Restoring and Preserving Land.
We publish in another column an admirable
essay upon the subject indicated by
this caption, read before the New berry Agricultural
Society und published in the )t
Conseri/ititl. Though designed particular- J
ly for Newberry District, it is applicable to n
ours as well as to ull the upper Districts of j,
the State. Tibs custom, comui<>n with v
other Agricultural Societies, of appointing (
committees to prepare essays and report v
upou different subjects connected with 0
Agriculture, has never been adopted by our ?
Society?; or if it hos.^tho essays have n
never, to our knowledge, come to light? t
We liilnk it an excellent idea and would
tend greatly to promote the usefulness of t
our Society, and we will cheerfully publish, B
tree of charge, any acceptable essay upon p
Agriculture.

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

that the person will accept, and when thus 1
made, or when carried to excess, Uiey necessarily
fail to be a source of general interest.

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)

veok in October tlio comet will be o
nost striking brightness, possibly the
est of the century, and at that time

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
