The system of deep plowing m fall and winter, surface culture in spring and suni mer,.together With liberal applications of fertilizers* heretofore urged in our col? umns, has been severely tested during the past extraordinarily jgry summer, and wo hesitate not to say, has. been completely vindicated; 1 Oar people Irave been more firmly convinced than evor that .tho judi? cious use of iertilizors will pay. We de? sire to call attention, now, at the very beginning of the yeai^s work;, to the fact that the degree in which they will pay is very directly, proportioned to the thor? oughness of preparation of the soil. In all cases, where the land has been broken up keep, and well pulverizcfd, it has with? stood the effects of drought' decidedly better, retaining its moisture longer and giving tho fertilizers a longer time to as? sist in the development of the plant. Wo suppose.a)great many of our readers will purchase largely of fertilizers again for the next crop?we would not advise any one to do. so who has not made up his mind to,; and. has afl; the appliances, tor, thor? ough preparation of his land. If this has not already been done, now is the time to begin?whenever the ground is dry not. only at the surface, but as far.jdown as | the plow goes, opfen deep and wide the &rrowc8, that the rains of heaven and the fertilizing gasos of the air may enter and make all:twttgs- ready' f?r-fhe ensu'eing crop. No thoughtful or observant man ca.n .doubt..the. great superiority of the system which prepares a few acres thor? oughly, as compared with, that which spreads itself over as many acres as pos? sible giving them the most* careless and slovenly preparation. With a given quantity of capital, labor, manure,. &c., itj is. easier to; make 10 bale's of cotton from. 10 acres than from 40. This has been shown agnth and" again by the expe rienco of the last two years, but we are so much,,the creatures of habit, have cul? tivated fifteen, twenty or thirty acres .to the hand so long, and largo fiejds 'and abundant harvests seom so naturally as? sociated together, that almost every far? mer is .tempted .to plant too many acres.

West,) is t? divide the manure heap, whether: home-made or commercial fertilizers, by iho .quantity required'to manure one .acre well, arid the qaotient%ill give the correct number of acres to "cultivate. ?

The Value of Little Things.?From time immemorial, the British government have always caused a red worsted thread to be woven into the cordage manufac? tured at their roperies. The object of this thread is to prevent pilfering, and to facil? itate the recovery of stolen property.? Oii'e finetnorning it struck a poor man in Chatham dockyard that a jute thread would do as well as one of tho worsted. The experiment was tried. The rope with the jute thread in it was tested in a varie? ty of ways, by being exposed to salt wa? ter and the weather for a sufficiently long period and the result was that worsted was abandoned. Such is the magnitude of government transactions that by sim? ply substituting that thread of jute for one of worsted, Great Britain saves ?1,800 a year forever, or at least as long as British ships want rope. ? , -? ?

One of tho most striking cases of pres .enceof mind and self-possession of which we have any recollection, came to light on a trial which-took place some years sinee in Ireland. Tho Rtory looks liko a fic? tion, bu-t it is said to be strictly true. A woman travelling along a road to join her husband, who was a soldier quartered at Athlone,. was joined by a pedlar who was going the samo way. They entered into conversation during a walk of some hours, and as tho day began to wane, they agreed that they should stop for the night at a houso of entertainment, and pursuo their pedestrian journey the next day. They reached an humble inn, situated in a lonely spot by tho road side, and fa? tigued by a long day's walk, they were glad to find themselves under a- roof. Having refreshed themselves with the substantial .supper set bclore them they expressed a wish to retire. They were shown wrto thc\travellersr room and went to rest in their respective beds. Tho ped? lar, bofore retiring, had called the land? lord aside and given into his keeping the pack which ho had unstrapped from his back till morning, telling him that it con contained a considerable sum of money and much valuable property. They were not long in bed before the pedlar fell into a sound sleep.; but the poor woman, per? haps from over-fatigue, or from thoughts of meeting her husband next day, lay awake. A couple of hours might have passed, when she saw the door opened, and a person entering holding a light, which ho screened with his hand. She instantly recognized in him ono of the young men she had seen below?son to the landlord. He advanced "with stealthy steps to the bedside cf tho. pedlar, and watched him for a few-seconds. Ho then wont out, and entered again with his brother and father, who held in his band a large pew? ter basin. They wont on tiptoo to the bedside whera the pedlar lay in a deep sleep. One of the young men drew out a knife, and while the father held the ba? sin so as to catch tho blood, he cut the poor victim's throat from ear to ear. A slight, half-audible groan, and all was still, save.the cautious movements of the party engaged in tho deed. They had brought with them a large sack, into which they quickly thrust tho unresisting body. The poor woman lay silent in