The recent publication in tbe News of much that interests the planter, induces me to ask the insertion in jour columns of an article more appropriately designed for an agricultural journal'. As a large proportion o4 your readers are planters, I suggest for their consideration the fol? lowing inquiry: Does eorrr. planting on upland in South Carolina, or throughout tb? Soatb, (I mean the cotton belt of the South,) remunerate the planter? A negative reply comes this year from all quarters, and the same will be the case two years in three. The twen:y-acre field of upland, that will produce this year ten bushels per acre, will be the excep? tion; one-third of this goes to the freed raan, and the remaining two-thirds will be consumed by wear and tear, black? smith's bills, interest, insurance, taxes, and the mule. Tho planter's profit will be nothing. Then why do planters pre sist in cultivating so exhaustive and still so unremunerative a crop ? I can assign no other reason than the one assigned by tho boy who was asked, why he went to mill with a bushel of meal in one end of the bag and a rock in the other! Ho re? plied, he did it because daddy did it. -Advising against growing upland corn, I am not an advocate for the cultivation of cotton to the exclusion of forago and provision crops. Not at all. Corn should I>e grown more or less on all plantations, tout solely upon such lands as will pay test in corn. In ray judgment there is not labor enough in the South to glut the market, were every acre of cultivated ?land planted in cotton. But it would be ruinous in more ways than one to pursue each a_ policy; breadstuff's would be en hanced, and provender would become an (expensive necessity. The quantity of oorn, however, consumed by man is but an item in the products ot a farm. It is the slock that are the costly consumers. And the object of this article is to sug? gest a method by which stock can be more economically fed, labor more ad vaatageonsly employed, plantations im? proved, and, withal, no corn cultivated .upon uplands. Any field capable of producing ten bushels of corn per acre, will yield the same number of bushels of rye; and one ifouslrel of rye, ground into meal and made fn?o a " mash " with cut rye straw will food a horse or mule much longer than a bushel of corn. The same field sown in red oats, any? time between 1st October and 1st April, w^ll produce threshed -oats enough (the straw being salted and fed as fodder) to feed a number of animals one-half longer than the corn and fodder from the same field. Any piece of land, having an admix? ture of clay in its soil, sown in wheat in November, and top dressed with ten dol? lars' worth of commercial manures per acte, anytime between the 1st Februarj and- the 1st April following, will yield wheat enough to pay for tho manures, broad the family, and buy the corn the land wouid have produced. Any field manured at sceding-time with ten dollars' worth per acre of commercial manures, and sown in bailey, and again top-dressed as suggested above for wheat, will produce gram enough to pay for the manures, and buy twice as much corn as the land would havo produced without manure. Any laborer that can cultivate six acres of cotton and six of corn, can just as easily cultivate ten acres of cotton and eight acres of either of the cereals. These assertions are not made at ran? dom; they are the result of my own ex? perience. And if these facts be true, eaoh planter has but to calculate for him? self the difference in cost of seeding and harvesting a small grain crop, and of cul? tivating a corn crop. I may be met with the remark that wheat and barley are too costly to be fed to work animals. I re? ply, if they are worth double in market what corn is, and I can grow a bushel of either cheaper than 1 can a bushel of corn, they are less expensivo feed for my stock than corn would bo. If their mar? ketable value would be greatly reduced by being more extensively sown then we would only be the happier peoplo, be? cause breads tuffs would be cheaper. For all small grain crops tho land should be thoroughly prepared as soon after the 1st October as practicable, and the grain brushed or harrowed in, not ploughed in, and the land rolled. Har? vesting should, if possible, be done with a reaper, not a cradle. Tho best cradler will, in a luxuriant small grain crop, in spite of himself, lose from three to five bushels per acre. If tho land is properly prepared, the reaper saves it all. Were a moro extended area of thorough? ly prepared land upon all of our cotton plantations sown in that small grain best adapted to the respective plantations, wo could live moro independently, raise more stock,, set our own prico upon cotton, and not be so solicitous about labor. An in? telligent laborer accustomed to improved machinery can cultivate moro land and harvest more grain than any half dozen men who use the unoouth implements of slavery times. As a planter, I feel that the great want of the agricultural inter? ests of our Stato is tho introduction of that class