We now give place, to lhe next biggest taie-iener. i ne crops, us far as we have heard, have sustained litlle or no damage, except the tine wheat field of Mr. R. K. Hill.

To those of our readers who are fond of genuine humor, and appreciate k good thing, we advise hy all means to read Dr. Blake's Essay on the Boy, which is the most graphic description of this genius homo that we have ever seen, and will amply repay all who read it.

A Talk Willi Hon. Annistcnd Hurt. Reporter?Mr. Hurt, you ijhvc had much experience in politics, although you have held noofiicoor position since the war, and your fellow-citizens desire : to know tiio result of your experience, laml reflections upon some of the ques! timis which confront us, at the present, and that we mtrst deal with in the future, j Mr. Hurt?Yes; I have had some experience in public uttair*, nt*d trow feel, ns I have always felt, much interest in the policy of the State, and the welfare of i our people, and although I liavo no ae{live part in the politics of the State, I | have all the motives of one who loves Iris country to make whatever contribution 1 I can to its counsels and deliberations. Reporter?Have you any objection i then to sifv. whether, in your opinion. tlio Legislature should he convened at an early day t<> redistrict tin* Sinte? Mr. Hurt?None whatever, as I have : given the matter some thought, and have | decided views on the subject. To be i sure, an extra session would cost sotnej thing, and the State could bo re-districtjedatthe next regular session, but the exponse would be a mere trille, as coinI pared with the good to be accomplished, if tho newspapers of the Slate are the reflex of public opinion, and it must bo presumed that they are, the propriety of an extra session of the Legislature i;? ?o obvious, ami its necessity so imperative, that they disdain to consider the expense? Reporter?Wo should be glad for you ! to give the readers of the IVcx-i ami flanj ?(.'r some of the reasons that have made you think an extra session necessary? j | Mr. Hurt?It js easily done. By an act of tlin present Congress, South Carolina j j is entitled to seven, instead of five, repre-; sentatives. There are now but five Con-' j gressional districts in the State, and tin-1 less the State is subdivided into seven i Congressional Districts before tho next) {election in November only fiverepresen-1 jtativcscan be chosen from these districts, i one from each, and the remaining two; | must be elected from the whole Slate, or. as it is sometimes called, by general licket, iu> are now elected the Governor i the Attorney-General, Siu? other State j officers. The approaching Con ;r?ssionil ' I elections, throughout tho United States, j | wo have reason to believe, will be the f I most exciting and the most stoutly eon-1 i tested that, probably, have ever been J I held. Tho nearly equal number of; Democrats and Republicans, in tho j House of Representatives in Congress, j and in the Senate, will cause the hitter j ! party with all the monopolies and cor! porations which they foster, and to throw j , into the contest, their vast wealth, their i j paid newspapers, and their no less venal ! public speakers.- The whole brood .of! I monopolists, the hordes of mercenaries j ; from the pampered and princely inanuj facturer to the fattest olllce-holder under I I the Government, will give his money, and his mendacity, to sustain the contest, nnd to swell the clamor. Tlie t:?rifV ! is destined soon to undergo revision, and ^the protective policy is in peril. The i charters of National Banks are about to I ' exnire and the banks want them renew- J led. Railroad and steamship corpora-! j tions want subsidies. The enormous | revenues from the tariff, and the rapid j extinguishment of the public debt, have j alarmed monopolists and corporations [and stimulated their invention to litid aj pretext for collecting the immense j revenue^ and devices to absorb it. All the natural, but fearful incentives to ef; fort^ money, the greed of power, person- j al ambition, sectional pride, no less than | ! sectional hatred will cause the political I Icauldron to simmer, and sputter, and j scathe, as it has never done in the past, j The fury of this contest will be con-1 deutrated in the South, anil particularly! in S mth Carolina. The defeat, by thoj veto of the President, of the law prohibiting Chinese importation into the United States, has lost to I he Republicans the Pacific States, and some of the Western States, and that party confessedly looks to the Southent States to recruit its' broken ranks, and to rescue the imperiled sceptre of its sway. If the State is | not arranged into st'Ven Congressional [ districts, the eloctiOil of two representatives by general ticket will bo a prize for ! which the Republican party will contend j with all it* mischievous might and all of its perilous power. All the vast machinery of the government of the United States, its glittering uniform and its gleaming bayonet, its array of supervise crs, its multitude of marshals, and all that is pestilent and malignant in its instrumentalities will be felt at every polling place from Oconee to Georgetown from the blue mountains to the blue sea. That contest would revive the antagonisms of the two races?the white man and the black man would bo arrayed as foes at the polls. The low, but ominous mutterings of the coining storm are audible in the political trials now being held in Charleston, and if we are not deluded and doomed they will not be unheeded. Those trials are intended to break the spirit, to cow and to crush the white man, and to brace and to b dster up the colored man. They are the opening i scenes in the terrible drama of November. We would deserve the most ijjn^L UTinions fate tlifln-an liefaff^if conquered I people, it we invited this unequal and ! horrible contest, to savo the few dollars 1 that the extra session would add to our taxes. It is a matter of inestimable impor- j tauce that the Democrats should have a 1 majority of the Congressional I'epresen- <' tion from I his State, and a proper arrangement of the State into seven Con- ( gressional districts would secure that majority, but as the Radicals will almost certainly elect their candidates in two of the present uistricst, and almost 1 certainly would elect the two from the I State at large, if there tie no re-district- I ing before the next election, is there any ' good citizen who, to save a few dollars, . would surrender, or even hazard that ' I ? -1! l.1_ 4.1, majority, which is so uiuisucusauiu i<m our peace, our social order, and our civilisuitlon ? These reasons for an extra session are 1 as obvious, as they are conclusive. If J the re-districting the State shall be postponed until the next regular legislature j shall meet, and the Radicals shall carry j the November election and obtain a majority in that body, an event quite within the possibilities of the future, the whole C'ongressial representation would be j organized to crush us, and we should have] madly Hung away all that we gained in] 1S7G. These dire evils may be diminished, ifi not wholly averted, by timely and judicious measures, and chiefly by sub-divid-1 ing the State into as many Congressional districts sis there are representatives. The whole power of the Radicals cannot be massed into a single Congressional district as is possible in the whole State. Hut especially, local and sectional majorities can not be overcome and crushed, as they would be bv the general election j throughout the State. We have suffered, | heretofore, all the evils that are inflicted | by the despotism of numbers, and having the remedy in onr own hands it i would be the mere pliren/.v of an ignoble meanness to refrain from it to save a ! few paltry dollars, when we should bet ' plundered of millions if wo suffered the; | foreigner, tlm negro, and the scalawag to j snatch it from our own unworthy hands, j I They mistake the spirit ami the manhood I | of our people, who suppose that they j would ever consent to bend their necks to the yoke arid l?are their backs to the I lash of a vulgar despotic n, to save or to (count the eo*t of resistance. I | The Instrument of Death.?Nearly all day yesterday small crowds ol pent plo were watching tlie workmen eonjstmctiug the scaffold upon which the four j burners are to be handed on Friday, and ' nearly every spectator seemed to regard j it with a sort of superstitious dread. The i platfonfl, steps and trap door were com-j | pleted yesterday, and by Wednesday the whole structure will probably belinished. The large trap door is fastened to the edge of the platform with a number of strong hinges mid will be supported 011 the outer I edge by triggers to winch small iron rods 'will be attached. Two heavy upright pieces will be erected on each side of the ,J flooring across which will be a heavy cap made of strong scantling. The platform ' is about eighteen feet from the ground; and tho unfortunates will have a drop of .over six feet, and the trap will be sprung I so that all lour of thoni will drop simuli tanoously. This operation will beaccom1 plished by simply pulling the triggers 1; from beneath the door, which will require 'i but a slight jerk from the Sheriff. The | crection of this appalling instrument Is s progressing rapidly in front of the win1 jdow of the cell occupied by tho con1 detuned men. Although three days inj tervene between death and these doomed ''prisoners, they manifest the same indif1 j ference as before, and otio of them remarked yesterday that "a great many people who were now walking around ! would be under the ground long before they would." They are anxious to have their photographs taken and seemed to be in quite a joyial mood, evidently not thuir ?iijisition.?Greenville <M't" ft (i yews.

