ANDERSON FARMERS AssoCIATI0N-.sPRcIAL
PREMIUMS FOE C6RN AED COTTON.

The annexed correspondence reveals some in
teresting facts for the farmers Of this region who
desire to compete for the substantial premiums
herewith announced. First, the agen: of Baugh's
Rawbone Phosphate offers ton Of that well
known fertilizer, to be equally divided as pre-
MUM for both corn and cotton; secondly, the
agents Of the Etiwan Fertilizers authorize the
Association to offer similar amount of their
manufacture for the same purpose. Altogether,
then, there are four Premiums, two each for corn
and cotton. The conditions are simply that each
contestant for either of the premiums shall pay
an entrance fee of So for the benefit of the Asso-
ciation, and shall notify the Secretary of such in
tenton on their part, and pay the entrance fee on
or before the 10Th day of June next. Of course
the fertilizers to be used on each acre will be the
same the premium contended for, and each
contestant must furnish the particulars as to prep
aration of the Land, quantity applied, and the
manner of application. It is likewise stipulated
that farmers in either Anderson, Pickens and
Oconee counties may compete for these premiums.
We invite attention to the correspondence below:
CORRESPONDENCE.
ANDERSON, 8. c., Dec. Is, 1869.
To The Executive Committee of the Anderson Farm
ers Association
GENTLEMEN: Having used Baugh's Rawbone
Phosphate successfully on corn and cotton the
past season, propose to offer through you half
ton of said Phosphate as premium for the best
acre of corn and the same amount for the best
acre of cotton, to be grown during the season Of
1870 in Anderson, Pickens or Oconee counties, by
the application Of Baughs Rawbone Phosphate,
under such regulations as you may prescribe. I
would suggest that an entrance fee be charged all
competitors, for the use or benefit of the Associa
tion. Respectfully,
B. F. GRAFTON.

Of rejecting minds deem it going too far for
the President and Senate to annex territory
by treaty without consulting the House Of
Representatives and they will think II is
pushing this line Of policy to an alarming
extent for the President to begin to pay for
such territory, without the slightest warrant

How shall Territory hc Acquired DO

The proposed annexation of Dominica Is
raising new issues, Heretofore, with the sin.
gle exception OF Alaska, all annexations to
the United States have been Of territory ad
joining cur own. Congress, and particularly
the House Of Representatives,, very rcluc
family consented 70 the acquisition Of Alaska ;
md the latter only yielded it's opposition to
the meas ure ior fear of giving serious offence
to Russia-our tru,it, if not our sole friend
among the first-class powers of Europe.
But Alaska is on the main land, and almost
touches cur Pac ic possessions, whereas Do
minica is portion Of IN island lying remote
from our shores. If it be obtained, it
will doubtless prove to be the first step in
series of insular acquisitions in the tropics

Two Prime Ministers-A Parallel.

Mr.. HAMILTON FISH may take comfort.
The Prime Minister of one of the other great
powers is involved in complication which
with Spain.
Mr.. Fian IS the father in law Of Mr. SID.
NEY WEBSTER, a noted intrguer counsel
20 the Spanish Government As such. Mr.
WEBSTER gets handsome fees, which tho
Spaniards fud their account in paying. Mr.
FISH has charge of the relations between
the United States and foreign countries. As
long az it makes no practical difference, he
is on the side Of the Cubans but as soon
rs IL becomes a matter of importance to
Spain, he turns around and plants himself
on the Spanish side. All this happens while
his soninlaw is in the pay of Spain. With
this state Of things the American people can
not remain satisfied. Above all, they think
that the Secretary Of State ought not sud
denly to change the policy of their Govern
ment, and make il favorable to the interests
of Spain and dshonorable TO his own
country, apparently because his sons EN-.
ployers desire TO have II 80.
But, as we say Mr.. FISH may now take
comfort. The new French Prime Minister
M. EMILE OLIVIER, has long been in the
pay of the Pasha Of Egypt as the counsel of
that prince in France. This has not been an
indirect arrangement There has been no
son-in-law in the case. 1t is VI. OLIVIER
himself who has taken the PCshas money.
and taken it ut the rate OF v0,CC0 francs Il
year.
The Sultan, the legitimate sovereign Of
the Pasha, is naturally disturbed at the
powerful position to which the Pasha's coun.
sci has now attained, just as the Cubans and
the people of the United States are disturbed
1T the powerful position 10 which the coun-
eel OF spain Las apparently attained in this
country. And yet it does not appear that
since the PROMOTION OF NJ OLIVIER h. has
gwen any special cause for dissatisfied on.
He has not yet determined any question of
moment in favor Of his rich Egyptian client
against die honor OF France and whenever he
shall presume to do SO, we fancy the French
people and the French Legislature will deal
with him in very summary manner. Let
him then beware howEe initiates the exam
pie OF the American Prime Minister, by act.
ing In any importaIs matter in behalf Of
Egypt, and against the interest and the good
name Of France. In the United States, the
Secretary of State may perform such feat
without losing either his office or his head
but in France such an experiment would be
fraught with serious danger.

OF the best character. All that need to make our
State a great commercial and manufacturing centre
Is legislation TO encourage investments here In these
branches OF industry England and France impose

II Is question whether the statesmen or this coun
try would not do well to emulate the example OF our
successful foreign competitors, whose commercial
prosperity is chiefly owing TO this oxcmp-
ton. The citizens of New Jersey cannot so
successfully employ capital in personal property OF
this character their foreign rivals who exempt
from this species Of taxation We must elect either
to change present legislation In ills respect and
make II conform to the more liberal legislation Of
other countries, we must be content TO see
capital seek other localities where II will be free
from this burden. The position OF New jersey.
lying between the two great States of New York
ana Pennsylvania. will enable us, nv liberal policy
OF taxation, like that TO which have adverted to
draw 10 US an immense amount OF capital and popu
lahOn from these and other States, which would
otherwise never seek n location here. Such legis
lntion so far from diminishing the sources Of taxa
ton and amount OF revenue, would soon increase
both, by the wealth and population that would In
evtably be attracted hithcr Let capitalists feel
assured tSat our legislation will protect their In.
vcstments by uniform, nxod and liberal policy,
not liable to change increase Of TAXATION and our
manufacturing aud commercial prosperity will ex.
coed our most sanguinc hopes OF expectations. II
we would invite capital hithcr, or even retain our
natural increase we must pursue as liberal a policy
toward 1t as is adopted by the great commercial
countries OF the world"
Whether the adoption of these views in O
mere legislative act would DO sufficient TO
draw much capital from New York to New
Jersey may admit of doubt. That would
depend upon tho degree of confidence felt in
the permanency of the policy.
But if the ideas here advanced by the
Speaker Of the House were TO be incorporated
into the Constitution Of that State by an
amendment duly adopted, there cannot be
any reasonable doubt as TO the influence
which they would exert in promoting the
increase Of the population and wealth of the
State
1t may take some time TO carry this sys-
TEN into effect. But we expect. sooner or
later, to see some neighboring State try the
experiment of attracting wealth and popula-
ton In this way.
