? . COLUMBIA, S. C. Thurau iv .?orniuR, Sept. 2, 1868. OM Preinit Lal?or-IIB Condition , and, I mp rovo me ?t. , ' ? Ho wo vcr mon may differ, aa to tho .pro? per labor required in the Sortth, this proposition ia universally accepted-that li devolves upon UR to utilize-to make the moat of the freed labor in onr midst. We propos? ia tins"article"'Co'oonsider, first, the preaon t condition of that labor ; and, secondly, tho means of its improve SSES??SU . ' 'MV i IL' IJ] ' According, to the census of 180 J, the totabaurobor of slaves ju all tho States and Territories of the United States was 8,968,760! ,Tfae number in the ten cot? ton States was 8,030,245. Of these, it 1B estimated that lesa than 1,200,000 were employed in the cultivation of cotton. Daring tho war, tho los? by death in the nogro population has been estimated at from DOO,000 to 1,000,000. Hut this is Only ono ol the onuses that bas operated to rod ace the number of cotton laborers? Tho flocking from the cotton fields to tho villages, towns and cities; the in? creased mortality amongst those people; the retiring of the'women from the field; these causes have contributed further to diminish tho labor in cotton culture. Hence, 'lt-1,200,000 negroes were em? ployed in the cultivation of cotton before tho war, it ia safe to aluino that not more than 600,4)00 are now thus employ? ed.' And assuming 200,000 whites are engaged ia tho same work, it would fol? low that the -present foros in the South cannot afford - an annual yield of more than 3,400.000 bales of cotton-taking as an Average th reo bales per baud. Another conclusion follows from our figures, viz., this: That tho scarcity of labor is very marked. Bat this is not the point to which We are now directing attention. Our present object is to sug? gest that three-fourths of the labor upon which wo depend for the development of our great staple is African labor. Snob, being the case, and that labor being present, available, cheap and trained, the importance of its encouragement and utilization must at once appear. Admit that it is demoralized to some extent that ic is tampered with-that it is po? litically used' against us-that it mast decrease in strength and effioiency-not the less on ? these accounts, must we make the most of it. Admit that it should be supplanted or supplemented. Admit that European immigrants and Asiatic reinforcements are imperiously demanded by the exigences of the case. Admit all this, and still is it good polioy to foster and use to the best advantage the services of the freedmen of tho Sooth. This now brings OB to the second point of oar article, how shall this labor be improved? 1. By habitual superintendence. The time has passed when the farmer or plauter eau stay in the house and expect the labor in the fields to go on. As the sayiDg is, he must take the leading fur? rows, or, at le.ist, he must be on hand to urge ou and speed the work. 2. The contracta made between em? ployer aud employees should be rigidly executed. 3. The wages allowed should be as liberal os the farmer can afford, and thc work exacted of the laborers; not for? getting that tact, fair dealing and good management can get a good deal of work oat of men, white as well as black. 4. Tho laborers and their families should be made os comfortable in their homes as possible-the houses of the different families being placed somo dis? tance apart, and a liberal garden-patch allowed to each cabin. We are aware of the many short? comings attributed ip our colored labor? ers. We kuow that their political con dnot has embittered the minds of many of the Southern proprietors. Yet it is oar duty to bear and. forbear. Let o largo share of responsibility be attached to the demagogues, white, black, foreign and domestic, who have misled and are exoiting this ignorant and impressible class. Not let it be forgotten that it if seldom wise to adopt any policy that is based simply on resentment. Hence il is that, whilst no one can feel more acutely than ourselves the necessity ol introducing Northern and European la bor into our section, we hold fast to the polioy of educating, improving and util iziug the colored labor in the South. THE OPENING OP THE CAMPAIGN.--^ considerable radical meeting took place herc, on Saturday last, in the grove o: the mole academy. A large crowd o: negroes was presont. H?ge spoke, Iienlf. spoke. Prince Hivers spoke Jackson, a whit? member of the Legis lature from Charleston, spoke. The speakers were lond and the negroe: were loud. Wo heard the noise at a dis tance. This meeting, we supposo, it view of the election in the fall of 1870, may be cnlled thc opening of the cam paigu.-Edyefield Advertiser. mm Unat Speech ?t Kdgofleld Court Home ing bislong s&noe,. hJPj mane fjipaVcb.

