FOR THE ADVERTISER. - MlILLET ONCE ORE. Massus. EDIToR:--I will with pleasure accept not only the Millet seed you speak o1 but any other kind you may wish ex perlmented with. A present I have only one kind of Millet 41w Egyptian. In the year 1853, I was so fortunate as to obtain seed enough of the laian Millet to plant a quarter of an acre; but the Spring was so dry that it did not get a start until July, and the Fall being early it did not mature, and I did not save a seed. Since then, I have sought for it in every seed store of note in the United States, but haii- been linable to find it. Perhaps I gave the wrong name. -However, although I lost the seed of it, I had ample opportunity to test its valuable. tgs. as food for Stock, and I can say with tnlh that for hogs I have never tried any thing better. Here is the result of an ex peiment I made with it in the year above .uamed. I had a gang.of twelve shotes, ten months old. About the middle of July, I tared sirof them into a first rate oat pas tare,-the remaining six,- without choice,-I kept out and fed them with the green stalks of this Millet, and nothing else. About a month afterwards, I turned them altogether, and the difference 'between them was clear at a. glance. Those fed upon the Millet were considerably larger add in much bet teoondition every way ; which advantage they maintained until they were killed, about a year and four months afterwards--weigh ig-mach heavier than the others. This is a stabboii.. fact, which no carolling or sophis try can get round. -But, gentlemen, as a friend of mine would say there has been talk enough on this suject.. He who wont believ~e now, would not, thbagh he were to see with his own FA RM ER. .' 1ggiis*Ferry; Sept. 8, 1855. - -CIRCIIR, The following circular has been issued by the Executive Committee of the State Agri cultural Society, and forwarded throughout the State : To the District Societies and Citizens of the State of Southi Carolina : The undersigned, who were appointed an FE/xecutive Committee, at the recent Meeting of the Delegates, from various portions of our State, to form a State. Agricultural So ciety, wvould respectfully suggest to you the imotsne rof such an object, and earnestly request of you to call on the citizens of your -respeitive Districts to unite and form Dis 4tict Agricultual Societies, that shall co-op erate with the State Society in collecting useful informgz~ion and disseminating it among the people at large. We also propose, to offer annually suitable premiums for the best managed farms; for the most approved breeds o~tock ; and for the implements of husban dy best adapted to our agriculture; also " for -the mecanical, artistic and domestic productions of our citizens ;" and w~e hope bythe stimulus thus afforded, and the rival ry thus excited,. to bring about a gradual and steady improvement, not only in agrn ,eptural, but in all of the industrial pursuits of our State ; and wve trust that every citi zen' of South Carolina, from the humblest to the highest, will zealously enlist in so important and patriotic an undertaking. To accomplislf so laudable an object, it is evident we must have the means, and those, toorOf a permanent character. We pro. ~pose, therefore, to raise, by individual sub raeripion, the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, ($25,000,) and to petition our Leg isature for a suitable amount 6f monley, to -be invested in stocks paying regular dividends an'to use annually only the income from s ur-h investment. To raise the individual subscription-, it is proposed that citizens in te different Districts, who are disposed to join the State Agricultural Society, shall become life- members upon the payment or twenty-five dollars ($25) each, arnd that the different District Sociqies shall pay annual ly-thte sum of five do ar into the 'Treasury of the State Society. From these three sources we hope to raise abundant mneans. At the late Agricultural Meeting in Colum bia, there were ninety Delegates w~ho be ame life members, and raised in a few min tes over-two thousand dollars (82,000 ;) and we have every reason to believe that thka citiees-of :the District of Richiand and the town of Columbia, will raise a like amount; and that the Trown Council will aso nmake' liberal donations to the Society, by pr-oviding - the gr-ounds - and suitable ac commodatiOns for the exhibition of stock, impements of agriculture, ad the product *o Ahe mechanic arts. With such bright. .prospects before us, we entreat every one to. use his egertions to form District Societies, to hr-comnehinself a life member, of the State Agricutral Society, and to procure as many other life members as can possibly be oh. taed. Above all, we invite each District Society to send Delegates to the Agricultu ral Meeting, that is to take place in Colum hia on the second Tuesday of November ~ext; and we