Oar Supplement
With this issue we send to our readers a
supplement givintr a great doa] of information
Concerning tho value of Soluble Pacific Gu
ano aa a fertilizer. 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

of capital orimcs to a few, which, from their
heinous uaturo, pre suppose a degree of moral
depravity that forfeits thc claim of the offend

doubt, punishment should bo proportioned to
tho crime, and should never be ROsevero as to

great crimes whioh strike at thc peace of so- I

property. Such, however, appears to bo thc
policy of the present age of progressive non

this Bill becomes a law, wilful murder will
be the only offence punishable with death.

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.

An order for books, accompanied with
$11.75, wus sent through me to tho Purent
American Bible Society.
" Tho Committee on Distribution, connect
ed with tho American Bible Sooiety, have in
structed us to state, that hereafter they will
cxpeot all applications for grunts of Books by
Auxiliaries, und so fur as practicable all oth
ers, to receive the endorsement of the. Agent
from whose State the requests are made, to
gether with full information of the iu?ts which
enforce each cu.. They aro especially desi
rous to know the extent of destitution, the e'A
forts mad* hy applicants to help themselves, or
to pay inpart for Hooke received from our
Depository, or to contribute to the cause, the
number and character of the population tobe
supplied, and iu fine ?ll that may ussure tho
Committee of tho propriety of theso requests."
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."
Collections from Pastors of Churohcs, and
from all friends of the Bible, and contribu
tions of any amount will bo thankfully re
ceived and duly acknowledged.
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
