Except for a fen* partial showers, the crops! *re still sutfering front the IjUij: cojiUnnejl ju ?mTdijh"trarwi4l^t^m-t^Sroi nKKf>~uiikrh ivo have had during the last two weofcs. t; pooie soutions no rain < !!* >; f.?i six weeks, ivhtiA other sections havchad none in four or Ave weeks. Tlie area sown in oats ami wueai in is smaller than Inst year. The wheat so far as t.i we huve heard, has not suliered with rust and tl: the prospect is, that frotn 1 he lajnl sown, a lair ^v crop ol. tnjs grain will bo garnfe'ed. Tlie re- ri ports from the oat crop as a Whole is morediscourailng than for any previous year. The! dry Fa^.i prevented many of our farmers from r.e seeding their land at the proper time. Krotiwm this causea number of planters were forced to to delay the sowing of a large part of their crop ? ? 1111111 wet seasons when results from th? crop at aie considered doubtful,and almost wholly dependent upon the rains in May. These rains E did not fall, and as a consequence, the late: sown oats are as near a failure as wcever real- if lae In Ihls country. Though their crops are c<: ^ not as go'id as they could wish. Those who v?vcre fortunate enough to get their see l in the sii grrtttnd early In thcseaspR last Fall, will tlnd al themselves in mucn ncuer cunnnivii k.i.n. m their less lucky neighbors. At triis tii'rto It is ; Impassible to estimate the oat crop, but if is w: Very short Indeed, ami the disastrous results ai *>f lalo sowing were never more plainly shown b? Zlian at this season. With the experience of to ,'tho past winter.fr.jsh In their minds we have io 'no doubt that our farmers will not strain be in fri a condition to suiTer so severely another year. s?i The only safety Is in early sftwlns, and we m L .Atonic! advise our planters lo be not s ow in $) making their arrangements for scsd foranoth- a\ or crop. Owing to the scarcity of own, and tithe shortness of the crop, their wUl bv in a a-, very short time, an unusual demand for set d, 'ami those who neglect to make early arrangements to procure It, will tlndthe truth of this sc remark forced up< n them to their cost. Ow- p; ing to the hardness of the ground. work ! ci of planting corn has been discontinued forlw nearly two weeks. While this is true tfte ;ii farmers have not been idle. Their cropshavo at been thoroughly worked. Rut the stand is ol bad. In about one-third or on-Minlf of tho a! fields there ts a good stand, while In tne re- cr in.-Under of the fields there ts every destrce of Irregularity. In some Held* there Is not more ii than a quarter of a stand, while others will range from half to three-quarters of a stand, e< Ttte weed for this date, is small, and in some. In sections It presents u dead or sickly ri):>|>ear- n mice. Cotton to mature, with proiltable rc- w miltsshould have been up at least two weeks n tigo. With good rains to put ths bottom lands j in condition for plowing, the work of plant-; Ing corn will be resumed and pushed forward lo most vigorously. as the season for pl-?niing Is w wearing toaeiose. A? yet not half a crop has tl been planted, and the feed in uVer half of the it laud which lias been planted still lies, cither si rotting or waiting for the necessary moisture in to germinate. While many of our farmers l> choose to spend one day in the week with .their iiands and teams at the stores from ft. .which they pot thesuppiieS which tlreV should i raise at home, yet a large proportion of those in who cultivate the soil have w<rkcd harder and w ^inore cunstantty this season than ever before,' a< ^?^fihd have evinced a commendable disposition pi to economize, and make themselves thrifty c< and independent. Asa whole the outlook fori crops in Abbeville was never !es.s favoir.blcon !? the tlrsT of June. ? ft Union Sunday School Meeting at GrctK- ^ wood; u Y | The sundny schools of Greenwood held one! of their union nicotines hi t'ie Presbyterian w church on last Sabbath.

It is to be | ? hoped that the merchants of that town will I j; enlarge their ideas ji little and close at six fi o'clock, thereby giving themselves and their j. "employees the needed recreation through the . . liot dull months of Jurte, July and August, i., They can lose nothing by it, while adding i.. gretaly to tlit. pleasure of themselves, their | v clerks, their cousins and their annts. Social* i ly, the summer months are the pieasantest In ' Abbeville, which could not be, if every mer- i chant kept his store open until bed time.

