For the Advertiser. Columbia. ira. A. i. Pride of our State, borne of the free, The high-toned, chivalrous, and brave; Where had thy guardian angel flown When his right arm was slow to save ? When lurid flames ascended high, And licked their forked tongues in greed, Less eruel than the arch fiend's heart Who sought to fill our souls with dread ; When screams weat up from childish lip?, And piteous wails were heard for bread; When the wan mother hugged her child, And strove to lift her fainting head ; Was this the way they thought to win Allegiance to their boasted power ? To torture, crush, and bend at will, The helpless victims of th? hour. No ! Itt the mariner forget To watch his faithful polar star, And some eccentric comet grasp, To guide to ocean wastes afar ; The burnished needle traitorous prove, And dally with each shifting tide ; ' The earth's mysterious currents cease, To seek tho wooing loads ton o's side : When red flames rage in quenchless wrath, O'er the boundless heaving sea, And proud ships set their sails and plough The Western praries-let it be. They do not oonquer us,-oh r.o ! But leave their hideous, filthy trail/ So. that wo know them well, and strike With deadlier, more determined zeaL Behold the fearful Holocaust! And a?k if loyalty be given, To tho vile norde, by us again,- - We answer NO ! So help'us Heaven 1 March 4th, 1605. -.-? i tm i ? ' Memory and Hope. BT ??HES N. ELLS. Oft at the honr when evening throws Its gathering sbadca o'er hill and dale, While half the scene in daylig >t glows And half in twilight glories still The thought of all that we havo been, And hoped, and feared, on Life's long way, (Remembrances of j?ry or pain) Come, mingling with the close of day. But, soft o'er each reviving sceno The chast'ning hues ef Memory spread ; And, smiling each dark thought betwoeB, nopo softens every tear we ahed.

If a yield is expected, the so they are-sown the better they produce. A Stick peas early-then earth them u] March or April, which is all the work cessarv. Onions-Some *plant onions in Oct and November. These are the best moi for planting all bulbous wots. They ? now be planted with success in well main beds, (cowpen is the best,) which are 1 exposed to the sun. To plant all such th regularly, it is best to have a rod aboul inch square, and some ten or twelve feet U Upon this rod the proper distances (saye; or ten inches) for planting should be mar with chalk, or otherwise. Instead of a li placa one or more boards or planks aci the bed, to guide the operator, who sta on these boards whilst planting along tl straight edges, and is guided us to space a j by the marked rod ?t a convenient dista parallel with the planting board. Insert w the finger and thumb the set into the grcu only deep enough to cover its crowu, ? leave out the small point or stem, and tl till the cavities with loose mould ; and to y ceed, ten inches apart, with the rows. Wi out these positive-guides, negroes and c) dren often ruin a crop, which cannot be paired. Onions for Sets.-To prepare sets (whi make the largest Onions) for planting ne yesr, ?KW tbe seeds in a drill or mirk, abt a fourth ut au inch de-.-p, and from orie two inches apart, and then sift over OH drills (which should be wide enough ap: for a garden hoe tobe iu.ierted) some ri light mould to tbe depth of a half inch. If it is der ired to raise onions for food J ring the first year, th? samo culturo is ner< sar}', but eight or ten inches of space t tween tb'? plants muse bc left. Tho Onion is a biennial plant, (two year: boneo ; hat which is.,produced from a set bull? of last year will bare fulfilled its alb ted (natural) time soon after its perfection gmwth during the second year, and this w account for its decay, and in many cases ca not long be preserved, leaving little but tl germ for future reproduction. AU our be (not largest) imported onious are the produ of thc seed or first year's growth, which i suroa freedom from decay. Cabbage and Lettuce may now he sown i beo.3 pretexted somewhat from the nnrl winds, over which, as a protection, raise slight scaffold covered loosely with sue leafless brush as the forest or orchard mn afford. These plant beds should be we spaded and manured with rich manure, to crably well rotted. To awsid sowing the! too thick, which materially affects their ii ture growth, mix them thoroughly wjth san and then sow them. Be careful to keep yoi plant bed far away from old cabbago stalk as they are sure to impregnate tbe youn plant with zoophytes of lice, and which ai alto produced by sowing too thick. Radishes.-A few rows, protected by brus may now be soWh, either Early Turnip c Long Salmon. Drill eight- inches apart, i well-manured sandy or light mould nianur from the cowpen is the best. They shoul bc thinned so as to admit of quick maturit) otherwise they soon become pithy. Sow eve ry two or three weeks, lo ke.ep. up a succet sion for tho table. Early turnips may b treated in the same manner. Spinach.-Sow sm all beds every twoweekf on rich ground, very thin, and rake it i about a fourth of ap, inch deep.

