terrible outcry over a position assumed by the
arcli agitator, Seward, in what that paper calls a
“Revolutionary Speech” at Rochester, wherein
he lays down the position that tho “free labor
system” of the North and the "Slave labor sys
tem" of the South, are in their character and re
sults in such deadly conflict that tlieone can sub

A horrible butchery took place in New York,
last Tuesday night, in which a young^man of
twenty, without assignable motive, assailed
his father’s household with a hatchet, in

girls and then blew out his* own braips. It

For centuries this curious people—their laws,
thcir'religion, and their institutions have been
a scaled book to tlie world; and notwithstan
ding their skill in art, their love of traffic and
barter—favored as they are by nature with the
amplest aids to commerce—their coast studded
with magnificent bays and deep and spacious
harbors, with grand rivers flowing from the un
explored recesses of central Asia, through rich
valleys teeming with a dense and active Agri
cultural population, and bearing an immense
tide of travel and treasure to the sea, still they
have maintained their close and isolated policy,
and with studied care have shut up all /he ave
nues through which any intercourse, either
social, political or commercial, could be main
tained with the “outside barbarians.’
That such a people, with such a government,
so strong, so venerable, containing such exhaust-
less mines of weaitn, and not wanting in any
of the means and appliances to carry on com-
niw-ce in all its branches, should thus stand
stil, unchanged and unchangeable, for thousands
of years—should surround itself with a wall
and actually and forcibly repel all friendly ad
vunccs from other nations, has been a mystery,
an exception—a solitary instance, making a de
fiant monument of tlie anti-progressive system
—in eloquent antagonism to the progressive
Spirit of tho Age.
The restless impulses of trade—the eager
prurient desires of Commerce—the fervent zeal
of enterprise, liavc wrought many changes in
tho world. Steam and lightning are noble aux
iliarirs, and when impelled by Ihe thirst for gold,
are rarely to bo resistcfl. Such has been the
combination of influences, which hare been
brought to hear upon the insulation of China,
and after war had exhausted its force and failed,
diplomacy, ami the pressure of circumstances
have attained the object so greatly to be desired,
and the vast Empire of China will shortly be
o|M-ned to intercourse with Christendom.
England and France, for the last six months,
have been engaged in arranging the details of
a touimercial treaty with tlie Ambassador of
the Chinese Emperor, and our Government
not unmindful of the many advantages to be de
rived from an equal participation in iLs trade and
traffic, has been careful to have at Canton, near
the scene of negotiation, a representative of her
interests, to watch and seize the opportune mo
ment when the United States could be permitted
to avail themselves of all the privileges and im
muniticn allowed to the most favored nations.
Mr. Reed has negotiated a treaty on highly
therefore ephemeral, mistake the cause altogeth
er. It is an irrepresible conflict between oppos
ing and enduring forces, and it means that the
United States must and uiU, sooner or later, be
come either entirely a slaveholding nation, or en
tirely a free-labor nation. Ei filer the cotton
and rico fields of South Carolina and the sugar
ilantations of Louisiana will ultimately be tilled
jy free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans
become marts for legitimate merchandise alone,
or else the rye fields and wheat fields of Massa
chusetts and New York must again be surrend
ered by their fanners to slave culture and to the
induction of slaves, and Boston and New York
jccomc once more markets for trade in the
bodies and souls of men. It is the failure to
apprehend this great troth that induces so many
unsuccessful attempts at final compromise be-
between the slave and free State, and it is the
existence of this great fact that renders all such
pretended compromises, when made, vain and
ephemeral."
Now, as senseless and abominable as is this in
cendiary doctrine, the Herald’s alarm about it,
as some new dovclopcment of progressive free-
soilism, is all affectation. It is an old doctrine
with Seward—it is the comer stono of tho Black
Republican Creed—it is thebaaison which they
propose to rear their edifice of political power
and supremacy in this Republic—it is Q10 doc
trine which coalescing Northern Americanism is
lending aid to establish—and it is the monstrous
and bloody-thirsty dogma which Southern Amer
icanism will not help tho democracy of tlie na
tion to confront ami put down. Furthermore,
we affirm, that it is the precise position, laid
down in all its horrid and monstrous atrocity, by
Lincoln in Illinois, when he defined his politi
cal attitude before the Springfield Convention
which nominated him as a candidate for the U.
S. Senate from Illinois ; and it was the main one
confronted, exposed and denounced by Douglas
in his first speech at Chicago, duringthc present
canvass. And though Lincoln has, since that
time, been forced to crawfish a little under the
weighty logic of hisantagonist, we assert that it
is still his substantial position, and that of his
supporters, and if he comes to tlie United States
Senate, it will be as the supporter of this dog-
nuiand tho true exponent of a party holding to it
in all its length, breadth and logical sequences.
The Herald's sobs and tears, are rather late.—
That Snake has lain in deadly coil in the Black
Republican turf ever since tlie party bail exist
ence. That paper says that if Ncw-York could
be canvassed in opposition to this doctrine, Sew
ard A Co. would receive their death-blow. Bah!
They have grown fat on it, like rata on offal ;
and we confess to a feeling of disgust when we
sec the Herald for thofirsttime discovering that
the North and South cannot long travel togeth-
nnsuch a doctrine—that it iaa simple propo
sition to make the Sou th a San Domingo at the
behests of a party of Northern Sans-Culiottcs
reckless as Danton or Robespierre. Odd sur
prises are all these for the Napoleon of American
Journalism to lie caught iu!
And is it passible so astute a miml as Seward's

