^ We call special attcn'iou to the comoiunica- |
iion of Mr. Henderson, upon the subject of I
planting Broom Corn. It is desirable that this j
crop rfboulJ be grown in abundance this J ear. 1
We hope our farmers will call upon Messrs.
Foster A Judd, and supply themsclvcH with
Med, and plant an acre or two, with the view
.of supplying the workuncu of Cedar Springs
with straw, so that we may be euppied with
hrooms, without extortionary prices. A new
broom sweeps clean.
Plant Corn*
We hope that every good ciliien, who has a
garden spot or unoccupied piece of ground,
feigo enough to spread a blanket upon wi
turn it to good account this year, by planting
corn or vcgetab'cs thereon. Lei him not only
do this himself, but persuade hit neighbors lo
do likewise. If people would gcucrally try to
Taiso something?cabbage, corn, butter-beans,
trnistoes, etc., which can be dene on a small
scale without appreciable trouble, the prices
of edibles would be kept in more reasonable
bounds. Therefore, we say, plant coru somewhere
, but plant coru 1 So says the Charleston
Mercury.
^ A Good Example.
Several citizens in Abbeville District, have
united m furnishing corn (u soldiers' families
at $1 per bushel. The Comuiiseiouer* of the
Board of lidief, at their first meeting, ascertainod
the number of families that needed aid
fron the Board, was four hundred and fifteen
Jamilies. Tho Board resolved to pay to eaeh'
family $4 per month from the 1st January,
#SG2. The Commissioner in each Battalion is
io ascertain tho uecessiiics of each family, and ]
report to the Board for a proper distribution
of the fftid.
We suppose a similar rule lo gevorn the Cornet
misaiouers of this District, prevails here.
In those very fuuiilioj which have been receiving
corn, wo notice a large number of boys
which should bo put into Hie corn field and
kept there through the y?*ar. The season has
new come to go to work in c&rneat, and the domand
for labor wus never better, and we think
it ia the duty of the Commissioners. when they
are firing out corn, to enquire, and ascertain
if there any boys at homo able to work, and if
*o, cause them to be put lo work or drop the
name of that family, until every one who is
able to work ahall go at it in earnest. No
idlers ahruld be permitted to draw their bread
from tna Commissioners. They will find in the
large division they are overlooking, m plenty
% to feel, who a e strictly the objects of their
eare, aud to whom the liberal hand of the State
should he extended?and ue others.

remunerative to themselves, ana highly bene

culsrly to the Industrial Depart meal of this
Institution. Whoever shall add bat a single ;
article to the list of our dointetlo product*, thus j
rendering us less dependent upou foreign ne- i
lions, deserves to be esteemed the bendhctor ,
of his country.
The enormous prices at which brooms kav#
been sold, daring the last year, are In a great
measure awing to the fact that manyoftba
factories, ir Indeed not all of them, have been
compelled to suspend operations fur wsaks and
even months together for want of material.
Our climate and soil are admirably adapted to
the growth of this product; which may be easily
raised of exccllont quality, and in quantity
sufficient to enable it to vie with "King Cotton"
himself in the profits which it yields. Besides
tlit straw, which may be sold at from 8
te It csots per pound, or even mere, according
to its quality and the Mate ef the market,
the grain or seed Joes not fall far below the
ordinary yield of indian corn; tad is a valuable
article ol food tor sheep, milch eows end
towls. Our Steward, .Mr. N. F. Walker will
deposit souiu bushels of sued at the store of
jtleeara. Foster U judd, where it i;:sv b > tied,
gratis, by any oue who will register In* nouie
and allow the Institution to havs the refusal ot
his crop at (he tnurk?t rates, whatever they
may he at the time. Below we give tke mcth
od, in brief, for the cultivation of Broem corn
1st. Plant the corn early in April, in rows
about four foet wide, more or less, depending
upon tke fertility ol the soil. It is te be pleated
in the drill precisely as cotton, abeot three
eights of a bushel of the seed to the acre.
8d. The plow aud hoe are to be used as
though D wore cottou, thinuiug it eut with a
broad hoe, and when it is three or four inches
higjf thin it by'band, leaving only two er three
stalks together according to the strength of
your land, wbioh should not bo vary rieh.
otherwise the straw will be too ooarne.
Od About the first of August, when the
blossom appears aud the straw turns slightly
brown, the stalk must bo bent or turned down
about six iacbes below the straw, which can
readily be dono wi'hout breaking it It is
generally necessary to go through the field at
two or three different times; as it doea not all
anise at sufficient maturity to requr# turning
down at once.
4tb. In a few weeks from this time, (La seed
will become hard and dry, when the corn
should be cot just at the point at which it was
bent: being carelul to do tlti* before it has become
affected with mildew. Thou spread it
out. iu a cool airy place to dry, protected alike
from san and moisture. The *ecd* may be
stripped off at any leisure time; then the straw
il ready f?r market.
A specimen of the instrument for stripping
the seed may be sec.i at Messrs. hosier k Judd
store, though il ran be constructed in many
different forms.
The soil should be ..uch as would produce
good ootton, (not too poor) and, if properly
cultirated, from 900 to #00 lbs. of straw may
be raieed to the acre.
Many tons of thin material can be roanufac
lured into brooms here annually. We hope
that e*ery farmer who can procure the seed,
will, from year to year, devote several acres
to this prop, until it shall become one of the
staple products of the District; by so doing
you will aubsorve the goueral interest of the
oounlry, and confer a special favor on many
young men, who, though destitute of sight, are
determined with their own hands, to earn their
daily bread.

