n?? i From the Camden Journal. Stony Hill, Sept. 26, 1842. To IIis Excellency the Governor: Dear Governor :?I was disappointed in paying my respects to you at the Camp, as I wished and intended ; but, to convince you that I am not unmindful ot you, permit me to send you specimens ol Cotton Plants. They will show you what 44 Old Carolina"?"our own, our native land" can do, when humored, and aided by the proper means. The cotton sent, grew upon land which was purchased by my father, in 1814 or '.5?cleared long before, from the name he gave it, (" The Old Black Level,' ) - * A ^ and planted by him every year, up to 1832, in cotton, unaided, and since '32, every year by me, in cotton, except one year in corn, but assisted along with the needful. You would conclude, from the age and culture of the land, that it was the worse of wear, and needed aid?and from the specimen* sent, that it had received it, anil that liberally. My object 111 sending you this cotton, and c illing \ onr attention to the miprovciiient of our culture and lards, is to enlist you in my ranks, having drser **d \otirs, inasmuch as I cannot now support j our favorite measure, (Brigade Eiicamj meiits,) with my wonted zeal. I presume you have heard that my opinions are changed, with regard to Brigade Encampments, as I fcave expressed ihem very freely. Now, as I may receive an attack from you, when we meet, I have thought it prudent to en. trench myself behind my lavorite and strong barrier, Agriculture. I have come to the conclusion that the week or ten days which many will he absent from their homes in going to, remaining at, nnd returning from camp, might be better employed in the farm, not to mention the strong argument against the Encampment system. Its o * v effects in forcing many a clever fellow to ra-.irrn nr not accent office. from inabdi. ?/ X. J ty to attend the Encampments and he absent-from home 90 lung. I mean, of course, those whose circumstances cannot stand the expense?those who have to work themselves?to make and gather their own crops. Of which class are many fine and efficient officers. As for my own part, I like the camp much?hut what is pleasure, life to the officer who is able to stand the expense, is death to the poor man, whose means of support depend upon his own personal exertions. In other words, Encampments do not make, but break many good officers. My opirU ion now is, that it would he enough to ensure an efficient militia, that the Brigadier General he required to attend and superintend Regimenal musters, and the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major and Adjutant of Regiments, he required to at. tend and superintend Company drills. Indeed, I am ultra enough, at times, to think it would be almost sufficient that our yeomanry should be well armed? having arms, would ensure a knowledge of their use; and as for the rest, we all know that it is only necessary for a freeman to think that bis country needs his vigilance and other services, and he will step forth at once, and with alacrity, an. ticipating a call upon him. Do not suppose that 1 am altogether for Agriculture. I would not legislate much upon the subject; but would let it * alone, as much as the safety and defence of the country would allow. I would guard and protect it by amending such enactments and unwholesome existing laws, as trench upon or impe de its im-1 provement. Just think, if we should fail j to improve the.opportunity which is now at hand, (while Agriculture commands the highest consideration and respect of all classes,) tc stimulate and urge our countrymen to bestir themselves?to reduce agriculture to a science, and go ear. nestly to work to reclaim our worn and threadbare lands?should ice neglect it, | what w ill lie th?* condition of our dear and gallant State? W I'll our lands worn out, j we will la; compelled to seek others that will do more for? us. I repeat it, wha* will be the condition of our dear anrf gat- , Innt State? She ui'l haw the extent of territory, but few, comparatively, to - possess and defend it. Let us then, turn our attention to Agriculyire, the main stay of our country, and i/s improvement the salvation of our State. Now is the time to strike for the pur. suit?it should he upheh. with energv And ze<fl; and as yot.r rIntra Mer and pos. ition will give force and effect to whatever you may say or do, I trust (hat we shall have you as our leader, in udvocu. tir.g such measures as may tend to support our great and good cause. In conclusion, let me add, that the country must suffer, if a timely blow he not struck for Agriculture. Within a short time, I havo heard several worthy citizens of Fairfield and Richland, speak of the west with a feeling of regard which I did not like, though at times, I find myself with them (having strong sympathies) almost concluding to go and look at the land of promise myself. For years, I have resisted the importu. nities of relatives and friends, to quit our ' threadbare lands and seek others, thai would do better for me. In reply, I have always contended, that I could do better here, all things considered, than elsewhere ; hut if otherwise, 1 would prefer a competency in Carolina, Jo affluence in i any other State. I would say, Carolina I now and forever1. Let us first improve % her soil?she will then retain her own,; and many will seek her as a home, and be ,' proud to defend her. Excuse my long letter, which was in. tended at first, to be only a short note ; hut when I mounted my hobby, he ran off with me. With great icspcct and esteem, I remain truly yours, * William J. Taylor. From the Greenville Mountaineer. Mr. Wells:?I request the favour of you to insert the following correspond, ence in your paper. With the hope of re. moving the prejudice which exists against j the expediency of Sunday Schools for the religious instruction of colored population, I have obtained the opinion of Gen. Whitner, which I prcsentedto your read, ers. It will settle, I trust, the question of the legality oi such a School. The expediency establishing them is-found by ex. r-~ inutrnclinn IS pcNPncc ; inr una iiiimc in ? | exclusively pursued through a large portion of our State, and invariably attended wtih good, and never with evil effects, so fnr as I have been able to ascertain, after ( much inquiry on the subject. Perhaps the best r< gulated plantation in tbe South, ern States (Mr. Clav's, in Georgia) is that mi which this system of instruction lias been most thoroughly and .fully tested; and many other witnesses might he brought to testify to the moral improvement of their Negroes under similar institutions. Nothnig more is neeessary than an aequaintanee with the system to remove from the minds of the most sensitive, tbe imaginary (lungers with which it is invested. The follow ing is ibesuhsianee of a lei ter addressed to Gen. Whitner : Guek.nvillk Aug. 16, 1 S4*2. n ' ??l#lr..