Immigration from Europe Ur the United States never was so large as now. -One hundred and thirty of thebest steamships are running, and many of the people coming are oT a high class, having moM^r,- skul and brains. ? Mr. Longfellow and his partv are having a good time generally in fifigland. At last aooonnts they were visiting the seats of noblemen and the places of interest about Cumberland, and were everywhere received with marked attention. Fig trees can easily be grown from the cuttings or root shoots, and it is oertainly strange that they are not planted in every lot in town, and farm in the country. The fig is universally esteemed as the best of fruit, and the tree is long living wiMwymti) .j The latest Yankee invention is the economic cheroot, one of which is twice the length of the ordinary, and herein is the economy. The government taxes cigars without regard to length, and the application of a knife will make one of these into two. The German newspapers are full of matri? ??1 i fcesiftMaetia tnanwf/v] Kw Hnmron.

It is mid that these matrimonial advertisements elicit plenty of replies. At a late dinner in North Carolina there sat down to dinner three ex-Governors, an ex-Justice of the Supreme Court, two ex-members of Congress, and some other men of honorable distinction in their State, and the only person in the room who ooold vote or hold office was the negro who waited on the table. ?- Gov: Worth, the late Governor of North Carolina, wrote a very brief protest to the new Governor on surrendering the executive office under an order from Gen. Canby. He declares in the protest that neither Holden nor those elected at the time he was, have any legal authority to the positions they daim, save the certificate of a major-general of the United States army. The valuation of the real and personal property of New York city, liable to taxation in 1868, is fixed at $908,436,327, against $831,669,813 in 1867, being an increase of $76,766,514. This increase, it is asserted, is due mainly to the rise of real estate in the apper wards. This year the rate of taxation will be fixed at abont $2.50 per 100; last year it was $2.80. The first rhinoceros that has been brought to this country in twenty years, was landed in New York last Monday. The animal is but four years old, and measures nine feet in length, and roar and a half in height, weighing over 3.000 pounds. As his daily food he eats two bushels of oorn, one bushel of potatoes, and 300 pounds of hay, drinking fifteen to twenty buckets of water. The sales of breadstuffs, the product of wheat, in this country, are estimated to exceed three thousand millions of dollars every year. This calculation allows for six sales or exchanges of the entire product of the country before actual consumption, estimated at 200,000,000^ bushels, and includes tne additional value of labor in milling and transporting. Of corn, 1,000,000 bushels are produced. The new Tammany Hall, in New York, was formally dedicated on Saturday morning, before the assembling of the National Convention, by the sachems and brethren of the Society of St Tarn many, who formed in procession at the temporary wigwam, in Thirteenth street, and marched to the new building. The Declaration of Independence was read by Judge Cardoso, after which Grand jUMfc 8achem John T. Hoffman pronounced the dedicatort address, the ceremonies terminated and the hall was thrown open to the National Convention. ^? An association of colored men, known as the JflHkCharleston Land Company; have recently pur^?P^chased a tract of laud near Mount Pleasant, opposite to Charleston. We learn, by the National Savings Bank Journal, that they have planted this year one hundred acres of cotton, fifty-two acres of corn, ten of peas, ten of melons two and a half of tomatoes, three of beans, ten of sweet, and six of Irish potatoes. This crop is represented as doing well, and as the company is quite large the labor is comparatively light. At a Hallowell (Me.) granite quany, recently, there was split from a sheet of granite, a 'solid Block one hundred feet long, averaging in width eight and a half feet, and in thickness five feet. The block contains no less than fonr thousand two hundred and fifty cubic feet, and consequently would weigh about three hundred and a half tons. It is asserted that a more ponderous and symmetrical mass of granite was never before quarried in the country. -?A steam traction engine has recently been tried in Brazil, on the macadamized road which runs from the Emperor's summer residence at Petropolis, to the borders of the district Minas Geraes. The engine, it is stated, ran up the steep road, dragging a large omnibus with ease ana speed, ana dashed rapidly over the level road from Petropolis to Jui? da Fora, at a speed of more than the ten miles an hoar at which the passenger stages make the trip. The trial was considered to be successful. It is anuounced that, in consequence of the snooeRs of the recent British explorations about Jerusalem, a similar enterprise for Mount Sinai had been planned by {he Rev. Pierce Butler. We regret to learn, by recent advices from England, that this gentleman, said to have been well qualified to superintend the labour, had died just as he was about sailing for his field of operations. The work will, however, it is said, be continued under other auspices, and it is hoped with interesting results. 