mate triumph Of the cause of liberty aud
truth and the Southern people, at last
recovering from the stunning, crushing
achievement, are recognizing the great
facts an. changes which are the bases of
that civilization aud are lending their aid
in its furtherance, aud placing themselves
in its pathway to reap the benefit which
must ever accrue from these triumphs of
progress, and the amelioration of hu-
manity over the effete and stagnant sys-
TENS that ever and anon settle as an In
cubus upon q nation.
And to our colored citizens we would
speak in favor of this movement. The
facts Of your citizenship lis recognized
and admitted BY the white people of
your State; .They greet yod' as fellow
citizens and ask you andto come and to
reason together for the welfare of their
onmon StateI s.. f.o
They are willing to nominate and they
will nominate and vote for the honest and
worthy Of you to hold Offices in the
State,
Do you ask more than this Does the
party that controls and enslaves your
vote give you or promise you more than
this? Do you ask or promise yourselves
more than this |?
H This is what we recognize and guaran-
tee to bo your rights. And We ask you
simply to exercise your rights and pre-
rogatives as citizens of this State, not,
to continue this rule of corruption which
is as revolving to your sense of deccncy
and honesty as to ours, but to secure the
government to those who are worthy
whether they are white or black.
We ask you to unite with us in the
great effort. When the meeting is called
in this county, come to it, and consent to
be delegates, to represent the honest and
worthy citizens of your State, who would
redeem their State from its vile durance
of dishonesty and unworthiness.

York patronises the Penitentiary
heavily. Three York negroes have
lately been sent there to remain fifteen
years. One of them amused himself by
killing man. The other two indulged
the advertisement of burning and robbing
stores.
f Gov. SCOTS militia is impudent and
aggressive. They have crossed over
from York District into the neighboring
County of Cleveland in North Carolina,
when they appeared at u Court of Ar
bitratiou, which was attended by some
sixty citizensrof the county. They were
armed with sixteen-shooting rifles and
acknowledged that they bel ,nged to
SCOTS militia. Said they were there
for the purpose OFFS hunting turkeys" :"
The citizens were outraged aud indig-
pant, looking upon the proceeding as AN
insult, and an effort to intimidate the
the Court. 1t was with difficulty that
a few cool heads could prevent commo-
tioh and violence. A meeting of citi-
zens was held, and resolutions adopted
requesting Gov. Scott to restrain his
lawless militia from entering their State
during the sessions of their Civil Courts,
to overawe aud intimidate thei. legal
authorities and other good citizens.

Who Will Respond?

The Press Convention has met, and
now submits its actions to the people.
Will these actions be endorsed, is now
the question. What does the Conven-
tion suggest? Simply the recognition
of the legal right Of the colored man to
vote, and to hold office. Is there man
SO Indifferent to the progress of events,
or SO blinded by prejudice as to deny
this fact? Is not the action. of the Press
the plain dictate of wisdom?
Consider the great object in view, the
redemption of our State from corruption
and misrule, and the establishment of
just and equal governr ent. and we can
then better answer the question. The
gentlemen composing this Convention
have taken broad view of the political
situation; they have surveyed the whole
field, and in calm conference, have
adopted a wise and masterly movement,
n movement which will strike terror into
the Radical camp, and dccimate their
already wavering ran s.
IL is TO be noticed that we are not
called upon to admit moral right, but
legal one. Moral philosophy and
political philosophy are by no means
identical. 1t cannot be denied that the
right of voting is sacred trust, right
which no one should exercise without
feelings CT deep respo sibility, without
fear and trembling, and which should be
entrusted only to the honest and intel
ligent, but alas the imperfection of hu-
man governme It forbids! Education,
the great purifier, is the only remedy.
Let us then take the world as it is, and
not as it should be. Let us &C nit the
facts which stare us in the face, and use
them for the accomplishment of better
things.
The powers that be, to whom We are
scripturally enjoined to be subject, have
given to the colored man the right to
vote, and why should we murmur?
What Providence has permitted we
should not rebel against. The great
desideratum now is good government,
besides which ali minor considerations
should be buried With singloness of
motive, and honesty Of purpose, let u
then buckle on our armor for the con
test. Let us unfurl our peaceful banners
to the breeze. On the one side let us
write Getrenchment and reform. and on
the other equal rights and equal Justice
to all men. Our bark will then be
launched upon new sea. Our con-
necton with the National parties will be
severed, and as such we must steer clear
of party prcjudices aud extremes. We
must avoid the scylla on the one side,
and the Charybdis on the other, and
follow the golden mean
Such a course if pursued with unity
hone ty and discretion is fraught with
bright and cheering hope
1t unveils glorious future for our
State, Will it be adopted?

