? J. Sis Press and Banner. By Hiigli "Wilson. Wednesday, Teb. 14, 1382, Our Court. Judge Wallace is s;i!l linMin.'; Court ii Abbeville, and l?y his courtesy, patience, and attention, lias won the good opin Ion of our I'ar. In 11 very quiet way, without any bluster, or ostentation, In has done a creat deal of sinail business. The cases which were to lie tried at thi* term were of the least possible interest t' judge, lawyers, jurors, ard by-slamiers,; and, as a con^cqucnce, but few spectators j have attended tlio daily sittings of the! Court. Since our lawyers are v> wt'll! plca^od with Judge Walla?*?\ w;> aro son \ ! that our dockets could not afford at b-n^t j one case which wotild bavy excited pub-j lin .,.,1 ?n.,M i,t, nishcd occasion for g'caler legal and ora Torical contests. Third Day. Court of General Sessions was railed Wednesday morning, lor a l! i? ?i i day's work. The first case taken up was the&Snto vs. i Georire Sheal.v, indicted lor larceny from j 1 lie tiold. As was stated in last wee..'s account, Geortre appeared at the !?ar on; Tuosday morning without counsel audi asked for more liuio to summon some I important witnesses. liutthis proved ?? ! be only a pretext for delay. 11 is t ase was called again Wednesday, and after a short j trial the jury returned a verdict of unil- j tv. George was then told by l!io Court t??i stand up and lie was sentenced toimpiN-j oninent in thoSSate penitentiary lor three j -^ears. I'ne only murder ease on ilie docket 1 was then called. The State vs. John Ar- i nold, indicted for murder. W. C. Me-I Gowan, Esq., and T. 1*. Cotl'.ran, | represented the prisoner. This was a; ease of self-defence. Wyatt Cozby was | very jealous of the attentions tint J<-!in j Arnold had been paving his wife and had j repeated'y made violent threats airaiusii Arnold. These threats had reached t!iej ears of John Arnold, who prepared himself for any attack. On one day of last' November Wyatt Coy. by followed John. Arnold on his way from church and coin-; menced a ditHeulty by striking Arnold ' over the head witii his stick. Arnold then drew out hid pistol and shot Co/by I in the head from which wound Coy.hy 'died in a short while. l>oth of these par- | ties arc colored. A pistol and kuil>* werol found on the body of Co/by, showing hei meant to do violent work. The jury i were out onlv a short while and oroug.it! in a verdict of not guilty. The last rase of th?? Criminal Court was! tlie State vs. Fletcher Hall and Darcasj Hal!, indicted for grand larrony. A.j Burt, Esq., and W. ('. Mc(??uvau, K*q.. conducted the defence. Fleb-her Hall was convicted, while Darcas Hall was found net guilty. Thursday ."Joruing. The first part of this day was consumed in hearing motions and passiunorders in- j cident to the closing ol" thecrimiunl term. J A. Burt, Esq., argued a motion in arrest of judgment, and a motion for a new j trial in behalf of Fletcher Hall,convicted j 'of larceny. Cut the Judge saw no reason [ why either motion should prevail.: Fletcher Hall consequently was sentenced j to one year's imprisonment in the peni-! tentiary. Tne jury had rocommended I Jiall to the mercy of the Court, and this] circumstance, wiih counsers appeal had I ferC.it weight in lightening Had'a sen-! lenee. The Court of General Sessions then adjourned sine die, alter a short bat busy i term. The petit jurymen were dismissed from Thursday to l(fo'clock Tuesday morning.j The interval was consumed in argu-j ments before the Judge in the Court of j Equity. Tuesday .liormug. Court of Common Fleas was convened and the jury rases wcto immediately taken up. There are many ca>es on the docket and it is probable tlie jurors will bo entertained for the remainder of the week.

As lor the latter trouble, Mr. Terry says iie lias found hy experience that si in up:-cull be removed al a cost, often ec.itsapiece, tor th" former, one ot his esperiuvuts will answer. <111 1111* i!1111 of last April he broke up a field of twelve aeres of ordinary upland and on the '.'Sill, lie planted ii In eorn, using one sack of (.mi a no lor the whole. Hy the ordinary method with ii plow il. would have required two and a half days work of a hand ami horse to cover this. The harrow* wish two horses and a hand covered it in half a day. Where he would ordinarily h?ve::iven It two hoeings. he simply drove the harrow over it twice, ami therefore instead of having fourteen days work of a hand to pay for. he had only two half days with .i harrow, one hand and two horses. lie found that the harrow did not pud the stalks from the irround. and cairieil doublers lo the Held and successfully defied ihein lo point to a .single sialic In ail Hie twelve sicresshowing any ill eflecls from the teeth, lie only gave this field one ho"ing, employing a colored woman to go over it .lo replant and thin out. If the land had heen .siroim enoiu'h to stand two stalks in a hill uolioeini; would have heen necessary, as the harrow covers the grass and pulverizes the ground thoroughly. In Illinois and Indiana, where Mr. Perry observed carefully the met hods of raising grain, a hoe is never seen in I he fields. The yield of corn on the twelve acres cultivated wilh the harrow was it'll bushels, although the good re?u!t is attributed by Mr. l'rrry partly to ills not pulling the fodder. nun process, 111 ms juu^mnu, causing uie grain 1 c? shrink. lie gives the following comparative fltrures as Ihe result of his use of the improved harrow : oi,n Mirnioi).

