tion and wretchedness at your very doors, | produced evidently bv ignorance and ir- j religion? You have the divine'v appoint- J ed means of relief in your power. \ on , know that the Holy Spirit who speaks in j the Bible can disperse the thick darkness which enshrouds the sinful soul, and apply a healing balm to the wounded spirit: ?that there is no debasement so deep as to be bevond the reach of its elevating power?no terrors of guilt which its promises cannot dispel?and no earthly condition too desolate to be cheered by the words of heavenly mercy. You acknowledge that the messages of revelation are j addressed to all classes of men,?divinely adapted to the rich and the poor, the! prosperous and the afflicted,?and that no | community, no family, no individual ex-1 ists on earth, to whom the instructions of I ?the Bible are not appropriate and precious, j If those who claim this priceless boon j from you, were seperated from you by i vast oceans, and could only be relieved by ' * laborious and costly efforts, the spirit of. tfnnU innlmp vnil tfl the IIP- ! II1C HUCjA.1 XMUIU 1UV1MIV J ? - - dertaking. But now, when the destitute ^ are ill the same village or district with , yourselves, and the materials of relief are , cheap and abundant, and when so little j exertion is necessary to bless the poor with I the richest treasure, and the afflicted with heavenly consolation* can you hesitate to j engage actively and immediately in this labour of lore ? We appeal further to the sacred obligations of justice, which rest upon you as disciples of Christ. You recognise the Bible as the Testament of 11iin w ho died for sinners, bequeathing a glorious inheritance upon all men, of all classes and conditions, who believe in His name, and obey His Gospel. This precious document, conveying a treasure compared to ? w hich the wealth of worlds were poor, is in your hands, and you therefore enjoy the opportunity of securing your title,-'.as heirs of Go ! and joint heirs with Christ. But some of your neighbors, who have a right* to have it in their possession, and may have an equal interest with yourselves. possess it not, and are not apprised | of its importance to them, nor of the bless. ings it offers tf> their acceptance. Is itj just to withhold it from them, 01 to suffer; them to remain in ignorance of its provis-. ions? While vou reioice in such an inos * t" * y ?? # j timable bequest, is it not incumbent on'j you to make it known to all. your fellow : heirs; especially as the Testator enjoined upon you the performance of this sacred j duty? What would be thought of a legatee, who should get possession of his ; father's will, and possess himself of all the j property it secured to him, and wholly j neglect to inform his brothers of its con-; tents, though they were entitled to the j same provision with himself, and though he had been specially charged by his dv iug parent, with such communication ? Are not the cases substantially parallel?; Is it not then undeniable, that the members i of every congregation arc solemnly hound, in common justice, to see to it that none j within their bounds, or in reach of their influence, remain destitute of the Word of; Life? Thus the bestowment of the Bible ( upon those who do. not possess it, is not A * 1--J ? ? ? ? limmtr nnct ! id oe rcgnru?;u as an w.i ui j . generosity on the part of the donors, but 1 of positive duty, and sabred obligation. May we not also appeal to these solemn vows, hy which, as professing Christians, j you have hound yourselves to ft self-denying, unhesitating obedience to all the ; commands of the Redeemer? And when ^ Iii requires you to love your enemies, and to bless them that curse you, and to do good to them that hate you, can you doubt that He much more requires you to | communicate to the poor and needy, those blessings which He has provided and placed in your hands for their relief?; Are you not bound to learn of Him, and to follow His example, who went about doing good, preached'the Gospel to the poor, and comforted the afflicted? And will not this lead you to bestow the mess- j ages of His redeeming mercy, upon those ; w ho are perishing in guilt and ignorance, i or crushed dowii by a load bf sorrows ? j Can you fulfil your covenant engagements,; while you neglect this work? And is it not your high privilege, as well ?6 your indispensable duty, to be Actively employed in diffusing the records of those glad tidings, which are designed for all people? We confidently appeal also to that tender compa sion for human peril and suffering, which must characterize all, who have the spirit of Christ. As