Its ingredients aro so skilfully com bined, that tho full alterativo effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild ns to bo harmless oven to children, it ia still so effectual as to purgo out from tho system thoso impurities and corruptiona which dovclop into loathsomo disease.

Wyatt Aiken, in Charleston News and Courier.] Oats ami Oatmeal, .-? Perhaps tho Stato of South Carolina ncvor harvested suoh a orop of oats os sho will this year. After long osperienco in oat sowiug, and continued effort to proouro a sort of oat that would yiold a good crop, and bc proof agaiust ruat or blast, our farmers ?cem to have, nt last discovered tho nrtiolo ia tho valuable rod oat, now so ex tensively sown throughout tho Stato. W hat ; a boon that little grain has been to tho farming interest of tho Stato, few mon oatt conceive who huvo not watched its intro duction and gcnoral cultivation with a sort of experimental intorcst. Its presenco BS a staplo crop suggests some moral reflections. It baa como in our poverty Uko a spcoial providence. To de pend upon growing corn to feed tho beasts of burthen, nnd so muoh of tho human raco as sojourn on South Carolina roil, would entail upon our farmers au endless poverty, and perhaps want and starvation to plough animals. Hut just in tho nick of time comes tho red oats to savo us from industrial fuiluro, and to secure for us political inde pendence; for wc believe tho truthfulness of tho assertion wo heard mode not long since, by a distinguished lawyer of tho back country, that "red oats whipped tho fight in 1870." For, said ho, whon tho red shirt, at tho proper signal, unhitched his plough traces, mounted his steed and threw thc hnlf-busho] sack of red oats behind him, ho meant business, and business with him meant political victory. And how many I hundreds, yoa thousands, of such heroes did wo seo in 1870? Lot their epitaphs be engtaved upon the grateful memories of a disenthralled people'. Wo heard another man cay, (and ho was n praotieal farmer, and n successful ono too,) that in South Carolina wo can raise oats at ten cents per bushel. Whilo we think this somewhat extravagant, wo aro prepared to believe any mau in South Carolina can grow a bushel ol oats almost as cheaply as ho can a pcok of corn, nod wc nguiu assort, as wo have often osscrtcd beforo, that thrco busncla of oats arc equal to len bushels of oom in maintaining plough animals. Then why it is that wo do not grow oals to export from South Carolina no ono oan tell, except that tho farmers havo not yet become weaned off from their in herited farm polioies. But wo said that wo aro growing this year an immenso crop of oats. Thon tho next question is, what will wo do with them when harvested and threshed? Will wo glut tho market, and almost givo them away, on wo havo dono occasionally hereto fore? Wo hopo not. If properly fed to any and nil kinds of animals they oan bo made topsy bettor than by selling thom upon a crowded market. A (ino market might bo opened even for homo consumption, if our millers would in troduce tho proper machinery for grinding them. Our furmors, and tho nogroos in tho country, would laugh at a man who would advise thom to cot their own oats, aud yot thero is nothing moro wholcsomo; and to day thcro aro mon in South Carolina who cat, as a portion ot thoir doily food, oatmeal porridge, but send all tho way to Baltimoro and New York to get tho oat meal out of which it is made Thcro can bo littlo doubt but that if boiled outmoal wcro to Loc?me a prevailing breakfast aud suppor dish, wo would rcquiro moro milk, and this would rcquiro moro cattle, and moro oattlo moans moro fresh moat, and moro fresh meat moans less baoon, and lesa bacon moans better gcnoral health, and better health moans moro happiness. So just seo what might follow eating oatmeal. Wo dip- tho following from a Northorn oxohango: "For tho past forty years, says nn English, man, I havo mado my breakfast off n pint of oatmoal porridgo, with voryraro exceptions, and nothing olso, fasting for four hours nftorward. If, howovor, I tako any other form of breakfast, I (ind mysolf very hungry before tho next meal, which ?8 uovcr tho cuso when I have my porridge. 