Broom Corn.
^ Wecull special attention to the comomnlca-1
Hon of Mr. Ilendcrson, upon the subject of
planting Broom Corn. It is desirable that this
erop tffiould be grown in abumUuce this year.
We hope our farmers will call upon Messrs.
Foster A J udd, and supply themselves with
eeed, and plant an acre or two, with the view
. of supplying the workincu of Cedar Springs
with straw, so that we may be euppied with
brooms, without satortioaery prices. A new
broom sweeps clean.
Plant Corn.
We hope that every good citisen, who has a
garden spot or unoccupied pioce of ground, i
large enough to spread a blanket upon wi <
turn it to good account this year, by planting i 1
corn or vegetab'c* thereon. Let him not only i
do this himself, but persuade hia neighbors to I
do likewise. If people would geucrally try to I
raiso something?cabbage, corn, butter-beans, <
truatoes, etc., which can be dene on a small I
scale without appreciable trouble, the prices i
of edibles would be kept in more reasonable <
bounds. Therefore, we say, plant coru come- <
where , but plant corn ! So says the Charlee- :
?ob Mercury. <
^ A Good Example.
Several citizens in Abbeville District, have
united in furnishing corn to soldiers' families
at $1 per bushel. The Commissioners of the (
Board of Relief, at their first meeting, ascertained
the number of families that needed aid
fron the Board, was four hundred and fifteen
families. Tho Board resolved to pay to each' j
TamilF $1 per month from the 1st January, j
d&C2. The Commissioner in each Battalion it ,
to ascertain tho necessities of each family, and (
report to the Board for a proper distribution \
ofthofStad. ^
We suppose a similar rule to gevern the CoinA
missiouers of this District, prevails here. t
In those very familioj which have boon re- |
ceiviug corn, we notice u large number of boys ;
wkinK v- *
?.uiu ob jmi iqio tlte corn fiild aud 1 '
kept there through the y?-nr. The sc.-tson has | '
new come to go to work in earnest, and the <lo- J
mend for labor woe never better, end we think j
it is the duty of the Commissioner, when they t
?re giving out corn, to enquire, and ascertain '
if there any boys At homo able to work, and if (
?o, cause them to be put to work or drop the <
name of that family, until every one who ia l
able to work ehall go at it in earnest. No (
idlers ehiuld be permitted to draw their bread ,
from im Commissioners. They will fled in the
large divieien (hoy aro overlooking, a plenty <
% to feel, who a o strictly the objects of their

should be extended?end uo other*. j

The enormous prises at which brooms have
been sold, daring the last year, ere In a great
measure owing to the fact that many of the
factories, if indeed not all of thorn, have been
cempelled to suspend operations for weeks and
eron months together for want of material.
Our climate and soil are admirably adapted to
the growth of this product; whioh may bo easily
raised of exccllont quality, and in quantity
sufficient to enable it to vie with "King Cot*
tou" himself in the profits which it yields. Bo*
sides Uis straw, which may bo sold ot from 8
to 18 coots per pound, or soon more, oooord*
log to its quality and the stole of the market,
the groin or seed does not foil for below the
ordinary yield of inriian corn; and it o valuable
article ol food lor sheep, milch eows and
towls. Our Steward. .Mr. N. F. Walker will
deposit soiuo bushels of seed at the store of
{deaars. Foster At Judd, where it may be hod,
gratis, by any oue who will register his name
and allow the institution to bars tha refusal ot
hie orop at fhe iirkit rates, whatever they
may be 01 the time. Below we glee the method,
in brief, for the cultivat.on of Broom earn1st.
Plant the corn early in Aptil, in rows
about four foot wide, more or less, depending
upon the fertility ot the soil. It Is to bepknted
in the drill precisely os cotton, about three
eights of a bushel of the seed to the aero.
8d. The plow aud boo are to bo used as
though it wore cotton, thinuiug it out with o
broad lioe, and when it it throe or four inohoo
higj thin it by'hand, leaving only two or throo
stalks together according to the strength of
your land, which should not be eery rich,
ot her wise the straw will bo too coarse.
Sd About the first of August, whon the
blossom appears and the straw turns slightly
brown, the stalk must bo bent or turned down
about six iacbes below the straw, which can
readily be done wi'hout breaking it. It is
generally necessary to go through the Arid at
two or three different times; as it dots not all
arrive at sufficient maturity to requre turning
down at once.
4th. In a few weeks from this time, the seed
will become hard nod dry, when the cern
should be cut just at the point at which it was
bent: being careful to do this before it has bocorne
uffeoted with mildew. Then spread it
out in a cool airy place to dry, protected alike
froiu sen and moisture. The seeds may be
stripped off at any loisurc time; tnen the straw
*3 ready for market.
A specimen of the instrument for strippiug
the seed may be scc.i at Messrs. Foster A Judd s
tore, though it tint be constructed in many
uinereai tortus.
The soil should be ..uch ha would produce
good cotton, (not too poor) an 1, if properly
cuitivated, froui 900 to 800 lbs. of straw may
be raised to tho acre.
Many tons of thin material can be raanufac
lured into brooms here annually. We hope
ihat every farmer who can procure 'he seed,
will, from year to yenr, devote several acres
te this prop, until it shall become one of the
itaple products of the District; by so doing
you will subserve the general imerest of the
country, and confer a ; pecittd favor on many
young men, who, though destitute of eight, are
letarminod with their own hands, to earn their
iaily bread.

