Cotton Blooms and Mediterranean
Wheat

George Morgan, worthy and enterpriaing freed.
man, manager on Gov. PIcKEss's plantation,
sends us some cotton blooms, picked on Saturday
goth inst. George knows this'is not carly by any
means for cotton blooms, but thinks that It will
edo pretty well for this very backward ssason."
And also sample of a new-fangled sort of
Whcat-the Mediterranean. This wheat is won
derfully fine, and really worth stepping into our
Office to look at.
And George gives us some information concern
ing his cotton crop, which, as We consider il ap-
plicable to oil tho cotton in this neighborbood,
here record: That it is not very forward, but
mighty even and healthy, and, with favorable
weather in July and August, promise, to turn out
a great success.
On. Sunday last after q long drought in our
town and round about, the rain came dashing and
splashing from the clouds in the most liberal and
enchanting manner. Everything is refreshed and
exultant and We hope that others, besides George
Morgan. will soon begin to send us samples Of
thor industry and prosperity.

Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives the following, telegraphed on
Sunday night:
Reverdy johnson called on the President
yesterday and accepted the position Of Minis
ter to England, and informed the President
that he will be ready to depart as soon as his
instructions shall have been prepared. The
President replied that the Secretary of State
is absent, but that as soon as he returns the
Minister'S instructions shall be prepared. Pnis
will require some days, as they will embody
full and ample authority to adjust the long
pending Alabama claims. 1t is understood
to be the intention of our government to
bring about q speedy settlement Of the ques-
tions at issue, and that is the principal reason
for sending Mr.. Johnson to England at this
time. The plan which our government will
propose, it is thought, will be acceptable to
the English Government.

Aiken On Dts.

From recent letter from an enterprisipg and
wide-awake Aiken friend We gather the annexed
items, and are much obliged to him for his thought
fu. courtesy:
It's estim ated that the Peach crop of this
vicinity will realize this year at least Sl5O 900.
Pretty good, is it not, for superaui'ys The
Orchardists are now quite busy making their
preparations for shipment,-as the earliest varie-
ties are beginning to ripen.
Several shipments of carly Apples have already
been made.
Tho Grape crop is also quite promising; more
so than for several years.
Whoa. has turned out well, and the Corn bids
fair to yield generous return for the labor ex-
pended.
Generally speaking, the Freedmen ere working
better than heretofore.
understand that preparations are being made
for commencing work again at the Kalmia Mills
It is in contemplation by party of Northern
Capitalists, to erect very large Hotel or Sanato-
rum for Consumptives in Aiken, us it is evident
that such an establishment, properly conducted
would prove not only beneficial to invalids, but
most remunerativo to thesprojectors of the scheme

The Southern Home Journal.

In point of merit (,ruly says the Baltimore
Daily Commercially this paper is equal-in typo
graphy it is far superior-to any of the Northern
publications of the same class; 1t is rapidly
growing into popular favor, md bids fair soon to
outstrip many of its competitors. When We take
into consideration the short time that it has been
in existence the immense circulation which it has
already attained is really astonishing. The pro-
prietor deserves tho unbounded support of the
people of Baltimore for the energy with which he
has pushed this enterprise to success in the short
space of six months. 1t is paper of which Bal
timore may justly be proud, and will be pointed
to in aftor ysars as IN instance of the success of
Southern enterprises whom properly managed.
This weeks issue contains the first chapter of o
new story, entitled the "MAsTER OF BEVERLEY /;
or, The vilainous Plot" by James Hungerford,

