And it is said Wimbush may not recover. The Ilrgister. We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from Mr. K. S. Marks, traveling aire lit of the licfjistir. We trust that (Hn citifcons will do themselves and the paner some good by subscribing for the Rcghhr which is always alive to the be-st interests of the country. Tiik eyes of the people of Abbeville * county never before looked upon as large lields, or as good crops, of small grain, as may be seen here now. The promise now is simply beyond computation, and with no untoward event, we will have more oats than wc will be able to cut and save, or if saved, we will not have places to house them. Many farmers will probably make enough to last them for years. A Dkmaxd for Si-:i:b.?We have had enquiries for seed oats from Mr. W. N. Hansom's fields in Magnolia. The notice of his line crop seems to have set our people crazy on the subject Of getting his seed, but we would say that we have none on hand, it mitrltr Km fluif h<* would sell some this Fall, but at present it is useless to apply. Fatal Accidkxt.?Benjaman Louis Watkins, son of Ii. H. Watkiis, of .New Orleans, accidentally Ml into a vat of boiling water, a week or two! ago, at the ice manufuctury, and died in a few hours from his injuries, the deceased was a nephew of Mr. C. I). Wat kins of this county. The local papers give most touching accounts of the sad afl'air. We are glad to notice that our merchants will close their stores Ht six o'clock in the afternoon, during thej Summer. This plan will give relief to ' everybody, and a reasonable time for; recreation. Uemember that on the 22d instant, the stores will be closed at six o'clock, j and every afternoon thereafter, until (September 1st. TunSpring weather has been pronit'ions. and our farmers have worked , witli unusual energy. Result, till the j Cotton is planted, and much corn laud 1m either planted, or is ready for the grain and the outlook in 188- for successful agricultural operations have, not been better for years. Beautiful Strawueiiries.?

Gentlemen?This closes tho second year since the commencement of Work on tho line of this road.

On 1st August 1SS1 work was com! mcnccd on the line between Troy and i Abbeville C. JIM and continued with a force varying from 20 to .'i0 hirered labourers until the present time; 10 miles of i grading arc completed on this division laud the.i yet remains a fraetian over mdoa ungraded to complete the worki as far as Abbeville, C. II. I The amendments to the Charter extend-! ing the line through the counties of Ab-j bcville And Edgetield necessitated experimental surveys through these sections. burimr the Summer and Fall of 118S1 these surveys were made from Helton via Due West, Abbeville, C. 11., and j Troy to Edgefield C.

X Cochran then read the following: report: (i'ent(e?ien of the Convention : In conseqlicence of the lamented death of your j President, Major XV. K. Bradley, I have! been the acting President of your road i | since the sixth of January last; Whilst; oppressed with the high responsibility! imposed, and with inv inexperience onj the,subject of railroads and their construction, I have given you my lindtvid-j led energy and best ability in the dis-j charge of my duty. Through the energy and efficiency of! your General Superintedont and Chief' Engineer tbe work has progressed beyond all expectation with the limited means at hand to accomplish it. The failure of, the last crop made it difficult to collect! subscriptions and find the means to con-j tinue the work, but by dint of persovor- [ , Alice It has been done. When I assumed I control of the road as President we were at j work near Long Cano in the direction I from Troy to Abbeville with about 20 i hands (hired laborers) which has bctnl about the average number kept at Work i since. We have graded now to within I about6j miles of Abbeville, C. If., a dis-i lance 4} miles since the lotti .January, j Notwithstanding the continuous bad j weather of January and Febuary, this) work has been accomplished with anj economy of expenditure unprecedented J in railroad work when it is asserted that' tho work is all first-class including the! location of line and character of the irrad-1 ing. The amount and character of the | work and expenditures will bo set forth j in detail by the report of the Chief Engl- j neer, which I hope will give general satisfaction as to the present condition and ] management of the road. We have not succeeded in all instances | in obtaining the Kightof Way. Professed j lovers of the enterprise from whom we ieast expected opposition, are in some! cases refusing to grant the right. This: trouble in most instances, however, may | be obtained in the final location (consis-l tentlv with economy) by cham;in^ the j line upon lands of those whose unselfishness and enlightened liberality enable! them to appreciate the advantages of a ; railroad. As to the future prospects of the road ; much might be said. Of humble preten-j sion in its origin it was lirst chartered as j the Helton, Williaftiston and Easley road; j now it reaches out its feelers