George Wood, of Wabash, Indiana, who was recently blown up on the Glide, bad been blown up twice before. His first wife was killed a j week after matpoge by a carriage runaway; his third wife fell into a well and was not found for two weeks. He is the only one living of a family of seven children. ' 1 We notice the arrival, by the South America. of Messrs. Wm. P. McFadden and James W. < Miller and their families, all from Chester District, j South Carolina. They intend settling in Sao Paulo, near Santa Barbara. Mr. McFaaden informs us that Gen. S. D. Watson and family left Baltimore on the 20th of November, on his return trip to Brazil, with Capt Kane, of the barque Cricket. Brazilian Reflector. President Johnson intends, shortly after be goes out of office, to make a visit to Europe. The offer of a passage was lately made him by oue of the German line of steamers, and the offer was ao- i cepted by Mr. Johnson. It is his purpose, imme- j diately after the 4th of March, to make a brief j visit to Tennessee, with the view of arranging his affairs, and he will sail for Europe about the first ' of April. The Augusta Chronicle <fc Sentinel, of the ' 19th, has a long article on "the great railroad war" 1 ?the litigation between the South Carolina and i the Columbia and Augusta Itoilroads; in which, ( after arguing pro and con, it winds up with a state ment that Presidents Magrath and Johnston, of the rival roads, are to hold a conference in mat f city daring the present week, and a satisfactory < arrangement is hoped for. General Grant, upon being interrogated by < one of the inauguration committee, stated that j under no consideration would he ride to the capi- , tol in company with President Johnson. The rea- ( son assigned was that Johnson had attacked his (Grant's) veracity, and he could not, therefore, 1 recognize him. President Johnson, however, does ' not propose to meddle in the affair, and he is i not likely to push himself into the society of Gen. Grant, the contempt in the case being mutual. A Washington dispatch of Friday to the Baltimore Sun says: "General Grant's purpose ; with regard to his Cabinet has at last been divulg- 1 ed. It is reported to-day, and upon the very best : authority, that the first intimation any one will re- < ceive with regard to his appointments wiD he in < the official communication to the Senate on March ] 5th. If his appointees are confirmed, their names ; will be announced; if they are rejected, he will request that no announcement be made. The scores of members who are anxious for Cabinet appointments are not at all pleased with the well-understood purpose of the President elect in this re- i - spect' In Arkansas, Elder Knapp, while "baptiz- , ing" converts at a revival meeting, advanced with a wiry, sharp-eyed old chap into the water. He asked the usual question, whether there was any 1 reason why the ordinance of baptism should not be < administered. After a pause, a tall, powerful ; looking chap, with an eye like a blaze, who was ; leaning on a long rifle and quietly looking on, remarked, "Elder, I don't want to interfere in this yere business any, but I want to say that is an old sinner you have got hold of, and I know that one dip won't do him any good. If you want to get the sin out of him, you'll have to anchor him out in deep water over night." The remarkable mildness of the present winter extends over both Europe and America. Par is Das Deen experiencing quite summer weatner, and in the south of England. cherries were gathered in the middle of December, primroses and oth- ' er flowers were in full bloom, and rosebuds, ready i to unfold their petals, were seen in many gardens on Christmas day, while the birds were busy nestbuilding. Russia is an exception to the rule. The , weather there is severe, arid snow storms have ! been very heavy. In St. Petersburg it was twelve : feet deep, and accounts from the provinces state i that whole villages are buried under the drifts. General Longstreet, who is in Washington, was upon the floor of the House of Representatives Monday afternoon, at first seated writing at a desk vacated for him by a Republican member. In a short time he was discovered