-9 S. tg, July 31, 1875. WTx? Southern Crops.? One of "encouraging circumstances in ultnral condition und prospects Sontb. is the experiment which it low successfully made in the way of iversity of products. Hitherto king lieu lias allowed no rival, nor even ac? cessory, near his throne. A prediction, 'ten years ago, that any of the cotton-rais? ing States would in 1875 have a surplus of cereals would have excited an incre? dulous smile. Yet the States of Tennes? see, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama will this years have enough and to spare. In addition to this unprecedented grain yield, the old staple, though reduced in acreage, has, by a more thorough system ?<&{ cultivation, rewarded the planter us never before, and they boast of an inde? pendence that has heretofore buen un? known to that portion oi the country. They claim that With their surplus of oread-stuff they can obtain the means by which they will be enabled to hold their -cotton, take advantage of the market, And sell for cash, instead of following the ?practice that has almost universally ob? tained of mortgaging their crops early in the season at ruinous figures. The agri? cultural resources and capabilities of the South have never yet been fully develop? ed. It is able to feed itself as well as to clothe, in certain essential respects, both .itself and the world. The sovereignty oi cotton would never have been disputed if it had enjoyed the aid of such auxil? iaries as tho cultivation of the cereals and manufacturing industry. . A Word About Firo Insurance. Ma. Editor: Please give inc space in '? our columns to say a word about fire '?risurauco. Many experienced business men urge that it is not only '?amazing" -tuitunvise for citizens to insure their property in any but home companies. L think ! can show that there is a great rrror in their view of the subject. The history of all great conflagrations demon? strates the unwisdom of depending en? tirely upon home companies for insur? ance, without regard to strength or solvency. Many great fires have occurred in tho United States during the last forty i ears, among which I would enumerate The following: In New York, in the year 183S, 825,000,000 of property was dc ? f. troy od; in Newark, N. J., 1835, $2,000, lOOOrin Charleston, S. C, 1838, $4,000. 000; in Pirtsbnrg, Pa., 1845, $6,000,000; Albany, N. 1840, 33,000,000; Atlanta, >hi., !?*68niul 1850, SI,000,000; Charlcs ? an, S>. C 1802, $2,UOO,000; Trov, N. Y., 3*02, $3,000,000; Vicksburg, Miss., I860 and 1807, $1,000,000; Mobile, Ala., 1807, ?1,000,000; Portland, Maine, 18G5, $10, ?GCLOOfl; Chicago, 1B71, $60,000,000; Boston, 1872, $20,000,000; Chicago, 1874, ?8,000,000, with numerous others in ' ther cities, amounting to lrom $100,000 to $1,000,000. The event of the Chicago tire bankrupted sixty insurance compa? nies, with capitals varying from $100,000 to $500,000; that in Boston ruined about .-sweaty-live companies. In either ofthc sbove cities named, nearly all the local 'omptmies wore rendered insolvent. Xuexi is a ten.lencj' nmong b:>t!i onderwriters und property owners to cegard innuranee a* a provision against by wllti'irif ii "OS intlif, and forgel tho probability <>?.' great conflagrations, which must bankrupt companies with small n.?[ managed with prudent skill. It hash'.! ii suggested, ana not without reason, thai companies should regard <ach city : n single risk, and writu no more in any one city than thoy could lose in a single day withouj imperiling &h*>ir st/ti~rtusy. S ?nie companies with a small capital wri en >ugh i u one block, ?i two P?r three contiguous bio-Iis, lo ab? sorb all their capital, in the advent of a ItsastroiiH conflagration, 'i'liis pructici "????ii! 1 )? gen >ral in any city -.\ '.< re the people sought insurance in only home ?: .p.i.. :i' tiiej obtain only full in . .ii ,lu. ? on tin ir property. Several \.v! managed companies, with large capitals id their lots ; in full, occasioned l.y, the great tire i:i Chicago among which i ?. in mention IhosT?iia Insurance Com? pany, of 1!Art ford, Conn., which i:-. ma luigod with prudence, und skill, always ?tci&orviug ii very large surjdus over its capital. Iii I enabled them to pay claims r losses amounting to $1,500,000 within Ettrty days after the tiro occurred, with tut affecting its s dv< i?.ey. When a com? pany, into which you have paid a pre? mium, becomes bankrupted, you lone ?.lie unearned pr mium which you have paid. A very low, inadequate rate oi premium indicates doubtful solvency of a company, with n prospect of not being ojiid ij? case of loss. Only adequate iiiti s 'if j remium should bo asked, which ?hould, be as low us the solvency of a ito m pax:y requires. When a proptrty >wuej- pays a premium for insuring pro? perty, liu wants