Preston Johnston (son of the lamented Albert. Sidney Johnston) responded to a toast to the "Confederate Dead. We mate the-following extracts from his eloquent and beautiful response: We are told that in old time the Egyptians placed by their banquet-board, among the roses and wines and costly dishes, a skeleton, that thev might remember they were mortal. It is with a contrary but more ennobling purpose, I concern, that your sentiment summons to our presence and minds and hearts on this festivtil occasion, "the Confederate Dead." It is that thifrstately procession of the kaightliest dead that ever died may for a moment shed their glory through the gloom that overhangs the land upon the hearts gathered here to remind us that, we are immortal. We are, I trust, chastened, as well as exalted by the thought that ours? a race of heroes; and it is well that ever and always we should remember this, tt.at,we -defile not with spot or blemish the snowy escutchen that is our heritage. We T?ojil4-ni)JLbarter tbe stainlessjiame of our uo-. happy people for the overflowing cup of un? righteous prosperity and triumph. The Confederate Dead! In the memories stirred by these words are mingled what shat? tered dreams of glory, what tender regrets, what a priceless legacy of utidying fame. Who were these men that we should* so value them ? Were it for nothiog more than their martial valor and prowess on the field we might well be proud of them as countrymen. They were tie gayest and gallantest gentlemen that ever rent down to battle, the stoutest soldiery that ever breasted tue flood of death ; and their, cheer had a ring of victory in it that made a comrade's blood to bound and the foema.u's Ivfiail to quail when we heard the exultant sheet In the charge they pressed on with con? fident and resistless courage, and woe to the enemy who urged too rashly their sullen re? treat. They never learned to fly, and in the last moments of a hopeless struggle, the vic? tors could not stand before their assaults. If you judge them by their achievements against Overwhelming numbers, no contest in history <iah equal their unavailing resistance. They met in the field die flower of the youth of eve? ry land, allured by the stipend of the North; und Celtic fire was quelled and Teutonic stub? bornness was melted like wax, and well-knit phalanxes of the West were shattered by their >lows. The soldiers who upheld for four years :he. cause of the South will rank in history among the first for courage, endurance, dis? cipline, cheerfulness, intelligence and human? ity. Bat it is not as mere soldiers we must v'ew our dead. ' They were the champions of a no? ble cause, the cause of constitutional liberty and of immemorial rights made sacred by the .monuments of more than six hundred years.? 'They represented moreover the principle of self-government, of local freedom, and of the right of a people to decide, their own political associations. In them was struck down these ancient and honorable ideas; and the commu? nity of nations allowed itself to listen to and virtually to approve the plea of the imperial and irresponsible centralization that triumphed. We have no complaints to make ; but when startled Liberty in other lands turns hither and thither for sympathy or aid, we can point them to the lists where our champions lie siain, but not dishonored. In this view the Confederate dead have a claim upon the whole world, a claim as yet un? acknowledged, but which we may trust to time to establish. They were the defenders of their native land, and that land is oar home. But pon us they have a closer and more peculiar emand for gratitude. They were martyrs of patriotism. They died for us. "Greater love oath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Hunger, thirst, cold, toil, wounds, disease and death they suffered for you; will you not remember them and cherish them ? There are three ways in which yon may in part repay, the debt you owe the dead. When? ever and wherever you meet a poor survivor of that noble band on whom the rod of affliction hjjsfolien heavy, whether by poverty or wounds or disease, pay the honest homage of respect and do what yon can to lighten his lot When yon see the orphans of the Confederate martyrs with their young lives made grievous by pover? ty and bereavement, stretch forth the helping hand, not in charity, but in the beneficence of gratitude. Again; it is your duty against a world in arms to vindicate the name, the fame, and the cause of the dead It is your dutv to lay lau? rels on their tombs, to cherish and celebrate to all time their immortal deeds, to make the fa tare tuneful with their praises; and most of all to see that the troth is told of them and their cause. But you must remember that it is for you they died, for the coming generations of their countrymen, and that you, to be faithful to their memories, must in no wise forfeit the character you inherit as lovers of country, of . freedom and of truth. : :"ito your own self be true; you cannot then he false to any man." Be true, be faithful, be magnanimous.? When evil spreads her black wings, remember you are the heaven-appointed champions of truth. The pale witnesses who stand for you are yonr fathers and brethren who have gone before, and are numbered with the Confederate dead. The Confederate Dead! Are they dead who moulder in their bloody jackets beneath the sod ? They live. It is we who are dead, un? less we feel the touch of that fire from Heaven that made them immortal. ? In an article on a recent fair in that city, the editor of a Macon paper says a brother ed? itor took a valuable premium, but an unkind policeman made him put it right back where he took it from. ? Dr. Guthrie, in a recent address, told a