The January number of the Southern Cul?
tivator has been received. It begins another year
with bright prospects of increasing success, and
the initial number gives evidence of still greater
effort on the part of its editors to furnish the

mation concerning the farm, garden and household.
We continue our arrangement with Us proprietors
to club both journals at $4.00 per year, invariably

It will be seen by an advertisement of the Man?
ager, Mr. John T. Foed, that the eminent come?
dian, Mr. James H. Hackett, will make his ap?
pearance for a few nights at the Academy of Mu
sio in Charleston, beginning on next Monday
night. His representation of "Falstaff" is said
to be the finest in the world, and lovers of the
drama would be well repaid by a visit to Charles?
ton during the coming week. The management is
sparing neither pains nor expense to render the
entertainments at this new and elegant temple
worthy of extensive patronage,

TEE JTIHETEEHTH CENTURY.
The January number of this magazine is an im?
provement, in our humble judgment, upon former
issues. Among the most noticeable articles is one
from the pen of Judge Longstbett, reviewing Ex
Gov. Pebbt's sketch of Mr. Calhotjs. We have
read this review with a great deal of interest, and
aside from the merits of the controversy between
them, we think that the author of "Georgia Scenes"
has completely vanquished the Ex-Governor in a
literary point of view. Those who are not sub?
scribers to the Niaeteenth Century^ should at once
send in their names and money to Mr. G. W. Fant,
ai the Post Office, who is the authorized agent, and
who will be glad to serve customers regularly with
single copies.'
TSE PHOSPHATE BILL.
The Legislature has taken no action, since the
re-assembling of that body last week, on this im?
portant measure. It is probable, from all that we
can learn, that the opposition will prove effectual,
and that the valuable river beds of phosphates
will be so managed as to produce an extensive
revenue to the State. At least, we are confident
that the proposed monopoly will be a failure, and
for once the Republican majority in the Legisla?
ture will gain the approval of all good citizens by
s wise and sensible course. In this connection,
we desire to applaud the conduct of the Charles?
ton Daily Republican, which has steadfastly refus?
ed to becme an abettor in this huge monopoly, and
on the contrary has dealt some of the heaviest
blows against it which the scheme has received
from any quarter.
ESCAPED FEOM CUSTODY.
A eonple of white youths- named Donaldson
and a negro named Henry Aiken escaped from the
Jail of this county on Sunday night last, and have
not since been, heaid from, although parties went
is immediate pursuit. Their escape was effected
by filing aa iron bar and letting themselves down'
to the ground by the assistance of blankets fasten?
ed together. The white boys were confined on a
charge of fogery, and the negro for petit larceny.
6ne of the whites is a deserter from the Federal
army, and the other deserted at this place several
years ago, for which he was duly punished. They
are the yooths engaged in victimizing some of our
merchants a few weeks ago by forged orders.
We learn that a man by the name of Driver
was committed to jail on Tuesday last, charged
with stealing a trunk from Messrs. Bennett &
Keese the day before. The trunk was recovered,
and in endeavoring to make his escape, Drives
appropriated to his use another man's horse, which
Tsars also recovered in a short time.
Oub Stock Quotations.?The great fluctuations
and uncertainity of value attendant on the com?
monest securities since the war make reliable and
regular quotations of great value to the public. We
are glad to announce, therefore, that we have made
arrangements with Mr. A. C. Kawfman, of Char?
leston, to furnish us with a weekly report of those
securities most important to our readers. Mr.
Kaufman's quotations of Southern securities ap?
pear regularly in the Financial Chronicle and the
WM Streu Journal, of New York, and the Char?
leston Courier, three of the leading financial and
commercial papers of this country, and may be de?
pended on as strictly accurate for the day on which
they are made.
-o
The Ehpobium or Fashion in Abbeville.?We
observe that the copartnership heretofore existing
between Fowj.kb & McDonald has been dissolved
by its own limitation. The business will be con?
tinued by our friend, James W. Fowler, whose
endeavor will be to make his establishment com?
pare with similar retail stores in the cities. In
the spring, a dress and mantua making depart?
ment will be added, which will be conducted by a
lady of taste and skill, with efficient assistants.
