Camden needs, perhaps, more than Sumter, the development of a uew industry to attract population, enhance valuoe, and infuse new life into all deparUjieuts of trade and commerce. The want of means will not prove An obstacle when rightly considered.? The subscription to the stock would be divided among a large number of people and no one subscriber would likely take a large amount. The sums subscribed would be called for in small amounts, say monthly, ,. nuc hnlf during the ensuing winter, and the remainder next year. The money for the machinery would not be required until the buildings were ready to receive it, and iawonld fake the greater part of a year to prepare for it We hftve heard many express a great interest in this subject, and we trust that all our people will examine it carefully for themselves.

After fitly expressing his grateful appreciation of the gift and generously mentioning othors who shared in his honorable deeds, he adds : "Here, perhaps, I should close, but I trust your Excellency will indulge me in a few practical reflections upon the present political status of the country. It is often inconsiderably said, and written, and I fear also inconsiderately believed, that our Government has been entirely revolutionized?State sovereignty destroyed?the Constitution set aside?and.personal liberty lost.? These laments become not an intelligent, heroic people, overshadowed by awrittea Constitution, admitted to be a good one. That the people of tire Southern States so regarded it is apparent from the fact that the constitution under which they recently attempted to establish a separarate Confederacy is almost a lineal copy from it. If really gobd then, it mast be so now, unless marred by snbsequent changes, which, good or had, ore techimcalty called "amendments." Of these there have since been only three. Ti.a fivai aimnlv ordains th&t from and after its adoption slavery shall not exist in the United I States. But the abolition of slavery had been i previously declared (whether authoritatively or i not) by Federal Executive proclamation, had been acquiesced in by the parties in interest and prohibited for the future by the new constitutions of most, if not all, of the Southern 8tatee. The second in effect extends to emancipated slave the rights and privileges of ciienship? provides that for al) male oitsens over the age of 21 years denietl suffrage by the 8taie6 there shall be a proportionate diminution of tlmrepresentative population?disfranchises a large number of the bent eiticeas of the Southern States, but emnowert Conrress to remove this disability, ] ?w declares the public debt of the United States inviolable?repudiate* the war debt Of the Southern State*, and prohibits compensation for emancipated slaves. The third ordains that the right of clthens of the United Stales to vote shall not be denied or abriged on acccouut of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. I do not propose new to discuss the merits or the validity of the*# changes, hut to inquire how for they affect the practical workingB of our system of government. In this view, it will be found that the only change wrought is in the TTTTTi1 VAr rf Uf rf*p*fstirirr ?nd >>"" hr conferring the right of suffrage upon a very J large number not previously entitled to it, and as we believe net qualified for it. It does not take from the Bute the general power to regulate suffrage, but prohibits the denial or abridge* meat of it on account of race or color, etc. Thange in the eanstiioent body is certainly most deplorable and especially prejudical to the Southern States. But let it be borne in mind ' L , -J I that thin enlarged body is still hedged in. pro- | tooted nod restrained by the Constitution at it ! pre-existed. That instrument still contains the taring clause : "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people." But it is said this is theoretical only; practically, the power of the General Governm. nt has grown to enormous dimensions, while that of the States has proportionally diminished. The , Congress of tho United States has repudiated | State constitutions confessedly republican in | in character and compelled the formation of others?and the civil authorities of the States have been subordinated to the Federal military. Yes. these and numerous other outrages have been perHn? these things have occurred during ihc prevalence of "the mania which followed the termination of a protected civil war. There are indications that thin abnormal exoitment in subsiding- The time for sober second thought must come soon, or the country will rush into anarchy. If there be no escape from a result so full of horrors, we must mset onr own fate as best we may. But until overwhelmed by tbe catastrophe we must pretermit no effort to avert it. My position is that there ia now nocause for despondency?that the wrongs and oppressions we have endured resulted from ac rainistrative abuses; not from structural changes in the GoI vernmeut. This distinction should be kept constantly in view. In a complex government like our own (the political powers divided between the General and Ste Governments), let it never be conceded that a powgr onee usurped is thenceforth a power transferred; nor that a right once suppressed is for tbst cause a right extinguished; nor that a constitution a thousand times violated becomes a constitution abolished ; nor, finally, that a government prostituted by two or three couseoutire auminiRiraiionx 10 purpose* of tyranny end corruption roust thereafter he regarded i?? a gorernraent revolutionised The startliug occurrence! of the last decude xhould stimulate the patriotic men throughout the length and breadth ofthe land to bury sectional animosities, to unite heart and soul in ln<1ic<fcf ion of the principles they Imve seen violated, in correction of abuses they have witnessed. in struggling within the pale of the Constitution, with all the power of enrne?l manhood, to reatore that sacred instilment to iu pristine supremacy. Such is the grandeur.of the work which aow challenges the patriotic enterprise of the young and middle aged of our common coun* lrj ' Admiral tomatoes. 