Hie Winnsboro' Now3 says : Somewhat higher wages ate already being ? offered to labor?is by our farmers, and we only I hopo that tolerable crops at tolerable prices | will enable them to pay them next winter, with? out repentiug of their bargain. For instance, about eighty dollars is being offered for a ploughman, which is at least twenty dollars more than last year. A third of the crop, but with fifty pounds of meat, is another contract in general favor, which ls also better, all things considered, than last year, for the crop prom? ises to prove more valuable than it did ai the samo season last year. Let the freed? man but work steadily, and even boater torms may be made by bim for 1870, and no one be a loser by them. If ho would work more skilfully, that is, give as hearty attention to the making of manure and to tho preparation of tho soil, as to ploughing and hoeing the crop, higher wages than the present high wages would bo his tor 1870, to a certainty. THE CHANGE OF VENUE. The Abbeville Banner pitches into tbe bill authorizing tbe Attorney-General to change tho venue in State cases as a blow aimed at thc dearest interests of the citizen. THE CON8TABUL.ABY. The Walhalla Courier says: Why is this county bulwark of Radicalism, or espionage over quiet and respectable citi? zens to be continued in Ooonee? A county no? torious alike for the similarity of sentiment and opinions of its citizens, and the universal peace and tranquillity that has prevailed within its limits since the overthrow of substantial justice and the inauguration of Innovation and oppression. SOCIAL EQUALITY. The Orangeburg News says : We want it distinctly understood that the columns of our paper cannot, and never will be used, while we control them, to lift the colored race above the white. And the white man who will deliberately strive to make the colored race think that they are superior to the white race, is a knave, and the truth is not in him. The colored man himself won't trust him. And whilst we advocate giving the colored people all their political rights as citizens-and use our every effort to see that they are justly dealt by in a Christian land, we at the same tune assert to our own race that "whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest 1 will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried ; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if anght but death part thee and me." BACON AND COEN. Tho Newberry Herald says : Cotton is a royal article in the world's com? merce; at present, it commands a royal price. We deem it proper to throwout a suggestion upon the next orop. From all we can learn, more than- ever, our planters have in view to plant cotton almost exclusively. It is a dan? gerous experiment. Ev. ry planter should, at least, have in view to raise his own bread-stuffs. The scarcity of corn and bacon enhances the price of labor. Labor, for the lost twelve months, has advanced at least twenty-five per cont, in value. The negro is disappearing, nobody knows where, and white labor does not. as yet, take his place. The white man will pauso before he cornea, as a laborer, to a coun? try not well supplied with beet and giain. Even at the present price of negro labor, the white laborer would not be willing to compote. If labor is to continue soarce, and the price of I labor to advanoo steadily by the increase of the surface in cotton, it is doubtful if the planter wdl be remunerated sufficiently by the probable advance in tho pried of the great staple. In all probability, the price of the bulk of the present crop is the maximum that the staple will attain. The Bingle article of bacon now exhausts, to a large extent, the wages of the colored laborer and the prouts of the employer. These matters should be well considered in connection with pitching another crop. A fail? ure of a eotton crop, with no corn and bacon, would entail ruin and starvation noon the ma? jority of the population. Let us have bacon and corn. SHAKING THE CB OP. The Winnsboro' News says: The impression pi wails amongst some that the share of tho crop contract oetween land? lord and laborer is somtUiing new under the sun, and has arisen from the exhausted con? dition in which the war left tho southern peo {?le. Now tbo truth is, that 5n perhaps tbreo ourtbs of Fiance and one-half ct Germany, at this very day, "tho metayer system ot farming prevails," which ii a modification of the share ot the orop contract system, and from what writere o.i the subject say, we baliove that very many ot' tho contracta aro identical, in every respeot, with those winch have been made in the South during tho last few years. Adam Smith, whose work was published In 1776, comments upon the metayer av stem, so that it is a century old at leant in Europe. "Who? ever theoretical objeotione may be made to it," I says Tucker, in a work pubhsbod on "Political Ecmomy for People," long before the war, "In France and many parts of Europe, a happy and prosperous peasantry flourished nuder it." 1 s 11 mm <* ? THE K. K. K'S.