I more real intrinsic value in money thau iu ! chips. You can mako a fire and cook a ( ^ meal's victuals with a basket of ohips, but ? W could not with a basket of monoy. Hcnco, < the chips, or anything that the God of ua- ' turo has made a commodity, has intrinsic [ valuo in it, but money has not. Couse- t qucntly, money, truly speaking, doos not t bear interest. No man borrows money for ] the use aud real benefit of the money.itselfj he borrows it to obtain the use and jj benefit of something else?some of nature's ^ commodities?that he can enjoy in eating, \ drinking, wearing and having pleasure.? t Let me illustrato: Suppose you borrow 1 one dollar to purohose a bushel of corn for' ? bread j you will pay an interest?for what? t is it for the sake of the money ? Never.? 5 It is for the sako of the bread. Well, then, i it is the corn that bears the interest, and it is the hire of the corn that you pay for, not the hire of the money. You do not want ' the money ; you cannot eat it as bread; consequently the great difference between a natural commodity and one that is artificial, is made bj the force of law. As it requires law to make money a matter of convenience to a commercial and agricultural people, an artificial ozchange with an artificial value, I think it should take law to prevent the ' abuse of it as such. Because inoucy is power in any country, and only a small frac... ' ? tion of tho population are capitalists. But the balunce in their industrial enterprises by the power of their money, if not rc- ] strained by law, which fully corroborates with tho great principal that underlies all good governments, viz : that all power invested iu man must have a healthy check put upon it by law; and it has always .been necessary to legislate in order to keep the greater power from oppressing and usurping all power, as when the capitalist demands a high rate of interest ho is making himself < richer at tho sacrifice of the poorer, and at j the sacrifice of the enterprise aud industrial ; pursuits ot mo country. . Let uic ask how ' uiauy active, enterprising men of our State, ' that would engage iu tbe useful pursuits of ^ the land, develop the various rtsourcos of i the country, give employment to the people < that are now idle, which would feed,their ' families and make them comfortable, if ] money could be obtained at a reasonable rate of interest? But the rate of intorest is bo high that tho enterprising men of our land arc tied stock-still, and all industrial pur- ' If? suits aro at a stand-still comparatively.? , IIow can any man engage in an enterprise , that will not yield more than the interest of .1 the money invested ? and those who attempt < it aro compcllod to employ labor at to'low * a rate that it amounts to oppression upotf that class of the population, and that i^ a very ';\ large class in our country. And all that'. .1 oppression and hardship upon that class is '' to put more money in the pockets of tbe j capitalist than is just aud right, making the ( rich richer and the poor poorer. J Again, tho mercantile business is largely^ /Carried on with a borbwed ospital at a very ,liftgh rate of interest. Woll, who pays that ') interest ? Not the merohunt, but the con- ^ sumers of the goods?the laboring * class1}' 1 and, Mr. Editor, as the queKioueffccts all ^ classes of the people, certafnlyrthen, it is ( IV nr ...? ?i -?- A* J" f T - - if J ? v> lasn iui|iui buuvt', nuu tiuuuia on won ana , theroagbly ventilated by every body; and, i as the bill ia laid over t<rtho next session of the Legislator/,! hope the people^PW #ake up to the importance of tho bill^Si* our Representatives may know how to oarry out tho interest of their constituents, and make A stronuous effort to that end. As a olear proof that the bill is in tho interest of the 0 masses of the people, is, that the capitalists of the city of Charleston, looking to tboir own interest, sent up a commission to the Legislature in order to defeat tho bill, and did effect a postponement of tho bill, and are rejoiolng in tho belief that it is dead. Now, it behooves us as nn industrial class to bo able to put tho bill through at the next session, therefore T hope all will go to work to that end.?L.

Lucerne (Mcilicago saliva.)?This plant is the same as the California alfalfa, and has often been mentioned as a soiling crop. Its nutritive qualities stand very high, and whero it thrives may be cut three times in a season. This crop has a great reputation among the Germans and French. It was sta.tcd that the mowers at the French Exposition-^org tested in cutting a Crop of lucerne, otyjtbe &fd of two and a half feet high, and.that lh.e same machines had another contest on the same field, in cutting -> o ft new crop, quite as large, on the 26th of July.

