It fs al? important that "Our orchard ists should examine very carefully the oondition of their frmtf tree*.. There are very many Insect enemies now preying", upon: various fruit trees that req.uire immediate attention before- a more serious: injury is done- ? We have visited many orchards for the purpnpc ofexamination, andtbiawork can only he well and thoroughly done with the aid of a microscope, ae there are some-species of slugs and lice- that defy the ordinary vision, The destructive insect wer will notice, is the Pear Sfiiff..' This is easily- soon with, the-naked eye, as this slimy creature eats the leaf and leaves ft ptrle arid whito. This slugis a transparent worm, that if left to himself, will soon strip the tree of its foliage. so injuring the tree as to make it ca.it' its fruit. The best remedy lor tins destructive sing is "Ground Gympsum." This is to be thrown over the entire tree by hand, early in the morning. Gympsum thrown upon the tree a few times is death to the slug, as it contains sulphuric acid. What Gympsum drops upon the soil is highly beneficial, ulso, to the soil and roofs of the tree. The next death dealing insect fs the Woolly A phi*, or mealy bug, which is now greatly injuring our apple trees. This is their favorite, and in some orchard's we have visited we found they had entirely killed large trees. This insect is easily seen, clustering at the joints of young branches or the base of the leaf; under the bark tlioy look like specks of white cotton wool, but upou lifting a cluster, the red insect will be seen imbedded in this woolly substance. This most pestiferous creature is hard to manage, and when once in the orchard, nothing but constant and extreme care- can: 3avo the trees. We venture the assertion that There are many orchards now greatly suffering from this insect where the trees cast their fruit/ ind yet the owner docs not drcaui of tjic Jamger. that is so nigh., ... . ; The Woolly Aphis, when found, on the limbff " ttf any extent, vrtlf'TBc fourftl to be rwfwyjrmoffg: t!hejwts of the tree also, and tva haver. taken a apade and .-upo&s djgginrg lown, thrown? up a shovelful of meal or flour;' boring entire masses of itbelow grp_utnd; in web easee U fc-hopeless;* Si^b trees aTe jast, recovery, atid aucfr hrmla arerbost fffrjin irchard for a series of years until tlx? soil is sntirely renovated, - ? - ' i-*' .1 > - ' In t ire early stages of depredation hy this" nsect, the best remedy yet "known, is the 'Whale Oil Soap,", half pound to a pail of rater, dissolve and make a Buds of it, and vith a scrubbing brush, go over" the entire >ody and branches of the tree-; scrubbing everely and picking off by hand every. <?Iubef'of the .'insect when found around the eaves or tender branches. '' .. /. The earth around the tree is to bo examned, thoroughly dug up, and two o'r thrcc jails of this suds given to the: roots. This reatuxent closely followed will cure the . evil f adopted early., _ There i* another serious danger iff our (rchards'that in list be attended Co insfcfntcr, or this danger is not known; the Flax bouse upon the cherry tree. In several oriharde wc see trees fade away and die, and he cause is not fully known. Over-hearing s one eauSe*of great injury, but the 'other svil is the flax louse ; this can only be seen pith a microscope, as the insect hugs the >ark close, and is of the color of the hark, md "only detected by a microscope. With his instrument it will be found by. myriads n number, clinging to the bark like a leachu ucking out its vory vitals; the outside of he insect, snail like, the color of the 'baric, ho underside a lcach, often covering the sntire tree. ' " This evil must be attended to, and the >est remedy will be Whale Oil Soap',' as deicribed for the Woolly Aphis, or potash waer, three to five pounds of potash-te a-barrcl >f water and the use of the scrubbing brush.These three iusects now form a dangerous irray of evils to our orchards, and having sxamined them personally, .we have been bus full to describe, hoping the danger may >e arrested before a serious and irreparable' oss occurs to a wide extent.

China Berries as a ter^iltzton.?The Uawkinsy-ille ;(Ga.,) Dispatch gives us the following': . [;? rli ?. ] j?J "Last year a planter of this county living lear Hawkinsville, made a satisfactory-^x perinient with the common china berry ns a jianure by using it under his corn. .lie ested its* value by comparison with cotton seed, which he sowed alternately. The yield )f the rows planted with the china berry was Sl'teen per cent, greater than that of the cotton seed. The rows could easily 4>o distinguished by a more verdant appearance und vigorous growth. The planter is entirely satisfied with his experiment, and will probably make use of all the china berries upon his place the present season. Another farmer of this county assures us that for garden manure the china berry is excellent. It well-known that the berry contains a large quantity of oil, and that certain kinds of stock are exceedingly fond of it. We give these statements to the public, hoping, if there is any value in the china berry, that it will be made known." ' ;,v Ashes for Potatoes.?From' Maine,: the headquarters of potato growers, comes ii.. : . UH? lUUUYt IHg . "A good farmer in this county, in a recent conversation, spoke of the value ? of leached ashes and plaster to his potato crop. On three acres of potatoes he applied t fifty bushels of leached ashes, mixed" with'five bushels of plaster, and administered at the rate of a handful to the hill. The land was a good, strong, heavy soil, and the results were most beneficial. He regards leached ashes a^Worth twenty-five cents per bushel sis manure." $20 REWARD f WILL BE PAID by the County Commissioners of Kershaw county for the deteotion, with proof to conviot, of the party or parties who broke into the Court Houso on Friday or Saturday night last and took therefrom the Iron Docks for Prisoners.

We confidently appeal to eviry one interested in Southern prosperity to look to their own interests by sustaining thoir own institutions, nnd thereby establish that self-confidence without which there can be no permanent prosperity. Bear in mind that already over $10,000,000 arw' annually sent North for Life Insurance, taking so much from our strength and thereby giving ditional power to our competitors. _ . ; ... ! . s- .1 lad ??*_ Right of party to non-forfeiture in ull its politics.