The Slaughter I'nder Marye'a
Heights.
Gone, indevd, they were, but in what fashion
! A glanoj at the long scope between the
town of Fredericksburg and the foot of Marye's
Heights gave the best idea of tne muguiiuue <?f
the toil wl.icli bad bceu exacted tor their passage
of the Rappahannock. A ride along the
whale length of the lilies told also a sad tine of
slaughter, but w en the eye had oner rested
upon the fatal slope above mentioned, the
memory became fixed upon the spot ; nir tor
fifty years 10 cotue will that sceua ever fad*,
from the memory of those who saw it. There,
is every altitude of death, lying so close to
each other thai you might step from bud,) to
body, lay acres of the Federal dead. It seem
ed thai moat ui the laces which lay nearest to
Cot* Walton s artillery, were ol the well known
Milesian type.
In one small garden, not more than half an
acre in sixe, there were counter one hundred
and titiv one corpse*. 1 doubt whether in any I
battle held of mod.-rn timet the dt'ad have ever
tain so ihick and close. Ity universal coosrm
of those who have soon all the great battles ul
this wxr, nothing like it has ever becu seen
before ,Il is said that the uiorning after n
victery always breaks upon naked corpses. It
was not so in this case, but the sole reason was
that the pickets f both armies swept the slope
with thctr fi?c, and thai every liviugihing which
showed upon it was the target for a buudred ,
bullets, but three or four morniugs after 'he
baitlo, it was seen that the futivo baud which i
iuvariably glides into the pocket of victory bad .
bean busily at work, and uaked corpses anJ ,
others from which everything but their uuocr- j
clothing had been rifled were visiule tn aliuu '

It was remarked by & Confederate Uetieiul intimately
acquainted with the Federal General
Suuiuer, who commanded'the Federal right,
was there over another General but Sumner
who would have got his men into a place in
which not even chickens could live ?" but the
fire across the slope was fatal not only to men
and cliicUeuM, but alsr to every other living
thing. Horses by dosens were strewu ulotig
the hillside; and occasionally a dead row or hug
lay close to the silent and two often fearfully
torn and mutilated human bodies which evotywhere
met the view. Such a sight has turely
been seen by mau.

Barn well, Rector of St. Peter's Church, Charleston,
at the residence of his br tber-in-law,
Henry Fiaundevs, Esq., Germautowa, Pennsylvania,
on the 17th day of February, in the
571h year of liis ago.
Far from home and kindred?from the fields
of his former ministry, and from the State he
loved so wcM?yet not unsoorlu-d in his brief
ami gentle decline by ioved and familiar hands '
in the full posact-;ion of all his powers, and in
the blessed fruit ion ofa clear and abiding/m.'A |
-a ptart that passeth understanding?and tin
assured and tiiumpriant A<>pr?the soul of this
tsitTiful servaul nnd soldier of Christ pn?ed to
its eternal reward. Although placed under J
the Providence of God. in th^ midst of his
country'a enemies, political animosity seems j
for a lime to have suspended its bitterness ;
and in the presence of u large assembly of the '
clergy and laity of the city of Philadelphia,
and attended by the llisbeps of the Diocese,
eight brothers in tlio bond* of tlie Christian
mini.-try, b .re his honored remains to the (
tomb. His dust it gathered for a while io the
< burcl, of the Kpipbeny, close to that of his |
friend aud fellow-laborer, in the e.iuee of God's
truth, in South Carolina, the lamented James '
H Foles. Hut his epiiii-llie disenthralled, !
delighted, glorified spirit?oh ! how it exults
in the presence and smile and unveiled glories
of his Saviour and his Gfid '
Nothing new from Kinston. There ! some
excitement on both sides, but m illing has
transpired up to the tims of going to press.
Thir'v o*ix tnen ami one midshipman of the !
destroyed frigate, Mississippi, were brought in j
by our cavalry this t<|oruing, several severely
wounded.

SKF.I> time is at hand, unaccompanied with
_ t lie prospects of a speedy poace. Our foes
liurc K'vrn absolute control of their purse nnd
iword tc the tyrant Lincoln. Another year,
and perhaps more, of fierce war ia upon us.
Froiu th? enemy's fleets and armies wr need
Tear but little, from the unwise production of
Cotton, much. With the supply on haud, its
production now is not necessary to the success
of our cause, and can be dispensed with for
years to come. The States not in possession
of the enemy must produce supplies for them
selves, our armies in the field, cud tke families ,
of our soldier:
Now therefore, L MILL EDGE L. DO.VHAM,
Hovrrnor of South Carolina, do issue thie my .
Proclamation, and urge all the good citisena of
the State, dismissing all considerations of mere
gain, to plant and raise all ^fhe provisions of
svery description in their power. Let him who
has eotton seed enough to plant another year
and 1 nt enough for domcstio consumption,
plant not one seed. This is a time te try our
patriotism. A great people will rise to great
occasions. We claim to nave descended from
a race who won independence against immense
odds ufier a seven years' war of hardship and
privation far greater than we have yet endured.
Lei ur enact history woirthy of such an aaees
try. Our gallant soldiers have won imperials'
ahle renown in the field, and will do so ngaiu
and again. Our women are making saerifieae

at their respective Court Houses on Saieaday in

which has heretofore characterised thorn, reselve
to carry tut these suggestions. Other
