Messrs. Editors: Leaving home on tho 29th instant for tho City dowu by thc Soa, I havo concludod whiio I romain boro to transmit n few of tho most interesting items that como under my observation for tho columns of your over fuithful COURIER. Tho first thing that excited my admira tion was tho very duo appearance of tho small graiu orop ou my way to Anderson Court House. Anderson County seems to ho iu tho lead in agricultural pursuits of any section I passed through, and thc indi cation, tho present season, is by no means an exception that such is not tho case. Tn fact, tho prospects of whoat md oats in general ucvor wcro moro flattering than at present. Tho orop hos boon exceedingly backward up to a very recent date, and this is an indication that never fails to procedo an abundant yield. Wheat and oats aro naturally adapted to a cold climate, and tho backwardness of thc orop, as in thc present soasoo, only shows that wo havo had a cold free/iug winter, which has kept tho young plant from expanding itself at tho wrong season of tho year, and consequently thc soil is iu tho best tilt to maturo tho orop. If tho season remains dry tho lurgest yield over realized in this country muy ?ufoly bo anticipated. Ou our woy to Anderson wo also had an opportunity of socingnnd hearing something of tho results incident to fcuoing in the stock, ??o. From what I learn thc chango is only a matter of time to require it to work harmoniously. As a general thing tho croaking is among tho illitcato or misin formed class, Reformation in any direction ia always detrimental to our feelings ond wo should always bo well posted on any con templated reformation, that wo moy bo able to bridge across tho incident changes, that wo moy realizo tho ultimate result. I trust this may bo tho case with farmers ot'Oeouoc, and that tho new order of things mny bo extended as high upas tho Air Line Railroad nt tho meeting of our .Legislature this fall. Hut of this moro anon. On reaching Andorson wo found tho meeting a fow days beforo hod been largo and onthu8itistio. Wo wcro extremely dc? lighted on getting aboard tho train to learn that Governor Hampton would get aboard of our train at thc Abbcvillo junction. A largo crowd wcro assembled nt Hodgos cagorly trying to get a glimpse of Governor Hampton, and soon unmistakable indica tions were manifest of his arrivnl by cheers, tho waving of white handkerchiefs and tho prcsonting of fbwors, until tho car was filled with perfumo and tho Govoinor literally surrounded with bouquets. Qov. Hampton nos certainly tho observed of all observers and every indication was that coming events cast thoir shadows beforo. Boon after leaving Columbia tho sabio curtain of night put an end to observation and wo spent tho way to Charleston in oourting Morpheus ns best wo oould. After reaching Charleston and strolling through the central part of tho city wo rodo up to Magnolia Cemetery, on tho st/cct oar, and spent an hour in viowing tho city of tho dead. Wo remained on tho ground until sunset. There was a low gentle breeze rustling among tho young foliage of giant oaks, dod with thoir long mossy looks of gray, a rich porfumo wafted from tho thousands of flowers that decorate, tho loved ones whoso last resting plaocaaro marked by artistio and costly monumonts, tho gentle anthems of tho spring birds, tho meander ings of tho scrpontiuo, having its glossy waters ever and anon rippled by tho finny raoo whioh inhabit it, whilo tho shadows grow-long by tho sotting sun, forma a pioturo too poneivo and too cnohauting for descrip tion. Charleston has tito boat market in thc South, if not in tho United Staten. ' I visited tho vogetablo gardens (or Holds rather) that not only supplies tho Charles-' ton market, but furnishes immonso quanti ties pf carly vegetables and fruits for tho North; and no small amount of gain is obtained from th?so shipments of vegeta bios. Ono farm has 19 aorcs devoted to strawberries, and Irish potatoes and other vcgctablo products aro ns extensively culti vated as strawl 'vries. I was informed that from tho largest farms in strawberries fivoto eight thousand dollars had been realized per annum. 