HERE Is PICTURE drawn from life by 3
Columbia correspondent OF the New York
World: ''Passing up from Charleston, and
looking out on the right Of the road, between
Kingvile and this plsca, there is an immense
clearing, which few years ago was under
splendid cultivation, and, at this season of the
year, white with cotton, with hundreds Of
hands busily employed. 1t is now growing in
weeds, and has no fencing, and, indeed, pre-
sents no sign Of life. As the train rushed
along, solitary negro man was seen standing
in the open fiel he was very tall, hatless,
shoeless, and the only garment he were was q
loose cotton shirt reaching to his knees-a
style OF dress, or absence of dress which, how
ever common formerly among the little negroes
on the large plantations, was never known
among the adults. This tall, coal-black negro,
in state o. almost nudity, had over his shoul-
der long fshing-rod, and presented strik-
ing and suggestive t16leau as he stood looking
at the flying train, with miles OF once fertile
but now unculivated lands lying all around
him-lands lying fallow for the want of just
such labor. In thous ,nds Of instances like
this, emancipation and the Bureau have con-
verted useful tlllers of the soil into idle,
vicious vagrants, who are rapidly going back
to barbarism, and must become baneful
curse to the country"

DISTURBANCES AT ADAMS RuN.-The follow

DISTURBANCES AT ADAMS RUN.-The follow
ing communication is vouched for by three re-
spectacle gentlemen:
ADAMS Run, September 8.
Mfr. EdIor-The quiet of this parish has
been broken by meeting held near this place
on the 29th ult., which was addressed by Capt.
J. W. Grace and J. S. Craig. Captain Grace
holds, he says, the Office Of magistrate; and
this, added to the machinery of the League.
causes the deluded freedmen to consider them
selves his abject slaves. 1t was no surprise,
therefore, to hear them state that they were
60 dered" to assemble. Finding upon this oc-
casion that politics alone did not interest their
audience, these orators painted for them
dIabolcal picture Of their condition should the
Democrats succeed. Craig stated that if the
Republicans we're Defeated, he must leave the
cou 1try or be hung to the nearest black jack.
Capt. Grace was more jovial, and promised
supply of whskey at future meeting
AS result OF these harangues labor strikes
have begun, and the lives OF foremen report
ing misconduct to their employers are threat
ened. Some OF the most sensible OF the freed
Eisa seemed quito relieved when informed that
the Democrats are not such demons as depict
ed; but others of them in this vicinity are go
excited that the desire is expressed openly,
even amongst their women, TO "shoot every
rebel and Democrat from the face OF the
earth" ST. PAUL'S.

CHH LESION ENTERPEIsE.-The various ar
gumeI.ts in favor Of Charleston as q market for
South ,rn merchants in preference to New York
and other Northern cities, have often been pre-
sented to the public, but perhaps never in so
succinct and attractive q form as in the circu-
lar which Messrs. John s. Fairly & Co. have
prefxed to the catalogue which they are now
sending to their customers in Georgia, North
and South Carolina and Florida. We may re-
publish this argument at some future time, but
notice it at present moro particularly for the
purpose Of calling attention to the manner in
which the catalogue and circular are printed.
They are gotten up in neat pamphlet form BY
Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswel, whose i'm
print, ever guarantee Of excellence, is on this
catalogue, as fine an advertisement for their
extensive job printing establishment as the
catalogue is for Messrs. John s. Fairly d Co.
The catalogue tells the world that Messrs. John
8. Fairly & Co. have on hand an extensive as
sortment of white goods, hosiery, gloves and
fancy goods but the pamphlet proves by its
typographical appearance that the job printing
Office of Messrs. Walker. Evans & Cogswell is
complete both as to the extent and quality Of
material and the number and skill OF the work
men. astrs> - - 'f.,-

TIE PALMETTO PIONEER COOPERATIVE AS
soo1Ar1oN.-A few facts concerning the history
and prospects Of this experiment, In social
economy, are worthy Of note. AS the result
Of last quarters business, the actual dividend
upon the amount invested in supplies, and
that paid towards the permanent fund, at once
establish the claims Of the Association upon
every student Of economy and thrift. There
exists an almost absolute guarantee that the
saving yearly upon expenditures Tor suppnes
will reach fifteen per cent. and the interest on
permanent investments six per cent. Ihe
conditions Of membership are tie payment
Of one dollar on entrance, ard the regular
weekly payment thereafter Of like amount.
A few shares in the Association are still un-
sold, and can be subscribed for at the store

COMMERCIAL CmcULAR.-Messrs. Willis d
Chisolm, Of our city, have favored US with a
copy Of their Crop Circular, dated the 9TH inst.
It appears to be fair and moderate view Of
the situation and prospective yield Of the pre-
sent growing crop, in which they estimate the
probable receipts at the ports at 2,1S5,OOO
bales. The coming crop OF sea Islands and
Floridas they think will produce about 1000
bags, and the rice crop of Carolina and Geor-
gia some $4,000 tierces. They take hopeful
view OF affairs While the labor has improved,
by more extended experience and less inter
ference from outside advisers, the position Of
the planter is strengthened by good pro-
vision crop, and in many cases by having
struggled through the year without having OBJ
tanned single large advance.

COTTON IN FLoRDA.-Accounts from various
parts of Florida represent the cotton crop as
being irretrievably ruined by the caterpillar,
and the yield will be less than last year. The
following is an extract from q letter received by
a factor of this city:
Houston, COLUMBIA Co., FLORIDA,
September S, 1868.
Cotton in this and adjoining counties is hope
lesslV ruined by the caterpillar, not leaf left,
and ali the top bolls eaten up in some fields
ali more or less injured. There can be no doubt
AZ to the result in this vicinity-a half crop as
compared with last years crop, is the utmost
limit.
In some places the fields look like fire had
passed through them.
% Accounts from adjoining counties are nearly
as bad.