0 Large farms seems to be attracting the attention of agriculturists. Two wealthy, enterpri-. sing gentlemen of Harrison County, Ohio, have purchased a township six miles square, in Nebraska, of government land, and propose to convert the whole into one grand farm of 23,040 acres. They intend to enclose it with a hedge of the osagc orange twenty-four miles in extent, and will put cross hedges twelve miles in length. They will hire all their labour, and use the most improved agricultural machinery, intending to put the whole farm into wheat as fast as possible, It will re?|uire about 20,000 bushels for the seed of such a arm. The Metrical System of weights, and measures of length, surface and volume, the same as the French, have been adopted in Germany. A writer in the Evening Post says: May we imitate the Germans, and act quickly on our question of adapting the dollar to the five franc piece, and may a single lustrum suffice to find our whole cis-Caucasian race with one coin, measure, weight, thermometer, and one longitude, as it nas already one alphabet, one music, one education high and low, one dress, one era, one numeration, one law of nations, one division of time, one domestic economy, and the same financial concepts so that the internationalization of our race may be thorough, without, however, the wipiug out of the distinct nationalites. A very pretty incident is related of a canary bird by a Georgia paper. The door of the bird's cage was occasionally left open that he might enjoy the freedom of the room. One day he happened to light upon the mantel-shelf, whereupon was a mirror. Here was a netv discovery of the most profound interest. He gazed long at himself, and came to the conclusion that he had a mate. Going feck to his cage he selected a seed from its box, and brought it in its bill as an offerinff fn tho ofronffor In rnin tliP Winflrv PTftrtftd himself to make his new friend partake, and becoming weary of that, it tried another tack. Steppine back a few inches from the giafca he poured forth his sweetest notes, pausing noiHlnd tnen for a reply. None came, and moojy and disgusted he tied back to his perch, hanging his head in shame and silence for the rest of the day; and although the door was repeatedly left open he refused to come out again. President Johnson, in reply to a brief communication addressed to him by a long list of dis, tinguished citizens of New Fork, asking whether he would consent to become a candidate for the next Presidency before the Democratic Convention, dispatched, on yesterday. a letter admirable in tone, in taste, and as an explanation and defence of his administration and principles. The President, in this letter, alludes with dignity to the unprecedented position which he has occupied with reference to Congress, the Constitution, and the people. Compelled by bis oath to administer the government in accordance with the Constitution and the laws, his efforts have nevertheless been embarrassed by an overpowering opposition from a majority in the National Legislaturej against which he could act only upon the defensive, or risk the direful jpossibillity of a counter revolution. After reviewing aWonsidcrable length the circumstances which have controlled his action as an advocate of the people's rights, the President declares himself to be, as he always has been in the course of his long career as a public servant, at the disposal of the 1 ? people, and concludes by expressing bis hope tha the Democratic party, in thfe choice of a candidate and in the construction of a platform at the forth coming convention, may be animated more by i desire to institute and conserve sound and .loft} Srinciplea than by a desire for mer? party aggran izement, This brief sketch of what are stated t< be a few of the points dwelt upon by the Presiden in Us letter, is by no means a complete expositioi of it, and it is to hoped that the gentleman ti whom it is addressed will see fit to submit th< whole of it for publication.?Cor.

