[FROM AN OCCASION AL CORRESPONDENT.]
OBANOEBUBO, S. C., December SI.-What has
been the result of '68 in this section of the
State? jfc.opened to the people-as does the de?
sert to the wearied traveller-ruin, defeat,
despair, debt, mocked them everywhere, and
escape seemed hopeless; yet energy was left
them, and with faith they again held the
plough handle. A genial spring, a splendid
summer and a favoring autumn rewarded their
toil, and to-day they regard the piles of provi?
sion with gratitude. The merchants ot Orange
burg, anticipating a full share of trade, laid in
suitable stocks, and, judging from their activity
in attending the crowds who blocked their
counters during the three weeks preceding
Christmas, it is reasonable to suppose they
appreciate the lull which now exists. Affairs
in this district (oounty), pardonnez moi, are in
a healthy condition. True, hundeds formerly
wealthy are now in poverty, yet hundreds are
escaping the fetters of debt which clogged
their progress, and the people want only time
to restore themselves to prosperity.
Negroes who worked with and under the di?
rection of the planters hava done well; their
earnings havo been ample to equip them with
comforts, clothing and provisions for another
year; while those who farmed on their own'ao
count are in a miserable plight, without food.
or clothing. I know of two gangs, embracing
about thirty prime haads, whose gross earnings
were one bale of cotton and se'*dnty-five bush?
els of corn. They rented over two hundred
acres of land, and, to my certain knowledge,
have paid only thirty-six dollars, (being one
third of their crops), and to-day have not a
peck of corn to go on next year.
The Orangeburg News has cbanged hands,
and will probably its sentiments, mais nous
verrons.
Charleston is well represented here among
the merchants, Messrs. John A. Hamilton,
John D. Stocker, R. Jennoy and G. S. Shirer
having located permanently among us.
May '69 be as auspicious to Carolina as old
'68, and a brighter era wiliUawn on her history.
QUELQUEFOIS.
How TO REDUCE YOUK GAS BILL.--It isa
matter of importauce to many por?ons to bo
able to keep their gas bills at the lowest point,
consistent with a full supply of light. By ob?
serving the following directions it will be
found that gas bills may be brought down very
much below what most of our readers havo
been in tho habit of paying :
First.-In lighting your gas, turn the gas on
the metre about one-half, then light the gas,
and regulate the lights by the stop-cook that
lets the gas into the metre. This preveuts the
pressure of gas from making the index move
so fast. The gloater the pressure of gas on
the metre the faster it moves, and the larger
will be the gas bill. *
Second.-From the tims gas is usually light?
ed until half-past eight or nine o'clock, the
proBsure is the same. After the stores and
shops are closed, the pressure is greater on
tbe met rea in use, and the stop-cock should
then be turned at the metre so as to regulate
the pressure.
An observance of these directions may entail
some little trouble, but it will most certainly
reduce gas bills very materially. Many per?
sons pay almost as much for gas that is wast?
ed as for -what they consume, and waste may
be entirely prevented by following these rules.
THE COTTON CBOP IN GBOBOIA.-Intelligent
pl outers agree that two-thirds of the cotton
crop of 1868 has already been sent forward.
Many others say three-fourths of it has left
the plantations, and has either been sold or is
now in warehouse. We have received about
?H,OOO bales at this point, and the gross
arkount will not go over 60,000, against 80,000
las\ year. Its early maturity, and the fine
price which has bee? constantly maintained
j? our the beginning df the season, have great?
ly facilitated its early shipment to market.
The coUoo planters ot Georgia hove reaped a
rich haVvest of money from their orop this
year. Ohe or two mor? such will make the
State as rich, as free and independent as ever
it was ia its palmiest days. It took them two
years to t>arn how to deal with free labor.
They now understand it perfectly, and evory
year hence will but add to the wealth and
prosperity of both races.-Macon Telegraph.
