"A valued correspondent writes TO The
News from 0rangeburg on the 18th instant:
Another year is begun, and, with energy un-
abated, the farmer puts the old years reverses
behind. and turns his face hopefully to the
untried new. The.tempttng price OF cotton In
'69 induced hlm to invest largely In fertilizers;

TO leave them alone, and his plans are divert
ed measuTably from liking Cotton" to the less
preteltlous provision and stock crop. The
numbers OF freedmen who are farming on
their ewn account is unprecedented; they pre-
sarlly the rudest OF materiel, and cr,ldest OF
brains in their work. The result will be a vast
dlminytion Of the products OF the district, and
unusual mortality among them. We are for

disturbed as In some of the upper districts; no
violence nor apprehension excites our people,
and the report Of "dead head" unhlngmg

was broken at gettysburg. is net credited.
Our ra,npapt Radicals have subsidized lately to
a gentle dochy; something has induced this
change. May they stay changed, and employ
their energies to better use than fomenting
strife.
