* County. The case of'that county today w is, mutatis inatxim/is, tlio e u?c of the S'uto two years ago, and in oft.; liberul sense Pickens itself is to day well represented in the person of Lewis It. Redmond. Til K LADD K'LLINO, A (JAIN. I remarked in a previous letter that in . the affidavits uiado by nicmbcrs of his family, relative to the manner of Ladd's d atli, no denial was uiado of his alleged (it tempt to shoot Kane. As then surmised, nod as I have since learned to be the fact, tnis omission was owing to their iguorance of the charge having been made. 1 have since seen ana qucstioueu i^aaa s urotner, who denies most emphatically that Amos had a gun in his band at the time of his killing. There was a rifle in the house, lie says, which Auios had borrowed aud brought there that morning, but it was leaning against the wall near the door by wuieli Kane entered the house, and Amos was standing in the doorway opposite! OX 11 Kit 1X DISCIt KTIONS. I have confined my report of outrages heretofore to a statement of evidence ou tne subject given under oath. 1 deem this to he the wisest and most proper course, r.nd will nut deviate from it except in such esses as are not included in the grand jury's report, but which as 1 kuow can ho sanction by affidavits if necessary. The lirst of this class is an instance which occurred at the house of Mr. Yates, who lives two miles from the village of old Pickens. In his absence a revenue squad searched Ins premises auii outhouses, and tore up the floor of his dwelling in a frantic effort to find oncealed whiskey. They f und ouc jug full and emptied it on the ground, They cauic a second time, aud finding Mr. Yates at home arrested him.? They searched his house again and examined trunks and drawers as usual, hut went a little farther than usual by ordering a young unmarried lady who was siek in^jed to get up in order that they uiight examine it also. She declined to attempt even to obey their commands, for reasons of the most delicate nature, whereupon two or more of them lifted the mattress upon which she was lying, aud deposited it aud her upon the floor. A number of Federal soldiers, under command of Lieut. Miller, accompanied the squad that raided on Mr. Kelly's houso, (rcportod by the grand jury.) alier which exploit they returned to l'icktus Courthouse t.bout sundown, and Miller himself behaved most offensively to citizens on the street.? Kidim; ud to Mr. Child, a lawver rcsidim* U ^ 4 t t C lit the village, Mijler demanded his name. Mr. Chihl replied that he was not in the liahit of giving it to any and every man. and certainly not when it was asked for iu such manner. Miller agaiu demanded it with an oath, and a threat that he would take Mr. Child to jail if he refused to give it. Mr. Child indignantly dcGcd him, and the Lieutenant called a squud of his men to come aud arrest Child and take him to jail. They came forward for the purpose, hut Miller seeing a crowd collecting and that a collision was iuimiuct, countermanded the order. The next morning he sought Mr. Child and apologized for his conduct of the previous evening, on the ground that lie was ilruuk and didn't know what hr was doing ! Aud thereby hangs this t.iie, that these officers of the law the deputy marshals, are said to be, almost with I 1 i ?i ?i._? .1 uut i;auu|hiv.>U) iiuiu uuuauiiij iiuu iu;ib arc very frequently and strongly under the influence of liquor while on a raid.? This is purely matter of opinion, of course, on the part of those who charge it, and of hearsay w\tVi me \?Uo repeat it, but I am informed that the following statements in regard to this matter can readily bo proved. First, that they almost invariable carry whiskey with them on their raids, and have been seen, as at Kelly's, drinking it in liberal doses. Socoud, that they have been known repeatedly to drink all they captured iu bottles and jugs. Third, that they have been known to spare certain stills from destruction and their owners from arrest on condition of being supplied, gratis, for their own wants. I understand that #? !/ >)? An n rrjiMrr??jn/*n t w/m In *! ? f? .stance of one distiller, who runs a still on (Jlassy Mountain, two miles from l'ickcus C. II , and that notes and orders for whiskey, Kent by officers in town to him, were intercepted and read by citizens. Fourth, it is charged that the officers have been seen at illicit stills which were at the time, and are yet. in operation. Fifth, others again are alleged to huve bargained with the distillers net to molest them or make them afraid in consideration of a share of the profits. A notable instance of this kind occurred iu the case of Deputy Marshal Jarritt, recently discharged for this offence by Marshal Wallace. Jarritt's fee was ten dollars P'U* month, iu each case, and this sum he received from a number of moonshiners with whom ho had contracted. I do not know that lie received other Dunishmcnt for liis offence than a discharge from the service. Redmond, it will be remembered, declares that in ono instance when they had captured five barrels of whiskey from him they kept two for their own use, and this lie said can be proved. All this and much more to the same effect is matter of common report in Pickens and otber counties, and in view of the kcown truth of the charges in many cases, ^ is pot to he wondered at that the rcvcuuo sorvico' hp^been brought into contempt, and that its officers are loathed and resisted. C. McK. _*? Mrs. Laugtrey, a well known London beauty, in the midst of an ndmiring circle the other day asked hor husband to introduue to her a cortaiu gentleman. He did so. and the gentleman smil.d and bowed. Giving him her handkerchief, she said:? "I want you to wipe the paint from my face, as 1 hear that you say at tho clubs that I dm painted." r UNDER Tnp VIOLETS. I1Y OLIVER WBN'UCL UOI.MIS. $ Iter hands arc cold ; her face is white; No more her pulses couic and go ; Her eyes nre shut to life and light?

