OIUc Presidential Campaign ? Its I.t-atfiiig Issues anil its Prospects. For sixteen years the Hopublionn jfjarty has had control of the government, and this fact apart from any ^tiestion as to how the government been administered would seom to furnish a strong argument for change, as a long continuance in office necessarily begets habits of corruption ^rowjug out of a seiisex of irresponsibility ; but when to this fact we add that the record of the Republican party presciitsan exhibition of olliei.-tl corrtijtXion and mal-admiuistrution, which ^perhaps never before In the history of .? free people, inflicted such lasting inini v t<? fin. nutional interests, and such wide-s proud disgrace to the national > .character, it would seem that we have ifurnished an unanswerable argument tor the overthrow of the dominant iP?rtv. And this overthrow would have taJteu place loiifr ago, and the party hurled from power, but for Its war re.cord, and that it has sought to keepj .alive all the passions and prejudices ofi that bloody strife, and has again and Jigain appealed to the fear of the Northern people, that in bringing in a change of rulers they would1 endanger nil the results of the war, and jeopardize the integrity of the Union. It has proclaimed itself the .only true friend of the negro, the only Hure protector of the Union, the only safe depository of power, and has charged upon the South that it 1 * Annni'funi J.s ouiy wuikiu^ i v.i upiiMnu.,, tv to seize the reigns of power, to proclaim the Reconstruction Acts, "unconstitutional, revolutionary and void," to remand the negro again into > state of bondage, to .assume the payment of the confederate debt, and to restore all the secession heietues of tht> un(e bcllimn peri.011. j To sustain this charge the Republi-I .cans have hoisted "the hloody shirt," J in every canvass, have manufactured 1 .and circulated the most atrocious fclan-! ders agaii.st the good name of ourj people, have set "the outrage mill" in j .operation, ami have misrepresented every utterance of Southern journals .and every act of Southern men to sustain their charge of our hostility to the negro aud the Union. Again audi again this has proved their winning! card, and in the present campaign ig-| noring all other issues, this has been I made the leading issue in the halls of j Congress, on the hustings and in the; columnsof their leading journals. To this and Blaine and Morton have pro-j voked the discussion of war issues in j Congress, Wheeler has given exprets-i sion to all the exploded charges 1 against the Southern Democracy, andj tlic iVtw York limes ana omer rutui-j cal papers, seize upon every Southern disturoanco to ground u charge of hos-j tility to the government. They tell < us that the South is uureconstructed! Htiil, and to support their charge misconstrue every utterance of free speech, and every election of Confederate soldiers to places in the State and national government. Every as-: sertion of our rights under the coustifc lion has been pervorted into an aCT tempt to seize the reigns of government for unworthy purposes, ami the! very fact that misgovernment, State i and Federal, has banded the South to-j getherasone man, lias been made thej occasion for repealing the charge that} in seeking to overthrow Republican | rule they seek to overthrow the Union. This has been the only answer which has been made to the'eharges of corruption and maladministration j which have been established against ihe Republican rule of the past sixleen years. They tell us that the Republican party with all it* fault* is the party of the Union, and the only true friend of the emancipated nemo; whilst the rule of the South would ruin all. We trust that the time is pa.?"t, when *neh an argument would have its weght. For ten long years the South lias groaned undera load of oppression which would have crushed out the kept of any other people, and yet has left .her faith with the dominant party and has sought to work out her regeneration in f pite of plundering carpet-bagger*?, and thieving scallawags, has redeemed herself in almost every Southern State from Republican rule, and jriow under the beneficent sway of .Democratic State Governments has -showed that she is the true and best friend of the newly enfranchised African. If you wish to see communities in which the utmost peace and good -order prevail, and where the two races .maintain the kindest relations and enjoy the largest measure of prosperity, you must go to Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, where the Southern white race has vindicated its right to rule, by the excellent use which it has murip of its opportunities. But whilst the Republican party *eeks to control the Northern musses >by an appeal to their fears of S<?utii era ascendency, it will attempt to control the Southern vote directly l>y tin appeal to bayonet. But to this end the seven thousand Federal troops jiow stationed in the South will prove .entirely Inefficient, and more than .this, the attempt to coerce the ballot 4?y the strong arm of the military is ?o repugnant to the instincts of