One at least of your committee (feeling a deep inter- t,^y est in the subject, and knowing that our I agricultural prosperity depended upon the ,.s;n'r solution of this question) has lor the last ' .11 . vertis; 15 years adopted a series ot experiments tj in planting, with a view to ascertaining j j( whether the tiling was possible, and he wav 11 is happy in being able to state that be { ( lias succeeded, not only iu preserving such _-va? portions of bis lands as were good at that time, but in improving those which had ?M been injured by a bad system of cuitiva worj-, tion. The plan which has been tried and ij8j,lt? which we recommend, wo will briefly Hlo|lJ 8lftt0, into ? The first object is to prevent the laud from washing, if broken or rolling, as most of our District is, which must he done by !

V Specimen of the Atlantic Cable. Among the many curiosities to be found nt the store of our enterprising Merchants, Messrs. llasseltiue Si. Cureton, is u specimen of the Atlantic Cubic, lately brought on by one of the firm from New York.? Attached Lo it is the certificate of Cyrus W. Field, to the effect, that it is what it purports to be?a veritable specimen of the Atlantic Telcgrapn Cable, now attracting so much attention over the world. The remnant of the Cable was sold by Cyrus \V. Field to Tiffany Co., of New York and ' the latter are selling it off in four inch pieces, making, it is said, u handsome speculation. The Cable, in diameter, is probably three 1 quarters of nn inch ; in the centre are eight small copper w Ires and these convey the electric currents : a covering of gutta percha , surrounds this wire, probably one third of t au inch thick, and this is again protected by L a strong net work of wire. The curious in such matters are invited to call and see it. Another Nomination.?We hove n communication from "Taxahaw," intended for , last week's issue, but received 'oo late, nominating Joseph Clarke, Ksq., as a suitable representative from this District to the legislature. The election being so near at ! hand, we have deemed it useless to insert it now, and can only express regret at its de' lay. It is the custom of the majority of our exchanges to charge at advertising rates, recommendations for offices of honor or profit and also for the reply of the complimented individual. We have lately experienced the necessity for such a rule. These nominations are often mnde with the view In m-rsnnnl i-nfunllmnnl *' r*" ' .

( Look oat tor the Comet- t Our Charleston exchanges a short time I since, published a report from the Cum- * bridge Obscrvary, in reference to the comets then visible at that point. This rvport sta. ? ' ted llint there were then visible in the hen- I vena three comets, the brightest of which < ( (I)onati's) could t>e distinctly seeu with the i linked eye about ten degress abovo the horfi zon in the Nnith-Wost about 7J P. M.-? It was said to be rapidly increasing in bright- ? ness and rising higher above the horizon at I that hour. Our late exchanges from the < city say that the Comet has been seen in | Charleston. The Mercury says it is visible < to thu naked eye, and can be seen in Hip r northwestern part of the heavens, about < ten degrees above the horizon in a line with i the two stars called the Pointers, and form- ? fng nearly a right angle between those and I A returns. It is now beat seen at four o'? t clock in the morning. The Albany Atlaa a says r I "It is now only one hundred and I rillions of miles distant, and is .very r r approaching the earth, and already si hrough a eointnoii opera glass a we) ined tail. We are told that during tin veok in October tlio comet will be o nost striking brightness, possibly the est of the century, and at that time >o seen uear Aicturus." A Comet, doubtless the same nlludi bove, has been visible here for the lasl ral.days and they who have observ ay it is increasing in length and r ligher above the horizon. It may be rom dark until about 10 o'clock at n 1 ilie North-west. Resistance to Aggression"The Charleston Mercury, which par mstains the Democratic party, thinks he Northern wing of it will not do to ipon and counsels the South to w.atc ess, if she would not be led to ruin. Mercury says : "The South must rettoro the Com ion, nnd with it the Democratic pari ifo, by direct positive resistance ami n >n the first grave issue thnt arises, oi nust save herself from a remorseless ition despotism bv leaving the Union, n active course of resistance, a new i vill be forced upon the people of the ?the issue of preserving the Union." We indorse the above heartily, althi vc do not-see the condition of the d ratio party and the danger of the Sou he same desponding liglri, that the ury does. Should the grnvo issue lha ilercury apprehends really come?nu nvolving the interests nnd honor o South, the latter should not yield a p ?le even for the sake of the Union. u k.,i~ ~. s ir ?i? o v nut uwiicn in i>viu|'iuuii?ua. ll lilt: ?j akes licr position wisely and judicio hielded by the tenets of tlie ConsUli lie should maintain it regardless of ci unices and thus force upon the Nortl Iternativc of a compliance with whi iglit and constitutional or a dissoluti he Union.