most earnestly request each member of the State Society to be punctual in his attendaice-fer it is not only by an *interchange of feelings and opinions on the ~nbjet of agriculture, that we can hope to give to it that importance to.which. it is so ustly .entitled, and to excite'-that laudable sirit of, rivalry among our District Socie tie by ~whieh they will becoftie honorable competitOrs in advancing the prospeig of their respeciive Distriiets, and the means of deyeloping and increasing the .egricultural reo-~S of th whole State. . We also roce.soon as a permanenit for.d. shall pr iI; to appoint a. Secretary and Treasurer to the State Society, who shall azk carga of a". cf thv: rcp')t iw! c oh'r communications from the District Societies, and publish all that shall be worthy of publi cation in a weekly or monthly agricultural journal, to be nuder the control and direc tion of the Executive Committewhich journal shall be sent gratuitously to each life member of the State.Agricultural Socie ty. Thus, you will perceive that the Die.. trict and State Societies will be made to co operate most harmoniously-the one in col lecting information, and the other in publish. ing and diffusing it. We therefore, most earnest-y appeal to you to aid us in carrying out our laudable purpose. All of which is respectfully, submitted, on behalf of the Executive Committee. A. P. CALHOUN, E. G. PALMER, J. U.. ADAMS, R. W. GIBBES; 0. M. DANTZLER, R. J. GAGE, A. G. SUMMER, Executive Committee. ABBEVILL, THE BANNER DISTRICT.-A friend has just written to a member of the Executive Committee of the State Agricul tural Society, that Abbeville, since the re turn of her delegates, had subscribed five hundred dollars to the society. A. commit tee, consisting of Dr. Barratt, Capt. Byrd and Col. Marshall, have agreed to canvass the district, and already the citizens of the beautiful villages of Greenwood, Due West and Lowndesville, have tendered barbacues, in order to bring the agriculturists together. In Abbeville this great movement originated, all her delegates to the Convention became life members, and now she has evidenced her devotion to the good cause by affixing to her banner a motto of speaking dollars, which-tells the proper tale. A district so noted for richness-of soil, thrift of her agri culturists, prodigality in her hospitality, and whose true intelligence is evidenced by her acts, can only be properly appreciated when she is properly known. She has in her bor ders more lovely villages, she was first to establish the most noted private seats of learning in the State, and now in this great industrial movement, she is where her enter prise places her, at the flag staff. When will her sister districts "face the music and fall into ranks ?"-South Carolinian, LASTING EFFECT OF BONES AND ANIMAL MATTaR.-We have seen a crop of turnips, by their increased luxuriousness, mark the land where thirty years previous about one hundred bushels of crushed bones had been applied per acre. The Rural New. Yorker says: " We know of a field in an adjoining coun ty that has been cropped for thirty years, and is now in a high state of fertility. The surrounding fields are nothing like it, and with similar cultivation would by this time have been utterly impoverished. The for mer is the site of an old Indian burying ground, and when-.the country wvas first set tied, was indented with graves within six feet of each other, all over its surface. The dead were buried in a sitting posture,. not over two 'feet below the surface, and the writer, when a boy, filled his pockets many a time with beads and arrowheads, turned by the desecrating plowshare. The half decayed bones of the aborigines are this day to be seen mingled with the soil, and, sad as it may seem, furnish food to successive crops of grain and grass. If the soil at any time gave signs of impoverishment, the occu pant merely run the plowshare a few inches deeper, and turned up a fewo more Indians. HoRsES.-.Many advocates for thorough. breds remark that they hate short-back horses; but [ take it there are few wvho ever saw a long-backed one which was fit for anything else but striding over half a mile of turf, and on this account I have always avoided general length, as it is termed, in breeding hunters ; if, however, there must be length, let it neither be in the spine of a stallion, or in liis legs, but horizontally, or right through him. We then get a thieki horse instead of a long one; such are com pact horses, and not only calculated to car ry weight, hut take care of themselves into the bargain ; their very formation and shori quick action enabling them not only to gal. lop smoothly over ridge and furrow, but to jump like bucks, and to chuck themselves right into tho middle of the next, county wthen you come utnawares upon doubled ditches, or an traplike description of fence --Buli's Life in London.

