Friday Morning? September 12.1873. It was the bo?B? ol Ivrpuiouu luni Lo understood praothully the mauuftioture of every uriiole of military armament. If there were; nobody else to make pow? der, he could make it, and be eould per? sonally.direct the manufacture of can? nons, sjtm-o?i?r!Qg6aJ etc. So far as fc possible, this should be the relation of every man to his business, because ad? ministrative supervision* demands a knowledge of details, and because re? verse may some time reduce tbe obief to the position of a subaltern. It is true, that the highest form of civilization is based upon division of labor, and that superior skill' in one department is at the expense of ignorance in others. The watch has many pari?, and he who pre? pares the main-spriDg is probably in? competent to take the place of him who grinds the orystals. So tbe multiplied demands of modern life specialize and limit more and more eaoh man's* field of labor, and oostantly inorease pur mutual dependence But how sad in hi a case whose particular line of industry falls out of demand^and who understands no other form of bunin ess. There are cer? tain great underlying necessities from which human, nature can never free it? self, and every young person should bo taught something of the trades which sopply them. A great .deal has been said by more or lere eloquent people about , the nobility of labor. However wo may endorse the unaomium or pro? test against it, nobody oan deny tho utility, the absolute necessity, of actual manual labor. Somebody must work. The accumulations of wealth exempt a ? few, but the great law holds always good, and he who spurns it or renders ? himself unfit for it, rejects tho inexora? ble condition of existenco. There is such fluctuation in values, suoh rapid ' change of hands -in property, that no ? man, however high his Htatiou, should ? be unprovided for that battle which the i common millions are compelled to wage ' with the hardships of their lot. ( * "Fakii to Henx for j Less than the Taxes."?The above, gays tho Memphis , Register, is a startling announcement, and will, no doubt, cause those whose i eyes may bo attracted by it, to stop and j inquire where tho farm is, and perhaps , also to ask the cause which leads to so great a sacrifice. The farm lies* conve? nient to all the markets of a large city in the South, contains eight squares of ' ground under piokeb fenoo, has a large ? orchard of plam, orange and fig trees, i scuppernung grape vines, etc., of choice qualities. ThiB farm at a former day and time was the sonrco of profitable income to the owner, Now, it is an ex pence to him. The cause is the elfcct of Radical rule in Louisiana. Tbe adver? tisement appears in tbe New Orleans Republican, "the official journal of the State of Louisiana." It proves the la? mentable faot that the rule of Rudicul ism in t hut State has destroyed the value of real estate in aud around ono of tho most flourishing and prosperous cities in the South. It is the index fiugur of warning pointing the peoplo of Missis? sippi and othor States to tho dangers which are threatening them, aud which have enraed South Caroliuu for years, the people of that State having been robbed by the adventurers und thioves who stole into power by tho aid of tho Govern men t of the United States. <-???-> Deaths.?M. David Haunub died at his home, neur this place, at 1 o'cluck, Sunday evening, from congestion of the bowels; uged seventy-three. William Cbappoll (oolorod) died at Greenwood, last Friday. Several opi? nions are hekl as to the cause of his death. Some think bo was poisoned; most probably bo diod from congestion. About a week since, Usn. Mauce (oolored) fell from a wagou loaded with fodder, nud broke his neck. He died on last Saturday. Kittie Davis, a colored woman who lived on the Blue Hill, died from drop? sy lust Saturday.?Abbevills Medium. Mr. Thomas E. Wright departed this life on Thursday evening last, after a very brief illness, at his rcsideuoo, sovou miles West of Chester. Johu E. Carroll, aged twenty-one years, who resided about two miles Hast of Yorkville, died on Friday last, from a congestive chill. On the Mon? day previous to hia death, he was appa? rently in good houlth. Mrs. James Anderson, a highly esteemed lady of Groouwoort, died at tho residence of her son, Mr. W. P. Auderson, in that place, on Tuesday evening lust.

