FOR THE ADVERTISER. - BILLET ONCE 1ORE. Masas. EDITORS :--I will with pleasure accept not only the Millet seed you speak o4but any other kind you may wish ex pebimented with. At present I have only one kind of Millet .'- Egyptian. 'In the year 1853, I was so fortunate as to obtain seed enough of the Ilan Millet to plant a quarter of an acre; but the Spring was so dry that it did not get a stie 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 h144 been inable to find it. Perhaps I gave the wrong name. Hosvever, although I lost the seed of it, I. had ample opportunity to test -its valuable. as. as food for Stock, and I can say with tii, tliat for hogs I have never tried any thing better. Here is the result - of an ex perimae't I made with it in the year above .named. I had a gang.of twelve shotes, ten months old. About the middle of July,'I turned sirof them into a first rate oat pas turothe 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 ter eondition every way ; which advantage thejimaintained until they were killed, about a year And four months afterwards-weigh ing-mnch heavier than the others. This is a stmbbisi fact, which no carolling or sophis try can get round. -But, gentlemen, as a friend of mine would s there has been talk enough on this ubjet...

CIRICULMR, - The ilowing circular has been issued by the Executive Committee of the State Agri cultural Society, and forwiarded throughout the State : UO'o the District Societies and Citizens of -the State of South Carolina : The undersigned, who were appointed an Eetive Committee, at the recent Meeting of the Delegates, rrom various portions of our State, to form a State. Agricultural So. ciety, would respectfully suggest to you the iupostane of such an object, and earneed~y request of you to call on the citizens of your .sepetive Districts to unite and form Din 4ct Agricultual Societies, that shall co-op. erate with the State Society in collecting usefli nformaftion and disseminating it among the people at large. We also propose, to -fier annually suitable premiums for the best managed farms; for the most approved breeds ot~tock; and for the implements of husban igy best adapted to our agriculture; also " for -the mecanical, artistic and domestic productions or our citizens ;" and we hope bythe stimulus thus afforded, and the rival ry thus excited, to bring about a gradual and steady improvement, not only in agni ,cltural, but in all of the industrial pursuits of our State ; and wve trust that every citi enof South Carolina, from the humblest to the highest, will zealously enlist in so inportant and patriotic an undertaking. To accomnplisliso laudable an object, it Is evident we must have the means, and those, too,.of a .permanent character. We pro. .psew, therefore, to raise, by individual sub aserption, the sum of twventy-five thousand dollars, ($25,000,) and to petition our Leg islature for a suitable amount df monley, to -be invested in stocks paying regular dividends and e-. use annually only the income rrom 'such 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 of twenty-five dollars (825) each, and that the differedt District Soci les shall pay annual lythte sum of five do ar into the Treasury f the State Society. From these three sources we hope to raise abundant means. At the late Agricultural Meeting in Colum 'a, there were ninety Delegates who be ame life members, and raised in a few min utes over-two thousand dollars (82,000;) nd we have every reason to believe that the itisees-of :the District of Richland and the tow~n of e lumbia, will raise a liko amount; and ait the Trows Council will -also miake- liberal donations, to the Society, by providing -the grounds -and suitable ac commodationls for the exhibition of stock, implemets of agricutlture, and the product oF the mechanic arts. With such bright posets before us, we entreat every one to use his -eartions to form District Societies, *to become himself a life member, of the State Agricultural 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 Agricults ral Meeting. that is to take place in Colum bia on the-sesonid Tuesday of November iext; sud'ice most. earnestly request each member of the State Society to be punctual in his attenidance-fer it is not only by an interchange oif feelings and opinions on the ubjec of agriculture, that we can hope to gve t6 it thatimportanse : to 'which it is so ~sy entitled, and to sexeite -that laudable spirit og~ rivalry among our District Sdeie tie by 'whieh they will becofbe honorable comptitOrs in advancing the prospergof their respective Districts, 'and the tneads of 'euopP and increasing the .agricultural -eotS of the whole State. . We also rsog oo! as a permanent 'fund. hall ber I96 t appo int a Secretary and Treasurer to the State Society, wvho shall a hrge of all of the~ re'pom!' :i ' other communications from the District Societies, and publish all that shall be worthy of publi. cation in a weekly or monthly agricultural journal, to be under the control and direc tion of the Executive Committee-which journal shall be sent gratuitously to each life member of the State.Agricultural Socie ty. Thus, you will perceive that the Dis. 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 earnestly appeal to you to aid as in carrying out our laudable purposes. 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. ABBEVILLE, 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 ?"-Sontk Carolinian, LASTING EFFECT OF BONES AND ANIMAL. MATTER.-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. rhe Rural New- Yorker says: " We know of a field in an adjoining coun ty that has been crbpped 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 tled, was indented with graves within six feet of each other, all over its surface. Trho 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 he seen mingled with the soil, and, sad as it may seenm, 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 fewv inches deeper, and turned up a few more Indians. HoxsEs.-MIany advocates for thorough brds .remuark that they hate short-back horses; but [ take it there are few who 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, howvever, 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 thick horse instead of a long one; such are com pact horses, and not only calculated to car ry weight, but take care of themselves into the bargain ; their very formation and short quick action enabling them not only to gal. op smoothly over ridge and furrow, but to jump like bucks, and to chuck themselves right into the middle of the next county when you come unawa~res upon doubled dithe, or an traplike description of fence. -Bull's Life in London.

CAROLINE' COLEMAN, Ex'ix. New Literary and Political Journal, STO . rUuEZiiD AT COLUBIA, a. C. THE Undersigned, late Editor of 2'e South Carolinian and Columbia Banner, proposes to publish, in the city of Columbia, a Literary, P. litical and News Journal, to be called In making this annoneement, I -am aware -Abhat I propose to engage in an enterprise not free from difficulties; but These I will endeavbr 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 con ducted with a view to render it atleast equal to any ever published at the South. The cboioostselections 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 acts and doings of the various political organizations. All news worth giving toits 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 political affhirs, to in duce them to'sustain with vigor 't 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 asI receive a'sufilient number of subscribers to ensure its success. Send forward your names. W 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 MVANUFACTORY I EDGEFIELD C. H., S. C.
