Island No. 19, three men by the name of Lane,
appeared on the bank, and one carno on board
with his rifle. As he started np stairs he was
shot dead by the Darnells, who then ran back
to the cabin deck and shot the two Lanes dead

recipients te belie ve that for five dollars,-or
fifteen if they preferred to send ao much,
they might obtain five hundred dollars in coun?
terfeit greenbacks. He really promised no
snob thing, and thoso who were criminal
enough or silly enough to send the money re?
ceived photographic copies of the notes circu?
lated with the permission of tho governmer-t
and on sale everywhere for ten cents each, the
terms of the promise being exactly fulfilled
with these cheap photographs. ?
E-One of the most anomalous and romantic
incidents connected with the hunt for place in
Washington it, that at the present moment,
looking for an office, are members o t a family
, living just out of St. Louis, nho knew Mr.
Grant several years ago, when he used to haul
wood from the city to tho farmers in the
suburbs. The pica special which they put in
is, that on one notable occasion Mr. Grant car?
ried some fud to them, and that tbe mother of
the household called him in the back kitchen
and cirefully darned a considerably dilapi?
dated overcoat of the thon teamster and now
President. Smco then tho family have met
with reverses, aud hesring ot the "great Amer?
ican gift enterprise," set up sinco March 4,
have sent on several ot their number for an
office for tho husband of tho Ia'ly who sewed
tho historical garment several years ago.
-The telegraph told us something about
the revolt at, the Sing Sing prison. It seems
thal in accordance with the usual custom,
several convicts were taken from their cells at
an early hour to preparo breakfast. With ono
keeper in advanco, the party passed peaceably
through the chapel, but wheu about to descend
tho Btairs. a convict caught tho keeper around
the neck, and the rest or tho party gather ins
around him, push d him down, and each hold?
ing a different portion of his body, a gag was
placed in his mouth. Tho man tried to give
some alarm, crying "Let me go !" but an omi?
nous warning was given him. Asking that his
property might not be taken away, he submit?
ted to tho gag operation. After having accom?
plished their purpose, placing him in their
arms, they carried him down the stairs and
laid him on a molasses box in the
mess room, and left tho room. The
who lo party afterword descended tho stairs,
where they wero reinforced, and the night
keeper, who was in tho room awaiting their ar?
rival, was immediately attacked and gagged.
^ Then with oil haste each of the party, one alter
the another, climbed to the. top of the boiler,
which enable? them to reach a platform on the
upper floor. Proceeding" along the platform,
they forced the door of the dr> inc-room, and a
hole having been prepared the day previous
by ono of the prisoners, with little difficulty
they forced an egress through the slate roof.
After reaching the roof, one of them ran along
it to watch fer the guards, and when the last
man had reached the top, they descended to
the ground on the river Bide. Remaining
around the station for a time, daylight was the
signal to put for ?he woods. They accordingly
separated, three going down the river and two
wending their way towards tho north. In
tho meantime the first keeper had released
himself aud given tho alarm. The night
keeper was found on th; stairs dead, having
been strangled by the gag pieced iu his mouth.
Purs nit was made and the runaways were soon
recaptured and taken to their old quarters.
CHARLESTON".
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1880.
A State Asp-tcultural Society.
As long as each one of our planters and
farmers has no other test than his personal
experienoe by which to determine how
much of the old agricultural system of the
State should be retained and how much
thrown aside, there can be no certainty of
so using free negro labor as to make it at
once profitable to the land owner and ad?
vantageous to the laborer whom he employs.
A careful perusal of standard agricultural
journals will do much to supply the want;
but no magazine can talk to its readers as
one planter in South Carolina would talk to
another, and no mere reading will teach
the farmer as much aa he could learn in a
few hours from men who are working under
conditions similar to his own, who have the
same annoyances and troubles to contend
with, who cultivate the same staples, and
who work with the same kind of labor.
The farmer or planter should be able to
meet the principal farmers and planters in
his distriot several times in the course of a
year. He should meet them, not by acci?
dent, not for a chat at the crossroads; but
to discuss what is doing and what has been
done, so that the brittle twigs of personal
knowledge may be bound np into the strong
bundle of general observation and experi?
enoe. These truths are too evident to re?
quire any .detailed demonstration, and that
they are now recognized is shown by the
interest whioh is being taken in the forma?
tion of farmers' clubs and agricultural so
oieties.
In nearly every one of the upper distriols
old societies are being revived or new ones
formed, and we notioe that in Abbeville an
agricultural society has been permanently
organized. We hope that the movement
will continue until there is such a society
in operation in each distriot, in the low
country as well as in the up-country; and
we may add that we oannot too highly com?
mend the evident determination to keep
these industrial and strictly praotical soci?
eties altogether separate from any political
association. Cotton, corn and rice have no
political likes or dislikes, and the Radioal
boe is as useful in its way as the Demo?
cratic plough.
