A tyeU-Maimg-ed Farit^^Jendid Cot-j S v-^on?Fine Wheatj?\SqiPD-' Accepting the kind in vitamin of our townsman, Mr. \V. Joel Smitt), extetoft4 ed to us with a number of other gentle-" men on Friday last, to visit tiie farm owned by himself and Mr. William Wilson, near Calhoun's Mills in the Flat woods, known as the '/Parker Place," we had a most delightful .-dayJ and.all of us returned enchanted with; the. excursion. orn i'ahty. The party consisted of some fourteen j in all and would have been larger but *f ^hat several of the invited guests were "tillable to attend. Among them was our | respected Postmaster. Mr. II. W. Law-i son. who took a rare re spite from hist onerous duties in Uncle .Sam's Depart-j ' meat: Mr. \V. T. Penney, who conclu-j (led to throw "physic to the dogs" forj one day; Mr. W. T. Branch, who for-! got his insurance policies for the nonce; j Cyl. J. T. Robertson his merchandise j and his farming interests; Major An; drew Ward law his tine new store and { its futuie profits; Mr. H. T. Tusteu his watches and his jewelry and his cotton ;j Mr. J. D. Chalmers his furniture and ! his chromos ; Mr. S. A. Breazrale, the scissors and the sewing machine and! thetxyifls ; Mr. H- IS- Hill, the money-1 bags o.f the Treasury; Mr. E. F. Parker his nrasent emnlovment in the grocery j line, for the cherished memories of the! farmer; our host, W. J. Smith, his va-J ried avocations in town and country;] his son Allen his literary musings, and lastly the editor his books and his pa-| pers. t THE HIDE. j We all had a pleasant ride behind fast; trotters, iu the balmy morning air,! over one o.f the best roads in the C'oun-I ty for ten miles, and made quite an im-j posing cavalcade. Our friend Tusten I Wjo brought up the rear, was very xnuch troubled occasionally in satisfying,1 the curiosity of those we met, as to our; character or destination?whether we were a funeral escort or a bridal party, j Why he in all cases was the party selec-| ted to respond we leave it to others toj I solve. Tin: NOTED LOCALITIES. ' Sweeping along at a rapid pace, we i, passed two parties of road-workers who ' were industriously carrying out the! programme so recently set forth by Commissioner Jones and his Hoard; and; then all the noted points on the road, j "the cabins," once the Summer resort j for the planters; Lebanon with its taste-1 ful new ehnrch and its post ofttee; thei; old "Patrick Calhoun place," wjrere re-j pose the ashes of the parents nnd rola-j, tive of the great Carolina statesman, j and where marble monuments and j tombstones mark the spot of their ln-'| ferment; then by the old artillery mus-i ter ground ; tbon into the old Charleston : _ Koad, and then after a two hours ride, j into the mansion of our friend and host, I where Mr. William Wilson, a joint pro-j prietor and a superintendent of the1 ? _ place, with his estimable family, was!, prepared to open wide the doors and to; give us a Carolina welcome. I.AKtilC FLOCK OF SIIKKP. jj A large flock of about one hundred It and thirty sheep, greeted our vision asl we rod? up, and gave such evidence of( abundant hospitality that some of the i knowing ones of our party remarkedI < that they needed no further evidence of!1 the bounteous dinner that awaited us. ; i THK FAMOUS C UKA'lilAM COTTON. jf After resting and cooling oil* for| awhile, the party followed the lead of . Mr. Wilson, on a vi>il to his held of the ( famous Cheatham cotton, and the sight j which here greeted us was well worth the ride from the village. Here was a , field of one acre, which in spite of the |. dry weather, which made it necessaryj. to water the plants for a time, it is es- ! timated would yield at least two bales of lint cotton, and the appearance of the cotton fully justified the estimate. Here were cotton stalks as high its your ! head and loaded with fruit, some stalks bearing at least one hundred large bolls,' and many of them falling down under the weight of the fruit. A peculiarity! of this cotton is that it branches but lit- i tie, and the weight of fruitis about the! stalk. The bolls are unusually large, and some of them exhibited the rare] peculiarity of having some fifteen dif-' ferent divisions. The field will, it is estimated, yield fifty bushels of seed, and this at the price obtained by Mr. * Cheatham?