We would ask at I en I ion to the artlclewhich \ve have iniiit il from I ho Krotrec Oiurirr of last viwk, That art tele is a full unci exact answer to our ai tide of the previous week, anil clearly refutes any charge of lawlessness in ?>o?iiee county. The showing isall that any one couiii desire, anil we know that our respected con tent |*>mry will thank us forpivinjr him an opportunity to set Ills conluy 1..1.I t!,r. rim.M Wa iiomnl mii.I> nn,l ni-. vry sttttementof fact in Implicit faith in tlicir exact correctness, and the recital of the facts I herein mentioned, convince us l*?jond the shadow of a doubt that (he administration ot tlie law In Oconcchnx been Just and that her citizens have been remarkably pcaec&blc nnd l.iw-ahldinjr. *>Ve congratulate the people of Oconee not Only on tlie law and order which prevails within her borders,hut also on having sonhle and so courteous a newspaper as the JCeowrc Omritf to present to the public her real condition in such a manner as to carry conviction to every mind. The ICectvce Courier's article is an honor to South Carolina Journalism, tiiul we note the feet with much pleasure that vp have in our ranks at least one able editor Vim < *? answer a contemporary without the ^exhibition ff temper. In our statement of tlie homicides that had Imcii committed within our borders In less than nine years, we should have staled that we ascertained the number by reference to our files, and not l-y examination of the mln"tites of the Court of Sessions. We presume that there is no minute on the books of the Court of a number of homicides that haveoccurrcd. For Instance: It is not likely that riny mention is there made of the man Who Was taken from our jail on the first of January and lynched. Other cases where the slayers rled Uie suite, may not be there. Hut we have the names and dates, as siatetk and It is barely possible that the number would he increased if reference was also bad to the books of the Court. In conclusion, we thank the Kcowce Courier for its article. It Is nil that could bedeslrcd. We are convinced "that so far nsOconeo is "concerned; the people are at peace among "themselves and with all the world, and that " there the majesty of the law is respected." Our ItailroicN. The new railroad from Greenwood to Spartanburg Is about completed. It is thought the trains will commence to run on fast schedule next Sunday morning. The new schedule Will make thirty miles an hour from Spartan \>urg to Augustn. This magnificent new road is the work of the Georgia Central Railroad, which has already done much for the development of. our part of the State, nnd which intends to ilo much more. The brunch from ,\ Laurens to Ureonvillo is to he completed and run by this road, which has already given a contract for the laying of the iron?commencing at Laurens Court House. ^ ' As soon as tho work on the Spartanburg road Is finished it is presumed that the whole force of hands will he transferred to the Sn? vannab Valley road, when the work ou that vo:id will be hurried to completion from McCorinick to Anderson city. The grading of this road will probably bo finished by the first or next month. We are glad to believe that the Columbia and Ureeuvillo 1 tail road will abandon any 5dca of trying to embarrass the Augusta and Knoxvillc road l>y any law suit as to right ol way. The result of any trial by any Jury of Abbeville men certainly would not sustain , the Columbia and (jrccnville wad in any effort to obstruct the runnlngof tho trains over the new road. There is a public demand for the road, which no Jury ot this county would UlsrcgarJ. The Editorial Epizootic.

For the satisfaction of our conlempoiarv we will ate that the records of our court from lSfiO to 1$r.>.

