Court Proceedings* Court at Walhalla adjourned Saturday evening between 8vo and six o'clock, all tho bubincFs roady for trial having been disposed of. A number of long and important cusca wore continued by reason of the cxousnblo abecoc? of witnesses or tho court would havo lasted a week longer. Hut of nil tho crimi nal casos only tinco went to a jury, tho reoult in each being a verdict of guilty. In tho caso of homicide tho dofondant WUK permitted to plead guilty of manslaugh ter, tho ovidenco not warranting a di?eront verdict. Tho following aro tho scntdncos im posed: Daniel Maxwell, stealing from tho person Und grand larceny, three yours in the peni, tontinry. Elias Adams, burglary, threo years in tho Penitentiary. Wilson Glenn, grand larceny, one yoar in tho penitentiary. All tho above partios put i ri a pion of ?uilty. Isaac Reid, manfluughfor, five years in tho p?nitontiary. John Norris, carrying concealed weapons, plead guilty and was sentenced to pay ti duo of twenty five dollars. Wm. Stewart and Martha Young, found guilty of living in udullory, fled tho country and a ecnlcd sentence was left. II. A. II. Gibson, Jr., found guilty of forgery, also left tho country and a scaled sentence wits loft in his CUBO. In nn economic point of viow tho criminal court was a success for ono time. The entire expenses of tim term, as reported to us, amounted to $532, while thorn wits realized from fines and bonds paid up $1,025, ns follows: Two hundred dollars fino from N. Duon and E Shod. Twenty fivo dullnrs fino from John Norris. Eight hundred dollars from tho bond of II. A. II. Gibson, Jr., paid by his luther to euvo thc sureties. Tho bond of Wm. Stewart and Martha Young is for six hundred dollars, and unless they bo lodged in jail beforo tho next term of court, it will bo ostroutcd also. Tho civil business was of no great impor tance, though n number of cases wcro dis posed of The entire work pa?sod off pleas? nntly and both tho Judgo and Solicitor won tho good opinion of thoso in aticndanco on court. Tho number in attendance on court was smaller than usual, a suro indication that our farmers aro busy at work. Dormant Music* There is a great (leal of lal ont talent tor niusio lying dormant around us, which only needs proper direction and development to become un important clement in our social culture, und public also for that. It is a common remark that wo have enough mo tcriul ot hand to supply till reasonable de mand* of a cultivated taste, both in society and tho church. Hut alas, how often ore we forced to regret that nature han been left too much to hor oclf and scionco und art almost totally neglected in thc cduoatiou of thoso whoso talents might havo rendered them a delight ful acquisition lo their generation*. Wc do not approve of tho fashion of forcing every young lady that attends school to give up a largo part of her time to tho drudgery of strumming excruciating dis oords upon a tin pun, complimented with tho Bomo pinno-forte. Hut wc believe it to bo tho religious duty of every ono who oan learn to piny or sing dcocntly to culti vate his car and voice, so as toreador home (ho most attractive place on earth to young and old and tho church a pince where wo moy enjoy a foretaste of thoso heavenly strains in which wc hope to take part here after. To effect this end cultivation is needed. Every sohool 'should have vocal musio os a part of its daily exorcise and study, and when tho young shall bo prop erly taught wo shall havo less of tho tor turing sounds which so often spoil religious worship. But wo started this oriiolo to express our delight at thc performances of tho young ladies who so kindly furnished tho music last Friday ovoning nt tho celebration of tho Piedmont Society.

OAKWAY, March 20th, l88i. Messrs. Editors: Fooling eooQd?of that wo would bc benefited by thc change, I think tlint now is tho time for us to give up using imported fertilizers and return to ?.lie old style of making eur guano ut home; for tho lutter, from my own experience within tho past threo yours, fully convinocs mc that it pays best nnd is ohcapest, and to convinco you of this fact, I givo below a statement of what I have done in thc timo above mentioned. lo 1880 I made my own manure without using a ceut's worth of acid or anything else I mudo more ihuu enough to manure well eleven acres of cotton and this oleven acres produocd forty four hundred pounds of lint cotton, which is equal to eight bales of cotton weighing over five hundred pounds, or eleven weigh ing 400 pounds cool). In 1881 I manured tho samo ground wit!) my own make of manure, but owing to thc dry season I did not moko but 2,000 pounds of lint cotton. Otic of my neigh bors used fertilizers to show mc that guano paid better than home made mu nu re, but at tho end of ouch year, after expenses of gu ouo had been paid, I had twioc ns much cotton os bc did loft. To refuto tho idea that it costs so much moro to put homo made muuuro in thc ground than it does guano, I made an ex periment, on thc eleven acres above men tioned. Tho cxpcusc3 of tho whole, for making and putting iu tho ground did not ex cccd twenty dollars, and al! this without one cent's outlay of notual cash. Now is tho time to make manure foi 1883. Farmers generally put off rankine their manure till fall which is entirely tor late. I believe with eight or ten bend Ol stock I can tua kc enough ma n u rc to enrich thirty acres every your. A. B.

