Editor??We bade you a temporary adieu in our last communication, at the steamboat landing of this place, and we had hop* ed ere this to have given your readers some further account of this western country ; but you know full well the force of the old and time lmnored maxim, w business before pleasure," to require from us any more than a mere mention of the maxim itself. 13ut to proceed. This is like most of the Western towns. In outside appearance : a rough exterior, but, withal, one of the plensantcst little places that we ever had the fortune to be in. In size, we would com pare it to Edgefield ; the buildings are very much scattered, and in themselves present no pretentions to architectural display. There is only one brick building in the place, and that, Messrs. Editors, is in part occupied by a very intelligent and enterprising journal, the Dcs Arc Citizen. But from this description, you are not to imagine that the town is without enterprise, that it is either dead or dying ; on tho contrary, it is iust recovering from the great anil heavy blows inflicted upon it by the late civil war, when it was occupied by the vandal hordes of the enemy, and almost all ot its then few buildings (for at that time it was but in its infancy) were torn down and removed to De Vall's Bluff, the town next below this, which is built almost entirely of the buildings thus removed from Des Arc, and is, therefore, nothing more nor lees than an offshoot of Des Arc. Bat. Afh>r all wfin? So - f ..HWV IQ IIUI C III lilO I buildings. Tie true, one likes w ell to see in any place some attempt at architectural adornment, and it is pleasing to see a town well laid ofl? with paved streets, handsome store rooms, and palatial private residences, with grounds beautified and adorned by flowers and shrub bery ; we say this is all very pleasant to the cultivated taste and eye, and may do in an old State, but in a new country like this, the people have no time for this sort of thing, however much inclination there may be: they are all too deeply immersed in business to attend to it; and 1 venture to assert, Messrs. Editors, that there is more busi ? noes uone in ttie town of Des Arc, than any city or town in our old State, outside of Charleston. Why, airs,- last year, from this point, between ten and eleren thousand bales of cotton were sold and shipped, and this year the amount sold will be largely in exoess of last year, because there has been more of the staple produced. There is an area of country of sixty square miles, to back the town, rich and fertile, from which it draws its trade. It is one of the very best shipping points on the river, for large boats can easily approach it at ail seasons of the year, and above this the river is at times too U>w for navigation, except by very small boats. The Texas Valley Ruilroad will cross the river at Dos Arc, so that everything tends to the future growth and prosper! a.. *L ? tv ui ino piace. I He peace, quiet and morality Were is remarkable You are awar^ Messrs. Editors, that the Western towns, and par* ticularly the towns ot this State, have borne a not very enviable reputation for either of the above mentioned qualities. In our State, we have always connected the name of Arkansas with the bowio knife, and in the estimation of some )>ersons they are inseparable; but it is a gross error, and, indeed, we might say a calumniation, fbr in the whole State of South Carolina, and ? we blush to say it, you cannot find a town, that will compare favorably with the town of A rn in ???? * - - 1 ' ?-? v, in *|uiui, Boonecy or morality. But these are not the only advantages that this town has. Hero the Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians, each have a house of worship, and last but not least, here is located not only one ot the finest, best managed, and best disciplined high schools in this State, but one of the best in any State, with a curriculum that would do honor to any institution. It is under the management and control of Messrs. Greenup and Webb. Mr. Greenup is an accomplished son of the great State of Kentucky, and Mr. D. C. Webb is a native son of our own mother South Carolina, a graduate of the Charleston College, a gentleman of refinement and high scholarly attainments, and one well calculated to reflect honor not only upon his Alma Mater, but also upon the State which gave him birth. These gentlemen, with a highly competent corps of assistants, conduct ti?e school upon the Prusian system, which is one of the most thorough and complete that we have ever seen. The whole machinery, of the school is like clock work, and'the great liberality with which the school is supported by the people, and the great interest and zeal manifested by them in everything that pertains to the school, speak well tor them. This, then, Messrs. Editors, is one of the greatest advantages that any place can boast of, for where there are good schools, one may rest assured that everything else is proportionately good. In conclusion, lot us remark that we derived unbounded pleasure from the reception and perusal of the Enterprise ; it bore to us the same relation as a letter from home, and we hope In the future regularly to greet its coming. Alt re anon? CIVI6. Will He Succeed. The following