P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. W. T. Sims, Union. J. M. Allen, Greenville. How to Revive Industry. Tho following excellent remarks, from tho Richmond Dispatch, applies equally to this "and other Southern States as to Virginia: . We can never prosper until wo pro? duce more than we consume. Au agricultural people oan readily do this, with the proper effort, and such rag ought to be in au emiucut degree. SNfcll toko time; but we are sure of success, if we go to work in the right wav. Virginia wants immigration, ana she will be poor until it oomes. Wo don't want paupers nor drones; not mere laborers without money, but thrifty farmers. Houest, indus? trious men, with their families, and the m?ans to buy small farms and stock them. It matters not whether they como from Now Eugland or Old England; nor is it important whether they sottle on tide-water or in tho Piedmont country, so they come aud bring their gold. Tho lands of Vir? ginia must be and w'.llbe sub-divided, and sold at low, living and reasonable prices, so that tho immigrant will find a cheap home in a civilized commu? nity, so much botter for him than to settle where everything is wild and rude. The great West has boen built tip iu this way, and it is thc only plan. Meu of wealth who havo hereto? fore held hundreds and thousands of acres of land cannot cultivate them as formerly. The system of labor has changed, and we must change with it. Realize this, and tho work is begun. There is plenty of work for the yioor, and none need stiffer, if they are ready to take hold of it. Till tho soil-produce from the earth what is wanted for sustenance-never mind reconstruction and thc currency-oue will come after a little, and tho other is amply good for present purposes, if wo eau get enough of it. It is of no use to build fine stores and fill them with goods for peoplo who have no money to buy. Bents cannot bo afforded, the goods decline iu value, and loss is a certainty. It is idle to build mills and talk of manufacturing, until wo produce tho material neces? sary to sustain them. Of what use are barns, if we have nothing to put in them? Our wealth is in tho soil, and wo must dig it out, or we shall always be poor. If we would mnko the same efforts to induce good farm? ers to come among us and aid in cul? tivating our lands, that wc do to get Northern capital to loan to each other at enormous interest, or build fine stores, to bo soon sold at heavy loss, wo should be happier and better off. If we would sustain Richmond as it is even, we must build up the coun? try which trades to it; and the only way to do that is, to encourage and bring immigrants of the best kind .among us. Every citizen of tho State is interested in doing this. We must be moderate in our demands for our lands, and our railroad companies must bo willing to transport new? comers at reduced rates. Do all that we can to secure immigration. That is what wc want, and wo cannot get on without it. If a man has 1.U?0 acresjof land in one body to sell, let him diviile it, and .sell in five or ten tracts, so that poor people can buy. Inaugurate tins system, and we shall find a good result. PLAN von REMODETJIXQ THE CITY OP NEW YOUK.-We have received a map of a plan for remodeling tho city of New York, winch was proposed to the Legislature last i..onth by ?lames E. Sorrell. Tho principal Features of this plan are: Changing tho shape of tho boundary on the Easterly side of thc city of New York and the Westerly sido of Loug Island opposite, In* cutting" a new East River five anil a quarter miles ^oug, 8,300 feet wide, and forty feet ileet), and extending from Green Point tu Long Island Sound. [New York Herald. PJckcna DUttlct. A very large meeting of the citi? zens bf dickens District was hold nt the Court House, on Monday, 15th instant. Among tho resolutions adopted were tho following: That in good faith, nnd without re? servation, we accept the plan of re? construction laid down by Congress in the Sherman bill,' and the bill sup? plementary theroto. That it is tho duty of every good citizen to como forwnrd, and in good faith lend his nssistahco to the recon? struction of tho State under tho Sher? man bill, and thus put an end to tho evils of our present condition. That we will jointly and severally, uso our best exertions.to enforco tho laws, and to secure to all persons, ir? respectivo of race, color or previous condition, full protection for life, liberty and property. That every respectable Northern nihn, or foreigner, who brings physi? cal strength or'capital into South Carolina, should bo received as a friend.and treated as such. That in future, no qualification far office, from the lowest to tho highest, will bc exacted among us, save that of merit. That tho security of our political institutions demands that tho highest facilities for securing elementary edu? cation to the masses of the people bo guaranteed by constitutional provi? sion. That constitutional ' pro vision should bo made for the exemption of every man's homestead from levy nnd sale, that our population may become fixed and permanent to the soil. That tho lnws of this, Stato require modification in many respects, but moro especially should the}' be so changed ns to do away with impri? sonment for debt, except in cases of fraud, and corporeal punishment for crime or any other cause. That we congratulate ourselves that, being under military authority, wc havo placed over us that humane and enlightened soldier and statesman, Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, the Com? mander of the Second Military Dis? trict, who is disposed, by all proper means, to. soften, as much as in his power may bo, tho unavoidable se? verities of military rule; and that in carrying ont tho arduous and impor? tant duties of his high office, ho will have our good will, co-operation and support. That deprecating anything like party fueling, and disavowing parti zan motives, we invoke tho aid ol that God who rules tho universe, speedily to bring order out of confu sion, and pray Him to send Hi.' richest blessings upon our whoh country, that we may oneo more bi able to utter with truth and fervoi that sentiment dear to every trw American heart, "Liberty and Union now and forever, one and insepara hie." -.