Often our criminal court last* but one day and rare' over two days. AVe have no hestintion In expressig the opinion, that if we had our ante-war sessions uefcet we could show in sixteen years a latger minitr of homicides th/in since the war, and this, too, hen our population was less than now, and when hltes only were tried In the court of sessions, news bi Ing tried before a magistrate. We retneinlter ne court before the war w hen three were eonvicled r murder and one of manslaughter, and another court hen eight or ten were indicted lor murder, though j e do not recollect the result, being then a boy. We ive never had a case of lynching in 1 his counly, nor | > we think o?r people feel that the law has been lax-1 or Imperfectly enforced, fhir rccord of hom cides , ustonicliiriir. when we reflect thnt>1 considerable |txrt; our imputation consists of ignorant nccroes, on . horn tne rights of full clt!r.enship liavc been confer-1 (I in their unprepared condition, and especially nhi-n iere has been fo much political excitement and so | any causes to exasperate the whites. We li?pe these data will satisfy our neighbor, thnt so | r ns this county is concerned, we are at puacc among. trsi-lves and witn all the world, and that hero the ajeety of the law is respected. M'e conld do ro more than utter our protest, II the rets atvl littmtcr should advocate the hanging of ;erv man who ttxik lite, whether the killing was in If-defenee, or In sudden heat and pns-lon.or deliberelv and maliciously, as the law rnjuires, b'-fore con clln2 of inordir. We nre. satisfied with the .v'tuint rat ion of xlie law here, and hope the day will never ime when w? shall feel It our duty to assail our Jndiory fur weakness or partiality, or to chare e twelve of tr honest, sworn citrons with a failure to do their j'y, not only according 'o their oaths, but nccoidlng their own and th<- highest interests of society, in 10 conviction of ollvudcrs against human life and : ojierty. Naturally men have an Abhorrence of criminals. I rom this, the mere charge of a crime against a man | ?ne step towards pronouncing him guilty. All our ijudtceSHre npain.it crime and criminals, and there more danger of juries convicting on too slight evi nco than in failing to convict.

Keep them Out. (Columbia Jlccoril.) We notice thHt a number or our State exmngt'S are ottering to club with agricultural upers published In the far oil corners of the nlon.

Now tills Is not nly Injurious to the subscriber, but does real injustice to the agricultural pnpers pubshed at home, by forcing lliem to compete rlth such utterly worthless publications, nd this probably accounts for tho repeated illures of agricultural papers in this State? y withdrawing from them the home support liat they otherwise would receive. We have here In South Carolina the Outton Hant, an admirable paper published at Marin, that should be taken by all of our farmrs, and Its subscription list would doubtless how a gratifying Increase 11 tho worthless oncernR to which we have alluded were kept ut of the State.

Tho "Keowec Courier" [makes noiiio Practical Ntijreost ions, wliieit are Worthy of l'oiiHi<lcrntloii. [ICiowce CY>urt'?\] No one can Uoubt but our people ppend too much of their crops on fertilizers. Tliey tux their Income so heavily that but little profit iK loft fnr t.liolr Inlior. Comuost msidn of lime Is calculated to develop ihe highest productive power of the soil of our county. Wc have a cold, damp, fertile superllces with a compact clayey subsoil, being n soil susceptible of the highest degree ?>f productiveness in the grasses and cereals. We only need something (0 warm up the soil and stimulate the growth of the plant in the spring. Fertilizers may effect thK object, extracting from the soli Its highest, yield, but without giving anything material In return. Lime will not only etl'ect the same thing, but will give new vitality to the land, which, lor a period of twelve to fifteen years, continues unabated in vigor. Tills is the difference, one is annual, the other Is almost perennial in Its elfcct. Wo believe further, that lime is preferable in Its power to render the plant capable of restating the Influence of drought or flood. Why then are not the rich veins of lime abounding In our county opened up and this viilimblo fertilizer applied to our soil? Discussion In Agricultural Societies will not accomplish tills, though In Its place U may do good. The