor fellow fourni out to his sorrow: for some of them were shot by the orders of their own dear officers, for no other crime than wanting to see for a few days their own suffering wives and children. This ls the consequence of permitting yourself to be tied up in civil- or military associations. You are then no longer at liberty to make your own contracts, with those who wish to em? ploy you, but you must consult the "rules" to see whether you may not be violating them in \ dolrg so. If you are an honest man, yon will ? abide by those rules, even if you have to suf? fer greatly; but are you sure that others will do so, too? And if they do not, tho effect will be, that whilst they act all thc work they : want, upon terms which "have not trans- ] plrcd," you must Ile still and groan with want, j rather than falsify a pledge, which others may use only as a screen for underhand trans? actions, fi ill of profit to those who would not permit you to take the same terms openly. 1 This is barely possible-look you to it. Many years ago, a wily old merchant, in the , goodness and honesty of his heart, advise^} a i young beginner in the same village thar it ' would be best for them to hold certain articles ' at a fixed price, and that neil her store should 1 sell for any less. This was agreed to. What < followed excited thc curiosity of the young i merchant, for he found his old adviser sailing , out his stock very fast, whilst his own re- , malned on his shelves. The fact was that t??c venerable oki cheat, bavin? fixed thc prices 1 'for his young friend, went right oil'arni put his own down below them, and in this way was I taking all the custom to himself. There ls , nothing new under the sun. and honest men , had best look about before they subscribe to pledges that will prevent them from making 1 any contracts they please, independent ot 1 the censures of any society whatever. Secondly. So far as the mechanical employ- ; 'icciS are concerned, it would be well for tbA.;e "associations" to have a large infusion of thc colored element, or the business will fall entirely into their hands. The whites must have the colored mechanics pledged, or they will lind that white labor can be very i easily dispensed with. There will be a very large crack remaining open, if the field ls lett free to them. Indeed, nothing could happen so weU for them as for the white mechanics to bind themselves up by "rules," so that they would In all cases have" to consult them before they could go to work, leaving the colored , man free to get work when and how he pleased. , Now, will the two races unite, cordially, for mutual protection-will either race sincerely 1 believe that thc other cares very much tor any ! : but themselves-and would it be good policy for one to act without the other ? ' , This question, however, is not exclusively , for the mechanics, it is for thc dear field labor- " ors also; they are more numerous, and have : more votes. Take care of their rights, in? deed! It is said that .-onie have grown rich I by distributing thc charities of others amongst 1 thc poor. We are sure thal all those who have recently shown so much interest in the labor? er have met with an equal good fortune. All these apostolic missionaries sent to us from : the North are either now safely seated in lat offices or arc trying to get them. The word '.all" may be too comprehensive. There are ' some unpretending, unobtrusive ministers of the Gospel, whose humble and useful lives : should protect them from being included In so general a remark. The politicians form the class these reflections are Intended to tall upon. They have como hereto plumier the people, and it ls impossible to find In timm ' anything bul schemes to plunder both blacks anil whites, and nothing could serve Hu ir pur? poses better than to get them picdj/cd in any form of association. Unco the holler is lieu, they know well enough how to manage the rest so that everything will run into their own pockets. Will the people, both white ami colored.be wise, and keep thc management of their own business 'n their own hands ? Thirdly, a good deal has boen said about "capiuilists"-South Carolina "capitalists" the necessity for protecting tho laboring classes from them. Alas! what a mockery! The misery that luis rallen upon tho once wealthy people of South Carolina is not for tongue to tell or pen to describe. They arc enduring in silence Euch sufferings as the truly great and good man must feel when not only poverty Ad actual want weigh him down, but insult and degradation add their 6harp Bli ogs to his misfortunes. The Southern gentleman, so long the type of all that is excellent in human character, now finds himself obliged to struggle with sheer tcanf, and to sec his wife and daughters live destitute ol all that educa? tion and habit have rendered almost necessary to their existence. Some of them have lands they can neither sell nor cultivate, whilst they have debts they are too honorable to repudi? ate, and which they are too poor to pay. Are these the "capitalists' whose greed is so rapacious that combinations must bc formed to protect the laboring peo? ple iroin them? If not, where are they? Let thc office-holders speak, they know where they are. Those strangers who have come here amongst us, without one particle of sympathy for the people, and have crawled like snakes into the flower beds that, under circumstances of insult and degradation, they are lorcing the people out of their hard earn? ings to cultivate for them, these arc the "capi? talists/' and there are no others. In the once rich and happy State of South Carolina. With the rest, life is a hard struggle, and despera? tion itself is continually goading them to pull down the pillars of the temple, and perish with those who mock at their calamities. No one will quarrel with any honest efforts to secure justice to the citizen, whether he be called a '-laborer" or a "capitalist." But for that species of vermin, that strive to destroy the peace of society, by hypocritical appeals to the masses, when the real object is to delmU the people and destroy their independence, all good people can only feel the most sovereign contempt. Those who are now in power in this State are usurpers, and nothing else. No length of time, or change of circumstances, will ever alter this unanimous verdict of the respectable classes ot society. Those little expedients of leagues and associations may serve a tcmper arv, unholv purpose, but the handwriting will still bo on the wall, and the day will come when the native Sonth Carolinian will be the ruler in his own house. The Chaldean has, in other days besides the present, revelled in the splendor of a holy temple-and history will repeat itself, in the career of another Cyrus, whose mission will be to humble the proud usurper, and to restore to intelligence and virtue the plaees from which they have been driven by the brute force of ignorance and vice. BACKWOODS. THE CHARLESTON NEWS luis boldly unearthed unprincipled schemes, and denounced those engaged in them.

PRATT, Chemist, for the Sulphu? ric Acid and Superphosphate Company. SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, la the form or SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or DISSOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE, is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these arc valuable in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is in them. Thc immense deposits of Phosphatic Guanos which were discovered in 1867 in South Carolina, by Dr. TRAIT, consists maluly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which is made available as a Fertilizer by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a condition as to make its Insola ble phosphate soluble In water, and thus mode capable of being taken up by growing plants. The Insoluble Phosphate found In any commercial Fertilizer is of no more value to the plant than the original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer contains, the less thc quantity required per acre, and consequently the cheapest Fertilizer is that containing thc highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate. r Impressed with these truths, thc Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Company have erected at Charleston the first extensive Acid Chambers south of Baltimore, and are able to offer to planters the highest, percentage of Soluble Phosphate of Lime known tn any market. Their Fertilizers arc otrered under two forms : 1. KTIWAN No. l.-Pure Soluble Phosphate, guaranteed to contatn twenty-four per cent, of Dis? solved Hone Phosphate of Lime. ?00 per ton; ten per cent, discount for cash. " 2. ETI WAN No. 2.-Peruvian Superphosphate, guaranteed to contain twenty per cent, of Dissolved Bone Phosphate, ?nd ouc and a half to three per cent, or Ammonia, with a sutllcient addition or Pe? ruvian Guano to adapt lt to al! Crops. $70 per ton; ten per cent, discount for cash. We also offer DISSOLVED BONE, of high grade, ror planters or manufacturers who may desire to? mix into any other compost, and we suggest that this is the best and cheapest method ror manufac? turers to transport the Sulphuric Acid contained in the mixture, wm be sold at a fixed rate for each? percentage.