1 feel OB* Bured if workingmen end their families would but take a basin of oatmeal and milk porridge night and morning; with such other food as they can procuro in tho in terval, wo should have a healthier rooo of men and women than now exists. A few years ago 1 had a Devonshire girl living with mo ns a servant. Tho girl was willing enough to work, but had not tho stamina to perform it. This I found, on questioning hor, arose from tho dclioiont and ill-advisod diet ou whioh sho had been rcarod. She shortly bogan to toko hor porridgo night and muming, and this, with a daily mid day moal of meat, enabled her to perform her duties with caso. It is surprising how much nutrition is contained in this cheap, wholesome food." Oats do not contain a groat dool of phos phate matter, and thorcforo aro not com mended as n bono producing food, but inas much as almost all tho food wo cat supplies tho necessary phosphates for tho growth of tho skeleton, there is moro necessity to have our diet composed of suoh substances as produco flesh, fat and muscles, and oats contain a superabundance of these clements. Tra vol whoro wo will North of tho Poto roao or Ohio, and wo find oatmeal and milk or sugar a favorito breakfast dish. Tho grains of oats aro ground sufficiently to rub off tho bran, and perhaps oraok the grain. In this condition they aro boiled and eaten like hominy with milk or with sugar. Wo hope our farmers will tost tho palatableness of this dish during tho summer and lot us hear from them. It is a new dish to moat of thora, but if it proves to bo wholosomo and palatablo, why should it not be intro duced hero as it has boon olsowherc? Wo olip tho following from anothor ox obaugc: Oatmeal, now found on almost ovory gentleman's breakfast tablo, was, a few years ago, used exclusively by the Scotch and Irish. Dr. Johnson, who, in his hatred of ttio Scotch, lost no opportunity of saying a bitter word against them, defined cats ns in Scotland food for Scotchmen, but iu Eag? I land food for horses. .'Yes," answered an indignant Scotch man, "whoro oan you find such men os in Scotland, or suoh horses as in England?" Wo havo hoard of a shrewd old Scotch mother who used to make her family cat oatmeal first, saying: ''Tho bairn who cuts tho most porritoh will get tho most meat after it." But tho bairn who gained tho prize always found himself too full to onjoy tho meat. It is mentioned in a most charming book, ''Tho Lifo and Letters of Lord Macaulay," that Carlyle, os tolling sight of Macaulay's faoo in reposo, remarked, "Well auy ono can seo that you aro on honest, good sort of fellow, made out of oatmeal." If oatmcnl oan "moko" suoh men os Walter Scott, Dr. Cha!mora and Lord Macaulay, we may well heap high tho porritoh dish, and bribe our children to oat of it. Ono thing wo do know, that it is far better for tho blood and brain than oako, confections, and tho sooros of delicacies on which many palo little pct3 aro fed hy thou- foolishly fond mothers. "Tho Quccu's Own," a rogimcntof almost giants, recruited from tho Scottish High lands, aro, as Carlylo said of Macaulay, "mado of oatmeal." So boys who want height, and breadth, and muscle, and girls who want rosy chocks and physical vigor, should turn from hot broad and other indi gestibles, to this food for Scotchmen and hordes." Fish Culture. AN INTERESTING ARTICLE PROM A DIS TINGI'I8IIED SCIENTIST. "Fish aro so prolifio" says the distin guished naturalist Buffon, "that if tho pro duot of a pair of herring could bo protootod iu twonty years they would fill a apaoo ns largo os tho earth." Logan, io his history of tho upper part of South Carolina, describes tho streams as so crowded with horriug, that tho water was Booroo visible. Naturalista say that no herrings were ever found in our streams, and that tho word shad should bo substi tuted for that of herring. Somo forty or lesa years ago, it waa customary for wagons to como from n distanco of forty or moro miles to tho Seneca and other tributaries of tho Savanooh to lay in shad for provision for tho year. Wo havo knowledgo of tho abundance of that fish within tho period mentioned. Now, for years, it is soldom that a shad is seen on our tablos. It has boeomo so great a rarity, that if they aro proourod nt nil, they must bo purohaaod at railroad depots, brought from bolow on ioo. Wo aro informed that tho oatoh in Seneca this sooson has boou nut, jr Migratory fish ascend rivers from tho ocas and seek spawning grounds in tho upper tributaries, whoro tho wator is oool, rapid and well aerated. Tho young fish tho shad requires throe days to oraorgo rom tho egg) soon acquire vigor enough to descend to tho soa, whero thoy disappear, return tho ensuing soason, instinctively to tho identical spot whoro born, and again go through tho process of replenishing t tho tho waters. If tho streams aro obstructed by dams, wires, or other impediments, suoh os saw dust from saw mills, whioh oro common on our streams, tho dust outers tho gills and kills tho fish. OhomioalfJ in solution, suoh as sulphate of iron and sul phate of copper, arising from tho deconvo lution nf cupriferous pyrites, rondor tho wator as barron