Yourcorrespondent hud for some time been contemplating a trip to the "hand of lite Sky" or some one of'lie numerous watering places, ami had actually started to Cleveland when he heard of Kooky River Spri iga These springs, while they enjoy only a local reputation, deserve, on account of beautiful scenery and the wonderful medicinal qualities of the diilerent v.aters to he known throughout the length and breadth of the land. They arc beautifully situated in Stanley County, about twenty miles North of Wadesboro, a station on the Carolina Central and Choraw and Salisbury Railroads. Over half a century ag i, before the lands of the I'ee Roe section had been properly drained, it was almost certain death for the planters and their families to remain at home duririL' the Summer mouths, hence the discovery ami settlement of Rocky River Springs. The springs and a large surrounding tract of land were preempted by several of the rich planters of the low country, tlie Wilherspoons, (iihsousand Williamscs. They erected substantial Sum tner residences and regularly the first of* June they moved to the spring', remaining until frost, when they would return to their homes in the malarial districts. This was kept up until the war so impoverished our people that it was a difficult matter to live even at home. The place was unfrequented uutil three years ago, when Mr Foreman, an energetic planter aud large landed proprietor, opened a hotel on a small scale for the ac? j commodation of a limited number of guests, lu 1870 the number of guests lor the previous years was doubled, and this season the register shows over one hundred arrivals on some days The springs are patronized by the elite of North Carolina ? Congressmen, Senators and Judges?who. with their families, wish to spend th t Summer quietly : ami to their physical advancement. The crowd is to a great extent very select, and yet extremely sociable. The different mineral waters are iron, magnesia, sulphur and arsenic, which last named. by the way, is \ monopolized by the ladies, who imagine, 110 <!oubt, that tlicy have found the spring of: youth which l'onee d.i Reon sought in vain. | They bathe in its waters .constantly, drink , it incessantly, and perhaps derives une ben- ( elit, but I would reeomtnend 'lotion's pre- i par.itioiis as being uiore speedy and effective. The hotel is admirably arranged, and the ttiniu will compare with Cleveland, Greenbrier or any other forty dollar amonth ! watering resort. I lie tab'e is abundantly supplied with spring chickens, varieties of poultry, eggs, mountain Jamb, vegetables, j tunt^iiitic*-1>t beef?a 1>?r?*ly sirloin of beef which would tempt the royal appetite of Queen Vi toria?butter, milk and honey in profusion ; i 11 short, a second promised land I minus the I'hiiistiues, &e., excellent cook cry, poiitc waiters, and all this, for only live dollars a week. Think ol this, ye misguided who patronize overcrowded resorts and pay over double for inferior lodging ami board Only think ol it, live dollars a week ! but in litis country chickens are ten cents a piece, beef three cents a pound, and eggs?why hens lay a dozen a day. There i.-. a ten-pin alley for guests, and next season the list of amusements will be made complete with billiard and pool tables. Another point in favor of these springs is the ! absence of liquor, the nearest rum-mill being two miles, where they dispense mountain j dew to their customers. I strongly recommend these springs to all pleasure seekers, but more especial!) to j those who wisely refrain from paying the i exorbitant price charged at ollu r resorts The hotel is to be enlarged to accommodate j. three hundred guests.

