ADDRESS OF MR.. MEMMINGER.

Gentlemen 1t is with much salts
faction ] greet this meeting of the
West and South. The long range o
the Allegheny Mountains has stood
for many years as barrier between
us, which twice in the last half centu-
ry we have vainly attempted to re-
move. The third opportunity is now
afforded us, and this meeting brings
together the men, who, il they will,
can now extend our introduction in~
to lasting union of friendship and
profit. On our side VIC present a
commodious seaport, a country
aboundng in capacity for improve.
ment, and thousands oil customers
anxious to purchase the very COM
modities which, on your side, You are
anxious to offer for sale not only to
US, bnt to the commercial world, at
the door OF our seaport. What pre-.
vents the harpy consumma'ion oil the
wishes OF both parties A narrow
belt of mountain, which nature her>
self has pierced by river, which re-
moves half its difficulties, and which
belt can be crossed without single
tunnel and at grade less than at
any other crossing Of this great
mountain range. The outlay of only
two millions Of dollars can forge the
link wanting in the chain of connec-
ton, and can introduce the Western
producer 10 his Southern customer,
and thus break down the barrier
which separates them. The railroad
system at the West has nearly
reached the line between Tennessee
and North Carolina the railroad
system of the South will, during the
ensuing summer, reach the line be.
tween North and South Carolina, so
that the barrier is now substantially
limited to the narrow width OF West
ern North Carolina. IT the credit Of
the Southern States had not been
ruined by the wretched rulers who
have governed them since the war,
this barrier would soon be removed. {.
But in the existing condition Of
things the states are powerless, and
the work must be done by private
enterprise. The Chicago and South
Atlantic Railroad Company have
undertaken the enterprise at the
Western end the Spartanburg and
Ashcyille Railroad Company have
assumed it at the southern end.
Both depend upon the cooperation Of

REMARKS OF COL. TRENHOLM.

The chairman next introduced Col.
William l.. Trenholm, who spoke as
follows:
Mr.. President and Ladies and
Gentlemen Words of kindly greet
ing to our visitors and friends have
been given. All that can be said
has been already well said /; better
said than l can say. Yet having re,
ceived the honor CT being commits
stoned, as it were. by the people OF
| Charleston to speak to our visitors,
l take the liberty of repeating that
welcome and testifying the sincerity
with which it is given. 1t is pleas
ing to know that that welcome is ap.
preciated, and it is also especially
pleasing to look forward to a time
when the bright prosperity of tfe
great West shall begin to flow down
upon this great country of ours and
restore to US that prosperity for
which. our people have so long hun
gered and thirsted. Ladies and gen.
tlemen visitors, you are mere where
we have lived for some time upon
hope the fruits Of reunion and re-
intercommunication have ripcned
very slowly, and the higher necessities
of our people have in a measure,
forced US to subsist upon their fruits
while they were In their bitter state.
But we look upon this event. this
coming TO us of a national organiza-
ton, this first national assemblage in
Charleston in fifteen years. as a har-
binger of that summer which is 10
ripen those fruits, on the hope of
which we have subsisied for so long
a time. You have been told that we
need your assistance. We have no
credit as q state. The wall OF the
Appalachian Range stands between
us and prosperity. We are trying to
pierce this wall. Will you help Us Z?
The great object of this day to CONNER
cial men is to shiptheir goods by the
shortest route TO the best port Of out

a Visit 10 ChnrIeston.


On Wednesday Feb. Sd upon the
streets. and in the lobbies OF the no.
tel, of Charleston hundreds of strange
faces we're to be seen, and each ar.
rival of the trains brought consider
able addition to the goodly number
OF Patrons Of Husbandry already
there. Staid and earnest men from
the North, the East, the South and
The West were assembled in the Ma
tlonal Grange on that day taking
counsel together upon matters affect>
ing the general interests Of the plant
ers and farmers, that large and inn
portant class of the citizens of the
Union, and the indications were that
"much wisdom" would be the result of
this great counsel.
TO many OF the delegates this visit
was OF unusual interest, being their
first to the old City by the sea"
which had, TO them at least, a novel
aspect, and full Of historic associa,
tions, some Of them OF recent date.
1t was pleasing TO witness the cour-
tesy extended to all by the citizens
and We are sure that favorable and
lasting impression has been left upon
the visitors of the hospitality and
courtesy so lavishly dispensed. 1t
was our pleasure to meet Dudly W.
Adams, o. II. Kelley, A. B. Grasch,
William Saunders ana others, the
founders OF the O'der, and to witness
the deliberative wisdom which chars
scterized the entire proceedings.
Truly great good must result from
an association whose representatives
are such men and women as compose
the National Grange. The benefits
that will result from this meeting of
the National Grange in Charleston
are greater than can be readily real
lied. As by this visit " i'll commence
the renewing of old ties, the forming
Of new alliances, the gradual assimi-
alton which shall rake this Ameri-
ca, In the days to come, united in
thought and aim and act-one, and
only one, in hope and purpose and
destiny.
We give as far as il is possible an
account of the proceedings but canno
give the particulars until we have
received them IRON the Committee on
Printing who determine what por-
ion OF The proceedings can be made
public. We will here take occasion
o inform Master of the several Sub
ordinate Oranges and Deputies in
his section that we are in possession
of information concerning the secret
work of the Order which is very
necessary that every Patron should |
POSSESS. We will take pleasure in |
this Information to the sev-
'ral Oranges if transportation be
us. C. K. B.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.
ANNUAL MEETING or THE
NATIONAL GRANGE AT
CHARLESTON, SOUTH
CAROLINA.
THE MATTERS MESSAGE.

/
Patrons Of Husbandry: From thu
snow.clad hills, the howery wales, the
golden shore, and prairie lands We
meet together by the historic palmet'
to. Not as Nomads who gather at q
shrine in obedience to o sentiment dc
we come, but as chosen representa-.
tives of the fraternity whose object is
the moral and material advancement
of the great republic. Standing as we
do to-day upon the narrow line which
divides the past from the future, abo It
to step forward into that time which
is all unseen by human eye, it behooyes
us to well scrutinize the track behind
us. that we gain thereby some clue to
the path before. One year ago we
met beyond the Father of Waters and
n9ratulated ourselves on the growth
and strength of our gigantic young
order. TO day, by the ever sounding
seas we proudly proclaim that our
members have increased one hundred
fold. Two more sister states Maine
and Montana) have joined our ranks,
and the few remaining ones are joy
fully on the way. The work bas
spread from ocean to ocean.
The winds have waited the sounds
across, and now they come back like
echoes from the other shore, asking
us to exteud to other people helping
hand. This uprising and organizing
of a great and scattered interest has
not parallel in the history of the
world. The magnitude and force of
the movement has surprised its friends
and astonished and alarmed its foes.
1t has burst upon US with the sudden,
ness of the erratic comet, yet promi-
ses to remain with the bl'illiancy and
permanency Of the sun. 1t found the
agriculture Of the nation unorganized
isolated, unrecognized, weak, plodding
and their voices virtually nnheard 10
the councils of the land. To-day they
are ganized, united, strong, thought
ful, and duly respected and recogniz
ed as cne OF the great powers that be.
Though much has now been done in
awakening thought and clearing the
field, yet we have but just stepped
upon the mount and caught faint
glimpse of the promised land. Right |
before us it lies awaiting our possess
sion. But ere we fairly reach the
goal and fully possess the land we see,
, wide and weary waste is to be cross

prudence, our perseverance, and our
valor. The positions of honor and
rust, the avenues to great wealth, the |
moulding of the political, financial and
institutions of the nation.