Edhojji It gives mo pleasure to notice that e^Veral papers of the State, including your own? the Phcpnix, 'is be? ginning to fftke SOQiO iavurabie notice of the importance of immigration. It is hoped that every paper in the State may engage in thiB work, and that the people may be made to know and see the importanoe of an increase in popu? lation in every Oonnty in tho State. It ia the newspapers that oan iostruqt the peoplo on this sabjeot, and prepare the public mind for deoisive operations. It is with pleasing anticipations that the business mon of Cojunibja and other places look for ward to the approaoh of fall and winter, when travel from the North and elsewhere will set iu aud bring thousands of persons, who, as they pass on from city to city, visiting our farms and stopping at our hotels, leave money with us. Would it Dot be much better for ub if we oould keep them hero aU the time, and have them making and spending their money with us the year round? Most assuredly it would. Why do we have euch dull times in almost every department of business? It ii for a want of more po? pulation. It is impossible to do busi? ness where there is nobody to do it. The merchant wants two oustomers ' ?> where he has one now; or he would not object to half a dozen more. Tho lawyer likes money and wants more clients. The doctor wants more money, and bus more praotice in a dense popu? lation than whore it is thin. Tho preacher wants more hearers, and would take a little more money, too; and even editors and proprietors of newspapers would be grently benefitod by having more subscribers, more advertising, &o. So wo could go on a day, aud perhaps u year, enumerating, tho advantages ac? cruing from nn increase of population. Then let us all seek to encourage and assist all who are seeking homes from a foreign laud or tho North, to.como and bettle up tho waste plaoes iu South Caro? lina. There is a great deal Haid ou the subject of manufacturing in South Caro? lina, which is all very good and right, if we could go into it us wo desire, uud bring un inoreuso of population that would result iu material benefit to us; but ullow me to suggest that I am de? cidedly of opiniou that our population is too sparse to manufacture much. The labor ia not hero. It is barely suflioiout to cultivate our farms, much less to go into manufacturing extensively. It ia only iu populous citios and countries Hint manufacturing is, can or will be sarried on to any cousidornble extant. Then lit us first seek the population, and manufacturing and prosperity will follow, as a natural consequence. Tho oditor and proprietor of every paper of tbo State should not lot an issue of their paper gu out without saying something on the subject of immigra? tion. AIBMULOC. Tue Si'BCiAii Session.?Thoso who profess to be informed ?ay that the special session of tho Logislatuae, whioh convenes ou the 21st of October, has been called to consider tho rccont do cisiou of the Supreme Court ia the Morton-Bliss bboud case. A bill is to bo presented, and it is expected that it will paBs, taking awny from the comp? troller the p^w-jr to lovy a tax to puy the interest on the bonds. Should tbo Govornor veto the bill, it is asserted that there iu no doubt but that it will ba passed over hi* bend. The bill will ba au exact copy of thu oua ratified last year, which was mysteriously lost ou its way from the enrolling committee to the Governor. ? Charleston News. The Cotton Onoi*.?Tho growiug crop of cotton has deteriorated largely in tho past teu days, according to thu best information wo can obtain, which is chiefly owing to the unfavorable wea? ther. Tho extremely hot days forced much of the cotton to opon premature? ly, und there is a total absence of blooms, euttiug short tho top crop.

Homicide.?A negro, named Nelson Wright, was murdered on last Friday night, about four miles West of Wil liaiustou, near Beuverdum Creek. Wright was stabbed iu tho back with a knife, which penetrated the regiou of tho heart, killing him almost instantly. A negro named ilobort llouiusou inflict od the wound, Bobiusou was arrested aud committed io jail. The Conservative Committee.?Tbo Executive Committo of tho Citizens' Conservative party has been organized by tho election of tho following uilicors: Capt. James M. Carson, Chairman; Mr. J. C. II. ClaUHsou, Treasurer; and Mr. Ellison A. Smyth, Secretary. This means busiuess, aud a well-pluuucd and vigorous campaign. ? Charleston News* A woman in East JafiYoy, N.