The situation was indeed a critical otn for the beautiful vessel which rested like swan on the heaving surface of the Miam Canal. For three hours she had been be calmed by a balky mule. Freighted will a cargo of golden huod pumpkins, it \va important that there should be no delay ii reaching the port to which they were con signed ; hence the shipper's anxiety wa: but natural. The black clouds that wer< j scurrying across the southern sky tobl to* plainly that a storm was approucliiug, atu woe to the vessel it found unprepared. Tin captain knew that in the present siluatioi of his stately ship a wreck was iucvitahh should the storui strike her. It was at anxious moment, hut his cheek nevei blanched. 11 couldn't unless washed, am of this none who knew our hero had anj fear. <1 lancing hastily at the compass, In saw that the vessel's proper course was eas by South and that the lead mule was at 1 as two points away and on his beam cuds. Tin storm was rapidly approaching, and tin ominous muttering of Heaven's at tiller was evidence enough that ere Ioug the nuv placid surface of the canal would be lasltei into white capped billows, any one of whiel would engulf lite Mm\i/ Ann. To thiol was to act with the cantain. Hastily seiz ing :i glittering fog-horn from its place ii the ratlines, lie placed it quickly to hi rnoutli and shouted : "Tie up the eook." It was a wise move. The cook was liu ble to have hysterics when anything wen wrong, and frequently tipped over the sup per. "The ('ap'n's all right," said (Vshoctoi Joe to the ship's carpenter, a tall, uthL-tu fellow from Ueroa, whose brawny arm hat often directed the fatal fish-lino in pickery season. "Aye. aye, messmate," was the response "and though I'm re afeard we'll ne'er se' wife and children again or steal grapes ii the Sandusky Valley, it's not I that wil shrink back or step ashore at a time lik this." "Well said, my hearty," came in a gruf voice from the ship's ^waist. "Our biuuaeh lights mly go out this night forever, bu let us die like Ohioans." I?y this time the first pulls of the ap preaching tempest were plainly to be felt and the shrill notes of the boss hens on th< neighboring farms showed that even they had scented the danger and were scckiiu shelter. It was a terrible moment. The mule was apparently the only ani mate thing that did not comprehend tin danger.

IT llicy can obtain .sheep to keep . ou shares, they will lind it to their ndvuus tage to do so. but it is useless to advise them i to purchase them at lie present prices. It ) is also folly to tell them to raise largo crops 1 ot plants on a couiderable portion of their land, and to plough them under, Large i crops of plants .suitable for green-manuring j cannot be raised without manure, and they i have not the fertilizers to apply. They r mu.'t use most of the manure made by the 1 | stock they are able to keep, on the laud f j where they are to raise the crops for the j ! support of their families. The tirst object t in life for any person is to gain a living, t and this often reiptires the exertion of all 3 his energies. 3 As it took several years to ruu down a \/ farm, so it will require several seasons to run it up The process of restoration will 1 necessarily be' very slow if an attempt be i made to improve the condition of all tho ; land in an impoverished farm every season. . Most persons will bo better satisfied with i the results if they coiuuicucc with a couis paratively small area of laud, .aiul put that in a process of restoration bcfoic they begin with another. Land becomes impover. ished by taking from it mote than is rest tored. This practice must stopped. The lirst step toward restoring fertility to the soil of a given field generally consists in i turning under the grass crop at about the c time it is usually cut for hay The grass, 1 together with the roots, will form a eousid| viable amount of fertilizing material. If the crop of grass be ploughed under j the last of June or the lirst of July, bucke wheat should be sown immediately, and hari rowed in. Iftlicscnsou is favorable, the | buckwheat will be ready to blossom by the e middle of August, at which tiuie it should be turned uudir by cross ploughing the land. | fhe land may then bo sown to winter rye, u which should in turn be ploughed under as t soon as the stalks begin to head out the next summer. l>y following this course, three . I crops will be buried in t ic soil within the , j short space of twelve mouths There will still > i be time to raise a crop of buckwheat, llunr gariau grass, or sowed corn, which may be j ' ploughed under in the fall. If the work be well done there will be a good seed bed in the spring an which t?i sow oats and red clo. j ver. ; I?lit a small amount of oats should be | sown, as the chief object of raising them is \ I to a fiord protection to lie young clover plant, j j The o its should be harvested and threshed. 1 If practical, the clover should be eaten down i I by 1 }ic sbcop the season after it is sown. If '' ' no sheep are kept on the place, the clover s i may be harvested and fed to slock It is [ most profitable to plough clover under the i i second y ar sifter it was .own. The stalks 1 ' are then of their maximum -i/.o, and well - i suj.pl led with leaves and blossoms, while the roots at'i? 1 >:i;; The growth of" the clover : may lie much increased by s wing land pla.? tor on it early in the spring at the rate ol ; ' one hundred pounds to each acre of land , The Cost of the article is very -mail an I its elicet.- in increasing the urowtii very remarkf; able aj The method of Minting i iml above dosI cribud calls for but a - nil' outlay of money, n 11 requires but a short lime to carry it out, while it ensures very great benefits.

