The convention was called to order by the President, ot 9 o'clock, yesterday morning. W.. M. Lawton, Esq., Chairman of the Committee on Manufaatures, submitted thc following, which was adopted: The Committee on Manufactures, to whom was referred the valuable and in? structive paper which was read yesterday by its author, Col. J. B. Palmer, before and by invitation of this convention, .setting forth the importance of a more general system oi manufacturing in the cotton States, as well as the profits to be derived from investments in cotton mills especially, have been fullj impressed with its clear and concise illus trations, and recommend its publication, and that it be recorded on the minute- oi this association. Your committee cannot but flatter them Belves, from the spirit manifested in this assembly of the practical intelligence of th< State, that the views and facts set forth bi Colonel Palmer will attract the earnest at tention of the people of South Carolina, nuc lead them to regard the establishment o manufactories in every section of the Soutl as vitally associated with agriculture, ant to redound to their welfare and future pros perity. To grow our own cotton, tho best ii staple and quality produced, and to oonver the same into yarns and fabrics for export certainly appears to be the policy and th hope of the South, if lessons of wisdom b taken from the past. Col. J. P. Thomas offered the followin resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That Colonel Palmer be rc quested to lay his valuable paper on mani: facturing before the convention to be bel in Memphis, aud to which he is n delegate A. A. Gilbert, Esq., offered thc following which was adopted: Resolved, That a standing committee, t consist of five members, shall bo appointe by the President, whose duty it shall be t open and keep up a correspondence with ii fluential persons in Germany, France, En{ land and other countries of Europe, on th subjeot of immigration.

That all applications for membership this society should be addressed to Col. J Wyatt Aiken, Secretary of the South Car lina Agricultural and Mechanical Societ Cokesbury, S.

Committee to be appointed by the cht By A. Ii. Woodruff, Esq. : That tho nous County agricultural sooietios of State bo requested to appoint committees canvass their respective Counties in tho toreat of tho Stato Agricultural and I chanics Society, and procure members thc samo. V,y Col. J. P. Thomas: That all voting done by Counties according to their rei scutation in the popular branch of tho gislature. That the Presidents of regular agrieulti societies be invited to take seats on floor. That tho subject of scientific and prac! agricultural education is among ?he u important to which the attention of this society should bo directed, nnd that the Coinmittoi! on Eduoution be directed to pre? pare and report to the next meeting such a ech?me on this subject as may be deemed proper and effective. T. S. Boinest, Esq., Chairman of the Committee on Labor and Immigration, sub? mitted the following: The Committee, to whom was assigned the duty of reporting upon the subject of labor and immigration, beg leave to submit the followiug paper, as the result of their deliberations: There can be no concealment of tho fact that we aro living under a new and altered condition of affairs, and though there be an honest difference of opinion among our citizens as to whether thi6 now system be to the advantage, or prejudicial to tho in? terests of the country and the development of tho resources of the State, interest and duty alike demand that wo face existing facts in conformity with their stern de? mands. No question is perhaps moro important to all the material interests of tho State than that of labor, for without it, of what avail will be all the improvements in mechanics, arte and agriculture. Under that ancient regime, when tho old Palmetto State enjoyed a liood-tido of prosperity, there was an Or? ganization nnd an efficiency which crowned our agricultural efforts with commensurate success; but our altered circumstances de? mand an altered basis of operations. That labor is now in a large measure disor? ganized aud unreliable, and it may be, in part, attributed to the mistakes of the agri? culturists themselves, in making tho laborer a partner in the results of his labors, ns well ns his suddenly altered condition and tho miserable influence of wily politicians; what remains to us must be made available to the greatest possible extent, and what is then wanting to supply tho demand must be brought to us from tho over-crowded domains of Europe, whose hands are always now extended to generous and hospitable America, asking among us a home and r country. Your committee deem it important to tin availability and organization of the prosenl class of laborers upon whom we are, in th( main, now dependent, that there should be as far as possible, a uniformity of usage ii the matter of compensation to the laborer and an equitable and just fulfilment of al contracts. As your committee have adverted to th? fact that tho present supply of labor is in adequate to tho demand, the query arises how this difficulty is to be met? and the an Hwer is, by the introduction of immigrant from abroad. The practical success of thii remedy is fully established by reference t: what has boeu already accomplished by tin Immigration Society of Newberry, which with a capital of a few hundred dollars, i board of unsalaried officers, (save theil agent,) only a twelve-month's existence, an< without a State appropriation to back her has already introduced near 300 immigrant into her own and surrounding Counties, an< is now arranging for a mnch more extensiv introduction of laborers during the ensuit)] season. The laborers she has introduce' are, with very few exceptions, giving uui versal satisfaction to their employers, an< the greater the increase in the number c employees introduced, the more will the bo contented and pleased; and when one you have gathered together on Carolina' soil the first few thousand of these skille and able-bodied laborers, you will hav formed a nucleous which you will haye n difficulty in gathering, to an indefinite e: tent, a thrifty, industrious and honest clai of laborers. To accomplish this desirable end will ri quire a concentration of effort-a union < all tho friends of thin moasure ?round oe common centre. Tho Newberry Society organized and working successfully; it hi facilities which perhaps no other organizi tiou can, for a longtime, if ever, secure, au it is highly desirable that some arrangemei be made by which the operations of tin society could be made available to all thoi portions of tho State adapted to the intr d.lotion of foreign labor-a desiderata) which tho wisdom and influence nf this co vention might, with no great difficulty, s Ciire. The Conven I ion took a recess from hal past 1 until 1 P. M. Tho following resolutions were adopted itv Col. J. P. Thomas: Whereas," it deemed important to put this society in effective operation at au early period, at at once t? placo before its members an o joct practical and substantial: be it, theil fore.