1 This distingnishod gentleman, whnee career on the Alabama and other Confederate I cruisers, displayed accomplishments ns an : officer and seaman seldom parallelled, and i whrme record of his adventurous career du ' ring the war. ha* given him a position in the | field of letter# quite as remarkable, has made a speech at the Montgomery White Sulphur | Springs, in Virginia, replete with wisdQm and the best sentiments, of which we have the following brief mention: Admiral Bemraes, formerly the commander I of the Alabama,'made a speech defending his career in the Confederate service, at the meetI ing of the Bout hern Historical Society at Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, Va., on Saturday. He maintained that the Alabama bad warrants for all sk.e did, and that her conduct was I fully justified by that of the United State* during the Revolution and the" war of 1812- He i denied burning ships without authority of law, the violatation of his parole, and the carrying * of foreigners on his ship, ne also said that if the nation exists we will have but one history. Our Confederate history will live for a genera Hon or more, but only as an episode in that or the'conntry. Let us show magnnmity. If fame has been gained on either side let us perpetuate it. Let ns pursue that moderate course, and give credit where credit is due. He was willing to be Judged by the standard of truth; and willing to leave bis history and that of the Alabama, the Florida, and ShenAndoah, to be written when there will be cherished no more North, no more South.. rORTHEJOURNLA. Mr; Editor: The success which tins attended the weekly meetings of some of our farmers, and the spirit of perfect freedom and mutual good will there exhibited, suggests the idea of jesuscitatiug and maintaining Wnteree Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry. For want of appreciation and support this institution has been permitted to languish. We believe it is because our farmers hare not given the order due thought. Blsawhere in this State (ercn in oitV own fount y at Flat Rock and Liberty Hill) it is itourishihg. With the elements of success in this community and vicinity, it is marvellous that an institution so broad in its principles and beneficent in its i purposes, should take so little bold. Surely an institution which is sveeping with th*e velocity of a whirlwind .over this broad land, from the lakes to the gulf, embracing in its Briarean arms the grain-growing power of the Northwest, and the cotton planter of the South, that is grappling with monopolies, extortioners, dis honesty and corruption?that is bringing into fraternal relations men of all parties, irrespective of past differences, for the material -advancement of the great farming community, which has been the prey of maladministration, rail road rings, monied circles and tariff exactions, must have some merit in it. We suggest the discussion of the subject at the next meeting, and a calm inquiry into the arguments pro and cen. PATRON. ron the foresal.

A. (JOTTON MINUFAOTI BG. Report of Col. J. B Palmer The following report was niado Ly Colonel J. B. Palmer, of the Saluda Mills, at Colatu liia, S. C.. to tho Agricultural Convention which met in Columbia, S. 0 in April, 1869: The advantages possessed by the South over the North in manufacturing cotton may be stated briefly, to bo : 1. An abundance of unoccupied water power in every Southern State. 2. A uiild climate. Fire, for heating purposes, is only necessary for from one to three months in tho \ear liesinous heart pine wood can be procured at very low rates. We pay for such wood deliverod within one uiile of our factory, only one dollar per cord, aud our total cxpeuse for fuel, say two | and one-half months in the year, is bat one i tenth of one cent per*pound, when charged to the manufactures of those months, while in the North it is about one per cent, per pound on the manufactures of at least five months in the year. 3. Wages are, and must continue to be comparatively low. The mildness of the climate, the abundance of lumber, and the i cheapness of the land, enables manufacturers to provide their operatives with inexpeusive but comfortablo bouses and large garden plats. Tbo country being an agricultural ono, wc must soon be able to produce our provisions, while the luunufacturI : * (,f tli?> North must ulwavs de I ...b ? pond upon the distant, and, to some extent, upon the South, for theirs. 4. Operatives. Northern men, noting as superintendents of Southern mills, admit (lie superiority of our factory hands, who fire . remarkably frugal and industrious, and who are easily controlled. ft. Freights are lower on yarns and cloths than on lint cotton. There has hocn a time within the last three years, when a hale of cotton of 4f?0 pounds, worth sat ?00, paid ; a* freight, from Charleston to New Vork or 1'hiludclpliia, of $2 f)0 per hale, which wonhl Le 2.77 per cent, on value; while that cotton, made into a hale of 400 pounds of No. 20 yarn, worth, say, $136, paid only 00 cents ; per hale, 44-100 por cent, on value?a differ^ enee iu favor of yarns of 21 per cent. The Southern manufacturer saves the freight on bagging, rope and other waste This waste can he manufactured into paper at the South faiorc cheaply than nt the North, and is. consequently, more valuable here than there ? Reclamation on false packed or damaged cotton is ea?y and direct, ami we save the burdensome Northern charges for storage, brokerage. &c. I support these propositions by the'follow- ] ing statement of actual cost ot manufacturing 1 at Saluda Cotton Mills, ns shown by our i books. It must be recollected that wo have "i employed in the mnnufactnre of No. 20 yarn ' only 4000 spindles.

