person Intelligenter. m x ? : Sugar Can? vs. Cotton, We alluded last week to the success of Mr. M. J. Dean, of Smith County, Texas, in raising sugar Cane, and promised to re-print the re? port of his experiments, which will he found below, copied from the Tyler (Texas) Reporter. In a preceeding issue, the editor referred to Mr. Dean (in? the following terms : . ?No argument can induce our people to doubt the truth of the adage that "Cottou is King" ; and so pertenaciously do they cling to the idea that it is absolutely king, that in their efforts to produce the greatest possible quantities of it they lose sight of nearly everything else, even to the domestic economy and arrangements which make home comfortable. Occasionally we find a man who has summed up the courage to branch off from the regular track, and ven? ture .upon other agricultural pursuits as a spe? ciality, and in nearly every instance we find auch men not only more comfortable at home, but actually making as much, very often more, clear.money than his neighbors who look only to. the production of the great staple. "A man of this character is our friend Mr. M. J. Dean, who has for two or three years past been turning his attention especially to the cultivation of sugar cane, and has now about ready to cut a splendid crop, comprising several of the best Tarieties. In conversation with him a few days ago, he informed us that he would be able to nut upon the market this fall not less than 3,000 gallons of syrup, of a quality not surpassed by any sold in this market, as many who have used it will testify. Counting this.syrup at one dollar a gallon, and estimatiug at a fair price the labor expended in its produc? tion, we doubt whether any cottou raiser in the Qou.nty. with the same means will realize as nlucn. -clear money for his crep. Mr. Dean is prepared with all the latest and most approved machinery for the manufacture of syrup, and we advise our friends to see the quality and price of the article offered by him before send jag to distant markets, and this advice is appli? cable alike to merchants and people." Indian Creek, Smith Co., Texas, ) Oct. 31,1870. J Editor? Reporter: I have often been asked the question whether cane-raising is as profita? ble as cotton; also my mode of cultivating it. For the benefit of your many readers I will give my experience. When the war ended, I was like thousands of my Southern friends, broken up, and my first thought was to follow the business that would pay best with the least labor and capital. In 1866 I planted the Sor? ghum cane, and found it better than "king cotton"; but so many were prejudiced against it that I concluned to try the Ribbon cane. I bought one hundred stalks and planted. It did well. The next year I bought more seed, and planted one acre. The crop from the acre brought me $486. The next (last) year, I planted three acres; the yield was $250 per acre. The drought in August and September was the cause of the great falling off. I have now just begun to harvest my crop, and I think I have cane that will make 500 gallons of grup per acre, and perhaps will reach 600. >rtions of my cane were injured by the con? tinued wet season in the spring. I have about ten acres planted, and I feel confident it will ?rerage 300 gallons. Now your readers can compare the above with their cotton crops for the last three years, and easily tell which is the most profitable. I have never tried the cane on upland, but my neighbor, 'Wm. McClure, has tried it this year on common sandy blackjack land, and tells me it will beat cotton without manure. I.have changed my mode of cultivating and planting a little every year, as it has only been txperiraeutal with me. My plan for the next year is to bed up my land with two-horse plow and open beds with shovel, and cover light , about as we do corn. Cane should be planted about the last of February or first of March. It is said by experienced cane raisers that it should be planted in the fall, but in this coun? try I think spring is the best, especially in fresh land where there are stumps and roots; the wood lice are apt to destroy so much of it. I cut my cane so as to have two sound eyes on each piece, ?nd drop eighteen or twenty inches apart. I try to have a sprout every twenty inches when in first comes up, and by harvest? ing time it will be almost a solid mass. When the cane begius to come up, it should be barred off and the ridge scraped clear of grass and Weeds with hoes, aud in the course of fifteen or "wenty days the dirt should be thrown back to iL It is not necessary to plow out the whole fiddle, but will be no disadvantage to the cane If ic' is done. After two or three weeks it jhould be plowed out well, which will answer for the plowing. It should be hoed at least three times. The principal months for cane in ?bis- country are August and September. Har? vesting comes off