In all great towns, spverul areo every night, exposed in the street, or drowned i*k ,- appies in the water. The performance of this horrid offico is eveti said to bo the avowc.d buvinems by which somo people earti ther subsist.ence. Ch in. however, though it may per. haps stand still, does not seeml to go backwards. Its towns are nowhere de sered by their inhabitants. The lands which had once been cultivated are no. where neglected. The sitno or very nearly tim same annual labor must there. fore, continno to ho performed, and tie funds destined for mainaining it must to!, cols(ini1ently be diminished. The lowest, class oh laborers, therefore, not witlst anding their scanly subsistence, must. somo waly or another make shift to cont.inue their race so far as to keep ny their usual number. The liberal rownrd of labour, there fbre, as it is the iecesary efAlct., s it. is tho natiritl sVIymptomI1 of incronsing na. tionli weith.hi. T'Ie scanty inam1ttainence of the laboring poor, on the other hand, is tlie natural symiptoin that things aro at a stind still, and their starving con. dition that thEoy aru going fast back. wa rdls. 1V appears, accordingly, from the expeonco of all ages and nations, I believe, that the work done by free Imon oomes choaper in the end than that porformod by slaves. It is found to do so even at Boston, Now York, and Philadelphia, wher tlho wages of common labor are so very high. The liberal reward of labor, there fore, as -it is the ll'ot of inoroasing wealth, so it is the cause of iicreasing population. To oQiplain of it is to amont over the necessary effoot and cause of tho greatest, publio prospori ty.. It deserves to h) remarked, per haps, that it is in the progressive stato, whilo the socicty is advancing to the furthor a -quisit-ion, rather than when it h1as acquired its full comiplo mont of riches, that the condition of thme laboriig poor, of the great body of t ho people, sc3omls to be the hap piest and thoe most coamfortablo. It is hard in t lio stat ionary, and1( m1isorablo in the dlecliing state. Trhe progressive state is ini realIity tIre cheorful and the hear ty st.at to all1 the diWfeiront orders of thet sociotiy. T1he at ationiary is d ull ; the dool in ing, melancholy. Theli liberal reward of labor, as it encourages the propngation, so It In creases the industry of the common peopl)o. T1he wauges of labor are the mlioluragemient of indtustry, wvhichl, like every othor humatn qulalit.y, imu prioves ini proportion to the ioionr ageiient it, receives. A plont iful subsistcince increases tho bodily strenigth of the laborer ; andc thle 00om fortable hope of bettering his condi tion, and of ending his days perhaps in ease and plenty, animates him to exert that strength to the utmost, \Vhiere wages are high, accordingly, we shall always find the workingmenm more aeti.ve, dIiligent, and expedittis, thtan whecro they tare low ; in Engl~and, for oxaip le, than in Scotland ; mu the noighiborhmood of groat towns, than in remote eoumntry places.4 Solf-Educatimn-uowledge Des6ends. The importance of the ear in educa tion, that is, of listening well, could be argued dtherwise than fronm the constant eustoimiof leeturing and giv.

Will omeo specific, tangible, practicable (and not simply vague ard general) )ffer of a home prevent inimgrants :oming ? We are simple enough to Ahink not. The Chairman of the Democratic Dlubs of this District, has not thought it worth while, or perhaps, has for rotten, (and it indientes the general indifference) to respond, by a call of Ale people, or otherwise, to the aug. restion of the Executive Committee of i Convention or delegates to meet in Jolumbia, on tile twentieth of this month, to devise ieans for furthering he imanufacturing and other iidus. trial pursuits of South Carolina. We nuppose that Convent ion therefore, if biold, so far as its influence here is 1oneerned, will prove, like most pro !Oedings of clubs and conventions for sevoral years past, a mere fizzle iomo wind, but little work to any iractical purpose.