of lifo as tho Doad Sea. Fish aro in vigorous health iu tho spring, whoa an?mala om?rg? from winter poor io flesh, uuhdaltliy, and unsuitable food for mao. Tho Catholic hiorarohy, over *watchful ovor tho well hoing of tho faithful, make the season of Lont ono of fasting, and all animal food is prohibited aud fhh substi tuted. Tho samo diet is prcsoribcd for Fridays and perhaps other religious days. This observance dates book to tho remote history of tho ohuroh. Bofore tho maroh of science and civilization (for they aro co-temporary, and tito latter dependent upon and subservient to tho former,) had installed rapid transit, tho Borvioo (in Catholio oountrios) for supplying fish to inland cities was as rapid as that which carried tho mail, nud on largo estates fish ponds wero oom mon for breeding nod rearing fish, not only foi' tho inmates of tho chateau, but tho laborers as woll. Tho requirements of the ohuroh wero under tho surveilla nco of tho parish priest. It is questionable whothor any cultivated portion of tho earth's surfaco oan bo made to yiold, on equal acrcago, as much food as water. It is known that tho brain contains free, uncombined phosphorus, which is also common to fish, and it has boon remarked that those who worked tho brain most gene rally manifested a proclivity for fish diet or bram food. . Much has boon writton and praoticod on pisoioulturo, sinoo tho discovery of tho arti ficial incubation of fish ogg?. Tho habits of these prolific denizens of tho sea and frosh water have boen closely investigated, and tho art is now become ooo of national and individual importance. Malthus wrote and prodiotcd that tho oxubcranoe of man's production wonld, at somo future day, surpass tho poBsitrto supply of food. That autlier, in his* oaloulation disregarded tho unknown power, tho vost ooeao, whero naturo is collecting and reserving the seed of vitality, which is dpi!j... escaping from cultivated lands. At all events, Malthus' prediction of tho destiny of tho human raoo is stayed, for a timo, through tho aid of eoience, which shows itself adequate to tho situation, in tho aid of ua'turc, in tho pro duction of human food. Hot li Grcon, of Now York, is ono of tho pioneers in that brandt of praotioal soionco, and justly ho nored for his eminent services in tho art of increasing aud cheapening tho production of human food. It was our pleasure and satisfaction to seo within thc last month our distinguished friend, Professor Baird, tho eminent natu ralist, now United States Commissioner ol Fish and Fisheries. Wo loa'rnod from him that ho had introduced now and moro certain practice in tho art of artificial incu bation of fish. Instead of using the ordi nary water of running streams, which always contains moro or less sedimentary matter, which collected upon tho eggs and destroyed their vitality, ho uow substitutes puro or filtered water. Tho oggs or spawn aro placed in suitable constructions, whioh oro immersed in puro water, depending upon steam powor to give agitation and aeration, thu:: vivifying and saving from destruction a larger proportion ol' tho oggs than by tho older method, whioh was a vast improvement upon nature. Professor Baird had brought tho Cali fornia salmon, and is introducing them into our rivers whioh empty into tho Atlantto, That fish, Professor B. informs us, is inde pendent of tho tomporaturo of tho water, whereas thc salmon whioh comos from thc rivers of Maine will not'live in Southern rivers. Wc 3aw a lino speoimon of salmon takon from tho Dolowaro Bivor. Tho fish was prescrvod in alcohol, and eggs also to show that it was producing. Ito had also a eh nd taken from tho Ohio,. where previous to ortificial production and plant ing, no shad wore known. Tho oarp, from the Danube, a suporior odiblo fish, is now being proorcoted, and is, or soon will bo, distributed to our different rivers suitable for its pcrtnanontoxlstonce; always provided that laws bo instituted and unforced to pro vent privato cupidity from extinguishing tho run and breed. Tho Savannah ia claimed by tho Stato of Georgia to low water mark noarly on tho Carolina side; but tho Savr.nnah is under tho jurisdiction of tho United States, and cannot bo turned or obstructed in tho course of its waters, and is a natural highway for fish. Obstructions aro placed in thc river, at different points, by gill nets, whiol stop tho run of fish, whioh, by Providonco belong to tho Seneca and other tributario; of tho Savannah, whioh tributaries rur through and belong to tho Stato of Soutl Carolina, and would appear that all ob struottons preventing fish ascending art contrary to natural law and should b< abated as abuses and nuisances.

