C.?Gentlemen: Nearly two years ago I contracted malaria into my system, and suffered greatly from time to time from it in various forms in which it developed. Sometimes had severe chills and fever?indigestion followed it, and 1 was generally out of health. Last spring for more than two months I was greatly troubled with a disordered condition of the bowels, which I believe was the result of the malaria still existing in my system. I visited two or three mineral springs, celebrated for I be cure of malarial diseases, without the slightest ben. efit. I was also treated in the different symptons developed by the most skillful Physicians, but was not rcleived. About t?o months ago, 1 conoluded to try Calisaya Toni? prepared by Westmoreland Bros., butiBUat confess I had little confidence of being materially benefited by it. 1 have taken five or six bottles of the Tonic. Fr0m the beginning 1 feel relief and continued to improve, until now I felt quite as well and in as perfect health as 1 ever did in my life, and believe I am perfectly well. U. P. HAMMETT, President.

Greenwood, Miss., Sept. 6.?News is still anxiously awaited for the two hundred men who started out Tuesday night under the guidance of two deserters from George Allen's band of negro outlaws to capture the leader at his camp. Four negroes were killed up the river Tuesday night whi'e resisting arrest, and lost night a large quantity of ammunition was captured by a sheriffs fosse from two negroes who were carrying it to the outlaw's camp. There are eaid to be one hundred and fifty or more negroes in the two bands now. Jamiesou's store at Shady Grove, was burned by outlaws Tuesday night, because they were refused powder and shot. It was known before that Allen bad shot a negro for refusing to take up arms against the whites, bat to-day it is learned that the man who was killed was the leader's own brother. Chattanooga, Sept.

From nearly all parts of tho County we learn that tde cotton crop docs not give as good promise as the fine plant would cause us to expect or hope for. Many farmers have told us that upon olose examination they find their early planted cotton have grown more to weed than fruit: many fine stalks not having more than three bolls on them, while it is very seldom that a well fruited stalk can be found. The wet weather in June and July did the mischief, and the cold weather in August was anything but beneficial to the growth and maturing of the bolls. Notwithstanding this disappointment, our Farmers are in better spirits than we ? neir Corn, Oat, Wheat, Pea, and foiage crops have not been as good for years, and they have made their crops with much less expense for supplies. Another very important factor in making farming profitable and honorable has also done much to make the future of the farmer look brighter and more hopeful: The constant intercourse of the Farmers in the Alliance, und the teachings of frugality, industry and close economy therein initnW ed, have been put ia prnctice by a large number of them this year, and the results are so plain that new life, a higher ambition, and a more elevated opinion of their noble calling bare been infused into the farming class of our people, and they are beginning to believe that they were born for a higher purpose than to he "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for everybody else ; and are fast being convinoed that there is both respectability and money in the farmer's high calling, if pursved with industry and conducted with gook frigment, frigaiity and cammon-sence economy; which is sure lo.make the advocation of farming like every other avocation that is conducted upon sound business principles, not mnmlv I ing but profitable and highly respectable. 7 I Cotton Weigher. , At a meeting of the Town Council last ( Monday night, Mr. J. 11.

