Saturday Jao?aing, Sept. 18, 1869. Th? Small Pnrm Syitem-A^CT^Mlty in Our Pniint Condition. Wo Lave suggested* in those columns that it is inoumb^n? upon us in Sotrthi i Carolina to dorise eomo new Md effective mode o? attracting white settlers to this State. A more extensivo adoption of in vestment a in fae torios and nan of ac ! tares is one method daloulated tb accom? plish thia result. This Would briqjj. to oar flage?, Iowna . and cities an aocea^ sibh of ?killed labor most desirable. But the ?morn-'?Bedt?W'+?f -rs^/p^rhaps, to o&sutam?io ah attire ?hange aa rapid ly M possible i LI our land aye tom. At least in the upper and middlo portions of Sou^.O^in* tM large v plantations sti?WgfWyayto $he e^a^rxtirmB. % Ac" cording td the report of tho ' Commis? sioner of Agrioultui ? ?V? 1807, it appears that South Carolina ia credited with 33, 171'farms, averaging 488 acres caph. We suggest that it would bo better for South Carolina if there gpre ^00,000 farms of 160 acres each. And - our people must ootna to this. It is at once the duty and to tho interest of the land-owners to sub? divide and, sell to settlers a portion of their possessions. , *AOTX,NAjCT?r^S?yeral of our cotom porarics of 'be Georgia press are dis cussing the question of the formation of a new party, "embracing ?di the ele meDts of opposition to radicalism." It ia nrg?d that the retention of the De? mocratic organisation, with that name, is an 'obstacle to the overthrow of tho radicals, and' some new organization ought to bb formed against which tho prejudices engendered by former politi? cal contests could not be maintained. So,foi as we are concerned, we adhere tov tho opinion expressed several times BI"nee the close of the war, Tis: That this is a question for tho Northern oppo? nents of radicalism to determine, not fox us. 'As for the"people bf the South, affiliation with the Northern opponents of radicalism is to them a matter of ne? cessity. Thor have nowhere else to go. Whether that opposition be made in tho nama of Democracy, or with some new name, is all the samo to ns. We cannot afford to bo governed iu this matter by anything but principle. For us, in our present condition, to pay any regard to names, Would be the most nonsensical child's play. We can peat radicalism in the South, no matter what party nama we are known by. If oar friends at the North find the retention of the name Democratic prejudicial to their success in that section, lek them chunga it. But let not us of the Sonth concern our? selves about suoh a trivial matter as a party name?"when Cuestiona of so much greater weight demand our attention. "Them's our sentiments," briefly ex? pressed.-Columbus Enquirer. WHAT TUE LEADING DEMOCRATIC OR? GAN NORTH ; HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT.-In the course of a long article on the "Fu? ture Politics of the South," the New York World- tho leading organ of the Democratic party of the United States thus delivers itself on a topic that has greatly exercised a number of partisan presses at the South: Tho readiness with which the three Southern States that last year stood out against negro suffrage reconstruction now yield to the demands of Congress, is doubtless wiso under the circumstances; but it proves nothing as to the future po litical action of the South. This appa? rent triumph of the radical policy is pro? bably the immediate precursor of its downfall. The chief aim of the Repub 'ican party since the dose of the war, has been to prevent the Southern States acting in political co-operation with the Northern Democrats. The electivo fran? chise was oonferred upon the negroes, in plain violation of the Constitution, in the expectation that the negro vote would be universally anti-Democratic, and that it would be sufficient to turn tho scale against tbe Democratic party in the South, making that section the sore ally of the Republicans, as in former times it was of the Democrats. Tho acceptance of the situation by which Virginia, Mis? sissippi and Texas will regain their place in the Union will restore to the South its freedom of action, and put a speedy end to the hopes of the Bepublicau party. THE CENSUS-ERRORS m BLANKS FDB NISHED THE OFFICERS.-An examination of tbe blanks furnished by the Execu? tive Department of tho State to the con Bus-takers in this County will show that no oolumn is provided for persons be? tween the ages of 16 and 21 years. There are columns for those up to 6, be? tween 6 and 16, and above 21, and an aggregate oolumn for tbe above, but none for those botweon 16 and 21. Is all of the population between 16 acd 21 to be excluded from enumeration? If so, the representation which will be based on this enuu.orution will bo un? fair, aud our County made thereby to loso one Beprescntative in the House of Representatives. It will be an unreliable enumeration of the inhabitants of the State, and maka all of Mr. Sparnlck's statistics wrong.-Anderson Intelligencer. It is stated that there are 3,400 lodges of Odd-Fellows in this country, number? ing 300,000 members, who contributed in two years nearly 835.000,000, and ex? pended to widows, orphans, for burial, etc., abont 82,000,000. Indians attacked a wagon train near Antclopo Creek, Arizona, lately, but were defeated. Twenty iudiansand tb ee whites wero killed.