use of fertilizers w ill not accomplish It, though this wears the tinsel of gold and attracts innnv to their ruin, in vain will science light up the pathway to prosperous agriculture, unless our people possess the will and energy to pursue and develop its teachings. We ship from distant islands, at heavy expense, fertilizers far inferior in value and durability to that abounding In our own county. Tho consequence is our soil is exhausted and our profits swallowed up in the annual demand lor these stimulanls. The policy Is suicidal ami very much resembles that of borrwing capital at ruinous rate instead of creating it. The protlts in both instances go from the Slate without leaving any benefit in return. If we use lime the benefit Is lasting. The price paid for the article Is kept in tho county and the general prosperity is promoted. Many of our people say wheat cannot be grown profitably here because the crop Is too uncertain. Lime Is the remedy for this. Wherever lime has been used, the crop of wheat, oats and other grains have been greatly Increased. We saw a piece of low land a few years ago on the place now owned by Mr. Con ley, which Captain A. Iloblns Informed us had been Jlincd by Mr. lireazeale about twenty years before, and It was easy to tell to the very row to which the lime hau extended. There are a number of good veins of lime In the Whctstons section of our county, and parties there have, on two or three occasions, begun to burn It. Only a few weeks ago we bought of Mr. Roach at 'it cents a bushel and he sold us several barrels of as good I line as can bo bought anywhere. We believe they have stopped burning, hut hope some one will again start the business. With lime at twenty-five cents a farmer can buy fifty bushels for about what three sacks of guano would cost. With fifty bushels of lime mixed with leaves, muck, Ac., a great deal of manure could be made, and tho land, so enriched, would lost many years. Let our [armors convenient t<> I lino try it a lew yearn, and we think they would iind it a paying Investment. 1'lrnt Make n MvIiikThe Tcxax Farmer hits Its squarely when it iir set ts that in crowing: crop* the leading and Hint pur-; jkiso should be to make iv living.

Ills is a condition of thln?s which our neighbors of a J ,1-Wm tgner mi mine ?n? mu. ua<v ?> .... inds are fruzun the entire winter, and in addition to lint are often covcred with a protection of snow, 'lie fact that our soils year by year liavo been graduI ly luit niiicly puMlne away 11 tic ocean with surface raVr, is a somce of great solicitude to our farmers; Mice ?Itli n view to counteract tills great evil many inns have been resorted to. An It It no nai t of my ilt'pose to discuss these various device#, I shall dimly ailmle to one, which aeems to have quite a close onnection with this subject. Some one, who or when 1 do not know, devised the l:m nf hillside ditches?a plan which In Its effict is ringing to the aid of nature a little science to assist II conveyit g the soli of the hillsides t-? the bottoms i the ni"St expeditious manner; nny It does not stop here. Over the soil thus deposited, the c!uy and sand \ ultimately brought down and deposited ns a worthi-ss str..tutii, thus destroying both hillside and bottom. tVery cureiul observer hus not failed to i-ce thot inds covered by hill side ditches nre doomed to arly and Mite destruction. IJut it would not bo protable to consume much of the time allotted to mo ill peaking of a subject which intelligent agriculture Is | i?t Ignoring. I have spoken of hillside ditching from he fuel that out of this grave mistake one of tlio rented blessings to the farmer of the last half centitv hus resulted. It Is a well known fiict that many of he grenti st discoveries ol the age have been tlio retilt <>f accident?among wtilch may be mentioned the ppllcutlon of steatn to motive power,as well as the llscovrry nf tho great law of eravi niton. In the Northern part of Chambers county, Alabama, not fur rom tiie line of Georgia, is quite a large plnn'ation mown as the Chishnho place, now the property of W. \ Orme, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer of the Ati.ina Jt West Point Itailrnnd. Many years ago this planallon had Its hill side ditches, fnr this land is rolllrg Ike most of the lands of the middle belt of Georgia. 