how implicitly they rely upon everything

The developments of ths last two days
show very plainly that we have lttt'a to
;hope for from negro conservatism. The ^
wire pullers are shrewd, they preaah day
and night to the negroes that "we freed
fwi," n?d they have sown the s??d of diecord
and mistrust among ths colored people,
making them believe that we are their enemies.
And if this state of things continues
mueh longer we may expect the very
worst results imaginable.
I have up to the present time been very
sanguine, but my faith inWthe future is
shaken, and I confess the times are ominous
of trouble. The idea of a Government
being in the hands of a class of people,
who can neither read nor write, and who
re willing to do the bidding of every miserable
demagogue or would be politician
from the Northern States, Is simply an absurd
faroe. The thing can't go on ! It
would require the patience of Job to think
about it, and not a el', its no use talk
incr. I cannot do iuatico to Llia aul t.wt and
before I ?<ty something very bad, I tbink I

the is far behind the spirit of the age unless

of acquiring a knowledge of what is

manners of ignorance mo*t strongly in con

such a rational indulgence. Young mon
especially, should read newspapers. It I

The Amtriotn Pomolosical Society.
A has placed In our hand* the No
*?nd?,r eunber of tho American Journal ?l
Horticulture. Amongst many interesting
artio'es in tliia number, Is an aeoonnt of the
biennial mwtlng of the Society above
named, at St. L"nle, Missouri. The next
biennial meeting is to take place in Phils
delphia in 18 ?. Tho Society ftnu to bo
one of great value and Importance; and so
cording to the address of the President,
lion. Marshal P. Wild\h? is odd of the first
of Its kind in the world, lie elated that
the Society had brought together at the |
meeting, from more than thirty States end
Territories the most intelligent, expert
enced, sagacious and skilful cultivators who
have taught each other, and made the
knowledge of one. the property of alt. It
eeus, also, according to the same authority,
that the example of the American Poniologieal
Sooiety, has led to the formation of
similar *isooia'ions in England, Prance and
Belgian). America has thus fair'y taken
the lead of the world In attention to fruit
culture.
We see am mg*t the list of Vice-Presidents
of this Society, the name of a distinguished
and worthy citia-n of tllie State, William i
Summer, of Pomaria. As one of the Vice i
Presidents, Mr Summrr doubtless derives <
great advantage from his connection with (
this Society, as any one might; it enables |
Idin to keep up with a knowledge of a'l
the best varieties o4 fruits, and the twos' 1
approve 1 moles of cultivation. The President
of the Society says that it's published
proceedings, embracing its discussions, re
ports of committee, catalogue.*, and paper*
on various pomologicul subjects, embody a
mass of information from the best eultiva
tors of this country, such as is po?so?e I hy (
no other nation on earth.
At the close of the meeting " Dr. KnwAtms ?
of Missouri, having In his hand an evergreen
wreath starred with flowers approached the
President, upon the platform, and said, that
in behalf of the ladies of St. Lnu'?a, it was
his very agreeable duty to confer upon him
a w?ll merited and m ?sl appropriate
crown." President Wii.dkr respond, d briefly
and in a handsome, and truly guliaut stale

We thought the proceeding* of Mich n
Soei-'ty worthy a passing notice, and we
liar* hopes that many persons in thi? State,
and everywhere South, will now take a
new " departure " in cultivating frui'a ami
every vnliinhle product, of our tine ollmole
and liountifiil aoil. Dive-aifi^d agricu'ture
must now, to a ureal extent, throughout the
South, taka the place of the at ti pic of cult on,
or mere corn growing.
We hopo our friend Wn.u.vw Summit may
l>o prepared this season with a Rood stork of
fruit trees, grapes, etc., and that tlio demand
may exccod bis expectations. In this State
apples, cherries, plums nnd grapes may bo
planted any tiuro during the winter; pQ.-vchtrees
tUioutd bo planted in Pobrunry, unless s?t
, out in tho Pall. Our orchards need a general
recruiting. In our early recollection tho cider
rob apple was very common in tho District, it
fans now'atmost disappeared, tho rciutroduction
of this variety, for cider and tho production of
a bountiful supply also of pure vinegar, i<
very desirable. Will not our fanners soo to
fruit growing, for their own and their country's
good. There will be found groat profit as well
as health and pleasuto in tho pursuit.
Legislation in South Carolina.
Gen. Csxnv being, by Act of Congress,
tbe State, has (in consultation it is said
with Governor Our) made the usual appropriations
for the support of the civil govern
mont of the Stati for the ensuing year.
The appropriations are nearly identical
, with those nia-le last year, and e/^ry year,
in fnct, for the naoal expenses of the Stats
Government. There is one large unuMtnl
item of $80,00<\ for eerrj ing on the Slate
Penitentiary ; this Arises from the new n*cessities
of tlie times.
The Tax Act of Gen. Cavdt is not yet
published. That will be of more practical
interest to the peop'e than the appropriation.
They have no control of either.?
They must pay the taxes. So far at developed,
Gen. Canbt, In his present legislation,
appears to be guided by a sincere derlr*
for the good of the State. It is a great
pity all the military commanders, fr-.m the
first, aoiilii not have been influenced by a
regard for liberty and Juet'ce rather than a
narlizan Z'Uil for Radicalism. They did not
know till lately, but that the Radicals were
to be nlweya the strong side.

Tho Reconstruction Convention passed
an ordinances to organise the volunteer
militia o' Alabama. It authorizes one
company to every thousand voters; all

and to be of known loyalty. The eon?erv-'
olives declare that this measure places the
State under a military dynasty similar to
Brownlow'a. Its expenses will necessarily
greatly increase the rates of taxation. An
ordinance was pn?sel, declaring the war
debt of the State, and all liabilities created,
directly or indirectly, in aid of tho war,
null and void. The session of the Convention
will eonlim:* through Ja part of ne?t
week.