-A party of thia mysterious order (the K. K. K's) came into town on Sat? urday night ab jut two o'clock, and going to the Johnson House, boldly entered and called for Senator Sibley*. The senator not appearing, they took the liberty, we are told, of searching the house, but he was not found. The com 1>any then went to the r?sidence of Mr. Bige ow, foroibly entered the house, he saya, dragged him ont in his night dress, but after? wards allowing him to put on his clothing; theo took him out a mile or so from town, when the ghostly cavalcade halted under a large tree and solemnly warned hun to leave the country within thirty days, or he would be banged to a limb, and theo dismissed h aa, he says, to Bod his way back to town. He says a watch was taken from him, but no money. Oar opinion ia that these freaks ought to be abandoned. [Uuni?oit?? Independent. CU A UL KS A. PEABODY ION COMMER? CIAL M ANURES. His Method of Application and Resulte. I From tbe So'?thorn Cultivator.] Editors Southern Cultivator: As 1 am con H hutt ly receiving lettars from all parts of tha cotton growing States, asking my viows of guano-what kinds I prefer-how 1 uso it, and what quantities ?-I will mako tho Cultivator tho medium of my answers to all. Some tw^n ty-flvo years ago I bogan to oxperiment with guano. First, I tried Peruvian. This gave good satisfaction, but was, I thon thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all tho other varieties of noto. Some wero good others worthless. I had como to the conclu? sion that tho Peruvian, however o ?stly. was the cheapest in the end, as a hard working, industrious man could manip?late it with any other substance ho thought nroper. I have found salt, plaster, flower o? bines, swamp rottoiv, &o., va-lu?,!>ltj i J xa utina?M.cu s.-ith I'.vti vian guano, but tho labor ot manipulation is groat., and in tho process of manipulation much of the ammonia escapes. From this fact I have boon led to inquire whether there was not an excess of ammonia in Peru? vian guano, und whether it would not bo more advantageous to pay for the phosphates than to pay so much extra for tho volatile ammonia. Whilst full of this idea I struck tho Soluble Pacific Guano, and was so well pleased with it that last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and tho othor half with tho genuine Peruvian. The same quantity of each was used per aero. Tho laud was of tho sam a quality, tho planting and culture was in all re? spects tho same, and when tho orop was gath? ered it was impossible to tell which was the best. Mow the Soluble Pacific Guano cost me $20 less per ton, and as a consequence I have this year used the Soluble Paci?o Guana alono. lt oost mo, at the agent's depot m Columbus, $75 per ton. lt may bo woll hero to stato tho charaotor of my land. 1 do not live on exactly what would be callod pine bartons, but it is next to it. The older portion of my land will not, with ordina? ry culture, bring throe hundred pounds of seed cotton to the aero. A field of ten acres, whioh I wished to experiment on with tho Dickson cotton, hybridizing it with my upland long staple, I ploughed and subsoiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly le vol; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about twenty-fivo feet wide, and sowed Soluble Pacific Guano broadcast, at the rate ot two hundred pounds to the acre. This I turned under with a turn shovel plough, then opened furrows three feet apart with a long point scooter, follow? ing in the same furrow with a shovel plough; in this furrow I put two hun? dred pounds more of the guav.o to the acre. Then 1 threw the furrows together into the centre with a .turn-shovel, which left but a slight ridge, and on this ridge plant? ed the seed. The Dickson variety bears much thicker planting than other kinds. The growth and fruiting of tho orop was superb-nothing equal to it had ever boon seen in this ecotion of tho country, and if the worms had not swept all tho top and end bolls, it would have made two good bales to the sere. As bad as it has turned eut, it has mado a hilo to tho acre. To a half acre near my dwelling, that I had oowpenned last winter, I applied two hun? dred pounds of the Soluble Pacific Guano in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet weather in August, and tbe worms, which took all tho late crop, I have picked over two thous? and pounds of seed cotton from the half acre. Thero aro those in my neighborhood who plant land as good as mino, but without guano, that will scarcely realize a bale from ten acres this year. And now a word to the purchaser. If you would get tho Soluble Pacific Guano genuine, purchase it only ol the authorized agents of the company. I have tried the Peruvian and Pacific on ray garden oropsj but with na good results. Peruvian Guano seems to be emphat? ically the food for cotton fruit-other