1'hese ditches were In use, and a field, quite a large mo, was cultivated until worn out and abandoned, as s usually the case. The water had broken over the litclies In many places, and unsightly gttllies were exended from the summit to the base. While tills b id was lying out, at one point a remarkable thine o >k place; the old ditch had become tilled up at this dace ond grass and weeds had grown up luxuriantly, niching and retaining the eartli that for a consilientde time had been brought down by the rains, in fact ind Inrmed a complete terrace. Mr. Chlsholm rendl* y took tho hint, reasoning very naturally that what lad been done by accident might be done l-y design in a targe fcalo, to protect me wnu rruin wnsunis. He lit once formed Ills plan. Going lo ft neighborng Held he formed a tidvc across the Held on i> dead evcl. and Ids plan win also to have every furrow run hi a complete level. The question then arose how lar liese ridges should be apart. I>rawlnc a bow At a felitlire he decided to have three feet fall between the Idg<s. Subsequent tests have pi oven that this fall vim nboiit corn ct. He went on and prepared the enIre Held In this wsiv. 1 his was done thirteen years ipi. This wns, doubtless, tlie Hist Held that was ever erraced in tills part of the count'y. It him stood all lie rain for thirteen yearn wllh oomph te success, and hough It I as been olteii planted in cotton, there is not i scar nor break ill the flrld. Some yen;sifter this was done Mr. Orme becaino he owner of the place, whose practical eye soon saw .he great utility of what had been done/and as fast ik |H>pglhle tenaced all the land he intended fur culti,'iitli)n. I miv terraced. I use the term on others use t. It is ica ly at first a mitnonur, though alter a lei les of ye..rs each ridge becomes a ti lie terrace. Sow let us return for a short tluie to tlio old il*-ld A'here the discovery was made. This also after ft lew fears underwent the terracing proci-fs. It has been nelltioned that it was sadly disfigured by gullies. Many of the gul'ies were deep enough to bury a modiiin-si/.ed hot>e staudlrg erect upon his fei t. The old titches were plowed up and the terraces properly conducted. During last inontb I visited tills plantation ind particularly this old field, in company with some fcntleinen who am now members of this Convention, vlio will bear me out when I say tiiere was no eviletfce apparently that it had ever contained n gully. I Imve bj? krn more particularly of this field because t servis jim n type of w hut ban been done In other cues. \fter tills brief history, tlie desire Is very natural to know bow the thing is to be done?many, no doubt 'i elifg appalled p.t this probable labor nnd cost of tills process, I assert most positively, tliattbe labor of terncliitr u piece of ground docs not exceed bidf that of lilllslde ditching. It Is within the; reach of the farmer a'Iio oultivati s one acre or hundreds. I will now give is brli fly as inay I c. the pint of doing this wrrk. Begin at tlio highest point In the Held and nscerta'n i |Milnt giving three feet tall. Then construct your list terrace, so continuo until the field is complete, il way striving three feet lull between each terrace. S'ow, bow to construct the teiraces. I wish to emphasize the tact that these terraces must constructed >11 a pcrfect level. We must never tely upon the eye llone. But two ImpUtnuhts are necessary to lay oil .be terr-icis?a good theodolite and a graduated tod? mil wero I speaking to eng necrs Instead of a convention ot farmers, c> rtnlnly no inconstrucllon would bo needed; but It Is presumed that such instructions msy not be amiss on this occasion.. The graduated rod ary fanner can make. It should be fit teen feet long, marked off In inches ami feet, tlio Inches indicated by colored innrksnnd the feet by colored Uitures, that the marks and ilguics may be reul at u confidentble distance. Truln up ilie theodolite at a point where your observations may extend i|iilic acrom I tic field. Ilnve an inslstant hold the rod at the starting point. and indicate the figure that that sight of the theodolite strikes tin. Then' have your assistant move up as near on a level as lie can, a distance of about twelve feet (intimating this.) Then direct your assistant to move the rod up or down the grade, as the case may he, until your theodolite sights the figure Indicated at the starting point. Von thuM have started on a |x rfect level, So continue until you have ciosSed the field. To get the three feet fall between the terraces, count