from the] South Atlantic, to the Mississippi and the: Lakes. Immediately upon myassump-i tion of the duties of President" a negotiation was entered into _witli t'iS "Messrs: (fiver,-trf-rrfcW York, lor the t construction ami completion of our line| of road through the State of South Caro- i iiua to the North Carolina line. That con-; tract was consummated and signed by! order of your direction on the 17th January last, '^ho contract will be read to; yon and will explain itself better than < any comments of mine can do. We havej every reason to believe that this contract will be carried out in good faith. Atid i that it will not be long until the rumbling | of the cars will.be heard through the; Estatoc gap, the echo do%vn through the mountain caves and across these planes to: the "City by the Sea," and mako Charles-! ton indeed, what she has heretofore been i called, the "Queen City of the iionth," of which we will all be proud as the metro- f polisof our State. But if Charleston shall prove reticent and unappreeiative as to; this road, our Charter gives us an easy; convenience of Foot Point or Port Royal, where there is never-failing deep-water without Congressional appropriations or artificial applicances. By way of explain- j ing the connections and advantages pro- j posed by this contract of construction, and the great system of railroads to be eonsoli- ( dated under it, I have seen proper to ex-, tract an editorial from the Morristown, ^iciiuus^u; Hiiiuu.^va "The contract just closed for the on-j struction of the Cumberland Railway of Kentucky,from tho connection with the! Morristown Cumberland Gap and Ohio: Railroad at the Cumberland Mountain, by I way of Pineville and Barbonrvillc, to) connect with tlie Knoxville branch of the j Louisville and Xsshville railroad, com-1 p4etes the link of a through line from I connections on the North with tho rail-! way system of Kentucky to Aiken South' South Carolina, making direct connection with the railroads in that State for the cities of Charleston, Savannah, Port RoyaK Aitgusta, etc. Tnis system of rail-: roads is composed of the following roads : j Cumberland railway of Kentucky. 50j miles; Cumberland Gap, Morristown and Ohio railroad of Tennessee, 4"> miles; J North Carolina roil road, (5o miles ; Atlan-1 tic and French Broad railroad of South Carolina, 129 miles; Edgefield Trenton j and Aiken railroad South Carolina, 31 i miles ; total uilles 308. I All of which are now under contract with tho distinct understanding that | those several lines arc to bo consolidated ! J under one name and management. This | will bo done in a very short time. The] conditions of the contract are that the en-j tiro lino shall be completed on or before December 31, 188-1. Every ono familiar with this section of the country can at once see the advantages this short line from thecoal fields of Kentucky to the Southeastern seacost will do ! more for the country .through which it j passes, and will do more for the country I I than any line now built or proposed to be J i built. Besides it will pay a handsome it- i ; turn to the capitalist that are investing in | , this really national line of railroad. It is thus seen that our enterprise is looked | upon by the intelligent world as a magnitieenf scheme, superior to any lino now built or proposed to be built. And so it j j is, running as it does across the entire ' Appalachian chain of mountains through the richest resources of North Carolina, ! Tennessee, and Kentucky, and opening up the shortest line to deep waterf stretch-' I ing out by its connections to the Mississ- j 1 ippi Valley and embracing all the great! j railroad centres of the Northwest, Cincin-1 | nati, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, I ! Nashville, Knoxvillc <&c., all of which, I I with the exception, perhaps, of Chicago, I I being nearer to Charleston by this line] than to the city of New York, insures the j | varied products of this immense country to roll down through this great artery of j trade to the sea, and murks it as the grani desst enterprise to day upon the Amerii can map. I The best engineering skill of tbecoun! try assures us that it is easily practicable !at<t grade of not over 75 feet, to the mile, with no tunneling, but simply a cut of, I not exceeding 30 feet at Estatoe gap to let us through the Blue Ridge, heretofore regarded an impassible barrier, i We certainly live in the most progress- j Ivo age of the world. Sorno of us will I live to see the raw cotton from the pick-) ; ing, sack ginned and spun by a single process. Atlanta has demonstrated the rich resources, the enlightened advancement and promised wealth and grandeur of the new South. Surely with so many avenues opened up to wealth and so manv ! stimulated to progress, our people will not be found wanting in the energy and j nerve to insue success in this enterprise. I think, gentlemen, those of you who may have been impatient or over-jealous, ; as to the completion of this great work, ought rather to be cheerful at the prospect I before us. Your road will be built. | Necessity will build it.

