To Dry Fruit.
We find the following recipe in the newipa
para for drying fruit, and we doubt not it ia a
method worth, trying. Try it :
" The weather should he dry and warm and
the fruit perfectly ripe ; alike it thin ?md spread
on boards, or rnnta made of eoarse white oak
split*. If apread carefully, each piece aepe
rately, it will he dry enough U pat in becketi
or bags in the evening; bet It will be neeea
aary to put them out in the aun ocoaafonally
' to prevent moulding, or woraa getting in.?
t"tone fruita will take longer to dry. It ia al
WMyW best to peel the fruit at night, ao aa t
pat it oat early in. the morning. A good' ham
can peel a buahelj at night with eaae. Frui
dried in this way b of wl%ftt delicate color.It
should never be allowed to remain out li
the dew, aa that makes it very dark and injnrc

present. The aroa of the Bar was covered so
as to form a platform, which wns occupied by

The Baptist State Convention.
This body met at Anderson, on Friday last,
and adjourned on Tuesday, about IS. The attendance
of delegates was respectable in nam.
hers, and embraced many of the best ministers
of the denomination. The Rev. b. T. Wink,
lbr, was elocted President. Rev. J. 0. B.
, Daroaw, D. D., Vico-Prcsident, B. Marly,
Jr., Secretary, and C. II. Juneoa, Treasurer.
The business of the'Convention was important
and interesting. The various sermons
! were worthy of special notice, but having re1
turned too late to find space in ovr columns
for an extended account, we necessarily omit
it, at least for this week.
, The citizens of Anderson evinced toward

The subject aaiMUMad, til " Tbo Flora of
tbo Cool Period." Tbo beaoty and I r. toll Igenee
of o*r Town woro welt repraaooted, and
tbo largo and brilliant audieooo woro expeettng,
no doubt, to boor tbo Lecturer deeooot mpon
tbo vaot coal-fields, and tbo inexhaoatlblo
mineral wealth of oar " groat oooatry." Tbo
Prolbaaor, however, waa on a different traok.
Coal, waa waa not hta autyeot bet tbo Ancient
Mont. The Lecturer began by showing tbe
dependence of geology, the latest of the pbys*
leal sciences, upon her older sisters, mechanics,
chemistry, botany and ioology, and as
the study of these subjects forms a neeeesary
preparation for the study of geology, so historically
they mart hare been carried to a
high degree of developement, before the
science of geology bees me possible. This
truth was illustrated by the dependence of astronomy
upon mathematics and terrestrial
physics.
The Lecturer proceeded to giro an outline
of Systematic and Structural Botany. The
vegetable kingdom was divided into two groat
olasses?Phanerogams or Plowering Plants,
and Cryptogams or Ploworioss Plants. Tbe
Flowering Plants were again divided into two
subolaeses?Dicotyledonous, (having two toed
leaves,) and Monoootyledonous, (having one
seed leaf.) The former were stated to bo outside
growers, Kxogeas, with reticulated
leaves; tbe latter, Kndogcns, or inside growers,
with parallel veined leaves. The Cryptogams
were in like manner subdivided, and
all the various structures and growths illustrated
by large and beautiful diagrams oh
canvass. The various tissues (cellular, vascular
and fibrous,) were described, and the
manner of growth and developewient of the
plant explained, and the way in which the
entire structure of the plspta of the ancient
flora determined fUom any of Its parts.
The Flora of the Coal Period was stated to
consist of endogenous and oryptogamous
vlant*, very unlike any living species, yet belonging
to the same g.-eat classes and subclasses.
Beautiful diagrams wera exhibited
of the diohotomons lepidodroudroo, the spotted
slgillarla, the gigantic tree fern, the low spreading
eycan, the reed-like calamitos, Ac., Ac. The
rank which these various orders of plants bold
In tbo scale of developemont was also pointed
out. This portion of the lecture, whloh was
introductory to what followed, abounded in
technicalities, and was, perhaps, a little
wearisome to those unacquainted with the
subject. Wo were, however, amply repaid,
l>y wbat followed In the skillful and truly
scientific unfolding of the great laws of devo'opinent,
in the ancient flora and fauna Oj
the earth. As no notes were taken, We can.
not give even a summary of those lews, and
the arguments by which they were illue
trnted iod enforced.
The process of " defferentiation " of or*
gtni in th? annual coonomy, a* we proceeded
from the low-? to the higher order* ; show,
ing how " by a division of labor " among
the eeveral organs, each beeotnea special
ixed and adapted to execute Its own specific
functions, was explained In a manner at
once lucid, and very interesting. Tbe
tettimony of geology was shown to be alto*
gether opposed to the Lamarkian hypothesis
of successive developemcnt. This wa,
happily illustrated from sociology. The
eeiliest form of society ia a homogeneous
aggregation of individuals, all having like
powers and like fune'.iona. Every man is
warrior, huutsman, fisherman, tool-maker,
builder, weaver, tailor, tanner, shoe-maker,
Ac. Very early, however, the prooess of
evolution and defferentiation begina. Some
one mnkea a better tool than has been be*
fore used, and all desire to reap tha benefit
of hia skill. They are ready to exchange
skint or mats, qr other article for this superior
implement, Thus a diffeiontiation
of functions, a division of labor, begins*
and each step In the evolution and devel'
opment of the social organism glvea rise to
a further differentiation, and each indivld
ual becomes an essential part of the body
politic ; so the lowest order of animals Is
%n aggregation of homogeneous individuals,
each part having an independent life, and
thn^iifferent functions of digestion, respiration,
Ac., are performed l>y a single organ.
Aa we ascend in the eoale. the different
functions are all performed by different organs.
The testimony of geology wo* shown to
he altogether opposed to the Lemerkien
hypothesis of development end conclusively
to establish the law, that all the minor eye
tenia of life are ha monioua parte of one all