RIFBJOKBATINO IUILROAD CAfes.-On the
track of the Hudson River Railroad, Naw York,
there is at present a railroad car designed for
the transportation of fruit, fish, flesh, and
other perishable productions of the animal and
vegetable kingdoms, long distances at moderate
cost and without deterici&tio!). The car ia so
constructed that any degree of cold from zero
upwards can bo obtained, and In auoh a man?
ner that while the most "delicate fruits may be
Sreserved for weeks they will not be frosted,
bo oar is, in fact, a huge fruit or meat-pre?
server, acting on the principle or the preser?
ving jar or can, the only difference being that
one obtains by the introduction of oold what
the others secures by heat-namely, the ex?
pulsion of the atmosphere.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Closing np the Work ot* Amnesty-Thus
Tortugas Prisoners-Urant and tne
ll adicals.
Tho Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Gazette, under dato of tho 29th instant,
says :
There is goo.l reason for believing that Pres?
ident Johnson has concluded lo fiuish up tho
work ot amnesty and that right early, as the
opinion oi three members ot his Cabinet to-day
urged him to do HO. It was argued that con?
sistency demanded that those guilty of lessor
offences should not bc allowed to sutler in
prisons while free p:.rd n was granted to all
those who have be?n fortunate enough to es?
cape imprisoumout. A distinguished gentle?
man iu a position to know, strongly intimated
this afternoon, aftor tho regular Cabinet meet?
ing had adjourned, that tho political Bufferers
at tho Dry Tortugas would soon be released
from tlioir imprisonment. Mr. Johnson ex?
presses groat gratification at tho spirit in
which bis lato pioclamatiou has-been received
by the whole country-a few sore-head politi?
cians only excepted.
The efforts when are being put forth by th9
Radical leaders lo make General Grant c. mero
party instrument in the exeoutivo chair, aro
indeed persistent and herculean. Yet those
who are the more intimately associated with
the President elect confidently predict a dead
failure on the pi rt of theso managing politi?
cians. General Rawlins, who is believed to bo
tho only confidant of General Grant, has grown
to be a's dumb as his chief; and yet lie ven?
tures to enjoy an occasional laugh at the dis?
comfiture of the Radicals, who tail iu their ef?
fort?! to draw from General Grant the slightest
intimation as to the future.
General Grant has left town. Q iid mmes
are busily employed in manufacturing greit
politioal movements as tho causo ot his exit.
It is known, howover, that his visit to the
North is a dodge to avoid calling on th& Presi?
dent on New Year's Day, whioh etiquette en?
joined, if he were in the city. Tho General
probably did not wish to set au example of in?
subordination in this respect. Tiiis is not
soldierlike, and I have heard his "Inching
out" smartly criticised even by Radicals.
GRANT ON ROTATION.
The recont statements in the correspondence
of the New York Tribune purporting to give
General Grant's views, and alleging .that he
would not remove office-holders on political
grounds alone, have no. trustworthy founda?
tion. It is well known by all of General Grant's
friends that he is, and has been at all times, in
favor of removing from office every Democrat
whom he finds in place; and in talking to his
friends he speaks freely of '.Copperhoads'' and
rob?is, aud nover conceals his disliko for
them.
"LET US HAVE PEACE I'"
A few days ago a roapectably-drossed lady
appeared at General Grant's bealquarteie and
asked his influence to secure an. office under
the government, enforcing her application
upon the plea that she had two sons killed in
the late war. General Grant heard her story,
and then turned her over to General Dent, in?
structing him to further inquire into tho mat?
ter, and if tho case was really a worthy ono to
uso hiB (Grant's) name in recommending her
for a position in one of the departments. Gen?
eral Dent, in turn, listened to her story, and
finally asked her under what general her sons
were serving when they loBt their lives. The
lady hesitated, and finally replied : "Well, to
tell the truth, sir, one was serving under Gen?
eral EweP, and the other under Colonel Mos?
