mands the present high figures. But who
can tell what it will bring one year from to-
day a commodity, the price OF which nothing
is more subject to fluctuations. IF ever the
South becomes independent and selEsustain-
Ing, it will not be the result of planting cotton,
but of raising the prime neccssarics Of life, and
experience. the best philosopher extant, will
yet teach our farmers this valuable lesson
But the misfortune is it may come too Iate, as
many a good thing does For after every
man has besggarcd his fortune buying fcrtil-
izcrs to enrich his lands, led on by the deu-
sive hope of yet coming out at the big end Of
the horn by planting this staple, it will bc too
late to enter even upon tolcrable cultivation
of those things which experience will Thea;
have taught him to be the most profitable, for
he will not be able. NJ crop is more uncer-
tain than one IF cotton, 4and our farmers We
fear will be caught in the same trap this year,
which some ofthen made such lbng faces un-
der in 1867. Then they paid high price for
provisions, &c, thinking cotton would sell
wcll-it WAS King" but puny one it proved
itself to be, fur in many places the proceeds
which accrued from the sale of every pound
OF the crop did not equ,l the outlay. This
was not only the case in this State but in Ala
bama also-a better cotton country tina. this.
The farmers there, many Of them bin led, or
fascinated by the big idea cotton CROP" even
went SO far as to mortgage every thug they
liad real and personal, in order to procure
provisions to carry Oil the extensive fields they
had under the cultivation of this staple, and
what was tue result, perfectly natural. When
it was gathered sold for eight and nine cents "a
pound, its competency falling far short of
liquidatins the debts contracted during the
year.-but the mortgages had to be closed
cotton wasn't King enough to keep the mort
gasec from selling their homes.
This will show you Mcssrs Editors, how
unwisc policy it is in our farmers to neglect
corn, peas, p"tatocs &c. for so Unstable n
thing rs cotton.
Experience is the prophet of the, future,
and farmers had better consult it we'll before
they make too many misealculativns.

LETTER FROM GEORGE W. WILLIAMS ESQ.
CHARLEsroN. April g 1860

LETTER FROM GEORGE W. WILLIAMS ESQ.
CHARLEsroN, April 3, 1869
GOVERNOR: / seldom rend the newspapers
beyond the commercial information they con-
tain; neither have taken any part in politics
since the defeat of Clay, in 1874, and / at
tach but little Importance to what the news
papers may say of you and your administra-
tion. / must confess, however, that the
editorial which appeared in to-day's Mrrs fills
my mind with the gloomiest apprehension.
l sincerely hope that the Charleston editor is
the victim Of an April fool, for have too
much confidence in your good Judgment to
believe that you would, at this season of the
year, and in time of perfect peace, introduce
an element in the State which would dom oralize
the agricultural labor from the sea- board to
the mountain top. You have lived long
enough at the South, Governor, to learn
something of the negro character, and how
easily they are drawn from their daily pursuits
by circus exhibitions and military parades.
The formation of few negro regiments, at
this time, would not only have the most
disastrous effects upon the agricultural laborers
(both white and black) Of the State, but
would most unquestionably lead to war of
races.
The merchant and factors of Charleston are
stralnipg every nerve to aid the planters, and
they have been gratifed to learn that the
negroes throughout the State were working
with unusual energy, and were much better
pleased with their. prospects than at any time
since the termination Of the war. You have,
Governor, seen enough Of war to fully ap-
prcciate the value of peace. A fsw years Of

A fine guaranty of protection in political
opinions, have those who may happen to differ
with the Democratic Club!
These influences, which arc so lard to be
eradicated- these prejudiccs-this tyranny Of
opinion, this faith in ieaders,-are the ghosts
of the past institutions Of the South which
linger to gibbcr at and scare men from sub.
n'itting to the fate, which victory has pro-
houhced against us, to scare men from "ac.
cepting the situation" from going to work to
build up their ruins, from taking the course
which is most sensible in politics, and most ad
vantageous to our financial hopes and pros
poets!
The Agricultural society is aiH-born be-
cause its foster mother had no life of its own
none to impart to its offspring, -''
The Democratic Club would impart its spirit
and perpetnate its inHncnce, tn another gene
ration, but has failcd-the effort is an abortion,
a failure
Does not everything around us tell the same
fact more plainly every day, these things have
passed away, forever?
The future, like the panoramic sheet is un-

Hard has been the ordeal through which
the Southern people have passed, terrible, hu-
initiating, and longer continued will be the or

this bondage, these influences!
We need not repeat here tho advantages of
an Agricultural Society, the multiform ways
in which it will benefit the individual and the
community, the benefit to the laborcr aud the
capitalist, the culture of the soil, to stock
raising; in the introduction of labor-sayinc
machinery, and the intelligent use of fertilizers
in the impetus and emulation it will give to

All will appreciate the advantage of such

made to organize the Agricultural Society.
