ESDITOR OF THE RURAL CARO LLAN: With many persons there prevails an idea that the South. western States offer a much better opening to young mtn than the ol-l er States. Having left the home of my childhood, and sojourned for fifteeA years in one of the most fertile sections of the Southwest. I may be pardoned for offering a few suggestions to any who may be on the verge of emigrating from this their native State, to try the uncer tainties of what they suppose to be a better country. My experience has been, that farming is much sarer of success here than there. All a man needs here is a plenty ty of energy and a determination to succeed, and without these qual ities he will not succeed any where. The disasters to which the crops are subject are much more numer ous there than here. The expenses of carrying on a farm are much heavier. . The yield of a crop for a term of years is much less uniform therethan here. When there is a good crop made it is more than can be gathered, but this is of sel dom occurrence. When there is a failure it is an entire one. Here we are sure of making something every year, be it ever so little. Here we have health, good water, and passable. roads in winter. There more or less sickness (gener ally more) muddy lime water, and -well, there is no adjective that will convey any idea -of the roads in 'winter. If a man intends to work himself in his farm, he will find it much more trying to his health and constitution there than here. Veg etation grows very luxuriantly, and the dews are so heavy that one can seldom go, on foot, in a field in the forenoon, without becoming drench ed. Many of the old settlers carry quinine in their pockets and take a dose every morning in the year round. I worked in my farm there and it gave me chronic chills, from which I suffered three 'years. The doctors gave me so much qui nine that it nearly destroyed my hearing, and quite destroyed a good portion of my earnings. I work here in my farm without any injury to my health, though it was very much impaired when I returned. I find hard work agrees with a man here. Young men, tatke my advice, pull cff your coats, roil up your sleeves, take hold of the plough and hoe handles, and quit thinking about "going west" to try to make a living easily for there is simply no' such thing possible. "By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou cat bread."-SMA LL FA RME R, in Rural Carolinian, May No. FLOWER GARDENING FOR LA DMES.-~Ladies should be their own flower gardeners. The greater part of the work is light and fur nishes pleasant exercise and recrea tion. During the warm season, the early morning hours and the coo1 of the evening should be~ cho sen for the operations of the gar den. "But I am not strong enough," do you say ? This is just the way to acquire strength. Be gin very moderately, allowing some stronger person to do the heaviest work. An hour or two of light, ac tive and pleasurable employment, out of-doors, each fair day, take our word for it, will prove more benefi cial than the best tonic mixture that your good and much respected doc tor, with all his skill. can prepare for you. Try it. You will soon: be able to use the light hoe and spade, which we recommend you to procure at once, with ease and pleasure. The quack's female pills find few patrons among the wives and daughters who cultivate their own flower .gardens. The idea that the employmegpsuited to e nan isa preposterous aind ab alne Where is her place if not among the flowers-herself the fairest flowver of all? Shall she blush to own that her own fair hands have reared the floral gems with which she adorns her hair? SRunral Carolinian for June. L.D WAS1m:G.-One of the greatest objections to our farming operations in this country is the tandce of our rich soi to wash off and rapidly deteriorate in fertility. Ant.t ., r ,i:sfortune is the indiffer ence with which many farmers treat this important subject. It is plain to any observing mind that a fihl of r cl:, fertile soil will yield doable the amonnt of one that has been thu3 neglected, and suffered other malpractices. I have in my mind now the case of a so-called farmer who allowed an ol. road way, a quarter of a mile in length, t! wash so deep a plough could hirdly cross it, when ten minutes w:i: a sp:de would have prevented it. Anld 0!ften We see large, im p ssable (ithes form through valuable land with no effort to stay t.e fearful waste. This, with a f r:-.ful vuiee, verifies the old say ing, "a slitch in time saves nine." A few hints in regard to reme dies are in order. First, the land can be ploutighed so as to help the case by rulaning the furrows cross wise of the rills. I prefer to have the water flow in straight rills at regul tr intervals, and to prevent these from washing deeper, back corn-stalks, large green weeds, fine straight brush, etc., in the bottom, and allow the grass and weeds to grow in these ditches. Thus the water has something to wear on, and with a little care much soil can thus be saved. But the best man ner to preserve the fertility of the soil is, as any intelligent farmer knows, to seed down to grass, es pecially clovers, not forgetting the i-uportance of the proper use of manure.-Western Farmer. STARTING MELONs.-The following unique plan, which we find adrift with out credit, is said to be the one long in use by a man who has had remark able success in growinig melons. We suppose it would answer equally well with squashes and similar plants : "I dig holes twelve inches square, eight or ten inches deep; fill up with well rotted manure to the surface. OU this put two inehes of soil. Theu take a four-inch flower pot.; set in the cen ter; draw the remainder of the soil around the pot, until the seil is about four inches deep, then giving the pot a twist round withdraw it. This leaves a hold four iuches deep by four wide. In this drop five or six seeds, and cov er to the depth of three-quarters of an inch. Over this place a pane of six by eight glass, pressing it lightly to fit !ose. I then give no more attention till the plants are touching the glass. Then go through taking a small stone, raise up on.e end of the glass with it ; this admits of a circulation of air over the plants and hardens them. In about three days more remove the glass entirely. By this time they will be in the rough leaf; thin out to three plants in a hill, draw a little fine soil around them, up as as high the seed leaf, and the work is done." CcUMUER' PICKLES.