The conception is original, au the whole plan on a Rcalo of magnificen< i hitherto unapproaohed in the history of tl j world. No doubt it will prove a grand su ' cess, and if the Southern people really ht j "peaoe," no doubt they would cheerful unite their voices iu tho grand jubilee. Bi j they foel that they are yet captives of wa in a strange lund, and cannot "sing tl .songs of Zion." We regret to say, to that they consider, aud from just reason tho Stnto of Massachusetts, from when? spring these inspirations of peace, has dot moro than any other to fasten the chaii upon them. Still, wo approve of the jul loo. If we of the Son til cannot sing, ^ shall at least bo glad to seo our enemi sing. Music is a good thing, und ev< "hath charms to soothe tho savage breast It may soften bato and inspire a sonso justice on their part. Wo aro, therefore, < tho side of the jubilee, decidedly so, at hope to hear th.it millions, instead of tho Sauds, have swelled tho grand chorus "peace on earth and good will toward men [ St wannah Rep ubi ia ut. TERRIBLE FAMINE IK THE NORTH OP E I ROPE.-Advices by mail from tho countri ' on tho Baltic sea toll of a terrible aud wide extended famine now existing there. A lett says that the distress is indescribable. Frt tho 2;id of May to the 18th of August, lt year, no rain fell, uud the summer oro wore scorched. Bread can now bo scarct got, even at the most exorbitant price, an as tho roads are impassablu by reason of t extraordinary wet weather, no help ire abroad can roach the people. The debi tated condition of the population and th? herding together in tho larger villages, the hope, of getting food and shelter, L engendered disease, which is making fearl ravages. I Special Notices. j WITHOUT A GOOD DIGESTION-All other temporal blessings aro comparatively wortbloss. Tho dyspeptic millionaire, who has tried all the potions of thc modical profession in vain, and believes bis complaint to bo incurable, would givo half bis fortuno to bc freed from tho horrors of indigestion, and thus enabled lo enjoy t. . other half. Of course he would. Perhaps HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has bcon recommended to such a sufferer. Possi? bly ho baa turned from tho friend who mado tho suggestion with a sneer, intimating that he has no yatch in any ''patent medicine." If this has been tho caso, so much the worse for him. His incredulity dooms him to a life of misery. All tho luxuries which wealth can purchase are at his command. Not ono of them can give him plea? sure. His own irrational obstinacy is bis bane. Tho masses, happily for themselves, aro less skeptical, 'l here is such a thing as bigoted unbe? lief, as well as bigoted credulity, and a golden mean between tho two, which men and women who aro gifted with common sense adopt and pidiit by. These aro the class that patronize and recommend HOSTETTEU'S BITTERS. Why do they approve this famous anti-dyspeptic and auti bihons preparation? Simply because they have not been too much the slaves of senseless preju? dice to give it a fair trial, and have found that when all other tonics, stimulants and stomachics tailed, it produced tho desired effect. "Strike, but hoar," said the Roman sage, when his ignorant enemies were assailing bim. "Doubt, but try," says tho man who has been cured of in? digestion, or biliousness, or intermittent fever, bj thc Bitters, as ho relates his experience of thc medicine to his invalid friends. Whoever is sc wedded to his own foregono theoretical conclu? sions, as to declino to test tho properties of r medicine endorsed by tho testimony of intelligonl mon in every walk of lifo, and approved by thc peoplo at largo, descrees to suffer.
