WOOL. GROWING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Charleston Mercury says that the experiment Of
rearing fine breeds Of sheep for wool in the upper part
South Carolina PROMISES TO completely anoosssfu
Mr.. j. d. WAGNER, the Hon. Il. T. SIMPSON, and other
gentlemen in Piekens have engaged in it, and they seem
to have established the facts that sheep flourish in that
region remarkably well, that they be raised at tri
fling cost compared with that of the olgrowing regions
of the North and that the quality of the wool of the
choice European breeds does not degenerate. Mr. Wa
gencr has taken n active part in this enterprise and
imported stock of the famous Saxon sheep which is
found to thrive we'll in Pickens Specimens of wool of
his raising were transmitted to of the largest
facturers Of New England who pronounced most favor
able judgment them and rated them at the top of the
market The Mrcury attaches no slight importance to
the introductonof woolgrowing in the upper districts
which, properly followed up, will prove source of
wealth to that prt of the State.

At the late Wing Convention at Syracuse po-
lltical zealot offered resolution "taking radical
ground against the fugitive slave law" but he was
Kissed down and obliged to withdraw his resolution.
Served him right He should move this way and
help the little band of Southern malcontent Wings
who are tryingto break up the national party to
form sectional one To that sage and patriotic
Clique, however, we beg to commend study of the
fable of the fly on the coach wheel, and, after having
dgested the wisdom of that short lesson to read and
endeavor to mbibe the spirit of the following, al
most as short, which has just met our eye:
The DIsINTEGRATIoN OF THE WING PARTY"
We hear great deal in the Democratic papers of
9 the breaking up Of the Wing party" the g disin-
tegraion Of the Wing party" with similar express
SONS Some OF these papers write long homies
on the topic, which are designed to show, if any
one has the patience to wade through the muddy
swamp of their stupidity, that the Wings are dead
and buried, past the hope of resurrection and that
every principle under which they once rallied has
become obsolete. Let such prosy writer's remem-
Der that Eve bide our time" Our principles are
as valuable as when heralded to battle by CLAY or
supported by the thunders of WEBsTER's eloquence
They have been defeated, but not annihilated The
encouragement of American industry and the sup
port OF American improvements will yet be the
policy Of the nation. They will yet float on the
banners of victorious party from the Capitol at
Washington.
For a I" dead and buried party" the Wings have
lately shown some most remarkable signs of vi
tally There have been struggles lately that are
marvellous, if they the mere spasmodic actions
of a galvanized body. They certainly show some
indications of life and energy We are afraid that
the Democrats will see more of them before the
autumn campaigns are over Conn. Couraat

Hon. HENRY A. WISE in long letter in reply
to one from Northern Clergyman, reviews the
whole question of African slavery and its effects
upon the South He thinks it was great mistake
not to have made California Slave State and that
glorious opportunity was lost of Riding Virginia,
North Carolina, and other slave States of slavery
He thinks the mines might have been worked ad-
vantageously by slave labor. He says that to have
allowed the gold mines of California +" to be worked
by slaves would have produced marked revolu-
ton. Every cornfeld in Virginia and North Caro-
lima, in Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee; and Ken
lucky, would have been emptied of black laborers,
and | doubt whether many slaves would have been
left to work the cotton and estates of the other
Southern plantations" And this, he says, would
have weakened the federal strength of slavery in
the Union, and led to the emancipation of the
slaves taken to California. He discusses the whole
subject with characteristic fervor and eloquence The
Buffalo Advertiser remarks on this part Of Mr..
WIsEs letter that there was nothing to hinder the
Southern planters from making California slave
State if they lad chosen to do so, as there was
nothing to prevent them from taking their slaves
thither The gold was discovered in 1S4S, and the
State Government was not formed until two years
thereafter. Even after the adoption Of the consti
tuition prohibiting slavery slaves were taken to
California and worked with great profit in the
mines 1t is but a few months since steamship
from San Juan to New Orleans carried up twelve or
fifteen slaves, together with their master, on their
return from California to Georgia. and the Adyer-
tiser adds to this circumstance the following inter-
esting story: .....-
These slaves taken out to California by their
master in the spring of $780, and practicable
after their arrival in San Francisco started for the gold
Mines where they labored faithfully, the proceeds of
their labor rendering the owner wealthy. When they

THE INDIANS.

