Tt Koom* to u* that the nrlrrson Tvtcl? tmirOi liccaiivp DL,*,iLr, _ home of the brethren of the press have felt inclined to say unkind things of Mr. Murray's action a*a legislator. Men who Succeed in life, or rise above the common level, seldom escape calnmnv, and we see no reason why Mr. Mtirruy should expect to he an exception to the general rule. Mr. Murray hits always had opinions and has not heenslow to ex press them, and he lias not hesitated to act in accord with his convictions. This course has iriven pretext to his enemios, and has furnished <-aiise for thoso who may be jealous to assail him, and to charge bad motives in his conduct in reference to the Railroad Commission law. Mr. Murray being conscious of tho reeti'.iido of his own arts needs no defence, jind ho should merely treHt his assailants with silence. We presume that thoso who assail Mr. Murray would not have the effrontery toelaim to be better or more honest than he is. Kven if thev did mako * wuch ehiim, we aro of opinion that they would find it exceedingly difficult to get Sl'An intelligent public to agree with them 1n that opinio!). Mr. Murray's acts as a legislator are matters proper to bo criticised but we fail to nee any necessity or.justice in asmailing his character. But as Mr. Murray has laerd no worse than others \vli-> liave been needlessly assailed we do not Ihink he need care much for what is now "being said about him. Wo have oflen regretted that the press 'of South Carolina could not he a unit in Joining contfoversies or criticisms without assailing character, or clfarging had motives to those who disagree with them. - ^ We are sorry that any member of the ?><?p.th Carolina press should depend larceny upon personalities and a misrepresentation of any adversary's position. Mr. Mnrrv is at least as pood as those fi&X who assail him. and wo trust that he may henceforth treat with silence such as make charges, instead of just criticisms. jPl' Death of Mr*. Cabell.

J.. t-L ." . . 1 | The United States Senate ami Monnonism. j The United States Senate at the present I time is engaged in an exceedingly small business. It is proposed to make an tin; constitutional war on polygamy in Utah, ! while, except In South Carolina, divorces 1 arc granted in every State in the Union, i As between the evils of polygamy and ! divorce there can be no doubt as to the greater. An honestp dygamist must take care of all his wives, while the married libertine turns out of doors all preceding ' wives in order that he may live oprli::ns or.lv a short while with his J last victim. In States grunting divorce, tlie husband is sehlun bound to support more than the lust wife, while the polj'gamist takes them all under his own roof, and gives them all the honor and protection whieh he promised. Then, we say, for the development of the meanJest puritanical roiigious hvpoeriey, and the most unscrupulous pditical fraud and trickery, commend us to the I discussion of polygamy in cither I ho pu!! pit or in tho United States Senate. The ; baseness of ih heart wh e!i ean rt eognisc holiness in easy divorce, while de ivmncing polygamy is only equalled by in unlimited arrogance, and an unqualified presumption upon our stupidity. Polygamy is honorable and praiseworthy wlipii como.ired to divorce. Then lei nl j Congressmen ami Senator*, stop the greater evil at lln-ir own doors before goin^ abroad to correct tho morals or the ; manners of their idoghbors. j An honest Mormon who supports and 1 takes care of his wives, is a saint, when ! compared to the divorced libertin \ who has thrown his wife on the streets. i j The /Vt r Prrx/t feels happy in being able to make its accustomed vi*ts tIlls ' n-nnt tnTriiiintnand natrons ill an entire j new suit.?<Sen<:m Free Press. i And a handsome suit it is.

"Our Women in the War.4' The Sews and Courier, Charleston, S. C., desires lo obtain flity or more sketches of the experiences, grave or gay. II ve'y or severe, of . the Southern women during the war. Little has been published hitherto concerning their sufferings,anxieties and privations, und the ; Seux and Courier wishes to make the record of the war complete, by giving the Amerlcon niitilma lust Idea of what the Southern wo 1 men endured during the struggle f?r tlie Lost Cause. There was com* dy as well as tragedy In their dully life, and the object Is to obtain descriptionk of every side and phase of a Southern woman's trials and triumphs, at home or as a refugee, during the Conlcdcrate struggle. The sketches in question *vlll be published In the Weekly Xew*, Charleston, S ; iunder the general title of "Our Women In the War." The conditions are as follow : ! 1. The sketel.es must be written by Sonth' em women who were In the South during the i war, aud shall tie eon fined to a description of events and circumstances of which the 'writers have personal knowledge, and with ; which they or their families were connected, j 2. Each sketch shall fill not less than fifteen ' nor more than thirty pages ot foolscap, written on one side. j 3. The sketches shall be sent, with the real : name of the writer, to the AVum and f burier. ' CI arlbston, S. C., not later tiiun March 1st, 18SI. I 4. Every sketch that Is accepted will be ! promptly paid tor, and any Southern woman i: who desires lo ilo so can send in two or more sketches. The object In view is certainly an excellent one, and Ills hoped that Southern women everywhere will do their part In making the i undertaking successful, "ill order," as the .Vcic.t <iir( (nvrier says, "that tardy Justice i '"may be rendere 1 to the women encouraged 1IIU UJ men luiinuuu ? *? | "and solaced them with words of cheer, and l 'who. throuuh all manner of hardship, of an|' "tulsh of misery, were faithful and true to j; "the very end?and after !"'