To-day, the centenary of the greatest naturalist of this age?-Alexander Yon Humboldt two .worlds amt oin p .yu g a wo rid-wide tribnto to his name, ac they haVo equally shared in tho benefits of his labors. His faro o is no longer confined to- the soil that i s limited by the flow of the great river or heralded only in the language of the fatherland. It is proclaimed in 'tho parliament of man-the federation of the world;' for it is the common property; as his deeds have been theoommon bene? fit, of mankind f* 'Peace has her victories no less re? nowned than wai*,' and her viotor is surely as deserving Of universal fame aa he wno has desolated a oontinent and rendered childless a generation, as a sac? rifico to his ambition. Not four weeks since, a nation, if not tho globe, com? memorated the hundredth birth-day of such a man. To-day, tho memory of another conqueror claims at least equal homage But how different were tho careers and tho victories of each. Both received the highest preparation ' for their profession? whioh the age afforded, and both attained tho highest honors of their following-a fact which perhaps may be commended to thoso who believe that in arms or soienoe the best is he who is self-mado and a worshipper of bia Maker. Both were endowed with the highest qualities they needed in their careers, and both used them to ad? vantage. Oue risked his life in pursnit of a bubble. At Lodi, Areola, and 'Marengo he won it; but it burst ot Waterloo. For the other there was a Jena in the university, and Ulm in bis tra veis and discoveries, a 'sun of Ansterlitz' in his -Kosmos.' These were triumphs in? deed; an honor to his name, a benefit to his race. ' lju ~ . "The history of Fr i cd erick Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt is the history of tho natural sciences of this century. Bat a decenninm sinco his death, he has been a promoter in almost every brandi of scientific discovery which at present engages the attention of natural philoso? phers. To say nothing of his own ob? servations in his numerous and extensive travels, or of the extraordinary research and ability which he displayed in treat? ing of created nature, in ascertaining new faots, and in forming from them new laws-a talent which he shared equally with Aristotle alone-it would be difficult to find a modern worker in the same school who does not own .Ham boldt as his master and predecessor. What he begnn, others have carried out. When he suggested, discoverers followed to success. He gave a new impulse to thc study of organic and inorgnnic nature; he made wonderful discoveries through? out all her domain; and ho showed how science might be popularized. To dis? cover was with him bnt a necessary re? sult of observation; tho induction oi new laws was as easy as tho discovery ol tho facts on which they were based; the popularization of theso laws nod their facts was a task which even Humboldt might aspiro to. But whatever he touched he adorned-Quod tetigit urna vit; and tho facts of scienco and their imnmtublo laws fell from Iiis lips, oi flowed from his pen, with a graco anil charm which only he, tho philosopher ol nature, could throw round a narration which-as the history of truth always will-seemed stranger than a fable. He did this for comparative anatomy and phj'siology, for ethnography and geo? graphy, for geology and many of it? kindred sciences. If he wore not the Law-giver who regulated the distribution of tho flora and fauna of the earth, he at least discovered and explained thc chief of His laws adjusting it. Othen havo surpassed him in special subjects and speoial observations, but he, the Admirable Crichton of natural science, has surpassed them all in tho extent and success of bis studies, winning in each a measure of fame which of itself would have immortalized him. "It is no mean praise to carry off the palm of science in an age like this, whioh compresses into a- day tho pro? gress of bygono oenturies. This was tho fumo of Alexander Von Humboldt. Before that, tho claims of warriors must palo. Napoleon is already an event oi an epoch of tho past, forgotten with hie victories, or only remembered, ns h< himself prophetically desired, as a Jus? tinian, the author c f bis immortal Code, Humboldt, alike the student and th( priest of nature, is living in bis disco veries, his disciples, his works, his bene fits to humanity." INTERESTING TO FABMEHS.