He makes bis fermai debut at Edge field Court House, and in their very den be beards tho Jip o s of Edgefield, and tells thein to^betoare.1 * Whether "sedi? tious laxryurs or" incendiar j ?editors''-let thom bewaro! Tho oyo of tho Ejecutivo is upon them, und "these men are all perfectly' known." We'have said that Mr. Hog? bas made a speech. Let us inquire what kind of speech this was. In the first place, the ex-Judge states that he speaks by authority,-be has con? versed both with General Grant and GQV. Scott-what, therefore, be has to say is by order; "will be, authoritative because in harmony with, the views of bath tho State and National Govern? ments," and, therefore, as the orator adds, "will be ot interest to ali both white and colored, not only in this Coun? ty, but in tko Counties ali along tho Sa? vannah River"--observe this "all along the Savannah River." He then goes on to tell how magnanimous-bow consid?? rate-bow impartial bis Excellency bns been in bis administration. But all this has been of no avail, particularly in Edgefield. Aud, therefore, he is com? missioned to say that the majesty of the law must and shall bo vindicated-mar? tial law will be proclaimed--and then let "seditious lawyers and incendiary edi? tors" look out. One thing, the ex-Judge will say for himself, and that is "if auy moro of those border ruffians of Georgia como into this Stato to pillage and out? rage peaceable citizens, catch them and bang them to the first pine limb you como to." But ho wants peace. The mission of tho Executive organ to Edgefield was "ono of peace." Particularly does ho expect ex-Confederates to keep their parolo and tb keep tho peace. But if they do not, lot them bear this in mind, "the power wbiob subdued tho great re? bellion of all the Southern States can take caro of Edgefield County." The orator then in bis discursive and hetero? geneous style speaks of the magnanimi? ty of the radical party in its course to? wards tbe ?South, and in a few lines dis? poses of tbo Chinese... He "bas seen thousands of them in California." They are a miserable class, and "these are tbe pooplo this wise and progressive Demo? cratic party hopo to flood tho country with; first, to crush you out, and, second? ly, that they may re-establish slavery 1" The colored mau now votes-that is set? tled-but be bas another glittering bait to bold out to the colored people. "Wo are now moving," says the speaker, "to other questions nnd measures of vital importance to the people, and prominent among theso is the effort and determina? tion to secure farms for the poor." In a few years-say four or five-every voter, white and black, will bo on farms of their own, and then follows a poetical picture of an Arcadian stato of society, where every black mau will sit down under his own vino and fig-tree, and where "the sorrows of tho past will be forgotten in tho joys of the present, and the land will bud and blossom and bring forth its fruits for you, and pour ita treasures into your laps." J Cries of "Amen, thank God."] '* One thought more, and tho great orator closes. The Democrats accuse us of being in favor of social equality. 3To meet this, he tells his hearers, in n vein of humor, bf a proposed bill to be passed at the next session of the Legis? lature, of which tho following is the title: "An Act entitled an Act to amend an Act entitled tbo Act of God." And no*w comes tbe peroration. He wishes his hearers peace and prosperity, ?ud quoting from another, says: "Although tboro are scenes which have been burned into our momories us with letters of living fire, wo should try to trout them as visions of a distempered dream. Groat intellects expand, but pigmies contract even their limited ideas. Lot us, therefore, clasp every band ex? tended in earnest amity. Let us ignore bygones, and an oblivious veil will cast a mellowing buo over sections long es? tranged, and lingering enmities will bo ns readily obliterated as the waving wheat buries all traces of gory battle-fields be? neath a ripe and golden harvest." Wo have no special comments to make upon this great effort of Mr. H?ge, who, after the contest bas been concluded and the smoke of battle clears away, appears upon the empty battle-field, raising bis crimson banner, and brandishing the avenging sword, and making flattering promises. * t The speech speaks for itself. Its flip? pant tono, its inflammatory Style, its se? ductive appoals, its sophomoric character, its nerveless sentences, and its transpa? rent humbugfgOT, .a^stomp it as charac? teristic of Mr. Hoge'a party. For .the rest, wo commit the Hon. Mr. Hogs to I the tender mercies ot i^e Edgefleld,Ad Ivertiscr and of "tbat healthy speehaen lof ??ma**" ai Mr. ]^PlS^h#Ptor> Hof the Crmrlgton We make the following' e^rafe* trot* General Roseucr?ma'8 letter;^ .. '-j ' . Yielding to noue iu sincere dovolicn to the D?mocratie representative govern? ment, of w?ioh I cousider our own the best model the world has yet seen, at nearly fifty," with nome knowledge of men and some experience in governing them, I am still a Democrat, from study, conviction and n sentiment of brother? hood with my fellow-men. I therefore deem it a duty, under the circumstances of this nomination, to ruako a few