An Increase ol'| ( .inking capital Is absolutely necessary.

For a town of tills size, with Its business no-essities anil do mauds. it is pas-dug strange 'hat our business na-n have not secured proper banking I'acilities. It works a great hardship at limes, and it strikes us that we are sutlcring for such an j institution. Some say lint our people are too poor to deposit mneh. and that deposits are what pay. Wo believe that the deposits would exceed expectation, and that the bank would pay. and the accommodation would be so great as to make such an institution a sue-1 cos*.

We have seen no statement as toj whether it Is to be a frolic oil tin' part of its! members, or whether It is a meeting In the! Interests of Journalism. It Is at all times] pleasant to meet the brethren of the press ! bat we think it would he ctpially as pleasant! and more profitable, if more time was taken tip in the disei'S-ioiJ ,of the experiences and the duties pertaining to the newspaper business, than is usualJy given to the ?il!-lmpor-| tant subject. fcpnri.d lines of action in I regard to political an.l other matters might he liscussed with profit without bindin..; any member to adopt any views or opinions which were not in accord with t heir own. While we have heard Utile said of journalism I lit any of the meetings, yet in private inter- j eour.-c with the brethren at these meetings we I think we have received valuable suggestions ?suggestions upon which we have acted at j any rate. Jf the memt ers of the press of the .Stale I would counsel together, w e think that they j would be greatly benefited in every way. <>w-< Ju^lo the sharp competition of (lie city pa-j pers, ttic country papers have but a limited | field from which to ?:ra\v support, and owing to tills limitation it is necessary that tiie best j practical rules or business principles should be applied to tlie publication of a country newspaper in order to make it at all pioiltublc. Let us bend our energies to the practical duties Involved in cur professions, ami let us learn from each other how to attain the! (neatest succcs?. In a multitude of council there is wisdom, and il the minutes of otirj meetings showed less ol excursions and more! of business discussions, Journalism would be-i coinrj more profitable, and wc would attain higher honors.

By the time that the iVVtur ami Charter reaches many of its readers society will have taken vengeance upon this man for his great crime, by slaving him in public at an hour appointed by man for him Iodic.

All this Is good as far as It goes. We think j the uoedy or disabled soldier should be pen-1 fcioticd.

There Is vu use ot'; t>iNIii',; tlio people to educate the children ofl those white people who arc utile to pay, and I we really see but little benefit lobe derived in taxing ourselves to educate colored people who vote against us every time an oppurtunity presents itself.

The great army of Democrats are scarcely! represented in any office of appointment, ami the people themselves l>y their represent a- i jives in convention, seem willing to Uc< p the' same men inollhe, and when a new deal is called for, they merely exchange offices for a while, until there is another demand for a , new deal, and then there is a scramble and ai move of kitchen furniture, when a new man J may g>'t in and the other officers will change! places again with each other.

For our own part, we can see no Jus>t reason for throwing any obstruction In the way of connecting these mid?.

