We have received the doth Annual Report of the Hoard of Regents of the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum, for the fiscal year 1877-TH. From examination we should consider it a very satis* i factory exhibit of all the transactions of the officers of that institution. It appears from the interesting rcpur; of the Superintendent, Dr. i 11. (iriihn, that at the begiuuiug of the year there were 1!(M? pnti -tits in the institution ? Did males and 1 Id females, which was increased to ddl at the end of the year. Of these iMl) are whites and 1>1 colored. Only I'D of the inmates arc supported hy friends, leaving i?ll depending Hp->n the Sta'e !'>r alt necessary subsistence. Of i I 1 J , n ! the inmate , the .Superintendent states, only 10 \shitc males and 1 females, an 1 "? colored > in an 1 '? feui .lcs are curable ; 7 whites and 'i ' lucks doubtful : I1 ' wluic males aud li'J fcii.'.'ilt . > col ;i e I males ami l'J females, incurable.

'ThoFrcrfef t Ho Pudding is in Chewing tho 1 Slflg* Wo littr Trie remark inado very often, and maiuljr by merchant:;, factors or Fertilizer manufacturers, that there is as much money in making cotton ns there was when it was worth 10 ccutk&r pound. If thatjjj tho case give us the facts : What is condition of country now? Is it prosperous? Is it hopeful? l'ich up any village newspaper in the State and notice at what prico tho plantations were sold under (lie hammer, aud who wero the purchasers. In most instances the purchasers have been the merchants, who had been "running the farmer" until the cost would no longer pay them to do it. There is no use in sayiag the farms were badly mauaged, or that the farmer was obliged toltorrow money at ruinous interest, or pay nign price, tor ins supplies, iius uon i | alter the fact thai the farming interest is in a j bail way?that the finite of their iubor have gone into somebody else's pocket. It is a fact that nearly all persons who have farmed on a large scale have signally failed, and if a man van be pointed out now and then, who has succeeded, it only illustrates the old dogma ?"the exception proves the rule." (jraated, if a nian he out of debt?has money to command what ha jijeeds, has good laud, raises his^owu suppltt^Bitcnds to liis own business and practices proper economy,?he may succeed, but what wo are driving at is to prove that the forming condition of the country is in a hopeless condition, and things must go from bad to worse unless the farmers abandon liens and "payas they go." ? Fur tlio Times. The Fonco Law, Ac , in Goudoysville Township. .Mil. llniTon :?A little ripple has beeu caused in this township by the j nssage of the fence law." The opposition liola the late act of the Legislature as unconstitutional and declare that they will not pay any regard to it. The friends of the measure?and their uaiue is legion?are making all necessary arrangements to secure all the benefits to be derived front it. A lew days ago while passing through the neighborhood, 1 came upon two gentlemen who were cutting a few* "scrub oH field pines," oft" a piece of land that never coul l have been cultivated without the fence law, and supposing that they were friends of the law I hailed thorn with a hurrah for the Stock law, when to my utter astonishment they let loose upon the friends of the law i:i general and the members of the lower house of the Legislature in particular, in language the most vindictive that it was ever tuy misfortune to hear, 'litis tornado of abuse lasted only a few moments, when it was closed by the ridieu ions assert mu mat me act uau not passcu the Senate and never would. The cotton crop of last year is about all sold and at a very low price at that. Our people are iivided into three classes, to wit : 1st. An extremely few who have some money left after footing up bills. 'Jul. A few who have made "tongue and buckle 01 -3rd. The large majority who are worse off than they were twelve mouths ago. The question naturally arises, how or what arc you going to do this year? Well, from present appearances, we arc going to do just itke we have Lceu doing for six or eight years past?buy al' we can gel upon Liens, Mortgages, .vc., to make another big 7 or Sets, cotton crop. This may sound rather harsh to"ears to polite;" but it is a fact, that for the first four to six months of every year the cultivators of the soil are the ino-t -anguine of success of any class or profession to be met with. "Air castles" arise as thick as "Robins in the Thickcty roost," only to burst and disappear with the opening of "collecting season." Then begins the scramble? the aforesaid sanguine farmer discovering the fact that at at.y other point than where hr ha* hem aceonmo'latcd is the place lbr him to sell his cation and buy his supplies. Hence so many Sheriffs sales under Lien, &c., executions. Yours Truly, JOE. Legal Attonilants. The following gentlemen of tiio bar of other counties have been in town the past week, to meet Judge Wallace in Chambers, upon important cases; .V> wherry, James M. Baxter. Gcovgo Johnston, flco. S.