Flowers are the children of nature, and when our venerable mother earth decks her self in her most.inviting ornaments, these children are her molt cherished attendants. Nor will she suffer those who. through laziness pr want of taste and refinement, have failed to cultivate a few of these choice favorites, to pass unpunished. Whera no flowers are reared, choice vegetables for food are scarce and inferior. Trim all shrubbery extensively. One gond stalk will produce finer blooms than a whole t?-ee untrimmed. Separate, and transplant, where.needcd, all annual, biennial, or peren nial planta and shrubs. Many will bloom this year, whilst others will repay tti'e atten tion next season. GARDENING is associated with Paradise, with the first and loveliest of women and of men, and with innocence, the gem of jewels; and in this laud (Confederacy) of sadness and tears, it is, of all out-door occupations, the most soothing. True, the agonized heart ana unbidden tear reminds us,his youthful or manly hand once assisted us on this very spot, and is now lust to us forever. Uc died for his 2-i'd country, a martyr, so sacred to arTcctfoTs heart, that it finds relief in cul tivating a sacred flower, as an offering to his memory, though its place is denied on the un known grave. " Hints for the Month. From an old March member of thc Farmer dj Plantery we cull tho annexed H Hints for the month :" This is one of the most important months of the year.to the planter. So many things begin now to press.upon you, that a wet -day, or bad spell of weather, or a little bad man agement, will be ielt throughout the season. If any repairs about the farm, buildings, fences; or implements, be required, have it atteuded to as soon as possible. There is now but little spare time for piddling after this month. . Manure.-Everything convertible into ma nure should be done at once, and hauled out upon the farm. 'Always ?elect the fields near est the manure pile for improvement, if pos sible, for it will not pay to haul it a great distance. We do riot believe in the doctrine advocated by some writers, that, tho planter can easily, make manure enough for bis plan tation. This sort of talk will do for planters who own "rich plantations, and have only a field or so near thc house that requires ma nure and petting. There are very few of U3, however, who cannot do better than we are in tha^iabit cf doing, and it is our duty as our interest to do it. Serape up all the litter about the negro quarters, hog pens, cow-pens, stables, wood-piles, ash-hoppers, and feeding places, und haul it out to the Celdas soon af possible. In the preparation of corn land, keep in mind that you cannot plough too deep or pre pare it too thoroughly. Laud should not on ly be well ploughed but left so that it would not bag the water, or suffer by being run over by the spring rains-matters about which very few of us ever trouble ourselves to think. Rainy Days.-Take a look into the gear house-repair plow gpar; see that you have a full supply ol back-bands, harac-strings, bri dles, collars, ?tc. See that your plows, plow stocks, trace-chains, clevis, single trees, heel-, screws, fulsecouiters, d'-c, are all at hand, a-d in order, lt is well always to tiave a few ox tras in this department-" things are always a breaking when people are in a push/' Stock.- his is a trying month on all farm stock. Keep cn eye tu your multo and horses; see that their shoulders t?ra hot hurt, and that jhey are well tared for. If you can grind their food, do it, and be sura to cut up your tt>pa, fodder, and oats. Reap your CuWg wli protected from tho chilling winds of March, .md feed well. Thc calves will require particular attention; pin* them tiie benefit ol your grass lo:?, barley, nr rye Dutches. rhetp *dl do well on a little hay, straw, Cotton f.ued and bran ; they should have an ?pti? sheller to nauu to in bad weather, and plenty Of salt; Hog?, and FOWK with young pigj, must be wat ohed and (ed. If you baye chivar lots ih-\r will pay well now; -.-Make :;;. < ?i\r t keep alf bowness moving onward systemati cally; il is belier ?ven to move slowly tin? 6urely, than to astonish the neighborhood In blustering and rushing through all sorts of wind ;tud weather. YANKEE TRICKS OX OCILPKISOKEUS.-From some of our prisoners returned from Camp Chase, we hour that the Yankee authorities ar;; U?ing all means, the vilest deception, o? course, and sometimes actual violence, to in duce or constrain our prisoners- lo lako the oath of allegiance. When one lot of prison ers were sc-m ob" from Camp Chase the vi tnaindtrwere told th*t there was no prospect ofa genera! exchange, that they had been left in the larch; and that no ether means re mained lor their extrication from prison than to swear allegiance to the Yankee govern ment. This ingenious deception is, of course, r.ot without some effect. The few hundred prisoners recently return ed from Cain p Chase, before their departure were drawn up in a line, and each was re quired, when his name was called, to say yee," if he desired lo be exchanged, and " no,'' if he preferred to remain in the North. Outof three hundred men, one answered .' no." One bf his comrades undertook to rebuke him. He Was singled out by the provost marshal ; placed in irons before the eyes of the other prisoners ; audit was announced before them that, for his temerity, be would be kept io irouauntil thc close of tho war. We have been promised the name of this un fortunate person, as it has been suggested that the circumstances of the outrage fur nish grounds for some sort of retaliation. Richmond Enquirer. ISE HEARD FKCM-Tn our last from Mrs. Partington, she thus discourses concerning Ike : Betsy ?Jane writ to you about poor Isaac bein' grafted into our noble army; it was during the late prevailing restriction.'

