DesChamps, the president, at 12 o'clock. Mr. Harvey Mitchum was elected secretary pro tem. The three subjects for discussion were: (1) How TO UTuam Pa&s-T. J. . Davis. (2) How TO UTIu CorTO\ SEED J.K Tindal. n m wRr oN Corro ?-D.

Mr. os.Sprott, Sr., Maj. Land gave quite an enter ta'ning reeital of some tests, to which gh pea vines had been subjected, with mostgratifying results. Messrs. J. R Tindal, J B Andrews, and D. J. Pradham joined in, and all testified to the main fact, that it ahould be used as beiag a renovator of the soil; but werm at off or pulled up, while in a gee state.

Tindalthought that the pea vines 'gi dnot ahnaj prove benefiial to FgeSb cottom, but that corn and .sising grass feeders, were always vstly banefitted by this system. Sha ue of cotton seed as a manure washandled quite skillfully by Mr. idato whom the question was as igned for introductory remarks. He - bd und the meal of the seed, when :emd in thepropotion of two to one d of acid-p hate more bene ia than in la g quantities, very Iwegplication often proviag rather stritive to the cotton plant, than a - element. His experience had wenanced him of his utility of .mploying the meal rather compactly, s ing as usual; that thereby haemical combinations necessary, s- eeed to be accelerated and made . d }aspant food. Others followed talks on the same m b which all were edified.

One member samrked that, though it rusted all asmndwherever the heaps of stable uanwere piled in the field the reps zma'med green and growing, ~mnlo -one, h'sbega~pnnn l ae gone." This p1ardto suggest the very a s iaadea that the "rust" was a minaklrn faracanse; and tbedesjy of the crop was rather duen to abhanation of soil or fertili uessyhmntoany other OaainMan by -hinitay'be surouded. Atthie nani of the disaunaion, there pSvale~d a unanimity of sentiment to the effect, that they knew nothing abour what "rust" is.

Land, who had been called to the floor, gave an instructive re .ital ofis geanings from a vst to North.Carnlina, as a member of the Inter-State Association. His report was replete with good sense and hu mer, from first to lastk As represent eIbby him its designs are far-reach guadi carried. to a successful. is see-anm there is ne-reason. why they gannet-the farming interest of the .ountry at large, will be sent forward enitsmissionof goodtoall. Obnoxious lasare to be repealed, and others substituted, beneficial to the agricul turist, carried through by pressure bmsught to bear upon Congress tirough our representatives. The 3Major met persona there,.from whom he derisned a full account of the work. inags of the Mississippi Farmers' Col lege,.alsothe Tennessee and that of the old North State. Whatever might have been his views before going, he cimnes baok~ a no-agrCiultural college. -an In a manner humorous and stik ing, he gave some reasons for op. yosing the measure, that will bear thinking over by his hearere, be fore the "die is cast" Be advocated substantial aid to the free common schools as an act tilat would brings at once, to the poor man's door, what he needs now, and for which he will not have to wait, until the contested and doubtful benefits of the Clemson be. quest come within reach. He brought as a matter of fact, that the Mississip pi college had graduated 28 young men in seven years, with the follow ing results: 26 of them had turned out lawyers; one a tombstone peddler; one a preacher. This fearful array brought Mr. J. E. Tindal to the floor, in reply, who made a telling speech in behalf of the cause. He evidently has the whole subject at his fingers' end and never at a loss, seemingly, to find in his armo ry a weapon of defence. He took the high ground that although all of them should go to the different professions, they would in the end be driven back to the farms. We say amen to the efforts of the farmers, and bid them God-speed on their way. Organization is what they need. The sharp attrition of debate and controversy on these topics will have the effect of elevating them to a more intelligent understanding of this, the most ancient and honorable of al vocations. There is too much good sense, patriotism, and conser vatism in the ranks, to permit the growth of anything detrimental to the cause of a patriot and a lover of his country. They have rights to be protected; and having the power, should throw around them all the safe guards requisite for their pre servation. The Pawley Island Delegates. The delegates elected to represent Clarendon at the Judicial Convention held at Pawley's Island last week re turned home last Saturday night, af ter a hard battle in behalf of our county nominee, Mr. John S. Wilson. The balloting was warm and spirited, and everything passed off pleasantly, but ended in a complete dead-lock, from which it must have been evident that there was nothing to be expect ed, for the convention adjourned to meet again in Kingstree, on the 18th of Sept. There isno room for doubt ing the fact that our delegates have already given their associates from other counties a sample of the back bone that will have to be broken, be fore Mr. Wilson is relegated to the rear. With Georgetown in solid ar ray beside them, the opposition may receive the Pawley Island contest as only a foretaste of what is to come, Events "that cast their shadows before." They are all good and worthy men, but Clarendon and Georgetown say Wilson, first and last, and we think a voice now still and small from some of the others will ere long join in the chorus and say Wilson, too, to the tune of a harmonious nomination. The News and Courier Last Mon day issued a twelve page trade re view of Charleston, and on Tuesday a trade review of Columbia. Charles ton last year did a business amount ing to $76,805,754, an increase of $10,526,213 over the preceding year. Columbia's business this year was $,698,674, more than four times whatit was sight years ago. The popn lation of Columbia now is 1Z765. The News and Courier deserves a well done for the enterprise exhibited in these two reviews. The Charleston Sun is now issuing a weekly, an eight page paper, for one dollar ayear. It is anewsy sheet. The State Convention meets in Columbia, next Thursday, to nemi nate a State ticket. Thunsday and Friday next will be observed as the Jewishi New Year. Direct from the Front.
