COLUMBIA. ~ Sunday Morning, March 3, 1867. Ncwftpnpirs, Agricultural and Poll * t ?ral. We extract the following paragraph front a private letter writen by an O? teemed friend in one of the up? country Districts: "There is now more intellect de? voted directly to farming und plant? ing iu this State than there ever was before. Educated gentlemen, who, before the war, counted their slaves by the fifties, :ire now reduced to the necessity of directing their hired labor, or, as we more familiarly un? derstand it, have now become their own overseers. Thesemen must read.* They are all planters, but not ?di politicians. To be busily employed all day on the farm, and come in nt night to read and enjoy the papers, it is but poor consolation to open up half dozen or moro papers and see tho brunt of the news in their co? lumns to be that Congress is becom? ing daily more radical, the condition of the South daily more lamentable; that Maximilian is daily leaving Mexico, and yet daily remains there; that Isapoleon is to-day a failure, and to-morrow a success that Europe is to-day imminently i . danger of being drowned or submc iged in the blood of her own citizens, and to-morrow is as tranquil as a May morn. Now, these are themes which readily fa? tigue and depress the mind of an already fatigued body, and yet what else do we see in the newspapers of the day? Unless we glance across at an advertising column, and there we see it placarded, in big letters, that 'Rhodes' ' is superior to all phos? phates, or that the 'Soluble' is far preferable to the Peruvian guano. And who says so? The agents, of course. Now, these latter are sub? jects of vital interest to the planter, and he needs an agricultural journal, ?where these facts may be established or refuted by the publication of the actual experience of planters. To get such a paper, he must go out of the State, which, 1 say, is a reflection on the intelligence of the planting interests." We take the liberty of making the above extract. for the purpose of making some remarks. We believe the fact stated, and are glad to know it, th.it then- is moro intellect de? voted io the fanning and plaining interest in this State than ever was before. We repeal that we are glad to know it, for we are convinced that, from this change in the pursuits of agriculture, not only this State, but all the other planting States, will reap immense bein fit. A system of improved till;.ge will surely follow; ami gradually, as our farmers become accustomed to thu new order (d' . things, with our soil and climate, and with tho adoption of the best fertilizing agents, we have no doubt but the Southern farms will vic in excellence and protective capacity with any others in the country. As to our friend'-; hints, or rather strictures, on the general manage? ment of newspapers, ut this time, we would suggest that we are now in the midst of a political crisis, which more affects all classes, even thc agriculturists, of the South, than any they have yet gone through. It h for this reason that not only thc journals generally recognized more af political 'W.O. news journals published in cities, but even those published ir. the various rural districts, devote much of their.space and attention t< the momentous events-events threat? ening the destruction of the libertiei of our people, together with th( prostration of all their interests now transpiring in Washington. Noi dan we think that even the farm ers throughout the State, iutelligen as they are admitted to be, do no feel an interest in legislation which if persisted in in accordance with it: projectors, will include all in its fel swoop of destruction. So much for thc political manage ment of the newspapers generally, a the present time. As to the publica tion of news-that of to-morrow con tradicting this of to-day-it has evei been and ever will be the fate o newspapers until millineum truth i established throughout the world. J publisher of news must give th items as they reach him, even if h has to print a contradiction next day But that which we regard the mos important point in the extract w have made is that relating to the pub lication of an agricultural journal ii this State. The Funner and Planlea published before the war, was a pt riodical well sustained by numerou able and practical contributions froi all parts of the South; yet it failec We were in hopes that the new weekly the Rural SouOicrner, would hav met with better success; but in thi I we have also been disappointed. We will not stop to inquire into the causes of these failures. But we avail ourselves of this opportunity to say, that in the absende .of an agri? cultural journal in the State, thc co? lumns of thc Phoenix and (?leaner our large weekly paper *e tendered to our friend, and to other agricul? tural contributors, as a medium for their communications on this import? ant subject. And not only this, but we invite . our agricultural friends throughout the State to correspond with us, giving us facts and practical results in this great branch and J agency of Southern .independence and prosperity. Tlic Btw Congress? This body, which, by law, con? venes to-morrow, will be without members from Connecticut, Califor? nia, Kentucky, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Tennessee. The pre? sent Congress has 181 members; 29 of these seats in the new Congress will be vacant on the 4th of March, by reason of the States above named not yet having held their elections. Of course, the Southern States will, as now, be unrepresented. It is sup? posed that after a session of a week or two, an adjournment will ' take place until the middle of May, by which time elections will have been held in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Of course, we of the South have as little, if not less, to expect from this Congress as from that which expired last night, at 12 o'clock. CHARLESTON AND NEW YOKE STEAM? ERS.