.Agricultural Societies.
Of the benefit anil importance of associated
effort in viniculture, the Cheraw (S. C.)
Gazette thus discourses : "
Jieceutly, we very briefly-called the attention
of our planter friends to the importance
of organizations to promote the success of agriculture
among them. Aud in view of the
importance of the subject we now take the
tit :? T??
HUenjr w reiermig iv ji> n^?iu. juiprriruut;
t very where M?ost conclusively demonstrates the
value of such organizations. B-ven in old
England, where the lights ??f a thousand year's
ex|>erienue, are at the command of the pl anter,
Agricultural Associations are still the order of
the day?are still the cherished means of diffusing
knowledge among their members. We
have not yet arrived ntper/ectvHi in any of the
Arts or Sciences, nor until we do so, can we
Safely dispense with the practical vaults of (he
experience of our fellow laborers. Precept
without example, is like fait a without work*?
It is dead" and valueless.
" Suppose that'A.,,(and our readers ran at
a moment's warning point to'many'such,') enters
upon bis profession (planting) with moderate
means, arid in the course of his life, by
industry, economy and untiring perseverance
accumulates * reasonable fortune. Now, isolated
as most, of our planters are, we' would
likd to know what use he has been to his neighbors
and to the State, save in the amount of
taics he has contributed to, the support of the
government; Every beneficial result of his
experience is locked np in his bosom and will,
descend Into the.same grave with his body.?
And this is owing to no particular fault of his;
hat it is the natural result of isolation. Can
oor planters he desirobs of winning such an
inglorioOS distinction f We know they-ard riot.
But if they "were animated by no higher motive,
by no nobler desire, than the mere accunnlstion
of'wealth, then the very best means
(n nrainntK th*t nhieefc. would be ttf nroflt bv
? r J-^7. - r ?- *
the experience and example of others, which
are mostreasily affaiiiable through Agricultu
rai Associations. These Associations afford
the means of comparing the actual results-of
the experience of their members, attainable in
no other way." . . I
Bean Haul* for Sheep.?Beans, it" is
generally well known* are among the best fod
der that can be fed.to sheep. They are renaarkably
hearty, and exert a very strengthen
iog and invigorating effect. Weak animal*, by.
being fed on beans, are in a short time restored
to health; and the .same resuit i* produced by I
feeding on the pods and haulm of the b.-an.?
In some sections, beans are sown broadcast on
richly prepared soil, and pub^J or harvested
while green as a winter feed for these animals.
On strong, rich soils; the production of haulm
is great, but (he crop rarely matures its grain.
When the plants have put forth their foliage
and the pods begin to rill they are pulled and
stacked. This operation I perform by setting
two strong stakes in the soil one loot apart,
and securing them by a wythe, one foot from
the surface of the ground. J-then fill in with
the vines, placing the tops outward-, and brings
ing the tops of the stakes together, secure them
firmly with a band or rope. In this way. they
Are suffered to remain till cured. No fisdde'r
can be cheaper or better use than this.

Cost of War. I
That war?butchering inon by wholesale,
; sending the agony ot sorrow into thousands of 1
households, drawing men Troui the pursuits of 1
peace, inflicting an enormous increase oftaJtution,
and inrtetrnpting the pursuits of trade? 1
that such a game is a most expensive one to
play is evident. England is counting its cost.

Mr. Bright, has figured up the year's- c?W'of 1
the present struggle. Take-ilie Tmrtlvr'of crop*. 1
The harvest-of 1853 was the most deficient of" (
any since 1817, and then wheal 72<2d. a ^
quarter was higher than it had bfe.-n ifinrir 1
1819; but the harvest of 1854 was the most !
productive ever known; "filling every barn,
every storehouse,'' and yet wheat is 73s 8d-.f '
or Is. 6d. higher than the highest before'known" 1
since 1819! He goes on and calculates that
the British are paying one hundred and fifty I
millions of dollars more for food on account
of the war, while the gorerment are spending
one hundred millions of dollars extra oa the
same account | and what is there obtained in 1
return t He is not. sanguine of anything
appearing on the othei side of the ledger. He
goes on to show how six millions of quarter*
of corn at e kept out of the country ; and after
stating that three millions of laborers in Yorkall
ire and Lancashire imxt have Cheap food,
ho uses this remakable language:
"From whatever cause it happens, if yoii
have the supplies of food in the country for
any longer period at 78s. jit'r quarter, it is not
in changes of cabinets and prime minister; it is
not in dreams of glory in foreign, wars; it is '
not in any contrivance of human statesman- |
ship or human imposture, tliat the population
can be prevented from sinking deeper and 1
deeper into suffering,-and if into suffering, then '
into discontent, and if into discontent, then at
length into insubordination. (Cheers.) My ,
solemn belief is that if these six million quarters
of corn are to be, by the effects of our 'foreign
policy, kept out of litis country, before two
years are over, yon will shoot your own fellow
citizens in your own streets1
The Loudon Times devotes a column to this
remarkable speech, but does not deny its ,
positions, although it regards them extrnva- 1
gant. It slates that a large proportion of the I
six millions of quarters of corn M has been <
shut up by our blockade of the Danube, a
mere folly of war, done in the exuberance of
maritime power, and all the more absurd as
we have never effectually stopfied the trade
of'Odessa and the Sea of AzofT. This blockade
has been now withdrawn, and we trust-.tnat |
Mr. Bright will shor|.|> be enabled to reduce
by a good many millions, his estimate of the
annual cost of w ar. (