The sport is delightful, an< at the same time useful. GOV. ORR'S COMMUNICATION. Upon his removal from the office of Governor o the State, Gov. Orr, by invitation, transmitted t the Legislature, a lengthy and able communica tion in reference to State affairs. The documen is interesting for its statistical and other informa tion, but its great length forbids the publicatioi of anything more than a couple of extracts upoi the subjects of "The Public Debt" and "Taxes." A careful perusal of the latter article may provi advantageous to such of the members of the Leg islature as hate learned to read. ? CONGRESSIONAL. The proceedings of Congress during the pas week, are devoid of special interest. The Edmunds Bill, providing that the electora vote of no State, lately in rebellion, shall be count ed in November next, unless such State has or * - - i- a. n * gamzed its government nnaer tne ixeuuiimrucwui Acts of Congress, and is represented in botl Houses, has passed the Senate. The funding ant tax bills have been under consideration, the form er of which passed with amendments. In the House a new bill removing political disa bilities, has passed. It includes a large nunibe of South Carolinians. Among the names are, J Bolton Smith, G. W. Williams, W. B. Metts Daniel Button and R. M. Wallace, of York; Eli sha Moore and John Twitty, of Lancaster. ? ? # PEACHES. "J. C. C.," in a communication last week, aski us for the best mode of packing green fruit foi market As editors are expected to know hov to do eveiything, from milking a cow to making c steam engine, we will proceed to meet "J. C. CV inquiry: The usual mode of packing fruit for shipment is as follows: Gather about five days before fully ripe, pack in bushel boxes, four sides of plank? the ends covered with narrow strips of lathing, tt allow ventilation. Peaches should be packed wit! the stem ends placed towards the walls of the box though this precaution is not always regarded Four such boxes packed and closed up, may b< made into a package, by laying them together s< that the ends are left open to the air, and fastening with a hoop drawn around and tacked. Transpor tation on small lots will be reduced in this way. New York is the best market for early fruit, al though Baltimore and Philadelphia consume larg( quantities and give remunerative prices. Pool fruit will not sell anywhere. THE CONTEST. We have devoted considerable space in this week's issue, to the publication in full of two high ly important documents?the platform and princi pies adopted by the Democratic Convention in Nev York, and the speech of Hon. Horatio Seymour, as President of the Convention, and afterwards the nominee of the Convention for the Presidency of the United States. The platform is a bold and truthful paper, meeting fnllv the views of the Conservative neonie oi the country. Since the Declaration of Indepen dencein 1776, no public document has been penned so truthful in its details of aggravated wrong anc usurpation, and so likely to stir the popular heari to a returning sense of the requirements of a pop ular and correct form of government, It has th( ring of true metal, and if the people of this coun try are capable of self government they must per ceive that the only hope of perpetuating their liberties and their safety, lies in the principles enun ciated in this paper. The speech of Gov. Seymour upon taking his seat as Chairman of the Convention, is importanl as an enunciation of the views, as a man, of the individual who has become the standard-bearer oi the Democratic party; and the leader of the com ing revolt against radicalism and misrule. To the people of the South, who stand rather ir the attitude of spectators of this grand contest, both of these papers must bring solace, hope, anc a promise of deliverance from the bondage thai now presses so heavily upon them. The South, through her representatives, asked nothing in the Convention ; and this manifestation of the popm lar will of the multitude is a spontaneous uprising that we have not materially assisted in creating. Our wrongs and persecutions have at last stirred the sympathies of the American people, and we may hope that they will make our deliverance sure. There was danger to the North as well as the South, in the mad excesses to which radicalism if t* *u:.. J ? uapii'iii?. j.i? i? iuin uumuiuii uunger, more tnar anything else, that has awakened the masses to th( facts put forth in the Democratic Platform. A duty is now before us. We must strive tc cast the vote of South Carolina for Seymour ar.c Blair, at the November election. It is possible tc accomplish such a purpose, if our people deliber ately and determinately go to work in the righ way. OUR INSOLVENCY. Whenever a proposition for the compromise o debts is urged, there are always persons found wh< begin to speak of the "rights of creditors" beinj ignored in the effort to protect the debtor; and th< equitable adjustment of the separate rights o each, seems to form the prime difficulty in the way of settlements. Our position concedes all the right the creditor can claim. The large share of it is on that side o: the question; for when an individual gives his ob ligation to pay a certain amount of many to anoth er acknowledging value received, he can present nc legal or moral reasons why he should not pay it.? The proposition to compromise, stands upon othei grounds. It is claimed that creditors (if such ? class has any distinctive existence) are as greal sufferers as debtors, from a condition of general insolvency ; and that they would be advancing then individual interests by helping to free from insolvency, the communities in which they reside. They may assist in doing this upon terms profit ; . , ; ; t able to themselves, by consenting to icoeive what s the debtor ift able to pay out of hS present rfisonr' ces, and forgiving the remainder.? 