"TiiOPOSEb BIBLE CONVENTION.
I A Circular prepared by direction of the Charles, j
ton lirble Society.
Charleston, May 1837. i
Sir:?Tlic Managers of the Charleston Bible j
, Society, IjttVJ appointed tlic undersigned, a com- j.
; mittcc to prepare and send forth a Circular, invi- !
' tirg the several Bible Societies in .the State to
i i-nitn u Wli ihctn bv their delegates, in a Conven-!
I lion, to be held at (Columbia, on Tuesday the 5th i
December 1637.
The objects to be secured by such a Conven-^
tion. are to ascertain what has been done in this |
State for the last four *or five years in giving :
circulation to the Bible; what facts may be co!. j
lected, which will throw light uj>on our yet re
inamiug destitutions; whether it is expedient, to
?njige simultaneously in rcsupplying the State
with the Word of Life upon a plan similar to
that which was agreed upon in Columbia, several
years ago; and if so, by what means and by what
agencies the plan can be most fully and thoroughly,
and jcdiciously carried into effect, so
that our entire reading population, have free recess
to copies of the Holy Scrpturcs in their
own possession. And fin illy to dcli!>erate upon
any other subject connected with the diffusion
of the Bible, whether at home or abroad, in
I Christian or in heathen lands,
j The general fact is known, that districts of
1 country, which have been thoroughly supplied
one year have contained many destitute families ;
he next; and what is "true of one district is true
of all the rest, as the same causes operate Id ere.
] ate the want, viz: the formation of new families,*
; the immigration of others, and the wearing out o?
'the Bibles themselves In most cases where a
re-supply has been uadcrtaken, after an interval
of four or five years, the destitution has been
found full half as great as at thej)criod of the
original supply, and in some cases greater, fiom
the cans -s already assigned. We allude to this
fact because it was one of the principal motives
which induced the Managers of the Charleston
Bible Society to proposo a convention. *
The Committee regard it as superfluous to urge J
the subject ujKm your consideration by any further
rem >.rks. .s all tho reasons for a Convention,
which wc could submit, must bo famuliar to your
mind. All that we have so solicit, is, that you
would call the attention of your society to the
proposition, that should they deem it expedient,
delegates may be appointed to represent your Society
in the Convention.
We have the honor to subscribe ourselves,- in
| name, anil by the appointment of the Managers
| of the Charleston Bible Society your fellow la.
! borers in the Bible cause.

AGRICULTURAL.
1 J
From the Southern Agriculturist,
i Methods of Reviving Worn-out Lands. !
Augusta, Georgia August, 1SJ37. j
Mr. Editor,?I have just4returned from j
i a ride in:o the interior of this State, and ;
j
i have seen many tnethods of culture, which, \
i to me, were novelties. Nothing, however, j
pleased me more than the growth of cottton j
j in some fields, which 1 was told, had been j
planted for twenty years. These Geor- j
gu-is have a dash of energy, that has ever ;
j hurried them to the fron', in the march of i
I improvement. Would you believe it: a]
. field of cotton, tint had been exhausted by j
j the workings of twenty years, exhibited the i
| promise of not less than one thousand j
weight of seed cotton to the acre. How ? i
j yon will ask. Tell the wherewithal? The
wherefore ? Nothing abstruse, Mr. Editor,
; No metaphysics in it* No jargon of the
j words alkalis and acids?nitrogen oxygen '
i ?carbon and bones! Nothing of the kind: j
Jit is only tiiis,?What was taken out of the !
; soil is put back into it. The Georgians, 1
1 unders'and, replenish their exhausted fields
in this way. Rye is planted broad cast j
! early in the fall; allowed to grow until pea'
season, and then the whole is planted in !
| peas broad-cast: when the peas rioen- if,
! the crop be abundant, you may pick t ?m, 1
and after this is done, turn the whole under
with th? plough. If the Hfc' come lo. ma- J th
turitv before you arc rcjjdv to plant peas,; at
you may top Ute grain ; or top in the milk* P(
jf the you have time. 'If lite land be very '.iu
poor,"this plan is usually adopted two suc--| B
cessive seasons, and .then it will afford an i w
abundant crop pf any thing. The appear- A
ancp of the soil is now changed: it acquires HP
a .vegetable mould, not" to be exhausted tor lis
many years. You may readily conclude 31
what the effect will be upon the soil by turn- 31
"ing under, first, a growth of rye, and then bt
a'growth of pea-vines. Nothing, to my bt
own knowledge, 1ts more renovating to land fu
than pea. vines. They are frwmje, If I maV
be allowed to use the word, and incorporate Jh
immediately with the earth, and thus give, h
r. .1 ' i _ ,i: : .i?? fh
1iuijj um3 coihoiurthuh, u uipcul uj
plants, wiihbu; firijig theit;t. or obsiructii *- re
the motion, or spreading of tli6ir roots. I I
am told that the crop of peas "will, of i'.self, hi
pay for. {lie seed used, and die price of la* y<
bor:' so that the improvement of'the soii is 3i
so much gained. *
Writing ofreplenisbing "soils, puts me- in til
mind ot whnt a very successful planter, in h<
Edgefield District, is in.the Jiabit of doing b!
every year. He plants about one "hundred th
acres of rye, oats,' or wheat, in the projier | tii
season ; gathers them.in. and stacks them ! b'
in ;*he field : when he has laid by his crop, |
or whenever heian spare lime, he gathers j
the grain in this manner :?He sew s pieces j he