the American people that it would likely react upon public sentiment North of the Potomac, aitri the government would lose more votes from the Northern States, than \t is probable thvy would get from the South by this step. "This fear will constitute the chief restratfit upon tlveuseof the military in controlling the Southern vote. Tbe Democratic Canvass so far ?eem>? to promise the best results, and the cry of reform under the banner of rhe chief reform champion will doubtless carry tb/>-support of the solid men _o_ I ~ " ! of the country to the cause of Tildcn | ami ] lendricks. in the State oflSt^vj j Yoik the great Presidential battle is to! he fought, and we have every confidence in the result. Iu this contest! ; we can best strengthen the hands of; lour friends by refraining from all col-! lisions with the blacks, and showing! jour fidelity to the Union by maintain-1 ling peace and good order. We thus) : answer the calumnies of our enemies j ! and deprive them of the only weapon j which can give them tlie victory. j The Grand Katiik-ation ;it Anderson. i Editor Pri.?w and Banner: j Ssk: The grand ratification which j ! took place at Anderson last Saturday I was a great success. Auoevme was [handsomely represented by the two! ; border clubs, Lowndeavlileatid Antre-j 1 vilie. Your correspondent happen-1 |ing to arrive in I lie pleasant villi age of Lowndesville about the time} the company began to assemble, was !cordially invited by the entire club to! (join them in their jolly trip to Ander-I jSTii to hear our old War Horse, the! j gallant standard bearer of the Demo-! .emtio party make his first address and | I thus open what we intend shall be a! j successful campaign. Having noth-j j ing on my hands or mind I at oncej accepted the urgent invitation amij j .made arrangements for what I antici-j paled would be a pleasant, noisy and; j jolly time. The time appointed for' istarting was about 2 o'clock but by the j time all arrangements were made, and \ jour provision wagon packed and start-j led, the sun was far down in the Western horizon. We at last finished land left the city of the Fork with aj I yell of relief, which was returned by ! the bevy of fair ladies who had assembled at'the Hotel on 13road street toj ; witness our departure and wish us a {successful and pleasant time. Our j band with a few exceptions wore I young men, and a happier and jollier .'set never has crossed the border since ! Abbeville lost her independence and j j it'll into the hands of the seal la wags and carpet-baggers. As the company ! would pass the houses of our Anderson emisitis 75 voicss would send up the I patriotic cry, three eheere for Hamp ton, reform and home rule. Everyi thing went along assmoothely as clock j work until about nine o'clock, when : Colonel Harper concluded we had ridi den far enough and commanded a halt I about eight miles from Anderson vilI lage, at the house of Mr. M. Parker, j who by the way is a gentleman of the i lirst water and if he is an average J specimen of the Anderson planters I 'she lmda right to compete with old j Abbeville us to who shall carry the I palm as the banner county. Mr. Parj ker gave us the use of his lot, his yard, I Ins house, his well and hiw titue.* Al; ter the horses were picketed for the : night, the show commenced, which was to last until morning, the com! missary department had not come, land nothing was left for us to do but j to pass the time pleasantly as possible, j Hilly Shaw brought out a fiddle, part; ners were chosen, and the dance com-: ' meuced, and for two long hours they j cut up more pranks than a company j j of sioux Indians at their corn d^nee. j J About ten o'clock the commissary de-: | partment was reported on hand, and in I j fifteen minutes 7o horses and as many hungry men were discussing the merits i of the loads of goodies which had been Istored away by the loving mothers and wives of old Lowndesville. There ;is and impression that those traveling in this manner eat more than they j do at home. My experience on tliis < j trip, corroborates this opinion. 1 am! Satisfied that those seventy-five men, j hid as much victuals as any threei i hundred men at home. After supper the inusio started! again and the dancers prepared for a new campaign. The report was eircu-j dated that two white radicals lived i about a mile up the road who had! been making incendiary speeches to the negroes. A band of about thirty i was organized to wait upon these ] brothers. Their name 1 believe was j Young. They went up to his house, culled iiim out aim nau u qniex mm earnest talk about the course he was Cursuing; they asked him if lie hnd cen making such and such ' incendiary speeches to the negroes; lie said no I at first but finally came out like a man j ; and owned to all the charges. He had I j been talking to them and had been ! doing some very bad talk too. He was J told liy the spokesman of the band! i that lie surely did not know the terri-" | ble consequences of such a course ; j that he was a fomenter of strife and a*, i such would be considered as an enemy j to the public good, a