[cOMMUNIOATZ11.] Suggestio98a6to the Plantera, Mr. Editor: In our former article upt,n gl.asses we made no allusionl to blue-grass--from the fact that it Is still unknown to us whether our sll and climate are condusive to its growth. Sti.1 it will cobicomrnP!1-Rtively lit. te money"and labur to test, it, and its some of our planters may desire to Rice the tcst, I wilt' now mtake a fow suggeetions for their benefit. Blue-grass is not well adapted for hay making, as it will yield miuoh lss, an inte rior hay to that of clover or Iim1othy. and from it,; very naturo nnd tiality i' is ai.mno adapted to grazing. and as suteh, far excels all others, both in yield and ii nitricious qtalities which makes it va.ui,aLc it all :een sons of the year. The blue-grass seed is never :epe-:ted from the chaff, and therefore rt4inives more to be sown per acre, which shoul. never be in less qnantities than one peck per acre and as it It nauch cheapor than oth.r seet's it Is tnuch better to sow it, even thicker than that. . The best time andi place to s,w it, is on wheat or rye 61rotad, early aftor the fornier Is sown, but, will grow If sown at any sea. son, and In connection with clover, as it re. quires several years to form thick, heavy sod, ati as tie clover gives way the blue grass will take its place by spreading and formation ot' the sedi, which will continiue to improve for an indefinito period-once es tablished is too valuable to be displaced for any purpose. Blue-grass bpreads nail the seed from its own stalk will fall oiF and grow, so where at first it is tihi, will gradually come thicker and thicker each year until a perfect soil is formed without any nditional lithor. In our former article we failed to montion the process of hay making, and the way to take care of and preserve it. Clover should be cut when half of its blossom is dead, and permitted to lie in the slin until fully wilted, which will require from a half to a day's sun, and should then bostacked either under shelter or covered with timothy, or some material that. will turn the rains, othet wise, it will soon be como wort bless. It.would be rnuch htter to add a little salt upon It, between the different layers, which will not be lost to the stook '.hen feeding. The same process is ntil in making hay of timothy, only it, will be r st ac,iig in the fields, as it is so cens!itried as to turn wa ter and protect itelf, cilbier will be very materially injured hy nllowing raini to tall upon It after b1oinj 6?t andt before stacki g or by exposing it too lotig to th sin.

SoirI...-Whatever has bcen said of the horrors of war cannot be otherwise than true: still, it will he diflicult t, point to any great forward movement marking hunan progress which, either di rectly or indirectly, has not grown out of war. Arter our late war, the Southern journals began to teach that varied indus tries bring grtater Wealth than a few spe clal ones, however- certain of reward, andl( the p)eople, or at least the agricultural por tion, acceptedl the doctrine andl acted ao cordingly, for they have not only rased their own bread. Which they had not. dlotne for many years before, bitt they have added largely to the list of farm products, and as a rostult their affairs are approximatinag to a most hopeful condition, while familIes and individuals generally havo more varied, or what is the sanme thing, better food. It is trtue that conas and scanity food may scure or- restore health, and impart itellectual vigor to those enervated by luxury, by Idleness, or sedentary -employment it when such is the diet of the masses, it is not t,rue, for no civilized people ever lived on plainer food titan they in tho South, while a certain class usutally had no moro than.a few days' supply on hand, atnd often tht' were without the means with which it could be bought. Without goitng ito any r-gument on tids subj et, it is siutliciet t o say that, na A genemal thing, the better the whole of the common. people of any coun try live, the muore advatnced are they in educoation, in art, and In refinemtent, and time greater is the avernge wealth, ntd the more et enly is it distr-ibuted By good living we do not mnan what fashionable people would utnderstand it to be, nor a ditt which is as coarse as it is abundant, but such as, by its qualIty and variety, is grate. ful to theo hnporverte.d taste of ohildhood, of maturity, and of old age. Therefore,, no wiser counsel could have bieen given to the Southern people than that they should pro. duce, within thie boundaries of their own homesteads, as great a var-Iety of food as tle elimate tnt) sell would pertmit.

Zioun Institute is, wye uinderstand, very fine, since there promises to be an increaso of about twenty pupils at least. The I three schools for young ladics and children, of Mrs. Otear, Mrs. Por 1her, and Miss Blain, have all opened nlready remarkably well, there being a hirger aittendir.co than I last year. Mr. B. I.

Died in Winnshoro, some day last week, Cicero Mushatt, a native A fri Cn, sipposed to have been On1o hun. dred and ten years old. IlIe remained, until death, wit his former owNier, Mr. J. S. Stewqrt. Hc said sometime ago, that freedom had not made a fool of him, as it had in the case of Imiost negroes, for ho had been free before, and was born free in Africa. During the last year (1868) of his life, by Un ccasing, industry to tle day of Iis death, he mad two bales of cotton, doing all of the Itocing and picking, also twenty bushels of corn-more therefore than many younger inen in their prime. A SugCetion to O.iarleston Faot>rs and Railroads. We believe that the culture of cot. ton and tite trade of Charleston would both be considerably stimulated and increased, if Factors would arrango to. advanlce the Charleston Phosphates, upon a credit, to thoso planters that woubl Pledge to sell their cotton crops in Charleston, and if the railroads connecting with Charleston would ad vertiso to deliver the Charleston Phosphates at any of their stations free of charge, anid to deliver cotton in Cliarkston, next fall, at say $1. per bale. It is a matter for the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce. as well as for individual Footors, and for the Phosphate Manipulating Compa. ie s. Delay in the Mails.
