In regard to wbi I need only to state that my last 1 ter did not reach you, and recently have been travelling, and trying the same time to attend to my wo at home, ^hich work is of its enough f?Y ?ny mam ?ive reas to be very thankful, however, J having my lot cast among a peop who deeply sympathize with me that work, Bnd are willing to assi me in it. I have Ipeen much blessed in Mi mi. Our congregation and Sundi school are increasing in numbers ai in interest every week. Our Chun numbers about two : hundred ar twenty-five, and is spread over a coi siderable extent of country aroun our town, thus presenting an in def nite amount of work, beside _tL regular Church services. Fhave nc been hindered by 1 sickness, nor an of those things which men call mis fortunes. I and my family have ei joyed remarkably good Health", an and are more cheerful and happ than many would expect to find us i our new home. Btttr.w^ek I. visited .Kansas Git) on the border of the State of Kansai hnirrn this State. This town, which i&tjm^of lhejl?a??as struggle, wa .mt?e .more-'(Han i' gu?rilla-squatte headquarters} *s?^d even 'at;the clos of the late war was an insignifican town, no*w munbe.rs thirty-four thou sand ; and Wyandotte, beyond th' Kansas line, which may.be considerei part of the same city, and will per haffrduxiDgvtbe pr?sent year ' be in corporatecjf ^th 'jjumbers mor than six thousand, making a total o more than forty thousand. At Kansas City is the first lUil road Bridge on Missouri River, anc it is a gigantic structure. Over i ps?ses the great flood of travel t< California.. I suppose some of youl Tenders will be surprised to learn thai it will require only five days for m< to run from home to San Francisco California* Just think, New York ir the East, San Trancisco in the West, our State in the centre, and South Carolina where is she ? Our horizon has BO changed thaf. even the geogra phy of the United States seems tc have been changed. .Let me say a little more about Kansas. City,-the city among the hills, or rather pinnacles. I suppose this is the only site of its kind which has been, selected for a great city. After spending, in parts of it, per haps millions of dollars in a work ol grading.on a single hill, the surface of the site will be exceedingly uneven. It Ifi^P,^ ali strange, in thk cipv_5to see men digging out a broad street fifty, feet ?oep, through -a hill, and ol coursa making a corresponding em bankment in the valley below. The hiH and valley, on each side of this street will be graded to correspond with th'e street, and will be studded with lofty brick building?, tims the work goes On, and men herc tell me 'that even this necessity for avast amount of labor in grading, has con tributed largely to the ' rapid growth of the city. The. inhabitants of this city are from the East, West, North and South. Mexicans, Indians, Negroes, and White men. Taking the last of these names in its ordinary accepta tion, you will find that i's class very largely predominates, and embraces doubtless representatives of every little State of Europe and America. In this city I met that remarkable man, Rev. A. B. Earle,'the Baptist Evangelist ot Boston, who ha? been for nearly three months preaching at different points in our, State with as tonishing success. He has promised to stop with us in Mkmi, on the 3rd Julv to spend a short while preaching fortis. Kansas : City is eighty-one miles Weet of Miami, and the land on the entire route is rich. Very little wheat will be reaped in this S?ate, but the prospect ?6 good for a heayy corn crop. Yours, trulv, E. W. HORNE. For the Advertiser. Tbe Oats Question, and a Plea for More Thorough Farming? ME. EDITOB :-Seeing the commu nication of my friend, Felix Lake, jr., in a late issue of your paper, in re gard tb Ks"??markable success rt Oat raking^ :-?a? fleeming a'few i- remarks in Teferencetb the vast importance of this crop acceptable to the farmai , readers pf- your journal, I take this ^?casioh" $? ?sp'eclrfujly urge" upon all, whose.^and is adapted to the jpro?lu?- J tion of.the Oat, the adoption of his] mode of sowing the Oat on land where cotton is growing; and even land on which, corn is grown can be put down in Oats in this way after fodder has been pulled* ' The selection of a va- j .riety proved to be rust proof, early sown, will always insure a good crop. If the attention which this crop deserves be givenrit, there can hardly be an overestimate of its importance. I Let it be done, and the time will mark a'oaew; eta in^outhern Agriculture. Why should not the Oat entirely su persede the use of corn. Why culti vate corn all summer to see it at last withered up by the scorching san, during the dry season that invariably comes, when Oats, answering every purpose, can be so much more cheap ly and certainly raised. After making allowance for the time lost in harvest, }on have the more time to devote to cotton growing, by relying upon ' Oats for stock feed in stead of Corn. The hot and dry summers of th? South are unfavorable to a successful cultivation of corn. While our mild winters, and the hardiness of the Oat, thriving well on poor and thin soil, make it one of the most remunerative crops generally cultivated. Mr. James Y. Culbreath, a