COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Moruinjr, October 28,1860. Tbc Development of South Carolin?. We wrote, not long since, of the deve? lopment of Columbia. We riae now to n broader thorne, and to oue in which we aro not less interested-the development of the resources of this State. In tho first place, it is undeniable that this State hos many natural advantages. Providence has given us the blessings of the soil, the blessings of health, the blessings of climate. Standing between tho cold of tho North and the heat of tho extreme South, we escapo the disadvan? tages of both, and enjoy the golden moan. The low country with its const, its rioe and long cotton; the middle country with its varied products; the up? country with its grain and other pro ducts, have each their special attractions. The question now might well nrise, how are tho resources of tbe State tu be fully doveloped? Wo refer now to tho mate? rial im pro vernen t of South Carolina. To state first general principles, it may bo laid down as a role, that no State can be folly developed, unless by diversified in? dustry, all the energies and all tho capa? bilities of the people are thoroughly evoked. To draw these forth, no one industrial parsnit will suffice-hence the proposition that is generally accepted, that'agriculture, manufactures and com? merce or trade, are the three great inte? rests that should alike be sustained. Ii. is 'their harmonious combination that will bring a full and well-rounded pros? perity. We notice that no less a mau than Father Hyacinthe-in a speech at the Pea oe Congress-has thrown out some ideas on this very point. He said : "I have now a word to say of interest. Earthly interests are great things. They uro full of ideas and of virtues; and, after nil, since Ood has placed ns on earth-it is not for the purpose of dreaming of Heaven either, but for the purpose of deserving it-it is by the oonquest of tho earth that man marches to the conquest of Heaven. The sacred Book tells us that God in His wisdom has made man to establish this world in justice and truth. These are words which we can? not too well meditate or apply. Gentle? men and ladies, tho justice of man to the earth, is agriculture, industry and com? merce. Agriculture holds the first place. This earth, wrappod in n lethargic slum? ber, is wakened by the vigorous arm of the laborer; she drinks tho sweat of the man; she is intoxicated with that bitter and holy liquor, and taking n disgust for her native barbarism, she bends herself active and joyous to the culturo which transforms aud fertilizes her. Behold tho earth, established in j us tico and truth, becomo tho nurse of multitudes, oponiug her large breasts to tho mon of all nations, aud pouring upon them in great Hoods that physical lifo without which the moral life itself would speedily bo drained. The peasant 1ms purchased these riches, which, with a just pride, ho hands over to tho workman of our manu? factories, saying to him, 'Brother, finish my work and commence thine; pursue the great labor prescribed to humanity by God;' and tho industrial workman takes the fntit of agriculture. Ho calls from every whore tho concealed or rebel? lious forces of nature. He conquers that which is rebellious, ho elicits that which is concealed, und ho creates in his turu those other marvels which are tbe last work of man and of matter in the sphere of the useful, ns the arts aro their last work in tho sphere of the beautiful. And when tho peasant aud the mechanic have done their work, then commerce opens her broad wings, spreads her sails to the breeze, her engines boil und roar, her vessels furrow tho setts, her chariots of fire traverso the earth; the arteries of tho peoples open themselves on every hand, in order that tho blood of the same civilization, the seat of the samo moral ideas and tho same material pro? ducts, may flow throughout all humuui ty." So much, now, for general principles. lu the light of these, let us consider how we shall proceed to develop South Caro? lina. Our object is not so much to enter into details as to suggest food for thought. In the first plaoe, as the Priest has said in the extract we have given, "Agriculture holds the first place." Many of our readers have, no doubt, rend the classic story of Antioas. It is said that SO long as this character touched his mother earth, ho gathered now strength. Tho fabio may well illustrate the power that comes from the soil. In South Carolina tho agricultural interests form tho basis of all other interests. Our pcoplo must seo to it that this de? partment receives tho attention it de? serves. Lot them touch tho soil willi scientific skill, with unflagging zeal, with all tho modern appliance , and, An ttois-liko, they will derive strength.from tho contact. But thora is another inter? est. Wo will assume that agriculture