COLUMBIA, S.' C. Taes lay Morning, August 11,1874. Cracked Tunes. The Orangeburg News, one of the orgaua lately added to Mr. D. H. Cham? berlain's musical collection, heads an artiolo taken from the ObarleBton Sun, in which objection ia made to Cham? berlain for Qovernor, that he is the "lawyer and representative oi the fraudulent indebtedness of the State," with the query: "Don't support him, beoause be will pay your debts?" The O. News evidently u?d joyfully thinks that Chamberlain, if successful, will go right at the people's money to give it to the bondholders. Tho same organ plays a little tune to the euiall farmers and small landholders. It threatens them with the terriblo tar gatherer, who, if be meets any diffi? culty in collecting the rascally taxes, will levy upon their personal property, nnd sell their horses and mules, cows, sheep, corn and bacon, aud, if all that is not enough, will go upon their land. The poor whito farmer need uot think, it says, that purchasers will not be found to btiy his land. Oar "beloved Stato" itsolf, with its carpet-bug bend, African body und scalawag tail, realis? ing the new uud difficult Situation, will repeat tho farce and cheat of tho Land Commission swindle, and, as a pur? chaser of tho poor white man's laud and home, "will provide laud and homes for the thousands of poor peo? ple in this State (meaning black peo? ple) who are now landless uud boino leBs." "If the parties," continues the ? O. News, "who have allowed their lands to be forfeited to tho State don't come forward and redeem the same, by paying tho tuxes, &c, assessed upou ?them, they will be sold, aud sold on -such terms that purchasers a-plenty ?will bo fonud to buy thorn. Wnat is to prevent the General Assembly from pntting these forfeited lands in the market, for tho taxes, costs, &o.t due on them, on terms of ten years' credit?" What do oar people thiuk of the programme? Is that the sort of Go? vernor and the sort of General Assem? bly they wonld like to see placed in power? Poor white man, how do you relish the prospeot? Poor black man, haven't, you heard enough of forty acres and a mule? Is your experience of the Land Commission swindle so sweet that you would have it ropeated by the same old parties? Can you dance to this crazy musio of one of the organs of D. H. Chamberlain? Damaging. The most remarkable thing in our newspaper political literature now going through the press is the arraign? ment of ex Attorney-General Cham? berlain, both for niisfesanco and m.tl foaaauc-j in the several official positions ho has held in this State, by the Charleston News and Courier. It is absolutely crushing and unanswerable. It was the fashion of the Union-Herald to reply to our strictures on Mr. Chamberlain, aud by way of sufliciont answer to our difficulties iu seeing his fitness to represent reform, to say briefly that we "hated him bitterly.'' That was puerile and weak enough, one would have thought. Dut iu its answer to tho terrible indictment of our Charleston contemporary, it scums to have reduced puniness to a science, and to bo fearfully demoralized withal. Take this, for example: "These arti? cles ought to be a benefit to Mr. Cham? berlain iu two ways?lirst, they thow whose nomination, of all men in tho State, tho Dcmocrucy most dread; se? condly, they show the material ol which the wholesale charges against him uro manufactured." Tho Demo? cracy, which, as horo used, may he t aken as a compendious term (or those who control and own the permanent and substantial interests of tho .Stale, do indeed dread Mr.. Chamberlain. And they have good reufou, und tho reasons are cogently presented in these articles. If it will benefit a man to show that property, intelligence und education distrust him, that tho belter classes dread him, it will demonstrate that ho is the enemy of the great inte? rests and a foo to tho peaoo aud pros? perity of society. The Union-Herald proves more than is good for its candi? date. Aft to tho material of the "charges,"' whether wholesale or rolail, wo think it extremely sound, and so must overy candid reader. It would be a good idea to bring this discussion out in pamphlet form, and scatter it broad-cast amongst the voters. No properly informed man, who has tho good of the Stato at heart, can sup? port a man with such a record as Mr. Chamberlain is here shown to be enti? tled to. Subscribe for the Phoenix. Itecjj Cool. The Aiken T)'ibune, which usually speaks in mild and conciliatory terms, has in the lust unmbor "A Word to tbe Opposition." It is meant for ad? vice to tbe Conservatives, to be euro to keep tbe peace. What grounds of op prebension it has that the public peace may be infringed, do not appear, fur tber than as may bo glouuod from its allusion to the ''spirit of tbo opposi? tion press," uud to ibo "associations wbicb aro daily spinning into being all over South Uuroliua." Cut we submit that tbe spirit of tbo opposition press is in no way threatening. It is, in faot, quite t-imo iu ir .ny quarters. The associations or Tux Unions, have perfectly legitimate uud poftusfol ob? jects, viz: The reduction of taxes and tbe honest disbursement of the public fands. The formation of a few ride associations nmoug tbo wiiitj people is hardly a thiug to ba regarded or no? ticed, where the military spirit has bad snch careful uursiug as iu tbo military laws, and such splendid results us in tbo graud organization of tbo National Guard. How could people with oven a ?