1 saw as many os 20 hands in one field picking strawberries. Tho hands get lt cents por quart for pichi tig. I saw yam vines 12 inches long. Thoy hod been propagated iu a hot house bcd. but woro transplanted. Tho next place of interest that I visited is tho Battory or Whito Point Garden. It is a kind of substituto for a park. Hero thc oyo rests on old ocean's immensity. Tho ship masts along tho wharves, tho Iorgo sail ing VCRSOIS moving nloug Uko a "thing of lifo," Port Sumter, Gustie Piuknoy, Mount Pleasant and Sullivau's Island, with their historic fame, forms another pioturepquo Hectic that can better bo imagined than do scribed. Tho next placo I visited was Sullivan's Island. Myself and several friends repaired to tho Sullivan Island Perry landing ?nd fouud tho samo boat, "Pocoain," flying as in days of yore that "tried mon's souls," and soon wo wero enjoying "lifo on thc ocean wavo." But when wo readied terra firma how changed! Every houso on tho island was destroyed during thc war; but u better stylo of houses havo been erected and thc buildings have been extended higher up thnn before tho war. I saw but oue thing that was not changed by tho ruthless hand of war, ui.d that was tho wily chieftain's last resting plaoc marked by a marblo Blab with this inscription, "Osceola." Aud lust but not least of tho Queen City of tho South's points of interest I shall uotico its artesian wells. Thu old well is 1,250 foot deep, strongly impregnated with soda and other minerals and highly rcoom uioudcd as a medicated bu th. The Charles ton Hotel uses it, and comfortable bathing houses aro fitted up by tho City Council, and tunny resort thither lo bathe. I have no mora faith iu medicated baths than I havo in pills and potions; but of its deter gent qualities any washer woman ought to bo fa miliar, when it is known to bc strongly impregnated with oarbonato of coda. Tho most convenient feature connected with tho artesian bath is its temperature, which is 78? Fahrenheit, and consequently is always ready. Tho new well is 1,880 feet doep. Tho contractor uses a steam engine to pcopol tho machinery for bouring this woll. Nearly two years have boon spout in bouring this woll. Tho contractor is paid by tho City Counrel 87 per foot, and tho contractor binds himself to produce 100 gallons of water por minuto. One doy this wook the shaft, or auger suddenly sank two foot and tho water inoreascd from 80 to 140 gallons per minute. The well is lined with iron pipe and as tho boring progresses tho pipo is driven from the top and other joints af piping added. Thc water rises with such Toreo as to raise all tho gravel ns it is loosened by tho augor. The temperature of this woll is about blood boat (98?) aud smokes whore tho water comes in contnot with air, like a pot boiling. It is found by cxporimcnt that thc tomperaturo inoreascs Io o very 100 feet ofter tho first 48 feet, whioh is tho sarao winter and summer, Wo seo from actual experiment that tho sup position that tho oontcr of tho earth is a mass of molten lava, is bused on a vory reasonable supposition. A few moro feet, it is thought, will bo below tho bcd of marl nod thc water will bo as puro as it is at tho fountain hoad, and this is thc philosophy why tho water is forced to tho top of tho well, thc fountain head being the highest. Tho United States Circuit Court con vened on tho 1st of April, Judgo Bryan presiding. Tho charge to tho Grand Jury was pointod and explicit and 80 plain that a "wayfaring man though a fool could not orr therein." Eight coses oamo boforo tho Grand Jury. True bills wero found in oaoh oaso. Tho most important oaso was against P. J. Murry for increasing throe post offico uiouey orders. Tho Grand Jury was discharged on Friday, tho 5th instant, and Court will probably adjourn by tho 10th. I forgot to notico in tho proper connco tion, as wo skinunod nlong Uko n swallow through Abbovillo and Newberry, wo passod many verdant fields of oats, forming quite an oasis in tho arid wintry appearance ol tho cotton fields. I oould but rofloot how numb of this happy chango from "all cotton and starve," to a diversity of orops and prosperity, was attributable to tho tcaohinj of that Staunch and scientific- farmer, af well as statesman, Col. 1).

