JiteM $iilellipm\ 'M^?LT?M^ DEPARTMENT. Letter from Hon. Wm. H. Trescot. Pexdletox, February i, 1S67. To Maj. Seaborne, President Pcndle? ton Agricultural Society. Dear Sir:?In reply to your inquiries . as to the appropriation by tho Legislature of the grant of certain public lands, for educational purposes, I submit the fol? lowing statement of the action of the Senate and House. The words of the act making the grant, are as follows: ? To the endowment, support and main? tenance of at least one college, where the loading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as aro related to ? agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the Legislatures of the the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote tho liberal and practi? cal education of the industrial classes, in tho several pursuits and professions in life." And, it is further provided, that no part of the fund arising from this grant, shall be used for tho purpose of putting np buildings, buying land, &a, &c. The General Assembly, at its extra session, accepted the conditions of the grant by a joint resolution, but the Secre? tary of the Interior declined to deliver tho land scrip until the acceptance was Completed by an Act. At tho late regu? lar sessiori,.the necessary Act was passed, but tho actual delivery of the scrip and its cortvesion into money in tho hands of the State authorities, have not yet been accomplished. In tho- mean time, however, a Special Committee of the Senate and Houso, to ?whom tho matter had been referred at the extra session,reported to the General Assembly at the regular session, a Bill by which this fund, when realized, should be invested in tho hands of tho Trustees of tho Stato University at Columbia, to be by.them used in the endo wment of a College for scientific and mechanical edu? cation, "Which" should form a part of the University. Thero were before its pas? sage, one or two amendments, to which, it is unnecessary to refer, as they did not affect the main purposo of the Bill. "When the Bill came before tho House for discussion, there woro three proposi? tions before that body. 1. The Bill itself, appropriating this fund to tho University. * 2. An Amendmont, moved by Goncrnl Hagood? to appropriate it to tho Military Schools. 3. -An Amendment, moved by nie, to make flo appropriation of the fund until Jt was actually in our possession, but to refer it to a Commission of five members of the Houso and three members of the Senate, to report what was the best mode la-which the fund could be appropriated, to carry out tho purposos of the Act of Congress. This last amendment I urged upon the House for tho lolloWing reasons: 1. Becauso tho appropriation to the University, was not a compliance with the conditions of the grant, for " the lead? ing object" of the University was not u to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the me? chanic arts"?it had no system of " mili iary tactics"?and it was neither designed nor fitted for " tho liberal and practical education of the industrial classes." 2. That the same objections applied, with almost cljual force, to the Military Schools, and that to attach the grant to either of these institutions, wooid be to authorizes very unnecessary and embar? rassing interference on the part of the General Government, with their rules and regulations, which, as thoy now stood, were entirely and absolutely within the . control of the State, and, for very obvi? ous reason, ought to be kept. 3. Because, I believed that a special institution, for teaching tho scientific el? ements of agricultural and mechanical education, was necessary to carry out the purposes of the grant?that such an in? stitution properly organized aud judi? ciously situated, would be of incalculable service in developing tho farming capa ? bilitiesof the Stato. and placing the means of useful, practical instruction ?within tho reach of thousands who could not tako advantage of the costly applian? ces of University culture. I believed, also, that such an institution could not judiciously bo placed either in the low country, where under any system of labor, culture could only be successful with largo plantations, or in the staple region ?f the middle country. But that it ought to be situated where there was the Lar? gest population of small farmers, in that section where we might hope for the first arrival of that white immigration wbieh the State SO much needs, for there it would* hayo ample field for immediate J and beneficial action, and would further serve as no small incent.ivo to. the immi? gration of independent and industrious whito labor.. 