Tho exquisite delicacy and refinement of Mr. (iibson's drawings were never more evident than in this series. Mr. Stead man contributes a thoughtful and interesting paper on "Some Louden Poets," which includes an account of a visit to Swinburne, and other personal reminiscences. Several finely engraved portraits are given with the article. Another illustrated paper is Mr. Johnson's description of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in which tho writer gives an interesting account of that famous mining region. A characteristic and excellent storv, called "On the Nine-Mine," is contributed bv Sherwood Hornier. Edwin Arnold contributes a lonjr Eastern poem of great beauty and depth, ailed "Love and Death." Poems are also contributed by Ada M. E. Nichols, Louise i Chaudier Moulton, and A. T. L. The Editorial Departments are filled with timely and Interesting matter. Sorgluim. The recent experiments made with the drain of the various descriptions of sorsrhum show how far wo have fallen short of appreciating this product; When first introduced to the United States, and for matiy years succeeding this period, it was prized almost solely for Its saccharine qualities. Therefore, it was planted and cultivated only as plant from which the nrvfinli> in the (Milflpr melons miirlif miiL-n syrup and silver, and (litis become independent of the tropical or semitropical regions where the real old-fashioned cane U^prod lived. It has served a good purpose'Ta^mhVfonsL -ty-- ~of'"sTTp^'viW syrup, and it is valuable even if it e'oiild exhibit no other quality. But, it has been proven by experiment that the blades make the very best fodder for stock ; tnat the stalks, in the form of ensilage, arc also valuable for this purpose) and that tho g/ain, when ground and mixed with other tilings, constitutes excellent food for milch cows, while in a whole state it is good for poultry. But we now learn that the grain ground and boiled, or silted, makes better batter cake than buckwheat, and that other bread, palatable and nutritious, can be made from it. When we consider with what facility it can be raised, and its very large yield, per acre, there is little room for upprehensioti of suffering a failure of the crops of corn or wheat. If each family has a few acres of sorghum they willjbe proof against starvation, and need not even be hungry. As it will crow to perfection when ordinary corn perishes for refreshing showers, every farmer should devote a small area of his land to its production. Thoso who have made experiments with sorgutn represent that, with seasons ordinarily favorable, one hundred bushels of the grain may be averaged per acre. Three acres may certainly bo expectcd to yield two hundred bushel of seed, or grain, and this quantity would he sufficient for the purpose of any family. Then it graciously yields syrup and sugar to render tho cakes, or bread, palatable, and likewise affords fodder to give stock a relish for its seeds, ground or unground. On the whole, this is a most wonderful product, deserving to be held in high esteem, and liberally cultivated for both man and beast. The Knights of Honor.
