mamut WAGES.
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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
