COLUMBIA, a c _i_--.. ? BatardayHorning, Vvnmbw 37,166?. Th? Inaneness RetMltttntf ?be H?<t'n Piwywl?y?-Ttm li?kw Convention. There is no reason why, ander a legiti? mate state of affairs, bartadny should uot ?ow exist between the classes of whites ?cd -K?okV in ? Booth Carolina. Thu colored man is now in the full enjoyment of civil and political rights, and so far as Stat? legislation is concerned, it is framed in his behalf. This harmony is de? sirable. The prosperity of tho Stat o is t*jb^;p>?mbted by it Tba solid inte reata of tho entire population depend largely upon it. Bot this harmony doea not exist In many portions of the State, a state bf affairs exists that does not pro? mise much for next year. Qov. Scott's incendiary proclamations and tho ?pr?ches of radical demagogues, are doing their work, and we shall doem tho State fortunate if it escapes scenes of violence that go beyond mero individual affrays. It becomes our duty to caution the mis? chief-makers-official nod unofficial against their mad suggestions. We lenru that in Abbeville especially, excitement exists. On last Saturday, wc uro told that Mr. H?ge addressed a large crowd of colored men in Abbeville, aud advised them net tc work for tho whites unless they received ns wageB half they made and their weekly rations. This, it is said, mado them wild. They over-ran I Abbeville Court House for two days, and ou Monday, ovor 100 of these excited colored persous accompanied Hogo and Qu Diu to Hodge's Depot, where they met quite a reinforcement, nud called on Gaffln for a speeoh. Ho gave them n few words, and, bi conclusion, said: "Within three feet Of where I stand, tho noble Randolph was killed,1 and his death should now he avenged by you." Much other incendiary language was used, but this was enough. CVnffia then came to this city, and tho negroes returned to the Court House, where they' hold u j meeting, and, it ia .said, arranged u pro- j grammo of violence!" ' 1 Thia is the information which comes to ns from a reliable source. We deem it onr duty to place it before the public, so that if any trouble shall arise from suoh a suggestion as that attributed to this Mr. Goffin, tho local leader of radi? calism in Abbeville, it will be understood where the responsibility rosts. We know tho people of Abbeville. They aro willing, aa good citizens, to abide by thc law. But they will protect themselves, and'teach aggressors a wholesome leeson. It is, indeed, a gross outrage that at this time, when all good citizens are disposed togo to work, and build up the State, and have an era of ponce and prosperity, that we should have in our midst a chins ! of mischief-makers and intermcddlcrs, who, to serve party ends, aro stirring up the waters of strife and bitterness, and prolonging the period of distrust und suspicion. Formerly it was suffrage that the colored mun must have. Now the pointis labor rs. capital, and thus we go on. Tho influences that retard our prosperity are evident. They spring from the porty in power. And in South Carolina we cun have nu uninterrupted prosperity until all good citizens organ? ize, unite and displace at the ballot-box a regime, ruinous alike to whites and blacks. In this connection wo may well refer to the spirit and utterances of tho Labor Convention, now holding its ses? sions in this city. This Convention, we may as well say, is a radical afi'uir from beginning to end-neither more nor less than a radical method to accomplish radical ends. The agricultural interests of this State huvo received u blow from this Convention, which wo fear will be felt another year. At n time when the colored labor of tho State was disposed to go to work, this Convention comes with its preposterous demands to affect the interests of tho South. It arrays the colored labor of tho South against the capital of the State, and it sows tho seeds of general mistrust. This is the way iu which the radical lenders advance tho interests of South Carolina! Their programmo is one of rule or ruiu, and I we hope that they may be met with the I firm, steady und unanimous opposition i of that class whom they seek to humili? ate and emburraos. -, ^ ? ?? > Busnataa CAUDS AND Cntcui-uts.-As t tho season is approaching for the aun uni W travel and distribution of business cards J and circulars, our merchante and others ^ will please givo nttention to the fact that our job office is supplied with tho best of boards, of all colors, lin? commercial note and other paper, and thc very new? est and most fashionable styles of type, thus enabling ns to supply all of such wonts.

VAI.L'A?I.I: MINERAL FARM.-Wo learn from the Walhalla Courier that on Tues? day, the 'Jib iustaut, the valuablo miue rul farm known us "Lorton's Gold Minc," situated in OOonee County, was purchas? ed by Mr. John lt. Cochran, of thia place, for $1,700. Tue tract contains 5G5 acres, and is said to bo of great value in mineral deposits. Specimens of gold found upon this place have been exhibit? ed to un, and although not a connoisseur, wo eau readily judge that they ore of superior quality, and indicate the richest developments. Tho present owner in? tends working this mine, wo understand, und with necessary capital, his rccog- j nized euergy nnd pers?v?rance will doubtless add much towards exemplify? ing the boundless resources and hidden treasures of this favored regiou. Not? withstanding differences of political opinion, we e ?ti heartily commend this enterprise of Mr. Cochran, and wish that it may provo successful, not only in a pecuniary souse to himself, but likewise iu attracting tho utteutiou ol' capitalists to tho fact that in this section of the State are to bo found the greatest abund? ance of minerals, and among tho most prominent, aro thu glittcriug beds of bright and shining gold. lu reference to this partum lar mine, wo copy the fol? lowing from tin- Courier: "Prior to the war this mine was worked profitably, blltas our people were then wrapped up in cotton timi slaves, it never rt?ceiveel the attention M ilich its true value as n mine merit d. Wo ure informed that nuggets o? several dollars in value were found upon it, and that it is the finest quality uf gold, having been rated at two cents per pennyweight above other gold. One of the great hindrances to its successful working waa tho lack of water power, which, we are informed, may be overcome by a little capital anti energy, and then this mine could bo mude a source of wealth tu the country and its owner. The time is coining when tho hidden wealth of this mountain County will crop out in fields of gold, silver and copper, and will make this section tho richest and tno-.t desirable of tho Coun? ties of the Stat?. Wo need and will soon possess tho railroad facilities re^quireel to bring prosperity. This will bring capital and labor, nuel then tho attention of our people will be directed to tho develop? ment of the wealth tinture bas scattered among us. This mine is situated near Perryville, II station on tho Bluo Ridge Railroad, unel possesses every conve? nience for successful?workiug, when tho difficulty of water is overcame, which eau he easily done.*' We nie informed by Mr. Cochran that nc has made satisfactory arrangements with capitalists, and will rapidly push ahead with thc work.