Mauiy, Principal of the male lepartment, is a graduate of Macon College, her ITa., and comes to us highly recommended I is a pure gentleman, a thorough educator, ind one well fitted for the high position he lias asuiuen: that of training the youths of glbl our community for the responsible duties of C citizens. Miss K. A. 1'axton, the Principal of the reinale department, is a graduate of Miss j Baldwin's Female Seminary, 8taunton, Va., Sm and also comes to us with perfect credentials ^ as a christian lady and thorough teacher. mo The Assistant in the male department, Mrs. Linder, is too well known In our com- Un munity to require any recommendation at our hand. The fact that the Board of Trus- w,' tecs ro-elcctcd her for the second term is f in sufficient guaranty that she is fhlly compe- tea tent to fit! the position, atltt has 'gtrvn?Aett satisfaction to the patrons of the school. Her pure christian character and high cul- hoi ture, which is well known to us all, will be om sufficient recommendation to thp patrons of the school hereafter. mg Miss Minnie Gist, the Assistant in the primary department of the Female school is ?h a graduate of the Columbia Female College, which of itself is a sufficient recommenda- jm tion as to her qualifications, and those who V are personally acquainted with her are well assured that she is thoroughly competent to fill the position to which she has been elec- fu ted. With her christian character, genial and amiablo disposition, she will exert an influ- *n once on the children placed under her care, that will be felt for good in the community in years to come. We would not throw one stono in the way of any other schools, by saying that the Public School is for the benefit of eveTy ^ child in the community, but it is a faot, that pi InMe-wfsto^lfi1^ ~ Union; to make them a permanent Institution, and give them a high literary standard, hi To accomplish this, the Trustees must em- ? ploy a thorough and competent corps of teachers, and that cannot be done without ft the aid of the public fund, supplemented by h a liberal private subscription. To secure the full benefit of the publio Fund for this ^ district it is highly important to increase the attendance of tho scholars, and to accomplish yi this parents and those having children in T their charge should cooperate with the True- ^ tees by patronizing the publio schools as far as possible. P We sincerely hops that all interested in the in welfare of the town and the education of tho children will give to the publio school Trus- BJ tees all the aid in their power to make our >w nnhlli* unhnnla ?* A -? .?i? f??- uwuuug ouvvvoa. a u,VT*r meat is now op foot.-t? oiih?? .w*** ur D1IJ jj * suitable buuwing for the school.

Now Oint the oil mill is an assured fact, which will certainly bring to our town in di the near future many operatives, let us offer H to them good educational advatdages, as o) cheap n<< possible, by placing before them ?? ^ good Public School, with the best ialent in a, the land at its head, and by pulling together in the interest of the public. The Colored Churoh Bell. ft We would not throw a straw in the way g1 o the colored people worshiping tlod, but oq tlie contrary, vie would do all in our p< Jowcr to encourage and elevate tjiem in M their moral eharaoter, as we have always T< doi^e. But the oitisens living in the neighborhood of the St. Auguslina Churoh B make complaint that the unreasonable hour at which they ring their bell on. Sonday morning, yhich is . between threa and four fi< o'clock, is Very annoying. fa We are to\d it is often the case that families are ar\. ised and alaroied by the te bell, thinking tha^it is an alarm of fire. To prevent the trouble, we would sug. to gest to the members \?f the churoh that they have an understanding among them- hi sslves that there will be ia^ sunrise prayer- sp meeting without ringing of ^he boll.