I ean't all'ord to bo; shelved. If you can'tnlve me my old place, ulve m? something better." This spirit enters' into orticc-holders all the way down to door j keepers in the .Slate House. There is one no-1 table example In our .State, since if>76, of nj brave. Independent man, retiring of his own ! accord to psivato life, lint as a general thing! our Stale and Federal oilicers are there toj stay, if they ean't step up higher. There 1st not a tenth man amongst them, wliel her elect- ( ed by the people or Legislature, or nppointedl by tiie Governor, that would retire gracefully ; ii another snotiiu ne cnoscn in iuh piace.i They soon feel that tlic ollice, and the people ! al?", belong to them. 'lliis fcelm/ arises fioin two causes?first, a ! love for ollhc and power, while the patronage i belonjjlnc thereto Is a strong inducement furl them to perpetuate their power ; secondly, it! is a niatti r of meat and bicad, for litany ofj our otliec-holdeis have icached the conclusion ; in a most forcible ami logical way, that they ! cannot possibly get aloni; without an ollice.' Hence one hears Irom various neuspa-i per* in the .State, as well as from ipi'.et think- J lug farmers, that a new ileal in oiiicc Is neces-j sary. In otiier worils, the people wish to as-: sert their sovereignty and >how that political! rings and bosses cannot dominate in South j Carolina. They know that there is not a.State or Federal oltiee that cannot be tilled as well by others as by the Incumbents. Then in a I n'nntil l*?:in form of covcrnineiit there should I l?o no aristocracy of ofllee-holders, and as soon j as they become iinpei Ions they should be rc-i mauded to the ranks. It is fody to s?y that new men could not till the others: It Is a slander on our people to assert tiiat a new deal entirely ?uu Id bring any detriment to the .State. Then let us say to the people that they need not he alarmed if names heretofore unknown to the puUIieare brought forward in the next twelve months for the prominent offices of our Stale. This ivould not be revolution or disloyalty, it is only the divine right the peo-! pie have to manage their own attains and se-j leet their own servants. Meeting of Directors of the t*. A- I,.| Hail road. ? (Lwraisvitlv Herald.) We understand that the protest of the Laurel s Directors made at the recent meeting held at (ireenwood. Is based in substance on j the following reasons: The terms embraced i in the resolutions adopted, looking to a con-i solvation with the (JcortMn ('. ntral, propose' to give to Mr. Kaoui si70,!i<M of.stock in flic road without- any consideration. In the I opinion of the Laurens Directors stock can-j ix.t be Issued in this way without rendering j the Stockholders, as well as the Directors, personally liable to the amount of slooK so issued. In their view stock Is assets and j must represent something; hence, tha per-! sonal responsibility for stock issued in this manner. Atain, (lie Laurens Directors, object to j turning over to -Mr. Kaoui the County and City bonds, now on hand, and amounting tot about They claim that the.-e bonds' should be retired and the tax-payers to this! extent relieved; that Mr. Kaoui should com-; plete the road with the bonds to be Issued I They further object because it is using tliel people's money in a direction not thought ofj by them when they voted on the measure, j At that time the people looked forward to two through lines intersecting each other at Lauren? t'ouit Mouse, and dividing the entire ' County about riaht angles, ruder tills view | of the question the people voted the railroad j Toupply the money so voieu 10 a meai < orbrnneh road Is, in the opinion of the l.iut-1 lens I?ircclors,a misapplication of the money | and a great wrong to a large portion of the j County.

Much is alleged against Mr. Mowry, and his defence is published to-day. Xot one word has been said auainst Captain Walker except that Senator Hut ler doesn't like him.' There is no reason or excuse for sacrificing an honest and capable gentleman formch a cause as Unit. Neither will there be any sense, reason or propriety tojustify lh? appointment of Gen. John J).

( Some* seem to Ibink that the explanatory im- j ( plication is lonnd in the proposition that, the | external evidence of the Scriptures itisplra- , Hon cannot ho undo more forcible, as tin up- ' peal to the understanding. This reprcscn- | tation the candid mind must intuitively } reject. Abraham could not mean that the , proof which the brothers of 1 lives possessed that Moses and the prophets were but the orirans of the HolySjilrit, was as strong as it could be made, or that it would not be ad- i ding anything to Its weight to send them aj; messenger from til" world beyond the grave. !, Neither can we believe that the real appear- ( anrc of one from the d-?ad well accredited as , the messenger of (iod to us could not increase , the weight of the external argument in favor of the claims of Cnristianlty. , There are two propositions implied in, or suggested by Abraham's response. The first Is: the condition of the unbeliever's heart Is wlmt prevents him from perceiving the divine glory with which the Gospel itself Is effulgent. The second Is: the same disposition of heart that hinders men from seeing the evideneeof divinity in the Scriptures themselves will lead litem looppo.se and resist all external testimonies. Ourtext suggests that the unbelief of tnen is , not due to their Intellects hut to their hearts. Where a strong Inveterate love of sin has j made any doctrine, or proposition, wholly , unsuitable to the heart, no argument or de- j inonstration, 110, nor mlraelo whatever, shall | be able to bring M:e heart cordially to elo.-e with and receive It. O11 the other hand if a man's heart were right toward Hod, ho would ; perceive the divinity of the Scriptures as soon as his attention had given to tliem.