of skilled laborers, who, bring? ing their improved implements with them, will become land proprietors, rather than the immigration of hordes of illiter? ate foreigners, who would soon become as demoralized and uncontrollable as our existing labor. Vory respectfully, J). "Wyatt Aikex. ?r The first daguerreotype was made in France in 1839. First Annual Fair of the State Agricul? tural Society. The following Circular explains itself satisfactorily to all. The reorganization of the State Agricultural Society augurs well for the future development in South Carolina. We feel assured that our far? mers and planters will do their duty in the premises with liberal and enlightened spirit. Lot us do our duty, and our peo? ple need sot go North, West, or further South', to look for the land of promise. .Under our very feet are mineB of agricul? tural wealth, which, if properly developed, would not only be remunerative to our own peopler but would widuco the enter? prising and industrious from many far countries to come and settle among us : Columbia, S. C, July 14th, 1869. 'Sir: The Executive Committee of the S. C. Agricultural and Mechanical Society, having made the necessary arrangements for the annual fair to be held in Columbia, on the second Wednesday in November next, now appeal to their fellow-citizens to make the movement a success. The development of the material inter? ests of the State is conceded to be a mat? ter of importance. It concerns the digni? ty as well as the general welfare of the people whom wo represent that all their resources should be fully evoked. We have broken fortunes to retrieve, ruinod industries to revive, and a just influence to regain. To accomplish this end, the necessity is upon us, to move out upon the industrial arena and secure the re? ward of Energy, Skill and Activity. As a means to this end, citizens of the State representing that portion of its capital and intelligence devoted to indus? trial pursuits, feeling that these interests are inadequately represented in the pres? ent State government, (hence the greater necessity to co-operate among themselves) have formed an Agricultural and Mechan? ical Society and established annual fairs. Its Executive Committee, carrying out the order of the Society, have arranged a premium list and provided for the annual fair. But ono thing remains tobe done. Un? der the present regime, the Society ex? pects no aid from the State treasury : hence the necessity devolves upon Ibe Committee to call upon the friends and members of the Society to make the re? quired contributions of money, and the Committee feel satisfied, that the plan proposed for raising the necessary funds, will meet the approval of those concerned in this important movement. The Committee will Rparc no efforts to make the first annual fair of the Society in all respects useful and. creditable.? They have invited a distinguished speaker to deliver an address, they have prepared a liberal premium list; they have suitable buildings and grounds prepared, and it will remain for the contributors to com? plete the work thus auspiciously begun. To provide the necessary funds tho fol? lowing scheme has been adopted, and is commended to your favorable considera? tion. It i6 earnestly hoped that you may bo disposed to co-operate with us in this matter. Appendod hcieto is a note pay? able 1st October next for ?20.00 which you are requested to sign and forward to Col. D. "Wyatt Aiken, at Cokcsbury, S. C. You are authorized by a resolution of the Committee to redeem this note at or before, its maturity by procuring ten an? nual members at ?2.00, or two life mem? bers at ?10.00 each. In this event you are expected to collect the money irom the members you procure, and to Ijand their names to the Secretary when your note is paid. Very Respectfully, Your obedient servants. Johnson Hagood, W. M. Lawton, J. P. Thomas, W. Wallace, D. Wyatt Aiken, J. B. Palmer, Of theExocutivo Committee. $20.00. On or before the first day of October next, 18G9, I promise to pay to D.

Agricultural and Mechanical Society, Twen? ty Dollars, for value received. - To Make Sweet Pickles.?A lady cor? respondent of the Country Gentlemen gives the following recipe for making sweet pickles: Cut the tomatoes through, or if largo, slice in three; let them stand in weak brine over night. To a quart of vinegar three pounds of sugar; in this vinegar cook the tomatoes until a fork can easily bo passed through '.hem. As fast as they are cooked, take them out with a fork and lay them down in ajar?say two or three layers of tomatoes; sprinkle pulver? ized cinnamon and cloves, and a thin lay? er of sugar; then alternately tomatoes, spices and sugar, cooking all tho tomatoes in tho same vinegar; if necessary, add more sugar and vinegar. When the jar is filled, cover tho tomatoes with good cider vinegar cold, throwing away tho vinegar in which tomatoes were cooked. Lay some horse radish root over tho top of the pickles, and put a weight on to keep them covered. This recipe is equallj' good for cucumbers. I