Evils of Deep Plowing.?One of the most successful farmers gives us the following record of an experiment at deep plowing : When a boy upon the farm, his first cf-, fort with the plow, was on the hill side, a yellow sandy gravelly knoll, but with considerable admixture of clay. The plow raa too deep, aud after trying in vaiu to adjust it, be left the team to drag it through at a depth of fiftccu inches. It was perfectly dry and mellowed up like au ash heap. It was planted.in corn but yielded next to nothing. Having once plowed it deep it was tried again tho next year at the same depth, but with about the same result?no crop. The uext experiment was to seed it down. There was a fair catch.? For several years it was kept iu pasture, but yielded no better feed than the remainder of tho hill,which had not bccu plowed. It was uow turned down again as deep as before, but there was a change. The land had been revolutionized. It now yielded excellent crops, as good as any land on the farm. Whethor in grass or grain, tho growth was early and strong. Tho drouth did not affect it. That was twenty years since, and-though it has never had a load of manure, tho improvement still remains. It has lech seeded down with clover and plaster, and grows as rank clover- as it is possible to grow. The trouble with those who complain that deep plowing does not improve their lands, is, that they judge by its effects th# first year. The mistake made by our friimd flugittrboy bViffleen repeated Ly.C!'.*te^K^S whoought to have known hotter. He uJewed too doop at first. Had he plowed six inches aud subsoilcd four uiorc the first year, then increased the depth two or three inches, ho would have had a gradual unbroken improvement of his soil, instead of having to wait five or six years before he saw the good results. Most farmers have from four to ten inches of uucultivated soil, which by a gradual process they might bring up to cultivation. It is full ol plant food, the deposits of centuries, which ouly needs the warmth, and air and frost to make it available.? Cor. N. E. Homestead. IIog Cholera.?Mr. J. C. Hong, of Jasper county, says : Years ago I lost thousands of dollars' worth of hogs, but for the last six years L have not lost any, aud I have a remedy that I will warrant. I have tried it in thousands of eases, and ncvci had a failure. I am now eugaged iu buying lots ot bogs where cholora prevails; I bought two hundred and fifty recently aud found no trouble in curing them. My remedy is this : Make concentrated lyo into good soap by the isual rule ; take one pail of the soap tp fifty hogs j put it iu a kettle, add water and two pouuds of copperas, boil.it; then add dish-water nnd uiillc, or anything to inako it taate good, till you have about what the hogs will drink. Vlace enoggh of the mixture, while wa$ui, for twenty-ffPe hogs to drink, in troughs, ii> a separate lot. Just when ready to let the l\ogs in, scatter two pounds of soda in the troughs ; the object is to have it foaming as the hogs como to drink. Be sure that every hog drinks, nnd if he will not driuk, put him iu the hospital ; and if you cannot get him to drink, thon knock hiui iu the head, for ho will give the cholera to the rest. After twenty-five hnvc had all they will drink, let in twenty five Aiofe, cud continue till tli* wb-4a are treated.?

He next saw the prisoner come out, ::ct on his horse, and ride off. Jumcs Alexander testified that he was with the deceased during his last illness. lie had heard him say that the prisoner shot him, and that he did not wish him prosecuted for it. The prisoner's own story was that he was sixteen years old at the time of the killing, and that himself and the deceased had been fast friends, although the latter was several years the senior of the prisoner. They were riding together when the dispute arose as to the relative speed of their respective horses. The deceased struck the defendant.

The feature of the afternoon was Tec Brooch's against the best two mile time on record, prior to McWlnrtcr's time of yesterday. In the pools he was sold to beat 3.30A, the time made by McWhirter, The impression geuorally prevailed that Ten Broeck could not start quick enough to lower the record of McWhirtor's two miles, but he easily overthrew all such impressions. When he was brought upon the track he looked iu fine condition and was loudly applauded and admired Uy the crowd. The track had bccu especially prepared lor thia race, and he was very quick at the send off. St. Louis started with him, ard at the mile pole was relieved by Maypole, who took up the running, and oauie around the turn and Ujwu the stretch side and side with Ten Broeck, passing under the string iu the unprecedented time of 3.27}. The first quarter was made in 25}, second 55, third 1.18, first mile 1.-14}, fifth quarter 2.09}, sixth 2,35, seventh 3.01, twe miles 3.27}. As Ten Broeck came back tc the stand, he was received with grcrt cheering. Mr. Harper, Ten Brocck's owner, was loudly called for, au-l on making his appearance he was greeted with thunders ol applause that oontiuued for tcu minutes 01 more.
