South Carolina Agriculture.

The Columbia Times, in an article which
we copy with si@ccre pleasure, enters into
manly protest against Il prevailing disposition
to deprecia.e the condition OF agriculture in
our Slate. We endorse every word Of our co
temporary. S"n,h Carolina is moi behind any
one Of her Sister States If the South in agr-
cultural improvements; more: it may be said
that neatly every grc't Improvement in the
agriculture Of the South, saving what concerns
the culture Of sugar aud tobacco, has originated
in our State. This is the parcn, State Of the
culture Of the sweet potato, Of cotton, which
has become the greatest element Of commerce
and the greatest hcneiartion 10 the human race ;
OF the Sea Island cotton. our product OF which
has dcfird the competition Of all the world; Of
rice, which feeds half the world, and which we
alone have learned the aItNf bringing to per
fcclion.
South Caroiinians ought to be proud of the
agriculture of their native State. 1t stands
eminent and defying competition. What is
there in the agriculture Of the North that will
bear moments comparison with the system
attic and scientific character of our rice culture!
What is there even TO compare with the deli
cate and ncessant waichfulness that surrounds
our culture of Sea Island cotton?
The truth is, that The Southern planters are
the most intelligent body Of men taken as
whole, that ever worried the bosom of mother
Garth; and the reason why they are not rcc"g
uiscd as such is that they have kert quiet, have
contcnted themselves with monopolizng the
markets of the world for whatever production
it pleased them to turn their labor 10, and have
left it TO others to brag and fume, to make
flaming reports on pigs, aud calves, and gar.
dens, while they are content with whitening the
ocean with the sails that waited their products,
and thought that the Office of clothing the
whole human race relieved them from all OBJ
ligaliou to contest for the best specimen OF lace
or the fre>hes, ingcruity in gcwgaws.
We believe that the agriculture of South
Carolina, so enn"bled by its past achievements,
has in itself all the elements of noble pro
gress and it is the duty Of her sons 10 speak
with the language uf proud hope of her future,
rs The iufmeut Of her past. We have no cause
to despond; and the assembling Of the recent
State Agricultural Society is IL capital proof
that the heart of the State ever beats warmly
toward her great interest. 1t is in fact, The
State; and when it rerishcs, there will be moth
lug left for ,l!e old-iine patriotism t" defend.

won't do=he facts Of the case arc there, and they
stand out at every point to contradict tho confident
announcements Of certain class Of peace makers who
affirm that the country safe and there is no need of

T There would he no need OF alarm, If the South
would only consent to unite for its own protection but
this seems like hoping against hope for as long as men
are allowed to occupy place and power, and lead, who
shut their eyes wifny to the dangers that threaten
how can be otherwise? the lust for power has grown
cor2ulen and excessive and moderate expectations
will not suffice to satisfy those who look to national
honors "to laurel.crown them in the future"
Is there indeed "repose" and "seeurity upon the
slavery question" in Missouri? Why that pcessant
war upon its borders between conflicting parties, each
striving for Tho ascendancy? Why is it that the gallant
Missourians are obliged to enforce the mandates Of the
law at the point of the bowie knife and with revolver
in hand? Because there is no "repose," no "securi
ty' to them whilst swarning negro plunderers have
the privilege under statutory legislation" of skuk

"higher law" may rob and murder them. Missouri

vexed issue is to be fought As surely as we live in
opinon this question must be determined; if the
South allows that occasion TO pass by unimproved.
without asserting and maintaining her rights then, we

the rule of absolute consolidation and then, we shall

We believe with our respected cotemp,rary, the
Yorkve Enquirer, that the time is not far distant
when issues will be presented tous demanding impera