to leid assured that in ?as<: a loss occurs, his claim will be promptly paid. GEO. Hl'tiGINS. Colvmuu, S. C, July 20, 1875. "Y'ou are all going to hell!" shouted .tu Arkansas camp-meeting preacher. ?"That's a d??d lie; I am going to New Orleans," said a buttcrnot on a rear seat; but he took it all back when the proaeher in nrched down towards him, pulling an . td-inch Bowie knife from his boot-leg. 1 lie Are in Charleston, on the 24th, de - -ctreyed about $225,000 worth of property. .The burnt district extended from Wash i sagten street to the river front, and from ?j Vern.on to Calhoun street. -s- ??. V Address of Gen. Hampton. The proceedings of :'i3r i-uri ion of th Hampton Logion woro opened by Gen. Hampton, oh follows: Fkllow-Soldleiih or toe Leo ion: In assuming the position to which you hnve called me, it wonld be ungracious to you, nnd unjust to myself, were I not to tell you how deeply tbis notion, on your part, and this warm greeting,. have touched mywheart. To liis this scene possosses a peculinr and tender signifi? cance, for it brings back vividly the memories and associations of the past. At the first call to nrms in the lato war a gallant baud of patriots, who were destined to win'Tor themselves an undy? ing fame, did me the honor to choose me as their leader. On this day, fourteen years ago, these ties, which bind true men and brave soldiers togelher in bonds that can never be broken on earth, were cemented by the best blood of our comrades on the glorious Held of Manassas. It is not for mo to tell you, on this occasion, of that heroic and desperate light; our gallant and dis? tinguished comrade, who is to speak for 'the Legion to-night, will doubtless do so fully ond well. But this JL will say, that a long-and large exporionce, gained on many of the great historic fields of the war, has convinced me, beyond all doubt, that tho Legion had the good fortune to do more on that memorable day to turn what threatened at one time to be a defeat into a glorious victory, than any other command engaged. Far bo it from me to detract the fame of any of the brave troops who shared with us tho perihi and glories of that bloody day, and still more unbecoming would it be in me to olnini any merit for xuyscly. It Was only our good fortune to come on the field at the proper place at a critical moment of, the battle, and your high and stubborn courage it was, then, men of the Logion, that stemmed the tide of retreat, and my only merit it was, that in response to what I feii was the instinc? tive cull of every heart in the command, I led you where the lire was the heaviest. Hut I do not propose to touch on themes which belong to our orator to-night. In his hands your fame will be safe, and history will perpetuate it. Mine is the less high but not less grateful task of thanking you for the renewed evidence you give me of your confidence and aflection, by calling me, on this auspi? cious occasion of our first re-union, to direct j'our deliberations, now in peace, as you then called on me to direct your conduct in war. Believe uic, my dear old friends, that I appreciate this honor from the bottom of my heart. Nor is this tho only debt of gratitude due by me te you. I have to thank you for your constant exhibition during tl^e whole warof the very highest soldierly qualities; for having sustained me with an un? faltering trust; for having entitled your? selves by your conduct to all the love and pride a commander could ever lavish upon his troops, and for having placed on your historic and unblemished banner my name, thus transmitting to our children, for all generations to come, the fact of which I am so justly proud, that you deemed mo worthy to lead "The* Hampton Legion." Although the exigencies of tho servico demanded, in tho course of the war a separation of tho constituent parts of the Legion, thus taking a portion, for a time, from my immediate command, I watched with the deepest interest the conduct of all, and I i'clt always tho highest pride in the noblo achievements of overy branch of the command. To mo you were always my Legion, an\1 wherever yon bayonets gleamed, or your sabres flashed, or your* artillery thundered, my heart was with yon, for there my men woro lighting, nnd I felt a prido like that a father feels at tho noble deeds of his sons. Knowing this, you ean readily understand, ti ied and trusted friends of the Legion, :!..tt I us'.- no idle words when I hi I you heart? ily and cordially welcome! welcome to one and all, to each n:td every arm of the command! Cuch of these arms e,.i> tribulcd full share to I'm common glury of the whole, and you have won fame sufficient !'"?? nil. Lei there bo no j nng< Herons rivalry i > lw< < n the different j brauch? i of tho command, but only a generous emulation.

