COLUMBIA, S. C. o-i-.-A_a..?inn T?innorir *7. 1871. Thc Proposed Meeting-Sontb. Carolina. Agricultural ?nd Mechanical Society, and tlie Joint Stock. Company. Froid the notice in another column, it will be seen that the stockholders of the Joint Stock Company and tho members of tho South Carolina Agricultural aud Mechanical Sooioty aro requested to meet in Columbia, on Wednesday, the 8th February next, at 7 o'clock P. M. Wo have beon requested to ask all the papera of the State disposed to encou? rage this State enterprise to exteud this notice. Wo have already commented upon the advantages to accrue to the indus? trial interests of the State from an aotivo and strong Agricultural and Mechanical Society. The objects of the Joint Stock Company is to place tho annual State Fair upon a secure busts. A compara? tively sm all amount of '-stock taken iu ouch County would secure tho success of the enterprise. ALL COTIO?.- We, commend to I lie careful perusal of our plauting friends the following article from Thc Paper, a Democratic sheet published in Pitts? burg, Fa., now that tho season [or "pitching" at tho new crop ia approach? ing: "A sufficient number of years havo elapsed since tho conclusion nf hostili? ties between the States of the North and South to permit of a calm survey of the causes which contributed to the result. Tho conquerors were not made so by reason of their superior bravery, nor, as would first appear, from their numerical superiority, although the latter aided them very materially,' but because tho North was a section of mechanics and its adversary merely au agricultural re? gion. "It was nota coutcst of muscle against mnscle, but of bruins and inventive ge? nius in opposition to personal courage. Tho South found a few staples so pro? ductive of wealth that it confined itself to the cultivai ion of these, und allowed every othor interest to languish. Its cities became only great warehouses for the storage of cotton, sugar and tobacco, and the pride of thc peoplo swelled iuto undue proportions as they beheld the shipping of tho world at their crowded wharves, eager to carry off, even to the uttermost ends of tho earth, the fruits of their fertile fields. From this was begotten the fallacious idea tl?at cotton was king, and that his sceptre not only swayed tho destinies of America, but that it was not without forco on the other side of the Atlantic. This was very flat? tering to the vanity of a growing peoplo. still young iu the family of States, and was sufficient to dazzle their eyes with a splendor altogether meretricious. The domination of cotton should have been n source of pride to every American. That prido, however, should never have oven remotely approached idolatry. The fact that it did become so, no person will deny, and to this we assign the sub? sequent overthrow o? its worshippers. "When tho'war broke out it found the States of tho South rich in cotton, in sugar, iu mon and iu money, with au en? thusiasm amounting almost to insanity, and a determination to achieve victory by the prowess of their urrns. The North went into the conflict irith un earnestness as terrible, but. with every? thing the South lacked. Wo had a di? versified industry to back us; we lind iron and coal and* steel for the manufac? ture of arms aud munitions; we hail corn and oats for the cavalry, wheat and rye for the soldiers, and milla for thc manufacture of colton and woolen fab? rics with which to furnish raiment to om men in tho field. The South hud uouc of these. 'Tis true, there were iron works in Virginia and in Mississippi, bul the?o were crippled early in the war by reason of tho blockado and mechanical poverty of tho South. History furnishes no iustanco whero 8,000,000 of people, equally united and determined, have been subjugated. Had thc South pur? sued a wiser policy in the past; had il encouraged a healthy immigration aud fostered manufactures, it would huvt been a more formidable antagonist, anti doubtless would have protracted thc strugglo indefinitely, even if wo admit that under circumstances victory was it its reach. The lesson wo deduce fron tho failure of tho South, then, is that, without a blending of industries, nc State or country can ever nttaiu trill greatness. When a couutry can live within itself it is independent, und nul until then. The peoplo of the South ur? rapidly realizing this, and from ?di pnrd wo hear of new manufacturing enter prises. Georgia seems to have tho lea? as yet, but Tennessee, with her rich uti nerol deposits, is putting on tho tirmoi of Vulcan and striding rapidly to tin front; while Louisiana seems to havi made up its mind to send us its cotton in webs, instead of bales, ai formerly Tho inechaoio is invited to go South ant co-operate with tho planter. This in vi tation is being hooded, too, and a ubini of interests is beiug formed that wil eventually give birth to great socio changes thero, and which cannot fail tc bo productivo of much good to tin who lo country." GIN HOCSE UUIINT.-Tho gin house c. Dr. John A. Bni'ksdnlo, with about sevei bales of cotton, and a large amount o cotton Beed, was burnt on the afternooi of Wednesday last. The lire ocourrei while tho gin was running, and ?3 sup posed to havo heen caused by a tnntcl accidentally dropped in the* cotton, o placed there by an iucoudinry. I [ Laurens v Hie Herald.

