Brootii Corn. ^ We call special attention to the communication of Mr. Henderson, upon the subject of planting Ilrooin Corn. It is desirable that this erop should be grown in nbundniice tbis year. We bope our farmers will call upon Messrs. Foster L Judd, and supply themselves with Med, and plant au acre or two, with the view .of supplying the vorkmcu of Cedar Springs With straw, so that we may be suppied with brooms, without extortionary prices. A new broom sweeps cloan. Plant Corn. We hope that every good citizen, who has a ! garden spot or unoccupied piece of ground, farge enough to apread a blanket upon wi turn it to good accouut this year, by planting corn or vegetab'cs thereon. Let him not only j do this himself, but persuade hii*. neighbors to do likewise. If people would gcucrally try to Taiao something?cabbage, coru. butter-beans, triuatoes, etc., which can be dene on a small scale without appreciable trouble, the prices of edibles would be kept in more reasonable bounds. Therefore, wc say, plant coru somewhere , but plant corn ! So aaya the Charleston Mercury. ^ n. wood Cxnmple. Several citizens in Abbeville Dietrict, have enited iu furnishing corn to soldiers' families at $1 per bushel. The Commissioner* of the Board of Relief, at their first meeting, ascer* tainod the number of families that needed aid from the Board, was four huudred and fifteen families. The Board resolved to pay to eaeh' Tomiiy $-1 per month froui the 1st January, 4&G2. The Commissioner in each Battalion is to ascertain the ueceasiiies of each family, and report to the Board for a proper distribution of the ffcid. We suppose a similar rule to govern the Coinmisniouers of this District, prevails here. In iLooe very families which have been receiving corn, wo notice u large number of boys which should be put into tire corn fiold and kept there through the yvar. The season hss new come to go to work in earnest, and the dontand for labor wub never belter, and we think it is the duty of the Commissioner*, when they are giving out com, to enquire, and ascertain if there nny boys at homo able to work, and if wo, cause them to be put to wovk or drop the same of that family, until every one who is able to work aliall go at it in earnest. No idlers shiuld be permitted to draw their bread from toe Commissioners. They will find in the large division they are overlooking, a pleuty % to feei, who a e strictly the objects of their care, and to whom ihe liberal haadof the State hould he extended?and uo others.

Farmer* of *ptrtaoburg. Permit me ibroafb jour oolumtu to com mood to our eftioulturol Won do, the growiu/ of Broom Cora : m 0 busiaooo kt omi remunerative to IhmtseWee. end hifhlj beneficial to the oomiuuuiij iu general, %ud particularly to the Industrial Deportment of thie Institution. Whoever shall add but a single nrticle to the list orour domestic product*, thus rendering us less dependent upou foreign nntione, deserve* to be esteemed the benefactor of bie countrjr. The enormous prises at which brooms have been feold, during (lie test year, are in a great measure owiag to the fsct that many of the factories, if tudeed not all of them, have been compelled to suspend operations for weeks and even mouths together for want of material. Our climate and soil are admirably adapted to the growth of this product; which may be easily raised of excellent quality, and in quantity sufficient to enable it to rie with "King Cotton" himself iu the profits which it yields. Besides the straw, which may be sold at from 8 te lb cants per pound, or even mere, aeoerdtag to its quality and the state of tho market, the grain or seed due* net fall far below the ordinary yield of inriiun com; and ie a valuable article of food lor sheep, milch cows aad tuwlc. Our Steward, .Mr. N. F. Walker will deposit souio bushels uf sued at the store of fdesars. Foster U Judd, where it ir?.y b- had, gratis, by ?hj one who will register his uauie and allow the Institution to hare the refusal of hie crop at fhe tnurk?t rates, whatever they may be at the time. Baloe we give the mcih od, in brief, for the cultivation of Broom corn 1st. Plant the corn early in April, la rows about four foot wide, more or loss, depending upon tbe fertility ol (hosoil. It is to bo pleated in tho drill precisely as cotton, about three eights of a bushel of the seed to tbe acre. 2d. The plow aud hoe are to ba used as though it wore cotton, thinning It out with a broad hoc, and when it ie thro# or four iaebes hig^ thin it by'hand, leaving only two or throe stalks together according to tho atrongth of your land, which should not bo torj rich, otherwise tho at row will bo too coarse. Gd About the first of August, when the bloeaoni appears and the straw turns slightly brown, the stalk must be bent or turned down about sis inches below the straw, which can readily bo done wi'hout breaking it. It is generally necessary to go through the field at two or three different times; as it does not all arrire at sufficient maturity to requr* turuing down at once. 4th. In a few weeks from this time, the seed will become hard nod dry, when the earn should be cut just at the point at which it was bent : being careful to do this before it has become affected with mildew. Then spread it out. in a cool airy place to dry, protected alike from sau and moisture. The seeds uiay be stripped off at any leisure time; then the straw i9 ready fer market. A specimen of the instrument for strippiug the seed may be seen at Messrs. Foster ii Judd s store, though it tun be constructed in many j different furuis. The soil should be -uch at would produce good cotton, (not too poor) and, if properly cultivated, from 200 to 800 lbs. of straw taay be raised to the acre. Many tons of this material c.an be raanufac tttred into brooms here annually. Wi hope that every farmer who can procure the seed, will, from year to year, devote several acres to this prop, uutil it shall become one of the staple products of the District; by so doing you will subserve tho goueral interest of the country, and confer a special favor on manyyoung men, who, though destitute of sight, are determined with their own hands, to earn their daily bread.

Some of the transports are seen to carry off troops up the river, white others are coming down with reinforcements. If the Federals bad any prospect of ejocees with the canal, we v on id not hear ao much talk iu the Northern pi' era about a force being sent up to Lake Providence for (he purpose of cutting the loves to get into Uayou Macon, and through the tortuous bayous of North Louisi- i sua iuto Red river.

SKKI? time is at hand, unoeoomp&nicd with t he prospects of a speedy peace. Our foes have given absolute control of their purse unJ sword to the tyrant Lincoln Another year, and perhaps more, of fierce war ia upon us. Frutu the enemy's fleets and armies wc need fear but little, from the unwise production of Cotton, much. With the supply on haud, its product.ou uow is not necessary to the *uccc?s of our cause, tin ! can be dispensed with for years to coiae. The States not in possession of (lie enemy inusi produce supplies for them selves, ottr armies in the field, and the families of our soldier: Now therefore, I. MILL EDGE L. IIOXHAM. Governor of South Carolina, do issue this my Proclamation, and urge all the good citisens of the Stale, dismissing all considerations of mere gain, to plant and raise all Jthe provisions of every description in their power. Let him who has cotton seed enough to plant another year und 1 nt enough for domestic consumption, plant not one seed. This is a time to try our patriotism. A great people will rise to great occasions. We claim to have descended (Yum a race who won independence against immense odds ufter a soven years' war of hardship and i privation fur greater than we have yet endured. | Ian ur enact history worthy of such an aaoes 1 try Our gallant soldiers have won imperial ah!e renown in the field, and will do so again and again. Our women are making saoriAeee worthy of any nge. If wo hut do uor duty, all will be wall, ana we shall, with tba blessing of Ood, wear out and prostrate our malignant and hateful foe. In orler to sacure eonoert of action. 1 recommend to the eitisene of the State, to assemble at their respective Court Houses on haieaday in April next; and in that spirit of patriotism which has heretofore characterised them, resolve to carry eut these suggestions. Other Steles are taking steps to attain *tbii? object, lei it not be said that we will not make evory sacrifice whioh patriotism demand*.