very suggestive story to this effect: A friend of bis questioning a little boy, said, "When your fattier and mother forsake you, Johnny, do you know who will take you up?" "Yes, sir," said he. "And who?" said the friend. "The police," was Johnny's answer. .? To remove a screw rusted in the wood, heat a poker in the fire red hot, and put on top of the screw for a minute or two, then take the screw-driver and you can easily get it out, if you will do it whilst it is warm. ? A man cannot long reflect on a single sub? ject without coloring his mind therewith. Like the silkworm, the silk they yield is colored by the food they feed on. Our lives gradually take the hue or tinge of the thoughts to which we accustom ourselves. The mind, no more than the body, can pass through defilement and come out pure. Whatever the road traversed by the thought, the deed will show where it has been. Advice to Old Men. . BY A BOY. ^ I cannot pick np a newspaper without "Ad? vice to Boy*"- stares me in the face. Old men write it, I sfpose.'Nobody else is capable of fiving advice to*hoys; of course not! They now all about us, they do, 'cause they've been there. Advice is a good thing to have, no donbt, and no one should be without it; but a feller ddnt want to'be. crammed with It all the time, to the exclusion of all other diet. Now, old men need advice occasionally; bnt in looking through the papers I .don't see ,as they get it. So I thought that I would jost write a little advice to old men, myself, if I am not presuming too much, (as Aunt Chloe says) and 1 presume that I am. In the first place, you old chaps ought to get over telling how much smarter boys were when J'ou were young than they now are. Yon be ieve it yourself, of course, beca?se'yb?'ve told it so often, but we boys can't eeeit.' We have a notion that boys are 'boys pretty Much the world over, (except some that are girls,) and one generation of them don't lay. over another generation to an alarming extent Only let you tell it, and you could ont run, out jump, out wrestle and out anything else the rising generation of fo-day when you was a boy. Grandfather, who has the rgout, apd^ half a dozen kinds of rheumatism, is always' saying that I heard him singing "I would I were a boy again." I would he were, too; if I could'nt beat him running, and flop him on his back, side hold, I don't want a cent. I would not go so far as to say parents obey your children,' bnt I wonld suggest to fathers that .they give us a hearing occasionally on matters, in which we are the ones most inter? ested. Don't make us go and slide down hill when, we want to skate, and try to make us preachers when we would prefer to run a saw mill. This is figurative, but I guess you know what I mean by it After giving us boys sage advice about our conduct, and how to behave, you old codgers ought to be careful how you get to relating your boyish scrapes to each other and laughing over them before we are out of ear-shot. The .other day grandfather..readmea-long lecture about the right of property, temperance and Sabbath-breaki ng. That very nighT ? crony of his came to visit him, and they bad a glass of punch together. They thought I was asleep on the sofa, and the way they run on about the fun they had when they were boys together! . They told all about .robbing Lyon's melon patch; and it turned out it was on Sunday night! When I went to bed they were taking their third glass of punch/and I dou't know bow many they haa after that I know grandfather's rheumai dsm was a-great deal-worse the next day, and he"cbmpl?5ned a great* deal about his liver.? Old men ought to be careful about taking too much punch. I "have noticed old men hate to give up that they can't stand bomuch as they used to, or as young men can. They get mad if a feller like me hints that they can't We've all got to play out some day, and when a man feels he's losing his grip, why not come down graciously and acknowledge the coin ? Now, in the above remarks, I don't mean any disrespect. I like old men in tbeir place, but I donT; want so much of their advice. Give the boys a chance. Extract from Mark Twain's Lecture. An exchange gives the following report of the opening remarks in one of Mark Twain's lec? tures, by which it will be observed that the no? ted humorist is an excessively modest individu? al: ' Ladies and Gentlemen:?By request of the chairman of the committee, who has been very busy, and is very tired, I suppose, I ask leave to introduce to you the lecturer of the evening, Mr. Clemens, otherwise Mark Twain, a gentle? man whose historical accuracy, whose devotion to science, and whose veneration for the truth (laughterl are only equaled by his moral char? acter and his majestic presence.: (Renewed laughter.) I refer these vague general terras to myself. (Giggling.) I am a little opposed to the general custom of ceremoniously intro? ducing the lecturer to the audience, because it seems to me unneccessary where the man has been properly advertised (laughter,) and be? sides, it is very uncomfortable for the lecturer. But where it is the custom, an introduction ought to be made, and I had rather make it myself in my own case, and then I can rely oh getting in all the facts. (Continued laugh? ter.) It is not a simple introduction that I mind. I don't really care for that at all, but it is the compliments that sometimes go with it?that is what hurts. Il; would make auy one uncomfor? table. Yon ca n fancy a young lady introduced to a parlor-full of company as the best conver? sationalist, the best model in every way, in her section of the country. You might just as well knock her in the head. She would not say a word the rest of the evening. I never had but one public introduction that seemed