Any farmer can ligtire In a few minutes how many hales of cotton or bushels of corn he will make in five years on a lifty acre field by an Investment of nineteen dollars and how, much more money he will have at the close of oacl. year than lie would by his usual hoe stud plow system, lie can also cipher to his own instruction on the advantages of employing one hand where he now has six, or of doing himself easily and comfortably the work If now has to hire three or four necroes to help him toil and sweat over. Another :idv:intaic which wi'l occur forcibly '.o Ihe practical agriculturalist is the rapidity with which he can work with the harrow and other improved farm implements, enabling him 1o do much oven in short periods of (rood wiaMier during which hoes and plows could hardly make a. bey inn I ng. Jl should he remarked, before leaving Use harrow subject , iliatMr. Perry did not give any dciinitc flunrts as to its use In cotton culture, although he believes lull for the purpose also, after a test. While It, pulls up Mtrtie young plants, lie has not found that it did so enough to Injure the staniliiriateri.ilIv, and it rovers grass beautifully and makes regular distances. Kiirourasred by his success with the harrow, Mr. Perry next obtained a Standard cultivator. With this a.id two horses he oan plow ten acres of corn land, plowing will occupy a hand, plow and horse for five days, allowing two acres u day which every farmer will call good plowing. Five days of horse and man Is IIvc dollars. With the cultivator, the same work is done In one day by a hand and two horses, the cost of the Ion acres being a dollar am! a half, on cotton plowing, the proportion is about the same. There is a saving of just three dollars and a half on ten acres of corn and six of cotton plowing, and is within the reach of every farmer. This is no cues* work. Mr. Perry hus tried It,and gives his tacts ami ilgures, and nobody can get behind them. This machine costs Four neighbors (fan contribute j?ln apiece, buy one of them and each save $ '!.:>!) on every ten acres he plants, and have one-sixth of iiis present labor. This Is not all. Ata little additional cost a dropper and cotton planter can he attached to the e'dlivalor, and the complete machine will open, drop and cover Ion acres of cotton a day with beautiful regularity, or in other words with two horses and a man at a eo.-t of $!..>)it will do the work that it would require four hands ami three horses, at a cost of-:! .7). to do by ilie usual method. The machine eats nothing, and requires nothing but a little' care, while the hands and horse? required to doits work eat ail the vear around.

In thiseonnecllon, Mr. Perry said. In answer to <|Uestions, that he did not believe in plowing sons to turn up the clay to the top. lie prefers to break up the ground three to four inches deep anil then to subsoil. lie is thoroughly in love with the sulky i plow, which when not in use can be reared i up and driven over the roads like any oilier) vehicle, and proposes to make a Journey I around the country on It to show it, ami to! demonstrate the truth of what lie says by plowing for anybody at lifty cents an acre, | Inspecting the stables on the farm It was found that every bit ol manure was saved. The cattle, including the milch cows, stand sit j night on an inclined platform raised a few [ Inches (rom thi'tloor. The feed stalls arc behind what looks lllce ;i I paling fence. A paling is drawn away, the| iinimcl puts its head into the stall, and tin1! paling Is restored lo its place and locked. The ' cow or ox can lie down, and can browse a'lj night on I lie teed in the rack above the sla'l, | the openings In it being too narrow to allow i of much being taken at once. lint tne head i can not lie withdrawn until the paling is J opened again next day, and the cattle standi or lie in a row, close together hut without crowding, trampling or "hooking." The manure all falls on the platform ami tlooraud j is swept down through trapdoors to the com-1 post heap underneath, in which the straw! from the pig pen?a snug little plank h; usej convenIontly arranged for warmth and convenient feeding? Is dumped once a week." Mr. 1'erry believes in home-made manure und compost. Its good cllVcts remain in the soil longer tlir.n others according to his expei lence. "Why don't farmers use it more generally, then ?"' "i:ecriu?-e of the expense of dist:ibuttn?rlt, und because It is so hard t> distribute It evenly"? and this started Mr. Perry on another machine, to wit: a compost distributor. It makes, he says, t lie use of compost easy and I lienetlclal. It will distribute six acre* a, day, | i load to the acre, while without it two hand., | will have hard work pulting in an a-readay, j tnd then do it in spots?More figures, on com-' [iost distributing: with the machine a man | ind horse can cover six acres in a day, at a :-ost of Si; without it, two hands will cover: Ix a' res in six days at a cost of ;(!. With the! midline, compost di tributing costs IS cents in acre; without it, SI an acre. Of course there i< a gin on Mr. P Try's place mil, equally, of course, it makes interest on ts cost.

