A Fence Law.
Hb. Editob?I have been a subscriber, to.
the Furmand Home from its first number down
to the present time, and have generally ap?
proved the coarse yon have pursued in a a v oca-,
cy. of agricultural reform, and in exposure of
the many abases ander which agriculture la?
bors. Bat I have never seen anything from
you or any of your contributors in reference to
what is called the fence lawB of tbe Southern
States. I regard it as a subject of great im?
portance, and one on which those who have the
time, ability and knowledge ought to enlighten
their fellow-citizens, with a view to inducing
the Legislatures of tbe States to devise' some
adequate-remedial measures against the evils
of the present system.
Were the farmers of the South pioneer set?
tlers in the backwoods, who had just commen?
ced to make a clearing, few in number, and
scattered over an immense area of wild land, I
could see some sense as well as justice in the
present fence laws, which compel every-man
to' inclose his lands to protect himself against
the depredations of his neighbor's roving cat
-tle. Xhe area of cultivated land being in that
case so small in proportion to that which is
wild, there would be manifest reason in com?
pelling the settler to inclose hiB patch and al?
low his neighbors to let their stock roam at
large in the forest. The greatest good of the
greatest number is a sound law, in the abstract,
at all events, and would be justly applicable to
such a state of society. But the same reasons
which would demand the passage and enforce?
ment of such a law for a frontier settlement,
prove its gross and oppressive injustice when
applied to an old and thickly-settled country.
Why, in tbe name of common sense, am I com?
pelled to maintain twelve or thirteen miles of a
hideous fence round my plantation at an annu?
al cost of upwards of a thousand dollars, in
order to prevent the cattle and hogs which my
neighbors choose to turn loose, seeking what
they may devour, from destroying my crops
and robbing my property ?
A couple of months ago, half a dozen sharp-,
nosed, saw-backed hogs, belonging to a vaga?
bond' negro, who has squatted on the land of
one of my neighbors, and whose only means of
subsistence is what he can pilfer from the com?
munity, broke through or rooted their way un?
der my boundary fence and played the wild
with as .fine a patch of rutabagas as you ever
saw. I caught them in the act. I was as mad
as a hornet. I wanted to kill somebody or
something, and went straightway for my gun
to inflict the death penalty on the hogs. But I
remembered that there is a "fence law," which
says that unless my fence is a certain prescribed
height, and built in a certain way, strange hogs
have a right to eat up not only my rutabagas
but all my crops, ana that I have no redress,
and that if, not having a lawful fence, I injure
stock that may trespass on my land, I am liable
? damages to the extent of double their value.
I went to examine the fence to sec if it was
"lawful," and found that it lacked a rail of the
necessary heigh t^ and that, therefore, I was
clearly in the wrong, and the Btgro's nogs as
clearly in the right, I give you this as a prac?
tical'illustration of the working of this law. I
and my neighbors are compelled to keep up
hundreds- of miles offences, not to protect our?
selves against each Other, for we have all agreed
to fence up our stock, but to protect ourselves
against the incursion of the hogs and lean kine
ef just such individuals as the African squatter
whom I have described.
We are grievously taxed as a class. We have
a temble burden to carry, but of all the taxes
imposed upon us, this fence tax is the most
grievous and the meet unjust, because every ar?
gument which can be adduced to justify a tax,
proves that this one should be removed, because
tt is injurious to everybody. It is wholly' un?
profitable and unnecessarv. Calculate how
much a planter pays annually to keep his fences
in repair, to keep them up to the "lawful", stan?
dard, and then calculate the value of the stock
against which, these fences are required^ and.
you will see how the law operates. I am prac?
tically taxed, say a thousand dollars a year, -to
enable this African squatter to keep half a
dozen hungry shoats running loose on other
men's property.?Southern Farm and Home. ]
The Loose Economy of our Fence Laws.
The fences of the United States have cost I
roosamoney than the houses, cities included;,
.more than the ships, boats, vessels of every de?
scription, on all the oceans, lakes and riven ;
more than our manufactories, of all-kinds, with
their machinery; more than any class of prop
erty, aside from real estate, except, it may be,
the railroads of our country. This may be like
an exaggerated statement, out a little estimate
will show that it is not extravagant as would at
first appear:
The hrst cost of the fences of New York State
was between $100,000,000 and $100,000,000.?
