The negro is so averse to wet end eold daring i bet period it i» hard to get work oat of him. But tor thi*, there is much eboat a term which coaid be doue, end most conveniently too daring tbe winter. Almost every thing in the way of betterments can be attended to with more advantage then then daring tbe bosy crop season. Ditehing, removing stumps and bto»e«, clearing end cleaning up, terracing, filling galliee, making levees across bottoms, making farm roads, hauling leaves for litter, making composts, and other like things, can receive at- tention without detriment to growing crops. Such matters are generally f >ut off until apring, and then there s a hurrying, and rnshing, and half doing, to get them done and ont of the way, that preparations may be made for summer crops. Very much of this kind of werk may be advantageously done in November, if labor can be held steadily to it; end where bauds are hired for the year, it ought to be done. The farmer cen give his whole at tention to these matters—study ami plan and supervise closely. We find that our presence is more Imperatively called for by this kind of work than any other on the farm. In routine operations, trained hands can do pret ty well, but in betterments repeated exercise of judgment is called for at ahnoet every step. We talk tnocb of improving our lands by deep plowing, sowing peas heavy manuring, but what avalleth these If land is rolling, and the soil U washed away as feat as it is deepened or enriched. In all efforts to improve the soil, the first step mast be to hold it—attention, stndy, ingenuity, most all be directed to this point. Since terracing hee acquired notoriety, hill side ditching has been almost entirely discarded. This may be well sfter terraces have become firmly'establish ed, hut anterior to tnis, whilst the ter- raeee are beiag made, and the loose earth thrown up by tbe plow is eaMily watbed away, ditches * ly advantageous, especially if washes have already began. In heavy rains, water acquires a terrible momentum down slopes that are long and steep, if allowed to traverse the whole dis tance ; catch it iu a ditch before it h had time to acquire volume and veloc ity. Make the ditch large and deep enough to hold the water In the heav iest rains; don t be] timid about this, feariugyour ditch will become a gal ley. With tbe greatest fall ''ill- side ditches, it Is an easy matter to get them filled up after they have^ served their purpose. Every one who has had much experience with hill- aide ditches knows that the trouble is to keep them opeu. Briars, weeds, etc., railing into them are constantly catching earth and making a soil in their bottoms, upon which spring up grasses and weeds; these catch more soil and soon the ditch breaks over, unless often cleaned out. In cross! them With Uw plow dirt and trash fa in to such a degree that it is next to impossible to keep them o|»en when tbe plowman does not tnrn at the ditch. Wtere rows are run on a level one year's breaking and cultivation of tbe land will completely obliterate a ditch that is crossed. A poorly made, inadequate ditch is worse tbaii no ditch, but a properly made, large ditch has one decided drawback; especially on steep slopes —the water felling into it Irom above tends to start little galliee on the upper edge of tbe ditch; and those If not checked tend to elongate up the hill- in other words ditches tend to __ .. _____ newytounda ot awcwrfvely rocky lasa It probably would not pay to •pend tbe requisite labor on tbeee. But there is m abnndauoe of open laud in tbe country with very few sturope or rooks upon it, and this should be cultivated and improved, even If badly worn, in preference to any other. On all such land tbe rocks and stumps should be removed; the coat will not be great, and will sopn be peld baokMn the saving of labor from tbe use of implements Which economile labor. The smoothing harrow, with its broad sweep of ten or twelve feet, in the carlv Hinges of cultivation, and tbe straddling culti- sarrvii stage of the crep, will soon pay back with large interest the expense of dig ging up a frw stamps and hauling off fi-w rocks. Perhaps these -iump- are needed cIom; by to build obstiU 1 - ti.ms ucros* gullies or ravines, or levees across branch bottoms, to check tbe flow of water during floods and gather deposits of sediment upon the eoll. The building of levees across v»l!ev lands Is worthy of attention. Branch bottoms are in some respects our very best lands, but they are often badly washed or scoured by heavy rains. Levees built across at narrow points, where the bills project into the bottoms, would not only stop the dam age from water, but make tbe over flows a positive blessing through the rich sediments deposited. Where the levees cross the main ditch, abutments of heavy rocks or of large timbers should be built or willows planted on edge of ditch. Where rocks cannot bo had to build a levee, a double row •fcmtiaBt be seeded to make up heaps In February.