and soon surrounded by both Republicans and Democrats, and cordially shaken by the hand. One Republican member said to General Longstreet: "General, we have ' admired your courage and bravery in the field, but we esteem your recent oourse in matters of politi- 1 cal interest to the South as of a higher oraer of courage than that which you displayed in battle." ( Longstreet bowed in acknowledgment of this and other compliments bestowed upon him. The St. Louis papers give the particulars of a peculiarly atrocious child murder which took place in that city last week. It seems that one Sebastian Hupfer, a shoemaker, had an attack of insanity, during which he conceived the devil was in his dog, and that by killing him he would perform a righteous seivice. He accordingly despatched the canine. A while after, the shoemaker imagined the devil was in one of his children, a little girl eight vears of age. Calling her to him, he seized her, placed a strap around her neck, threw her to the floor, placed nis foot on her head, and taking a knife, cut out her heart, and swallowed the coagulated blood. He was arrested some time after committing the deed, being found in his own house with the door fastened; Hupfer made no effort to conceal his guilt, but gave a straightfoiward history of the affair, manifesting no regret at the occurrence. He stated that by drinking the child's blood he would never want food, ana that he felt justified in the course he had pursued. He had not tasted food since committing the foul deed, claiming that he will want do more nourishment the remainder of his life. He will probably be sent to the insane asylum. The "iron-clad oath," which Congress long ago enacted, seems destined to cause quite as much inconvenience to the public interests as to those who are deprived by it from taking office. The Post Office Department continues to be in a quandary about it, there being many post office towns in the Southern States in which nobody can be found who is able to take it. So unanimously do the Southern people seem to be averse to peijuiy, that the Post Office Department is compelled to apply to Congress for relief, and a bill introduced by Mr. Xorris is now before the House Committee on Reconstruction, providing for the appointment of postmasters in places where nobody will swear the "iron-clad oath." According to this bill, the fact must he established, in the first place, to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General, that "no person can be procured to act as postmaster for such office" who will take the oath in question. i i h= SSod the bill /jxpQMfe: provided how h# shall be Bat^fied of this. It is to be dote by mote swearuup; "by qpdavits t4j he filed' ana preserved." i Fust, all thejpbabitanfe of such village are^to be swear the "irorvclad oirth" and take the post office. - Upoa the- refival-of every one to do so, all of the inhabitants are to be asked to swear i that none of them can or will swear die said oath, 1 and all the oaths that no such oath can be taken , are to be "filed and preserved" by the United i States. Then, and then only, the Postmaster* General may look out for some "loyal," yweM*dispemd,'' a ad ia nfhsr mirror ''not djannslififlri" J Srson for postmaster. Here, as the Baltimore I m Bays, iscircumloetition with a vengeance, and , the more there is of it, the greater are the em bar- ( rassments which are disclosed. The New York , Evening Post, a leading-Republican journal, suggests that a simple repeal of the iron-clad oath would solve all these difucaltiofl, and speaks of the ' oath itself as a "mere sieve to catch men with a i sonscienoe, and to let men through without it It. ouvht to be called a law to prevent men of truth ana good repute from holding any office in the States lately in rebellion." ike ? tfjupum.

On'last Thursday, the 18th' instant, Messrs. rhomson & Jefferys, assignees, made the Mowing nlea of lands belonging to bankrupts, at the Court House in this place: One tract of 51 acres, belonging to estate of D. < E. Thomas, at $4.05 per acre; bought by J. A. Fhomas. '. :> , One traot of 240 acres, belonging to estate of Samuel Black, at $10.95; bought by Jts. M.