-A new va riety bf oats, called tho Norway Outs have been tested by prominont planten in the South tho past season, and witl astonishing results. Wo learn that th< proprietors havo published the results o: these experiments, as stated by tbosi who tested them, with a f?llend interest iug history, illustrated, which any om interested eau havo freo, by addressini D. W. Ramsdell & Co., Box 5,689, Nev York. This matter is worthy of atten Hon, as it seems to indicate a nev branch of profitable, agriculture for th South.-Adv. - T?.?

Thc same reason fl oxibt to-dav for a closer political and commercial n?ianco for defensive purposes as have always exiatud -sinoe tho East developed its true spirit of lust of power and ambition: "THE STRENGTH OF THE SOUTH OCR STB?NOTH.-Providence has been most beneficent to the South. Tho South has tho staple products which control the precious metals in the markets of the world. And this year these staples, par? ticularly cotton, ha ve T boen most abun? dant. The cotton crop of 1860 will pro? duce a surplus of from $250,000,000 to $300,000,000. The surplus will be much larger than usual, as we of tho corn growing and pork-raising States of the West will speedily find out, because the Southern planter bas added farming to his other business, and has produced corn and beef and pork and mutton enough to feed his laborers-a thing he never did before. We are glad to chro? nicle such a result, for the sake of tho South, which will soon recover from its prostration by the war, and its subse? quent mismanagement. Wealth is a most eloquent pleader for whatever cause it advocates, and nowhere in tho world is wealth so potential as ibis at Washing? ton. A poor, supplicating, suffering South has been denied anything like justice, or even the rights of humanity; but a rich and prosperous South will bo sure of a very different reception. The members will not bo hostile nor indiffer? ent, nor tho lobby so inaccessible and re? fractory as they have so long proved themselves in tho history of the past. Thc fortunes of tho South have, there? fore, thanks to the golden crop of the year 18G9, passed the turning point. For so mnch wo are thankful, and ask leave to rejoice. "Thero is a further grouud of rojoicing. Whatever strengthens tho South, is strongth and health to the West. Al? though Southern demand for onr staples will not be this year so large ns it always was when tho cotton aud rico crops were good, because we have forced the South? ern agriculturists into cereals and tho growth of animals for food, that state of things will only last a year. It is so much more profitablo for the South to produce rico and cotton, that sho will re? turn to it altogether, and buy her grain and meat of the West as soon as possible, and then wo will resume our share in her prosperity-will take onr place in thc ancient partnership, and divide with her tho profits of the most splendid in? vestment on which tho snn ever shone. Until tho war, which was tho work of cotton-spinnors and protective tariffitcs working upon our weakness, the West was proud of the inter-dependence of thc two great sections of the Union, located in the Mississippi Valley. Now, thal tho time of awakening has come, and thc wretched dream with its horrid realities is over, wo record tho prospect of ro union and fresh amity between the Wes! and South with tho highest