by." The interview terminated at once, and
General Grant did not endorse the application
for a position.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
It is believed in diplomatic circles that the
ohanges in tho protocol for the settlement of
the Alabama claims, which weie suggested by
Seoretary Seward m dispatches by a late
steamer to Minister Johnson, have 'been ac?
cepted "by the Eigbeh 'ministry, and that Ihe
treaty is in such shape that its speedy ratifica?
tion by the United States Senate may be look?
ed for as a matter of course. It is expected
that a messenger from Mr. Joh ison will arrive
here during the coming month, bearing the
treaty in as complete a form as the English
Government can make it at this time.
THE COLDNESS BETWEEN GENERAL GRANT AND
PRESIDENT JOHNSON-EMBARRASSMENT OF THE
PRESIDE?T ELECT-THE NEW DILEMMA OF IN?
AUGURATION DAY.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Sun writes, under date of the 80th ult. :
Referring to tho coldness between the Presi?
dent and General Grant, tho papera mention
the embarrassment on the part of the latter
attending the observance of an old custom, or
matter of official etiquette, on New Year's day
in Washington, namely, the call upon the
President which all the officers of tue army
and navy stationed in Washington are expect?
ed to make on that day. It is suggested that
General Grant by his absence from this city on
Friday next, will be relieved of this embarrass?
ment.
There is another custom observed between
outgoing and incoming Presidents that, if ob?
served on the fourth of March, will renew the
kind of embarrassment referred to. Usually,
on that day, tho outgoing President notifies
his successor of his readiness to accompany
the latter to the capitol, and does seat him in
the Executive carriage and drive with him to
the place assigned for the inauguration cere?
monies to take place.
If General Grant declines to como in contact
with President Johnson on New Year's day,
becauso of the unpleasant feeling existing be?
tween them, the same cause will in all proba?
bility induce him to wish to avoid a meeting
with Mr. Johnson on the 4th of MarQh, - Prob?
ably this embarrassment may be overcome
consistently with General Grant's practice of
avoiding prepared ovations and ceremonies.
He may decline the inauguration ceremony,
and quietly take the executive oath before a
competent officer-even a justice of the peace
and as quietly take possession of the White
House.
CHARLESTON AND THE WEST.
The Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi
Uiver Join Hands.
[From the Vicksburg (Miss.) Sentinel, Deo. 33 ]
One of the greatest drawbacks to trade and
to the rapid development of enterprise in this
city-and not only bas it been felt hare, but it
has exerted its baneful influences upon trade
all throughout the South-has been the want
of through railroad lines to connect the (treat
mart of America, New York, with the trade
conducted among us. By the old system ship?
ments of goods were so long in reaching their
destination that much valuable time has been
lost and the demand for the goods so shipped
has been dwarfed. Wo have long realized that
we have at our command the elements of this
beneficial enterprise, and that it only required
properly directed effort to develop it. The
completion of the Rome Road has proved the
connecting link, and at onoe energetic effort
was made to accomplish this grind result.
Tho merchants of our city and Jackson have
long looked anxiously forward A the time when
the Mississippi River and the Atlantio Ocean
might be linked together by one unbroken line
of railway, where unity of aotton and harmony
would tend to bring about this niuo li desired
purpose. The necessity of it has been so im?
peratively felt that futile efforts have toen
made to accomplish it in the past, but unfortu?
nately these efforts were unavailing. But we
are gratified in being able to announce that
throusrh tho indefatigable efforts of the officers
along the line the last obstacle has been re?
moved, and that to-day a line is itt operation
by which goods have been shipped from New
York via Charleston and delivered in Borne,
Georgia, in four days, and along* the lin? of
tho Selma Road in five days, and could have
been delivered in this city in six days. A ship?
ment of cotton was made over this line by
Messrs. Lamkin & Eggioston on the 16th
'instant, whioh was received in Charleston on
the 20th, Just four days'interval. This ship?
ment beyond a doubt will be delivered in New
York city on the 24th instant, and could -have
reached that etty two days earlier? but that it
missed the Charleston and New York steamer,
and was therefore compelled to remain lo
Charleston awaiting shipment by a steamer
whioh left two days later. The rates are as
low aa the lowest, being from New York to
Vicksburg per 100 pounds, first class freight,
ta 27; second clase, $2 Ol; third class, $106 and
fourth class, tl 07- On? great ad vania go pos?
sessed by this lino is that there is only one re?
