The j latform of the Radical parly of tveiy State that has yet opened its campaign has uni formly Bet forth as the burden of its song, Democratic brigadiers seizing the capital, and ihe Democrats in Congress attempting t o stop the wheels of government and iuruguinlc another rcvnluliou. H jiia reveals very clearly what will Lc the i nturc of the campaign argu men (a <d' this party alt through the North. Tho effort will evidently be to fire the Northern mind on scc ttonal and war i.ssues. Su :h argu ments wc old of course have consider able weight with the Northern masses, were it not for the fact that, they ar * false and threadbare. There has 1 ten no revolution ami no attempt to clog the wheels of government, although tho Democrats were in the mnjortyi anil had a per iect right to refuse appropriations as the agents of the people, if re lres.s of grievances could not be obtained, a right which the Radicals would never hesitate to exercise. In fact legislation during Demo cratic asccnelency has been more lib eral to the masses, and even to Un ion soldiers, than under the Republican icgimc. As to Confederate brigadiers, even the people of tho North rcjog ii/.a, that the Vice President of the Con federacy is one of the broadest states men and most liberal men in Con gress. Hut.la.sL and most important, what on be Is there any Credit Mobilicr, Ft. Sill p) und or, Bel knap, or any such caialoguc ol crime to.-tainour record ? The truth is powerful, and although crushed for a while, will prosper in the end. 'J he evidences arc now before our eyes. Wanted One hui.died college graduates to goto work on the farms in Spartan burg. This is, in substance, the head ing of an editorial wc recen tly r?ad in the Spartnuburg ??Spartan;" and we agree thoroughly with the senti ment. Every college graduate thinks that he has no business on the farm, hut is intended for a profession or mercantile calling. This is the m s take which gives highor education its disadvantage. We want educate I farmerb as well as educated doctors, preachers, lawyers and merchants. We ha^o no idea of putting the avo cation of farming down at a discount. The fact is, it stands higheren many respects than all other callings, and in an intellectual point of view, is jnst as much entitled to considera tion as any others. Wo want men on our farms who can analyze the soil ami understand its requirements, and make tho ne cessary applications with scientific precision. The. occupation of the Jarn.cr is too much belittled. Tho tiller of tho soil feeds tho world, and he must make himself felt; and the best way to dc this is by educa tion? not that education which leads our young men to seek such employ ments as will keep them in the sha le, and give them soft hands and fair faces--but that education which expands their minds, and makes them men?every inch of them The Yellow Fever. It is gratifying to note that the panic in Memphis which wc noticed in our last issue is subsiding. No new cutcs cd' fever have been report ed, and it is hoped that the calamity so dreaded may be averted. Cen.

Mr. Editor : It is high lime for our farmers to prepare for our next Annual County Fair t<; he held in Orangeburg, coin - mencing on the 20th day of October next, and ending on the .ilst. With the farmers and stockholders of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association rests the success or failure of the exhibition and it may be further added tho chief benefits of the high est success accrues to them. Thun: who have sufficient interest should hasten to order premium lists and regulations by which th sy may he greatly aided in their endeavors to promote the usefulness of the Fair. With suitable efforts the exhibition of 1S7!) may be made the grandest and more profitable in results than any previously held in the County. The Directors of the Association a re exerting themselves in tinier to ma kc the coming Fair an honor and some thing which all may fee! proud of.

II. 1 leitelman Secretary (). II. and M. A. Orangebnrg. Respectfully, W. F. Barton [For the Ornugcbiirg Time.?.. The Froo School System Ohange TowNsmr, July 28th 1871). Mr. Editor : Without intending the least relloc lion on our school officials, the obser vation of your correspondent as a teacher leads him to the conclusion that the present free school system is a failure. It does more barm than good. It leads ninny to depend on this rounc lor education and saisfy themselves with one or two months tuition during the year, wherein, if there were no free schools, th iy would keep up a private school. It is not my intention to advocate an abolition of the system, but its improvement. It is better lor the people, either to improve it, or abol ish it. II it is to be improved, it can only be done by legislation, 'Jake for instance our School Com missioners' own Township, Cow Cas tle. From its si/.o and situation six schools, at least, will be needed, and yet, if we are cwrrectly iu formed, scarcely 8300 will be raised for next year. This will give but $50 for each tchool. Can anything be more farcical V Ami as it is here, it is every where. The plan proposed for the Orange Township schools will be excellent for the town, but this oven takes away from the surrounding country. 'Hie towns with tho aid ol the school oflieers can tako care of themselves, but what we want is help'for the coun try. it. is not my intention to propose n plan, but mere]) to direct tho atten tion of our legislators to the subject. There is no subject more worthy of serious study. Your correspondent is of li e opinion that it is best either, for the .Suite to educate, the children entirely, or if it can't, to let it alono, and let every man educate his ow n children. Half-way measures won't do. ' A Tkaciieu. [For the Orangcburg Ti.mks.J Ike Again.