the disci- j pies of Him who gave His life to rescue j the guilty from perdition, your hearts must deeply feel for the woes and dangers of those around you, who are pining for j want of the bread of Life, or who are j living without God in the world; and it must be your anxious, irrepressible desire, to afford relief. No cause can have stronger claims upon your sympathy and compassion, than the one we now affectionately urge upon your attention. May it not be true that whole families, within a few miles of your house of worship, are suffering that most terrible famine, a destitution of the Word of God ? Can you refuse or delay to supply them, when you have enough and to spare? Do you not know, that there are miserable men, very ^ near you, who are sinking into eternal ^ ^ death, under that direful malady which; kills the soul? And knowing as you do^ an infallible remedy, can you endure the thought of permitting them to perish, in ignorance of tine provided means of cure? j Would that man be accounted humane and benevolent, who should see his neighbor's house on fire, and neglect to arouse the sleeping family? Would he be regarded a good man, who should refuse to j make known an effectual antidote in his possesion, which could stop the ravages' of a deadly pestilence, which was sweeping thousands to the grave? How then can the followers of the compassionate Redeemer he negligent and cold-hearted, in roluejlce to the spiritual dangers and gj| II iBIDIMLjllMUl necessities of their fellow men? How is it possible that a Christian can endure the thought, that one of his neighbors should go to eternity a stranger to the Bible?or that one family should be trained up in ignorance of the Holy Scriptures?or that one desolate widow or friendless orphan should sigh in vain for the possession of that Holy Book, which can assuage the anguish of a broken heart, and open fountains of consolation to those who mourn ? How dwelleth the love of God in him, asks the inspired Apostle, whoseeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion? It is no excuse for the nonperformance of this duty, that most of those, who are destitute of the Bible, are so by their own fault; that they might have obtained it if they had made proper exertions; or that many of them do not value it at all. These circumstances do not diminish, in the slightest degree, the obligation to give the Word of Life to every man. We are bound to ?ive it, not because men are unable to obtain it for themselves, but because they are perishing in destitution; not because they desire it, bnt because they deplorably need it? The Gospel would never have been published to the world, had the apostles waited until men were willing to receive it. It always has been, and always will be, incumbent upon Christians, to offer spiritual blessings toal! around them, and urge their acceptance, however great may be their repugi.ance or opposition.

Be assured, therefore, brethren, that you are directed by the spirit of Christianity to give the Bible to all the destitute, without any reference to their character or disposition.* Finally, we appeal to your love to the Cause of Christ, and your supreme desire that men may believe on Him and l>e saved. Devotbd as you are to the Redeemer's kingdom, and regarding as you must the rescue of immortal souls from the thraldom and pollution of sin, and the grasp of the second death, as of all things most important, you cannot but cherish an ardent anxiety, to see tho grand effect of the Cospel extensively produced, in the instruction of the ignorant, the reformation of the vicious, the consolation of the afflicted, and the quickening of the spiritually dead. You are well aware, thaf the only hope of such blessed results is contained in the Bible, withont the knowledge of who>e essential truths there ' can be no moral renovation. Y'ou do not doubt, that the most profligate and degraded may be made pteiiitent and holy by the grace of Him who came to save (he chief of sinners;?that the most obdurate hearts may be subdued bv a Saviour's love, and the darkest minds enlightened by the Sun of Kighteoueness;?and that the most afflicted and broken.hearted may be comforted by the H'dy Spirit, who speaks to man in the volume or inspired truth. When, therefore, you see around you the children of vice and ignorance, treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath, can you feel that you have done your duty, until you have at lj"' ** 1 ,l-~? iko, Rrwil* nf fJnn. which iff I^dbk I Ut'rru IIITKII lllttl l/wwn V. ? - ? able to make them wise unto salvation? How can you evince that the