COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, April IO, 1867. Agitation. Tho South is heartily tired of poli? tical agitation; ifc Las nearly been tho death of her anti her best interests. It is, therefore, with regret that wo seo, .in some of out- exchangee, a lin? gering disposition still to discuss po? litics, anti argue tho right und wrong ot the military bill. Tho Biclunond Enquirer recently put sundry questions to tho Now York Times, among which was ono to tho effoe^ tjiat if tho Southern people havo taken nil oath to support the Constitution, how can they becomo a party to* tho lato legislation of Con ? gress? Tho Times, wo think, vory properly responds iu substance, that it cannot soo that the Southern States "become a party" to tho legislation of Con? gress, by accepting it as liflv, and obeying its requirements.. .Cbngress has passed a law providing for elec? tions, conventions and other steps in the re-organization of Governments inj tl io Southern' States. That law may or may not bo constitutional, but tho Southern people arc not respon? sible for it. They wero not parties to it iu any sense; thoy did not voto for it; its validity docs not depend on their accepting or assenting to it. Tt will go iuto effect, and tho South? ern States Governments be organized nuder its provisions, whether they accept or reject it. They must take tho law as they find'it-as it is made for them by those who, for tho time, havo tho power to mnko it. Tlieso views of tho Now York pa j per aro ours, simply because they are facts as they exist. It is nonsense to talk of acceptance or rejecti ?1 of n late which has been passed by tho law-making power; and if tho En? quirer and other Southern papers were to argue its fitness or constitu? tionality from now until dooms-day, it would not lessen its foreo or modi? fy its requisitions. But tho great ovil to bo apprehend? ed from this useless discussion is, that it keeps alive political and sec? tional ngitation, and that agitation paralyzes business. When Congress adjourned, after having completed it? measures for re-organizing State Go? vernments in tho South, it was hoped that agitation would cease. It was and is believed that no quorum of Congress will meet iu July, ns pro? vided for iu' tho resolutions of ad? journment, but that tho recess will continuo until December; thus giving niuo months of political qnict, and an opportunity for the Southern States to re-organizo and bo prepared to submit their State Constitutions to that body on its re-assembling. Tho indications from Virginia and Mary? land aro that Northern capitalists aro ready to invest their capital in South? ern lands and Southern enterprises, provided they cnn believo tho politi? cal questions of the day settled, ac? cording to tho legislation of Congress. Tho whole country needs tho re? poso of ro-harmouized notion in the councils o? the nation. Tho finan? cial condition of tho North, as well ns tho depression throughout the South -tho latter depending mainly on tho healthfulness of tho former-de mauds that political agitation should cease. In the South, its continuance would not only be. profitless, but ruinous; while, at the North, it would continue to clog tho wheels of trade and commerce, and continuo to keep capital locked up which should bc: flowing in every channel of ontor prise.tending to develop tho resources of the country. Our trim course, then, is to push forward the work ol reconstruction, and not indulgo in vain lamentations over tho past, 01 useless railings at tho present situa? tion. Empty discussions of political theories nt this time ean aid us in lie way whatsoever -neither in bettering our condition politically, or in tilt recuperation of our resources anti energies. We beliovo that the good sonso of tho mass of the Southern pcoplo has brought them to the same conclusion. lUr?.Ti HUN.-Gen. Joseph E. John ston, in a lato letter upon the subjec of tho first battlo of Bull linn, say tho victory kthero was regarded bi tho Confederate troops as having de (tided tho question of Southern indo pendenco, and ended the war, one thousands of them left tho army an< went homo. Tho Union army, h< says, was less disorganized by tiefen Cotton va. Corn. STONY POINT, April 8, 1867. MESSUM. Eprroiis: It is from no fondness ior controversy, nor from a desire to appear in print, nor yet from a determination to play .'last tog" with you, that I respectfully ask for another showing in your columns. I bolievo tho end aiined at by both of us is tho samo; but wo proposo to uso different means. Suroly, nothing ~would contribute more to tho happi? ness of her citizous than for the South to becomo, in every respect, self-sustaining. I would rejoice to seo her commonco ploughing every sea, to hear hor spindles twirling in every County, District or Parish, and, most of all, to know that her agriculture was tho most improved in Christendom. But is all this pos? sible? Can suoh an instance bo found in the history of nations, that any ono pooplo was pre-eminent in tho three great proofs of civilization? Tho old saw, that ho who is jack of all trades is master of none, is as ap? plicable to nations as to individuals. If tho South attempts to build her own ships, weavo her own fabrics and grow her own staples, she will most assuredly fail. And yet this is tho sum and substauco of your advice, I infer, from your repeated publications on this subject. Wo aro a bankrupt people, and, beforo wo becomo resuscitated, we must redevelop our resources, by digging them from tho soil. Wo havo no commerce, and no money with which to build up manufactures, and our only source of income must bo tho cultivation of crops; and hero is tho point. We must grow thoso crops that will net us the most money when thrown into market. Of this crop, each planter must judgo for himself. A neighbor of mino plants largely of