Having received .several letters from parties in your immediate section of tlie State, as well as some from other parts of the State, making inquiry about South Florida and the orange culture ?fcc. I heir that you alow me space in your valuable paper to reply to their inquiries and as far .as practicable tiive a detailed state- j tnentof matters relating thereto. A party of three of us left this place early in April with the intention of exploring the southern part of the Suite, 011 the Gulf coast.* Tho St. John's and Indian river's side of thO State having already been Worked up and reported* fully through the press. From this plaeo to Orap&c Lake, in Marionn county, tho traveller sees nothing but flat wet laMls, with an occasional high place for a small lield, which is generally planted in corn and potatoes, with a few orange trees. At Orange Lake the traveller is at once in the midst of the largest bearing grove in the State?the Harris <fc Bishop grove, which is said to contain one hundred acres in bearing trees; the grovo is not a fancy one, we learned that it was an original "sour grove," and has been budded with the sweet buds. There is no shape to the grove, trees irregular. We learned from ? " - <1 ? I-!- <!./> ,.?f nmlllo I ,\J r. Hill l lB kllilb 1119 mill Ml HIV. i.w from this grove was $1,000. From this point to Oeala W3 saw nothing worth { mentioning, save the famous Silver j Springs, which we believe, is one, if not I the principal source of the Ocluwaha | river. The lands near Oeala were fat J better than anything we had seen and here also wo saw somo very line groves, wo found lands here very high, some owners having the "cheek" to ask from 50 to 75 dollars for unfinished lands. From this place we went into Sumpter j county, here we found all kinds of lands,; though no larger bodies of good land,! but the largest kind of bodies of the' poorest that we have ever yet seen, but ' here too they are up iu pike's, not much j good land to put a big price on, so they j put it on the poor, for which they goner- j ally asked ?10 to ?15 per acre, for lands: that look like a man would have to be de* I inented to agree to pay the tax for ten miles square. In this country we saw some very fine Lakes, which all abound with fish of all varieties, though they are not sought after here. Deer arc also plentiful, all of these gifts of nature are but little appreciated. The population with but few exceptions j belong to that branch of Adams race that i do not work who by severe study and close observation have learned to livej without?"sweat of the brow" is in the j back ground here. From hero we journeyed into Hernan- | da county, and went immediately into the town ol' lirooksville. here we n.et the! Marshall hoy's, ami others from different | ^>cWTTT!WiC?&ur State. Tls:?.?o\yp has J about 2."j0 inhabitnirttf,- Wifli schools ami ( shu relies. There have been tii'ty-onc (ami-' lies moved into this place in the last ! four months. The lands in this section I differ from any we saw in the State. Brooksville is on a hi-li hill surrounded by the best hammock lands we have ever; seen?we walked out in the surburbs of j the town, one of onr party, stopped looked j around ami said, "boys this is the first time ' I'have seen the Blue Ridge mountains: since I left Virginia." The hills loom up 1 in the distance until the town seems to | be in a mountainous country the contrast j is so great to come out of the lo\V Hat j poor lands into this hilly country, here the lands arc ricli almost beyond deserip-1 tion we sa\y here corn that was in the) roasting ears that looked as if it would ; make 40 or f>0 bushels to tho acre and j about 15 or 20 barrels syrup, all the| natural land, these good land extend to Christian river, a distance of about 301 miles, and is about 12 miles in width. In ] this dense forest of good lands you will I occasionally see a prairie of about 1,000 ] aires tilled with fat cattle and sheep with j a few hogs and a large quantity of marsh ' ponies, these ponies are raised here in j large numuers, never uuiu^ umuereu uu-i till they arc three years old. When they j are carried oil' and sold, they usually j bring $00 per head. Wo were better i pleased with thi* section than any wo saw ! for the following reason's. 1st*. It was! below the frost line. 2nd. Tho lands are I rich. 3nd. Orange-groves will not have I to be fertilized. 4th. Vegatables can bo j raised here at all seasons. The lands j being rich, the climate adapted to them, : they can be put on the market earlier | than from other points. As soon a.s trans- j pertation can be had. The traveler by public conveyance has to stage IS miles to reach Brownsville, hence they do notj get that far down in great numbers, like it is on the Lakes, and St. John's riven Lands on the lakes and the two rivers, we found to be worth from to ?"