pine lands contiguous to the plantations; these,
though but short distance from the fields, are
perfectly healthy, and, beyond an occasional shake
and little fever, sickness is unknown.
A great nuisance has been the presence on the
rivers Of trading boats; these come from George
town and Charleston, and trade with the negroes
for the stolen provisions. The planters bore with
the imposition for long time, but at length re-
presented the case to the United States authori"
ties, who have taken prompt action on the matter.
Stringent orders were published in the George
and allowing tue watchman on the place Q arrest
them by any means in his power. In addition to
this, the planters have come out with a card,
warning these characters to steer clear, or they
will be damaged.
From statistics that have been carefully collect
ed, and kindly furnished by Hon. B. H. Wilson
and Mr.. Sidney s. Fraser, it appears that the rice
lands Of Georgetown and Charleston Districts are
as follows:

There were IL 01 acres planted this year. of which

averaging each terce at % bushels Of rough rice.
little more than one-fourth of the rice land has
been planted, and in consequences OF the failure of
the negroes TO work it properly, but little more

ton of the planters is fully realized mot more

All the Decency.

In the Radical Convention in Philadelphia on
Thursday last the following scenes occurred,
which cannot fail to shock the moral sense OF
every risht-thinking man in the country: -
Mr.. Hamilton, Of Texas, read the dispatch in
yesterdays papers relating to the Presidents
visit to the Northwest. On reading that part of
Mr.. Seward's speech, and inquiring whether the
audience desired Mr.. johnson for King or Presi-
dent loud cries OF ''Nary one" were heard from all
parts of the Convention.
Delegate.-No, sir; we'd see Andy johnson
365 degrees into hell, with Bill Seward and Mont
gomery Blair on top Of him. first.
Parson BRowNLow gave utterance to these dis
gustng remarks:
Some gentlemen not through any unkmd feel
ing toward me, but through a mistaken apprecia-
tion of my motives, has said that we were afraid
of the negro-suffrage question and sought to
dodge it. Why, should feel disgraced now and
forever if felt doubtful on any subject OF ma
tional concern. never was claimed on both sides
Of any question, and never intend to be. While am
satisfied with what has been done, an, the advo-
cate Of negro suffrage and Of impartial suffrage.