Reid, one of 161} acres, at $6.00, and one of 39 acres, at $2.10; bought by S. L. Keid. One tract of 47 acres, belonging to the same estate, at $6.20; bought by R. C. Reid. At the same time and place, two shares of King's Mountain Railroad stock were sold at $8.50 per share. N. C. AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. The Raleigh Sentinel, of the 22nd instant, says the call for an Agricultural Convention to be held in that city on the 20th, was a decided success. A large number were in attendance, and a State Agricultural Society was fully organized. The Sentinel promises an aooount of the proceedings, a synopsis of which we will publish, when it appears, for the benefit of those of our readers who take an interest in the important subject of Southern agriculture. There can be no doubt that these organizations are a benefit to the States, or counties, where they ajfist There is no agency better adapted to the . work of originating and extending improved methods of farming than such a society. It brings together men of every way of thinking; the advocates and the opponents of every novelty here meet to discuss its merits and report their varying experience. Nothing can pass the ordeal successfully, without being thoroughly ventilated and proving itself in 6ome degree worthy of confidence. In proof of this, it may be stated that the science of farming is better understood and more profitably practised in those localities which sustain such societies, than in those without them. And it is reasonable that such should be the case; for where every man is forced to the necessity of learning everything by his own experience, progress must be muoh slower than where the experience of each is made the oommon property of all, through the medium of a society for the discussion of topics in which all are interested. Another prominent advantage of an agricultural 1 society is the influence it can exert over the Legislature of its State. Being of course supposed to understand the wants of the great farming community, its suggestions and petitiona are listened 1 to with a respect not always granted to individual or miscellaneous petitions. It is, therefore, in a position to look after the interests it represents, and protect them from ignorant legislation. There are many other considerations in favor of agricultural societies; but as we do not wish to weary the reader, we will reserve some for future . occasions, believing that opinions, like medicines, are best administered in broken doees. We hope the day is not far distant when Sooth Carolina will enjoy the benefits of agricultural societies as fully as any of her sister States, and York may as well take the. lead as any other county. Our citizens were not slow to organize political clubs when they seemed to be needed, and now that they have ceased to expect any benefit from political organizations, let them, like their neighbors in other States, seek for renewed prosperity in oombined efforts for making fanning more profitable. REVOLUTION IN CUBA. The island of Cuba is at present in a ferment, in consequence of an insurrectionary movement to throw off the yoke of Spain. The discontent is very general, and the ranks of the insurgents are being rapidly recruited, The troops of the government have their hands full, though no general actions have yet been reported. Havana is practically in a state of siege, and Americans there are trying to get away, which is found to be a matter of some difficulty. In one case, the United States Consul having applied for a pass-port for a naturalized citizen, the latter was arrested, and the consul was informed that the government could not recognize his right to apply for pass-ports. The consul has applied to Washington for the intervention of his government, and thus a ground for interfering in the affairs of Cuba has been furnished to the United States. Tbe Cuban governor has been reinforced with troops from SpaiD, and still more are expected soon. He is, therefore, acting with vigor, arresting suspected persons and sending out strong detachments to put down opposition and stop the general pillaging committed by gangs of banditti, who have taken advantage of the unsettled state of the country to plunder friends and foes indiscriminately. As a general thing, the insurgents are native Cubans; but many Spaniards and Mexicans are said to be among them. At their approach, the proprietors and laborers abandon the plantations, which are then given up to pillage and destruction. However the insurrection may terminate, the in/lAmmnniftr trill Kp T7PTTI SA* JUIJT IU tu& ^ioinilig WIUUIUIMVJ nii4 WV fv.