P. S. I had almost forgot to*meii?ion j 01
how some of the planters of North Carolina i li<
replenish their com-lamta. Early in the j tf
fall they cover their fields with leaves or j ai
trash, and turn them under with the double j
horse-dagan or the crow.bar ; oats is then fli
planted, rather late in the season, with the cl
rake or harrow, broad cas*t, for a pea-crop, 'is
which is abundant. Peas riot in vegetable rr
matter partially decayed. This 1 have ai
seen; for the'most aburfdant crop I ever hi
gathered, was when I manured my corn al
with leaves ; the corn was " lery sorry," is
while the pass were vigorous. The reason tli
was this ; the leaves did not decompose in b;
time to benefit the corn, while later in the it<
season the peas had the benefit of tin m. ! c<
The ploughing of" ti e loaves should be deep.! d<
and they should ue nflectualiy covered to j sc
plant oats or rye with any hope of success; j pi
but the peas may be planted at all events,
and the same remark could be made of ac
wheat, s:nce new ground is said by some to c<
yield good wheat crops. When the land h:
is thus replenished, the North-Carolinians ly
rarely, if ever plant corn the first year: flit j it
plant most generally fires if they do. i in

* (TURKEYS.) - I;
Chickens we aU know how to raise, but | p
as few of us can rear 4 a good chance of i j
turkeys,' I will tell what I know; Next to i
chickens, of all poultry, they are the easiest' jraised.
When tho eggs hatch out, let the !
heqjpnd chicks be confined in a garden, or ;
any other place where the young ones can
sun their* Ives. Let them be fed with i c
hominy for two or three days; then carry j ^
tkem to a raii-pen, in a rye, oats, or buck-!
wheat patch ; confine the hen, and feed a: i j,
least three times a day with hominy or j-j
small grain. The young ones will soon ; j~
run about catching insects, and will come 10 I
the lien's call.- The lien should be thus j
conijiied until the turkeys are about half. ;
grown ; they will range about, but never j ^
.without the sound of the mother's eali. By : j
this plan, we do away with the necessity of; 0
having a turkey-minder. The young ones
are not liable to fnjury from hawks or ver- j 0
inin as when they follow the hen in her1 {j
rambles over the plantation, nor are they a
compelled, in keeping up with the hen, to j i(
fatigue themselves more titan is good for '
healtjt ' [.
Great care must be taken, to keep water j t|
out of the pen; it should be-ditched all round, | ^
so as to keep it dry ; its foundation should C(
be made higher, with dry sand, than the lev- |V
el around, and the top should be weil cov-;
ered ; the ditches nigh the pen should bu V(
covered with boards, to keep the young a|
ones from falling in. A on may rely on '
this plan, Mr. Editor. I have seen out of \
eighty.seven turkeys, eighty six raised,? Q[
orto having been mashed by a horse. j a