1 But we ta Lethe hroad'ground,;thai; in a mqjpr. ity of caaeSj tbe creditor class would b2 as greatly 3 benefitted by. forgiving all debts due, and thus ret move the clogs that bind our people to penpty and 1 indolence, as to worry away the coming years in 3 the effort to extort the pittanoes that may from time to time be realized. Once free the country , from the shackles of debt that now ec thrall threefourths of its brat citizens, and we "may expect' fo , see industry and enterprise on the rampage again; . happiness growing in the cottage and the mansion alike; prosperity imparting new life to enterprise; and enterprise gathering additional momentum from prosperity. In other -words* something like * a return of those halcyon daysof the put we all de~ light to remember, might once more be i-ealized even \t in the dispirited and dejected South. We are not so foolish as to assert that relief from indebtedness, ^ alone, will accomplish such grand results; but We a do believe that the indebtedness of the country is - one of the chief obetaoles standing in the way of their accomplishment The evils of bad govern ment are perhaps as great as those entailed by in solvency; bnt there are glimmerings of hope it' the future, which enable us to trust thai; this heavy ? yoke may ere long be removed. Is there no hope that the other incubus may likewise be lifted from the hearts of a people whose cup of suffering and sorrow has surely been filled to the brim? - As we move forward then in the effort to restore tcoura selves the blessings of civil liberty and happiness, ' let us remember that the triumph can never be i complete, if, when it comes, it fells upon an insolvent and debt-crushed people. The time for moving in this matter is the present CAnnot the peo^ pie of York meet and in a friendly spirit discuss this matter with the view of arriving lit a common agreement? ! !' ' J hi . ? . fa u n DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. J - :i FIRST DAY.- j 11 This body was called to order at 12 in., July 4th, by Mr. Belmont Chairman of the Executive Comf mittee, who nominated Hon. Hemy S. Palmer, Q of Wisconsin, as temporal? Chairman. Committees on Credentials and on the nominat tion of permanent officers, were then appointed, consisting of one member firOm each State. The 3 Territorial delegates were excluded from the Con3 vention. The Committee on Resolutions was next > appointed, consisting of one from etch State.? e Glen. Wade Hampton was on the Committee from South Carolina.. This is the Committee from which emanated the platform of principles. > i THIRD DAY. "\i:> The Committee on Resolutions reported the t platform, which was adopted amid tumultuous applause. Six ballotmgs were then had for the ] Presidential nominee, without obtaining a choice. - Hancock, Pendleton, Hendricks, Johnson, English - Seymour and Ex-Governor Packer, were nomina i ted and received more or less votes. Pendleton rei ceived the highest vote given, viz: 122J. 1 FOURTH DAT. The balloting for the Presidential nomination was continued. Twelve ballots were had?Han cock receiving on the eighteenth ballot 144 votes, r the largest vote given for him. The Convention having adopted a rule making a two-thirds vote , necessary to a choice, and 2124 being the requisite - number, no nomination was had. Pendleton's highest vote was 1514. The contest now seemed to be.between Hancock and Pendleton. Hendrick's highest vote was 87 on the eighteenth 3 ballot r FIFTH DAY. r Pendleton's name was withdrawn, and Field, of ' California, and Blair, of Missouri, nominated. The first three ballotings were had, Hnncock'receiving as high as 1424, and Hendricks 121. > On the twenty-second ballot Ohio cast her vote 7 for Seymour, notwithstanding his protest against it. Other States rapidly fell into line, and the ) unanimous vote of the Convention was given for 1 Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York, for Presi1 dent. A recess of one hour was then taken, and upon 5 re-assembling Gen. Wade Hampton, of South } Carolina, made a telling speech, nominating F. P. ' Blair, of Missouri, for Vice-President. The nomination took like wild fire, and State after State gave its vote for Blair, until an unanimous poll was made. .Blair was a Major-General in the Fed' end Army, and commanded, at one time, a corps r under Sherman. He is a zealous Democrat, and has ever been faithful to the principles of his party. The Convention closed its labors by a general intermingling of officers and members, and the ex' hibition of the utmost enthusiasm and good feel' ing. ? 4 ' EDITORIAL 1NKLINGH. i Tax Executions. 3 Mr. W.

