GENERAL WADE HAMPTON.

In the course of speech delivered at
Walhalla, s. c., on the 22dult., the following
remarks fell from the lips of General Wade
Hampton: sd. I
alt is full time that some voice from the
South should be ra ised to declare, that
though conquered she is not humiliated; !;
though she submits she is not degraded that
she has not lost her se;f-respect that she
laid down her arms on honorable terms that
she has observed these terms with the mos
perfect faith, and that she has right to de-
mand like observance of them on the part
of the North. " ..
" In. the anamolous condition in which we
areplaced, it is a matter of great difficulty
to mark out the proper course for us to pur-
sue; but there are certain cardinal principles
of which we should never lose sight. The
first of these is that, as we accepted the
terms offered us by the North in good faith,
we are bound by every dictate of honor, to
abide by them fully and honestly. They
are none the less binding on US, because the
dominant and anscrupulous party at the
North refuses TO accord 10 US our Just rights.
Let us, at least, prove ourselves worthy of
the rights we claim let us set an example
of good faith, and we can then appeal with
better effect to the justice and magnanimity
of the North.
"Of all the inconsistencies Of which the
North has been guilty-and their name is
legion--none is greater than that by which
she forced the Southern States, while rigidly
excluding them from the Union, to ratify
the constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery, which they could do legally only as
States Of the Union. But the deed has been
done, and for one do honestly declare that
| never wish to sec 1t revoked. Nor do
believe that the people of the South would
now remand the negro to slavery If they
had the power to do so unquestioned."

THE CROPS OF 1866.
The Report or the Commissioner of
Agriculture. fe gdi


The monthly report of the Commissioner
OF Agriculture says the returns of the local
correspondents up 10 the LIST of October ver-
ify, in all essent al particulars tie state
ments respecting the crops contained in pre-
vious monthly exhibitions. The condition of
corn has suffered some deterioration from
early fros,s and excessive rains, hut crops are
larger than the largest ever previously chron-
icled In The country. In the production Of
wheat, next TO corn, or the most important
cereal, our agriculture has been unfortunate
for the present year, now nearly complete
The yield will not vary much from one hun
dred and fbrty-three million of bushels,
showing a small per centage of decrease,
which is fully compensated by the compare
lively superior quality of the grain.
As was predicted in previous number.
this is 100000 bushels more than the
crop Of 1859, and is within 5000, 900 bush
els OF product in proportion TO the ncreas-
ed population. Tn diminution in the South
is more apparent. The estimates point to
less than 1900, 900 bushels in the eleven
States heretofore unrepresented, a fraction
less than fve-tenths of the crop of 1850
1t is worthy Of remark in connection with
the diminution of the three past seasons,
that the wheat crop Of England has been
likewise deficient since 1864. The Califor-
MIA wheat crop, of which little note has been
publicly made in connection with the pres
ent crop, is excessive. In 1860 the produc-
tion of thisyoung State was nearly 6,00O, 900
bushels. Now it Is claimed by the leading
California Agriculturists that the surplus for
export will nearly double that quantity.
II is evident that the entire wheat crop
will exceed by several millions that of 1859,
when the yield was reported at l73, lO4,92
bushels. There were Eve and half bushels |
to each individual. In 1886 the estimates
point to Eve bushels to each inhabtant.-
There is no ground then for apprehensions
Of scarcity and little excuse in the amount
of the crop for starvation prices. IN
The yield Of oats is extraordinary and the |
quality is excellent. The indications point |
to increase from Ill ,492, ,072 bushels In 1859 |
to 27l ,9l2,695 bushels in 1866. II Is the |
only crop in the South that maintains an |
equality with It's last census exhibit Hay |
in less quantity than in the previous year by |
TO two-tenths, but is better in |
quality. An analysis Of the Southern re- |
turns up to Oct lst does not warrant re- |
duction of the former cotton estimate much |
below l 1906 bales, though it is too ear
ly for small estimates. The certainty of the
damage from insects is reported as increas-
ing.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.
The following truthful article is taken
rom one of the ablest papers in the countrv /.


The following truthful article is taker
from one of the ablest papers in the country
Our duty Is too often overlooked. Go
into one half Of the houses of the country,
and there will be found New York newspa.
pers, and Philadelphia Magazines and for
eign literature Of every kind while news
papers interested in advocating the interests
OF the State, and their own country, not one
can be found. This is grossly unjust. If a
man has five dollars year, ten cents week
to spend for information and literature for
his family, his duty as a citizen is to take
bis own State and county paper. Let him
imagine, II he can, what bis State would be
without paper within her borders, and then
ask himself what he is doing for their sup
port.
But some excuse themselves for taking a
metropolitan paper, on the ground that they
contain more reading matter than those
published at home. True enough--simply
for the reason that they are supported. Ev-
cry dollar sent to foreign newspaper by u
citizen who takes no local paper, builds up
that foreign paper at the expense not only
OF his own local paper, but the interests of
his own State and county. if
We do not ask this for the local press as
matter of charity, but of justice. A good
paper can do more good for a town than any
town can do for a paper. But few appre-
ciate the local press as they ought. They
overlook the fact that Its conductors are the
most self-sacrifcing men in the country.
From one years end to another they devote
their talents and energies to the building up
of their localities, even to the neglect Of
their own pecuniary interests.
Yet the local press is sneered at, and given
the cold shoulder, forgetting that the little
pebble is os necessary for making the noun
tain as the bold or huge mass of granite.
The local press holds as important position
rs the rill does to the river which goes
oceanward. II is bad policy to star We them
to- death, as it would be for the mouth of
the stream to damn up the fountains from
which it obtains its supply.
The interests Of the city press and the
local press are indcntical, and they should be
alike, as each has its work to per-
form in its peculiar province. The con1uc-
tors Of the country press may sometimes
err in judgment, or fail to carry out their
plans to the fullest extent-but the metro
politan press is open to the same charge
We repeat, that it is the first duty of every
mana duty that is imperative-to sustain
ais local press with liberal hand, and not
% let it languish for want of that support

FALLING LEAVES.

m fall, ual. .-4...fr g. u
One by one on the sward no longer green:
In glen, in shady wood, in forest tall;
ALI day long they drop in their gaudy

And some arc rosy as an evening sky;
Some have coat which night hath be-.

Some float gaily on the winding river;
On its broad bosom they sail toward the

And voiceless pass away from wood and

How they fall when the Night-wind passes

All hooded in mantle Of sombre hue:

The smile Of star above 1t beam ing.
Many glide away on the aephyr's wings,
And wander afar to wither and fade
Perhaps to some cline where the nightin-
gale sings, nh i
And tho warrior woos his dark-eyed maid.
But, there are fallen leaves other than those
Which drop from the tree and shrub and

Where Tenderness and Joy spake in

The memory Of their love must now be-

The weary hours, where all is sad and lone.

And to our hearts, as ever, are dear;
Affection can there her sweet offerings give,
AnR Love lay its boon of the silent tear.

that we trust harmony between different de-

three weeks, has put the farmers in fine spir-

on them to make some admission aBout' their
crops, that are quite consoing to the hungry
folks, who are dependent upon them fbf
bread. The corn cropis turning out very
good. The only matter Of regret is that so
little was planted. This Was a great errBf
on the part of our farmers, an error N seams
impossible to talk of with them. The Hay
crop was magnificent, and the oats, wherever
'sown, yielded abu.idantly, 90 that foi man

was very poor, hence the crop Is very light;
not sufficient for the home demand even.-
