The Commissioner of Agriculture. Frequent interviews have induced the belief that the Commissioner of Agricul? ture is striving very hard .to so systema? tize arid develop the interests of his De? partment as to malce it valuable to the farmers and to the country. The history s? of the Department has nothing in it very brilliant, praiseworthy or notable beyond the fact that thus far it has been little else than a mammoth distributive seed store. Tis said of old Gen. Newton, who was the first man to fill the oflice of Commis? sioner after the Department was cut :; loose fruin, the Patent Office, that he al? ways believed he was .a Cabinet officer because he presided over a Department. He said to a friend he "was one of the President/s counsellora and belonged to tho Cabinet/' but he . had never "sot" there. He was succeeded by Mr. Casson, who seemed to have been energetic and in? dustrious, but was more anxious to get to Japan on a large salary, where he wa3 sent and has been for about six years, than he was to extend the usefulness of the Department. When he wont to, Japan, President Grant placed old Judge. Watt*, a super? annuated lawyer from Pennsylvania; over the Department,-and he allowed things to run at loose ends, and did no good to anybody, and was always willing to ?'accuse Southerners of being both lazy ^.and ignorant. His career was profitless to the agricultural interests of the coun? try. Mr. Hayes brought Gen. Le Due from Minnesota, perhaps because he was. orig? inally from Ohio, and the President's friend, and placed him where we trust he will renovate matters, and make the Department at least worthy the admira? tion of farmers il of no interest to other persons. . ? Gen. Le Due is alive to the fact that farmers arc not. careful, thoughtful and methodical enough, and rely too much upon the habits and manners that have come down perhaps from a long line of ancestors. He knows they too frequent? ly fail t:? calculate the cost of growing a crop, aim perhaps never know till the end of the year whether a crop has or has not any net money in it. He is therefore particularly anxious to .test a variety of vegetables and plants in different lati? tude*, and learn whether or not they would be more profitable as crops than those now cultivated. .With this view he is anxious to introduce the tea plant, ^aa we hive before stated, into South Car? olina, and thinks that if our people are really as poor as they say they are, the ?tea plant might supplant many of the . roses aud evergreens seen in' the front- of . most of our dwellings; for while these h. latter simply pleas* the eye or refresh i the olfactories; the former, if cultivated vproperly, would be made to.- help the pocket. / No one receives material payment' for i cultivating flowers, and it w quite an ex? pense and. labor; and hence all over South Carolina those grand and beautiful old flower gardens, which were so band some in ante-bellum times, are now fre? quently given up:to weeds and briars. It would not be so with the tea plant; for after a year or two, it would become a source of profit, and this profit would, increase annually. At present the United States are im? porting annually several millions of dol? lars' worth of Chinese teas, and they are all, more or less, so medicated that 'tis said, the original grower would scarcely . recognize the beverage if he were to quaff it in America. If South Carolina were half ?s devoted to tea culture as she is to the culture and improvement of cotton, there could be millions of dollars worth of tea" grown and sold in this State an? nually ; and that, too, by the intelligent, industrious, lovely. South Carolina wo? men. Only think what we are losing by oar ignorance. Gen. Le Due has received valuable in? formation upon this subject from Mr. James Edward Calhonn, of Abbeville County, S. C, who for years had grown tb&*lea plant, and drank of it pure and unadulterated. Mr. Calhorn) writes him the fruit of the tea plant is a capsule, the hull of which has many of the properties of quinine. This is another valuable discovery, and should make us more anxious all over the South to introduce the culture of the tea plant. About two thousand plants have this fall been sent into South Carolina by the Commissioner, and it is about all he had. He is preparing to have a million plants ready by next fall, and if the parties to whom he has sent these plants in South -Carolina will aid him in his efforts, and report, as promised, their success with the plants given them, he anticipates * that in a very few years he will be able to have the tea .prepared for market, with . much profit, in several portions of the State. His idea is to induce the cultiva? tion of the plant at many points, and when the area becomes large enough, then to establish in some central point, perhaps Columbia, the manufacture of the merchantable article. ; We sincerely hope the parties to whom these plants have been sent will bestow more than ordinary care