fertiliz? ers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are paying for a vola? tile ammonia, much of whioh is bound to es? cape without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter's interest to take that guano which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abundance of ammonia for all practical pur? poses? The Soluble Paciflo Guano I have found from sound practical tests to be equal to the Peruvian and muoh cheaper. I hold that no man can afford to plant cotton without guano. CHAS. A. PEABODY. Lee County, Ala., near Columbus, Ga., Nov. 14.1868. AGRICULTURA!. LABOR IN ENG - LAND. A board of commissioners were lately ap? pointed by the English Government to inquire into and report upon the facts connected with the employment of women and children in field labor in that kingdom. Their report has been presented, and from it we gather the following facts. Speaking of Northumberland, the re? port says : Women are extojsively employed through? out the whole year, and their labor is con? sidered essential for the cultivation of the land. The work of two women is usually required for every seventy-five acres of the light land, and a larger proportion lor that which is heavier, or farmed on the four course instead of the five-course syotem. Their labor consists in the various opera? tions of cleaning the land, pioking stones, weeding, Sic. ; turnip hoeing, haymaking and harvest work, rooting and shawing (that is, cleaning) turnips; barn work, with the thrash? ing and winnowing machines, filling dung carts, turning dung-heaps, spreading dung, and sowing artificial manure; turnip cutting in tbe winter for sheep, ?fcc, and occasionally driving carts or harrowing; in some instances forking (pitching) and loading hay or corn, though when such is the case two women are Eut to the work of ono man. The Nor thurn - rian women who do these kinds of labor are physically a splendid race; their strength is such that they can vie with the men in carry? ing sacks of corn, and there seems to be no work in the fields which affects them injurious? ly, however hard it may appear. Tho univer? sal opinion and feehng is that it conduces to health. The dress of these north-country women is admirably adapted for their work; being made to fit easily it does not encumber them, and being of strong materials, it defies all weath? ers. Generally it consists of a pair of stout boots, a very short thick woollen petticoat, warm stockings, a jacket, ?fcc; over all a wash? ing pinafore with sleeves (called a slip), whioh ??reserves their dress from the dirt. Their aces are protected by a shade or "ugly" of di? vers colors. Children seldom, if ever, go to work in the Glendale Union before eleven or twelve years of age, and then merely tor sommer work. Their employment is boeing potatoes and corn, turnip hoeing, (two being put to the work of one woman), haymaking, assisted at harvest by making bands, ?fcc, weeding and picking up stones, THE FLIGHT or MB. DAVIS.--A member of the escort which accompanied Jefferson Davis in his last flight from Richmond ha? written a letter to the Louisville Democrat denying some of Mr. Pollard's statements ia his re? cent artiole in Packard's Monthly." "Mr. Pol? lard," he says, "takes up considerable space in describing the preparations m ide tor 'flight' previous io the fall of Richmond, and tnen trios to show that Mr. Davis was frightened HmS? ht? deceived General lace's telegram. . * * I Now, Richmond fell on tho third of April; Mr. Davis was in Washington, Georgia, on the third of Muy-just one month in travelling a distance that could easily have been made in a day or two. Mi. Davis remained in ono camp (not far from Charlotte, North Carolina) ten days. When he left that oamp he knew that the Federals were ahead of him, but thero was no effort made to get out of their reach by forced marobee. Mr. Pollard says .that Mr. Davis did not 'forget' the money in the treas? ury, less than $40,000. rh,s is said to' croate the impression that Mr. Davis used the money. This is untrue. The money in' the treasury was equally divided among the men composing the escort. I was one of them, and received twenty-five dollars in specie. Every mad in the brigade (Ferguson's) received the same amount. Mr. Pollard says the escort was com? pos?e of five brigades, in all about ono thous? and men. Oar brigade commander paid oil over nine hundred at Washinton, Georgia, on the third of May. Giving the four other bri? gades only moe hundred men together, we have eighteen hundred men on tho escort. dire t wen tv-five dollar? to each man - and we have, $46,000-|M00 more than Pollard says Davis started from Richmond with. It waa generally understood that Hfifptrd waa ono of the editors of' the Biohmond ?examiner during the war. Perhaps he hates Mt. Davis bocauso that gentleman refused to rvi tho Confede? racy as tho Examiner dictated/ TUE REVOLT IN VA IN. - The Insurrection in cudi ; l'hc Conflict Between tbo Military KUI tho People Exciting Scones and Incidents. The Sevil!? c ^rrospondenc%, of tho London Times contains the folio wing/?raphic account of tbo insurrection in Cadiz, a . .i thc surrender of tho so-calloi rebels: When the sun rose on Sunday, tho Gth, tho relativo position of the two n ? rtios waa aa fol? lows: The troops, ?Uogetber*?