who may be induced to buy land in South
Carolina. It is of great importance that the
peculiar attractions offered by our siction^to
^ those wishing to settle upon their own lanJtJbe
W brought into notice. This can oniy he done
I by niakiu; it a specialty.
The class of imniigrauts most needed among
us, (all others, of com se, are welcome, 1 is the
ae who brings with himtnoughto buy?even
in a small way?a certain (juanuty of our land;
(theonly capital which we have left.) This
is easily done, by such a cne, as one-fourth the
estimated value paid dowt, will give him a
title, and possession: with three or four, and
even five years, to pay lis? balance.
This class of settlers, mtivc or immigrant,
must be dealt with personally--must be convinced
that this country,qitli all its advantages
does esist. and is witjin his reach. Once
satisfied on this point, therest is easy. They
know nothing of our country, heretofore closed
to the outside world, utd jt has to bt. told
to them.
The object of the AGEXtY is to do this: to

The Situation.
At this present time, says the New York
[ Tribune, the merchants, manufacturers
and farmers of tho United States have
had a hard struggle to maintain themselves.
They have a fight on their bands
against the evils growing out of abuses of
credit and foolhardy speculations They
find themselves in danger of being overcome
by the demoralization begotten of
war and the dishonest currency, by debts
and taxes. Now, what are they to gain
l.?. 111 a i p in ilm /lnrw/orc

which surround tlicai ? They arc in the
enemy's country, and it is their business
to know the enemy's strength. That policy
of puffery and falsehood which answered
so weil two or three y?ars ago will not answer
in those times. In its day it was a
curse to the country, ^rmd now it is an in.
suit. The truth is always salutary, und
never uiorc so than when the land is covered,
as with snow, with the wrecks of
once successful frauds and humbugs. To
tell #the truth is not to croak. Truth is
the very medicine that is needed Could
quackery be ever successful the country
would furever be growing worse. Life,
with every disease, were a thousand times
worse than death itself.
It does seeui to the superficial observer
inexplicable that agriculture, trade, manufactures,
and transportation should all
be suffering at once, with apparently no
tendency towards a recovery. Great forcos
are at work producing a great change.
The progress towards better things is none
the less real because it is not instant and
on the surface. The present suffering is
only the measure of the disorder. Consider
only the magnitude cf the evil of
investing in the course of three or four
years three hundred million dollars in
railroads which are paying nothing on
tho capital expended on them. Consider
tho next link in the chain, the iron works
constructed and mines opened to supply
tho material for such railroads?all now
prostrate together. Consider the towns
and cities overloaded with debt incurred
to build those railrouds. Consider the
stoek-jobbci- who formerly held the seats
of honor at tables where the voice of the
"croaker" was not heard. Hut why go on ?
Is it not plain tlf# si^h n wnstc of proJuctm?'^tt4!r^crh'Trd(^

the true course of industry, such demoralization
in all classes of society, cannot be
recovered from in a day? Arc we going
to bed to night, fooling certain that in the
morning we shall be recovered from our
long debauch ? Are they all ''croakers"
who refuse to believe this*?
We have considered it our duty to study
| and report upon the actual condition of
I things; to ascertain the full strength of
the enemy; to know the Weakness of our !

