The NOMINATION FOR ALDERMAN OF WARD
No. 4.-On Friday last the Executive Commit
tee of the Citizens Party received letter from
General John A. Wagner, in which that gen.
tleman informed them that it was impossible
for him, on account of official duties and en-
galenents, to serve as Alderman Of Charles

by the party. The committee maturely con-
sidcred the matter, and on Saturday, the fol-
lowing letter was presented to General Wage.

CHARLESTON, November 7th, 1868.
General John 4, Wagener, Charleston:

The Executive Committee regret exceedingly
that you cannot serve as Alderman OF Ward

the privilege you accord them OF allowing your
name to remain upon the ticket until after the
election, but you state distinctly that if elect
cd you would be compelled to decline qualify
ing, whlch would render it necessary to hold
new election to fill the vacancy.
This course would involve the city in all ex-
pense equal to the expense of general elcc-
ton for Mayor and Aldermen, for all the polls
would have to be opened for such an. e'e,tion.
The committee feel that they have no right to
impose such on expense upon the city, and,
therefore, accept your letter declining the po-
stion, and will proceed to fill the vacancy ~
once.
We beg leave to tender YOU, on behalf of the
Executive Committee, an expression OF their
sincere regret that You should feel constrained
to declluo the nomination.
Your past record is sufficient proof that you
would not decline serving your fcllow-ctlZa ms
in any capacity if it were in your power to do

With our best wishes for your future Wei

would be by no means reasonable and pru-
| dent to count on for practical purposes, a
radical change in the agriculture of the cotton
| growing districts of the South must be looked
| for. And this change will be fatal to the hope
entertained in the West that the South may
| yet become what it formerly was, the best
market for the Western farmers. Cotton was
produced probably on large plantations at
nine or ten cents per pound with slave labor;
but it is demonstrated to be a losing business
| to cultivate it at fifteen cents per pound with
feedman labor. Under the old system planters
| could not afford to raise much else than cotton
and depend upon the West for almost all their
meat and bread, and working stock. But now
they have arrived at the necessity of reversing
this order of things. They must produce at
home what the Western farmers once sup
piled, and in doing so will, in many instances,
realize surplus of such products, and thus
not only become Independent of the Western
farmers, but enter into competition with them
in the grain, meat and livestock markets
Some cotton, to be sure, will be produced But
1t Will be an incident rather than the main
object, of the annual operations of the plan
ter, no longer planter in the old sense, but
a farmer in the widest significance of the
word. 1t must follow that cotton, raised in
such circumstances, will be profitable crop;
otherwise it would not be made The substi-
tuition of the farming system for the old
planting system, would also multiply agri-
cultural proprietors; and this fact, in a social
point of view, and perhaps in a commercial
point of view, would amply compensate the
South for the decrease in the amount of its
cotton production. 1t is better. from q
variety of considerations, that thirty men
making for themselves ten or twenty bales a
piece, or an aggregate of five hundred bales,
should take the place of five men making
for themselves two hundred bales piece, or
an aggregate of one thousand bales. 1t is
hardly too much to say that the producers
of the five hundred bales would contribute
five hundred per cent. more to the social de- |
velOpment and distributive wealth of the |
South than the producers of the one thousand |
bales.

METAIRIE COURsE- TO-ddy's Rdce.-The three
mile race, today, over the renowned Metairie
Course, promises to be Of unusual interest The
purse is a very heavy one-sl000, and worthy Of
a desperate struggle between the contending
horses. There are two entries-the Oh. f. Mary
Wynn, by Jack Malone, dam Parthenia by imp.
Leviathan; and the oh. h. Veto, dam Levity by
imp. Trustee. If no rain should fall before the
race comes of, the track will be in excellent con.
dtion and fast time may be expected.
So far the winter meeting has been a most it,
teresting and exciting one, and the club deserve
the high encomiums of all lovers of the turf. We
hope that even a still more numerous attendance
than yesterdays will be on the ground during to-
days race.

one look at General Blair. Her son. who
was member of the Seventeenth Corps,
fell in the celebrated march from Atlanta
to the sea, intelligence of which she re-
ceived in letter from the General, telling
her how bravely he fought and how nobly
he fell. When General Blair was pointed
out to her on the stand, her old eyes run
over with tears. and she declared that she
had realized the dearest hope of her old
age; she had seen the gallant officer under
whose leadership her last born had fought