Whatever may have been the original object and purposes of our great antagonist, the Kepubli cau |>arly, however honest anil patriotic its pit ( forms mid candidates may once hare been, it would seem that their organization was captured in the hour of their triumph by faithless, selfseeking ollicii Is, whose construction of the Coustituliou as to their powers would have made tlie misguided but patriotic old Federalists, against whom Jefferson waged war and raised the people in their might, stand aghast with horror. The old ship that was steered through the stormy sea of rebellion without the loss of a spar had barely reached smooth water when she was boardeu by these pirates and used to plunder and destroy what she was built to protect. Its tlag, which was borne with such enduring pluck through the bloody battles of a protracted war, was seized by treacherous hands and made the standard of an nrbittary power infinitely more dangerous to American institutions of liberty than the armed array of the world. Under the shadow of its folds the old fortress of the Constitution was dismantled and its armament moved to a "enntp outside." Governmental organization was subordinated to party or-* gauization. Constitutional power was supplanted by extra-constitutional force, and (lie mandales of party were substituted for the law of tlie land. Is it strange that this mode of conducting a constitutional government should render necessary the expedients of fraud and force? The employment of both is a prime necessity to it. It is an impossibility, without infamous betrayal of trust on tlie part of officials, sustained b'y the force of extra-constitutional organizations. The practical result of all this is a tie facto centralized government, the powers of which are limited only by the discretion of its officials. Thanks to the wisdom of the fathers of the Republic the exercise of this discretionary power is curbed j by obstacles inherent in the matchless system | itself which they fiatued. The officials through whom the powers of government arc operated arc all, from the President to the humblest municipal oflicer, sworn to support the Constitution and laws of the country, and the extent to which arbitrary rule is practicable, is in proportion to the faithlessness of these officials. Where all are true to their tiusts, it is impossible.? Where nil arc faithless, arbitrary government is fully equipped with the machinery necessary for its complete administration. When, in the recent past, our Stale government, under the control of the Republican party, was converted into an engine of oppression, degradation and ruin, we were experiencing the full operation of this centralized government. The sworn officials furnished by the Republican party, so far from interposing the ua'ural obstacles of our governmental system to the administration of unlawful government, themselves destroyed the barriers of the law, and added their share of arbi trary power to the tide of tyranny that engulfed us all. This method of conducting government I is the only one known to the Republicans of South Carolina. Driven well nigh to despair, the free-born cit izens of the State resoved to unite their strength in a supreme effort for relief. They succeeded in restoring the power and authority of law in the Stale, and thereby placed her on n plane with the other Stales of the Union. Rut over them all still hangs the centralized government, a dark threat to liberty and an etleciive obstruc[ lion to the quiet and peaceful reign of the law. , I The people are agaiu called 011 to say which : of these modes of conducting the government shail prevail. This question underlies nil ques- i 11011s of mere policy under the recognized prin- j ciplcs of government for the United States, the j State and 'liecountry. It reaches to the priuci- j pies 011 which the government in ilicm all is to 1 lie conducted. It is the overwhelming question ! . to he settled by the impending contest, and the j ' issue shoul 1 be fairly and squarely made in ev | cry State and County campaign in the Union. If this view of the political situation is the ; true one, the disciplined and uniieu energies id' 1 the Democracy, which will be exerted to establish on a secure basis all that was regained by I their heroic cllbrt in IST'i, should receive the | support of the entire people. They will certain> ly be sustained by all in South Carolina who have the intelligence to appreciate the value of the honor of the State and of the United States to the liberty, peace and prosperity of the people.
