The Future ot* South Carolina. ,.
It is agreod on all hands that thc change
in our system of labor, produced by the
result of the late war, must . necessarily
work a change, not only in c*ttV syst^fa of
agriculture, but cause ns to nary our pur*
suits and seek new instrumentalities to
develop our- producing capacities.
Governor Orr, in his inaugural address,
givcs^tirr?B-8u6ject'the attention it deserves,
and makes some suggestions which, as
soon- as practicable, we hope to see gene?
rally adopted by the people of the State.
He tells them-and tells them truly-that
their "first great want is enterprise and
industry." This is too true of the people
of this Stale, ? They have never evinced
much of either of these indispensable cle?
ments of prosperity and success. This is
doubtless owing, in a great measure, to
the principal avocation of thc wealthy and
those of more moderate means-viz: plant?
ing; but tho old system of extensive plant?
ing and holding large estates Amt poorly
cultivated, must undergo material modifi?
cations; thc lands must be more thoroughly
tilled and improved, and to effect this,
skilled labor and productive industry must
bo induced to como among us, and the
rich rewards of an extensive infusion of
these elements in our new operations, will
Amply repay any individual diminution in
the number of acres a man may have been
able heretofore to boast that bc possessed.
Further-the infusion of these fixed ele?
ments of prosperity will have a beneficial
effect upon our own people, and especially
upon tho rising generations. Drones and
idlers cannot find a congenial home
among our industrious and working people.
The good example of the latter class will
be contagious, and false pride, which too
Jfrequently prevents men from working,
will finally fall before the hard knocks of
honest toil, and the ceaseless teachings of
untiring energy and persistent industry.
The good time will then come when no
man, whatever may have been his birth or
ancestry, or whatever may have been his
former position, will be ashamed to labor
.with his hands, or teach his children to
?earn an honorable hvelihood.
When we have done these things; when
wo have invited labor and mechanical
-skill among us by proper inducements;
-when we have shown to the world that we
Arc determined to turn over a now leaf in
.our industrial pursuits, and practically
.evinced an improvement in our stock of
energy auit eutfcrpriae; when we havo
thrown off the easy but lazy habits of past
affluence, and set to work in earnest, then,
.and not until then, will we realize tho
glorious and prosperous condition which
Gov. Orr predicts as that of new Carolina.

