miM For the Times. "Never Pat too many Eggs in one Basket " (JiiAttLtSTUN July 10, 1877. I have read with considerable interest tho accounts published lately in the Timks on the subject of the wheat crop. Dr. Fowler's exhibit is particularly interesting, it* ho enters into the dotails, and draws a striking comparison between the profit of growing wheat vt. cotton.? I should bo glad to believe tliut the magnificent wheat and oat crops of tho back country had brokon the farmer loose from his idol, aqd that a good lime was coining, if the people could only be persuaded that the reduction of the aoreage of ootlou woul^nxly Snores so its .value, and the increase in the acreago of cereals insuro his prosperity, by making him independent. thore would bo no lninrer il pp? of tines." While it is, to my mind, chcar that every farmer should come as near living upou the products of his own farm as possible, he -alono can bo the judgo of his interest. Every mau cannot grow big crops or wheat. A great 'deal depends upon tho soil, the seasons and the treatment; It is, perhaps, the most uncertain crop 1 grown, if rust striks it, be it ever so promising, 1 the failure is certain?andth ere is no security ' against rust, if the fly strikes it, it is fatal; while a 1 late frost, a bad spoil of weather when in bloom, ; or a storm, may blight the prospect. The redemption of Southern Agriculture depends up- : on the introduction of n mixed husbandry. All 1 along we have been carrying too many eggs in one basket. i have never met a man who will gainsay it. All acknowledge that the only way out of the desert is to diversify out industry?to grow our supplies, as near as possible, and look to cotton as tho money crop?the crop to pay outside expenses. Every man who lived upon a fnrfti ante bellum, kuows how smoothly nud easily lie got aloug wheu he raised his own hogs, '.lis own wheat and corn, and made his own butter; and 1 at the end of the year what n feeling of independence he enjoyed when he put ?is cotton money in his pocket, without u feat of oeing dunned or sued. Under the present system, where you buy every thing and make nothing but cotton, you are on a dead strain all the time?dunned on all sides, and dodging and begging off all the time. The farmer's life used to be called the most independent one, now it is a most humiliating one. You pay tribute to every one. From the time the seed is put in the ground until the bale is sold you are paying somebody. It is thn pi ponsc account that plays the mischief with sue- 1 oess. Most ef the ikilurcs in business spriug from the want of a proper appreciation of the sum total of all tlio little items which enter into the business. Mole hill become mountains before we are aware of it. * ' TBS FAST SCHEDULE. Charleston is alive just now on the Excursion question. Yesterday a large party of citizons joined the excursion to the Mountains. These are pleasant tliings^and should be encouraged. Sam Patch, you know, said he only jumped off the Falls to show that "some things could be done as well as ethers." The old fogies who have been running the trains on that old allnight and all-day schedule, for the same reason that the boy gave for carrying the pumpkin in one end of the bag and a rock in the other, may be brought to the knowledge that the back country is not quite ns fay,from the seaboard as it used to be ; and it May follow that with more rapid communication some other ideas of reform may enter their heads. CHA&LKSION LOS I Ml TRADE. Charleston is losing her trade rapidly?there is no doubt of that. The interior towns, with their rapid transit and cheaper transportation, earlier tolegraphic intelligence, will soon monopolize the trado. Not this only, but the cotton will soon take tbo same course. Money is cheaper in New York than in Charleston, aud if they want to handle the cotton they only have to offer the inducements. The old fashioned talk about patriotism is played out. People can't afford to puy for patriotic impulses. If a New York or Baltimore Factor cau luako advances to the planter on his crop at lower rates, his povorty will suggest the propriety of his taking it. Tho competition on tho various lines of Railroads has reduced freight on cotton, produce and inerchaudizo, between tho upper country and Baltimore, below the rato of transportation to and from Charleston. It is not difficult to predict the end. Of course Charleston merchants don't believe this?the Railroads don't believe trade can be draw* off from Charloaton. They say we'vo heard all this talk about Charleston trade falling off and railroad extortion for a long time, but still the traile r.nmec In IT-... long will it be so T the union cpuntt faiu. I am glad to see that preparations are already making for the County Fair. As a social institution merely these Pairs arc productive of great good. They bring together the farmers of the County, their wives and daughters. An interchange of opinions upon farm topics, domestic economy, something to wear aud how to wear it, and a thousand little things that round off our daily life. People go home with new notions in their heads, and many a girl has found out that she had something quite as pretty at home as one which took a prise. tit k ladiim at fairs. The success of all Fairs mainly depends upon the "Fair." Unless the ladies take an interest in it and enter into tho spirit of it, it is sure to e be a failure. "Stick a pin there." union and chsstrr railroad. And Union is in earnest about a railroad connection with Chester I , It was an unfortunate step wc made to connect with tho O. & C. R. R. It has been a source of annoyance and a tax on the County ab initio.? It would be a glorious deliverance if the County oould declare itself independent of that concern. NOUS VERRON8. - ? - - - ?