A largo mid appreciative atidtenoO was pvc?ciit Friday uiglit io hoar (lie speakers who had been selected (o represent (bo Piedmont, Soolcty of Adgcr College in this their ti fi li anniversary. Tho Lutheran Church was well filled and tho young men, ?penkers, marshals mid students, (vere encournged to do (heir beat by tho luvcly fucos and sparkling eyes of tho young Indies who graced (ho occasion by their presence. Throughout tho cnllra exercises tho best of order WIIB preserved. 'Tho audience .carefully refrained from npplnuding thc speakers, as this lind been requested by tho memhers of Ihc church who lind so kindly offered tho use of their building for (ho evening. There wna not even "tho busy whisper circling round" to dc trncl ntlcntion from tho rostrum. Tho President, J. I. Hollingsworth, ofter n few remarks relmivo lo tho advmitugcs to bo derived from a lilernry socioty in coiinectiou with Hie college, nunounced thc subject of de bate: "Ought enpitn' punishment lo bo nbo lishcd?" Affirmative-lt. P. Lcuhnrdt. Nega tive-Jumes O. Lewis. Mr, Lcnhnrdl, nftcr stating* the object of government, showed that governments oro authorized to punish tho offender for the sole purpose of preventing a reciirrcnco ol the offence, not for the purpose of r?tribution, ne this would bo invading Mic province of tho Crentor. Thc speaker (lien referred to tho divine commnnd, "Whoso sh edd cl h innn's blood, by man shall his blood ho shed," bul from thc omission of the words "by mnn" in ihc Septu nginl version lilia may bo regarded ns tho language not of commnnd, but of prophecy. It is wrong to inflict enpitnl punishment, be cause wo ennnot draw thc line of demarcation between sanity ami insanity-in short, beoiiuso wo ennnot determino with nbsoluto certainty whether IliiB punishment is deserved or not. Milder punishments would not ns ti suflicient deterrent of crime, ns is shown by the records of those Sintcs willoh have abolished thc death sentence. Several countries were referred lo, bul we will only instance Michigan, in which there have been fewer murder? committed in eight years than were committed in New Voil; eily in one year. Mr Lewis in reply nrgucd (Imf the tibolllion of capital punishment would destroy every safe guard of civilization, mid I hat apart fruin this Hie divine injunction wns imperative. The i it flict?mi of the death penally for murder, dread ful ns thc penalty is. meets the approbation of Ihc public conscience, und (hero is no oilier punishment so lil and entirely commensurate (rilli litis crime.

At the conclusion of (he debr.te the President introduced as the orator ol' the evening Mr. 1 it I i en IC, Legate. Subject, "Mimi in matter." The speaker directed our attention lo the won? leis of nature ns exhibited in (he heavens, diowing that all ihc universe, thc emili, the fun ind von distant orbs, whose radiant li.s illoviftie Inn darkness ol' night, were nil subject lo law, and therefore thc product of omniscient , intelligence, with willoh doctrine thc immensity, rnru-iy and perfection of uni uro were in general harmony. No sounds come to us from thc shoreless ocean of heaven, Ihc music of Ihc spheres is not transmitted across the trackless regions of space, but wc can gaze with wonder und admiration upon the grandeur and sublimity af the glittering worlds which bedeck (he cerulean vault convinced thal these brilliant gems were not oreti!td to throw a tide of useless ?rd? odor over the solitudes of immensity, hui th lit I hay pollit In One 1 Who laugh) those orbs to move, Who lil their celeslinl lires, Who guides thc moon to rou In silence through the skies, Who hills thal dawning sun In slr en g I li and beamy rive."