How I hare rer been antagonistic to the Oil "* lis, wad am not to this one. , While some say, or will say, that the Mill i Injurious to the oouutry?to the farming **' lustry?that It will take the best ana J*' sapest manure, cotton seed, from the , tns, and that tha Union MUl will be " loh more so, it bsing nearer, I know If . km inclined to sell eeed, the near nets of ? ^ s Mill will be no induoemeot, and ought < i.K, in ui nnn if tha farms are to ! ,v '* ? ?w ?-? ? ? I fleeced for money. Bat the lead ie not ' ligod to be robbed of that good manure, [V r the meal, which ie said to be muoh iter then tbe eeed, could be returned. . Dr. Jones, ef the Southern Cultivator, who ' acknowledged authority on all such sub- * cts, says that the cotton seed meal is better ro' r manure than the seed, and that if the _ ed could be gotten to and the meal from . ie mill, without teo great an expense, sell l0fl ,e seed, and bhy meal, but never swap. .. "e have tried it under cotton, alongside ^ guano, and liked the meal the best. j s for oorn, it is rather troublesome, if not * >o expensive, to put seed under it, for if 110 ley are green they will come up, and that . iuch is almost lost, besides the time taken 'n t cover ap the sprouted cotton. And it Is morally oonoeded that time ia money, ut wim meal no saoh result, follows, it *r t said thnt there aire about 118 or 820 rorth of oil and short lint in every ton of eed that is buried ia the ground, and that tiere is not the least partiele of manurial . slue in oil. That much is literally thrown ?f way, that might be mode to do somchpdy ood. And if yeu do a friend good you _ eve done yourself good. Let Union build he Mill, and then the Mill men and " srmers work to esch other's interest; for * f there are any two faotors that ought to ' rork together it is farming and manufao- w. uring. This Mill will be a home enter. T1 rise, and let all who are disposed to sell 11 eed sell to the home Mill, and make for w hetnselves some money and allow the Mill J nen to make some also, out of the other- " vise wasted oil and lint. And then let the 11 Mill men sell the farmers, at fair price*, pure, * unadulterated, and highly oonoentrated . nanure, cotton seed meal, and then that j1 >18 or $20 that we have been throwing " iway?burying it in the ground?will be r nroulatcd right here among us. There are 3 lome who will waste a large quantity of 11 leod that could be utilised some way, for * hey will not use them for manure, and tome will ship them a long distance to sell. Now. whan they ship the seed to distant ubi 11* Urnc nomr ttar them, 'lis true, bat the money from the 1 tele of oil is lost to us entirely. And if I the farmers purchase meal from distant ii Mills, or inforior grades of guauo, that v money, toe, is sent from home to be oirou- s lated among strangers, leaving this Bounty and its peoplo that muoh poorer, f and iu moro depressed condition. r And thcu, too, it is said, the hulls, are h an excellent feed for osttle, with groat fat. | d teniug qualities?bolter lhau the eeed. At I for that, wo qre not prepared to say any. o thing, as i* scams rather problematical; i but if it is true, then we njay truthfully endorse tho couplet of the negro : o "The cotton seed atn greatly deoeibin', e And its true worth am past all beliebin.' " t And the cotton crop is of more importance t than the planters had realized. f Some will eay that cotton seed is the s cheapest manure obtainable. 1 dbn't think ii so. Let me try to give s cheaper one lor ' you know that on four.fifilis of the land, t I It n Hnt aIoaa ' jay forth* rmivtng, and the seed must go to get a eery little for your s work : That cheaper manure is poa vines. t Where twenty acres?poor acres?have d been planted in cotton, take ten of the best, and work and manure that well, and it will a pay bolter than the twenty half cultivated, with the extra expense attached, and the fc othor ten oould be planted in poos, with a c little cotton seed meal ander them, or some z good grade of guano, and make a heavy i orop of peas, which is also a money crop; 1 b?sid*5r th? ?in?? hp* A ?A!***b!s - I nure without the expense and trouble of f hauling to and spieading on the field; and the farmers oould continue, with proper { rotation of corn and peas, oats and peas, c and cotton, until they bring their land to a I nign state 01 leriuuy, at me same time, win ? fair prices for cotton and seed, make two I money crops on the same land, where they ( heretofore nave made only a part of eae.

But this much is evident; the armers have handsomely acquitted themelves in the cultivation of their crops, and t is to be hoped that a kind Providenoe rill amply reward them for the labor of heir hands. The upland corn, of which there is but a mall acreage planted, is excellent, but botom land, the principal crop, is seriously lamaged. The vegetable crop is both abundant, ,nd of superior quality. Best of all, the cultivation of the heart las not been neglected ; but many souls on very hand, have been brought from darkless to light, and are now joyfully "walkng before the Lord In the land of the iving."

A few years ago, on , bout 2 acres of old field, where I had out a rop of Spring oats, I oonoludsd to hate the V >. itubble turned under. In September I hired wo boyb and gate them their dlaaor aad ifty cents eaoh to plow the stabble in thinking it would benefit the land. Early ^ in the spring 1 perceived a tolerably good - < >tand of volunteer oats, partly ooversd in he weeds and grass, and oonoluded to them remain; and from those Iwo acres, I inrasnea oo ouineis or nut amy oats, 1 which cost only 91 60 to plow and jut. Then, last year, I know a farmer who, while he was having about a third of an acre . j >f turnips plowed in in September, drilled with his hand two rows of oats between J each row of turnips, and he reaped for bis few minutes work 17J bushels of very line . :'V oats. There is very little danger of oats being <"j winter killed if sowed early in the fall, M .... ' ^ the roots will hive time to be well attached . to the ground, and the grass that will grow 40.', before frost will greatly proteot them from theoold. ^ By all means, Brethren, sow largely of Ml oats, and they will have time to folly mature, will improve and not impoverish the land, ltko those sowed in tho spring. Also sow a patoh of rye on good land in this month, and next April you will have a forage that your work stack will liko and - . i will save corn. 4 - 1U JlfiUlflfllflU All! UUUY1V1 ur TU ALI4A|fCE.