The Saviour's meaning is?'Ve take me lor a mere man, ami regard mv doctrine as only tJic product of a human mind, but if ye desired to please God. if ye had a predominating practical dlsposl- , Hon to do Ills will, yo would know my doctrine lias not its origin in human genius, but comes directly from (rod; and your failure to perceive Its divine source and authority, is dm; to tlie wrong state of your iiearls;?the evidence ot the divinity of the doctrine I touch is in that doctrine itself, and if sin had not blinded your mlmis, you would perceive at once that this doctrine is of God.' We are llien taught here that if a man's ticart were , conformed to the will of Clod. lie would per- : eel vein the Gospel itself convincing evidence ; of i's divinity, anil that the reason why men continue in unbelief where the Gospel Ispnblished is because they arc blinded to the | beauty and glory of its doctrines, by sin. This is not a lesson taught only in a single'! passage of Scripture. Our Saviour repents it frequently, lie says, John vii, -1": "lie that Is of God hearetii the words ofGod;"|| lor ill's euusc ju near mem nut eu- j ean?e yc aic not of timl unci again xvlil, ;f7: "To tills end lrtve I been horn, and to tliis end am I eonic into the world. , that I sliould bear witness unto the truth. i( Every one that Is of the truth h caret 11 , iny voice." Our doctrine is also taught In ail , the passages which connect the knowledge of divine truth Willi regeneration by tl:o Holy Ghost. For what is this but the Implantation of the principle of obedience] to Liod in tlie .sinner's heart. It Is forcibly j, I alight by Paul, where he describes those from , whom the Gt:spel is hid, as the lost, in whom , the (iod of this world hath blinded the J minds of them that believe not, lest ( the light of the clorious Gospel should shine , Into them. The Gospel, tno Apostle implies, is glorious and giveslorih the light of a message fro in the blessed God, tint unbelievers < arc blinded through the influence of Satan, , and therefore know not this divinclight. This doctrine Is in pcrfcct keeping with all j analogy. Knowledge in whatever depart- i nient, or ol whatever nature, requires two tuc'.ors in order to Its production?an object < to be known and a subject qualified to cognize , or apprehend its properties. In order that i there may be knowledge of the most primary , kind, It Is necessary that theic be not only L the phenomena of nature or snbslanco, but h also a subject, with the organs of Piste, touch,! ] sight, smell, hearing. In order to the knowl- , edge of beauty there must be a subject having : the faculty of taste. Xot all the beauty 111 ( the worideould produce tne knowledge ol the | beautiful, unless there was taste to which it . appealed. So the knowledge of mntheniati- ] cal truth rei)Uires the exercise of intellect. In , order to have any existence, and In like manner that of moral truth the application ol , conscience. Is it not then in harmony with t what is true of till these lower kinds of|"j knowledge, that In order to see the divine < beauty of Christian doctiino, we must have a certain power of perception, corresponding h to It. ami that If we lack this power, however | emu^t'iu lucoi'iit'iiim umj uc ??im mr K'"~ | r.vofGod, wc can no more sec It, tlmn I Sic blind can seethe stin in its meridian splendor, or tlie hear, utterly void of poetic taste, can see the beauty of the loveliest landscape,; ami on the other hand, that the object and the organ adapted to it being brought into contact they will in every case operate to the production of thcspccHlc knowledge r.sour doctrine asserts they do, when the object is the Gosocl of the grace of God ? \Ve claliu no more for the argument from analogy Just Indicated than that it proves the reasonableness ol the explanation of the unbelief which the Scriptures themselves give. There is nothing umc;i*onable in the doctrine, whether it he true or false, that the blinding power of sin being removed, and the orean of spiritual perception thus restored to its uoimai condition, a man may have the power to see in u communication froMi God, directly in itself, evidence enough to beget Infallible iis.sumnee of its divinity, . and may intuitively and spontaneously feel j the force ol its own infallible authority, as . the cultivated car can not but appreciate the ; cluum of harmony. The unbeliever then i must admit that the reason he does not, seei| sutlicient evidence in the Scriptures them-1 selves of their divinity may 1m that his sinj or the power of the God of this world operating on him through his sin has blinded his mind. That what is thus shown to be reasonable is also true, the positive testimony ol all credible Christians oujjht to convince him. The reason why you do not see a thing, may be either that it is not there, o* that you have not the necessary power of vision. Hut if many others declare that they do see it and their sincerity cannot be doubted, then I it is clear, the reason you do not see it is your j lack or detect of seeing power. Jt should be remembered too, that, the force of good positive testimony In such a case cannot be de-1. stro.vcd by uu.v amount of negative testimo-i ny however honest. For nothing tint false-j hood or the reality of tlie impression testified to, eati l?e theeause of the former, but defect! or want of sight might explain the latter. If the question at issue in a court of justice were whether a pistol report were hearil In a certain place at a certain hour, tlu; testimony of two men, of undoubted veracity that they heard such a noise at that time and place, would outweigh that of twenty men although of equal honor, who should swear, that being at the same place at the same time, they heard 110 such noise. Nothing except proof that the first two men were unworthy of belief, would keep a good Jury from believing that there was an impression made on their minds by the report-of a pistol. Then if the unbeliever do not charge ttic whole church of uou Willi uiifcuoou, lit.- iiium HCKiiunicugc , that the Scriptures have in themselves evl- , dence of tlieir divinity sulllcieiit to produce conviction in till who are not blinded to the quality of divine beauty. The question may be asked whether this disqualifying condition of heart is sinful or not. The Scriptures assert that It is; the Saviour resolves it into the absence of conformity to the divine will, ami the experience oi millions of Christians accords with this analysis Such a state of heart is utter unholincss, and in an active being utter rebellion within the soul, and the prolific womb oi external acts of disobedience only. 'Jin- minister therefore, who has preached the (iospcl faith fully, is not unreasonable w hen lie immediately demands Hint his hearer rcc 1 ve the message as (Sod's word; I localise li<-knows that the message has, in the doctrines it contains, and the system it teaches inherent evidence of divinity sulllcient to produce infallible assurance, and because he knows that the failure oi men to perceive this evidence is due to the sinfulness of their own hearts?that men are responsible for not believing the < Jos pel Itself, because their i unbelief is the product of depraved ntl'ec-!