has produced its fruit. Tins fruit, tin manufacturer or "tho industrial work man" takes up, and thence open new sou revs of profit, uso and wealth. Ht creates those marvels which are "lin work of man and of matter iu the sphort of the useful." But this is not all. Wt will suppose that tho farmer and the me chame have done their work. The great interests of trade next follow in l?gica! ordar^^'iThen^ com^|Ho. opens her broad ?rings, |pread?, $?er kaili; tot the breeze, hor engines boil and roar, her vossola furrow tho sean, her chariots of fire traverso tha? earth." These are, iu doed. tho tl reo great interests Tn South Carolina. Let Charleston look to com? merce and direct trude with Europe. Lot all tho State, from tho seaboard to the mountains, from tho Pedue to tho Sa? vannah, look to agriculture and manu? factures, and wo shall be filling the ob? vious programme bofore us. Wheu we suggest that it is incumbent upon UH to develop all our interests of farming, mining, manufacturing and trading, we havo suggested tho liuo of success to the State. Wo shall continue, in tho future, ns heretofore, now and thou, hero and there, to indicate the special ways and means of accomplishing this great work of a throc-fold development. Tho Now York Tribune, commcntiug ou tho recently published statistics of tho Confederate army, says: "We repent the expression of our firm conviction th.it the Confederacy never put 100,000 men iu liue of battle at any moment, nod hud not 50,000 meu iu its encampments nrouud Manassas Junc? tion, when McClellan stood inactivo and irresoluto for months beforo those en? campments, nt tho head of 150,000 to 200,000 of the best men that ever shoul? dered arms. Wo aro further confident that he had 10,000 more men in hand, aud, but for indiscriminate, furloughs, would have bad 25,000 more than Lee, wheu tho latter commenced his move? ment on our right flank, which caused .Little Mack'-after standing tamely by . nd seeing ono-third of bis army smashed by two-thirds of Lee's-to destroy or abandon millions' worth of provisions and munitions, and commence a precipi? tate 'flank movement' to the James." No doubt, observes tho Macon Tcle graph, tho leading Northern papers will soon fiud occasion, in their quarrels, to push inquiries into all tho conditions of relativo strength aud equipment between the f orces of Gen. Grant and Lee iu thc memorable campaign which terminated at Appomattox. When those aro known to the people, thero will bo not one drop of glory left in that campaigning, except for those who stood on tho defence. An exchango well says, "Policy look;^ to tho middle-wisdom, to tbe end." Such was tho wisc aphorism of Sir Rich? ard Raker, iu ouc of tho finest passaget of his quiiiut old ' 'Chronicle of the Kingi of England." We aro reminded of il when we reflect on tho wariuess of North eru manufacturing capital in Reeking iu vestment in tho South. Thc policy o political bigots and over cautious capital ists combines with iuuoceut ignorance ti prevent the udveuturo of Northern Bkil aud Northern dollars iuto tho richest hurvost of Southern manufactures cvci bef?te odored to the enterprise of mau Wisdom will, oro long, overleap thc bar riers, and basten to tho end. A SIGNIFICANT FACT.-That thc natura iudoleuco of the Southern negro is a foi midablc bar to bis elevation aud pro gross, ovou tinder his improved condi tiou, is illustrated every day. A fact de serving of notioois incidentally mention ed by tho New Orleans limes, (Rcpubli can,) of tho 17th instant, which speak of tho arrival of a large number of mon upwards of 100, from Illinois, to worl on tho sugar plantations of Messrs Walker & Bronson, Bronson & Thomp son, J. B. Lyon Sc Co., and Gravenburg on tho Bayou Tocho. They were brough from Chicago to Now Orleans for $18.5? each, by contract with the Illinois Cen tral Railroad. They are hired especial!; to tako off the sugar crop. Think o sonding for white laborers several huu dred miles, paying 818.50 per head, nm workiug them at a profit iu cotupetitic; with blacks, in an occupation and on soi where tho latter have all tho advantage What has become of the thousands c valuable black laborera who formerl swarmed on tho Parishes of Louisiana Are they till dead? or wou't they work except under compulsion? [New York Republic, It is stated that Colonel Lu wm nc Orton Williams, who has for six yoai been supposed to have been cxeoutod a a spy at Franklin, Tonn., iu 18G3, no' tums up alive, married to a wealth Cuban lady, and in commaud of a reg; mout of insurgent "black-horso" cavalry lighting Spaniards in tho "ever-faithft mle." Thc story is almost too romani i to bo true. A young gentleman of Wurrcnsbtirf. Mo., offered a premium of forty-five do lars for tho prettiest girl attending th Johnson Comity Fair. Miss Eilo Bettes, a very beautiful young lady, r? ccived the premium.

