Last week wc published a letter from Charles A Peabody a well known planter, who has been .experimenting -with com m ere; ul munuros for twenty five years, giving bis testimony as to thc relative value of the Soluble Pacific and Peruvian ' Guano. Putting the same quantity of each to tho sere of bind of tho samo quality and -etposuro he wrs unable to discover any appre ciable difference in the crop realized. Ho gives it as his opinion, that tho Peruvian contains -an excess of volatile ammonia, whioh is paid for, and lost to the purohnscr, whilo tho Solu ble PuciGo afford* n sufficiency of ammonia with moro Phosphates, und concludes, as tho latter is thirty dollars per ton cheaper than tho former, equally effective asa fertilizer and not so liable to injure the plant in seasons of groat drought, that it is both wisc and eco nomical for thc planter to uso thc Soluble Pa cific- Wo recommend to our planting friends tho careful perusal of tho numerous testimo nials contained in tho supplement end leave .them to bc their own jud?os, Carolina National B ink Thc attention of money hoblers ia invii d to tho advertisement of the Carolina National ijink of Columbia.

Without doubt, punishment should bo proportioned to tho crime, and should never be ROsevero as to becomo vindictive, but its object being the protection of society, wo should never suffer u feeling of mistaken humanity to deter us ( from inflicting the severest penalties for those i great crimes whioh strike at thc peace of so- I oioty and thc security of life, reputation and 1 property. Such, however, appears to bo thc policy of the present age of progressive non sonso and universal lovo and equality. When this Bill becomes a law, wilful murder will be the only offence punishable with death. Tho ravisher and house-burner will have, firstly, the chance of escapo from arrest and conviction ; and secondly, if be fails in that, a chance of pardon, ofter a few years' confine ment in tho Penitentiary.

To Young Ken. There is no clement in tho character of a young mnn, which so surely leads on to suo oess, as that firmness and tenacity of purpose, which wo cull decision of charaoter. Histo ry furnishes but fe-v instanoes, where men o^ genius have risen to eminence. They aro always flighty, wavering from one thing to an. other, and rely too much on the gifts, which Providence has lavishly bestowed on them, without realizing a necessity and duty on their part to improve those gifts. It is the man o' moderate natural abilities, tho plodder, who builds up for himself a reputation and a name, and furnishes to tho world examples of real greatness-Conscious of his own deficiencies, he applies himself to his profession with such assiduity as to command success. The con stant dropping of water wears away the hard on stone and so unremitting application to ono pursuit will surmount the greatest difficulties Too many young men are casting about half their lifo fora congenial profession, trying one and then another and adopting nono. On roaching maturity, lot your first question be, what avocation in lifo shall I follow and when tho decision is once m ado, let it be fina! and unchangabte. If you resolve to be a shoe maker, let nothing turn you from your pur. poso, but follow it with industry and economy and you will surely attain fortuno ; it a mer. chant, be cautious and prudent in your pur chases, diligent and courteous in your sales, end you ?t?ed have no fear of the couscquoti ces; if a minister, lead a devout life, that others seeing your good Works may honor and reverence you ; if a lawyer be not dismayed at tho musty tones whioh will be pointed out for your perusal, but set to work never doubt ted hut you can accomplish what others have done ; in a word whether you choose o liberal or menial avocation remember that not tho cft?lng gives honot bnt tho tkl??ln^iH^enco jftt j.j:.MJ?i.jj..-n.ij;jV^i.j_j;j>.y...jy. m, with whioh it is followed. Honor your work ?nd it will react with honor on you. " Aot will your part j hore all tho honor Hos." It is a great mistake to suppose that manual la bor is disreputable. Un tho contrary, the honest, frugal and industrious farmer or mo* ohunio always has friends and is.respecte^ by. every one, while tho Idle and dissolute sro despised as drones in Sooiety. Labor io ove* ry capacity is honorable, dignifying and hf but the fulfilment of that divino command whioh Adam received when h? was driven from Eden, " In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread." If your calling be honest never bo ashamed of it and never doubt but you can live by it. I remember a gentlemen, onoo told mo, he asked my father whether he though* a living eould bo mado at old Pick, eus by tho trade of a oabinot maker. He said, my father replied, if ho was a basket maker and would be diligent and economical, he could lay up money. That man after wards accumulated a fair property. Honce wc conclude that diligence and economy iu I any calling will yield au fruit, both Honor and fortuuo. Young mon, try it, and my word for it, you will succeed. I Tb* First Olas*. ! I will take one drink j there eau bo no harm in that, and it is so pleasant to enjoy a social glass with a friend. 1 nover intond ta be a druukurd and wallow In the streets. Thus reasons the young mun when first enter ling ou " that long laue that never turns/ which ends in temporal and eternal death. Young man pause and reflect, that evcrj drunkard, you meet on tho highway or sci reeling and staggering about tho streets o your village, once reasoned io tho same way but where is ho now ? Wallowing in tin mire ; dead to every sense of honor and res pcctability ; steeped iu vico and orimo am lost to himself, to bis family and to society Take that glass and let us examino what tin first drink coutuins.

Now turn th glass, and you will sec a noble intellect, mau' likeness to his maker, ruined, then a broke hearted wife, surrounded with wan, raggc children crying for bread, gaunt povert standing by, and in thc back ground domei tic happiness wrecked on a bleak barre abure. This is a terrible picture, but tl real horrors of that first glass lie still deepi and aro almost invisible-If you will UK more closely, you will seo a gibbet with a mi standing un the scaffold ready to be launch? ^fr^M^tv^nhi 1 c a great crowd listens EK^fe|j?tf?fiOlint3 thc dungc j, ' ' Baud less dt , , Q EBrO infernal p l? m -e.

In genius, in pat riotism, in wisdom, in devotion to his coun try, he ever ranked with the great founders of tho Republio ; and among many sad re flections, there is one which especially depresses our heart aa wu reflect upon tho death o' Govcruor Pickeus.

To meet tho demand for tho Word of God ia this State, u tho Auxiliaries are earnestly requested to increase their efforts to raise funds for gratuitous work, and especially to forward without unnecessary delay all funds now in hand, or readily collected for Bocks or on donation account."

Thc finnnciul year of the Amerioan Bible Society closes on tho last day oj March, i860. Those, therefore, who oxpoot to see their payments acknowledged in the coming roport, must have them remitted through me to tho American Bible Society by that dute. Since tho year 1865, by request of Auxilia ries and others, the American Bible Society sent into South Carolina over 50,000, copies of tho Holy Scriptures ns donations. Some uf the people of our State whero books have been reocivod, have made in return liberal donations of money to thc American Bible Society. My desire is that ult should help this holy cause. Every littlo will help, und all should try and do something to nid in the publication und distribution of the holy book of God. During the year 1866, I organized the Walhalla Bible Society. A grunt of Bibles and Tostuments wus procured for it Irom thc American Bible Society and received by Dr. A. E. Not-roan, who is the Secretary, Treasu rer and Depositary.