I less tremendously operative. Such is the 11 active natico of the hutiian soul, nmlj> such Its relation t<> the creator that, t tin; absence of holy principle Inn.lies their presence of the corresponding sinful prin- t eiple. We Heel not wonder then to ilnd it taught by our text that the sanio disposition of heart which keeps men from lecling the force of the words, "they have Moses J , and the prophets; lot them hear them," if! would cause them also to continue impeni- : tent, although the most stupendous mirn-|? cle were wiought before them In proof of the | divine authority ot the Scriptures. This isj ourscci>nd proposition.and we now propose) to give more precisely the reason why the' same condition of heart, that hinders men !' from seeing the evidence oi divinity in the 1 doctrines <>f Christianity themselves, also,;S leads them lo oppose and resist all external |r testimonies. |1 The explanation here Is found In the nature ; f oi the will, using tlie word In Us broad sense, i1 and in its power over the understanding and | icason. The will has a kind of reasoning :( power of Its own, it is a sort of second reason t within us, it looks forward and makes choice, i 1 deciding for itself what will give it pain or:<: pleasure, what is to be loved and what, to he ! a hated, how the one Is to be caiiicd and en- r Joyed, how the other Is to tie shunned or [ r despised or tormented. There is a kind of reasoning powerin every principle of our!, practical nature; malice reasons how to! J nhni'Kti unit eratlfv itself ami even wild < wrath reasons how to accomplish its j.ur- E p:isp. This kind of reasoning though it be J below tin? i lane of consciousness, and', the frame of mind to wiileh it, belongs is,/ therefore only spoken of as feci ins, has; mighty pmver over nil the pilnelplcs or our . nalu:c; Its analogue is the undercurrent r of the <l>*ep river, while what according to:1 our didionnries Is reason may often be but 1 as H e surface or the stream driven backward c In ripples by an opposing wind. Nothing Is J' juoie certain? and noihiu? should more eon-,1 eern i s?than that the will has power to shape, to cheik, to control conviction.