Since last Friday the weather has been more like Spring than Winter. Fires have been put out, overcoats and winter underclothing have been laid aside, and it requires but little cxcr. ciso to start the perspiration.

Frost may kill and a long wet Spring may rot out the seed already in the ground. Spring weather is "mighty unsartin." Tho Plague in Russia. The telegraph makes the sad announcement that the terrible plague whidt desolated the globe in the 1 1th century has again appeared in the Knstcrn part of Russia with virulence, causing intense alarm. In a short description the disease, which wo find in the Charleston Sew* iiii'l Courier, it says: "Person attacked with it are said t > lie like (lies, an 1 the ignorant and superstitious peasantry arc so terrific 1 by it that many are thought to have perished of pure fright."

"What are You Going to do about It!" Mr. Editor .?Have the farmers of our County noticed that the manufacturers of what are called "commercial fertilizers," have held a convention and agreed to advance tho price ot their compounds? It is oven so. 'J'bcy have dictated tho terms upon which they will deliver their lertilizers, and tho price they will allow for our cotton. It is a little singular that this movement should he made nta time when cotton has run down to such a point that many farmers are doubting the propriety of investing money in fertilizers at all. I have seen no farmer who does not admit that it is a losing business to ruou uuiiuu at {ircsuut juicus. ?Mvruiniuo uuu fertilizer men will tell you that there is as much money in farming as ever, because provisions and dry goods arc so very low. It will be found to bo a fallacious iuoa, when you cotne to analyze it. The wonderful improvements in machinery ami sharp competition have reduced the cost of different manufactured goods. The facilities of tranportation aad competition of diflorcnt Railroads have revolutionized trade, and the makcts of every nook and corner of the country are filled with the products of the soil and factory. Hut no corresponding improvement has been made, in cheapening the production of a bale of cotton. We pay higher taxes to State and County ; we pay very high for our labor, such as it is ; we P?* for money a runious interest, and high prices for all extra work on the farm. We pay higher blacksmith bill ; repairs of all kinds cost more; we have introduced no labor-saving implements, If we cultivate more laud to the mule, it is done at the expense of other work, or badly done, and we pay for fertilizers made at the North (mostly) that we know nothing about, more money per acre than our old time farmer was willing to give for an acre of land. Very few persons, when making their calculations as to what it costs to to produce a crop, put in all the items. they start out, as I lie land belongs to them and is paid ft r, as they have the horse, wagon, v\c., all their own, these items should not he put on the debtor siJe. Very few persons ever think of the amount they nre risking when they put on fertilizers. llut let mc get back to the fertilizer question There is only one way of accounting for this c.inbinatioii of the manufacturers, and that is that they think the farmer can't get along with out their assistance. Is this the case? It is time wc should know ' all the facts. Now i know how hard it is to gel the frecduiati to clear heavy woodland. I know how much easier it is to cultivate thin, pool land, and how much easier it is to haul out a few sacks of fertilizer and distribute it than to make and haul out barn-vard manure. But is it policy to give lip so, and confess that we can't live without paying Massachusetts, or New Jersey or Connecticut to make our fertilizers; without depending upon Illinois or Indiana for our corn and Hour, Ohio for our bacon, Chicago for our soap, Pennsylvania for our farming implements, and so on ? Are the farmers willing to submit to be dictated to by the fertilizer men or will they set up for themselves and do without, socner than submit ? I am gratified to sc? - a move Iras hecu made in (Seorgia and some ! parts of this State to assert their rights. Un I fortunately very little reliance, I am sorry u j say, can he placed 011 farmers' resolutions, bu I would be glad to sec them stand as linn ot this occasions as a STONEWALL. .?.