Black Republicans can mouth it for negro civil
and social equality—they can howl about the
Dred Scott decision, and blubber about African
slavery till the “last day in the morning”—but
when they come to a practical illustration of
their negro equality doctrines, they balk con-
sumedly. Some few straight-out rod flannel
abolitionists will be consistent and go tlie equal
ity doctrine to the point of amalgamation; but
the mass even of the most mouthy abolitionists
will recoil from a negro as from a black snake,
and feel no more real concern about him, and
what they call his “wrongs," than they do about
Beelzebub. Their abolitionism is mere hypo
critical cant—political humbug—the suggev
tion of sectional jealousy or demagqgucism.—
They howl by the hour over the Dred Scolt de
cision, and in defenceof negro equality, and per
haps the next hour are driving some poor free
negro out of his scat in a car, steamboat or om
nibus by way of a practical illustration of ne
gro equality. The negro, they say, is a “ man

ride in a Kail Road Car, in one of the streets of
New York, they raise a row and put him out,
and stand a law suit rather than “ride with a

Agricultural College and “Book
FARMING/'
1 The Atlanta Daily Intelligencer announces
t that at a meeting of the Southern Central Ag
ricultural Society held during the late Fair, it
was agreed to memorialize the Legislature of
• Georgia on the subject of establishing an agri
cultural College at that place. Tlie Intelligen
cer presents the case thus:—
“An institution designed and prepared for this
specific purpose, is now a great desideratum in the
educational wants of the people of Georgia. It
has long been a a evil of a serious character, that
our young men, who have had the advantages of
a liberal education, have been too much inclined
to embark in the legal, medical or mercantile pro
fessions. A young man heretofore, has been, and
even now is, considered as “burying his talent,”
who after passing through the formula of u colle
giate education settles down on a farm, and em
ploys his time in making corn, cotton, peas, wheat,
oats and potatoes. This ought not so to be. Place
the business of agriculture among tlie learned pro
fessions—make it, in tlie public estimation, as it
deserves to be, the most honorable of all pursuits
and our catalogue of Doctors, Lawyers and Mer
chants, would be decimated. All these last nam
ed avocations are crowded to repletion—hence so
mafljr disastrous failures among tills class of onr
citizens. The business of Agriculture in this coun
try. never has and never can he overcrowded for
tlie next two centuries. Tho policy of onr people
should be against the encouragement of what is
termed the learned professions and in favor of the
avocation of agriculture. Under this view of the
subject, we cannot too earnestly i isist upon the
rigorous prosecution of the enterprise recommen
ded by the Agricultural Society: The location of
such an institution at this place we consider high
ly appropriate.”
We differ with our friends of the Intelligen
cer about the “appropriateness" ofthe proposed
location. Town lots would make up a costly
experimental plantation, and our idea would be,
if the State is to embark in this business, to lo
cate tlie farm down in Ware county, and bring
into requisition the rich bottoms of the Okcfc-
noke, which already belong to the State and
have been demonstrated by surveys under State
mthority to be susceptible of drainage. .Here,
we beg leave to suggest, should the State wish
to embark in the Agricultural business, she has
ample scope and opportunity. She might em
ploy a corps of scientific men to give direction,
1 and receive pupils gratis on the ordinary condi
tion of bringing with thqm the material appli
ances of education, which in this case, beside
books, towc-Lsand a spoon, would include each a
stout negro to conduct tlie lalwrious experiments
of tlie faculty and pupils. Tims, without other
expense to the State than the salaries of the
Faculty or overseers, avast plantation might be
opened, which should produce immense annual
crops of the great staple, besides developing the
superior advantages of “Book Fanningand
with much less than the Intelligencer’s partiali
ty for this kind of Agriculture, we say, with
faithful toil all round, the t tkefeiinkc Book Fann,