her bed, fearing that her turn would como next. She heard low muUcrings among the men, from which she soon gathered that they wore doubting whether they should mur? der her, too, as they feared she might have it in her power to betray them. One of them said he was sure she was asleep, and that there was no occasion to trouble themselves moro; but to make sure of this being the case ono of them camo to the bedsido with the candle in his hand, and tho other with a knife. Sho kept her eyes closed as if in sleep, and had such complete command over herself as not to betray in her countenance any sign that sho was conscious of what was going on. Tho candle was placed close to her eyes, the knifo drawn across close to her throat; she never winced, or showed by an}' movement of feature or of limb that sho apprehended danger. So the men whispered that sho was sound asleep ?that nothing was to bo icarcd from hei-, and they went out of tho room, removing the sack, which contained the murdered man. How long that night must have seemed to the poor lone woman?how frightful was its stillness and darkness! The pres? ence of mind which had so astonishingly enabled her to act a part to which she owed heriife, sustained her through all tho trying scones which sho had yet to pas6. She did not hurry from her room at-an unreasonable hour, but waited until she heard all tho family astir for some time;.then went down and said that she believed that she had overslept herself in consequence of being gically tired. She asked whero tho pedlar was, and was told ho was in loo great a hurry to wait for her, but that he had left sixpenco to pay for her breakfast. She sat composedly to that meal, and forced herself to partake with apparent appetite of tho food setbo foro her. When the meal was over, sho took leavo of the family, and went on her way without the least appearance of discomposuro or mistrust. Sho had proceeded but a short way when sho was joined by two strapping looking women. One look was sufficient to convince her that they wore the two young men, and ono thought to assure her that sho was yet in their power, and on tho very verge of destruction. They walked sido by side, ontcred into conversation, asked her whero sho was going, and told her that their road lay tho samo way; they questioned her as to whero she lodged tho night beforo, and made most minute inquiries about the family inhabiting tho houso of entertain? ment. Her answers were quite unembar? rassed, and sho said the house had ap? peared to be decent and civil, and had treated her very well. For two hours the young men contin? ued by her side watching with tho most scrutinizing glances any chango in her countonancc, and asking questions which, had she not been fully self-possessed, might havo put her off her guard. It was not till her dreaded companions had left her, and till sho saw her husband coming along tho road to meet her, that sho lost her self-command which siio had so suc? cessfully exorcised, and throwing herself into his arms fainted, away. ? Women now regularly attend tho medical lectures in tho University of Edinburgh. Tho male students, with true Scotch courage, say that if the women can stand tho arrangement, thoy think they can without experiencing uncommon dj?iculty. ? Mark Twain says Horaco Grcelcy once tried to make a living as a writing man and failod. His copy was, "Virtuo is its own reward," and tho scholars got it, "Washing with soap is wholly absurd." ? A lady in Kansas, just from tho East, tho other day noticed an animal from the car window, and inquired of tho pea-nut boy if it was a buffalo. The boy answered in a twinkling: "Thorn's a mule." ? Look out for pcoplo who go about professing to bo better than all the rest of mankind. If your purse isn't in any par? ticular danger, your character may bo. , Condition of Affairs in the' South. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says: If anything were required to nail the falsehoods of the Radical's about Georgia to the counter, it will be found in tho annexed'extracts from tho official report of Major General 'Ilalieck, commanding the military Di? vision of the South, accompanying the annual report of. the Secretary of War. It will be found in direct antagonism with that of General Terry, upon which was pretendedly based tho necessity of the expulsion of that State. General llal tcclc's report bears date November G, 1809. I quote: "Inspection and other reports, howev? er, represent it to be entirely tranquil-, ex? cept in certain districts of Georgia and North Carolina, where there has been some disorders requiring military inter? ference, the civil authorities being unwil? ling or unablo to enforce the laws for the protection of life arid property. "It is not easy at the present time to determine upon the extent and character of these alleged disorders; but official in? vestigations have generally proved the reports to be oither unfounded or great? ly exaggerated. "After a careful examination of all tho evidence I have been ablo to collect from official reports and tho statements of offi? cers and citizens, unbiased by partisan feelings, I am forced to tho conclusion that the amount of crime committed in the several States of tho division is very littlq greater than, boforo tho. rebellion, and certainly no greater than was reason? ably to be expected at the close of an em? bittered and prolonged civil war, .when large numbers of lawless and desperate