Editors Keowee Courier: Many thoro aro who hnvo ours to hoar, but it is impossible to roach their understanding through moro sound, nnd in order to convinco thom that this is so wo must givo to thom ocular demonstration that tboy moy see and boliove. Wo might spend woeks and months in talk and uso printer's ink by tho jug full, yot onn they not believe that thoro aro advantages or profit in fencing their stock? Tho opposition aro in tho majority and must ia somo way bo porsuaded that they aro on the wrong track or tee, tho minority, will, year aftor, bo loroo ably rominded that tho ovil romains in slalu quo. Argumont and persuasion having thus far failed to convince, there still remains another moans of relief which if pursued with onergy will in timo result in our advantago and bring "ordor out of chaos." Allow mo to suggest that wo "tako timo by tho forelock" and prepare for the chango wo desire to firing about and which wo beiicvo will sooner or later como to pass. I am of tho opinion that "A mau convinced against his will Is of tho samo opinion still," and should bo allowed to pursue his winding way undisturbed, until, in tho courso of events, ho learns that publio opinion has slightly changed, and we, having become a power in tho land, aro fully porsuaded That as of old tho majority Should still control tho minority. Having wrought tho dosirod chango ii publio sentiment they-tho minority-will b roquirod to "fall in," and thus a stride in th advanoomont of progressive husbandry will havo boen accomplished. Wo aro in favor of fencing stock becauso wc oan get as much milk, &o., from two cows under tho soiling systom as can bo got from aix cows that roam tho woods socking what thoy may devour. Two good cows, onoh of which should bo milked ton months of tho yoor, would, if proporly managed, (so as to hnvo ono frosh in spring and tho other in fall, in addition to supplying tho family with milk butter and choose of various kinds, leavo surplus, which, if sold, would go a groat way towarde supplying tho family with toa, ooffoo sugar, &C, wliilc tho manure that would accu mulate would more than pay for tho labor of raising, soiling orops, &o. Hut to ''return to our foddor." Lot cooli and ovory ono proparo a "patch" by putting upon it all tho manure ho cnn "roko and 8crapo." Spread it ovonly, then plow; plow doop and harrow. If you havo no harrow you aro behind tho ago powerful, and should borrow, not tho harrow, but tho cash, to buy ono, as you will nood it frequently, and ean not afford to wait until half a do/.en noighbors (who havo applied for tho loan of it) got through. A thorough harrowing of tho land, aftor plowing, will increase any orop at Joust ono dollar per aero. Try it. Aftor having plowod and harrowod tho roughly, givo it a good doop cross plowing, and on one-third of tho patch sow ryo; on another third sow oats-nt loaet two bushels por aoro-thon harrow in tho ryo and oats, and give tho remaining third a thorough harrowing alee, whoa it will bo in a good condition to reooivo not loss than two pounds of tnrnip sood to tho aoro, which may bo lightly harrowod or brushed in. Tho turnips will be food for man and boast, and oan bo taken up as uooded during fall and wintor. Tho ryo nod oats, if sown by tho first of Soptombor, can bo out onoo boforo Christmas and again in spring until sngo and Other grasses como to our rescue. Corn, sown thickly in drills ns oarly in spring ns possible, aud later for a succession, will Buooeod tho grasses and carry us on till frost." Turnips, if sown in August or oarly i?op tomK.Avwill do protty woll, but to got tim boat results from tboso sown in tho spring thoy should bo sown in drills and cultivated. Five hundred bushols of turnips will pay any ono for tho labor and oxponso. With good soil aud propor cultivation ono thousand bushels por noro nood not astonish you, as ono thousand live hundred bushols have been grown upon a singlo nero. If sown in drills it may bo dono by hand through a guano buglo. Much more might bo said upon tho advan tages nnd profit of tho soil system, but for tho present I forboar, hoping those who belicvo titat a chango in tho fenoo law will bo benefi cial to tho wholo pcoplo of Oconco, will stop forward, join hands aud provo thoir faith by their works.

