Early historians o? tft? g?ith, H od of South Carolina in particular, all agre? ni the statement that oar rivers, creeks end brooks once teemed with fishes. The shad-the pr inee of the irving pan-in the memory of many wow living, was as common even in creeks aa is the diminu tive minnow. It waa the diatom in those days for our people tax visit annually the different fisheries, where were 10 be bad shad at sixteen tor tba dolby; red-horse and other savory varfetie* at a song by the wagon loadr - It! is1 distressing, gas tronomically at least, when Wo reflect that these good did times, like other loved associations of the past, have de parted. 1 That Ute fish famine of the dav may be properly understood. I shall nod a few facts and produce some statistics. Beiu? in Washington a few years bi noe, I called; on the Hon. Spencer F. Baird, United: States Fish &>mroissiouei\ for thc pur pose of hearing h:,.n ou. this interesting) subject, and to see if anything could bei done for the restocking of our riverr.i He informed mc that ho was anxious toi dc something for ?s, std that if I would locate for him any pain.' jin the State where could be caught as tnany os, say. oOO shad during the season, he would send out parties who, would establish a batching station. After diligent search along tho ^orders of tho two rivers of my ccanty-the H road and WatCree-?nd having in'titu ted inquiry for auch ? point anyw'iero in' tho Hinte, so moogro waa the eaten at all filaccs that I WM unwilling to hold arther communication upon tho subject,, and despaired of enlisting his efforts In our behalf, and hero the mutter ended with me.' He, however, sent out a sub-commis sion in 1873, which-was ionnrettdiiL*, in vestigate thc very facts which I had ob tained but had failed to report; Tho observations made by this commission arc specially cited, os they give direct statistical testimony upon tho numbers of shad caught in rivera of Georgia run! South Carolina, and prove mora thor oughly, if, indeed, any proof were! necessary, that thi-5 has benn marked decrease. , A synopsia of 8rtth Green's report of shad hatching at Augusta in 1873 ia aa follows: From April 21?t to April 28rii, thirteen fishes were taken, none of which being in proper condition, no eggs were ? Brocured. From Augusta he goos to ewbern, N. C., passing what1 were: ones important fisheries at Tarons points along the Congarec, and by tho once celebrated station at Rocky Mount, on the Catawba, At Newborn j in consequence of the river being too high for fishing, he succeeded in procuring only two noe fishes, from which were obtained 50,000 eggs. Of this number 43,000 wer?s hatched and turned into tho river. Theciti? he goes to Weldon, where, in consequence of continued high water, no shad ore taken, but two ripe rock fish are caught, from which are procured 110,000 eggs. From tinsse aro hatched and turn ed into the river1100,000 vonni fiske*. Passing to the Potomac at Washington, he meets with better success. One nun? ?Ired and eleven ripe fishes aro stripped, 2,170,000. egg? obtained, and 1,870,000 fishes returned to tho Potomac and 80, 000 transplanted in other streams.

In any event there is no reason why the experiment might not be tried. Upon thc contrary, every inducement is held'otrt for experimenting with all of the favorite species, not excepting even the salmon salar itself. The much that bas ^bjpeu learned in piaiculture leaves veiymuch yet to be discovered, and no d?partent of science, no branch of in dustry, offers a wider field to thc natu ralist, nor larger margins fir gain to bim who will successfully prosecute the busi ness. -V With a fish commissioner, such as is had jr most of the (States, whose business it wo??d be to keep in communication with, tho other commissirmera and with the ?m?ied States Ccm'nilssio'n?r, much ralutrote information would be dissemi nated, and many vericties of valunbie eggs and fishee imported and exported fur expaimeu:, We have many nativo variajff? ??ell adapted to the purpose of botlrpouds and streams, and by & system of interchange with cotnmssiouens from other Jet?tes, send ? rig eggs and fry from home-end receiving a similar shipment from abroad, there in no estimating the ?ood t'.ir.t might bo accomplished. Our ute hah recently shown a disposition to banish barbarism and to put itself in harmony with other countries in the on ward march towards material improve ment and rcfihibg civilization. Let as not neglect thia Important matter, which offers so much goon for so little outlay. The next division of my subject-fish ponds-is more iutcresting to us person ally, hoing' within reach of all, and ro quires no otate aid. Any person owning a fajAvagcea. of land, with a stream of water, indy embark in tho enterprise willi more or les? nope of success. The bolder the stream (and tho larger the extent of ?und Burfacc, the greater the variety of fish which can be raised and the larger tho profits, although many kinds grow finely and breed well in smaller ponds fedby streams that bardy supply evaporation. In treating ol' ponds, I may as well ndinit in advance the fact that in most instances failure hos been the result. I think, for causes which can bo accounted for, and which, when properly considered, are not of sufficieut magnitude to discourage tho undertaking lor the future. My first criticism is on tuc size of ponas, very few of wi.dch aro entitled to the dignity of the appellation, being in most instances, mere i^uddlos of water, from a few'feet in d.a&ict?* to perhaps quarter ot an aero in ex int. Into these ctiminutivo enclosures havo been turned any and ali varieties wilie'* could be ob tained, many of them unsu ed by nature for tho habitation of such places, whilst others of them acorn to havo been formed with special rsf?rence to the destruction of tho other kinds. Failure in such cases is as in neb to be looked for as it would bo in the case of a farmer who would ex pect to rear successfully a hundred head of cattle on a two-acre lot, or who would attempt to keep the peace betwoen a pack of wolves and a flock of sheep which were required to roam upon tho same pasturage, j To illustrate, I shall reiterate oxporimen?' givon to the public boforo, nnoT^Wbh^-AuWtfUeot observation has conftrnJerT' All bTpur fish cat fish, ex cept tl?*?tu6Mk' tamil vr : thean eat eggt.Y?ttvt\&foir t^eVofore," all fish consumerist),- ehj^?; ?s?r?, ?me leta.