characters, both at the North and in tho South, were turned loose upon society without any legitimate means of support Certain districts of country may, and probably do form exceptions.to this gen? eral romark; but even of these excep? tional cases very few have any partisan character or political significance. Thoso who murder and rob do so simply as mur? derers and robbers, influenced by the mo? tives which ordinarily incite men to com? mit theie crimes. One of the worst des? peradoes in Kentucky served in the Union army during the war; but he and his band now rob and murder rebels and loyalists alike, as may best suit their purposes, at one time claiming to bo Ku Klux, and at another to be anti-Ku Klux. Although there may be special organizations of out jaws, in particular localities, under the name of Ku Klux, I am of tho opinion that no such- general organization now exists in the Southern States. Itisprob aole, however, that outlaws not unfre? quently assume this name in order to in? timidate tho weak and credulous, especi? ally when calculated to increase their own importance. In regard to tho interference of mili? tary officors in difficulties under tho pleas of maintaining peace and good order, I think that no such military interference should he permitted, except on tho requi? sition of the Governor of a Stato, and by order of the President, as provided by law. The principal occupation of the troops, in certain localities, has been in assisting rev? enue officers to execute the revenue laws. It is very natural that these officers should call for the assistance of troops whenever they can get it, for by this means they avoid dan? ger and trouble, and increase their own emol? uments at the expense of military appropria? tions. .-?-? Why the Disabilities of Southern Mex are not Removed.?People must not misunderstand tho motives of Con? gress in refusing to grant a general am? nesty, and preferring to pass Bills every now and-then giving pardons to specially named individuals. This course ie pur? sued for a purpose baser and more vile than mere politics. Not alone that they arc thus enabled to drum up recruits for the Republican party in the South by excluding all who lean to the Democratic party from the privilege of amnesty. Tho chief object is to keep open the door for corruption and bribery. A general amnesty would yield no money; individ? ual amnostios can be, and often are, made a sourco of revenuo to tho mon who deal them out. I cannot ea}r positively that any mcmbor of Congress has been paid diroetly for securing the insertion of a name in an amnesty Bill, but I can say that persons have paid as high as one hundred dollars for that privilege. Tho monoy is paid to tho influential friends oi Radical members of tho Reconstruction Committee, and I take it that this stato of affairs is not entirely unknown to thoso members. Men come here from the South to got thoir disabilities removed. They want to be eligiblo for office of some kind. They aro very soon directed to somo ono who can have their names insorted in tho noxt bill, and for this in. sertion they aro willing to pay liberally. Their money is takon?nor do I believe it all goes into the pockets of tho mon who first receive it. Thcso arc facts of which every mcmbor of Congress is awaro. Time was whon tho mcro suspi? cion of this truth would have called for a searching investigation. But corruption stalks so shamelessly abroad, and so per j monies every department of tho Govern? ment now?from the Executivo who sells his Cabinet positions to tho highest bid? der, to tho bureau chiefs, who extort dollar donations from the starving clerks under them?that it is dangerous to start an enquiry, because it is impossible to tell where it will stop or to what it will load. One of theso days the peoplo will wake up to tho fact that greater crimes may bo committed against a nation by thievos disguised in the livery of loyalty than by bravo mon wearing oponly tho uniform of rcbollion.? Wash. Cor. Cincin? nati Enquirer. -<> Masonry.?Older than tho art by which thcso words aro presented to the reader? older than those social and legal forms which we, presumptuous mortals as wo are,call civilization?older than tho Grook thought?older than the Pyramids, them? selves its monuments?older than tho most antiquo tradition of Zorastor or J-anncs or Jambros?old as tho Eternal Kills themselves, is tho Mystic Brother? hood of tho Squaro and Compass. Ex? istent, through its principles in tho very elemonts of Nature and of Nature's God, its origin as a human organization must bo referred far back within the Night of Timo?back, far back to that cloudy and misty period, dim with tho twilight of ages, when the Angels of God came down to "hold familiar converse with men," and tho earth was still virgin in its primal freshness. For they who date Masonry back only as far as tho building of Solo? mon's Temple, unquestionably err. They have not ontcrcd the inner court of its mysteries nor penetrated tho sacred adytum of its holiness. Masonry had reached its symmetry as .a human organ? ization at least as early as the building of the great Egyptian pyramids, that in? scrutable monument of mysteries forever to be hidden from unmasonic eyes, and hides within its heart vaster and pro founder secrets than tho initiated can grasp. Masonry was in its full symmetry and perfection as a human organization when tho bricks of the great pyramid were still in their