we huve not painted in stronger colors j
than the reality In all that concerns the |
exchange and consumption of goods, pro- j
gress lias been suddenly arrested. Wc
stand where we were two or three years ago.
Nearly everybody has resolved, or lias
been compelled, to buy and use less of
the goods which his neighbor makes a j
living by making or selling. Hence there
seems to be a general over-production,
even of the absolute necessaries of life.?
This state of things, from its very nature,
is temporary. Hut nothing is gained by I
understating its strength or underestima- 1
ting its endurance. The great thing is to
understand the one anu to wait patiently j
until the other is exhausted. We are like t
a ship surroundid by icebergs, and it is |
sheer lun acy to pretend not to ->ec any-1
thing hut plain sailing.
Kach individual has his own business,
in which lie may or may not have commit
ted acts of imprudence. But whether he
lias or lias not. lie himself understands
liis own business belter than anybody else, i
and lie himself must manage it as prudently
as lie can. The recovery of a
healthy tono in the business world de-,
pends on the sagacity, patience, economy, |
and other like* virtues of individuals. Let
those virtue- be practiced and the result
cannot be doubtful. By cool observers j
the consequences of the opposite vices J
bad loii^ been foreseen. We have not ,
lost confidence in the character of our
business men. The world is not coming
to an end b? ?use speculators are at last
awake to a r -izing sense ol their follies, t
Nor is the p'^spect so hopeless that the
truth must be coucoalod. There is need <
?
I however, for other work than persistent i
croaking at the croakers. Cursing Neptune
has little effect on the weather, and |
they in old Home who did this whenever ,
they lost a ship added nothing to their ,
reputation as merchants.
A man was arrested recently for being
intoxicated with delight.

tSDAY, NOYEMBEI
Cotton.
The South, in an article published in
its last issue, has the following sensible
remarks relative to the extensive culture
of cotton, to the exclusion of other products,
in the South. "Many papers talk
wildly about the great capacity of cotton
production, but that has nothing to do
with the question of Southern prosperity.
If every State in the North were to plant
only grain, there would undoubtedly be
a great deal of it in the market, but would
that advance the wealth of the North in
any degree ? On the same principle, if
the South continues the foolish policy of
spending every cent of its available capital
in the production of cotton, it will
drug the market and retard its progress.
The South to-day has really no agricultural
independence* The farmers of the coast
States pay from a dollar to a dollar and a
half a bushel for the grain which is destrovcd
in Wisconsin and Minnesota, while the
nennle of the hitter States cot the worked
I ?t o
cotton cheaper than the producers themselves,
owing to the better facilities they
po.-sess for cheap transportation.
This is only one of the items that illustrates
the foolish policy that has heretofore
been pursued by our planters. Stat?
isticians have estimated that the Southern
States spend fully ?50,000,000 a year fur
the cost of living, almost all of which
goes to increase tho already overflowing
coffers of the North. When it is taken
into consideration that the cotton crop of
the last two or three years has sold fur
but from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000
per annum, and that fully oue-fourth of
this has gone for bread, it becomes very
evident that there is an important screw
loose. It is positively necessary that
there should bo some reform iu the matter
of cotton. Georgia has raised sufficient
grain this year for home consumption
and wo have not words enough to express
our gratification at her wise course. Every
Southern State can do the same thing
and more than do it. Every furmer must i
not dabble in cotton. There is less mo- j
nnc than trouble in its uroduction. A
protracted drouth, continued rains or pes
tilonlial woruis may destroy the crop, and
then tliero is nothing to lull back upon;
no grain, no bread. .
a remedy for all this. Plant'
less cotton and pay more attention to the
other staples. Enhance the value of the
cotton that is raised by buildiug mills to
work it at home. Do not dopond on rival
sections for food and force rival sections
to depend upon you for clothing.
This is4he true course, and we sincerely
hope the South will follow it."
Sunlight for the Sick.?Dr. Wui.
II. Hammond, in discussing the sauitury
influence of light, observes that the effects
or deficient light upon the inmates of hospital
wards and sick chambers have fre- ,
qucntly come under his special notice;
that most physicians know how carefully
the attendants upon the sick endeavor
to exclude every ruy of light from the
apartment, und even some members of
the profession are singularly assiduous in
this respect, but that the practice, except
in some cases of actuul disorder of the
hruin and other Darts of the nervous sys. '
torn, id pernicious, admits of no question.
During the late civil war Dr. H. visited a
camp and hospital in West Virginia, in
consequcnco of information received that
the sickness and mortality there prevailing
were uuaccountably great, and he
made a minute examination into all the
circumstances connected with the situation
of the camp, the food of tho men
etc. Among other peculiarities, he found
the sick crowded into u small rooui, from
which the light was excluded by blinds
of india-rubber cloth. The patients wero
as effectually bleached as is celery by tho
earth being heaped up around it; pale,
bloodless, ghost-like looking forms, they
seomedjto be scarcoly mortal. C'ouvalescncc,
was, under such circumstances, according
to Dr. Hammond, almost impossible,
and his belief was that many of the
men had died, who had they been subjected
to the operation of the simplest
laws of nature, would have recovered