We bespeak a liberal share of patronage for our
enterprising and worthy friend.
? A private letter from Hon. Alexander II.
Stephens states that his health is not good. He is
barely able to sit up, and not able to stand. The
numerous friends of the great Georgian will receive
this newt with regret.
HOW A RADICAL CONGRESSMAN SPENDS HIS
LEISURE MOMENTS.
Tho peccadilloes of Radical officials ia this
State have beea so often exposed as to render the
subject almost threadbare. But occasionally we
arc refreshed by instances of such sublime rascal?
ity that it would be wrang not to allow tho public
to eDjoy them. It will be remembered that while
the "gold bill" was pending before Legislature,
prior to the holidays, there was considerable com?
ment as to the presence in Columbia of one Bo wen ,
member of Congress from this State, who was evi?
dently exerting his influence over tho colored
members to obtain the passage of this highly im?
portant measure to the bondholders, which class it
was thought Bowen represented. Well, -it mas?
ters not for the purpose of this article whether he
was thus engaged, to the neglect of his arduous
duties in Congress, then in session. But we are
I roliably informed that, during his leisure moments,
Bowes was employed in franking envelopes for
the dusky legislators at a farious rate. He would
take bis seat by a sable brother, and during the
conversation which ensued between them, Bowen
would exhaust the supply of envelopes on the
members table by writing thereon his official
frank. After this was done, he ? ould move off to
another "man and brother," and perform the same
act of kindness with the utmost suavity, and so
on through the list of colored gentlemen likely to
remember the modest favor by giving Bowen his
support in the next nominating convention. Will
any decent Radical newspaper in the land defend
such conduct? It is an unblushing fraud upon
the government, perpetrated in open daylight, and
without the flinsy pretence of aiding the Republi?
can party. We'trust that the influential colored
men who have already declared war against Bow?
en will contiuuethcir assaults upon him, and seek
to oust such a disreputable character from the exal?
ted position now prostitatcd to his owa base uses.

THE DEAD 07 I860.
The lengthy list of illustrious persons who died
during the year just closed is quite remarkable.
Among the prominent public men of the United
States, we observe the following:
John Minor Bolts, formerly member of Congress
from Virginia, and a noted Whig politician, died
January 8th, 1860; also, Qen. Lovell H. Rous?
seau, of Kentucky, who served in Congress and as
a Federal officer during the late war.
January 25th, Francis W. Pickens, of South
Carolina, Minister to Russia under Buchanan's
administration, r.nd afterwards Governor of this
State.
March 14th, Gen. James Guthrie, of Kentucky,
Secretary of the Treasury under Pierce and after?
wards United States Senator.
March 27th, James Harper, a member of the
well-known publishing firm in New York, and
once Mayor of that city.
July SOtb, Hon. Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut,
Secretary of the Navy under Buchanan.
September Cth, Gen. John A. Rawlins, of Illi?
nois, Secretary of War at the time of his death.
September 8th, Hon. Wm. Pitt Fessenden, of
Maine, United States Senator.
September 10th, Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee,
formerly U. S. Senator, and a candidate for tho
Presidency in 1860.
October 8th, Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp?
shire, Ex-President of the United States.
November 4th, George Pcabody, of Massachu?
setts, the eminent philanthropist.
November 7th, Admiral Charles Stewart, known
as "Old Ironsides," of the U. S. Navy.
November 10th, Gen. JohnE. Wool, distinguish?
ed for his services in the Mexican war.
November 11th, Hon. Robert J. Walke*, Secre?
tary of the Treasury under Polk, and one of the
ablest financial writers in the Union.
November 12th, Hon. Amos Kendall, Posmastci:
General under Jackson, and one of the most noted
politicians of that day and. time.
November 21st, Hon. Benjamin Fitzpatrick, of
Alabama, formerly Governor of that State and
member of the United States Senate.