Anderson for position in a warm climate, denominated tho applicant as a special case. Tho Washing ton Post compiles a numbor of "speoial oases" in which individuals who perpetrated frauds, or aided and abottod in their accom plishment, have boon rewarded with office undor tho present administration. Our contemporary ovidoutly believes, from tho irony of his closing paragraph, that Mr. l?o ves had a guility knowledge of tho frauds and tho poisons engaged in thom, but wo respectfully submit that it is another in stall?e where "wicked associates" bring a mian into trouble AU of thcso "epe?tal oases" aro duo to tho in flue ooo of John Sherman and Stanley Matthews, who havo boon tho go botweons in this nefarious busi ness: I Mr. Noyes, who divided tho ri wp g among tho Florida thieves, was mado Ministor to Fronoo. Mr. Stoughton, who "conferred" with Anderson and other ^Louisiana culprits, was made Minister to Russia. Mr. Kaisen, who was one of tho visiting statesmen, and helped steal tho Florida vote, was mado Minister to Austria. Mr. MoLin, who confesses that ho helped steal tho Florida vote, WOB mado Chief Jus tice of Now Mexico. Mr. Dennis, who oonfessos to the frauds that mado it possible for MoLin to stool tho Florida voto, was appointed, on tho special rcquost of Hayes, which was "written with a bluo penoil," a special treasury agont Govornor Stearns, who hold tho fort : while Cowgil and MoLin stole tho Florida vote, was mado ouo of tho Hot Springs Commissioners. Mr. Cowgill, who completed tho theft of > tho Florida totes, waa mado United States ' Marshal. Thus Noyes, Knsson, MoLin, Donuts, Stearns and Cowgill, through and by whom , tho four votes of Florida wero stolon front President Tilden, havo all boon recognized by Mr. Hayes as "spooial oases," and re warded accordingly. Wm. Pitt Kellogg, for holping steal tho vote of Louisiana by bracing up the re turning board and suoh supervisors as An derson, rcoeived a seat in tho Senate, to whioh ho had no title, through tho singlo voto of Stanley Matthews, the friond and representative of Mr. Hayes. S. ?. Packard, who helped Kellogg steal tho Louisiana vote, received tho biggest oonBulato in Europe. Goorgo L.

Madison W?lls, who was ono of tho thieves whom Kollogg braced up, was given tho office of Surveyor of tho Port. Tom Anderson, who was another return ing board thief, was kept in offioe os noting collector, even after hts conviotion of forgery and thoft. This was a very spooial oase. Casanavo, tho third voluming board thief, was mado naval officer.

A scoro of clerks, supervisors, constables, and others who helpod forgo or covqr up others' forgeries havo all been, provided for, but thcso wo have ooumorotod woro "spooial oases." Still wo havo no doubt that Mr. Hayos was perfootly innocent, and that thcso appointments woro all accident?, i ?.- - Tho Clinrlcstou Jetties* Tho report of Gon. Gilmore, submitting lus projeot for tho pormanont improvement of tho channel into Charleston harbor, has been printed, together with tho favorable report of Gon. Humphreys. It is an ox? ooodingly long dooumont, oovoring a minuto account of rho soundings nnd borings of tho harbor, abd of tho com position' and eharaotor of tho proposed jetties'. Thosb details ATO of* littlb interest to thc gonoval publie, who aro mainly donoernod in knowing exactly what is proposed to' bo dono 'and what is i oxpootod to bo aooptnnlishod. With tho roport is a map of Ch arl cobo harbor show ing tho lino of tho iotondod improvements. Tho roport givos a full description pf Charleston bar and tho various onnniicls, provious Hurvoys, variations, depths, Widths' and measurements of tho ohannols, also the material oomposing tho nurfnoo and bolow. lt says that it is a drift and wavo bar, pro* du cod by tho notion of tho waves and in part by drift material oarried along by aarfaoo ourronts, and gives tho results of borings and experiments. Tho plan is to construct two jottios, ono springing from Morris Inland and the other from Sullivan's Island, con verging towards each other in suoh manner that their outer ends, on tho orest of tho bar, shall bo half a mile opart. Tho outer ends of the two jetties will rest respectively upon tho shoals lying to tho Northward and Southward of tho North channel, that being tho middlo of tho North group of thrco channels. Tho North jetty, near tho shore, is curved to a radius ot one and a half miles} tli? outer half is nearly a straight Uno. Tho length of this jetty is 7,450 feet, direction Southeast. Tho South jetty is 11,650 feet long. Tho shore end is ourved to a radius of thrco voile? for about half its length. Tho half noxt to tho sea is nearly straight. Tho object is to maintain tho bar in its present goncral location. Gen. Humphreys sajs: "I concur in tho vlows of tho board that tho channel over tho bar con bo improved to a probable depth of twenty-ono feet ot moan low wator by1 tho uso of jottios submerged in whole or in. part, and by a modo of construction very gradual in its progress, which will admit of suoh modification in tho length and height of tho jottios as experience will diotatc. I further concur that tho projoot adopted should, to tho least possiblo degree, disturb tho present regimen of influx aud efflux ovor tho bar." The estimated coBt of tho work was $1,800,000, but Gen. Qillmoro has ascer tained that atone and other material can bo obtained at a lower cost than was expected, and he has reduced the estimate to 81,800,? 000. Oae fourth of this sum will oonblo tho work to hovo o fair start, and tho 8200, 000 appropriated by tho Scnato committee, although less than was asked for, will lay the fouudatious of one of tho jetties, and ensure tho ultimate completion of tho work. Too muoh praise oannot bo givon to Gen. Qillmoro aud his offiocrs for tho thorough ness and luoidity of. his report, whioh ha? put tho project in suoh ? shape ns to com mand tho approval of tho ohief of engin ecru BQd of tho Scnato committee on commerce.