Presence of Mini>.?Prof. Wilder, of
Cornell Hniversity, gives these short rules
for action in case of accident: Fur dust
in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash water into
thorn; remove cinders, etc., with the round
point of a lead pencil. Remove insects
from the car by topid water; never put a
hard instrument into the ear. If an arte, j
ry is cut, compress above the wound; if a |
vein is cut, compress below. If choked, j
get upon all fours, and cough. For light
burns, "dip the part in cold water; if the
skin is destroyed, cover with varnish.?

carbon is suspected, walk erect. Suck
poison wounds, unless jour mouth is sore.
Enlarge the wound, or, better, cut out the
part without delay. Hold the wounded
part as long as cau be borne to a hot coal
or end of a cigar. In case of poisoning,
excite vomiting by tickling the threat, or
by water and mustard. For acid poisons,
givo acids; in case of opium poisoning,
give strong coffee and keep moving. If
in water, float on the back, with the nose
and mouth projectiag. For apoplexy, raise
the head and body; for fainting, lay the
person flat.
A Pennsylvania Romance.?Two
farmers living on adjoining farms in Girard
township, Erie couuty, have for
year* been unfriendly on account of" the
disagreement about the lino fences which
separated their lands, both claiming the
ten feet which was formerly the lane running
between the two places. Their children
have grown up inheriting their parents'
animosity; and their eldest sons
have several times been subpoenaed as
witness* in lawsuit swhich have grown out
of this difficulty. The case had been a
sort of suit in chancery, having run on
from year to year, both men spending
their money in lawyer's foes without any
legal conclusion.
About a year ago the two farmers awoke
on Moudav morning to find that each
had lost a child, one his youngest son and
the other his only daughter. Like the
houses of Montague and Capulet, in
"Romeo and Juliet," the scions of the
two rival houses had secretly cherished
a fondness for one another, and knowing
the feud between the families, without
divulging their passions or inten.
tions they met clandestinely and carried
into effect the elopement.
A week passed, at the end of which the
father of the runaway daughter was called
on to go to Eric and attend again to
the everlasting lawsuit. He went in early
to the office of the lawyer, and, taking
up one of the weekly papers, read the
marriage notice of Emma. If was a terrible
blow, and lie went out into the yard
to try and walk off his excitement. Ail
that passed through the old gentleman's
mind is not known, but there seemed to
be a desperate struggle within, which re-suited
in hisTeturning^ftbe hiwyer's- offico
and postponia^i^ business. Then
he drove directly to his farm and bad
ajldng private interview with his wife;
then he did what he had not done for
twenty years?went ovor and called on
his enemy. lie was found sick, having
been confined to his room since the abandonment
of his favorite son. Both the
two farmers met, and for a few minutes
stood face to face in profound silence.
At length the father of Emma spoke ;
4,I have come to settle the dispute; let the
children have the lot on cither side of
the lane, and I will build them a house."
"And I will furnish it." So the recreaut
childron were sent for and forgiven
and came home to receive their parents'
blessing. And now there are no more
lawyers for the two farmers, but each has
faithfully fulfilled his contract iu regard
to his house and furniture.