young and enterprising farmer of the Saluda section of this-County, cut and clean ed five hundred bushels of Oats, that only cost in thecggregate twenty dol lai^\ojs^y^ndfharvest. Allow the pasture to bV worth' tile seed*" ana mule feed .required to sow, and the chaff and straw to set off the expense of cleaning, and what" other crop would have paid so wei I ? These Oats are worth at his barn five hundred dollars cash ; and to have produced the same in value of corn or cotton, would cost nearly three hundred dol lars. In no country under the sun is the great caUing of ilie farmer pursued with an eye so little *to profit as in the South. Every where among farm ers here there is urgent need of re form. The old track has been so of ten traveled, and without profit, that spme less j circuitous ronte most, be opened by which ' better results, in less time, with less labor, leas ex pense, and with gr??t certainty, may be reached. Agriculture, being the basis of our national and individual prosperity, should not, by thinking men, be look ed upon as a subject, or object of sec ondary importance. But must be elevated, improved and diversified, by claiming a greater share of thought ful consideration from our intelligent men. The low ebb to which all branches of this great employment have sunk, the dilapidated condition of the whole cotton growing section, the aversion of tho emigrant to re move hither, the continued financial pressure which weighs so heavily and persistently Upon farmery are a few reasons why young men, who are about to book themselves for life's rough journey, turn away from a prospect so dark and uninviting and seek in other fields more remunera tive employment. . As a consequence, there is less mon ey, time, study and talents devoted to the improvement of this branch of industry than any other. It is a fact that the farmer gets on poorly, an^j that we are behind the rest of tle world in raa'.ters pertaining to a.**1" cultural improvement. Nor is i f?r want of a more favorable soil ,r eli: mate, or attributable to the#pditical condition or the country. LeU8glve a more liberal support to a' innova tions tending tu expedite a,^ cheapen the farmer's work ; and $ diversify our crops as to nb longe, depend up ou any country for anding that we can profitably grow olives.

We all know a nice girl the mo ment we meet her. That one word " nice" rises to our lips instinctively, we can hardly tell why ; but it is the only word in the language that can be used under the circumstances, and it is fully expressive. Everyone knows exactly what it mean's. It does not necessarily mean a beautiful girl, or an elegant or an accomplised girl, except to the extent that beauty, elegance and accomplishments are essential to niceness. 'Beauty ia its more queenly senses-the Guenevere style of beauty, for instance'-is out of the question. Arthur s guilty consort could not have been " nice. In a- soDse the- nice girl always is, and I think should be, pretty. Yes she ought to have nice features-a pure; clear face it should be ; and she is .certain to have nice eyes. No matter for the colour ; let them be blue, or hazel, orblacl?; and, again, let them be large or small : but they are certain to have an expression about them absolutely charming. They will be kind eyes, sympathetic eyes, ready to brighten at another's hap piness, and to grow brighter still with "tears that leave the lashes bright" over another's sorrowings. The' nice girl is sure to have a pretty mouth, too. There is a 6?cret about pretty mouths. It is more valuable than any of Madame Rachel's secrets asan " aid to beauty," and so is worth finding out. The secret is this : the mouth is of all the features the least under the control of the will. It i? the truest index to the disposition. Eyes may gleam; smiles may dimple the cheeks ; amia bility may be simulated with infinite skill ; but the mouth is less obliging than the " hollow hearts" of the poet It will not " wear a mask ;" and it is only by cultivating sweetness of disposition that a pretty mouth can be secured. The nice girl uncon sciously finds out this secret, and with a sweet mouth and kind eye3 she may be content : she has beauty .nough. The great charm about the nice girl is that she is so good-temper?d which is a synonym for good-hearted -so amiable, so cheerful, and so clever, in the best sense of that word. She is the life and soul of home. Her presence is its sunshine. She makes it. She is indispensable to-it. Says the Fairy in the Christmas tale, speak ing of such a girl in humble life, " The hearth which, but for her, were only a few stones and brides and rusty bars, is made through her the altar of the home." The same thing happens in higher circles, for th nice girl is found everywhere. On thiug to be noted of her is, that ehe ts always neat. You cannot surprise her *?? tivJiattlia IVImt a marvellons smoothness of hair she has ! And what immaculate cuffs and collara warranted never to rumple or soil It is dii&ctxlt to believe that her j rosses are made : their fit is .perfec tion, and they seem as natural tc her as leaves to a flower. There is al ways a graceful ' flow about them and as for color, she has an artist's eye in respect^to ?it. ' She uses a