Robinson gives it at $144,000,000. Assuming
this to be approximately correct, and esti?
mating the first cost of the fences of other States
on the same basis, we have, as the total first'
cost of the fences of the whole country, the vast
sum of $1,295,000,000. . . j
This requires to be renewed once in ten years,1
giving $129,000,000 as the annual cost, towhich.
should be added, however, at least half as much:
for repairs, making the aggregate Bum of $194,
000,000 as tbe annual national expense?a sum
we believe below the actual figures, yet quite
beyond comprehension. Jame3 T. Worthing
ton, of Ohio, says that there are $18,000,000 of
laud in Ohio, inclosed within 45,000 miles of
fences, at a prime cost of $115,000,000, and a
yearly expense for repairs, etc., of $7,680.000.
IT roadside and boundary fences can be dis?
pensed with, half the cost of fencing' will be
saved. That cost is now an annual tax of
$1.50 on every acre of iiriproved land in the
United States?the "fence tax" beiug twice or
thrice as great as the aggregate of the State and
local taxes combined.
Why can not a large portion of this outlay
be saved for some profitable investment. Eve?
ry dollar rescued from fences may be added to
productive wealth. Fences are dead capital ;
they pay no interest and are a constant, drain
upon the pocket. A* Mr. Greeley says: "We
poison our land with fences; they are a shelter
for weeds, as well as a vast and useless expense.
The indirect cost which they inflict is almost as
much as the direct. A Virginia zigzag fence
occupies five acres for every hundred inclosed,
thus imposing a five per cent, tax on the market
value of the soil?a tax which would be felt to
be oppressive if it was for the payment of the
national debt instead of for the shelter of a
growth of weeds."
Shall we fence stock out or in ? There is no
doubt that our people now expend four times its
much money to fence stock out as it would be
require to fence it in. Our present custom,
which requires universal fencing, is tho worst
blunder the practical American people ever '
made. Enterprising and original iu many mat-1
ten*, they are here following slavishly, genera- j
tion after generation, the habit of the earliest
English settlers?following it, through very ex?
pensive and inconvenient, because it is the
good old war. Europe has learned a more
rational way.' There are ten times more fences
in Illinois than- in Germany; and Duchess
county in New York has more than all France.
In France, Germany and Holland, farmers
hold their lands ? in.-c jmmon, with only narrow
paths between them.
The immense cost of sustaining fences; the
inconvenience of having them always in the
way of thorough tillage, and of easy egress and
ingress to the premises; the impassable snow
drifts accumulated by them ; the shelter they
afford to weeds and briars; the protection they
afford to many of the worst animal pests of the
farm, and their unsightly appearance generally
throughout the ?country, as the receptacle of
stone-heaps, piles of brush and dead leaves! and
to say nothing of the countless acres rendered
worse than useless by their occupancy, would
seem sufficient reasons for disposing of fences
where not indispensable for' purposes of pas?
turing. _ m h ti
' Gen. Jackson's- Marriage.?A correspon?
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial famishes ]
the following:
Judging from the row made over the Eussian
minister's domestic afiairs, should a marriage
now occur in high life under the circumstances
of Jackson's, there would be a tornado of wrath
from the pure and spotless spirits of this en?
lightened age, whose principal enjoyment of
life consists in not letting anybody else enjoy
his:
In one of Jackson's trips from here to Nash?
ville, he stopped some time there, and boarded
at the house of Mrs. DoneLson's, widow of Col.
John Oonelson, an. emigrant from Virginia.? I
With Mrs.* Dohelsdn lived her daughter, a I
bright, beautiful, intelligent lady, who was un?
happily married to One Bobard, a man of disso?
lute habits and jealous-disposition. Jackson,
being at the same -house/saw much of this
lady, and her unhappy situation made a deep
impression upxra foi?. sympathy. As often^oc-1:
curs in auch cases, his sympathies ripened into
love, but he kept it to himself as much as pos?
sible^ Robard became intensely jealous and
appHerlTxrthe Leg^latnre'brVirginia for a~dr- f
vorce, and soon after, much to Jackson's joy,
intelligence came that-it had-been granted.? L
Mrs. Bobard was theu' M.^atoher., Miss.r:andf
thither Jackson followed lier. jHe paid' "her r
his addresses, and she, considering herself free,
accepted him and they were married a few
months after and returned to Nashville.
