The Irrepressible Negro. 1
Throughout the- length and 1
breadth of this Southern land, the I
chief disturbing clemeut.?-"spring i
of turaiilt, source of strife"?is tho 1
irrepressible negro. Instead of he- <
ing content yith the situation for 1
which the <3od of nature intended ]
him, he is striving to reverse all '
of its laws, and to tqaintain Him- *
pelf in positions, iu which all the 1
factitious agencies of Radicalism (
cannot sustain him? obtrudiug i
JiimscliF into places where he is most
unwelcome, and attempting the dia- '
charge of duties for ^hich he is
entirely unfitted. Born to be a
servant, he >3 not even content with
equality, but seeks to be a master. 1
hew^er of wood and drawer pf .
^vater"?this and nothing more?he; 1
aspires to be a maker of laws, and
idispeuser of justice; to rule the for- '
mer raastei^ arid to direct ttye march

The Ootton Supply?American and Foreign
Production.
An able report was presented to the
late Memphis Conven lion, oh tbc subject
of the world's cotton supply, and
the question of labor and immigration,
which gives a very hopeful view
Df the future of tlio cotton culture
here and tho maintenance of tho prosant
high prices.
The report shows clcarly that in the
East Indie?, owing to a difficulty in
obtaining any tonure of the soil, the
insufficient transportation, tho tropical
climate, and other causes, the
production has 6teadily decreased
from 1,840 648 bales in 18CG to 1,420,576
in 1868, and is still decreasing.
In Egypt as great difficulties exist
and whilst in 1864-5 tho 3-ield was
404,411 bales, last year only i93,035
wero im^ortcfi into Great Britrin.
from tho "West Indies and South
America, tho supply only reachcs
% fbw hundred thousand bales, and
the annual incr-easo is so small that it
;annot amount to much.
Another consideration which must
lion ?? 1 ? " *^ 4 ?- *
vuiiuuw tnu vuiue 01 American
jotton 18 this?that whilst several
parts of the world supply the long
staple" and India furnish enormous
qualities of tho "short staple," the
United States produce the "medium-,"
md most necessary kinds, which are
ised almost entirely for the warp or
>x(Onded threads, the warp or filling
jeing of other and less ct ,.y grades.
The disproportion which the presmt
production bears to consumption

thirteen thousand dollars in commercial
manures \vtih great profit, and
who, iu the midst of bis extensive operations,
lias found time, by judicious
selections and crosses, to introduce
the best cotton seed in America."
Labor is the great desideratum, and
tjieso are the inducements which yrc
offer to the immigrant:
"Improved lands can now be had in
any of the cotton Stntes at prices varying
from ono to five pounds sterling?five
to twenty-fivp dollars?per

Postmaster, vice II. W. Lawson, i*emoved."
The foregoing paragraph which we
extract from the Charleston Courier,
announces a change in the Post-office
at this place, which is as unpleasant
as it was unexpected. ]^Ir. Lawson
was emphatically "tho right man in
the right place," universal!}' popular,
and as acccptablc to the Macks as to tho
whites. As an evidencp of this, we
may adduce the fact, that only a few
months since, when there were vague
intimations of the removal of our postmaster,
the blacks voluntarily got up
a petition in his behalf praying his
continuance in office. And if qualification
for office could ensure it, he
would be our postmaster still. lie is
a man of integrity, liberal, patient,
pairs-taking and obliging.. If.there
is a man in our community or elsewhere,
who is his superior in tho possession
of these qualities, wo would be

ON THE MEND
and new evidence of the excellence of
this town have developed themselves
since my last communication. The
argument in support of this assertion
is after this fashion: as an individual
is never wiser or better, than when he
knows his icnoraneo or denravitv. bo
w A / '
it is villi a community; when it knows
and acknowledges its guilt, it is the
best evidence ofenlightonod conscience
and is apt to repent; but as fallible
creaturcs we are prono to extremes,
and are therefore admonished not to
bo "righteous overmuch." Such extremists
you will find in every community,
even the best, and serve only
to prove, rb exceptions, tho moral toue
of tho mass.
In your last i6Buc one of these unfortunate
creaturcs reveals himself.
A pliarisee after tho strictest sect of
the pharisees, ho can see no excellence
in any thing but himself. Evcu the
most innocent amusemonts, a merry
laugh or a smile are, evidences to his
conscience that the town is a pandemonium?a
doomed Sodom, and all
church privileges and educational facilities
are false synonyms of vice and
pravity. He says "much is wanted to
be quickly done" in our neighboring
towns of Ninety-six and Cokesbury?
a "big job of it"?and unless "moralized
iu6tanter" they are irretrievably
lost. Glad we are not worse than
they. Upon certain grave issues,