&K)ut threo tbou i in!, hold tho barrack*, thn^ommanding tho land Rate; butas tbouuburb of San Joao, just outside, was occupied by tho insurgents, th 3 cato waa available to neither party. Tho troops hold tho customh<'uso, which they mado their headquarters, and tho whole* of tho wall be? tween it and tb.3 barracks, \ .us koopiup pos? session of tho soa gate and a g:lto near tho cus? tomhouse called tho Sovillo gato. T.vo forts San Babastiau and Santa Catalina-with the park of artillery, wore in tho possession of the military, but, hoing isolated ?nd only slightly garrisoned, they took little part in the conflict. Tho town-house formed tho headquarters of tho militia, among whom one Salgochea, and also Junco, a master tailor, soomed to have acted prominent, parts. It had boen aban? doned by tho municipal authorities, who had taken refuge in the customhouse. In the basement of tho town-house- the insurgents placed a thirty-aix-pounder cannon, directed towards tho soa gato, while nt tho loft of tbo building, across the ends of the streets, which thor? omened on to the square, were two bar? ricades, each armed witto a similar gun, and on tho right a very strong and 'extensive two sided barrioado constructed of barr?la and crates filled with stones, which likewise was provided with two guns of .?iinilar calibre, pointed across tho square. The converging fire of five guns could thus bo brought to bear on any troops attempting to assault the town? house, for the square was much narrower at the sea gate end than at the other. These guns, whioh proved so fright tully destruct i ve to tho troops, were loaded wvii every variety of old iron-nails, screws, locks, keys, flat? irons and scraps of every kind, of whioh I saw heaps afterwards in tho basement of tho town? house Besides this, every street which opened to? wards tho wads, und most of the great thor? oughfares, oontained loopholed barricades from fivo to six feet high, constructed of pav? ing-stones, or occasionally o? barr?la of ce? ment, halos ot brown papor, o?- sacks of coffee, &c. Stones wore carried up to tho roofs of thc houses, aud I also saw two 8-inch guns in position on the south side, bat which did not seem to have been fired, tho principal attacks being made on the east side ot tho town. Tno troops in the customhouse tLxocced thoir ef? forts against tho houses oppunto the custom? house and the streets leading from it into the town. They succeeded in po.soaaing them? selves of several ot the houses; but in tho streets they seem, from tho marks on the Walls, to have been uniform i y unsuccessful, never penetrating far up them, and, from the immense number of mark* of rifle balls, either they muat have fires very wildly or fought most corporately, ft was in one of these attacks that General iv. ihn received a sertoas^wound^i^ cora The troops from^aebarra^^on^eavored to storm the barrica ies on the square and to take the town house, whioh they cannonaded from the wall with shot, shell and grape, the marks and destructive effects of whioh missiles, to 8ether with innumerable rifle shots, are visi? le over the entire facade ot the town house and most of the other buildings on the square. ! The trees which grew there, now torn by grape, I present a most curious spectacle, as do also tbe richly furnished and decorated rooms of the municipality, the statues, busts, clocks, chairs,'lustres, writing tables, ?fee, being per? forated and destroyed by the numerous pro? jectiles that entered through the windows. I found any attempt to count the number of shot marks on the houses whioh had suffered most quite useless, and it seems utterly unac? countable how the force engaged should have been able to fire away so many shots iu the sixty-five hours during whioh the fight lasted. A Spaniard stated that he counted three hun? dred in a space eight metres by four on the facade of the town-house, which building was struck thirty times by oannon shot and shell. The most fatal attack waa that made on the 6th by the Cazadores de Madrid, who. landing from Trooadero, came tnrougb the sea gate, and rushing on, notwithstanding the fire of the cannon, succeeded in crossing the first barricades; but being unable to take those be? hind them, were killed almost to a man be tween t o two. It is said that out of one hun dred and twenty-five not twenty-five escaped. Throughout the next morning the fighting was unabated; the troops were reinforced by three hundred men of the regiment Barcelona, and a vessel m the harbor commenced a bom 1 ard ment whioh, however, was discontinued, ow ing, it is said, to the energetio