satisfaction, But it is not alone, nor chiefly for th< material consequences of her prosperity as connected with onrs, that wo rejoice over it. Wo have higher reasons, and thc main one of these reasons is, thal whatever strengthens the South strengthens tho cause of freo govern ment, of cheap, simple and rospousihh institutions. It is a synonym for fre< trade, low taxes, small expenditures hard money and a strict interpretation o the Constitution. Wo hope nono wil bo offended by theso truthful declara tions. If any desire tho verification, lo them ask themselves what tho fat sov opulence of Government-got money ii New England has done for the Missis sippi Valloy? It has destroyed frc trade; it has made oven air and watei dear by its axes; it has banished gok and silver; it has run up tho expenso o tho Federal Government to ten times tb reasonablo amount; it laughs to scon the Constitution. Old Thad, hissed ou in his placo as Chairman of Ways anc Means, that 'three-fourths of our law, are outside of Constitution,' and hi made one of the few honest declaration from his side of tho House. "Nothing but the prosperity in materia wealth is wanting at the South to put ti shameful rout nil such noodles as Phil lips, Greoley and Sumnor in tho manage ment of our public affairs. Souther] statesmen havo always held tho nation* ear and heart, because they were to< proud to lie, and too honest to cheat tb tax-payera. They wanted nothing thom solves, asked . for nothiug, would tak nothing withont a consideration, and by tho forms of law which have stolei half tho substanco of both farmers an? plantor6 alike, when these, acting toge thor, could bavo controlled legislatioi and kept it puro; co aid have given th country peace, and not tho sword.

THE LANDLESS!"-It is i good suggestion, thrown out by tba lively and sensible paper, tho Winns boro News, that tho great party which i preparing to grapple with and overthrow radical rulo in South Carolina, shouli enter tho contest with a bold and expli cit avowal of its policy aud determina tion to provide, in good faith and by le gitimate means, for the honest and home less poor, bo they blacks or whites, thos homesteads, the delusive promise o which has heretofore been so potent a element of success to the pack of kuave and adventurers who now control on Stato Government. Such a policy, whil it would be just and beneficial in itselJ would at onco rally to our support thor sands of voters in every section of th State, who are already moro than hal inclined to Bide with tho party of de cency, honor and truth. The laborin men, stung with disappointment at th contemptuous disregard of tho radier leaders for solemn pledges which wer never meant to be fulfilled, can now b readily made to understand that thci only real hope of becoming prosperou and independent land-owners, must b through tho co-operation of those wh have land to sell, mules to hire, plant( tion implements to lend, credit to us for tho advancement of supplies-ii short, tho power to do the very thing concerning which tho radicals have bee so lavish of empty promises. The blao man by this time fully comprehends thc the boasted enterprise of Land Commii sioner Leslie is nothing moro nor let than a huge job, and that tho only r< suit of tho scbemo will be to fill th pockets of a ring of official sncculatoi at the expense of the State. This is a that radicalism in Sonth Carolina hr done for its ignorant and credulous tool But tho land-holders of South Carolin by prompt and liberal action have it no in their power to diffuse content an good feeling among the laboring popuh tion, and to troble tho valuo of thci property, by ridding themselves ard tl Stato at once and forever of tho moi strous incubus of a government wbic has no policy for thc present but to oj press aud plunder, aud no thought f( the future beyond tho increase aud pe petuatiou of its own power to rob.