We believe that if farmers and fruit raisers knew the benefits arising from such management, they would at ouec adopt it. Last fall wo visited nu orchard in which fowls were kept, the owner of which told us that before the fowls were confined iu it, the trees made little or no growth, aud only. ? corresponding amount of lruit was obtained. Put what a change was evident now. Tha grass was kept down, the weeds killed and tho trees presented an appearance of thrift, which the most enthusiastic horticulturist could not but admire and envy. The growth of the trees was most vigorous, and tho foliage remarkably luxuriant. The fruit was abundant, of large size uud free from worms aud other imperfections. This excellence was accounted for by the proprietor. who remarked tlint the ''linns nta nil the worms and curculio in their reach, even the canker worm." Ho found less trouble with their roosting in trees than he expected, and that a picket fence six feet high kept them within bounds. His orchard was divided into throe sections, and the fowls were changed from one to another, as the condition of the fottiP&V's '"ichard section seemed to require.- The l'uultry World. Kff.P out ok Dkut.?Why will our tillers of the soil poraist iu the suicidal policy of making a single crop and running in ucbl, ''head over heels," for mcausto uiakc it With. A single crop of auy kiud, often fails?a diversity, rarely. More attcution should be given to the production of home supplies, upon the farm. The garden, especially, should receive liberal attention. The hog sty and poultry yard should not bo neglected. Improved breeds should gradually crowd out scrub stock, and the suiokc house aud egg basket will record the increased gain with unCi'rtng eju^tness. The habit of getting in debt is uot^nu economical one. No farmer can afford to pay the enormous interest exacted, mid no merchant can afford to "advance" without demanding it. Iudccd, in too many cases, the merchant is the greater sufferer, for if, from any cause, successive crops prove a failure, ho suffers irretrievable ruin, as the farmer cannot pay for what the merchant lias pledged his credit to furnish. A little ssell'-douial for a year or two?li little more attention to littlo things the desired object is accomplished. Outtff debt, is out of trouble. Tho crop when raised, is then the property of the producer, who sells it when the price suits his views and makes his merchant liappy by paying cash on the sjiot for every thing he orders.? Our Home Journal. A Farmer's Scrap Hook Should bo kept on every well regulated farm. Thero are thousands of recipes for the enrfng of sick nniuinls which may be of g^at yaUw if referred to at the DroDer'^ft#?^ wiSwM hints, regarding special crops, uiay be forgotten, unless preserved in this manner, convenient for reference. Plans for farm buildings or their interior arrangement may be preserved until wanted. Gates, fenccB, ditches and the thousand of other things which make up the tout ensemble of the farm, require frequent repairs or entire reconstruction, and the hints and helps which may be afforded, if#the scrap book Las been well kept, arc of immense value. We base our assertions on the supposition that tho farmer reads. If he docs noL why our remarks do not apply to him or td those of his class wl?o do not believe the! can be taught anything.

Making Our Own Breadstuffs.-?-A correspondent of the Columbia licgtitcr writing froui Grccovillc, makes the following encouraging statement : "Wo have heard a great deal of growt. iag about bard times, but sinco our (rip up Jfiftr* wo -don't bclicvo they arc so bad as ( mwgeople would make out?at least in of tha State. My mind \v:.s cHanged by the fuct that a year ago all the IflMrand bacon sold in this city wero pur* West.

Wo welc informed by a prominent merchant that no corn is brought here from the West now, and that it cuu be purchased fruui wagons on the streets at lifty cents a bushel. Home raised bacon is sold on the streets here at very low prices. Largo quantities of it are brought to town and sold in the wiuter and spring by farmers of the surrounding couutry, and a big hole is thereby made in the pockets of the Western speculators who have so long fattened on our hard earnings. If the fact of our farmers l ?i i r? i MJUIUll'Ulr t'UiU illiu UilUUN 1U1' IK'IUC e*^^j)ption nud having a large surplus to dispose of to our uicrchnuts is not positive evidence of returning prosperity and happier days not far ahead of us, why?thou wc don't kuo\r what prosperity is." o Noxious Weeds.?In some of the Northern States of the ltcpublic, a law, for the suppression of noxious weeds, has recently boeu#cnacted and. wc hope, will be rigidly enforced. Owners of real cst;.tc aro compelled to destroy all such growth on their lands and adjoining roadsides.?