Wc publish ebewhoro, says Prof. .1. P. Stolle,1 10. aide agricultural editor of the M'ihilr(Aht.) g ei/Mcr, an article from our able coutempora-. j ;, the Soul hern < 'iit/ivn/nr, Atlaiua, (>., setting I irtli for the foiiy of atteiiinf lag to make' anulated sugar with protlt from the sordini, or Chinese suu'ar cane, as it Is often illed. The article was road by us with no J nail degree of jileaMiro, owing to the fact (J lat we had been fighting the sorgo-humbug n did the very start, till alone. We had no J, tirs ns to tlnal rsult, however, nevertheless 'j 10 fools better of rclnforeemonts, even though > : knows (as we certainly knew), that victory r his side ot the question is a settled fact, re- Sj tlrltiK only a little time for development. ? To us tlie foregoing is most decidedly pleasit reading, for it Is the first company we , ivc had on what we were fully convinced C is the correct position with reference to this pi rghum question. I'fi to this time the I ten it has been going it alone In taking tliej ounds that "sorgo" could not beinadefoi eld profitably a first-classsugar. but. all our ; >n I iioi'ii con torn porarics itave held out the a that it could, by copyiug articles on this iijoct from the Northern press, and by Inlootly urging their patrons to drop cane and plant sorghum. Rut tlic foregolng.,,<?oinlng from (ins of tlio ablest and most kifluentlnl publications In the South, causes us to feel that we are to be alone no longer. There are other humbugs of similar 111; that we have hail in bay for some time, "all alone by nr.-clf,'' ami now eomesniir far wdnj uud ' talented l'liend. Col. I'rtniel Don wit, ol the \Y"> Vi'/e-n>.i and gsls afte.* one of j tlicni :tS I illoWs: ! Kn>i:r<g>.* d ies not appear to meet with much I fav-.r among South'Tii fnrnieis, and we hope I and trust it never v. til. It is not adapted to | warm climates or colored labor, or to the habits of .Southern stork raisers. We have rend the aruuinents tor and against it in the Journals, and eunn<>l believe it will ever lie extensively favored even among Northern farmers. Only two advantages are calmed for ensilage over dry forage?one is it may tie stored away green and it: wet weal her, the'other, that entile thrive better on green food In lb" winter tiau on dry food. Wo do- not think that, mueh more hay would be spoiled by bad weather lliall Would be spoiled l?y bad silos nndiiyiiad packing of en *l Inge iuthesilos;' 'and ll will not pay In the Sou ill to cut in tin: i Held, put on the carls, haul to the silos, nnI load, run through a silos cutter, packed in the I pit, covered in tight with planks ami weights, j taken out in the winter in baskets, foil to cil. lb- like tin nips <ir potatoes, t ix tons of fodder and water to gel one ton of fodder to the eat1 tie. We have failed to discover in any of the I experiments reported thai any new virtues or nutriment are added to the forage by saving it green in silos. ! The eflinintes made in the cost of handling. j ! saving and feed I in: out ensilage to cattle have' usually tieen eNtrcinoly low: It would cost! double thC'C estimates in the South. And the i : way thai colored laborers have of nuMna up 1 and killing tinieovcrsueii |:>bs, stopping often to discuss the best way to do everything with Which they are not lainiliar.and t heir careless i manner of doiir/such work, wou'd cause gen-j 'eral failures, the ensilage would often lie spoiled, and the expense of serving mid handI ling of it would be heavy, iiesides, our warm I winter weather, which sometimes lasts for i weeks, would spoil mueh of the ensilage after J pn< are openeu lor leeatng. The fact is thiit the Southern fa*mer who j lia? plenty or good hay, plenty of on is and a ; good targe corn crib full of corn, anil a good j ; pise of iresh cotton seed, and comfortable I .sheds and barns for housing all of his animals in had went her, needs noi hint; move to carry liis Steele til rough fat and comfortable Until the spring graces furnish an ahundancc of i green food belter th.in ensilage. j We do not believe green tood Is much needi ed by slock In t.'ie winter. (Jreen food is then , out of season, except the winter grasses which | nrc always pood; but even with winter grass! es cattle, snulcs, horses and sheep crave and j reiish good hay and good fodder. Some Southern farmers who arc rich and enterprising, ! and who do not mind the expense ol ?;V)0 or i ?!,U00on silos, may tie very well satisfied with ! 'ensilage; but It is not the true winter feed for) : stock of nearly all of (he farms In.these States, i ! it costs too much, it is too much trouble' and ; it don't pay. | The next humbug lo he unmasked will be j "Silk culture for the South." in till probabilii ly. (if the ihrce named it Is the younger, we j believe, nevertheless-, as a hiitnbiiir, itlsun-i , doubtedly the noblest Hotmin of them all. | l'cople have blamed us .somewhat for not l fastening on to these "booms" constantly | rising, and floating with the popular current, i i)iii we preferred to bear the blamerathertban | violate that rule of ours which made it neees-l j savv for us lo know we were right before go* I Iny ahead. In the cases mimed we knew we j were right not to jjoahead. A little Investigating showed us Hint the sorghum "boom" was gotten up'and kept alive by certain parties who had sorgo-seed and sugar maehlneiy for sale, and that the ensilage "boom" was worked jup by a newspaper man who had I printed a book on ensilage, and also by innI ciiiuistK who wan led to sell ensilage cutting I j machinery. The silk "boom," now at Its) highest, is the woik of certain parties who I 1 wish to realize fortunes by the sale of rnulberi ry trees ami silk worm eggs. We have "been there" In the silk worm matter, and hence pretty well "know how it isourself." We were a pioneer In the btislI ness for the South. Some seven or eight I years ago Mrs. Horsey, the Mls-isslppl autliorI now deceased, sent a considerable quantity of silk-worm eggs to f'ol. I.angdon, of Mobile county, and the Colonel not having time to j experiment with them, turned tlieni over to i us. We went Into the tiling with all our I might, tally resolved on giving it a f dr test. | The scene of our operations was sit. Citronelle, Ala., apparently as favorable a locality as > (could Iijivi! hen found in any portion of thet !