G UWINS AOAIN.-We extract th? ng from a letter received from an ed citizen of law ia ignored, ann vengeance I ed to bj those hlaimife to Se law?t for AbbevilM. On last Monday,, ie train arrived at Hodge?', from Je, Mr. Pcm Garfia, recently eleoted to the Legislature, got out of Che cara, accompanied by u company of armed negroes, and essayed a speech, somewhat to this effect: 'I stand upon the soil where the Hon. B. F. Randolph poured out his' life's blood, and We in? tend to have rovenge for it. Tho first Republican killed in this County, every leading Democrat shall be killed, and their houses burned down over them.' This was apparently addressed to some dozen white mon who wero standing near. Here, Mr. Editor, is an appeal to the passions of the igooraut colored peo? ple to set aside law, and take matters into their own hands. This is tho coun? sel of a so-called law-maker. Will he he sustained by those in authority? The colored people, as a class, are misrepre? sented by this fellow, for they are really better citizens than he, und he certainly does not pretend to represent the white people. lt seems to be a bid for the votes of the colored people at the next election, but, front ull I eau learn, he will fail to get nay respectable portion of that CIUSH to sustain him. Tho other Mr. Guffiu who claims tho seat of Senator, to which he was not elected, sealed his devotion tu the fair sex by kissing two of them nu the platform, just before the train left. This, however, is a matter of taste, and I am tumble to say which waa most degrade?t by it, or which was moat honored." Omi of the most reliable gentlemen bf Ninety-Six writes us that "Guffiu" (we suppose tho "tienutor elect'") "made sume heavy threats BS bo passed down the other day. Ho ?aid that 'for the noxt negro that was killed in tho neighbor? hood, ho would barn every giu-houso and dwelling for ten miles square, and hang eight of the most prominent Democrats.' Ho said it publicly, on the platform at this place. This is pretty heavy." So suv we. Yoi this mau claims to be Sena? tor, and aspires to a law-maker for the people of Abbeville.

A resolution Wnp adopted? to appoint a committee from euch County, to nomi? nate suitable persons to represent the State io the National Labor Convention, to be held in Washington City, in De? cember next. Tba oom rn it tee recom? mend od the following: Joseph H. Kinney, J. J. Wright, W. B. Nash, Lucilia Wim bush, colored; Simeon Corley, Thomas J. Muokey, white. A member from Orangebnrg offered a resolution-which was laid upon the table, after much discussion-that the following rutes of wages lie given ip la? borers for cultivating cotton and corn: First class, $15; second. $12; third, 6?; per month; aud the laborers shall rruoivo iu addition to the above: 3 lbs. bacon, per week, peck corn, quart molasses, pint salt, for his board; aud if working for ? share of the crop, they shall recei vo I one-half of all the provision crop, and one-third of tho cotton raised upon tho farm. The planters to furnish all the farming utensils and sufficient horse power to carry on the farm. Tho Committee appointed to memo? rialize tho General Assembly, through their Chairman, T. J. Muekey, submitted tho following: The laborera of tho State of Sonth Carolina, in Convention assembled, beg leave to memorialize your honorable body, to furnish au appropriate and ef? fectual remedy for some of tho griev? ances which the agricultural laborer now suffers at the hands of the largo majority of his employers. Wo believe that there is no natural antagonism between the interests of the plauter and those of tho laborer; but, on tho coutrary, that fair dealing and a rigid performance of duty on thc part of each, will .secure the pros? perity of both. We are aware that many of the wrongs to which laborers nra sub? jected aro beyond tho reach of legisla? tion, but must lind their redress iu tho orgauized efforts of tho laborers them? selves, acting uuitedly within the lines of tho law, with a wisc regard to the equita? ble claims of capital and the inalienable rights of labor. Yet your honorable body aro restricted by constitutional limita? tions from fixing the rule of wages, it ia within tho scope of your authority to i usuro more fully thun at present their speedy aud cert mu callee ion; and, also, by suitable laws, to confer upon the j laborer a greater power of self-protec tiou thun bo uo.v possesses, Ac. 1. That the claim of tho agricultural laborer, for wages due, shall operate as a preferred lieu upon the laud that he works, and that the planter or owner of .^aid laud that he works, shall not sell or , alienate thu same, until sue < claim is sa? tisfied. 2.