there are connecting inks between the different

lecturer referred to the android fiabce at
connecting lhike between fiaheaand reptiles,
combining in their structure, the character!
of froga, crocodiles, Itcarde and fishes. Ib
also described a fossil bird, of recent disco#

The Columbia Convention.
The mixed Convention In Columbia, re
cently held, have put forth their resolutions*
which we publish. If construed favorably,
they are not so bad as they might be ex peoted
; If construed as they are sosoeptlble,
they are very bad Indeed. But whilst they
eao fairly bear a construction consistent
with any justloe to the people of the State,
it is best, we imagine, to place that construction
upon them, the more especially to
eneoursge the better portloa of " the party '
to do what Is just and honorable.
1. That in order to make tha labor of all our
loyal fellow-cliliens more effectual for carrying
out the provisions of Congress for the restoration
of law and order in our State, as well
ss for the peace and prosperity of our ontire
country> we, the people ot South Carolina, do
form oarselves into a political organisation, to
be knowti as the Union Republican party of
South Carolina.
J. that as republican institutions cannot be
prcserred, unless intelligence bo generally difmscd
among all classes, we will favor a unls
fori* system of free schools and colleges whlob
shaV be open to all.
& That we will favor a liberal system of
public improvements, such as railroads, canals
and other Works, and also saeh a system of
awiriling contracts for^he same as will give all
our fellow-cititens an equal and iair ehanee to
shire in them.
4. That'as large land monopolies tend only to
mike the rieh richer and the poor poorer, and
an ruinous to the agricultural, commercial
a?i social interests of tho State, tho Legislature
should offer every practicable inducement
for the division and sale of unoccupied lands
oaong tho poorerclasses, and or an encouragement
to immigrants to settle in our Stato.
5. That the interests of tho State demand a
reunion of the entire code of laws and the reorganisation
of tho courts.
I. That it is just aod proper that taxes
sheald be ad valorem, and proportioned to the
pnperty of tho eitixens.
'. That the ballot being the surest safeguard
oftbe rights of the eitlsen, all ekecutlvo and
legislative officers of the State should be
beted by tbe people ; therefor*,
Re??lred, That, in our opinion, a purely rcpbiicsn
government is maintained only by
stkinj our rulers responsible directly to the
pople by frequont elections?not by tbe Legllaturc,
but by tbe people themselves ; therefore,
HetolveH, That the delegates we shall send
h the Constitutional Convention about to be
tiled by the Commanding General, be Instruot?
to so frame our new Constitution that the
Governor and Couneil, Senators and Hepresmtatlves
of tbe State Legislature, and all
abordinate offleers except those of the Jndlolry
Department, be ohosen by tbe people, to
lold tbelr respective offices, not fbr two years,
I iut for one year. And that in tbe election ot
President and Vice President of tbe United
itades, chosen every fodr years, the Wrrtor*, as
hey are now in every other State of the Union,
than be ohosen by the people directly, and not
!>y the members of the Legislature.
, 8. That the poor and destitute, those aged
and infirm people, houseless and homeless,
and past labor, who hate none to ears for
them, should be provided for at tbe expense of
tbe State; and thstt, in the reconstruction of
our Government, we will see to it that they are
; not neglected and forgotten.
9. That the unhappy policy pursued by Andrew
Johnson is) in it* effects upon tbe loyal
, pooplo of the South, unjust, oppressive ^aud intolerable
, and acoordingly however ardently
we desire to see our State onoe more restored
to its proper position in the Union, we would
deplore restoration on any other conditions
than those prescribed by the fortieth Congress,
' to which we give our cordial and entire sanction,
believing the principles enunciated by the
1 Republican party, through that Cong ices, to
he jnst and wise.
I 10. Thet the adverse discrimination toward
| the agritultnral laborers of the Southern
i States, as manifested by tbe enonnons tax on
eotten, Is anjnst and oppressive, end should be
abrogated at the earliest practicable moment.
11. That we sincerely exult in the fact that,
as a nation, we are now absolutely e nation of
immen, ?na tnat, irnn tne HI. ijtvitaM to
the Rio Grande, and from the Atlnntio to the
Peeiflo, the ran no longer shines upon the
brow of e stare.
13. That a wise care for tbe pnblie safety
sometimes renders it necessary that those who
hare sought resolutely to orerthow a Govern*
ment should not hastily be restored to tbe
prieilegea of whieb they hare deprived themselves
by their ertsoe of treason?certainly
not until they bare shown evidence of ihveero
repentance, and a dispositteo m energetically
to rapport as they bare In times past sought
to destroy ths Union ; and that wo consider
willingness on ths part of these men to elerato
to power the men who preserved unswerving
adherence to tha Government during tba war,
as ths best test of sincerity in professions for
tbe future.
13. That we will not eapport My candidate
for office who will not openly endorse the principles
adopted by the Union Republican par*
tv; and that we pledge oorselvee to stand by
the regular nomination ol the party, without
any reservation whatever.