The more the force of external ovldcnco,v irces tlie demand for attention to divinejl ruth, the more the man under the power of;*' tin, would rebel against the holy null there- ' fore uncongenial doctrine, one reason why! here is so little violent opposition to the j* Hospel in these d iys is, that the form in,'1 ivhleh It;# external cvhlcnee of divinity,'11 omes to our generation Is less compulsory " ind overwhelmlni{, at. least to the mass of r men, than it was In the days ot the Saviour;8 md His Apostle*. Now it leaves room fori1 iouhtaud permits Infidels to light- by sophistry, hut then the opposers of the truth had to Jc live themselves up to passion and hatred!' without even pretending to reason, and to'* light only by violence. We read of the per- j" secutors of .Stephen: "And they were not'1] ible to resist the wisdom and the spirit by [J which he spoke. Then they subborned men: J which satd, we have heard him speak bias- ' pheniotis words against Moses ami against ' i Jod." Had not Stephen utterly silenced them 1 In discussion, they would not Iiave had re- s course to laise witnesses nnu u? mur- lerous stunts nud other devices of ' Ivvlllsti ruge. I5ut do not observation 1 nud expcrifiioe abundantly, prove, that 1 the nmn whoso lieail Is fully opposed to n certain policy, and whose pride and self- 1 love strongly prompt him to advocate the op- J posite, becomes angry when he can no longer 1 present any reply to the overwhelming argu- ' inents by which Ills own earnest recoinenda- ' tton Is nnllilled? As long as he can throw I doubt upon the opponents' position lie is ' more or less content, but when driven from | J every rampart of reason, he will if he can or |' if ho does not think It too Impolitic, charge jc upon Ills adversary with wrath and ptiysl-.l cal violence. Hence It were easy lo cite casus j In which prudence forbade to present all the j' evidence that might be forthcoming, or to say jr nil that might be urged in favor of a good j' cause. Many such cases may be found In the ,J history of tlio relation of the South to the!} general (ioveriuncut during the last twenty j' years. The result of presenting the whole 1 tvidence may sometimes be, because of the f workings of passion, only to increase opposl- 1 tlon and make It more desperate against the ? right and the true. The operation of this < principle then is a sufficient reason why Ood 1 gives to our depraved race no more direct and overwhelming proofs or the supreme an- 1 thorlty of Scripture, than those we possess. 11 Wisdom dictated that He should withhold j< such evliiencoas wouiu iciivc nu nn?u pavil and sophistry, In order to prevent worse consequences. Thus we see that the same frame of heart, the opposite of willing to do the will of (iod, that hinder.iu man from seeing the divinity of IJIhlcdoctrinedirectly, wouui hinder that man's being persuaded, even If lie received by one whom lie had seen laid In tlie grave, a message from (Sod. As long as the will has power to give the attention to or withhold iti from the evidence on one side and to direct the attention to considerations true or false In favor of the other side, the will has power to control belief. lint its power does not stop here. As long ns It can boil up Into fury against what Is hateful to It, what condemns I;, destroys its pleasures, and demand its life, or, what Is the same thing, the surrender of all its Idols, and | Its own perfect subordination to God's will;? so long whenever It can put no doubts of rca- ! son between itself and the hated thing that Is ! about to turn conviction and conscience over! on its side, the depraved will thus driven to j the whII Is sure to rage and lash itself into! fury and seek to annihilate Its enemy by force; and so long tin- man's heart will deter- j mine what he will believe or not believe notwithstandlngwhatever evidence he may have J iccess to. The carnal heart, being enmity to j (iod, and being Its own (iod. would therefore,; not be persuaded, though one rose from the: dead, but rather would be excited to enmity ' nu d rage. 1 Tills exposition is siiiteu 10 put uiu sinner in tlio way of learning l>is need of the Holy ' Ghost. lie most acknowledge, that he ou;:ht | to will to please God.