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OB" "SCHILLER'S THIRTY YEAHS WAR" DY A YOUNO LADY OF WALHALLA-M. P. Ou tho 80th of Marou, 1631, Tilly, commander of tho Imperial troops, appeared in order to carry on tho soigo with vigor. Ia a short timo all tho outworks woro taken: The garrison, wenkoncd by previ ous contests, amounted to not moro thau two thousand infantry, and a few hundred cavalry; u very insignificant forco to defend so largo a fortress. To supply this deOoi ency tho oitizens wero armed; a doubtful expedicut, whioh caused moro damage thau it averted. Tho citizens being very ineffi cient soldiers, by their disunion, precipitated tho city into destruction. However, religi ous fanaticism, ardent lov . nf freedom, and unconquerable dislike to tho Importal name, removed from their minds nil thoughts of u surrender. They wero owaro of tho near approach of Gustavus Adolphus, and (hat a few days march would bring thc Kiug of Sweden before their walls. This was not unknown to Count Tilly; therefore, he has toned iu any way ho could to make himsolf master of J Magdeburg. Ho sent several totters to tho administrator, commandant and magistracy, demanding a surrender, but received for answer that they would rather dip than yield. Tho besiegers had meanwhile approached tho moat, and fired furiously from erected battorio3 upon wall and towers. Ono tower was soon demolished, but thc wall bad sustained very little injury ami the hot shot whioh was intended to sot tho city on fire, by excellent counter. preparation?, was rondcred unavailing. Tho powder of tho besieged was soon exhausted, and boforo a fresh supply could bo obtained, Magdeburg must bo cither saved or lost. With cager longing ull eyes woro turned towards tho direction from whioh tho Swedish bannor waa expected to oppcar. Ou tho 9th of May tho hostile cannonade unexpectedly censed, and the guns wero removed from several of thc batteries. Poathliko stillness reigned throughout tho Imperial camp. Every thing contributed to convinco thc besieged that their deliverance was at hand. A great part of tho townsman end guards forsook thoir post on tho wall iu order to onjoy, after auch arduous labor, tho re freshment of sleep; but alas, it was a dear sleep and a terrible awakening! Tilly had renounced all hope of subjugating tho city boforo tho arrival of tho Swedes, by tho previous method; ho therefore summoned n council of war, which declared for tho storming of Magdeburg after thc cxamplo of Mastriebt, whioh lattor city was sur prised and conquered carly in the morning, while tho- inhabitants and soldiers were wrapt in slumber. Four places were to bo attacked at tho oamo timo, and tho whole night botween tho 9th und 10th was. snoot in making the nooessary preparations. The r?sistance of tho hc&ioged was active and obstinate; but four Importal regiments finally mastered tho wall, foll upon tho rear of tho Magdeburgers, and the conquest was oomplete. Before mid-day all tho out works woro overthrown, and thc oily was in tho hands of tho enemy. Tilly planted cannon in tho principal streets, causing tho inhabitants to bctuko themsolvcs to their dwellings, thoro to await their destiny. Not long woro thoy in suspense. Tho soldiery, rushing into thc houses, gavo full vent to thoir unbridled passions. Soarocly had their bloody work begun than all tho other gates flew .opon, and the wholo cavalry together with tho Croatians wero let loose upon this most unhappy city. A tragedy was now ouaotod for whioh history has no lunguago and pootry no pencil. Neither innocont childhood, helpless old ago, beauty rank, uor sex had power to disarm tho rage of tho conquerors; nothing seoret, nothing holy, could escapo tho ovaricoof tho victors. Fifty-threo women wero found beheaded in a church. Tho Croatians amused thorn sol ves by feeding tho fiamos with innocent babes. P?ppcnhajm's Wallontuns speared infants on their mot hors' bosoms. Somo officers requested Tilly to put a stop to this butohcry. "Como again in an hour," was his answer, "and I will thon soc what can bo done; tho soldiers must havo somo roward for thoir toil and peril." Unintcr ruptotlly wcut on this work of slaughter, until smoko and flame onded