Lnngdon. Well, it all resulted in complete failure. Wc ! raised some very good si 1 k in theeourseof the, I two years through which our experiment ran, , and our mollis laid millions of eggs, but our I I failure grew out of our inability to keep the! I worms healthy?they died of a kind of dysenI tery, smoking like the disease of tlml name which often destroys bees. We concluded that | ; It must be due to the peculiar dampness of our, j climate?certainly it was not due to any lack of attention i>nd careful management on our part. The experiment cost us about 3&Wcash. We might have made it back by getting up a "boom," and soiling silk-worm eggs, but we1 didn't. ) Let tiie Pt'ojilo Know What IJceomcs! of Their Money. IKdyrflrld Advertixcr.1 \ By all means let the people kr.ow clearly; land distinctly what becomes of their; ! money. This Is a piece of.-olid, and well-: j limed and well-meant advice we give our: j county officials now in the beginning of new j terms. And we arc led to do this by noticing ! lately the unlimited and unrestricted publiel, ty given to their Annual Reports by the oi!l- ] I e'lals of our neighboring counties. Of almost! jail the counties of tiie .Stat" Indeed, hut very 1 ! particularly of the counties that join lis. For ! Instance, in Ablji vil'e county for the year last | J past, the County Commissioners published an extremely long and comprehensive Kep<>rt In i ! three newspapers, the Www nnd Jiinuur, the!

Ami il was money weli spent. I : An?l exemplified the integrity of the otlicials. i I And so. In proportion, in these counties and ' , others, have been published the Annual He ports ol County Treasurers and School Coin- j mWsioners. I I The fact of the Inw requiring such Reports j to lie published Is proof that icrfect publicity | is amid at. And in such publicity there is; ! safety to oiliehds and to people.

The money to pay for making : ! such Kepoi ts public, oinesout of liio people's I | pockets, ami we believe they are willing to ' pay il. They wish to see what becomes of their money. Come to His Senses. Mr. Frank Wllkoon, the dyspeptic emls-i [ sary of the Newport:Sun. who recently found so much to ?indemn In South Carolina, has: I reached Mississippi in Ills progress through i the South. II will be remembered that Mr. J i Wilkoon in bis letleis from Charleston ? [whore the white property holders pay as! niuch for the education of negro children in i the public schools its for the instruction ofi their own?vehemently warned the people of! the North not to give aid to Southern ectuen-' tlon as the Hourlions would divert the fund : thus obtained t-.i the exclusive use of while I schools and the negro children would still be: allowed to grow up in direful ignorance. Mr. j Wilkeson wrote a good deaI on this sublect.' iitul one would have supposed him to be In-j eiiued most philanthropicaliy toward tlx;j education of llio negroes. Hilt in his last letter from Mississippi ATr. | Will:eson, wrltlngof the nowrly of the white planters, says; "Ad-led to their material | "troubles in the political one, caused by the!

"for evli be increased by education? llaiil as , , "inydei laralion may sound to Northern enrs, I "I honestly believe that increased enpaeity for "evil will be the only result < f educating these "blacks."