exactly the thing; that seemed to be a very inspiration in the way of an introduction. The gentleman had a good head, and he said he supposed I didn't want any compliments. I said he was exactly right, I didn't want any compliments. And when he introduced me he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I sUall not waste any unnecessary time in- th'e introduction. I don't know anything about this man (laugh? ter;) at least I only know two things about him ; one is that he has never been in the pen? itentiary, and the other is I can't imagine why." (Prolonged laughter.) Now such an introduction puts a man right at once. (Laugh? ter.) In his lecture on Artemus Ward, Mark Twain tells the following: When Artemus was very young, he and a companion got hold of a pack of cards and learned to play euchre. Artemns was perfectly fascinated with the game, and played it as of? ten as he had an opportunity ; but it had to be done on the sly, and he bad to hide his cards from his parents. So, when he was looking out for a place to hide them, the boys thought the safest place where they could put the cards was in the pocket of the minister's black gown, under the very cegis of the church. I don't know what regis means, but it's a good word, and I suppose it's all right. Well, the old minister was called on to baptize a convert, and as he wentdown into the water wearing a gown, the cards began to come up to the surface and float off. The boys, who were on the bank watching, though in great fear, kept their eyes on the cards. As it happened, there came up first two bowers and three aces. Of course, the boys were thrashed, and an old aunt of Arte? mus proceeded to lecture him on the enormity of the crime. "Why," said she, "just imagine how the poor man must have felt when he saw the cards coming up ! I should have thought he would have fainted, and 1 don't see how he got out." "Well," said Artemus, "I don't see how he could help going out on such a hand." ? Western editor, in acknowledging the gift of a peck of potatoes, says : "It is such kind? ness as these that bring tears to our eyes. One peck of potatoes makes the whole world kin. We have trusted in Providence and this is our reward. We would like a little kindling wood and some good turnips, but that would be ask? ing too much, so we will try and do without them." ? A London correspondent mentions a cu? rious invention in the matter of telegraphy. It says that the English postal authorities now have under consideration an invention by which the handwriting of a person sending a dispatch may be transmitted by telegraph. This invention may, under some circumstances, prove of great value as preventing fraudulent messages where money is involved. ? On a gate post out West is a sign : "Take warnin : 2s o tracs, nor life insurans, nor soin' mx?hcens wanted here." The Past, Present and Future of Cotton. The commercial newspapers have been lately printing some curious statistics about the amount and value of the cotton crops of the past years, as compared with that now on hand, grown in 1871, and have ventured some predic? tions for the future. The Journal of Commerce, for example, goes back nearly fifty years, to 1825, and shows what the highest and lowest price of middling upland cotton has been every year since; and it is worth noticing that the range of prices in 1825 was very much what it has been in 1870-71. In these two last years, with a crop averaging nearly 4,000,000 of bales for the two years, the price has varied from 14J cents a pound to 25f cents, while in 1825, when the crop did not equal 1,000,000 bales, the price varied from 13 to 27 cents. In the spring of 1845 the price touched the lowest ever known ?four centg per pound?the crop of 1844 being about 2,400,000 bales. It did not reach 3,000, OOO'bales till 1851, and in only threeyearssir.ee has it exceeded 4,000,000, namely, in 1858,1859 and 1870, the latter year producing the largest crop ever known, except, that of 1859, which was reported in the census as over 5,000,000, but was really, according to the careful compu? tations of Mr. B. F. Morse, only 4,864,292 bales, weighing 2,343,000,000 pounds. In 1870 there were 4,352,317 bales, weighing 2,021,651,000 pounds; but the value of this crop was greater by nearly $30,000,000 than that of the crop of 1859. The most valuable crop, however, was that of 1869,' which realized 8242,195,000 in gold, though the number of pounds was les3 than 1,500,000,000, and of bales only 3,122,151. The highest prices for cotton were in 1864 and 1866, when, it went up to $1.90 a pound in the midst of the cotton famine produced by our civil war. There are various estimates of the crop of 1871, but we do not see it less than 3,500,000 bales. The Department of Agriculture, which croaked a good deal last summer, now raises its estimate to 3,400,000 bales; but it has always under-estimated the growing crop, and all the later accounts continue to he favorable for a larger crop than had been expected. Still, compared with the demand for con? sumption, the present crop is not large, and it is no wonder that prices have gone up. It is computed that there are now in motion in the civilized world 67,000,000 of cotton spindles, viz: In Great Britain, 40,000,000; on the Con? tinent, 18,000,000; in America, 9,000,000. Ac? cording to au intelligent writer in the Boston Journal, the British spindles are increasing 40, 000 per week, while the operatives employed have risen from 350,000 to 450,000, and the cot? ton spun :ln the last three years has been as fol? lows: In 1868-69, 916,000,000 pounds; in 1869-70, 1,065,000,000 pounds; in 1870-71,^, 176,000,000 pounds. At this rate of progress, the manufacture of Great Britain in 1871-72. if not