United Statcs Senator.

Mr., EDITOR It is generally under
stood that his ExceIlency 5. F. Per-
ry, will be assigned to this distin-
gulshed post of honor and usefulness.
No one is better qualified than lE, or
can carry with him a more fitting re-
cord, to give the State that influence
in the Federal councils, which will
secure to the people an early and
complete restoration to all their
rights in the Union. Such is the
general sentiment; and it only re-
mains for the General Assembly,
which is soon to be convened, to carry
out this sentiment by an appoint
ment which viii do justice to we'll
tried public servant, and at the same
time avail itself of the very great in
fuence which he is known to possess,

The Masonic Brotherhood.

The Masons are to have a general
convention, sometime in the month of
October, in the State OF Kentucky.
The object of this. convention is to
restore and re-invigorate their bones
OF brotherhood, which the late civil
war had threatened, if not impaired
and ruptured. Generally speaking.
the Masons have been everywhere
true to each other-so true and stead
fast that, in some instances. in this
State, they have incurred the seyerest
censures of persons not of the craft.
for the kindness which they showed
to the prisoners, members of the
craft, who had been made captives.
To them they had furnished money,
food, nourishment, clothes, and had
even SO far prevailed with the keep

Cultivation of Cotton.

The New York Times has an article
upon the producing of cotton. Cot
ton, though not king. thinks the
Times, is magnate Of the first rank.
Other lands can produce wheat, corn,
tobacco and agricultural productions
of that class as well as ours. The
world is dependent upon us only to a
limited extent for such articles. With
out cotton, however, gold, the life
blood Of our currency must b con-
tinually drained away to foreigners
The most serious difficulty in bring
ing back cotton to the production of
five millions of bales as before the
war. is the question of labor. It is
doubtful whether the negroes will
ever contract Industrious habits, as
freedmen, which will make good the
amount of labor forced out of them
under the old system. If we rely
upon emancipation to restore soon
tho old cotton. crop realized by slave
ry, we shall certainly be disappointed.
Northern and European lnborers must
be encouraged to become tillers of
Southern soil. The non -slaveholdine
Germans of Texas long ago proved
that Southern cotton raising is no
greater tax upon the white mans con-
stitution than Northern corn raising.
The pretence that white men cannot
work in the cotton field has exploded.
The great agent for the agricultural
restoration of the South, however,
ought to be labor-saving machines.
1t is well-known fact labor-saving
farm implements enable farmers of the
Northwest to accomplish three times
the amount of labor that they can
without them. They have been the
cause of the agricultural prosperity of
the West. These implements are ap-
picable, good judges say, to the
planting and cultivation of cotton i'm
every stage up to the picking, which
must be done by hand

Organization Of tho Militia.

Organization Of tho Militia.
We assume that the Convention has
accorded, or will accord, that degree
of consideration to the military Or
ganization of this State, as will leave
sufficient latitude to the action OF the
Legislature. That the citizens be-
tween eighteen and forty-fve should
be duly organized, efficiently, and
under efficient officers, throughout
all the beats in the country, is the
first necessity, and the one which, if
properly met, will relieve Us almost
wholly from theapresencc of regular
garrisons. These, even now, are
wholly unnecessary in all of the up
per and most of the middle Districts.
They viii need, however, TO be re-
tanned in considerable number along
the sea coast, and in all those pre-
cincts where the negroes have been
largely congregated, md where the
resident white population. is small
This will be equally necessary for the
promotion. of order and labor, and
the maintenance of the public peace
and security. Our militia, properly
organized, viii prove quite adequate to
these objects in all other quarters It
will be within their power, or in most
OF them, to organize strong militia
force which, the experience of the
last four years will have accomplished
In the use Of arms, the drill and the
general knowledge which is needful
for the soldier. And the militia will
now be able to choose their officers
with judgment, from able and eff
fcient leaders, who have already
distinguished themselves in every
branch of the service. Under their
conduct and tuition there need
to be no falling back to that corn
stalk captaincy and ridiculous drill,
which made the militia % laughing
stock to sensible eyes. And we shall
escape the nuisance of al that cIaas
of popinjay and holiday officers, who
sported fine feathers and branaished
gittering swords, and made them
selves gay in crimson sashes only for
ballroom purposes and as carpet
knights. Our youths, for the next
thirty years, will be capable Of going
into camp or entering upon q cam
paign with a sufficient knowledge of
what has to be done without need of
the corporal to adjust hands and toes,
and indicate the bearings of right
and left, and so forth The most i'm
portant. arm of the service, for some
time to come, will be the cavalry, and
the State should confer privileges and
hold ut'inducements.t all those who
are willing to enter this service and
can provide their own. horses. In
towns and cities preference should
be given to artillery. A town like
Columbia should have at least two
companies of artillery, two being bet
ter than one, if only for the purposes
of bringing into activity a soldierly
emulation and generous rivalry
which will constantly stimulate to i'm
provement. The sooner these Or
CARNATIONS shall be made the better

raj officers, at least, Will be reserved

temporary release from their cells,
that they might assemble with the
brethren at the several meetings of
the lodges. They can properly claim,
accordingly, to. be among those
classes who, steadfast to the faith,
superior to the events of war, have
maintained the interests,o of humanity
and civilization, unaffected by politics
or strife. It becomes them to use
the instrumentality of. their wide
spread and powerful organization, to
do all in their power to restore the
ties Of tho brotherhood, to repair the
bonds of the temple, and to show
themselves ministers Of peace and
harmony, Us they have been Of hu-
manity. There is yet another impor-
tant reason for this movement. It
appears, from communications made
by Masons of tho Northern armies.
while in the South, that pains had
been taken to disseminate among them
the idea that the Southern Masons
had, like the several church organi-
cations, broken off from all connec-
ton with the Northern lodges, and
refused any longer to fraternize with
them-an idea which is wholly incon-
sistent with the first principles of Free
Masonry, which is no mora affected in
its laws by the conflict Of arms than
they would be by the prevalence of a
thunder storm. But we do not pro
pose to write an essay, but simply to
express our concurrence with the
course adopted by our Grand Master
OF. South Carolina, who, as it will be
seen by the following correspondence,
has determined that the brotherhood
of the State shall be represented in
the Kentucky Convention, and who
has made the most judicioas appoint
ment of the brother, Henry Buist,
one of the brightest of Southern
Masons, who combines with the &C
QUESTIONS of a highly taught and ex-
perienced Mason, the fine qualities
OF the courtly gentleman, with the
