Excerpt from Original Communications Made to the Agricultural Society of South-Carolina; And Extracts From Select Authors on Agriculture: Published by Order of the Society The afliictive dispensations, with which it has pleased divine pro vidence to visit us during the present year, are calculated to-excite our tenderest sympathies. Whilst in the city, the arrow dieth by day and pestilen'ce walketh in darkness; whilst we have been fre quently called to mourn over the victims of ruthless and loathsome disease; in the country, our dwellings have been shattered by the raging tempest, and the hopes of the farmer have been blasted by the destroying flood. Indeed, unusual distress prevails throughout the land, and we may truly say, republica est afiz'cta. Bowing with becoming submission to the divine will, let us be thankful to the God of mercy; that there is one drop, one cordial drop of hope, to cheer as amidst our distresses, and that we have still reserved to us our intelli gence and industry. The genius of Carolina, beholds with pride and exultation, the rapid strides with which her sister states are marching to the complete fulfilment of the high destinies which seem to await them - she hopes that the sun of prosperity, will long shine on them and if she pauses for a moment to sigh at her present condition, knowing her resources, she springs forward with redoubled energy, and calls upon her sons to assist her in developing them - surely she will not call in vain - Bound to her, by the ties of affection and gratitude, let her misfortunes strengthen 'our attachment - and whilst we venerate the last sentiments that faltered on the qui vering lips of the illustrious pitt - Oh my Country Let us never forget the dying words of Father paul - esto perpetua.