^^ IVHI fl4 111*! Solid IUCilV Kill 1 uuui vw j uu ?? tor of this Circuit, lor the purpose of ohMining your legal opinion on the following point: Early in the Just summer, 1 established, in Jhe Episcopal Church, a Sabbath School for the instruction of the blacks in the principles of the christian re ligion. The instruction imparted is entirely oral. The books used by the teach, ers are Jones' Catechism" for the adult classes, and Dr. Capers' small Gate.1 chim for the children. These two works arc sanctioned by very general use among the large Planters of our State. The mode of instruction is exactly similar to that used in many churches which I have visited in the lower Districts.and the same ! in substance with that pursued by the Methodist Missionaries in their extensive Mis. sions upon the plantations on the seaboard. The hour for assembling is 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The doors are open to any citizen who chooses to attend. . The teachers are residents of the community, and confine themselves to oral instruction, as I can testify from a personal inspection of the school every Sunday. Notwithstanding these precautionary arrangements, I regret to find that some opposition exists to the school, and to the mode of conducting it.?We are charge, with violating the laws of the State in spirit, if not in the letter, and encouraging Negroes to read ; and the teachers have been threatened with prosecution if they persevered in their efforts to teach these poor" the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only ground for this charge nppenrs to he the fact, that some of the Negroes have been in the streets with the books used in the school, which they were carrying to their owners who wished to give them religious instruction during the week. * Believing that our proceedings are perfectly legal, and being satisfied that it is according to the will of God that we should ) use this mode of instruction, which 1 think theonl v efficient one foruneducated ininds. I am yet sincerely desirous of showing all proper respect for the laws of the State, on this or any other subject. I therefore i apply to you for your interpretation of the ! laws on this point. You will confer a fa vor on me by an early answer, with the privilege of using it as circumstances may render expedient, Very respectfully, your bh't. ser.v't. C. C. PINCKNKY, Jr. Gen. J.

Dear Sir:?1 feel ashamed that 1 have not found an earlier moment to reply to vo ir Ihvor ofthe 10th inst. 1 have had occasion, previously, to investigate the Act of our Legislature on iho subject respecting whicli you r*qti"st mv opinion, and feel no hesitation in as soring you that there has I wen no legisla Hon to inv' knowledge, at all prohibiting the kind of instruction or in inner of mi parting it to the JS'? grocs, as practised ai \ our-School.

Slaves. , Free Negroes Ate. even in company with j white persons to meet together nnd assemble for the purpose of mental instruction or religious worship,or either, before the j rising of the sun and the going clown of ( the same." The Act of 1803 prohibits the dtspei- ^ sion of such nn assembly before 44 nine , o'clock in the evening," provided a majority of the assemblage were white persons, or the disturbance of their devotion ( otherwise 4 unless upon warrant issued by g a Magistrate.' The act of 1810, providing } for the more effectual performance of Patrol duty, observes like provisions. The Act of 1SS4? prohibits the teaching of any j slave to read or write, under heavy penal- ] tics. J So that frr.m oil that has b'en brought r - t within my observation, after a diligent search into our entire stntute law, 1 con I elude that the assemblage of Negroes in i the day time, in an open place for oral in- < struetion, is not unlawful. The Legisia- , ture seems indeed to have contemplated the propriety of their being assembled lor ' * a! ?? i the purpose " ot menial insirucuon ana ,4 religious worship!" other than in the night timeand in secret places, whether a majority of white persons were present or not. I have been greatly snrprsed with the nature and extent of the prejudice and apprehension existing in a christian community on this subject. In the hands of vicious and designing fanatics, our Negro population might be greatly corrupted under the guise of religious instruction ; but that persons whose judgment and good sense are confided in, whose habits, and education, and interests are identical.' and whose feelings and purposes are not therefore to be brought in qucstion^should be objects of suspicion whilst attempting to point immortal brings the way to Heaven, and this, too, in a land of Rihles. amongst an intelligent, reflecting and christian people, is to me most unaccountable. It cannot be t hat religion is to he withheld, fiorn the Negro because he is a Slave. He is rational and immortal and must he accountable, though his ncrmjii. lability, he shares, I have no doubt,large. lv, with Ins master. Some light is essential lo salvation; and as far as needed, there is nothing incompatible with the re lati <n.