4"A comparison has heen made of the nuin- (
ber of vessels which passed the Sound in 1853 (
and 1854, conveying to the Baltic the produc
tions of the industry of the western nations, |
for carrying to them the articles furnished byRussia.
In the course oflast year there was J
a Tallin off of 5000 vessels; about 5(1 per cent |
in the English and nearly 90 per cent, in the (
Russian. 'The. vessels of the other slates have
also suffered a proportionate diminution. Prussia
has suff. red slightly; Sweden forum the on j
Iv execution iler trade has increased, and
1 -" * - ? I
it is supposed that this consideiaiion m?y have ;
contributed to maintain Sweden in he: neutral (
ity. This falling off of 5000 vessels gives an ,
idea of what Russian commerce has suffered
by the block de of the Baltic ports.
Here is another estimate:
The total of vessels entered at Russian ports ,
in 1852 was 8,615, of air aggregate burden
of j,570,654 tons, more than.'half of which
were to the ports in the Black Sea and the
S? a of Azoff. -The total clearances were 8,407
vessels of 1,520 160 tons. Of this trade full) (
a fourth was carried <>n in British ships, 'Turk- .
ish, Greek, Dutch, Swedish Sardinian, Au>
trian, Prussian, and Danish coining next in |
order. The mini important of any single point (
is Odessa, where the arrivals in 1853 amount- j
ed to 589.178 tons, while the value of the ,
cargoes shipped and wliic.liconsisted principal j
ly of grain wa- ,?5,627,500, ubout la# per s
cent above their amount in 1852 ,

tolitical sign, to tell the; world thai tfie owner
?p>ws nothing. And'some are used instead of
klawyer.s green bag as a repository for letters
uid. papers. But it appears that a new and
merely different use is now found for hats;'
mil .we really hope that they will be used actordingly.
. Churches are to reap the benefit of,
,hem not indeed by having them carried round
jy the deacwns to collect the .pennies at a
^attribution for the minister ?c the poor but
>r a much more important porpose. A church
pis recently been built in Davenport Iowa and
he following notice was appended to the adrertisement
of the edifice:?"The chewers of ;
obacco are earnestly requested to avoid the
ise of the aisle in the church or else spit in
heir hats?"
That is an idea worthy of a true blue Yan.
cee and we dare say that the originator hailed
rotn away down east," though lie is now em- }
tloying his genius in elevating the manners
tnd customs of the pioneers of the west. We
ike this hat arrangement and would suggest
in additional improvement which would be
iiiit'ed to other places as well as churches?viz
;very person, who uses tobacco in any way,
limit have nis liaf, tied on to his person in front
10 that-.he can spit in it at all times and there>y
avoid the present practice of defiling floors
:ai pets furuitnre ladies &c. Such an arrange- .
nent would be found of the greatest importance
n the way ofcleaness, comfort, and economy.
He Has Enemies.
We never hear the remark made of n man "
'That' he has a or'eat many enemies,', without.
feeliog desirous of his acquai ntance. We are
aire to. find liim, in many respects,a sterling
diaracter. A man \v!?o plods along, in the
lame track of his forefathers?who never broke
iway from the traces of expediency and error
tnd who thinks nnd writes with the same pen
trid from the same models that his grandfather
ised seldom if ever gains an enemy. But he
vho thinks for himself is something ofa genius .
ind has talents of a high order, is sure to find '
memies at every corner. A truthful paragraph
hat he has written?darling vices that he has
lenounced?or a sense even of his superiority
>ver themselves induce many to say severe
hings of him and bring his good name into
sontempt. When lived the energetic, active,
alented man who had no enemiesf Even
jerfection itself, in the life of Christ, was ridi-uled
spoken against, abused, spit upon cast
way!
A man who has enemies need not relax his
efforts, or presume that he is the worst person
vho ever lived. If he is upright in his denlngs,
kind and benevolent in his disposition,
ibligiug and accommodating to all classes, he
nust have the approbation of a good conscience j
md liis sleep will Ite refreshing.
We would not give a farthing for the nian
vho has no enemies?who panders to the
lepraved appetites of the bad and pretends to ,
lucommon sanctity among the religious?who j
lever denounces sin for fear of a frown, or ex ,
iresses himself as a friend to virtue, lest he be
idiculed. No?give us the faithfdl individual
vho sustains the right at fearful odds and speaks J
>ut boldly, when vice comes in like *. flood. .
Such a man is honored and approved by Hea 1
'en, and we always extend to hiin the right
iand of fellowship.