4'. That this appropriation was a matter of large interest to the people of tho State?that public attention had not been ? directed to it, and that, as the money had not been received, no possible harm oauld result from a fuller discussion by 4 the people, of the advantages of all the plans proposed, and a determination of the next Legislature, after such discus? sion, of which was best. Tho appropriation to the Military Schools, which was ably urged by Gen. Hagood and Maj. Warloy, having been lost, the Bill was so amended by the ju dicions motions of Gov. Bon ham, of the Edgefield, and Mr. Duryea, of the Char? lesron delegations, that the fund was directed to~bc invested in the hands of the Treasurer of tho State, and a Com? mission appointed to report hereafter on its appropriation. The Senate refused to concur in this action of the House, and having passed a Bill similar in its features to that re? jected by the House, this Senate Bill was taken up for action on Friday night, when the House reversed its former de? cision, and by a largo vote, 34 to 57,1 think, passed tho Senate Bill, appropria? ting this fund to tho University. Al? though tho absence of many who were opposed to tho Bill, made this great dis? proportion in the vote, it is but proper that I should say, that I believe the vote in its result, was tho fair expression of the opinion of the Legislature. I co not think that there can be an}' doubt, that in tho opinion of tho present General Assembly, this appropriation of the fund, is the best aud wisest. And, it is but just for me further to sh}-, that Col. naskcll and Mr. Barker, who urged the appropri? ation to the University with great zeal and ability, did so with equal fairness.? They thought this appropriation within the conditions of tho grant, and that the establishment of the College, in connec? tion with tho University, would lay sure? ly and broadly the foundations of "such a system of scientific education, as would gradually and successfully reach " tho in? dustrial classes," for whom this grant was especially intended. I differ with them. I cannot see in this appropriation of the fund, anything less than a misappropriation, and a very injudicious one. I have no desiro to weaken tho usefulness of the University, but 1 think} that in the present condition .of the State, the special instruction which the proper uso of this fund could provide, is of inestimable importance to our peo? ple. And if.you can execute the plan you proposo; if from [individual gener? osity and patriotism, you can obtain the means which, added to this grant, will onablo you to establish on solid founda? tions, such a Collego, for agricultural and mechanical instruction, as you design, I cannot but think, that th? Legislature will reconsider its act^n, and give you tho full benefit of tho only grant ever made to the industrial classes of this Stato, which promises largo and perma? nent results. The resolution of Congress, not to allow this grant to tho States un? represented at present, will afford you ample time to perfect your own plans, and to submit tho whole question to a new Legislature! Very Respectfully, WM. H. TRESCOT. -<j? Our Faejiers.?There is no class of men to which wc are more indebted for the fruits of their industry and the various comforts of life, than the honest hard wor? king farmers. To them is confided a trust which cannot be computed in dollars and cents alone, nor over-estimated in any t rue summary of real merit. To them be? longs the task of tilling the soil, of mowing the seeds and reaping the bountiful har? vests. Tis their privilege, also, to gather the first and choicest fruits of our land, and it is from their over abundant supply that we have to look for our limited por? tions. It is from the overflow of their garners *hat we receive our bread-stuff, and it is only from what they have to spare that our whole living is derived. Ask who it is that feeds the thousnuds crowded together in our great cities; who supplies the bountiful board of the rich and affluent who serve their friends. Is it not from the great granary of the farmer that the bulk of the luxuries come? It may be safely answered, yes. Yet while the* farmer occupies an honored and impor? tant station, and is .blessed with the good things of the earth, there are still lessous lor him tojadopt, which may yet add to his prosperit)'. Utility in farming is is im? portant to success as it is in any other branch of business; the great difference "being in the judgement of men to discrimi? nate when this reform or that economy is really needed. Farming it is true is not without its defects, but m most cases may be attributed to an oversight in its man? agement. -o-;?: Don't Cultivate Land without 31a nure.?There appears to be a good deal of sound sense in tho following statement from thq Southern Cultivator: " It costs you on average soils, ten dol? lars or more, to make an acre of corn with hired labor, and fifteen or more to make and gather an acre of cotton. If you do not look closely after your hands, it will cost you a good deal more than that Now, every acre cultivated, that will not yield crops worth at least the above amounts, will not only be no profit but run