This is exactly right, and we gladly announce the square determination of the gentlemen who speak for these Hoard of Directors, a# above, to meet the charges at their door "without fear and without favor." Our fellow-citizens, doubtless, acquit us t>f the first, personal feeling in the comments made. We persistently abstained from all editorial comment in connection with this matter, so universally deplored on all .sides, until I the facts vouched for by citizens of unques| Honed character accumulated into such a ! shape as to make it our duty, as a journalist, ; to notice in the most unqualified words that j which had become a most grievous public scandal. Ahy other noticeav!is inconsistent I with our plain sense of duty, and would have ) served no possibly good purpose. We weighed every word we uttered and acted under a I deep sense of responsibility to the public as j well as to our fellow-iiltizcn*: under censhre, , j and Dave only to say It would be an honest j pleasure to us to announce to the world that 1 those who now rest under popular condemnation, after a fair hearing before the courts or I theeountry, had shown themselves blurnclliss. I We would odd that the severity of our com. I nient depends upon the justice or Injustice of | the charges,and such remains to be shown in | open court.

When frost has killed I j [ the leaves, much more trash adheres to cotton s j the picking Is more tedious, and the sample \ inferior to the early pickings. It is sound poU , icy therefore to push the picking as rapidly as (j possible. Corn also loses constantly?water , j;cts into the shuck and rots some?a uart falls on the ground and rots or is eaten by rats. As ? soon as dry, therefore, it is best to house corn. Where the wevil is troublesome, some wet the shuck as it is putln thecrib (the corn being previously dry)?others sprinkle a little salt and lime through the corn as it Is packet! away. In both cases, of course, it is cribbed in the shuck and this is always preferable? <the corn keeps sweeter and better and is less v. injured by rats, when they have access "to the crib. Hut rats ought never to be permitted to enter acorn crib. If there are no trees or nth cr objects which iney can ciiinu aim numi , which jump on the crib, uud it the latter is j put. 011 posts or pillars four feet hit;'' and cap- j " ped with Inverted flaring tin, or sheet Iron | Jj pans, she rats cannot get in. The stops should j bo movable (ladder-like) and taken down c whenever the crib is locked up. In ante-bellum times it wasucommon prac- | tiee to "bulk" seed cotton and let it get slight- J lv warm, to that a liltlu of the oir of the seed ^ would get into tin* lint and give II. a "creamy" J( look. This was thought to increase the beau- j tv of the sample. In these latter days we J doubt t he wisdom of sueh practice? too many " ^ln houses have been burnt of lute. It Is bet- . ter to gin as fast as picked, and either sell at , once or store away at once in.soine tire-proof , building* We never undertake to ndvi^c our readers !l about the policy of holding or sol Hiik cotton? the matter is loo uncertain?the laws which JJ novern thepriceof eotton are too little under- 1 stood, at least by us. The "situation" this ait?- s tuinn, seems however to be strong. The crop will not be as large as was anticipated some { " months ago, the supply on hand is unusually " small and cotton goods arc advancing in SJ price. Indicating a market not "glutted''? and if cotton is not rushed too rapidly on the market from the loth October to 15th November, it seems very probable that no Kcrious dc- r cline in its price is likely to take place. Loss of weight, storage, insurance, Ac., must, be V borne in mind, however, when canvassing h the policy of holding or selling cotton. WHEAT. j Besides gathering crops, preparation for wheat and the sowing of the same, is now in _ order. In our Southern climate the par- amount consideration is to secure early ri penlug of the crop. Quite a number of things may be made to work to this end. Karly variety? early sowing?dry thirsty land?heavy manuring?and probably liming the land. ^ May wheat?such as usually ripen about the ^ last of .May?are decidedly best adapted to }} our cliiuuU'and taking llie average or years " are surest to produce good crops. The later ' the variety tlie sooner it should be sown ; in ' the northern part of the cotton belt. by the middle of this month, especially on elcan ''i land whore therein little ap prehension from > t-he "tly." Perhaps a good rule is to sow ? about the tlmeof the Iirst killing frost.. Iligh j > dry, rolling lands, .with subsoil which per- . tnit-s easy drainage, arc decidedly hest?and such as have had clean culture during the summer, as cotton or cultivated pea fields? aro preferable. Opinion Is divided as to whet her it should be broken deep or shallow. ^ Deep ploughing retard# maturity of erop?to s that extent it works harm, but. on the other hand, it enables the roots to forage more extensively and gather more food from the soil. However this may be, all agree that thorough pulverization of I he soil to a depth of :t or 1 z inches is highly desirable. Repealed plough ings, harrowings and driiggiugs ought to be y given; much the same preparation as is _ usually made for a turnip crop. Sowing in drills is preferable?If nothing more is accomplished quite a saving of seed is had?with drills 15 inches apart, three pecks * of seed per acre is sufficient. I'lough in ma- J nurc, say 50 bushels cotton seed and 151) lbs. phosphate per acre, at the last ploughingglveti the land?then opeu shallow drills, sow seed and cover by running harrow in same _ direction as the drills run and finally roll the land. Have on hand by the 1st of March, enough Peruvian guano to top-dress at the rate of 75 to 100 lbs. per acre?and you will I have doneyour full duty to the crop, unless J you see fit to give it a light ploughing in " spring if the land gets foul with weeds. We suggested "liming as probably advantageous ?Its tendency being to hasten maturity and encourage fruiting-, upon this general principle, not from actual trial at the .South, the recommendation is made. SWEET POTATOES. Dig after first light frost?a hard freeze will Injure them badly, especially if the ground is wet. The surest method of keeping is in banks or hills. Leave a hole at top for venti- / lalion until the "sweating'' is over, and keep 11 rain water l'roin entering the hunk. Alter ;; or 4 weeks close up the bunk and dirt it heavily, adding more and more as the weather gets colder. The dirt shotrid linully beat least one foot thick. It is well to wrap the potatoes n with a good covering?S or 10 inches thltjk?<>r \ dry pine straw, and thcnashlnglingof boards L bark or cornstalks, belt re putting on the dirt, Dispose of the early planted lirst. the late planted will keep butter and be of liner quality iu the spring. J GROUND-l'EAS, ( . Dl? Just before frost? if the vines Jnrc killed Jj! and the digging delayed, the nut.s will sepa- 1 rate easily'from the vines and many of tiiem c be left in the ground. Run a plough?a hull' [? sweep?wilh wing set to run deep?on each l! side of hill, and then pull up and turnover the vines and expose nuts to the sun to dry. 1 When dry, they can be stacked up. and the v nuts pulled oil' at leisure. The vines thus c cured, make excellent forage. n SUGAlt CANE. J To novices, it may be well tosaj*, cift before p a hard frost. A freeze is destructive to the plant, causing the juice to sour. Select a high dry place?between two wide rows will answer?and lay the cane (with leaves oniin regular oruer, extending inu uuiiMiiruin smu farther in same direction so Iliat the tops will 1 sueeessiveiy cover up the butts t|ultc deep, then cover the last butts with earth.