-The Courier learns by a pri? vate despatch that the claims of some citizens in the ownership of the steamers which plied, before the war, between New York and Charleston, have been finally adjusteo. by the pay? ment of $267,500 by the house of Spofford, Tileston & Co., formerly the Now York agents of thc line, to Hon. .Tames B. Campbell, the agent of the parties interested. We are glad this house has either consented or were forced to .sholl out j to the rightful claimants in a portion ! of the old steam lines.* We also learn from tho Courier that the new side-wheel steamer Manhat? tan has born purchased in Now York, ; to ply between Charleston and that ! city in placo of the Carlotta. TRUE, EVEKT WOED.-The National Intelligencer closes a long and able po? litical article with the following para ; graph: ! "A country that will acquiesce, in ? a time?f)f universal peace, in a mea? sure deliberately abrogating the Con? stitution and laws in lalo over half the nation, yet affecting to keep thom in force in the other half, is a country ignorant of its own Constitution, and. therefore, incapable of a saving ? faith in it. Such a people are ripe ! for self-abasement, and in imminent ; peril of their freedom." RICHMOND.-Richmond, Virginia, j is gettiug to be a very precarious place for grown people anti little children who have not been suffi? ciently reconstructed. Tho follow? ing is the latest case in point, as we find it recorded in the Richmond Times: "We are indebted to Mr. John W. Davies, of the Richmond Musical Exchange, for a copy of the song 'Farewell Forever to the Star Span? gled Banner.' We learn that for the publication of this song Mr. Davies has been ordered to appear before the General commanding this De? partment." BANKROTT BILL.-The following speci d despatch to the Richmond Dispatch, of Friday, is the latest we have concerning this measure: The House (night session) has just refused to. lay the bankrupt bill on the table, by a vote of sixty-five to seventy-four. Being so near the close of the session, it may not get through; but tho House seemed in earnest in this vote, especially when it is seen how ready that body is to overslaugh everything. COMMUTED.-Governor Orr has commuted the sentence of Wright Sullivan, freedman, condemned tobe hung in Laurens, March 1, for high? way robbery, to hard labor for fifteen j years in the penitentiary. j Flake's Galveston Bulletin is in , formed that about 16,1)00 freedmen j have returned to Louisiana from Northern Texas, the laws and public sentiment being more favorable to them in Louisiana. An occasional contribution for the Portland sufferers is still received and acknowledged. The latest state? ment makes the grand total $561,996 a noble contribution. Patience and Endurance. lu an article, yesterday, on the let? ter of ex-Governor Brown, we said that one of the chief reliances of the Southern people for final deliverance was ''their own power of heroic en? durance." An apt and powerful illustration of this as an instrument? ality of eventually accomplishing the desired end, viz: the restoration of Constitutional rights, is embraced in tho following brief but significant telegram by cable, received some days ago: "VIENNA, February 21.-The re? storation of the Constitution of 1848 j to Hungary by the Emperor Francis Joseph has had the effect to remove the troubles heretofore existiug in that country. The people are now quiet and contented." This is one of the most striking examples which has been presented to the Southern people, and which they ought to profit by. With a co temporary, we can only say that if the people of the South exhibit even a modicum of the resolution shown by Hungary, in rejecting overtures of infamy, the reward that has come to Hungary will infallibly come to her. Glorious as was Hungary in thc day of battle-and the most noble of those opposed to the South acknow? ledges that she was so-she even sur? passed herself in the day of disaster. She fought for constitutional rights, she failed, through foreign pressure; she was worse than brigadiered-she was confiscated; her women were even punished with stripes. The same appeals were made to her as have been persistently offered to the South, but she kept her soul spotless and her garments white. She folded her arms and-endured. For seventeen years, this noble and patient Hun? gary was a spectacle for the gods. If the Austrian failed, so may the New Engl?nder; if the Hungarians tri? umphed by absolute vis inertia', so may the Southerner. As we have said, the above brief telegram is most I instructive at the present juncture. SOTJTHEKN MILITIA DISBANDED. ! All militia organizations in the Sou th ! ern States have been disbanded. From the proceedings of the Senate, 1 on Tuesday, we extract: Mr. Wilson moved an amendment ! to disband all the militia organiza i tions in the States lately in rebellion, I und forbid their re organization with j out the consent of Congress. I Mr. Wilson said these militia forces I should be immediately disarmed ant j disbanded. Many of them were now I in the habit of carrying the rebel t\d< ; at their parades. I Mr. Willey regarded this amend I ment as a very sweeping provision lt was not right to abolish at om I blow all thc militia systems of tin States. Mr. Wilson said General Sickle: had told him, the other day, that I was most dangerous to the country t< j idlow armed militia organizati ?us ii i these rebel States. Mr. Hendricks did not think tba such an important provisiou as thi I should bo put in an uppropriatioi j bill. Mr. Wilson insisted on his amend ment, and was surprised that any on should desire