you. in debt. Large crops still are required, to obtain a profit on hired labor. Lands, then, which will not yield such crops, we must let them rest, or ma? nure them sufficiently, or we lose money. ' At least half of our poorest soil hitherto devoted to corn and cotton, should bo thrown out to rest, and the balance en? riched. How long will it take us to ex? haust what little capital we have left, if for every aore on which wo can make a net profit of ten dollars, wo continue to cultivato five, which lack from three to ten dollars each of meeting tho actual cost of cultivation. There are few lands j which will not yield a profit, if commer [ cial manures are judiciously applied. Food for Animals. One vast source of food for farm ani? mals is an entire loss to the vast portions of the South, a part of Virginia and Ten? nessee being the only exceptions?we allude to tho corn stalk. As invariably practiced In the South the stalk is left to dry and rot or to be burned when dry in tho field. In the North the stalk is cut down while the blades are green nnd put up in shocks in the field, being supported by some few stalks not cut, tho tops brought together and tied, the cut corn stood up all around and when a shock is completed tied thus, thero to cure, and when corn is diy it is i: husked," or as we call it, "shucked," hauled into the house and the stalks also, the latter passed through a cutting box, steamed and fed to stock. Those who have bestowed attention to tho matter know that more flour is made from wheat ( cut when tho grain is in tho dough state before ripe, when the milk of grain has matured into firmness just to a dough, mashing by' thumb and finger, than if the grain be permitted to ripen in tho field. At the same time stalk and blade has nutritive matter where, as when fully ripe, this nutritive matter is used up in forming the woody matter of the stem. All grain for feeding should be cut ten or fifteen days before maturity, because all tho food giving principles is there and the indigestible woody fibre has not been made at tho expense of the sugar and gum in the plant; of course, if there bo woody matter largely found in the corn stalk," thero was largely of sugar and gum to make this, and it has been made to tho loss of tho principles which are ndvantagcons as food. Many think the corn will shrivel up and thero will be a great loss. Wc know not how it will do in the South but we have seen hundreds and hundreds Of acres cut down at the North and wc have no doubt that all corn on thriving farms is so done. If oats be cut ten days before ripe we know the stalk will all be eaten if cut up, or better threshed and cut up, a little meal and salt water added. If there bo nutrition in the stalk of oats why not in the stalk of corn? There is no doubt of tho fact that for feeding purposes, if small grain be cut at a proper time, ten or fif? teen days before ripe, that they are great? ly superior feeding and we canhot see why corn is an exception.. Corn is but the mammoth grass; all grasses, wc be? lieve, give moro nutritive matter if cut before ripe. Why should corn be an ex? ception ? Our fathers knew a great deal and they aro worthy of imitation, in all tiiat is right at least, but they may not have known everything, and wc should improve on what the}' have bequeathed us. Wc have a firm faith that in ten years we, of the South, will be on tho highway of prosperity, and in twenty-five years or less, tho South will again be thecon troling spirit in this extended nation, or whatever is the proper name. Nation is it now, but wc hope ere long it will be once moro a republic. Wo would there? fore urge our fellows to begin to husband every resource, and call into our aid ev? ery improvement and fail not to take into count the small grains. If the corn crop can be made, as we hope and beliove, en? tirely available, this grain alone will be a net income equal to all State expenses.? Southern Jturalist. -<s> TtiE Old System.?A writer in the Scl ma Times has some remarks in regard to the pd&t, present and future, of our farming and planting interests, which strike us as being more sensible than a good many things we meet with in the papers these times. Wc have only room for a short extract: We fear that too many of our people are still hugging the delusion of keeping up the old plantation system, now that the morale of the laboring population has been lost. It may have been very pleasant to the eye to look over a domain of a thous? ands acres all under the control and cul? tivation of a single mind, but the day for that style of things has passed ; and per? haps the same domain broken up into ten or twenty farms, each with its cottage and barn, tenanted by an honest and laborious but more intelligent peasantry may seem quite compensatory for the old system iu the eyes of future generatiousj For our part we ara tired of long lanes enclosing uncultivated fields. As wc ride