the last of October or first of November. I use a common weeding hoe to }ut it. I throw ten or twelve rows together, denting the tops point to the South. The fodder will protect it from freeze and give time to strip and make up at your leisure. A boy ten years old will strip about as much cane as a grown hand The cost of Mill and Evaporator for small farm, say from one to ten acres, will cost about $200 in Cincinnati, Ohio, (currency); the freight and other expenses will perhaps run it up to $223 (specie) by the time it reaches here. The following table will show the whole cost of raising and manufacturing the cane. (It must be remembered that the interest on the machinery would be no more for manufacturing ten acres than for one.): Preparing or bedding land, 1 day's work for man and horse.$ 1 25 Taking up and cutting cane- to plant, 2 days for man. 1 50 Planting, one day's work for man, horse and cart. 1 75 I will allow two day's ploughing to an? swer for the acre. 2 50 Three days hoeing. 2 25 One day for cutting. 75 Two days for placing in wind-rows. 1 50 Four days for stripping. 3 00 One hand, wagon and team, one dav, hauling cane to mil!.... 4 00 Grinding and boiling, two hands, 75 et*, each, S boys to carry up cane and bear off bagasse, 50 cts. each, for five days. 20 00 Interest on machiuerv. 27 00 Total.,.....$65 50 M. J. DEAN. Grammatical De<tsions.?The New York Tribune decides that the plural of "Titmouse" is "Titmouse*," not "Titmice." "On the same principle," says another paper, "plural of a tai? lor's 'goose' is 'gooses,' " as indeed we hold that it is. This reminds us of an anecdote in re? gard to a country merchant who wanted two of these tailor's irons several years ago, and order? ed them from Messrs. Dunn <fe Spencer, hard? ware merchants, then doing business in this city. He first wrote this order: "Please send me 2 tailor's gooees." Thinking that this was bad grammar, he destroyed it and wrote this one: "Please send me 2 tailor's geese." Upon reflection, he destroyed this one also, for fear he might receive live geese. He thought over the matter until he was very much worried, and at last-, ih'a moment of desperation, he seized his pen and wrote- the- following>, which was. du? ly mailed: "Messrs. Dunn & Spencer: please send me one tailor's goose, and d?m it, 'smd me another.' ** This was the only way he knew ?f to order two of them ; but of course he had not read the above wise decision then.?Peters? burg Courier. ? Not that which men do worthily, but that which they do successfully, is what history tatens to record.. A Good Yield.?Mr. W. A. James, residing near Bishopville, says the Snmter Watchman, gathered last year from a twelve-acre lield an aggregate of six hundred and twelve bushels of corn, or fifty-one bushels to the acre. This was in addition to a "wilderness" of peas, (es? timated by him at six bushels to the acre,) from which eighteen fine porkers were prepared for the smoke-house, and his milch cows streamed their rich currents of milk, to say nothing of the unusually heavy crop of fodder gathered. Thelandupon which this corn, &c, was made, was such as, it is estimated by Mr. James, would have yielded about thirteen bushels to the acre, without fertilizers. The fertilizers applied were forty bushels of cotton seed and two hundred and eighty pounds of Peruvian Guano, to the acre. The land was well broken, and the ma? nure put down two or three weeks previous to planting. The corn was planted about the 10th of March, in rows five feet two and a half inches apart, with a distance of twenty-one inches on the row, and cultivated in his usual way? 51 bushels corn.$63.70 6 " peas. 7.50 500 pounds fodder. 6.24 $77.50 Value of fertilizers.$24.00 Cost of cultivating, say.3.00 -$32 00 Xet profit per acre.$45 50 Aggregate profit on twelve acres.$5-16 00 The cost of cultivation, it is believed, is put down at too high a figure, and yet the net profit, as shown by the fair calculation above, is $45.50 per acre. -??> Systematic Rules for Farming.?If far? ming is a science and a trade as we believe, then it ought to be done by rule. It has a sys? tem in principle, and it ought to have in prac? tice. There is a time, a place and a way for everything connected with the business?and the best success is to be found in practicing the best system. Farming is like house-keeping, or school-teaching, or manufacturing, in this respect?if it is not done systematically it is done to*"a great disadvantage. There is a waste and loss at all ends and corners?the waste in time is very great; the waste in pro? duce is not a little. IIow many farmers there are who do every? thing by guess or at random. They plow all soils alike for all crops ; they row when they happen to get ready, whether the season, the soil or the weather is right or not; they have no idea of the size of their fields nor the quan? tity of seed they