The Convention which met at Norfolk. Virginia,
in October last, composed of delegates from the
various cities of the South and West, agreed 10
bold another meeting in Memphis at such time as
the Chamber of Commerce in that city might de-
s;gnase. The 18th day of this month has been
h1edrupon, and delegates are being appointed in
every direction. The State Agricultural and Me-
chanical Society, organized tie other day, very
properly named gentlemen to represent this State
Among the objects in view, re learn that efforts
will be made secure the cooperation of ;he peo
PIE of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys in build
ing up direct trade with Europe through Southern
ports Another object is,to discuss the necessity
for railroad from the Mississippi to the Pacific
coast, over route unobstructed all the year
round, while still another important subject for
discussion will be that of immigration. These
and kindred topics are worthy OF the considera-
tion of our wisest aud most patriotic citizens.
Each Governor is expected TO appoint delega-
ton, not more than ten for the State at large and
enc for each Congressional district. Each city or
town will appoint two delegates for a population
under FIVE thousand, and one for each additional

THE GREENvILLE AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD
COMPANY


The annual meeting of the stockholders of this
company was held in Columbia on Thursday last.
1t was the largest meeting ever held. Over seven
ty thousand shares were represented and about
eleven thousand votes polled ut the election for
President and Directors, o pleasing evidence of
the great interest felt in the welfare of the road
A resolution vas adopted authorizing measures to
be taken for the construction of railroad from
Ninety Six to point on the South Carolins Rail-
road, the charter for which is held by the Green
Vile road On this resolution, an animated de-
bate sprung up, which was participated in by Gov.
ORR, Rev. j. P. BoYcE and others. Gov. ORR e1-
pressed his anxiety to see the road built, and
thought that the proper route was to Aiken; but he
wanted the directors to be perfectly unfetered in
their movements, so that they might make the best
terms they could with any company that wanted
the charter. Resolutions complimentary TO Presi-
dent IIAMMETr and Superintendent MEREDITH we're
adopted The interest and attention given to the
concerns of this Road, and the favorable aspect in
which it is viewed by the business men Of the
State indicate increased prosperity and usefulness

THE SOUTHERN cuLTIYAToR.

The May number has been received. This old
Southern journal (now in its 9th yearl may not
have rs many pictures as some of the Northern
mouthlies, but it is strictly Southern enterprise,
printed on paper made within q few miles of its
Office, and owned and edited by gentlemen born
and reared in the South, who mrst be, TO q great
extent, familiar with the pcculiaries and wants OF
farming in this section. 1t WIFI be fea,ld more
over, by any one taking the trouble TO examine
copy of the Cuifirator-and all are invited TO call
at this Office for that purpose-that the larger part
of its contents is made up of communications
from experienced farmers living in every portion
Of the cotton States. This We regard as an ex
tremely valuable featureNgiving, as it does, q
peculiarly practical cast to this magazine.
In the May number, we find an article from J..
W. CRAWFORD, of Pendleton, on the late and thick
planting of cotton, which We intend to publish
next week, regretting that it is too late for this is
sue Slr. CRAWFORD has promised TO write for
our columns, and we shall be gra,iied to hear
from him or any other practical farmer, believing
that agriculture should be fostered and encouraged
by all the newspapers
The "Southern Culivator" is published at
Athens, Co., by WM. & W. L. JOKES, at $500 q
year. Specimen copies sent. On application.

MORTALITY OF THE TWO RACES.