At a meeting of the citizens of Oo lumbin, held Aogaet 27, 1873, the Messrs. Bpragua proposed to the oiti zens of Colombia to form a joint stools company, with a capital stock of 866?, 000?the Columbia Water Power Com? pany to oontribute all its real aud por? no nal property, its rights, franchises, &o., at the Bs.,eBsed sum of 9826,000; tho citizens of the State to contribute in caali the same amount in shares of $100 onoh. As soon as ri reaBonnhle sum is raised, the company to bo organized,' with Mr. Wm. Sprnguo as its President; fifteen per cent, of tho subscribed stock to bo paid at the organization of; the company, aud the balaucu in mobthly installments of ton per cent. Tbe mm thus raised to be expended in building tho dam across the Oongaree, iu erect? ing a mill for 15,000 spindles, and in other improvements. Resolutions of approval were passed by the meeting, aud Dr. J, W. Parker, the Chairman, appointed a oommittee to canvass the city and solicit subscriptions. The coin mittt*u is as follows, viz: F. W. MoMas tew, J. M. Crawford, W. B. Nash, J. T. Sloan, Sr., J. Quitmun Marshall, G. A. Darling, Josep? Taylor, R. D. Senn, Wm. Lowrance, S. B. Thompson, W. n. LyBrand. ' The sum thus far subscribed amouuts to about $70,000, which tbe committee hopb speedily to iuerease ithin the limits of the city. Being impressed by the immense importance of the enter? prise, not ouly to Columbia, but to tbe whole State, they respectfully Bolicit subscriptions to this great work from all portions of the State. Tbe committee believe the proposition of the Messrs. Spruguo oilers an advautagu to Colum? bia not oujoyed by auy city at the South. The superior facilities of facto? ries for cotton yurus at the South have boon frequently aommeuted ou by the press, aud illustrated by the success of those who have euguged iu them. The special advantages of the present pro? ject are as follows: 1. The water power at Columbia is greater than in utiy city in the Atlantic ?States, uud this power eau be utilized ut comparatively huiuII expense. 2. All the mill site? ou the Congaree in proximity of tbe canal belong to the Columbia Water Power Company, which, with other lauds, amouut to about 170 acres, in the corporate limits of the city; uil of which will greatly ud vauce iu value as coon us a factory is erected. 3. The people of the Stute, iu this en? terprise, will ,guiu tbe co-operation of tbe Messrs. Spruguo, who are umougst the largest manufacturers in the world, which of itself will insure its success. ?1. The great want of cupital ut tho South is tbe prime cause of the failure of many joint stock companies which have been started eiuce tbe war. In this enterprise, wu have, as a basis, the property of tho Columbiu Water Power Company, on which $200,000 has beeu expended?a greater sum of mouey than has been invested iu auy Southern Statu by auy Northern firm siuuo the war. 5. The greut experience of the Messrs. Spruguo iu cotton faotories augurs a success for this project equal to any fac? tory in tbe South. The mere fact of Gov. Surugno uctmg as President of the Company will add to its credit. Tho city of Augusta, which is simi? larly situated with Columbia, aroused to tbe necessity of enlarging her iudustrial resources, has contributed ?500,000 to build ber cuual over a space of seven miles; aud at this very time, there is an ugetic iu Euglaud, endeavoring to in? duce capitalists to iuvest there. At Co? lumbia, we have the water power at hand, and oao use it without au ex? tended canal; aud tbe capital equal to the amouut raised here is offered with? out oar solicitation. Tho oommittee oordially appreciate the proffer of tbe Messrs. Sprugue, und if it is heartily endorsed by tbe citizens of the State, they feel assured that in a few years tbe city of Columbia will spring forward in the race of prosperity with other cities of the South. She is now so circumvented by railroads that unless au effort is made to enlarge her j resources by factories, her future proa j purity cannot be rapid. The rise of I Inctories in her midst will be the iu? erease of her population and wealth. To all who feel a deep interest iu the Welfare of our beautiful city and tho prosperity of our impoverished State, we earnestly appeal. We invite all who cm subscribe even a single share of Si00 iu the company, Jo lend us :t help iug hand. Let us meet in fraternal Itiuducss the proposition made by these Northern gentlemen, aud it will do more to create peace, to produce harmony, comfort mid plenty in our land, than anyIhing that has been presented sinco 11he war. If wu fail in this project, tbe I chances of starling factories here will I probably bo postponed for ten years. Editors of papers throughout the I State, favorable to this enterprise, uro requested to extend this iuvitation. And those who wish to obtain further information, may address auy member of the committee ut Columbia. P. W, MoMASTEtt, Chairmau of Committee. -*-? - The brigands havo disappeared fr<>?n Greece.