put on to the acre. Ihey guess it is about right. They have no system of rotation of crops; no plan for saving ma? nures or fertilizing their soil; no way of drain? ing ; or feeding to their stock the most good with the least feed; the road is their cow-yard and pasture ; the door-yard is their hog-pen ; a rail fence is their only gate; their fowls are everywhere, where they ought not to be, de? stroying and wasting; their tools, carriages and harness arc always out of order and generally exposed to the sun and rain; their stock are wandering they know not where; their fences are fast going down or fast going to ruin; un? ruly horses, hogs and cattle are often breaking in where they ought not to be ; fence corners and headlands are growing up with briars and brush ; orchards uutrimmed ; gardens are neg? lected ; weeds grow; crops fail; stock die; tools break; family gets sick; expenses multiply; profits diminish; spirits flag; home becomes unhappy?who can tell what dots not follow that is miserable ? All this may be avoided by systematic farming. Every merchant knows that if his business is not done in order and in time, he is the loser. The farmer ought to know it. In no business is system more requi? site than in forming. The farmer has to do wifli fixed laws?they must be obeyed or he or his crops suffer. Order is heaven's first law, so it should be the farmer's.?Rural World. Repeal of the Test Oath.?The Charles? ton Daily Republican takes this magnanimous view of the action of Congress in repealing the test oatb : The House of Representatives, on Wednes? day last, passed Senator Sawyer's bili providing an oath of office for those persons elected or appointed to office under the United States Government, who, though not under the disa? bilities imposed by the 14tb amendment to the Constitution, are yet ineligible to the Federal offices on account of their participation in the late rebellion. It had previously passed the Senate, and only awaits the signature of the President to become a law. Tim act will render the great mass of the Southern people eligible to Federal offices ; offices from which hitherto they have been ex? cluded by the necessity of compliance with the provisions of the. act of July 2,1862. It breaks down one of the barriers which divided the people of the South into hostile classes. So long as the test oath remained as a bar to the political preferment of a million Southern citizena, they were bound together by a common exclusion from privileges which other citiz us enjoyed, and could scarcely be expected to act in political affiliation with the party who main? tained the policy of such exclusion. The num? ber of men who are affected by the disabling clause of the 14th amendment is so small, that the question of llicir relief from disabilities is comparatively unimportant. The test oath was an evil of far greater magnitude than the exis tance of all other political disabilities of citi? zens of the South. Its repeal is the best meas? ure which this Congress has adopted for substantial peace. Only those men whose hold upon public office is maintained by the fact that the great mass of our citizens arc ineligi? ble to such office, will regret the passage of such a law. Wc now hope that Congress will pass a bill of general amnesty for political offences. ? At their State Convention held in Austin on the 20th tilt., the Democracy of Texas pledged themselves to a full co-operation with the great Democratic party of the Union "to restore the government in its administration to the principles on which it was founded;" re? solved that the Federal government is one of delegated powers only; denounced the inter? ference of the administration in State elections, especially by the use of troops, as utterly fftib versive of free government; awl charged the Radical State government of Texas with sus? pending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, instituting military trials ol civilians, nullifying or forbidding elections, continuing itself in power beyond the term for which it was elected, imposing the most grievous and unprecedented taxes, and exposing every house? hold in the State to domiciliary visits without warrants by a corps of armed and mounted po? lice spies. This strong indictment there is every reason to believe entirely sustainable by the facts, and in their efforts to overthrow the present regime which oppresses them the De? mocracy of Texas merit tue sympathy of all friends of good government* "Choose Ye."