We find the following interesting calculations and notes on the recent census of the United States, in a late Cincinnati paper. It is stated that there occurs, between 15 and 25, one death in 211; between 25 and 35, one death in 43 ; be. twecn 33 and 45, one death in 76; between 45 and 55, one death in 54; between 55 and 65, one death in 31; between 65 and 75, one death in Id; between 75 and 85, one death in 125; be. twecn 85 and 95, one death in 112; between 95 and 105, one death in 116. The above shows a less proportion of deaths be. tween 15 and 25, in proportion to those between 5 and 15 than the bills of mortality generally show. From the age of 35, the proportional number of deaths continually increase, until at the age of 100 but few remain. The last census shows 759 persons above the age of 100. Notwithstanding the great number of those who die young, yet more than two hundred thousand white persons in the United States are past the age of seventy. The laws of life and mortality between the ----- ------ TK?? mm Im> t.-itcd aiu ??? ^ ?? ? ? thus; 1. In the present condition of the white population of the United State#, the number of female# born per annum are about twelve thousand less than tho males. This determines of itself that Polygamy is not a natural condition of man, and that the laws of nature and religion are the same ?that one man shall be the husband of one wonian. 2. At twenty years of age, the females exceed the males. This proves that between birth and twenty, the mortality among the boys has been much greater than that among the girls. 3. From twenty to forty, the iren again much exceed the women, which shows that this is the period of greatest mortality among women. 4. From forty to seventy, the difference rapidly diminishes, the females, as in the early part of life, gaining on the males. This shows that this is < the period of greatest danger and exposure to men ?the least to women. 5. From seventy onwards, the women outnum- ' her the men. This shows, conclusively, that rc- ** lativcly speaking in comparison with men, the ^ healthiest period of female life is the close of it.? Absolutely, however, no period to either sex, is so healthy as that of youth, the blooming period of boyhood and girlhpod. The above deductions of statistical tables correspond with every day observations on human , life. ; I Women are exposed to peculiar hazards in the middle of life ; but, in the long run, far the largest 1 part o" exposure, danger, and risk, in civilized na. tions, fall on men in the active periods of life.

Translated from the French, with Notes adapting it tollif use of farmers in th?* United Statea of America, by Eiizur NVrigh\ Jr.. formerly Professor of Mai I hematics, and Natural Philosophy in the Western Reserve College, Translator ot La Fontaine's &c. Agriculture is the foundation of all human arts?tiie art for which man was made, and the perfection c.f which is his chief happinos* and glory as th?? lord temporal of th a planet* Ot tins sublime art, all other arts and science* are but satellites, their business being to wait on, enlighten, and adorn it with their moon*, shine. Consequently no man more nan the agriculturist needs the full use of his brains, and a perfect Co nin ?nd of all 'lie treasures of human experience So thp farmers of the Untied Slates view the matter; and in pie. seu'iiig them with a translation of the celo. brafed Maison Rustique, of the French, we have no dount of their hearty support. It ic the work of all works on practical agriculture ?the most scientific, clear, and c< mprehetisive, France has long excelled in profitable farming. This is. the source of her wealth. England is rich hy coals and commerce. Her agriculture is splendid, -but sometimes costs more than it comes to. Those who have fortunes to spend may buy the vast works "of Marshall, Dickson Arthur Young, Loudon, &c., hut those who wish to gel a fortune out of the soil will find the French writers better able to show thein the way. The excellence ot French elementary works is well known to all teachers. For centuries, the A/aison Ru.*tique has been, in France, the standard elementary work?the spelling book and grammar of larming. The present edition for " the nineteenth century," has been rew ritten and brought up with the " march of mind/' by sixty of the ablest ,4agronomes" of France. It has all the light of the latest improvements, not only in Frauce, but in all Europe. William Cobber, one of the most successful farmers both in England and America, who wrote the best style and the best French fjramruer that ever was, valued the Maison Rustiques, not only as an encyclopedia of farming, but us a means of educating his children. He waB his own schoolmaster. In ' winter evenings his family resolved itself into a school, and he thus speaks of the use then made <>l tins work:? 4* Our book of never failing resource was ! the French Maison Rusi?que.or Farm House, which, it is said, was the hook that first tempted Dugnosnois (I think that was his name,) thp famous physician in the reign of Louis XIV., to learn to read. Here are all the fourlegged animals, frotn the horse down fo the mouse, portraits and all; all the birds, reptiles, inserts* all the modes of rearing manafnnK. and using the tame, ones, and of destroying those that are mischievous; all the various traps, springs, nets;all the labors of the field and garden exhibited, as well as the rest, in plates; and there was I, in any leisure moments, tojuinthis inquisitive group, to read the French, and tell thein what it meaned in English, when the picture did not sufficiently explain itself. I never have been without a copy of this book for forty years, except during the time that / was fleeing from the dungeons of Castlercagh and Sidmouth, in 1817, and when I got to Long Island, the first took 1 bought was another Maison Rustique.*'?Ad. vice to Young Men, Art. *291.