December 21st, Hon. Edwin M. St an ton, of
Pennsylvania, Secretary of War from 1862 to
1867.
Enforcement or the Civil Rights Bill.?If
, seems that the law passed by the Legislature ot
' this State, approved February 18th, 1860, entitled
"An net to enforce the provisions of the Civil
? Rights Bill of the United States Congress," i*
about to be tested in Charleston. A colored man,
for whom a ticket had been bought by a white maa,
applied for admission to the dress circle of the
Academy of Music, and was refused admission by
Manager John T. Ford, of Baltimore, the lessee.
Another colored man applied for admission to the
reserved seats, and was likewise refused. Where?
upon warrants were issued, upon affidavits by the
two colored men, and Mr. Ford was arrested for
violating the law referred to, and gavo bond for
his appearance at the next term of Court. The
Act of the Legislature specifies that if any party
engaged in any business, calling or pursuit for
which a license is required, and for which he made
lawful application, discriminates on account or
race, color or previous condition he is liable to o
fine of not less than $200, or less than six months:
imprisonment. The case is an interesting one
and we shall await its termination with anxiety to
know whether or not this law will stand the tcsi.
of legal scrutiny, and be allowed to restrain indi?
viduals in the conduct of their business.
Dowie, Moisr. & Davis.?With the new year, wo
observe that the well known Drug House in Char ?
leston of Dowie & Moise has changed the style of
its firm as above, and has gained a considerable
accession in the person of Mr. Wm. C. Davis,
formerly of this place, whose numerous friends
will be gratified to hear tff his promotion. We are
well acquainted with all the members of this firm,
and can conscientiously recommend theft for en?
terprise and liberal dealing. Their business has
been steadily increasing, and their house now
ranks amongst the foremost among the list of hon?
orable merchants in the "good city by the sea." In
referring to the change, the Courier says: "Mr.
Davis has been conuectcd with the house for sev?
eral years, and hiu many friends in all parts of
South Carolina, as well as in adjoining States, will
be pleased to learn of this change in his fortunes.
We know Mr. D. well, and can therefore say that
while we are glad to see him ocoupy his new posi?
tion, we know that he cannot work with moro zeal
for his house than he has done hitherto."
_In his message to the Pennsylvania Legisla?
ture, Gov. Geary favors the recognition of Cubau
independence, and advocates the policy of expan?
ding the currency by esfablisbing National Banks
where none now exist. The State receipts last
year were not quite five and a quarter millions,
and the expenditures nearly five millions. The
State debt amounts to $32,814,000.
? G. E. Elford, Esq., has resumed the publica?
tion of tho Greenville Mountaineer, and begins
with an encouraging prospect of success.
? Mrs. Eliza J. Baker, daughter of Chief Jus?
tice Moses, died ia Sumtcr recently.
THE LABOE QUESTION.
The following joint resolution concerning the
appointment of agents to supervise the making of j
contracts with laborers has been introduced into
the Legislature of this State, and referred to the
Committee on Labor:
Be it Resolved, By the House of Representatives,
the Senate concurring, That the Governor be, and
he is hereby, authorized and empowered, immedi?
ately after the passnge of this resolution, to ap?
point Contraot Agents or Supervisors for each
county of the State, whose duty it shall be to fur?
nish all persous wishing to contract with proper
forms, showing clearly the obligations of employ?
ers and employees.
That tho Agent or Supervisor shall keep an office
at the county seat of each county, where shall be
recorded a copy of each contract made, and the
names of all parties to the same ; to hear and ex?
amine all disagreements, and, as umpire, award
justice to the aggrieved party, except in such cases
which require legal interference through the
Courts.
The contracts shall be in triplicate form, the
employer and the employee holding one each; and
the third shall bo filed and recorded in the office
of the Agent or Supervisor for the county, each
copy receiving the signature and seal of the Agent
to validate it, for which duty he shall recieve a-fee
of fifty (50) cents from each party contracting, and
furnish necessary papers.
All contracts for the year 1870 must be recorded
as set forth above, and be subjected to the same
rule of approval and record, though made, signed
and entered upon.
