A correspoudent of the Now' York
Time, writing to tIhat paper concrning
the lato Union Republican Convention,
says:
After a three days sitting, tho Union
Republican Convention 6ms to-nighil
compio ted its work. It has embodied
its'principles in a platform; it has or
ganized its comnuttees, and the party
may now be said to be on its legs bofor
the State and the country. The mem
bers are almost unanimously well satis.
fied with their work, and they express
the utmost confidenco i their ability, or
the basis hero ]aid down, to carry tih<
State (f Soith Carolina. But whethm
they have planted things liko to last I
knew not; whether what they have
raised is destined to prove really r
platform, or only a scafllldng for a plat.
form, or mero wasto lumber, remains t:
be seen. it is clean and clear and out
and out radical. But it is quito cortait
that outside of those who havo taker
part in this movement is a large body
of Republicans, including many of the
most respectablo and intelligent and
inifluential men of the party, who havt
not united with thoso who have coni
to Columbia, but have stood aloof tt
await the upshot of the thing. It may
be that they will now take the oppor.
tuity to form a distinct organization
in which case the Columbia Convention
will havo played into their hands by
the adoption of a platform that is een
sorious in its character, that contemplates
indirect confiscaiion, and that is likely
to divide thOe State sharply on the line
of race. It may bo on tihe other hand
-and is so claimed by tho radical lead
ors here - that the Columbia organiza.
will show much strength as to draw all
these moderate Republicans to it. Quicn
sahe. Things are altogether too chaotic
yet to tell.

nmuch for religion is to be sceen by tho
long and toilsome pilgrimnages under

mortification of the flesh in whib
their zeal finds venit instead of pros
elytisin. Oin on occasion, a few
weeks ago, I. was witniess to these
Imortifications of the Ileshi. The place
was New Wang, a tomple close to
Ningpo, which has recently gained a
high reputation for the piety of its in
mates. At th time I entered, two
priests were undergoing the operation
of having the linger burned off. The
way it was done is as follows :
A string was tied arouni to ' finger
under the second knuckle ; the hand
was then surrounded by a bail of clay,
and the fist doubled up,- leaving one
linger sticking out. Round this fin
ger was tied sandal wood, which was
lighted, and boiling and blazing rosin
and oil poured upon it. Tho person
operated upon sat in a chair untied,
with tie bur-ning hand on the altar.
Nothing prevonted him ioving his
hand at any momnit. At any time
lio could have asked, and the torturo
would have been discontinued. I
stayed for an hour and a half witness
ing this strango sight, all of which
tine gongs were boating and prayers
being said. Bohind onoof the sniler
ora stood an aged priest, his hands on
tho shoulders of a sufferer, a young,
healthy looking man. From the
hands of the old Blonzc five fingers
were missing, they having been burn
ed off'. I must confess that though I
am used t~o see operations, etc., with-i
out a shudder, I sickened at thue sight
of this neodless pain and deformation
of G od's image.

Within the last seventeen years I
have purchused and put into g'od cul
livatin three different farms. The
land of each was said to be worn out. when
I made the purchases. Untit receitly,
when mat.uring land, my practice has
beein invariably to cover the manure
witl the .plough, iever allowing it to
remmNi long on the ground before
plou:hin it. If the land is to be
141 noml in corin, or other hood crops that
root deep, I continue the practice of
phughing in the manure. It is put
in heaps and spread as ploughed in.
Wheat, and all small grain, roots
near the surface, reqpuires the man
ure nearer the top than when covered
with the plough. I manure my w~heat
after ploughiing, spreading it after the
wheat is sown and harrowing in togeth
er. I thiink the whleat stands the Win

lie manure is covered with the plough.
ft, should be well rotted so that it mix
freely wihm the soil. If the land is faml
low, it should be broke up deep, the
nianuro ploughed' in very shallow, and
the wheat, put in w'ith a drill.
I never spread manure to remain on
the surface, unless it be land laid dowvn
to grass, or under~ fruit trees. When it
is thus a pplied to the surfaice, it should
be dlono in the WVinter or very early in
the Spring, so that the rains may soak
its virtues into the ground before the
sun has much influence. In hiauling
manure cii land after it has been plough
e'd, care should be taken to cross the
field as much as possiblo in roads, so
that they may be ploughed again before
