FOR Southerner to be provoked
at Grants imbeoility, is, too say the
. east of it, upphilosophical. All
worldly good TO him and his must
come, not from Grant, or Congress, or
capitalists, or the constitution as it
was, or asitis, OF as it shall be, but
from himself. His first duty is to
make his bread. His second, is to
educate his children and the children
of such as died for him. Let his SEQ.
tion but become materially indepen-
dent, and political power is certain.
Disgusted as he may have been, at
first, at the bray Of tho Yankee "ass
in the lions skim. .loathing another
exhibition of his low cunning and ha.
bitpal perfdity, he can soon curb his
scorn, and look on upon the game of
"Hcads Twin Tails, you lose" being
played at Washington with reference
to the South by our magnanimous aud
affectionate brethren, with cynical in
! difference and considerable amuse-
ment. The struggle, at present, is
between Grant and the Senate on tho
tenure of Office law, and as mere
"lookers on in Venice" we should
prefer to sec the Senate carry the day,
and control the patronage Of the Gov
ernment. For now that tho war has
overthrown the States in every other
respect, the only check upon the most
radical democracy conceivable that we
can see in the present structure Of the
government, is tho conse vatism of tho
Senate, as it would soon de- olop itself,
if Senators controlled the patronage
to Office in their rcspt otfve States
ministerial Offices ought, too, to bo
for life, irrespectiv Of political diff
lcronces, unless corruption and NAL
feasance can be proved. Political
persecution can be defended son no
ground of reason whatever, that will
not logically include religious perse-
oution and justify the Inquision.-
Till the crop of military Presidents
shall have been exhausted however,
the South has no practical interest in
this question, though her oarpot-bug-
gers and soafawags may have a great
deal of interest in it; but it may bo
we'll to note the direction of the cur

Grant Among his Friends.

1t is but fair, after expressing our

to what we Of tho South are to cx-

we should print, for tho Judgment Of
our readers, the following culogy from

STATE AGnrcuGTuRAE SocIErY.-
We judge by tho tenor Of an article
published in tho last number of the
Abbeville Press, as we'll as by the
general tone Of other leading State
papers, that it is desired to 70 on al
once with the necessary arrangements
for securing full representation at
the Convention proposed to be held in
Columbia on the 28th April, for the
purpose of forming State Ag,ioul-
tural Society.
1t had appeared to US best that in
the fsst place District Agricultural
Societies should be organized, dele
gates from which should constitute
the State or Central Society but it
seems TO be Thought advisable that
the District Societies should be aux
iliary bodies, altogether separate from
the State Society aud independent of
it, and we are not 80 welded to our
own opinion as to hesitate q moment
in giving our hearty support to tho
movement in the manner suggested by
the able press Of tho upper districts.

The Growth of our Towns.

The lover of his country sees much
to rest his hopes upon in the probable
future growth Of our towns through
out the Southern States, arising from
the new social condition in which We
are placed. Tho town, and farms
within easy distance of town, as dis
tinguished from plantations carelessly
cultivated and far distant from society
and civilization, have now such evil
dent attractions, that, with the return
OF money and tho success Of few
more tolerable crops, our towns will
grow. Fairfield, in particular, prom

occasions when fine climate admits

saloons are managed-how gambling
houses and lotteries are conducted.
how stock and oil companies originate
and how the bubbles burss--and treats

Wo rejoice to chronicles that the

beon enabled, by the liberality of the
community, without regard to denom-
inationaf distinctions, to erect an edi
fice for the worship Of their Creator,
Redeemer and Comforter, in lieu of
the one burnt by Sherman's force
This, we believe, is the very first
church rebuilt since the war in the
the South. If our exchanges know of
any other, we should like to be cor
rected in our assertion. 1t has been
rebuilt by our own people and with
our own resources, by a christian
community, which, differing from each
other in some respects, all acknow-
ledge and adore the same common
Lord. 1t is the FIRST enterprise to
which Fail field has contributed of
the means that returning and hard
earned prosperity hos begun to bring
in our midst. Tie erection, of q
church Could We have commenced
our new career by any better deed :
The ladies of our town, with char
acteristio taste, united in dressing the
church for Elster services most beau.
tifully. The prayers were read, and
the sermon preached by the Rev.
R. Withers Memminger, a young cler.
gyman of but short experience and
practice, but whose masculine grasp
of thought and steady and rapid pro-
gress betoken the devoted preacher,
and give promise of career of emi-
nent usefulness. The congregation may
well feel blessed of God in their min
ister. Indeed, our community is
siogularly fortunate in noble corps
Of sincere and earnest ministers Of
the glorious gospel.
We trust, in conclusion, that both
preachers and congregations will con-
tinue toeherieh the spirit of cordial
christian love, which has characters
ed our community in the matter cf
rebuilding this sacred edifce, and may
they all find profit to their souls in tho
services now reinaugurated' in their.
midst. "There is," says a distin-.
guished and liberal-minded Presby-
terian Divine, alludipg to the "bcok
Of common prayer" "something which
defes the tooth Of time, and stands the
test Of human scrutiny--that service,
80 venerable, simple, soothing and
sublime. One feels, it's stern contempt
Of all ornament, that meretrioious
millenery Of words, by which ell that
Is grand is grotesqued by modern refine
m ment; and there arises the thought that
these are the prayers which have been
inspired by the flames of persecution,
and the chariots Of fire which have
borne the souls Of martyrs to the pa
fadise Of Ged.''