To pretent loee ot ammonia a little kainit may be sprin kled in the stalls: a pound, or Irna, a day to each stall will suffice. Where one pronoses to use kainit in bis com post, this is the best manner of doing it; it will become thoroughly incorpo rated with the stall manure; thorough mixture of ite IngredicnU adds much to the value of a com poet. ( Frvm tkt Ntm and Couritr.) At noon on Wednesday the Ifitbinat. . white man, named Corley, and a negro, named Charles Brooks, galloped into Edgefield with tbe news of a most horrible crime. The victims are Edward Pressley, a white man, who Is over eighty years of age. and his two sons Charles and Edward, aged about twenty-six and thirty years respect ively. Tbe murderer is Robert Jouaa, also white, wbo married tbe grand daughter of fteasley and who Uvea the fkrm with tCwm.

Some time ago wo discussed at some length the subject of farm roads, and will not repeat. These should be looked after now and put in good order. Roads can kept in good condi tion much easier by a little work oft repeated than by much work at inter vaU. As soon as a wash or hole begins to form fill them at once few well broken rocks or spadefais of dirt will do it then; a wagon load may be required If neglected long. Our public roads would be kept in much better order is small squads of haads were kept working ou them all the time, in place el many handa upon them twice in the tear. This is very emphatically one of the cases iu which a stitch in time savel nine. Rocks should always be broken lino when used upon roads; no piece should be more than one and a half inches through. Small rocks will pack into a compact mass, Urge ones will not the latter will continually work ont of their beds, and a loose rock in road-bed is as objectionable as a stump A reck bainmer will be found a very convenient thing on a farm, where rocks are found. A road l>ed of c lu\ is mnch improved by the addition sand This may sometimes bo very convienentiy obtained bv placing ob struetions at intervals in the adjacent ditchea to catch the sand which washes into them. On the contrary, a sandy road-bed is improved by the addition of olav, and this can sometimes be cheaply obtained where there is an underlying clay subsoil by digging ditches, on each side of (tie rt>a< gener al gullies. Fortuuately this can be obviated by leaving an unplowed strip aloof tbe upper edge or the ditch. Weeds upper edge and grass growing upon this ■trip blade its soil so that water wilt not cot tkreugh it, but checked, in its flow, deposits its burden of soil on ■aid etrip and quietly percolates through This strip should be not less than three feet iu width. Where this precaution haa not bees taken, and gullies have Masted along the upper edge of ditchee, it would he well to put trash of some kind iu every ooe of these, weighing it down with rocks. A perfect edge to tbe ditch can thus be soon estab lished, and the unolowed atrip will take care of it afterwards. Don't defer looking after these apparently little thiaga; a stitch in time will save OK>re than afterwards. Where moderate gullies have al ready formed haul leaves, straw or trash of any kind and put in thorn—• little brusli at intervals, or a roar of stebe placed across (hem will serve to keep the leaves from being washed ont of them. If this is done, and plowmen made to HR their plows over in crossing these washes, they will very soon fill up. More are less dirt and trash will drop into (hem from tbe plows as thep are lifted over, and this will help to fill thorn. If washes arc plowed across without HRing plow, tbe loose dirt iu the wash is carried off by the first rain, and thus every plow ing serves to deepen the wash. Make It an nnviolable rule to have tbe plow tiffed over every wash that can be crossed. At this season of the year it is wel| to now a little rye, wheat or other grain along these washes that are filled with leaves; it will help materially to catch and hold tbe dirt whioh Is earried into them by rains; when this is done in the spring, a spontaneous growth of grass and weeds will do thn same thing. It is all im portant. however, in every case to fix care folly the iowerend of the wash or fil ly so ai to cheek the action of water there; the filling np will begin there ie hill. ~ difgini ad, dec| be put in ana beoot and gradually work np the hill.

Thov need irood roads on their farms over which to haul their crops to their barns, and good public road* to facilitulo trail*- l>ort of produce to market. A large supply ot barnyard manure, with which to make compost, is every year regarded as more and morn essen tial on the farm. Commercial fertil izers give so much better results in coniunetion with stall manure, than when used alone, that every farmer is anxious to have a foil supply of the latter. He wants enough to go over all the laud he cultivates. This can «only be had by the use of ample quan tities of litter. During the busy crop season, he did not feel perhaps that be had lime to stop his teams aud hands to haul leaves; but for some months now he will have ample time. A rude shelter under which litter could be Stored and kept dry is very desirable. Thus arranged a limited qnantity could ut in the atalls at short interval me thoroughly incorporst with the droppings of the animals. Wet leaves hauled directly from the woods and put in the stalls, not only brings discomfort to the slock, but adds ss much water as dead weight to be handled and hauled out. Where there Is a choice of oak and pine leaves the iaUer are rather to be preferred; some persons regard tliem of little mauarlal value—analysis does not confirm this view. Freshly failed leaves of tbe common old field pine contain the following quantities of manarial substances in a hundred parts: AWALTSIS or riNK STRAW.