Tine tiicxt C?nf rc*i. I
Thc session which commences on Mon- |
1 day n?xt, will be one of tho most important j
ever held. Anything, therefore, relating
to the men who compose it, or which .viii <
serre to throw any light upon their proba- |
hie action du th? ?"uestions arising, Will be
of interest to the jpibljc. We baye reached |
a critical period ii? our history,' and upon
Congress, in a great measure, rests the !
decision whether the late insurrection is
to be followed by another revolution and
j domestic anarchy, or whether with the
downfall of the rebellion is to commence
an epoch of greater prosperity and firmer
union between all sections than heretofore.
Tho republican party proper have a large
majority in both houses of Congress. It
was this part} that had control of thc
Government and wielded its power durinc
the lato war. They announced, both In?
resolutions in Congress and Executive
proclamations, that they were prosecuting
the war for the preservation or the Union,
to prevent its being broken into fragments.
It was denied over andover again that any
Stats had thc right to secede. They de?
clared also that all the efforts of the
Southern States in that direction were ille?
gal in toto, and therefore, an insurrection
against the Government. The rebellion
has been crushed, the insurrection sub?
dued, the armed torces engaged have beon
either captured, snrienderea or disperser'.
Having accomplished this, will Congreso
now all ow tho coantrv to bc immcdiatelv
restored by the admission of the Southern
representatives, or postpono it to some
future day, and thus keep the country in
an unsettled condition for somo time to
come? If the latter, our domestic as well
as our foreign relations will be seriously
complicated, commerce crippled and our
financial affairs imperiled.
As already stated, tho republicans have
a large majority in Congress and will be
responsible for tho. measures adopted.
The members were elected before the
present political issues arose. All the
issues of the canvass at th? time of their
election have passed away by the collapse
' of the rebellion. It is therefore impossi?
ble to tell the precise course which they
will pursue upon tho great question of
restoration, which will now mark the divid?
ing hues, except it may be with such men
as Thaddeus Steavens, of Pennsylvania,
and Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts,
who have publicly announced their policy.
That " thoro will be a marked difference in
the course in Congress of members of the
republican party is plainlv evident. A
disagreement has already developed itself
to a considerable extent. President John
Bon was elected by the sama party and
upon the same issues that Mr. Stevens
was, but their avowed policy at thc present
time in reference to the treatir at of the
Southern States is directly an*' dstical.
The whole question as to tho action of
Congress, then, is, does Andrew Johnson
. represent the views and policy of the
republican members, or is Thaddeus
Stevens, with his radica!, extreme ideas,
the true exponent of that party? In
looking over the tabular classification ol
the members of the House of Representa?
tives, published elsewhere, we Und that,
excluding the eleven Southern 8tates which
were engaged in the rebellion, thore are
ono hundred and eighty-four members.
Of these ono hundred and forty-three were
elected as Republicans and forty-one as
Democrats of various shades. With some
half a dozen exceptions, all of both partiea
take their seats with the avowed purpose
of supporting tho Southern policy of th?
President. Whether this is mere pretence,
or the real determination of the members,
time alone can determine. According tc
the best information thai we can obtain
up' to the present time of writing, th?
following, is tho real position of tho mem?
bers: Conservative Republicans, 65; Radi?
cal Republicans, 83; War Democrats, 30:
Copperheads, 10; Southern secessionists 54
1 he first four classifications are the onh
members who will have a vote on the act
mittance of the Southern representatives
It is believed that tho conservative Re
publicans and Democrats wil' sustain tin
policy of restoration marked out by th?
President, and that thc radical Republi
cans will oppose it. As it is impossible t(
obtain correct data in regard to the posi
tion of all, a direct application of th?
above test may show a larger preponde
rance of the conservative element in tin
Republican party, or rice corsa.
Much will depend upon the form h
which the question of admitting th?
Southern representatives comes np as ti
how the Republican party will divide oi
that question, as divide it must in som
form. If, for instance, an attempt i
m.. le to declare that thc Southern Siate:
aro so many conquered territories, and
therefore, out of the Union, thoso favorim
that policy as against the President's wil
bo a mere faction. The same will be tru
in regard to an attempt to keep tho South
ern members ont of Congress until thci
respective States give tho negroes the pri
vilege of tho elective franchise. Very fe?
members from the North will presume t
tike that stand, in the face of the develop
ments in tho Northern Statos during th
last few months. Rut when wc come t
the question of receiving the South in fn
fellowship just as it stands now, the rcsul
is more doubtful, and the position of
majority of tho Republicans somewha
problematical, The extremo men of tho
party desire to delay rc-organizatior
while the President would settle tho cour
try, and lay the foundation for prosperit
at once. The former would plunge u
into untold evils of domestic and pohtici
anarchy, and threaten us with financii
ruin, while the latter would giTe ua peace,
domestic tranquility and commercial pros?
perity. The whole country has been in
turmoil, excitement ?and. unsettled for J^co.

its decision is not only important in regard
to thc interests of thc country, but upon
that decision rests the life or death of tho
Republican party, inasmuch as that party
will be hold responsible for the action of
Congress. Thc Republican party now oc?
cupies the position and has thc pfestigo to
become the riding power of the nation for
ycart to. come. If the Republicans in Con?
gress rally to the support of tho policy
already commenced by Andrew Johnson,
thc fate of the Democratic partv will be
forever sealed, while the Republican will
bo the party of the country for tho next
quarter of a century: But if, on tho other
hand, they follow thc lead of such fanatics
as Stevens, Sumner, Wade and Chandler,
then the Republican party will receive its
death-blow iii the- house of its pretended
friends, nud the Democracy will be again
placed in power. The pcoplo are anxious
and are hoping and praying for an early
re-adjustment of all our internal difficulties. I

to urge action in his pardon case. " Two

Tho New York Times' correspondent !

Mallory, Yuleo and Lubbock, and other
prominent participants in the rebellion, is j
untrue. Strong efforts are being made in
behalf of Yulee and Mallory, but there aro
particular reasons for holding on to them

releasing from Fort Pulaski the rebel Sec?

,: Tho President had a lengthy conversa?
tion on Saturday with Mr. . Colfax and

details have not transpired, vet it is known
to have been in the main a full and frank
discussion of tho arguments for and
against speedy reconstruction. This was
done in the most friendly temper, and with
entire unreserve and personal cordiality.
The interview is deemed important, as
setting at rest the imputations so freely
made by Southern sympathizers that tho
President had taken offence at Mr. Colfax's
recent speech, and that there were io be
hostile divisions between the executive and
legislative branches. Tho President has
hitherto believed immediate restoration
judicious, while Mr. Colfax prefers delay.
Mr. Colfax's faith in his position waxes
stronger, while the recent action of tho
Southerners themselves has done much to
undermine thc President's previous con?