There are about fifteen hundred more a-< gainst the negroes .A nropos to this, we observe that the Tax Collector of Anderson has made his final return to the Treasury, of the taxes collected? some $15,000?out of which $189 was paid ' by negroes. Prolific. % '* Ex-Gov. Orr's "message and atxompanying documents" to the Legislature, covered one hundred and ninety-six pages of printed matter. Not satisfied with this effort, under date of July 10th, he published an address to "The Peo ple of South } Carolina," in which he does not say outright, that , he has become a seeker after republican loaves and | fishes; but his best friends will find it difficult to arrive at any other construction of the argument used. Every Tub, &c. ( The New York Tril/unc (radical), was intensely interested in the proceedings of the Demoj cratic Convention in New York last week. It of. fered counsel by the bushel, as to who ought to be nominated?who stood the best chance for suc[ cess?and pronounced itself for Chase or Pendle| ton, at the same time being opposed to both. The t Tribunes gratuitous suggestions are somewhat ' funny. As Greeley, however, claims tc be a philanI thropist, perhaps these peculiarities of his, are , merely the irrepressible workings of his philanthro' py* , Grant and Grammar. 5 The biographers of Gen. Grant, who since , his nomination for the Presidency, have become as , numerous as Mother Cary's Chickens, are prefixing upon the title pages of their literature the followj ing extract from Grant's correspondence with Gen. I Buckner in relation to the surrender of Fort Donj elson, namely, "I propose to move immediately . upon your works!" Grant either intimated a t proposition to Buckner which implied that the as sent of the latter was required before he could move; or else he did not know the common use of the words employed, "Man propates, but God f disposes." So mote it be with Hiram Ulysses, j alias Uly.oes Samuel Grant's presidential aspira, tions. > Female Soldiers. f Strange as it may appear, there is a prevas lent and growing practice among nations, to make soldiers of females.

The first bill divides the State into eight circuits, which, of course, will necessitate the election of eight circu^: judges. It also provides for three terms in eacti County, each year, of the Courts of General Sessions aua Common Pleas; also the times and places of holding those courts in. each County.