Rhipmertt between this city and Nev, York, and
that occurs at Charleston when transferred
from the steamer to the cars. ?

Farther Details of the Loss of tho Hiber?
nia- Marvellous Kscevpe of some of the
Boats-Awful Suffering-Some of the
Passengers become Insane and Leap
into the Ucean.
Our English flies are filled with thc harrow?
ing details of tho loss of the steamship Hiber?
nia, which recently foundered at sea on the
passage from New York. Wo copy the follow
h.qr. narrative of Mr. Davis, tho second officer,
who had a marvellous escape in ono of the
ship's boats :
When we loft tho Hibernia, we had in our
boat two barrels of biscuit, three casks of
water aud several tins of proservod moat. Two
hours alter leaving the ship we found the boat
was so full that we deemed it necessary to
throw ono of tho barrels of biscuit overboard
to make room for the passengers. The boat
was a life-boat, twenty-two foet long, with six
or seven feet beam. Ono woman had two
children, of threo and five years old, respec?
tively, and another an infant of six months
old. Our boat was leaking badly whon we
started, and it required two men constantly
bail in ?? to keep ber afloat. Soon after leaving
the Hibernia, we fell astern of the other boats,
boinT only able to pull two oars, owing to our
crowded condition. When the first mate's
boat was capsized, we attempted to get round
and assist them, but, bain;? nearly swamped in
doing so, we were obliged to attend to our own
safety. During that day we pulled before the
wind, but at night we lay to by means of ?
floating anchor, and endeavored to make the
b jat ns trim as possible. We tried to make
tho women as comfortable as we could by
spreading tarpaulins over the forward part of
the boat. Nobody asked to get anything to
eat the first day, nil being too anxious to think
of eating. Ou tho following (Thursday)
morning we got a lugsail sot on the boat, and
nindo the bast of our way for the Irish coast,
before a south westerly breeze.
Nothing of not? occurred that day, but the
following night (Friday) an old man, who had
shown symptoms of derangement, jumped
overboard, saying bo was going to bed. On
the third day the breeze fell very light, and we
had to take to tho oars. Next morning, one of
tbo passengers, supposed to bo Francis Rodg?
ers, suddenly throw himself overboard. A
woman, supposed to be bis sister, pleaded
hard that some ot us should throw her int? the
sea after him; hut we endeavored to soothe
her, and succeeded iu some degree. Bodgere
was evidently out of his senses. He had quar?
relled with us because we nailed the compass
to the thwarts. Ho wanted the kucos ot his
trousers darned, as "he could nos* hs said,
"go home with holes in them." Up to this
time provisions hal boen given in moderate
quantities, aud each person had a daily allow?
ance of a pint of water. Wo had, however, to
shorten the allowance. We had to keep pull?
ing both on tho fourth and fifth days, and did
not make much progress. SundaV was calm
all day. The children hitherto bael been tol?
erably lively. The infant was fed on mashed
biscuit, its mother having no milk, and the
others got biscuit and preserved meat, with
a small quantity of preserved fruit.