Editor :?As your paper is tho medium of cuuunuuication between its patrons ami tho public generally, uu 1 as its columns urc open to contributors, I have concluded to address you briefly in reference to one of the lending topics of tho day. So far as Iho farming iutcrost of South Carolina is couccrned, I know of no subject of so much importance connected therewith us the Fence or Stock Law ; which, by the way, will be put in an electoral fortn before the people soon. 'Pi L:.-? * i * - - -- inv Buujvci uos uveu in nays oi yore so lully discussed iu your paperjU^^he advantages of a dtock law, t hilt It WTJtirtTeeni difficult to ?ay any tiling more in its favor, and it is surprising to nic that atfy land ownct should ho opposed to the proposed change; but such is tho case, including some of our largest and most respected land holders. To this class of our fellow citizens I beg leave to make a few remarks: The whole matter is contuiucd in a nut-shell. I shall vote for the stock law, and if carried at the polls, will simply expect you tocontiucyour stock upon your own laud, and 1 pledge myself in good faith to do the same thing. Is there anything more in that than one neighbor has a right to expect and claim of his fellow citizens? Again, it will be one of the greatest labor-saving schemes, to the agriculture of our country, that can possibly be devised ; and I hope the people will remember, iu this connection, that the North, by whose example we should profit, has, for the last half century, been bringing its inventive genius to bear just at this point. Again, tho vast amount of valuable timber thus saved is beyond our computation?leaving out of the count the largo umounl of valuable land now rendered unprofitable by fence rows. The stock law once inaugurated would the means of reducing the number of neat cattle, I admit, Bay one-third or one-half; but it would increase their value one hundred per cent, in the aggregate, inasmuch as it would be to tho iutcresl of tho farmers to make a combined effort in the introduction of first class animals of all kinds. I forbear further argument with tho landholders, for tho prescut; but propose to say a few words to the less fortunate of my fellow-citizens?tho Undicss or tenants: To you, my friends, the subject is of vital importance, as the labor required to keep up the present expensive frnco system is expected at your hands. Instead of this, two pasturo fields ?ono for summer, tho other for winter? will constitute what is termed the entire fencing.? You will share in common in the improvement of the stock, and instead of its detracting from your interest in this particular, your employers will vie with each other in preparing such pastures, with other advantages and conveniences, as will be most attractive to those who work their lauds. The Stock law will be found one of the blessings that will enure to the whole people from Hampton, Home Hulo and Reform. t win ciose mis subject and say a few words about the contemplated. N A it IIO W OAUUK RAILROAD, from Chester to Union. I hare always been in favor of railroads, either as a matter of investment or convenience, or both, and the only difTercnco that can ohiain between you and I, Mr. Editor, is as to what point this railroad shall connect with the 8. U. and C. road. 1 shall contend that this point?Santuc?has claims that have not yet been made known to the public. In the first place, the people of this vicinity contributed &s large a per centage of their wealth to build the 8. & U. road asnuyothcrsectiononthcroad,secondly, our little village has had to struggle long and hard for an existence, and that, too, under most adverso circumstances, until now slio is capable of not only holding her own but is worthy to receive such an advantage. We have a large railroad depot, one steam Mill, three stores, one M. 1)., one studeut of Mcuidiuo, one blacksmith shop, several vegetable gnrd^ns, and last, though not least, Messrs P. & J. have starled a Brick Mill, and are grinding largely of valulable dirt into convenient form for building purposes ; but as to what kind of a structure is intended it doth not yet appear?some are of the opinion that it will be a large Hotel with store rooms, Itank office, &c., while others surmise that aTheologlcnl seminary may appear, or that it may end in a walled city. But, Mr. Editor, be that as it may, I propose that you and I meet at Mr. Win Savage's barbecue on the 27th and discuss tlio merits of his culinary accomplishments, and there, face to face hare a full interchange of sentiments upon both subjects. Yours, as ever STOCK LAW. ??? Mrs. Myra Clark Gains, after a struggle of forty years, has ut last had a judgment rendered in her favor, establishing her claim to a very large portion of the land upon which the City of New Orleans is built. Speaking of the decision, the New Orleans Picayune says : Believing that, in the happiness of her final victory, the generous elements of her character will lessen tho misfortunes of those who suffer by her success, we congratulate Mrs. Oaincs on at last reaching the goal of her life's struggle. Wonderful, indoed, must be her feelings this Sabbath morning, as she enjoys, for the first time since she learned of her parentage, a day free of anxiety. Fresh Turnip Seed.
