and doubt not thal he is thc mau for the

We were also pleased to meet with Gen.

erecting thereon a largo building, suited to
business purposes, os also that of a dwelling.
Mr. JOHN KAUFMANN, ono of our largest
contractors, ts tho builder, und is progressing
with commendable rapidity.
Mr. KAUFMANN has also erected, on his
own promises, a largo workshop, into which
ho expects to introduce, ut an carly day, tho
labor-saving machinery applicable to his ex
tended business.
In truth, our mechanicsuvonorallyj in every

Agricultural College.
It is kuowu to some of our readers that, for
a year or two, nu ellbrt has hoon made to es
tablish un Agricultural College in this section.
Col. CLEMSON, ot' Pendleton, was, ot ono
time, very activo iu this behalf; und hud tho
prom iso of considerable menus for this pur
pose. Thc Congress of the United States has
donated to each Sluto a large sum-about
8ISO,OOO-in furtherance of such an object.
As wo understand it, South Carolina hus \
made DO disposition of this fund, held in trust
by her fora great and mentons object. With
this amount, und that which could bo secured |
otherwise, thc undertaking would eventuate
in success.
Tho Agricultural and Mechanical Society
of this County, by resolution, has assumed
control cf the effort to establish thc College,
and will, in tho future, propose a plan of
action, lookiog to its location hero.
The letter below, from Col. CALHOUN, of
Abbeville, to Mr. CLEMSON, of Pendleton,
exhibits a liberality ou bis part which argues j
well for success. We give tho lettor io full :
TROTTER s SHOALS, \
Savannah Uiver, July 5, 1870. J
J DKARSIK: Yours of Juno 24th is just
received. If I bad known, iu time, of the
meeting of thc Agricultural and Mechanical
Society, I would have requested you to renew
my offer of land, for tho location of a Semi
nary, to bc under its control. At bis first,
leisure, your son should, tu company with
Mr. Martin McCay, explore my inclusive
survey, made up of grants, purchases and in
heritance, lying back of Walhalla, for several
sites they may deem appropriate j you to make
thc final selection. Let the tract bc in a rea
sonably compact form, and embrace ns much
j us 1,000 acres, if desirnblc. Although in
the whole space covered, say, 25 miles wide,
there cannot be found a spot two miles from
water power, still regard should bo bad to
places where there may bc tho greatest facil
ity tn utilizing it. Tho design is to bestow
enough to enable thc instilulion, with fair
management, to bo self sustaining. My pla
teau is within tho "thermal belt," where fruits
ure not effected by frost. Hence, nurseries,
dried fruit, wine, cider, &c, arc sure menus
bf income. A region like that und this, a
rolling country, abounding in perennial
streams, is thc most capable of a pervading
and economical system of irrigation. Irriga
tion of plains can only be done by a govern
ment, and then the country is mude sickly
Here, ns I saw in China, the smallest farmer,
owning a spring branch with stone convenient,
can, unaided, soon have a suite of terraces,
that will foti dor him independent of thc sea
sons, while thc bill sides can bc devoted lo
fruit and timber trees, and level summits to
pasturage and rotation of crops. Thc youths
employed todo tins will havo tho training to
self-reliance, so essential in this agc of pro
grcss - work eight hours a day, yrudio'n..'.
, ... ~- r...v. .?i itt mies so ruinous ns to
seriously repress thc improvement of the
country. Thc water-power Is important, that
there muy be proper workshops, to give them
the degree of mechanical skill which every
farmer should possess. Unless hedges be
used and the buildings be fire proof, there will
bo a falling short of the lilting example.
Very truly, yours,
J. EDWARD CALHOUN.

Thc Wihnsboro News, in speaking of the

"Wo call attention to thc communication

"As Mr. Stokes is comparatively unknown
in politics, we have made enquiry us to bis an

Messrs. Editors ; At a recent meeting of
our Agricultural Bu ,4.y, a member asked,
"What was tho length and depth of tho roots
of cotton and corn." In answer thereto, I
send you some extracts from experiments
made by Mr. Samuol Harnett, of Washing
ton, Georgia, published in July Number
of Southern Cultivator.
Mr 13. says: A cotton plant 4$ inches
high, bns n tup-root 10 inches long, and a en
terai root 12 incites long.
A corn stalk, 10 inches high bas roots 30
inches long, which go 12 inches deep into
thc soil. That is, tho roots of corn "bend
down at the rate of ono inch deeper for
every th reo inches of increased length."
Ho remarks further-"To havo accomo
dated tho roots of a stalk, ten inches high ns
it stood above ground, without cramping tho
growth, would havo required a box five feet
in diameter and a foot deep, holding about
14 baskets of earth, which would weigh about
1,200 pounds and bc an ordinary two horse
loud."