sug? gestions os to the fundamental princi? ples which I think ought to underlie every local Democratic platform. What of old g.?ve the Democratic party in tho United States its prestige sud spirit, was its profound faith in "tin} eapucity of mau for self-government and progress, uoder institutions based on the great principles of liberty, fraternity and equality before the law, and its .courage in currying tho logic of its faith into action. Thence arose that discipline, order and progres? sive originality which -have marked its history and made its victorious banner the symbol of hope to lovers of freedom at home and abroad,, while in thc nature ? of things it became the rallying point of office-seekers and political adventurers, whoso timid and time-serving counsels sometimes impaired tho energy-erf its action, add proveoted the vigorous de? velopment or its principles. But after a great civil war which has changed the face of politics, the instinctive Demo? cracy of the American peoplo remains, aud the events of the wur have increased its confidence in free institutions and in tho capacity of the peoplo to adapt them to the exigencies of a national life. In spite of dreamers after imperialism or consolidation; in spito of those whoso only politioal principles are thc apparent expediencies of the law, who, knowing that civilized man must have government are always contriving tricks aud schemes to make themselves tho favored few ordained to govern, and bo paid for it; iu fipite of those who consider it a wenk aud failing experiment, thc heart of the great body of car people beats warmly, and its judgment moves instinct with its old Democratic feelings and conviction. Appeals should therefore be made to these instincts and convictions by assert? ing the fundamental principles which ought to govern the future development of this great and free country, and the proper times and places announcing such measures of policy, based on them, as the exigencies of the nation's lifo and action may require. The country requires, and the Democratic party ought ta bo a party of principle, a party of life,'of action and of progress. Fossils and fault-finders do not properly belong to the party, and if found in it ought to go on tho retired list, leaving to its oppo? nents, of all shades and grades, all narrow and sectional grounds, all monopolies and favoritism, based on class, creed, race, color or national origin. The De? mocratic party of tho United States onght to hold high the banner of universal free? dom, impartial justice und equality be? fore the law of all who live beneath the flag of our country. A fact of our history, expressed on our coat of arms by the words "J? Piuribus Unum"-many in oue-is, thnt we hove grown many distinct substantially self governing communities, under one coun? try or general sovereignty. To cease to bo many, or to be one, would interrupt this law of our historic life. Tho self-government of the peoplo by States, and the unity of the natiou, aro essential laws of our past growth and life, of which our written Constitution is but the formal expression, and must be fundamental with tho national Demo? cracy, whose policy must be broad enough and wiso enough to maintain the ono without weakening tho other. It is tho combined action of tho two principles which gives our Democratic representa? tivo system its power of expansion, and makes it work to the wonder and admira? tion of European statesmen and philoso? phers. Leaving tho right of solf-go vorument to tho people, and removing from the States nil the burdens of armies, navies, lines of fortifications, diplomatic representatives, coinage, postal system and that host of offices which subtract from productivo industry and devours its products in the States of Europe, it frees commerco and travel from varying standards of weights, measures and va? lues from State tariffs, passports and f.,/ying otlioi: 1 ism, and provides that thc citizens cf one State may obtain redress or payment of claims from those of an? other without the interminable opera? tions und d lays of diplomacy by the in? tervention of courts of law. Based on these laws of our law and growth, and repudiating tho doctrine that "might makes right," American De? mocracy holds that liberty consists in the obedience of all to just law; that these laws should be tho fewest and simplest possible, leaving tho utmost individual freedom of thought and action, consist? ent with equal rights and impartial jus? tice; and where individual action must be regulated bylaw, seeking always "the greatest good to tho greatest number." This ia the Democracy I believe in, and to which I am proud to belong. The New Orleans Times has tho fol? lowing: "Lost-A President; answers to the name of Ulysses. HOB a persistent expression, and is hard of speech. Is dressed in army uniform, and addicted to smoking. When last heard of was fishing in the wilds of Pennsylvania. Whoever will return the said eatray to politicians and beads of department at Washington will be liberally rewarded." Tho immortal "J. N." annouuees tl.at he will "lift the vail" from Tennessee politics on the 15th inst, in Knoxville. .i, .Jim.,?,..,, ??mvfuj? ?-,.-,.. -+ = , ?/^toceedingf of Council.