-park of military ardor iu their souls fail lo catch tbo strong contagion from such a splendid array of gouerals, colo? nels, majors, itj., us wn have con stautly paraded iu gen oral orders? What tbo Tribun j .iu)h about "uuy or? ganization having for it:* object other than a htgitimate uoutrol of tbo popu? lar vote," it must have gathered from a study of tbo constitution of tbo defunct Union Langaus and the I. O U. D 's, and recollection of some of its party doiugs. Wo don't do .such naughty things. -*- ? We learn that Whittomorc is hard pressed iu Darlington, the opposition being of a determined and intelligent character. We presume that ho runs on the reform ticket, but the people, it is said, and it is certainly to bo hoped, will detect the thin disguise. The Union, of this place, comes to his rosone, aud sounds a warning against thu Democracy. But tlie negroes are rising in ooutempt of thu profligate men in whom they so long trusted, to their sorrow. They will not always heod the Union, und the limo is coming when all such idols us Whittomorc will bo broken to pieces and cist out of the black man's temple. A View Ahead ?Iu response tu u nomination for thu olhco of Governor, in u recent issue of tho Wmusboro News, Major T. W. Woodward writes a spirited und hopeful letter, iu which he says that the deliverance of the people cannot much longer be post? poned. He tersely states the qualifica? tions, positive aud negative, of tho coming candidate for Governor of the honest people of South Curoliuu. "H? should," 1111 .-ays, "be a man who has heretofore been exceedingly prndcut, not only iu his actions, but iu his utterances, so I hat neither word nor deed could bo distotted into(uii unfriendly interpretation to wurde I he riglits of the negro freemen, thereby uffordiug it protuxt for opposition at the polls. Ho should beau individual of enlarged, yet conservative, ideas of statesmanship, and ul national reputa? tion, so that the administration ut Washington would not bo htlstuiucd by Ihe Northern press in going buck upon its recent manifestations iu our behalf. Ue should, iu line, bo pos? sessed ot all thoso noble qualities ol head and heart which endear one to bis friends aud malte hitu an obj-'c.t of respectful atlmiratiou even to i ucinies. With a candidate possessing all those requisite:', which are ho happily blended in tho person of tho peerless Ksrshaw, \vu would havu a two-fold advantage. First, were he elected, wo oould safely claim immunity from tho villainies uud outrageous excesses of all kinds with which w.j havu been oillietud from Ibis quarter for some! years past, and would, ut least for the two years of his term, enjoy a eoudi- j tion of peaoo und general prosperity, so much needed for the minds and j pockets of this distracted and ruined i people. Then, upon tho other hand, j should we fail to clout him, it adds one ! moro example to the many alreaWy had iu illustration of a theory which is well understood ut tho South, and is now being rapidly realized ut thu North and throughout the world, viz: that with a law sanctioning universal suf? frage iu communities whore negro votes preponderate, houor aud intellect must forever go unrequited. Estab? lish thid, which, with us, judging tho future by tho past, is more than a theory, and there is but ono short step further, and we reach educational and property qualifications, which will forever aud alone abate tho nuisances of which we complain, and which, by raising the standard of ofOca-suekors, aud by in? fusing more of honesty into tho now Qlthy sewers of public opinion, will bo calculated to bring about that huppy condition of things wo onoo enjoyed, when honest, oomputeut mou held tbo | roins of government, and when thieves I uud harlots did not darn to assume I conspicuous placer. It is, thou, im? portant that wo do nothing which will ! cause u turn iu tho tide of public' opinion, which bus, unquestionably, I set in our favor recently." Correspondence of the Phoenix. Cheuokue SraiNas, Aug. G, 1874. My last letter tuny have conveyed tho impression that Cherokee Springs wero deficient in that attraotivenosB which allures tho mere, seeker of pica sum und recreation. If bo, nothing eould have been moro incorrect. There are now over sixty persons stopping at the hotel, two-thirds of whom uro bore only for rost uud pleasure.