"- ' PUBLIC MElJTEffi. In response to the invitation, of the Lewisville Democratic Club, there was a public meeting of the citizens of the District, in the Court House, on Monday last. There was but a small assemblage, owing, we suppose, to the short notice. ...Julius Mills, Esq.. Secretary of the Lewisville Club, was called to tneriChmr, and John A. Bradley, Jr., requested to act ;is Secyctary. After considerable discussion, a resolution was adopted appointing i committee of fifteen, to report to a mass-meeting of the citizens of the District, to be called on the first Monday in August next, a suitable constitution and proper officers for a Central Democratic Club; and also, to request General Hampton and other speakers to address the Democracy of Chester District, on the same day. The Committee was appointed, and the meeting adjourned. , i All /\P *V*/\ PnnpflwofltTo oit'irano nP flia niohirf I Ail V1 UIC \JV IIO^I TAMIV VIUHUIIO V*. M?W A'M'W <v> aro requested to meet at the Court House, on the first Monday in August next: TRAVELING C0MPAHI0H8. The season of the year has come when all those whose means will permit it, are inclined to make excursions somewhere out of the scorching heat of our Southern clime. One of the most important subjects which should be considered by those who are pining for the pleasures of travel and the delights of watering places?is the selection of a suitable traveling companion. Next to the selection of a partner for life, few things require more deliberation. There is no misery more acute than the discoveiy, at the end of the first day, that you abhor your traveling companion. The deadly gloom of thp conviction is only equalled by the discovery, shortly after marriage, that you arc yoked to a companion for life, whom you have ceased to admire. A traveling partnership is marriage without a honeymoon. There are no Arcadian dreams about it It is a leap in the dark, like marriage, with no chance of finding out your mistake until it is too late. The traveling companions cannot be divorced. The customsof society compel you to stick; together until the end, no matter how yqu have grown to hate each other. _ . .ai; Every little foible, every little weakness in our companion s character comes out before two days are passed, .and at the end of a week they become unbearable. If, for example, you -have a male companion who is fond of whistling, and is rather proud of his acquirements. A person of phlegmatic disposition, might stand it for a day or two, for it seems churlish and ridiculous to be put out by such a trifle, and the smiling offender is so altogether unconscious of his isms that it requires a good deal of moral courage tq remonstrate with him; but as the days pass, his whistling seems louder and harsher, and more incessant. What was at first a bore becomes an incarnate fiend to our excited nerves and the most ferocious antipathies arc excited. Fancy living in the intimacy of daily and hourly intercourse with such a demon, for nothing is so observant as dislike, and we soon discover, that he not only whistles like a steam engine, but he eats like a horse and drinks like the devil. Dissatisfaction once aroused, we find a thousand things to condemn. Perhaps he may turn out to be such a monster that he eats rice with his knife and picks his teeth with his fork. If such is the case, you had better break off from him at once, or ten to one you will cut each others throats before you return home. It is the experience of most men who have traveled much, that it is a rare exception to find a pleasant traveling companion of his own sex.? Something may be said in favor of female traveling companions. A man is not so apt to be offended with a woman's personal vanities, her endeavors to make herself agreeable to those around her, and her many little efforts to show off These things are very offensive in men, but we can bear them in women, as they do not clash with our personal vanities. We are not apt to know so much about each other and cannot see through each others disquiets as well, but per contra, our gallantry is taxed excessively by the perpetual demands on our selfabnegation. There are a thousand little services which are expected, and which give so much trouble. Wearied with a day's travel or excitement, we wish to elevate our heels and smoke our cigar in peace, when straightway there is a demand for us to escort the dear creatures somewhere or other, where we have a particular dislike to go. Such are a few of the minor quicksands which lie in the path of all of those who may seek a summer holiday. To travel with a friend is dangerous to friends, but to travel with strangers is generally weariness of soul. In view of either alternative, philosophy and experience teach us that to travel alone is best. .. _ . _ . : Bold Talk. " Hon. Frank P. Blair, the Democratic nominee for the Vice Presidency, in a recent speech said: :,,i "There is but one way to restore the. Government and the Constitution, and that is for the President elect to declare these acts null and void; compel the army to undo its usurpations at the South; disperse thecarpet-bag State Governments; allow the white people to re-organize their own governments, and elect Senators and Representatives. * * Shall we submit to the usurpations by which the Government has been overthrown, or shall we exert ourselves for its full and complete restoration? * * We must restore the Constitution before we can restore the finances, and to do this we must have a President who will execute the will of the people, by trampling into the dust the usurpations 01 Congress, known as the Reconstruction Acts." There is a dash of true grit in this, which we rather like. Ba?~ The war pressure has been so great in Brazil that the Emperor and Empress have contributed a quarter of their income to help the public purse, and the other members of tne Imperial family one-fifth Of theirs. At the same time, the Emperor has refhsed to have any exemption from the tax of three per cent on all earnings over six hundred dollars yearly, and pays that proportion on the revenue allowed him for the support of his State as head of the Empire. He shows himself the most democratic of Emperors?being rather 1 beyond Napoleon III in th? respect '? < a i " j rr COLUMBIA OONTBIBniPBIAl ~ BY JAH? wbo " OOLPHBIA^BOPTH (TAfcOLUlrfeTH JlW.1868. * Seynour, and Blair, * ' Every Democrat 111 C&umbisrendorsee the nom- ? ination heartily; thoroughly, and hoptfuJbf. ?