^ ? vere. A not improbable result may be the annexation of Cuba to the United States, a scheme which has altfays had many supporters in this country. The immediate practical consequence of the revolt will be an advance in the price of sugar and molasses. Cuba, in 1867, produced nearly onethird of all the sugar made in the world, and the crop of last year is reported as good, though it is likely to be lost to the world. The price of this article has already gone up in New York, and the press of that city are agitating the question of reducing the tariff on sugar, to prevent a total loss of revenue therefrom, and a serious burden upon consumers. i " \ ~ r~7 1 CONGRESSIONAL jTEVS. * 1 During the week, the House has passed thefol- ] [owing bills, among others: 1 A bill requiring hational banki to make mdbth- 1 ly and semi-annual reports. A bill prohibiting J national banks from certifying checks, where they 1 have not deposits of the parties covering the 1 amounts of said checks; a bill to prevent national 1 banks from loaning money with United _ States^or ( national bank notes a* collateral security} (th$j bill I also passed the. Senate) i a bill jremoving t^po- i litical disabilities of a large number of Southern j atizens; a bill to prohibit the farther increase of ] the national debt; a new internal revenue tax bill, | which, it is said, covers 600 pages. In the Senate, the Judiciary Committee teport- ! ed that the President's late general amnesty pro- 1 clamation was not authorized by th6 Constitution 1 or the laws. The Suffrage Amendment, as amended by the Senate, was sent to the House; but the House re - .? . .m n fused to concur, and it was sent bacx to tne senate, with a call for a committee of conference. The Senate then receded from its previous amendments so far as to strike out the prohibition of an educational or property qualification by the States, and passed the following substitute, by a two-thirds vote: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote or hold office shall not be abridged by the United States, or any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The amendment now goes back to the House for concurrence. On the 18th, a proposition to pay Southern Senators for the whole term of the 40th Congress, after some discussion, was laid , over, the opinion being freely expressed in debate, that they were entitled to pay only from the date of their admission. The Senate does not seem disposed to allow "back rations" to these gentry, although they are very clamorous to reoeive them. On the same day, a bill to abolish the franking privilege, after July 1st, 1869, was defeated, in the Senate, by a vote of 16 ayes to 18 noes. So the people will continue to pay the postage of Congressmen. a ;c.-v ? ? . f . GEN. GRANT'S ACCEPTANCE., (1J : The anxiety of the pubhc to get a speech from country as a President acceptable to tne wnoie people, and not merely as the successful candidate of one political party. May we not venture to indulge the hope, now that the excitement of the Presidential campaign has thoroughly died out, that Gen. Grant's election is not the worst thing that could have happened for the country? Although this event at first appeared to the people of the South in the light of another defeat, will it not, in reality, prove a material benefit to them ? The animosity of the Radical party has been greatly appeased thereby, as is abundantly shown by the moderated tone of their leading journals. The South, too, has learned from the lesson that her prosperity, as a section, does not depend so much upon political revolutions, as upon the proper development of the energies of her people at home. Let us, then, cordially endorse the action of Mr. Pruyn, in tendering to Gen. Grant the hearty support of his late opponents, so long as he stands firm to the pledges given in his acceptance. Our people should cease to regard him as a candidate elected in opposition to their wishes, and learn to look upon him as our President, as well as that of the Radical party. He has shown a desire to be so considered, and it is but fair that he should be met half way, in the same spirit. MERE-MENTION.

The Southern Almanac... Messrs. Walker, Evang & Cogswell, of Charleston, have favored us with a copy of their "Southern Almanac" for 18fi9,neatly bound and interleaved with blank pages for memorandums,. &a It is a useful, as. well as ornamental, publication, containing a mass of valuable information relative to the Governmental, Judiciary and Churoh organization of South Carolina and other Southern States. Cotton Crop Shorter than it Seems. A correspondent of the Macon (Ga.) Journal and Messenger thinks that the cotton crop of 1868 is considerably less than it would seem to be from the number of bales reported, in oonsequenoe of the average weight of balee being thirty pounds lighter than in former years. This difference in weight willtnake a diflerenoe of 75,000,000 pounds, or 150,000 bales of 500 pounds each, in a crop of 2,500,000 bales, reducing it to 2,350,000 bales. The reason assigned for the light weight of bales last year, is the fact that the bagging and rope, or ties, yield a profit of some two dollars per bale* at '1 1 ' l ?1? ?1. -V /uim/vrf h.? Kami .tmtiainff. on6 mgn pnwu wmvu wvwh u?o wwu W(aM0...0. In other words, planters have been making a little speculation on the difference between the cost of bagging and ties and their price when sold as port of a cotton bale. Another Pardon Rumored. The New York Citizen mentions a rumor that the President is abont to pardon T. C. Cafficot, once a* collector of Internal Revenue in Sooth Carolina, but now engaged in the study of the mechanic arts at Sing-Sing, N. Y. The Citizen rather favors the idea, as it says Callicot was made a victim to save a ring of whiskey thieves, who used him as a tool. It thinks his release would cause a rush to Canada, on the part of certain gentleman in New York, for fear of revelations he could, and probably would, make. The Citizen is wrong. Mr. Callicot may have been a tool; but he can scarcely be considered a martyr. If he allowed himself to be used as an