that these rebel or ganizations should be kept up. H (lil not wish, however, to take thei arms from them, and would modif his amendment so as to provide fo their disbanding only. The amendment of Mr. Wilson wa agreed to-yeas 23, nays ll. Such is the progress of radi?e tyranny. The next step will be t strike ont the clause granting to th people the right to bear arms. So w go- _^_ The chief spring election contest: this year to be fought in Connecticul on the first Monday in April. Bot i parties have selected their candidate! ! the Governor on the Rep?blica: j ticket being Gen. Hawlej'. and on tl) Democratic ticket James E. Englisl Last year, after a most animated cor test, in which both parties brongl ont their full strength, Gen. Hawle was elected Governor by 541 major ty, in a total vote of 86,974. Th year the Republican platform ei dorses c.nored suffrage and supper the course of the majority in Coi j gross, v 'dist tin; Democratic platfori I opposes the Congressional majori) I and supports the President. J The Richmond Times says: Judg I Thomas recently rendered a vet I lengthy decision in the case of Hunt? vs. Bennett, Fowle and Snowden v ! Martin, amt others of a similar n: ture, declaring the titles to the pr< porty purchased at tlie United Stat? tax sales invalid, principally upon tl ground that the commissioners we; not empowered to sell more than sn ficient to pay the taxes, penalties ai: costs. We learn that these cases wi be carried to the Supreme Court ( t' ' '"d States. .ly $800,000 were paid by tl CL. muH for gas during the pa: y PROGRESS. -The New York Herald says : "Only look nt it. In October, 1835, a female anti-slavery society was riot? ously broken up in Boston by a col? lection of conservatives described as 'gentlemen of property and stand? ing;' and Mr. Garrison, who went to th? meeting to deliver an address, after attempting to conceal himself in a carpenter's shop from the fury of tho mob, was captured, had his clothes torn oil, and was dragged through the streets with a rope around his neck. And for what? For preaching in Boston negro emancipation. Cotton, then, was king, even among the Puritans. Still later in the day, in New York, the famous D?mocratie Empire Club an? nually set apart a contingent fund for the reception of the Abolitionist Phillips with a welcome of rotten eggs. Now, mark the change. Gar? rison is hailed as a public benefactor everywhere. He lias had a jubilee in Charleston. He is the object of a fifty thousand dollar subscription fond; andas for Phillips, if he now becomes comparatively tame in his phillippics, it is because he misses the inspiration of Capt. Ryndersaud his shower of eggs. Are not those among the wonders wrought in Is? rael in those latter days? "Who can tell what next is com? ing? With the country turned up? side down and inside out, there is no telling what may come to the sur? face." The following extract from a pri? vate lotter dated San Jacinto, Janu? ary 31, has been forwarded to the Charleston Mercury for publication: "The Imperial loss was very heavy, while the Liberals lost only 250 killed, wounded and missing. it pains mo to record the loss of Capt. Stuart, of the cavalry, who was mor? tally wounded and fell into tho hands of the enemy. Capt. Stuart was a native of Charleston, S. C., and served in our glorious but un fortu? nate army throughout. He arrived in Mexico last December, and imme? diately united his destiny with the Liberal Government, and by his dashing bravery and gentlemanly conduct had won the admiration of his superior and all who knew him." THE SIM ATION.-A large athletic man, clad in armor und armed cap-a pie, stands over the prostrate body of a small though gallant man, un i armed, helpless, exhausted ; and, ? fearing tho small man may arise and : overcome him, the large ono pins ! him to the earth with a bayonet.

FATAL DUEL.--The New Orleans Picayune gives the following account of a fatal duel which occurred near that city a few days since: Tho parties engaged were Messrs. ; Edward Lefevre and George (lenin. ' Both wore young married men. Ge niu was accused of faking improper liberties witli the lady of Mr. Lefevre, during the dance at the ball mention? ed. Immediately thereafter he was ? called to account by Mr. L. Mr. Ge nin answered the accusation of Mr. Lefevre by au assault, and a challenge followed. Preliminaries were arranged, and Thursday morning both parties met. At the first tire, Lefevre fell dead and Genin mortally wounded in the neck. The latter lingered until yesterday morning, when he died. The body of Lefevre was taken to the opposite side bf the river by his friends. Now, that both parties are dead, we presumo their remains will bc brought to ?he city for interment. The whole affair was an unfortu- 1 nate one. Both parties were highly ' esteemed in tho community, and ! their tragical death will cause much misery to their families and frieuds. KENTUCKY.-A petition is being circu'ated among the colored people of Kentucky, asking the Legislature to secure to them an impartial distri? bution of the school funds; to grant the right of testimony unr'-stricted; the admission of the colored iusaue, idiotic and infirm paupers into insti? tutions provided for thom, and the benefits ol' such civil enactments as are deemed necessary for the protec? tion of person, property, virtue and labor. The petition closes with an j earnest appeal for increased educa? tional privileges as indispensable to the welfare and intelligence of their children, and for the prosperity of the State. PICKING UP BUCK-SHOT.-A Mis? souri paper says one of the loyal militia sent to LaFayctte County to "preserve order and serve civil pro? cess," picked up three buck-shot, one night not long since, while robbing a ! hen-roost.