three reet additional on the rod every time. To mark off the lines, let a small scooter plow follow the rod man. The animal will very quickly learn t<> follow, giving very nine iron on*, v> iit-n me nuui ,?re completed tho terraces, or ridges, are made with a large two-horse plow; two lurrows will complete the |ob; one turned no the hill, the olher down, lapping the flrat with the Iai>t farrow, tlius completing the work. This w ill make quite a high ridge, being the iiartli g pnlnt of tbe tnrxcig; ulnays doing the above woik. IT possible, before the ground i? broken, as there should lie no lurrows run to luipr?i>erly direct ibe water to tbo low place#. This Is very Important. Having proceeded lb its fnr, you lire ready to break the lamL ami do It thus: Uun your furrows xtilh the tcrrucen; If you go around a land let the Iniid contain the space betwei n two terraces. Your lower furrow will be above the terrace, and jour upper furrow will be below your upper terrace, bo continue until the land is finished, completing In the middle ol two tcr? races, mi that every fuimw will be run on a level. 1] will now be seen that the guides for plowing, and lnyini' off rows, are established for all lime. Any poison with Judgment enonirh to lay off a row, cannot make n iniMiikc. To lay off town, half should be laid oil above the lower terrace,and half beiow tho upper Urruce? throwing any short rows in the middle. If In making your terraces, yon cross golleys, they must be stopped. Nothing Is inorc suitable for thif purpose than pine brush, ar.d lortunately, usually convenient, and as nil the rows are on a level, so that mi water can pass throngh them, these gullies are soon filled, and every time yon plow you Increase tho size of your terraces, rnd their power to resist tbe wa'er, Hut it is asked: Will this plan preseive land? Will It keep it from washing > I answer, emphatically, yes, I beg leave, onre more, to refer to the Ortne place, and stiite sonie facts which my recent visit revealed. Aboni E00 acres arc In cultivation including cotton, corn, grain, vegetables, and a finallorchard,every acie of which Is terraced. About 2.V) acres were In cotton, and uftcr carefully riding over the whole, not one wash was observable. One field, which had been the longest terras d, and where the grade Is heavy, from lif lecn to twenty-five degrees, the terracing had become nearly perlect. it resembling huge stairs, the steps being nearly level; and 1 am iully of the belief that not a slnglo dump-cart loaiTof caitn has escaped Iroiu the whole plantation In two years. Tiller years ago, 1 cuoiuu-ncot to terraco my own i hovo now ltiO acres terraced oil mv home place wltli equally satisfactory result-. Many of my neighbors are terracing and lire w? II pleased. But fl Ik diked: Wlicro docs the water go? The fact is, that the water remains on # level, and 1 lay It clown as s proposition, that If we keep the water distributed, 11 will not wash. The terraces, with tho common rows, will hold any ordinary rain. say ono or mo inches, When we construct a house,nilll-dnm, or bridge, we use such engineering skill in giving strength an will resist the usual forces brought against it; hut a deluge or cyclone may destroy any or all of these. A rain tnny fall which our tcrraa a will not hold, but the water being kcpt'disiributed, as above Indicated, ll will pa>? over in such distribution all along the terraces so that It will be like water passing ovei nearly level ground, and still not wash. I certainly would not venture to make these statements weu tiiey not fortified by the experience uf many years' trial. I have mentioned the ttse of the theodolite. This Is an Instrument somewhat expensive, n quiring souit sklli In its use. A good theodolite can be bought fot $-3.V0. If this Ir.r.rutnetit, from any cause, is objected to, a substitute may be used. 1 atn now using twi Implements, answering almost the same pur|>oses, ami of very small expense. The table level for runninc tho teri'iees. and the upright lercl for determining tht fall, (models for e?ch were exhibited.] ihe graduating rod being the same as the one already described. The liibi" level is made as follows: Two legs If by 2 incliet and 8 feet long, mortises '2 inches from end t by ti feel long, to receive a plank 4 by C inches nnd VI feet long, After (latin: up accurately, nail securely to tliu bottom of the long piece a strip J by two inches in width, running