instrument of fraud, he Is in the right place, and the fact that there are bigger rascals outside of jail is a poor argument for his release." The same reasoning would clean out all the jails and penitentiaries in the land. Newberry Immigration Society. The Newberry Herald says that one hundred and seventy immigrants have been brought into Newberry, Laurens and Edgefield Counties through the instrumentality of the above society, since its formation. The interest in its operations is increasing, and applications for labor arc flowing in constantly. It believes the next year will give a large increase to the population from this source, and this increase will consist of a useful class of citizens, if they are properly treated by the people among whom they settle. From the above statement, it seems that the Newberry Immigration Society is successfully performing the object for which it was organized. There are many other communities in the State, badly in need of strong frames and willing hands, to assist in increasing the product of their lands, which might, by proper exertion, secure a similar infiux of serviceable immigrants. Remains of the Lincoln Conspirators. The government has followed up its action in the case of Mrs. Snrratt, by restoring to their friends the bodies of all the persons executed for complicity in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. The box containing the remains of J. Wilkes Booth was taken up from the Arsenal in Washington, where it bad been buried, and delivered to the parties authorized to receive it. The lid being removed, the skeleton was found wrapped in the blanket which had been sewed round the body before interment The remains were taken to Balti more and buried in the Oreenmount Cemetery, near the grave of his father, Junius Brutus Booth. The friends of Captain Wire being poof, Mr. Schade, their agent, will not apply for the body of their unfortunate relative, until he can collect snfficient funds to pay the expenses of re-interment. As Captain Wire was, in a manner, made ft sacrifice to atone for the sins of the whole Confederacy, it is probable that the requisite sum will soon be collected from friends of the government for whose fault he lost his life. The Loyal League. This secret organization is not quite defunct yet A paragraph in the News, of the 18th inst., states that-a meeting of the brotherhood was to be held that evening, at the Military Hall in Charleston, to eoncoct measures for infusing new life into the "Ioil leeg" and rendering it a more efficient machine in future political contests in the State. It was rumored that the Legislature would be applied to for a charter to make the league a permanent institution. The impression had been very generally gaining ground that the Loyal League had imperceptibly dissolved into thin ?)r, like the shadowy apparition of its mysterious antagonist, the Ku Klux Klan. It is likely, however, that the wish was father to the thought, in this instance, and that the League is only in a mesmeric slumber. The Roderick of the concern has only to give "one blast upon his bugle horn," and his dusky legions will spring from every brush-heap in the country, galvanized into new life, and armed with ballots which might as well be written in the choicest Hebrew, so far as tbey can tell, to exercise the glorious right of suffrage. The Negro Inauguration Ball. Gen. Grant has expressed a wish that there shall be no inauguration ball; but the probabilities are that his wish will be disregarded, as there is a prospect for two balls, one for the whites, and another for the irrepressible colored population of Washington. This arrangement appears to be a kind of compromise, in response to Grant's prayer "let ns have peace." The question of admitting negroes to the inauguration ball bad been broached and had, moreover, stirred up a storm in the Rad ical fraternity. ; Some of the true-blue, loyal stripe rather liked the plau; but the greater portion experienced certain uneasy sensations in the region of the stomach, at the idea of inhaling the peculiar perfume which would emanate from a score or two of Etbiopic gentlemen enthusiastically "cutting the pigeon wing" for the delectation of their favorite damsels. So it was first proposed to sell tickets at ten dollars, on the supposition that the price would exclude the hue so lovely at the polls, but so obnoxious in the ball room. But some malicious Democrats began raising collections for the express purpose of providing tickets for a few colored beaus, to test the question of perfect social equality. This proceeding fairly non-plussed the managers; but the negroes have gracefully relieved their embar Gen. Grant has at length been gratinea. rvaen the Congressional committee came to hia -headquarters to give him official notification of his election to the Presidency, den. Grant broke through the reserve that has heretofore characterized him, and made qnite a speech. It moat be confessed that his remarks, though they fail to satisfy the curiosity of politicians as to his cabinet, are in good taste, sensible, and full of promise for a just and equitable administration of the trnst committed to him. As reported by the National Intdligencer, Gen. Grant spoke as follows: "I can promise the committee that it will be my endeavor to call around me as assistants such men only as I think will a$rry out the