conducted on these principles, ought to lie a
paying institution. W« submit our plan to the
Central Committee and the Intelligencer in the
humble hope that it \j_ill not escape attention.
But if they still insist ujioii nn e\]ierimeiital
plantation in Atlanta, we shall then go for res
tricting State investments of this character to
the single agricultural professorship already es
tablished in the Georgia University. Dr. Dan
iel Lee is an excellent scientific and practical
agriculturist, audit will lie time enough, for the
State to add other foundations and professor
ships of Agriculture, when she shall see that
favorable terms—this treaty will, without doubt, can seriously fall into such wicked heresies ?~
be ratified, and China will soon he open to Anier-
can industry and enterprise.
In our judgment, this treaty is the beginning
of a new era in the history of American C-om-
ni'.-rce. It was a striking coincidence that the
first and only news message borne by the light
ning over the Atlantic Cable, should be the
startling announcement that peace and a treaty
luid been made with China. What the results
of this grand event in the world’s history will lie,
no one can tell; but even now, we see our own
great staple in the face of our unprecedented re
ceipts, maintaining a high price and steady de
mand, caused by the estimates of increased con
sumption, growing^ out of the wants of China.
The extent and amount of this consumption can
not now be measured; but whatever it is, we
are rejoiced to see tmil mu »-
termined not to abate any effort in securing to
oar people their full share of the golden ventures
of the Orient, and hence our diplomatic relations
with China are justly considered to be of the
greatest magnitude.
In the nrfoetton, therefore, of a Reprvscnta-1
tive, great care has been taken to secure tho ser
vices of those only who were fully competent to <
lischarge the varied and important duties of the
mission.
Cotton and Tobacco are Southern staples, and
their consumption will be largely increased by
the wants of the Eastern world, and it is judi
cious and proper that a Southern Statesman
should be chosen to represent us, who will look
closely to our interest, and give the most favora
ble direction to the immense and valuable trade,
which will grow out of tlie new and interesting
relations with China.
We think the President has been fortunate in
securing the services of Mr. Ward. He is an
eminent lawyer—experienced as a Legislator—
comprehends in all its bearings the trade and
commerce ofthe country—knows the wants of the
people, and we are very sure in this new sphere
of action, will make reputation for himself, and
reflect credit upon the Government which he
has tho honor to represent
Opposition Caucus.
Notwithstanding the opposition of our friends
of the Messenger and Republican, to the caucus
and convention system, a party nomination was
recently made by convention for Solicitor, in
the Flint Circuit, and A. 1>. Hammond, Esq., of
Forsyth, selected. Mr. Hammond is quite a
We say no. We don’t liclieve it possible. He
must sec, what the very founders ofthe Repub

made patent to thecoramoncstundcrstandingliy
the uniform experience of the country ever since.
He must see that our wealth and {tower lie not
in a dull uniformity of labor and production which
he advocates, but in the very opposite condition of
diversity of pursuits, products, and pecuniary
and social interests. It was this very diverse
condition upon which Washington, in his Fare
well Address, predicates the hope of a long and
harmonious union of the States, and its happy re
sult upon the country can now bo seen and ap
preciated in the fact that while the Great West
lies pros trate, the South is able to lift tlie burden
U ic'*nc5taropkfefrtrom her teeming cotton fields.
This diversity of interests naturally contributes
to a general harmony, while a dead level of “free
labor" and free labor products would excite com
petition and antagonism. Not one great inter-
of the South stands nowin real opposition to
interest of the North and West, and vice ver
sa; and it would be impossible to contrive a con
dition of things more favorable to harmony than
that which now exists and has always existed
between the great sections of this Republic.—