><J per acre, and we did not think them onefourth as productive as tho Nutguluga hammock, which can be bought for about ?10 per acre, a little oil' from the town. There are two railroads heading from Hrooksville. One is now about 28 miles from there and the other is as yet soinej distance, how far wo did not learn, but when these roads reach there and searchers | of good lands see what is there, then we| shall see the "bigest boom" in lands that has occurred in Florida for a long time, j At IJrooksville the traveler will see a] curiosity by culling on C'ol. Congler, a native of your State, here ho will see a live acre orange grove, eight years old that ho refused this past winter $4,000, he will also see the Palm, a variety of that species that bears fruit, he said he bought the fruit from a vessel from the coast of Africa, he said the fruit had three seeds, each the size of a common orange, the fruit therefore must weigh, aeveral pounds, here also can be seen the cainot. the fruit of which is abont twice the size of an orange, it is pulled like a banana, and melts in tlie mouth like icecream, leaving no pulp in the mouth, he also had a plot of ground in river apples, some in j all stages. We noticed blooms and ripe | fruit, showing they are growing, bearing] and maturing all at the same time audi place. There wo saw 43 tropical and j semitropical fruits. He said that he had repeatedly tried tho coffee plant, but in I every instance had failed, and, does not. think that it can be successfully raised itl Florida. I omitted to state that tho Paltn tree above rcfered to was tho only one of that I variety that was growing in tho United' States. W. S. llaucoek, of Newberry is I keeping hotel in the town, and is a gentle-! man of the South Carolina stripe, at whose j hands we received many acts of kindness. I would advise parties who go thero to look after tho lands for a home to call on I him, as ho is well acquainted in tho | country, and can give some sound ad vice. The natives in this county, hkoi in Sumpter, do tho very smallest | amount of work that is known to the human family whore by subsistence may j be derived. I will give an instance, wo told the stable man in BrOoksville we | wanted a team early ucxt morning, "all j | right" hesaid, we called atsunrise but the | boy at tho stable told us, that tho owner did not get up until nine, but by special act of irrace ho got us off at 8A o'clock. Leaving Hernando, county, went over into the lako regions on the Acklawaha I river. Lusburg wo found to bo quite a thriving little town, it is on the banks of Lake Harris, this Lako is lb miles long by 12 wide ; here we saw a great man}' very fine groves that are bearing, and the lands seemed to bo very fair in soil, but lands not cleared upareheliat such figures that it is impossible for the orange farmer to buy. This lake connects with Lake Eustis, bv Dead river which is about two-luiLdred yards in length, by about ! - - fifty yards in \? idtli. We found Lakei I Kustos to be about 12 miles in length by about seven in width. The lands and;, price about the samo as tho other Lake I lands. After leaving tho lakes and get* j ting to the St. John's we found things ! nearly the same, getting oil' the river we ; found lands to be vory poor, and higher j than at any other points wo had boon, so we abandoned the idea of looking any : father and turned homeward. I am often asked, w iat can a man do in Florida, in reply will say that he can lind ! ] ! more to do that will pay him better than < j any country I ever saw. It is my opinion that any man that can get to llernauI do county with money enough to miv forty acres of good land that he can by I using one-half the industry lie has to use I in your country to keep up, can in eight years be worth ?'20,000 dollars, this I ' know many will say is too large, but it is reasonable, lie can do this by setting! : out 10 acres in ehuige trees, giving them! proper attention, and planting corn, cain 1 j potatoes and sea island cotton, then ho' , can make vegetables to get what money he may need, far surpassing the cotton i j crop that he has to make at home. One man at Ft. Mason said that lie had al-| ivadv realised from one acre planted j in tomatoes, at that date (April 21st,) Ij saw anot her party who said that he would | ! make SCO worth "of beans on about \ ofi an acre. When tlioy got transportation j ; to Rrooksville, I think tho iinest country) 1 for lVuit ami vegetables will bo opened i lip that is known to the tillers of tho soil. 1 j I have tried to give a faithful doserip- j tion of that part of the country, but in every case would advise people to go and j ; see for themselves.