The want of sufficient water now bogan to
be felt, and owinu to the close packing of all
in the boat, and the frequeut wettings, cramps
were very general. We were forced to keep
everything in one position as much as possible
to avoid capsizing. Up to Monday no ono bad
seriously complained of the discomforts, and
all were in tolerable spirits. Tue seamen did
all in their power to inspire hope, and tho
quartermaster, Blair, spuu yarns to keep their
Bpirita up. On Wednesday tho second engi?
neer sung the one hundredth psalm, and many j
joined with bim. That day tho witid blew hard
from the southwest, and we had to bring the
boat to by using the sail and two of our oars as
a floating anchor, and in doing FO lost both sail
and oars. It was useless to seek for them, it
being now dark; so wo had to make' a sail out
of a piece of tarpaulin, and bi content with
one oar and a half that wo had with us in the
boat. The wind blowing freshly, the tarpau?
lin was torn into rags, and we substituted for
it bedcovers. Those latter were also soon de?
stroyed. Samuel Brewster, au old man, died
on wednesday, after going raviug mad. Many
of our number now sbowed signs of madness;
probably from despair and exposure to extreme
cold. Some became violent and threatening m
their cenduot, and we bad to use force with
certain of them, and gradually we got them
calmed down.
Early on Thursday morning, a child five years
of age died, and shortly afterwards its mother
expired. Another child took lockjaw, and died
also. The bodies were thrown'overboard. The
effect on the survivors was very visible. All
this time we were making slow p ogress to?
wards the Irish coast. The torn tarpaulin had
been meuded in the best fashion we could, and
served in a kind of way for a lugsail. Provi?
sions and water were now given in small quan?
tity. One of the barrels of biscuits was found
to be much soaked with sea water, and one of
the Lash water casks had leaked half of its
contents. We had to disregard the appeals
for drink, and the consequence was that sev?
eral seamen took to quenching their thirst
with salt water in spite of our remonstrances.
This was continued until a number got per?
fectly mad. Walter McFarlane, fireman, was
one of those who persisted in taking saltwater,
and his conduct became so dangerously out?
rageous that he had to be tied to the bottom.
He diod in this state.
On Friday morning we had sailed four hun?
dred and fifty miles. The tarpaulin sail had
given way half a dozen times, and as often
mended, and, on the whole, the boat had gone
very well. This day the infant died. Our
situation had become miserable in the ex?
treme. Tho sea was breaking over the boat in
clouds of spray, wetting every one to the skin,
and all were sitting in pools of water. There
was nothing now to cover the women, as wo
bad used everything for sails. Cramp had
seized ali of us, moro or less, and our legs and
hands were greatly swelled, and, consequently,
very painful. Tho fresh water was so scarce
that less than a pint had to servo four persons
for a day, and provisions were equally scanty.
Soma of us were raving and violently mad. A
woman died as the evening closed in, hut the
fact was not noticed at the time, and the body
was still in the boat when the greatest of all
our calamities occurred. About ll o'olock a
heavy Wave struck the boat, and those on
board in their drowsy condition falling sudden?
ly in a mass to the leo side, she went over, and
all were left struggling in the water. The
boat floated upwards, and Reilly managed to
struggle up and seat himself upon the keel.
He assisted Blair to get up, which the latter
did with some difficulty, as a drowning pas?
senger had laid hold of his leg. Reilly then
assisted Mr. Davies, who had also to
shake himself olear of some ono clinging to his
foot. Mo others got hold of the boat, though
several were beard for a time shouting or swear?
ing as they swam about in the darkness. One
poor soul had got under the boat, and ho was
heard for nearly half an hour. He was appa?
rently holding on by the thwarts, and breath?
ing the air whioh had been enclosed who., the
boat rolled over, or which reached him through
the chinks in h'.r timbers. About twelve o'clock
a heavy sea struck the boat, and the threo who
were sitting astrido of the keel were again im?
mersed in the water. Blair was the first to re?
cover his position, and by his assistance the
other two men wrought up on the boat. The
sail was floating alongside, and we got hold of
the ropes attached to tho mast, ana, watching
for a favorable opportunity, managed, by pull?
ing upon the ropes, to. got the boat righted.