principles which yon have said the country desires to be successful ?economy, retrenchment, faithful collection of the revenue, and payment of the public debt. If I should fail in my first choice, I shall not at any time hesitate to make a second, or even a third trial, with the concurrence of t he Senate, who have the confirming power. I should just as soon remove one of my own appointees as the appointee of my predecessor. It would make no difference. There is one matter that I might properly speak of here, and that is the selection of a cabinet. I have always felt that it would be rather ind< licate to announce or even to consult with the gentlemen whom I thought of inviting to positions in my cabinet before the official declaration of the election was made, although I presumed there was no doubt about what tnat declaration would be. But after consideration, I have come to the conclusion, that there is not a man in the country who oould be invited to a place in the cabinet without the friends of some other gentleman making an effort to secure the position; not that there would be any objection to the partv named, but that there would be others whom they had set their hearts upon having in the place. I can say that much from the great number of requests which come to me, in writing and otherwise, for this particular person, or that one, from different sets and delegations. If announced in advance, efforts would De made to change my determination; and, therefore, I have come to the conclusion not to announce whom I am going to invite to seats in the cabinet until I send in their names to the Senate for confirmation. If I say anything to them about it, it will certainly not be more than two or three days previous to sending in their names. I think it well to make a public declaration of this to the committee, so that my intentions m*y be known." At the conclusion of these remarks, Mr. Pruyn, of New York, the only Democratic member of the committee, replied to the President elect, congratulating him on his election and assuring him of the hearty support of the Democratic party, so long as he adheres to the principles announced in his acceptance of the Presidency. ? ^ 0 ' THE DEMOCRACY AND GET?. GRANT. Gen. Grant will begin his administration under the most favorable auspices, having the support of the' party which opposed, as well as of that which elected, him. Taking the remarks of Mr. Pruyn, in response to Gen. Grant's acceptance speech, as expressive of the sentiments of the entire Democratic party, the President elect stands before the t. i r L raasmeut^by starting a project for-a ball of tfceir own, whe$e they will havi the privilege of executing the ^doubhp shuffle," heel and'toe" and other familti wohiillw, ahhillt the e*jK"ebandon & J&eiL?ce> unmolested by the presence, of "white folks." . Adjournment 0f the Legislature. No date has yet been fixed for the adjour i ment of the South Carolina Legislature. A few days, ago, a concurrent resolution was adopted in .the Senate to adipurn to-day, but. it was.lakLoa the table in the House. There is a large amount of unfinished business before the House, which will delay adjournment for at least ten days. A correspondent of the Charleston News, writing with inference to the work before the House, and the matter of adjournment, says: "In addition to the heavy aocnmnlatioo of work, the Appropriation bill for the payment of salaries of State officers, judges, constabulary, jurors, claims against the State and contingent expenses, has not as yet been introduced. The General Assembly cannot adjourn without passing such a bill. That of itself will require nine days without discussion. The Committee of Wavs and Means of the House, it is reported, have nad it for some t.wn wwpkn in mrarfla of nrenaration. and. it is Said, are about reader to report." .?.? White Labor. :!?>*'" The Columbia correspondent of the New York Time* thus alludes to the progrewo# the ho* migration movement in South Carolina: 'The agencies are private, and the Tesaks are deckled and will tell in time. An association?one as an instance or example of several others ef a like kind?iu the town of Newberry, near the; centre of the State, is now introducing German laborers in this way, at the rate of fifty a month. A number of planters met at the court bouse several months ago, conferred upon the matter, agreed that white labor would pay, formed an association, appointed an agent, paid each a hundred dollars as a beginning fund, and the., work commenced. The agent began by vetting first small numberssix, eight, ten or a dofcen at a time?and, from month to month, brought on after more; hit number of immigrant laborers for January being just fifty. And thus the work will go on until May or thereabouts, wheq the.dfimandior. tbi$, jear will stack off, to be renewed in'the autumn for" next year. I am informed by a mettiber of this Newberry association that the laborers already in Sett vice do at least fifty per cent more work than negroes. The result is easy to be seen?the negro must give place to the Saxon and the Teuton. He must move nearer and nearer .to the coast, where" on account of the malaria, the whites will be slower to go. Those persons Who expect largely of the negro, tell me that it will stimulate the negro to do fifty per cent more work." HEW ADVEBTI8EMEIT8., . M. Jones, Deputy Collectors-Tax Notice, T. M.