Such heroic ( efl'orts, such hair-breadth escapes from savage officers,such perilous descents from third story windows, such impressment of hug-Ties, i such dashing across bridges and state lines.

Neither of these men were conscientiously opposed to a settlement according to the "Code." The officers heard of the littlcsochil meeting, an ar- t rest, was made, and a bond given. Of course ] no lighting could t hen bo done In South Caro- | Una. They went In double quick to Sand Bar Kerry, near Augusta. There the meddlesome officers again interposed. Then they made tracks for North Carolina, but that State be- r ing such a big > flair, these two parties arc said to have got lost from each other. In fact, they never got in "hollerln" distance, ' and for tills they are not to blame, for the old ' North State is the best place to get lost in that < mortal man over tried.

On Friday last, a little son of Mr. James F. , Mobley, about live years of ago, met with a ! singular accident, aud the wonder is that ho j escaped with his life. He had been to the gin I house where liis father and others were at work in the evening and had laid down on some cotton or cotton seed and fell asleep. I When they had finished work, supposing the boy had gone to the house, no thought was j taken of him, and the gin house was locked I up. As soon as he was missed they returned I to lite gin house and before reaching it heard ills cries and discovered hint hanging by his j hands from a window In the gable end: but before they could get to him his hold gave Way and he fell to the ground, a distance of | twenty-two feet, lie was picked up spcccliI less and breathless and it was feared his in| J uries would prove fatal, but we learn that he is now able to go about. It was certainly a j narrow escape.?ICdycflclil Monitor. 4 ^ ? Business Locals. Mfssti.s.