MURDERS.-We aro informed that Anthony Johnstou, tho colored Trini Justice of this County, and candidate for tho Legislature ut tue luto election, wits shot and killed by parties unkuown, at or near his house in thu neighborhood of Pacolett Depot, on tho night of the 29th ult. We have learned nothiug of tho particulars of this outrageous act that excites even a suspicion us to who were its perpetrators. But accounts wo have heard, satisfy us that it wits u brutal and outrageous murder, and nu doubt the good citizens in that section will ex? ert themselves in attempting to briug to justice the guilty parties. We will give the . report wo have had of tho afluir, which .is briefly this: That three persons went to tho bouse of Johnston and made demonstrations of .a kind that caused him to quit his house to lind pro? tection in the woods, und when ho had reached tho distance of a fow hundred yards, he was shot by parties unkuown, and his body foll in it branch, whnro it was.found. Johnston's mother was in thu house, and saw the party who is sup? posed to have committed the murder, but did not, recognize any one of them. We have not learned that they were in disguise, and wo have not heard Kn Klux mentioned in cou unction with thu affair. Wo learned from our informant that Johnston had rendered himself very impopular with several colored persous in his neighborhood, hy octa of tyranny and fraud towards them, while acting nfl Trial Justice, by taking tho little pro? i porty which they hud exempt by law, in payment of his costs in uasos which he had induced them to institute without cause, and in various ways deceiving um! defrauding the moro ignorant of hi* color. We only mention those furls which wc have learned to indicate the course ol probabilities. At. this time wo have learned nothiug that attaches this iou deed to any ono. Efforts will he nindi to detect the guilty parties, because out law-abiding und peaceful citizens ?ire de I ermined to put u stop to such occur rencos m this Cou ii ty. Iii this iuslancc we think it proper to shite, the imprc. ?iou exists that this net was committee for tho gratification of some personal malicious feeling, disconnected with po litios, as tho facts above Muted migh suggest.

Attempt ' were made lo extricate it, but had til' effect of forcing it down his throat nm causing him to swallow the instrument Tho health of the child seems unim paired, and, asido from tho nuxietj' o thu parents, tho hugo pill does not sect) to incommode him in the least.

The community, on yesterday, wen shocked to hear that this estimable citizen had bcou shot and killed, on tin public highway. It appears that Mr Dubard left this city Thursday niter noon, for his home-about fifteen mile above Columbia. About six miles frou thc city, his body was found-picrcct through with several sings. The de? ceased was robbed of his watch uni! money, but tho bundles in his buggy were left untouched. It is supposed that be was instantly killed; his coat was burnt with powder, proving that the murderer stood very close when the fatal shot was fired. Tho incentivo o? tho nssussiu was, doubtless, money. Mr. Dubard wus OH old and respected citizeuof Richland, and highly esteemed for his strong and reliable trails. Ho was a leading member of tho Methodist Dhurch, and in his neighborhood was its main stay. A cruel deed deprived [lim of bis life. But os a pious, God baring old mau, it is to be presumed that be waa riot unprepared for the quick summons that caine to him. H?8 violent and ?ridden death will exoite general and genuine sympathy.