The Agent or Supervisor shall enter into re?
cognizance, for the faithful performance of his
duties, in a bond of not more than ?2,000, or less
than SI.000, and hold his office for two years, un?
less superseded for negligence or misconduct.
THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD:
Mr. Doyle, of Oconee county, offered the fol?
lowing joint resolution in the House of Represen?
tatives on Monday last. It was referred to a
special committee of seven from the House and
three from the Senate:
Whereas the building of the Blue Ridge Rail?
road has been a favorite enterprise of the people
of South Carolina for twenty years, and the pres?
ent General Assembly has sustained it, with nn
approximation to unanimity unsurpassed in the
annals of legislation on a subject involving such
grave considerations; and whereas the manage?
ment of the affairs of said road have been such as
to elicit much inquiry, and to reflect on both the
Legislature and those who manage the affairs of j
said enterprise ; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the
Senate concurring, That a committee, to consist of j
three members of the House, and two of the Sen?
ate, be appointed, with full power to send jfor per?
sons and papers, to investigate every transaction
had since the re-organization of the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company, with instructions to report the
result of their investigation at least ten days bo
fore the adjournment of the present session.
Or/a Duty.?Aother year is upon us, snd, be?
fore its close, we will have another general elec?
tion. Slate officers, members of the Legislature
and Congressmen arc to be elected by us in Octo?
ber next.
It is of vital moment to the best interests of our
State that the present incumbents be defeated, and
good men elected in their stead. This is practica?
ble, if we will simply do two things, which wis?
dom demands :
1. Be united. He who prefers a man or set of
men to the success of the party opposed to official
dishonesty, is not true. He may boast that he is
not fettered by party nominations, but when he
pursues a course which must end in the defeat of
good men, he is himself not a patriot and not to
be trusted.
2. We must be practicable. Tbc fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the
United States have settled many things?the first
is passed and the second will be. We must read
the changes wrought by thsse amendments. Ques?
tions which divided the two great political parties
of the country two years ago would appear ridicu?
lous if lugged into political canvass now. They
are settled against us. Congressional reconstruc?
tion and negro suffrage are issues of the past,
quite as much as the Louisiana purchase and the
Mexican war. If we do not so regard them, we
are impracticable, unwise, and destined to defeat.
Victory is in our hands, if wo will only grasp it.
Our platform is one upon which white and black
may unite and join hands. It is "opposition to
official dishonesty." We want no other plank.
Upon this, we would nominate good men, and they
would be elected. We beg our readers to think
over these things, and begin to prepare themselves.
By July, we ought to have our candidates in the
field, without division. Soon, aye, very soon, we
should commence the work of organization. Let
men begin to think of clubs: and let clubs be as
brief in their resolutions as possible. Let them,
above all things, be wise, and careful not to waste
their strength in tilting against wind-mills.?

Fob tue Fabm, Garden, and Household.?We
can con finden tly recommend all our readers to
promptly provide themselves with tho American
Ayriculturist for 1870. We have received the first
number of the 29th annual volume, and find it
filled with a large amount of exceedingly practi?
cal useful information, not only on every subject
pertaining to soil culture, including the garden,
the lawn, and fllower bed, and the care of the lit?
tle plots of the city and village homestead, but al?
so for the housekeeper, and the children. Many
excellent engravings, both beautiful and instruc?
tive, give additional interest to every number.
Taken altogether, the American Agriculturist is one
of the most beautiful and valuable journals in the
world, adapted equally to city, village, and coun?
try, while it is a marvel of cheapness owing to its
unprecedented circulation, which divides the cost
of preparation among so many, that a great deal
can be given to each. Terms, $1.50 a year; four
copies $5, or ten copies for $12. It is richly worth
all it costs and more. Orange Judd & Co., Pub?

DEPARTED this life, on the 25th' day of De?
cember, 1869, at his residence in this Town, Mr.
MILFORD BTJRRISS, in the 55th year of his age.