-?-?-*-. GEN'. SICKTES.-Tho -New Yorl fferahl, in publishing the general or ders of Gen. Sickles, in concluding its comments on said orders, says: "His general order of tho 11th is i piece of real wisdom, all tho rnori excellent for being timely. It set aside laws very boldly; but the bold ness is discreet, since it sots nsidi laws for tho very reason for whicl they wero first mado-to protect tin people and prevent misery. JGCH Sickles acts in thc spirit of a com mander who regards tho people a committed not so much lo his rule a to his care. He gives a noble an swer to those disaffected Souther] politicians who have denounced th military bill "hs au oppression, ii showing them hov; well it will spry for a defence against oppressors. "Hi first uso of his great powers has bet in favor of tho people, and tim grave fact will'go far to correct th erroneous impression the South ha had of the spirit in which the Norf intended to govern. We seo in Gei Sickles aman of thc same typo wit those who made l?omo great-on equally competent in war and in p< litiCs, with the ample, dcvelopniot that enables him to shine in eithc sphere. He is possessed of geehi! of experience, and has a mind cult vated by extensivo study-the tim requisites laid down by Bolingbrol ns necessary to a great leader; and ho uses Iiis opportunities with til discretion and moderation that hm marked his course thus far, his fi turo career will be a splendid ono fi his country." --. -> V- > j Tur: INJUNCTION CASKS.-The cou sci dngaged in behalf of the Georg laud Mississippi injunction cases he aconsnltation ouSaturdny, andngrei that Charles O'Conor should nddrc tho Supremo Court in the Georg caso, and Judge Black should spo on tho Mississippi case. Tho arg ments will be boord on tho 26th, ai decision is expected as early as t succeeding Monday. THE PoiiiTrcAii SETTLEMENT-CON? FIDENCE.-The New York Sun con? cludes an article ou the prospects of the South with the following para? graph : As- tho political interests of the South become more defined, and set? tle into a regular course of advance? ment, ber industrial pursuits will rapidly outstrip them. Tke great hiu drauce to material progress, then, since tho var, has not been exclusion, but uncertainty. Setting asido tho politicians, the cry of thc people was, "Wo want to know what is coming." A vigorous start was niado in tho di? rection of mining, more particularly for gold, in which metal tho States of Virginia, North Carolina and Geor? gia abound; but tho uncertain condi? tion of affairs kopt capital away, and without money, nothing could bo done. Already again this mineral interest is reviving. Besides gold, tho most important metal there seems to bo copper, Which was largely ex? tracted by tho Confederate .Govern? ment, during the war, from thc mines of Tennessee and Virginia. The price of copper beiug low, and thc trade comparatively inactive, renders it hardly u paj-ing enterprise to import that metal from tho expensive Pacific coast, and tho gate is open for cheap production nearer home. EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.-A cor? respondent of tho New York Herald, writing from Queenstown, says: . Sinco the beginning of tho spring emigration bas considerably in? creased, and it is believed that, if tho present rate of increase continues for any length of timo,'the numbers will exceed tho enormous proportions of 1805, when emigration was at its height. The class of people emigrating is generally of tho comfortable farming class, and, as a wile, they aro youug and healthy persons. On no day during tho post month was there such a rush ? of emigrants as yesterday and to-day. By every train-which leave Cork hourly, from carly morning-scores of intending emigrnuts were to. bo seeu weiiding their way to tho railway stations at thc North and South sidos of tho city cn mule to . Queenstown, where up? wards of 1,200 were shut out from thc three steamers which sailed ou Thursday," tho 1th instant. -. ? ? > OcTRAOE UrON A COLORED MAN IN RpcnKSTER.-The Rochester Express, of n late date, bas the following: . "Nathan Sprague, a colored man, and son-in-law to Frederick Doug? lass, lately purchased a coach and horses, with a view of running it os a public conveyance, having pro? cured his license. He took his stand at tho regular < place, on tho East B?J?, near the "Osburu House, not? withstanding threats from certain quarters that no'd-d nigger' sho'uld run os a hackman in Bochester. On Monday' evening of last week-thc same day Sprague commenced busi? ness, and while his back was turned a moment-bis coach washadjy cul up and disfigured, so as to render il unfit for use until repairs were made, which wero quito expensive, as thc .toi), cushions and other parts wert .nearly destroyed. Sprague is a quiet, inoffensive man, and minds bis owr business." And this jp the abolition part of New York! Another district i; needed.. t A NoBijB AND DELICATE ACT.-Tin Edgefield Advertiser says: The New York Mutual Inshro?ct Company, after incurring expense! of ?^?OO on ' a marble bust of Mrs Dickens, have sent it to ex-Governo: Pickens, free of all charges whatever This bust, which, with ono or "th? Govoruor himself, was executed ii Borne, by an American artist o great distinction, reached New Yorl soon after tho breaking out of tin war; and was received by the officer of said insurance company, um kepi privately in their rooms, No. G William street, throughout tho coursi of the struggle. This act proves that there aro high toned and true, gentlemen iu over; section of our country, notwithstana the general illiberality and narro\ feeling engendered by the late bar barons war; and we are much please? to chronicle it. Nor can we refrain from comment ing upon the rare beauty and artist i Value of tho bust in question.