Ii A NliW AND WONDEItFUXi lil .O OF Cotton.?Gustavo Adolph us, a corres? pondent of the Chronicle ttn'l Sentineli who has been ruminating down in Southern Georgia and a few miles be youd i he Florida line, tells a wonder? ful story about a new kind of cotton, which ho thinks is destined to put all others to flight and rcvolutioniz; the entire cotton onlture: I rode several miles over the Itue, to see ii new specimen of cotton, und I assure you of my UNlouishmeut when 1 predict an entire revolution in the pre? sent growth of that article, growing out of this Asiatic species, now being raised upon u small scale by Mr. Hyuck Uellymiugcr, at Soap Floating Springs, iu Florida, six miies from Ihn Gcorgi i line. Two years siuce, Air. Hyuck ie ceived, in a letter from his brother-in law, Mr. Michael Grigie, six seed. They were obtained in the far-fauied Cashmere Valley, iu Centred Asia, two years siuce?this bciug thu third year of cultivation, resulting in ten acres the present season. 1 at unco sug? gested a name, which wus prompted t?y its similarity to our orange tree, and thu owner, Mr. Hyuck liellyminger, being pleased with the same, ii will hereafter bo known us the Asiatic orange cotton. This cottou tree, hav? ing now ils full growth, is about eight feet high, aud will about match its size ut tho butt end with the leg of au old-fashioned split-bottom chair, ta? pering gradually to tho top, and is of very enormous strength and elasticity, aud which enables it to sustain thu heavy weight of fruitago to which it is subjected. It is planted in hills, fifteen feet cqui-distftut, to give room for its spreading brauche?, which run out on all sides six or seven feet. The leaf is the only feature closely resembling our common plant. I must reserve, how over, lor another letter, much that I desire to say, and speak only of the. grown bolls. They resemble very much iu size uud color a largo greeu orange, only much larger, und are attached to tho limbi by a strong stem, fmui one to two inches iu length. When open, it contain.-; at tho base of the boll, in small cells, four or five seed, which luiijln be mistaken for small buck shot. The lint, in picking, leaves tho seed iii the bur, which, of course, avuid the necessity of ginning, und is thrown, as picked, into packing machines, so that each day's gathering is e mi pres... d into bales tho same evening. When within 100 or 200 yards of thu held, i a; Li d Mr. M. for a shot gun to kill t.uu or I wo w hite . runes, us it seeuied t i nn- there was au uncommon number of thorn perched about on small tree.".. "You wilt not biivu any use for a tjmi," no replied. "What you sou is the few open bolls of cotton, and you uro not alone iu supposing them to he our bcuutilul const bird.-; ami, sure enough, ucaret observation proved him correct. The cotton hung] pendant, Irom tho boll, three to four inches in lulls, us large as a full-grown j iSologna sausage, five rolls to the boll, j I looked in iimnzsiucnt, and could! scarcely bc-lievd iu tho ruaiity o? wind | I raw. I Obked how much cotton will the o ten acres produce. 1 was uttsworeil . promptly, lUj bales, or n bale lu nach j row of fourteen stalks. This, he con? tinued, was the average production last year. 1 continued by desiring to know how much to tho hand could be picked in one day, and was informed for grown men 151) pounds of lint, (thero being no seed,) or ouu bale, was regarded mi easy daily task. Now, gentlemen, if what I have said is true, aro we not rapidly approaching a new epoch in cottou culture? Fivo years will nufiicu to .spread universally over tho cotton area of the South this won? derfully prodtictivo species, aud if it should prove lasting and not subject (as mauy new kinds have proven) to deterioration, it would not bo unrea? sonable to estimate the American crop of 1380 at 12,000,01)1) bales, which could bo moro easily raised and saved than a crop of 3,000,000 ut tho prosoiit time. What mighty changes will no cessarily follow, I leave for solution to moro fertile imaginations than my own. Cue thing is certuin?the poor will rejoice over nil tho earth, when a full suit of cotton clothes cuu be had at fifty cents.