intervention of the American and other consuls. Several attempts had been made by vessels in the harbor to furnish food and ammunition to the troops through the Seville gate, but this being perceived by the insurgents, they wer< stopped by the fire from the houses. The in surgents, too, were running short of cartridges but in the afternoon they succeeded in posses? sing themselves of the wall and sea gate, the centre of their enema's line, thus dividing the forces opposed to them into two, gaining pos? session of the mole aud relieving the town? house from the cannonade to whioh it had been hitherto exposed. That evening the fire diminished, and next morning the flag for a parley was hoisted at the customhouse. I A truce was then agreed apon to bury the dead, during whioh, also, those so inclined, were to be allowed to leave the city, a permis? sion afterwards limited by the insurgents to women, children aud old people, and of whioh it is said, some twenty thousand people availed themselves. In the meanwhile, too, the con? suls who, till then, with some other foreign? ers, had been kept in the city as a safeguard against bombardment, made strenuous efforts to arrange matters and save the place from further bloodshed. The government willingly continued the suspens.on of hostilities from day to day, thinking it prudent to remain passive anti! the preparations of General do Bodas were completed. Thus it was that tho truce lasted four days, until Cabellero de Bodas, being quite ready to assault the place with an overwhelming force by lund and sea, sent into the city on Saturday, tue 12th, a proclamation, stating the means at his disposal, but at the same time promising personal safety to the insurgents should they lay down their arms within a limited time m the places he appointed; if they refused, it would not be his fault if it became necessary that he should carry oat the disagreeable duly imposed on him. Tue result was a deputation from the insurgents accompanied by the Uni? ted Stales consul, accepting the terms. Tue following day tho army om er ed, and on Mon? day the people bogan to return to their homes. Thar, evening tu?? W>?.J?ft Ha?? A**"U:::? p.t dented a very animated scene. The army uad pat on a different appearance from wast it hud a week before; four bands of muslo wore p Hy? ing in succession at the four cn nor s of tho square-a strange contrast with the great gap lott by a bombshell ut the side of oue of tau houses there. One of the old placards, ' Viva la Bepublioa 1 Ena do Muerte al Ladr?n 1" (''Long live tue ipublicl Deatu to Thieves I") still nung un? observed in a baoK street; bat barricades were fast being pulled down, the brou o a glass and old iron were being swept away in the town? house, while shot m irks were being plastered up by numerous workmen. It may bo asks J: What is the aspect of the population of those who fought on the roof-tops and behind barri? cades-sad and gloomy ? Certainly not 1 ihe light in winch they see it all is this: The troops wished to disarm men who had a right to carry arms; they fought; in every encounter they beat tho troops; tbey yielded to tho force of circumstance*; the rest of Spain did not rise, bat still they are, in their own estimation, victors,. There is a very dark side of the affair-tba eighty or ono ha dred Gardianians (three of them women) and about four hundred soldiers that lt tom* harried* to the burial -Hold. JttautcH.

November 14 _-_8mos WA LIT ILE BILIOUS."-HOW OFTEN this is the response to the inquiry after a friend's healthi as if to be bilious was a trifling matter, hard? ly worth thinking about. Bot let it be remembered that, as "tall oaks from littlo acorns grow," so formidable diseases aria a from being " a little bilious." Severe bilious attacks are more common in spring, summer and autumn than in winter, but the seri? ous disorders of the liver which so often ooo ir at those seasons, might be traced, in hundreds of In? stances, to winter indulgences and their neglected consequences. More highly seasoned food is eaten, more fiery drinks imbibed, in cold than la warm weather, and .hus the biliousness is produced which, ander a warmer temperature, culminates in remit? tent and intermittent fevers. The very b st medicine for persons who are either a LITTLE or a GOOP ?EAL bilious, is HOLTET TEU'-. ra OM Al! H BUTER*. No blue pill or calo melt.- required rn suoh cases. Those powerful mineral medicined cut two wsya, iike a double e. ged sword. They act, lt is true, upon the liver, bat react most deleteriously on other parts of the system. 'i'b>y "stick" there, and cannot he got rid of. The Bitters couta'n vegetable agents of an anti? bilious tendency, that produce a speciflo and most cental effect upon the biliary organ without entail? ing any evil consequences whatever They are altogether wholesome, and act favorably and simul? taneously cpo.i the stomach, the liver, tho bowels, tie nervous system, and the brain.