bright ribbon as a painter would do, but without knowing why. A poem might be written on a nice girl's boots. They are never of the showy kind : but now charming ! Gloves, again ; it doesn't 'matter whether Jouvin, Houbigant^ Piver, or some unknown Brown or Jones supplies them. They axe always perfection in fit, and, as a. rule, of some neutral tint. C?tch our nice girl appearing on the .croquet-lawn in gloves of posi tive yellow, or green, or, most hideous of all, red-that latest outrage on good taste ! . The influence of the nice girl in a house is al .vaya felt, but it is not easy to say how it is exercised. Part of the secret is, I fancy, that she is everywhere attended by two fairies, who are called Order and Grace. Their aid is invaluable. Wherever she goes, tidiness and neatness result. Her touch has a magic in it. She could not be slovenly if'the tried. It would bc impossible for her to arrange a flower, place a chair, loop up a cur tain, or perform the commonest act of daii)i life in any but ?he right way. Dickens had a nice girl in his mind when he drew Ruth Pinchv and who can forget thc charm with which Ruth invested Hat most homely of occupations, th* making of a meat pndding? It-is by jio means neces sary that the nice girl should be sim ply" domestic : ont she is sui e to prize her home snd to be of use in it. Al ways gay, busy, and cheerful, happy in herse-i and devoted to those about her. she misses none of the refine ment? or genuine pleasures of life. She snows all about the new poet M auf1 the last novel, the Opera favor it?3 and the popular play. She Juow3 somethiug of pictures, can sing a little and play fairly, but is not much given to those manipulated fireworks under cover of which every body talks till the coda ceases, and murmurs of " Thank, you !" express the general gratitude for what nobody has heard. Of course the nice girl dances, is clever at charades, and is the idol of the youngsters by reason of her profound erudition in the mat ter of fairy-tales and nursery rhymes, and the inexhaustible fertility of her resources when games and forfeits are in demand. In addition to these qualifications, she is, in all probability, 11 a fair horewoman, can skate, has | j learned to swim at the seaside, and perhaps, out of fondness for a brother, has mastered the difficult problem of the cricket-field so far as to watch his Bxploits therein with an appreciative 3ye. It is peculiarly pleasant to think of thv nice girl in the sick-rQom. Leigh Hunt wrote a paper on the pleasures of being ill. Not very ill, you know; but sufficiently so to warrant you in keeping to the house, and having people concerned and interested about yon. He rated it as one of the pleas ures of life. This at least may be 3onceded, that it goes far to take it out of the category of the miseries of life when our pet is there, ready .and, willing to attend on OB with loving j 1 devotion and unwearying patience. 1 3he is never afraid, never fatigued. 1 Her footstep is not heard, her dress > ha? DP into?Dg rustle in itv She ' i r does not talk to you overmuch, nor fidget you with suggestions or fussy attentions. An invalid suffers as much from being over-nursed as from neglect. She sees that you want for nothing, but conceals from ynu how your wants are supplied. At your lowest, she inspires you with confi dence : as you mend, her cheriulness sustains you, and one look at her bright face is like a glimpse of heaven. Universally astractive as they are, how is it that nice girls are so rare? They seem never to have been plen tiful. Even the poets ?give us few records of any. Sweet Anne Page, I imagine, was one. So was tne.^ heroine of Suckling's 11 Ballad upon a Wedding," I. like to think. That must have been a'nice girl iii youth, of whom it was said by a poet that to know her was a liberal education S -the sweetest compliment ever paid to woman ! . \ But it will not do to venture into this suggestive field and dip into other poets, beeause after the p* oe ts would come the novelists, and in the discussion of their heroines we should get beyond all bounds. But Edgar Poe haa eight liq?s addressed to Frances Osgood, which so strongly indicate that she was one of this rare order, and at the same time so tersely express all the feelings one would desire to convey ?to a nice girl, that I will venture to quote them : " Wouldst thou bo loved ? Then let thy heart From its present pathway part not ! Being everything which now thou art, Be nothing which thou art not: So with the world thy gentle ways, Thy grace, thv more than beauty, Shall be an endless theme of praise, And love-a simple duty." . To revert to our point: how is it that nice girls always^ have been, and now are, so rare ? Is it because heart is sp much rarer than beauty? Or is there some delusion in the female breast as to what men admire in women,'that leads so many to'assume airs, to be haughty and unfeminine, or to sink into the slough of fastness Other reasons may be assigned, but probably the truth will never be ar rived at. This, however, is not to be gainsaid, that nice girls bear no pro portion whatever to those whose gen eral bearing might be held to' justify the great Hazlitt in his extraordinary views of the gentler sex. It is re corded of him that when introduced to some young girls, " they neither laughed nor sneered, nor gigg'ed nor whispered ; but the)' were young girls. So he sat and frowned, blacker and blacker, indignant that there should be such things as youth and beauty, till he went away before sup per in perfect misen', and owned lie could not bear young girls-they drove him mad." One would like to feej certain that these could not have been nioo a^rh- ?? WILLIAM SAWYER. ------.