the entire length to prevent springing, Place a spiilt level on the middle of this, when your Instrument will he complete. To use this,obtain your starting point by having tbo spirit level indicate that Ihe hoi torn of the legi are on a level, then place the rear ieg where the fronl leg was niovid front, ranging the leg so that It will Indicate as before, until yoii have cro>scd your piece o! html, having a sinsil furrow ruu as in the case of the theodolite. The nprlgnt level inny be constructed at lollows: One piece 3 feet long, tapering from 0 Inchei wide in the middle to 1 Inch at each end, secure thlf to the square end of the long piece at right angles hj means of a screw, have an arm from the upright ti the end of the horizontal, so that the cross piece may bo lowered or elevated al will. Sights on each end can bo used. This may be used Willi a spirit level, ot an ordinary plumbline. To use this instrument, insert it in the ground nt Ihe point where the first terrace is run, level up accurately, point in the direction of the next teirae.e, with your graduated rod measuic the distance from the ground to the top of the Instrument, add three feet to tills, then carry tho rod down the grade until your sights on this level cut this last point, ar.tl mi on until tin- neiti Ik completed. Them; homo made Implements arc accurate ami will answer every |turpoH? unit possess the advantage ol cheapness. These we In fact tlio Implements which 1 tine myself. An active innn with these tinpli menu can Iny olf CO to 40 acres tier day?according lo the steepness of the grade. It will at once be understood that the steeper the grade the closer the terraces arc required. And now have spoken at Home lens?th of terracing as means of preserving land and giving a bi lef account of Ihe manlier of executing the work, It only reuialne now lo dl-ctiss the second branch of tho object: "Its belli tits to agriculture." As 1 have lo sonic extent In the first branch of the subject anticipated that of the si com), I will bo hi lei on tills head. Under this plan, your tdow Animals always walk on a level, this makes Ihe labor both of the plowman and the animal lighter. Under this plan you ean make it crop with from 25 to CO per cent, less ail than under the old plan. Anil why? Wo will suppose that one-half inch of rain fails, this will amount to but u fraction of a season on lands tinierMeed, while on terraced lands not one ounce of water esenidng from Ihe fields, it will amount to a pretty good season. Kach row l*einjr level holds Its quota until It passes Into tho ground where nil is saved. IJtil the great and crowning benefit Is this: While the land Is preserved to Its owner?while the capital ol the iigriculttnist Is being saved Iroin sure and Inevitable loss?the cause of patriotism is Served. If we can keep our binds from passing into sterility we will, doubtless, largely stop the annual beglrn fiom our noble old C'omttH'iiwealth, which is year by year robbing her of what the llottian mother said were her jewels. Georgia contains III round numbers 5S,0t0 square utiles, and is susceptible of sustaining many tiuies Its present population. Many of the best old rural neighborhoods have become so sparsely pnpit* luted tlmt neither schools nor churches tan lie sustaini'<l. Tin- oM plan was to cut down, wear out, inovu. Let us chanyo all this, to Improve mid stay. Ills my IIiiii conviction that an aero of laud liy the plan Indicated In Tliis address can lie rescued from sterility more easily than an acre can lio reclaimed from the forest. It would he of incalculable interest to the Prate If we could keep our population here. It is our imperative duty to do nil wo cli to accomplish this leslralde result, and nothing would ho more conducive hun this in making our country nttiactive to Ihu rlsti2 generation. It is one the evils incident to the ng ieiiltnre of tills section, that there is not sullicietit ittacluuent to home?to country. A traveler nnco In passing through tho sterile reform of Aragon, in Spain, asked a tolling Spaniard \ ho was del vine hy the road side, why he did not eave that wretchedly poor country; with a surprised on k lie answered 'is licit this Amy mi /" I would have Georgians feel that this is the Bpot of ill the world to live in, and If insidious arguments nc used to Induce hint to leave this grand old Mate, 1 vould liuvc Litu reply, "ia not tliis (J'.ortjiu I . ... 1 ^ 4 ????I?