My pond is two acree sod a half in extent. Myriads" of young Gah, th?; weight of tviiich is not reckoned in the aboyo, were put back and are now doing better pince the larger ones have becii taken out. In fact, all ponds, including mill ponds, should be drained and the fish.assorted ut least every third year. It shoved be borne in mind thal thc 700 pounds were the product of the pond, with no assist ance whatever, except the occasional throwing in of a little grist, more for the {lurposc of attracting the fish to certain ocal itics where I was in the habit of using the hook, than for regular feeding, ami that it was not the result of an un usual accumulation, for the pond had been subjected to vigorous fishing each year since tts commentaient. The truth is, that meagre as have been tho resulta obtained by pisciculturists of this (State, ?hero is not an instance, and I include myself, in which we bad a right to expect better returns-not ono in which we deserved success. I have yet to hear of any ono in this State who has made use or hatching boxes, artificial fecundation, or any of the plans or ap pliances by means of which so much is ooing done elsewhere. My experimenta In artificial hatching have beer, ntl -n ex ceedingly small scalo. mostly in tum blers, soup plates and in a small glass aquarium, and more for the purpose of tuting tho truth of the discovery than for practi?:al advantage. 8eth Oreen and other pisciculturists of the North, who have ?lone so much for the country, pursue a regular systematic, scientific routine-first constructing panis with n proper regard for witter supply and extent of surlace, having duo care against damage from freshets ami oilier unfavorable contingencies. Then attention ?H J._ ....J to the procuring and impregnating of eggs. These tiru hatch-, d in boxes judiciously arranged for dip purpose; the young are then confined IL separate reservoirs, nccording to nge an?! size, because fishes of thc same size can not swallow each other. Here they arc regularly supplied with animal food, which is made to take the place of fish diet until ready for market. Ho com pletely has tho nntccss been perfected that nature herself has been outwitted in 'tho arrangement, und thc fact established that pisciculturists can breed fish faster than fish can breed themselves. It has been said that whoever raiser and sends to market a million of frogs will bo tho possessor of an immense fortune hy the transaction, lt is equally true that who ever properly cultivates ?bo fresh water turtle, which flourishes in nny kind of water nnd feeds largely upon aquatic planta, which all ponds should furnish, will find himself largely tho gainer. Hut to him who first raises tho produce of only a single pair of either tho trout, ibo bream, red-bellied perch, maw raouth, red-horso, humped-back Bucker, cat, or almost any other of our numerous species, simple aa is tho process, will be due the gratitude of the otate. Do with our trout (Grystca salmoidcs) what Green has done with his trout (Salmo fon tioalis), and compare results. His fish produces about 600 eggs, require? several months to hatch and about four years of careful feeding to roach ono pound in weight. From one of our trout I have counted over 16,000 eggs, and they, fre quently rear two broods in a year; they can bo hatched in from four to six days, and lu four years would easily averago four pounds in weight. Deduct ten per cent.~U8ual loos from eggs to fish-and you have 540 fry In on? in?ta?co, 14,400 in the other. Now allow half for 'casual ties, and you hnve 2,070 for one and 7,200 for tm other. Feed then, for four years and the difference in weight is in i.'.Vi.r of Hiv wOUtliiwD uah by ,2o:?o? pounds. Thc difference ih } flavor' is claimed for the salmo fontinal?B, but I have yet to seo cveu tho epicure who would discard the Grystcs salmoidcs either for pot or pan purposes. As a game fish, no in little if ut all inferior to thc brook trout. All can testify who have bad ona at the end of his rod thr-t he noithor lacks pluck nor energy. I do believe, with this iah treated as are some at the North, that it is practicable to add , millions of pounds to our supply, and yet I am not prepared to say that it is our most valuablo apeciea for ponds ; in , fact I have ri wu va thought that to some of tko cyprinoia family would be given the palm. t Whilst engaged on thia article, Mr. Janies M. Ctewtrt, of Winnsboro, fur nished the fellowing information: His mill dam broken dering tho last heavy rains and ran down to tho bottom. ' it were loft two trout o?' *.oim ,/hich I had given him, and which Were just two year? obi. Uns weighed tvo pounda-und three-quarter.), the other two pounds and one-quarter: Neither, had bcou fed "arti fe lally. - I T j nS Thia information is exceedinglyijalu, able, as it ?howa that larger results "as to weight can bo reached thau has been,.es timated, nod that clear waters are by rio means essential, for Mr. Stewart's pond is situated among tho reddest and steep est bills of Fairfield, and is after every : rain ns muddy ar a clay hole. I suggest, in conclusion, the formation bf ? society, whick will have fus its ob ject tho advancement of pisciculture, to be called "The South Carolina Piscicul tura! Association." Titi? body, having such by-lawB and officers aa may be 1 agreed upon, could meet with cither the I State Grange or the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, or with both, and could by assigning experimenta with ?li fi?rent kinds offish to different sections of the State, and by sending delsgau- to similar bodies in other States, tend large- \ Sr to tho speedy solution of the . now i oubtful question so often asked, what' is tho best fish for tho ponds of this State? The problem before us, thon, is to j raiso the young of a ?ingle par-, even' where there are thousands of pairs'ia I reach. Do this, and fish ponds are a: grand success.