The Columbia correspondent of The New York
Times, whom We recognize as q reliable and trust
worthy gentleman, give the following facts and
figures, and bases calculation not very favorable
10 the lnongrel crew now ruling over the destnes
of this State The two causes omitted by this
correspondent-whitei immigration and failure
of negroes to increase--we are satisfied will
hasten the day when the two races will be
equal in South Carolina at least one-haf, that is,
in less than six years. Let US adhere to our
homes, work industriously, and all will yet be wc
The mortuary reports in Charleston for the
year S65 exhibited the fact that out of popula-
ton of about 40, 900 in the city-about half white
and half back-lhere have died l,208 persons; of
these SlS were colored and 800 white. That is,
more than two negroes to one white died last year
in Charleston. More exacly, it is one negro 10
every twenty four dies annually, while in the same
time one in every ffty-two whites dies. This
cause alone-leavng out the increase of the whites
by immigration from the North and from Europe,
and the fniiure to,increase on the part of the ne
grocs-this cause alone will result in an equality
of the two races in twelve years. The vote Of The
State is about one in seven; that is about 900
votes in all. of these 10000 are negroes and
10000 whites-the ma ajority of negroes being 2O,-
0UO The black race is crowding toward the coast,
leaving the upper and middle country. This gives
the mountain counties already mo- jority of votes;
and this majority must increase on'that side of the
State At The next elections, in 1870, it is very
probable that the whites will have majority in
The State Senate. which consists Of one from each
county. The excessive maladmins;raion of the
present negro Legislature makes alEwell disposed
friends of good government hope that the power
will soon pass from these ignorant creatures and
tools OF white nspirants, anu be entrusted to- better
hands, whatever be the name or principles of the
party that is TO keep sway.

ANDERSON C. H., May 3rd, 1869.
The Central Democratic Glub of Anderson
District met in the Court House this day. in
pursuance of the call made in last weeks Intelli
oencer. The President, James A. HOyt, ESQ.,. ex-
planned the object for which the Club had been
convened, which was to consider the prcpriety of
nominating candidates for School Commissioner
and Coroner: In the event it was desirable TO
make such nominations, the President thought 1t
was proper TO proceed at once with the business,
rs the election would be held shortly, and time
would not admit of delay.
The Secretary enrolled the names of delegates
from the various local Clubs, when it was ascer
tanned that the following were represented: An
derson c. H.. Rock Mills, Meals Creek, Beas Creek,
Greenwood, Flat Rock, Pendleton, Williamson,
Mountain Creek, Picrcetown and Storeville. a
quorum being present, the Club proceeded to busi-
ness.
On motion Of ]. W. Norris, jr., it was determin-
ed to nominate candidates for School Commissioner
and Coroner
On motion Of W. II. D. Gallard, Committee
was appointed, consisting of one from cash Local
Club, to select suitable persons as candidates for
the Offices named.
Mai T. II. Russell moved that nominations be
made publicly or through the chair, and that the
names proposed be sent to the Committee, which
motion was unanimously adopted. The following
gentlemen were then proposed, and their names
submitted: Rev. John M. Carlisle, R. W. Todd
VIM. H. Haynie, E. l.. Parker, Vim. Lee and T. II.
Russell for School Commissioner; Messrs. W. S.
Shaw and Geo. w. Hammond for Coroner. Maj

necessary for consultation, Col. R. S. Hill enter
tained the meeting with few timely remarks, con-
corning the necessity for preserving harmony and
promoting unity of action in the Democratic ranks.

appreciation.

its last publication that morning. The editor says
tha, he has for some time thought that perhaps

in the hearts of the people, is another TACT which
We cannot but recognize. No cause, however just

GEN. LEE IN WASHINGTON.

Gen. LEE recently visited Baltimore. at the head
OF delegation from the stockholders of several
yirvinia railroads, to solicit mid from capitalists.
He was received with great enthusiasm by the
men and women of Baltimore. in n social point of
yew, and likewise cordially met by the business
portion of the community 1t was iniimGted TO
Ger. LEE that President GRANT desired 10 receive
q visit from him, abI accordingly we find it re-
ported that an interview took place between them
ut the Executive mansion in Washington on Inst
Saturday The Interview was marked with great
courtesy, and was confined to mere formal greet
ings. When Gen. LEE was ushercd into the Ex-
ecutive Office, Minister Motley was present; the
latter retired, thinking perhaps the meeting had
reference TO national affairs. This visit to the
White House occasioncd great interest, and the
ouis nuncs were busly conjcc'uring its meaning
They we're disappointed, however, when it was de-
clarcd that no political significance attached to he
interview. Gen. LEE sojourned in Georgetown,
and kept entirely aloof from public observation.
The last meeting between these representative
men of their respective SECTIONS was more than
four years ago. at tie Apomaltox surrender The
cordiality and friendship displayed in their re-
cent meeting has no partisan or political meaning
but illustrates forcibly the idea that soldiers wor-

and are ready to exchange friendly greetings

aad bravest of the two armies this action of their