Scott, Comptroller Neaglo, Auditor Tomlinson, Superintendent of Education Jillson and Senator Robert? son. We learn that tho following now professors were elected: Dr. A. G. Mackey, the Nestor of the radical party in South Carolina, was elected Professor of Natural and Me? chanical Philosophy and Astronomy, ric? Dr. John LeCoute, resigned. Joseph A. Jones, of Georgia, Profes? sor of Chemistrj-, ?fcc, rice Dr. Joseph LeConte, rosigned. T. E. Heart, Esq., of Darlington, Professor of Mathematics, ?fcc, rice Gen. E. P. Alexander, rosigned. Dr. John Lynch, Demonstrator of Anatomy, vice Dr. Ed. D. Smith, re? moved. Dr. Mackey is well known in this State. His correspondence with Bowen, to say nothing of his previous elegant efforts, shows a command of language that may bo well in a professor; but, be? fore this, wo were not aware that he as? pired to natural and mechanical philoso? phy and astronomy. We suppose the idea of the Board was that his election would, at best, make tho University "see stars" from the telling blow it gets in his eleotion to a chair in tbat scat of learning. Dr. Jones, we are informed, , is of Georgia. "We do not know this professor. Professor Heart is a gradu? ate of the Citadel Academy-was a Pro? fessor in tho Furman University, and is a gentleman of high character and fino attainment. Dr. John Lynch is well known as ono of our local iihysicians. OUR BOOK TADLE.-Mrs. Henry Wood's new book, "Rolande Yorke," a sequel to "The Cbannings," by Mrs. Henry Wood, author of "East Lynne," is in press by T. B. Peterson ?fc Brothers, Philadelphia. It is printed from tho author's manu? script and advanced proof-sheets, pur? chased by them from Mrs. Honry Wood, atan expenso of ?150, in gold, and will be issued in America on Friday, Septem? ber 2i, simultaneously with its publica? tion in Europe. It is the best book that this distinguished authoress bas yet written. The following new books are having immense sales: Mrs. Sou th worth's "Bride's Fate," "Tho Changed Brides," "How He Won Her," and "Fair Play;" Mrs. Stephens' "Curso of Gold," "Ma? bel's Mistake," and "Doubly Falso," "Tho Woman in Red," and "Hans Brietmann's Ballads," complete and en? tire, in one cloth volume, with a glos? sary. "Ruby Gray's Strategy," by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, is tho titlo of an entire new novel from tho pen o' this talented American authoress, just publi-hed by T. B. Peterson <fc Brothers, Philadel? phia. Tho novels of Mrs. Stepheus aro productivo of both pleasure and excite? ment. They are, moroover, always suc? cessful, for tho reason, that while this gifted author is a conscientious follower of nature, she has also that flue artistic sense which teaches that natnre, when shown within tho lines of art, must be measurably heightened, colored and en? larged. This is tho real secret of success? ful writing-a secret appreciated by such masters of fiction as Dickons and Thack? eray. There is no previous work, pf Mrs. Stephons so full of her peculiar power and genius, none so absorbing in conception and development, as "Ruby Gray's Strategy." It is fully equal to bor "Fashion and Famino." It is issued in a largo duodecimo volume of 500 pages, and is for salo by all booksellers, at the low prioo of ?1.75 in doth, or $1.50 in paper cover; or copies will be sent by mail, to any place, post-paid, by the publishers, on tho receipt of the prico of tho work, in a letter to them.

Tho number of certificates from the most influential citizens fully establishes its virtues. Ono says: *'I think it the greatest medicine in the world." An? other says: "I consider it in val nab le in sick heakache, as it has not failed to give relief in uny instance." Another says: "I consider it indispensable in my family, and will never be without it." See advertisement. ? i S18?3 If tho ladies but knew what thousands of them are constantly relating to us, we candidly believe one-half of the weak? ness, prostration and distress experienced by them would vanish. James Marsh, Esq., 159 West Fourteenth street, New York, says, "he has three children, the first two- aro weak and pony, his wife having been unable to nurse or attend them, but she has taken PLANTATION* BITTERS for the last two years, and has a child eighteen months old, which she has nursed and reared herself, and both aro hearty, saucy and well. The article is invaluable to mothers," &c. Snch evidence might be continued for a volume. Tbe best evidence is to try them. They speak for themselves. Per? sons of sedentary habits troubled with weakness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, constipation, dia , betes, ?c., will find speedy relief through these Bitters.