original elements, ages anterior to the birth of thoso who fash? ioned it. For of necessity wherever man lived, and felt within his soul the necessi? ty of a God, there masonry erected its temple; spread its tesselated pavements, and gathered its worshippers to tho con? templation of those mysteries which none but tho initiated may behold. Masonry is the consequence of God's creation of mankind. It is not possible that there was ever a time when Masonry was not, God being God, and man being as he is. For Masonry indeed is but the earliest and the strongest effort of fallen man to build anew the desecrated temple of his polluted humanity, and erect an altar., wheroin worship as of old could bo offored to the "UltimatePerfection whose name may not be spokon." Wherever Faith, Hope, Charity, the kindly word and the brotherly act exist, there the altar-fires of Masonry blaze brightly, with their unquenchable vestal flame. Rather Duskt.?The town of Pitts burg, Pa., is noted far and wide for its smoky and dingy appearance. The editor of the Louisville (Ivy.) Sun gives the fol? lowing unique description as how it looks and how to look at it: Pittsburg people never have fresh air, except when out of town. They live on coal smoke and floating cinders. We in? haled seven tons of coal the first day we were there. The people breathe smoke, eat smoke, chew smoke and cary it loose in their pockets. It is now* seventy-two years since Pittsburg has been warmed or reached by the sun's rays. Once a streak of sunshine, for several years condensing, undertook to penetrate the cloud of smoke over the city, got lost, became smoked, and fell like a stunning edition of the "Black Crook." The ladies use smoke and coal dust to protect their complexions. Little boys and girls stand on the corners with wet brooms and sponges to wash people's faces in Pittsburg. At the post?tfice window the clerk distinguishes the people by cer? tain signs, it being impossible to see their faces for the layers of coal dust and smoke. We saw a little boy crying on the street because lie had lost his father, who was six feet ahead of him in the blackness. Every one wears mourning in Pittsburg. A barber once went there to color hair and whiskers. He raore'n busted in a week! Men kiss each others wives in Pittsbnrg, unablo to tell which is their own only by the taste. Women send children on errands, first writing on their faces with a thumb nail or wet sticks.? People feel their way by door knobs, and read by raised type. A man once stood in his room with the window raised, changed his shirt nine times in four min? utes, and only got a clean one on him when the window fell by accidcut and kept the smoke out. Meet a man with a cold who had been blowing his nose, and that organ looks like a burned stump on eacH eido of which a woodchuck had been burrowing. Bedclothes are unknown in Pittsbnrg. Leave the window open and sheets of smoke settle upon you like newspapers from amaehine press. Some years since some 8jiow fell into the city through the cloud of smoke?the smoke was not hurt, but the snow looked sick ! Men carry lan? terns to see to shako hands. When look? ing at a watch to see the hour, it is the fashion to light a match. They make broadcloth by hanging a spider's web out till filled with smoke, and use hot coal dust for pepper. They roll tho smoke, sweet? ened, into sticks and sell it for liquorice. Licentious Literature.?It is becom? ing a serious question as to what to do with the licentious literaturo wookly is? sued from the press. It is increasing in quantity and in depravity, and evidently finds fewer impediments to circulation tnan a short time ago. ? Tho matter is indeed becoming serious. Awhilo ago certain publications were for a time suppressed which to-day are freely distributed. Now, tho immunity attend? ing tho publishing tends to givo a false air of respectability to the dirty sheets. And, indeed, firms which have tho general rep? utation of respectability are engaging in this prostitution of the press, and so in? calculably increasing the evil. Thus it will be found that Frank Leslie himself publishes one of these nasty sheets, widely circulated throughout tho country, and finding a considerable circulation even in Charleston. Viewing that and others of its class, and tho unnientionably foul po lico gazoites, and then the licontiousncss of the moro unprincipled of tho daily press, and, surely, thinking, conscientious men must find cause for alarm in the mag nitudo of tho evil wo aro hero consider? ing. It is impossible to approach an ostimato of tho corruption produced by this licen? tious literature. We can only know that it is poison and poison continually to our social life, and tho moro subtle and pow? erful because, as wo havo said, much of it passes undor such a guise of respectabili? ty as insures its admission to. wide and ever-widening circles. What with tho most loathsomo dotails of crimes, and what with tho sensuous pictures given in theso publications?sensuous enough to affect thoso at all imaginative and espe? cially tlio young and unguarded, and so to smutch thoir souls; and yet at the samo timo coming just inside the palo of the law ?and it will thus bo seen that tho evil is not only gigantic but all too little heeded. As for our own people, it is time for us to resolve that New York and Boston shall not continue to flood our markets with this sensual and hellish literature.? Daily Republican.