interests of Religion are barest to your hearts, and that you regard the eternal destinies of your fellow men as pre-eminently important, while you willingly suffer one poor \vanderer, in the way.to death, to pursue his course, unblessed with that message from the living God, which azures him of the glorious provisions of grace for those tint are lost; and freely offers him an interest in that Saviour, who came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Permit us in conclusion, brethren, in vipw of all these considerations, whict) are address-, ed tjo you as professing Christians, affectionately and earnestly to invite you to] engage with uej immediately and actively, in this good work. From the accompanying minutes.of our Convention, you will perceive the various ways in which you can afford efficient aid. We cannot pretend to decide in what manner each individual congregation should engage in promoting the general cause. Much wil; depend upon the location and cir- , ruinstances of each church, as tollie department of labour which will b* most appropriate. But we may be allowed to soggpst >n general,that there are pome leading measures which may be adopted by all. One of these is the appointment of a Committee, in each congregation, to ascertain the number offamiles and reading individuals within its bounds who are without the Bible. Another is, to correspond with the Executive Committee of the Convention at Charleston, apprising them of local circumstances, and FDggesiing to them facilities for their aid and direction. And the third is, to make the necessary ar~ rangemen's to aflbrd proper assistance aud encouragement, to the general agent, who will visit the churches in the proseru'icn of bis .arduous labours. Forgive the length of this letter. Such is the importance of the subject that we could not persuade ourselves to study greater brevity. We conclude, wishing you grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. For the Farmers' Gazette. Lucerne Again.-Ohchard Grass. Mr. Editor4?With your permission I will indite a short chapter on Lucerne, and add my testimony to yours and your correspondent's in its favor. In February J 1840, I sowed a small parcel of seed in drills 2 feet apart, on sandy land that was planted in Cotton the year before. From the appearance of the stalks, I should say its probable yield was at the rate of 600 wt. of cotton to the acre. I put the [ seed in bountifully, and they come up well, but grew so slowly that I supposed they were entirely too thick to thrive. In the course of the season however, I saw various recommendations in favor of sowing seed bountifully, which caused me to cast about for some other reason for the sickly appearance of my Lucerne. Hav. ing seen as I thought that I did, sandy soils would answer, if sufficiently man. urcd, I supposed my disappointment was mmmmmmfv \ m w ? not so much the result of a superabun dance of silex as of the absence of man ure. Accordingly in December or Jan nary last, I spread a moderate coat o cotton seed between the drills, and duj up the ground well with a grubbing hoe Its average height is now (April 30th two and a half feet, and the space betweei the rows where the stand was not injured entirelyoccupied. An acre of such gras< would yield an incredible amount of pro vender, besides being a beautiful appen dage to the homestead of the farmer. Le farmers take the pains in preparing t patch for Lucerne, that they generally take for Turnips, not as a substitute, bu in addition to Turnips, and old Butterfly's lowing would soon have less of sadness ir its sound, and Roshuinte would soonstrik< a trot, and show that his name ought t( be changed. Orchard Grass. An experiment wai also made with this grass at the tim< above refered to, and like the Lucerne its appearance during the last summer waj very unpromising, hut it is now flourish ing beautifully, and is from 12 to 14 in cheshigh. I And that my horses eat i voracously, and give it a decided prefer ence over Lucerne. CORN STALKS. For the Farmers' Gazette HOGS. Mr. Editor :?There ha9 been mucl said in various parts of the country, upoi the subject of hogs, the different breeds and the various modes of managing them but in our state theie have been very fev communications seen in the agricultra works upon the sbbject. What can bi the reason ? Has the raising of hogs beei carried to such perfection as to reduce i to a science ? Is there sufficient porl raised to supply our common wants am demands ??or are the planters all asleej to their own interest ? The fact is, ou planters do not raise pork sufficient fo their own consumption, much less to sup ply the small demands of our inland mar kets ; consequently thousands of dollar nre carried out of our state, annually, j large portion of it silver taken from th vaults of our banks, not only for pork, bu for horses and mules; and still the scar city of money is the common complaint In my opinion this error might be ver easily corrected if we would all engag heartily in the business. The plan that would suggest would be for each farmc to plant less cotton and increase thegrai ? 