Presentment of Gi ami Jury
STATE OF .SOUTH CAROLINA.
Url OX KU COUNTY.
To His Honor, James L. Orr, Judye, of thc
Eiyhtk Judicial Circuit:
Tho Grund Jury, in tho discharge of their
duly, beg leave respectfully to present :
1. That they lind thc publio buildings in
good condition ; and recommend that a kileh
cn, meat house, corn crib and stable be erected
on tuc jail lot. Wo have examined the jail,
and lind it clean and well kept, and thc pris
oners provided with wholesomo food. Wc
also reOOtnmend that tho Court Ht>use bc en
closed with a substantial plank fence
li. Wc have examined thc publio offices,
and find the offices of thc (Merk, Sherill Judge
of Probate. School Commissioner and County
Auditor open, ?nd thc officers in thc discharge
of their duties. Wo find tho books of tho
County Treasurer away from tho ofiloo, but
such as we desired to seo wcro produced be
fore us. Wo hayo no reason to believe that
accounts submitted to us uro iucorrect, but
wo cannot resist the conclusion that there are
irregularities in the conduct of tho business
of thc ollicc, which, if permitted to continue,
may result in confusion and perhaps more
serious evils ; and would therefore express
the hope that the) will be promptly corrected,
as the books ot thu ulYiec nug}? tat all times to
afford to thoso authorized to ion ni re, a clear
and ready history of its oflioiurtraiisactions,
and be open at all times to their inspection.
3. In reference to tho salo of thc Poor
House and lands, belonging to thc counties
of Piokens and Oconee in common ?nd pro
viding suitably for tho poor in ei'ch County,
in our opinion, such u salo would ho detri
mental to thc interests of both e< unties, for
thc following reasons: 1, Thc txpouso of
pure losing two suitable tracts for t ic support
of the poor in thc two counties, und erecting
necessary buildings thereon, near'the rcspec
live Count Houses would not probably bo
one-fourth met by thc sale ol' thc present land
und buildings, after deducting the ox penses
of Selling und purchasing. 2d. That the pro
curing nf two suitable Stewards would involve
au annual expense double that uaw incurred :
for this purpose, od. Thc stocking ol' two I
farms would involve a further very considera.
j hie expense to the com es. 4th. The p<M- ?
clttiso of supplies for each of tho counties,'.
when made separately, would bo at greater
expense than if made by ono pois m for the
poor of both counties ut once. 5th. If the
convenience of having poor houses near tho
Court Houses should overrule tho continuing J
of ,,-,5 joint occupancy of the present poor
house lands asa permanent arrangement, then
its sale should be postponed for some years,
until the people shall have recovered from thc j
extraordinary expenses recently incurred.
.I The roads in tho County, gutturally, !
have been much washed by the recent heavy '
rains, and, in many places, obstructed by fal
len trees. Wo recommend that tho) he put
in good condition at thc earliest practicable
period. Tho convenience of travel demands
that a change of the public road running from
Walhalla to Clayton, Ott., beginning at the
foot of thc Stumphouso Mountain, avoiding
thc steepest portion of the. mountain, and re
entering tho present road near what is known
as the Indian graves. Thia new route luis
been heretofore, located !>..'? i-~*i^}1y opo--->'-<
, . -j u_wv.,o that thu chango siioui.T bc
made, and tho new route worked out and
put in travelling condition. They request
that tho County Commissioners take tho mat
ter in hand, ?iud, if found advisable, as toe
(?rand Jury think, that they have tho change
m ide. They also recommend that the p.ivate
neighborhood road running from tho top of
tho ridge between tho Yellow and White
brunches, on tho Walhalla and Clayton roads,
oin George Syn?mes' house and intersecting
thc Oconee Station road at Double Springs
meeting house, bc established as a public
highway.
5. Wc recommend that Willis 'Phi rik ill be
indicted for petit larceny. J. H. Siigh is
a witness to tho larceny.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

DASTARDLY OUTIIAOK.-It han been a

The War and our Interests.
Tho first effect of tho Kuropcmi war upon
American interests will be tho return of largo
numbers of our bonds now held in Prussia,
and to a lesser oxtcnt of those held in other
countries. Wo soo no causo to regret this.
Thc tl er nans bought bond s of us at exceed
ingly lort rates, ut u time when wc much need
ed money. Now that the positions arc rc
versed and they aro wanting money, wc shall,
be glad to get our bonds back again at as low
rales as possible. Wo cannot hope to mako
as good bargains as tboy did, but we ought to
welcome the return of every bond. Nor do
wo boleivo that such return will have so mark
ed an influence upon the (?old Market, or up
on our gm.eral Interests, as has been antici
pated. Wo can well afford to spare the gold,
and wc bavo every reason to rejoice at the
diminution of our indebtedness to foreign
count rios.
The next most obvious effect of tho war
upon American interest will bein tho improve
ment of our commerce. This is, of course,
dependent upon the prolongation of tho war.
If it should end as suddenly as did that be
tween Prussia and Austria, tho effect will bu
scarcely perceptible j but if it should con
tinue for several months, wc may well hope
that tho increased demand may stimulate our
shipbuilders and bring from other uses many
vessels which may now bu profitably ot ip'oy
cd in tho oCcnn carrying trade, from which
the Kreuch and Prussian merchant marine
will be excluded. Wo might oven hope fol
ono or two lines of American steamers to K.u
rope. Win, ll. Webb, wu presume, has sever
al vessels ut command adapted for such ser
vice, and possibly there are others that can
be summoned. As soon as it becomes appa
rent that tho war is nul to bo ended with II
single battle, we hope to sec a decided move
ment in this direction.
The effect upon our market for bronkstuff;
has already been fell, and tho advance or
Sa tu'day is but a trilling indication nf what
we may expect, provided the same questioi
nf the probable continuance of the war sb il
bc decided in favor ol' our holders. Tin
country is in good condition hi supply tin
extra demand then likely to tm thrown upot
ns. the returns from which could not but adi
!ar<_r<-lv to thc general prosperity.
lt is possible that the Kui opean demand fo
our cotton will be diminished rather than in
creased by tho war Colton fabrics do no
largeiy enter into the mittori d consumed bj
at?,'ns. and the consumption by the people a