$5 for 1500 seed, or Sii'iO for * a bushel or 70,000 seed, would be equal to a gold mine. At even $25 a bushel this acre of cotton would bring in an! enormous income. Most of the party i were amateur farmers, but it required! no special intuition to see the ira-1 mensesuperiority of this cotton. Mr.' Wilson who has been a successful plant- j er all his life says that he has seen noth-j inglikeit. In the same field and ullj about the house were other fino specimens of cotton but nothing to equal this. A FIXE MULE. Cn our way to the house we saw a fine specimen of a mule, sixteen and a: half hands hiirh. which wo nil affirmed could not be beat, until our friend, the Postmaster, told us that he lmd one at home which was two hands higher,: We were then all like "the little boy the calf run over." The house is surrounded by large rocks, and some one asked Mr. Parker if they did not grow, as they geemed so unwieldy. Friend Tusten suggested that the best way of gettiug rid of them was to dig a hole and bury them; but after getting Mr. Chalmers to maxe a caicuuuion a.s iu uit-ir avuii uupois, concluded that tlie experiment! would not pay. A SUMPTUOUS DINNEK, After partaking of a rp^e lemonade' Seasoned with something stronger as an I appetizer, we received an invitation to | dinner, am} such a dinner we have nevpr seen. There was barbecued mutton: c^nd, baked mutton, chicken-pie and fried chicken, and roast pig and hash,' t}je nicest biscuit, and the whitest bread j nd the freshest butter, with rice and] vegetables, and excellent coffee* all piled ' up in such abundance that the table groaned under their weight, and a dtfzfiir ii or more hungry guests seemed to make no impression. Where all shone pre- 1 eminent, it would be unfair to particu- < la.iize, hut we must say that "friend ; Tusten bore oft' the honors?at least he J was the last to leave the table?friend i Parker pledged anew his devotion to * fried chicken, and friend Chalmers to chicken-pie...^e all returned in good 1 order, and werejn humor to enjoy J < Mr. Tusten's huniov.and Mr. Branch's :j ' For three jnortAlihours wo sat and < talked,ami talked and" sat, wiiilst the J jest and repartee went round, and mirth ,? and good-fellowship prevailed. A fea- j ' tare of tJ>fj-oc(.'asion to which Mr. Lawson calJj^gUr attention was this, that whilst'education, and base ball, and ' ' | laborers and servants were all discussed,! politics was entirely eschewed. It wasi conspicuous by its absence. FIXE WHEAT. Mr. Wilson exhibited to us after din- , ner some remarkably fine specimens of j white wheat, which was grown upon a lield of two acres, which yielded fifty;! bushels. He marie us a present of a | sample of this wheat, which they, offer! for sale, and which may be inspected at; our oflice. They have also a bushel and , a peck of seeri wheat, raised from patent j oflice seed, which they hold at The land of the flat-woods is well suited I for the cultivation of wheat. 11 THI-; PAKKKK 1'LACE. The "Parker Place" contains some < sixteen hundred acres, one-half of) which is in cultivation-a part being; I rented and cultivated by tenants, and j the remainder bv the nronrietors. The!I corn was planted on low-grounds away; ( from the house, and we didn't see it. ; LA HOE PLANTATIONS AND THE RESULTS. Mr. Wilson informed us that thousands of acres of valuable lands in this section were lying waste for lack of cap- J ital and labor to develop them The 1 hind was bought up before the war by'1 iarge planters, and the white population I 1 passed away and gave place to negro M quartes. As a consequence white neigh- 1 bora are scarce, afld it is impossible to 1 maintain schools and churches. Abet- 1 ter day is certainly in stpre for that sec- ' tion. The lands are the finest in the ' worl l, and only need labor and capital ' to develop them. 1 t A HETTEK DAY. 1 In the course of time they will attract |( irill lio <-?111 nn ititn suivill farms, will liml an out let for the produce L iu convenient railroads, and will become I Llie nursery of prosperous communities, i j Some of us may live.to see the day.j, After a pleasant day we returned safe- i ly, and tendered our best thanks to our: ^ hospitable host. L ? I A Nahkow Esc aim-:.?As our friend, |( Dr. II. I). Wilson, was driving on ?Sat-i, nrday afternoon, his horse "and now:" bugjjy down the hill on the Greenwood road, near the village, a couple of dark-J ies on the way to the camp meeting came j up behind, drivingat a furious rate, and i without warning ran into the doctor'siT iniggy, and striking one of the rear!, wheels upset it, threw out our friend,! . - < r ...J" nut caused a oreaKing 01 one ui im-i juggy shafts and other injuries. The j j loctor escaped himself with a few bruis- j ?s, and hut for the gentleness of his horse j. night have received serious injuries, flie darkies deserved a threshing, which ;,, ve regret that the doctor did not adininster. Perhaps their numbers deterred j )im. But for their iitipeeuuius condiion, we would advise an action. Musks and A a hon.?A friend told ! ^ in amusing anecdote of a good old,4 . hurch member of the Upper Longj' Cane church who generally had correct! ' 1 U..#. #!?.?