renegade and ; traitor to his race; that lie was sowing a harvest of dishonor, shame and disgrace ; that he was dooming his family and innocent babes?those who had done no wrong before Glod and man, to shame and disgrace; that his children ami liis cimurens' cnimrun woum ur| taunted for a century to come with the epithets of traitor, renegade and radical: that his course would bring the law of public opinion against him?a law which would sooner or later master him as it has all traitors and renegades since the war. Young is a very ignorant man and was more to be pitied than blamed; he said he never looked at his course from this stand point; that if the consequences were! as severe as represented ho would j never speak another word to negroes on politics tnat he would not doom his innocent wife and children to such a miserable fate; that he was from now onward and forever a white man I and a democrat; that he was a reform-1 ed man; that his neighbor should never say again that lie loved the tie-1 groes better than his own race, and I believe the man was sincere, and ]! believe this is (he right way to np-j proach all of these deluded white! rads. They can only sec the office. I /They never count the cost socially, and j when in a plain and kind manner the consequences of their course is point-j ed out they will, as Tom Young, the reformed radical pf Anderson,see the error of their way and reform. About one o'clock the pie-nic crowd arrived?part of the company were oil' at a pic-nic and thus failed to starti ... i l,0,l 5lIklt| Ulllll Ulll'l Wllivi JV.Q,| dropped oft" in spite of the dancersj when such e yell of welcome was raised that has no parallel in the au-j mils of Anderson County. The writer jjumped 11 p and without dressing as he], Iliad never undressed, rushed out to j se-Awhat was up. followed by Colonel i Harper and Lieutenant Bock ham. i \ When we arrived we found thut the! [dancers were welcoming the recruits by two catching him by the arms and! joue by the neck and shaking the poor j fellow until he was utterly exhausted, j j We asked them to make less noise as | we wished to sleep; they now started | a game of wrestling, about this time, j I The more quiet and settled portion of j he company had turned in fence cor-1 j ners, horse troughs, wagons and alii available places were occupied l>y sleeping men. A band was organized ! with James Bask in and Willie Young as leading spirits. They would go up i to a poor tired fellow sleeping the j sleep of a fatigued body and easy conj science. One would cry whoa, whoa, while the other would shake a pair of gears at his head. This would cause j the man to bounce up with a shout of j fear and make him tojump about six I feet, thinking the horses were Hghtj ing near him and on the eve of crush| ing him to death. This is a fair spec-! ! imen of the many ways used by this) (jolly crowd to wake up the sleepers | and sciire them nearly to death. The last joke they performed was at the expense of J. Y. Jones, of Abbeville, I Aliout aii hour before day he wasl | dragged from out of the Joom house jand informed that if he did not give them a speech on the political situn-i ; lion not one of that crowd would j vote for him for sheriil'. He told them j j such a thing was never heard of be-1 fore or since Anderson County was j [settled. Taking no excuse they put him up in aeommissary wagon, gavel j him threeeheers and told him to go jit: he went, and for a half hour the j woods rang with denunciations against! the government, which lor ten years j has crusned us with its iron heel of tyranny and oppression. He was not interrupted during his speech and 'was lustily cheered when lie came ! down from his portable rostrum. This, we suppose was the first political j speech ever made at this hour of the ! uigbt in Anderson County. This was the last joke, the company I was ordered to mount and on towards I Anderson we went. When we entered the square we taw the large portly frame of our follow townsman, W. T. I Jirauch, standing on the hotel piazza. As soon as lie recognized us he raised i a yell which could have been heard j two miles. This w;is the slart uiul! cheer after cheer rang out 1'roiu the | immense crowd thronging in and I around i he Court House. I will give! you a description of the procession \ and speaking in your next issue. HAMPTON AND KKFORM. I Old Field Schools, j Barring Out and Ducking the Master. I mentioned in a former communication that the tirst school house| uuiit in tlie chinoun seiueineni, i was within ihe palaisade of l-'ort Boone, and that it was also used as a "meeting house" for religious) services. Our fore-fathers when they buiided to protect their little onus against the tomahawk and scalpkiug knife of tlie savage Indiaus, also took care to guard them against those more unrelenting foes?irreligion and ignorance. Thus sprung up that close relationship which so long subsisted between the church and the school-house, in which the paator often filled the responsible post of teacher in both, and when the religious influence which pervaded the whole resulted in producing