Jokes Upon Scripture.
It is very common with some persons, says |
he Christian Messenger, to raise a laugh by ,
neans of some ludicrous story connected with ,
itext of Scripture. Sometimes it it a play on ,
lie words, a pun ; at other time9 a blunder; (
tnd not seldom, a downright iinpiety. What- ,
ver b? its form even when ligteit, it is no ve- |
lial offence, leading as it does to profane con- (
empt of God's word. Those who practice |
his, have never been celebrated for genuine
vit. The laughter which they call forth is J
irovoked solely by the unexpected contrast ,
ictween the solemn words of Scripture, and ' \
ome droll idea. There is no real wit in the
ase; andthe dullest persons in society are
nost remarkable for these attempts. j
The evils arising from this practice are great. ,
r than appear at first. It leads, in general,
* n vt i j !
o irreverence tor scripture, rso men wumu (
est with the dying words of his fatlier or his ,
nother; yet the words of God lire qtilte as <
olemn? When we have heard a comic or vul;ar
tale connected with a text of SeriptuVe,
uch is the power of association' that we never
lear the text aft-rwards without thinking of a* ,
est. The effect of this is obvioos. He who
b much engaged in this kind of false wit, will (
:ome at lengtli to have a large portion of holy.
Jcripture spo ted over by his unclean fancy.?
Beware of jesting with sacred things. Shun

on Saturday last in'a very excited manner
said", "If 1 were President of' the United

passed Congress I would send'in a veto ! veto!!

/Mr. Benton is right. Any President who
should set upon his principle-would make hfs
Administration the most popular of .any;we
have had for years. There are numbers of
schemes lor plundering the public treasury.,
which come up regularly every year. Some-,
times they are successful as the appropriations
for mail steamer service. If so the amount
asked is doubled next year, and.so^on in proportion
till public patience, exhusted by such
pitiful beggary such shameful rapacity and 4ba
corruption which it engenders in Legislativehalls
insists that the beggars shall be* kicked
out of Congress without a single penpy. Those
who are not successful are by no means discour-*
aged. They .concentrate . their energies for
operation at the next session wid even make
the refusal of one Congress to grant ijbeir
wishes (a strong presumption that they did not
deserve any such favor,) and additional, argu-.
ment to eufocce a prompt acquiescence in their*
demands at the next succeeding session. With
the constant and persevering assault upon the
public treasury and this increasing disposition
in Congress to listen to the appeals of>interested
lobbeymen it hecon>es the duty of the
Executive to ioterpose its power to prevent
these scandalous impositions of the people. The
lobbeymen have become regular fixtures at the
Capitol batching all kinds of schemes of public
plunder. Whenever one of these schemes
passes throughCongress-the President should
clap the Presidential veto upon it.-r-Philadelpkia

and a member of Parliament, has been figuring
up one year's cost or the war. He calculates
that the British are paying one hundred
and fifty-millions of dollars more for food on
account of the war, while the government are
spending one hundred millions of dollars extra'
on the name account; and what is there obtained
in return? Wheat is selling in England
for 73s. Id. a quarter or Is. 6d. higher, than.'
the highest price ever known since 1819. >.Yet;
the harvest of 1854 in England was the ihost'
productive ever known. He gives it as iris
solemn belief that if the foreign policy keepa
food up so high sit- million quarters of corn,
being kept Out of the country by war, before';
two years are oyer the Government will shoot'
Englishmen in the streets.Hundreds of sailv