through the country we are more .and more impressed with the sparseness and thrifllessness of our population. The coun? try is rapidly returning to a.waste. Miles without a snug house or a sign of settled active industry. The hireling system is carrying all to destruction, and even the negro will soon abandon the desert he has created. -:?o A Receipt of Happiness.?It is sim? ple. When you rise in the morning, form tho resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow-creature. It is easily done. A left off garment to the man who needs it; a kind word to the sorrow? ful ; an encouraging expression to the starving?trifles in themselves as light as air?will do it, at least for twenty-four hours; and, if you are young, depend upon it, it will tell when , you arc old; rest assured it will send you down the stream of time to eternity. Look at tho result: Yon send one person?only one happily through the day; that is three hundred and sixt}--five in tho course of the year?and supposing you live forty 3*ears only, after you commence this course, you have made fourteen thousand six hundred beings happy, at all events for a time. Now, worthy reader, is this not simple? Wc do not often indulge in a moral dose,- but this is so small a pill that one needs no red currant jelly to disguise its flavor, and it requires to" be taken but once a day, that we feel war? ranted in prescribing it. It is most ex? cellent for digestion, and a producer of pleasant slumbers^ ?,-o The State Inebriate Asylum, N. Y. ?We see it stated that ?501,635.29 were expended in support of this institution. This is a large sum to pay for the cure of inebriates. It would be far cheaper to avoid drunkenness. ? A dark Conundrum.?"Sam, why ara do bogs do most intelligent folks in the world ? Because dey nose eberything.", The Day after Marriage. The following, both in sentiment and fact, will find a ready echo in the hearts of most parents. It is from the Wide World: The departure of a son from beneath the paternal roof does not present any spectacle of desolation. Masculine life has from infancy an individuality, an inde? pendence, an exotism, so to say, which is essentially wanting to female existence. "When a son abandons his parents to cre? ate for himself a separate interest,, this separation causes but little interruption in tbeir mutual relations. Aman marries, and still maintains his friendships, his hab? its and his filial affections. Nothing is changed in life; it is only an additional tie. His departure is consequently a mere simple separation; while the departure of a youiig girl, to become the wife in a few hours^ is a real desertion?a desertion with all its duties and feelings fresh about it. In one word, the sou is a sapling which has always grown apart from the trunk ; while trie daughter bus, on the contrary, formed an essential portiou of it, and to detach her from her place is to mutilate the tree itself. You have surrounded her youth with Unspeakable tenderness?the cxhaustlcss tenderness of your paternal and maternal hearts; and she, in return, has appeared to pour forth upon you both aii equally inexhaustible gratitude; you loved her beybh'd all the world, and she seemed to cling to you with a porportion ate affection. But one day, an ill-omened day, a man affixes, invited and welcomed* by yourselves; and this man of your own choice carries off to his domestic circle your gentle dove, far from the soft nest which your love has made for her. On the morrow you look around you, you listen, you wait, you seek for some? thing which you cannot find. The cage is empty; the tuneful linnet has flown; silence has succeeded to its melodious warblings; it does not come, as it did only on the previous morning, fluttering its perfumed wings about your pillow, and awakening you by its soft caresses. Noth? ing remains but a painful calm, a paiuful silence, a painful void. The chamber of the absent darling offers only that disor? der which is so melancholy for a mother to contemplate; not the joyous and impa? tient disorder of occupation, but that of abandonment. Maidenly garments scat? tered here and there; girlish fancies no longer prized; chairs heaped with half worn dresses; drawers left partially open, and ransacked to their remotest corners ; a bed in which no one has slept; a crowd of Charming trifles, which .the 501111g girl loved, but which the young wife despises, and which arc littered over the carpet, like the feathers dropped by the linnet when the hawk made the timid bird its prey. Such is the depressing sight which wrings tears from the mother's hear',. Nor is this all; from t-his day she occupies only the second place in the affections of her departed idol, and even that merely until the happiness of maternity shall have taught her for whom she weeps to assign to her one still lowen This maty this stranger, unknown a few months, it may be a few weeks previously, has assumed a