^ Profanity in the Pulpit
' If opr readers and the clergy will pardon
us, we will ask leave to call the attention
of the clergy to what,aeems to
i Ivi a u dn 11 i i i iiiu'Tmi^i their
lack of the proper regard for
If the teachings of the Tlurd Commandment.
We make no peraoQal allusiou
p to any one, but throw out tfre^Jjint with,
# the hope, if we are in the right, of dof*
? ing some good, but if we are in
^ \yroug, craving indulgence for presiimL^ng
to speak on the subject. \\ e refer
Lxo the very frequent use which some
fniiuisters make of the name of Him
. nvirin n< ami to the oractice of
^
If- using strong expressions, such as, "Hell
; bent and damnation bound," and other
r kindred remarks, which cannot but
^rate upon the ears of polite people, and
specially must it be shocking to those
f. wpo arc. more piously inclined. If a
j#*iinister, for instance, has occasion to
'T?pefrk-*nT~The earth, why can he not do!
^^30 just like anybody else? Where is j
' * the necessity of his saying "God Al-j
mighty's earth ?" Such expressions we!
t~- -Regard as absolutely profane, and as I
never pleasing to refined ears. In our|
opinion the minister who indulges in j
such language should be brought beforel
the propar church tribunal fer his of-j
t fence, and if he show not signs of repentance,
he should be suspended or ex-!
communicated entirely from the church. '
Wo have also noticed the more sanctified
church-members occasionally to
some extent following the example of
the ifliuister, and taking improper lib

In revential awe, and no where within
the lids of the Bible do we find excepting

j Ministers.
The Cost of Fencing.
Jfr \ye s,ee in an exchange an estimate of
the cost of fencing in the State of Virginia,
from which it appears to equal
the value of all the live stock in the
? State. The number of farms is estimated
at 73,849, and the cost of fencing
each at $400; making the total cost $29,&*{9,900,
whilst the value of the live
stock is $28,197,609. According to this
estimate;?
"Even if a four-field enclosure be
adopted, the expense would be six-sevenths
much, or it would do away with
only ope diyision line, and the cost
would be over twenty-five millions.
We may safely assume, then, that the
cost of good new enclosures for all the
farms of the State equal the value of
~ their live stock. Granting that these
enclosures require to be replaced every
twelve years, we have here a little item
of two and a half millions of annual
expenditures sunk in fences to keep out I
stock, two millions of which could be
saved bv requiring all farm stock to be
fenced lu, in standing pastures, or by
i ...........i.iu fonfloj rli?f hp linmlilv I
constructed.
It should be observed also that the
smaller the farm the greater the relative
expense, as it requires just half as mat y
rails to enclose twenty-live acres as prescribed,
as it does to enclose one hundred
aores. The poor man and small farmer
is thus much more interested iu this
matter than he ban ever been taught to
consider, but as we have said before, our
public men aud law-makers never attempt
to teach the people up to economic
laws, but rather mount the rostrum
to teach them how to vote.
We omit here the losses incident to
ouragriculture from successive droughts,
which by some are supposed to be due
iu juirt to the destruction of our forests."
The subject is one which addresses
itnelf especially to the agriculturalists of |
ourovvn Htate, and we trust that A.bbe-:
ville will not be behind some of her!
Mister Counties iu giving the "no-fence
law" a fair trial. In these times of de- j
nression it is ruinous to be forced to j
maintain so costly an investment?it is j
ruinous to all classes and conditions of
; our farming interests, und all should
unite in putting an end to the system.
The Difference. ? In the Spring
the impecunious farmer who has neglected
to improve his opportunity during
the Winter of making his own fertii
i/.ers, and has not sown oats, says to
himself: "I will give a lien on my crop
lor fertilizers, and will raise a big crop
of cotton?corn wou't pay. We will be
apt to have a wet year, and the guauos
will pay largely. The price too of cotton
will likely be high." But in the {
Fall the fact in, the Summer has been a j
dry one, his cottou crop will nut be half!
what he expected, and it will take a very j
large amount of the ootton at the low I
price, to pay the lieu for guanos, while1
a large part of the indebtedness on account
of the crop will go unpaid.
The" union meetings of the various!