The pcaoeful quietness we have so loug enjoyed
on the coast is about to be disturbed. It

are on their own noil, 111cy will be doubly

for success. 1 do not pretend to say what our
strength is at this post, for the simple raason I
do uot ku w- It is enough to know, however,
that we shall do our wholo duly ae soldiers,
who sre fighting for their all , nutting in the

we have nothing to fear.
This morning it it quite oloar an warm ; no

slaughter, but w en the eye had once testcu
upon the fatal elope above mentioned, the
memory became tixed upon the ipo'. j inr lot
filly years to eotue will that scene ever fade
from the memory of those who taw it. There,

Col- Walton a artillery, were ot the well known
Milesian type.
In one small garden, not more than half an
acre in site, there were counted one h.indrid
and fitly oue corpses. I doubt whether in any
battle held of modern times the dead have ever
tain so thick and close, liy universal consent .
of those who hare soon all the groat battles ot
thia war, nothing like it lias ever been seen 1
belure ,ll is naid that 4he morning alter n

was not so in thin case, but the sole reason was
that the pickets f both armies swept the slope
with ihcirfi'c. and that every !iviii?ibiiig which
showed upon tl was the target for a hundred j j

Huuiuer, who commanded'the Federal right, j
"was there ever another General but Sumner (
who would have got his ui?n into a place in
which not even chickens could live!" Hut the '
fire across the slope was fatal net only to uieu i

the nillside; and occasionally a dead row or hug
lay otose to the siieut and loo often fearlully j

EF.D titne is at hand, unncooinp&nied with
^ the prospects of a speedy peace. Otur foes
ire given absolute control of their purse and
void to the tyrant Linnoln. Another year,
nd perhaps n?o;e, of fierce war ia upon us.
roiu the enemy's fleets and armies we need
ar but little, from the unw:?e production ol
oil on, much. With the supply on hand, its
nmuaiou uuw JH l?Ol MCtlKliry 10 t-M0 SUCCC-*-1
r out- c.tuse, tn l can be dispensed with for
tar* to come. The States not in possession
fihe enemy mast produce supplies for tbeni
>lves, our armies in the field, and the fauiilie.i
f our aoldicr:
Now therefore, I. MILLF.DQE L. I10NH.VM,
ovrrnor of South Carolina, do issue thia my
roclam&tion, and urge all the good citizens o(
it State, dismissing all considerations of mere
sin, to plant and raise all ^the provisions of
rery description in their power. Let him who
ss ootton seed enough to plant another year
nd 1 nt enough for dotneslio consumption,
lant not one seed. This is a time to try our
atriotiam. A great people will rise to great
cessions. We claim to have descended fVom
race who won indcpcudenoe against immense
d is lifter a seven years' war of hardship and
rival ion fur greater than we have yet endured.
ie< us enaci history worthy of such an aftoes
ry Our gallant soldiers have won imperiid*
hie renown in the field, and will do so again
nd again. Our women are making sacrifice*
rorthy of any nge. If we but do our duty, all
rill b? well, and we shall, with the blessing of
lod, wear out aud prostrate our waliguanl aud
steful foe.
In orler to secure concert of notion, I reeom?end
to the eitisens ef the gtnte, to saaomblt
t their respective Court Houses on Salcaday in
ipril next; and in Utat spirit of patriotism
rbich has heretofore characterised them, re
etve to carry out these suggestions. Othet