->-*B>- f- - if This Ollicc is Not in Funds." The bcood of evils which Radical ism in this Sta,tc has brought forth is soon to be reinforced. To extortion iind virtual confiscation, the plunder of the Treasury, and the strangling of every attempt nt enterprise or de velopment by the white people of the State, to grievous oppression and en forced poverty is now to be added the;r exposure to the "pestilence that walaeth in darkness, and the destruction that wastethat noonday." This will be'thc legitimate conse quence of the abandonment of the quarantine as suggested in tho sub joined article from the ?Vctv.s. The startling announcement ap peared in the Columbia Union a few days ago. on the authority of Dr. Lob by, the health officer of the port ol Charleston,*" that, owing to the want of funds for quarantine purposes, he will probably be obliged to rai.se the quarantine from Georgetown to the coast of Georgia on the ISth July," and Dr. Lebby, who has just return ed from Columbia, repeats the state ment, and says that all his efforts to obtain any portion of the.liberal ap propriation mavle by the last Legisla ture for the quarantine service nave utterly failed. He sajs that twenty five hundred dollars is tbe minimum amount required to maintain the quarantine until next fall, and a war rant for that amount was drawn last week by the Comptroller General, but, an presentation to the Treasurer, it was met with a stereotyped reply, " Ko money in the Treasury." He has since been making every effort to obtain the money from the Treasurer, md he says he has been assisted to the extent of their power by Gover nor Scott and Comptroller General Neagle, but without success, and he now sees no resource but to raise the quarantine, and abandon the coast to \ its chances of infection. The crew \ of the quarantine boat at Bull River ] save already got tired of waiting for i their pay, and abandoned the "boat t Last week, but Dr. Lebby has already ? made private arrangements to pay mother crew for the present, at least, and the quarantine is re-estab ?ished.

No di-passionate observer of the proceedings of the Philadelphia Con vention can have failed to be impress ed by the fact that in the minds of a rj-ijority of the members of that body, of those at least who took the most active part in its proceedings, the idea which appeared IO'IJO uppermost was that the great Republican party had yet a mission to perform which ii only half fulfilled, and that our " soldier President" has a work to do which is at best but half done. That work, that mission, is to "crush out the vestiges of the rebellion." For this purpose, in his congratulatory message to Mrs. Grant, Mr. George H?

It vas the spirit, in fact, of a war mect ng-the spirit which might have >een appropriately evoked at so'ae risis ol' our great struggle, ata meet ng held in furtherance of the draft ir for th;' encouragement of volun eering. Like the songs which were ung and the speeches which were ande, it belonged to the year 1802. 'onsidered as happening in the year 872-seven years niter the close ol he war-the whole thing was a sim io anachronism. The country in a tate of profound peace, and Kr?g ling with might and main to go back j the ways ot peace, ha< no need for. "r vival of the war spirit. As for tho supposed exigency of ic times, which, in the jud jmenfc of ?rae of the delegates to the Cgnvcn on, necessiatted tho renomination of ni nt, upon the sume principle upon bach the renomination of Lincoln as urged in 1SO4, that it was bad DHCV to "swap horses while crossing stream"-the analogy in point of rcumstances altogether fails. With ;her arguments and considerations Inch might he urged in favor of en. Grant's renomination we decline i meddle. They concern tho party id not ns. But the whole Ameri m people, without distinction of )litics, are concerned in denying tho ?nststrous and unfounded allega on that there is any red streim of ar to be crossed in 1S72, and crisis ' the,country's fate now pending, to ? compared to that'of eight years ace.

The only vestiges of the rebellion" remaining be crushed are the poor, irapover ied, suffering Southern people them Ives, proscribed by Congressional ivs, despoiled by carpet bag govern ing struggling with what heart and urage they can still command to Uer their fallen fortunes. "We are surprised that the party iders at Philadelphia should not smselvea have seen the glaring in tisistency between their actions. If e rebellion is " suppressed," and tnesty to those " lately in rebellion" a thing to be approved, and the i-ead and growth of fraternal feel y a subject of congratulation, what ed for evoking the " war spirit" ew, for singing " war songs," for caching a fresh crusade to "crush t" the vestiges of treason ?