checked by the advance of prices, would reach 1,3-10,000,000 pounds, or 3,350,000 bales of 400 pounds each. The same author puts the aggregate con? sumption for the continent of Europe this year at 2,125,000 bales. To this we may add for the United States at least 1,125,000 bales, for its consumption is now growing rapidly, the gain in manufacturing power at 1 all River aTone being in one year some 50,000 bales, and 50,000 bales more for Mexico and Canada. Here is a total consumption of which our country fur? nishes but fit ?3 more than half. India pro? vides 2,300,000 bales of cotton, of which but little more than 1,500,000 bales come to Europe. Other regions yield about 1,000,000 bales year? ly The price of cotton, at the beginning of the year is almost twenty cents in gold. At this rate, which is quite likely to be maintained, it is the best crop for the Southern States, and the rise since a year ago will stimulate the planters to put in more seed than in 1871. At a higher price than this the production of cotton in India and elsewhere is stimulated, and America would soon have less control of this market than now. Our great crop of 1870 was, in one sense, too large: it enabled us to export three millions of bales to Great Britain, France and Germany, nearly one hundred and fifty thou? sand more to Spain, Russia, Canada, Mexico and other foreign States, and besides this to supply our own factories with eleven hundred thousand bales, while we laid by a reserve of one . hundred and five thousand bales for the future. But it overstocked the market at first, and brought down the price so as to discourage the planters last spring, and, consequently, less was planted than ought to have been. Proba? bly a steady crop of four million bales is what, for the present, this country ought to produce, in order to derive the greatest benefit from cot? ton production.?Springfield Republican. Protecting Animals during Stormy Weather. Farmers generally do not appreciate the loss sustained in the condition and health of do? mestic animals by their exposure to cold rain and storms. Most animals can endure cold as long as they can keep dry, but their bodies be? coming wet, evaporation commences, which carries off heat rapidly and they are soon chilled through and through. This almost al? ways deranges health, and most especially with milch cows, which are less vigorous and less able to resist sudden changes from heat to cold than stock not devoted to the dairy. Most of our domestic animals will endure sudden changes from cold to heat with impunity, but the opposite is often attended with very injuri? ous consequences. Again, even if the health of the animal is not seriously impaired, a large quantity of food will be required to sustain the heat thus lost, or there must be necessarily a waste of flesh. On the score of economy in food, to say noth? ing of deranged health, it will be cheaper to house cattle from the cold storms and from wet, whether it be falling rain or snow. A certain amount of food is required to keep up the tem? perature of the body, and in extreme cold weather. The extra food ordinarily used in cold weather is not employed for laying up flesh, but is consumed to make heat. It is this principle which renders it more expensiveto fatten animals in winter than in warm weather. There is considerable difference of opinion among stock men in regard to the winter man? agement of milch cows. The old farmers in? sist that stock are healthier when allowed to run in the yard most of the day. While others urge that the best results are obtained by keep? ing cows in the stable most of the time during winter, allowing them to go out each day for water, and returning them immediately to the stable. There is no doubt but the latter sys? tem will require less food than the other, but it is not yet fully established that such close confinement is promotive of the largest devel? opment of health and vigor, even when stables are kept clean and well ventilated. In good weather 6tock enjoy their freedom in the yard, and a few hours from their stall in the middle or warmer part of the day seems to be more in accordance with nature, even though more food may be required to carry the animal through. But in stormy weather, or when it is very cold, doubtless the best place for cattle is under shelter. Nothing pays better than care and attention to stock during the winter, and if a saving is to be made both in food and health, all storms and sudden changes of tem? perature must be guarded against as far as pos? sible._ ?

In accordance with the established policy of the Company to furnish tho best Concentrated Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this Guano is put into market this season at the above reduced price, which the Company is en? abled to do by reason of its large facilities and the reduced cost of manufacture. 1 The supplies put into market this season are, as heretoforo, prepared under the personal su? perintendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel, Chem? ist of the Company, at Charleston, S. C, hence planters may rest assured that its QUALITY and COMPOSITION is precisely the same as that heretofore sold. At the present low price every acre planted can be fertilized with 200 pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the pres? ent value of 30 pounds of cotton, while experi? ence has shown that under favorable conditions of season and cultivation the crop is increased by the application from two to threefold the natural <?pacity of the soil. Hence, under no conditions could its application fail to compen? sate for the outlay. Apply to J. N. ROBSON, Agent Pacific Guano Company, No. 68 East Bay and Nos.,1 & 2 Atlantic Wharf, Charleston, S.