that high moral excellence which distinguished the men of the past, I am not disposed to discuss the subject of education. It can require 110 argument to show that every system must be fatally defective, which ignores, or assigns a subordinate place to the moral aud religious instruction of the young. Better that a son should l>? kept ignorant at home, j than sent into the world armed aud equipped for evil. The writer very distinctly remembers the old log school house at- Upper Long Cane, when more than fifty years ago lie was was committed to the tender mercies of Domine Henry Fulton to be inducted into the mysteries of "Dilworth's spelling book" aud the more .v.... e ii.? iiusn uut; in vm-uuu-j ui uic inuii.i^>ii^44tiou table *an<l the llule of Three. Oh, happy days! Yet, not days of unmixed happiness, for sly old Dilworth had plaeed at the thresh hold of knowledge these lines: " 'Tis education forms tlie common mind, JukI as tlic tsvigis bent, the tree's inclined." And their construction was a source of continual controversy between the teacher and his scholars, and as he always had it bis own way, it was a constant cause of irritation to the boys, and the girls?poor things? sometimes suffered from a want of harmony upon the subject. Theu old 1'iKe, wno ruum." iuc iiiuui^uujiuhi table?we often wondered why lie did not make it "easy for beginners"?filled a page or two as examples how the thing was done, and gave the answers to each?these, the tooconfiding youth carefully copied, and when he presented his work for the inspection ulid approval of his teacher, he found to his horror that he had been purposely deceived and tlmt the whole was wrong?then the boy learned hib first practical lesson in life?to take nothing for granted though he find it printed iu h book, uud which was enforced by such arguments that he would long remember. As these "old field schools"?as they were reproachfully called?were established upon a uniform plan, and conducted for a like purpose, a description of one will serve for all. The building itself was of the most primitive style, built of logs out near the spot where it was erected; there was not a nail about it, except a few in the door, the floor was made of plank when they could be had, but often of puncheons laid down without much regard to smoothness, or evenness of surface, the cracks were chinked with liHWb of wooii driven between i the logs. Air and light were admitted by leaving out one or two of the side logs; a wide plank was adjusted at a proper angle before the opening, which served as a writing desk for the whole sohool. The roof was kept in place by weight poles, a capacious tire place with a stick and mud chimney completed the edifice. The master's out-fit consisted of a small table with a drawer, a split bottom chair, a pen knife, a flat ruler, a lead pencil, and a well-trimmed gracefully taperit)g hickory switch as the symbol of authority. "No limits were assigned to his attainments, and many of the teachers were good classical scholars, but it was an indispensible. requisite that he should be a man of character, write a good hand, spell and read correctly and possess a thorough knowledge of common arithmetic. It is hard for the young people of the present tinte to realize the difficulties and disadvantages under which their grandfathers and grandmothers labored in obtaining an education. Books were few . net ,\f on infnrinr fiilftlifv wrifillC paper was coarse and unruled, and but little better than the wrapping paper of to-day. Ink was made troni the liquid pressed from the oak ball, with a little copperas dissolved in it; steel pens were unknown, and mother goose from the farm yard supplied that indispensible article; pencils were fonneu from pieces of lead rolled and hammered into proper shape, slate pencils were the fragments of a broken slate, sharpened to a point. It may be as difficult for the "young gentleman" of the present to appreciate the school boy sports of the past. These cousistedjnclimbing, jumping, wrestling, running, and had their climax in "barring out" the teacher. This was rebellionof the rankest kind, but as the whole country in now celebrating the centennial of a much greater rebellion, [ can see no impropriety in giving my young readers an account of one in which the writer participated long ago. The plan was laid several days-before the outbreak occurred, the'whole school was informed of it, and all entered heartily into it, from the biggest boy, who whs chosen us leader, to me nine DHre-i footed urchin, just beginning to wear! "gallowses." When all tilings were ready, the older hoys repaired to the school house, early in the morning, and made the necessary arrangements for resistance. The teacher arrived at the usual time, ami found the girls and smaller boys collected in squads under the trees, he spoke kindly to them and inquired what they were doiug outside of the house. A pert little Miss replies "he, lie, you're barred out, and we are going to have holiday." The teacher smiles, passes on to the door, which lie finds barricaded, he then goes round to