?A glass of whiskey is man? ufactured from about seventy grains of corn, the value of which is too small to be estima? ted. A glass of this mixture sells for a dime, and, if a good brand, is considered worth the money. It is drank in n minute or two. It fires the brain, nnd deranges and weakens the physical system. On the same sideboard on which the deleterious beverage is served lies a newspaper. It is covered with a half mil1 ion type?it brings intelligence from the four quar? ters of the globe. The newspaper costs less than the glass of gm?;, but it is not less true that there is a larjie number of people who think corn juice cheap and newspapers dear! The newspaper is a source of pleasure and en lightenniei!; to the home circle, as the family are gathered around the bright-glowing fire on a winter evening, and the results of newspaper reading prove beneficial through life. Want of Courage.?Sidney Smith, in his work on moral philosophy, speaks in this wise of what men lose for the want of a little brass, as it is termed : I "A great deal of talent is lost to the world I for die want of a little courage. Every day ! sends to i-heir graves a number of obscure men, j who have only remained in obscurity because : their timidity has prevented them from making ,' a first effort; and who, if they only can be in I duced to begin, would in all probability have gon<! great lengths in the career of fame. The ; fact is, that in order to do anything in the ! world worth doing, we must not stand shiver ! ing on the bank, thinking of the cold and dan? ger, but jump in and scramble through as best we can. It will not do to be perpetually cal? culating risks and adjusting nice chances. It did all very well before the flood, when a man could consult a friend upon an intended publi? cation for one hundred and fifty years, and then live to see its success for six or seven centuries afterwards ; but at present a man waits, and doubts and hesitates, and consults his brother, and his uncle, and his first cousin, and his par? ticular friends, till one day he finds that he is sixty-five years of age; that he has lost so much good time in consulting his first cousins and particular friends that lie has no more time left to follow their advice. There is so little time for over squeamishness at present, the oppor? tunity slips away at the very period of life at which a man chooses to venture, if ever. It is no bad rule to preach up the necessity, in such instances of a little violence done to the feel? ings, and of efforts made in defiance of strict and sober calculation." A Hospital Romance?They relate some very interesting stories, full of romance, about the*French prisoners in the German hospitals. For instance, one writer says: "In a corner of the room was a young artil lerymau with a face of the strangest beauty I could have conceived it possible for a man to possess. His attitude"was so motionless, that it might have been taken for death, but that his eyes were open, and looking with a long, wear? ing gaze through a window that was opposite. He was a Brenton, and had had two brothers. They fought aide by side in the same regiment at Sedan, and where he lay after the battle greviously wounded, and his two brothers lay dead beside him. The mother of the three young soldiers was a widow; and when she heard the news she set out from Brittany to go to her last son, but died of grief on the way. The violets that lay upon his bed were sent to him by a young girl who lived in the town, whohad never seen him, but who had heard in common with all, his sad story." The Law of Flirtation.?The legal gen? tlemen have begun to lay down the "law of flirtation," and if the opinions of certain judges are to be taken as conclusive, the frolic? some and sentimental young men and women of the day will have to exercise considerable caution. Chief Justice Parker, of Massachusetts, announces the opinion of the Supreme Court of that State that an engagement "may be proved by those circumstances which especially accompany*such a connection," and the Ken? tucky Court of Appeals has declared that the mutuality of au engagement may be proved against a young lady "by showing that sne de? meaned herself as if she concurred in or ap? proved the young man's promises or offer. It is not necessary that there should be an ex? press promise on either side." England to Take a Census.?A census of England is to be taken shortly. The night of the 2d of April has been fixed upon as the time for raking it. During the week preceeding that date a blank will be left with every individual occupier of a house of lodgings in the United Kingdom, who shall correctly fill the blank with all necessary particulars concerning even person who may be abiding with him on that night. A failure to do this properly, and as the law directs, will entail upon the offender a fine of twenty shillings. On the morning of the 3d of April all these filled-up blanks will be collected by the enumerators, what errors may exist are corrected, and by the 1st of June the returns will be ready for publication. They do this thing better in England than we do here. There are very few mistakes made, and there is no quarrelling over the census. A TErmir.le Tragedy.?It is with much pain that wc