article has so much truth and sound practical: sense in it, we give it a prominent place in our editorial pages, and commend it to the careful persnal ot every parent.?Ed. Farmer and Artisan. In nine cases out of ten, no man's life will be a success unless he bears burdens in his childhood. If the fondness or vanity of fatiier or mother has kept him from hard work; it another alwavs helped him out at the end of his row ; if, instead of taking bis turn at pitching off, he moved away all of the time?in short, it what was light always fell to him, and what was heavy about the work, to some one else; if he haa been permitted to shirk till shirking has become a habit? unless a miracle is wrought, his life will be a failure, and the blame will not be half so much his as that of poor, weak, foolish parents. On the other hand, if a boy has been brought up to do his part; never allowed to shirk any legitimate responsibility, or permitted to dodge, work, whether or not it made his back ache or soiled hie hand, until bearing heavy burdens became a matter of pride, the heavy end of the wooo his from choice?parents, as they bid him good bye, may dismiss their fears. His lite will not be a business failure. The elements of success are his, and at some time and in some way the world will recognize his business capacity. Tlake another point. Money is the object of the world's pursuits. It is en object. It gives bread and clothing, end homes end comfort. The world has not judged wholly unwisely when it has made the position a man occupies to hinge more or lees on his ability to earn money, and somewhat upon the amount of his possessions. If he is miserably poor, it either argues some defect in his business ability, # some recklessness io bis expenditures, or s lack of fitness to oope with men in the great battle tor *ld. When a conntry-brea boy le&ves home, it is generally to enter upon some business, the end of which is to acquire property, and he will succeed just in proportion as he has been made to earn and save in childhood. If the money be has had come ot planting a little patch in the Spring, and selling its produce after months of watching and toil in the Fall, or from killing woodchucks at six cents a bead: or from trapping musk rata, ana selling their skins for a shilling r setting ? t-? ?ft ?? ? ounr?8 in me ran lor game,'and walking miles to see them in the morning before old folks were np ; husking corn for a neighbor, moon light evenings, at two cents a bushel ; working out an occasional day that hard work at home has made possible?he is good to make bis pile in the world. On the contrary, if the boy never earned a dollar: if parents and friends always kept him in spending money?pennies to buy candies and fish-hooks, and to satisfy his imagined wants?and he has grown to manhood in the expectancy that the world will generally treat him with a similar consideration, he will always be a make shift; and the fault is not so much his as those about him, who never made the boy depend on himself?did not make him wait six months to get money to replace a lost jack-knife. Everybody has to rough it at one time or another. If roughing comes in boyhood, it does good ; if later, when habits are formed, it is equally tough, but not being educational, is entirely useless. And the question whether a young man will succeed in making money or not, depends not upon wherq he goes or what he do?6, but npon his willingness to do 44 his part," and upon Lis having earned money, and so gained a knowledge of its worth. Not a little <>f this valuable experience and knowledge the country boy gets on the old farm, under the tutelage of parents shrewd enough to see the end from the beginiug, and to make the labor and cripf (if oliilltran - q- -w- v vmovivu wl,fcl 4" buto to the success of subsequent life.?Hearth and Home. ?

What is Bast in Wheat 1 It is a small, microscopic plant or fungus, the seeds of which are distributed through the sap pores. These seeds produce y?>un? plants under the epidermis or skin of the wheat?which they swell and burst in longitudinal 6lits all over the plant. These little plants may be distinctly seen by means of a pow erful microscope, in all stages of their development?from the numerous little ronnd regular heads, seen beneath the transparent and unbroken epidermis, to the contused moss after they have broken through and scattered their fine powder over the whole surface.? In favorable weather, ami in good wheat fields, rust makes but little | progress, and does little or no harm; but when the weather sud-| dcnly becomes hot and moist, ite attacks are often fatal to the crop. The growth of the grain is at once arrested, and if the crop is struck before the grain has formed, it will not be worth cutting. If partly tormod, it will bo more or less injured. Wheat growing on low, wet, musky soil is generally more liable to rust than on hard upland, but cases not unfrcquently occur when it appears in belts or streaks, in the directions of prevailing winds, blighting alike every field of wheat, whether high or low, in its track. The remedy for rust is sowing on dry or well drained soil, which is rich enough to push the crop on and cause Jt to rij>en early, l>eyond the reach of its attacks.?