When the indictment was read to tbe prisoners, their coun sel interposed a motion to quash it on different grounds, eighteen In nassber, which may be summarised ss foHoW*: 1. That the copy of tbe indictment fnrnislied them by the clerk ot Court was not a true copy. 2. A challenge to tbe array or panel of the grand jury. 3. The objections to the validity of the grand jury because some of tbe jurors were removed and some excused and others were institoted in their places. 4. A motion to quash the indictment because of defects in certain of the counts. The State, through the Attorney General, answered these objections, denying that auy one of them was tenable in law. The argument of ihe questions in volved in the defendants’ motion com menced before Judge Hudson on Thursday morbing. An hour was spent in a technical skirmish over points involving tbe order in which argumeut should be heard. The defence then proceeded SO open the case, Major Gary deliverin, the opening argument in their bebai He delivered a splendid legal argu meat, absolutely free from anything like seiiHational appeals, but confined entirely to the legal grounds upon which the plea of the defendants was based, lie was followed by Attorney- General Mile*, who likewise addressed himself wholly to the discussion of tbe legs) questions involved in tbe case Mr. Miies took occasion, however, in passing, to make a public acknowledg ment of hia indebtedness to the conn ed associated with him, Messrs. Bon ham A Bonham, and Gary Jk Evans, for the valuable aid which they had extended to him in the preparation of the case. General M. C. Butler cloaed the ar gument for the defence in a very strong *i»cech. Where human life, he said, was concerned, it would not do to come into Court and say that the solemn injunction of the law should be trifled with Before a man can bo put on trial for his life every provision, every injunction of the law, must be strictly and scrupulously complied with. The State could autfer no detriment bv having the law strictly enforced. Th* citizen could suffer no detriment and would, beside*, hare no excuse for taking the law iu his own hands. Judge Hudson then delivered his de cision orally, Hustaining tbe State in every particular and overruling all tbe points made by tbe defendants, which the Conrt udjourned for dinner, the defendants giving notice of ex ceptions to the ruling of tbe Court. The defence next moved to quash the panel ot petit jururs, alleging vari ous irregularities, aud argument heard. Shortly afUrwards, this mo tion to quash was abaudoned. The defendants’ counsel then moved that the trial of the case be postponed till the next term of Court, on the ground of the absence of a number of their witnesses and tbe ex peeled absence of Liontcnant-Governor Sheppard, ooe of the counsel, and beqMmr Talbert, one of tbe defendants^ Attorney General Miles said he considered that the motion was addressed entirely to the discretion of the Court. Tbe Butte, he added, was ready for trial. ARer hearing the views of all the counsel, Judge Hudson granted the motion and continued tbe case. A motion waa then made to admit all the defendants to bail, and the de fendants’ counsel spoke at some length on this. The attorney-renaral said that it was simply his duty, as the officer of tbe State, to call the aiten tion of the Cour* to the law on tbe subicct. Tbe State’s attorneys, he said, were glad that tbe responsibility was on the shoulders of the Conrt. They made no active resistance to the motion, as they did not feel it to be in the line of their dnly. Judge Hudson said that be regarded the circumstances of this case as some what extraordinary and peculiar, and without expressing au epiuion as to the weight of evidence in tbe,ease be would admit all the defendants to bail in the sum of fit,600 each. tbe tragedy of the oourt-houso.

The Fresaleys rent some land iu (fi* neigh borhood, a portksx of ufoioh wasocca pled by Jouei, who, ho we rat, paid no rent for it. On Tuesday evening before the homicide Charles Pressley went to Jones’* bouse and told him that lie would have to vacate the land as he and hia brother could not afford to pay the rent for him. On Wednes day about 11 o’clock Jones entered tbe field where old Pressley and his sons Charles and Edward were ploughing. A colored man who Mves near the scene of l be m u refer stales that he saw Jones go u(r to Ohartoe Pressley and, without any words, raise a double- barrelled gun to his shoulder and empty the contents of both barrels into tbe body of his victim.

Hi* sisiers arc married there, one of them being the wife of Mr. Parktnsn, one ot the defendants in the Culbreath case There is tbe strangest sequel to this horrible affair, however.