1 Two.vears ?fter, much .to Jackson's mortifi
cation, he learned that the Virginia Legislature
had not granted a divorce, but had only au?
thorized a suit for a divorce in a Kentucky
court, and that the divorce had just been]
granted, 30 that he had actually been married]
two years to unother man's wiiel There was I
no other course left open but to take out a I
license and be married again, which was done. I
{ It is str?ng2 that he should have -lived two
years with a woman lawfortl^' the wife '6? an-J
other man, and not knowing l^Tiaving ho hint]
Of the divorce proceedings in Kentucky, but j
such is the story, brought down to us by tradij I
tibn. Those were days of slow communication, J
and men were apt to have imperfect knowledge
of passing events.
I Carrying Deadly Weapons.?The follow?
ing short sermon, from the Macon Telegraph,
is so good that we transfer it to our columns :
The amount of pistolling now going on in I
Georgia calls loudly for a general nalt?a sur?
vey of the situation?and a determined and
universal effort for reform. The Georgia pa-J
pere by yesterday's mail were speckled all over]
with .drunken < pistolling., Many a man who I
jwoke np Christmas morning in health and
[peace" was: a bloody corpse before night; from
no cause which would have evoked a harsh
word had parties been sober; and just about
the same number laid the tuundatiou for life?
long misery in taking life without substantial
"reason. Four times as many were made wretch
ed by these events, and-a fortune thrown away I
iin cost of trial? and legal decision upon these [
cases of manslaughter aha** assault.
In few or none of these, cases,- had .not; -the
parties carried arms about their persons, would
there probably have been any disturbance worth
legal inquiry. But now it has come to this?
half the young white men, and nine-tenths of
the negroes, are in the daily habit of making
themselves walking armories,' and if-f.ny of
them happen to get whiskey on the brain, the
question of shootingsomebody before they sleep
it off, hangs on the chapter of accidents and op?
portunities. It is a most miserable condition
of affairs, and whatever there'is of virtuous in-"J
dignation in Georgia ought to be evoked to put I
a stop to the practice. The whole machinery
of the law should at once be energized to sup
press the carrying of secret arms. Committing
magistrates, officers of the peace, mayors ana I
citizensj^djooldall,aid;in 'suppressing this vile
practice by"complaints to the grand juries; and
it should be'porsb& until' rooted" out.

Dyspepsia.?If a man wishes,, to get rid of I
dyspepsia, he'must give his stomach and brain j
less to do. It will be of no service for him to |
follow any particular regimen?to live on chaff I
bread, i>r any.-.such etuff?to waigh his food, 1
&c, so long as the brain is in a state of con-1
stant excitement. Let that have proper rest,
and the stomach ? wdll.pefform its functions.?j
But if he paas fourteen or .fifteen hours a day
in his office or counting room, and take no ex- J
ercise. his stomach will inevitably become par- j
alyzed, and- if he put nothing into tit but a
cracker a day, it will not digest it. In many
cases it is the brain thatis the primary cause.
Give that delicate, organ some rest. ? Leave
your business behind you when you go to your
home. Do not sit down to your dinner with
your brows Ttnit and your mind employed in
casting up interest accounts. Never abridge J
the usual hours of sleep. Take more or less
exercise in the^ open air each day. Allow
yourself somefirinoceht' recreation. Eat mod?
erately, slowly, and of what you please, pro?
vided it be not the shovel and tongs. If any
particular dish disagrees with you, however,
never.touch.itor look at it. Do not imagine!
'that you must live on rye-bread or oat-meal I
porridge; a reasonable quantity of nutritious
food is essential .to the mind as well as the body.
Above all, banish all thoughts of the subject.
?If yon have any treatise on dyspepsia, domes?
tic medicine, etc., put them directly into the
fire. If j'ou are constantly talking and think?
ing of dyspepsia, you will surely have it. En?
deavor to forget that you have a stomach.?
Keep a clear conscience; live temperately, reg?
ularly and cleanly. Be industrious, too, but
be temperate.?'Applet on1 $ Journal.
-They Read But Don't Tay.?"It not un
frequently occurs, when persons are asked if
they will subscribe for a local newspaper,' or if
they already take it, that they reply: "No, but
neighbor B. takes it, and / have the reading of
it every iccck.' They are benefited every week
by the toils, perplexities, and expenditures of
those who receive nothing from them in re?
turn.*' ? '
,' . The above truth, clipped from an exchange,
should be copied and re-copied in every coun?
try paper, until the trouble is abated. The
publisher of a newspaper, depending, OS' he
docs in a measure, upon his subscription list
for support, naturally expects each family who
desire to read his paper to subscribe for it if
they can afford it. Subscribers themselves, as
well as publishers, find the newspaper borrower
a first-class nuisance, for he often borrows it as
the owner h about tq read it, .retains it at cer?