Tho Committeo on Streets submitted the followiug report: The Committeo on Streets beg leave to submit the report of Mr. James Fraser, Street Overseer, of tho expendi? tures in building n culvert on Plain street, on tho direct route to the South Carolina Penitentiary. From tho report, it will be seen that the expense to the city amounts to 8332.81; while thc actual value of the work done, at a low estimate for con? tractor's prices, would amount to 82,404.50, thereby effecting a saving to the city of $2.131.09. This work bas been done under thc superintendence of Mr. Fraser, the Street Overseer, who is entitled to great credit for the permanence with which tho cul? vert has been constructed, which, from present appearances, will remain in good condition as long as any other work of a similar kind. Your committee foel that they are much indebted to Gen. C. J. Stoibrand, Superintendent of tho South Carolina Penitentiary, for materials to build the culvert on Plain street, and for labor in constructing tho same, and in open? ing said street to tho Penitentiary, to whioh they attribute the great saving made in tho report of the Street Over? seer, which, apart from tho convenience of having a direct road to tho Peniten? tiary, will ultimately enhance the taxable property on the lino of said street. Your committee, therefore, beg leave to offer tho following vote of thanks to General Stoibrand: Resolved, That tho City Council of Co? lumbia, appreciating the kindness of Gen. C. J. Stoibrand, Superintendent of South Carolina Penitentiary, in furnish ishing labor and materials to construct tho culvert on Plain street, and in open? ing said street to tho Penitentiary, do, in behalf of themselves and tho citizens of Columbia, tender to him their thanks. Resolved, That the City Clerk furnish to General Stoibrand a copy of the fore? going resolution. Your committee would state that, with tho exception of filling up at the culvert, tho material for which nre already dug up by the Penitentiary hands, this work is completed, and will beentiroly finished iu course of next week. Thc drain iu Davis' alloy is progres? sing rapidly, and yonr committeo would recommend that all wagons larger than those drawn by ono horso bo prevented from driving in said alley, until the work becomes permanently settled. Also, that thc owners of tho property bo re? quired to lower tho cellar doors in tho alley to tho grade of tho same. Re? spectful! v sumbitted. JOHN AGNEW, JACOB HUSSUNG, Committee.

To Uyt Editor of Ute, Columbia Phoenix; Your Fairiiold correspondent, l,ibef?l iat, expresses bis "belief that the posi? tion assumed by tho Winnsboro News meets with little sympathy in the Dis? trict, and does not represent thc senti? ments of oar people." Without ns good opportunity, perhaps, to know as Libe? ralist, I am yet certain that many ol onr oitiaens, formerly good Democrats and always solicitous for tho honor and. wel? fare of South Carolina, are disposed to give thc anti-radical course recommend? ed, by onr editor, very serious conside tion. DEMOCRAT. A REMINISCENCE OF BYRON'S BOON COMPANION, CAPTAIN MEDWIN.-The moral atmosphere in which Byron's on tire life waa spent 'was for tho most part very far from pure. A few years ago the writer of this article, then residing in a Gorman university town, accidentally became acquainted with the samo Cap? tain Medwin who was authority for the "Dear Duok" commencement of Lady Byron's lotter-at that time an old man, decrepit with ago, enfeebled by disease, and melancholy withal because of the recent death of un elderly lady with whom hd lind lived in tlioso relations of platonic intimacy hallowed by the mutual attachment of Cowper and and Mrs. Unwin. A casual acquaintance with this unhappy man was sufficient to dissipate the last vestige of that fool hady admiration which everyone in boy? hood conceives for the wild lifo led by Byron and his fellow roues at Nowstend. Captain Medwin had como of a good family-being a cousin of Shelley-waa a tine scholar, having mude the acquaint? ance of tho classic writers in their own language and on what is left of their own soil, und in his day had enjoyed somo reputation ns a man of letters. But as I knew him ho could havo been only thc wreck of what he had been once. Iiis face bore unmistakable evi? dence of a