But when I see that the spirit of obedience is ho iwv niwiii or faith. I can see how Divine Holiness tan pronouncc tlie believer eniltiess I \ lul exempted from nil condemnation. If the faith required could bo exercised by one sunk in Iniquity ami wallowing In rebellion, I could not see now the fiod of purity could regard that faith as a suitable condition of testification. lint savin? faith has its root in t,he spirit of obedience and evinces a predominant principle of love to God lu the heart.

We are not justified on account of mr obedience but on account of the obelienee of Jesus, yet there is an Indissoluble Dond between our obedience and Justification, is tlierc Is also between our obedience and holy comfort Let us signalize one other Inference?Ihe security of the believer's lailh. Can you persuade the enraptured lover of the line arts, as tie stand before a tnasterpelce of painting that there Is no beauty there? Or as be listens to the richest strains of harmony, that there is no delight In those sounds? Oras he enjoys the orator who is emulating Cicero or Demosthenes, that there is no sublimity in Eloquence. Can you convince the plough boy niifd liv the llutit of the morning to labor,! iixl dismissed by the shades of night from 1 ti is toll,that there is no light In the sun ? Can you demonstrate to the child thai there In no r sweetness hi sugar? Can all the science in [ the world prove to the moral man that there 1 Is no obliging foreo in the Decalogue? No ' more can yon destroy by all the power of 1 reason and science ttic regenerate man's ' conviction of the divinity of the Gospel, his knowledge of It is llkif the knowledge pained s through sense?direct and Intuitive. When i lite new nature in hiin Is growing and active, 1 lie can no more deny Its perception of tlio ' ilory of the Gospel, than lie can deny the tes- s llmony of his bodily senses, or the truth of 1 the primary beliefs which lie at tlie basis of i nil his knowledge. The objective grounds of 11 certainty In the doctrines of Christianity are I the very same as those of any other truths, 1 these doctrines ore concerned with realities v i?f thought?they reveal real relationships and 1 ire concerned with real existences. The HI- * i>le is but at> atmosphere through which God ' und the persons and things of tho spiritual 11 world are presented, Hence one knowledge jf these doctrilies Is founded on Intuition and r consciousness |ust as our knowledge of this c material world Is founded on certain primary v truths which tlefy analysis and all proof ex- 1 jept that of Intuition. The believers subjee- [ live certainty Is the result of the Illumination v :?f the Holy spirit.