Numbers of larmeis who were raKe-.l ; j id died on a plantation, never knew what i 111 ink to make a crop. Too many of our good 11 hite citizens work hut little, and think less;; < ill such farmers will always fail. ' \ 11. Well sir, arc not many of our Ipnds In ( Jgcficld (juite poor ? .1 A. No, sir; there is 110 land so poor but that I properly matViged. will make plenty ofii rrn, oats, or cotton?Our main crops. j | tj. Your land, I remember, whs once con-;, ilcred very poor,and they said cotton would ways rust on it; li<?w have you managed to: < akcVuch fln-c crops .on it?

Did yon consider that f ilr yield ? i < A. Why uo, sir; no living in thai! So the > 3 scoiul year, I sowed down the land I hud anted In cotton, used 'JOJ pounds .Soiuble Pa- ] lie Gh hio to the acie on cotton, worked it j ell, and ntade'JO) pounds of seed cotton on j ic land lately sowi d down in oats. 1 also put 1 lout 10 bu>hel of cotton seed and 7> .pounds . " Uuano per acre under corn, and gathered ; i average of bushels per acre; and my oat , op yielded 20 bushels per acre. (j. What is your opinion in regard to sow- . ig land down in o4ts,? A. That is one of I ho great vcrcts of sue- ' as with a planter, I have bean sowing my j1 .lid every oilier year. I so.v down luilf oft: ty !?n'd every year, following the next year!! ith co:ton mostly, as I have not needed | inch C(Jrn lor the last few years, -1)<> you t^iiuk Guano pays? A. It certainly does, where your land Iras a it of vegetable matter in P. and is work'd 1 ell. Guano, like sonar lu'collee, sweetens up , ( le vegetable food for the plant, and pusln s ', forward to an'.earlh r maturity; but with the ipsho'd, carulcss way in which most farmers ' se iruaiio. I doubt if they llnd It very prolita 12. Wl?jvt will moke a good vegotable lood ir huul ? \ A. Cotton se?d is a good manure, I have Dt*i? usiiig about. ii bushels of cotton seed itli from SO t?? loo pounds of gnano to the . re, and I gather about twelve bundled ' muds of seed cotton per acre?bushels of ?rn or 'JSi or30 bushels of oats. When do yon consider the best time t<> >\v 6ai? ? A. We>l, I have sowed oats that were too mvard In the spring, and got killed In the not, but it grew up again. I sowed some in eccinter lust year, and gathered jo bushels | ) the acre. ti- Does your cotton stlli.take the rust ? A. No, For the last two years my land' in not give cotton the rust and I asslgo this, s a reason. 1 manage to work In a heavy jat ot-stubble every time 1 sow the land?i Ci'ds. grass, straw, Ac., and besides Iii'-ver!1 t my stock run on my stubble lands. They nt up all the weeds grass, and otbor vegeta-1 on, and I consider t-fcM.s sort of stuff more ' uluabto than litter out of the woods; anil j lore than that, stock should not walk on; mil and pack it together: it kills the soil and lakes it rough to work. The changing of my 1 ma and always giving it plenty of vegetable. >od, has cured my land of the ru<t, Q. How do you*i>reak your land? .\. I use a narrow long i-oo'er, to break land 1 nd I put It in very deep while I can get it u the clay, but never turn it up. I never! low my land when wet; that will kill any j mid?especially oaky woods like mine. With I rudentploughing.and changing all the time i oin cotton to oats, 1 think it perfectly easy: i) make 2500 lbs seed cotton on land that now , lakes IHGI), and which originally would make nly iietween'3'.K)and JOti pounds per acre. j ij. How do you lay oil* your cotton rows ? i A. I give plenty of distance. Cotton is a 1 mi plant, and must have room to grow from ' lie powers of the sun. Where tiie land is ood, cotton rows should be laid oil SVj to i *et, r.nU left from Is to 21 inches in thc'di ill. I he rows should also he laid oil' very level, mis to lioltl all tin- rain thev can in the sum ier. We people among the hilly regions of Mgefield, lmvd been neglecting this matter 111 some of our lands are nearly all (tone. If: lie water can run in the rows, .it washes out he middle furrow anil every shower that omc* runs oil', and very Boon the land Is dry gain; bottles, It washes oil'the soil' ami soon our land is all washed uwny and tilled with, icep red gullies. One great advantage in owing land down. Is that it will soon stop 11 llie washes, provided the rows are laid oil' ight when cotton or corn is planted. (.J. l)o you think'land needs rest ? A. Just us mutch as man do%*. We ought1 0 plant our land one year, sow it down one rear and let it l!e idle every third vrur, turn-: ng under th'' weeds and stutt'in tiie winter! vim a turn p'ovr, and manure heavily when ' ve Begin working again. Then our land1 voilld never wear out: and besides, two hales i ?f cotton, or SO bushels of corn, or 50 bushels I >f oats, could be gathered l'rom each acre! iVi.cn you did work it. (?. What would be the result of such farm- j k. Ah! Ifotir farmers would only study this ' :rea', glorious business of planting, we would 1 mve no cotton toiu<t; we would have plenty jf corn and oats to feed on without getting It { it big prices at the depots; we would all get to ; inking money in our pocket*, and in a few rears our country would be a new land. Q. Do you think many of our people arc j nuking any money at farming? A. No,sir; I do not see how a man can live,; alsing only .jiH) or (J00 pounds of cotton to the ; icre, from 8 to 10 bushels of corn, and only I ihoui3 to 3 acres of oal land sowed to the , torse, H, What do you think of oats as a food for; IUKH: 2 i A, There Is r.ohe better. Always sow down i is much Ifend in oats to feed your horse on 1 is he can work in cotton, and you will have! )lcnty to feed him oh without having to raise j nucli corn. Corn Is an expensive foo t; and i >esidcs, oats are a much inoje healthy food ban corn, I always raise a little corn, audi an always spare some, because I reap plenty >f oats and do not need thp corn. May we all levote more earnest, patient and profound j bought to tliiB Important matter, and become i 1 prosperous people. Before the war, we night have paid no attention to farming, out, i sir, we cant live that way now. ?

The revision, 1 think, will not rionsiy disturb any doctrinal und duiomi tiotial prejudices. T1?K KBV. 1)R. R. S. TRAI'IER, of St. MiehaH's, said he had not yet rend I revised edition of tli** New Testament, a was not prepared to express an opinli From what lie had heard and seen of 11, hi ev*r, he was strongly Inclined to theopin! that the revisers had made a signal failure their work. They had, he said, Introduced manner of frivolous changes which were rc ly not emendations, and hue! left imi>orlt errors in the old translation uncorrected, did not think they had in any way impro\ upon Iheold version. .As to the adoption of the n?w version place of (he old by the church, he said he v satisfied that this wouldat least never bed' by the Kpltcoual Church. The question of adoption could not. he said, be acted on urn six years as It would ilr?t have to he subn ted to the dioceses and then to the Geiif Convention three years hence, and would all probability be referred to a committee that Convention to report hack to the n Convention. There would undoubtedly b strong opposition to l.ts adoption by Church.and It was his firm conviction tha would never supplant the old King Juun version. THE REV. nit. 0. c: 1'tNCKNKf, the rector of Grace Chnreh, said that lie i not had tiui<\ as yet, to examine the work i was tiot therefore prepareiNo gi ve a eritl opinion with lefcrcnce to Its merits,. Fr the extracts which he had reaa in the ?iews fcers alul the criticisms on the work that had seen published he was satisfied that, " Revision " was a much more correct Iran Hon of the No\v Testament than the K James version. Thl?? fact of course wo render the work a very valuable one, butfr what he had been able to learn he was of opinion that While rhero was a valuable g In accuracy there W&s also a sacrifice of m of the .strenCtfi", Vigor and beauty of the version'. .... , . , . As to the adoption of the revised verslot the churches, he said that this could not done unMt the meeting <5f the <ieneral C vention of the Episcopal Church in 1'hila phla, three years hence, and as at present formed he did not care to express an opin ; as to the probable action of tiie convention this regard. I While the number of changes mode by I revisers was much greater than lie had an I lpated, he was inclined to think that theii bors had been very carefully performed,: I that the result of these labors had securc | very correct translation. THE REV. DR. JCNKIN, pastorof the Glebe street Presbyterian Chui said t hat ho had not examined the work " sutilcient accuracy to forhi an opinion for j licatlon. THE REV. vr. T.