Mr. Editor:—The Editor ofthe Columbus
Times, in his issue of the 27th inst., has fallen
into a common error. He regards the money,
that is, the bank notes brought into the State
by the Agents of the South Carolina Banks, as
so much capital added to that in the State. Now,
they do not add one dollar of capital—if they
diil, they would abstract it from the vaults of
thc Carolina banks. What they bring is simp
ly credit, and a credit not half so good as that

spare for reading. In all his writings he con
stantly kept these things in view; content with
doing good, he used no trappings merely to
please, or gain applause. The distinguishing
character of his style is brevity and perspicuity.
He never lost sight of the rule which Horace
gives:
“ Eat brevitate opus ut currat sententia non
Impediat verbis lasins ouerantibus aures.”
In all his writings his words are well chosen,
puref proper to his subject, and precise in their
meaning.
His attitude in the pulpit was graceful and
easy; his action cahn and natural, yet pleasing
and expressive; his voice not lotnl, but clear
and manly ; bis style neat, simple, and per
splouous, and admirably adapted to tlie capaci
ty of his hearers. His discourses, in point of
composition, were extremely different, on differ
ent occasions. His Sermons wore always short;
seldom more thru half hour; sometimes not so
long. His subjects were always well chosen, in
structive and interesting to thc audience, and
well adapted to gain attention and warm the
heart.

law only placed foreign bank agencies upon a foot
ing with other banks of die State, in the way of
taxation, I presume that it was tlie intention of thc
Legislature of 1850 to increase the State tax on
foreign hank agencies. Instead of its doing this,
it actually decreased the State tax on foreign hank
capital 2."i per cent, besides tlie State having to
pav all costs of collection, or tlie receiver's and col
lector’s commissions, which it did not do before.
It is true, that this Act of 1856 did increase the
tax on foreign bank capital, by requiring its agents
umes. Besides these, he wrote many beauti
ful hymns, and gave an infinite number of ex
hortations to the Societies ami Classes. Truly,
he was in “Jaliors more abundantly.” How-
striking are the labors of this great man to those
of some of our hainl-got-time preachers of the
present day; and in his uses oftliis world’s goods

New Cigar Boat.—Wc have recently receiv
ed more information respecting the curious
steamer now licing completed at Baltimore, Mil,
by Messrs. Winans, the distinguished locomo
tive engineers. The hull Is of the form of an
infticnse cigar, 180 fuel long, and It! feet in di
ameter, without keel or flat deck, and is built
very strong, for the purjiose of being driven
through tlie waves. Slie Is to liave neither
masts nor spars, and tlie only thing to lie visi
ble above deck is the smoke-stack and ventila
tor. She is to liave four high-pressure locomo
tive engines, which arc to drive a propeller amid-
ship-v Every }»rt of the vessel is to be of iron,
well braced, and so divided into water-tight com
partments as to lie a life preserver, Jt is expec
ted to lie ready in six weeks, and to make her
first trip to this city, thence to Liverpool. Wc
remember a steamboat that was built by Mr.
Burden, in 18:17 or '38, in Troy, N. Y., having
two huge cigars for tlie hull, and the decks sit
uated above these. It was expected to run very
fast, but wc believe it made one trip, and was
stranded on some of the flats up the Hudson
River. Messrs. Wiuaus’ steamer is undoubted
ly different in principle, but from its form it
must yoll awfully in a heavy sea. It is a mis
take to suppose that it iriil sail through tile
waves smoothly, ))'v think it will be perfectly
unmanageable.—Scientific American.