T b a communication signed J. u mat ^ rear may $ throw cold water upon the ney enterprise so rap- t idly growing into a well defined business, viz: that I of preparing dried fruit for market Without dis- 1 senting from J. C. C., or discussing the question 1 as to profits, I beg simply to remark that, if a man * is considered a benefactor of his raoe who makes < two blades of grass grow where only one grew be- \ fore, what may we think of a man, or a com muni- a ty who brings into the District $10,000 from the ? proceeds of a business that has hitherto not'pro- t duced $1,000. In other words, if a merchant of , Yorkville would induce the people to bring in all y the blackberries that are usually picked by the * birds, even at the low price of 50 cents per bushel, 1 you would be astonished at the amount of money 1 produced to those who gather them. Then when 8 the merchant manufactures the berries into wine, r and their refuse into cider, and puts them into fa market, the amount will be still greater and more 0 astonishing. Now aD this would be dear gain to ^ the people, because a spontaneous production of 81 the soil. There is no cost in raising them, and a 0 blessing because hundreds of boys and girls would g be getting wages to gather them, that would oth- d erwise be doing nothing. Some may object, and <* say that only those living near yottr town oouHbe -o engaged in gathering them, because convenient * for sale. I answer by no means?allcanhe efigaged. ^ Those too far to transport the ripie berriesj can :.i gather and dry them, and sell them just as^eadily. b By-the-bye, while on the subject, I am told there d is a live man in your town who proposes to give a fair market prices, fair not only dried blackberries, 81 but oil other kinds of dried fhiits. This isa strike ? in the right direction, as it will develop a business v in your District, which, from observation, I see ., has been totally neglected! It is this neglect of M what a kind Providence has so bountifully bestow- ? ed upon them, that induced me to reply to the re- |j marks of J. C. C. Now his calculation, regarding ^ the preparation of peaches and apples for market, h may have done well enough in pro-slavery times, p when each half grown boy and girl'were'engaged on the farm; hut now, when that class do not worit \r on the farm you can place no value on their labor, ju and you can get their sendees for a mere song.? $ Suppose you do not feel like paying out money to tl pare and dry fruit, are there not idle members'et. iP nough in each family to put in order maoy a bushel for market; or freedmeh enough on your place u doing nothing, that would gladly do it?ou shares? H. It might be well enough to say that it pays better ti to let the hogs have the fruit, but I am afraid there ? are too many farmers in our land that are not over? ,P stocked with swinish herds, whilst T know many jj that would prefer having a small stock arid that ^ stock not too well fed, for fear of their being bor* (j rowed without leave. f d J. C. C. wishes to know how to put up peaches d for market, Ac. Assort well, so as to be uniform' ? in quality and size. JPut in clean, sound barrels, 0 and perforate plentifully with augur boles. . Turn fl upper head of barrel down, take out Ipwer head, b commence packing by placing a layer with stem 4 ends down, then fill up the barrel without bruising f the fruit Shaking thoroughly but gently, and fill so full that the heading has to he preaabd down * upon the contents, which keeps them steadily in m place and avoids friction in, transportation. Peach- a es not fully, ripe will keep 10 or 12 days, and will P bear transportation during that time. Transport 5 tatiou about the same as a similar btowl ofotber 5 merchandise.