Ill all 8150. 000,00(1. ? 1 The average production of yarn? last year . throughout the I 'nitcd .States, was, per spindle, 62.17 pounds ; the average number of yarn manufactured. 271; the total number of spindle* G.TM8 249; of these the Northern i States had 5,848.477, and the .Southern State* only 199,772. The average number of yam manufactured at the Soujh was 12?; * production per apiudle, 140,87. These figures arc based upon the reports I made to the National Association of Cotton | Manufacturers nnd Planters. It is probable that many of tho smaller mills in the South i i worennt reported. My calculation in based upon an average production per spindle (ring j i traveller) of 87 pounds, and average number I 20. To Rpiu 2.500.000 bales would require i i 11.491.258 spindles. The calculation will ( j varv, according to kind of spinning done and 1 ( | machines used. 11,494,253 spindles would ( I givo employment to 250,000 hands?prinei I l pally /oinalcs, from ten years of ago up, and i small boys. The nverago wages of opera i lives (big and liule) in our mill is $112 S2 : per annum, whieh would give as the grns^ j I amount paid for wages per annum, nearly I M.OOU.OOO And that, too, paid for laboY that would nearly all of it not only be otherwise unemployed in addinp to the wealth of the country, but be a positive burdon upon the country. i Whore weaving is done, the number of operatives and amount of wages paid will, of! ' course, be much more. It must not be supposed that, because | these tipures show that it would require about I twice the number of spindles now run in the - ----- -1 Vorth to spin up our entire cotton crop at | irinc, that the amount of capital required #ould ho double that investment in cotton manufactures in the North, and therefore bej-ond our reach; for hut.a comparatively small amount of Northern capital is invested in spinning. The most of it is in weaving, dyeing, printing, bleaching," &e. Spiuoinir is comparatively simple, and complications * louunenee where,weaving begins. It must be evident to every business man. that all our cotton will, sooner or later, bo manufaeiured at the place of iU production, [f done now, by associat ions of planters and other Sontbcfn people, additional wealth is secured to ourselves and to our children; i deferred Northern capital atrd energy wil inevitably occupy the field It seems to me entirely practicable for the plHr.ton of the cotton growing districts, all av-cr the .South, to combine together,, in joint ifock associations, and erect cotton mills of sufficient capacity to spin up their crops No iaubt, if this suggestion were acted upon at i 11 - -1 i - - Dice, ana ail qui" UUIKIU niuuv iniu jam, tinij thrown npon the "Northern market, the sup. ply would exceed the demand, and loss, at 5r3t, would enrue. My proportion if to ship direct to the continent of Europe, as well as to the North. Tt would take a? but little time to drive othci?yarns from the uinrket. The process of approaching the spinning of Dtir entire crop "7,'r.ld be gradual, and would keep pace with the gradual "withdrawal of our competitors. The arguments in favor of spinning will apply with equal force in favor of weaving. [ have, however, confined my suggestions and calculations to spinning, because it is mora simple, and requires loss capital; and is, therefore, more likely to be generally aJcpted at an early day. To show the practicability of this plan. I submit, an estimate for a cotton thill with 4,080spindles, ring travelling frames: Number of sqnre feet of flooring, 10200; amount of No. 20 yarns manufactured per ipindle, 87 pounds.