chrouicle the occurrence of an un? fortunate tragedy in our community. On yes? terday morning, about 2 o'clock, Mr. James Hyde, a citizen of this County, who lives but a few miles from the city, was killed by Mr. W. G. Long, one of our citizens. The jury have not yet completed their investigation of the affair ; but we are led to believe that the ter? rible deed was committed by Long while" he was laboring under a fit of mental hallucina? tion, to which he is known to have been sub? ject. After shooting his victim, he chrushed his skull with blows dealt with the stock of the gun. The unfortunate man lingered until last night, when he died. Mr. Hyde was an old man, of peaceable habits and leaves a family to lament his melancholy death.?Greenville Mountaineer* An Elaborate Compliment.?A Kentucky newspaper draws the following delightful pic? ture of Horace Maynard, the Kadical member of Congress from East Tennessee: Perhaps there is not a more corrupt political scoundrel on God's green earth than the can? ting, hypocritical, Cape Cod, nasal twang, pur? itanical wretch, Horace Maynard, the member of Congress from the Knoxville district, in East Tennessee. Brownlow himself in a para? gon of honesty, integrity and moral worth when compared with the long-haired, Psalm-singing Maynard. He is one of the wretches that has stood up in Congress and urged the Federal Government to pour out its vials of wrath on the Southern people, Wc trust that we may never meet Horace Maynard on earth. We know wo will never meet him in the next world. -.4?. ?

Few parents realize how much their chil? dren may be taught at home by devoting a few moments to their instruction every day. ? A celebrated writer says:?"No woman can be a lady who can wound and mortify an? other.

When you see a man yawn and close his eyes during the sermon, it is a sign that he is getting sleepy. When you see a man trying to convince & lamp post that it is impolitic to try to get in the way of a gentleman, it is a sign that he has been drinking?lemonade, perhaps. When you see a boy throwing stones on the street and speaking impudently to old people, it is a sign that his parents don't care much for him. When you see a girl throwing kisses and winking at the boys as they pass her window, it is a sign that she is too young to be out of sight of her maternal relative. When you see young gentlemen and ladies whispering and giggling and writing notes in church it is a sign that the man who teaches Sood manners omited to give them a call when e came along the last time. ? Cards of admission into fashionable churches are coming into use in New York. Many of the preachers in these establishments will need something more than cards to gain admission into Heaven. ? A story is told in Oregon about a young man who proposed in a Sunday School that "a committee of youDg ladies and gentlemen be appointed to raise children for the Sunday School." ? The son of Hou. Lewis Cass, of Miehigan, who inherits his father's vast fortune, hisname, and a share of his gifts and graces is residing in Brussels. ? A correspondent of a New York paper says: In strong contrast to instances of Ger? man clemency is the following, which is a true re? cital of what happened in a recent encounter: The Fourth Company of the One Hundred and Seventh Prussian Regiment had taken a French camp, most of whose occupants fled, while those who remained feigned surrender.. The German officer in command advanced with a polite bow to the French chief, who while delivering up his sword with one hand sudden? ly fired a revolver at the German with the other. He was but slightly wounded, but the rest of of the French soldiers taking the shot as a signal, fired upon him simultaeously, and he fell pierced with many mortal wounds. The Germans, who were in much larger numbers, were so maddened with rage at the sight of their dead leader that they fell upon the French prisoners and put them all to death. ? The following specimen of bar eloquence in a not-distant Western State was actually de? livered, as we know from a correspondent, and reported in his notes. The case was the trial of a person on a writ of inquirendo lunatic. Which side the "learned" and eloquent advo? cate was on it is somewhat difficult to ascertain from his speech: "The counsel on the other side, Sir, misapprehends the principle involved in this apportant case. Law, Sir, is very sim? ple if we understand its elementary principles. The principle of this case, Sir, is to be found in the hornbooks of the profession. I hold in my hand, a volume of Blackstone, Sir, the great author of the English law ; yes, Sir, I hold in my hand, Sir, that glorious magnus chartus, the foundation and bulwark of English liberty, which "was wrung by the illustrious King John, sword in hand, from the bloody barons on the banks of the pleasant Bonnymede, on that mo? mentous occasion !
