If he under-tood j the law, and deliberately drew that jury in accord with his construction of the law, he Is 1 not to tie blamed for his intentions, though! his Idea ?f the proper discharge of his duty may In- somewhat dillVrcnt from that of a number oi our people.

Polecatos have been appointed fr.im tlie various towns alonij ttie proposed railroail from Due West to Aiken, to meet with cttir.ous of Charleston in reference to tlie enterprise. This meeting is to lake place on the ;id and Mil of March next. We think wearesafein saying Hint all of lie dohvates who may jro to Charleston will meet with a hospitable reception In the grand >ld oily, and tlioy may lie lurnished a rare .'oilatii'it by i*s representative men, or "shown iround tlie harbor," but as tor their atlect* usrnny railroul alliance, that need not so iously enter into tlie calculation. Charles;on hns no Idea ol building a road anywhere, mil the tlte people of Abbeville are not able ;.i buitd n roail further limn to Vcrdery. Tli"* idea Ilia* Anderson may trade the Sarannaii Va'l.-y Kailroad to Charleston and he S-,utli Carolina Ha it road does not scare lie Jvtsiaiiil lUnuicv. We only hope, so far <s t he u'o'.d of Abbeville l-s concerned, that! he may do so. lty trading oil the Savannah Galley to the South Carolina Kailroad the rity of Anderson would lie forever denied the 'ompetition which tiie powerful Georgia sysemeaunnd would furnish, and in lhs:t event, f wo trade with the (Georgia Cent nil, we vonld have t!i-i advantage of a neighboring city, which lias, in time past, been the ccipient of railroad favors which injured >?r market. I.et Anderson go ,0 Charleston, f ii)i> wants to. Our p"op'c will not be blind non^li "to go further and do worse" than by rading with the Georgia Central. Thebuiiding of a road to Veidery, miles, r to l!u Savannah Valley, if it conieet* with the Georgia sjsrcin, need not effect ho great Carolina, Cumberland (Jap and < 'lilago road. I! is another project altogether. Mie that Kngiish capitalists are cxpcctcd to aekle. It is loo big a job for lis. As we understand, the greater part of the oad 1 been graded from Aiken to Edge- j ield. If we are correct in that opinion, then j ct Charleston and the South Carolina ltnlload put the iron on the track, without any ie!p .'ion us. \Viii!e Abbeville will anxlonsly lend any >roper encouragement to the building of any itw road in this direction, we feel warrant1 in saying that she will not and ar.not vote twenty-live thousand dollars to he building of the Carolina, Cumberland lap and Chicago road fr_>ni Aiken to Due ,Vcot.

Wo now turn our ii!!ciitlu'i to other in- I onirics, and especially to the correspondence ' above. "One of the lending farmers"' is wry much , I mistaken. Theic arc three principal vane-' ticscul'ivaled in tiie rice-growing St lies of ' tliis country. First, the white rice, valued!' for its cariiuess and.for its rra.ly growth 011 ] upland-;. Of this variety is the long-anne or, hearded rice. The hmk of this variety is ot" a light creamy color. The white or upland rice J lias been long ctdtiva'ed successfully by the I poorer classes of white people i'i the upper I portions of the coist counties, An ounce of 1 this variety contains !> i > grains. j' Thesccond well known variitv is the gold-!t sect! or golden rice. It is so cdied fionithej' rieli yeliow golden color of the hu^ks. This is the swamp or river rice; K ha* a large, tine, 1 white grain ; an ounce contains Ml; grains. ) I Third, the long-grain? a snb-vm i< iy obtain-j I eil by selection ? which contains *10 grains to i tho oiiiiccand lias sold at very high prices for]1 seed rice. ! I The gold-seed cn"'ivntc<l 1 it this St I r\ t e is said to have been brought to this country from the,' island of Madagascar by a vessel that put in- i to Charleston harbor in distress. A small bag ' of this rice was given by the captain of this < vessel to a resident of the city, who planted, I some of it I n his garden. It proved a vatna- i I tiie grain, and went immediately into general I cultivation; so that as early as l"il I lie col >-| ny, besides supplying an abundance ol'rice for its own use, export c(l HH.tJsibarreU. (treat! improvements were made in the grain by a! careful selection of seed. Water culture was | not Introduced until IT.st, o: some thirty years i aft hi* t he period when over half a million bushels were annually exported. Tills would ! go far to establish Hie fact that the notion |i that the gold or swamp rice cannot lie calti- i vatcd successfully without water is a fd.-e I one. As before mentioned, at the suggestion j of a river rliw planner, who sent, us the seed, we planted on a sea Island plantation this! gold-seed rice between the rows of corn, in a perfectly drained high and dry Held, and the rice, thmi'ih planted as late as the middle of; June, made an admirable yield. As this is u!< more valuable variety it W worth the cxperi-! i men I to try it on heavy or swampy corn | lauds in the upper parts of Hie State, and es-l peciaii.v ni corn nems sniyuci, ki (>vt:i now . 1 Few people Ki'otn to know that rlcc is the greatest food crop of the world. It was culti-' vatod in China '.J.8'2'2 yours before t!tu year of!' our I.or-1, It grows sponiailv';?u>ly In various! parts or India, l>nt on lolly on III-; banks ofi rivers. On the borders; of curtain lakes in In-p dia is found a wild variety, preferred to ail j others by the rich Hindoos, In (.V;.loa 101 varieties are enumerated. Ordinarily, rice Is supposed to require irrigation for its successful cultivation, but it N well known that the plant's freely cultivated in mountainous parts in India, in Northern 'hina;.md in Japan an upland variety (or species?) is in common cultivation, which is only three feet In height and Is grown likeor-i diriitry grain, llice is in some parts of India'; the chief article of produce, and in some dis.ji triets, particulaily mushy lands alont? the!' coast of Orissa, it is almost the only object of,; agricultural labor. We see whata wide mnrgin of climate, pitch j of land and cultivation exists in the proJuc-, tioti of this great workl-wido food plant. In view of these broad tacts, for which we 1 are largely Indebted to Apple-ton's Cyclopedia, it might not be amiss for the Federal De-! ; parttnent,'of Agriculture to make a uide-H spread collection of the seed of theso foreign grown varieties, especially of Mint grown as ordinary grain. Nor would it be amiss for some of our farmers to try an acre or Ic.js in the upland or hoarded rice, cultivated like oals. The rice plant is, after ail, a >pccics of oat. . But we would again insist on thorough,, preparation and the highest degree of fertii station in making t tils ex perl men land In ear- ! ly sowing, say Hie last of I-'ebruary. I-'nrmei s i desiring to eet the upland seed should be able j to get it freely in Orangeburg, J.arnwell or i Aiken. The State Agricultuial Department might also be resortc d to.

There are two reasons for this. \11y crop will exhaust land where the culture i sciean and everything is taken from the 1 and.

Then it is better for land losow ryel i ban oats. When the whole of the crop is I aken from the land, except the roots, it is: t .'cry exhaustive, hence you will hear farmers' v ny that turnips and sugar cano ruin tlie land. | That is because these crops are always la limited very thick, and they make'a very c strong demand on ail available plant food, i tad then everything is taken from the field, s Tobacco will exhaiiM land very rapidly lor s he same reason, and also because tobaceo has v i large per cent, ol ilie ash eb'iiient. lu the; a i!d days the wearing out of lands by running ; g n cotton was proverbial.