The New York Legislature has under
consideration II bill reducing the commu-
taton or head money upon immigrants
entering New York from $3.50 to 81 80
passenger. The commissioners of
emigration, it is asserted, have, during
the last eight years accumulated fund
of SS,OOO,O0O, besides paying all cx-
penses and demands upon them. The
head money is intended to guarantee the
city and State of New York against the
able-brdicd emigants becoming burden
on the public.

AN ENCOURAGING VIEw.-The Chi
cago fr'Jn"e gives cheerful picture OF
Southern respects. Rarely, if ever, f"
it assures us, )" has the South been in n
better position to trad, than she is now.
Money is plentiful, and skilled labor is
in large demand The consequence has
been large migration Southwark Du,
ring January and Februraary about
5000 lnborers passed over the Illinois
Central railroad to Cairo, whence they
proceeded to fields of lucrative labor in
the Gulf States and the exodus contin-
ues. Nor is change from this healthy
condition likely to occur. The gleat
cotton crop Of 1868 60 realized well uigh
$500, 100000, and if the price of the
staple does mt materially decline, and
the estimate of n yield this season of
nearly three millions Of bales should
prove correct, the South will command
about $500, 100000, which, with the
proceeds of her sugar, tobacco and other
staples, cannot fail to have marked
and most favorable infucuce upon the
commercial, manufacturing and finan-
cial interests Of the entire country"

LANDS FOR THE LANpIEss-4o The |


LANDS FOR THE,LANDLEss.-To tho
Editor ofate Charleston Nen,s.--Notic-
ing two Articles in your paper on the
subject of immigration, aud being my.
self an immigrant, feel authorized in
Offering still another suggertion on that
head, and with your kind permission,
will now propose n plan by which to
to turn the channel of Immigration to
the soil of South Carolina. That plan
is plain and fasable, reqairingno outlay
OF capital, but in lieu general donution
OF some ncres of waste land, which af.
for,ls, no income to the owners, but
tend to increase not only their poverty
individually, but that of tho State at
large.
1t would surprise any one who has
not thought on the subject, to be inform
ed to what extent taxes are paid on
surplus lands. At the present moment,
none will deny that it is less difficult to
get the subscription of one thousand acres
OF land than twenty thousand dollars in
cash. This land offered to immigrants
will undoubtedly attract to the State, in
any desired number, a people willing to
work and contribute all in their power
to the prosperity of tho commonwealth.
And again, such inducen ents offered
give to the proprietors the advantage of
selecting immigrants from the most in
dustrious aud honest of tile laborng class
throughout Europe.
The question arises, can the immi-
grant pay his passagc without assistance !?
This is easily solved for with one hun
dred thousand acres of land, tt will not
be difficult, either in Europe or Ameri-
ca, to negotiate loan ofAfifty thousand
dollars at six or eight per cent. on five
years time, provided always good
mortgage be given on the land, thus
securing to the capitalists the twenty
five dollars, with interests paid each
immigrant. Thirty thousand dollars Of
this SIAM will be sufficient to pay the
passage of two thousand immigrants to
any part of the State. The remaining
twenty thousand will amply cover all
agencies, bureau expenses, &c.
But it uay seem to those who may
difficulty will arise as to who may be
entitled to the first immigrants. The
first subscribers are entitled to the first
choice
Communications for pr against my
plan will be heard with interest, either

SOUTHERN AGRlCULfuRAL MAX
IMs.--Wc extract irolA the Augusta
Chronicle the followlHsgTieoof irony
which our planters would do well to
ponder:
Look to the merchant for advances
aud mortgage independence, but increase
cotton. The refuse hay of the Yankee
farmer IS swetcr to the tooth of the cot.
ton planters mule than sncculcnt fodder,
and Western flint corn containcth more
nutrimeut than Southern gourd seed.
1t is better to handle much money
than to make sure gains, and harrow
Ing debt to be pref urcl to sure sur.
plus. Look abroad for meat; but at
home brave, gnawing usury.
Starve the c"ttIo upon thousand
hills, but buy guano.
Great is he who buyeth meat and
bread and oxen asses, but cheapcneth
garments Tor The world he extcndeth
his labors he scndeth abroad for wood
ware and utensils and field implements !;
he handleth much money and giveth the
stranger the profit thereof; but he is
accounted great, and the trading man
maketh obeisance to him; but the con-
tentm,nt OF him who oweth no debt
bringeth no fame among them that so
to aud fro over the face of the earth.

The FREsHET AND THE RICE Crops.
The irvshct, says the Savannah adver-
tiser, which prevailed for some time past
on the Savannah, Altam.ha and
oScechee Rivers, has seriously ipterfered
with planting operations, aud in many
cases interfcred materially with the rice
prospects for the coming year. Coming
just at time when all the preparations
had been made for planting and in the
majority of cases the seed already sown,
it has put back operations at least three
weeks. in all the plantations tho fields
have been and are still under water; and
if the rivers do not fall this week, the
damage to the present rice crop will be
incalculable.