For the Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR II see it stated in the papers that
majority of the Districts Of this State have gone
in favor of the Democratic party If such has
been the result with the slight effort made at tho
last election, ought it not to encourage US to make
greater e1ertions in future in order to insure the
election of men identified with the permanent in
terests of the State, in lieu of the place. seeking
Carpet Baggers and Bureau Officers? Something
should be done to arouse the people to the no'os-
sity of every mans taking An active and personal
part in political matters Next fall, for the irst
time, Carolinians will be called on to vote directly
for the Electors of the President, and it woul be
a source of pride and congratalaton could we BY
r united and earnest effort, succeed in carrying
Carolina's vote for the Democratic Nominee in
spite of the manpulations Of the dominant hdi-
cal party. It retts with the white mon of tho
State to determine whether that vote shall becast
for the Radical or Democratic Candidate.
If the proper measures are taken, and tho
proper influences brought to bear, we can succeed.
To do this, hope will hayc to be excited inthe
hearts of the despondant; au interest will hve
to be awakened in the minds of the indffernt,
and personal prejudices, and minor issues, vill
have to lie dormant until the contest is ened.
Every precinct should have its Democratic Cub
which should place itself in communication nd
act in unison with the Central District Glib.
These organizations should not be deferred ultil
the eleventh hour, but instant action shouldbc
taken, and the Clubs should invite prominut
public speakers to address the people.
The National Central Democratic Committee
offers to supply campaign documents for distr bu-
ton. These should bo procured by the Clubs md
distributed in their vicinity.
Il is by similar means that the Radicals have
succeeded, and. unless We make corresponding Of
forts to theirs, they will continue to rulc.
PROGRESS.

The moderate radicals are already driven from
their party, and they have no where to 20 but
into the ranks of the Democratic party, unless
the qualified negro suffrage men of South Caro-
lima shall give them rallying point The motto
of Northern Democrats is that they were born
white men, and will live white men, or die white
men, fighting for the supremacy of the white
race. If those men, who will be affected by me-
gro suffrage only through the Federal Govern
ment, can cherish such unconquerable opposition,
how much stronger, if it,Hero possible, ought we
to oppose it, who will have the negro to rule over
US in the State Government, as we'll as in the
Federal.
Then fling the qualified negro suffrage policy
to the dogs, and hang out the banner Of principle
on the outer wall-the Democratic flag of white
supremacy, and watch we'll the Southern man
who will net rally around that flag. -Abolishing
slavery aud enfranchising negroes as a part Of
the body polite, are two very different things. II
Northern Democrats failed to prevent tho one,
that is no reason why they should not now have
both the power and the ,cill to prevent the other
of which more in the next.

OBITUARY Y

DIED, on the first of May, noar Waldo, Fla,
GEORGE BLOCKER, youngeHt child Of JoHS L.
and ANNA 3. NICHOLSON, in the third year OF
his age.
His parents had but lately emigruted to Flor
ida with hearts hopeful for the future when alas! !!
death, with icy breath, blightcd the little one,
who bid fair to be hope and stay to them in fu-
ture years. But God doeth MI things well, and
there is no more sorrow or pain, neither tempta.
tion for the child of their hearts tcndertst regards
May that same Mercifnl Being temper the
storms of advcrsity to their strength.
Arms more tender now entwine thee,
Love more holy laves thy brow;
Never, never, can suffering touch thee
Thou art sn immortal now
DIRs, on the 4th June, 1858, after but few
days illness, WILLIE D. ADDISON, eldest child
of WHIrFIELD B. and SALLIE ADDISON, of Baker,
Ga.,-aged 10 years, II months and 10 days.
The fond hope, the cherished object of parental
unusal sprightliness of his mind !; the amiabiity
Of his disposition that attracted all who knew
him ; and above all, the kind attention to, and af-
lection for, his undertaking now remains but
sad memery.
Neither the care aud caresses of fond parents,
nor the skill of tho physician could arreat the pro.
gross Of discase,-while quickly, but quietly, he
sunk down amidst his grief-stricken and wailing
parents.
How sad, how solemn, how frail the tender tie of
human bliss Is it true that the good die sary?"
Is it necessary to chasten and purify tho heart
that The groat central hope Of lifa should 60 down
amidst tears and anguish7 Must tho sublime
mistery Of Gods dispensation forever move on in
silence and giveno explanation of itself to our
impatient questioniDgs?
"Yet let as argue not 4
Against Heavens hand or will, nor bate ajot
Of heart or hope, but still bear up and ateor
Right onward, trustingt that what's best may come
From favouring Heaven, though disguised to NOR
tai KEN"
We attempt NO words of consolation to the
father and mother in their deep grief; we we'll
know that nothing but time can minister to minds
thus crushed and overwhelmed; that while tho
dear object OF their affections has been taken away
the affections themselves remain, and will in time,
like vines put forth thoir broken tendrila for sup-
port May .he Angel os Peace hasten the period,
by rolling away the stone from their hearts, and |
binding up thoir shattered sympathies!