1 u ? kamrr n i<? mil cl V fin crop ; which giaiu u&uig juuivmhw.^ ?... systematically consumed upon our form in raising such domestic animals, woul ultimately result in increasing the valu of our lands and thef quantity of ou cotton crops. In my opinion in the slave holdin states any other animal, with the excef tionofthe horse, can be dispensed wit! in preference to the hog; the reason is the it affords for our negroes a more suitable more substantial and a cheaper food tha any other animal, and supplies our table with a delicious ham short of which 01 southern epicures wonld not be satisfiec The hog, then, being so- valuable, w should study closely and experiment pai ticularlv, to find out the m08* economic? nl;,n af fr>ftilin(T and what snecies of ho ?0 will remunerate us best for our attentior That there is often a great diffei ence in the value of hogs of the sam weight is, or ought to be, known to ever breeder and consumer;?totheconsurm because the flesh of some is tenderer an sweeter than the flesh of others, and b? cause the most valuable parts, such as th ham, side, shoulder and lard in some ai heavier in proportion than in others ;?1 the breeder, because one hog yields greater weight of marketable pork, for th same amount of food than another. . hog of large head, ears and feet has con monly large bones throughout, is a slo( grower, large consumer, and unthrifty. There are various breeds, or forms c hogs,?I consider the name and colon whether white or black, without the fori a perfect matter of moonshine; but admire a sameness in colour, as the bei stock of our country, both cattle and ho^ differ very little in their respective colour and the peculiarity of the colour prov< that they have not been crossed by spi rious animals for several generntions.For the full colour of the spurious bloo would occasionally show itself even aftc being hid for several generations. Th hogjnost commonly fed in this countr (or I might have said starved) is the corr mon pine rooter, called by some th scrub hog, by some the alligator, by oil ers the land pike. They tell for then selves wherever seen; I can compar them to nothing more appropriate than th bench of an old woman's spioning whee it has four legs, so have they. There ar several other species of hogs intersperse through the country, such as the Guine: r 4' c - the deterioration in the value of our hogs T very much; a remedy for which I will point out hereafter. The Thin Rind * has been in considerable repute in some * actions of country but I see by northern a papers that they have gone back to the e Berkshire which I Cbnsider preferable to t any species of hog now known, both the pure blood and for a cross with < the common stock of the country. With them I * can relate no personal experience, or very y little, only as I have per chance seen e them upon other fhrms. There are several I full biooj Berkshires scatter ed through r the country; some of the most valuaole of which are owned bv Col. D. S. Harllee Q I of Cheraw (excuse me Col. for using your name) he bred a pig last fall that weigh8 cd 67ibs. if I mistake not, at a few days d over two months old. I have seen his e several times and pronounce them the ir best pigs I have ever seen. I have seen pigs from a half hlood boar with the best improved stock of the country, the pigs ^ raise I with others of common stock, and * the change wis very perceptible for the ^ letter. I will not give it as my opinion that the Berkshire will grow larger than a some of our native hogs when fed to their n entire satisfaction, but that they will ;g remunerate us better for our attention and yield usmore pork upon a given quantity j of food I have not the least shadow of * doubt. Although I have been so slow to e supply myself, I would advise all planter* r* that raise their own meat to supply themil selves with a boar at least, for I do not I 1 " D?l.? ?TUrt mnpiiu I g constuer k. a jjcthujuuhw.. * 41c ????? j may make silk,- but the Berkshire will make meat. I will now offer some suggestions for ime proving our common stock of hogs. In y the first place, our