Everything is in read in ess for the' assemblage of the Convention and last j Might the.lirst delegates arrived on the (J. and U. and Air Line Itailroads, all I of them being met by sub-committees j on hospitality, and shown to the residences to which they were assigned. Among the arrivals last night were, Hon J. C. C. Black, of Augusta, Ga.; Col. J>. \V. Edwards, President of the State Baptist Convention, Darlington ; He v. J. H. Chambliss, Charleston and Alderman Wm. Thaver of the city. Nearly all these gentlemen are members of the Hoard of Trustees of the Baptist Theological Seminary, and will, as announced on Saturday, meet at the Baptist Church to-morrow afternoon, when business pertaining exclusively to the Seminary will he dis cussed. Altogether there are about sixty members of this board, but only about thirty will be present hero. Most of the delegates will arrive by ' to-iiight, and to-morrow, the conven-jj tion will meet at ten o'clock au J the j important business to be considered will he taken up. To-morrow evening Dr. 'J'. T. Eaton, of Louisville will!, preach, and a most eloquent sermon jx I. looked for. i Independents. The Independents arc the most servile al'ies of the Republican party. They are only independent of tlic Democratic party and of the intelligence and honesty of South Carolina. They are independent enough to abuse, viHify, malign and traduce the Democratic party, but not independent enough to even critcise the infamies of Republicanism. They talk , glibly enough about the iniquities of the' J stock law, the registration law and the | extravagnces of the Democrats, and, in . the absence of truth to sustain them, tery complacently manufacture their stores entire, or distort and magnify] things to suit their purposes, t)iit It will j be noticed they have very little to say about tile rings which cursed this State Under Republicanism, or about the defalcations and tho crimes of Radicalism. To hear thoin talk, or to read their effusions, one would imagine that the Dem- ? ocrats are all devils and tho Republicans J are all saints. They are only independent of truth and honor. Professing to be t.'ue Carolinians they stand by and see the most infamous prostitution of the 1 courts for tho purpoess of .'ho RoouhLH J i v?rt'ir,?v oiipii not their 11 month. They see white men of charae- * ter and intelligence made to stfnd aside and negroes, partisan, peijudiced, ignorant, and in some cases corrupt, put on juries to convict Carolinians tor the political purposes of the 1U publican party, i and yet they are so independent that they J do not speak ont to denounce it, as ail fair-minded men must do. Froitl such independent men we (!an only trust that South Carolina may bo now and forever delivered.?Anderson Intcllergent. j ? ? ti The American Farmer For May 1st. is a .number of great excellence, and its leading article, the i Prize Essay by Dr. M. O. Elzey, of j I Virginia, on the advantage of raising is improved farm live stofek in the pres-i ent state of agriculture, will be read j. with much interest and profit. The, Farmer devotes much space to ques-1 tions connected with live stock, fruit ] growing, market gardening, etc., and j| is always alive to new discoveries andi l improvements in the line of agricul-' ture. Its contributors include men of j practical experience, who work daily ' in the several departments on which j > they advise. Dr. Follard, ex-Corn mis-11 sinner of Agriculture of Virginia, con- " tinues his admirable papers on the ngriculture of the South, and the improveinent of lands, and a number of other writers contribute to the instructive variety of this number. A Home Department will please the ladies, and a number of emrravinjrs add interest!' to the text.