Mob Law is Charleston. ?,?ooordiu g to tho News, the strikers have things their own way in tb^*oi?br*toe eea.y and work in many of the Kills tits been Suspended. Tber^ were deeds^of vio. lence committed^y th?\ stri|ers, ?r rioters, on Tuesday night, which will stand for a long time as a blot upon the falf. fame of Charleston. The mob seemed tq have a thorough contempt for the law and its officers, aud io certain neighborhoods behaved with high? handed violence. The rioters attacked and severely beat a colored man. who was making purchases iu Mr. F...W. Becker's store, near Hudgina' mill, aud when Becker interfered to save .'the negro's lifo, he was set upon and beateu. His store waa afterwurds brick-batted, atock injured, glasses broken, ele. Becker was afterwards forced to conceal himself. The policemen who had been seut for arrived shortly afterwurds, but the mob had disappeared. No arrests were made. Becker gives the mimes of the ring-leaders of the mob as Isaao Gouldiu, Jim Davis und Baby Holmes. Yesterday morning be kept bis .store cloned, and went to Trial Justice Levy and obtained warrants for the arrest of the arimiuals. A coustable uud a de? tective officer were sent after the three ring-leaders. Becker's littlu son was badly out with u razor. The same mob of rioters mado night hideous with their yells iu thu neighborhood, and were so out spoken in their threats of violence that Mr. Hudgius, ouu of the proprie? tors of tho mill, was forced to remove his family from the house to another portion of the city, and apply to the guard bouse for a guard for the mill. Policemen were sent up and remained at the mill all night. No arrests were made. About 10 o'clock, on Tuesday night, two white men, one named Bryce, were walking quietly dowu Calhotiu street. When they approached King street, they met a crowd of the strikers, who jostled them off the pavemeut. One of them attempted to runioustrnto, where? upon I he crowd set upou the two men uud nearly murdered them. The police? man ou the beat, attracted by the uoise, arrived on the scene. He found Bryce bleeding from a severe wound from a ! huge dirk, which had been left ou the spot by tho murderous villain; aud the other beateu almost to death with clubs. On the same evening, a crowd of twelve or thirteen strikers went into the grocery store of Wm. P. Sieliug, at the corner of Lynch and Went worth streets. They called for drinks aud got them, j They then asked for cignrs, aud upon ! thu box being handed out, each striker helpud himself to a half 'dozen cigars, I and thu crowd thereupon walked out. The proprietor very timidly Suggested that be had not been paid, and was po? litely told to go to h?. On Wednesday, tho streets were I crowded with idlers all day. There is considerable dissatisfaction among the laborers us to the strike, and most of them express the wish to return to work, j but are deterred from this by the threats j of the handful of rioters who are en? gineering tho movement. It seems that the strika is directed by no organized society at all, but simply by about fifty uogroes, who have armed themselves ami forced the other laborers into a strike. --? ? ?* The society for the protect ion of iu faut hfe in Paris is meeting with com? mendable success. Out of tho 1.13S2 iu fauts committed to its care during tho past year, the society has only lost sixty, or less than four per cent., while the .mortality among infants put out to uurse in the provinces is ubout sixty per cent. The brig lt. II. Kennedy, from North Wey mouth, Mass., for Charleston, col? lided with an unknown brig oil Capo Hatteras, and was considerably injured. Upou reaching Charleston bar, n was found that bhe could not get in; she afterwards struck aud keeled. Sim will doubtless prove a total lost". Her cargo cousisted of guano. Two important declarations have been recently signed between Qermauy and Italy. Ono provides for the treatment of each other's indigent subjects und the abolition of passports between the two countries, uud the other admits commercial, financial aud industrial companies to the enjoyment of equal privileges. A railroad, connecting Greensboro with Cheraw, S. C, is projected. The proposed road would prove an impor? tant connection, uud it is understood that it can be built with private capital, if tbo people of the various counties it is to traverse will lender thu desired aid 1 to tho company proposing to embark iu the enterprise. A drunken rough, named J. F. Davis, took possession of S*he burn, lud., the other day, and, drawing a lino across the street, threatened to shoot any por? tion who crossed it. Mrs. Lloyd did so iu .searching for her husband, who bad been drinking with Davis, and ho shot her three tinms, dangerously wouuding her. Thoro was great excitement iu Ox? ford, Mississippi, thj other day, over a j nice to get the first bale of new eottou iuto towu. It was between Jack Ander? son, colored, and Col. Bun. Nabors. Tho farmer having better control of mules, got iu first, but only u few feet ahead of his competitor. The revolution movement in Panama waa caused by thu murder by the polico of Col.

A sharp effort has ruceutly been made, and is being conti? nued, to "bull" the market on the strength of the decision of the Supreme Court of Siiuth Carolina, ordering ? tax to be levied for the bouetit of certain alleged fraudulent bend*, to the end that certain holders of some of the new issuer of South Carolina may escape from los?. A. vast number of people have becu swindled in New York by these securities, not a few oi whom are persons who held funds in trust for widows and orphans, to say nothing of institutions which repoBod .faith in the ancient honor of the Pulmetto State. Unfortunately, however, this honor is now in the keeping of people who do not kuow the meaning of the word, or, knowing it, have played the role of thieves. It is at lust discovered that the sum total of publio debt owned by the actual citizens of South Carolina does not exceed $250,000, and it is inti? mated that the party iu power are now anxious that an effort shall be made through an extra session of the Legisla? ture to scale the debt and evade the col? lection of the tax that has been judi? cially imposed. The reason given is that these carpet-baggers und would-be legislators have usuertaiued?and the fact ia undoubtedly true?that the col? lection of suoh a tax would prove fatal to the dominant political purty in South Carolina, inasmuch as it would bring borne to the negro voters (many of whom now possess lauds) thoir inte? rest in the economical and honest ma uagemeut of the .State Government.