have tested it for the past two years, and found no trouble in keeping good pickles. The New School of Southern Poli? ticians.?A shrewd observer of the drift of politics in the South, is giving his im? pressions in a series of letters to the New York Woihl. He sketches tho character? istics of a new school of politicians who aro rising up in tho Southern States, and who, he thinks, will ere long control tho destinies of this section. We quote: "These aro mostly young men, and tho events of the day aio given them a stern and hard education the country will yot feel. On all points connected with the past, this new school sits at the feet of the old. On tho abstract righIfulness of secession, on tho beauty of State sove? reignty and " what tho war was for," tho young men of tho South still listen with pleasure to the elders. It is only when coming to the question, " What is to be done ?" that a divergence appears, llcro tho old school has but little to propose. It can bo oloquent on tho past; but when brought faco to face with the futnro, per? mits indignation to obscure its judgment and paralyze its ability. Tho new school is moro practical and moro cool. It nev? er troubles its brain about a. ro-asfiertion of the secession idea, its interest in any discussion of the subject apparently bo ginning and ending with a justification of' the abstract rightfulness of the doctrine; it would not have the negroes returned into slavery in any condition; it favors immigration; it believes in railways, di? rect trade and internal improvements; and, abovo all, it hates the Radical party with a concentration of enmity that few in tho North, save Wendell Phillips, and occasionally the late Mr. Raymond); seem to havo fathomed. Somo of tbo leaders of this new school I might mer.tion ; but they are not at present men of any ex? tended repute outsido of their several i States, and the idoas they entertain lack tbat cohesion which would make thorn of ! decided importance just now. If there bo a good crop this year, it is not unlike? ly but that some steps will be taken in the fall to unite tho sentiments of the South in some articles of a common creed." Eeminiscences of the "War. Tho recollection of General Wade Hampton's foray upon General Grant's beef-pen, in tho fall of 1864, is still frosh in tho minds of the men who lay for so long a time half starved in the tronches around Potersburg. It was quite a bril? liant and well-executed affair. Hamp? ton's chief scout, Sergeant Shadbourne, of tho Jeff Davis legion of caralry, had mado a daring reconnoissance into the enemy's lines, and ascertained the exact position of tho beef-pen, and assured tho General tbat he could guide our command within a mile of the camp of tho cavalry guard detailed by Grant to watch his meat suppiios. Ho was perfectly familiar with all tho roads and by-paths leading to Sycamore Church, at which point tho animuls were being grazed. So wo wero marched to within ten miles of tho church and halted to rest men and horses, and to perfect the details of the next morning's work. Pickets were postod, the scouts sent out to scour the roads leading to tho church, and tho weary command lay down to sleep. Some hours before daylight the bugle sounded merily "to horse/' and off ; we trotted, feeling confident that our ex? perienced leader was up to something which would redound to Ibo glory of our arms and the benefit of our cause. Just as day dawned the chargo was sounded, u,nd tho front regiment dashed ahead up? on the enemy's vidctte and into the camp Of the sleeping Federals, Shaclburno and his gallant band of stouts at tho head. The enemy's videtto fired his piece, rous? ed his comrades, and tho shots flow thick and fast for a while. The wild shout of victory was but tho death-krell to some fot the bravest spirits there, and many of tho men and officers of both sides were killed. A hasty prayer for the fleeting spirits of their dying comrades, and the men dashed on to where the vast herd of splendid cattle stood stupidly gazing at the wild route into which their Federal protectors were plunged. .And theu be? gan the plundering of the rich commis? sary and sutler stores. Men were seen everywhere smoking tho finest cigars, drinking toasts to fine liquors, laden down with blankets, boots, butter, cheese, and a confused mass, such as only a hungry, half-famished rebol plundering a Yankeo camp could gather up. The camp having been thoroughly ransacked, Hampton or? dered his Generals?Rosser, Dearing, and \V. H. F. Lee?to get their men together, and then camo the command, "back to camp," Colonel "White, "of tho flowing locks," in the advance with his splendid battalion of Virginia cavalry. Then came tho balance of Rosser's coramand, then Dearing, aud far in the rear, to keep dan? ger away from tho bovine prisoners, 2,300 strong?came W. H. F. Lee, with his di vision. Tho sun was sinking in tho West, but not down, when a courier from White announced that he had met tho cnomy's cavalry on the Jcrusalom plunk-road, and they wore too many tor him. Tho