Dear Lee: Since I wrote you Inst my ^ Icat]?jii:irt'*M have Leon emphatically in ^ Ke GclJ, though not exactly like Yankee J?ineral I'ope, when Jackson was chasing iim down the Valley iu Virginia, in the ^ cat of iny saddle. T have had truly many i hotly contested field, thermometer in the ^ bade 08, but as the thrashing v\as all on rj ny side, I lost but little, and made an easy conquest of my chaffy foe. I regret being ^ in.ible to report more favorably of the ?. ; rtm crops in iiic vicinity ot (Jhiles* Cross i >ada. Spring oats are n total falur;, ^all oatr- a fair, average, aud red oats a . o locided success. White w heat has scarcely ^ >aid for the sowing *and harvesting ; red a - o i (i vbeat were remunerative ; barley but eel- ^ ioio eeon and rye never. Lee, 1 feel assured this failure of tbe. jrain Crops throughout our District is in a v ;reat measure attributable to the impcr- y ectly performed duly of our plauteri* ^ Mure than one has told me, he Bowed bis. ^ A'heat on unbroken, corn-hind and plowed ^ I in. Should such a planter anticipate a ^ ro6d crop? as well might" he expect bis ^ nules to keep fat during the plowing sea- rj ion by looking through tha cracks of bis ^ ;orn crib. Others attain have had their T a ;rops of cockle thrashed as well as their Si jrops of \7hcat; while 6tilf othersveeeuned t o pay especial attention {.0 the growing o^ ^ jheat, 6turdy, or sick weed. Now if plan-era will bow amall grain largely mixed ^ with these extraneous substances, ihey <le- ^ serve a harvest of little else than sick weed. Soine planters even insisted that cheat was degenerate wheat, wonder what ' ihey think cuckleis? I would as soon txpect a tobacco plan.! to-grow tip from a sotton seed as to believe cheat and wheat ^ were identical. I cannot prove wheat is imt cheat, but I have planted the cheat or sturdy to itself to attempt to improve it but like produced liko every time, and a better winter pasture cannot be made in ^ ihre conntry than by sowing this hardy grain on good land. That section of our "County" South- ^ west of White Ilall, was once wealthy , and productive. Its present population do not, I foar, appreciate its'wortji. Mauy.of ? tho whites'are restless and uilSettled ; constantly talking of emigrating, and ser*ru to have given over everything into tho hands of the freed men, who are mora Radical in 1 their views, more idle in tlieir habits, and- } more impudent in their manners -thnn in 1 ? f ' 0 l any other portion of the Diatrict I have vUitcd.

The College, as you know, is located 1 a tho upper portion of Abbeville )islrict, South Carolina. Tho sito in c no of beauty and loveliness. With a 8 ky as Mao and an atmosphere as 1 ure as that of Italy, water in great 1 bundance, cold, ])iiro aud limpid as ' ny in the liluc Jl dge, a moro healthy ^ lace cannot be found in all our broad 1 Hid than Duo West. 1 The College building? and literary c alls are good, neat and substantial, 1 nd in a Ktale of exeellont preserva- c ion. Good boarding can bo had in 8 he village and neighborhood at from L cn to twelve dollars per month. The ' loral atmosphere of Duo West is as ' uro and healthy as tbo physical, and 1 11 that reepect cannot ho surpassed 1 y any other portion of our country. 5 .'ho citizens of the placo aro educated c nd refined, large-hearted and bodpila- | * Jo; and the students, cither male or * imule, that aro sont there for the v urpoio of receiving an education, ' re at once brought under tho in flu- 1 nee ol cultivated, refined and polish- ' d minds, that must necessarily havo ' most happy effect in moulding and 1 ji niing their characters, arid fitting t hum fur usefulness in afior life. Although "Secodorism" is tho pre- ' ailing religious sentiment of 3.)uo Vent, it is not entirely so. Two minsters of tho O. S. Presbyterian { /hurch aro residents' of tho place, oth of them members of tho .Board. | f Trustees, and both talco a deep inorost in the affairs of tho College. < Miora are uho members of othor do < ominations living in-tho placo who ro fast friends and patrons of tho ^ restitution.