upon them, and at the proper time report their success to the department Gen. Le Due is also rery anxious to subject the sweet potato (yam) to chemi? cal analysis, with a vie w to test whether or not it would be a profitable business to engage in the manufacture of sugar from the yam. Millions of dollars'worth of sugar are made annually by the French; -and by the Canadians on this side of the Atlantic, from the beet, and if the palate is qualified to judge it can bear testimony to the superior sweetness of the yam over the beet. We have written to a friend to - send a few yams to the -department, and we will watch with much interest the result of this analysis, and report it. There is now a heavy duty upon sugar, and every lump a child eats costs the parent more than it should, and hence the necessity and advisability of just such experiments as are proposed to be made at the department. The object is to learn if we cannot manufacture sugar to export, and prevent the necessity of any importation. Let us hold up the Com missionner's hands in his ef? forts.?D. Wyait Mien, in Newe and Cou? rier. The South Cabolina Conference. ?The ninety-second session of this large and influential body of ministers con? nected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, within the bounds of South Carolina, will be opened at the Washington Street Church on Wednes? day next at 9 o'clock in the morning. The Conference covers the entire terri? tory of the State, and numbers about two hundred and fifty clerical and lay mem? bers. There are about five hundred churches under its jurisdiction, with a membership of forty-two thousand white persons. The original territory of the South Carolina Conference extended from Maryland to Florida, but jn the three generations since the organization of the church in this country five large and independent Conferences have been created in their boundary. The Confer? ence 13 executive in character, and only legislates under restrictions within its bounds. The sessions are usually full of interest, and all the various enterprises of the church are readjusted and inspired with new life and activity. The session Will extend through the week open to the public with religious services every even? ing. Bishop Doggett, of Virginia, will be the presiding officer. The members will. arrive on Monday and Tuesday by the various railroads, and we have no doubt that the hospitable people of Col tnbia will gi ve them a happy reception. 'tmbia Register, dlh inst. ~ The Patterson Habeas Corpus Case. Washington, D. C, Dec. 6. When Gen. Conner made bis argument here on the 24th of November, in.tbe Patterson case, it was a universally ex? pressed opinion, both by the lawyers and the audience, that it was unanswerable, and that it had a real "bull-dozing" effect upon old Judge Humphreys, who twice during the General's speech asked him to let up a little till be (the Judge) could go out aud (drink) refresh himself, 'In? deed, Shellaharger himself became so ex? cited that he forgot himself far enough, during the General's brilliant effort, to leave bis seat, pace up and down the court-room, and in his passage by the General stopped, and quietly taking up the General's hankerchief, rammed it into his own pocket and walked oil'-with it, ouly, however, to be gently and pleas? antly nailed by the General in Iris return trip, and asked respectfully to unload. A better speech, to no purpose, was never made before a drunkeu judge and an- intelligent audience than Gen. Conner made on that occasion. But the old creature withheld his decision until yes? terday, and consumed an hour and a half in reading to the conclusion, that he would not allow the State of South Caro? lina to take Patterson away from his seat in the Senate, because Hampton was only obeying the behests of a faction when he made the demand for him, and that it was not the State speaking in her sovereign capacity. While I never saw ?Judge Humphreys drihk a drop, it is the common credited opinion here that he has not drawn a sober breath in many, many years. It is generally believed that Shellabarger, Patterson's leading counsel, wrote the decision in this case. With such.a lawyer to write the decis? ions in his cases, and Judge McKay, to write the speeches he made in defense of himself, Patterson may after awhile, if he fan avoid showing the cloven-foot, make some men believe he is a persecuted man. " It may not be amiss to quote the fol? lowing from the judge's decision: "The most cruel tyranny would be the applica? tion of civil forms of law to the domi? nance and triumph of the passions of a facliou. I cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to give aid in placing man? acles and handcuffs around and about the individual citizen for the purpose of surrendering him, bound, into the hands of those who may not he dispassionate enough to vindicate the true rights of, the individual, or those who might be led by impassioned appeals to a condition of mind they