Take a siall handful of this mixture and drop it into each hill, dust it over wvith the soil, f'romu one half to an inchi in depth, then drop your seed and cover its usual, and if your ground is able to perfect the crop in the latter part of the season. you will find i rich reward in the day of harvesf. saved, from eighteen liens, alout tune bushels the past year. and heund it superior to halft a shovelful of* hog imanure to catch hill.

The common eomplaint of too much legislation is certaiuly not applicable to this State, and our legislators de serve all praise for the desp'atch jtli which thy.have, hn a sonf twen ty-two days, transacted business,'which to-uninitiated eyes seemed to have de minded the attention of months. Our own delegates have well done their part. To Col. Asmnonn, as Chairman of the Con.mittee on Claims, we see a well merited conplinent in the Charleston Standard," he is emiphati oally the working man of the Douse. Our old friend too Capt. GiaEEN has not been idle, but lias shown himself a skillful debater,-his speeches onl the Electoral question, and in support of Col. AsiuMonE's motion, to increase the appropriation for the Free School find from *37,200 to *74,400, (which was passed,) coinmanaded strict attention. A niong the bills carried throngh was one amenii(ling the charter of the WN'il niigton and Manchester Iail Road Company so as to allow it to connect with the Columbia branch of the South Carolina Road, which the delapidated condition of the Camden branch, as evinced by the late accidents on that Road has rendered extreielv derir ous. Also a bill re-chartering the Bank of the State, and granting char ters to eight new tanks, anmng which is the Bank of Smter with a capital of *300,000; we believe there is searcely two opinions in our commlunutijtf irf re gard to the necessity of having such an iistitution in our inidst, there is capital -ftbdiA in our District to es. tablish many such Banks. aiid we hope it will not now be withheld. The iimportant mteasure of re-district. hig the State, Occupied some time, and has resulted in the annexation of Ches I ter to our Congressional District, which, as fhr as we can learn, is generally ae ept)able.