these horrors. In tho beginning of tho attack tho cnotny had fired tho eity in sovcral piuco;!; now oroso a storm of wind which sproud tho flames with tho rapidity of lightning. In less than twelvo hours this rich, populous oity, ono of tho finest in Qoriuany, was roduocd to ashes, two churches and a fow huts oxooptcd. On tho 19th of May Tilly himself finally nppoarcd In Magdeburg. Most revolting was tho spectacle; tho living creeping from undor tho dead; children wandoring about, seeking thoir parents with hoart-rending cries. Tho entire number of tho Blain was computed to bo about thirty thousand. Upwards of a thousand porsous had sought refuge in tho Cathedral, whoro thoy remained throo days and two nights in constant droad of doa th, without nourish ment. These Tilly pardoned, and permitted food to bo distributed among thom. High Mass was celebrated in tho Cathedral. Tho Imperial General rodo through tho slrocts, so that as nn eye-wit new, ho might report to his muster that since tho destruction of Troy and Jerusalem, no such victory lind boou achieved. It is an industrious mau who fully under stands his own bobinoss. A. CiOOl) ?TO lt Y. ALEXANDER (. STEPHENS AND BOU TOQMDS. A dootor nnmud Royston hod suod Potor Bonnet for bis bill, long overdue, for attend ing tho wife of tho latte:, Alexander IT. Stophens was on tho Kennet side and Robert TootubB, tito Senator of tho Unitod States, was for Dr. Royston. Tho dootor proved tho number of his visits, their valuo aecording to local custom, and his owa authority to do medical practioc. Mr. Stephens told his client that tho physician, had mado out his caso, and, as there was nothing wherewith to rebut or offset tho claim, thc only thing loft to do was to pay it. "No," said Poler, "I hired you to speak io my ooBO, and now spoak." Mr. Stephens told him there was nothing to say; ho lind looked on to seo that it was made out, and it wa3. Peter was obstinato, and at last Mr. Stephens told him to moko a speech himself if ho thought ono could bc mado. ?I will," said Peter Ronoct, "if Bobby Toomba won't bc too hard ou mo." Senator Toomba promised, and Peter bogan. "Gentlemen of thc Jury: You and Iis plain farmors, and if wo don't stiok together theso 'oro lawyers and dootors will git tho advnntago of us. I ain't no lawyor nor doctor, und I ain't no objections fb thom ia their propor places! but thoy niu't farmers, gentlemen of tile jury. "Now this man Royston was a new doo tor, and I went for him to como and doctor my wife's soro leg. And ho como and put somo salvo truck into it ami somo rags, but never doue ouc bit of good, goutlomon of thc jury. I don't bolicvo he is no doctor, no way. There is dootors, ns is doctors, auro enough, but this mau don't carn bis money; and if you send for him, as Mrs. Surah Atkinson did, for a negro boy as waa worth $1,000, ho just kills him and wants poy for it." "I don't," thundered tho doolor. "Did you euro him?" asked Peter, with slow accents of a judgo with tho black oap on. Tho dootor wr.a eilont, and Peter pro ceeded: "As I was sayin', gentlemen of tho jury, wo farmers when wo soil our ootton has got to give valley for tho money wo ask, and dootors ain't none too good to bo put on tho samo rule. And I don't bolicvo this Sam Royston is no dootor, no how." Tho physician again put in his oar with: "Look at my diploma if you thiuk I am no dootor." "His diploma!" oxolaimod tho new fledged orator, with groot contempt. "His diploma! Gontlomcn, that ia a big word for printed sheepskin, and it didn't mako no doctor of thc sheep ns first woro it, nor docs it of tho man who now carries it. A good newspaper hns moro in it and I p'int out to yo thar, ho ain't no dootor ac all." Tho man of medicino was now lu a fury, and screamed out: "Ask ray patiouts if I am not a dootor!" "I asked my wifo," rotortod Peter, 'fan' she said as how sko thought yoa wasn't." "Ask my other pationls," said Dootor Royston. This scorned to bo tho straw that broko tho onmnl's back, for Peter rcnliod with a look and tone of unutterable sadness: "That is a hard saying, gcntlomon of tho jury, nnd]ono that requires mo to dio or to havo powors as I've beam tell ceased to bo exorcised sinoo tho Apostlo9.