Von n Jol loct how many of our brave comrades were strick* n down as they wen- bearing it to victory, and how many men, alas! fell beneath its folds as its pathway through the battle was marked by death. I know, 1 feel, that you remember all these things, and thank God, that with them, you can remember too with pride and exultation thnt in all the varied scenes through which that banner has passed, not ono breath of dishonor or of disloyalty, not one stain of cowardice or of cruolty has tarnished its unblemished folds. Torn by cannon shot And shell, riddled by rifle bulls, blackened by tho smoke of battle, it is nt?l, to tho cyo of faith, as lustrous ?8 when it was first un? furled in all its prido of beauty, and rich in aj glory thnt deVcat can never sully. (Hero Gun.-Hampton unfurled tl o Le? gion flag, which was mot by a deafening II I Ii I I ???I I I yell.) Comrades of the Legion! I bring back to you, uh the fittest offering to grace our first re-union in peace, that anner which yon so nobly illustrated in war. Though it will nover again "bmvu the battle and the breeze," yet as long as one shred of its battlo-scarred folds clings to another, it will tell you, in language moro eloquent than words, of the impe? rishable renown you won for it and lor yourselves. It will speak constantly to your hearts of our dead comrades, and it serves to remind you always that, when yon furled it forever, yon pledged your sotdh rig honor to observe inviolule the tenns on which yon surrendered. It will thus stand, as a perpetual symbol of your plighted faith, not alone in the past but lor the future. It will be the strongest guarunlee to those who so often viel in. the deadly fight, th<t( the men irho proved themselues su true to it while it rluimrd their allryhtnce, cannot prove false to the new oldigatious (hey have Incurred. All brave men who met yon in battle will.honor you for honoring the llag you once upheld so bravely, dung to so devotedly, and which you now che? rish asa memorial of your fallen brethren. And while you cannot expect them to sympathize with the cause in which it was borne, they will not fail to respect the men who bore it in so loyal and knightly a fashion. The people of Carolina can point with pride to one historic banner which ex? acts to-day lhe homage of the winde country. When your forefathers and mine followed the heroic. Washing-, ton, as his meteor llag swept to victory at Cowpcnsand Eutaw, they could scarce? ly have hoped that their descendants should see that llag, honored by 40,000, 000 Americans, ere the young republic, for which they gave their blood, had at? tained the lirst century of its existence. The brave people who were our enemies Kit) years ago, forgetting the, animosities and strife which then arrayed England and America inarms, forgetting that they once call?, d "Washington, and Itutledge, and Lanrens, and Sunder, Pickcus and Marion, "rebels," this day pay willing honor to the devotion, the patriotism and the coumgc of our revolutionary sires. If justice, truth, moderation, concilia? tion and statesmanship direct the coun scle of those who were the victors in the recent war: if free citizens of free and equal States can maintain and perpetuate in this confederacy, under the constitu? tion our fathers-established, the liberties for which they fought, then it may be that when another century bos rolled by, this banner of yours will be deemed by others than ourselves worthy as repre? senting truth, faith, honor and courage, to be placed by the side of the honored flagofEutaw! It may be given to our children to see this auspicious day. To us, who are standing on this great divid? ing lino which separates the first century of our country's life from that unknown future which lies before us, will remain only the aspirations and the prayers of the patriot. Cheered by these, we can a; least rc-cchO the words of Carolina's gifted and lamented patriot and poet: ' Did liberty rejoice! Aye, though its day Bo fur or near, these clouds shall yet be red With the large promise of the coming day." In the meantime, solemnly appealing to the great tribunal on high to vindicate the purity of our motives in peace and in war. we tenderly and reverently place among our most precious relics onr loved t!iou^!i conquered banner. "Furl that banner softly, slowly; Treat it gently, it is holy, For it droops above the dea l. Touch it hot; unfold it never, Let it droop there furled forever! [?'or the people's hopes are dead!" It only remains for me to introduci to I yon Gen. T. M. Logan, who has been in vitod to address you on this occasion. Couucctcd with the Legion from its <?:?