lion point* to ao increased number during
the next session. It Is the constant otfort,
of not only its efficient and high-toned
President, Pro* 0. H. Judson, bat of all who i
are entrusted with its management, to make
it a College seoond to none.
" To those seeking an education, I would
saj that aeareely any plaee in the South,
eertainly none in the State, has so much to
recommend it as Greenville Having no
yankee garrison, but few insolent freedmen,
a salubrious climate, delightfhl water, beautiful
mountain eoenery, the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, the Fnnoan University,
the Female College and the best
Sunday School in the country, it eannot be
excelled. It may be urged that the schools
are denominational j granted. But while
they are, they are far from being sectarian ;
to much bo that parents and guardians, of
all denominations, well acquainted with
the Institutions feel perfectly safe In en.
trusting their soon, daughters and wards to
the training of such men as are Prof. James
C. Furnian, D. D., and Profc C. H. Judson,
trb e commencement exercises of the University
take place the 1st proximo. It is
expected to supply, in part, theplacc of the
lamented I'ror. Eidwards, by the appointment
of J>r. Fabcr, a native of Charleston, J
to the chair of Anuieot Language# and Literature.
Dr. Faber boa the reputation of a V
very extensive acquaintance with languages?ancient
and modern?and ia said
to possess in a high degree the enthusiasm
which ia so important to the linguist,
who would infuse his own spirit into the
minds of his pupils. His return from Germany
ia early looked for. ?
What Will nn the firsiscrr.?The New
York llerald, of Friday, believes that negro
Congressmen will be elected from the Soutb,
and says:
We are called, tben, to inquire what will
be the moral effect in the political world of
thia startlihg innovation npoo the old order
of tiling* ? We may be safe that negro
equality proclaiming itself through negro
voices from both houaea of Congress, will
make a profound impression upon the public
mind throughout the North. We apprehend
that the reauk will be a general reao
lion agaimt the Republioan party in the
Northern States; for we know that there is
a atronger wall of white prejudice against
the negro in the North than exists in the
South. This prejudiea elected Buchanan, in
1866, and would have elected Douglaa or
Breokinridge, 111 1860, had the Charleston
Convention consented to nnite upon either.
We may expect, then, when the blacks as
same the polities! balance of power of ten
reconstructed Southern State*, and eend up
their black repreeeutatlvee to Congress, tbat
there will be 'a revolutionary reaction
against tbam among ths whites of the North(
which will opaet the Republican party.?
This may b# ths raat?obj#et of thoss leading
Southern white politialaoe who are urging
their people to the expert meat of allowing
the redieala and the blacks all the rope
they may desire In this business of Southern
reconstruction. Let as push this thing of
negro equality, say theeo Southern leaders,
into Congress, aod than the laboring whita
masses of lha North against this Southern
negro polities! balance of power will take
the alarm, and a Northern reaction of the
whites against the blaoks will be the inevitable
result; and thus ths Rspubltcsn negroparty
will be destroyed by itaewn weapons.

A white Radleal waa electioneering with

was very strange thai the Radieals were so anxlone
to get the votes of the negroes, bet never