As long j |s s a hoHW hoc in the South compete with a two hoise | nr :itltivat?i' In the Ninth, tlie greater prosperity will be I >,[ n tho Intti-r section. tnl The aciicuUurul papers of the South should pftyjth nore attention to this than what they do, ami should D1 ievote more space to showing the advantages of la-i K,., nir-savlng machinery. First, tin re is the time gained f?, mil the lalHir saved. If a mini can plow four acres er d iv with a sitiky plow, white a man with an eight- ^ neh plow can plow only one acre. It Ij plain that in .he plowing of four acres the labor of three men Is laved. Tlit! labor saved by Improved machines for feeding, cultivating and harvesting crops Is yet great- , r. It Is this saving of labor that mitkis all the profit j if Northern fanning; take It away, and the farmer ''n iVotild bo reduced to bankruptcy. . Hut there Is a far greater benefit derived from tho w| ;se ot improved implements and machines?the bet- .. .er quality of the work done. Tho walking plows jsed in the North do ntnclt betUr work than those . ' lied in the south; yet the most progressive ot tho , Northern farmers are diacanlin? walking plows for , ulky plows, because the latter do better Work. The 0j iatne is true of the Improved narrow.*, pulverizers, oiler*. seeders find planters, cultl vnt'irs unci harvest- .1 'rs?they all admit of better work hi intr done than sin be done wltliont them,ond for this reason would l }? tiseil. idllioturli their use would not save labor. Thus labor-savins machinery Injures u better agriculture? the sccd-bed belter prepared, the Seed better I / dant-'d, the plant better cultivated, anil the crop bet-1 rr harvested. I have frequently heard Northern | nen nay they did not wonder that our land was im-1 ' overtoiled when they saw the way it was cultivated,!J1, irith implements with which it was impossible to do | ' list-class work. . Let the Southern planter be go fully convinced of! f" da need ol better Implements that ho will demand I J* .hem, and labor-saving machinery specially adapted to J Southern crops will be foithc.mlng. Our American . nventlve genius will bo equal to the emergency, and .lie supply will bo given whi-n the demand Is made. I'lle South Is doing some good inventing now, and can j .. ilready bonst of some creditable machines. But n?k; :he manufacturer* of improved machinery about his! j'? rade, and he will tell you tint he finds trade slow ami! tales hard to make in the South. Our Southern}" armers do not appreciate the gain tliey might lnik", | !.1 ind then there is the negro in the way. I bi-lirvc that the nezro can b? made a better laborer I _ than what he is. Hi' has already got nvor Ills mlgrat- *" >ry disposition exhibited immediately after the iviir, Hid iii now n much more reliuMe farm laborer. He is ret ignorant mid cureless: but ho enn bo educated. He Is not such a fool that he cannot learn; ntid I ain en r.cliucd to think that imt only the linlustiial prosperi;y, but the Social and political safety of the south do- Vil end upon itu Incrensi d Intelligence among ?h.- blacks If the iHiuth secures education for her Ignorant pro f(> ile, silo " ill have buildcd better than she knew, j ^ Mike the negro a little morn intelligent, #<> that lie can j c) itanage some simple machine, and by putting him In ; ?

Again, Southern planters can rest assured that the I cj| utroductiun ?f labor-saving machinery will be follow- j an d by a better class of laborers. It will so elevate j,', ,he standard of agriculture that Intelligent farm labor- to re can bo bad.

Materially Improve the land. wl There were hare sp?ts on the farm that would crow w| lot III iiz, not even weeds, unaided. The soil here was qu ittle up re than a pnlveiized condition of the Marcel- rn us slate, poor In fertilizing material. Plaster alone tn hi these spots would grow nothing. Aidul by ma- tri iure there would be some growth, and by repeating mi ho operation a fair yield. We were led to this practice by plastering pea* own on the usual cropping land. In which case the :rowth was so gn ?t that tho object of the crop?fir he grain?was defeated; it all went to haulm, run- be 17 . ?., ti, ling along nai nn uir Krouiio, uic vines some ore ur ? iix feet In length, partly r.titcil and mildewed, contin- J"1 ling to put out abortive blossoms.

This led us to put >eus on the poorest cultivated land with nearly slmi- "e ar resill'. fcven with less piaster on such land, there er, vnuld not be a sat^nfuctory yield; a peculiarity was ''e ineven rljiening. At least it became the settled con- el? 'Ictlon that piaster under any circumstances was ?li lurtiul so far as the grain or seed was concerned, and ,ni ,nd it was no more used for this purpose. Where land Is cropped for a long time with little or "j 10 mnniiro, and Is deprived of its humus until the " r?p grown becomes a loss, a single crop of peas crown ri< rltn plaster mid turned down, and when rotted, well tbi nixed with the earth hf cultivator, will often tin- I"> irove It sulllciently to grow profitably a crop of grain, 'hi iliilo the soil iiieclianieally has been materially bene- str Itted, and Is In good condition to seed down.

Wo remember very well Shi hen It was the utmost univers <1 practice to put three coi irrows to each three-foot cotton row at each plow- got ir; and not uiifreijuently four, and even live fur- till iws, became necessary.
