l'OKTRY. A .CONFEDERATE NOTE. The following lines were written on t lost note of a Confederate soldier after Gi Lee's surrender, May 20th, four years af South Carolina joined the Confederacy; Representing nothing on Uod seartn now And naught in the waters below it; As a pledge of a nation that's dead and got Keep it, dear friend and show it. Show it to those who will lend an ear To the tale that this paper can tell. Of Liberty, bom of the patriot's dream, Of a storm-cradled nation that fell. Too poor to possess the precious ore, Too much a stranger to borrow, We issued to day our promise to pay, Hoping to redeem on the morrow. But days flew by, weeks became years, Our coffers were empty still, Coin was so rare our treasury'd quake If a dollar should drop in the till. We knew it had rearcely a value in gold. Yet as gold our soldiers received it, It looked in our eyes a promise to pay, And each patriot 6oldier believed it. But the faith ihat was in us wesstrong inde And our poverty well we discerned, And these little checks represented the p That our suffering veterans earned. But our !??ye thought little of price or pay Or of bills that were overdue ; We knew if it brought us our bread to-di It was the best our country could do. Keep it; it tells all our history over, From the birth of the dreara to its lust, Modest, and born of the angel Hope, Like our hope of success?it passed. S. C. D. Y ^GRICULTI^ THE EXPERIENCE OF ANOTI ER SUCCESSFUL PLANTER. We are again favored says the A derson Intelligencer with tin opportuni of presenting the views and experien of an it telligent and successful plaut to our readers. A Utter before us frc Maj R. A. Griffin, of Ninety Six, Abbeville District, gives his experien in regard to the use of fertilizers, th< mrt/ln nf onnllnntlnn on/1 At knr motfc ut auu viuvi IJJUIVV of interest to the farming coma unit We make the following interesting e tracts: "I always roll my seed in some of tl Phosphates, and often mix with Per vian Guano, (two thirds Phosphate at one-third Peruvian,) and frequent with Peruvian Guano and Plaster, j with good effect. If I could afford do no more, I would always roll as bove. It brings up the plant stroi and vigorous, and facilitates the cul vation, and would pay in this way, the yield was not increased one poun Dr. Blake mixed Peruvian Guauo ai ashes, and rolled his seed in the mor ing sufficient for ail day's planting.When the time 'arrived for it to cor up, he found the forenoon's planting each day, throughout the crop, a go . stand?the evening's planting no stai at all. How do you account for tha Ashes and guano should never be mixt which you already know. "I am now top-dressing my whe with Baugh's Rawbono Phosphate, the rate ot 160 pounds to the acr would mix Plaster if I had it on har mougo 1 don't know that it would of much benefit, unless the grain covi ed the ground, as the Plaster posses; no fertilizing qualities, except throu the blades of plants. It might fix t ammonia in the Phosphates. The la I am now dressing will be sown in c ver, and when it covers the ground v dress with plaster. You might n one-third Peruvian Guano, and tv thirds Phosphate, and say one busl of Plaster mixed with all you apply an acre, with good effect. I have tri it on clover, and its effects were marki ' I applied the Wando, Soluble, I cifie and Baugh's Phosphate to i:urni] five hundred pounds of the three al gether, applied separately, but t worms destroyed them. I then sow three bushels of barley per acre on t lot, which is now very fine, high enou to cut with reap hooks. I see no d ference in the different plats. "I am planting quite largely this ye propose to plant three hundred aci in cotton, and apply Phosphate a Guano to the entire crop. At ray pi: tation. T am tnrninir now onmo Krvffn and uplands with the Brinly and W two horse plows, and they work beau fully. I cannot experiment much the but am trying to have things done neatly and thoroughly as possible. I v only plant about eighty acres in co mostly bottom; have thirty bushels barley and two hundred and twen five bushels of red oats sown. "On this farm, I have seven har hired for wages and five on shares. "With my seven I propose to plant 01 thirty five acres in cotton, to whicl am applying ail my manures, and h. hundred bushels of cotton seed, layi off with two horses. On ten acres, will = apply 250 lbs. Peruvian Guano and 100 lbs. Plaster. When I apply barn-yard lie manure, will use about half the quantity p] j as above, putting it in as I plant, besides rolling the seed. A part of my ^ , rows are four feet and some thrco and a half feet. F; nc' "I have ten acres to which I aw applying forty bushels of cotton seed to R the acre, and running off first with a L: two horse shovel, and following with a It long bull tongue; then open again with S' two horses to what I call a double twis- P tcr, (looks like two twisters welded to- B gcther, a wing on both sides,) which C throws out a wide and deep furrow in Si which the seed afe deposited. I then SI ridge with a long scooter, without wing N In fact I am putting in all my domes- B tic manure in the same way, I will then C. throw two furrows on this with a turn- N ing plow, and follow with a 6cooter.? S. cd, Just before planting throw out the mid- v dies as we term it. I ought to make ^ my fifty bags on the 35 acres. ^ 'IIaving~to apply fertilizers to tne ' entire crop, I have been puzzled how ^j1 ay, to go about it, so as not commence too .j early arid have all applied in good time. I propose the following plan: Lay off all your lands now with two horses and follow with subsoil, and ridge with scooters as above. Then if it approach? es say 2oth of March to 1st of April, scatter your fertilizers along this ridge, Qi = which will be below the surface level, (and if a considerable portion scatters ^ in the open scooter furrows, ft is no i* dssadvantage ) and then bed on this ty with the turning plows. Dou't we conce centrate our manures in too narrow a II ;cr drill ? Where do the long fibrous roots A ,m get nourishment from ? Would it not II In be better to scatter half of these heavy P cc applications'at second or third plow- T. Mr ing? y- MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. s x- C For the Fail Road.