--Put into a jar or barrel one pint of molasses to each gallon of cold water; add the ucumbers daily, as you pick them, having themi first washed with a feath er brush, and see they arc not scratch ed or bruised, and that the stem is cut, not broken or pulled off. Put a weight on them, and when they have becomec sufficietly sour remove them to the cellar or a cool place. but never let them freeze. If more liquor is needed, add molasses and water as before. Since horseradish was r.eommnud in the Rural lVew Yorker a few years since, I have used it with the best re suts, and now put it among all piekles to prevent scum or mold. Add spices if desired. These pickles arc as good as cuumber pickles can be made, will keep a year and ready for use at any time after the first few weeks. I think all housekeepers, to whom it is new, will hail this recipe with delight, as I did, for I was tired of "saltirg downi," nd too much of a temperance woman to use or make whisky pickles for my family. YARIETY PICKLE.-Oue gallon of cabbage finely chopped; half pint green peppers; half gallon green tomatoes; ne 1uart onions (chopped flue and the juice drained from them); four tablespoonfuls muu.tard; two of gin. er ; o:ie of cloves; two of tumzeriec one ounce celery seed ; two pounds su ar; a little salt and half gallou good cider vinegzar. Mix well and bo'il twenty minutes. Anything like snaps or ecubers can be chopped in before boiling. Gjentl.niaein think this pickle very ie. The London Field records the complete and wonderful restoration. of a lot of chickens badly afflicted with the gapes, by means of a feed of tallow candle melited anti mixed with a quart of oatmeal. The same cure has been repeatedly tried with invariable success. Let no man mke light of this prescription. BEEF PATTIES.-O hop fine rare oast beef, season - with pepper, alt, and a little onion. Make a! lain paste, cut into shape like an pppe puff, fill with the mince, and >ke quickly. Minnesota granger has three housand acres of beans. isuautons. important to Taxpayers. JUDGE GRAfAM'S DECREE AFFIRMIN( THE RECEIVABILITY OF THE BANK OF THE STATE BILLS FGR TAxES. The following is the decree of Judge Graham, the substance of which has been already announced: In the Common Pleas. Charleston County, First Circuit-The State ex rel. the Union Banks, vs. Wil liam Gurney, County Treasurer, Charlest-n County. The re,htor tendered hilis of the corporation known as the president and directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina for payment of taxes due to the State. The tender was made under the section of the charter of the corporation which pro vides that these bills shall be receivcd for taxes and money due to the State. The county treasurer refused to re ceive the bills so tendered, and appli cation was made for a rule to showv cause wby a mandamus should not is sue to compel that officer to receive the bills so tendered. The county treasurer has filed his return, and the relator has filled his reply to the same. The case so pr-c sented is in no material respect dif ferent from the cases which have been before the Suprewe Court of this State and of the United States. In the cases of Wagner vs. Stull, and Robb and Lowndes vs. Gurney, all the questions now before the court of the United States. the judgment of that court declaring that the bills of this corporation should be received for taxes, adopted by the Supreme Court of this State in the cases refer ied to, a mandamus has been ordered to go from this court to the county treasurer to receive the bills of this corporation for taxes. I consider. therefore, that the cues tion of the receivability of the bills of the corporation known as the presi dent and directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina, for pay went of taxes due to the State, is final ly and conclusively settled by the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Supreme Court of this State. When the State became bound by its obligations to ze ceive these bills for taxes and monev due to it, such portions of the gencr:d tax as were applied to the wants ol the subdivisions, then called distriet. and now called counties. were levied by the State itself. Now they are levied by the counties, but in the ex ercise of a power given by the State who is responsible to the State for misfortune or malfeasance in office ? There is much forcein what is said, that when the State assumed the bli gation to receive those bills for taxes all taxes were due to the State, lee by it and applied as it directed in the districts, now called counties. It is true that the power which the court now exercises in regzard to taxa tion is the power which the State gives to it. and, moreover, it is true that a qualification of the power of the State in regard to the mode in which a tax is paid, would seem tc follow the exercise of the power if delegated. But the question is not free from doubt, and if the taxpaye: has the right to pay taxes in the coun ty in these bills, it is proper that it should be so affirmed by the~ Supreui4 Court. The judgment of this court is. that the bills of the president and directors of the Bank of the State of South Carolina are to be received for taxes due to the State ef South Carolina, but not for taxes due to the County of Charleston. Let a mandamus issue to William Gurney, coun ty treasurer of Charles. ton County, to receive for paymnxt ei taxes due to the State tiie bills of the president and directors of the Bamnk of the State~ of South Carolina tender ed by the relator. Tiiis or-der will be applicoble to al other cases in which tender of such bills have been made and xmandaamus asked f.ir. RI. F. GRAMA.. July 15, 1874.

It is acknowl edged by many prominent physicianls to be the most reliable p)reparation ever in troduced for the relief and cure of all Lung complaints, and is offered to the public, santioned by the experience of over forty years. When resorted to in season it sel dom fails to effect a speedy cure in the most severe cases of Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough, Influenza, Asthma, Colds, Sore Throat, Pains or Sore ness in the Chest and Side, Liver Complaint, Bleeding at the Lungs, &c. Wistar's Balsam does not dry up a Cough, and leave the cause behind, as is the case with most preparations, but it loosens and cleanses the lungs, and allays irritatio thus removing the cause the complaint.