The condition of the Ottoe and Missouri Indians is in
deed deporabe at the present time Government having
neglected to comply with treaty spulatons those tribes
suffering from the cravings of hunger and have
commenced ravaging the gardens and pundering the
whites soournng in Nebraska of every thing they
put their hands upon The whites there have all
complied with the demand first made by the Indians and
have each paid ten dollars, which to
them from molestation. The Indians, when upbraided
for their breach Of faith state that their Great Father
has broken his pledge to them, and they compelled
by hunger to break their faith with the emigrants.
Fremont County (iopd) Gazette
The policy that Government is present pursuing
toward the Indian tribes must inevitably lead to
tremendous outbreak of which murder and rapine viii
be the prominent features Hemmed in these people
by the white population with their hunting grounds
ton of wrongs these children of the deso- i~opirod
with the fury Of desperation, will turn their oppres
sors and although they may perish in the struggle, will
leave but few living foes to glory in their fall.
The people of the United States have had sufficient
warning of the dangers with which the whole Western
frontier is threatened and unless Congress meets the
occasion by prompt efficient and enlightened legislation
the responsibility for the blood Of those who will fall VIC
tins to the violence Of Indian warfare in that quarter
will rest on the heads of those whose duty it is to avert
this approaching calamity. May not hope that Con-
gress will devote sufficient time to mature plan by
which the peace Of the Western frontier can be preserved
and at the time these tribes be saved from utter
termination Let one thoroughly imbued with the
enthusiasm that the importance of the subject ought
arouse take hold Of this subject and carry successfully
through Congress- and he will thus build up for himself
more enduring fame than that Of oil the political trick
sers of the present day combined.-Louisre Journal

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

As an incident which has caused as much merri-
ment on one side as indignation on the other in
Jour community, we give from one of our city De-
nacratic journals (the Globe) an account of the
attempted Democratic meeting at CarusIs on We'd
nesday evening, presuming that the statement is
substantially correct. 1t may have been an indis-
erection or nalyertence invite the presence at this
meeting of citizens Of all creeds and parties
Our Democratic feRow-citizens held another meet
ing on Friday evening A sketch of its proceed
ings, by our own Reporter, will be found on sue
ceeding page
We had occasion week o. two ago to express
our disapproval of this sort of injustice in the al
legged case of the interruption of Senator DOUGLAS
at Chicago, which, however, we have been glad to
find was much exaggerated. We consider the course
subsequently adopted at another meeting in Illinois
much less exceptionable. At the town of Morris,
in Grundy county, the Senator met his friends in
public assembly and addressed them at large and
uninterruptedly in defence of the Nebraska bill.
After he had concluded and the meeting had adj
journed, another meeting was forthwith organized
by those opposed to the bill, and series of excel
lent resolutions unanimously adopted, the first of
which, with the preamble, were as follows:
WHEREAS the unhappy differences existing between the
Northern and Southern portions Of the Union upon the
subject Of slavery had happily been adjusted to the salts
faction OF both sections of the country and of both the
great political parties of the day. by the compromise
1920 known as the Missouri Compromise, and that Of
1850 known the Fugitive Slave Law and whereas the
country was enjoying quiet and repose from the agitation
of this most exciting subject since the act Of 1885, until
the question again precpitated upon the country by
the introduction Of the unexpected mischevous, and
calledor known the Nebraska bill before the
Congress Of the United States at its last session There
fore be it
Resolved That we, the people Of the county Of Grundy
most unhesatingy and unquaifedly condemn the intro
ducton of that measure breach of the compact be-
tween the South and the North upon the question of sla
very as reputation Of the principles of the platforms
of both the great political parties Of the day. which
has again disturbed the quiet peace and harmony Of the
country and has called again into action the elements Of
discord and disunon between and Southern bre
hren calculated leopard the future existence
of this country as free republic.