Tho Grund Jury of tho Uuitcd States Court, at Greenville, in their presentment, say; Tho onforocoioot of tho rovenuo laws is a matter of groat and spooial iraportanco to tho people of this section of country. Wo ure fully satisfied that their violation ie con fined to a narrow strip of country through tho mountains, and tho sentiment of tho great body of tho pooplo ia strongly averse to tho violations of theso laws, and that a failure upon their part to afford active co operation in tho vigorous enforcement of j theso laws is chiefly ascribable to tho mis conduct of some of tho subordinato officers, who have been charged with tho dolioato duty of making arrests and seizures. ?Some of theso have boen discharged, and wo aro informed that others will be; but wo desire to say that tho ma re hal and collector can not bo too careful in sclcoting mon for these important duties, and should watch their conduct as much as possible; for of all tho officers theso aro tho ones who como most directly in contact with tho people, and by thom und their couduot tho coarse and polioy of tho government towards its citi zens is judgod. Wo desire, in this connection, to express our hearty approval aud commendation of tho wiso und bonefioout policy adopted by tho government towards this olass of tho violators of its laws. Wo trust that gralitudo and honor, as well as a proper regard for thoir own iutor Cits and tho wclfaro of their families, will causo these men not only to abstaiu them selves, in tho future, from all participation iu violation of theso laws, but to exert themselves actively to persuado and, if necessary, to compel nil ottlers to do so. Tho sympathies of a great many good oiti zens, who would not themselves violate tho law, have been enlisted on behalf of thoir unfortunate neighbors, on acoouut of tho hardships they havo sufferod, whether justly, ( or not. But, iu our opinion, tho magnani mous courso of tho government should, and wo boliovo will, havo tho immediate effect of determining all good oitizons aotively to aid tho Government iu suppressing all vio lations of this law, aud will tend to promote that spirit of obedioncc to law without which no community or 'neighborhood oau bo peaceful, prosperous and happy. Wo havo heard with plousuro \hat the commissioner of internal rovenuo has sent a spooial and reliable agent to go through tho rovenuo section of theso uppor countios to explain tho law to theso people and encour age thom to cngago legally in tho business. Tho peoplo iu tho main who hsvo engaged in tho business illicitly aro ignorant and poor. They have not the means of trans porting thoir little surplus of orops to market to realizo oven enough moooy to pay thoir taxes. To distill it, is not only profitable nud affords a bottor markot, but oonvorts it into a moro portablo form, nnd thosu con stituted a great temptation to illioit business. When it is oxplainod to thom that they oan distill legally without inourriug au oxponso beyond their moans, wo havo no doubt that legal distilleries onough will ho established to roraovo this temptation, and the govern ment will get its rovenuo. In concluding tho work of tho torra wo dosiro to return our thanks to your Honor for your uniform courtesy to us, and wo feel that it is just cause of congratulation to tho country that you sit boro to administer jus tico in morey, regarding nliko tho right of tho government aud tho liberty of tho oiti zons; and wo sinoorely trust that tho effcot of this terra may lesson your labors in tho futuro, at least so far as tho internal revenue work is oonoernod. Wo are especially indebted to tho Distriot Attorney for his unremitting attention and officient assistance to us in tho discharge of our duties, as well as for his courtesy and urbanity, and also for his high logol ability in preparing and dispatching the business of this court in as economical a-way as pos siblo. Profano swearing. There aro somo sins so common, that by tho multitude they cense to bo regarded as sins. In this catalogue may bo placed pro fane swearing. It consists in using tho naroo of tho Supromo Boing in an irrever ent manner. lu tho third commandment, it is oallcd "toking tho name of tho Lord thy God in vain." By tho word "numo," as used in this commandment, wo aro to understand nil tho titles and ovorything olso by whioh God makes himsolf known. Pro fano swearing does not consist in saying something against God. This is blasphemy. All that is necessary, in order to constitute an individual a profano swoarer, is for that individual to call God to witness trivial or ordinary doolaratious, whether afllrmativo or negativo; or to uso in common conversation, tho namo of God iu an irrovoront manner. In a moral point of viow, profano swear ing is declared by God to boa most heinous sin. This we infer, from the faot that in tho third commandment it is positively de clared that "tho Lord will not hold him guiltless that takoth his namo in vain." There aro multitudes of tho human family who look upon arson, larceny, adultory, fornication, drunkenness and lying os groat crimes; but never seem to- think that pro fano swearing is ns aggravAtod a sin, in tho sight of God, os any ono of those mon tionod. In tho most of sins thore is some oarnal ploiiBuro; but ho who takes tho name of God in vaia gota no reward. Ho inoensos hi? Makor and goto not oven a temporary reward from Satan.- Yarku ilk J'Jtujuircr. The Conflict of tko Courts. WASHINGTON?

Mr. Bristow will bo ohorgod with tho entiro management of tho caso on tho part of tho United States, and will bo given full au thority to select suob assistants os ho may require. Tho trial will begin in the carly part of September, boforc tho United States Cirouit Court, and Chief Justioo Waite will presido, with Judge Bond, of tho Cir ouit Court, and Judgo Bryan, of tho Dis trict Court, to assist bim. WASHINGTON, August ll.-Tho govern ment has nearly completed tho necessary arrangements for tho trial of tho revenue cases in South Carolina, at tho term of tho United States Cirouit Court to bo held in j carly Soptombor, at which Cbiof Justioc Waite and Judgo Bond will oooupy tho bonoh together. Tho Federal authorities boro aro impressed with tho importance of those oases and tho issues involvod and will have unusually strong counsel to con duot tho oases, and to maintain tho right of tho general government to enforce its laws in thc several States without tho interior onco of thc Stato authoritico. Ex-Score tory B. II. Bristow Iras been invited to tako charge ot tho cases in behalf of tho government, and has signified his readiness to do so. Ho will bc allowed to select such assistance ns he may desire, and tho probability is that other prominent lawyers will bo asked to tako part in tho cases, it is known hero that tho Stato authorities of South Carolina will comest to their utmost ability the position taken by tho F?deral Qovcrnmont, and maintain that tho States alone have jurisdiction of suoh cases as tho present ones. Eminent coun sel will bo omploycd to aid tho Attorney Goneral of tho State, and tho oases are regarded by leading lawyers as of tho most important that have arisen for years. It is expeotcd that tho oases will be carried up to tho Supremo Court of tho United States for final decision, no matter bow they imoy be decided, by tho Cirouit Court. MERE MENTION.

Tho prospeot for tho Egyptian ootton orop is excellent. It is now estimated that tho orop will yield 112,000,000 pounds. Thc wheat crop of tho country this season is almost unprecedented, both in amount and quality. Tho Domooratio Couvontion of tho Eighth Georgia District, hus renominated Alexander ll.