Oct 10 The probable effect of emancipation in producing the ultimate extinction of the black race in Am?rica i? foreshadowed in an elaborate medical report recently presented to the Stat o Medical Society of Kectneky in relation to the relative fecundity of women of different uationa and conditions. In support of tho as? sertion that labor tends to increase fe? cundity, and indolence aud luxury tho reverse, many historical illustrations wore adduced; muong which were numerous statistics from various parts of the South? ern States, showing that ina gi veli pop? ulation, where threu children were born during slavery, one, or less than one, is born now, and that nt least fifty percent, j of the children of the freed people die ! during the first year of infancy. It is : added that thc immorality of the eman-1 cipated slaves has even more to do with their increased sterility than othor causes. 1 [iVeio l'orfr World. Archibald J.

Tho amalgamation is effected ou terms of equal financial strength, tho surplus of the Piedmont being 8276,337, and that of tho Arlington, 8270,270. Tho capital stock of each is $100.000. The combined assets amount to $1,500, 000, whilst the number of policies issued in the first two j-ears of organization is 8,000. The union thus brought about, ns will bo seen by this showing, gives immediate weight tu thc new company, and confers upon it at once equal rank with many of tho old compuuies in amount of assets and number of risks. It starts afresh with a broader base und a surer average, whilst the burden of taxes aud running expenses is very ma? terially lightened, aud tho interests of tho policy holders proportionately ad? vanced. No right of tho old ]>olicy holders will bo effected ; they will cou tiuuo to pay tho same rate as beforo ; to hold the same policies ; to have the samo privileges, with increased benefits.

Terr's LIVER PILL IS NOT A j PATENT MEDICINE, yet its composition (the result of years of study) is known [ only to himself, and so palpable are their j valuable curative properties, that very 1 many of the first physicians iu the South and West have adopted them in their ' practice, and recommend them to their I patients. 023G --- - Head tho following testimonial: ! Messrs. Ztjilin d> Co.-GENTLEMEN: I i have used SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR, not only once, but often, and can con I fidently assert it has done me more good \ than nuy other mcdiciuc I ever used. I think it is the greatest medicine for dis I cased liver, made in the world. Many of j my ueigkbors have used it, and all will I say as much, if not more, than I do, for its virtues. I shall never be without it. O 23:3 JOHN J. ALLEN, Bibb Co. j GOOD ADVICE.-Let our possessions be j what they may-marble palaces, brood lauds, magnificent plate, or caskets of "precious stones"-they all sink in the j balance against Heaven's great boon I HEALTH, and they cannot be enjoyed without it. And yet how little is it va? lued, aud how carelessly preserved. The ' laws of nature cannot be violated with i impunity. Night revelry, luxurious Hv I iug, irregularity of meals, and a disor : dered appetite, will gradually destroy the I power aud activity of the stomach. How mauy ladies and gentlemen eat and drink disease at late suppers, and arise in the morning with headache, los.-, of appetite, feeling languid and unrefreshed.