The Labor question.?mere n> pi?bably
no question which can interest the
Southern people, of greater moment than
the question of labor, present and to
come. It is one with which our future
prosperity us a people is intimately associated.
The general public might think
it one in which our farmers alone arc interested,
but it has a much deoper and
wider significance. The prosperity of
every branch of'our industry is involved
in its solution, for oYerythiug is directly
or indirectly involved in the succms or
failure of the farmer or planter. Under
these circumstances it is one which we
approach with very gront caution, and yet
it is one which our puopie would do well
to consider.
Our farming system bus been uprooted
by the results of the war, aud y?:t many
of our best farmers have endeavored to
carry out the same plans of agriculture
which were a characteristic of Southern
farming befi.ro the war. This was, among
others, a plan, so to speak for devastating
the country by cutting down our fore6tsj
wearing out the laud, aud allowing our
worn out lields to grow up into brumbies
and pines* This we can afford under our
old system of labor, but under the changed
system of labor all must be changed.
Labor is cheaper now than it was before
the war, but it is almost entirely uncontrollable.
What we want is labor,
better, more reliable labor. This cau be
properly regulated through the Grange
order, and if our Grangers will take hold
properly of this subject they will be surprised
at the readiness with which a proper
solution can be reached. Whon we

to say on the subjoct.? Charlotte-Obtcrver.

Spurgeon's Church in London.
We got a scat in one of the galleries,
aye the Danbury man writing from Spurgeon's
church in London, and found
ourselves in an oblong building with sev
oral tiers of galleries, and a wide spread
of floor, capable in all of seating 10,000
persons. It was not a particularly attractive
building, being merely a succession
of sittings wherever we looked. At the
end opposite the front, and juat below the
traileries. was a broad nUtfnrm This
j - r
whs tbo only semblance of a pulpit.?
There were but a few hundred people
present when I entered, and they looked
euibarr&aaod and insignificant in the forest
of scats. I imagininod there was to be a
slim attendance.
When the doors opened the peoplo
fairly swarmed in, and for fifteen minutes
they fairly piled into the aisles without
cessatiou. But still the building was far
from being filled. I grew discouraged*? *
Still they caine floating in and filling up,
but when a rather large and over fed look*
iug gentleman cam* upon the platform
from a door under the lowest back-gaJlery,
and everybody about mo said, "There bo
is," the seats were not entirely filled.?
He gave out the first hycun amid the
rustle of dresses, and the shuffling of
feet, and it was sung with a will, but
there was no interruption to the insetting
i current of humsuity. I don't exactly
i realize to this day how those seats were
filled, because it was done as imperceptibly
us a gentio full of snow hides tho
earth and blocks up the ways. T?ie hymn
was suug, the service read, and other
siuging followed, and ail the while tho .

commence his sermon every seat vrns fit.
tea ana the steps which formed the pus.
sago-ways between the gallery seats wero
hidden beneath perspiring bat curious
humanity. In every direction but tho
ceiling was a sea of faces and clothing.
On the platform with the cause of the
great gathering were the officers and ma.
ny of the prominent men ottbe church.?
There was no choir.
Ten thousand people quietly seated (
and filled with religious omotions and
cologne, is a spectacle rarely vouchsafed
ta mortal's, gars. Here tjwyjfepe, spread
out before me like a~sheel offy-paper on "^^1
a druggist's show case; and all the little
eccentricities of a congregation, but rare*
ly noticed in the average gathering, swel*
led into a volume of startling dimensions
in this hugo audience.
The change of position, which is but a
perceptible rustle in the average body of
worshippers, on tho close of a prayer or
hymu, here became a rustling sonnd like
I the breaking away of a great body of water,
nnd the preparatory cough or hawking,
as the hymn was given out, arose from
ton thousand throats, and bcoame magnified
into u clap of prolonged thunder.
The nun who stepson the end of afootstool
and tips it up, so that it frightens an
entire audience, was here multiplied by
thirty, with the most cheering success.
And when all the ladies took out their
uaijufeui vuius w nir? UJUUIUI, it
seemed so much like a snow storm, that I
had put on my hat and pulled it down
over my eyes, before realizing my mistake.
The turning of the leaves of ten thousand
hymn books need not bo described. Any
imagination enjoying the most moderate
! health, can depict the noise without trou.
ble. The nearest thing I can liken it to,
is the rolling and breaking of tho Burf