hogs should be shut !r up?not in close pens ; for close confined ment in our warm climate c luses disease, ?. as I know from experience. A woodland ie pasture is the proper place to confine stock hogs, and "the knife should be promptlcy applied to every foaming pig 0 which we find around our fence. Thus a we could secure whatever blood we might ie wish, and would not be compelled to keep A as is now the case, nearly as many breeding, sows as we need pork hogs, to feed wild cats, foxes and such like varmints. Another advantage of enclosing J our hogs is that we can have our pigs to come when we wish, and only then. r* The common custom of suffering hogs 1 ti to run till two or three years old is ex. I 1 pensive, and should he discontinued. It 3t increases the number on hand two or three rs fold, and the expense in nearly the same ' proportion. When we open a pea or s' pumpkin field in the fall, our hogs are 's ^ niimnrniis nnrl in snrh nnni rendition * that they devour every thing, and scarce. - ly begin to improve. For experiment, I once took seven hogs, two year9 old, from >r the woods and fattened them without the benefit of the under crop, and the cost was #7 per hundred- They ate seven y bustiel* of corn each, and the price of ' corn was a dollar. Now seven bushels e of corn will raise a hog to weigh double 1 i. the amount in one year, if properly man- ] aged. Where there is plenty of uncul>e tivated swamp land for hogs to run in the number is not material; because they require little more corn than enough to ' keep tbem gentle. But when we must e depend chiefly on the corn crib, hogs d ought to be slaughtered at from, eleven i, to seventeen months old. Pig* dropped _ . the China,^the Thin Rined, a few of the . Berkshire, and another hog called th4 . Kentucky hog. We read and hear of f various other names of hogs with which T I am not familiar. They all have their favorites and supporters ; and, in fact, j any of them may be vastly improved in i their form and propensity to take on flesh ? by a judicious course of feeding and 3 breeding particularly our common breeds. I have been endeavoring for some length of time to discard all hogs |1 with great length of legs and shortness of body, and to select those with the 1< shortest legs and the greatest length and r size of body. The Guinea and China t both have a great propensity to take on 3 flesh and are very small eaters, but do , not acquire size ; either crossed with the large bone breed makes a very fine hog. The hog called the Kentucky hog from } being purchased from the drovers from that state, in my opinion backed by experience i is not a desirable hog on account of the 1 1 >L - r 1 !.L ?1_ _ 5 great Size uuu jeiigiii ui legs wun int* disadvantages attending such. The 3 Kentuckians ;breed them not because they are the most economically fed, but because they are better roadsters. In * j their great size and length of legs, they t combine both the property of hog and - horse, inasmuch as they convey their own carcasses to a distant market; they travel very well hut some of our native hogsmako decidedly better racers. But my own experience proves to me that their form may be changed into almost any shape in cousre of time, by 1 a careful selection of breeders. The boar I particularly should lie selected as near as possible of whatsoever form we would i, have ourstccki "I have been fully satisv fied bv mv own observation that one j cross by a boar of any desired breed will go further towards accomplishing the nb. e ject pf securing form or colour, than sev. II cral crosses by a sow. To assign any 1 other reason than facts,- developing thern. k selves to my own observation, would be d diving into mysteries beyond my knowlp edge. . Tn this one irreat cause I attribute / in August and September, aqd In Janua. | ry and February ought to be slaughtered | i in December. And we can secure their i , coming at these seasons by the enclosing system. The pigs might be kept in good 1 condition till harvest, and afterwards til! 1 fall, with a small portion of oats and ! plenty of rye. They are fondest of oats; but oatssoon rot, and rye with grass will keep them for a length of time. It is . uneconomical to suffer hogs ever to be. ^ come poor, or decline in flesh till slaughtered. When I compare my own practice, ' and that of others around rne, with my ' remarks, and similar remarks which I hear , from others, I am reminded of the lan- i guage of the ancient orator: ?*When I < compare, Athenians, the speeches of some amongst us, with their actions, I am at a loss to reconcile what I see with what | I hear."