She was, of course, full of water, and we bailed
her at first with flat pieces of wood, and after?
wards with 'two tin cans whioh wo lound attach?
ed to the thwarts. At length, by hard labor,
wo got her olear. Everything was lost out or
the boat except one oar, the mast, tho tarpau?
lin sail and the yard, and wo were thus left,
without provisions or water? When daylight
broke, we again made sall upon the boat as
well as we could, and again steered our course
to the eastward, with a favorable wind.
By Sunday evening we were beginning to get
down-hearted.? We saw a sail-the first we
bad seen-but sho did not observe us, and
darknoss shortly aftor closing in, we had no
?light with which to attract attention. We were
downoast at this, but about six o'clock we wero
suddenly cheered by seeing a light to tho east?
ward, whioh turned out to be from Tory Is?
land lighthouse. Wo made for the light,
though it was blowing strongly from the south?
west, with a heavy sea running. On getting
?loso to th? land, we found ourselves among
dangerous breakers, and were forced to make
our tfiy out aRain to save our lives. We ran
out nemo five miles and brought to to waft for
daylight*
About this time some heavy showers fell, the
first of any- consequence that we had met with
since the wreck, and we employed every means
within, our reach to oatoh a little fresh water,,

duction. W
lu a lotter, published &i the Georgi i papers,
Mr. Philip Pqullain has jT^on moro explicit in?
formation in regard iq ns system of cotton
planting. He say d:
It rauBt bo apparenfe&o ovory one that tho
rovolutiou which basJWft mado in our system
of labor, has made tt?dirarai y a new system ot
cotton culture. ThjjfcHfEpor upon whioh tho
growth of cotton ivjp; Heretofore depended,
does not appear .tobo effroi' increasing or like?
ly to iucioaso. Thet?j?s no indication that
when trained hauds^f llf??s generation pass off
in tho course of naturejiiiiat their places can
be supplied from tho stun o source. To regain
our sgrioulturai proSspeS i ty, these conditions
make it requisite that 'vo should devise some
improved system Of ~ Cit?turo waich wiil give
us au increased yield fifiton a small area. We
must cultivate lesa lauM and make that land
profitable by making t% proauce as much as
our extended cult?valiot^forinerly yiolded.
Having, during, the. experience of many
years, discovered thai tro losses in the cotton
crop were, in a ?goat .'.degree, o.ving to the
want of deep prepaiati.it; of the soil in pre?
venting the root? ^0\f ;0>*o plant from penetra?
ting to the depth of fie?pctual moisture, I
adopted tho motkod , pf mgging holes-say
from fifteen to twent-vi'four inches deep and
two feet square, ihro.foftg out the clay and fill?
ing the whole wlfcfcjimrfico toil. By this
method I make' a soi J from 15 to 24 inches
deep. Should the .toft bo poor, I manure it
richly in the prepared 1$lo. The quantity and
tho quality of the maijuro demands tho best
judgment of the larine,?.
Our ploughing is UM" generally four inches
deep. Cotton plantejEBwibh such preparation
can only sena its r?ots '.'.bout five inches deep.
When drouth overtake* it the fibrous roots
and the tap roots bett g near the surface are
destroyed, or more o?- less injured'by heat,
from want of moist ure. The plant then sheds
most of its forms.
On the improved yian above indicated tho
roots of tho plant penetrate from fifteen to
twonty-four inches iuio the region of perpetual
moisture. No though can affect it. The cot?
ton has uninterrupted growth, and tho whole
or nearly all ot tho foi: .is mature.
Cotton is an exotic, ?jj Tho longer the season
can be had upon it, provided the preparation
ot tho soil is adapted lo it, the more it will
produce. The larger ' uot taller) the stock be
c nues the greater nt ruber of blooms it will
make from day to day. The proportioned in?
crease at the jirope?iiBeason, from day to day,
is wonderful, lt wai;..o meet this point that I
adopted the method transplanting m ordina?
ry use by gardeners aflrd horticulturists, but I
found it too slow and'fxpensive to be applied to
field culture. This lc-;l me to seek a new mode.