were held nightly duriug the past week
and iut-eresting services were lield by
the pastors of the respective churches.
Very earnest and impressive discourses
have been delivered by the Revs. Martin,
Mood, and Pratt, before- large and
attentive audiences. Much interest has
been manifested, and a number of accessions
have been made to the church. If
these may not have equalled the sanguine
anticipations of some of the ministers,
they still have reason to congratulate
themselves that the good seed has
been sown, which will doubtless bear
fruit after many days. Much good has
doubtless been doue.
\ '/he Cotton Market. ? Cotton is
I opening rapidly, and is beginning to
fcome freely to maket. The cotton niari-..*

S Kt'l UUCIJ5 uuu aim II bun, ol
said, to the tiuanciul derangements at
home and abroad. Whether or not it is
going to improve, it is impossible to say,
as cotton, like dreams, follows the rule
of contraries, and delies all power of
calculation. In face of the limited
stocks 011 hand and the unfavorable crop
reports, the price ought to be high, but
then it isn't, and there's an end of it.
The State-Faik.?It will be recollected
that the State Fair will be held in
Columbia during the second week in
November, and that in addition to the
regular premiums, a premium of $300 is
ottered to the County making the largest
and best exhibition of its products,
agricultural, mechanical, &e.; and a
premium of for the second ; and a
{?remium of $1(K) for the third best exlibition.

and past success should stimulate

The value of a paid up life policy may
be estimated from the following statement:
A citizen of our county some live
. years ago paid $300 into a life company,
and afterwards took a paid up policy for
$170 for the $360 paid in. All the inter.
est that the company has offered to their
policy-holder in that time is one dollar
and ninety-one cents, which looks to us
very much like the company had confiscated
the whole amount for their own
benefit. Does any one ask us the name
of this citizen who has been so badly
? cheated? We eau give it.
Pooh Investment.?Our usually .sagacious
friend Mr. Robert Pratt, was
r caught napping about four years ago.
He took a life policy in oue of the Insurance
Companies for $15,000, and paid
thecotppany nearly $1,000, after which
he concluded that he would quit insurance,
and has now a paid up policy for
about $160, to be paid at his death, without
interest.

The Municipal Election. ? The , "
election for town council came off on j
Monday, and resulted in the election ofi ]
the old council, according to the ticket sto
agreed upon at a previous meeting of the! lav
citizens. The question of "wet and Mi
dry" was not raised, and there was no lar
opposition ticket run. The old council gr<
has given general satisfaction, and we 1
suppose could not be improved upon
with our present voting population.

Amouutof salary of agent 25 (KJ
Value of liquor on hand at the
end of the year 31 37
Does the agent owe the town or does

The Junior has concluded to settle the
whole matter and offers the following
as a solution of the difficult problem :

Loss in the business, 40 28
The agent owes the town 49 43
which would make the amount, $89.71
furnished by the town.
The town, we think, ought toquit the
business or employ a better book-keeper.
Situation of Farmers and the Impor
tance of the Oat Crop.
Editor Press and Banner:
Never in the history of our country
have our farmers as a whole been as poor
as they are to-day ; and they are getting
poorer year after year, and unless something
is done to stop their onward career
to poverty, they will soon be unable
to cultivate their laud. Why have we
become gradually poorer aud poorer since
the war? We think it is due to what
might be termed special farming, the
devotion of all our energies and means
to the production of cotton, neglecting
all other crops. We have continued
year after year the foolish policy of carrying
all our eggs in one basket, notwithstanding
our experience suggested
a division. The result of the present
system is this: in the Spring and Summer
months we have no money in circulation;
it has all gone hundreds oi
miles to buy supplies that should be
produced at our own doors. As long as
king cotton continues to reign with absolute
sway, there willahvays be a dearth
of money in the Spring and Summer.
If we would have plenty of money for
all ordinary purposes, for a money crop
our fleecy king cannot be surpassed; and
I itfi a wujj lu save njuiic,y, >vc uu jiui
think the out crop can be surpassed;
iand from what we can learu, a large
number of our clas9 have come to this
conclusion. The oat makes an admirable
substitute for Western corn, and our
experience is that stock thrive better on
oats than on any other grain. An acrt
of land will produce as many again
bushels of oats as corn, and oats are
much cheaper toproduce than corn, and
if sown at the proper time they are a
much surer crop. If oats are sown al
the proper time, on good soil, the yield
is sometimes remarkable. The presenl
season, Captain Jno. Wilkerson, oi