the long! window on the opposite side of the house, which he finds bristling with pikes?long poles sharpened at one end, he calls in an authoritative tone, "open the door," this brings the leader to the front, a parley is held, and conditions are proposed on the part of the leader, that the scholars shall have immunity for the past and one mouth's vacation. The terms being rejected, the teacher appears to abandon the field, and walks off. The boys are as busy as bees strengthening their fortilications. After a short absence the teacher appears in sight with an armfull of switches. The leader mounts the table to address his comrades?his coat and vest are thrown aside, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his collar unbuttoued and his face flushed, he stands up the picture of a hero, his words are few, "Comrades you see the tyrant approaches, you see the instruments of iiis torture,you know the consequences of submission, give me liberty or give me death." The boys shout "liberty or death" and the war opens in earnest, ?...i omfoil in the Kuirit of the ureal unit ir? ... 4 Virginia orator whose words they! Iih(I adopted as their buttle cry. The object of the teacher in to gain admission, when hy established usnage Ins authority would be restored, the object of the hoys is to keep him out, and they are terribly in euruest. About this time some of the patrons who hud been sent for, arrived, and generally a satisfactory compromise wuh effected. But ofd Henry wan of tougher material, and would listen to nothing out side of the house, but would dictate his terms from the throne. Allah's were assuming a serious aspect, when a few of (he stouter boys made a sally, and seized the teacher. Have you ever seen u swarm of bees pouring from a hive? or a nest of ants attack a worm which liuppened to fall in their way? Thus a stream of boys poured through the long window, fell upon the poor i nuiir.iiiii" ?nrri?Sii^M^.^iga?Baaa r I tcncher, and dragged him to the ! ground, half a score was on each leg, half as many hud hold of each arm, while some of the smaller boys seized him by the hair and held his head down, suspenders were called for, his hands and feet securely bound and in a trice the "man mountain" like another Gulivar,.lay prone upou the earth in the hands of the Liliputians. Terms are agaiu proposed, and indignantly rejected. Half a dozen boys join hands under his body, raise him from the ground and set oil' for the spring intending to punish him as scolding wives were puuished in olden times?by a sound ducking, a procession was formed, and the children take up the retrain, hl?n ?lnncr nnrrv hltn nlnnc? And we his Mends* wiil go ulong, Carry him along, carry him along." On reaching the spring the teacher said, "boys I give up, untie me." uothing more was required; he had never been known to break his parole; lie was at once released, when all returned to the house, partook of an improvised pic-nic made up by contribution from the children's dinner buckets, milk bottles and molasses jugs; and dispersed to their homes, as noisy and as htppy a crowd as the sun of heaven ever shone upon ?and uone perhaps happier than the poor jaded teacher. The object of these schools was not to "give" a child an education, but to place within his reach tbe means by which one might be acquired, to lay a foundation upon which the boy himself must rear the superstructure, lo "prepare" him, not for college, but for the active practicable business of lifp The first unhool tauirlit in the Calhoun Settlement of which we have any account was by Rev. John Harris. After the Revolution, Mr. James Wardlaw taught at the old artilery muster ground. Mr. Moses Taggart had ^School at Hopewell church about 1790.' Capt. William Robertson, the father of Dr. P. M. Robertson, of Charleston, had charge of a neighborhood school for some time. After him the Rev. Henry Reid, then Rev. Mr. Cater. About 1840 the neighborhood united upon Clear Spring as the site for a school house, where a school has been kept up, with the exception of short intervals, to the present time. The teachers of Clear Spring were John Taggart, Mr. Ramey, Mathew McDonald, Joseph F. Lee, Dr. James Mabry, J. Renie Blake and James L. Lesley. Mr. Lesley was a scholar of old Henry Fulton, and took part in the "barring out" He was prepared for college by AlpheusBaker. On graduating he chose the profession of a teacher, which he has followed for more thau fifty years. At preseut he has charge of Clear Spring academy? a school, and a teacher worthy of more extended patronage. A Night Scene. REMINISCENCES OF ABBEVILLE BY AN EX-ABBE VILLI AN QF OVER FORTY YEARS. As early as 1S39, Abbeville was blessed with the protection of a Town Government, and though they had no regular police, they rejoiced in a Town Marshal, whose name was Horton LHiggar or something else. He was one of the most amiable of men, and if there was any ordinance violated he was apt to see and invite the violator before the {nteudent, unless the person or persons were belligerently disposed, in this case "rather than hurt feelings" he woujd