Cutting!: should be about cl.'ht " to ten Inches In length and taken from the > young wood of ihe present year's growth. Cut Just below a bud At this point the wood 5 Is more compact, and it Ik then callus is form3 rd. and from which the young rootlets pule forth; when the cuttings have Ihe leaves, as I the rose and euonymus and oilier evergreens, , strip them ofT so the earth may eome In close ; contact with the stem. It is best always to I plant cuttlnss in a nursery bed, where they _ j occupy only a small space, and can be more " easily watered in dry weather. Have the ' ground we ll man urn] and spaded deeply. I The riiws lor cuttin should be eighteen ' j inches to two feet apart. These rows can he i opened with a spade by striking it down and I giving it Just enough lateral motion to open ' i tt-e spuce clear to iiii-ert the cuttings. These 5 should be about four to six inches apart, pressed down so fiat tlie upper bud is just i above mound. When the cuttings are insert, i '-d, then with the hand, j--ress Ihe earth down' | w.irds and against the cuttings so as to leave : n*? cavities. Cuttings are often carelessly .: plan'ed with too much length above ground. There is no need f.ir more than one bml, and , in greater length only exposes unneces-nry j wood to drying winds anil the sun. and thus " | taxes the plant to supply this dclicieney l>ci fore it has roo'? and is able to do so. A single i tmd receives all the nourishment and grows |..tr vigorously, whilst If many buds start , : they only maken fechle growth. J Many of the coniferous evergreens strike j readily from cuttings, such as the arbor| viUtes, cellars,Junipers, <tc. Cuttings of these may he only u few Inches in length. | If the weather Is dry In Sprint: and early , I summer, they should he watered until the j root-are well formed.

Kverglades, iiave com plot ed their \vork arn repoiti-d. The report which is written b; Major A. 1'. Williams, who had charge <j the expedition, fills ten columiisof the Time j Democrat, and is quite lnterrestlnir. On th ! 17th of October they went by steamer fron I Cedar Keys to Punta Itosa, where they tool | their f'anoes and proceeded no the Caloo Militchlc Ilivcr to I alee Okeechobee, a dis tance of about ninety miles, arriving on 111 1st of November. Along the western am ; southern shores of the lake they discovered ' eight large streams flowing Into the swam] ' that borders on the Kverglale*. They follow ed one of these streams up to its head, j distance of three miles, and on the tenth <i ] November began cutting their way throiigl j Hit* IIIIII HIT- ki.i-i., ...II. .. K.V...O ...... I ten to twelve let-t hlsh. The labor of cuttim I thronch lite swump was so great that tlie purl; conld move only a quarter of a mil" a day I they encountered myriads of alligators ." nukes, leeches and poisonous bu.'s, am lound the leeches exceedingly troublesome, a as they adhered with great tennaclty to I h i legs of the men. Kmerging from tli< | swamp they entered the saw grass, wlilcl ! they burred In ad vanes of them, that belni the only way they conld make any progress | This grass grew In a few Inches of water am | mud, apparently without bottom, and boat: were pushed over the stubbles after the. gras; ! was tired. Traveling duo north about tei ! miles, they struck a great number of smal I lakes tilled with the finest kind offish. Tin I lakes were about twenty feel deep. Abou ; thirty miles fu'theron they struck an Island ttie first dry land touched after leaving till lake. The only tree* found on It were the cus laid, apple and wild tltr. After this they go nlong with less uuucuity. joey passei ; tbroush thousands of small Islands, some o which wore covered with large tree* and lu.v urlanl foliage. On the night of December 1st they reached Cahbape Inland. In the south em glHdcB they found an abundance of deer fowl tied fisli. They saw no Indians, ttut/Ve quently saw the smoke from their ciimp tlrei In the distance. Near the head of Shark'i ltlver, in the extreme southerl: glade*, thej encountered vast number* or llmcstom boulders cropping above the surface of the I water, which Interfered much with the pro j gress of the boats, and over which they htw ;to tie carried. They reached tlie head o i Shark's ltlver Dceember.5, and sailed down I I to White Water Hay, on the gulf roast, aboui thirty miles from Cape Sable. The distance J traveled from Lake Okechober to the gulf wai 1110 miles, and the whole distance traveled nearly 3<Xl miles. There is no current In tlx waters of the Kverjtlades, but a.i almost 1m : perceptible How sonthward. The result ai | summed up is that the glades are useless foi any agricultural purpose, tlmt they contain I 110 larse bodies of land, that they cannot b< ! success fully drained, and that they are foi { all practical purposes utterly useless.