?Senator Newton Booth, of Califonia,
has delivered a speech in which he
> shows his position in regard to ex-Cons'
federate officers in Congress : But they
. tell us a great many rebel generals have
' been elected to the next Congress.
Why should they not be? When the
1 Government amnested them did it
mean to say, "We restore your right.*,
but you shall never enjoy them?" i
- When they take their seats in Congress
i it will be with an oath to support the
. Constitution of the United States. I do <
' not believe that the men who are will- i
ing to die for their convictions will be
most ready to perjure themselves for i
. place. Parties are but nece&ary evils.
There are great moments in a nation's <
life when the times Should rise above i
them. Why may not the true spirit of (
the people have Way ? This is the Cen
tennial year. Let it bo a "year of jubilee."
Before us is a grand outlook of
, liistor}'. Who shall estimate the power
and population of this country at the '
close of the century now dawning if we, 1
the people, are equal to the divine op!
portunity? Who knows what trials
may await lis, what temptations may
beset? Let us challenge destiny as one
people. Let us have the only union
which can be permanent?a union of
hearts. Lat the true feeling of the hour
find genuine expression unresrained;
and reconstruction will come?not by '
legal enactment, not by force bills or
writs of law, but in the hearts of the
people, like tlie dawning of day, like ;
the breath of morning, like the spirit of
the Lord.
Book Farming.?It is nonsense to <
suppose that education and farming are
incompatible. Still a multitude of men i
Hn'nt (lint. ?? oiirr* no fi man nf lihprn.1 fld- i
ucation attempts to farm, so sure is he
to fail. He, thinks the multitude, will
spend his time in reading agricultural
books, and, sooner or later, fail. This
is a gratuitous assumption. The most
of the meu who fail to accomplish anything,
worth naming, as farmers, are
those who can neither read nor write. 1
Some of this class of men make good
farmers, but their success is by no
means due to their ignorance. They
are meu of good observation, They
learn from others in every way what
they can. The process is a long and tedious
one' and no more successful than
if they had learned to farm from books.
What cost the book farmer only a few
cents and a few momen'ts pleasant
reading, costs this class of farmers
many years of toil and vexation.
? Yorkvillc Enquirer.
The result of the Congressional elec
tions in Califonia makes certain tne
election of a Democratic President of
the United States if the election should
go to the House of Representatives.
Califonia, we believe, makes the nineteenth
State that has elected a clear Democratic
majority of Representatives, besides
there are two or three other States
whose delegations are equally divided or
controlled by Independants. Mississippi,
Conneticut and New Hamshire have
yet to elect Congressmen, and the Democrats
have good prospects of carrying
each of them. ?Columbus Enquirer.
The item is interesting, but there is not
the remotest possibility of the election
going into the House. The Republicans
could not to-day carry four States for
President, and by the time the election
comes off they will hardly be able to
carry one.
Tiik Pea body Fund.?Superintendent
J. K. J lilson has opened a correspondence
with the agent of this fund
in the United States with a view to securing
some of its beneiita for the public
schools located in the various counties
of this State* The fund is distribited
with the greatest care, and its beauest
are always directly proportioned to the
amount contribited iu any given locality
for educational purposes, this precaution
having been found necessary to
prevent its waste and misapplication,
flwing to some mismanagement, South
1 Carolina has up this time derived little
or no benefit from the generous gift
' of the lamented Peabody, while Georgia
and many other States have secured
| their full respective quotas.
Clara Morris, (Mrs. Harriot,) the rising
genius among American actresses,
has been enduring, in Paris, the terrible
treatment that Brown-Sequard gave to
, Charles Summer after the Preston
Brooks assault. Her health had been
failing for months aud her later work on
the stage, and journeying, when really
i unfit to travel, through Great Britan, dei
veloped spinal disease to a degree so
alarming that themoxa was resorted to,
i burning the flesh along the sides of the
spine heated to a white heat. Clara
bore it bravely, without a shrink or
groan, and the doctors said it was a wonderful
exhibit of nerve. If the disease