FKOM SAVANNAH--A gentlemen who left Savannah on Tuesday last, -reached here to i day. He states that all was in commotion j there in consequence of the- prevalence of a ; report that Sherman's left and ceutre had j been defeated u?ar the border of North Car . oliua, and thirty thousand of ; his anny put hors du combat. lu consequence of this, ho j wea not allowed to bring any letters or pa ; pera out with him. The excitement was in ! te:-..d when he lett. There were hut few white troops in the city. SHERMAN'S MOVEMENTS,- The rumor is current in reliable circles thai Sherman has crossed the Catawbaaud was hurrying towards Wilmington, or East.. He found unexpected obstacles in his wsv to the rear of Lee"? army. FROM BELOW.-Nineteen negroes were re cently captured from below, endeavoring to make their way io Savannah. SAFE.-Mr Kenney, the toute agent, was not captured by Sherman's army as reported, but escaped their clutches after many hair breadth adventures and arrived here safely yesterday! FOXY.-It is rumored here that ono of our Generals has been tricked by Sherman who sent him a^sjearer of despatches with orders from Gen. Beauregard to fall back to a cer tain point. Our officer fell back to the point designated before he discovered the forgery, and that it was a ruse of Sherman's to gain time. From Columbia. fe. A gentleman just from Columbia gives us the aunexed items: The number of whites who left Colum bia with Sherman, is about two hundred. Number of negroes, twelve hundred. Tho Yankee troops adore Sherman, and call him by the familiar name of " Old Bill." i They put great confidence in him. ( lt is rumored that E^-Governcr Aiken re- , maincd in Charleston, and has been made Mayor of thc city by the Yankees. Nearly all tho plat? seut from Charleston . and Columbia for safe keeping, and much pf , the valuable plate bf the citizens of the lat- , ter place was stored in Columbia Bank vaults, . all fell a prixe to the enemy. It was said some time since that the new State House at Columbia was spared because , it contained a statue of Washington which could not be removed without destroying it. , A gentleman ju't from Columbia states that ; this is not so. He says tho statue itself was badly defaced, and that the reason why the > State House itself was not blown up was be cause Sherman could not spare thc powder. ' The State records of South Carolina were removed to a place of safety. The records of Beaufort and other districts which had been removed to Columbia for security wero unfor tunately destroyed.-Augusta Chronicle. Cien. Johnson's Order on taking Com* maud. CHARLOTTE, N.

He m ember the Soldiers. Congress having passed; over the Preei; dent's veto, the bill to authorize the mailing of newspapers to Soldier's free of postage, the bill is now a law. Therefore, let all who love the Soldiers, (and who does not?) see to it that they be furnished with a liberal supply of newspapers to while away and make pleasant their idle hours. A newspa per from home is appreciated bj the Soldier almost as much as a letter. In fact, a gallant veteran in the Potomac army, renewing his subscription, writes us to be punctual in ihailing his paper, as he had ? rather have a copy of the Advertiser than a ten day's fur longh." People of Edgefield, your lathers, sons, brothers and friends in the armyt love any thing that comes from home-and to have the Advertiser, from week to week, following up your loved ones in their journeyings through our broad .Confederacy, would be a continual source of joy to them.