let them go. A part of his duty, aiid which he performed most gallantly, was to ring the l) o'clock P. M. bell; for be it remembered that at that date too Abbevilehad a market house and ubtlliu it. The building was of the Gothic older of nrphitufiture and stood between the Court House and Dendy's corner. The original intent of the bell was to inform the citizens when a beef was in, which occurred sometimes once in a month or once a week, and at no particular hour of the day. I have seen the tap of that bell produce an effect as moving as the tire bell at night, and within five minutes have seen the house besieged by all sorts and sizes of people, arrived with trays, baskets, buckets and dishes?quarrels common, and on several occasions regular "set-to's" about the choice of pieces. A town ordinance required the Marshal to ring the bell at 9 o'clock. Why I never read in print, ' and it also escaped private explanation or discussion. I suppose, however, there were three reasons: First, to Jet travelers staying an overnight knoiv that they were in an incorporated Town; secoud, to let the citizens know the time at which they could lie down or sit up ; and third, to notify such as had to carry passes, that no patrol was out. At all events Duggar performed his duty faithfully and punctually. I am now about reaching the important and pertinent historical facts. An "unpleasant row" having occurred between the Marshal aforesaid and certain naughty boys, the latter took occasion to avail themselves of the cover of darkness, to deploy as skirmishes in troiu oi ine iviarKei nouse, auu ai tue last tap of the bell to rain down upon the front and vicinity a shower of hail-stones, some an large as hen's eggs. On one occasion the said Marshal felt it due to impound himself for a full hour, and at several other times for a less period of time. His patience, however becoming exhausted and his pluck Increasing, he made so bold as to go armed with a shot gun, and the storm again opening, he fired, and soon safely enscouced himself in the bosom of his family, At this point his tormentors reinforced by a uize or two larger, plotted against his peace even uuder his own shelter. Among the elder "boys" was an old stajre driver Tom Tinsley who was willing to loan himself for a corpse; was enveloped in a sheet well saturated with red ink, placed on a litter and carried and laid in front of the Marshal's house. The official was called for, and a female voice from within replied?"Mr. l)uggar is not at home." The leader declared he was, and had killed Timsley, an innocent inoffensive man, and while they had no wnrrantand did not propose to arrest him, they asked and beseeched him to come and see the consequences of his rash act. Just after this something was heard to drop from a back window, then a sound like rail gently drawn across a fence, and then a rustling among the cornstalks. The female afterwards came out, and took a look and declared that some one else had killed Timsley, that "her husband shot toards the hevvuns whar no mortal man was, and more nor that hit had no ballses." [This in part the wi-itur know to be true for although not engaged in the first affair, he saw the Hash of the gill), (old flint and steel) and the blaze at the muzzle, thus proving a leading fact, the tiou of the gun.] Late in the afternoon of the next day, after all sorts of assurances, from all" sources, the Marshal returned from his distant retreat: a reconstruction satisfactory to all parties was argued upon, and forever thereafter the Marshal rang without fear of wind, rain or hail. * * * ?o>? From parties from Laurens county we learn that on last Thursday night a party of unknown men took out one A/.?riah Hutler, a negro living in the tumbling Shoals vicinity, and shot him to death, several balls having penetrated his body, lie was accused of the brutal assassination of John Kollet, and we also learn there u'hh HlroiiL'evidence tfointr to convict Iiim of thin assassination, ami we tlnix presume* li was thin that, led to Lliu summitry execution of justice towards him. Huch occurrence are to be deplored; but here in South Carolina, where law is made a mockery of, and the temples of Justice are even held open for the escape of such desperai does ab this man Jiutler is said to have been, we can expect nothing else. Chaos and anarchy will disappear when the majesty of the law is fully Jelt and vindicated.?Greenville Xewu.