Nixon, whose experience in the business makes him the very man of all others who knows just how to manage a circus so as to make it popular, gave its first performance for some years, in this city, last evening, in the presence of one of the largest assemblages of people ever collected beneath a canvass. The minor features Of the performance were excellent Messrs. Shappy and Witney proved themselves worthy of their title of "extraordinary gymnasts.'' The clowns were sparkling with witticisms and kept the audience in the best of humor ; the gymnastic and acrobatic feats were deserving the prolonged rounds of applause which they received, and the whole show was one of the most meritorious ever exhibited. The great feature of the entertainment, however, was Robinson, the champion rider of the world, whose skill ip bareback riding has never been equalled, and but few of his feats ever attempted bv lesser fights of the arena. Many years-nave elapsed since we have had the pleasure of witnessing his matchless, daring and beautiful horsemanship ; bnt he is still the same?-has not lost one iota of grace or of his steadiness of nerve. He gave one of his most splendid performances last night, and was greeted, asjie always is, with bud applause, the'testimony or tne apprecianon 01 nis uneqaallwTskill by the public.. In the set where he carries: his little sob* Clarence, on his head, horse, man and boy .ell look as though carved from one solid piece, and go whirling around the ring, retaining their positions apparently as easily as most people walk. The rapid bareback act, during which somersauhs were thrown both forward ana backward, was perfectly wonderful. It is hard to say anything of Robinson that has not alreadv been said. We can only add our tribute to the numerous others which have been paid him. His little boy Clarence, a beautiful child, is a very embodiment of infantile grace, and is perfect in all that he attempts. The circus will exhibit again this afternoon and evening, and none should fail to see it?Savannah Nact. ... ? > ? ? For the Yorkvllle Enquirer, t. . UNION COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. ORCHARDS?FARMING PROSPECTS?DIXON COTTON SEED?AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES. I would suggest to the farmers of the country, that they lose no time in improving their orchards. Until the sap begins to rise, grafting can be done subcessfully. Our country needs a greater abundanoe of good winter apples. We might, at a little cost and trouble, improve all our varieties of fruit. He who plants and cultivates a good orchard. is a benefactor. Let the orchard be attended to. Our farmers seem to be in earnest this year. They have generally gone to work in earnest. The high price of cotton and the great want of money, are powerful incentives. We hope that every one will endeavor to raise provision supplies, however. Although cotton may be King, bread and bacon are his Prime Ministers, and his sceptre is not much without the support of these. Will each one, before planting, work this problem out ? Will it pay to raise cotton at twenty-live cents, and buy tvirn ha/vm and flour, at the present prices ? The Dixon cotton seed are attracting some attention in our community. Many farmers will try them this year. This is a move in the right direction. We need the best seed of everything, the best agricultural implements, and the best modes of farming, A few enthusiastic men, in each county, would do the people much g^od by trying various kinds of seeds and labor-saving machines, and letting the result be known.;: Suoh men are commonly called crazy by the old-fashioned, slow people; but our country would be much better off, if ten times as many were affected by the same kind of madness. Enthusiastic, earnest men are needed in every department. Why not start up some agricultural societies ? They would pay much better than political clubs. They might be the means of interesting the people, as well as benefitting them. Our fanners generally proclaim them humbugs. We only know that the most thriving agricultural districts have these societies, and that they are not found where old fogyism abounds, and book-farming is laughed at. Let us try them. ' P.