corn, and pays but little attention to cotton, because his rich, alluvial lands produce abundantly in grain of all kinds, but they inva? riably rust cotton. It would bo as suicidal for him to plant a largo cot? ton crop as it would bo for the Rich? land planter to depend upon tho un manured sand-hills of your District for a corn harvest. Extremes aro us destructive to agriculture as they aro to any other department of life. Tho avarice of that planter who buys his flour, corn, bacon and molasses, (for such a planter is sure to stint him? self and family,) and grows only cot? ton, that ho may stuff his coffers, is about as commendable as tho folly of that other extremist, who refuses to plant cotton for fear ho may have to buy something from the Yankees. If there are two ideas in practical economy that it becomes our planters to iuculcate upon themselves now, if over, they aro these: 1. Plant every? thing you can for market, and, when harvested, sell it to whomever will pay you most for it. 2. Buy as littlo of everything as possible, and buy from him who will sell you cheapest. The destitution of our country, and moro particularly of our State, is great; but what would it have been had tho planters, last year, grown no cotton? Tho universal and almost unprecedented drought totally de? stroyed tho corn crops, and, but for tho littlo cotton grown, thousands more of our citizens would now bo on tho charity list. If tho State raised 100,000 bales of cotton in 1866, it has boen tho means of supplying her citi? zens with $10,000,000-an amount that, if properly expended, would this spring have imported into the State half as many bushels of corn as is grown in tho Stato in a success? ful year. I am convinced wo devoto far too largo an area to tho culturo of corn, and it is an "old habit and a prejudice" which a few more scorch? ing sommers will assuredly "shako off." We speak of eorn-Indian maize-as tho staff of life. What a delusion! Nine-tonths of Christen? dom never saw a corn stalk, nor au ear of corn. In bye-gono days,? tho greasy ?moke-houso and well-filled crib were indicative of the quantity of labor dono on tho plantation, be canse the laborer, destitute of care and almost of thought, fattened like i a pig when rationed heavily from each. Such consumers were a heavy tax upon tho commissariat of tho ' plantation ; but they have diminished, and will continue to decreaso porcep i tibly, though thc labor of tho country should continuo abundant. Hand . and head, both workiug to accom? plish tho samo end, will effect more 1 and consumo less than whon manual ? labor alone is employed. There aro several points, Messrs. i Editor?, in your "leader," of tho f>th instant, which almost provoko a reply > 1 but I must forbear, for fear of bo f coming tiresome. Very respectfully, si J). WYATT AIKEN. I PonaoT How TO Cnow.-Tho rea? son why tho Southern papers do not 1 mako so much "jubilation" over the Connecticut election, as some of their conservative contemporaries in thc - North do, tho Richmond WhltJ says, t is "because they have forgotten how ?i to crow over election results." f - # General Hancock's Indian oxpodi - tion, 1,500 strong, proposes to go to I Fort Lamed, on tho Santa Po road, I where ho will invite all tho chiefs of i hostile tribes to connell, and discuss t terms of peace. If they fail to agree, - ho will immediately enter upon a TI\o Conference Mctwcen the Mlllt*ry | ami civil Autnorltlc. The Charleston Courier speaks os j follows of this meeting: In compliance with his request, Major-General Sickles, commanding] this military district, was met yester? day by Governors Worth, of North Carolina, and Orr, of this State, for tho purpose of having a freo confer? ence upon tho preliminary details of j re-organization under tho reconstruc? tion bills. Tho interview was, wo understand, mutually agreeable and satisfactory. Amongst tho results attained, wo may mention tho follow? ing: Tho details of registration will bo immediately prepared by direction of Gen. Sickles, and put into operation as soon os persons can bo found to act in tho capacity of registers who aro qualified under the provisions of tho supplemental bill to do so. No elections for municipal or State officers will be held in cithor of the States until tho Conventions which are to bo called shall havo mot and adopted new Constitutions. No civil officer will be removed who faithfully discharges his duties. Whenever vncaucies occur by rea? son of the expiration of tho tenuro of offioo, by death, resignation or other? wise, they will bo filled by appoint? ments, to bo made by the Governors of these States, if tho officers aro of I tho character elected by tho General Assemblies, unless special reasons to the contrary should arise, or by the Commanding Genernl, if they aro of tho class elected by populor suffrage. Tho News says: Our distinguished guests, Gover? nors Orr, of South Carnlina, aud Worth, of North Carolina, have left j us. Gen. Sickles, wo leam, gavo a select dinner party, yesterday even? ing, at his residence, ex-Governor Magrath and Chief Justice Dunkin being of tho party. Later in tho I ovening, tho officers of the staff aud others stationed in tho city paid their | respects to tho two Governors. Governor Worth left last night by tho North-Eastern train, escorted to | tho dopot by soveral members of Gen. Sickles' stall'. Ho was much pleased with what ho heard and saw in our city, and tho result of his interview | with tho Commander of tho District, we learn, was altogot?er satisfactory. Governor Orr left by tho train this morning. IT is a matter of congratulation that wu have at last had a reliable Tonic intro? duced in Pankniu's Hepatic Hitters; manu? factured at tho South by Dr. C. P. Panki?in, thu well known Charleston Chemist; and which can bo used by all persons, regard? less of ago or sex, who require a tonic j medicine.