The sadness produced by the death of this es?
teemed and useful citizen will long be felt by
many hearts. In no case, perhaps, has death
come more unexpectedly, or more forcibly sug?
gested to our minds the solemn declaration of our
Lord,?"Therefore, be ye also ready, for in suoh
an hour as you think not the Son of Man comcth."
No man within the range of our knowledge seem?
ed to possess in a higher degree tho elements of a
physical constitution which would encourage the
hope of a long life, than did our departed friend.
Suddenly, however, and to the astonishment of
all, were these hopes crushed by the fatal stroke
which told but too plainly that his days upon
earth were numbered, being deprived of the pow?
er of speech, ns well as in part the use of his
limbs. He remained speechless and helpless for
& few days after the shock, and then passed into
the spirit world. It is not, however, alone the
suddenness with which he was called away which
fills our hearts with sadness, but also the loss
which we have sustained. Industry and perse?
verance in his chosen pursuits were strikingly
characteristic of him from early life. To these
he attributed, under God's blessing, the practical
knowledge and means which he had acquired, and
by which he could be useful to thoso around him.
But it is in another and more sacred relation that
his loss is more keenly felt. As a husband he was
devoted and kind ; as a father, affectionate, tender
and indulgent, ever ready to consult the interests
and happiness of those thus committed to him ; as
a friend, he was ardent and confiding ; but while
our hearts are filled with sadness at the loss
which we have sustained in these respects, "wc
sorrow not as those without hope." Several years
ago he made profession of religion and united
with tho Anderson Baptist Church. Subsequent?
ly he removed his membership to a church in the
country, where it remained until about three
years ago, when his wife and two daughters joined
the Anderson Church. He then brought his mem?
bership again to the Church of which he was first
a member, where it remained until he was re?
moved, as we trust, to the Church triumphant,
where there is no more sickness, pain or death,
"and there is no night there, and they need no
candle, for the Lord God is the light of the City;"
and there is no more weeping, for God shall wipe
the tears from all faces, "and they shall hunger
no more, neither thirst any more."
"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep*
From which none ever wakes to weep ;
A culm and undisturbed ropose,
Unbroken by the last of foes."

ETIWAN GUANOS,
SOLUBDE MANURES, and SULPHURIC ACID, MANUFACTURED AT
CHARLESTON, under the direction of DR. N. A. PRATT, Chemist for the Sal
phutic Acid and Super-Phosphate Company.
Soluble Phosphoric Acid, in the form of Soluble Phosphate of Lime, or Dissolved Bone Phosphate,
is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these are valuable in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
which is in them.
The immense deposits of Phosphatic Guanos which were discovered in 1867 in South Carolina,
by Dr. Pratt, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which is mode available as a Fer?
tilizer by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a condition as to make its
insoluble phosphate soluble in water, and thus made capable of being taken up by growing plants.
The insoluble Phosphate found in any commercial Fertilizer is of no more value to the plant than
tho original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any
Fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required per acre, and consequently the cheapest Fertilizer
is that containing the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate.
Impressed with these truths, the Sulphuric Acid and Super-Phosphute Company have erected at
Charleston the first extensive Acid Chambers South of Baltimore, and are able to offer to plan*
ters the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate of'Lime known in any market.
Their Fertilizers are offered under two forms :
1. ETIWAN, NO. 1.?Pure Soluble Phosphate, guaranteed to contain 24 per cent of Dissolved
Bone Phosphate of Lime, $60 per ton, 10 percent, discount for cash.
2. ETIWAN, NO. 2.?Peruvian Superphosphate, guaranteed to contain 20 per cent, of Dissolved
Bone Phosphate, and 1} to 3 per cent of Ammonia, with a sufficient addition of Peruvian Guano
to adapt it to all crops, $70 per ton, 10 per cent, discount for cash.
We also offer Dissolved Bone, of high grade, for planters or manufacturers, who may desire to
mix into any other compost, and we suggest that this is the best and cheapest method for manufac?
turers to transport the Sulphuric Acid contained in the mixture. Will be sold at a fixed rate for
each per centage.