spurs were dashed into tho sides of the horsus, and soon tho wild yell announced that Rosser's troopers had made a chargo under tho lead of that daring Genoral. As Gen? eral Hampton spurred to the scone of ac? tion a courier was met, "on foaming steed," from Rosser, saying ho had dis? mounted his men and fought on foot until not ten rounds of ammunit on remained to tho man. Courier alter courier was dispatched to hurry up Genoral Lee. The cattlo wcro turned off into another road, and in the mean timo our horse artillery had been placod in position to respond to tho shots of tho enemy. Who that was there can ever forgot the wild grandeur of that scene ? Tho sun shedding its part? ing beams upon tho battling hosts, the heavy plunging of the shot and shell through tho ranks of men and horses, the waving of battle-flags, the galloping of staff officers and couriers over tho field, tho defiant shouts of our men calling to tho Yankees to "come and get some beef for supper," all mado up a sconce strango ly mingling the sublimo and the ridicu? lous. Tho enemy loft our front just at dark, and wo quietly took up our lino of march to camp. Tho hungry infantry in tbo tronches received tbo news of our good fortune with shouts of joy, and they did not call in question the fighting quali? ties of tbe cavalry any metro. And }*ct we had only kept up the brilliant reputa? tion they had always given us as foragers. Never had such steaks and roasts been seen in the arm)* since our Pennsylvania campaign. It is needless to add that everybody enjoyed tho ^cef.?Natchez Democrat. TJsk of Lemons.?Hall's Journal of Health says: When persons arc feverish and thirsty beyond what is natural, indi? cated in somo case by a metallic taste in the mouth, espocially after drinking wa? ter, or by a whitish appearance of the grcator part of tho tonguo, one of the best "coolers," internal or external is to tako a lemon, cut off tho top, sprinkle over it somo fine loaf sugar, work it down? ward into the lemon with a spoon, and then suck it slowly, squeezing tho lemon and adding more sugar as tho acidity* in? creases from being brought up from the lower point. Invalids with feverishnoss may tako two or three lemons a day in this manner with a most marked benefit, manifested by a senso of coolness, comfort and invig* oration, A lemon or two taken thus at tea timo, as an entire substitute for theoiv dinary "support" of summer, would givo many a man a comfortable night's sleep, and an awakening of rest and invigora? tion, with an appetito for breakfast, to which thoy are strangers who will havo their cup of tea or supper "relish" and "cako" and berries or peaches and cream. Very Singular.?Prom Bell's station, Tenn., come the particulars of a most singular phenomenon. William Eoweli was struck: suddenly deaf and dumb, a few days ago, when m route to Memphis from his place of residence. Out of mere sport, when a newsboy came round and offered him a paper, ho feigned to be both deaf and dumb, and in this way annoyed tho vender. Tho newsboy passed on, but tho unfortunate joker never spoke again. When he began to realize the extent of his misfortune he got off tho train, bound, for Memphis, at Mason's depot, and took tho first return train. On the cars he in? dulged in loud lamentations and cries, as if sorely distressed. On his arrival home, as soon as ho stepped out on the platform, ho seized a pencil and a bit of paper from a citizen, and wrote : "struck dumb on account of my folly," and continued weeping in most piteous tones.?Nashville Banner. -+ How to Kill Akts.?As the season has arrived for those pests, the ants, house? wives and others who aro troubled with them may probably uso tho following trap to advantage: Procure a large sponge, wash it well and press it dry, which will leave the cells quite open; then sprinkle over it some fine white sugar, and place it where the ants are troublesome. They will soon collect upon the sponge and take up their abodes in tho colls. It is only nec? essary to dip the spongo in scalding hot water, which will wash them out dead. Put on more sugar and the trap for another haul; this process will soon clear the house of every ant. ? Governor Senter, of Tonnessee, has a very insinuating way of canvassing for votes. He addresses himself to tho bet? ter halves of the voters. He concluded a speech last week as follows: "Ladies, a word before we part?when tho daj for election arrives, get up early, prepare a good breakfast, have the shaving water and towel ready, let nothing but smiles and cheerfulness possess you, and when the good man starts for the polls, go with him to tho gate, put your arm about his neck, kiss him, then ask him to vote for Senter. Again, I thank you." ? An old lady, on being examined be? fore a magistrate as to her place of legal settlement, was asked what reason she had for supposing her husband had a legal settlement in that town. Tho old lady said: "He was born and married there, and they buried him there, and if that isn't settling him there, I don't know what is."