right over those allcctions which were al? most entirely her own; a few hours of Hcetingj and it may eveu be of assumed tenderness, have in a small degree sufficed to clface twenty long years of watehful iicss, of care, of self-abnegation ; and they have not only rent away her right t? be the first and best-beloved, but they have deprived her of (he filial caresses, the gen? tle attentions and the adored presence of the heart's idol, whom she has herself siven to him for life. Nothing is lelt'to the mot her but the attachment of respect. It she loves him, she leaves her home without regret j t? follow his fortunes to the end of the world; if she does not love him, she will still perform the same duly with resignation. Nature and laws alike impose the obligation on her, and her own heart must decide whether it will Consti? tute her joy or her trial; but in cither case the result to the mother is the same. Nor can that mother reproach her with this painful preference, for she has reared her in the conviction of the necessity of marriage; she has herself olfored to her its example in her own person; heaven it? self has pointed it out as a duty whose omission is culpable; and, therefore, far from venturing to wish that the lost one should restore to her all the tenderness which time and habit may enable her to withdraw from her husband, the mother is bound, on the contrary, to pray that they may every day become dearer t?eaelt other, and by each other, even at the ex? pense of her own happiness, This mis? fortune is the mother's last blessing. Tenacity of Ltfk.-?A remarkable in* stance of the preservation of life without sustenance for a lengthened period has late? ly occurred at Ponihau, near Grosscnhayn, in Saxony, On the 8th of December last two brothers, named Musbter, were en? gaged in digging a deep well, when the earth fell in and completely buried them. A third brother went down immediately, but was not able to perceive the slightest sounds. Some miners were then set to work, and dug for sonic d?ys$ but without success ; and it was so generally believed that the poor fellows could not possibly be alive, that orders had been given that, un? less the relatives insisted on proceeding further, the well should be filled up and a monument to the memory of the Musch ters erected over it. Eight days had al? ready elapsed since the accident, but the mother of the entombed would not give up all hope, and some fresh hands began to work again, though only in the expecta? tion of finding the corpses. To their as? tonishment, however, they suddenly heard from below the words, "Do not strike so hard." A conversation commenced, the work was pushed forward with renewed diligence, and at length crowned with suc? cess. On the 10th of December, after they had been eleven days and four hours in this living grave, the two Muschters were res? cued and brought to the surface. The earth that fallen in had left a kiud of cave above them. Their only sustenance dur? ing this long period had been the water that had oozed through the earth, and a little tobacco which they had chewc-u.? They had a watch with them, which they had wound up regularly, aud were, there? fore, able to keep an account of the time of their burial. At first they lighted luci fer matches to see the time, but when these were all used they left the hands._ They had heard tho conversation above I them respecting the tilling np of the well and shouted, but could not make them? selves heard. They had also sung hymns together, and the 'people at the surface had heard it faintly, but being not a little superstitious, had attirbuted it to angels in the air. -o Sayings of Josh Billings.?Earthli glory, iz sum like potatoze on very rich sile?top plenty?taters skase. It aint so mutch trouble tew git rich as it is tew tell when you hav got ritch.

Humor originally meant moisture, a signification it meta? phorically retain/i for it is the very juice of the mind oozing from the brain; and enriching and fertilizing wherever it falls. Wit exists by antipathy, humor by sym? pathy. Wit laugh's at tilings. Humor laughs with them.- Wit lashes external appear? ances, or cunningly exaggerates single foibles into character; humor glides iut<> the heart of its ?object, looks lovingly on the infirmities of its defects, and repre? sents the whole man. Wit is abrupt, darting, scornful, and tosses its analogies in your face : humor is slow aud shy, insinuating its fun into your heart; Wit is negative, analytical, de? tractive; humor is creative; The couplets of Pope are witty ; but Sancho Fanza is a humorous creation; Witj when earnest, has the earnestness of passion seeking to destroy j humor has the earnestness of af? fection, and would lift up what is seem? ingly low into our charity and love.-"Wit, bright, rapid, and vanishes in an instant; humor, warm and all-embracing as the sunshine, bathes its objects id a" genial and abiding light.