Perrin made 11 i speech characterized hy his usual force ana judgment, which so fully ex-i pressed the idevs of the old gentleman, j( that he rose excitedly to his feet, audi' ivith more brevity than eloquence, ex-1 iiaimed, "I move Mr. Perrin?he isj^ right." The ell'eet was tremendous. |' i' ? ? Tin: Meeting at W aukexton.? i, We direct attention to the notice of the I public meeting to be held on Saturday,! the 4th of September, lor the purpose of; putting down "'cotton bagging." Am-P pie notice will thus be given, and we L feel assured there will be a large attend- . auce. "Cotton bagging" is one of the crying evils of the day, and must andj^ will be put down; peaceably if we can, but forcibly if we must. It is proving! ruinous to the farming interests, which j j are thusjnade the prey of a band of uu-j scrupulous marauders. The issue is j between cotton-planting and cottonbagging.

Davis as follows: If Jefferson Davis is an unwelcome(' juestata Northern agricultural fair then ' i.~ n,,. I 1 no oilier oounieruer wiiu wu^uuu mvi.var can be welcomed. We do not see 1 ,vhere the members of the Grand Army 11 >f the Republic draw the line between < Jefferson Davis and General Longstreet, \ in less in this that Mr. Davis preferred :ocherish the convictions with which I' lie entered the rebellion, while General I Longstreet lias accepted the doctrines of < ;he republican party. Mr. Davis was no j J nore responsible for the rebellion in the;J South than any one of a thousand other;: men. In fact, before the war, while the;* |uesti<?n of secession was under discus-1( don, he was among the more moderate!' if the Southern leaders. There werej' :wcnty members and Senators in the 1 ,'.!ongress which preceded the rebellion! nore active than Mr. Davis in bringing!; ibout hostilities, and more responsible I j 'or the result. Mr. Davis and his col-11 eaguesin that (,'ongeess followed public . tpinion in the South, and did not lead ' t. Mr. Davis was put at the head of , he Confederacy siuiply because he had ' nore character than most of the South- , ;rn leaders.

The election <?!'; j Mr. Davis was the expression of a eon-1, lervativesentimenteven in the Southern | Confederacy. As President of the Con-!, edcracy Mr. Davis did his duty as well j( isheknew how. He-did what any other?| Southern leader would have done in the : same place. He stood hy his post to the .Mid. When he fell he fell with the!( Confederacy. Therefore, to deal with!' Mr. Davis as in any way more responsi-j ilc for the rebellion than any one of the i conspicuous men of the South before the! I ivar is to do him a great injustice ami:( nirselvcs a discredit."

He wasn't allowed to se,ect his subordinates*; he wasn't allowed to expressliis financial views in his report : when liristow wanted to see him he iised to send ft colored hoy for him instead of stepping down stairs as other secretaries had done; in short, he was ' put upon" in a way lie couldn't and wouldn't stand. "I sunnosc he wanted Lo got rid ofme," siij's tin*general. "Beuau.se I was an obstinate old nuile, and insisted on having opinions of my own. ind running my office in what I thought was the best way. He knew I j wanted to stay there very much; that my record as an official was something af which I was veiy proud. I had satisfied three Presidents and six secretaries of the treasury, and didn't suppose tiny one was dissatisfied till four months a<?o." He is satisfied that Bristow will find it as impossible to boss New around as Douglass or himself. New is a queer man?"a bushel of brains and good sense, and indenendant, too; has had several spars witli;Bristow already. The President won't let New he crowded out; in fact, of the'two, will bounce Bristow. Until within a few weeks, the President had supposed that his (Spinner's) resignation was perfectly voluntary, on accountof ill health, and was "very much surprised" at learning the facts. I-Ie couldn't be induced to take that nomination for the New York comptrollership; after fifty years in office he finds the sensation of freedom agreeable.

Sentimentally, it is ;i pity that the old gentleman's one ambition has been thwarted. Jkkperson Davis and Ii.r.ixois, ?Rockford, ill., August 14.?The excitement occasioncd by if. I\ Kimball's annoucemeiit that Jeflerson Davis would speak at the fair this year lusj been growing since Monday, when thej letter of acceptance arrived. The publication of the Tribune and other Chicago papers was the lirst information that came officially to Rockford. From that moment the excitement became greater, and now assumes an indignation that will not easily be allayed unless Mr. Davis cancels his engagement. The] ( rand Army of the Republic held an! indignation meeting and passed resolutions strongly protesting against the ae-| tion of the board of directors in invi-j ting Mr. Davis to speak. The excite-j nieiit is routined to Rockford, but ex-] tends to the country.

The alleged ph contemplated a massacre of the whiti on the _0th instant. It is thought no there will be no further trouble, thoug the details are meagre and indefinite. General 8henck, U. B.