mau ill at oase. Ile was crabbed, fretful, misanthropic, and, I fancied, jealous of the well-earned repu? tation of the mon who role in the Eng? lish realm of letters at tho present time. Ho ridiculed Tennyson, and spoke disap? provingly of Bulwer; but complimented Longfellow, and declared that ho would rather havo written Poe's "Baven" than any other poem of the present century. I know not whether he still survives, but if he doos not, death has done for him a more friendly office than was in the power of friend or relative; it has soothed a spirit to which a life misspent had made rest impossible here. [Portland (Me. ) Advertiser, Victor Cousin had a laundress in whom he took a good deal of interest, having known her sinoe she was an apprentice. Ho one day said to her: "My dear child. have you ever read anything by me?" "No, M. Cousin." "Would you like to read something I have written?" "Oh, yes! M. Cousin." He went to a book? case, took out a duodecimo volume, "Le Vrai, le Beau, lo Bien," and gave it to tho laundress, who went her way de? lighted. At tho end of the month she brought, ns usual, her bill. M. Cousin examined it and said: "Hem! total, Kif. 25c, from which wc must deduct 3f. 5Uc. for tho book you bought t'other day-balanco 9f. 25c. Here are Kif. ; you may keep the 25c. for yourself, my dear." "Was Lincoln a Catholic?" is a ques? tion still discussed with much earnest? ness in tho religious journnls. A Mr. M-, writing from Paris, affirms that the late Bishop of Detroit told him he had many times heard the confession of young Abo Lincoln. We do not seo that tho matter is ono of very great impor? tance now, one way or the other. WHAT IT WILL DO.-Judge by what it has done. Heiuitsh's QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT.

In tho Sonth, where liver complaint and biliouf, diseases prevail to so great an extent, there has long been folt a need of a medicino that would act specifically and promptly on the Liver, rostoring it to its normal functions, and at the same timo bo safe from after effects, and yet so simple that it might bo used by any one. It is claimed that Dr. TUTT'S VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS supplies this want. Thoy act directly on the Liver; their constant uso will not injure in the slightest degroo the most delicate consti? tution. Females at any period may uso thom with great benefit, and realize great relief from tho distressing nausea which they experience at certain times. These pills are not recommended as a universal cure-all, but simply for diseased Liver, and those maladies which follow a de? rangement of that important organ, such as Dyspepsia, Sick Hoadacho, Indiges? tion, Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies' Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foal Breath, Restlessness at night, and Flatu? lency. These invaluable pills may bo found In every Drug Store of anv note in tho South abd West. A286 WE havq .received the September nu ru? bor of the ATX Century.

A28 JG PRETTY WOMEN.-A comparatively few Ladies monopolize the Beauty as well as tho attention of Society. This ought not to be so, but it is; and will be whilo men aro foolish, and single ont pretty faces for companions. This can ali be changed by using Ha? gan's Magnolia Balm, which gives the Bloom of Youth and a refined sparkling Beauty for the Complexion, pleasing, powforful and natural. No Lady need complain of a red, tan? ned, freckled or rustic Complexion who will invest 75 cents in Hagan's Magnolia Balm. Its effects are truly wonderful. To preserve and dress the Hair, use Lyon's Kathairon. AI7 ?13 A distinguished Methodist minister and prominent temperance lecturer once remarked that go where he would, from ono end of the country to the other, he hardly ever failed to find PLANTATION BITTERS, and while he condemned the practice of using these Bitters too freely, he eould not conscientiously say that he would discard them from tho side-board, for he had himself experienced beneficial results from their use, and that, from a tlong aud.close observation, ho was con? vinced that when used moderately, and as a medicino exclusively, they were all that was recommended. At the same time he warned his hearers not to pull the cork too often, for they wore far too pleasant a tonic to trifle with.