| The Governor Elect of Califon1
ia.?1The Hon. Wm. Irvin, (he Democratic
Governor elect of Califonia, is a
native of Butler County; Ohio. He
went to Califonia in 18o2, and in 18(51
2 and 18G2 was elected to the Assembly.
3 In 185(3 he was elected to the Senate,
? and re-elected in 1873, being President
"Iof the Sentepro tcm. under Governor
' Booth. He was elected to the Senate
I again, and became acting Lieutenant
Governor. He is now lilling that ofliee.
From 18G6 up to March last he has been
1 adorning ihe editorial chair of the Yrc1
ka Union, and lias there had an excellent
9 experience for the new position to
-1 which he has been called.
The grasshopper is a little insect, but
he has large powers of consumption and
j never travels alone. The official report
of his work in Minnesota last year has
L_ just been published.?Twenty-eight
" counties, including 204 towns, were visit|

e is a fearful one, and affords people at a
i- distance a more vivid conception of the
e extent of damage done than mere descriptions
can furnish.
Money is so plentiful in Massachusetts
a: that one savings bank at Northampton

Credit in the
United States.?The Financial
Chronicle discusses this question and i
shows that we can have such a credit .
here as is common in'France and in all :
rich countries but our own.s We quote: <
We must build up on a sound, trust- j
worthy model a system of agricultural
credit, must divert into this channel as
much of our floating capital as can be
safely vestefl in such permanent forms j
and converted into^flxed capital, take !
such effective measures and give such
complete guarantees as shall attract foreign
capital as well as American capital
into these new channels of investment,
and, finally, we must favor the efforts
making abroad, by which the business

Says the Scientific American: If raos- quitoes

sleeping rooms at night, we uncork a
bottle of the oil of pennyroyal, and these
animals leave in great haste, nor will
they return so long as the air in the .
room is loaded with the fumes of that 1
aromatic herb. If rats enter the cellar,
a little powdered potash, thrown into !
their holes or mixed with meal and scat- "

drive them away. Cayenne pepper

The Chief of police at Milwaukee,
when asked if he "wanted" a certain
prisoner who had been captured atNasliville,
wrote as follows: "For God's
sake kill the scoundrel, so that I can atto
my legitimate business, instead of answering
letters similar to yours. There
is not a city or town in the United
States where the rascal has not got into
some scrape or other, and then when
too late I am written to. Kill him and
I will pay all expenses." The scoundrel
in question was Copeland, who was tarred
and feathered at Nashville for asserting
that ex-President Johnson died
drunk.

claims an easy working majority in the

a large portion of the union.

We have seen so many instances of
this kind that we do not doubt its correctness
ill a single particular. One day
we saw a farmer killing woodpeckers.
He was making a generel assault upon

"What are you killing those birds for?
They are not good to eat." "They are
"destroying my roasting ears. They

the grain-.",
"No they don't. Come over hero in

then went to an ear of corn the bird
had pecked a hole into, threw back the
shuck and showed him that the woodpecker
had not eaten his corn, but had
taken a worm from it which was eating
it.

Abbeville, Sept. 15.
A telegram received in Abbeville yesterday
evening from Charleston, reports
the cotton market as demoralized, and
quotes middlings at 12jc. The reason
assigned for this depression is the reported
larga crop, which Is estimated^as
nigh as 4,500,000 bales. Owing to the
long dry spell of weather, the receipts
at the ports have been remarkably large
up to tliis time. The market in Abbeville
may be quoted from 11 to 12c. The
latter figures could only be realized on
collections.