R. It. Kilitnrt Chronicle and Co/utilulionalitt : I wa? last week at the White 8ulpber Springt, in Virginia, where I met Cou?* modere I'egrani, who is s? well known throughout the country. In th? course of conversation, at which Dr. Wm. Hu ger, Mr. Frank Huger and other Charles toniana were preseot, too Commodore gav* ue the following information, which was so new to all of us that I determined to publish it, which I now do, with the Commodore's consent, that the gentleman whose heroic conduct is narrated mar re ceive at the hands of his feUow-ctUsenr that honor which he bas so rich merited. In the year 186-, Commodore Pegraro then in command of tbe Nanhville, was, with his wife, in English water?. Ohe day a very bnp.'it-eyed, intelligent, well niBnoerv lytmwt^entJeraau, an English-, roan, came to biro, and asked that he might ?-ako pass?ke with him tp tbs Southe, n Hfatesj ? he wanted to come and join the arin jr of the Southern States. Commoiore Pcgrum refused the request, saying ho was under age anu he could not think of taking tho youth out muong strangers, to run all tao risks of war. Th? young man besought the Commo- j doie, but ii. vain ; he asked if be could , get the coi ,ent of his guardian, if he j would let h.m have passage? Tho Com* ' modore H.ill declined. I no youth then j went to Hon. W. L. Yancey, then ia London. He so worked upon Mr. Yan- i coy's feelings that he wrote an earnest j request U> tho Commodore to bring the you nf man over. Still the Commodore refused. Just then the Queen of England, having gone down to seo the Tuscarora and Nashville in port, ordered both to sen. This command, for rcasous, the Commodore declined to obey, and he went un to London to arrange for his stay. While away, some hands were shipped on the Nashville, and in due course she put out to aea. Ssme daya after the Commodore was nccoated by a very bright youth, who was nil begrimed with coal dust and dirt. He asked who he was and where he had come from, and to his surprise, found that it was the young man who had tried to come as pas senger. He told the Commodore ho must overlook if,i but ho had determined to fight for the South. Tho Commodore, pleased with hi? spirit, told the officer of tho ship to put him to some other work. Ono day, a certain paper passing through tho young man's hands to the Commo dore, ho said it was very bad English, and, if tb* Commodore would allow him. ho would correct lt. This Was done, ano so excellent was the report as made out by tho youth, that the Commodore im mediately'mode him the captain's clerk. On the arrival of the Nashville in the South, the Commodore informed the Sec retary of the -Navy of bia appointment, mid asked that it be continued ; thia waa at once done. Soon after this Commo dore Pcgram was put in command of the James River squadron, and took the English youth with him, to whom ho had become greatly attached. The Commo dore) says more faithful or intelligent rer vjee he has never seen rendered than did that young mau give to a cauae for which he had left country and friends, and bad come, a perfect stranger, to help them in their (druggie for constitutional freedom. Tho fleet in the James River was, for a long while, inactive. It ?CC?IB Liint this vourig man's spirit chafed, for he had to J ?-L-A. .

The roll waa called, and nono was missing but tho Englishman, The Commodore was very much hurt by this, but be felt sure that it would he ex plained. A few daya afterward there waa a very heavy engngemeot, in which Capt. Pegram'a battery was in the thickest. After the fight Commodore Pcgram re ceived a message from his relative, saying there WAS ? youLg Englishman with tnem badly wounded who whined to see him. The Commodore went at once. Capt.