CAROLINE- COLEMAN, Ex'ix. A- on9 3 New Literary and Political Journal, TO 53.IUaLiaD AT. cOOUMss, a. C. THE Undersigned, late Editor of The South Carolinian and Columbia Banner, proposes to publish, in the city of Columbia, a Literary, Pe litical and News Journal, to be called "TES RAMEII," In making this announcement, I am aware Ahat I propose to engage in an enterprise not free from difficulties; but these I will endeavor to provide against, by securing a Subscription List that will place the paper beyond the reach of failure. South Carolina can richly support, at her Capital, a leading Literary and Political Weekly Journal, and to her people I now issue this Prospectus, feeling assured the enterprise will be sustained, and that they will support a Home Journal of the character of that now proposed. As a LITERARY JOURNAL. For the home circle, the Examiner will be eon ducted with a view to render jt atleast equal to any ever published at the South. The choioostselections of English and American Literatye will be made for its columns, and a number of able Contributors will be secured. I will endeavor, in this department, to make it a journal worthy of the patronage and steady support of the people of this State and of the South. As a POLITICAL JOURNAL, The Examiner will abide by the old land-marks of the State Rights Democracy. Independent of na tional parties, it will take a stand as a faithful co operator in the great work of maintaining Southern Rights and promoting Southern union. It will be the organ of no political party-the exponent of no political creed-which has not for one of its cardinal principles " the Equality of the South in the Union, or Independence out of it."'- This is no new faith, but one which South Carolina has long and earnest ly contended for. NEWS JOURNAL. The Examiner will contain the latest News, For eign and Domestic, received up to the hour of publi cation. It will give full and correct Market Reports and Prices Current. Our readers in the country may rely on strict attention being paid to this impor tant feature.of a newspaper. It will give full and accurate reports of the Proceedings of the Legisla ture and of Congress, and the aets and doings of the various political organizations. All news worth giving to its readers will be carefully culled for its columns. SIZE AND STYLE. -- The Examiner will be one of the largest Weekly Journals in the Southern States, printed with new and elegant type, on fine white paper, and issued in large quarto form of eight pages, containing forty columns of interesting reading matter. It will be the handsomest paper ever published in South Carolina. I have thus given an outline of the principal fea tures of the Examiner. Carolinians or the people of the South ought to need no further appeal, in view of the present aspect of polit' l affairs, to in duce them to sustain with vigor efficiency their own Press and Literature. TERMS. Two Dollars per annum, payable in advance. The first year's payment will be required on the receipt of the first number of the paper, which will be issued so soon as-I receive a'sufficient number of subscribers to ensure its success. Send forward your names. g Postmasters who will be so kind as to for ward me names of subscribers will confer a favor, and will receive a copy of the Examiner without charge. Address me at this place. WM. B. JOHNSTON. Sept. tf 34. CARRIAGE MYANUFACTORY! EDGEFIELD C. H., S. C.

Its effect upon the system in all cases in which Sar saparilla is indicated is wonderfV It .is a great safeguard against diseases arising from a torpid state of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood. Generally, it acts upon the Bowels as a mild pur gative or laxative. It not only mildly moves the. Bowels, but gives tone to the system by restoring a healthy action iur the Liver, and by freeing the blood from its impurities. For children. it is a great pr ventive of worms and supercedes the necessity .f giving them so much worm medicine ; at the same time it improves their general health. A better and more useful medicine cannot be in troduced into Edgeleld District, either for-profef sional-or family use, than the Georgia Sarsaper lla.