ment, easily and quickly, with the fingers, by
simply pulling up tue surplus plants of weaker
growth. To insure* perfect success, tho hot
beda should be closely made and covered with
glass. The cups, soon after the cotton ger?
minates, is filled with the tap and fibrous
.rootsof thy plant, which preserves them from
injury. Whilst the plants are in tho hot bed
it is often necessary to water thom, but this is
easily and quickly done with a catering-pot.
When there is no longer danger from spring
frosts the planter transplants tue contents of
each oup into the place prepared tor it by
drawing the cup over the plant. Attention
should be bad to airing the plants when the
weather is warm and favorable to open cul?
ture.
Now, ak to the limit of production, whioh
seems to havo taxed your credulity so sorely.
There are 1361 holes or hills in an acre of
ground, prepared according to my method,
say eight feet from row to row, and tom- feet
in the drill (and not eight feet, as you have
erroneously stated it.) The ge natal estimate
is that 100 full grown pods or boles will make
a pound of seed cotton. Two-thirds of the
weight of seed cotton is due to the seed, ot, in
. other words, there can be gotten one-third
weight ot lint cotton Irom any given number of
pounds of seed cotton. Now, with l3?l hills to
the aore, the yield will be as follows:
No. hills. No. poda ' Lbs. seed Lbs. lint
or bulls, cotton. cotton.
1361.100 1361 453
1861.200 2722 907
1361.300 4003 1361
1361.400 4444 1851
1361.600 0805 2269
1301.SOO 8166 2722
Now the best hill that I ever made, with tho
best cluster seed from two stalks, was nearly
seven buudred pods. Those all my neighbors
have seen, as well as all of my experiments.
This, in my judgment, ia the limit of produc?
tion. But, my dear sirs, nobody assumes that
the standard of perfection reached by experi?
ment can bo taken as an average. No one bas
been misled by the perfection in wheat culture
attained by the experiments of the Athens club
last season. Nevertheless these standards
mark the limit of production, to wbioh we may
approximate a genet al average.
I am not prepared to say how much cotton
can be made as an. average per acre by my
plan. With the best seed I am convinced that
an average of from 400 to 500 pods can be bad
to the hill or hole, under favorable circum?
stances, when distance enough is allowed for
an expansive growth. I feel assured that from
five to six thousand pounds of seed cotton can
bo made to the a or upon my plan.
It is impossible for me to state accurately
the cost of cultivation per aore by my method
at this time. I think it much maro profitable
than our old plan, and would be glad to see it
thoroughly teated by a number of persons,
and will cheerfully, for tuts purpose, accord to
them the use of my patent upon application
to me (No. 394, Eutaw plsoo, Baltimore). The
sources' from whioh I look to profit over the
old system are aa follows :
Three or four acres lu cotton would bo suffi .
oient to the hand.
One-fourth the horse power only will be re
3uired for a given production of cotton. One
f th of the fencing only will bo required. Much
labor in cultivation will bc dispensed with, ex?
cept in pioking. The cotton seed made to each
hill will enrich the same hill from year to year,
as the soil is only deprived of tho Hat, ana
there is but little loss by evaporation.
Tho preparation for tho second year upon
the same ground will bo much decreased, inas?
much as so deep preparation of the soil re?
mains, in a great degree, unimpaired. (Jpo.i
hill sidos it saves a great deal of labor, much
of whioh ia lost, and avoids the effeots of wash?
ing rains.
The glass for each acre is somewhat expen?
sive, but not near so expensive as the cost of
extra horses and extra reed, whioh would be
required by our old plano, When oared for
the glass hot bed ls stock ic trade, and will
last for a number of years.