tain times when he misses it, and too often, if
he returns it at all, the paper is in such a con?
dition that no one of nice sensibilities would
care to read it. We would suggest that in
towns where the nuisance lias.liecomc'intolera-'
ble, the publisher print, when requested, or
stamp in large letters above the heading. "Sub- I
8cribers not permitted to lend this paper," or,1
"Tim edition not for borrowers." The idea
would take with subeeribers, and prove a gen-1
tie hint to the meanest of all misery-makers.? j
Ad cert inert' Gazette. j
The South's Revenge?The New York
Journal of Commerce says the South is raking
Ehilosopnical revenge on her political haters
y holding agricultural congresses. If many
of her ablest citizens cannot be allowed the
privilege of voting and holding office, and so
contributing to the general public good, they
can, at least, make the men ot Washington feel
bad by showing the tranquility of disabled
Southerners under such circumstances. Parti?
sans have their Congress at the capital, where
they can wrangle over the division of the spoils,
and plan new ways for reducing the South to
political nonentity; but the people of that re?
gion find their solace in congresses of quite an?
other and more innocent variety, where the pri?
zes are of pumpkins and other gigantic vegeta?
bles, and the eloquence of man finds its loftiest
flights in explaining the. pattern of anew worm
fence, or the latest thing in churns. For every
political convention held at the North, the
South responds, as if by malice prepense, with a
"Fair" or "Exhibition," and now, to exasperate
Radicalism to an unbearable degree, it holds a
full blown Agricultural Congress. At this gath?
ering nearly all the Southern States are repre?
sented. Even Sooth Carolina, harried in a part
of her territory by Federal troops, keeps calm
enough to despatch a number of delegates to
Sei ma, where the bucolic body meets. For sev?
eral days, probably, the Agricultural Congress
will present the maddening spectacle of South?
erners talking earnestly over the merits of riv?
al cucumbers, as if for the express purpose of
shoveling coals of fire on the heads of Radical
law makers at Washington. The very name?
Congress?it is perceived, must be intended for
a satire on the other concern; the real object
being, all the time, to contrast the coolness and
peace of the one with the heat and fury of the
other. Under such an enormous provocation,
we may look for the offer of amendments to
the Ku Klux act to make it more severe. Such
audacity must be punished.
r; ? It is, perhaps, a debatable question wheth?
er a person who has always been notoriously in
the habit of lying has a right to tell the truth.
It is, of course, the only device by' which he
can deceive people._ 1_
? Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or
duties, but of little things, in which smiles and
kindness, and small obligations, given habitu?
ally, are what win and preserve the heart, and
secure comfort.
? Some of the domestic evils of drunken?
ness, are homes without windows, gardens with?
out fences, fields without tillage, barns with?
out roofs, children without clothing, principles,
morals or manners.
? No man ever gets his money's worth out
of a newspaper unless he reads the advertising
columns attentively. They inform him who are
the live business men of the town, and he also
finds out where he can obtain the best bar?
gains.
? An exchange wants to know when a mar
i ge is announced with the accompanying ex?
pression, "No cards," what does it mean? A
western editor is surprised at his cotemporary's
ignorance, and says it means they don't play
poker.
? At a late concert, a testy old fellow, who
had suffered much annoyance from the inces?
sant coughing of bis neighbor behind him, turn?
ed around with, "That's a very bad cold you've
got, sir," which met with this gentle reply: "I
am sorry for it, sir, but it is the best I have."
? Governor Walker, of Virginia, is a nota?
ble instance of the destiny that shapes human
careers. In 1865 he was practicing law in Chi?
cago, and, casually going to Virginia to attend
a slight legal matter, found, after a few days in
Norfolk, thai a troublesome catarrh, which had
fastened upon him in Chicago, had entirely dis?
appeared. . He returned to his Chicago home,
but was again beset by his old malady, and, be?
cause of his health alone, returned to the State
of which in a few years he was made Gover?
nor.
? For a long time a law has existed in Rus?
sia forbiding the lending of money at a higher
rate of interest tban twenty per cent. This
law had precisely the opposite i effect to that
which was intended, for as a very few peo?
ple could be found to lend money at a legal
rate, a class of usurers sprung up who charged
enormous sums to cover themselves against a
risk of breaking the law. A ukase has now
been issued under which the lender of money
is permitted without restriction as to the rate
of interest, and it is hoped that the competi?
tion which this will produce will considerably
lower the rates hitherto charged.