could not resist." . What docs this mean but that the State could not calmly aud dispassionately try this.man according to law for the acts alleged against him ? - This drunken judge further said, it was the duty of the court to sit still and de? liberate, and in its decision throw its protection where "it would curb and con? trol wayward action.". A direct insult to the State. How will all this end ? I fear by Pat? terson remaining where he is, and doing penance by occasi. nally voting with the Democrats, as he did in seating Gen. Butler. Will, this satisfy the demands of justice? Wiil the State be content with this? Will the people say to this son of Belial, go and fin no more? I trust the past will not so soon be forgto ten, nor the present be made so shame? ful. . t It is telegraphed to the papers here, via New York, that Governor Hampton has determined upon the policy of uni? versal amnesty towards the harpies that plundered South Carolina so ferociously (luring the ten years of Radical regime; and it is further stated that Patterson has been telegraphed to by Mackey, that the decision of Judge Humphreys in his case meets with approval from both par? ties in South Carolina, and that public sentiment sustains the authorities in their 'disposition to extend clemency to him I r.nd all the other thieves tbat so plun? dered the State. j Can these things be so? Before the I investigation has ceased, and whilst every I day develops more and more the system I atized rascality of that carpet-bag crew, are our people tiring of their efforts to bring them o * and all to Justice, and, with unheard of magnanimity, ready to forget and forgive ? I trust not. Turn Smalls loose, for he deserves some pity; I but bring Corbin, and Chamberlain, and Patterson, andv Dunn, and Bowen, et id, 8k., to share Carppnter's straw mattress, or, in my judgment, the people will not be satisfied.?Cor. News and Courier. ' The President's message.?Have the farmers of the State read carefully the President's Message? If so, were they not impressed with the following facts ? Nearly one-fifth of it is devoted to the discussion of the currency question. About one-tenth to the "lately emanci? pated race," one-tenth to the army, nearly as much to the navy, and quite as much to the plagued Indians, while one little paragraph tells us that the commissioner of agriculture reports most gratifying re? sults from the labors of the past year, and that the commissioner intends to try to make our farmers raise their own sugar and not import any from any place. Now, this is just about the value placed upon the agricultural interest of our country by every legislative body and by all governmental officials. Millions of the people's money are annually appro? priated to keep up a standing army, for which a Republican Government ought to have no use ; or similar amounts are annually appropriated to sustain a.navy that has ho better sense than to uselessly cause the loss of valuable citizens, vide the wreck of the Huron. But a few thousand dollars and a passing word will suffice for the encouragement of the de? velopment of the great science of agri? culture. But farmers won't organize for their own protection, and who is to blame? Antiquity of the Turkey.?Tur? keys were introduced into England from America by William Strickland, Lieu? tenant to Sebastian Cabot, in the time of Henry VII. B. Franklin remarked once upon a time that the wild turkey should have been the emblem of the United States, the log cabin of the pioneer being in his day surrounded by these birdr? The first turkey seen in France was served up at the wedding feast of Charles IX., in 1564, at which feast Craddock and Susan B. Anthony were, present. Since that day turkeys have always form? ed the nucleus for wedding feasts and Thanksgiving dinners, which is about all we know concerning the bird, unless we should say that newspaper men have al? ways held that a cut from the forward part of a roast turkey's carcass, smothered in gravy and surrounded by a pound and a half of artificial intestines, is a dish not in the least detrimental to health, and one which no?newspaper man ever hesi? tated to tackle when favorable oppor? tunity offered.?Owensboro [Ky.)

An Irishman, fresh from his coun? try, saw a turtle for the first time, and at once made up his mind to capture it.

This is a compound remedy, prepared with scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Fuch a remedy the necessities of the people in malari? ous dietricts demand. It* great superiority over any other medicine yet discovered for the cure of Intermittent is, that it contains no quinine or mineral, and those who take it arc free from danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and are as healthy after using it as before. It has been extensively employed during tho last thirty years in the treatment of these distressing dis? orders, and so unvarying has been its success that it has gained the reputation of being infalli? ble.