The oups of earthen or jug ware will last for
fifty years, and are also stock in trade? requir?
ing no food or extra oar?. They can be malo
St any pottery at a coat of not excoodmg $18
por thousand. I am under the impression
that in a shovt time theyoan be had at oheap
er rates, propably of a material that will make
their coat insignificant.
This principle will probtbly be introduced
into tobacco culture, and is admirably adapted
to the wants of horticulturist*, while market
gardeners, who aim at the ?artiest- vegetables
for markst, Will find it a profitable investment.

TUE" POPE AND THE SULTAN.-A Roman cor?
respondent, nuder date of tho otu ult., writes :
Fuad Pasha, who was lately given ovor by
tho physi;ians, hns now so fur recovered his
health that ho has been able to pay a viBit to
tho Pope. He was received by tho Holy Father
in tho moat oordial manner, and they soon
chat tod as fAmiliar friends, while tho Turk WSB
profuao in his expressions of gratitude for tho
attentions paid to him hy tho Pope during his
ill?e38. Tho Holy Father, on hie part, de?
scribed the Sultan as his meilleur ami among
tho sovereigns of Europo, and spoke gratefully
of tho toleration he extended to Roman Catho?
lics, not forgottiug to add that ho'hoped h?8
highness would grant them further privileges.
Fuad Pasha remarked that tho Sultan deeply
regretted lis had been uuablo to visit Rome OD
Ina Jute tour through Europo, when tho Pope
rejoined with a laugh, "\Vho knows but I shall
go to soe him at Constantinople? You aro not
ignorant that Christ has givon me all tho
earth, and my empire cxtonds to tho Darda?
nelles and for beyond, but unlike that of a
neighbor monarch, threatens no dangors to
the Sultan. Indeed, his highness and myaolf
aro in much the same situation as to neigh?
bors, for tie has his Piedmont in Russia, and I
have my Czar in the Italian Revolution. Wo
are menaced by the samo dangers, and our
brother rulers have the ?ame measure for tho
Cross as tho Croaceni. At least your sover?
eign believes in his prophet, but tho other
governments of our day do not believe even in
God." The Holy Father then requested Fuad
Pasha tc? use hi3 good offices with tho Suit in
for the protection of Catholics in every part of
the Ottoman Empire, and hero the interview
came to an end.

lit Memoriam.
McKAY.-On the 3d day of December, passed
away trora the scenes of earth to ber home ia Hea?
ven, Mrs. CECELIA MoKAY, beloved wile of JOHN
MCKAY, in the sixty-second year ol ber age. There
bas been taken from us one whose many traits of
character had won for her the tenderest regard ot
many friends, all of whom pour over her early
grave tears of sorrow. Her illness waa of long dura?
tion, but abe bore it with great fortitude, and most
wiliing'y did she prepare herself for the change,
and, as the dew of the morning, her spiiit passed
away from earth. A minister ol' tbe Gospel ?attend*
el at her bedside, and administered the consola?
tions of God's Word, She fell asleep in Jesus, we
trust, and baa gone home. She has gone to the
home of the Spirit, which is the bosom of its God
and Redeemer; that sweet and everlasting rest, und
where no dark shadows of the Angel of Death fall
upon the threshold. Phe foll asleep in death, so
gently, tbat the watchers around her scarcely knew
when the spirit bad fled. But no less waa she de
votad to her friends-her warm welcome, her cheer*
ful obliging manuors won her many, so generous
and warm hearted at all tim eg, nor did she forget to
do good and to distribute to all that stood in need.
A blank bas been left in the home circle-a vacant
chair is there, ?ho loaves a bereaved husband,
mauy^relative* and friends.
Dear as thou wert, end tutti? dear.
We would not weep for thee,
One thought shall check the starting tear.
It is that thou art free.
And thus shall faith's consoling power,
The tears of love restrain,
Ohl who that saw thy parting hour,
Could wish thee here again.
Gently the passing spirit fled,
Sustained by grace divine,
Oh! may suoh grane on us b3 shed,
And make our ead like thine.