When the distriot agricultural so cieti* s
are established we shall have made the first
step towards improving our farming and
planting system. But we must not stop
there. We should also have a State soci
:ty, whioh would, we believe, prove to be I
?till more powerful for good than the looal
moieties, beoauee at its annual meeting an
impression would 1/4 given to the practical
experience of the whole State during an
Bntire year. We have nc knowledge yet of
the magnitude of our resources, or of the vast
wealth of our State. New articles of pro?
duce are brought to our attention every
lay. Changes in the treatment of the soil
ind in the working of crops are constantly ,
advised. Suggestions are made that we 1
mould abandon some particular crop and
.ak? another whioh will pay better and be
nore sure. No one of these propositions j
?an be decided or its value known, within 1
i reasonable liz?, exoept through the me?
llum of the A gr ix ult ural Society of the
State. Such a socie y would also encour- 1
iga our farmers to improve the quality of |
:heir produce and the oharacter of their
stock, and, making them familiar with the
nost improved kinds of agricultural imple- :
nents, would teach them how labor might
)e economized and time and money saved. ,
We are not prepared to advise that an
ittempt should he made to form the State
society until the distriot societies are per?
manently organized. To this our first
efforts should be directed, and we trust ibat
the State press, so alive to all sensible and
practical questions, will continue the good
work they have begun, and not abandon it
while there is any district wi' h ,ut its local
lociety. When the district. ? ?oieties are
formed it will not be di?lc?U lin any reas?
onable number of them to issu) a call for
he meeting of a State oonwt 'i ^n for the
Organization of the State club.
In t\e meanwhile, we request thc secre?
cies of all the farmers' clubs or agricultu?
ral societies now in operation to send us the
names of their officers and a copy of their
rules, and we ir >ue the same request in
regard to all other similar societies that
nay hereafter be formed. We wish to give
:he people all the information we can upon
this important subject, and will heartily
:o-operate with our contemporaries in An?
derson,.Abbeville and elsewhere, in press?
ing forward a movement which may be
made to produce the most beneficial and
profitable results.
THE FOLLOWING extract from Anated's
Treatise on Practical Geology, published in
London in 1SG6, explains thc reference
made by us to the value of English phos?
phate lands : "The phophate beds of Cam
"bridge have yielded employmert to a vast
"number of persons and have noquircd ex?
treme importance. Where the deposit is
"thick and the quality good, the land con
"taining the bed has, in some cases, been
"let for as much as ?400 per acre, the les
"see making good the surface after the
"phosphatio nodules are removed."
We understand this to mean that the ?400
per acre is ?he absolute purchase money of
the phosphatic nodules contained in the
acre rented, the land, less the nodules,
being returned to the lessor when the no?
dules have been removed.
Thc Theatre * Fixed Fact*
We are informed that Mr. Chadwick has
positively determined to convert the Adger
Building, of which he is the proprietor,
into a theatre and opera house, after the
style of the French Theatre in New York,
so well known as the scene of the first tri
ULina of Opera Bouffe in America.
If Mr. Chadwick succeeds in making the
necessary agreement with one of his tenants
he will begin work in May, and have the
opera house ready to bo opened in Oetober.
If the expected arrangement cannot be
made, work will be begun in October, and
the new building opened, if possible, in
December or January.
This information is given to us by Mr.
Julius L. Moses, of this city, the agent of J
Mr. Chadwick ; and we are assured that
the building of a commodious and handsome
opera house is so far a fixed fact that the
inaugural performances, under the most
unfavorable circumstances, will lake place
early next year.
IN PRINTING a letter from Mr. J. Abney,
of Edgefield, in relation to the discharge,
on their own recognizanoe, of two oolored
men charged with and tried for murder,
we may be permitted to say that if the in?
nocence of the aocused was so clear and
evident, as it is said by Mr. Abney to have
been, it is at least somewhat strange that,
as stated by himself, only six of the twelve
acute and intelligent jurymen, should have
been in favor of an acquittal. And we may
add that we see no reason to change our
previous opinion, that the disoharge of the
prisoners, in such a way as to give no secu?
rity for their reappearance, was as unwise
as we believe it to be unprecedented.

LIFE ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA.
A PURELY MUTUAL WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE
SOCIETY.
OFFICE OF CHARLESTON DEPARTMENT,
No. 40 BROAD-STREET.
UNPARALLELED SUCCESSl
THI8 ASSOCIATION WAS ORGANIZED ON THE
22d of June last, only nine months ago, and has al?
ready secured an annual revenue from premiums on
existing policies of nearly $500,000 (Five Hun?
dred Thousand Dollars). Its new business for the
month of December was 972,393 38, insuring the
amount of $1,167,000. Its new business for tb?
month of January was $86,524 71, Injuring tho
amount of $1,649.000.
One mouth's buEine-s being greater than that done
by the largest and wealthiest Life Insurance Compa?
nies in thc United Slates during the entire first
year ot their existence.
The Association was first started by the most
wealthy and influential citizens of St. Louis, for
tho purpose of changing the current of LiffllnBur
ance and Life Insurance capital from the J'ist to
the WeU and Sou'h, andas its plan is liberal and
just to every section, State and district, tho wealthy
men of the West and Sou h generally ore 'nsuring
their lives in it, to tho exclusion of other companies.
This is shown bv the fact that the policies issued
during thc months of December and January are of
an nveraugo amount of $7 368 42, drawing an aver?
age annual premium of $418 20.
Tho largest average attained by any other compa?
ny in tho United Stales is about $40C0 to eaoh poli?
cy, .while tho average size of all policies existing in
this country is only about $2500.
These facts speak tor themselves, and show that
the businos i men of the country, who have money
to invest, select tais Association in preference to aU
other institutions.
A Branch or Department is about to be established
here, under the supervision of a Local Board of Di?
rectora, the net asse'8 of which are to be invested in
this commnnity.
