the rich and iuexhaustible soil of this
State repays the farmer far better than the
worn out, red hills Of the old States. In

DAMS Va. FISH.

The article Of Col. Clemson calls attcn-
tiOn 10 subject which il Of great inter-
est to the people Of the section of South
Carolina penetrated by the Savannah
River and its tributaries-the obstruction
at Augusta which prevents the passage
of migratory fish. Some years ago quan.
titles Of shad were caught in the Coun.
ties Of Abbeville, Anderson, Oconee and
Pickens, but since the erection of the
Augusta dam this fish is stranger to
our waters. The Augusta dam abuts
upon the South Carolina bank Of the
river, by virtue of charter from the
Legislature Of this State, which contains
the express condition that the company
obtaining the grant shall maintain good
and sufficient ish.ways. This condition
has been and still is Aagran,ly violated.
In 1881 Col +. b. Murray introduced in
the South Carolina Legislature, and
passed through the House of Represen-
tatives, bill repeating the charter of the
Edgetield Cotton and Woolen Mauufac.
turing Company, and the acts amenda.
tory thereof. unless this company erected
on or before the first of September fol.
lowing tho fsh.ways provided for in
thei charter. When this bill reached
the Senate the city of Augusta sent Col.
VIM. r.. Gary to Columbia to resist its
passage. Col. Gary and Murray went
before the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate, and argued against and for the
bill respec lively, after which Col. Gary
offered as q compromise to pay to Col.
Butler, the Commissioner OF Agriculture,
the sum necessary 10 erect n fish-way
Col. Butler was asked for m estimate of
cost of erecting the fish way, and replied
that 81 900 would be sufficient. Mr.
Murray, thnreupon. agreed not to nress
the bill if the city of Augusta wcnld
pay 10 Col. Butler 81 500 to be used ia
building the fsh.way, any surplus to be
returned to Augusta, and stated that the
friends of the bill claimed that Augusta
mus: keep the fish-ways open, and that
If this 81 500 did not afford sufficient
fish.ways, the friends of the bill would
not bind themselves not to seek addi-
tional legislation In the future. Col.
Butler informs us that he advertised for
bids TO put in this fish-way, and the
lowest bid he received was So 900, 80 that
nothing has as yet been done towards
opening up the Savannah River for the
passage Of fish. We hope the city of
Augusta will put up the balance of the
money necessary to complete this fish.
way without further trouble. If she does
not, then it will be incumbent on the
South Carolina Legislature to pass the
bill which was pending in 1881. Our
legislators will not consent to any fur.
ther compromises, bn. will insist on such
legislation as will either secure good and
sufficient fish.ways, or throw the river
open on the South Carolina aide. It is
useless for our State to be spending two
or three thousand dollars year for the
propagation of fish, when dams are
allowed to stand which prevent those
fish from reaching whole sections of the
State. We either ought to open up our
streams for the passage of fish, or save
the money that is being used for their
distribution over the State.

Our Fish Supply.

| Fort HILL, PENDLEToN Po., S. c.,
| June 18th, 1883.
Mr.. Editor: Many Of my CO cit
liens Of Oconee have, from time t
time, talked to me, asking for informa
tion about fish which were at one tim,
80 abundant in the tributaries to tn,
Savannah River. Some time since NJ
old gentleman came to me and said
"When was boy / used to come dowr
eveiy yeas with my father and h;s wagor
to lay in our supply of fish, which wa.
commonly done every year, when thu
shad and other fish came up. Now, wt
get no fish. Even catfish, trout, sturgeon
&C., were cheap in the Savannah if no.
in the Seneca" When 1 first came tc
Fort Hill, during the season for the ar
rival of migratory fish, the shad were
upon the table daily for breakfast and
dinner. We got none now, nor have ]
seen shad from the Seneca on my table
for the lest FIVE years. This to me is q
privation, and as much to others. To
me, particularly, for having lived many
years in Catholic countries, during Lent
and two days in every week fish were
served. During Lent, when animals
come out from Winter forage, they are
poor, while fish are vigorous, &c.
The other day rose from reading the
account Of the great French nation,
always in advance of all other nations

The same cars that brought the mail
came freighted with thousands of young
chad for the rivers OF South Carolina.
They were put in the Congarec and other
rivers than those tributary to tho Savan.
nah. My friend, Spencer Baird, U. S.
Fish Commissioner, who is an honor to
the government, Is doing much, and some
years since he sent me many thousand of
California parr, to be planted in the
Seneca. They were delivered to me
Christmas week of 1879, the coolest Of
the Winter of 1880. They were vigor.
GUS and all went up stream not one, to
my knowledge, ever returned. Mr..
Baird thought they would suit the waters
Of the Seneca, where those from Canada
and Maine would not, those from the
Pacific Rivers being independent of
temperature, the former not. AS Won
know, all migratory fish ascend rivers to
spawn, and return after visiting the
ocean to the ground where born. Fish
migrate in masses. Logan writes, in his
Vol. !, that at one period fish came up
the Savannah and its tributaries 30
thronged that the backs of the fish pre-.
vented seeing the water. 1t were useless
for fish to be put In those waters, inter.
cepted by dams, &c. Once over the

Democratic Congressional votes from

awakcns numerous newspaper enquiries

would be q bad thing; on the contrary,
we think it would be very good thing
except at this particular juncturc. Now
it seems to US, that it would be most un.
fortunate TO elect Mr.. Randall Speaker