September is upon us, and with this month begins the labors of harvesting the fruits of the past eight months' labor. There can be but little fault foand with the seasons during the past! year. The winter was warm, and the spring was, perhaps, unpleasantly cold and damp, but the early and latter rains have fallen throughout the Summer, and where the labor has done its duty, the crops about to be harvested are above an average. The heavy rams 01 juuegreauy uuuiugeu uunuiu crops, but, generally speaking, this year's farming has beeu a productive success. During this month much cotton will be picked out, and packed, and should be sold as soou as picked. E^rly cotton left open in the field is injured; thrown in bulk in the ginhouse it will heat and depreciate in value, andgined and packed and rolled under the shed, is liable to destruction. EJarly sales in the nearest market is always best for the farmer, in our judgement. Cotton should be picked free from'trash or dirt. Grit or sand adds to its weight, but subtracts from its price. Tr^ah only reduces the price while in the farmer's hands; it does not add perceptibly to the weight, nor effeot the value of the staple"? and so thoroughly does the improved machinery of the manufacturer rid -jibS staple of every vestige of trash, that he would prefer buying it a little "trashy," because he can 'get it cheaper, jlence we should pick cotton as clean as possible, and rapidly as it opens. Early upland corn should be gathered as soon as ripe during this month. Corn should be housed iu the shuck, and shucked as needed. It will last much longer, because the very iilumlrlnnf twill ntnL*A Ann UUIl yjl OUUVnill^ TT 111 UJMIW V44 w count the ears he uses for any purpose. Throw a little salt over the pile as it is housed , this will make both eattie and mules eat the shucks voraciously all winter. Young corn will ripen its fodder this month, and if the blades are to be stripped, cure well, and house at once. Fodder stacks are an expensive nuisance. Peas sown for manuring should now be turned under, not only the vines, but peas also. Remember, that to grow a crop to turn under and then take off the germ of the growth, the fruit of the vine, the concentrated fertilizer is taken off at the same time. Bury under the vine and the pea, sow the laud in oats as soon as turned over, sow to-day the land turned over yesterday, run "a dag" over it (an implement described elsewhere in this number), and the work is done till next June. Oat stubble, broken up well early this month, will produce a valuable crop of volunteer oats, if the land has not been pastured too closely with ulioort nr hiiira which in Tint. ftnt. tn hp t* V4 "MivM ? ? -r- ? ? the case, as these animals are rarities now in the cotton section. If it was not done in August, sow oats this month in cotton laud. Run two sweep furrows, then sow the oats and cover with one or two sweep furrows, depending upon the width of the cotton rows. The injury done the cotton by this ploughing is more apparent than real. Bolls do uot knock off as easily now as they will after frost, Select the'richest piece of land you have (half acre to the mule), nmke it still richer by fertilizers, aud sow it in barley early this month, two bushels to the acre. Old red land, heavily opened, grows the best barley. New fjround is the next selection. Sandy and does not pay in barley. A half acre of barley is more than half the feed necessary to keep a mule fat between the first February and first May. Sow rye with the same preparation recommended for barley, on gray or sandy land, and the sower, who has never tried it before, will simply be amazed at the quantity and quality of crrppn fnod h? will harvest duriner the early spring for all kinds of stooT;. The vegetable garden should now be worked over thoroughly, to prevent weeds and grass from going to seed. Onions shMld be planted in richly prepared beds, and collardsset out for early spring and winter salad. Look after the stock. They should now all be fat, and kept so. Very little trouble or attrition will keep a fat animal fat, but to fatten a poor animal is always an expense.?Rural Carolinian. ?? Troops to Protcct Democratic Negroes. The New York World makes some admirable practical suggestions concerning fhe troops which Don Cameron, acting under orders from Lieutenant-General Zachariali Chandler, will straightway proceed to distribute through the States of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Let the negroes everywhere, says the World, understand the truth. There are many localities where those color-, ed men who wish to vote the Democratic ticket are ostracised and treated with violence by negroes, stirred up to such deeds by disreputable white men, who pocket the profit and leave their dupes to be killed. The troops are sent South to nrotect the colored Dem ocratic voters in the exercise of tbe right of suffrage. Let them understand this. If there is any place where there is a probability that colored Democrats will be interfered with, let the local Democratic committee confer publicly with the United States Marshal on the subject. If he then applies for troops, well and good ; if he decline to do so, lot his antiwer be made public; It may be made of use later. If any I!cpublican orator undertakes to deny that these troops arc sent South to afford protection to colored Democratic voters, ascertain why they are sent and make, his statement public. Every Republican declaration that the army is to be prostituted to party necessities, is worth a thousand votes in New York and New England. Colored Democrats must and shall be firotected in their rights and persons, f it takes every soldier in the army of tlfe Union to do it. ??*> ? Ari/<fnl'm<nii t v Kiiht \Xr T 1.
